Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times - Chapter 76
Jing Xingzhi thought to himself, ‘Although you started out as my teacher, I didn’t know you actually want to be my father.’
But Jing Xingzhi’s expression fell in Fang Qichen’s eyes as a surprised one. It was his young disciple who had heard his thoughtful words, he was shocked and moved, and was so excited and happy that he couldn’t speak.
Okay, he had been thinking about this too.
Fang Qichen moved his hand away from the back of Jing Xingzhi’s hand, moved it to Jing Xingzhi’s shoulder, patted it twice, and smiled kindly: “Hey, wake up! I don’t want a stupid son.”
Jing Xingzhi looked at his smile, slowly adjusted his brain, and climbed onto Fang Qichen’s brain circuit track.
The old man had asked him to read the letter and said that he could be his father. The Marquis Zhenyuan in the letter was such a scumbag; he guessed the old man was trying to comfort him.
What a nice old man.
‘But you look like you are about the same age as my grandfather… I couldn’t call you daddy.’
Jing Xingzhi was a little helpless, he might be able to call out grandpa. But if he called him grandpa, he would get beaten, right?
Jing Xingzhi, who didn’t want to be beaten, had no choice but to blink and keep his stupid expression.
But he didn’t expect, it actually made Fang Qichen’s heart melt.
Look, what a good kid, he was so happy!
Then Fang Qichen’s hand moved again.
His hands moved along with Jing Xingzhi body. The old man stood up slightly, stretched his hands behind Jing Xingzhi, and hugged Jing Xingzhi tenderly.
Being gently patted on the back by a big hand, Jing Xingzhi held the old man’s hand and stunned.
‘Is this… coaxing a child’
But with such coaxing, who didn’t want to be a child?
How happy it was to be a child, to be coaxed, cared for, and raised by others. Not to mention the old man could be a short-term protector, which was beautiful to think about.
But it was just too much, Jing Xingzhi couldn’t stand it anymore.
Jing Xingzhi spoke hesitantly, his voice trembling slightly: “Where could I find a meal recipe for black hair…”
Fang Qichen’s hand froze, then slapped Jing Xingzhi on the head with a casserole-sized hand, and begun to beat the child.
The old man laughed and scolded: “You, stinky brat! Get out! Get out of my place!”
Jing Xingzhi held his head and run away like a rat.
Fang Qichen didn’t leave, but sat on the chair. After Jing Xingzhi slipped away, the old man frowned and asked Wang Zhuang, who had returned to him: “Do I look old?”
After asking, before Wang Zhuang could reply, he added, “That’s right. Yaojun also calls me daddy. Why couldn’t he do the same?”
Wang Zhuang said with a smile: “I think Young Master Jing can’t do it, he’s too shy.”
“Hmph! “Fang Qichen shook his beard and said, “If I didn’t know he is a good child, I wouldn’t have said this. I’m happy to be his father, but he’s still embarrassed…”
Although he felt the little disciple deserved to be scolded occasionally, Fang Qichen still recognized his little disciple’s decision. Moreover, Fang Qichen also had his own family behind him. If he changed his mind, it would have caused countless troubles.
.
On the other side, Jing Xingzhi returned home and gulped down two cups of tea.
Then he glanced at Liu Fang and sighed: “I am such a prodigal son.”
Liu Fang: “?!”
Liu Fang was shocked, ‘what did you do behind my back?’
But Liu Fang asked warmly: “What’s wrong?”
Jing Xingzhi sighed again: “There are thousands of acres of fertile land in front of me, but I didn’t agree to become a rich man.”
“Speak human words! “Liu Fang broke open the pine nuts in his hand and threw the nuts into Jing Xingzhi’s mouth.
Jing Xingzhi chewed the pine nuts twice and said seriously: “The old man asked me to call him daddy. I thought as a son, I would inherit the family business. The little wealth he saved should be used as a dowry for Yaojun!”
“Then…” Liu Fang answered.
“Then… there is no then, I didn’t agree. “Jing Xingzhi circled Liu Fang from behind, put his head on Liu Fang’s shoulder, and said plausibly: “I just missed the opportunity to become a rich man. I am really a prodigal bastard.”
Liu Fang peeled the pine nuts and fed them to Jing Xingzhi. While feeding him, he said, “It’s good if you don’t want to chew others. I can raise you!” However, this might not necessarily be the best way. In this era, it was still very good for a girl to have a brother.
“If you get adopted, Yaojun will have a real brother, she will have more confidence in her natal family when she gets married in the future. It’s just… it’s a bit troublesome to change your surname.”
Jing Xingzhi peeled a pine nut and fed him back, then said with a smile: “Even if I don’t call the old man daddy, I will still care about the little girl. If I don’t care about that little girl, you’ll probably be angry!”
“So that’s it, we already know what the teacher wants. “Liu Fang summed it up simply. His mouth was filled with the oily and salty taste of pine nuts.
Jing Xingzhi smiled and gently touched Liu Fang’s belly: “We are going to be fathers soon.”
Liu Fang lowered his head and nodded seriously. They were people without a “father”, and he hoped they could be good “fathers”.
