Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times

After the young couple had their reunion, they went up to the back mountain on the afternoon of the second day.

Sitting down and drinking tea, Jing Xingzhi thought of Brother Zhuang and asked, “Teacher, why hasn’t Brother Zhuang married someone yet? If you have someone suitable, please introduce them to Brother Zhuang!”

Fang Qichen’s eyes widened. “Does he want to start a family? That’s unlikely. He only likes to work. When I tried to push him, he wasn’t happy.”

Jing Xingzhi said, “Maybe he has been thinking about it now?”

As they were on the boat, Jing Xingzhi didn’t notice anything strange at first. Later, he realized that he had hurt Brother Zhuang’s single heart.

He always talked about his wife and children to a single person and smiled happily. Being able to come back alive was amazing, it was Brother Zhuang’s kindness to him.

If it was him, he would beat up anyone who showed affection toward his single life! Let them knew why the flower were red!

“Huh!” Jing Xingzhi paused, thinking the words sounded familiar. ‘Have I threatened someone like this before? I don’t know who it is. Now I don’t know why it is said the flowers are red.’

‘The correct answer is: If there is blood in the local area, the flower will be red.’

Returning to the topic, Jing Xingzhi expressed his concern for the single Brother Zhuang.

“At his age, there aren’t many people of the right age who can be introduced to Brother Zhuang, so he can only rely on the teacher’s vast resources.”

Fang Qichen shook his head. “Impossible, he won’t be convinced. Let me tell you, as soon as he came back, he said hello and went out to work. There was no need for him to go there in person, but he still rushed to go. Look at him like this, how can I introduce someone?”

Fang Qichen complained. He had actually found someone for Wang Zhuang this time, but Wang Zhuang ran away as soon as he came back. What could he do?

Jing Xingzhi was dubious. “Really?”

But he felt that Brother Zhuang also wanted a family. Could it be that he was mistaken?

‘Maybe the radar of a married man is different from that of a single man?’

Fang Qichen nodded. “Really, more real than gold, more real than pearls.”

Jing Xingzhi believed it and sighed. There was nothing he could do.

“It seems that I might have been mistaken. Brother Zhuang just isn’t used to displays of affection.”

Fang Qichen also sighed. He still hoped to play matchmaker, but it seemed that he could only count on his disciple’s children next year. Wang Zhuang, a man of advanced age who was not quite up to the task, could not be relied upon.

Now, Wang Zhuang, busy outside, felt a little regretful. Why did he run out again?

“I obviously want to find someone to live with, but when I met the chief, I can’t speak up.”

Wang Zhuang looked at the sky and felt a little melancholy.

.

At the academy, Chief Fang Qichen, who missed Wang Zhuang, fell into a daze upon hearing Jing Xingzhi’s thoughts on the greenhouse.

Fang Yaojun was extremely happy. “If we have a greenhouse, we can continue growing bitter melons!”

Jing Xingzhi smiled and nodded. “Your Majesty also gave me several new recipes. Although Your Majesty is far away, he still thinks about Teacher.”

Liu Fang said, “You could build a few at home and eat fresh produce. It wouldn’t cost much.”

Fang Qichen, who had been struck four times in a row, sighed deeply…

Fang Qichen coughed: “Are you tired of eating the same dish every day?”

Why did Jing Xingzhi let the old man eat a bitter melon dish every day? He was just teasing the old man.

He said, “Teacher, don’t worry, we can grow all kinds of vegetables. If we grow them, you can eat them every day.”

Fang Qichen thought to himself, after surviving the winter, he wanted to eat more meat.

But it was also the filial piety of the children. Fang Qichen said, “Anything is fine, but don’t do too much, so as not to damage the forest by cutting down.”

Fang Qichen could see that this greenhouse was similar to the hot spring vegetable patch, both of which could grow out-of-season vegetables and fruits in winter.

The difference was that the hot springs relied on geothermal heat, while this greenhouse used combustion for heat, maintaining the environment for vegetable growth.

