Chapter 419: Talent
Although Dong Changhai did not participate in the affairs of the county government, as an outsider, he could see it clearly, and he was willing to bow to this niece's wrist.
Sometimes he thinks that maybe Xue'er was born for the royal family, and she was born with the ability to sit firmly in the position of Princess Youyue in the future.
Thinking about it, he still answered Xue'er's question: "Fortunately, although I am not sure that I will get good results, I am still confident in getting a Jinshi." ”
Xue'er nodded: "How is Cousin Chengyu, but the materials for learning?" ”
The corners of Dong Changhai's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles: "I have observed, except for your father, the four of us are not people with great ability, but almost all of you are talents in your generation, I believe that not only Chengyu, but even your other cousins are also learning materials!"
Regardless of whether they can make a name for themselves in the officialdom in the future, as long as they are willing to study hard, they will definitely win the Toad Palace and get ahead. ”
He is completely seeking truth from facts, and Xue'er has also noticed that Dong Chengyi has given up literature and business, and her three younger brothers are all good materials for studying, and Dong Chengqiong and Dong Chengkui of the third uncle's family, and Dong Chengyu of the fourth uncle's family are all good seedlings, and they are all worth cultivating in the future.
"I'm relieved, the strength of the family is not to be underestimated.
Our Dong family will have me as a princess in the future, at least we can ensure that if they enter the office, they can go smoothly, and I will also sit firmly in the position of Princess Youyou because of them! ”
"Fourth Uncle understands what Xue'er means, don't worry, your grandfather is energetic now, and he is urging a few little guys to study every day, I believe you will not be disappointed in the future!" Dong Changhai said with a smile.
Dong Changhai is the most elegant of Dong Changhe's brothers, and his gentle temperament is fully displayed.
"I am looking for the fourth uncle alone this time because I have something to trust, but I don't know if it will delay the fourth uncle's study?" Since Cher has already made up her mind, she will not give up halfway.
There are less than two years to go, and if he is willing to take his two younger brothers out for a trip during this time, it will be a good way.
"Xue'er begged the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle did everything, even if he delayed his studies, it didn't matter, the fourth uncle would take the exam next time!
The fourth uncle is still young now, and he doesn't worry about his livelihood, and he won't worry about getting into the office in the future. So Cher just say! Dong Changhai patted his chest and assured Xue'er.
To be honest, Xue'er was still very moved after hearing this, her relationship with the third uncle is the best, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't like the fourth uncle.
"That's the case, after the death of her mother, Ze'er and Qing'er have not been in a good mood."
Dong Chengze and Dong Chengqing heard their sister say about them, and they all pricked up their ears and waited for the next step.
Dong Chengze didn't expect his sister to know their brother so well, and he usually hides it very well, how can my sister see that they miss their mother very much?
Dong Chengqing blinked his eyes wide, listened carefully, and said in his heart, Sister Dao, this is begging the fourth uncle to do something for them!
He is more than seven years old, and he is no longer the child who only knows how to spoil his eldest sister, and he also understands many people's love for the world.
"I want to take advantage of their filial piety, let them go out for a trip in the past two years, and they all say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and reading is the same as our creation, and we can't do it behind closed doors."
Dong Changhai didn't expect Xue'er, a little lady in the back house, to have such vision, and he also thought about how his son should be cultivated in the future because of Xue'er's words.
He listened to Xue'er continue: "For more than a year, they have been delayed in the affairs of the back house, although they have also studied with the teacher in the house, but their vision is still narrow, I hope they can go out for a walk and see the customs outside, the so-called edutainment is like this!" ”
As soon as Dong Chengqing heard that he could go out to travel, his eyes lit up, not to mention how happy he was.
However, Dong Chengze's eyes were shining, and then they dimmed.
It's not that he doesn't want to go out to travel, it's just that he doesn't feel at ease when he leaves his sister at home alone.
It would be nice if the eldest sister could also go out with them, but looking at the eldest sister's almost demonic face, he was a little worried.
He knew from a very young age that his sister's appearance was one of the best in Changhai County, not that his sister didn't go out, and he didn't know how many young men he would charm?
"I'm afraid of delaying the fourth uncle's study, but I can't find a better candidate, the fourth uncle is from a good background, has a meritorious reputation, it is much more convenient to go out, and the fourth uncle can also teach their studies during this period.
And the fourth uncle can also increase his own knowledge, if he can find one or two contemporary Confucians, the fourth uncle can also get their guidance. ”
There are no well-known schools north of Youzhou, and the most famous colleges of the Daxi Dynasty are gathered in the Central Plains and the south.
Xue'er was reluctant to let her younger brothers leave home and go to study so far away, but it was still acceptable to let them go out and travel and grit their teeth.
It's okay not to ask the fourth uncle to accompany her, as long as she arranges for the teacher to follow Mo Shijiu and Mo Shijiu, she is not afraid of any accidents.
But the two brothers didn't have their own family members by their side, and he was still weak in his heart and had no bottom.
"Xue'er, your idea is good, the fourth uncle agrees, you can leave this matter to me, just after this year, I also want to go out for a walk, as long as you can rest assured, the fourth uncle is duty-bound!"
In fact, Dong Changhai had this idea before, but the child was still young, and there were too many things at home in the past two years, although he had ideas, he had never been able to take action.
Since Xue'er trusted him this time, he also made up his mind, just like he has not made much progress in the past few years, and the reason is that he is just a student from the mountains, relying on the books left by his ancestors behind closed doors, compared with the students who have studied in the famous academy for a long time, he is not half a star.
"Xue'er is relieved, otherwise she wouldn't ask for the fourth uncle to come, and when the time comes, I will arrange for Mo Shijiu and his wife, as well as Mo Shijiu's brother Mo Shu to follow, and I will also prepare in advance if needed.
Although Mo Shijiu is a little lady, she has good kung fu and is proficient in medical skills, and she can take care of you in life. The three of them used to be the secret guards under His Royal Highness King Youwang, and the three of them knew everything about the rivers and lakes and the court, and the fourth uncle could rest assured with their guards.
It happens to be autumn next year, and the fourth uncle can arrive in Chang'an before that, and the fourth uncle in the province will rush to take the exam alone at that time, and the family will still be worried.
Is it good for the fourth uncle to see me arrange it like this? Xue'er said her specific plans, hoping to give Dong Changhai a reassurance.
Mo Shijiu's son can already let go, anyway, she won't leave the house in the past two years, and her safety is no problem, so she is still sure of convincing Mo Shijiu and the three of them.
