The Blessed

"Either milch cow or goat is OK, but not eggs. Like uncle said, we can buy some chicks and we’d have eggs to eat after they grow up. Daddy, it’s true we have money now, but we still have to save it. Didn’t you say you want to send us to school? And our house also needs mending. You know, it all needs money.”

Cows and goats are animals. So it wouldn’t lose money anyway. But consumables like eggs were decidedly denied by him. In case of his unstopped whining, Ling Jingxuan who failed to retake the ‘power’ hurriedly said, “All right, we’ll do as you said. You put away those silver first. I got something to talk to your uncle alone.”

It was already good enough that his stingy bun could have conceded so much. Ling Jingxuan took out a big ten-tael silver and a few one-tael silver, then fastened it and handed it back to him.

"Ok."

After receiving the bundle, Ling Wen turned around and ran out joyfully, with the small bun following behind, giggling. Not until the two shadows disappeared did the two brother gave each other a smile. Never mind. He should save it if he wants, as long as their little buns are happy.

"Jingpeng, later you go to the market for Wang, and book fifty big jars that could store fifty jin. Mouth not too big, like those ordinary wines jars and it would do. And, book two hundred small pots like those yesterday. Remember, I want the word ‘Ling’ with dark color on its body, and ‘Ling Jam’ at the bottom. And, and two hundred more of the wine jars we booked yesterday. Don’t let Xiaowen know.”

Withdrawing the smile, Ling Jingxuan pushed that ten-tael silver before his younger brother.

"Hehe...ok, I get it, should I bring the piglets and chicks back by the way?”

"All right, two piglets first, fifty chicks, and a few hens that could lay eggs. Oh, is there any good carpenter in our village?"

Ling Jingxuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. It looks like the two little buns want some little piglets badly, it’s not a bad idea to buy them as early as possible, at least the big bun wouldn’t always stare at him. To be honest, every time he spent money, as long as he heard him call him daddy, he couldn’t help trembling. He is really his bane!

"Isn't our father a carpenter? Father used to do some carpentry and take it to the fair in the slack season, or how do you think we got our rations?"

Carefully putting away the silver, Ling Jingpeng casually said. Actually he also could do some simple carpentry work, of course, he could only act as his father’s assistant.

"Is that so? I really forgot. Well, we’ll talk about it when dad comes."

Ling Jingxuan picked his eyebrow surprisingly. He really had no idea of that, since it was not in the memories of the original owner. Maybe his dad specially learnt it in recent years in order to give him material assistance secretly.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help feeling warm in the heart. Although his parents were too sincere, easy to be bullied, let along protect them, Ling Jingxuan, from the bottom of the heart, felt happy, at least they really are good to him, right? As for other things, they were bullied, he could help them fight back. He had never needed other’s protection.

"You want daddy to make that kind of wooden wedges for wine bottles, don't you?"

"Hmm, by the way, make a pighen and chicken coop. By the way, are there any other private schools around here besides the private school run by Lord Ling?"

Nodding, Ling Jingxuan suddenly asked, next they would be more and more busy, so he’d better send the kids to the private school as soon as possible, in case those bitches would come make trouble again while he was not home.

"No, as you know, our grandfather is the only xiucai in several villages around here. Most of the children are sent to his private school, you know, no one else can teach them."

Knowing that he scrupled their grandfather and the Ling family, Ling Jingpeng helplessly shook his head. This matter is really tough.

"Is that so? I will go to town tomorrow. If there’s no other choice, I will send them to school in the town. I can buy a carriage to take them to school every day. The kids’ education is big thing. I dare not send them to learn from someone like Lord Ling."

It wouldn’t be a thing as long as it could be solved through money. For the kids, he wouldn’t say a word even if it’d cost all the money he earned. He didn’t expect them to pass the imperial examination to confer a big title or what, but only wished they would be highly cultured and steeped in propriety, sensible and reasonable, and not get bullied again. Lord Ling couldn’t even teach his own kids, how could he teach others’ kids well? Even if he is the zhuangyuan (lit. "top thesis author"), he could send his kids to him, let alone he is only a xiucai.

“Buy a carriage? How much would that cost?"

Hearing him, Ling Jingpeng couldn’t help opening his eyes big, and by his ears he could even hear the sound of silver flowing out. Ling Wen who happened to come in also frowned on hearing that, but this time he didn’t blame his daddy for being too extravagant, but only secretly calculating the possibility of going to town to school and buying a cart.

"We have to buy it no matter how much it costs. Jingpeng, Xiaowen, Xiaowu, remember, some money can be saved, but some definitely not, like reading. In the ancient times, Meng’s mother moved three times for his study. Though I have no ability to move to town for now, at least I can buy a cart to send you to school. Besides, you know, we got more and more business in town, it would be easier to have a cart, which can save us a lot of time. So, say no more. I have made up my mind.”

Having transmigrated in here, this was the first time Ling Jingxuan made up his mind without giving them a chance to say no. The little buns like money, he could earn. But on their education, he wouldn’t make concession.

"Hmm, daddy, it's up to you. I don't want to go to that old man's place to study."

It was really a rare thing that his Ling Wen wasn’t being stingy this time. Though he got undistinguished reluctance in his eyes, he still nodded to agree. Ling Jingxuan and Ling Jingpeng both froze there, but instantly recalled yesterday’s thing, plus as smart as Ling Wen is, he should have realized what the problem was. They again gave each other a smile. That’s not bad, at least it saved them a lot of saliva to convince him.

"Be good, daddy will try to earn it back no matter how much money it spends."

Pamperingly rubbing his head, Ling Jingxuan rarely said perceptually.