The most convenient fuel was wood, costing a few pennies per load, which worried Fang Qichen about hurting the forest.

Liu Fang touched his belly and nodded seriously. Taking care of the nature was a must for harmonious living.

.

After staying at home for a day, Jing Xingzhi took Liu Fang to the town to visit the Wu family the next day.

Wu Weirui was not feeling well these days, so Wu Mingrui didn’t have time to pick up his friend Jing Xingzhi.

Moreover, Wu Weirui’s illness revealed the issue of insufficient manpower in the Fang family.

Fang Yaojun was too young, Liu Fang was pregnant and had difficulty going out, and Fang Qichen was a treasure-level antique, very precious and rare, and honestly not suitable for going out.

So, it was delayed for a few days. This was the first time someone from the Fang family had visited Wu Weirui. Back then someone had brought some good medicine.

At Wu family’s gate,

Wu Mingrui picked up the couple himself.

Wu Mingrui thought of his mother’s improved condition and said, “Thank you for your trouble. My mother’s illness is about to be cured.”

“That’s good. You didn’t pick me up when I was at the dock, I was wondering why you weren’t there. But I heard yesterday that Aunt Wu is sick, so I brought Liu Fang here to have a look today.”

Jing Xingzhi said apologetically, “The old and the young at home should have come here long ago!”

Wu Mingrui waved his hand, “Don’t say any polite words. You are just going through the motions after you came back, but you can’t see my mother! She has been ill for a few days and feels that she looks bad and refuses to see people.”

Wu Weirui drove away her husband, and her life became happier. In her free time, she made nail polish, went shopping, felt comfortable and happy, and learned to please herself more and more.

Wu Mingrui laughed helplessly as he talked about his mother’s temper. However, there was a smile on his face, showing that he was very satisfied.

Wu Mingrui was very comfortable staying at home now, and he didn’t feel the pain at all, like back then when he was still married.

Liu Fang asked, “Can I meet Aunt Wu?” He thought to himself, since he wasn’t a stranger, he should be able to do it, right?

Wu Mingrui shook his head and looked at his friend, “I’m sorry sister-in-law, but if you insist to go in and see my mother. My mother will drive you away, especially with your body like this, my mother might send you off herself!”

Jing Xingzhi laughed and held Liu Fang’s hand, “Then, in order not to be kicked out, we should see Aunt Wu next time!”

It was not easy to be pregnant, Liu Fang sighed.

Jing Xingzhi sat down and chatted with Wu Mingrui. The two scholars had been preparing for the exam next year, so they inevitably talked about various topics.

Liu Fang felt it was really boring, so he took the people to the village shop in the town, leaving Jing Xingzhi to wait for him to pick him up at Wu family’s house.

.

The two students had a chat, and Jing Xingzhi sighed, “Going out is too much of a delay in studying. I feel like my level has dropped.”

Wu Mingrui said, “Stop it. Your journey was still big luck! If it were anyone else, they would never leave the capital.”

“Well, actually I didn’t mean it like this, it was the teacher. I just came back and there was a lot more homework to do,” Jing Xingzhi sighed.

He only used bitter melon to scare the old man, but the old man really gave him homework. Damn old man, very unkind!

When Wu Mingrui heard the mention of Chief Fang, he immediately thought of the daughter of the Fang family.

Wu Mingrui asked his friend uncomfortably, “Xingzhi, um…, how is Yaojun?”

“Good.”

Wu Mingrui persisted, “I have something, let’s see if it works…”

“No.” Jing Xingzhi cruelly refused, and then said, “Unless you go through my new homework with me.”

Chief Fang’s homework was really not made by humans.

Wu Mingrui didn’t know how difficult it was. His face turned bitter, and he gritted his teeth and nodded, “Okay.”

Jing Xingzhi was happy. There were so many questions, and it was only fun to do them together!

Jing Xingzhi patted Brother Mingrui on the shoulder happily, “Friendship live forever, this question will definitely answer your questions!”
