Gu Defa said, "I'll be going next year."
Then he added, "I'm rather slow, I won't pass the exam, my mom can't possibly become Madam Imperial Decree."
Because his brother was even slower than him.
Gu Jinli laughed and said, "You are not slow, the smartest one in your family is you. If you study with dedication, you'll surely pass and attain an official position."
Gu Defa looked up at Gu Jinli and took a bite of the crystal cake: "Really? But I don't want to go to school... I wouldn't mind being an official though, I'd do it if someone recommended me, and if not, that's fine too, working in the workshop is also good."
If Mrs. Chen heard this, she would definitely pick up a stick and beat him fiercely, scolding him for being unambitious and only knowing how to toil in the workshop.
Gu Jinli was surprised: "You even know about being recommended for an official position?"
