Chapter 322 I’m counting on you to become a high-ranking official and earn me an imperial decree!
Chen Tong scolded Zhou Lihua: "How can being good at embroidery be useless? Although Master Yin Shuang is my second sister-in-law's servant, she was trained in the palace."
"Given my second sister-in-law's personality, she will definitely not treat her unfairly and will definitely help her find a good family in the future."
"If Xiao He really learns her skills, maybe she can open an embroidery workshop in the future. Isn't that better than knowing nothing at all?"
Chen Qinghe's eyes lit up immediately: "Dad, can I really open an embroidery workshop in the future?"
Wouldn't she then have a lot of beautiful clothes to wear?
Zhou Lihua also had an idea. If that was true, it seemed not bad.
Chen Tong smiled and encouraged: "As long as you can learn Master Yin Shuang's skills, Dad will support you in opening an embroidery workshop."
"Dad, you said that!"
Chen Qinghe suddenly became full of energy. She liked embroidery and she felt that she could learn it well.
"Dad, then I don't need to learn to read and write?"
She asked again hurriedly.
"Of course you have to continue studying and learning to read." Chen Tong was a little speechless: "If you can't even read, how can you open an embroidery shop? Not only do you have to be able to read, you also have to learn to read account books, otherwise you won't even know if you've been cheated."
"Why is this happening..."
Chen Qinghe wilted again, and everyone laughed out loud.
"Dad, I don't want to study either. I'm so bored."
Another voice said dissatisfiedly, it was Chen Xiaobao, now also called Chen Qingming.
If Chen Qinghe had difficulty in studying, then he was simply listening to a foreign language.
He sleeps as soon as class starts, but slacks off more than anyone else after class. He is like a vicious little bully in the academy.
There was nothing he dared not do, including playing with cats and dogs, damaging public property, bullying students, and even adding something to the teacher's teacup.
The teachers were all troubled, but they couldn't do anything because he was Chen Tong's son and had Xiao Ying as his aunt.
If it were someone else, they would have been kicked out long ago.
Unexpectedly, this time, before Chen Tong could speak, Zhou Lihua exploded and slapped Chen Qingming on the head.
"What did you say? You don't want to study!"
Zhou Lihua screamed immediately, put her hands on her hips, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and she was furious.
"mother……"
Chen Qingming looked at Zhou Lihua in disbelief. His mother actually hit him?
He pouted and was about to throw a tantrum, but was stopped in his tracks by Zhou Lihua's angry roar.
"Chen Xiaobao, how dare you not study! I'm counting on you to pass the imperial examination, become a high-ranking official, and earn an imperial decree for me in the future!"
"Try me if you dare to say you don't want to study again?!"
"If Xiao Ying can be an imperial concubine, why can't I? Do you want me to be inferior to her for the rest of my life?!"
The Chen-Zhang couple, Chen Tong and others, who originally thought that she had changed her gender, were all speechless. They knew that they could not have any expectations of her. They did not expect that she actually had such thoughts.
Just because she doesn't want to be outdone, she wants her son to study hard and become an official to earn her an imperial title?
Chen Zhang's mouth twitched, and she didn't know what to say to her.
It was Chen Qingming who reacted and burst into tears after being scolded, but he did not give in.
"But I just don't want to study! Mom, if you want to earn an imperial title, go earn it yourself like Second Aunt did!"
"You are not as good as Second Aunt. If you can't earn an imperial decree, then place your hopes on me."
"But I'm not cut out for studying. I'll never be able to pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in this lifetime, let alone earn you an imperial decree!"
“Bang!”
A crisp sound.
Zhou Lihua slapped him angrily, her eyes turned red and tears began to fall.
"You, what did you say... How dare you say that to me..."
Zhou Lihua was angry and aggrieved, her lips trembling slightly. She couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of her most beloved Chen Xiaobao.
She is not as good as Xiao Ying, so she places all her hopes on her son.
Since he was a child, I have given him the best food and clothes and never treated him unfairly, hoping that he would be able to make a name for himself one day.
But I didn't expect to get such a result.
"Mom, you actually hit me! You don't love me anymore... Wuuuuu... You are a bad person... You are not my mother..."
Chen Qingming's cheeks suddenly swelled up, and he felt very aggrieved. He ran out crying.
"Xiaobao..."
Zhou Lihua felt a pain in her heart and wanted to pull him but failed. She almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Chen Tong supported her.
Chen Tong shouted angrily, "Chen Qingming, stop right there! How dare you talk to your mother like that? Come back here and apologize!"
Chen Qingming ignored him and ran back to his room.
Zhou Lihua broke down and cried. Chen Afu and others looked at each other and then sighed.
"Third brother, help your wife go back and rest first."
Chen Afu spoke up and said that the reason for this incident was that Zhou Lihua had never seen her son's true character clearly and was too arrogant.
Chen Qingming is self-aware and knows that he is not cut out for studying.
However, Chen Qinglian likes reading and has talent. She might become a female teacher in the future.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry."
Chen Tong looked exhausted as he helped Zhou Lihua out first. Sisters Chen Qinghe and Chen Qinglian quickly followed.
After they left, the room felt much emptier, and the eldest family finally spoke.
"Third sister-in-law is so confused. Why does she have to compare with second sister-in-law when there are so many people to compare with? Is there any way she can be compared with her?"
Liu Lan shook her head speechlessly.
Zhou Lihua still hasn't seen the truth clearly. Her second brother's wife is a golden fish, not something that can be kept in a pond.
Not to mention that her biological father is the Marquis of Zhenyuan, just look at her own abilities. She earned a seventh-rank imperial edict in a short period of time. I heard that she is the only one in the entire Yue Kingdom.
Chen Jin nodded. Although he was not good at speaking, he knew it very well in his mind.
He didn't have such a dream. He thought it would be good if his two sons could learn some skills and live a good life in the future.
Chen Daniu, now called Chen Jinyong, although he doesn't like studying, he studies very hard.
Moreover, because he has been very strong since he was young, he is actually a good candidate for martial arts. Even though it is too late to learn martial arts at this age, he is also the one who makes the fastest progress in the martial arts school.
Once he has learned a set of skills, he can make a living by helping his second aunt run the business or escorting a bodyguard.
Chen Erniu, now called Chen Shaocong, is a smart kid who is very capable.
He made rapid progress in his studies, but he was not interested in this and preferred medicine. Now he had been formally accepted as a disciple by Chang Qinglin, and his future would not be bad.
Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Chen Jin are very satisfied with their two sons and do not ask for too much.
"Okay, no one should worry about these things anymore."
Chen Zhang broke the silence, stood up and began to clear the things on the table.
"With our current status, we can't use these. I'm saving them for you. I'll share them with you when you become successful."
Liu Lan smiled and said, "I'm not thinking about it. We are using these now just like toads inlaid with gold."
"You're the only one who can say that."
Chen Zhang cursed with a smile, but she was quite worried in her heart.
"You said the second son's wife is so powerful, and she's the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. Will she marry again in the future?"
They simply cannot retain such an identity.
