C203 To be a high official

Duke Ming Palace, Qi He was playing with Chen Xiao.

"Little fellow, tell this princess what you want to do when you grow up."

"Of course I'm an official. I'm a very, very big official." Chen Xiao replied without hesitation.

Wei He smiled coyly. "Then you still have to study properly. Otherwise, you won't be able to do it without a genuine talent."

Being a superior official was indeed enviable. However, if he couldn't be a good official, he might as well not be one.

Chen Xiao pouted. "Who said I don't have real talent? "My father has already taught me the techniques to chop firewood. After a few years, I can go to the army and kill the enemy on the battlefield. I will build a great career for the imperial government so that His Majesty will bestow upon me the title of a great general."

Chen Xiao's wish was indeed beautiful. It was so beautiful that even he felt that it could be realized, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong.

"Killing an enemy on this battlefield is different from cutting firewood with an axe." Wei He kindly reminded him.

Chen Xiao did not mind. "What's different? Isn't it all hacking and chopping?"

Chen Lin walked up to him and said, "Son, when your mother was pregnant with you, she said that you are not allowed to study martial arts and must study literature. So you have to study properly and be a civil servant in the future."

Chen Xiao was very depressed. What's so good about being a civil servant? Weak and useless.

Qi He laughed, "I think it's better to teach based on his talent. Whatever he's suitable for, I'll let him learn. Otherwise, forcing him to learn something he doesn't like would be very unfair to the child."

Because Chen Lin had been with her for a long time, he did not care about her high and mighty status. As usual, he treated her with the attitude that he usually did when he was in the silt, "The princess has never given birth to a child, so she doesn't understand her parents. My wife and I hope that he can live in peace.

"If all the parents of the world are thinking the same way, then where did the soldiers guarding my territory come from?"

Both parents had the heart to love their children, but to the common people, even more important than their own lives was their own homeland. When their country failed and their family failed, it would be useless for you to spare your life.

"Princess really knows how to argue." Chen Lin felt that he could not compare to her.

"You flatter me." Qi He held Chen Xiao's hand. "Little guy, can I take you out to play?"

There was no point in always staying in the mansion, it was also good to go out for a walk.

"If you beg me pitifully, then I will reluctantly agree, but you have to buy me nine skewers of candied fruits." Chen Xiao had learned how to negotiate.

"Fine, fine, fine. If you want me to buy all the candied fruits on the street, I'll buy them." Wei He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that a father really did have a son. This father and son duo's personalities were truly carved out of the same mold.

Chen Lin was worried and urged, "Don't listen to him. If you eat too much, you'll lose your teeth."

Qi He squatted down and pinched Chen Xiao's cheek. "Your father is so long-winded. Let's ignore him."

Chen Xiao nodded. "I agree with what you said the most."

Soon after, the young and the old man happily left the manor.

Behind him, Chen Lin could not help but shout out, "You must bring my son back safely!"

How pitiful for his parents.

Wei He didn't go back on his words and bought nine buns of candied fruits for Chen Xiao. If he couldn't finish them all, he would give them to someone else to eat.

When he was with Chen Xiao, Qi He had completely lost his identity as a princess and was now just a subordinate of the "Young Master".

This time, Chen Xiao stuffed eight candied fruits into her hands out of good intentions.

He held a stick in his hand and slowly chewed on it, enjoying it.

As he passed by the yamen, he suddenly discovered many people running towards the yamen. After asking around, he found out that the Prefect was about to be promoted to a court official to inquire about the case. They were all there to listen in.

Since Qi He thought that he had nothing to do, he decided to take a walk.

As for Chen Xiao, as long as he had food, he would be happy to eat anything, so he happily followed her.

The man being interrogated today was a neighbor who accused him of stealing.

"Bring someone to offend Zhao Qi!" Master Cheng slapped the table and spoke majestically.

Soon after, a man in prison uniform was brought in and brought to kneel on the ground with an ancient expression.

"Zhao Qi, do you know your crime?"

The man called Zhao Qi shook his head. "Sir, I was wrong. I didn't steal anything."

The plaintiff, Wang Ran, quickly spoke up, "Sir, you can't listen to him. The property in my house was stolen by him. Please let him know."

"Calm down, I will give you an explanation." Lord Cheng patiently consoled the plaintiff.

Chen Xiao knew what was going on. He asked Wei He, who was standing beside him, "Is it illegal to steal a needle from someone else's house?"

"I'm not sure about that." She scratched her head in embarrassment. "But I think it would be immoral to steal anything, even a bowl of water."

The little guy asked her how well she knew the layman, but she still tried her best to answer his questions.

"Is morality the same as law? Is the violation of morality punishable by law? " It was a very childish voice. When the surrounding people heard it, they all thought that this little boy was very adorable.

Furthermore, to be able to ask such a question, it showed that he was very smart.

Qi He thought for a moment and said, "It should be different. Sometimes, you go against morality, but you don't get caught. If you scream out loud in a quiet place, it would be immoral, but no one can send you to the government."

In order to let him understand, she even gave him an example. What a good teacher.

"Oh, oh, I understand." Chen Xiao nodded, continuing to suck on the candied fruits.

Wei He laughed with an aunt behind him. "Little girl, your little brother is really smart and cute. This little girl is so lucky. He will definitely have a bright future in the future."

Qi He patted Chen Xiao on the head. "Hur hur …"

He was very smart and cute right now, but back in the Scarlet Earths, he had more than one ghost eye. He had been tricked by him several times.

Chen Xiao turned his head and asked the aunt, "Then can I become a high-ranking official in the future?"

The aunt was stunned at first, but then nodded quickly, "Yes! Of course! With such a clever brain, wouldn't it be a pity to not become an official? "

Chen Xiao was very proud of what he had heard. He had wanted to become a general, but her dead mother hadn't allowed it. He believed himself to be a filial son, so he didn't dare disobey her mother.

"Yes, with your words, aunt, I've decided that I, Chen Xiao, will become a promising man in the future. I will become a big official, covet a lot of silver, and buy a lot of candied fruits!"

This kind of bold and unrestrained speech was heard by most people.

Lord Cheng was slightly displeased. "Who dares to roar at the court?"

"Yes …" Is that me? " Chen Xiao weakly looked left and right, looking very innocent.

The aunt who had spoken just now nodded her head helplessly, admitting this tragic fact.
