Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times

On the stone table and chairs in the courtyard.

Jing Xingzhi poured a cup of tea for Zhang Tong and asked, “Why did the Holy Emperor think of giving me a painting?”

Zhang Tong said with a smile, “It wasn’t a sudden thought. His Majesty was afraid Young Master Jing would be in a hurry to leave and couldn’t give it later.”

“I told the Holy Emperor before the hunt. I have been away from home for a long time, so I want to go back. The old and young at home must be worried about me.”

As Jing Xingzhi spoke, he couldn’t help but think of the old and young in his family. Of course, the one he thought of most was neither old nor young.

Zhang Tong looked at him thoughtfully and said with envy, “I heard Young Master Jing is about to have a baby in his family. Congratulations.”

He was a eunuch and would never have a child of his own in this life.

Jing Xingzhi smiled, “It’s still far away; it will be born next year. I don’t know if Master Zhang will be promoted first.”

Everyone had their own happiness in life. Having a baby was a joy, as was getting promoted and becoming wealthy. Jing Xingzhi didn’t know how Zhang Tong had gotten to where he was now, but he must have been able to live a good life in the future.

There was no need to worry about what had happened. Jing Xingzhi secretly poured out some words of encouragement.

Zhang Tong was really happy after hearing this.

Who didn’t like to hear good things? Li Yunxi liked it, and so did Zhang Tong.

And this kind of ordinary chat had no flattery or exaggeration; it just sounded real!

Zhang Tong said with a smile, “Then I will remember Young Master Jing’s words. If I can’t be promoted by then, I won’t give you any gifts. I’ll just bring my mouth and belly to eat!”

“Then if you are really promoted, you have to bring two gifts.” Jing Xingzhi thought this gift was decided, unless something unexpected happened and a big change occurred, Zhang Tong would be promoted properly.

Jing Xingzhi couldn’t help but wonder whether he would open a casino in the future and bet on the minister’s promotion to make himself rich and support his family.

But after thinking about it, Jing Xingzhi felt too tired, so he might as well enjoy Xiao Fangfang’s financial support.

He was different from ordinary men. He was a man with pocket money every month!

Zhang Tong sat for a while, but he couldn’t stay too long, so he got up and left.

Jing Xingzhi also stood up, intending to see him off.

.

Finally, when the two of them arrived at the door, Jing Xingzhi stared dumbfoundedly at a little guy slipping out of Zhang Tong’s carriage.

Zhang Tong almost cried when he saw it!

“Your Highness, Fourth Highness! Little Ancestor! When did you come up?” Zhang Tong was extremely panicked.

Fortunately, he hadn’t gone far; otherwise, if a prince had gotten lost, Zhang Tong would have to lose his head.

Li Jiafu shrank his neck, feeling a little guilty but also a little happy to have come out.

When he didn’t move, Zhang Tong went up, opened the curtain, and grabbed Li Jiafu’s thin wrist.

“Little Ancestor, how did you get in the carriage? You didn’t run around just now, did you?” Zhang Tong felt like an old woman, completely lacking the aura of a future general manager.

The guard next to him was also a little confused and explained to Zhang Tong: “Eunuch Zhang, we didn’t see His Royal Highness get out of the carriage.”

Li Jiafu listened and nodded. “I didn’t. I didn’t get out.”

Li Jiafu took his wrist out of Zhang Tong’s hand and glanced secretly at Jing Xingzhi. When he saw that his junior uncle didn’t look angry, he boldly said, “I, I just wanted to come out and play. I’ll play with you.”

Jing Xingzhi no longer smiled at this moment but put on a stern parental expression. “How did you sneak out?”

“No one was watching, so I just climbed in and hid in the carriage!” Li Jiafu replied obediently while stepping off the carriage.

Zhang Tong quickly reached out and picked up the little prince. As for returning him? They could discuss it later. Since the Fourth Highness had followed him out, Zhang Tong wanted to let them have some fun.

Zhang Tong carried Li Jiafu down and looked at the little prince, who quickly ran to Jing Xingzhi’s side. He smiled and said, “Young Master Jing, why don’t you let His Highness stay for a while, and I’ll go check around.”

“Okay, Master Zhang can come to take the little prince away later.”

Ignoring Zhang Tong, Jing Xingzhi poked Li Jiafu in the face and asked, “No one was watching you at that time? Did you overhear Zhang Tong say that he would come to give me something? Are you playing or staying not far from a place with a carriage? Did you see there’s a place to hide in the carriage, so you stayed and followed all the way here?”

Li Jiafu’s mouth opened in surprise!

His eyes seemed to say – ‘How do you know everything? How did you find out?!’

After being stunned for a moment, Li Jiafu nodded in shock, saying, “Yes, yes.”

Were all adults so powerful? Or was it just him, his junior uncle? How could he be so amazing?

Jing Xingzhi looked at the child and sighed inwardly.

Li Jiafu’s own mother left shortly after giving birth to him. Initially, many childless concubines wanted to raise him, but later they discovered he had a slight stutter, and no one wanted to take him in. After all, if a stutterer couldn’t become emperor, then the one who raised him wouldn’t become the Empress Dowager.
