Chapter 4

Xu Yuanzhu stays in this study room for a long time. Whenever important guests come, he will introduce his study room to others. He likes to draw pictures in the study room, so a slightly larger table is set up here. There are two people on the table. There is a pen holder, with many brushes hanging in the air, several knives of rice paper in the corner, and paintings by famous artists he has collected over the years are hung on the wall.

There are many books on the study cabinet, most of which are rare ancient books of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Xu Yuanzhu put in a lot of effort to buy them from various sources. There are thread-bound and back-packed ones, and the study is full. Separate it with a layer of glass and put it in a place that is not easy to touch to avoid further damage.

Xu Yuanzhu's paintings and calligraphy in this study room are usually treasured, but this time he started smoking in the study room. Xu Shaoqing knew that this time he would be scolded again when he entered the room, so he was mentally prepared.

There are still a few unfinished drafts on the desk, Xu Shaoqing only needs to take a look to know that he is painting again today, it is strange to say that Xu Yuanzhu did not have this hobby of painting when he was young, but when he is old After a while, the temples turned gray, and suddenly he began to paint again, saying that he was doing it for self-cultivation, but he didn't know whether he was trying to fool others or himself.

Xu Yuanzhu stopped smoking, and only shook his cane to tap the newspaper on the ground, two deep lines appeared between his brows, and said angrily: "Xu Shaoqing, it's been less than two months since I handed over the "Ning Bao" to you. , you count, how many times you have stabbed me, huh? I am old, and I have to wipe your ass and clean up your aftermath, don't you think it is embarrassing?"

Xu Shaoqing picked up a brush and played with it in his hand, and said casually: "I don't think there is anything wrong with me."

"you!"

Xu Yuanzhu looked at him, and his anger shot up from his chest, making his neck red, "Are you right? You still think you are right. Last week you were the one who was beaten at the dock in the newspaper." I won’t say anything about you if the workers complain about it. Last week you published a manuscript that accused Jinfeng Bank, saying that their bank lending interest rate is too high, and the interest rate should be lowered to leave a way for ordinary people to survive. Do you know I know that your Uncle Qin got very angry when you posted this article? And who is He Yuxiu today? A genius! A genius who is hard to come by in a hundred years! I went to Kyoto five years ago, and his paintings already exist There is no market, and it is hard to find a painting. You actually said in the newspaper that he asked for a painting? Who is he? As for asking for a painting? Use your brain to think about it, is it possible? Who do you think you are? , without your father protecting you, you are nothing! Self-righteous fellow!"

He put down the pen in his hand and snorted coldly: "I think I am self-righteous? It is true that the dock workers were wrongly beaten, it is true that Jinfeng Bank's loan interest is too high, and it is true that He Yuxiu asked for a painting entrustment." Really? When is it self-righteous to tell the truth? Is it right for me to say irrelevant scenes like you and write flattering articles every day to cater to others? Sorry, I’m really not as good as you, Every word I write is based on my own conscience."

Xu Yuanzhu laughed angrily, "Really? What is true, do you really know what is true? I think you don't even know who you are! If your surname is not Xu, you think your so-called conscience How many people will read the articles I wrote? Xu Shaoqing, let me tell you, the articles in "Ningbao" must follow the old rules. After so many years, do you want to change? Don't even think about it!" He patted the table heavily, Immediately afterwards, she turned her back and did not want to look at him again.

Xu Shaoqing's face darkened, and he tried his best to suppress his anger.

"Xu Yuanzhu."

Xu Yuanzhu turned his head in disbelief, this bastard actually called himself by his first name.

"You..." Xu Yuanzhu knocked on his crutches, blowing his beard and staring with anger.

Xu Shaoqing glanced at him rather disappointed, and said: "Xu Yuanzhu, when you were a child, you told me that the Ning Bao's Ning was based on the 'people are the foundation of the country, and this solid state is Ning'. What about now? Ning...Bengu Bangning, huh...I think this 'Ning' is Ning who calms things down."

Hearing this, Xu Yuanzhu's face was rather ugly, "Xu Shaoqing!"

"You...cough cough..." He coughed heavily, his face and neck were stained with an unhealthy blush.

"I... I, Xu Yuanzhu, why did I give birth to such an unworthy offspring like you! How can I trust you to hand over the "Ning Bao" to you!" Xu Yuanzhu raised his crutch, and it was about to hit Xu Shaoqing. Xu Shaoqing lifted it Holding it firmly, he sneered: "Yes, my son is not filial and failed to obey you. You can have another son. Isn't this Aunt Zhi? You are absolutely satisfied with the son she gave birth to."

"Bastard!" Xu Yuanzhu was so angry that he casually touched something from the table and threw it at it.The black object hit Xu Shaoqing's shoulder, and he grunted, and took a few steps back while clutching his shoulder.Xu Yuanzhu was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was an inkstone, he took a few steps forward, opened his mouth to say something, before he could say anything, Xu Shaoqing glanced at him, picked up the piece Yantai smiled sarcastically, and put that piece of inkstone on the table.

"Don't worry, your precious inkstone is not broken."

He didn't mean it that way.

Xu Yuanzhu looked at his son's back, sat down slumped, and sighed heavily. He rubbed the center of his brows, feeling quite tired.

Here Xu Shaoqing came out of the study with a sullen face, and met Xu Zhining who was about to bring water in. The two looked at each other. Xu Shaoqing only looked at her and then looked away. Xu Shaoqing choked back, "Don't talk too much, this is our Xu family's own business, don't worry about it."

After that, he turned sideways and walked over.

Behind her, Zhi Ning's face turned pale for a moment, and she was stunned for a long time before opening the door and entering the room.

