Chapter 15
After the wound was cleaned, Shi Hua put down the handkerchief and closed the lapel of his clothes for him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This matter is not over yet. You should be prepared."
Xie Ling responded dully. He remembered that in the afternoon, when Mrs. Su who came over saw the piece of jade fish around his neck, the reaction on her face ranged from shock to disbelief. She also wanted Xie Ling to take it. Xiayu took a look, but was rejected by Xie Ling. Later, Mrs. Su didn't say anything, picked up Su Miaoer and left in a hurry. The look before she left made both Xie Ling and Shi Hua feel a little bad.
This bad situation lasted until the evening. Not long after, a servant came over and said, "Master, please go to the study."
Hearing this, Xie Ling and Shi Hua looked at each other. Shi Hua nodded. Xie Ling couldn't help but pulled her hand and said, "I'll be back in a minute."
¡°For those who didn¡¯t know, they thought he was going to the execution ground. Shi Hua was laughing in his heart, but he didn¡¯t show it on his face and nodded in agreement.
Xie Ling followed the servant out of the yard. It was raining outside. The heavy rainwater hit the umbrella, making a crackling sound. The movement seemed to hit his forehead, and the splashing raindrops fell on the umbrella. His face was cold, and the night wind blew by, carrying cold water vapor and hitting his face. Xie Ling couldn't help but trembled, winter was coming.
After walking around and around in the back garden and walking through countless corridors, the man led Xie Ling to stop in front of the study. He knocked on the door and called in, and then he respectfully opened the door. Pushed open and motioned for Xie Ling to come in.
As soon as he entered the study, a warm fragrance hit him. Xie Ling sniffed and felt a little uncomfortable. He stood at the door and wanted to wait for the cold wind behind him to blow for a while. It was best to blow away the strong fragrance. good.
But the idea didn't work out. A person turned around from behind the screen. It was Mr. Su who hadn't seen him for many days. He saw Xie Ling standing by the door, the cold wind was blowing, and his robes were flying around. He quickly said: "Stand. What are you doing at the door? Watch out for the wind, come in and sit down."
Xie Ling felt a little regretful, but she still listened to his words, went in and closed the door. The incense burning in the room was very strong, which made him have the urge to sneeze, but he resisted it.
Mr. Su took Xie Ling to sit down at the table and asked him cordially about recent events. He was very surprised when he learned that he was practicing calligraphy. He then smiled and said, "It's my negligence. Your father used to only learn Chinese calligraphy." It's so good. At the beginning, he was the first in every small test in our entire academy. Later, when he took the college examination, he passed all the way and won the small three yuan in a row, which caused a sensation for a while."
Xie Ling had never heard of these. His father had never told him anything about the past since he could remember it. This time he heard it from someone else. He felt very novel and asked a few questions curiously.
Mr. Su smiled and said: "Later, when you took the provincial examination, your father was outstanding in literary talent and won the Xie Yuan exam. We went to Beijing together to take the exam. But that time we were both unlucky. Your father was seriously ill and did not take the exam, and I was a scholar. Unfortunately, I also failed the exam. I have always been too lazy to study, so I simply packed up and returned to Suyang. From then on, I was separated from your father and only exchanged letters."
He sighed again as he spoke, and said: "I think it was that time when your father fell ill and hurt his foundation, and then the root of the disease came to light. If I had noticed it earlier"
At this point, he let out another long sigh, and Mr. Su's tone was quite sad. After hearing this, Xie Ling felt extremely sad. Since he was a child, the bitter smell of medicine has always been lingering in his home, and he can't get rid of it. Now that I think about it, maybe as Mr. Su said, it was because he was ill and damaged his foundation when he was young that his father was unable to fulfill his ambitions and could only live in a small mountain village in Qiu County and die in depression.
Mr. Su spoke with emotion. He couldn't help but pick up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes. Seeing that Xie Ling's eyes were red, he comforted him a few words and said, "Don't worry, for a talent like your father, you will certainly be good." , I will give an order in the future, asking you and Haner to go to school together, study hard, and come back with a good reputation, so that you can fight for your father and shine on your family."
Xie Ling thanked him hurriedly, and then Mr. Su talked about something else. He asked him how he lived in the mansion for so long, whether the food was good, and whether the servants had been neglectful in any way. Xie Ling asked him one by one. He answered and just said everything was fine.
Seeing that the atmosphere was appropriate, Mr. Su changed the topic and finally brought up the business, saying: "Your father asked you to come to Su Yang, did you talk about anything else?"
Xie Ling was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, what Uncle Su means is"
Mr. Su felt relieved. It seemed that Xie Ling didn't know about the baby's marriage. As it happened, he said, "Did your father ask you to bring any token? I didn't see you when you were born."
After Xie Ling heard this, she pulled out an emerald goldfish from her collar and said, "Father only gave this to me, saying that Uncle Su would know it at a glance."
