Luoyang Brocade Chapter 29: Persuasion (1)

Ling Wuye had a lot of social activities. He accepted invitations and went out every day, either to meet friends with wine or literature. He and a group of wealthy and leisure celebrities went to brothels, sailing boats or pear gardens. Every day It’s not unusual to come back at midnight, and stay up all night.

Although they are biological father and daughter, Ling Jingshu and Ling Wuye are not close. There are times when we don’t see each other for several days. Even if they met, they wouldn't be able to exchange a few words.

Because of Mrs. Ling's birthday party these days, Fifth Master Ling rarely stayed at the house honestly and peacefully for a few days. Every morning he led his wife and children to the Lama Temple, and at noon he drank and chatted with his brother and brother-in-law who rarely returned. Sometimes when the mood strikes, Lu An will be invited to the study to play chess.

Ling Wuye is good at playing chess, and Lu An is also a master at chess. The two of them are matched with each other in chess.

"I lost!" Ling Wuye hesitated for a long time while holding the black piece, and finally reluctantly admitted defeat: "My brother-in-law's chess skills are really superb, I am willing to lose."

Lu An smiled and casually messed up the chessboard: "The fifth uncle and brother made a concession, and I was lucky enough to win this game." Seeing that Ling Wuye was still unfinished, he said with a smile: "It's still early, why not How about we talk about it again?"

Ling Wuye nodded happily: "That's fine."

Just as he was about to rearrange the chessboard, a boy came in and reported: "Master, the lady is here and said she has something important to see the master."

Ling Wuye was a little surprised.

Ling Jingshu rarely came to him on weekdays. In his impression, this daughter had always been docile, quiet and obedient. Since I took the initiative to come today, I think something really important happened.

Girls raised in a boudoir usually do not see outsiders. However, Lu An is his biological uncle, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

Ling Wuye opened his mouth and said: "Let her come in!"

The boy responded and quickly left. After a while, Ling Jingshu opened the door and entered the study.

Ling Jingshu didn't expect Lu An to be there, she frowned slightly, then quickly returned to normal, walked forward with a calm expression, gathered her skirt and saluted: "I've met my father, I've met my uncle."

"We are all family members, so there is no need to be so polite." Lu An said with a pleasant smile.

Although Lu An is over thirty years old, he is handsome, suave and personable, exuding the grace and charm of a mature man in his every move. The handsome Ling Wuye, who was known as the number one celebrity in Dingzhou, actually looked a little inferior when he sat next to Lu An.

Ling Jingshu thanked her and stood up, her expression showing no difference.

Ling Wuye was in a good mood today and asked with a smile: "Ah Shu, you came to me specially and said you have something important. What is it?"

Ling Jingshu said nothing, with a pair of autumn-like eyes showing a little embarrassment and hesitation.

Facing such a pair of talking eyes, even if Lu An was a little unhappy, he immediately dissipated and stood up with a smile: "I suddenly remembered that there is something else, so let's take a step first."

......

After Lu An left, the smile on Fifth Master Ling’s face also disappeared, and he said slightly unhappily: “What is it that even your uncle can’t listen to?”

Ling Jingshu had long lost any hope or desire to be close to her biological father, who had a cold nature. She just felt ridiculous hearing such chilling words.

However, she has something more important to do here this time, and she must obtain Master Ling Wu’s approval and support, so as not to turn her back and ridicule her.

Ling Jingshu responded calmly: "Yes, what my daughter is about to say is very important and can only be known to her father. Even if my mother is here, I will not say it."

Ling Jingshu said so seriously that Ling Wuye became more cautious: "There are only two of us, father and daughter, in this study. No one will break in without my instructions. What do you have to say? , just say it."

Ling Jingshu took a step forward and suddenly knelt down: "My daughter has something very important to ask of me, and I hope my father will agree."

Ling Wuye was stunned and became more and more confused: "What on earth is going on? If you have something to say, stand up and say it. There is no need to kneel down."

No matter how indifferent she is on weekdays, she is still her only biological daughter. Seeing her kneeling on the cold ground like this, Master Ling felt a twinge of distress in his heart.

Ling Jingshu had no intention of kneeling for a long time, so she stood up and explained her purpose: "Father, I came to you today because of Ah Xiao's illness."

"When he was eight years old, he accidentally fell and hit his head and fell into a coma. When he woke up, he could no longer see. He was originally smart and clever, and was extremely talented in reading. After he became blind, everything was over. . He can no longer study and take the imperial examination, cannot take care of himself, and no longer wants to go out as a guest. He just stays in the inner house like this every day..."

