Chapter 123 Midnight Talk

"Brother will definitely do what he promised you."

Su Hexuan, who felt that Su Taotao was too considerate of people's hearts, vowed to do so.

After the brother and sister talked for a while, Su Hexuan saw that Su Taotao was yawning and seemed to be sleepy and wanted to sleep, so he offered to leave and let Su Taotao go to bed early.

Except for the people in Su Hexuan's own yard and Su Taotao's yard, no one in the family knew about Su Hexuan's visit to Su Taotao at night.

In his sleep, Su Silin was still thinking that while waiting for tomorrow, he must get up early and buy a gift for Su Taotao.

I am not as quick-thinking as the two Su Minghe brothers, but I cannot be inferior to my brothers in action.

At least it’s okay as long as you’re not at the bottom.

Little did they know that Su Hexuan had already gone to find Su Taotao, but he was still the slowest to respond.

****

"father--"

He Zhixin was originally going to Su Minghe's yard, but when she passed by the old man's yard, she found that the lights in the old man's yard were still on.

He Zhixin guessed that the old man was not sleeping yet, so he walked in.

"Why are you coming to my place so late?"

The old man heard He Zhixin's voice and asked with some doubts.

"I want to tell dad something."

He Zhixin opened her mouth and told the reason why she came to see the old man.

"Although Minghe and Youyang are still young, I want to tell my father in advance that if these two children have no achievements in studying, I want them to go into business."

After He Zhixin said this, she took a look at the old man's face and made sure that the old man's face had not changed before she said the following words.

"I know that scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants are the last."

"It's just that rather than letting my children struggle in something they have no talent for, I still hope they can choose something they are good at, even if this kind of thing they are good at is not good in the eyes of others."

"Why do you think Minghe and Youyang are not talented in reading?"

The old man listened silently to He Zhixin's words, and then he asked slowly.

"Although the results of these two children are not as good as Hexuan's, overall they are not very bad. Maybe they are just too young to sit still, so they seem to be struggling."

He remembered that the grades of He Zhixin's two children had always been above average.

Although it is not top-notch, it is passable. Is it too early for He Zhixin to consider this now?

"I've considered the possibility."

He Zhixin said that she had thought about this possibility.

"But as a mother, I also have to consider that if their current results are their limit, I have to consider whether they can choose other paths in the future."

"When I said these words to dad today, it's not that I hope they will follow the path I want for them in the future, but I hope that dad will be mentally prepared in advance."

After all, the Su family finally had the opportunity to change its appearance. Now that the Su family has a title and is no longer a businessman, he wants to let his children go back and go downhill.

She was worried that the old man would have objections, so she wanted to talk to him in advance.

"You are their mother. If you think it doesn't matter whether your children become successful or not, what's important is that they can live a happy and relaxed life, and if the children don't care, I won't say anything more."

The old man nodded and spoke his mind.

"This family is not that old-fashioned and pedantic. Look at Silin, doesn't he just not like reading? Do I agree that he only wants to practice martial arts?"

"Xiao Lin is practicing martial arts and will have a chance to become the top martial arts scholar in the future. If Minghe and Youyang study business, it will have nothing to do with their official careers."

He Zhixin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the old man agreed with her idea.

She is not competitive and does not like to compare with others. Life is so short. If she feels that she is doing well, why should she care about what others think?

Moreover, the Su family has money and status, and their children have a good relationship with their sister-in-law's children.

As long as the relationship between the children does not change much, even if both of my children choose to go into business in the future, my sister-in-law's children will be their backers.

That's how family is, you help me, I'll help you, that's how we feel like a family.

"That's not necessarily the case."

When the old man heard what He Zhixin said, he said with a slight smile.

"Don't forget, although being an imperial merchant does not have real power, you will also have an official position."

"Haha, that's what dad said."

He Zhixin smiled when she heard this. Her father really had high hopes for his two children.

You must know that there are so many businessmen in the world, and there will only be one imperial businessman. This is much more difficult than taking the top exam.

After all, the number one scholar comes once every three years. If the previous emperor merchant was not removed, the next emperor merchant would not appear.

"If they choose to be businessmen, I will definitely supervise their efforts and will not disappoint dad's expectations."

After saying what she wanted to say to the old man, He Zhixin saw that it was getting late, so she said goodbye to the old man and asked him to rest early before leaving.

Originally, she wanted to go to Su Minghe's yard, but who knew that after talking in the old man's yard, it was already very late when she came out. Su Minghe must have gone to bed, so she could only wait until the next morning to find him.

Su Minghe.

Su Minghe had just washed up, had breakfast, and was about to go play with Su Taotao, when He Zhixin happened to come to him.

"mother?"

Su Minghe looked at his mother with some confusion. Why did his mother come to him so early?

Is there something going on?

"Now, this is for you."

He Zhixin saw that Su Minghe was in a hurry to go out, and after thinking about it for a moment, she realized that he must be looking for Su Taotao, so she didn't waste any time and took out a few banknotes to Su Minghe.

"For me?"

Su Minghe took the banknote in surprise. Why did his mother suddenly give him so much money?

It is much more than the money my mother prepared during the Chinese New Year.

"Buy a gift for Taotao. Your little treasury is gone. Mother will make up for it for you."

He Zhixin gently stroked Su Minghe's head and explained why she gave the banknote to Su Minghe.

"But my little treasury is full again. My aunt came last night."

Su Minghe corrected his mother's mistake. Without waiting for He Zhixin to ask what was going on, Su Minghe ran into his yard and took out the box containing his small vault.

"Mom, look, my uncle also gave me a lot of banknotes last night, including five hundred taels~~"

The gift I bought for Taotao was only close to two hundred taels. It was what was left after I spent some of the New Year's money given to me by my grandfather during the Chinese New Year.