Mr. Su took a closer look at the emerald goldfish by candlelight, and sighed in his heart. This classmate of his was really a person. He did not talk to Xie Ling about the hastily arranged marriage, but just asked him to Bringing this jade here, if Mr. Su misses his old relationship and is willing to marry his daughter to him, it will be great. If Mr. Su regrets it and wants to break his promise and become a villain, he will not expose him and let him show up in front of the younger generation. Ugly.
But whether he likes it or not, Mr. Su will feel a little guilty when he sees this jade fish and thinks of his former classmates. With this guilt, Xie Ling has a way to survive, and Mr. Su will definitely not ignore it. Him, let him starve to death on the streets.
Looking at the jade fish, Mr. Su felt extremely complicated. If Xie Liu hadn't been seriously ill, he would have definitely been on the list for that exam and would have made great achievements. His friend Su Mo wouldn't be ruining it now. What a villain, it¡¯s time and destiny.
Mr. Su sighed for a while, and the complicated emotions lingering in his heart gradually dissipated. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Xie Ling was looking at him. He coughed lightly and said, "My dear nephew, you are so beautiful"
As he was speaking, he saw Xie Ling still staring at him, as if waiting for the next half of his sentence. Being stared at by those bright black eyes of a child, Mr. Su couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Feeling that his thoughts were invisible and clearly seen, he paused, gritted his teeth and continued: "I was the one who gave this jade to your father, but I later remembered that there was something else Dayong, I wonder if you can return it to me?"
Xie Ling was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously held the jade tightly, hid it in his clothes, and said as if he didn't hear clearly, "Give it back to you?"
Mr. Su nodded, coughed again, and said tentatively: "Look, this jade originally belonged to me, but I gave it away by mistake. Later, I was embarrassed to explain to your father that now Well, you are a child. , holding this kind of thing will easily attract people's attention, and the common man is not guilty of carrying the jade. Do you think this is the truth, if it is stolen by someone, it will not be beautiful. "
Xie Ling lowered his head slightly and said nothing. Mr. Su thought he had been persuaded and was about to continue his efforts, but he saw Xie Ling shaking his head and said: "No, this is a relic left by my father to me, it is my thing. "
Master Su hesitated, Xie Ling raised her head, stared at him with a pair of bright black eyes, and said calmly: "Uncle Su called me here today just for this purpose? It's okay to talk to me about my father." Just to protect feelings?"
These words were like a slap in the face, which made Mr. Su's face burn. He was used to doing what a businessman does. It was very natural for him to talk to people and talk to ghosts. He had not even seen each other at the last moment. After that, the next moment they can smile and cater to each other, and the attitude becomes cordial naturally.
But in front of Xie Ling, it was as if his hypocritical skin had been peeled off. Mr. Su had always been a decent man, but when he was humiliated like this by a childish child, he always felt a bit uncomfortable on his face, and his tone was harsh. After a while, as if he was talking to his opponents in the shopping mall, he suppressed some anger and said: "You kid, what did you say? Is this the kind of person you think your uncle is? Originally, this emerald goldfish , to a child like you, it¡¯s just a beautiful gadget, you can¡¯t eat or wear it, that¡¯s it¡¡±
As he spoke, he stood up, walked around behind the screen, and soon came back. He took a box in his hand and opened it. Inside was an envelope of fine silk-grained silver and several large ingots, which dazzled in the candlelight. flower.
Mr. Su pushed the box forward and said, "Take the money and buy some delicious and fun things. You can still give the emerald goldfish back to me. What do you think?"
He looked at Xie Ling with satisfaction, as if he was sure that he would agree. Unexpectedly, Xie Ling didn't even look at the silver. He stood up and said every word: "Although I am young, I have heard a saying , called a true villain and a hypocrite, but now it seems that you, Uncle Su, can neither be considered a true villain nor a hypocrite."
Although the child's voice was still a little immature, in Mr. Su's ears, it was like a slap in the face, and a rattling sound in his head. He vaguely seemed to see the man with outstanding grace and excellent literary talent. His classmate was standing in front of him, looking at him with disappointment and sarcasm, and said: Su Moyou, you really cannot be called a gentleman.
Mr. Su suddenly became angry and became angry. What if he couldn't be a gentleman? What does he want to be a gentleman? He now has a fortune, owns hundreds of acres of fertile land, has many wives and concubines, and lives a life of wealth and wealth like a master. What do you want to do? You, Xie Liu, are naturally a gentleman. You have turned into a handful of loess a long time ago, and you can¡¯t even care about your own son!
Xie Ling had already caught a glimpse of Mr. Su's shameless face, and his hands trembled with anger. He angrily threw away the box of silver ingots, which rolled to the ground with a crackling sound. Shouted: "Stop!"
How could Xie Ling listen to him? He ran out of the study like a gust of wind and disappeared in the heavy rain.
