Chapter 282 The Problems Left by the Four Langs
Chapter 282 The Problems Left by the Four Langs
Seeing that Lin Yue and the others had gone far away, the villagers asked the two boys.
"What are these four guys whispering to you? How come you suddenly become happy?"
Simao's face was filled with longing.
"Da Lang asked us if we were willing to follow them and asked us to discuss it with our families. If they were willing, we could go to the southwest to find them and study and practice martial arts with them!"
what?
Is there such a good thing?
The old patriarch and the village chief looked at each other and became happy.
"What did you say? Just the two of you?"
Erqing also said excitedly, "Of course not, Erlang and I get along well, I want to follow Erlang! I want to follow Erlang!"
Liu Zhenzhu immediately slapped him, "What are you talking about? You're acting like a little wife!"
However, she was also very happy that Erqing and Erlang got along well, and she would be willing to be Erlang's wife!
Ye Chunwang immediately understood.
"Generally, wealthy families would choose some children from their clan to be study companions with the young masters. They would train them from a young age so that they would be loyal and reliable in the future. I think this matter has been approved by the prince. He must have seen that the four young men were reluctant to leave their friends, so he specially gave some care to the children of our Yejia Village. Anyone who has this ability and can stay with the four young men will most likely leave the peasants like us and at least become a member of the prince's palace!"
In a small sense, this is an opportunity for children to become successful; in a big sense, it is the beginning of changing their destiny.
"Yeah!"
Erqing and Simao nodded repeatedly. They were so happy that they didn't convey the meaning clearly. After hearing what Ye Chunwang said, they realized that it was the same as what Dalang said, and nodded like chicks pecking at rice!
When the villagers saw this, they knew that the two kids were probably too excited!
The old patriarch and the village chief looked at each other and felt that Ye Chunwang was absolutely right, and they were both slightly excited.
"Did they say how many people they would choose?"
"At least four, right?"
The two kids looked at each other and said that, anyway, those who got along well with the four boys must go, and as for the others, it depends on the situation.
Who in the village wouldn't be happy to be able to study and practice martial arts with four young men? He will definitely have a bright future!
"But, once I enter the palace, do I become a servant?"
He still retained some rationality and did not think that entering the palace was a good thing.
Ye Chunwang thought for a moment, "It depends on the children. I don't think the prince will allow this. But if they are willing to follow the four men and have the ability to stay, they must have been tested. They are not just serving, but we must also take this factor into consideration. If they really don't want to, we won't force them!"
Ye Chunwang said this after considering everything. If some people really wanted to stay in the mansion as slaves, it would be hard to say. He didn't want to be too definite, so he left some room. After all, these were just guesses based on what he knew.
Everyone in the village understood that if they wanted to succeed, this factor was secondary. If their children were capable, the master would not let them become slaves! If they were not capable, they would not necessarily be able to stay in the palace even if they became slaves.
Some people who figured it out immediately consulted the village chief and the old patriarch about how many people they could choose.
Erqing and Simao immediately called a few of their good friends to plot together!
The village chief and the old patriarch were really undecided about this matter, so they asked Ye Chunwang again.
"Chunwang, tell me, how many study companions do the children of these wealthy families usually have?"
Ye Chunwang thought for a moment and said, "I think we should pick some out for the four Langs to choose from? At least two people are needed for each of them, especially for the four Langs. They are the young masters of the Southwest Prince's Palace, and the people around them must be trustworthy. If they grew up together, they will definitely be more handy to use. However, even if the people we send over have learned skills, they will still need to be tested by the prince before they can be kept by the four Langs. And they will work according to their own abilities!"
"For example, there are carriage drivers, guards responsible for safety, and servants. In a palace like the royal palace, there should also be secret guards and stewards! These are all determined by each person's characteristics, so it's hard to say!"
"The four men asked the children to come back and discuss this with us. I think everyone should think carefully before making a decision. After all, once someone is sent away, the children should be allowed to make their own decisions as much as possible. The adults should be mentally prepared. In the future, if they want to ask them to come back for family matters, it will be bad and will hurt the relationship!"
"In short, if you want the children to succeed with the four men, you must be prepared to be separated from them!"
"But I also need to remind everyone of some ugly things. We can't trouble and rely on Ah Yue for everything just because we have this relationship with her. Even if we send the children over to live with the four men in the future, we can't cause trouble for them! One moment we worry about the children suffering, and the next moment we worry about this and that!"
Ye Chunwang's words gave the villagers confidence, but also poured cold water on their enthusiasm.
Some people figured it out pretty quickly!
For example, Liu Zhenzhu and Liu Changgen.
"If Erqing could follow Erlang, I wouldn't worry! Maybe he could become a general or some other high-ranking official in the future. If he works hard, he could even bring honor to the Liu family's ancestors!"
"Haha! Changgen, if you're not afraid of Erqing, you can only be a rickshaw driver?"
Liu Changgen glared, "What's there to be afraid of being a rickshaw driver? Not everyone can be the rickshaw driver of the Second Young Master of the Southwest Prince's Palace. Look at those rickshaw drivers who are officials, which one of them is not more powerful than us ordinary people? It's okay if you are a good rickshaw driver!"
"If Erzhuang learns some good skills, even if he sacrifices his life for Erlang in the future, it will be worth it!"
This mentality is amazing!
This sentence also successfully reminded everyone that separation is a small matter, and it may even cost your life! After all, if you join the army, the battlefield is full of swords and guns!
Qin Shu also said something to remind everyone not to act impulsively and regret it later.
"Like the young master from Madam Yun's family who was saved by Ah Yue last time and lives in our village, he has several study companions in his mansion who grew up with him. Rich families have many rules. Although children have fun playing together, there is no order without rules. Guards and secret guards have to receive training from a young age, which is very hard!"
Liu Changgen understood what Qin Shu meant. He did not think that Qin Shu was exaggerating, but rather that he was being too tactful.
"What's there to be afraid of? If our Erqing could learn a bunch of skills, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams!"
Everyone felt that Liu Changgen's words were reasonable, because they had a relationship with Lin Yue, otherwise it would really be as Liu Changgen said!
Unconsciously, they have elevated their status. This realization makes them feel ashamed and they can't help but reflect on themselves. They must keep their original intentions and never get carried away! Forget their original identity!
The old patriarch and the village chief had also heard almost everything.
"It's better for each family to go back and discuss this matter first, see if their children are willing, and then register them. The village will screen them first."
The old patriarch thought clearly that the child sent to live with the four men had to be able to endure hardships and be smart and sensible. Otherwise, he would rather not send him there than cause trouble for the four men.
He knew that the people around the master of a wealthy family were very important, and people who were causing trouble all day long were absolutely unacceptable!
