Chapter 137
Xue Shun has been staying in Tongcai Villa for five or six years, but when you count it up, he has met his father only a few times.
And his father hardly ever spoke to him.
Now that he was leaving, and it was unknown how long he would be gone, Xue Shun felt that it was only right and reasonable for him to go see his father and say something.
So before returning, he had already asked Aunt Zhang, who was beside his mother, and learned that his father should be in Tongsheng Pavilion discussing matters with several guardian deacons.
When Xue Shun arrived, the crowd had not yet dispersed. He asked a guard to go in and report, and then waited outside for a long time.
As usual, his father did not see him.
The guard said, "The owner of the manor said he knows and told you to just go and there's no need to tell anyone."
"……yes."
Xue Shun was slightly silent for a moment, still bowed respectfully as usual, then turned around and left.
Shen Jiao followed behind him, also silent.
When they were so far away that Tongsheng Pavilion was out of sight, Shen Jiao asked, "How is the young master?"
"That's good," Xue Shun turned his head and smiled at her, "Tell Qiongzhi and the others that we don't have any, so we should take our two sets of clothes and cloaks."
"Don't worry, sir. Qiongzhi and the others are well aware of this."
Xue Shun only has a few decent clothes. If he forgets about this, they won't have to serve him. Shen Jiao won't remind him all the time.
"I told them to take all the valuables with them, just in case they need them."
"Well, remember to leave some money for them. We don't know how long we'll be gone, and they'll need it if they need it."
Xue Shun is always stingy and generous. It's not her money anyway, so Shen Jiao doesn't feel bad about it.
"I'll give it to them when I get back. As for the matter of the deaf and dumb, have you decided whether to take it or not?"
Before Shen Jiao came out, he went to talk to Wei Qian about this matter. He was about to lie to him and say that he was going somewhere else, but he didn't even ask where they were going. He just said that he would not leave unless he took Tianlongdimu with him.
Shen Jiao could naturally knock him unconscious and carry him onto the boat, or stuff him into a box, but that might cause more trouble.
So I could only report it to Xue Shun and ask him to make the decision.
Xue Shun said he needed to think about it, but now Shen Jiao asked him again and she didn't know if he had figured it out.
Xue Shun asked her, "Do they want to go by themselves?"
"They didn't look like they wanted to, but Doctor Wei asked them to pack up, so they did."
"I'll ask them when I get back."
Xue Shun said this, and as soon as he returned to Liao'e Courtyard, he called Tianlongdimu over.
He patiently told them that it was okay if they didn't want to go, and they could just stay in the yard. He would talk to Wei Qian and he would definitely not let Wei Qian blame them.
Tianlongdimu looked at each other for a moment and then gestured: We are willing to go together.
Xue Shun was stunned and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Uh-huh!
Tianlongdimu nodded.
For them, there was nothing to think about. They had lived with Wei Qian since they were very young. They were ordered around by him and scolded by him, but they also often did things wrong and made him angry.
I learned everything from him, whether useful or not.
This feeling is very complicated. Sometimes they think Wei Qian is their master, and sometimes they regard him as an elder like a father.
A servant will not leave his master easily.
A son will not easily leave his father.
Even though he wasn't that good, the deaf and dumb girl still liked to follow him.
They also quietly made a request: no medicine!
Xue Shun: "I can't control this. He's doing this for your own good."
They both hung their heads dejectedly.
Xue Shun: "I'll try my best to persuade him and see if I can get him to give you less bitter medicine."
Di Ma's eyes lit up again, his mind became clear, and he left happily.
Tianlong looked at him blankly.
Xue Shunlian repeated with gestures: "I said I would persuade Wei Qian!"
Tianlong then left happily.
Shen Jiao was also very happy to see this.
She discovered that Xue Shun had a habit. Whenever he spoke to Tianlong, he would speak loudly and gesture, or write while speaking, regardless of whether the other person could hear him or not.
It's always lively and fun.
She laughed quite happily.
Only Xue Shun couldn't be happy.
I get angry when I see these people around me, but luckily I still have Qiongzhi.
Before leaving, Qiongzhi mustered up her courage and decided to go with him.
So Xue Shun barely got a reliable one.
Of course, he soon realized that he was overthinking everything about being reliable. When Qiongzhi was on good terms with Shen Jiao, she only had eyes for Shen Jiao. When the relationship between Qiongzhi and Shen Jiao was bad, she still only had eyes for Shen Jiao.
Although he did the work he was supposed to do, he was often distracted and was worse off than when he was in the yard.
In any case, the six of them got on the boat.
Xue Shun was still a little excited the first day.
The next day, the novelty wore off, and Xue Shun felt a little uneasy again. He couldn't help but ask Luo Wendi, "Mother, is it really okay for us to leave like this?"
Xue Shun didn't go out very often, but he knew that Qishui County was always very lively, with many boats traveling on the river every day.
But in the past two days, he clearly felt that there were fewer boats.
This morning he saw people on another boat pointing at the flag of Tongcai Villa. When he came out after lunch, the flag with the word "Xue" on the boat had been replaced with the flag with the word "Luo".
It was hard for him not to think too much.
"well!"
Luo Wendi sighed, looked at Xue Shun's nervous expression, and sighed again.
It wasn't because she was worried about her family, but because she regretted taking the child out.
She was happily cuddling with her male lover when he suddenly came.
I brought him out myself, but it didn't mean I would just stay at home and not see him.
Luo Wendi could only coax him patiently: "Do you like fishing? Ask them to find you a rod. How about you go fishing?"
Xue Shun was stunned for a moment: "Mother, the boat is moving, how could there be a fish on the hook?"
"Fishing for a good mood, or putting a few fish in a bucket is fun. When I was a kid, I could sit by the bucket for a whole day."
Xue Shun pursed his lips and asked, "How old was mother then?"
"About four or five years old," Luo Wendi's eyes wandered, landing on the table. He picked up a box and said, "If you don't like it, I still have chess pieces here. I picked out the stones one by one and asked them to polish them. If you like, take them."
Luo Wendi looked at him expectantly.
Xue Shun: ...
"Since it's my mother's favorite, I'd better keep it for myself."
"Well, what's the point of loving or not loving something? It's just an old thing from the past. New things become like this after being used for a long time. You seem to like them so much when you mention them, but in fact, you may not be that sad when you lose them. After all, what's important is never the thing itself, but the time spent with it. You can recall it in the blink of an eye. Whether you have this thing or not, that time is already remembered in your heart. Once you let it go, it doesn't seem to matter so much..." Luo Wendi paused and said to him, "Your father is like this. Maybe you won't believe me if I tell you, but don't look at him being so cold to his family. He is still a man who values friendship and loyalty at heart. He can take it or let it go. It's just that once he sits in a certain position, there are too many things to take into account..."
Don't worry, he's fine, and nothing will happen to his family either."
Luo Wendi seemed to be talking to Xue Shun, but also to herself.
Regardless of whether Xue Shun understood or not, Luo Wendi still let him take the chessboard and the two boxes of chess pieces away.
