Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 86 - IV



At this time, Jing Xingzhi turned around, and behind him were Li Yunxi and Li Jialin, father and son.

Li Jialin was a little confused when he was stuffed with a bunch of candied haws, and he said slowly: “Thank you, thank you, little uncle.”

‘No, why did Gu (I: only the royal could use them) get the same snack as the fourth child!’ Li Jialin looked at the candied haws and cursed.

Jing Xingzhi smiled amiably: “You’re welcome, you can call me Junior Uncle.”

Li Yunxi was a little speechless. As an emperor who already had a son, how could he still eat candied haws? He was ashamed.

But seeing that Jing Xingzhi still had a bunch of candied haws in his hand, Li Yunxi thought with some embarrassment: ‘Could it be for me?’

‘If I ate candied haws on the street, and a minister noticed me, would I lose face?!’

Li Yunxi didn’t wait for his junior brother to speak and refused without hesitation: “I don’t need it.”

But Jing Xingzhi’s eyes widened: “Senior brother, you want to eat? If you want to eat, I’ll give it to you.”

Jing Xingzhi felt a little aggrieved. His son was older than me, and he still wanted to steal his portion.

Seeing Jing Xingzhi like this, Li Yunxi knew that he was wrong. He said with a dark face, “I don’t want to!”

“Oh, that’s good.” Jing Xingzhi turned around with relief and happily gnawed on the candied haws.

People didn’t know why, but the candied haws in the mouths of the three brothers seemed to be more delicious. It was really strange.

A group of five people, four of them holding candied haws on a stick, continued walking forward.

.

Not far away, Old Madam Ning was supported by the old maid who took care of her and walked toward the five people.

The old maid whispered in Old Madam Ning’s ear: “Old madam, it’s the one in the middle, wearing blue clothes.”

Old Madam Ning nodded, indicating that she understood.

Two groups of people, walking toward each other, got closer and closer.

Soon, the two groups of people met.

Jing Xingzhi bit the candied haws in his mouth, held a small prince in one hand, and moved him to the side.

He gave way. Li Yunxi and Li Jialin behind him took a quick look and found that there was an old lady opposite, so they politely stepped aside.

Old Madam Ning was stunned and her steps paused.

Why did everyone suddenly give way to her?!

And it seemed that Jing Xingzhi was taking the lead. Was this kid so polite?

Old Madam Ning reacted quickly in order not to be exposed. After being stunned for a moment, she walked over calmly. She even smiled and said thank you as she walked past.

But even though she looked calm and composed on the surface, her mind was definitely racing.

When Old Madam Ning passed by, her peripheral vision fell on Jing Xingzhi, and she did not notice the father and son beside him.

However, the old lady was recognized by Li Yunxi and Li Jialin among the four father and son.

Li Yunxi knew Jing Xingzhi’s real identity. When they reached a place where no one was around, he said, “The old lady just now is the old lady of Marquis Zhenyuan‘s Mansion.”

Li Jialin nodded: “Father, I also recognized her.”

Jing Xingzhi was only surprised for a moment and then returned to normal. It had nothing to do with him anyway.

Jing Xingzhi even had the mood to suggest that he take the four of them to go shopping somewhere else.

After coming to the capital for so many days, he had only gone to the palace to work hard. When he returned, he didn’t even know what to pick as a gift for Xiao Fangfang. This was not good.

Li Yunxi didn’t know how free and unrestrained Jing Xingzhi was. He just watched Jing Xingzhi, who was the same age as his son, spend all his money while shopping.

The father and son finished shopping on a few streets and then went to the place where Jing Xingzhi lived for a meal.

When leaving, Li Yunxi told Jing Xingzhi alone: “You don’t have to be afraid of the Marquis Zhenyuan’s Mansion. Senior brother is here.”

After getting along for a while, Li Yunxi’s feelings toward this junior brother had gone from being worse than a plastic flower to really caring about him. This little guy already he regarded as his little brother.

For the dignity of the teacher, he could contradict the emperor; for the sake of protecting the teacher, he could accept the silver whip to punish the prince; he treated his children and him as a normal nephew and senior brother. Such a heart and character were really rare!

Due to various reasons, Li Yunxi took the initiative to say these words and spread his wings of protection.

Jing Xingzhi smiled brightly and calmly hugged the five-meter-thick thigh handed over by Li Yunxi: “Thank you, senior brother, please take care of me in the future!”

Li Yunxi also curled up his lips with a magnanimous smile. He said in his usual commanding tone: “I’m leaving, don’t send me away.”

.

The four father and son left, and the small house became quiet.

Wang Zhuang emerged from the corner and told Jing Xingzhi: “Young Master Jing, it seems that Old Madam Ning went to see you on purpose. But… that old lady loved Ning Yongyuan very much, and even make sure to make Ning Yongyuan happy when she came back. He had been living in her yard.”

What Wang Zhuang meant was – The old lady liked Ning Yongyuan, so to Jing Xingzhi, he feared that this person might not be kind.

It was Li Yunxi who guessed this thought and told Jing Xingzhi what he had said before.

Jing Xingzhi looked at Wang Zhuang, who wanted to say something but was embarrassed, and said: “I don’t know her, but I felt something was wrong with that old lady. I was afraid she would cause porcelain bumping so I avoided her. But I didn’t expect it to be more complicated.”

Wang Zhuang was confused: “What is porcelain bumping?”

Jing Xingzhi explained: “It’s when defective porcelain is deliberately used to hit passers-by, pretending that it was damaged, and asking passers-by to compensate for the price of flawless porcelain.”

After Jing Xingzhi finished explaining, he described it vividly: “A well-dressed wealthy old lady walks slowly with small steps. She doesn’t take a sedan or a carriage and has to walk past you. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

Wang Zhuang was completely captivated. With his thoughts racing, he no longer felt sorry for Young Master Jing, and nodded without hesitation: “It’s very strange!”
