Chapter 38: When will the years be spared?
Ye Jingsheng looked at Su Wan's self-blaming appearance, and felt a little unbearable, got up and walked to Su Wan's side, reached out to hold Su Wan's fingers that had been twisting the corners of her clothes, and slowly went up until she held the entire palm.
Su Wan was stunned, raised her head and looked at Ye Jingsheng in a daze.
But seeing Ye Jingsheng calmly asked, "Uncle Zhuang, is there any way to make Buzhuang survive the crisis now?" ”
In one sentence, Su Wan's attention was successfully diverted. Su Wan looked at Zhuang Zhou, she also wanted to know.
Zhuang Zhou touched the eight-character black beard on his upper lip, was silent for a moment, then looked up at Ye Jingsheng, and stopped talking.
Ye Jingsheng saw Zhuang Zhou's thoughts, and comforted Zhuang Zhou's heart with a firm tone, "Uncle Zhuang, although you raise it, this matter is about the survival of the Ye family. There is still half a point of hope, and I will not give up! ”
"Young master, there is someone who may be able to help Buzhuang." Zhuang Zhou said with some hesitation, "I just don't know if he will help." ”
"Who is it?" Ye Jingsheng asked.
Zhuang Zhou raised his head and looked at Ye Jingsheng, and touched his mustache, "I wonder if the young master still has an impression of the second master?" ”
"Second master?" Ye Jingsheng frowned and fell into memory.
"Who is this second master?" Su Wan on the side listened a little blindfolded.
Zhuang Zhou bowed slightly to show politeness, "Young grandmother, this second master is the younger brother of the master, Ye Qiankun." ”
"That's my uncle." Su Wan reacted.
"Exactly." Zhuang Zhou responded.
Ye Jingsheng frowned, "Uncle went out to work alone when I was young, and I have an impression of him, but it is also a little. It's just that my uncle hasn't heard from my family for so many years, so why does Uncle Zhuang say that my uncle can help us tide over the difficulties? ”
"Don't hide it from the young master, this time the master went to Wuhan, first, to inspect the factory there, and secondly, because he heard that the second master was in Wuhan, and the master wanted to find out." Zhuang Zhou said slowly: "It's just that I didn't expect that the old man and the second master broke up unhappily again. So I didn't mention it again after I came back. ”
"Why did my uncle and father break up unhappily?" Su Wan asked.
Zhuang Zhou sighed, "This has to start when the old lady passed away." At that time, the second master was full of vigor and full of ideas, so he wanted to re-reform the splendid cloth village and introduce the technology of foreigners. Because the splendid cloth village is the foundation of the ancestors, the master did not agree with the second master's idea. The second master had a big quarrel with the master because of this matter, and left home angrily. It's been sixteen years. Zhuang Zhou sighed helplessly, when the years have spared people, there are always rounds of depression and no return.
Ye Jingsheng didn't speak when he heard the sound, but slowly rubbed his thumb and index finger.
"Sixteen years?" Su Wan exclaimed, it was estimated that she was not born at that time. "Is Uncle okay now?"
Zhuang Zhou nodded, "I heard from the old man that the second master set up a weaving factory in Wuhan with his own strength, and he is also doing well." So," Zhuang Zhou paused and looked at Ye Jingsheng, "I just thought that now that Buzhuang is in a predicament, if the second master is willing to help, there may be a turnaround." ”
"I was born from the same root, and I think my uncle shouldn't die without help." Su Wan seemed to see a ray of light, like a light when she was wandering helplessly in the dark.
Zhuang Zhou sighed slightly, with a hint of helplessness, "The young grandmother doesn't know, the second master has a strange temperament, and he won't do anything unprofitable." ”
"There's a glimmer of hope, and we're going to hold on to it!" Ye Jingsheng stood up suddenly, his eyes burning, revealing a determined look. "Uncle Zhuang, please help me book a ticket to Wuhan tomorrow at the earliest."
Zhuang Zhou glanced at Ye Jingsheng, showed a pleased smile, and nodded, "Hey, I'll decide." With that, he walked out of the hall.
Ye Jingsheng took a deep breath, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he had to persevere, because there was no way back behind him. Ye Jingsheng turned around, but collided with Su Wan's gaze. I saw that the little person's eyes revealed a little brightness, and he was quite bright.
Ye Jingsheng bowed his head, slowly walked a few steps, and got a little closer, "Su Wan." ”
"Hmm." Su Wan looked at the young man in front of her with a pair of dark and shiny eyes, and her focused expression was like a child who saw something she liked.
Looking at Su Wan's expression, Ye Jingsheng pursed his lips slightly, "In the days when I left home, my father still has to work hard for you to take care of it." ”
Su Wan's eyes drooped slightly, and the corners of her lips slowly rose. Ye Jingsheng looked at Su Wan's appearance, thinking that Su Wan had acquiesced, and hesitated for a while, then turned around and walked out.
Sometimes, hesitation is really a bad thing. Ye Jingsheng hated his indecisive personality very much, but he couldn't control this character. The heart is always inexplicably soft when it shouldn't be.
Su Wan raised her head and looked at Ye Jingsheng's back, the small black beads were full of the back of a young man, and the upward arc of her lips slowly put down.
"Jingsheng, forgive me, Su Wan can't deal with you."
——
Night slowly fell, and the sound of insects in the yard also sounded from the quiet grass and trees, adding a bit of vitality to the originally quiet night.
