Stretching his back, Shao Yunan rubbed his neck, making a particular person immediately give him a light squeeze. “Tired, right?”
“Well, my throat is dry.” The other person immediately brought him another cup of chrysanthemum tea. Shao Yunan took it and drank it down in three gulps. Burping after drinking the tea, he asked, “Elder Cen and big brother, they won’t stay up all night, right?”
Wang Shijing took the empty cup from Shao Yunan’s hand and said, “Most likely. The things you said are enough to make them crazy for a while.” After a pause, Wang Shijing cautiously asked, “Wife, you really don’t want to become official?” After another pause, he avoided Shao Yunan’s upward gaze and said, “Wife is so powerful, it would be enough to become a prime minister.”
“Pfft!” Shao Yunan burst out laughing. “Do you want me to go?” Wang Shijing looked away slightly. “Wife can go wherever you want. I will not stop you.”
“Come on.” Shao Yunan cupped Wang Shijing’s face with both hands and made him look at him. “Do you really want me to become an official?”
Wang Shijing pursed his lips, his attitude immediately changing. “No.” If his wife became an official, he would be even less worthy of his wife. Shao Yunan grinned. “I knew you were just saying it like this. Don’t worry, I would be crazy to become an official of ancient people. Every day going to court?”
Wang Shijing’s one eye immediately shone as he hugged his wife tighter. “Well, I knew you didn’t like our officials here.”
“And what if I were to become an official?” Pinching Wang Shijing’s face, Shao Yunan asked with a wicked smile. Wang Shijing immediately took on the attitude of a family head in all seriousness. “I won’t let my wife go.”
“How come you won’t let me?” Wang Shijing lowered his head and whispered in Shao Yunan’s ear. Shao Yunan took hold of his arm and scolded with a smile, “Old pervert!” Having had enough, Wang Shijing couldn’t help but ask, “Wife, you recited so many writings from your place today, but what is your intention?”
Shao Yunan nodded and said, “There are things in the space that we can’t let see the light of day for the rest of our lives, but there are also some things that I really want to take out. The era you are now living in is too backward in every aspect. If nothing else, the books in the space are invaluable to you.” Wang Shijing nodded vigorously. “Yes! I plan to take a good look at those books when I’m free.”
Shao Yunan said, “When I came to this world, I just wanted to leave something behind. Aircraft and cannons cannot be left behind, but these books and advanced cultural knowledge are the best wealth I can leave behind. Also, if we take these books out, we don’t have to hide when we teach Qing and Nizi in the future. In addition, it could also be another of our family’s security considerations.”
“I know how to make tea and wine, but in this world, it’s difficult to reach a higher status with that alone. Even if I get the attention of the Empress and the Emperor, to them, I’m just a farmer’s son who can earn money. This tea and wine making craft is also not something I can hide forever. The most direct way for the Emperor to get it is simply to issue an imperial decree to ask me to hand it over, then how could I not hand it over? In fact, there is no protection for our family and it is easy to attract trouble instead.”
Wang Shijing held Shao Yunan’s hand and nodded his head heavily. “First of all, regardless of whether the spiritual milk and spiritual spring can cure the Empress, even if they can, we may be able to have one more backer, but there will also be more danger. So many imperial doctors couldn’t cure the Empress, but I was able to cure him with solid paste. Just how do you think these powerful people will treat us?”
Wang Shijing replied, “At least those who don’t want the Empress’ health to be well, will see us as a thorn in their side.”
“Right! Therefore, the more backers our family has, the better. Preferably so many, that even a big powerhouse like the Duke household will not dare to touch us easily, so our family could stay safe. So even if the Emperor wanted to make a move, he would have to weigh the consequences.”
“I will listen to you!”
Shao Yunan said, “Elder Cen is now our backer, but Elder Cen already left the court after all. Although Big Brother has Elder Weng behind him, he is still just a county magistrate and due to the relationship between Big Brother and us, he will only encounter more trouble and danger than us in the future. But since we donated so much money to General Dai, if he is really like you say, then he will definitely return our grace and the Dai family will be more or less grateful to you and me. Since there is also some relationship between the Empress and the Dai family, it means that we have some involvement with the Dai family.”
Wang Shijing nodded his head. “If I take these books to Elder Cen, he will definitely take them to Elder Weng. With the status of the two of them in the Great State of Yan’s education and political circles, that valuable knowledge will definitely spread widely. So, Elder Weng will definitely give us favor, not to mention give more face to Big Brother.”
“Definitely!”
“We earn money for the Emperor and give him such valuable cultural resources. Not to mention giving him advice on the development of his kingdom, if we could also cure the Empress so he could have a child, unless the Emperor was stupid, he would definitely keep our family safe. Together with Elder Weng and the Dai family, it will definitely keep our family safe.”
Wang Shijing nodded his head repeatedly. “In the future, we will take out our good vegetable seeds to increase food production and the variety of vegetables, and solve the problem of food and clothing here. I dare not say that the Emperor will treat us like a bodhisattva, but he certainly will not dare to neglect us. At that time, our family will be able to achieve real peace. As long as we consider the future path for Wang Qing and Wang Nizi, our family will really have no worries.”
Wang Shijing hugged Shao Yunan. “Wife is too thoughtful. I will listen to you, since I am stupid and can’t think so far. I will do what you say.” Shao Yunan liked Wang Shijing’s obedience and said, “I’m going to pick some of those thread-bound books and give them to Elder Cen, so we’ll explain the origin of those books.”
Wang Shijing listened to him.
The three students stayed at Shao Yunan’s house for three days before reluctantly leaving. For one thing, they were not familiar with Shao Yunan, so it was not appropriate to live in other people’s homes for a long time. Secondly, it was the Chinese New Year period so they couldn’t stay at other people’s houses when they still had things to do at their own homes. But before they left, they all expressed their desire to come and visit when they had time, and Shao Yunan enthusiastically agreed.
These three days, Kang Rui also did not leave and had the intention to stay temporarily. Since Shao Yunan was casual and there were empty rooms at home, Wang Qing just gained an additional teacher. Wang Qing was also very righteous, so after obtaining the consent of his two fathers and Elder Cen, he called Wang Yan and Zhao Congbo to his home, so that they could also listen to the debates between his young father, Elder Cen, his two uncle Jiangs, and the three scholars students. Just listening to their debate could increase knowledge. Even Wang Nizi listened to one or two debates a day and then followed Madam Cen to learn zither from her and the rules of a lady’s manners. Whenever this was happening, Jiang Moxi would sit quietly on the sidelines, listening to the zither, as he contained the battle with the Rubik’s Cube. He was already on the eight level.
