"I've thought about it a long time ago, dad." Wu Erya said with a smile on her face and eyebrows.
"snort."
Warrior Xun scolded softly,
"Think about it again! This is an opportunity for you children. If you can be selected by the Grand Master, even girls can be learned and promising!"
Wu Erya nodded, but was a little unconcerned.
At this moment, Xu Fenglei's eyes suddenly opened.
"It's almost time."
He raised his eyes and said,
"Who comes first?"
"We, we, we Yuanqing will come first." Xianglishi greeted Wu Yuanqing hurriedly, and then pushed Wu Yuanqing.
Bang.
Wu Yuanqing almost stumbled to the ground after being pushed by his mother. He instinctively raised his head and met Xu Fenglei's calm eyes.
"Tell me, what do you want to do in the future?"
Xu Fenglei looked down at Wu Yuanshuang and said calmly.
"me……"
Wu Yuanqing was a little panicked and stammered,
"I want to... be an official, a high official!"
Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.
"Being an official, and you must be a high official...why be an official?" he asked again.
"For, for..."
Wu Yuanqing frowned and held it in for a long time before saying,
"In order to... benefit the people! In order to make the people of the Tang Dynasty live a good life!"
After hearing this response, Xianri breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction.
This answer should be no problem, right?
"Do you believe it yourself?" Xu Fenglei asked with a faint smile.
"Uh, this...I..." When Wu Yuanqing was asked this question, he suddenly felt weak in his heart, so he turned to look at his mother behind him, looking for help.
None of the answers I just memorized answered this question!
"Okay, I already know, next one."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and ordered.
Wu Yuanqing returned to his mother's side with his head hanging down, and then Wu Yuanshuang came out.
"My ambition is to be a general!"
Because he was prepared in his heart, Wu Yuanshuang was more confident than his brother and said loudly.
"How about being a general?" Xu Fenglei asked as usual.
"Then of course we must kill the barbarians, kill them all!"
Wu Yuanshuang's eyes shone with excitement and ferocity, and he couldn't stop talking as soon as he opened the chatterbox, and he kept talking,
"Grab all the barbarian's grain, cattle, sheep, and women!"
"Then……"
Snapped!
Warrior Yu took out the sole plate of his shoe and smashed it into Wu Yuanshuang's face.
"What nonsense!"
he snapped.
He can say such things as a woman who robbed a barbarian, but this boy is less than ten years old!
I really want to beat him up!
"Woo..." Wu Yuanshuang received a slap on the face with a shoe, and he suddenly started whimpering in grievance.
"Oh, what are you doing!"
Xianglishi hugged his son and shouted to the warrior Yun,
"You are not allowed to hit Yuan Shuang! If you hit me badly, where can you go to pay me a son?!"
Warrior Xun's face darkened.
"I would rather not have such a bastard son!"
He said angrily,
"Go away, I have to teach him a lesson today! Otherwise, if he makes a fool of himself in front of others, everyone will say that I, the father, did not teach him well, and the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!"
"You didn't teach him well in the first place..." Xianglishi muttered, protecting his son behind him.
"You!" Warrior Xun's face turned red and he said angrily, "I think we have to enforce family law today! You..."
This son deserves a beating, and my wife deserves a beating too!
He rolled up his sleeves and was about to stand up, but was stopped by Xu Fenglei.
"Okay, okay, Duke Wu, why are you so angry about this little thing?"
He waved his hand and said,
"Tong Yan Wuji, I think this child's answer is slightly better. At least it is sincere and not so hypocritical and empty."
"Since ancient times, the Chinese and the barbarians have been at odds with each other. The barbarians and barbarians have robbed us too much, and it is right for us to rob them. This is what I told the soldiers when I went to conquer the Turks."
"So, it's not wrong."
"This kid has a lot of energy. Studying may not be the material for him. If he joins the army, he might be able to accomplish something."
After hearing what he said, Samurai Yu's expression softened a bit.
"It made the Grand Master laugh."
He clasped his fists in shame and sighed softly,
"This boy doesn't like to study. He only likes to wield swords and guns. He also has some bad habits. He would bully the maids in the house at a young age... Hey, let's not mention this!"
"I also want him to go to school and study hard, get his mind right, and stop having evil thoughts. That will only harm him!"
"Look..."
Xu Fenglei shook his head.
