Chapter 7: There is more than one road

I tried not to be so unacceptable, and said to him calmly: "Fengnian, you are not young, what did Mr. teach you in the academy?" Could it be that when the two armies face each other, you only think of the antecedents, but you don't think of the consequences? The antecedents are clearly placed there, do you think there are several possibilities for the consequences? Or, how much is true and how much is false? Could it be that just because of the friction between the two sides, Nanchu is going to send troops to crusade like our country? It's not like two people fighting over a piece of candy, how can it be so easy to provoke a war? ”

The more Lu Fengnian listened, the more shocked he became, he only felt that the two armies were going to fight against each other, and he really didn't think about why they were fighting and what would happen after the fight.

But when I say this, even I feel that fighting a war is not so easy, I am afraid that the two sides are just showing their fangs to each other, scaring and scaring each other.

In this way, wouldn't King Ryan not be so busy? When the wedding date comes, he can hold the wedding as usual again?

Thinking of this, I was depressed, and I was happy in vain, which was really boring.

Lu Fengnian's face changed again when he saw me, and his own thoughts had not been digested, so he began to worry about me again.

"Sister, your face has changed for a while, and you really turn your face faster than turning a book. Tell me, what the hell did you just think? Why do you laugh one moment and worry the other? Lu Fengnian asked with interest.

I glanced at him and said, "I'm just thinking, if there is a real fight, what will King Ruian do, is he going to the front line to boost morale and retreat in one fell swoop, or will he shrink into Ning'an County to be a stable prince and shrink his head as a turtle?" Either way, I'm afraid it won't be to my liking. ”

"Whatever? That's not something you should worry about. Sister, you just have to wait for marriage with peace of mind, no matter what the situation at the border is, you just need to take care of yourself. Lu Fengnian comforted me.

I reciprocated Lu Fengnian's concern for me with a slight smile, and said, "Fengnian, you are twelve years old this year, do you know what your father plans for you?" Do you want to prepare for the imperial examination in these two years? ”

"Yes, otherwise, what else is the purpose of sending me to study at the academy for so many years? Sister, why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

I nodded slightly, this is what I expected, my father was born in the imperial examination, and naturally I also hope that my son is also born in the imperial examination, so this is what a scholarly family should do.

"Feng Nian, in addition to studying in the academy, what do you usually do? You don't just lock yourself in your room and read, do you? ”

"No, I'm still outside with other students discussing national affairs and discussing the current situation, there are a lot of interesting things every day, and I can increase my knowledge a lot, which is really good. It's a pity that you're a woman, otherwise I'd love to take you with me. Lu Fengnian said with some excitement.

I shook my head and said, "That's not enough, if you don't pass the imperial examination, what are you going to do?" Prepare for the next test? Or do you never take the exam again, farming or working? If you take the exam every year, what if you don't pass it every year? Have you figured out a way out? ”

"What do you mean?"

Lu Fengnian is a smart person, I know a little bit, he asked, obviously he had already thought of this question.

I smiled slightly and said, "Have you ever thought about walking several roads at the same time?" Enter, you can enter the Shi to worship the prime minister, live in the temple high, retreat, can be a horse in the rivers and lakes, live in the temple far. Or, in other forms, he can control the affairs of the temple and be a white-clothed prime minister? ”

I don't know why, when I mentioned this topic with Lu Fengnian, these words automatically popped up in my mind, it seems that I have been thinking about it for a long time, and it is just a time to say it all, and today, the time has come.

Lu Fengnian looked at me blankly, as if he had never known me, his eyes were first shocked, then confused, and then clear, obviously opening up another world that had never been opened in his mind. Not only that, but I saw recognition in his eyes.

Lu Fengnian knows that his father has been studying hard for decades to achieve a small county order, and how great is the hard work and dedication? In the end, he was exchanged for a county magistrate, and how depressed his father has been for many years?

If there was another way to go, why did my father work so hard? If he knows how to be flexible, can his father use other ways to get an official position and benefit one party?

My father didn't say this to Lu Fengnian, so Lu Fengnian didn't have this concept in his head. But now that someone has told him and opened his brain, then in the future, Lu Fengnian himself will take the initiative to explore the mysteries, so as to embark on a road completely different from his father.

In the end, Lu Fengnian's eyes were full of inquiry, and he asked, "Sister, where did you hear these words from a boudoir woman?" And why do you want to tell me? Did you plan to do so for a long time, and you only had the opportunity to say it to me today? ”

My dear brother, why are you so smart?

I looked at Lu Fengnian with satisfaction and said: "My father is an upright gentleman, his style of action is upright and upright, and he never disdains to do that crooked way, so for so many years, my father is just a county magistrate." I didn't understand it before, but now that I think about it, King Ryan wants to marry me as a concubine, and I am afraid that he also took a fancy to this quality of my father, and felt that I was worthy of the position of princess. ”

Lu Fengnian nodded, he also knew this.

"But you are different, if you are like your father and follow his old path, then don't you have to wait until your father's age to become a petty official, and slowly climb up step by step? Does your father want to see you work so hard? If not, can you manage your own path while studying? ”

"Then sister, have you figured out what to do?" Lu Fengnian asked.

I pondered for a while, in fact, I don't know what to do, after all, my memory is limited, and the things I know are also limited, and the help and advice I can provide to Lu Fengnian is really scarce.

Seeing Lu Fengnian's expectant eyes, I said: "Doing business, accumulating enough wealth, having money can make the ghost grind, and only after having money, can you do further things." Then it is to set up your own forces, organize a group of people, collect intelligence, or do things for dignitaries, or just a force in the rivers and lakes, which is not related to the government and politics, mainly depending on which direction you want to develop. But you also know that I have an empty idea, but my memory is only in this short period of one or two months, and I know very little, and I still have to rely on yourself to do it, and I can't help much. But I still have a little pocket money here, if you are short of money, I can give it to you. ”
