Xue Bailing's breakfast consisted of two slices of bread and a glass of milk, followed by four hours of work.
At her level, work does not necessarily have to go to a company or an office. She can do it at home. Where she works depends on her mood that day. She doesn't want to go out today, so she has moved all her work to home.
study room,
After the morning's work was over, Xue Bailing did not rush to the restaurant to have dinner with Xue Gui and others. Instead, after rubbing her slightly sore eyes, she went straight to the small attic on the innermost floor of the Xue family's house.
It was a forbidden area where Mr. Xue lived. Except for a few backbones of the Xue family, no one else was allowed to approach. In the attic, there was only a middle-aged woman in her forties who took care of the old man's daily life.
It's not so stunning and gorgeous, but after a little thought, you can easily appreciate the background and keep a certain distance from the luxurious Xue family house. No outsiders are allowed to disturb the purity.
Xue Bailing was wearing simple and graceful casual clothes and walked slowly towards the attic. But when she stood at the door, she hesitated again, as if she was considering whether to go in or go back instead.
After thinking for less than a minute, when Xue Bailing felt that such hesitation was a waste of time, she finally opened the small door.
creak,
The fine wooden door made a slight sound. Xue Bailing walked in slowly and met a middle-aged woman who was cleaning the house. Xue Bailing asked softly: "Auntie, where is grandpa."
"The old man is practicing calligraphy." The middle-aged woman said elegantly. She did not look like a woman who had been working as a servant for many years, but more like a graceful woman who had experienced the tempering of life, which made people feel close to her.
"Yeah." Xue Bailing nodded and walked slowly towards the study.
"The old man knew that the lady would come, so he asked me to prepare lunch. Should we eat after talking or eat and talk while eating." The middle-aged woman said from behind,
"Let's talk while eating." Xue Bailing said with a smile, adhering to the principle of not wasting time as much as possible.
"Okay." The middle-aged woman walked towards the kitchen.
If this attic is a forbidden area of the Xue family, then the old man’s study is the most forbidden area among forbidden areas. No one is allowed to enter unless he has permission from the old man. This is a death order, and no one can disobey it, even if he has taken control of the power of the Xue family.
Xue Bailing has never crossed the thunder pond.
As soon as Xue Bailing arrived at the door, the old man's slightly old voice came from inside,
"Come in."
Xue Bailing opened the door and walked in.
"Grandpa." Xue Bailing said calmly,
"I guessed that you would come to me." The old man held the pen and drew it. After completing the copy, he sat down with a little difficulty. A kind smile bloomed on his wrinkled cheeks, "For Lin Ze."
"Half." Xue Bailing said,
"The other half is not directly related to him, but it is still because of him." The old man said with a smile.
This time Xue Bailing didn't say anything, just sat on the chair,
Xue Bailing's brain is very useful. Others know this, and she knows it herself, but in front of the old man, she does not dare to try to do the same thing, and compete with others.
She was taught by the old man. She can be better than others, but she can't be put on her. She knows that no matter how others praise her, she is not as good as the old man.
"When you had a drinking contest with Han Zhenbei, he actually asked you to do so on purpose." The old man didn't talk nonsense and directly pointed out the center.
"Let me." Xue Bailing was surprised when she heard this, "You mean..."
"That's right." The old man said with a smile, "No matter how I delegate power to you, even if your performance in the short term is eye-catching and amazing, if you want people to truly admire you, you can only create a god. On the road to becoming a god, You must kill the gods first, otherwise you won’t even become a god.”
"That's why he came to me for a drink and then lost to me." Xue Bailing frowned slightly.
"Han Zhenbei is a man of great wisdom. I haven't had much dealings with him, but I know that if his health were not good, maybe in ten years, Yanjing would no longer be a tripartite." The old man sighed. He said with emotion, "I have roughly calculated that I can probably live for one or two years, but Han Zhenbei, alas, it is such a pity that I have lost such a talented person. Is this because God is jealous of talented people?"
"Grandpa, you are in good health and can live for many years." Xue Bailing said,
"Ha, I'm tired of living. Now that you have matured, I have nothing to worry about." The old man shook his head and said, "Whether that boy Xue Gui can carry the Xue family depends on his personal nature. He has the ability. , it’s just that he doesn’t have the heart, and he will make you suffer a little in the days to come.”
"It's okay." Xue Bailing shook her head,
"Lin Ze is not a bad boy. Through his performance in Yanjing, I dare not say that he is the second Han Zhenbei, but he may reach the top on another road. Without the favors that Han Zhenbei sold back then, I might not Sit next to me in public, but you might also chat with him in private." The old man said with a smile, "You think he's not bad, right?"
"Little brat." Xue Bailing said lightly,
"This kid has such brains and skills, he will be able to do it in two years." The old man didn't mind Xue Bailing's attitude at all.
"I'm already old." Xue Bailing said,
"Nonsense." The old man feigned anger. "You call yourself old in front of an old immortal like me, and you're asking for a beating."
"Grandpa is reluctant to bear it." Xue Bailing suddenly laughed,
"Well, I said before, I won't care about your affairs, and I don't have the ability to care about it. You can handle it however you want. I believe you can handle it." The old man sighed, "In that case, what else do you have to say? Do you want to say it?"
"I want to ask Grandpa a question." Xue Bailing said hesitantly,
"What."
"Am I suitable for a sister-brother relationship?"
"Hahaha,."
"It's funny." Xue Bailing frowned slightly. She became angry, but she didn't even have to give her grandpa face.
"It's not funny." The old man hurriedly stopped his hearty laughter and said with a satisfied look on his face, "I'm just happy that my little Bai Ling has grown up and knows that men and women are different."
"I always knew." Xue Bailing said lightly,
"No, you only found out today." The old man said with regret, "But since you asked me, let me tell you something: Children's love always thinks that it is earth-shattering and earth-shattering, but in fact it is not. , their so-called love is childish, the product of impulsiveness and blindness, and the love of young people always thinks it can be romantic, but in fact it is ordinary, not too stormy, not many waves, your kind People originally thought that love could be gentle, peaceful, and long-lasting, but it is not true, and it is difficult to be true. Even if his status is getting heavier and heavier in your heart, if you have not experienced a life-and-death shock, I believe you, grandpa, you I will never accept him."
"Why." Xue Bailing frowned,
"The pride of the Xue family, your pride." The old man said forcefully, "There is a saying in China that it takes three generations to give birth to a noble. In fact, it is not true. There is no noble blood in the bones. No matter how many generations are born, he will only be a nouveau riche after all. , can’t become a noble.”
"I am." Xue Bailing was puzzled,
"Barely, but not yet." The old man said with a smile on his face, "Your good nephew is the real nobleman. Let me ask you, is there any rich kid in Yanjing who can do the favor and humiliation of Xiaogui? Who can? Like him, he really regards money as dirt and is not proud of being a child of a wealthy family. Maybe some people can do it on the surface, but not deep down. Xue Gui can do it from the inside out, so he is a noble."