"Everyone has his own way. It is not only the school that can transform people. In fact, it is the army, an army with strict military disciplines, that can really change minds and turn evil into righteousness."
He said,
"For example, Li Ji's army is famous for its strict military discipline."
"How about waiting a few more years, when this child is older, and I will recommend him to Li Jijun to hone his skills?"
Samurai Xun smiled bitterly.
Listen to this... His boss Yuan Qing didn't catch Xu Fenglei's attention at all. Although his boss Yuan Shuang said something ridiculous, he was somewhat appreciated.
But in the end, he still couldn't reach the threshold of the school.
"Grand Master, you know that I am also from the military. Being a general in this war is much harder than being a civil servant in the court."
He sighed,
"Also, now that the world is at peace, even if you want to get a military promotion, it will be difficult..."
"Look..."
Warrior Xun wanted to work harder, but Xu Fenglei said:
"Pearls are not jade. Everyone has their own talents. Only by choosing a suitable path and working hard can you achieve success. Otherwise, you will be inactive all your life."
"Although there is peace now, there are still many unsubordinate countries around the Tang Dynasty. With your majesty's temperament, you will definitely attack them in the future! There are the countries of the Western Regions to the west, and Goguryeo to the east. As long as you train well, you may not be able to defeat them. Can we fight?"
"Don't worry, this road is still bright and smooth."
Although Li Er made a decree not to use weapons for five years, but how long is five years?
At the snap of a finger!
The Tang Dynasty is bound to expand! At least Li Shimin will definitely fight against Goguryeo!
"...In that case, okay."
Warrior Xun was finally convinced, nodded, pointed at Wu Yuanshuang and said,
"Why don't you thank Uncle Xu for pointing out a way for you!"
"You kid, don't think that fighting is just for fun. When you see the blood of your comrades and see them fall in front of you one by one, you will know how cruel it is!"
Children always think that fighting a war is like playing house, being a general and showing off one's power!
"I got it, Dad!"
Wu Yuanshuang rubbed his sore face, pouted and saluted Xu Fenglei,
"Thank you Uncle Xu!"
Seeing that neither of his sons was chosen, Xiangli was a little unhappy, but he still bent down and saluted, saying:
"Thank you, Grand Master, for showing me the way."
Xu Fenglei nodded slightly, no longer paying attention to the two boys, and his eyes fell on Wu Shun'er.
"it's your turn."
He asked the military eldest daughter, and said,
"What do you want to do in the future?"
"What can a woman want to do?" Xianglishi muttered, "It's just to marry a good family and be a husband and raise children."
Even in the open-minded Tang Dynasty, there were few career paths for women to choose from, let alone joining the court as an official or joining the army as a general.
Wu Shuner lowered his head and said softly:
"I would like to marry a good husband. If I can open a field in my spare time, plant vegetables and raise flowers, I will be satisfied."
Her attitude was that of being submissive.
Hearing her words, Xiangli became more and more contemptuous, glanced at Yang, and sneered:
"Is this also called ambition? If you don't know, you might think it's some peasant girl?"
"It's really embarrassing... We, the Wu family, are noble after all. How could we give birth to a peasant woman?"
Yang's expression changed slightly, but she didn't dare to refute, so she could only endure the ridicule silently.
"Create fields and grow vegetables and flowers?"
Xu Fenglei became interested and asked casually,
"Do you have any experience in farming?"
"Talk about it."
"Yes!" Before Wu Shun'er could answer, Wu Erya rushed to answer, "The flowers my sister raised are so beautiful! And she also grew some vegetables at home, which are more delicious and sweet than those bought in the ordinary market. ! I love eating it!"
When Xu Fenglei heard this, he became even more surprised.
"Do you still have this ability?"
He looked at Wu Shun'er and said,
"Tell me, tell me! How did you do it!"
"Actually...it's nothing." Wu Shun'er said with some trepidation, "It's nothing more than applying more fertilizer and repelling insects regularly. As for the fertilizer, it's just the feces in the dry toilet at home. Although it smells a bit, it can really make people happy." The soil is more fertile, and growing things on it is better..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xianglishi over there rolled his eyes.
"vomit--"
She covered her mouth, raised her hand and scolded,
"Okay, okay, don't talk anymore!"
"You make me sick! It's so... disgusting. A girl picks the shit!"
"If word of this spreads, my Wu family will become a laughing stock!"
Samurai Yu also looked a little embarrassed.
