Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 134

Chapter 134: His Royal Highness Cheng is Coming

The return of Chen Xiao Mai made Yuan Bao very excited.

As soon as Chen Xiao Mai came back, Yuan Bao threw himself at Chen Xiao Mai and screamed with excitement.

Chen Xiao Mai seemed to be touched too. He screamed together with Yuan Bao. Then they rolled on the ground like two dogs.

Lu Lin's heart melted on seeing them rolling and screaming in the sunshine, he appreciated sweet moments like this.

After Chen Xiao Mai came back, Yuan Bao followed Chen Xiao Mai like a shadow, he always sweet-talked Mai into making snacks for him.

Yuan Bao's sweet talks worked great on Chen Xiao Mai, Mai had been busy in the kitchen since he came back.

Lu Lin, on the other hand, seemed to be anxious about this. He was worried that Yuan Bao would become a fat boy if he carried on like this. Lu Lin always thought only babies and kids were supposed to be chubby, but he wasn't that bothered about his kids' appearance.

"Little Uncle, where's that Brother Ji who sneaked into your room? Is he staying in the capital city?"

Chen Xiao Mai nodded and said in disappointment, "Yes, now he is studying in one of the best academies in the capital city."

"Why does he have to go to an academy to study? Father and Second Uncle study at home."

Chen Xiao Mai puffed up his cheeks and said, "I don't know! I heard that good students in the academies will all become successful scholars and officials in the future, perhaps he wants to become a government official.

Yuan Bao gnawed at his fingernails and said, "I have zero interest in studying, those soft writing brushes gives me headaches."

Chen Xiao Mai tilted his head and said, "Yeah! I don't like reading either. Second Brother always forces himself to study, I'm glad no one is forcing me. Maybe Brother Ji is forcing himself to study because his family is poor?"

Yuan Bao nodded and said, "That makes perfect sense, Brother Ji isn't business material, maybe study is his only option."

"Little Uncle, let me ask you a question, will Brother Ji ever come back?"

Chen Xiao Mai nodded and said, "Yes, he said that he would come back to see me when he makes his dream come true."

Lu Lin listened to the conversation between Mai and Yuan Bao for a while, many thoughts whirled around in his mind. 'Ji Yun An told Mai that he would come back for Mai once he made his dream come true, is that a promise or just some casual talk?'

Lu Lin looked at Mai and shook his head. He thought, 'Well, I shouldn't be thinking so much now, they are both so young. We don't want to part with Mai any time soon anyways. Plus Mai is so adorable, I'm sure he will marry well.'

Lu Lin walked away with a grin when Mai and Yuan Bao started to talk about buying an official title for Ji Yun An. He knew that was not going to happen, for influential and privileged families like the Ji Family, reputation was what they valued the most. Of course they wouldn't get involved in buying official posts.

......

Ji Cheng Kang returned to the camp with the 900 taels of silver that Ji Yun An had given him.

Ji Cheng Kang used the 900 taels of silver to improve meals for the soldiers, settle down the veterans and buy more military supplies.

The atmosphere in the camp was much better and everyone worked harder.

Ji Cheng Kang did not expect that he would benefit from his nephew so quickly.
