It was already dark, and Xiao Jing returned home.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was dragged into the room by Shao Ning who heard the noise. The boy handed him a letter without saying a word, and said with a serious face: "Tomorrow morning... No, at noon tomorrow, put this
Give the letter to my father. Remember, you must hand it to him personally!"
After saying that, he took out a small package from the bedside and threw it to Xiao Jing: "There are twenty taels of silver in it. If my father wants to kick you out, you can find a place to live by yourself. I will give you some money on the way.
With some money, I can only give you so much."
Xiao Jing glanced sideways and saw two large bags on the table. Is this kid really planning to elope with Su Yuxian?
"You want to take her around the world, but does this girl agree?" Xiao Jing picked up one of the bags and tried the weight: "With Su Yuxian's temperament, I'm afraid she will try hard to persuade you to stay, right? She is not indifferent.
Man, if you leave dad to take her to elope, she will have a troubled conscience for the rest of her life."
"Then I don't care, she has to go whether she wants to go or not! If she doesn't want to, I'll drag her away!" Shaoning roared: "We can't get the money for dad, why are we still here? Wait.
Are you going to be torn apart by him?"
Shaoning spoke in a very aggressive tone, but listening carefully, he didn't mean to blame Xiao Jing. Maybe when Xiao Jing proposed the plan to start a newspaper, he just wanted to try it out; although in the middle
He had high expectations, but after realizing the cruel reality, he returned to the original point of his thoughts.
"You are usually very carefree, but once something happens, you will become impatient." Xiao Jing patted his shoulder hard: "Listen to my advice, don't go anywhere tonight, and sleep at home.
If you still want to leave at noon tomorrow, then you can go anywhere and I will never talk nonsense."
"You're going to stay if you say you're going to stay?" Shaoning said anxiously: "What my father said doesn't count for me, let alone you! I'm also telling you that I'm going to leave tonight..."
Xiao Jing walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. Dong Xiaoya cast a concerned look, and he smiled and shook his head in response.
A night of silence.
The next day was a rare day of good weather. Recently, oily spring rains have been falling from time to time, making people feel a little depressed. But today is different. Not only is the sky clear and blue, but the wind is also exceptionally clear.
It's a gentle day, and it's really a good day for an outing.
It was such a nice weather, but Xiao Jing stayed in his room; it was three o'clock in the morning, and he was not seen going out for any activities. If he lay in front of the window, he could still hear the snoring coming from his room.
In sharp contrast, Shaoning was called away by the Shao family early in the morning and has not returned yet.
Dong Huaiyuan, who was playing in the yard, walked up to his sister and asked in a low voice: "What did brother Shaoning do?"
He also heard the argument yesterday. Living in the same courtyard every day, Xiaoyuan also had some feelings for Shaoning, so naturally he didn't want him to disappear suddenly.
Dong Xiaoya said softly: "Brother Shaoning was sent away by his father, and he will be back soon. Then let him play with you, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps outside from far to near. Hearing that the sound was coming towards his house, Dong Xiaoya quickly got up and opened the door.
The man moved very quickly. Before Xiaoya could reach the door, he hurriedly patted the door. After patting for a while, the door suddenly became quiet again, and there was no sound at all.
When Dong Xiaoya rushed to the door, before she could open the door, a familiar figure jumped out of the wall like an ape flying over the wall, startling both her and Xiaoyuan.
If Xiao Jing saw it with his own eyes, he would definitely shout: "This is unscientific!"
Although the courtyard wall of the Xiao family is not high, it is definitely not short either. An adult man with excellent jumping ability may be able to climb in after trying a few times. He can easily ignore the condition of the courtyard wall.
, it is indeed not in line with ordinary people’s understanding of physics.
The Dong siblings were still surprised when the man rushed towards the east wing like a rabbit. He pushed it, but the door didn't open. This time he was more decisive and simply took two steps back and hit it with all his strength.
boom!
The door to the east wing fell down with a sound. The man adjusted his pace and prepared to crash into Xiao Jing's door again.
At this moment, the door was opened, and Xiao Jing, who was wrapped in a quilt and looked sleepy, rushed out with teeth and claws: "There's an earthquake, everyone, run away!"
The man standing in front of the door had a look of joy on his face, and he couldn't help but hugged Xiao Jing with his iron-like arms.
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, and his hazy sleepy eyes finally came into focus. After a few seconds, he pushed the person away with force, and then he could see his face clearly.
"Shaoning? Get out of here! I'm not interested in men!"
A roar that reached the sky was followed by a scream. It was obvious that these two voices were not made by the same person...
After about a cup of tea, everything finally returned to calm.
Xiao Jing and Shao Ning sat opposite each other under the trellis, and Dong Xiaoya, who was smiling, was holding Dong Huaiyuan, who was "unconsciously serious".
In the middle of the night, what did Miss Xiaoya, who was mending clothes in her room, witness?
She saw Xiao Jing come out of the room countless times, walk around outside Shaoning's room, and then tiptoe back...
Shao Ning, who was smiling brightly, kept talking like a machine gun. Xiao Jing finally found a chance to interject: "Your father said, when will Su Yuxian be allowed in?"
"When the first wife enters the house, the rules are very strict, don't you know?" Shaoning said with a silly smile: "Hey, don't talk about you, I can't wait. When the time comes, my brother will treat you and Feiyu to a wedding banquet!"
Xiao Jing shook his head helplessly. Was this person overly excited and went crazy? His speech was incoherent! It's not like I'm entering the bridal chamber, I can't wait for someone else, so you must be the most anxious person, okay?
While he was sighing, Shaoning changed his face into a serious one: "But you are really brave. You actually used my father's money to pay me the three thousand taels! The wool comes from the sheep, and the money comes from the sheep.
They all come from our Shao family! They belong to his grandma, and you still take this yard as your own! Tsk, I just can’t figure it out, why did my father just agree to you? No, you have to tell me about the rest.
What are you going to do with those two thousand taels?"
Xiao Jing rolled his eyes at Shaoning and said, "I earned this based on my own ability, and I didn't get it from your father through deception. Do you have any dissatisfaction?"
His eyes full of longing drifted into the distance, and continued: "It is said to be two thousand taels of silver, but it is actually not much. Two hundred taels of it are to be returned to you. After all, you have advanced a lot of money during this period.
.Don’t be too much if it’s too much, don’t be too little if it’s too little. Then, I’ll give you another two hundred taels, just think of it as my wedding money, and help Miss Su buy more dowry. Well, I’ll keep another hundred taels for myself.
Two, let Xiaoya take care of the accounts. There will always be some expenses for the family and the editorial department. As for the remaining money, it will naturally be of great use. "
