Chapter 105: The Medicine in Old Man Xiao's Gourd
Old Man Xiao patted the back of my hand and said to me lovingly.
"Xingchen, eat first, don't give birth, Xingchen! Grandpa is still grandpa, you don't have to be polite, you have to be the same as before! You're a little detached! ”
The old man is very shrewd and wise, how can he not see my attitude.
He spoke so bluntly about my changes that it made me uneasy, as if I was the one who had done something wrong.
"No, grandpa!" After I finished speaking, I picked up the common chopsticks and pinched a piece of sea cucumber for him, and after walking around closely in the past few years, I still know a little about my grandfather's dietary preferences.
"Let's not be constrained together! Come on, eat! He repeatedly comforted me, so I had to pick up my chopsticks and take a bite of the dish and put it in my mouth.
With a mouth full of bitterness, I picked out what my grandfather liked to eat from time to time and put it on the plate in front of him.
He was silent, as if he was thinking about something.
"O stars! Grandpa knows that you must have emotions and wronged you! He didn't look at me when he said that.
I knew he was going to cut to the chase.
I put down my chopsticks and listened quietly, his tone was serious.
"Grandpa asked you out, and he made an appointment outside, because he wanted to have something to do with you!"
"Yes, grandpa, you can say it!" I listened respectfully.
"I have something, I need Xingchen you to help me keep it, it's not a valuable thing, but it's very important, I don't feel at ease when I put it to other people, after thinking about it, I think that only you can complete this task, and only you and I are most assured!"
The old man explained very cautiously, and looked at me intently.
"Grandpa, I'...... If it's something very important, I'm afraid I'm not suitable, I'm afraid that I can't do it well and delay grandpa's big event! ”
"No, only you can do it, you're the only one who can do it."
"Thank you grandpa for trusting! But..... I'm afraid I'm not suitable! ”
I don't know what the old man's gourd contains? He said I was the most suitable, how could I be suitable?
"Xingchen, you are the only person I trust!"
I don't know whether to rejoice or be sad in this sentence, I am the only one I trust?
I laughed self-deprecatingly, I felt that no matter how I heard it, it was a little unpleasant, and the people of the Lin family could still have the most trusted by the Xiao family?
"Grandpa, tell me, what's the matter! As long as Xingchen can do it, Xingchen will definitely go all out! ”
But after saying this, my ears suddenly remembered my father's deathbed instructions, let me not ask the Xiao family and stay away from Xiao Tianyu, then it is equivalent to not letting me have any more dealings with the Xiao family, is it against my father's will by doing so.
"Listen to me first!" The old man looked at me slowly and reasonably.
"Yes, Grandpa!" I had no choice but to listen.
"You must take good care of this thing, you can't let anyone outside us know about this matter, if I am a hundred years later, or if the Xiao family changes, you will take out this thing in front of everyone and do what it says."
After Grandpa Xiao finished saying this, he looked at me very solemnly, "Do you remember Grandpa's words?" You must do what Grandpa says, definitely! ”
I looked at the old man with a sneer, how could I still talk about such a scary thing a hundred years later.
Besides, what does Grandpa Xiao have to do with me after a hundred years? Has the Xiao family changed? What has changed, if the Xiao family has changed, how can I Lin Xingchen be able to stop it!
"Grandpa, I'm afraid this matter is too serious, I can't do it, Xingchen doesn't have that ability!"
I said nervously, "This is related to the Xiao family's plan, Xingchen can't do it, you also know, Xingchen is light-hearted, how can he shoulder this heavy responsibility?" ”
"No, it's just that you're the one grandpa is the most reassuring! Grandpa handed over the Xiao family to you, don't shirk and don't ask why, in grandpa's heart, only you are the best candidate for me. ”
Grandpa looked at me and patted my thin arm, "But you also have to take care of yourself!" Maybe nothing will happen, it's just that you help Grandpa and put this thing away! ”
"Of course it's the worst-case scenario, or maybe it's all happy!"
"Grandpa!"
I was about to push back any longer, but my grandfather raised his hand to stop me and took out a rectangular box from the chair behind me, which looked delicate and sealed with wax, indicating that the contents were secret.
He solemnly placed it in front of me and patted it on the box, "Xingchen, help grandpa keep it!" Please! ”
I raised my eyes and looked at Old Man Xiao blankly, I didn't know how to deal with it, and I didn't know what was put here? But I could feel that it was a heavy commission, so heavy that I couldn't breathe.
This is the Xiao family's thing, and it is very important, I am a girl of the Lin family, he actually put such an important thing here with me, I don't know what it is.
