701 Father and son talk
701
"Jingde, don't be like this, you can live a good life in the future. Xiao Ziyu persuaded.
Xiao Jingde was really moved, "Third sister, you are really good, I am very grateful for what you have done for our mother and son, even if we stay in the imperial capital, even if we barely enter the door of the Xiao family, we may not be able to get these." Xiao Jingde said sincerely.
"It's nothing, I told your mother and your sister at the time, although I let you leave the imperial capital, I won't treat you badly. Xiao Ziyu said directly.
Whether it was at the beginning or now, Xiao Ziyu has never broken his promise.
"Anyway, I will never forget everything that the third sister did for me. Xiao Jingde said word by word.
"As long as you can live well. Xiao Ziyu said with a smile.
"Okay, you haven't had dinner yet, come with me, and I'll have someone send you back early tomorrow morning." Xiao Ziyu said.
Xiao Jingde nodded, "Okay, thank you Third Sister." β
"What's so polite to me? β
Xiao Jingde looked at Xiao Ziyu and thought for a while before he spoke, "Third sister, I have a reluctant request, of course, if you can't, forget it." β
Xiao Ziyu thought for a while and said, "Do you want to meet your father?"
Xiao Jingde nodded, "Yes, I want to see my father." Xiao Jingde didn't know if this request was a bit excessive, but this was his real thought.
"Yes, my father will be back soon, after dinner, my father will probably go to the study, can I take you to the study to meet him?" Xiao Ziyu asked.
"Third sister, do you agree?" Xiao Jingde asked with some surprise.
Xiao Jingde really didn't expect Xiao Ziyu to agree.
"Of course I agreed, what can't I say yes. Xiao Ziyu thinks this is also a normal thing, to be honest, if it were Xiao Zixiu, Xiao Ziyu might not agree, mainly because Xiao Zixiu doesn't know the severity, if she sees Xiao Qinghe, she will definitely make a fuss, but Xiao Jingde is different, Xiao Jingde is so sensible, he will definitely not mess around, so if you want to see it, you can see it.
She believes that Xiao Jingde is measured.
"Thank you, third sister. Xiao Jingde saluted again respectfully.
"Okay, you and my brother and sister, you don't need to be polite. β
After a while, Xiao Ziyu asked Xiuxin to set the meal.
The dinner is very rich, but Xiao Ziyu doesn't know what Xiao Jingde likes to eat, but generally seven or eight-year-old boys still like to eat some meat dishes.
Xiao Jinghao is like this.
Although Xiao Jinghao is still very young, he loves meat and rarely eats vegetables.
At the dinner table, Xiao Ziyu could see that Xiao Jingde was basically not a picky eater, and he also learned etiquette very well.
All in all, Xiao Jingde is really a very likable child.
The amount of food is not large, so it is moderate.
After the two of them finished eating, after a while, Xiao Ziyu estimated that the time was almost up, so she took Xiao Jingde to Xiao Qinghe's study.
Naturally, the guards would not stop Xiao Ziyu.
Xiao Ziyu knocked on the door.
Xiao Qinghe's deep voice slowly sounded, "Who?"
"Father, it's me. Xiao Ziyu responded.
"Yu'er, come in. β
Xiao Ziyu pushed the door and walked in.
Xiao Qinghe raised his head and saw Xiao Ziyu, and naturally saw Xiao Jingde behind Xiao Ziyu, to be honest, Xiao Qinghe was a little surprised, he didn't expect Xiao Jingde to come over.
However, Xiao Qinghe was still very happy.
Anyway, Xiao Zixiu and Xiao Jingde are also his children, how can he not worry.
"The son greets his father. Xiao Jingde still saluted respectfully, and there was no difference in the number of courtesies.
Xiao Qinghe looked at Xiao Jingde approvingly, "Get up." β
Xiao Jingde stood up at this time.
Xiao Qinghe pointed to the side, "You sisters and brothers sit down and talk." β
Xiao Ziyu thought for a while and said with a smile, "Father, I'll go find a book to read, and you can talk to your brother." After Xiao Ziyu finished speaking, he turned around and entered the inner room.
Xiao Qinghe's study is very large, and the sound insulation effect is also very good, talking outside, you can't hear it in the inner room.
So Xiao Ziyu also wants to leave some private space for the father and son.
Xiao Jingde looked at the back of Xiao Ziyu leaving, and he gradually understood why Xiao Ziyu could start to take charge of the Xiao family's internal affairs when she was young, why she would now become the high-minded princess of Yu, and why her father valued her so much, to be honest, this is what she should share.
