Wang Jibao also encountered a problem boy before leaving.

"Come and tell my little aunt, why do you want to be a big farmer? Moreover, with your current qualifications, you also know that it is impossible for you to sit in the position of the great Si Nong. Wang Jibao called Wang Xu to his study, planning to have a good chat with him.

After this kid had this idea, he didn't make it clear to everyone how to support him.

"I know I can't do it yet. But little aunt, as long as I am willing to work hard, I will definitely be able to sit on it one day in the future. Little aunt, this is indeed a decision I made after serious consideration, and it is not a whim. After Wang Xu finished speaking, he lowered his head.

The child has passed the period of voice change, and his voice is a little warm. This also marks that Wang Xu has completed the transition from teenager to youth. Therefore, it is impossible for Wang Xibao to treat Wang Xu as a child who doesn't understand anything.

When Wang Xibao saw Wang Xu lowering his head, he understood that he didn't want to talk to himself more, and he meant to avoid the problem. So he asked, "What is the specific reason why I don't want to tell my little aunt?" ”

Wang Xu still lowered his head and refused to raise his head, which was a tacit acquiescence to what Wang Xibao had just said.

Wang Jibao tried to ask again: "Then if you don't make it clear to the little aunt, how do you want the little aunt to help you?" ”

When the child is older, it is time to have his own thoughts and secrets that he does not want to tell outsiders.

"I, I can't tell. It was the day you led us to visit the six departments, and I thought about it and felt that there was no position suitable for me, and none of them were what I wanted to do. So there is the decision now. Wang Xu hesitated for a long time and said such a pale and weak explanation.

"Oh? Since you say so, I won't ask any more. Knowing that he wanted to ask at the moment, this bear child would not tell the truth to himself, so Wang Jibao simply adopted a roundabout tactic.

Wang Xu seemed to be very surprised that Wang Jibao no longer asked him. He stared at Wang Jibao for a long time with big round eyes, and when he saw that Wang Jibao really didn't ask what he meant, he exhaled with relief.

Seeing Wang Xu like this, Wang Jibao was amused. "What? You still think your little aunt can eat you! ”

"Nope." Wang Xu immediately denied it.

"Alright, you can go back. Later, I'll ask Liangchen to send you a book on agriculture. It's less than a month before September's Enko, and you have to have a number in mind. It's not just lip service, and it's not just a matter of reading a few books. As for farming, there are no years of practice in the field, and to put it bluntly, it is just talk on paper. ”

This is also the reason why everyone in the family is against Wang Xu's examination of Dasi Nong. Although he learned the basic knowledge well, he had no experience in this area at all, and if he only took the questions in agriculture, this little guy would probably have to fall off the list.

Wang Xibao said: "As far as I know, there will be no special agricultural position this time. If you want to have a good background that is conducive to your future promotion, you must give me a Jinshi exam this time. Therefore, whether you want to be this big farmer in the future or not, I suggest that you take the household department exam this time. After all, he is still in charge of agriculture in the household department. ”

"Huh? That's right! Wang Xu said in surprise.

Wang Jibao said angrily: "What do you think? Just because you don't distinguish between grains and grains, if you want to be a big farmer, you should be? You think we're going to have a position just for you? ”

I don't even know this. also said that he was not a whim, this kid obviously had the second middle school disease, and he wanted to make everyone recognize him.

Seeing that Wang Xu's head was slowly lowered again, Wang Xibao said earnestly: "Don't do anything on a whim, think about it as a play." You have your own ideas, your own ideals and goals in life, which is very gratifying to my aunt, which shows that our brother Xu has grown up. However, you must remember that there are no shortcuts to success. If you really want to do something, you have to be down-to-earth and willing to endure hardships. Do you understand? ”

"I understand. But little aunt, I really want to be a big farmer. After Wang Xu finished speaking, he also clenched his fist to show his determination.

Seeing Wang Xu's insistence, and his refusal to explain the reason, and thinking about some recent events, Wang Xibao vaguely felt that Wang Xu's decision seemed to be related to himself.

So I tried to ask, "Are you doing all this for your little aunt?" ”

Wang Xu raised his head and looked at Wang Xibao in surprise, wanting to deny it, but he didn't know how to deny it. In the end, he simply lowered his head again.

"You think that other people can do something for me, especially Brother Brown has started to run errands for me, so you have always wanted to do something for me, right?" Wang Jibao continued to ask tentatively.

Seeing that Wang Xu did not admit or deny it, Wang Jibao continued: "So you think about it and think that you are not outstanding in all aspects, so you want to find another way to choose something that no one else has done before, right?" ”

Wang Xu still had no words.

