In fact, at the beginning, Xin'er also thought about whether this would be a test for his father, but when he was sent to a family in Henan to live a life for three months in a row among ordinary people in the countryside of Henan, his former mood gradually faded. In the first half month, Xin'er still had all kinds of illusions, but this illusion gradually shattered. However, in the first month, and even in the second month, Xin'er had plans to escape, but when the quarter gradually passed, the initial pain gradually became accustomed to it, and finally became numb.

In any case, as the overall economic environment is quietly changing, even the backward areas of the second-tier regions outside the confines of the Central Governor's District are no longer as painful as they used to be. In particular, the sanitary conditions, which were simply unacceptable to those of the upper classes, could at least barely become acceptable. At the same time, Xin'er is not the worst child. There are many girls whose fate, and even other boys, are obviously much worse than their own. Perhaps because of the worry about the new child's background, the family where the new child is located is not too harsh in normal times.

Just half a year later, Xin'er gradually adapted to this poor life, and seemed to be a little resigned to fate, but one day when he came home from chopping wood, he found that a middle-aged man with a completely different temperament from ordinary villagers suddenly did it in front of the bed, which seemed to be somewhat familiar.

After being silent for a long time, Xin'er, who was not too strong-minded, couldn't help crying excitedly and didn't say anything. However, from Xin'er's gaze, Xiao Xuan still saw something to some extent.

"I probably know what you're going to say. You might be tempted to say: some people deserve to die, if not for themselves. It is not only those who abduct and sell human beings that should be punished, but also the lower class of human traffickers? ”

"Isn't today's Ming Dynasty known as the law that must be held accountable to the public"? The purpose of rebuke is to educate the people, but it must not go against some people's feelings. For example, if there is no such phenomenon, the marriage problem of the lower class in many villages will be more serious. To a large extent, this is also a kind of reverse adjustment of class differentiation and solidification, and the pacification of the lower classes. Therefore, in the past, many times the administrative and even judicial levels only punished selling but not buying this phenomenon, and even acquiesced to a certain extent. Of course, as the entire Ming Dynasty began to own the whole world over the years, many contradictions that were fundamentally difficult to solve in the past will gradually be resolved. Such acquiescence will not be long. As for the people around you, many of them are actors specially arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, if you are really placed in the lower level in the real sense, I will also worry that you will not be able to adapt to the sanitary environment there at all and will soon become seriously ill... ”

After crying for about half an hour, seeing that Xin'er was gradually relieved, and her emotions didn't seem to be as excited as before, Xiao Xuan said solemnly: "Even in the past, most of those gentlemen in the world were people who had a little power but were far away from the core of the family. A person who holds great power or even wealth, not to mention an emperor, even an ordinary merchant may often encounter the calculations of one opponent or another, against you, and also against your descendants. If you plan to take on the heavy responsibilities of the world in the future, you will be given the requirements, risks, and even opportunities to bear the heavy responsibilities. But you are different today. Of course, if you're planning to do a foolish affair in the future, I can give you a similar opportunity, but not yet. Now your reputation and deeds are still very much related to my interests. If you had made a similar choice, I would not have made you the successor of the world ... I'm not in a hurry about what you're going to do in the future, but now I'm going to imagine and talk about my first thoughts. If you feel that it is not appropriate in the future, I can also give you a chance to correct it... ”

In fact, Xiao Xuan has enough self-confidence, a modern country's requirements for a monarch or even a monarch with real power are actually getting smaller and smaller, and a mediocre person with the qualification level of the Son of Peace can also look very productive in modern times. However, if he doesn't even have this level, then Xiao Xuan is still unwilling to let this kind of person be a spare tire.

However, what made Xiao Xuan a little disappointed at this time was that Xin'er at this time did not show the ambition that he had shown without scruples in some things before: "Father should choose another meritocracy, I feel... I don't feel like I'm up to the weight of being in charge of the world ... Speaking of this, Xin'er seemed to recall something, and added: "It's already good to be able to consult and even go out for inspections like the master or the cabinet of the State Council." I now know what my shortcomings are... ”

At this time, Xin'er had completely recovered from the previous grief, but Xiao Xuan still seemed to see something: "Do you want to say now: Why is my father, as the lord of the world, able to have no scruples in ordinary times?" This is because, as a monarch who has revolutionized the world, my capital and even the prestige I have accumulated cannot be compared with that of the Taiping Emperor. There are some things that can be done without the exception of others and may not be easily imitated ... ”

At this time, Xin'er didn't think so, anyway, isn't his father also the inheritor in a sense? Far from being a true founding monarch. And giving up some of the baggage on her body, Xin'er felt a lot more relaxed.

After returning to Yingtian, Tian Xiuying was very disappointed after learning about the choice made by Xin'er, but she was unwilling to show it in front of Xiao Xuan. Tian Xiuying actually understands that her child is no longer Xiao Xuan's only choice. Therefore, in front of Xiao Xuan, Tian Xiuying also showed a very angry look, and did not show too much affection for Xin'er, but wanted to find a few teachers in the Central Academy to discipline the child.

In this regard, Xiao Xuan had no objection, just for the sake of secrecy and at the same time, he didn't want Xin'er to get too rich network resources since he was a child and cause trouble to himself in the future, so he still chose the method of sending people to discipline him in the palace.

Because of the lessons brought by this incident, in the time since, Xin'er seems to have converged a lot, and she has not troubled female classmates or even female teachers, but when she is studying in class and even in ordinary times, she has not worked hard as if she had completely changed her person.

Under Xiao Xuan's inquiry, Xin'er still thought that after he became literate, the books in the school were not very useful, far less interesting than the military history secrets and even various summaries in the central archives that he had seen before, as well as various investigations in the economic and social fields.
