Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 61 - II



Finally understanding the origin of ‘touching the head’ Jing Xingzhi watched the child’s full moon bathing ceremony at Zhao’s house and left after eating.

On the way back, Jing Xingzhi discussed with Wang Zhuang, “Brother Zhuang, if I want to rent a house near the government office, is this feasible?”

He wanted to move out.

Wang Zhuang frowned: “I should be able to find it, but the place is definitely not as comfortable as the Cheng family.”

Cheng Wei was a descendant of the old family with good money, and his living conditions were not bad. Even the furnishings in the room where he lived were of high quality.

Jing Xingzhi smiled: “Brother Zhuang, living alone is truly comfortable. Since you can find one, please find one.”

With that said, Jing Xingzhi took out a five hundred tael of banknotes and handed it to Wang Zhuang.

Wang Zhuang took one hundred taels: “These are too much, unless you want to buy them.”

“That’s not necessary. It’s hard to control when I buy a house in Hannan Prefecture.” Jing Xingzhi took back the remaining banknotes. They didn’t live in Hannan Prefecture permanently, so there was no need to buy a house in Hannan Prefecture.

Even if he wanted to buy it, Hanbei Prefecture was more suitable. Although Hanbei Prefecture was not as prosperous as Hannan Prefecture, it was his hometown.

Wang Zhuang acted quickly and found a suitable house on the second day so that the whole group could live comfortably. In addition, the place was also very close to the government office.

After working on the second day of work and recognizing almost all the people in the government office, Jing Xingzhi bothered Cheng Wei for the first time.

.

The main courtyard of the Cheng family was white with sadness.

Cheng Wei tied a white cloth on his sleeves and sat in the study rubbing his forehead. He had something on his mind last night and couldn’t sleep all night.

Enduring the dull pain in his head, Cheng Wei asked, “Xingzhi, what do you want from me? How is the office?”

“My condolences, Master Cheng.” Jing Xingzhi said this for the second time.

But this time, Cheng Wei nodded. After the moment of rage, what was left was full of sadness and discomfort. Whether he thought of Xu Zhongqi or Cheng Yule, it made him feel painful.

“Right now, there is something busy in the house. Xingzhi wants to move out of the house so as not to cause trouble to Brother Cheng.”

Jing Xingzhi glanced at Cheng Wei and said, “Everyone in the official division is very nice. Xingzhi has already remembered everyone. I’m going to move to a household division tomorrow.”

“Yeah, that’s fine. Although I don’t think you’re causing trouble, I’m afraid you won’t be comfortable living there. But it’s more important that you live comfortably.” Cheng Wei smiled, showing that he didn’t care.

“As for which division you want to go to, you can make up your own mind. Secretary Fang will lead you there. They won’t treat you lightly.” Cheng Wei had been so busy lately that he couldn’t even care about the scene.

After saying a few words in a hurry, Jing Xingzhi said goodbye and walked out of Cheng Wei’s study.

.

Jing Xingzhi walked out along the hollow corridor of flowers and trees, while Cheng Huan lowered his head and rushed inside.

When Jing Xingzhi saw someone coming to collide with him, he got out of the way. But when he saw Cheng Huan was about to hit the pillar at the corner, Jing Xingzhi reached out and gave him a hand to slow down the person’s movement.

Cheng Huan paused and looked at the pillar very close in front of him with a confused expression.

In fact, he had been in a dazed state for two days, ever since he saw Xu Zhongqi being discovered and begged for Cheng Wei.

His mother was dead…

His mother was so powerful and managed the backyard like an iron bucket, how could she die?

Cheng Huan rolled his eyes and looked at Jing Xingzhi, and then there was a burst of hatred in his eyes, as if all the pain and helplessness had found the source!

——It was the one surnamed Jing! It was Jing Xingzhi who took the dog and found the nine fingers!

It was the appearance of this person that made him lose his sense of proportion and ordered his mother’s servant to throw the extra finger into the Zhixin Courtyard in anger.

If it hadn’t been for the appearance and troublesome person named Jing Xingzhi, none of the accidents would have happened! His mother wouldn’t die either!

There was hatred in Cheng Huan’s eyes, and he was so young. It was almost as if hatred was written naked on his face, as if fire was about to spit out from his nose and mouth.

Jing Xingzhi found it a bit funny.

Xu Zhongqi was patient and meticulous in her work. She even dared to murder Cheng Yule in daylight and was confident that she could do it thoroughly, so she would definitely not make a mistake in choosing the person.

The only step that could go wrong was after the murderer removed the finger, someone intervened and threw one of the ten fingers into Jing Xingzhi’s yard.

It was clear who the person who could control the people Xu Zhongqi trusted, there was no one except Cheng Huan.

Jing Xingzhi knew it, but Cheng Wei didn’t. He was an insider and somehow suspected that Cheng Huan was a little weird. Logically speaking, Cheng Huan should be more honest and low-key here, so as not to waste his mother’s thoughts.

And what did Jing Xingzhi do to deserve this kid looking at him with such eyes like he wanted to kill him…?

It was obviously the naughty kid’s own fault, wasn’t it? Jing Xingzhi really didn’t understand.

Jing Xingzhi glanced at him and said calmly: “Keep your eyes open as you walk. You have to go around some things like these pillars; otherwise, you’ll easily hit your head.”