If his sister has one-tenth of Xiao Ziyu, it is estimated that she will also get some love from her father.
His sister is indeed not a little bit different from Xiao Ziyu, a distance of 108,000 miles.
"What, do you have an opinion on your third sister?" Xiao Qinghe asked casually.
Xiao Qinghe has been very strict with Xiao Jingde since he was very young, because Xiao Qinghe knew that Ye Huixin and their mother and son always relied on Xiao Jingde.
He didn't have so much time to wait for Xiao Jingde to grow up, so from childhood to adulthood, he didn't love Xiao Jingde as a son, but raised him as a man.
That's why he developed such a mature character as Xiao Jingde.
"No, I just think the third sister is good. Xiao Jingde said sincerely.
"Yes, your third sister is very good, if your third sister is a man, whether she is a concubine or a concubine, I will hand it over to her, she is more suitable than your eldest brother to be the head of the Xiao family, but it's a pity, your third sister is a girl, and the head of the Xiao family has always been a man, this is a family rule, and I can't do anything about it." Xiao Qinghe has been sorry for this matter for a long time.
Xiao Qinghe himself has no preference for men and women.
To be honest, Xiao Qing and himself are more important to Xiao Ziyu than Xiao Jingchen.
Xiao Jingchen still has a lot of shortcomings, but to put it bluntly, Xiao Ziyu does not.
Xiao Ziyu has everything that a family head should have, that kind of calm and capable, and never panic when encountering problems.
Xiao Jingchen just thinks a lot more and doesn't act decisively, but overall, he can be regarded as a qualified heir.
"That's right, I also think the third sister is very good, she should not have any mistakes in doing things. Xiao Jingde also admired.
"Jingde, your third sister has never acted according to her own preferences, she has always considered the overall situation, such a person can achieve great things, my father also told you before, you should broaden your horizons, you should have a farther vision, and you will only get if you give up, but you are still young now, and you will understand slowly. Xiao Qinghe said earnestly.
"Father, I understand, I have already agreed with my third sister, and in two days, we will be leaving, and I have come to say goodbye to my father. Xiao Jingde arched his hand and said.
Xiao Qinghe was not surprised that Xiao Jingde made this decision, in fact, Xiao Jingde is really a very sensible child, and since he was a child, Xiao Qinghe felt that Xiao Jingde's child was definitely not a thing in the pool.
It will be a great thing in the future.
"Good boy, father knows that you will make the right decision. Xiao Qinghe nodded and said.
"The father's teachings over the years, the son has kept it in mind, the father please rest assured, the son will take care of his mother and sister, if the mother wants to remarry in the future, the son will definitely look good for the mother, and will not let the mother be wronged. β
"Well, I've told you before, if your mother finds her own happiness, don't stop it, but you also have to be more hearty for your mother, you know? Xiao Qinghe advised.
Xiao Qinghe actually didn't have too many requirements for Ye Huixin to remarry or not, this was Ye Huixin's business, and it had nothing to do with him, he also told Xiao Jingde at that time that he must let Xiao Jingde take care of their mother and daughter, for this pair of women, to be honest, Xiao Qinghe was still a little uneasy.
Ye Huixin is not a stupid person, but she is not extremely smart, over the years, Xiao Qinghe has basically not looked at the careful tricks she has played.
They just pretended not to see it.
Xiao Zixiu don't mention it, it's definitely the kind of grass that grows in the head, this mother and son, the one who can be the master of the house in the future is still Xiao Jingde, so Xiao Qinghe will cultivate Xiao Jingde like this, just to pave the way for the future life of the mother and son.
In fact, Xiao Qinghe also knew that doing this would embarrass an eight-year-old child, but Xiao Qinghe had no better choice.
"Father, are you really missing your mother and sister?" Xiao Jingde asked.
"It's better not to see each other than to see each other, for the Father and your Mother, it started by a mistake, and it should have ended a long time ago. Xiao Qinghe said with a sigh.
Xiao Jingde didn't say anything, in fact, Xiao Jingde also knew that he was not qualified to say anything, this was originally a matter between adults, and it was not clear what he didn't understand.
"Well, this can't be forced in the first place. Xiao Jingde said.
"It shouldn't be reluctant, it was also considered inappropriate to be a father at the beginning, in fact, I should give your mother a compensation, so that she can take away the child, and there will be no current entanglement, once upon a time, being a father was also a little regretful. Xiao Qinghe said.
Xiao Jingde was also a little uncomfortable when he heard it in his heart, probably in Xiao Qinghe's heart, the three of them were redundant.
If not superfluous, it's an insignificant role.