"This...Shun'er, don't do this kind of thing again in the future. Women can't do such indecent things."
He also waved his hand and said,
"Say no more."
Warrior Xun suddenly regretted inviting Xu Fenglei to his home.
Idiot eldest son, he can't even speak clearly.
The surly second son just wanted to kill the barbarian and steal the woman.
The weird eldest daughter actually likes to farm and pick up manure!
What are these kids doing? He was almost completely embarrassed!
"Yes." Wu Shuner shrank his head, as if he had done something wrong, and buried his head lower.
However, Xu Fenglei clapped his hands and praised:
"Good, good, very good!"
"Who said this is an indecent thing? Don't you need to eat? After several generations of ancestors, aren't they all mud-legged? Who are you looking down on!"
"Farming is an important matter for the country! It's a good thing that your daughter can think about improving the fertility of the land so that more crops can be grown and the flowers can be more beautiful!"
Samurai Xun was slightly startled.
He didn't expect that Xu Fenglei would speak highly of 'picking shit'...
"Wu Shun'er, just do what you like."
Xu Fenglei encouraged,
"I have also set up an agricultural college in my school. Currently, we are in urgent need of a group of hard-working people who are educated, knowledgeable and capable of research, and who do not despise the hard work and dirt of the farmland."
"You meet my conditions."
"Although you don't have much knowledge at the moment, if you have this kind of heart, you can definitely cultivate it!"
"In the name of the dean, I will give you a quota. Remember to report to Chang'an Academy in September!"
Wu Shuner suddenly raised his head: "!!!"
She never expected that she would be chosen!
At the same time, the warrior Yu. Xiangli and Yang were all stunned.
You didn't choose the two legitimate sons of the Wu family, and you thought of an ordinary concubine?
Just because she loves farming? Don’t you dislike poop?
What kind of weird admission standards are these!
"I, I can really..."
Wu Shun'er's breathing was a little rapid, and he stammered,
"Can I go to school?"
"Of course, you have the qualifications." Xu Fenglei said firmly, "I am very optimistic about you. After completing your studies in the future, you can directly join the Agricultural College I established. If you can develop some good ideas, that will be a great opportunity to truly benefit the people. A good thing, your name will be passed down from generation to generation... This is by no means empty talk!"
Wu Shun'er froze on the spot.
Can she, Wu Shuner, also become famous? This is simply something I can’t even dream of!
"Shun'er, why are you still standing there? Why don't you thank the Grand Master quickly!"
Yang pushed her and said hurriedly,
"quick!"
"...Oh, oh, thank you, Grand Master!" Wu Shun'er finally reacted and hurriedly bowed to Xu Fenglei.
This bend is a standard right angle, which shows that he is truly grateful.
"Just call me Uncle Xu from now on."
Xu Fenglei said kindly,
"School starts in a few months, so you can study more at home on how to make crops more productive and flowers more beautiful."
"Looking forward to a surprise from you."
He also tried his best to appear nice.
After all...agricultural talents are rare!
Agricultural science is a combination of agriculture and agriculture. It is not just about being able to farm, but also about being able to think and do research!
Ordinary scholars who pursue dignity, how can they be willing to go back to farming?
You have to work hard to farm before studying, and you have to work hard to farm after studying... Then the book is just in vain? !
Most people have this mentality.
Therefore, people who are knowledgeable, interested in farming, and able to do practical work in a down-to-earth manner...are indeed very few, so much so that the deans of several other colleges have already been appointed, but the dean of this agricultural college has not yet been found. The selection is a headache.
Now that he could come across a seedling, he would naturally pay more attention to it.
"Yes, Uncle Xu."
Wu Shun'er timidly responded, her heart beating wildly.
This feeling of being recognized made her whole body tremble. If someone hadn't been in the hall now, she would have jumped up!
"Um...Okay, the last one."
Xu Fenglei turned his head away with a smile and said,
"Wu Erya."
"Is that your name?"
"Tell me, what do you want to do in the future? What do you want to be?"
His eyes fell on Wu Erya, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
A majestic martial artist, what was your childhood ambition?
To marry into the palace, become the emperor's concubine, and become the most noble woman?
Or do you just say that you want to be the king of millions of people without making any surprises?
Or...
As he thought about it, the corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth raised slightly.
It’s really exciting.
When he looked at Wu Erya, Wu Erya also raised his head, with a bit of slyness in his eyes.