The door of the study was open, and Xu Shaoqing heard Xu Yuanzhu's soft voice coming from inside.

"Zhi Ning, you're here."

Compared to the previous harsh reprimand to him, Xu Yuanzhu treats Xu Zhining, a nurse who has been here for less than three years, as tenderly as he treats a lover.

Thinking of the word "lover", Xu Shaoqing was really disgusted by himself.He frowned, glanced back at the door of the study, took a step forward, finally shook his head, retracted it, then turned and walked towards the stairs.

"Master, you are angry at the young master again."

Xu Yuanzhu glanced at her and sighed, "This kid is too disobedient."

Xu Zhining poured him a cup of hot tea, and persuaded him: "Master is getting old, how can you let everything go according to your temper, he also has his own ideas, it's useless if you just beat him and scold him, it's better to be with him Speak well, and he may still be able to listen."

Xu Yuanzhu snorted, "Is it useful? Who has that kid heard since his mother died."

Xu Zhining sighed helplessly, "Master..."

Xu Shaoqing went back to his room and packed his things. He couldn't stay in this house for a quarter of an hour.

When he went downstairs carrying the suitcase, he ran into Xu Yuanzhu. Xu Yuanzhu glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Going?"

Xu Shaoqing didn't speak, just walked by himself.

Xu Yuanzhu was so angry that his cheeks puffed up, "Don't come back when you leave!"

Xu Shaoqing didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he went downstairs with his things.

Xu Changning hasn't come back at this time, she always likes to go out to play with her little sisters recently, but she doesn't see anyone every day.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Shaoqing thought of Xu Changning, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, followed by a female voice, "Oh, I'm so exhausted..."

Xu Changning was wearing a bright yellow woven silk jacket skirt with a waste collar and a large placket today, with patterns on the skirt and sleeves, a pair of shoes with slightly heels, and a small bag on his arm. Pin it with a pearl barrette for a playful and cute look.Xu Shaoqing looked up and said with a smile, "Are you going on a blind date? You are so beautifully dressed."

Xu Changning blushed and stomped his feet lightly. Seeing that Xu Yuanzhu had also come down, he turned to look at Xu Yuanzhu and complained: "Dad, look at brother!"

Xu Yuanzhu glared at Xu Shaoqing, "What are you talking about, Ningning is only this year."

Xu Shaoqing sighed and wisely stopped talking.

Xu Changning's eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them, and then he looked at the box in Xu Shaoqing's hand, and after a little thought, he knew that the two had quarreled again.She enthusiastically walked over to hold Xu Shaoqing's arm, "Oh, why do you have to leave as soon as I come, you are so hungry, brother, have you eaten yet? Have a meal with me."

Xu Shaoqing never thought that this little girl was quite strong, and when he was about to walk to the door, he abruptly abducted him to the restaurant again.

"Ningning..." He sighed, and had to have another meal at Xu's.

"Why did Ningning come back so late today? Didn't he say that he went to play at Zijing's house, so he went back?" Xu Yuanzhu turned to ask Xu Changning without looking at Xu Shaoqing.

"Oh... I originally said to go and return, but today Zijing told me a big news, guess what?"

"What's the matter?"

"She's getting married soon."

Xu Yuanzhu stopped moving his chopsticks and asked, "Married?"

"That's right, I was scared to death when I heard that, saying that the other party is the son of Ruixiang Jewelry Company, and her father ordered it for her."

Xu Changning sighed, with a gloomy expression on his face, and said, "Zi Jing doesn't seem to want to marry him very much, saying that he is a flirtatious man, and he is ten years older than her."

Xu Shaoqing knew that she was looking for topics to enliven the atmosphere, but he couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard the sound. He had seen the girl Zijing before. She was small and spoke softly. She felt like a little girl. Think of the age to get married.

Xu Yuanzhu interrupted her, "Don't talk nonsense, your uncle Qin has his own reasons for doing things, can he still make his daughter suffer?"

"Can…"

"Come on, eat quickly, the food is getting cold." Xu Shaoqing raised his head and glanced at Xu Changning, only to see that she really glared at him.After lunch, Xu Shaoqing picked up the suitcase again and prepared to leave. Xu Changning followed behind him, "Brother...brother...what's the matter with you, you want to move out?"

"Ah."

"Really, did you and dad quarrel again?"

Xu Shaoqing paused, "Don't worry about these things, just study hard at home."

Xu Changning's eyes turned red when he heard the sound, "What's the matter? I don't care if you two are arguing. You move out and no one takes care of you. What if something happens to you?"

Xu Shaoqing didn't need to look to know that she was crying again. He pinched the center of his brows and handed her a handkerchief, "Don't cry, I just want to go out and be quiet, nothing will happen."

"Really?"

After repeatedly promising that nothing would happen to him, Xu Changning let him go.

He had stayed in Ningpu for many years, and he was familiar with it very well. He soon found an apartment to live in. When he went in with his suitcase, some moisture got into his nose, which reminded him of the days when he was studying alone in a foreign country.

The landlord hired someone to clean it, the dark golden curtains were pulled open at once, the outside light came in, the weather was still gloomy, Xu Shaoqing felt a little cold, so he bought some wine to drive away some of the chill.He loosened his tie and slumped down on the sofa.

Something caught him in his pocket, he reached out his hand to feel it, and took out the pearl flower.

"He Yuxiu..."

He remembered that person's name, and what his father said, and suddenly had a very weird idea.

What if he really wasn't that kind of person?

After a while, he shook his head again, denying himself in his heart.Impossible, his father also knew only a little about He Yuxiu, he heard it from hearsay, he saw it with his own eyes, and there are photos to prove it, so could it be fake?
