Xu You was stunned for a long time, and only then reluctantly appeared in his mind the shadow of that cousin, from childhood to adulthood, all memories related to this cousin have always been hellish torture, those endless teasing, pranks regardless of time, place and occasion, all kinds of undisciplined and bottomless humiliation and abuse and all-round three-dimensional spiritual pollution, it is no exaggeration to say that if Xu You can only forget one person in his life, he will definitely choose this cousin without hesitation!

Her name is Xu Shunhua, the daughter of Xu You's second uncle Xu Hao, who married An Xiulin, the sixth son of Emperor Chu, as a concubine three years ago!

During the time when she was in the boudoir, she also had a special nickname, called "the first lady in Jiangzuo"!

"Shichiro, Shichiro?"

He Wei shouted three or two times in succession, and Xu Youcai was stunned: "Ah? What the? ”

He Wei's heart was afraid that it was six or seven longer than ordinary people, and he immediately caught something from Xu You's expression, his face froze, and he said, "Could it be that you don't have a good relationship with Princess Yidu?" “

Xu You only smiled bitterly, he fused all the memories and emotions from before, and naturally inherited the fear and respect for Xu Shunhua, but this fear could not have any impact on him now, at best, it was just a little confused in time and space when he recalled it.

"That's not it, my cousin spends more time with me than the other siblings combined, and if you want to talk about the relationship, this ...... It's complicated, and it's not clear for a while. ”

This is the truth, Xu Shunhua has no interest in other peers in the family, but once he meets Xu You, his eyes never leave his surroundings, and he will never give up until he vents all his energy and looks like he is all kinds of ugly.

In a sense, the relationship between Xu Shunhua and Xu You should be the closest among the entire Xu family!

"That's it!" He Wei said in a low voice: "There is only one man left in the Xu family, and there are still three or five surviving women, but the others are either expelled from the house by their husbands, living in the rivers and lakes, and their whereabouts are unknown, or they were slaved after the divorce and became a lowly servant, only Princess Yidu is still in her position, this is a very important line, and it should be of great use in the future." ”

Hearing about the misfortune of those family women, Xu You's heart was like an iron stone, and there was no trace of waves. In the dynasties where Zhulian was in vogue, the losers of the power struggle were bound to pay a very painful price. This is the rule of the game, he has no power to change anything, and he has no power to stop anything, the only thing he can do is to try to live, and then return these miserable pains, little by little, one by one, and many times.

Xu You looked at He Wei and asked rhetorically: "King Yidu has always been unfavored, he lives in Yidu, and there are only 3,000 households in Yidu, which is the least among all the princes, and except for the title of a county king, there are no other civil and military official titles, and the outside laughs that the power of King Yidu is not even comparable to the six-year-old Shanyang King An Xiuyuan, even if I have a cousin relationship with him, but what can I do?" ”

A strange smile appeared on He Wei's dark face, and he said, "Qilang is right, King Yidu is indeed the weakest and the least favored. However, during this period of time, Qilang's news was a bit closed, and he must not know that because of the Yixing turmoil, Princess Xu wrote to An Zidao to avenge the Xu family, and scolded the prince and Shen Muzhi, and the words were very vicious, causing the prince to be furious, and fell Yujue in front of the emperor and ministers in the Chiwu Hall of Zhaoming Palace. An Zidao issued an edict from this, and personally sent the left guard army to confine the king of Yidu in the palace of the fiefdom, and the daily supplies were purchased and sent in from the outside, and no one or bird was allowed to leave the palace, and reprimanded Princess Xu, and received all the previous rewards, so that she thought about it behind closed doors. In other words, the current King of Yidu is actually not as free as Qilang. ”

After Xu You bleed the night, he first went to a coma to heal his injuries, and as soon as he woke up, he immediately went to Jinling and Qiantang, and he didn't know anything about what happened outside.

What kind of courage and fierceness is this, the family is unjustly exterminated, there are no women and children, the world is silent, silent like a cicada, only she is a woman who marries someone else's wife, dares to write a book to scold the prince, generous and sad songs, and does not hesitate to die, women are like this, how many eyebrows are embarrassed?

