Returning to the Pingnan Hou Mansion from the Imperial City, Xue Chen saw Zheng Yi and Zheng Ren standing in the school yard waiting for him.

At this glance, it can be seen that it was arranged by Xue Dingshan's awkward old man, if it was a few days ago, Xue Chen would have ignored this childish trick, but now it is different from the past.

Xue Chen looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Is there something wrong?" ”

His voice is extremely gentle, coupled with Xue Chen's usual personality, Xue Chen at this moment is like an exhausted wolf in the eyes of Zheng Yi and Zheng Ren, there is no guarantee that the current Xue Chen is not dangerous, but he really looks a little pitiful.

This 'illusion' made Zheng Yi and Zheng Ren not even know how to speak for a while.

It took a while for the two of them to come to their senses, and Zheng Yiyi, "Little Marquis, why did you come back?" ”

Zheng Ren said, "Master Hou is waiting for you to eat." ”

Xue Chen looked at the two of them unnaturally interacting with each other, and frowned, "He's in a good mood today?" Not angry? Why are you in the mood to wait for me to eat? ”

Zheng Yi glanced at Zheng Ren when he heard this, and found that Zheng Ren didn't know how to answer, so he couldn't say that it was a fact like 'the old marquis just taught your sweetheart a lesson, and he was ashamed' that no one admits it and causes people to be furious, right?

"Well...... Probably because you have been here for too long, the Hou Ye misses you, right? Zheng Yi casually found a reason with high probability.

Hearing this, Xue Chen chuckled lightly and glanced at Zheng Yi with disdain.

"At this time, you don't need to think of a reason for him, he just wants to know, as soon as I came back, I was called by the emperor, what did the emperor say."

Zheng Yi, "......"

Well, he didn't expect this reason, keep it in his heart, and he can use it next time.

"Alright, you two get busy, I'll go see him." Saying that, Xue Chen went straight to the main house.

When Xue Chen entered the house, Xue Dingshan had already prepared a table of dishes in front of Xue Chen, and Xue Chen found a position away from Xue Dingshan's left hand when he saw this, and there were two or three people away from Xue Dingshan, so he sat down.

Xue Dingshan saw Xue Chen's movements after coming in, and sat beside him calmly, presumably Xue Chen should not have known so quickly about the matter of him going to talk to Su Qiange, so he relaxed a little.

"After going out for a few days, you must be tired and thinking about the food at home, right? Eat it. ”

As he spoke, Xue Dingshan picked up the rice bowl and sandwiched a piece of chicken thigh, which he originally wanted to put in Xue Chen's bowl, but thinking that such a care action might be too obvious, he had to put it back in his bowl.

Xue Chen noticed Xue Dingshan's movements, and the chopsticks that he had originally planned to stretch out were stunned.

This feeling always made Xue Chen feel familiar, but looking at Xue Dingshan's appearance, it seemed to be nothing, Xue Chen retracted his gaze and put a dish closest to him into the bowl.

"Aunt Zhang's dishes do have characteristics."

The specific characteristic is probably that it is not delicious, and even if you don't come back for four or five years, you won't think about it.

Xue Dingshan didn't understand what Xue Chen meant, he was old, and his sense of taste was not as good as before, and the general taste rarely caused Xue Dingshan's feelings.

"This time, the emperor didn't even let you go home, so he directly summoned you into the palace, there must be something important to tell you, right?" Xue Dingshan looked at Xue Chen, "I heard that you met a bandit on the way to protect Princess Ping'an?" What's going on, tell my dad. ”

"It's not a bandit, either."

Xue Chen hesitated and took a mouthful of the rice bowl in his hand, thinking about how to explain this to Xue Dingshan.

Before Xue Chen could speak, a group of uninvited guests came to the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and the voice of Qiu Gonggong, who was in charge of delivering the holy decree, resounded through the Pingnan Hou Mansion, "The holy decree has arrived!" Xue Chen took the order! ”

Hearing this, Marquis Pingnan looked at Xue Chen suspiciously, not understanding why Xue Chen had just come out of the palace, and the emperor had passed the holy decree again.

