In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 1224: Chapter 1136: You Have a Great Grandson!

"What exactly are you trying to express by saying all that?"

Qin Yi raised an eyebrow.

"What I mean to say is that people have different beliefs, and thus lead different lives; the kind of thoughts you have dictate the kind of life you lead. A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, a horse travels a thousand miles to graze. As Qin Feimo is the Virtuous King, naturally he must do what a Virtuous King should do. But what if he were nothing at all? What then?"

Su Pan’er’s eyes carried a different meaning.

Qin Yi furrowed his brows in deep thought—if Qin Feimo were nothing at all, then what would he...?

He turned his gaze toward the distance, where in the small pavilion ahead, Little Yanyan was playing with Little Sugar Bean, with several palace maids attending to them.

The two children played carefree with little stones, Little Yanyan’s giggling and Little Sugar Bean’s insistent babbling could be intermittently heard.

Gradually drawing the attention of Qin Yi and another person.

They couldn’t help but walk toward the small pavilion.

When their light was blocked by the approaching figures, both children seemed to notice them. Turning their heads, and upon seeing their own imperial parents, Little Yanyan’s small face broke into a wide smile.

"Father, Empress Mother, you’re back!"

She cheered, rushing over, followed by Little Sugar Bean: "Father, Empress Mother, where have you been? Little Yanyan couldn’t find you. Little Yanyan missed you so much!"

Qin Yi crouched down, and Little Yanyan tiptoed to plant a kiss on his face, her small face beaming like a flower.

Qin Yi laughed heartily, wiping the saliva from his face before looking at Little Yanyan’s face and then at Little Sugar Bean, who was also smearing his face with saliva.

Both children’s cheeks were flushed, their skin tender and pale, their large, obsidian-black eyes round and shining, their little forms with red lips and white teeth extremely adorable when they smiled.

He reached out to squeeze Little Sugar Bean’s chubby cheeks. The plump little body fed so well wriggled in his arms, endearing and irresistible.

It kept Qin Yi laughing nonstop.

"Do you really miss Father, or did you do something wrong and fear punishment from your tutor, so you came to hide with Father?"

"I did not! Father, Little Yanyan wants to be held too, hold me, hold me..."

Little Yanyan also tried to squeeze into Qin Yi’s embrace.

But though Little Sugar Bean was small, she dominantly clung to Qin Yi’s arms and wouldn’t let go. Little Yanyan’s smiling face gradually faded.

Su Pan’er couldn’t bear to see her disappointed and quickly sat down on a stone bench, beckoning to Little Yanyan.

"You child, come here! Come to your Empress Mother."

"Empress Mother!"

Little Yanyan happily leaped into her arms and sat on the stone bench, leaning into Su Pan’er’s embrace to watch her younger sister.

Little Sugar Bean was having a great time with Qin Yi, curiously reaching out to touch his stubble-chinned chin and pouting, about to give a kiss.

"Stop it, you little rascal, this..."

Qin Yi busied himself wiping the saliva from his face, preventing her from continuing her slobbery rites, and couldn’t help but laugh as he exclaimed, "Where did this child pick up the habit of always pouncing for a kiss? Just look at my wet face..."

If he wasn’t mistaken, just before, the two children were wiping and playing at the stone table, right? In the blink of an eye, they ran over to touch his face—enough was enough!

"Father, Father?"

Little Sugar Bean’s large eyes blinked, listening but not understanding.

Seeing Qin Yi prevent her from kissing him, she became a bit unhappy, her rosy little mouth pouted as she began to call out and raise her hands to grab Qin Yi’s hair.

Watching his confused and adorable look, Qin Yi’s heart softened once more.

The main reason was that he had been busy with court affairs recently, and he had left both children under Pan’er’s care, while he himself had very little interaction with them.

He picked them up casually and asked softly, "Little Sugar Bean, shall we go to Wangxiang Tower for dinner? Alright, come to daddy for a hug, let’s go!" With that, he took his wife and child back to Wangxiang Tower.

Indeed, matters of the state are important, the affairs of the world are important, but nothing is as important as one’s own wife and children!

Qin Yi felt the deepest meaning of this saying for the first time at this moment.

The results of the palace examination, being listed on the Golden List, would only be announced on the third day after the examination.

Ten years of hard study, unnoticed, but one day of fame, known throughout the world!

The ancients did not deceive me.

Ever since returning from the palace examination, Su Family’s Mansion’s threshold had nearly been trampled by visitors.

People who had not known them before, who had no relationship whatsoever, also began to visit one after another. Su Ke had long known about the party struggles in the court, and so he excused himself from meeting everyone due to a headache from drinking too much the previous day.

But while he could fend off those outsiders, there was one person he could not fend off.

Reclusive Scholar Lei took a liking to Su Ke, hoping dearly that Su Ke would be savvy enough to take the initiative to discuss marriage matters.

Unexpectedly, Su Ke appeared quite indifferent, as if he had no interest in his daughter, which indeed made him feel somewhat snubbed for a few days.

However, news of the happenings in the court soon reached his ears.

After giving it some thought, Reclusive Scholar Lei visited Su Family’s Mansion the very next day. The ministers could be stopped, but when the mentor himself paid a personal visit, the Su Family’s gatekeeper naturally dared not stop him and hurriedly reported it.

Patriarch Su received the report and personally went out to greet him, following the required courtesies. Su Ke naturally accompanied him.

"Ha ha ha... It’s rare for Reclusive Scholar Lei to personally visit to teach my grandson, bringing glory to the Su Family. Coincidentally, two esteemed guests have also come to the mansion today. It’s a good opportunity for everyone to gather and chat."

"Patriarch Su, you have a fine grandson!"

Reclusive Scholar Lei was particularly moved.

These words made Su Ke feel quite embarrassed.

Reclusive Scholar Lei came to the mansion and Patriarch Su, who had already been informed, personally went out to greet him, which involved the necessary niceties. Su Ke naturally followed.

"Ha ha ha... It’s rare for Academician Lei to personally visit to teach my grandson, bringing glory to the Su Family. As luck would have it, my naive grandson is also at home today, not having gone out. It’s a good chance for everyone to gather and chat, for Academician Lei to offer some additional guidance."

Watching Su Ke beside him, calm and poised in his greeting, Reclusive Scholar Lei said to Patriarch Su with added emotion,

"Patriarch Su, you certainly have a fine grandson!"

These words made Su Ke feel quite embarrassed again, causing him to bend his waist one more time.

But Patriarch Su was all pride and burst into laughter: "It is all thanks to Reclusive Scholar Lei’s earnest and relentless teaching of my naive grandson. Tracing back through the generations, my family, the Sus, were always rural country heads. Now, returning once again to Shengjing, when I, old Su, pass on, I will also have the face to meet the ancestors of the Su Family."

Academician Lei’s expression suddenly changed, filled with surprise and uncertainty: "Are you implying that the Su Family has quite a lineage?"

"You are correct there," said Patriach Su, his face intent and secretive, and then breaking into hearty laughter. He glanced outside the mansion gate, and gesturing towards the parlor said, "It’s not convenient to talk here. Come, let’s go inside and talk."

They say that in age, people become crafty.

Patriarch Su, now old, had long since become a sly figure.

He invited Academician Lei into the parlor and offered him the seat of honor. Su Ke, with nowhere to sit, simply stood at attention beside Su Lao Si’s position.

Once everyone was seated, Patriarch Su opened the conversation with a smile.

"Speaking of the Su Family, we must go back to the Qin Family, to Yan Village and Luoshan Village..."
