Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times

Jing Xingzhi felt a little… strange.

Yes, it was strange, he was not familiar with these people. Furthermore, he was led here by Secretary Fang.

From this, it should be possible to see that his identity was different from others, and he wasn’t a properly related with their generation. Although he knew that he was a fake, these people didn’t know his true identity, and there was always a distinction. He thought he would be looked down upon, not being fawned over.

Jing Xingzhi didn’t expect how approachable these new colleagues in the official division would be! The first sentence was to invite him for dinner.

Jing Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a hearty and clean smile: “Chief Zhao invited me, of course I will go. But I have to give you a gift for your full moon, so don’t refuse.”

When Chief Zhao asked, he was quite nervous at first. He felt that Jing Xingzhi must be the son of a big shot, and he was completely different from them. At Jing Xingzhi’s age, he only knows how to fool around, and his legs would shake when he saw an official.

But the news about Jing Xingzhi’s ‘touching a dog makes it smart’ spread too fast. The wife of Chief Zhao disliked her three sons for being too stupid. She couldn’t help but curiously tease the black dog just after confinement, to see if the dog was really smart. This was so funny to the dog and it responded happily; the rumor that the dog had become smart was confirmed!

Madam Zhao wanted to invite Jing Xingzhi to touch her little son’s bald head, even though the child didn’t have much hair now. But he could become smarter by touching it. Even if it was just a little bit, it was a good thing if he wasn’t a big fool and turning smarter like the black dog!

So, Madam Zhao, who had three idiot sons with Chief Zhao, couldn’t help it when she heard that Jing Xingzhi was coming to the government office, she was so excited that she picked up Chief Zhao’s ear with her small hand. She told him to work hard to invite people over.

The ‘first touch’ from Jing Xingzhi must be her son’s.

That was how Chief Zhao boldly spoke.

Seeing that Jing Xingzhi agreed to come, Chief Zhao’s fat face smiled like a fat winter melon that had split open, revealing the tender and pleasing white flesh inside.

“You don’t need to bring anything, Young Master Jing, just come! This is the habit of our office. They don’t need to bring anything when they come to my house to eat!” Chief Zhao had a good temper and didn’t want to eat the flesh of his subordinates to grow fat.

Anyway, he lived a comfortable life and could gain weight on his own.

Jing Xingzhi agreed to the meal and then received high-level treatment surrounded by winter melons.

He was personally led by Chief Zhao. After the lunch break, he blocked the door and saw almost the entire sixth divisions in one day. Along with it, there were also more comprehensive and detailed personal information, all of which were really good things from the people in the office.

In this way, Jing Xingzhi felt that there were still many good people in the world.

Although yesterday he had watched a family drama involving two lives, but today he also saw the friendly side of the world. Jing Xingzhi remembered a saying that the world might not be as beautiful as imagined, but it wasn’t that bad either, and he believed it.

In the evening.

Jing Xingzhi took two small’s silver anklets to visit Chief Zhao’s house.

In the gold and silver shop, Jing Xingzhi also picked out a very cute gold lock, which was the only one in the shop. When he saw it, he liked it, he planned to buy it as a gift for his baby as a souvenir.

.

Inside the Zhao Family’s House.

Chief Zhao’s graceful wife hugged her over one-month-old fat son and happily said to the other ladies: “My old man’s fat face seems to have some blessing, he could invite Young Master Jing over. Today I have to let Young Master Jing touch the head of my fourth boy tonight! This way, he will be smarter in the future!”

The other lady, who had no hope of getting close to Jing Xingzhi, laughed, and said as if unintentionally: “Oh, where are the three boys of your family? Why didn’t I see them today? They all look strong with their fat arms and legs, which is really good.”

Madam Zhao was very angry. But then she had a flash of inspiration – the dog was not a puppy but an adult one. Could it be, her other three sons also have a chance?

So, Jing Xingzhi walked in and received a warm welcome from three little winter melons (children).

The little winter melons had an honest heart and smiled at Jing Xingzhi without any compromise, truly showing that they were a good child.

However, there was no concealment in their movements and behavior. They all acted very actively and put their heads directly towards him, with words written on their faces – ‘come and touch my head!’

Jing Xingzhi felt strange in his heart. Each small winter melon was killed by a slap on the head, and the three small winter melons left with satisfaction.

Then other children saw what he was doing and ran over. Jing Xingzhi smiled and said nothing, put away his hand, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it.

Since these children wanted him to touch their heads, there must be benefits. Now that he was in the official division, but over here he slapped some heads, he should save his face to learn in the other divisions in the future?

Jing Xingzhi hadn’t guessed the whole reason yet, but he cleverly discovered the clues.

Chief Zhao just carried his youngest son out and saw Jing Xingzhi being surrounded. He immediately called these little guys away and came forward with his little son in his arms and a silly smile.

Jing Xingzhi stretched out a finger to poke the baby’s soft face. Thinking that he was about to have a baby, his heart softened, and he didn’t care about anything else.

He asked readily: “Brother Zhao, why are all these kids asking me to touch their heads? I just touched three of your children, and the other kids gathered around me.”

Hearing Jing Xingzhi’s words, Chief Zhao blushed and said truthfully: “It’s that black dog. It seems to be getting smarter these days. My three children are very sincere, and they want you to pet them to see if they can become smarter.”

Jing Xingzhi: “??”

.

As the favor of his ancestors, he seemed to have developed an incredible field…

Jing Xingzhi smiled and explained: “I think the three young masters are good, and they will get better after they have enlightenment.”

Words and deeds, the three little winter melons and the small baby were modeled after the same model, Chief Zhao. Jing Xingzhi didn’t believe that a smart father who valued his children would really teach his children to be stupid.

Chief Zhao chuckled and said, “I was also naive when I was a child. Later, when I grew up, I gradually became more sensible. Maybe they just follow after me!”

Because of Jing Xingzhi’s ‘special ability’ his speech changed. Furthermore, which parent would really admit that his or her child was stupid? Even if it was a bit naive, that was a good thing. He was honest, hard-working, and willing to work, not stupid.

Jing Xingzhi nodded with a smile, took out the anklet he had bought, and stuffed it into Chief Zhao’s hand: “This is a gift for the child. It’s my first time coming, and I couldn’t prepare anything for the other children. Don’t reject this Chief Zhao.”

When Jing Xing said this, Chief Zhao couldn’t refuse. He could only nod and collect the things, keeping this polite courtesy in his heart.
