"Didn't you kid come for a few days, why did you suddenly think of coming here today?" Ling Yuan glanced at him and said teasingly.

He Chaoyang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Uncle, you have wronged me, there have been a lot of things recently, and I haven't been able to take the next meal for several days." ”

Ling Yuan picked up the wine on the table and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Bordeaux in '99, it seems that your matter has been resolved." ”

"No, that's why I came to you to ask for a meal." He Chaoyang laughed, "I didn't expect it to come by coincidence." ”

Su Ruo didn't listen carefully to the conversation after that, Xu Zhengting kept looking at her, her eyes were too hot, she twisted her eyebrows slightly, turned sideways slightly, and avoided looking at him. It wasn't until Ling Yuan called her to eat that she came back to her senses.

This meal was far less relaxed than imagined, and the atmosphere was witty under the drive of Uncle Ling Yuan. Coincidentally, Xu Zhengting was sitting opposite her, and when he looked up, he could see him laughing.

Xu Zhengting put some food into her bowl from time to time, Su Ruo didn't feel uncomfortable, anyway, he did the same when he was in Nanshankou before, and she got used to it over time.

It wasn't until he felt Shen Lansheng's gaze that could freeze people to death that Su Ruo realized that something was wrong. Shen Lansheng has never let her have too deep a relationship with other people, probably because she was not restrained by him during this time, so she became fluttering.

Su Ruo hurriedly signaled him with his eyes and asked him not to continue, but Xu Zhengting acted as if he didn't see it, and still went his own way. Su Ruo couldn't stand on either side, lowered her head and began to pick up the food in the bowl, eating it so quickly that a layer of fine sweat broke out on her forehead.

When Su Ruo finally finished eating, he raised his head, his face was full of red, his black and white eyes turned around, and he saw Shen Lansheng and Uncle Ling drinking, Shen Qiu and He Chaoyang talking, and he immediately slipped off the table regardless of Xu Zhengting looking at him.

After Su Ruo came out, she prayed in her heart that Uncle Ling would not blame her for being impolite when she got off the table early, and spat Xu Zhengting in her heart, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have run so fast.

She didn't know where to go, so she walked in a random direction. This Ling Mansion is built very atmospheric, it is the Oriental architecture in memory, every flower and tree in the mansion has its own pattern, and the various theoretical buildings in the West are different, and the Oriental architecture has a natural taste in it.

After about a stick of incense, Su Ruo estimated that he should have walked to the backyard. But the strange thing is that Uncle Ling doesn't seem to have a wife, not even a concubine. Su Ruo continued to walk before, and found that there was a begonia tree planted in front of him!

It's May, and it's the season when begonia flowers are in full bloom. Clusters of begonia flowers are blooming one after another, blooming like brocade, beautiful and delicate, like the dawn of the sky. Su Ruo approached, sniffed deeply at the begonia flower, and then smiled slightly, as if he smelled it, but in fact, the begonia flower has no fragrance.

She still remembers that her aunt's favorite was this begonia, and she told herself that the begonia flower is a famous flower that is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, and has the reputation of "the fairy in the flower". Shen Qiu is the same as his aunt, and he also likes begonias, Su Ruo is different from the two, she likes the orchid, just like her mother.

Mother is indeed like that orchid, simple and quiet, elegant and upright. Her mother once told her that someone had said such a poem to her, "The spirit is like an orchid and will not change, and the heart will never change", and she has been reading it all the time.

"This begonia flower is very pleasing."

Ling Yuan's voice came from behind her, startling Su Ruo. She turned around and saw him standing there with his hands in his hands, no longer smiling on his face, just looking at the begonia flowers in front of him, as if he was reminiscing about his old friend.

"You should have a lot to ask me, come with me."

After Ling Yuan finished speaking, he walked forward and entered this flower forest. Su Ruo responded with a "yes", and hurriedly kept up with his pace and walked slowly.

"Does Uncle Ling like this begonia too?"

"Yes, not all." Ling Yuan thought for a moment when he heard this, "It's just that there is an old man who likes it, and over time he likes it." ”

"The deceased?" Su Ruo glanced at him, a graceful face flashed in his mind, and he had a plan in his heart.

The corners of Ling Yuan's mouth hooked, and he said, "Yes, old man, I am still very close to you." ”

Hearing his words, Su Ruo affirmed the thoughts in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ling, it's my aunt." ”

If it is really an uncle, then Uncle Ling is indeed infatuated, which makes her admire. Regardless of the fact that his aunt has long been married to his uncle, and he has not married until now, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines now, let alone the situation a few decades ago.