"You know that Brother Brown is going to take care of our family's business, and you want to take care of those barren mountains and wastelands for me, right?" Through this kind of question, Wang Jibao has smoothed out his thinking step by step. "If you think about it, you can only do more for me if you become a big Si Nong, right?"

"It's the only position that no one wants to do, so you're willing to do it, right?"

Wang Xu's head was lowered. Obviously, his idea was guessed by Wang Jibao.

"Brother Xu, you raise your head and look at your little aunt." Wang Jibao said with a commanding tone: "The men of our family must straighten their chests and be people no matter what time they arrive." My little aunt doesn't want you to make yourself so low. Even if it's in front of me."

"Yes, little aunt." Wang Xu whispered. Then slowly raised the chest. But his eyes still didn't dare to meet Wang Jibao.

"Come, since my little aunt has guessed something, then let's have a good talk." If this is not explained clearly, Wang Jibao will feel uncomfortable in her heart.

"You also know that my little aunt is going to find your little brother-in-law. To be honest with you, this time I'm afraid it's a matter of death, and it's not certain whether my little aunt will come back alive in the future. So, before leaving, the little aunt hopes that you can tell the little aunt the truth. This may be the last time our aunt and nephew will talk, or it may be the last time my aunt will help you. ”

Wang Xu listened to Wang Xibao's words, and his eyes were red. Hurriedly said: "No, little aunt, you will definitely be fine." You will definitely be able to find your uncle smoothly, and you and your brother-in-law will definitely return safely. ”

Wang Jibao smiled and stepped forward to touch the top of Wang Xu's hair. This kid didn't dodge this time, and honestly sat there and let her touch. This made Wang Jibao feel very happy.

"By your auspicious words, my little aunt and your little brother-in-law will definitely return safely." Wang Jibao walked to his seat and did not forget to ask, "Let's talk." Tell me what you think. ”

Wang Xu was affected by Wang Xibao's not-so-good words just now, and finally said slowly: "Little aunt, what you just said is a little right and a little wrong. ”

Wang Jibao nodded and said apologetically: "I'm just guessing. If there is anything wrong, please forgive Brother Xu. ”

This kind of way of speaking from elders who are willing to admit their mistakes to younger generations is estimated to be only available to Wang Jibao.

"Actually, my little aunt doesn't have to apologize to me." Wang Xu said a little shyly: "I know that I am not as talented as Brother Brown, and I don't want to compare anything with him." But I really want to be able to do things for my little aunt like him. I know that my grandfather and third uncle value him very much now, otherwise they would not have cared about his studies when they were so busy. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu raised his head and looked at Wang Jibao, wanting to see if his guess was right through Wang Jibao's expression. But unfortunately, Wang Jibao just smiled faintly at him and encouraged him to continue.

"I, I just want to do business, this brown brother himself can't do it, but there is a little aunt who is willing to teach him, and if the second uncle comes to us in the future, he will take him with him, and I don't have to think about it to know that he will definitely succeed. So what are my advantages over him? Speaking of this, Wang Xu said with some pain: "It's a pity that I don't excel in my writing, and I can't do martial arts." In the future, it will be difficult to inherit the mantle of Daddy. ”

Wang Jibao stepped forward again and touched Wang Xu's head, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you are already very good compared to other children." The reason why my little aunt chose Brother Brown to take care of her business is because Brother Brown is more slippery than you. Do you think that's still an advantage? ”

After Wang Jibao finished speaking, she still looked at Wang Xu with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Huh? And for such reasons? "This slippery head doesn't sound like a good word!

Wang Jibao nodded and said very seriously: "Yes, sometimes it is more suitable for people who have slippery heads to do business." People who are too honest don't know if they are deceived by others, and they can't pay for it! So, that's why we didn't choose you, but it doesn't mean we're going to give up on you. Got it? ”

"Oh! I know. Wang Xu felt that he was a little cautious.

"Then you go on, how did you want to be a great Si Nong later?" Wang Jibao changed the topic back.

This time, Wang Xu did not evade, and said honestly: "I, I just thought, for a family, what is more important than making money?" This reminds me of the fields, our family has a lot of fields in Yongguo, although there are only fields given by the imperial court to my grandfather and third uncle a few days ago, but there are many barren mountains and wastelands in the hands of my little aunt! We haven't had anyone in our family who is specifically responsible for taking care of this area, so why don't I do it! ”

Wang Xu said this, raised his head and looked at Wang Jibao.

Wang Jibao suddenly felt that Wang Xu was really thoughtful this time, and he was really not messing around. So he encouraged: "What you said is very good! The idea is not bad, either. ”

Husbandry. No matter which country, which dynasty or generation, it is a top priority.
