Translator: 549690339

“Mother, I don’t want to discuss marriage!”

As Li Xiu’e was speaking, the door to the main room was pushed open from the outside, and Su Ziqin and Su Zixuan, the brother and sister duo, returned home from school and happened to hear her words outside.

Su Ziqin, also known as Sister Qiao, showed her displeasure when she heard about discussing marriage, “I want to take the entrance exam to the Imperial

Academv and become a Female Official.”

“Is there any girl who doesn’t discuss marriage?”

Li Xiu’e instantly became unhappy as her voice raised an octave, “Going to school and discussing marriage aren’t conflicting, why don’t we settle the marriage first? Then after passing the exam and becoming a Female Official, we will proceed with the wedding, what’s wrong with that?”

“It’s not as simple as you think. Once a woman is engaged, she is tied down. Which in-law family would be so easy to persuade, letting us decide when to hold the wedding?”

Su Ziqin irritatedly sat down on the Kang (heatable brick bed), and with her delicate little face, she rebutted, “What if I can’t pass the exam and become a Female Official? Can they wait for a lifetime?”

“If you can’t pass the exam, just get married.”

Li Xiu’e was discontent, “It’s better to give up, so that I won’t be annoyed anymore.”

“I won’t get married!”

Su Ziqin was stubborn, wholeheartedly wanting to leave Dashan and go to the bustling Capital City, “If I can’t become a Female Official, I’ll go to the academy to become a female teacher, teaching, living on my own.”

“You child, do you want to anger me to death?”

Li Xiu’e was a simple rural daughter-in-law. She had conservative thoughts and couldn’t accept these unconventional opinions.

“Hey hey, wife, don’t be angry. When children grow up, they have their own thoughts.”

Su Hu rubbed his tired brow as he watched the escalating argument between his mother and daughter.

“Mother, calm down. Sister has a point.”

Su Qingluo glanced at Su Zixuan, who indifferently kept his eyes lowered and stood with his hands behind his back, making it clear that he had no intention of getting involved in the quarrel between the women.

She reluctantly tried to mediate, smiling bitterly and pulling at the corner of her mouth, speaking in a sweet and soft voice, playing the role of a peacemaker.

“You know, all the boys in the villages nearby are tanned like black catfish, none of them are worthy of Sister.”

“Sister is beautiful and talented, even the Master at the school praised her promising future and the possibility of her becoming a Female Official in Capital City.”

“Sister’s wonderful life shouldn’t be confined to this poor mountain valley, only scholars and refined gentlemen in the Capital City are a good match for our golden Phoenix.”

“You!”

Li Xiu’e couldn’t help but burst out laughing at the mention of black catfish, and poked her daughter’s forehead with agitation, “Your little mouth is really sweet, constantly flattering others.”

“Mother, I’m doing this for your own good.”

Su Qingluo helplessly touched her bitter forehead, leaning back, “Isn’t it wonderful to have a mother of a Female Official, it’s much better than being a black catfish’s mother-in-law.”

“Hehe.”

At this point, even Su Hu and Su Zixuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Pfft!”

Su Ziqin felt both embarrassed and annoyed when she heard the words

“mother-in-law,” and spat softly, “Like you know so much.”

“Sister, I’m helping you! See, even Mother is laughing.” Su Qingluo deliberately showed a pitiful face.

“Alright, let’s eat.”

As the atmosphere warmed, Su Hu timely changed the subject, “The kids have been reading all day and are tired. Let them eat their meal first and then rest in their rooms.”

“Alright, I’m going to serve the food, let’s eat and talk.”

Li Xiu’e’s anger subsided as Su Qingluo successfully diverted her attention. She got up from the bed and headed to the kitchen.

“Mother, let me help you.”

Su Zixuan made a funny face at Su Qingluo and followed his mother into the kitchen.

“Sister Yu, thank you.”

Su Ziqin watched her mother leave the room, leaned forward, and gently touched her sister’s little head.

“Sister, we are family, no need to say thank you.”

Su Qingluo smiled brightly, her flawless, delicate face becoming even more beautiful under the candlelight..