Xue Chen is very clear, it is precisely because of this clarity that Xue Chen's face is pale, he put down the rice bowl in his hand, got up and went outside to receive the order, the emperor's will, Xue Dingshan naturally wants to come out.

Father and son knelt on the ground and listened to the decree.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict said, there are months of drought in the north, the people have panicked, the people are not living, Xue Chen, the only son of Xue Dingshan, the Marquis of Ziping, has experience in disaster management, the virtue of good life, special life, Xue Suqing for the northern disaster relief royal history, to solve the drought and insect disaster in the north of the cloud, hope that Xue Aiqing will solve the drought in the north as soon as possible, and return to his hometown. Chin this! ”

After the decree was announced, Gonggong Qiu closed the holy decree in his hand and held it high.

"Xue Chen, Xue Suqing, take the order!"

Xue Chen knew about this earlier, so naturally he was not sad or happy, and stepped forward to stretch out his hand to result in the holy decree, "Minister, take the decree!" ”

Gonggong Qiu watched Xue Chen take the holy decree, with a hint of distress and regret in his eyes, as if he was not worth it for Xue Chen, but after looking at it for a long time, he only sighed in the end.

"Little Marquis, take care of yourself, the north is either a man of oil, or a barbarian, you have to have courage and courage to stay there, but there is no way, who let you ...... Hey, forget it, let's not talk about it. ”

As he spoke, Gonggong Qiu looked at Xue Dingshan, who seemed to have been immobilized, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Oops! What are you doing? What are you looking at here! This is the old marquis, help him up! ”

Xue Dingshan didn't get up, except for Xue Chen, who needed to receive the order, no one dared to move, and Gonggong Qiu greeted him for a long time, and only beckoned the people around him to come forward to help Xue Dingshan.

Father-in-law Qiu's favor, Xue Dingshan didn't brush, with the support of a group of little eunuchs and guards, Xue Dingshan stood up and stared at Xue Chen with straight eyes.

Seeing this, Gonggong Qiu understood the current situation, it seems that the little marquis is bold, and he hasn't explained it to the old marquis yet, so he let the emperor's holy decree take the lead.

The emperor's decree is indeed urgent, and Gonggong Qiu looked at the atmosphere between the two fathers and sons, and always felt that he seemed to have figured out some of the doorways inside.

But that's the only way to go, and he doesn't want to participate in it.

Trying to protect himself, Father-in-law Qiu hurriedly said to the two, "Two, the slave still has something to do, so he will retire first, and you two father and son can chat with each other." ”

After saying that, Gonggong Qiu hurriedly retreated with people and left the Hou Mansion, leaving Xue Chen and Xue Dingshan father and son, Xue Dingshan reached out and grabbed Xue Chen's wrist, staring at the holy decree in Xue Chen's hand.

"When?" Xue Dingshan looked up at Xue Chen, his eyes probing, "You don't look like you don't know." ”

Hearing this, Xue Chen turned his head to look at the incredulous Xue Dingshan and said, "I didn't intend to lie to you, I didn't have time to talk about it yet." ”

"So you really knew it a long time ago." Xue Dingshan grabbed Xue Chen's wrist, his eyes were like eagle falcons, staring at Xue Chen sharply, and said in a deep voice, "When is it?" ”

"Just now, when I was in the palace." Xue Chen said.

"Why did the emperor choose you?" Xue Dingshan stared at Xue Chen and said in a deep voice, "Did you recommend yourself?" Because of Su Qiange? ”

Xue Dingshan's heart is extremely sensitive at this moment, not only because Xue Chen was sent to the north to treat the disaster, but also because he has just returned from Su Qiange, and it is difficult for people to deceive themselves if they do something wrong.

What's more, Xue Dingshan himself is not good at lying, and he did not convince Su Qiange, but was instilled with a bunch of truths by Su Qiange.

