Quick Travel: Jing Yuan's Wanderings

Chapter 157 Exile Cannon Fodder Father 5

The master and his servant walked quickly all the way. As soon as they approached the yard, the servant guarding the door came forward with a smile and bowed to them.

"I am Xie Yi, your servant. I am honored to meet you, old master. The master is waiting for you in the main hall!"

"Ah."

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan nodded slightly in response, then walked to the main hall with his chin raised.

Hearing the noise, Jing Cheng quickly put down the book in his hand and stood up to greet his father.

"Dad, are you looking for me?"

As he said this, he took two steps at a time, bent sideways, and took the arm of his father, who looked very energetic, into the main hall and sat down.

He waved his hand to let the servants leave, sat aside, and looked at his father with a smile:

"Dad, Yun Ran told me that you have something to talk to me about?"

"Why, I can't find you if I have nothing to do?"

“How can that be possible?

Isn't this asking Yun Ran, Yun Ran didn't say anything, and he was a little curious for a moment? "

“Your wife is a good one!

Today, I specifically asked Madam Jiang to send me one thousand taels of silver notes.

Let me have a good stroll around Beijing and buy whatever I want.

Much better than you.

I have never seen you give me so much money.

“Husband and wife are one, whatever Yun Ran gives you is what I give you.

I was able to marry such a good daughter-in-law like Yun Ran, thanks to my father, who raised his son to be so excellent."

"Ah!

I think he is just shameless and always flatters himself. "

"Hehe...it's better than being so thin-skinned that you can only stick to the grass."

"You are so old, but you still talk nonsense. You have already started a family and a career, but you are still so unstable."

"Isn't this in front of Dad?

By the way, Dad, you haven't told me what you want to talk to me about yet?"

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan rolled his eyes at the cheap son who had married and forgotten his father.

His face turned serious and he got down to business.

"First, it's about the division of the family..."

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted as soon as he started talking.

“Separation?

Didn’t you say yesterday that you wouldn’t separate?

Why did it change again..."

Under the stern gaze of his father, Jing Cheng smiled awkwardly, slapped his mouth lightly with his right hand, and shut up decisively.

I am particularly talkative in front of relatives and friends. This is a bad habit that I should change.

"This morning, your elder and second brothers have signed the documents for the division of the family property.

You also know that for so many years, my family has been tightening its belt to support you in the imperial examinations, and we haven't saved any wealth.

The old house at home will be given to you after I die.

There is nothing else.

Ugh……

Whenever I think of the past, Dad always feels a little uncomfortable.

The year you passed the imperial examination, your brother was already 20 years old and had just gotten married.

In the village, every family of your eldest brother’s age has children crawling on the ground.

Your second brother is the same. He has been married for several years but has not been able to conceive a child. It's because he has a weak constitution and is in very poor health.

For you, Dad, I really feel sorry for your elder and second brothers!"

Perhaps it was the lingering emotions of the original owner that made tears well up involuntarily in his eyes when he said this.

“Dad, don’t worry.

I will always remember how kind you and my elder and second brothers have been to me.

From now on, as long as I am of use to you, I will definitely not refuse."

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan wiped his eyes.

“There’s no need to be so full of yourself.

If they dare to take advantage of your power to bully men and women and bring disaster to the village, you should just kill them for the sake of justice.

This is also the reason why we are dividing the family now, so that they won't do anything wrong and become a burden to you.

You have finally passed the imperial examination and become an official. Your father is counting on you to bring honor to the family.

Of course, there is another meaning. There are many noble families under the feet of the emperor, and it is not easy to be an official in the capital.

It’s better that the family is divided. After the New Year, your elder and second brothers will return to their hometown to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of you.

Furthermore, there are many cases where officials are convicted and their entire family or even clan is implicated.

You should understand this.”

Jing Cheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this, it turned out that the older you are, the wiser you are.

My father was very thoughtful.

But it's a bit too comprehensive.

"What's that look in your eyes?

After all, your father had received some elementary education and attended a private school for a few years.

If your grandfather's medical treatment hadn't drained out all the family savings, your father would have been able to pass the imperial examination and become a juren.

Otherwise, who do you think you inherited your talent for studying from?"

Jing Cheng touched his nose and lowered his head in shame.

After so long, he almost forgot that it was his father who taught him step by step when he was three years old!

It really deserves a beating!

"Thank you five!"

"exist!"

Xie Wu, who was waiting in the corridor, ran a few steps to the door, bent his waist and stood sideways, waiting for instructions.

"Go and get the documents on the division of the family property, writing materials and ink from Indonesia."

"Yes."

In less than a minute, Xie Wu came in carrying all the things.

He put the things on the table and left very tactfully.

Jing Cheng stood up, picked up the document of family division and read it carefully, then picked up the pen and wrote down his name, and then solemnly pressed his thumbprint on his name.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan took advantage of the opportunity and, using his sleeve as a cover, took out a tube of colorless and odorless reagent from the system warehouse and quietly poured it into his adopted son's cup.

He then picked up the teapot and filled it with water.

"Now that you have signed, come over and have a drink of water. Dad has another thing to say."

Jing Cheng didn't doubt anything else and drank it in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan smiled in a somewhat obscene way. Bah, that was an inappropriate word. It should be said that he smiled in a somewhat mysterious way.

"Dad, tell me what's going on? Your son is listening!"

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan then repeated in great seriousness the Jing family's ancestral precepts, which prohibited taking concubines and not recognizing children born out of wedlock.

"Dad, don't worry. In this life, I only recognize Yun Ran.

When I proposed to her, I promised my father-in-law that I would never be straying from her in this life.

A gentleman's word is as good as his bond, and a real man cannot go back on his word and do something disloyal and unfilial. "

"Okay, I can't convince you with all your principles.

In short, just remember that if you dare to take a concubine and have illegitimate children, you will be listed on a separate page of the family tree. The Old Jing family does not want unfilial descendants who do not obey the ancestral teachings. "

"My son doesn't dare."

“The courage is not determined by words, but by actions.

Come on, it’s getting late, go and accompany your wife. I’ll go back to my room and lie down to rest my feet.”

"Dad, how about I stay and have dinner with you?"

"No need. Daddy will be more comfortable dining alone."

"Then my son will take his leave first."

"let's go!"

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan waved his hand and drove them away with a smile on his face.

Looking at the back of her adopted son walking away, she hummed a song silently in her heart.

Tomorrow is a good day, everything you dream of will come true!
