Yunsu, who was dressed in lilac and had a somewhat pale face for many years, was holding a box of cricket jars in his hand and had just come back from fighting crickets. He was going to go back to his courtyard, but he happened to meet Yun Chong, who came to look for him.

Yun Su is the eldest son of Yun Cangsong, born to Mrs. Zhengfang, and is the eldest young master of Yun Bohou Mansion. Unfortunately, his health has not been good since he was a child, and he needs to take decoction regularly. As the eldest son of the current Marquis of Yunbo, Yun Su has no qualifications to inherit the title, and can only be a young master of Yunfu, but his nature is lazy, he does not like to compete with others for fame and fortune, and he does not want to be an official and a half-position in the court. Xu is not interested in many things because of his poor health, but he loves the cricket for ten minutes.

Yun Chong is the second son of Yun Cangsong, born by the fifth aunt of the side house, and is the second young master of Yun Bohou's Mansion. Although Yun Chong was born in a partial house and is not a son-in-law, he is competitive by nature, and he is unwilling to be a young master in a partial house or seek a position that is neither high nor low in the court.

Yun Cangsong also has a son, named Yun Yang, who was born by the third aunt of the partial house, and has stayed with his grandfather in Weizhou City since he was a child. The third aunt comes from a small scholarly family in Weizhou City, and she is the only daughter in the family. The third aunt died in childbirth, and her father was heartbroken, and later in order to let her father have a sustenance, he sent Yun Yang to be raised.

"Big brother." Yun Chong saw Yun Su from a distance, or he deliberately pinched a little and waited for Yun Su to come back.

"Second brother."

Yun Chong glanced at the cricket jar in Yun Su's hand, and asked jokingly, "Big brother, this is fighting crickets with people again, how is it?" How's the battle going? ”

"Recently, Cheng Sangongzi has a new fierce general, and Hubao has a tie with it." Hubao is one of the crickets raised by Yunsu, and he is his most precious and powerful general.

"Even Tiger Treasure only tied with it, it seems that the third son of the Cheng family did get a treasure this time."

"Not really. By the way, why did the second brother come to me? ”

Yun Chong casually looked around and suggested, "Big brother, let's go back to your yard first?" ”

"In that case, then go in and say, don't stand at the door."

After entering the hospital, Yunsu handed over the hand cricket jar to his subordinates and asked people to serve tea in the living room.

Yun Su picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Second brother, can you tell me if you have something?" ”

Yun Chong also gently held the teacup, pinched the tea lid with his hand and repeatedly waved the water surface outward, "Actually, it's nothing important, isn't this the Mid-Autumn Festival coming, I haven't seen the fourth brother come back yet, so I want to ask the eldest brother if he heard the news from his grandfather, and when the fourth brother will come back." ”

"I did hear my grandfather talk about it a few days ago, saying that the fourth brother wrote a letter saying that he would rush back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it is unknown when he will arrive in Yicheng."

Yun Chong looked like a big stone in his heart falling, "It's good to be able to rush back." ”

"yes. After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion, and the family is more lively together. ”

Hearing this, Yun Chong couldn't help but smile and said: "Big brother is joking, the fourth brother has been cold for many years, don't be cold, it's a good thing." ”

"You can't say that. The fourth brother lost his parents when he was four years old, and it is normal for him to be cold. It is much better for a family to be able to get together for the holidays than to be without anyone. ”

"I'm just kidding, big brother, don't take it seriously. But the eldest brother really loves the fourth brother. ”

"They are all their own brothers, and it is natural for you to love your younger brother as an elder brother, doesn't the eldest brother care about you?"

Yun Chong was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "That being said, the eldest brother can treat the fourth brother sincerely, and he really admires you for the younger brother." ”

Yun Su was puzzled when he heard this, "Why do you say that?" ”

Yun Chong carefully noticed the change in Yun Su's expression, and said, "The eldest brother is the eldest son of the Marquis of Yun Bo, but he has no inheritance rights, doesn't the eldest brother mind?" ”

Hearing this, Yun Su showed a displeased look and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Don't mention this matter again." ”

"Big brother, I'm sorry for you, the position of the son of this world should be yours."

"Second brother!" cough cough cough ...... Yun Su was so excited that he couldn't help coughing.

Seeing this, Yun Chong pretended to be concerned and said, "Big brother, are you okay?" Take a sip of tea and go well. ”

cough cough cough ...... Ahem...... Yun Su took the tea in Yun Chong's hand and felt much more comfortable after taking a sip. "Out of the way." cough cough...... "You have also seen my body, it is impossible to support the heavy responsibility of being in charge of the Yunbo Marquis Mansion." Besides, this position should have belonged to the fourth brother, if it weren't for the early death of the uncle, it would be impossible for the father to take over the position of the marquis. Therefore, you should not mention this matter again in the future, and don't let anyone with a heart listen to it and destroy the relationship between our brothers. ”

Yun Chong was very disdainful in his heart, Yun Su did not fight or grab, it did not mean that he would follow suit. Since you don't want to be the eldest brother, then it's my second turn.

Seeing that Yun Chong didn't speak, Yun Su asked again, "Can you understand my words?" ”

"For my brother to understand, I will never mention it again in the future."

……

Out of Yun Su's courtyard, Yun Chong went directly to the most famous tavern in Yicheng, where he had made an appointment to drink tonight.

Wuyuan Tavern, on the second floor, there are already two sons sitting in the 'listening to the rain' private room, one is the third son of the Taiwei Mansion - Lu Zhongshu, and the other is the second son of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Mansion - Jiang Mingdu. These two people are the people Yun Chong made an appointment to drink.