I don't even know if it's good or bad, it's really a hot potato.
No, no, no!
"I ......" I wanted to speak and stopped, I didn't want to let the old man spoil the fun, but I didn't dare to despise it.
"Xingchen, please!" The old man was magnetic and his tone was majestic.
"Grandpa, don't scare me, how can I ...... De"
"You can, only you are the candidate for my real granddaughter-in-law, no matter how it changes, I only recognize you!"
The old man clapped my hand, "I hope everything won't go too far!" People make mistakes, but fate is irreversible, no matter how far the mistake is, it will still return to the original point and correct the mistake! ”
I was a little dumbfounded, looking at the old man with a blank sneer, and I didn't understand my grandfather's extraneous voice.
"Everything will change, but eventually there will be a certainty! Stars, please! After the old man finished speaking, he persuaded me to eat, "Xingchen, eat!" ”
For the rest of the year, I was in a state of chaos, and I had no taste for food.
I don't know how I got out of the restaurant, but the old man put my things in my bag and watched me walk out of the clubhouse and get into my car. I can feel the weight of what I'm carrying.
I sat on the steering wheel in the car for a long time, with no strength at all, and the whole person seemed to float in the clouds.
Before I could start the car and leave, I saw Xiao Tianyu's car drive in, and Xiang Lingxue got down with him.
This is the first time I have seen Xiang Lingxue after that fake fall, glamorous and proud.
My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly until I felt some pain in the joints.
Xiang Lingxue and Xiao Tianyu said something, they all looked at me together, obviously Xiao Tianyu's eyes were a little surprised, maybe he didn't expect to see me here, right?
My mind was spinning, how could they come here, could it be that they also came to see grandpa?
So what is this old man singing?
Why did they both make an appointment to meet Xiao Tianyu and Xiang Lingxue after meeting me, could it be that they set up a bureau to stabilize me, but they didn't expect me to break it?
Ha!
It's really a scheming, and the black belly seems to be genetic.
I saw that Xiao Tianyu seemed to let go of Xiang Lingxue and walked in my direction.
I slammed the car off the accelerator and drove off as a sports car.
Along the way, I ran wildly in the direction of the city, found a quiet street where no one stopped the car, I was thinking about everything that had just happened, I went through the process, and every word that Old Man Xiao said.
Although I can't analyze the authenticity, I know that the things on my body can never always be put on my body like this, no matter what it is, whether the strategy is sincere or not, I disdain to take the things of the Xiao family, but there can be no mistakes.
You can't be disrespectful to the old man, no matter what, you have received the grace of others.
I sat for a long time, and when I had an idea, I restarted the car, went to the bank, paid the money, deposited my things, and carefully put away the keys.
I feel much more relaxed, no matter what their intentions are, I disdain to be disturbed by them, and I don't care to do anything to their granddaughter-in-law, I Lin Xingchen is not rare.
But I also wondered, what the old man said was custody, just like I just did, send it to the bank for safekeeping, how good it is, why do you have to let me keep it, it's really mysterious, so I can't figure it out.
Forget it, let him go! Just spend some money!
But even I spent Qiao Xin's money.
Back to the Imperial Garden, I went straight back to the room, I took out the key in my hand, and the certificate, this thing can't be put on my body, in case I lose it, I really can't tell it.
But where can I put it? I think a lot of things are wrong, this thing is like a hot potato, you can't lose it.
Suddenly I thought of carved boxes.
I hurriedly opened the luggage, took out the box, looked around it over and over again, and then remembered that there was a carving on the side, which was a small lotus leaf, which could be opened, and this was found by Xiao Tianyu when I bought it at that time.
I picked open the lotus leaf and tried to put the key in, and with a 'dang' sound, the key fell in, and I turned it over and poured it out, and the key would be poured out.
Well! This is good, but when I put it back in it, I shook it a bit, and it would make a 'bang'! It doesn't work, what if someone sees the box and takes out the key?
I took it out again, clamped it with a fabric hairpin, and tied a bow with a small rope and put it in, this time there was no sound, and the code was written separately on the small rope. That's all it takes.
I put it away, and I breathed a sigh of relief, and now I can sit back and relax.
I was a little tired, and I fell asleep while lying on the quilt.
This night's sleep was very unsound, I was riddled with nightmares, and I always felt a pair of eyes looking at me from different angles, which made me feel extremely cold.
Startled, when I opened my eyes, I saw Xiao Tianyu lying beside me intently, staring at me, and scolding in my heart, no wonder I had nightmares.
My heart was still pounding, and I turned my head to look at the window, and it was already dark.
I don't know how long I slept.
