Chapter 456

Seeing that, Ling Jingxuan was amused. The emperor was only born better than they were, nothing special, but he could understand their shock and awe.

“Hmm, then we’ll go with you.”

Both of them nodded and made the decision. Originally, they were not natives here, so it was not like leaving their long-lived home. Besides, Ling Jingxuan would take their kid away. For the kid’s good, they shouldn’t say no. And then, their whole family wouldn’t separate. It was good. Although, they knew nothing about the capital and their future was still in the mirror. They still had Jingxuan and Jinghan, right? In the future, after Jingpeng married with Miss Ye, maybe their whole family would move into the capital. So, nothing to be afraid of!

“Hehe…That’s good.”

After settling things down of their side, Ling Jingxuan turned his eyes onto Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang, whose body reflectively went stiff, like they were about to get interrogated. Ling Jingxuan nearly couldn’t hold it and laugh out. Leaning against Yan Shengrui, he said, “Don’t be nervous. Qing, the business of Baiyunge, we are half and half. Since Baiyunge belongs to Shengrui, in the future, I also plan to provide unlimited supply of all kinds of designs. So, I will take your share back. You heard me just now. Yang is going to take an official career. So, Qing will take care of all business at home. If you divide your family some day, how to split the money and other properties, that’s your own thing. But you can’t split the shares. If you want to, you can sell all your shares to me, I can pay.”

Ancient times was different from modern times, there were too many reasons about the dispersed ownership in modern times. The most common reasons were like brothers dividing the family or transferring the shares from father to sons…The final result was internal corruptions. But after all, modern times were peaceful times. However hard they fought for the shares, it was a farce in people’s eyes. But things were different in ancient times. For shares, they may kill each other or what. If it hadn’t been that the emperor had such huge family properties, would his sons fight for it at all means? The civilians were the same. Sometimes, having too much money may not be a good thing.

“Cousin, we know what you mean, don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Looking into his eyes, Zhang Qing said prudently. Having been in the business circle for so long, he had become more and more mature and steady, the only thing that had never changed was his respect for Ling Jingxuan.

“Hmm, Yang, don’t think I’m being partial top anyone or try to put my finger in your pie. I’m doing this for your offspring. This winter, you are going to take the exams for tongsheng. Next year, if you pass the exams for xiucai, come to the capital to find me. And study hard in the following two years, try to pass the jinshi exams and win some honor for your mother and elder brother.”

Nodding, Ling Jingxuan turned to the only thirteen years old Zhang Yang, thinking what his mother said during the day, his tone was quite serious. His aunt was a good woman, and he sincerely hoped that his two cousins can let her live a good life, not only on money, but also spiritual satisfaction.

“Thank you, cousin. I will live up to your expectations and be admitted as a xiucai next year.”

Zhang Yang clenched his fists with a firm look on his face. A year ago, he would never be so confident. This year, he had not only received teaching from the empress, but also his second cousin and Zhang juren. If he still couldn’t pass the exams for xiucai, then he should really give up the road of imperial examinations and go back to help his big brother with the business.

“Hehe…I believe you can make it. I’m looking forward to seeing you again in the capital next year.”

Nearly having solved all the problems, Ling Jingxuan looked around at everyone on spot and finally fixed his eyes on his two younger brothers, “Except that eighty mu of paddy field, things like the title deeds are all under my name. Some other day I will ask Guarantor Liu to transfer the title deeds of the house under your name, Jingpeng, and the title deeds of the land under your name, Jinghan. As for Hanling School, I have to take it with me. It’s opened for Yunhan, so we will share it together.”

“But…”

“Second brother, we should listen to big brother.”

To receive tens of thousand mu of land for free, Ling Jinghan subconsciously wanted to reject, but got stopped by Ling Jingpeng. Ling Jinghan looked back at him strangely, while his younger brother threw him a reassuring look. Knowing that he should have his own thinking, Ling Jinghan had to temporarily hold his words back. Ling Jingpeng looked at his big brother again, “OK, we will all listen to you. Big brother, you can count on me. I will make our business bigger and won’t let you and Jinghan down!”

No one noticed that a cunning light flashed across Ling Jingpeng’s eyes. His big brother’s words just now reminded him that since he could transfer the title deeds under their names, why couldn’t they on the contrary? They could also secretly purchase properties for him! Just now, almost in an instant, he had made up his mind. As long as he was in charge of this family, wherever their business went, he’d buy shops for his big brother there.

If Ling Jingxuan knew his thoughts, he would laugh, wouldn’t he? Really worthy to be his younger brother!