"Father, have you never loved your mother?" Xiao Jingde didn't know why, he still wanted to ask, although he knew what the answer was, he still seemed to be so unwilling, he wanted to ask, even if it was to ask for a result for his mother, it was good.
"No, never, in my father's life, if I talk about love, I have only loved one woman, that is, my father's current wife, and for other women, I like it for a while. It's just that when I was young, my father didn't understand what love was, and I particularly resisted this kind of love, so I would unscrupulously test and hurt, and until now, I can't regret it, so now my father doesn't want to have a little thing to hurt her, maybe if you say this now, you won't understand, and when you grow up and have a woman of love, you will understand. After Xiao Qinghe finished speaking, he sighed deeply.
In fact, the original injury, by now, has long been full of holes, Xiao Qinghe and himself feel that they should be cut by a thousand knives.
From a very early age, the person he loved should be Mrs. Xiao, but at that time, he didn't understand love, but resisted this kind of love.
He was very resistant to caring so much about a woman's feelings, so he thought about how to forget this woman, and then he was going to hurt, hurt each other, torture each other, think about that kind of behavior, he was really crazy, there was really something wrong, and everyone's life was so difficult.
Of course, now he wouldn't do such a stupid thing, so he would minimize the damage.
Hearing these words, Xiao Jingde suddenly realized that his mother was very sad, and the man she loved with all her might didn't have any love for her at all.
From the very beginning of the scene, there is probably no friendship at all now, as for the last idea, it is only because she gave birth to children for this man.
"Father, I understand, in fact, it is right that you don't see your mother, because in your heart, there is no need for this. Xiao Jingde said.
In fact, Xiao Jingde said that he didn't hate, but he was also helpless, in this world, only feelings are helpless.
"Jingde, maybe you will feel that your father treats your mother very ruthlessly, you won't understand it now, when you have someone you love, you will understand, understand that kind of feeling, I'd rather lose the world than bear her alone, since two years ago, my father began to plan to settle your mother and son elsewhere, not only today, from the day my father decided to live a good life with his wife. Xiao Qinghe explained.
"Well, I hope that my father can live a good life with his wife, and I also hope that in the future, my father will not have another woman, and he will not beat himself up. Xiao Jingde said word by word, what he said was actually a little provocative, but Xiao Qinghe was not angry.
Because Xiao Qinghe knew that Xiao Jingde was holding grievances for his mother.
Men should be a little temperamental, and if it's just a soft egg, it's really boring.
"Don't worry, there won't be a day, when my father reaches this age, he naturally knows what he wants. Xiao Qinghe's tone was firm.
"Father, no matter what, I am still very grateful to the third sister for all this for us, in this life, I will never forget the great kindness of the third sister. Xiao Jingde said word by word, very seriously.
"Well, your third sister also discussed with me at the time, originally I planned to give you some of the properties under my name, but those industries are in the imperial capital, and the income is not as good as the shops in Nanzhou, speaking of business, or Nanzhou is richer, in the imperial capital's industry, it is not convenient for you to take care of it, or your third sister is thoughtful, but the father will not treat him badly, the father plans to leave the property originally given to your sister and brother, all of which are left to your third sister, although compared to these three percent of the shares, there is a drop in the bucket, but it is also some compensationγ β
"This is all as it should be, the third sister has done her best to us, and I am really moved to do this, but I am soft-spoken, and I can't do anything for the third sister now, but in the future, if the third sister can be useful to me, as long as I can do it, there is absolutely no second word. Xiao Jingde said categorically.
"Well, that's right, no matter what, you are also sisters and brothers, a family, maybe in the future, when we are gone, the fate of your sister and brother will continue. Xiao Qinghe said a little sadly.
"Don't say that, father, father will live a hundred years. Xiao Jingde immediately retorted.
Anyway, in Xiao Jingde's heart, Xiao Qinghe will always be his most respected father.
Xiao Qinghe has such magic, although it makes people hate a little, but more, it is love and respect, which Xiao Jingde can't forget.
"Jingde, come over and let your father hug you. Xiao Qinghe beckoned to Xiao Jingde.
Xiao Jingde obediently walked over.
Xiao Qinghe squatted down and hugged Xiao Jingde in his arms.
In fact, Xiao Qinghe hasn't seen Xiao Jingde for a long time, maybe a few months, the boy grows up very quickly, and Xiao Jingde has grown taller and stronger a lot.
"Good boy, I don't know when I will be able to see you again in the future, but there is anything that can be done with your third sister and your eldest brother, live a good life, take good care of your mother and your sister, do you hear?" Xiao Qinghe admonished, and his tone was also a little sad
