The life of a peasant girl reborn

171 Chapter 3 - I'll be ready to move ([-])
"Well, I'll take some time this afternoon to talk to Uncle and the others." Shen Xuan set the time.

Brother Chun and Brother Xia left together after hearing Shen Xuan's reply, only waiting for Shen Xuan's reply.

Before going to Uncle Shen and the others, Shen Xuan inquired about the attitudes of the two of them from Zhou and the others.In the afternoon around Shen time.Shen Xuan was mentally prepared, and then walked to the residence of Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen.

Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen were sitting in the room discussing Brother Chun's future with each other when they heard Shen Xuan's voice.After the two cleaned up the expressions on their faces, they quickly opened the door.Let Shen Xuan go in.

Naturally, Shen Xuan could see the uneasiness on the faces of the two, so she didn't say much, and entered the room with a smile.

"Uncle. Uncle, I was entrusted by my elder brother." Shen Xuan put down the teacup.She was the first to break the silence, after much deliberation, Shen Xuan finally decided to tell the truth.

"Xiaoxuan also knows, hey, what a crime!" Aunt Shen sighed.It was hard for his son to be admitted as a scholar, and he was about to make further progress in two years, but he didn't expect that something went wrong now.It would be fine if he dropped out of school because the family didn't have enough money, but it was more than enough for the family to support three children.If he doesn't study, what will happen to the eldest son's future?You can't go home and farm.Aunt Shen felt bitter when she thought of these things.sad.

"Brother asked me to come and talk about his thoughts with uncles." Shen Xuan continued to speak after looking at Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen.

"Why didn't your elder brother tell you?" Uncle Shen was very dissatisfied with Brother Chun's point.It's really getting more and more crooked. If you don't solve your own affairs by yourself, but let Xiaoxuan, who is his younger sister, talk about it, this is really capable, Uncle Shen thought so.

"Hey, brother really wanted to come and say it in person, but he was afraid that he would quarrel with you, uncle, and then we would break up unhappy and make you angry." Shen Xuan sighed.

"What exactly is your elder brother thinking, Xiaoxuan, please tell us well today." Uncle Shen asked weakly after listening to Shen Xuan's words.After the child grows up, he has his own ideas, but the father and the mother can understand their ideas through others. I have to say that the generation gap is too big, and the hearts of the two elders can't accept it.

"The eldest brother and the second brother don't want to study, not because of other things, but because they have a better way out." Shen Xuan said.

"A better way out?" Aunt Shen asked suspiciously.

"What way out, your elder brother never told us?" Uncle Shen asked in his voice.

"The eldest brother wants to be a soldier. Enter the barracks, and the second brother likes medical skills." Shen Xuan calmly stated the path the two wanted to take.

"What? Be a soldier, how can you go to be a soldier?" Aunt Shen felt like the sky was falling when she heard Brother Chun's idea of ​​going to be a soldier. Aunt Shen burst into tears when she thought of something.

"Your brother and the others really think so, have you decided?" Uncle Shen asked confirmingly.Although Shen Xuan's words were beyond his expectation, as a man.As the head of the family, Uncle Shen was still able to control his emotions at this time and did not lose control.

"En." Shen Xuan nodded affirmatively at Uncle Shen.

"Why does this child have such thoughts?" Uncle Shen broke the string in his heart when he saw Shen Xuan's nod. He sat on the chair and muttered, not knowing whether he was asking Shen Xuan or himself. .

"Uncle and auntie, I know you are feeling uncomfortable now, but I still want to say these words, it's up to you whether you listen or not." Shen Xuan decided to cut the mess quickly.

"I agree with the idea of ​​the eldest brother and the second brother." Shen Xuan continued to speak after receiving the questioning eyes of the two, "I agree with their idea of ​​dropping out of school. As for the eldest brother going to be a soldier. The matter of the second brother going to the pharmacy, uncle Your family must be discussing it."

"Why?" Uncle Shen asked.Things from childhood to adulthood made them understand that what Shen Xuan said and did must have her reasons and it was a good decision for the Shen family, so after hearing Shen Xuan's words of agreeing with Brother Chun to drop out of school, Uncle Shen also agreed. Instead of getting angry, ask why.

"Second brother is shy. He has a kind heart and is not good at words. These characteristics make him unsuitable for the officialdom. Although there is no one in our Shen family who is an official, we know from hearsay that the officialdom is not good. The situation of mutual framing happens from time to time, and the temper of the second brother really can't adapt to the darkness of the officialdom. The second brother likes to play with herbs since he was a child. He likes medical skills, wouldn't it be good to let him choose the path he likes?"

Looking at the silence of Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen.After thinking about it, Shen Xuan continued, "Our Shen family is not ten years ago. The family has a lot of money, but it can be regarded as the family of a small wealthy businessman. Now there is no need for the eldest brother and the others to study and become officials to improve the status of the Shen family."

"Eldest brother is also good at studying. If he takes the imperial examination two years later, he can pass high school. However, elder brother is more stable, not as flexible as elder brother and fourth elder brother. The flexibility is poor. Such a person wants to be a Officials are generally fixed in one place. There are few opportunities for promotion, and the things they are responsible for are generally unimportant and do not have much real power. If the eldest brother goes to serve as a soldier, I believe he can create a new era with his own martial arts and talents. Fan Mingtang. Soldiers are different from officials, there are not so many twists and turns, and generals want subordinates like elder brother, who are stable and hardworking, and not so fancy." After Shen Xuan finished speaking Only then did I realize that I had said too much, and I wondered if Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen could understand.Think thoroughly.

"But it's not so easy to be a soldier. What if there is something good or bad." Aunt Shen mentioned hesitantly, thinking of Brother Chun's troubles in the future, she felt uncomfortable.

"Uncle, both officials and soldiers are dangerous, but one is invisible and the other is visible. Officials are framed to death, and some are demoted. They are demoted to civilians. There are also many people who ransacked their homes and exiled; There is no danger in swords and swords, and my elder brother has martial arts. It is not those who are unarmed, there is not much war now, I think my elder brother can protect my own safety." Shen Xuan simply compared the difference between being an official and being a soldier. .

"Uncle, aunt, elder brother, they have grown up, they have their own ideas, it is impossible to stay by their parents' side for a lifetime. Good men have ambitions everywhere, and after reading books for so many years, elder brother and the others are already able to understand things. I Think they are all responsible for their choices. No matter what happens in the future, as long as they don’t regret it, why do you want to stop them? If it’s really because of worry. Worried about something that is not sure whether it will happen in the future, keep them around , Let them do nothing for a lifetime, I don't think any parent is willing to do this?" Shen Xuan analyzed.