Ling Yuan stopped, poked her head with a smile, and said, "Your cleverness is exactly the same as your mother's. ”

"Her favorite thing in her life is begonias." Ling Yuan stretched out his hand and touched the begonia next to him, "This can be regarded as seeing things and thinking about people." ”

Su Ruo looked at him and didn't know what to say for a while, so he casually said something to divert the topic, and said, "Uncle Ling, uncle said that my mother and you have been close friends since childhood. ”

"I grew up with your mother, and when she was a child, she wasn't what you see, but on the contrary, she was very noisy." Ling Yuan laughed as she spoke, "She doesn't like school, and it just so happens that I don't want to go to school either, the two of us hit it off and always sneak out of the school." ”

Su Ruo seemed a little incredulous, and said in surprise: "Uncle Ling, you're not joking, are you?" "The mother she saw was completely different from the description.

Ling Yuan rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Your mother loved to drag me to skip school back then, do you know what is the most annoying?" ”

Su Ruo asked, "What is it?" ”

Ling Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Every time I skip school, I am chased and beaten by my father, and your mother watches me being beaten." ”

"Moreover, I also didn't go to school, but your mother took the first exam every time, and I was the first from the bottom every time."

When Su Ruo heard this, she couldn't help but wonder, it turned out that her mother still had such a past, it seemed that she was so skinny when she was a child, and it was no wonder that her mother never controlled her too much.

"Therefore, Sir punishes me every time, but not your mother. Later, I felt that I had lost and didn't want to be with her anymore. Ling Yuan paused as he spoke, looked at her and asked, "Do you know how your mother did it?" ”

Su Ruo thought for a while, but he didn't understand, so he shook his head. Ling Yuan laughed when he saw this, and said: "What should you do to her, start dragging me away, I won't, she picked up her fist and beat me directly, and then she can't do it without entering the thief ship." ”

Simple, brutal.

Su Ruo laughed out loud, feeling that these two words were the best way to describe them. Her mother was so happy when she was a child, which really made her look sideways, but the mother she remembered and Uncle Ling described it were like two people.

"And what about later?"

"Then your mother left her hometown and went to your uncle's house." Ling Yuan paused when he said this, glanced at her, and saw that she didn't react, before continuing, "It took ten years for me to see her again, and at this time she and your uncle already had a good relationship. ”

Su Ruo lowered her eyelids, her mother was afraid that she was already in love at this time, and she was right, otherwise how could the old saying always say that cousins and cousins are born as a pair?

Ling Yuan saw that her expression was wrong, so he tried to avoid the important and said lightly: "Later, your uncle went abroad and married your aunt after he came back. Your mother, on the other hand, was married to an Overseer who was not yet famous. ”

"And how did my mother marry my father?" Su Ruo raised her eyes to look at him and asked.

Ling Yuan glanced at her, thinking about how to organize the language in his mind, and after a while, he said, "Your mother and the Overseer had no relationship, but then they got together and separated, and then they married your father and went to Jiangnan. ”

Then, a year later, she gave birth to her, and she died of depression when she was eight years old, and she did not wait for the person she was waiting for until she died.

Su Ruo seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "Uncle Ling, do you know where your father went?" "Back then, her father sent her to the Shen Mansion and left without saying a word, saying that she went to the border, but I don't know where it was.

"Su Yan?" Ling Yuan thought for a while and said, "The last time I got the news, it is said that I was transferred to Xi'an. ”

Shaanxi? So far?

Su Ruo grabbed his arm expectantly, his eyes were shining, and he asked eagerly, "Then can you contact him?" ”

When Ling Yuan heard this, his face showed embarrassment, and he said, "Ruoruo, it's not that Uncle doesn't want to help you, but I don't know how to find him." ”

Su Ruo let go of his hand a little disappointed, oh, is that so?

"I know how to find Uncle Sue." Xu Zhengting put his hands in his trouser pockets, smiled with his eyebrows, and walked out from behind the two of them leisurely.

"When did you come?" Su Ruo was taken aback by the voice again, and didn't have time to pay attention to what he said.

"Not long ago." Seeing her frightened appearance, Xu Zhengting laughed out loud, "I said, I have a way to contact Uncle Su." ”

"What can you do?" Su Ruo glanced at him and asked.

Xu Zhengting's smile became brighter and brighter, and said, "Don't forget my identity, I am Xu Zhengting." "He's not just the seventh young master of the Xu family.

"So? How can you contact him? ”

Seeing her look of disbelief in him, Xu Zhengting said indifferently: "Don't you know that there is a place called the Investigation Department?" ”

Su Ruo still didn't react, Ling Yuan was quite surprised when he heard this, the intelligence station is a place like this, not that anyone can go if they want to, no matter how high your official position is, you can't enter, unless it is an insider.

"You've joined the Investigation Section." Not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.

"Nothing can escape Uncle Ling's eyes." Xu Zhengting smiled, "I entered some time ago, and I just put on a name." ”

"There's really you kid." Ling Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
