However, before Xu Chen could say anything, Xiao Wu spoke.
"Father, if I can't marry Brother Chen, I'll just die. Life is only a few decades. If I can't live happily, I'll be no different from a walking corpse.”
Little Wu's face was filled with despair, and his voice was filled with grief. It was as if he really didn't care about life and death and didn't want to live anymore.
"You! Little girl, what are you doing!"
Wu Shi Yao was anxious and angry, pulling Xiao Wu's hand and repeatedly persuading him.
He originally wanted to defeat Xu Chen, but he did not expect that his own backyard would be the first to catch fire!
This girl was too old to be kept. What he said was really accurate. Little Wu was only eleven or twelve years old and already knew how to side with outsiders. If he was two years older, wouldn't he be able to abandon his father for his husband?
When he thought of this, he felt helpless.
"Daddy, I understand. Little Wu won't make things difficult for you.”
Xiao Wu wiped the tears off her face and said. She tugged at Wu Shi Huan's hand and walked out without looking back.
At this moment, Wu Shi Yao was completely flustered. He hurriedly pulled his daughter back into the house. He glanced at Xu Chen, then at Little Wu, and then at Xu Chen. He gritted his teeth and stomped his foot…
"Alright! I only said that I don't agree now, but I didn't say that I won't agree forever. Why are you looking for death?”
Wu Shi Yao was unhappy. He drank the tea on the table in one gulp and then calmed down a little. He looked like Xu Chen and snorted coldly,
"I don't want to be a bad person. I won't break up a couple! But you have to think about yourself properly, kid!”
" At the very least, I don't want my daughter to be a village woman and live a hard life with you. Now that His Majesty is recruiting talents, if you are really talented, go and accept the call. Show your talent and you will naturally become an official. Even if you only become a seventh-grade county magistrate in the end, I will just pinch my nose and accept it. The wife of a county magistrate is better than a village woman, understand?”
His meaning was very obvious. He had made a concession. As long as Xu Chen could become an official, even if it was a county magistrate, as long as he could make him look good and Xiao Wu could live a good life, he would not stop him.
Such a request could not be any lower. It was already the bottom line that the warriors of the noble class could accept.
However, to the ordinary villagers, the county magistrate was also a master, a piece of blue sky, an existence that was looked up to.
If an ordinary person wanted to become a county magistrate, they would probably have to pass the imperial examination to become a scholar, a scholar, and finally a scholar before they had the confidence to become a county magistrate!
This probability was much lower and much more difficult than a doctor from a rural primary school in the 21st century!
However, Xu Chen just smiled and didn't say anything.
It might be difficult for others to become a county magistrate, but for him, becoming a marquis and minister was as easy as flipping his hand!
If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't like the atmosphere in the circle of officials and nobles, he would have become the dazzling Marquis on the day of the Black Tortoise Sect's coup. He would have recognized Li Shimin and even become the Crown Prince!
However, after interacting with Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin, he found that the atmosphere in the early Tang Dynasty was not bad. The aristocratic circle was not as rotten as he had imagined.
Moreover, if he wanted to benefit the people, he had to enter the decision-making level of the Great Tang!
Thinking of this, Xu Chen's heart actually loosened a little, but he was not in a hurry.
He wouldn't deliberately pursue her. Perhaps it would be better if everything went smoothly…
"What, you're not talking? Did he not want to say it, or did he not dare to?”
Wu Shi looked at Xu Chen, who was still silent, and could not help but frown. He shouted,
"Don't you have this little bit of confidence?! Then how can you marry my daughter? Little Wu, let's go. This person has no ambition and is not worthy of my Wu family's daughter!”
He has already relaxed his requirements so much. Even if you can't meet them, you should at least express your confidence and determination, right? He didn't even express his stance. If that wasn't guilt, then what was?
Xu Chen's silence made Wu Shi a little angry. This time, he no longer hesitated. He took Xiao Wu's hand and walked out without looking back!
This time, even if Xiao Wu had Oscar-winning acting skills, there was nothing he could do.
"Uncle."
Xu Chen called out. He looked at Wu Shi Yao's back and stopped him.
"What else do you have to say? Hurry up and finish speaking!"
The warrior turned around and seemed to be a little impatient as he urged.
However, his eyes fell on the packet of tea leaves on the table.
In fact, he was still reluctant to part with that packet of tea leaves. It was such good tea…
"Thank you for your tolerance, Uncle. However, I think I should still be strict with myself.”
Xu Chen looked at Xiao Wu's red eyes and couldn't help but feel touched. He shouted,
"I, Xu Chen, will say this today. The day I become a marquis and pay my respects is the day I propose marriage to uncle!”
Set a small goal first. For example, become a Marquis first!
His words were earth-shattering, causing Xiao Wu and Wu Shi to be stunned.
How many marquises were there in the Great Tang? How many prime ministers were there?
All of them were either old men with outstanding military achievements or old men who were good at governing the country.
In any case, at this level, there was no one who did not call themselves old men. Even if you were really conferred the title of Marquis, at this time, the day lily would probably be cold.
Wu Shi Hui's face darkened slightly, but he didn't want to dampen Xu Chen's fighting spirit, so he said,"
"Xu Chen, don't bite off more than you can chew. It's too early to talk about this. You just have to meet my requirements and improve a little on this foundation.”
As a founding hero, he still had some influence in the imperial court. As long as Xu Chen had a reputation and foundation, he was confident that he could promote him.
He was afraid that he would not even be able to get a county magistrate. He did not even have the foundation to be promoted.
"Chen gege, I will also help you to come up with a plan. You will definitely be a good official in the future!”
Xiao Wu wiped the tears off his face and smiled happily as he said confidently.
With her political talent, it was easy for her to help Xu Chen become an official. Even if Xu Chen had to eat, drink, and defecate every day to make children, as long as she was there, the government affairs would definitely be done beautifully.
With such a wife around, he could be promoted even if he was lying down!
"Yes, you will also be a good county magistrate's wife.”
Xu Chen smiled and teased.
The two of them teased each other, and Wu Shi couldn't keep his face up anymore. This father was standing here. Aren't the two of you too impudent?
He snorted coldly and finally put the tea bag that belonged to him on the table into his pocket. Then, he reminded,
"Little Wu, remember to come home early for dinner.”
After saying that, he left in a hurry without even bringing his daughter.
These tea leaves were good stuff. He had to show off in front of his friends!
I was wondering why no one voted for this flower evaluation vote, huh?
