Chapter 658 Don’t Force Others
The young man blushed at the sincere praise from the little kid, "I was just bored and did it for fun."
Xinbao said: "You are so good at playing! You must be a super smart person!!"
Xiang Xiaojun laughed. He avoided the little kid's gaze, stood up, walked over there, and brought over a wooden man half a person's height. He said to her, "This is a little fun. Let me show you."
As he spoke, he put the teapot in the little man's hands, drank a few sips of tea, and put the teacup on the small table in front of him. The little man then picked up the teapot with both hands and poured tea into it.
Xinbao's eyes lit up: "Wow!!"
She asked, "Can you make a melon seed cracking machine? Xinbao has always wanted a melon seed cracking machine!"
Xiang Xiaojun was puzzled: "Cracking melon seeds?"
"Yes!" Xinbao remembered that melon seeds were not popular yet, so he subconsciously wanted to grab a handful of melon seeds from the space. Then he came to his senses halfway and turned around, pretending to take out a handful of melon seeds from his wife's sleeve pocket. He put them on the table and said, "I'll crack them for you to see. Just bite them like this, and the kernel is inside."
She showed it to him and said, "You eat it too, it's delicious, this is Xinbao's favorite flavor!! It's sweet and salty, do you like salty food?"
She turned around again, and this time she scooped up a handful of five-spice flavored food with her two little hands and placed them on the table: "Can I?"
Xiang Xiaojun tried biting it, then pinching it, and said, "It should be okay."
"Wow!" Tuanzi said excitedly: "You are awesome! You are much better than Zhuge Liang! Zhuge Liang only knew how to make a wooden ox and a flowing horse, but you can do so many things! You can even make a machine for eating melon seeds!!"
Xiang Xiaojun laughed repeatedly and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
Xinbao asked, "So what else did you do?"
Xiang Xiaojun said embarrassedly: "They are just some stuff."
Hao Huashi said: "Don't be so modest, these things look very strange to us. What is that?"
He pointed at a little man about a foot tall placed on the desk and smiled at Xiaojun, "That's for grinding ink."
Hao Huashi stood up, took the inkstone next to him and put it on the table. Sure enough, the little man started grinding the ink.
Xiang Xiaojun smiled and said, "It's a bit stupid. You can't feel whether you add water or not. You just keep grinding when you put the inkstone on it."
"Interesting," Hao Huashi said again: "What is this?"
Xiang Xiaojun said: "This is not ready yet, there is a field at the back that can be used for plowing."
A few people went out to take a look, and they saw a huge wooden man like a giant spirit. Xiang Xiaojun demonstrated to them with great interest. He hung a hoe on the man, and the big wooden man started digging the ground, one by one, with great force. With each digging, he dug a big hole, and mud splashed everywhere.
Xinbao was curious and wanted to take a look, but ended up getting covered in dirt. He was so scared that he was about to run back, but the wooden man turned around and followed him with a hum. Tuanzi was so scared that he kept shouting, "Wife, wife!!"
Yuan Shenjue jumped over and hugged her. Hao Huashi laughed, and Xiang Xiaojun also laughed out loud. As a result, several people were happily watching the wooden man digging the ground when they heard someone say, "Xiaojun!!"
A man strode in, it was Xiang Xiaodong.
He glanced at the few people and saluted quickly: "Your Highness, I am Xiang Xiaodong. I greet you."
Xinbao glanced at the wooden man and patted his chest: "No need to be polite."
Xiang Xiaodong stood up and bowed again: "Duke, Lord Hao."
Yuan Shenjue held Xinbao in his arms and just nodded. Hao Huashi smiled and returned the greeting, while asking, "How do you stop this?"
Xiang Xiaojun smiled and said, "There is a gourd hanging on his waist. Do you see it? Just pull it."
Hao Huashi jumped over and pulled, and the wooden man stopped moving immediately.
