"I heard that Brother Wu is planning to go to the capital next year to take the imperial exams. He won't settle his heart to study if we don't allow him to fulfill this wish. If Benefactor Wu trusts us and can make up his mind, he might as well consider my advice."
"Brother Wu has indeed agreed to let Wu Zhongbao go. He likes to go hunting in the mountains, doesn't he? After spring starts next year, I can take Wu Zhongbao into the mountains. By that time, staying in the mountains with the hunters from Chongzi Gou for ten days or half a month, after enduring hardship, he will naturally realize the comfort of being at home."
Wang Yongzhu could see that Wu Zhongbao might not truly enjoy hunting. Perhaps it was nothing more than delayed rebellion.
If he really went to the mountains and followed the hunters around, being pampered as the prized son of the Wu Family from birth, could he endure such hardship?
