Chapter 230
From this day onwards, Ling Xiao no longer applies ointment or wraps his eyes with cotton cloth, and looks around with his eyes open every day
-Every day, he looks around with his eyes open
The layer of fog is gradually becoming lighter and thinner, and the scenery in front of him is becoming clearer and clearer
The world is really beautiful!
Ling Xiao sighed heartily, then continued to wander around the Ling Mansion with great interest
It was as if he wanted to make up for all the regrets of not being able to see for so many years
His eyesight has not fully recovered yet, Ling Jingshu is relieved and accompanies him around the mansion, urging him from time to time, “Ah Xiao, there is a rockery in front of us, remember to turn left”
Ling Xiao loses his smile, “Such a big fake mountain, how could I not see it”
This feeling of being able to see is wonderful!
Ling Xiao has a bright smile that shines brighter than the sun
It exudes the characteristic vigor and radiance of a teenager
Ling Jingshu looks at the spirited Ling Xiao and also purses her lips and smilesAh Shu, these few **** days have already turned all over the Ling residence, some other day when we are free, let’s go out and have a look around, okay?”
Ling Xiao’s tone was filled with longing, “After coming to the capital for so long, I’ve never seen what it’s like outside”
Now he can finally see it
He wants to see all over the capital with his own eyes!
Ling Jingshu smiled and nodded, “Good
-I’m going to the Hui Chun Hall in a few days, so you can come with me!”
Ling Xiao grins and nods vigorously
After walking for half a day, she was also a bit tired
Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao went to a pavilion and sat down to rest
At this time, it is the cold winter months, and the flowers and plants in the garden are withered and faded
There were a few plum blossoms planted by the side of the pavilion
At this time, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, emitting a biting aroma
Sitting in the pavilion, the fragrance of plum blossoms lingered between his nostrils
Ling Xiao happily exhaled deeply
Ling Jingshu gazed at Ling Xiao’s glittering side face with a smile
Suddenly, she asked, “Ah Xiao, your eyes have regained their sight
What are you going to do next?”
Ling Xiao froze and looked confused, “What to do?”
With his eyes restored, all his previous predicaments were solved
He can now live the life of a normal teenager, what else does Ah Shu have to worry about
Ling Jingshu slowly said, “What I mean is, do you plan to return to Dingzhou with father?”
Ling Xiao keenly heard that something was wrong and his smile tightened, “Ah Shu
Why are you asking this?
Do you not want to go back?”
In the past, Ling Jingshu had hinted that she did not want to go back to Dingzhou, however, the two siblings had never seriously discussed this matter
Ling Jingshu looked calm and frank, “Yes
– “Ling Xiao is a little confused, “Why?
You stayed in the capital
Is it for the cure?”Curing the disease is only one of the reasons, I have more important reasons”
Ling Jingshu looked at Ling Xiao and said in a low voice, “Don’t ask what it is exactly
In short
This matter is very important to me
Before this matter is made
I will never leave the capital”This matter is extremely risky, and if you are not careful, your life will be in danger
If you stay in the capital, you will also be in danger”” Before he could finish his sentence, Ling Xiao interrupted Ling Jingshu in a decisive manner, “I’m not leaving!
Ah Shu, I’m going to stay and accompany you”
The unhesitating response caused warmth to well up in Ling Jingshu’s heart, but her complexion became more and more grave: “Ah Xiao
I’m very clear about your feelings, and I’m also very touched
However
This matter is really more dangerous than you can imagine
My enemy is also far more powerful and terrifying than you can imagine
With my own strength, I am undoubtedly an ant trying to shake a tree
I’m in danger alone and shouldn’t drag you into this quagmire as well”What foolish words you are saying!”
Ling Xiao’s brows furrowed tightly and his voice sank, “We are siblings and the closest people in the world
Should I leave you in the capital and hide back in Dingzhou alone?
You don’t have to say anything
I have made up my mind to stay in the capital with you
We’ll share the same blessings and difficulties, and we’ll live and die together without leaving each other!”
The words were resolute, the attitude firm
Ling Jingshu’s eyes were slightly hot, her heart was surging with warmth, and she was unable to speak for a moment
After a long time, Ling Jingshu regained her composure: “Good, then you will stay in the capital”
Ling Xiao’s taut face then has a hint of a smile, “I will talk to father tomorrow, I will stay in the capital to study
There are many learned and great scholars in the capital’s State Scholarship Academy, studying in the State Scholarship Academy must be much better than being in Dingzhou city
I don’t think father will stop me”
Ling Jingshu hmmmed and reminded, “What I said to you today, after you’ve heard it, you must never tell a second person, including father”
Ling Xiao solemnly responded
Unsurprisingly, when Ling Xiao mentioned to Master Ling Fifth about staying in the capital to study, Master Ling Fifth nodded his head without much hesitation and complimented Ling Xiao, “It’s a good thing that you have this mind to study hard and advance
I’ll talk to your great uncle and have him go to the Imperial College to intercede on your behalf, so there shouldn’t be any problem”
The State Prison was the highest ranked academy in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and most of the people who taught there were learned and talented Hanlin scholars
The State Prince Eunuch would uniformly recruit students in February every year
If you want to enter the State Eunuch, you must have an official of the sixth rank or above as a guarantor, and you must also pass the examination of the State Eunuch before you can enter the State Eunuch
It was almost impossible for commoners to get into the Imperial College to study
When Ling Xiao sees that Master Ling Fifth has agreed in one breath, his heart is instantly more solid, and he says with a busy smile, “I’ll be grateful for everything, Father”
Ling Fifth Master smiled disinterestedly, “You want to study, I as a father will only be happy in my heart”
Of the three sons, only Ling Xiao was the original first son
Ling Xiao had been intelligent since childhood, and Master Ling Fifth had the highest expectations for him
It was a pity that Ling Xiao fell and became blind and became an invalid
Ling Fifth Master’s disappointment, his concern for Ling Xiao gradually faded
Now that Ling Xiao has regained his sight, Jingshu’s “bright future” is just around the corner
The weight of the two siblings in Mr Ling’s heart has immediately risen by a large margin, which is not the same as that of the other siblings
Mr Ling thought for a moment and added, “It’s almost the end of the year, and the Imperial College will soon be on vacation, so if you want to enter the Imperial College, you don’t have to rush in this moment
How about waiting until next February”Moreover, although you haven’t put down your schoolwork in these years, in the end, what you have learned is not solid
While there are still more than two months, the Four Books and Five Classics are all revised once
When you take the examination at the State Prison next year, you will also be able to do better”
Being looked at by Master Ling Fifth with a gentle and loving gaze, Ling Xiao isn’t much touched, instead he is rather twisted and uncomfortable, and responds in a low voice, “What father says is true”
Disappointment after disappointment, so many years of indifference, how can it be reversed by a few kind words from Master Ling Fifth?
Seeing Ling Xiao’s reaction like this, Ling Fifth Master was slightly disappointed in his heart and waved his hand for Ling Xiao to retreat