Therefore, Xue Dingshan will naturally be more sensitive, and even affect the sensitivity of the whole body.

"It's not." Xue Chen broke away from Xue Dingshan's hand, handed the holy decree in his hand to the maid beside him, and asked the maid to send it back to the courtyard, which was not like talking to Xue Dingshan.

Seeing this, Xue Dingshan was even more sure of his guess.

"I guess so." Xue Dingshan was almost incoherent, "Her little head is the same as you, she doesn't think about any human feelings at all, just like an emotionless wood!" You're all just like her! ”

Xue Chen, who had always maintained his sanity when he heard this, suddenly frowned, with a faint anger in his eyes.

"You are not qualified to mention her, even the two of them, you are not qualified."

"And who's eligible?" Xue Dingshan doesn't have any general style at the moment, and his whole person is completely like an ordinary father who is troubled by his children, "My son of Xue Dingshan, because of a little personal relationship between his children, was exiled to the north and deducted a hat for disaster relief, I am not qualified to mention her?" ”

As he spoke, Xue Dingshan snorted lightly.

She said something self-contained, but it turned out that you didn't become what she is today! Why did the emperor let you go to the north, you didn't do this, do you remember who you are? ”

In the past, the prodigy who was given expectations, even if he was debauched, was a prodigy, but now the prodigy who angered the emperor could only be a "disaster relief imperial history" exiled to the north.

Xue Dingshan couldn't look at Xue Chen, who should have been on the rise, and just because of a woman, he lost all opportunities.

He originally thought that it would be impossible only for Su Qiange to insist, and Xue Chen was just making him angry for a while, but now it seems that Xue Chen didn't want to be angry with him, Xue Chen was firm in his thoughts.

That's even more terrifying!

Xue Chen heard a strange meaning in Xue Dingshan's series of uncalm words, Xue Chen frowned and looked at Xue Dingshan in disbelief, "Have you seen her?" ”

Xue Dingshan, who was still restraining himself and keeping calm, had completely given up restraint at this moment.

"What's wrong? Shouldn't Lao Tzu go and meet the woman who made my prodigy son's heart flutter, what kind of miraculous person is it? ”

Xue Chen's temples were bulging with green tendons stimulated by Xue Dingshan's words, his eyes were red, and he stared at Xue Dingshan, no one in the Pingnan Hou Mansion had ever seen such a gaffe.

"You gave me life, but it doesn't mean that you can decide how I live, how I want to live, it should be my own business."

The bloodshot in Xue Chen's eyes was clearly visible, and even his hands were trembling, he thought about the peace he wanted to maintain for so many years, since Xue Dingshan didn't care, then it would all be ruined.

"Anyway, I won't be what you hope to be, and you don't want anything except an obedient heir, so it's better to leave it like this, three days later, I will set off for the north, if I go north this time and don't return, I don't have to see each other for the rest of my life, you don't have to have my son, and you don't have to embarrass Su Qiange anymore." Anyway, I've never been an obedient filial son, and you should have expected today's events. ”

Saying that, Xue Chen turned around and prepared to go back to his yard to clean up his salute.

Xue Dingshan was also angry at Xue Chen's words, "You fuck fart!" You said that you would cut off relations with Lao Tzu, do you think it's okay? ”

Hearing this, Xue Chen turned his head and looked at Xue Dingshan coldly, "When you have no feelings for your mother, can't you kill her with one sword?" Now I should let you down enough, it's just that the emperor's order is here, and you can't kill me, so it's a matter of breaking off the relationship, isn't it just right. ”

"Don't mention your mother to me! She tried to rebel, and I was acting on orders! I'm for the big clouds, and you're because of a woman! You have left behind the benevolence and righteousness of kings, ministers, fathers and sons, only brutes will be like this! ”

Xue Chen turned his head to look at the angry Xue Dingshan, and suddenly the whole person calmed down, and his eyes were calm, "It's not one, it's two, and my mother is counted." ”