Xu You was not surprised by this, Xu Shunhua's character was accustomed to anything, and said: "According to what you said, King Yidu is already miserable, what is the use value, is it worth your attention to him?" ”

"Anyone has his value, it's just up to you to find out how to use him!" He Wei said: "I have carefully investigated the king of Yidu, although this person is faint, his posture is not good, and his literary and martial arts are undesirable, and his character is also very cowardly, so he is not liked by An Zidao, but he is kind-hearted, the emperor is gracious, treats friends with truth, and is very tolerant of the slaves and maids in the house, the guards of the guards, and the people of the fiefdom, and has a very good reputation in Yidu, and he has gathered a group of people with lofty ideals to follow. Such a person, if the situation is calm, is like a fish and shrimp in stagnant water, unable to jump into a big wave. But once the situation changes, just like this time, An Zidao seems to punish him, but in fact, it also has the meaning of protection, otherwise it will not be just confinement and reprimand. As long as he grasps this point of An Zidao and makes a little allocation in the future, King Yidu may not be able to regain his favor and take advantage of the situation. After all, there is a relationship between my sister and brother-in-law, and I am always much closer than outsiders, and when it comes to a critical moment, I can become a big help for Shichiro. Of course, this is a later story, how to be, I have my own plans, it's too early to say, and when the time is ripe, I'll tell Shichiro. ”

Thinking about Zhuge Liang's tips, do smart people have this habit of playing tricks, Xu You did not continue to ask, but sat upright, and the calm atmosphere that had been in the top position for a long time came to his face, and asked: "He Langjun, are you sure that you have made a decision?" “

He Wei said quietly: "Could it be that Qilang thinks I'm still hesitating?" You know, in the past few years since I returned to Jiangdong, it is the first time that I have known everything about a person, and there is no deception! ”

Xu You was silent again and said, "Do you have anything to ask me?" “

He Wei's eyes were as bright as electricity, piercing people's hearts, and said, "Dare to ask Qilang's ambition?" ”

Xu You was in a trance, and seemed to have returned to the Fengxu Pavilion outside Jinling City, and through the thick green silk cloth curtain, he heard Yuan Qingqi's witty words.

"He Langjun's questions are too extensive, I don't know how to answer!"

He Wei smiled and said, "Maybe I'll ask another question, what is Qilang's intention after settling in Qiantang?" ”

"Make money, be a rich man, I'm used to being blessed, and I can't stand suffering."

"What happens when you have money?"

"Let's see if I can write some poems, do some articles, and mix up some fame in the land of Sanwu, where the literary style is the most prosperous."

"So, after you have a reputation?"

Xu You's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "A big husband can't be without power for a day, with fame and fortune, he naturally has to do his best to control enough power!" ”

He Wei's eyes were already excited, and he leaned forward slightly, saying, "What kind of power is enough?" ”

Xu You's expression was calm as if he was talking about a trivial matter, and said: "It's enough for me to kill the prince, destroy the Shen family, and avenge the Xu family!" ”

He smiled slightly and said, "But these words come out of my mouth, into your ears, and out of this door, I won't recognize it." ”

"Hahaha!"

He Wei looked up to the sky and laughed, pushed the case up, knelt down with a plop, and said: "Since I heard the ambition of Qilang, I am willing to follow the left and right, and follow the work of dogs and horses!" ”

Xu Youan sat for a long time, sighed, and said: "If you really have nowhere to go, and you don't dislike that Qiantang is a small place, it doesn't hurt for us to be friends, and when you buy a house, you can live as long as you want." As for the rest, I can't promise anything now, I can only take one step at a time, and maybe in a few months, you will find that I am just a mediocre person, and I will walk away. ”

He Wei didn't care, and said lightly: "The days are long, and the hearts of the people see themselves, I will not let Qilang down!" ”

The two talked secretly for half an hour, and the content of the conversation was top secret for a long time, except for Zuo Yan, who was fortunate enough to participate in the entourage, and was no longer known to the world.

Unconsciously, an hour passed, the door opened, Xu You walked out, stood under the eaves, looked at the ancient acacia in the courtyard with his hands, and said, "In your opinion, what is the most important thing at the moment?" ”

The afternoon sun passed through the corner of the eaves, just shining ten thousand golden rays on Xu You's body, He Wei stood a few steps behind him, but he was completely shrouded in shadows, and said: "It's still the same thing I said when I entered the door to visit Qilang, if you want to gain a foothold in Qiantang, the first thing you need to do is to help the Zhan family get through the current crisis!" ”

Xu You muttered, "Qiantang Zhan? Zhan Ting? ”

"No, the person we want to help is Zhan Wenjun!"
