Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

When Xin Ye came out of the shower, Hua Murong had just finished washing her hair. The brother and sister sat in two rows and wiped their hair.

Xin Ye came out wiping his hair and saw that Hua Murong had Hua Bei helping her to wipe her hair, while his wife could only wipe it by herself. For a moment, he felt distressed and guilty. It was because he was incompetent and could not even afford a maid, otherwise his wife would have someone to serve her.

He walked over quickly, snatched the towel from Yan Yiyi's hand and used it to wipe her hair.

Yan Yiyi was stunned. Although he usually helped her wipe her hair, it was obvious that his wet hair dripping with water needed to be wiped more than hers, whose hair was almost dry, right?

Hua Murong realized at this time that her sister had no maid to serve her, and explained: "Yi'er, don't worry, after parents see your letter, they will arrange for your former maid to come and serve you.

Not only can they take care of your daily life, but they also have kung fu skills, so they can protect you and run errands for you."

Yan Yiyi was about to say no, but after hearing that they had kung fu skills and could also run errands, she swallowed her words.

Xin Ye paused when he heard this, and thought that since they were trained by the Hua family, they must be more useful than ordinary servants bought from the pawnshop. So he didn't worry about whether he should pay for a servant for his wife. Anyway, as long as his wife had someone to use, he would take care of her daily life personally.

Yan Yiyi let Xin Ye wipe her hair for a while and then changed positions with him. Xin Ye happily enjoyed the service of his wife wiping his hair, a smile of pleasure unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth. He secretly glanced at his brother-in-law who had a sour look on his face, and felt secretly proud in his heart.

Hehe, I have a wife who loves me, but he doesn’t.

By the time the three of them had taken care of themselves, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

After leaving the house, Hua Murong saw the green vegetables planted on the dry land. She pointed at the red and green plants in the distance and asked, "Are those the peppers you planted over there?"

The couple looked in the direction he pointed, and Yan Yiyi replied, "Yes, that's the pepper. Looks like we should pick some first."

"I want to go over and take a look first. Oh, and what are those sweet potatoes you mentioned? Are these the green ones?"

"Not all of them, some are other vegetables." Yan Yiyi took the lead and walked forward, "Let's go and take a look first. It doesn't matter if the carriage is late."

Hua Murong walked over to take a look. The sweet potato was a vine plant, with leaves as big as her palm supported on the green vine. She thought of the sweet potatoes she had eaten before, and an idea suddenly occurred to her: "Sweet potatoes grow in the ground? Are they already there now?"

"There should be some, but they are still small. This batch of sweet potatoes should be ready for digging before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Hua Murong was still squatting on the ground curiously, trying to look at it with her hands.

Seeing this, Xin Ye suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother, you mentioned before that you wanted to take the imperial examination. Excuse me, what kind of official do you want to be?"

Finding his question a bit vague, he added: "Will he be a local official, or a close minister to the emperor, or will he like investigating cases?"

Hua Murong paused. She didn't expect him to ask her this question. She had never thought about such a specific matter.

The reason why he wanted to take the imperial examination was just a rebellious idea that came out of his childhood. Everyone around him regarded him as their father's successor, and they all talked about what he would do after inheriting his father's position.

At that time, the underworld and the imperial court were not as stable as they are now. The imperial court was very powerful and required people in the underworld to strictly abide by the law. The prefect of Shacheng at that time was a corrupt official. Whenever there was a case that was suspicious and could not be explained, he would blame the people in the underworld.

At that time, my father, his friends, and the guards at home were all helpless when talking about these things. They all said that the people should not fight against the officials. Even if they belonged to the underworld, the underworld people living in various countries are the citizens of their country and are all people!

There is also talk of officials protecting each other. We can only endure some trivial matters.

At this time, someone suddenly said, "If a high-ranking official emerges from our martial arts sect, we will have someone in the court to protect us. Even if the local officials cannot make things convenient for us, at least we won't be in a difficult situation."

Maybe that person just said this casually, and he probably didn't even remember saying it after he said it, but this sentence was deeply engraved in his heart.

If a high-ranking official could emerge in the underworld who could protect his family and allies, Hua Murong felt that being a high-ranking official was more important than inheriting his father's position!

My father has more than one son. If I were gone, he could still choose my second brother. Well, my younger brother was not born at that time and was not within my consideration.

So, why can't I become a high-ranking official?

Would other high-ranking officials be willing to protect their own families?

It’s a blessing that the Hua family was not liquidated immediately.

So, is there any better way than to become the high-ranking official yourself?

The answer is: no.

From then on, he began to ask to learn the Four Books and Five Classics. Of course, he also did not neglect his martial arts. His own skills were more useful and safer than having many personal bodyguards.

In order to improve his ability to deal with things, he also learned from his father to take over the affairs of the household. His father, still thinking that he could turn back, handed most of the things to him to deal with little by little.

The fact is, he has already achieved the honor of a juren.

Ever since Dad took a fancy to Yi'er and wanted to train her to be his successor, and got Yi'er's consent, he has ignored his three rebellious boys. In Dad's eyes, the three of them are just Yi'er's assistants.

Another thing is that since I passed the imperial examination, my father's plan has expanded. He has three sons. The eldest son entered the court as an official, the youngest son went to the battlefield to gain military merit and became a general, and the second son helped manage the family business and increase wealth.

In this way, the Hua family will have both civil and military talents, and they will also have money!

Finally, his daughter, who is extremely powerful and has inherited his true teachings, will inherit his position. The Hua family will definitely be able to move to a higher level. The people in their family no longer have to act according to the corrupt officials' wishes and no longer have to endure the insults he has suffered.

Having said that, to be honest, he only had a vague idea of ​​what this high-ranking official was going to do. His primary goal was to take the imperial examination. He didn't want to be the number one, but at least be in the top three!

I don’t have a clear goal for how to move up in the future. Even if I have connections in this area, I can’t copy other people’s paths to success. Some things require the right time, place and people, and cannot be forced.

Hua Murong clapped his hands, stood up and looked at Xin Ye: "My current goal is to get into the top three. I haven't thought about the future yet. What do you think, brother-in-law?"

"Brother, are you going to take part in the imperial examination next year?" Xin Ye asked instead of answering.

Hua Murong nodded: "That's natural."

Xin Ye said seriously: "Brother, whether you pass the exam in the top three or not, you are a second-class Jinshi. I suggest that you apply to be sent to a local government as a local official."
