Xie Yuncang was choked by his words, and his face showed a little helplessness, "Uncle Fang Shi is completely selfless?"

Fang Congwen put a piece of dim sum into his mouth and shook his head gracefully, "What selfish can I have? When your father went to the exam with me, I said under the Zhengyang Sect that I would either not be an official in my life, or I would do what I wanted to do as an official."

At the mention of his father, Xie Yuncang's eyes showed a little nostalgia, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and look at the person opposite: "Then dare to ask, what does Uncle Fang Shi want to do?"

Fang Congwen didn't answer him immediately, but savored the taste of the dim sum in his mouth, his eyes fell on the bustling flow of people outside, and then he sighed and smiled: "Such a prosperous scene can only be seen in a place like the capital."

Xie Yuncang also looked over when he heard this, although there was still a war at the border now, and the people who came and went were a little more hurried than usual, but the shouting along the street, the children's fighting, and the sound of bargaining were not full of the breath of life.

Xie Yuncang retracted his gaze, and then sighed, "Fighting comes and goes, and in the end, it is the people who suffer!"

Fang Congwen shook his head, "That's not what I'm talking about."

This made Xie Shoufu a little surprised.

Fang Congwen looked at his surprised eyebrows and said, "Maocai! It's been a long time since you've been down!"

Such words are nothing less than a denigration for a person who is the head of the dynasty and a person in the center of the power of the empire.

Xie Yuncang's face turned red, and then he gave up his hand, "What Uncle Fang Shi said is true."

"I came from Yuhang, it was originally a rich place that I could count in the Great Apocalypse, since I left the court, for so many years, I and your aunt and I have been in Jiangnan with our children, and we have a little ancestral property in our hands, and that day can really be regarded as a fairy."

Probably remembering the past, Fang Congwen's face showed a little nostalgia.

But...... A good life needs to be maintained, since the five years of Yufeng, how many times have you been in the court today?

Even though the cabinet is capable of producing a large number of people, the celebrant and the cabinet, as well as the local government affairs system in various places, have been restrained back and forth and poured into each other, and how many of those so-called decrees have fallen on the heads of the people.

How much is it really for the sake of the people, not for the so-called party struggle?"

When he said this, his face showed a bit of resentment, "Such a lack of government provides a hotbed for factional disputes, causing everyone in the court to think about grouping, and every young person who enters the court first thinks about whose door he wants to worship, rather than coming with the vigor of a young man."

Xie Yuncang's face became serious, and he looked at the elder in front of him who always seemed to be a little cynical.

It's no wonder that when my father was there, when I mentioned this Mr. Fang, there was always a bit of appreciation and admiration in my tone.

Probably feeling that he was too excited, Fang Congwen was silent for a moment, and then waved his hand, "Let's go! Drink tea first!"

Xie Yuncang pondered for a moment, then picked up the tea bowl and motioned to the person opposite, "Uncle Fang Shiyi."

Fang Congwen sneered lightly and shook his head, "What kind of righteousness am I? If it was for the sake of righteousness, I wouldn't be alive now, and I should have died in the court.

But what about me! I was very sorry for my life, I knew very well about that posture at the beginning, even if I risked my life, I didn't have the law to persuade that person, so I ran away, ran to the far away emperor of the sky, and no one could catch me, and I lived happily for so many years."

Fang Congwen spoke chicly, but there was a little more loneliness in his eyes.

At the beginning, I was the same youth, the same ambition, and it was irresponsible to say that I was afraid of death, and it was not a helpless compromise.

Now that he is back in office, he is already over the age of six, and his temples are frosty, how can he say that he has no regrets?

Xie Yuncang sighed, looked at the person opposite, thought about it and asked, "That Uncle Fang is a little bolder than before now?"

Fang Congwen laughed at himself, "It's not that it's bolder than before, but this life that I cherished has been almost done, but it's not worth it."

It's a pity."

His gaze once again fell on the crowd outside, "If God blesses, maybe there will be a chance to go back to the south and see the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, and the grass grows and the kites fly."

This time, he quickly restrained his emotions, and turned to look at Xie Yuncang with a smile and said: "Your father once said that you are not as good as your eldest brother in terms of talent and learning, and you are inferior to your third brother in terms of elegance, but in terms of being an official, both of them are inferior to you, and your way of being an official is only the word cautious, so I am a little curious, have you really thought about it this time?"

"If you hadn't thought about it, how could you come here with Uncle Fang Shi?" Xie Yuncang chewed a peanut carefully, "Father's words back then may not have been praising me, in the final analysis, I was just timid, but I was two more vain than Uncle Fang Shi."

When Fang Congwen heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and then raised his teacup towards him, "It's my honor to see you brave once like this."

The two of them drank all the tea in the bowl at the same time, then got up and went out.

Looking at the two big characters of the old lady of the Xie family on the lintel, Xie Yuncang was in a trance for a while, he always felt that his father was very cautious and cautious as an official, and it was also an official way that he had respected and recognized very much since he was a child. Look at the book

Now it seems that my father may not really be willing to wallow in such an officialdom environment all his life, but he is just doing his best.

Xie Yuncang sighed, he begged caution all his life, hoping to inherit his father's will and take the Xie family further, at least, to let the Xie family maintain the glory of his father's time.

And now......

But......

Regret it?

Xie Yuncang clenched his fists hard, and then let out a long sigh of relief, perhaps, his father's spirit in the sky would also support him in doing this.

When I returned home, I found that Mrs. Xie was not there.

Although it was difficult to explain the things planned to his mother, she really wanted to talk to her at this time, and it seemed that the communication with her mother could give him a touch of his father's thoughts.

"Mother hasn't been out much in years, but she seems to be going out a lot more lately."

Xie Changqing whispered a soft "um" while eating, and then said slowly: "It's probably because the atmosphere in the capital has been a little too depressing recently, and the old man also wants to go out for a walk!"

Xie Yuncang glanced at him when he heard this, and he immediately raised his hand to make a surrender form, "I just said it casually, my mother hasn't talked to us much recently, I really don't know what I'm thinking."

Seeing his brother like this, Xie Yuncang remembered what Fang Congwen said today, and he suddenly subconsciously asked, "Big brother, have you thought of your father recently?"

Xie Changqing thought that he had promised his friend a picture that had not yet been written, so he was in a hurry to dare to go to the study, but he didn't hear what he said clearly for a while, and there was a puzzled look on his face, "What did you say?"

Xie Yuncang looked at his brother, who was obviously much simpler and more casual than his preoccupied self at this time, and suddenly smiled, "It's nothing, I just thought that in the past, in front of my father, my eldest brother always protected me."

With that, he turned and went to his study.

Xie Changqing, who was full of doubts, was left behind.

Protecting him?

Really?

Why does it seem that in his memory, he has always been the protector of his younger brother?

The second brother has always been the most promising, a child that his father is proud of, how could it be his turn to protect the second brother?

Xie Changqing felt that his younger brother seemed to be a little different today, but he thought about it for a long time but didn't have a clue, so he just shook his head and went to his study.