There is no need to deliberately sensationalize, Ling Jingshu’s eyes became moist as she spoke.

After hearing these words, Ling Wuye felt uncomfortable in his heart. He sighed and said, "A Shu, you and A Xiao are twin siblings, and their relationship is much closer than others. You certainly feel sorry for him. I As a father, don’t you feel sorry for him? Over the years, so many famous doctors have been invited, but they have not been able to cure his eyes. This is his fate! We can only accept our fate."

"No, I don't accept this fate."

Ling Jingshu's eyes flashed with water, and her voice was full of determination: "In the past, we invited doctors from Dingzhou City. The medical skills may not be very good. Most of the real Xinglin experts are in the Taiyuan Hospital in the capital. I heard Yan My cousin told me that there is a Dr. Wei in the Imperial Hospital who has superb medical skills and is especially good at treating difficult and complicated diseases. Maybe he can cure A Xiao’s eyes. I want to take A Xiao to the capital."

Ling Wuye frowned and said in a deep voice: "No! Let's not say whether the Imperial Physician Wei is willing to diagnose and treat Ah Xiao, nor whether he can cure it. You are a boudoir girl who has never traveled far away. It’s a long way to the capital. I really can’t worry about you taking Ah Xiao to the capital.”

"Father is right to worry. It is really inconvenient for me to accompany A Xiao to the capital alone."

Ling Jingshu was well prepared and immediately took over the conversation: "Fortunately, the uncle's family is back. They will return to the capital soon. A Xiao and I will just follow them. When we get to the capital, we will borrow some money from the uncle's house. Stay for a while, and then wait for an opportunity to go to Huichun Hall and ask Dr. Wei to treat Ah Xiao."

"There are many famous doctors in the capital. If Mrs. Wei cannot be cured, I will look for other famous doctors. In short, as long as there is a glimmer of hope that A Xiao can be cured, I will not give up."

Ling Jingshu looked at Ling Wuye, her eyes full of pleading: "Father, I am not impulsive. I have thought about it carefully. The worst result of going to the capital is that Ah Xiao's eyes cannot be cured. It's the same as now. But if a famous doctor really can cure Ah Xiao's eyes, he can continue to study and take the imperial examination to gain fame, strive for a good future for himself, and shine for our Ling family."

"I beg your father to grant your daughter's request."

Ling Wuye's frown slowly relaxed: "It's rare that you are so considerate and considerate, and you think about Ah Xiao wholeheartedly. If I, a father, don't agree, it would be unkind."

Ling Jingshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with joy in her eyes: "Thank you, father."

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long term." Ling Wuye pondered for a moment and said: "We will have to stay in the capital for at least a few months. Living in your uncle's house is safe and convenient. However, it is inevitable that there will be A lot of trouble. I have to go and talk to them in person. Also, when traveling, you have to bring some money to protect yourself. And it will cost more to treat Ah Xiao’s illness. You need to ask your grandmother for this matter The consent is."

Ling Jingshu immediately responded: "My uncle, please go to my father's side personally. Let me go to my grandma's side!"

After a pause, he whispered again: "Father, my daughter has something else to ask you. Don't tell anyone that A Xiao and I are going to the capital for the time being. ~IndoMTL.com~ Even my mother and eldest brother , don’t talk about it yet.”

What does this mean?

Ling Wuye frowned reflexively: "Why do you want to hide this news?"

Ling Jingshu was silent for a moment and then said in a low voice: "Father, you feel sorry for Ah Xiao, and you are happy to see that his eyes can be cured. But there are many people in this house and many thoughts, so not everyone may think so. If the news spreads, I'm afraid something else will happen."

Ling Wuye's expression changed: "What do you mean by this? Are you doubting your mother and your brother?"

Faced with Ling Wuye's aggressive anger, Ling Jingshu looked calm: "Please calm down, father. I don't want to doubt anyone, I just don't want to cause trouble, and I don't want to take any risks."

Not waiting for Ling Wuye to speak, he said calmly: "If father doesn't believe me, you might as well wait and announce this before Ah Xiao and I leave to see how the people around us react. Everything will be clear."

Ling Wuye was choked and speechless.

Thinking of the considerate, gentle and attentive Mrs. Ling, Fifth Master Ling never believed that she would do anything detrimental to Ling Xiao. But Ling Jingshu said it with such certainty, it didn’t sound like she was joking...

Ling Wuye thought about it and finally made up his mind: "Forget it, I won't tell anyone about this before you leave. You should rest assured."

After Ling Jingshu convinced Fifth Master Ling, she breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corners of her lips: "Thank you, father."

After solving this matter, there is still a more troublesome one waiting for her.
