Chen Meier opened her eyes wide, “Dad is so powerful, he knows more than the adults in Si Ye Mansion! The Night Traveler also said that those children who are not picked up by their parents are the children of winnowing, and they will always look like that in the future. It’s a symbol of being chosen.”
Chen Nong was awakened by his daughter’s innocent words. When his mind regained its clarity, he recalled what he had just said. He almost found a hole to crawl into – he actually said the unsavory content he had written yesterday.
Seeing the expression of admiration and trust on his daughter’s face, Chen Nong was speechless.
Mrs. Chen sighed: “In this way, those children are not the cause of the disaster, but the blessing after the disaster.”
Chen Nong looked up in astonishment, “How could you believe it?” This kind of made-up story.
Mrs. Chen said: “Why don’t you believe it? Didn’t you also say that they are the embodiment of kindness. Our Mei’er is kind and cute, and we are reluctant to let her go and let her become a fairy child before she is sent back.”
She hugged Chen Meier and gave Chen Nong a wink.
Chen Nong understood.
This story is the best truth for both children and parents.
After the meal, Mrs. Chen asked Chen Nong what he did in Siye Mansion yesterday. Chen Nong hesitated and concealed the past. Mrs. Chen saw that his face was really bad, so she was considerate and did not continue to ask.
“You can rest at home today.” Mrs. Chen said.
Chen Nong shook his head, “I still have to go to Moxiang Pavilion to see if construction has started. I don’t have enough money left at home.”
Mrs. Chen said distressedly: “It’s not more than a day or two.”
Chen Nong still smiled and shook his head. What if I miss these two days and don’t need him as a scribe?
At this time, Chen Meier jumped out and said, “Dad, Siye Mansion is looking for literati!”
Mrs. Chen’s eyes lit up and she didn’t notice that Chen Nong’s face stiffened.
Mrs. Chen asked her daughter, “What’s going on?”
Chen Meier said: “I heard from those rich young men that everyone is trying to get in. If dad is so powerful, he can definitely do it.”
Chen Nong, who was looked at by his daughter with adoring eyes, couldn’t express what was in his heart: No, daddy is not that powerful!
Mrs. Chen also looked forward to it and said: “My husband is so knowledgeable, why not give it a try.”
If you are really knowledgeable, you will never fail the exam. Chen Nong shook his head, thinking about how to refuse.
Dong dong dong——
There was a knock on the door.
Accompanied by a voice: “Is Mr. Chen at home? A disciple of Si Ye Mansion is here to visit.”
