Xie Yunjin snapped back to reality. He looked at the beautiful woman before him and for a short moment, he wanted to grab her hands and gently say, “Jiaojiao, let’s spend the rest of our lives together. I will treat you well.” Reason rushed back in at the last moment and reminded him that it wasn’t the time yet.
Xie Yunjin smiled, “It’s late and you’re exhausted. Go to bed.”
Xie Yunjin marched away. Lu Jiao recalled his frustrated expression just seconds ago and found it to be so strange. What happened there?
It was true that she was exhausted though. She went to take a bath and comfortably went to her room to sleep.
Before going to bed, however, she visited her space. In her space, she had harvested the herbs that bloomed. The good ones that could produce seeds were saved by her. The poorly grown ones had been uprooted. She also planted new herbs in her space and everything was looking healthy and well.
She wondered if the land she asked Zhao Lingfeng for was ready. If so, she wanted to go check it out and decide what would be good to grow there.
The three businesses required a huge amount of raw materials. She had to decide what to plant based on the conditions of the soil. Lu Jiao did think of a problem though… She should find someone to look after her land. Where was she going to find that person?
The next morning, Lu Jiao told the four little ones that she was going to take them to go and buy studying supplies. The four little ones were over the moon and excitedly discussed all the stuff they wanted to buy.
When Xie Yunjin came, they were still discussing.
“Mommy said we should buy lots of books to put on the shelves. Then, we can take turns reading them.
“I want mommy to write me a story about being the greatest general. You know? Where I am the general? I want mommy to write about how great I am at defeating the bad guys.”
‘l’ne second Born excitedly gestured around as It ne was gomg to be a general soon.
The Third and Fourth Born exchanged glances and reminded him, “Mommy said if you don’t study, you can only be a small soldier who holds the general’s horses. You haven’t studied so you can’t be a general yet. You can only pretend to be a soldier who holds horses right now.”
“That’s right. Only once you’re a scholar can you become a general. You cannot do that right now.”
The Second Born was very unhappy that the others were so discouraging. He glared at his brothers, “If I’m not general, who is? Are you going to act as the general? Let’s fight and see who deserves the role more!”
Xie Yunjin was walking over with Lin Dong. When he heard the four little ones, he angrily scolded, “What are you shouting about so early in the morning?”
The Second Born ran to Xie Yunjin and complained, “Daddy, I want to act as a general, but they keep saying I’m only good enough to be a soldier who tames horses. I don’t want that!”
From outside, Lu Jiao, Feng Zhi, and aunt Qiu came in with breakfast. When they heard the Second Born, Lu Jiao giggled, “Son, you’re so obsessed with becoming a general.”
She then said to the First, Second, and Third Born, “We should let him act like a general so he can let it out of his system. That way, he’ll study even harder afterward.’
The First, Second, and Third Born thought about it and then agreed, “Okay, then you can be the general.”
The Second Born was ecstatic and rushed to Lu Jiao, “Mommy, when can we start acting?!”
LU Jiao smiled, “After we organize your rooms and buy all the supplies.”
The Second Born smiled.
Xie Yunjin asked, “Are you taking the children shopping today?”
Lu Jiao nodded, “The plan was to go yesterday but we couldn’t go. Today, I have nothing planned but to take them shopping.”
Xie Yunjin instantly offered, “Then I will go with you.”
Lu Jiao declined. The exam was coming up soon. Since Xie Yunjin accepted the money as a tutor, he should focus on teaching.
“That’s okay. You should teach the students. Since you were paid for it, you should work hard to avoid criticism.”
Xie Yunjin thought she was right.
“Okay, then bring a few extra people who can help you. Lu Gui, Feng Zhi, you guys tag along. Take Lin Dong as well. Lin Xi is still sick and can’t do much yet.” Lu Jiao was also worried about the four little ones and agreed, “Okay.”
After breakfast, Xie Yunjin reminded the four little ones to listen to Lu Jiao well and not to run around too much. Since there were four of them, their mother wouldn’t be able to take care of all of them if they ran around separately.
The four little ones promised, “Daddy, don’t worry, we won’t run around.”
The First Born even vowed with a serious face, “Daddy, I will keep an eye on them.”
What a mature child.
Xie Yunjin felt better. Lu Jiao worried he might nag endlessly and took the children away quickly. At the same time, she waved for Lu Gui and Feng Zhi to come.
Xie Yunjin found her impatience funny and sent them out.
Uncle Lin had prepared the carriage already. Lu Jiao, Lu Gui, and Feng Zhi got in with the four children while Lin Dong sat behind the horse.
Xie Yunjin watched them and found this to be too crowded. He thought that they should get another horse carriage for convenience.
A horse carriage was easy to get, but they’d need another coachman. He will discuss this with Lu Jiao later.
As Xie Yunjin pondered, the Su family’s gate suddenly swung open. Lady Xu’s sister-in-law, Chen Zhaodi, leaned against the door and grimly stared at Xie Yunjin. She looked just like a housewife who had lots to complain about.
Xie Yunjin’s gaze cooled and he picked up his feet to walk to his rented study place. When he passed the Su manor, he didn’t acknowledge Chen Zhaodi. Chen Zhaodi couldn’t help but wail, “Hey, scholar Xie, we are neighbors, how can you not say hi?!”
Xie Yunjin ignored her and left.
Chen Zhaodi was furious and wanted to curse Lady Xu to take it out on her. Her husband, however, lost it before she did.
“You b!tch! No wonder you keep staying by the gate every day! You’re trying to seduce scholar Xie! You think your husband is dead already?!”
Su Dahai’s little brother, Su Hua, was rough around the edges. He liked hooking up with different women but didn’t allow his wife to look at other men. At first, he didn’t notice strange behaviors from his wife, but Lady Xu tattletaled. Su Hua didn’t believe it at first. But when he ran out, he caught his wife trying to seduce that scholar red-handed.
Su Hua was so angry he couldn’t even think.. He leaped over and started to hit Chen Zhaodi, “You’re trying to cheat on me?! How gutsy are you to try that on me?! B!TCH! I’m going to beat you to death today!”