"Hmm."

The two buns looked at each other and nodded heavily, the difference is, one’s eyes were beaming, while the other pursd his lips.

"Well, your uncle is going to the market to run some errands, and help you buy the piglets and chicks. And I’m going to Tiewa’s house. Who would you like to go with, your uncle or me?”

Things that were supposed to talk over all got talked over. But Ling Jingxuan did not mention the military service thing. Ling Jinghan would recover soon, and his good days were right before the eyes. Before that, he should let his parents move out. His tuition told him the military service thing might be a perfect chance.

"I, daddy, I'm going to catch the piglets."

Hearing that they would buy piglets, Ling Wu dashed forward excitedly, his round big eyes nearly narrowed into a line. Ling Jingxuan held him up, “Just raising some piglets. Do you have to be so happy?”ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Of course, daddy, you don't know, last year I saw someone in the village butchering pigs for the New Year, and it was very lively. Tiewa invited me to eat pork stew when his family butchered a pig. It was so delicious! When we raise a fat pig, let’s invite Tiewa and others to have pork stew with us, OK?”

It seemed there was only food from the little thing’s mouth, it made Ling Jingxuan and Jingpeng feel sorry for him. The two buns had lived such a miserable life before. It was only reasonable their characters would be kind of special.

"OK, then we go to the market now. Xiaowen, do you want to come with us?"

Picking up Ling Wu from his big brother’s thigh, Ling Jingpeng stood up and asked Ling Wen who didn’t make any sound. If he remembered it correctly, Ling Wen wanted to raise piglets.

"No, I'll stay and watch the house. By the way, I want to practice the new words I learned last night."

At the thought of spending so much money on his study, Ling Wen would not allow himself to be too eager to have fun. He would study hard and earn a high position in the court for his daddy.

"All right, you take Xiaowu to go."

Before ling Jingpeng spoke, Ling Jingxuan took Ling Wen to his side and made the decision for him, Ling Jingpeng nodded, and went out holding Ling Wu.

"Xiaowen, don't give yourself too much pressure because you will go to the town to study, not only reading, we can't give ourselves too much pressure whatever we do. I know, reading is the child's part, but you also don't forget, playing and having fun is also the nature of children, only by combining exertion and rest could you give full play to your potential.”

Not until the uncle and nephew went out pulling the handcart did Ling Jingxuan hold up Ling Wen and said seriously. He didn’t want him to give himself too much pressure. Or, he’d rather teach him himself at home.

"Hmm, I know. I will combine them together."

Didn’t expect daddy saw him through. Ling Wen lowered his head sullenly. After quite a while, he suddenly raised his head again, saying with firm eyes, “I will earn a big official for daddy. I won’t let the money go for nothing!”

“Hehe…I will wait for that day to come.”

Ling Jingxuan raised his eyebrows, and showed a bright smile. Shouldn’t he feel happy since he son is going to earn his face?

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ At this time, Ling Jingxuan may just take them as children's words, and did not put in mind, but he did not know that from this moment on, the greatest and youngest prime minister was gradually being born.

"Hmm!"

Seeing this, Ling Wen also smiled, later, the father and son chatted a few more words. Not until Ling Wen went to the backyard to study did Ling Jingxuan just remember that he hadn’t sent someone the medicine, so he hurried up to the kitchen and sent the already cooled medicine into the woodshed.

"Fortunately, yesterday’s trying to be a hero didn’t have too much bad influence on your injury. Just rest for another four or five days and the wound on your head would scab, and you can come out. Just remember, don't try to be brave again these days."

Feeling the pulse for him routinely, Ling Jingxuan felt quite in the mood, and his tone was also much softer.

Seeing a warm smile on his face, Yan shengrui can't help smiling broadly, "Hmm, just as what you say."

One could imagine how ambiguous his tone was. Ling Jingxuan subconsciously got stoned there, then instantly moved his eyes away and stood up, "Take a good rest, Xiaowen is practicing calligraphy in the backyard. Call him if you need something. I’m going out.”

After what had happened yesterday, he could no longer treat him as a stranger who had raped the original owner, but it was also impossible for him to accept him, at least not now.

"You made the right decision to send the boys to town to study. That old man is not the material as a teacher."

As he turned around, Yan Shengrui suddenly said so.

"Did you hear us talk?"

How is that possible? However shabby their house was, there was a wall at least in between, right? How could he…unless…his phoenix long and thin eyes suddenly froze, "You can hear what we said in the bedroom?"

Damn it! This bastard isn't a legendary martial arts master, is he? So what's the privacy of them living together? Maybe he even heard their private talk.

"Hmm, I seem to have good hearing and eyesight."

Blinking his eyes and nodding, Yan Shengrui at this moment was exactly the same like when the little buns were showing off. The father and two sons were like three peas in a pod! Even the way they acted cute was the same!

"Er…For god’s sake, why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

Ling Jingxuan held his forehead, it seems that this bastard is a master of martial arts. But on a second thought, it was only reasonable. As a general commanding an army, it’s only strange if his martials arts is not good.

This time, Yan Shengrui did not speak any more. He just smiled at him, as if he were saying, "You did not ask me.” If he could, Ling Jingxuan really wanted to slap him in the face. Fuck! After he got recovered, he must throw him out! Or in the future, he even didn’t dare to speak at home!

"Haha... is it so hard to accept?"

Looking at him leaving in a state of displeasure, Yan Shengrui cannot help laughing. Is his martial arts skills a good thing? Later who dare to bully them under his eyes? He will throw the other side into the air with a palm! It’s not bad, isn’t it?
