Chapter 391 Lotus and Tea
The headquarters of Situ's family is very big, much bigger than what Su Ling saw.Therefore, in the same morning, under the same sunlight, different things will naturally happen.

A string of wind chimes made of crystal clear crystals is hung on the slightly opened window lattices. When the breeze blows by, the jingle of the wind chimes emits bursts of coolness.

After careful inspection, it turned out that the transparent crystal was dotted with light blue ice particles. This is the freezing crystal accidentally discovered by Situ Jingsi on a business trip to the bitter cold place in the extreme north. He took it back and carved it into the shape of a wind chime Respect your father, but the old owner doesn't seem to be interested in this thing, so he just hung it on the window casually, and it has accumulated dust.

Inside the window was a square table carved from sandalwood. In front of the table, Situ Jingsi and his father were sitting face to face, watching two or three lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond outside the window.

Situ Jingsi's expression was indifferent, the green tea in the teacup in front of the table was richly brewed, and the fragrance of the tea inhaled into his nostrils with the breeze, making him feel particularly comfortable with the sound of dingdong.

The old Patriarch's eyes stayed on the lotus pond outside the window, "The lotus in this pond has been blooming from the small pavilion for more than ten years, and it hasn't changed since you were born."

"I don't feel that way." Situ Jingsi didn't intend to go along with his father, and still looked at the teacup calmly, wondering what he was thinking.

For the first time, the old Patriarch was not annoyed, he just breathed a long sigh of relief, and said indifferently: "Ever since you were born, you have never had time to watch lotus flowers at all."

"It was many years of confusion. There are many things to do besides watching the lotus." Situ Jingsi said lightly, but still turned his gaze to the lotus pond outside the window. The shadow of the lotus was reflected in his clear eyes, which was different from In the original scene, the lotus in his eyes was lifeless, no different from the flowers in ordinary ink paintings.

The old Patriarch snorted, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean I wasted my time?"

"That's not true. Father retired to the mountains after he became famous. Naturally, he sees things more thoroughly than I do. Appreciating flowers is also part of it." Situ Jingsi said respectfully. He still respects his father very much.

The old Patriarch shook his head slowly, and murmured: "I forced you too hard."

Of course Situ Jingsi understood the meaning of his father's words, but he didn't think it was his father's fault. To be precise, no one was wrong.He voluntarily stepped into the psychic world, received a rigorous education, and inherited the family business; and his father also tried his best to teach him, which was the best of both worlds, so no one was wrong.

If it is said that due to the difficult process during this period, he lacked a lot of happiness in his growth compared with other peers, it is understandable, after all, his ambition is not here, and it is nothing to work hard for the things he likes. You can't have it both ways Well.

He didn't want to hear his father hurt, so he wanted to get up, and said at the same time: "If father has no opinion on the handling of the elders, I will implement it." After saying this, he nodded and saluted before getting up and leaving.

The latter stopped him and waved his hand to signal Situ Jingsi to do it again.

He did.

The old patriarch pondered for a while before saying: "I don't care what the elders will do, that's the business of Situ's family. Now that I have abdicated, these have nothing to do with me, but I am very interested in that girl named Su Ling. Who are you?" What do you think?"

The old Patriarch stayed up all night, and there was no connection from dark to dawn. Why would his son, who always puts the interests of the family first, give up the easy-to-get spirit tree for such a girl?

He couldn't figure it out, so he had to use the most stupid way to find out—to ask directly.

Situ Jingsi was startled, looked at the black halo under his father's eye sockets, and his tiredness today, and cursed in his heart that his observation skills needed to be improved, and he didn't even see his father's thoughts.

"Su Ling is an excellent psychic who is worthy of training. Compared to a behemoth like the Spirit Tree, I feel that I will discover more things from her, so I have decided to let her become my personal assistant in a while. .” Situ Jingsi explained.

This time it was the old Patriarch's turn to be stunned, his cloudy old eyes could no longer see what his son was thinking, so he just asked dumbly: "Then what about Qiudi?"

"Qiudi is not my personal assistant to begin with. He is in charge of the southern branch of the Eastern Continent. He only spends a small amount of time in the headquarters, and it is difficult to find him. Therefore, after Su Ling is promoted, Qiudi's work will be reduced, and more work will be done. Concentrating on the management of the southern branch will benefit the future development of the Situ family."

Situ Jingsi's legs were slender and long, and when he sat upright, his body was half a head taller than the stooped old Patriarch. The father had no choice but to raise his head slightly to look at his son. From his angle, he happened to be looking up.

Looking at Situ Jingsi, who talked about the future development of the Situ family in a clear and eloquent manner, the old Patriarch felt for the first time that perhaps he should really let go and hand over the Situ family's full authority.

Situ Jingsi seems to be born more mature than other children of the same age, and he is far-sighted, and his attainments in psychic communication are far beyond others. Why do you have to worry about handing over the family business to such a son?

The old Patriarch snorted twice, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, forget it, from now on, the Situ family is yours, and you can mess around as you like, and I don't care."

Situ Jingsi heard the relief in his father's words, and before he understood what was going on for a while, he heard his father say again: "Tomorrow I will go to Jiangnan with a few old friends, and then go to other places in the Eastern Continent Go away, you won't be able to come back within three to five years, you have to take care of yourself."

Situ Jingsi was completely stunned, no one informed him of this in advance!In order to confirm the old patriarch's reaction to his management of various affairs of the Situ family at the first time, Situ Jingsi specially arranged two eyeliners beside his father. Because he is an experienced spy, he has not been discovered for so many years, but he has not. People told my father about going on a trip.

If there is a problem with the spy who is not cultivated by himself, then it is very likely that his father improvised it.

"Father……"

The old Patriarch looked at the lotus outside the window, and said lightly: "I don't worry about leaving Situ's house to you. I just go out and take a look. I will get tired of being trapped in Situ's house for the rest of my life. That little girl, what secrets does she hide? It doesn't matter, but you must be careful, after all, she used to be from the Spirit Village. As for your marriage, I don't want to take care of it anymore, so you can do whatever you want."

"Don't worry about me after I leave. I will come back regularly with messages." After saying that, the old master stood up, filled a cup of tea for his son, sat down again and said, "Actually, you can look at the lotus flowers in the pond more in the future, because when I am here When you get older, you will find that this is not the so-called wasted time. You spend a lot of time managing the Situ family, but the lotus only blooms once a year, and seeing it once means one less time..."

After saying that, the old Patriarch got up and left, leaving only Situ Jingsi and the cup of fragrant green tea.
