daily life

Chapter 283

In the late night of early spring, the stars are lonely.The mansion was quiet, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the cold air.

Xi Lang walked into the old man's study yard.

The old man was still awake, talking to Xixiu.

Xi Lang and the young servants who entered the door came in one after another.

When the old man and Xi Xiu saw him, their chatting and laughing stopped abruptly, and the latter stood up hastily.

Xixiu nodded politely to Xilang, and then said to the old man, "Father, I'm going back to my room first."

"Go." The old man waved his hand, glanced at Xi Lang, and knew that it must be because of Xiang that this unfilial son came here at midnight.I don't know if Xiang Shi filed a complaint, or after considering the seriousness, he persuaded him in every possible way.He pointed to the seat opposite the desk, and signaled Xi Lang to take a seat, "It's just in time for you to come, otherwise I'll order someone to call you over."

Xi Lang turned his head to look at Xi Xiu's back, sat down and said: "Tell me, what good things are you discussing?"

The old man was calm this time, he smiled and said: "It's important. Although the third child and I stay at home, we still know everything about the outside world."

"Naturally." Xi Lang smiled, "I didn't stop the officials from visiting you."

The old man took a sip of tea, "If you stop me, you will be the one who suffers. Now I am at home, and you are on the cusp. Some things are inconvenient for others to tell you, but they will explain them to me in detail. Some people look forward to attacking the family In the decline, some people have relied on their family for many years, while the people in the East Mansion are all prosperous and all lost."

"Speak straight."

"You can think that I am still thinking about the future of the third child, and I just hope that the house will be safe." The old man looked at Xi Lang, "The Jiang family has personal grievances with you, not a small one, and you have been at odds with the third child since you were young. In addition, the Jiang family has been planning to win the third child over. But I often talk to the third child these days. He naturally wants to glorify the family from the bottom of his heart, and he wants to work together with you. Even if you get an errand in name, you won't do anything that is outrageous..."

Xi Lang raised his eyebrows.

The old man knew that it would be useless to say such things, but would make Xi Lang impatient, so he turned to talk about his feelings: "You are in a high position now, and you know better than me that I will never be able to return to the officialdom. In this way That's right, I have worked hard for half my life, so how can I not be tired. I only hope to be safe and stable for the elderly, and see you as brothers and sisters. You and the fifth child have never cared about my life and death, and have always ignored my words, but the third child It's different. Although he was used by your second uncle in those years, but in the end, he never really did anything that was unfavorable to you and me."

Xi Lang smiled sarcastically, "What's the use of talking about this." He stared at his father, "Don't you dare to tell me what's on your mind?"

"From the bottom of my heart..." the old lady pondered, "Then tell me what's on my mind. I promised the third child's biological mother to take care of him a bit more. Yes, I also promised your mother to take good care of the flesh and blood she left behind. But you and I both know that over the years, you have never regarded me as an elder, and I have no power to treat you. I am indeed sorry for her..."

"Don't mention my mother." Xi Lang frowned, "You are not qualified."

The old man was choked enough, his anger was aroused, and he said in a slow and cold voice: "No matter what you think, right now I only have this wish: you arrange an errand for the third child, or simply let the Jiang family facilitate the matter , you don’t have to worry about anything else, I will remind the third child from time to time, and I won’t let him make mistakes to affect your future. I know that you think too much about your concubines, but which one doesn’t? You are already Many years of siblings, even if you don't like the third child, is it possible that you can still kill him? Dare you?"

Xi Lang made a mocking smile, "I dare not. I'm afraid I'll get my hands dirty."

"..." The old man stared at him, "Why do you hate him so much?!"

"Go and ask him."
