Not until this farce came to an end did Xue Jing finally have the time to devote some energy to responding to Xirui's questions.

[I'm sorry to have embarrassed you.] Xue Jing scratched his head, and then he realized belatedly that he felt a little embarrassed.

Especially after hearing a few obvious teasing sounds coming from Xirui.

Xue Jing's ears turned red.

[This was an accident. My father was too naughty, which made my grandfather so angry.] Xue Jing explained hesitantly.

Unexpectedly, Xirui's focus was not on this at all.

[I didn't expect that the mature young master Xue would be so embarrassed and pitiful in front of Xue Ming.] He was actually forced to cling to someone's thigh.

Xirui still can't stop laughing.

Since this little brother came to her side, he has cried, laughed, and been beaten.

But it has never been so funny.

Xirui felt as if she had opened up a new world.

The desire to watch the fun has regained its footing.

No one was in a hurry to instruct Xue Jing.

Anyway, her business won't be done in a short time, so there's no need to waste some time.

Let’s first find out what happened between the three generations of the Xue family.

[That's right. Even when you tied me up and threw me by the lake, I looked tougher than today.] 066, who had come out to take a breath, echoed.

When I think back to the first time Xue Jingzi saw Kangxi, he was so upset that Xirui stopped him. He just looked a little miserable on the outside.

Nothing can compare to this time.

Not only was the young boy holding the other's thigh helplessly and sadly, he was also dragged on the ground until his pants were torn.

This was something Xirui and 066 had never expected.

I never expected that the stubborn boy with thorns all over his body would have such a day.

Xirui and 066 smiled at each other, and there was clearly a hint of relief in their eyes.

fine……

Fortunately, he is still willing to try to accept a new family relationship.

This at least shows that Xie Xingyu's original choice did not cause him further harm.

This is enough.

It’s a pity that Xue Jing is not in the same space as them now, so he can’t see these things and naturally doesn’t know what they are thinking.

I thought they were really making fun of themselves.

The fair and handsome face turned red and then white, and then red again, which was very lively.

It took me a long while to calm down.

He coughed twice, avoided their teasing, and began to explain the reason for today's farce. [The test papers from previous years that Miss Eleven had given were discovered by her father.]

He said this with a guilty conscience.

Originally he was planning to show it to his elder brother bit by bit.

Unfortunately, there is always a loophole in a perfect plan. His eldest brother was completely defenseless against his father and was eventually caught.

[My father was ecstatic when he saw the test questions. He intuitively felt that this was a godsend, so he started studying hard again, thinking about taking another test.]

Xue Miao became famous at a young age, so he was naturally ambitious.

Failing the provincial examinations many times did not wear down his arrogance, but instead made him more paranoid.

He stubbornly believed that he was only one step away from becoming a juren, and that as long as he could reach a little higher, he would definitely succeed.

In this case, wouldn't the test papers from previous years found from Xue Yi be exactly what he wanted?

He didn't even bother to ask where the test questions came from, and just took them and walked towards his yard.

He cried and laughed all the way, and muttered to himself at the papers.

But it frightened the servants who were passing by.

Uncle Xue has gone crazy. This is a big deal.

Everyone in the house, young and old, ran out in a hurry to see what was happening.

[As soon as my father saw my grandfather, he shouted that he had a good chance of passing the imperial examination, threw down the cards and keys he had just received, and went back to his study to study hard.]

This just touched Mr. Xue's sensitive heart again.

He finally persuaded his son to let go of some things and pass on his hopes to the next generation. Then, they, father and son, could work together to support the family business and reduce the burden on their children.

As a result, the son had only been well-behaved for a few days, and he hadn't even started to feel comfortable with the cards and keys that had been handed over to him, but now he was thinking of throwing his hands away and ignoring them.

How could Xue Xiong agree to this?

Not to mention, Xue Miao's current state doesn't look reliable.

[The grandfather was furious and started fighting with him.] When he and his elder brother arrived, they were only able to stop the fight.

Xirui really didn't expect that Xue Jing, her new father, could be so perseverant.

Fight and fail again and again, but keep fighting.

After trying for so many years, the best result I got was just at the end of the secondary list.

Besides, there wasn't even a splash of water to be seen.

How can you still be so confident?

[This...] Xirui was also a little helpless.

It’s not that they don’t want Xue Miao to take the exam, but he also has to see what the situation is at this family.

With no one in charge of the rear house, all matters at home and outside fell on the shoulders of Mr. Xue alone.

He is an old man and his energy is running low. If he doesn't have a helper, he will really break down.

[Why don't we discuss this with him?] If he really wants to take the exam, he can wait a few more years until Xue Jing grows up and can share some of Xue Xiong's responsibilities before trying again.

I can't just continue to be unproductive like before and leave all the burdens of the family to my old father and young son.

This is too unreasonable.

[I hope he can still listen to what we say.] Xue Jing actually didn't hold out much hope.

After being here for so many days, how could he not understand what kind of person his new father is?

After all, he was spoiled by his family.

Can't take any responsibility.

Xirui didn't want to get too involved in these messy family affairs, so she could only mention them briefly.

After making sure that Xue Jing knew what was going on, he said no more.

[The Crown Prince and the eldest brother have already set out. The Niuhulu clan's business will support them as they move south. You just need to follow them when the time comes.]

The Xue family's restaurant has already established a relationship with the Niuhulu family, so any subsequent cooperation will be much smoother.

Xirui initially estimated that when Yinreng and his men gradually expanded to the south, the Xue family's restaurant should also be developing steadily.

By then, we will be able to cooperate.

As long as they get on board the prince's big ship, they won't have to worry about not being able to develop.

Xue Jing was delighted when he heard this.

[Don't worry, Miss Eleven. The new product of the restaurant will be a big hit once it is launched. Now I have established a connection with the Chen family. Next month, I will go to the Chen family's main residence to celebrate the birthday.]

Even though Chen Xin was exiled, he is still a member of the Chen family after all.

After Xue Jing's overt and covert persuasion over the past few days, he finally stopped being stubborn and agreed to return home to celebrate his father's birthday.

Moreover, because Xue Jing had been there to counsel him these days, Chen Xin simply decided to take him back to his family.
