"Of course I want you to vent my anger for me." Jiang Xiaoying said.
"You... just stop causing trouble for me and wait for your wedding peacefully."
Speaking of getting married, Jiang Xiaoying thought of the man she was going to marry, and she really disliked him.
"Dad, can't you change someone else? At least he should look like..."
"Who does he look like?" asked Prime Minister Jiang.
"Even if he's from the countryside and is a scholar, he should at least be like Xia Jinjun. Look at the one you picked for me, it's a potato that has turned into a spirit."
Prime Minister Jiang frowned, "It's more important for a man to have talent and knowledge, why would he care about his looks?"
But speaking of Xia Jinjun, Prime Minister Jiang believed that he was very good at judging people, but unfortunately he didn't know why he didn't enter.
"Xia Jinjun already has a wife and children, and he is not the top scholar."
Jiang Xiaoying curled her lips, "So what if he has a wife and children? If I marry him, he would be happy for it."
But if he is not the top scorer, then it would be nonsense.
Jiang Xiaoying was still unwilling to give in. She didn't like Xia Jinjun, but she just had some impression of him. After all, even if it was Xia Jinjun, she didn't like him.
General's Mansion.
Xia Jinjun and Xia Chen thanked General Wei again. General Wei waved his hands and said, "Why are you being polite? I just said a few words."
"If it weren't for Uncle Wei, things wouldn't have been resolved so quickly." Xia Jinjun said.
"This is not all my credit." General Wei turned his gaze to Xia Zhiliao. "Zhiliao has appeared before the Queen Mother. How could the old fox Jiang not know that the Queen Mother praised Zhiliao highly? If Zhiliao did anything, the Queen Mother would not be happy."
Xia Zhiliao said cheerfully, "That was also thanks to Grandpa Wei. He made the two of them look unhappy."
"You little girl, you really know how to coax people." General Wei laughed heartily.
He had no biological son, so he naturally treated the Xia family as his own relatives. As for Xia Zhiliao, she was very likable, so he loved her even more.
"Grandpa Wei, we won't bother you anymore. My grandma must be bored today."
Xia Chen looked at her daughter with a smile. This little girl was involved in everything.
General Wei laughed, "I see. I'll go talk to your grandma right away."
Xia Zhiliao happily went out holding his parents' hands.
And she, of course, would not act as a light bulb for her parents, so she found an opportunity to say that she was going to take a look around the General's Mansion. It was such a big place, but she had been there for several days but still didn't understand it all.
In the room, the couple smiled at each other.
Xia Chen's knot had been untied. Actually, it wasn't really a knot. "Jinjun, I think you should come to the next imperial examination!"
Xia Jinjun glanced at Xia Chenshi, a little surprised, "Didn't we agree on this? What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xiaoying was already married, and Xia Jinxiu was not favored by the emperor to enter the palace as a concubine.
Although Xia Chen didn't know how she changed, since she had changed, the things that the little girl mentioned had been avoided and would not happen again.
"Nothing, I just think... I hope you can give me an explanation. Many things are different now!"
Xia Jinjun didn't know what she meant by different, but it was indeed different.
"Yes, but...it will take another three years. We'll talk about it later."
Xia Chen nodded, "I always feel that you can be a good official."
"Me? A good official?" Xia Jinjun thought of what his little girl said about himself, saying that he would be corrupt after becoming an official, would not care about the lives of ordinary people, and would die miserably.
He really became an official, so in order to avoid the things she described from happening, he had to be extra careful.
"Yes, being a bad official will lead to a miserable death. Our good life is hard-earned. Are you willing to give it up?"
Xia Jinjun didn't even think twice and put his arm around her shoulders. "I can't bear to leave you and the children. I have to stay alive to protect you."
Xia Chen smiled and said that as long as she worked hard, her life would be different.
She believed her little girl's words more and more.
Just the day before General Wei was planning to host a banquet for his old friends, Xia Zhiliao was called into the palace again.
Old Madam Xia wanted to have Xia Chen accompany her, but the eunuch who announced the decree said, "Old Madam, Miss Xia is smart and clever, and it's not her first time in the palace. Is there anything else you are worried about?"
Although Old Lady Xia had not seen much of the world, she was not stupid and immediately understood what he meant. "Father-in-law, you are joking. I am at ease leaving her to you."
"Don't worry, Miss Xia, come with us!"
Xia Zhiliao patted his grandmother's hand and said, "It's okay. Maybe I can get some rewards back."
I got a lot of money back last time.
Fortunately, she spoke in a low voice, otherwise Mrs. Xia would have been worried about being laughed at.
No matter what anyone said, Grandma Xia was still worried about her little granddaughter entering the palace alone. Not only did she give a big ingot to her father-in-law, she also gave some to Xia Zhiliao, and told her not to be stingy with the money, and to use the money to bribe anyone who could help.
Xia Zhiliao thought to herself that it was not necessary. She had really offended someone and the problem there could not be solved with money.
But she still accepted her grandmother's kindness.
Since it was not the first time that the father-in-law met Xia Zhiliao, and the child was likable and he had received a lot of money from her, he chatted with her for a few words on the way.
"Eunuch, is the Queen Mother in good health?"
"I'm fine!"
Xia Zhiliao smiled, "Then I feel relieved."
The father-in-law looked at her and praised her in his heart. How could she be a country girl? She was clearly calmer than those rich girls.
Look at this statement, it's flawless.
The question was also comfortable to hear. Instead of asking directly whether the Queen Mother was sick, he said he was relieved.
Even kids in their teens aren't that smart.
"Then do you know why you asked me to go there?" Xia Zhiliao also realized that this father-in-law was quite easy to talk to, so she might as well ask more about it.
“We don’t know about this.”
He is just a slave, how could he know so much?
Xia Zhiliao nodded, did not make things difficult for him, and gave him the silver he had in his arms.
"Oh, I dare not take it again. The old lady has already given it."
"You can give it again if you have given it before." Xia Zhiliao said.
It is better to make close friends with one person than to cast a wide net and catch more fish.
"Is this what the old lady asked you to give to someone else?"
Xia Zhi shook her head and said, "Grandma said to give it to anyone who can help me. I think you, father-in-law, can help me. So I'll give it to you. Please be kind to me."
Originally, the young eunuch didn't say how good he was to Xia Zhiliao, he just treated her normally, neither too close nor too distant. But when the little girl said that, his heart almost melted.
"My dear Miss Xia, you are... you are... you are... what can I say?"
"No need to say anything, eunuch, when we enter the palace later, just help me."
"Help, I have to help. If I don't help, I have to find someone to help me."
"Looking for someone?" Xia Zhiliao was stunned. "Who are you looking for?"
"My master, my master is Su Dequan, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor."
Xia Zhiliao suddenly realized that her luck was really unmatched.
That’s great!