A figure stretched on the ground in the moonlight, step by step, through the reflection of the trees, slowly spreading to the steps and refracting to the door.
Ye Jingsheng looked at the closed door in front of him, stretched out his hand and gently pushed it open. The candle flame in the room flickered a few times as the door opened. Ye Jingsheng walked in quietly, bypassing the landscape screen, only to see Ye Qianzhong sleeping peacefully on the bed.
"Dad, Jing Sheng will live up to your expectations!"
Ye Jingsheng knelt on his knees, looked at Ye Qianzhong and secretly swore.
Outside the door, the wind blew the pale green corners of the skirt. Su Wan stood outside the door, and the figure inside was faintly visible through the screen.
Such a stubborn young man made her feel distressed.
I am most afraid of natural growth on the road, sudden accidents, forced to mature ahead of time and take responsibility.
The stars do not know everything, but they still exude their scorching brilliance. Twinkle and twinkle, although the light is not as bright as the moon, it also has a unique brilliance.
As the minutes passed, the stars slowly dimmed, and even the moon could only faintly see the outline of the moon when the sky was glowing white.
Ye Jingsheng was wearing a light brown checkered striped suit, carrying a black suitcase in his hand, and walked straight to the door. Looking at the empty courtyard, Ye Jingsheng lowered his eyes slightly, and turned to look at Zhuang Zhou on the side.
"Uncle Zhuang, just let Ah Si take me to the dock. At home, please take care of it. ”
"Young master, what are you talking about? It is my Lao Zhou's obligation to take good care of my family and take care of my lord. Zhuang Zhou said sincerely, "It's you, young master, you need to be more careful when you go out alone." ”
"Well, I will, Uncle Zhuang." Ye Jingsheng shook Zhuang Zhou's hand and said with relief.
Zhuang Zhou looked at the courtyard in the gate, it was empty, "What about this young grandmother?" Why don't you come? ”
Ye Jingsheng held Zhuang Zhou's hand for a moment, and then slowly let go, the corners of his lips rose slightly, "Xu hasn't woken up yet." ”
"But," Zhuang Zhou's eyebrows frowned, this is not like the usual style of the young grandmother. The young master is going to travel far away, why doesn't the young grandmother come to see him off?
"Uncle Zhuang, I'll go first." Ye Jingsheng interrupted Zhuang Zhou's words, turned around slightly, and turned around and got into the carriage. Actually, he understood what Zhuang Zhou wanted to say.
But sometimes, it's good not to say goodbye and not to see separation.
"Drive!" Ah Siyi flicked the horsewhip, and the carriage walked slowly and leisurely.
Zhuang Zhou stood outside the courtyard gate, looking at the carriage that was moving away, with infinite sustenance in his eyes. I hope that the young master will go, so to speak, the second master will help.
Although it was not yet full of light, there were already many people on the pier. One by one, they hurried to the passenger ship with their luggage.
"Donkey~" Ah Si reined in his horse and jumped out of the carriage, "Young master, the dock has arrived." ”
Ye Jingsheng opened his eyes when he heard the sound, picked up the curtain and got out of the carriage with the suitcase on the side. Looking at the crowd of people coming and going on the dock, Ye Jingsheng exhaled deeply. Turned to look at Ah Si, "Ah Si, you go back." ”
"Hey, young master, you pay attention to safety and take care of yourself." Ah Si nodded in response.
"Hmm." Ye Jingsheng moved the corners of his lips slightly, nodded, and walked to the dock with his suitcase.
On the wide lake, a passenger boat is docked on the shore, and people keep stepping on the board with tickets and walking onto the boat. Ye Jingsheng took the ticket in his hand, stood in front of the board and stopped, turned around and looked back. I saw the figure of Ah Si waving his arms, and there was no familiar figure. The corners of Ye Jingsheng's lips moved slightly, waved his hand at Ah Si, signaled him to go back, then turned around, lowered his eyes, and handed the ticket in his hand to the ticket inspector for checking. After passing the ticket inspection, Ye Jingsheng stepped on the board of the boat and got on the boat.
The boat gradually filled with people, and the sailors pulled up the planks to isolate the distance between the ship and the shore. The sailors on the side pulled up the anchor that had sunk to the bottom of the river, and with a 'whin' sound, the boat gradually moved away from the river bank and drifted on the lake, farther and farther away.
Ye Jingsheng stood on the boat board, looking at the riverbank that was gradually moving away, and the inexplicable emotions in his heart were spreading.
I don't know if the eldest brother was in the same mood when he left as he is now, and he can't tell.
A petite figure quietly came behind Ye Jingsheng, looked at Ye Jingsheng's slightly lonely back, and called softly, "Jingsheng." ”
Ye Jingsheng listened to the familiar voice, his body trembled, and he turned around slowly, and when he saw the face of the person behind him, he couldn't help frowning, "Su Wan, you,"
Su Wan took a step back slightly, lowered her head, and twisted the corners of her clothes with her fingers, "Jingsheng, I know you won't take me with you, so I secretly bought a ticket and got on the boat one step ahead of you." If you want to scold me, just scold me. Su Wan nervously twisted the corners of her clothes and lowered her head, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
Ye Jingsheng looked at Su Wan's aggrieved appearance, and all the reproachful words in his heart came to his mouth, but he couldn't say it, just quietly looked at the little woman with her head bowed in front of her.
The crowd on the boat board suddenly crowded, Su Wan didn't know who pushed her, and she stumbled and threw herself forward.