"Brother Lu, Brother Jiang, Yun Chong is too late, please don't blame him."

"We can understand something, but if it's late, we have to implement the old rules, and Brother Yun should be fined three glasses of wine." Lu Zhongshu said with a smile.

"That's right, the old rule, three glasses of wine." Jiang Mingdu echoed.

"It's nature." After that, Yun Chong took three glasses of wine in a row, as if it was not enough, so he continued to drink two glasses before stopping.

Lu Zhongshu and Jiang Mingdu glanced at each other, this person was in a bad mood. Something must be wrong!

Jiang Mingdu proposed: "Brother Yun seems to be in a bad mood, do you want to call a few dancing girls to have fun?" ”

Yun Chong shook his head and said no, "Forget about the dancing girl, if you don't have this mood, it's good to have wine." ”

"Since Brother Yun has something in his heart, you might as well say it and listen to it with us, maybe we can give you ideas and solve your problem."

Yun Chong poured himself another glass of wine and drank it, "This matter, you can't solve it, just drink with me." ”

Lu Zhongshu also poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, and didn't forget to say: "If you don't say how do you know that we can't solve it, we can accompany you to drink wine, and the idea can also be thought of with you!" ”

"Brother Lu is right. If you have something, just say it, and we will help if we can, and the friendship over the years is not in vain. Jiang Mingdu said.

Alas...... Yun Chong poured another glass of wine for everyone, and after drinking his own cup, he said angrily: "It's not my big brother who is not angry!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhongshu and Jiang Mingdu glanced at each other again, and their hearts were clear. Lu Zhongshu gave Jiang Mingdu a color and asked him to continue to apply Yun Chong's words.

Jiang Mingdu poured another glass of wine for Yun Chong, then raised his glass to the other party, and then said: "Don't be too angry, Brother Yun Su has been in poor health since he was a child, and it is reasonable to talk about things." But he is really good to you, and you have to understand and understand. ”

"Good for me? No matter how good he is to me, he is not as good as Yun Moxi's kid, and he doesn't want to think about who is his own brother. ”

"That's right, you two are the biological brothers of the same father, and Yun Moxi is just born to your uncle. Brother Yunsu is a bit too much at this point. ”

Yun Chong picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Jiang Mingdu, "Brother Jiang still understands me." ”

Jiang Mingdu smiled imperceptibly, "You and I have been friends for many years, and I have long regarded you as my own brother, and you can understand the bitterness of being a brother in your heart." ”

"Hello anyway!"

"I have a suggestion for that." Lu Zhong wrote.

"Oh? Brother Lu has any method, let's listen to it, and I will also give Brother Yun a reference. ”

"I think that Brother Yun Su is a reasonable person, Brother Yun might as well tell him what you think in your heart, and he will definitely be able to understand your suffering."

Tell him? Do you really mean that I am suffering because he is better to Yun Mo than to me? It's hard to tell the truth.

Yun Chong didn't answer, and drank two glasses of wine in a row, and he was already a little drunk at this time.

Seeing that Yun Chong didn't answer, Jiang Mingdu said: "I don't think it's appropriate, although Brother Yun Su is reasonable, he is also a person who values feelings, his feelings for Yun Moxi are not fake, even if Brother Yun says that he is upset, I am afraid that Brother Yun Su will not be able to make a choice." ”

"What Brother Jiang said also makes sense, so what can you do?"

"As far as I can see, Brother Yun should go directly to the key person among them." Jiang Mingdu Road.

Lu Zhong's letter didn't seem to know what Jiang Mingdu meant, and asked, "The key person?" Brother Jiang, what do you mean? ”

"This key person, of course, refers to Yun Moxi. As the saying goes, hit the snake and hit the seven inches, although this metaphor is not appropriate here, but it also tells us a truth - to find out the key to do things and start directly. This is much more useful than going through the inconsequential steps in between. ”

"Brother Jiang's analysis is reasonable, Brother Yun, what do you think of this method?"

When Yun Chong heard this, he poured a full glass of wine for the three of them, then raised his glass and said to the two: "This truth is good, it's worth a try!" Cheers, good brother. ”

"Cheers." Lu Zhongshu and Jiang Mingdu secretly looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison.

Lu Zhongshu and Jiang Mingdu understood in their hearts that the irritability in Yun Chong's heart did not refer to Yun Su's attitude towards him and Yun Moxi, but to Yun Su's attitude towards the position of the prince of Yun Bohou's mansion.

The two have long seen that Yun Chong is ambitious for the position of the prince, but he is only born in a partial house, and it is difficult to inherit the title, and it can even be said that it is out of reach. However, they don't care if Yun Chong can succeed or not, as long as the other party has this ambition.

The reason why Yun Chong is so annoyed by Yun Su's attitude of not fighting or grabbing is because it is much easier and easier to compete for the position of prince as Yun Su than him. As long as Yun Su succeeds in seizing the position of the prince, then his enemy is only Yun Su, in his eyes, Yun Su is much easier to deal with than Yun Moxi, and his path will be much easier. Besides, Yun Su has not been in good health since he was a child, and as long as there is an accident that causes Yun Su to die young, he will be the rightful successor.

And now Yunsu's attitude is very clear, so it is impossible for his previous ideas to be implemented. If he dealt with Yun Moxi directly, Yun Su knew that it would be impossible to help him in this matter, and it might even become an obstacle for him. This is a little more difficult than Yunsu to fight and help himself.

But now this is the most difficult road, and it is also the only way he can choose.

For the sake of power and status, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, some people will insist on moving forward, this is the magic of the temptation of power.
