*******************

Su Zixin's residence is in the southeast of the mansion, with a spacious living room, study and inner room, and a small garden outside the door of the house.

Looking at such a spacious and comfortable environment, Su Shanyun couldn't help but think that even if Aunt Tang came to live, it would be more than enough.

Su Zixin beckoned her to sit down and personally poured her tea.

She hurriedly thanked her.

After taking a few sips of tea, Su Shanyun began to look around the room.

But in the center of the hall there was a square rosewood table and six chairs with treasure pattern backrests, a landscape painting hung on the wall, and an Arhat bed and a small coffee table by the window, but nothing else.

Since the study was close to the living room and the door was facing this side, Su Shanyun could see that there were neat books on the shelves in the study.

"I eat at the yamen on weekdays, so I don't have anything to eat at home, please forgive me!" Su Zixin said.

"It's okay, it's okay." Su Shanyun said busily.

Su Zixin went into the room and took out a blue and white porcelain plate, grabbed a handful of the dim sum brought by Guo and put it on the plate, and then moved it to Su Shanyun's.

"Eat a snack." Su Zixin said.

"Okay." Su Shanyun picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it.

Su Shanyun thought in her heart while eating: Uncle Mo doesn't even have a subordinate?

Thinking like this, she hurriedly looked around again, but there was no sign of anyone. So he asked curiously, "Don't you have a descendant?" ”

Su Zixin's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and he pondered for a while before saying, "There was one before, but then I felt that there wasn't much to take care of at home, so I dismissed him." ”

The dignified four-grade Beijing official didn't even have a subordinate? If Su Shanyun hadn't seen this with his own eyes, I'm afraid he wouldn't have dared to believe it.

Su Shanyun was a little puzzled.

It stands to reason that even if my uncle gives half of my money to my aunt every month, there is still a lot of money left, why is it so down? Could it really be that he spent on 'buying books, traveling, and feasting', as his aunt said?

But according to Su Shanyun's observation, my uncle doesn't seem to be a person who loves to spend time and drink.

Su Shanyun looked at Su Zixin, and saw that the other party seemed to be a little uneasy, so she had the courage to ask, "Uncle, how have you been doing all these years?" ”

This question made Su Zixin's eyes heat again, and he said with a smile: "It's okay." But in everyone's eyes, I should be a person who has failed in life. ”

"How do you say that? We don't see you that way. Su Shanyun said busily.

It's a fact.

Everyone just thinks he's a little mysterious.

If you want to say that you have failed in life, it is not so.

"Even if you don't think so. But I think so, I have lived a failure, I admit this from the bottom of my heart, but I also insist. Although that kind of persistence may not be understood by anyone. Su Zixin sighed and said. There was guilt in his tone.

Su Shanyun asked: "Does it mean political affairs?" ”

"It's not. Actually, I don't care that much about political affairs, if I could have cared a little more, I'm afraid I would have risen a long time ago. Su Zixin said.

Since he doesn't care much about politics either. So what is he busy with every day besides the affairs of the yamen? What does he mean by persistence? Su Shanyun couldn't help but be curious.

Su Shanyun decided to seize this opportunity to learn about him, whether it was about his life or his thoughts. So she asked, "What will you do when you come back from the past?" ”

Su Shanyun knew that he didn't often go to Su Zizhao's side.

Strictly speaking, he doesn't often go to several relatives' homes in the capital.

She still remembered that last time, a cousin who also lived in the capital complained: Xin Bo is a person who values family and friendship very lightly.

She could hear what he meant by his words, which was that Su Zixin was ruthless and unrighteous.

But is that really the case?

"It's basically at home." Su Zixin replied. He didn't seem to want to answer such a question, so his expression was a little unnatural.

Su Shanyun pretended not to understand his expression and continued to ask: "Just read a book and drink tea at home?" ”

Su Zixin hesitated for a moment and replied, "Almost." ”

That means there's more to it than that.

Su Shanyun fixed her gaze on his face again.

Su Zixin changed his sitting posture and smiled reluctantly at Su Shanyun: "Let's put it this way, I still write a book." ”

This answer reassured Su Shanyun a lot, and said with a smile: "That's good, you are from a Jinshi, and your knowledge is already high, so it's really a waste to talk about it without a book." ”

"But I've been writing this book for almost 17 years." Su Zixin said.

Su Shanyun looked at him with a surprised expression.

Su Zixin seemed to be a little relieved, he smiled and said, "I know you will be surprised, so I have never told anyone about it." ”

"Actually, you can tell us that writing a book is not something to be seen for." Su Shanyun said busily.

She was now curious about what kind of book he had written.

"Come, I'll show you something." Su Zixin stood up as if he had made up his mind and said to Su Shanyun.

Su Shanyun's heart was suddenly scared for no reason.

But she quickly adjusted, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Su Zixin took her to the study.

Passing the rows of bookshelves in the study, they came to a doorway.

Su Zixin took out the key from his pocket to open the iron door, and then opened the window in the house, so that Su Shanyun could see the situation in the house.

Oh my God, this small rectangular room is full of carvings.

There are stone carvings, wood carvings, jade carvings, clay carvings, bamboo carvings, bone carvings, the big ones are the size of a table, and the small ones are smaller than a finger. There are many forms and dazzling.

Su Shanyun picked up a few of them and looked at them, and found that they were all things with a certain year.

"It must have taken a lot of effort to collect it, right?" Su Shanyun asked with concern.

"Well, it's been nearly twenty years, and most of these things have been bought by me from people and collectors, and the two oldest ones are from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." Su Zixin said, reached out and took out a wooden carved box from an iron cabinet, and took out a jade dragon wall and a copper ear from it to show Su Shanyun.

Su Shanyun picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while, feeling that the shape and material were very special, but because she didn't know much about tasting, she didn't dare to make any comments.

Such a room of antiques costs a lot of money when you think about it, and Su Shanyun vaguely knows where his money is spent.

"Does the family know that you have this in your collection?" Su Shanyun asked.

Su Zixin, who was obsessively watching a jade carving, hurriedly put things down, sighed and said, "I haven't told them about it." Actually, there were several times when I wanted to say it, but when I thought that they would make a lot of noise and even force me to sell them, I couldn't help but say it. ”

They won't understand him.

They might even get the idea of these carvings.

Human nature cannot stand the test, even if the other party is the closest person.

"These things are a money-making treasure in the hands of the bad guys, but their true value is ignored." Su Zixin said.

Su Shanyun nodded. (To be continued.) )
