Xue Zheng also saw that his two sons, the eldest son was thick and the youngest son was smart, brothers, friends and brothers supported each other, and the prosperity of the Xue family was just around the corner.

He couldn't help but think of the letter from the Zhen family that had annoyed him recently.

Xue Zheng thought to himself: Since the next generation in the family is not useless, why is he so impatient now?

Anyway, the Xue family is fundamentally different from the other three of the four major families.

King Jia Shi now looks at the gradual decline, and his descendants don't know, so he naturally stares at the "Gong of the Dragon", so as to shine again.

And what about his Xue family? On the surface, the business of the imperial merchant family is thriving, and the work of the political secretary in the secret can be regarded as winning the emperor's heart.

In time, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will make the transition and become the crown prince, that is, other princes ascend the throne, as long as he has these resources in hand, and then he will take them out to surrender to the new emperor, in exchange for the opportunity for his children and grandchildren to advance.

You can attack, you can defend when you retreat, why worry that the Xue family will fall?

Besides, not to mention the sidelines, the prince is still upright! He doesn't have to mess around and expose his hole cards.

Thinking of this, Xue Zheng suddenly brightened, and suddenly people were not worried, and their mood was better, and they were also pleasing to the eye when they saw the two bad boys in the family.

However, the academics still need to be checked!

Probably Xue Zheng had a new direction in his heart, and saw that compared with the younger son, the eldest son's study was really bad and he couldn't bear to look at it directly, but he didn't get as angry as before, and even gave him very rare encouragement, and asked the brothers what they wanted with a pleasant face.

Xue Yan was the first to jump out: "Dad, I'm going out of the city for the Dragon Boat Festival!"

Xue Yan, who has the soul of an adult and a human being, naturally has no idea about dragon boat racing or anything. But after traveling for so long, he has never been out of the house once! It is also good to take advantage of this Dragon Boat Festival to go out of the house and enjoy the ancient scenery!

And Xue Pan, who had other ideas here, also thought it was good, and immediately echoed it.

Xue Zheng touched his beard, thinking that there were only a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, and when he saw the shining little eyes of his two sons, he waved his big hand, and the whole family set out for the Dragon Boat Festival to watch the dragon boat race outside the city.

Not to mention how excited the brothers were, and not to mention how the people who could accompany them secretly happy when they heard about it, it was the fifth day of the fifth month of May in a blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival.

On this morning, the Xue family and his entourage came to the edge of the big river outside Jinling City to hold a dragon boat race.

The dragon boat race is an annual event in Jinling, which is always held by the prefect. The □□ and the end point on both sides of the river are demarcated with a better line of sight for people with status in Jinling to watch.

Although the Xue family is an imperial businessman, they have the reputation of the four major families and the Ziwei Sheren, so they can get a good place.

After settling down, because there were some people with similar status around him, Xue Zheng went to socialize with Xue Wang's family.

It was mentioned that Xue Yan, the young master of the Xue family, who should have been the most excited when he went out this time, was very silent at the moment.

In fact, when Xue Yan woke up early in the morning, he began to have inexplicable heart palpitations.

He thought about it, but he didn't feel anything uncomfortable in his body, but he was just uneasy for no reason. Inevitably, the hard-won opportunity to go out failed, but he didn't tell anyone, and he didn't say anything wrong.

What I didn't expect was that when I left the house and the city gate, the strange feeling became more and more obvious.

Now, he's even having auditory hallucinations!

Xue Yan narrowed his eyes. The voice was faint and inaudible, but he just felt as if someone was calling him from afar, telling him to go somewhere.

It's weird.

However, it is not surprising that other people can cross over, and other strange things will happen.

...... And the more time passed, the more the strange feeling intensified. Xue Yan thought about it, and immediately decided to find out.

He closed his eyes and tried to find the faint "voice" in this crowded and loud place.

“......”

“...... z......”

“...... ......"

“...... He who...... ......"

Who is it? Who is this?

Although Xue Yan's expression was unusual, in this joyful atmosphere, few people noticed it.

Except for one person.

Yes, Xue Pan's keen intuition is rare to go online again.

Xue Pan saw his younger brother's face, and felt that something was not right, so he pulled the corner of the other party's clothes, leaned over and asked in a low voice:

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Yan glanced at Xue Pan, moved away, and after a while, he turned back and stared at the latter, making the latter more and more confused.

Under Xue Pan's repeated questioning, Xue Yan finally replied: "Brother, I think, I want to go to a place......

"Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, Xue Pan suddenly remembered his mother's words about being careful and safe with more abductors recently, and thinking of his younger brother's appearance like a small meat bun, he would definitely be coveted by abductors, and hurriedly said:

"But you can't go alone!"

Xue Yan's eyes rolled, and he whispered: "Then, brother, will you go with me?"

Xue Pan thought that he was an "adult", and he could beat ten of those abductors at once, and it would definitely be no problem to take his younger brother with him, so he readily responded.

So the brothers went to find Xue Zheng.

When Xue Zheng heard the words of the two sons, he said that these two hairy children couldn't sit still, and he didn't interfere, but only said that he must bring people with him.

Brother Xue Pan immediately agreed. Xue Yan thought about it, and asked Xue Pan to bring a few more.

In this way, the Xue family brothers, under the escort of more than 20 subordinates, broke through the crowd with difficulty and came to the periphery.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief. Xue Pan only remembered at this time that he didn't know where his brother was going!

So he turned his head to Xue Yan, who was being held by the steward Xue Gui, and asked, "Brother, where do you want to go?"

Xue Yan closed his eyes, felt it, and raised his hand to point in a direction, "Go over there!"

Seeing that the little young master of the Xue family seemed to be pointing in a random direction, the subordinates who were suddenly gathered were inexplicable! However, when the subordinates saw that the eldest young master didn't say much, they raised their feet and left, so they didn't dare to snort, and slowly walked in the direction pointed by Xue Yan.

After walking for a while, when the pampered Xue Pan was about to lose it, a group of people finally came to a small courtyard.

This small village is not very far from the river. The tiles, the gates, and the walls were all dilapidated and inconspicuous. It's just that the owner of this courtyard should be there today, and even feasting guests and so on - because Xue Pan and his party were standing outside the gate, and they could vaguely hear the voices coming from inside.

Looking at the door, Xue Yan perked up.

This is it! The "man" who summoned him is here!

After confirming the feeling, Xue Yan pointed to the courtyard door and said, "I want to go in!"

The steward Xue Gui was a little dumbfounded, so he had to persuade: "Young Master Xiang, this is someone else's place, we ......"

Xue Yan: "I want to go in!"

Xue Gui wanted to say something, but Xue Pan immediately interrupted the former's words: "You don't talk nonsense, who is the master now?

Because of Xue Pan's "prestige", Xue Gui had no choice but to respond.

instructed a subordinate to come forward and knock on the door, Xue Gui and the other servants present all thought in unison: I hope that these two little overlords in the family will not make anything happen outside!