Hao Huashi laughed and said, "Great, really fun. I want one too. I don't have to dig the ground, I can just make a big gate. When someone comes over, I'll just bang over, bend over, and clench my fist... I guarantee it'll scare them to death."
Here, Xiang Xiaodong said in a deep voice: "How come Your Highness has time to come to my brother's place?"
Xinbao said, "Because we saw the waterwheel at the door and thought it was amazing, so we wanted to come and take a look."
Xiang Xiaodong said: "My brother is young and has little knowledge. I am afraid that I have offended Your Highness. Would you mind sending Your Highness back to the palace?"
When these words came out, several people couldn't help but frown.
No matter whether it was Xiang Xiaodong or the old servant, they all felt really nervous. Seeing anyone was like facing a great enemy, as if they wanted to isolate Xiang Xiaojun from everyone else.
But Xiang Xiaojun himself is obviously very gentle and calm, and does not seem to be afraid of getting along with others.
Tuanzi said, "No, he is not narrow-minded, he is super powerful! Xinbao and him hit it off right away, and they felt sorry for not meeting each other earlier... He also promised to be a little wooden man peeling melon seeds for Xinbao. Xinbao will not return to the palace now."
Xiang Xiaodong was scolded.
Xiang Xiaojun said: "Everyone, let's go back and have some tea first."
Several people were about to go back. Xiang Xiaodong reached out his hand, wanting to help his brother. Xiang Xiaojun seemed a little helpless, but still did not refuse.
After entering the hall, Xinbao followed Yuan Shenjue and sat on the chairs. Xiang Xiaodong quickly sat down on the small stool and said, "I am used to sitting here. I am sorry for the rudeness."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
He still bowed to Xiang Xiaojun and sat down calmly.
Xinbao drank half a cup of tea, got down from the chair, put it in front of the tea pourer, asked him to pour the tea, and then took it back happily.
Xiang Xiaodong said again: "It's almost time for lunch. How about I take you to a very delicious restaurant to try some food?"
Tuanzi shook his head: "No!"
Xiang Xiaodong was anxious and helpless, and glanced at his brother.
Xinbao suddenly thought of something, walked up to Xiang Xiaojun, and smiled: "Xinbao has a medical department, do you want to come here to work?"
Xiang Xiaojun smiled and bent down, looking at her: "What kind of job can I do?"
Xinbao said, "It's about making a waterwheel or something like that, something that's powered by water."
Xiang Xiaojun's eyes lit up: "Oh?"
Hao Huashi also said: "Don't mention it, it really works! Come or not!"
"Your Highness!" Xiang Xiaodong said anxiously, "My brother is inconvenienced."
Tuanzi was also anxious. What's wrong with this person? ?
She ran over and pushed his face, trying to get him to turn over there.
As a result, Xiang Xiaodong looked at her without moving. Xinbao pushed him twice but he still didn't move. In the eyes of others, it seemed that she came over and kept touching his face for no reason? ?
Yuan Shenjue frowned: "Heart treasure?"
Xinbao couldn't push him, so he could only stretch out a little finger and guide it along his eyes, "Look! Turn your head! Look at your brother, he wants to go! He obviously wants to go!!"
Xiang Xiaodong finally turned his head and took a look.
Tuanzi breathed a sigh of relief.
She no longer felt like a big brother to him, he was too dumb…and his head was too big to be pushed.
Xiang Xiaodong looked at his brother, and Xiang Xiaojun also looked at him. Their eyes only met briefly, and Xiang Xiaodong quickly retracted his gaze and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, please don't force me."
Tuanzi was so angry: "Don't you know how to be a brother? Xinbao, teach you!! You can't do this, you have to learn to respect other people's opinions!! Your brother obviously has his own ideas, why do you have to make decisions for him? Can you learn from Xinbao?? Just like the second brother is so weak, but he still wants to go out every day. Xinbao is so worried that he can't eat or sleep well, but he still has to watch him go out?"
Xiang Xiaodong: “……???”
