The Blessed

Rarely they stood on the same side. The whole family couldn’t help laughing. About the juren thing, they all held the same thought. If one said it was only his sheer luck to get listed as a tongsheng. It couldn’t be his sheer luck to get listed as s linsheng now, right? Facts proved that their Jinghan had real ability! So they all believed that he could create greater glories!

"Dad, you are all so short-sighted. I think maybe our Jinghan has a chance to get the xieyuan title!”

So-called xieyuan title is the first place during the autumn exams, then it is huiyuan and zhuangyuan. Huiyuan is the first place of spring exams, while zhuangyuan is the first place during the palace exmas His Majesty personally nominated. Ling Jingxuan clearly remembered that when Chu Yunhan left, he once said given Jinghan’s qualifications, getting listed as a juren might not be a difficulty thing, not even a jinshi, although still had a distance from the zhuangyuan title. But he personally thought that xieyuan shouldn’t be a hard thing for Jinghan.

"That’d be the best! It’d be better if he gets listed as a huiyuan and even zhuangyuan!”

Ling Chenglong had obviously gotten self-inflated. Ling Jingxuan and Ling Jinghan couldn’t help laughing.

“I will try my best. As for the huiyuan and zhuangyuan title, maybe I will consider it later. Dad, I’m only fifteen years old. Whether I could pass the exams for jinshi title is still hard to say. So, we’d better put more focus on things before eyes.”

If possible, who wouldn’t want it? But he had self-knowledge. Compared with the sons of those big families, he still had a huge gap to fill. Suddenly Yan Shengrui’s words popped out of his head before Yan left. If he could get enrolled into the Imperial Academy, maybe he still had a chance.

"Look at what you are talking about! Only talking bullshit after getting drunk! Our son already has a lot of pressure. Don’t increase his burden again!”

Hearing that, Lady Wang threw her husband a hard stare, while Ling Chenggong gave a silly laugh. Lady Wang helplessly shook her head, then turned to Ling Jinghan, “Don’t listen to your dad’s bullshit. Take one step a time. Even if you fail the autumn exams, it’s fine. You are still young and got another chance three years later.”

She was already satisfied with the linsheng title of their son.

"Yes, mom, I know."

Ling Jinghan obediently nodded, but in his heart he already set his target at the juren title. After what his big brother said, he even set his target at the xiuyuan title. He swore he’d earn the honor for his big brother!

"Daddy, I will definitely pass the most difficult one for you!"

At the whole family was talking and laughing, Ling Wen suddenly said with his big round eyes wide opened. Everyone’s eyes instantly focused on him. Ling Jingxuan raised a hearty smile, “OK. I will wait for that day. Then you could take the official career and marry a beautiful wife, then daddy will be even happier!”

Knowing his son's aspirations, Ling Jingxuan also did not forget to encourage him, although he personally felt that being an official was really not as good as being a rich landlord.

"Hmm, I promise I'll find a nice and obedient wife to be filial to you."

Ling Wen nodded earnestly. On the other side, Ling Wu quickly grabbed his daddy's arm to draw his attention to him, "Daddy, my wife is Brother Yan, and he will be more filial to you."

After several months, he was still thinking about marrying him. So stubborn! Ling Jingxuan couldn’t help feeling amused as he rubbed his head, "If you can really marry Yan’er, then I feel much relieved. But, before that, shouldn’t my small bun study harder? No one will like you if you only keep sniveling all day.”

What Ling Jingxuan did not say was that, no matter who they married, they would still live in the imperial palace in the future. In the eyes of outsiders, his son would definitely marry the emperor.

"I didn’t! I haven’t cried for a long time. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Uncle Yi. A few days ago, when I fell off the tree when practicing lightness skills, I even didn’t cry!”

Hearing that, the small bun instantly defended himself. He is a tough man! How could he leave others the impression of a crybaby? Thinking of this, the small bun frowned as he tried to think back if he had ever cried before his beloved Brother Yan. He didn’t want Brother Yan to think he is unreliable.

"Don't think about it. More than once."

"Daddy!”

"Ha ha..."

With one glance, Ling Jingxuan knew what he was thinking, so he directly exposed him. The small bun instantly got his face long enough to touch the ground. The whole family couldn’t help laughing out. But the joyful atmosphere was instantly gone after Ling Chenghu came. Seeing Ling Chenghu coming in behind Old Zhou, everyone’s smile froze on the face.

“What is going on?”

Ling Jingxuan turned around and threw a severe look at Old Zhou, while the latter knew he did it kind of unproperly, so he hurriedly replied with a trembling tone, “Master Xuan, he said the old xiucai is dying and wants to see you for one last time.”

Hearing that, instead of showing any sad expression, they all showed a face of disgust. Their intuition told them that the old Ling family was trying to play some tricks again. Otherwise, why was the old man getting worse right after their Jinghan got a linsheng title?

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, our father is really dying! Go take a look! Or it’d be late!”

Seeing that, Ling Chenghu said anxiously. Now, he finally understood the feelings of being distrusted.

Seeing that it was like he was lying, Ling Chenglong and his wife who were still too kind instantly had no idea what to do. Ling Jingxuan lowered his eyes and said nothing. And the old Wang couple shouldn’t comment on such a thing. So, finally Ling Jingxuan said, “If so, we’ll go take a look.”

He could let it go if it was true. If not, don’t blame him for sending him to another world for real!
