said that the two Xue brothers, after coming out of the study, paced towards the backyard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xue Yunyan's residence in Pingcheng is located under the small dun ridge outside the south gate, the place is not as big as Shangjing, there are only three entrances before and after, the only advantage is that it is very quiet, and it can isolate the sight of many curious prying eyes.

The two brothers walked one after the other, without speaking, and passed through a boxy courtyard gate and came to the backyard.

This yard is very empty, only a few trees are planted, at this time it is full of dead branches, some snow falls on the branches, there are no pavilions and rockeries and other elegant things in the courtyard, the southwest corner is dug a lotus pond, but now there is only silt in the pond.

Looking at the word "Peiyu" above the garden gate, Xue Yunheng's long eyebrows raised.

Needless to say, Xue Yunyan strictly followed the rules of the Xue clan in Xiaqiu and named this house in Pingcheng Peiyuyuan.

The two of them walked slowly along the verandah in the courtyard, outside the corridor, the snow was still falling sparsely, the sky was also dim with a little lead ash, and the stratus clouds were pressing on the edge of the sky, and there was a kind of depression when you looked at it.

Xue Yunyan raised his head to look at the sky, and said in a rambling voice: "I'm afraid this snow won't stop." ”

Xue Yunheng had already lost his talent at this time, and stood under the corridor with his hands in his hands, and his voice was cold: "After this snow, I don't know how many people in Jiangyang County will not be able to eat." ”

The drought in Dachen is serious, and the grain harvest is not in good shape, and now most of the grain from the north has to be transported from the south. However, according to the information he received a few days ago, the north has been hit by a rare heavy snowfall this year, and the main roads in the north and south have been blocked by heavy snowfall. Xue Yunheng left early, if he was ten and a half days and a half late, he might be stuck in traffic.

Listening to Xue Yunheng's words, Xue Yunyan turned his eyes and glanced at him lightly, and there was no expression in his amber eyes: "I'm still here, second brother, don't you think that your eldest brother really only hatches eggs?"

The half-joking tone, but the words that came out made Xue Yunheng's eyes light up.

Ignoring the ridicule in the other party's words, he looked at Xue Yunyan and asked, "Eldest brother is saying that you have already made proper arrangements?"

Xue Yunyan didn't answer his words, only nodded indifferently, then turned around and walked forward, his moon-gray clothes fluttering in the breeze.

Looking at his background, Xue Yunheng suddenly had a smile on his face.

"In the end, it is an iron-faced gentleman, and he really acts like an iron plate, and he does not leak. He said with a smile, paused for a moment, and said with emotion: "Although it is not close to people, but as far as Li Shu is concerned, Si Chen's chicken is a good chicken, regardless of whether it is iron or mud." ”

Whether it is said that Xue Yunyan is for his own performance evaluation, or whether he sells his reputation and reputation, in the end, he has also done practical things for the people, if there are more such officials, Da Chen will not be the current situation.

It should be said that these words are Xue Yunheng's extremely positive evaluation of Xue Yunyan, but when they come out of his mouth, it sounds like scolding.

Fortunately, Xue Yunyan rarely bothered with his second brother in this kind of matter, and only smiled lightly when he heard the words.

Of course, if he really wants to care, Xue Yunheng will always be the one who loses, there is no doubt about this. But at this time, they obviously have more important things to discuss.

"How is your father?" After walking for a while, Xue Yunyan asked out loud.

Xue Yunheng raised his hand to help the jade crown on his hair, his wide white sleeves hung down, his expression was very casual, and he said, "Father is naturally good, and he has been raising him in bed for several days." When I left, he was still asleep every day and rarely woke up. ”

"That's fine. Xue Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing that his father was sick, he seemed to feel very happy, and there was a rare relaxation in his tone, and he paused for a while and said: "If my father can be sick for a year and a half, my Xue family will be fine." When he said this, there was peace in his amber eyes, and there was no difference.

Xue Yunheng was noncommittal when he heard this, and the expression on his face was a little unpredictable.

The two brothers discussed their seriously ill father without any scruples, without any worries, and they didn't know how Xue Jungong, who was far away in Dadu, would react when he heard it?

"I heard that His Majesty often convenes the Three Dukes for secret discussions, for the sake of the Huan family. Xue Yunyan changed the topic, and the declarative tone showed his determination of this matter.

Xue Yunheng's expression was slightly solemn, and he said with a "hmm": "There should be no mistake." Otherwise, my father would not have been 'injured' and seriously ill, and lay down on the couch for all these days. Speaking of this, he suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "I don't understand until now why my father rejected the proposal between the Feng family and the Shi family with great fanfare, it turned out that it was to avoid the position of the third prince......

His tone couldn't hear likes and dislikes, only his expression was depressed, and there was no freedom at all.

Xue Yunyan's footsteps stopped, and at that moment, the sleeves of his gray robe slowly fluttered in the breeze, and he was quiet for a moment, and his indifferent voice sounded: "Father's foresight is beyond my reach." ”

Xue Yunheng was quiet, brushed his sleeves lightly, and said, "Forgive me for not agreeing." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them stopped in unison.

At this time, they were walking to the corner of the verandah, and beyond that was the lotus pond. Xue Yunheng looked around, simply took off his robe and sat down, pointed to the opposite position, and said lazily: "Sit down and talk about it." ”

Xue Yunyan didn't speak, but sat down as he said.

The weather in the south is warmer than in the north, and both of them are used to winter in the north, and they don't feel cold at this time, and they sit there with their backs straight, without a trace of cold.

The fine snow dances, and sometimes the breeze blows into the corridor, accumulating light white frost.

"The clan is the most important, the community is secondary, and the king is light. I thought, that's not right. Xue Yunheng opened his mouth abruptly, with a solemn and slight disagreement on his face, "As a member of the crown family, a supreme minister, enjoying the support of the people and the favor of the monarch, he should be dedicated to the public, the country, and the people, how can he be above everyone with a surname?"

There was a stirring in his tone that even he didn't notice, and he couldn't stop speaking in a slightly loud voice.

It seems that he has his own ideas about Xue Jun's public trust ignoring political affairs and avoiding the Huan family's revenge.

When Xue Yunyan heard this, he glanced sideways at him.

That glance is extremely far away, like a vast desert separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

"My point of view is the opposite of yours. He said lightly, raised his hand to smooth a crease at the hem of his clothes, and said in a calm voice: "The clan is a relative, the society is far away, and the monarch is ...... Far away in the sky, do my business? When you can enter, you will advance, if you don't enter, you will guard, and if you can't keep it, you will retreat. As long as there is a basis for advancing and retreating, you can be a wise man. There is a popular saying among the people, I would like to tell the second brother to hear, that sentence says, 'How big a person's head is, how big a hat is', I think so. Second brother, think about it, if a person can't even protect his clan relatives, what can he do to talk about protecting the people of the country and revitalizing the world?"
