After hanging up the phone, Commander-in-Chief Xia turned around, his eyes still showing the sharpness that he hadn't had time to hide during the call. He looked at Xia Jinyuan and said calmly, "Let's go take a walk and chat as father and son."
Xia Jinyuan looked up at the sky. Dark clouds covered the moon and the wind was cold. It was really not the time to chat or take a walk. It would be better to make a pot of hot tea, eat peanuts, and sit in the warm room and chat. That would be more comfortable.
"Let's go back to the house and talk." He said with a smile, which earned him a glare.
In the end, the father couldn't persuade his son and went back to the room to chat.
The old house of the Xia family is a courtyard with four entrances. After entering the gate, there is a screen wall. From the screen wall, there is a screen door. Then on the left hand side is the back house, which used to be where the servants lived. Now it has been changed into a guest room, which is usually called the outer courtyard.
Entering from the hanging flower gate in the outer courtyard is the second gate, which means the inner courtyard. On the left and right sides are the left and right wing rooms. This is where the descendants of the Xia family usually live when they return home. The main hall is located inside the second gate.
From the second gate, you can go through the hanging flower gate to the third gate. The third gate has the same layout as the fourth gate, with a small flower garden in the middle. Usually, the old man and the old lady hang out in the small garden in the third gate. The back room at the end of the fourth gate is converted into a flower room. In the middle of winter, the flowers are in full bloom and are particularly beautiful. The old lady and the old man's room are in the fourth gate, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, very quiet and a rare good place.
Nowadays, having such a house with four entrances in Beijing is quite remarkable. This is also the reason why the old lady and the old man do not like to live in Dangui Garden. Living in the old house is more comfortable than anywhere else.
It was the fourth day of the first lunar month. There was no snow and the sky was clear. Although it was cold at night, there were sparse cold stars in the sky. They were extremely bright and dazzling, so bright that they seemed to be finely polished, reflecting a cold and dim light.
The soles of his shoes stepped on the snow that had not been swept away in the courtyard, making a "crunching" sound. Amid the sound of the snow, Xia Jinyuan, whose handsome face was as cold as the starlight, spoke, "Ms. Xiao, there is a problem, right? So, you have not dealt with her, but have been observing her in secret, right?"
The tone of affirmation is far greater than the tone of inquiry.
"Grandpa just reminded me that with your style of doing things, it is indeed impossible for you to keep the problematic Ms. Xiao. Then, there is only one possibility, there are more things about her that you want to know more about, and you keep her just to dig out all the things behind her. Am I right?"
The two men stayed at the fourth door to talk, fearing that they would wake up the old man and the old lady, and let them hear the conversation and worry again. Tonight, Ms. Xiao visited again, which made the old lady worry.
They didn't talk in the hall of the fourth gate, but went to the hall of the third gate together tacitly. Tonight, they would also stay in the rooms on both sides of the third gate.
Commander-in-Chief Xia casually took out a handful of snow from the branches and slowly pressed the snow with his hands until it was pressed into a ball. Then he said calmly, "There is indeed a problem with her. We have been investigating her for a long time."
"What's the specific problem?" Xia Jinyuan pressed on. He guessed that the night wind was very cold, so cold that even his voice sounded like ice. "Besides seeking shelter, are you trying to steal something from us by approaching me?"
He didn't answer him immediately. He walked all the way to the third gate. After sitting on the pit, Commander Xia ordered, "Go, make some tea and a plate of peanuts."
I'm really ready to have a long talk.
