Xia Chen was a little nervous, "What's the matter? You make me nervous."
Seeing his wife's face darken, Xia Jinjun stopped keeping her in suspense. He was really afraid that she would think too much. He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Wife, I've thought about it. Your business is getting bigger and bigger in the future. I've been studying for a long time. If I didn't succeed before, I won't succeed in the future."
"Why...why didn't it work?" Xia Chenshi didn't react to what he meant for a moment.
Xia Zhiliao took a deep breath, couldn't it be what she thought.
[What is Dad going to do? Are you not going to study anymore? Are you not going to take the imperial examination? ]
Mrs. Xia admired her daughter's quick reaction and said, "Jinjun, don't you want to take the imperial examination? How can that be possible?"
Xia Jinjun smiled indifferently, "I took the exam just to make life better at home, so that you can have enough food and warm clothes, but now we have everything."
"That's different!" Xia Chen shook her head. "No, no, our family is not short of money now. Even if we are short of money, I can earn it for you. Why don't you study?"
Xia Jinjun took a deep breath. If his graduation from high school would make his wife and daughter feel uneasy, then what was the point?
It is better to nip this idea in the bud.
"I'm here to help you, isn't that nice?" Xia Jinjun said with a smile, "Besides, being an official doesn't necessarily mean you earn as much as we do business, and you have to fight among yourselves, it's too tiring."
Xia Chen still disagreed, "This is your long-cherished wish, Jinjun, tell me, did something happen? Or did you hear something from others? Don't worry about what people say outside."
Xia Jinjun took her hand and asked her to sit down. "No, how could I take those nonsense outside seriously? I really think that this book is not necessary to read now. Our family is living a good life, so this is good."
Xia Zhiliao remained silent. She couldn't understand why her father, who only wanted to become an official, would have such an idea.
"Jinjun, what's wrong with you?" Xia Chen was almost crying.
Xia Jinjun naturally couldn't tell the real reason, "I think it's enough to take care of you and the kids."
"That's impossible. Mother won't agree." said Xia Chen.
"I will talk to my mother, you don't have to worry about it. Don't worry, this is my own decision, she won't blame you."
"But..." Xia Chen was still unwilling for him to give up, "Jinjun, believe me, you will definitely be able to pass the exam."
Xia Jinjun smiled bitterly. He knew it because his youngest daughter had told him.
Everything she said came true.
But he couldn't understand why his daughter would say that he had changed his mind, when he clearly thought that he would never do so.
Rather than that, it’s better not to be that official.
[Actually, I also agree that Daddy doesn’t want to be an official.]
Xia Chen frowned, "Zhiliao, what are you standing there for? Why don't you try to persuade your father?"
Xia Zhiliao looked at his father and said, "Dad, why don't you want to be an official?"
Xia Jinjun smiled, "Because Daddy wants to protect you and Mom!"
If it were in the past, Xia Zhiliao would definitely not believe him and would have cursed him as a liar in his heart.
But at this moment, she saw the sincerity and reluctance in her father's eyes. Although she couldn't find the reason, she knew that her father still wanted to pass the exam and prove himself.
But does she really dare to gamble?
"Dad, it's great to be an official. It's impressive, and..."
Xia Jinjun knew that the little girl was testing him again. "No matter how good it is to be an official, it is not as good as guarding my daughter and her mother. The capital city is not necessarily a good place. If you ask me, it's better not to go."
Xia Zhiliao was stunned.
"Dad, grandma will definitely not agree."
"Yes, mother is looking forward to your graduation from high school!" said Xia Chen.
Xia Jinjun smiled and said, "I'll go talk to you later."
"Dad, today is New Year's Day, why don't you talk about it on another day?"
Xia Zhiliao was afraid that her grandmother would explode if she found out, and she would not be able to celebrate this happy new year.
Xia Jinjun raised his eyebrows, "Zhiliao is really thoughtful. Dad will tell her in a few days, daughter-in-law, put those books away, and I will help you later."
Xia Chen looked at him in confusion, "How can this be possible? That's a waste of talent. Mr. Xie praised your article. He has seen a lot of the world!"
"Master Xie..." Xia Jinjun smiled bitterly, "He is just a child. So what if he has seen the world? To be the top scholar depends on fate, and I don't have that fate."
"How come there isn't any?"
Xia Jinjun suddenly smiled, "Of course it is. I met a fortune teller that day, and he told me that. Okay, it's settled. Don't try to persuade me. Your problem is the most important thing in our family right now."
Xia Chen stamped her feet in anger, and for the first time she lost her temper and ignored Xia Jinjun.
The Xia family also discovered it this morning.
The second sister-in-law has always been gentle and sensible. She has never had a quarrel with the second brother in all these years since she got married. What happened today?
Xia Jinxiu also secretly asked Xia Zhiliao, "Zhiliao, tell your aunt, your father and mother had a fight? Why?"
Xia Zhiliao shook his head.
[I can’t say it. If I do, my whole family will have a bad New Year.]
When Xia Jinxiu heard this, she had to ask even more, how big a matter was this?
"Is your father being harassed by a woman outside again? Tell your aunt, and she will stand up for your mother and chop that bitch into pieces." Xia Jinxiu said angrily.
"No, little aunt, don't think too much."
[What kind of woman is this? My dad is crazy and says he won’t go to the imperial examination. This… I don’t know what’s going on. ]
"No..." Xia Jinxiu suddenly closed her mouth and swallowed the unfinished words, "Ahem...did your father offend your mother?"
"Aunt, I really don't know." Xia Zhiliao spread his hands.
[Actually, if my father hadn't taken the imperial examination and hadn't passed the imperial examination, he wouldn't have abandoned my mother, and you wouldn't have married the old emperor and been buried with him, and my uncles wouldn't have died one by one, which is also a good thing.]
Xia Jinxiu almost fainted after hearing this.
What the hell?
The imperial concubine whom she had been looking forward to for a long time was actually going to be buried with him?
Also, the whole family has to die?
Xia Jinxiu looked at Xia Zhiliao with some fear on her face. Xia Zhiliao felt a little puzzled by the look on her face. "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Jinxiu was so shocked by the news that she was speechless. She could only wave her hands, not wanting to scare the child.
She had to slow down, she really needed to slow down.
She could earn money, and a lot of it. Marrying the old emperor would give her status and position, and money to spend, but she would have to be buried with him.
What does she want?
Are you planning to become a corpse at such a young age?
It’s not cost-effective!
What the hell is that!
Xia Jinxiu took two steps, figured it out, and took a deep breath, "Zhi Liao, where is your father? Where is he?"
Xia Zhiliao thought for a moment and said, "It seems he is still in the room. What do you want to see him for, little aunt?"
"I...I'll go and ask what's going on." Xia Jinxiu said in a deep voice. She wanted to tell her second brother how correct this decision was.
