Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 388

But it is said that the Xue brothers walked towards the backyard after they came out of the study.

Xue Yunyan's residence in Pingcheng is located under Xiaodunling outside the south gate. The place is not as big as the one in Shangjing, and there are only three entrances. The only advantage is that it is very quiet and can block many curious prying eyes.

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

The yard is very empty, with only a few trees planted, and it is full of dead branches, with some snow falling on the branches. There are no elegant things like pavilions and rockeries in the yard, but a lotus pond has been dug in the southwest corner. It's just that there is only mud in that pool now.

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

Needless to say, Xue Yunyan followed the rules of the Linqiu Xue family and named this house in Pingcheng Peiyu Garden.

The two of them walked slowly along the corridor in the courtyard. Outside the curved corridor, the snow was still falling sparsely, the sky was also dim with a little lead dust, and the clouds were piled up on the horizon, and there was a kind of depression when looking at it.

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

At this time, Xue Yunheng had lost his publicity just now, and stood with his hands behind his back on the porch, his voice was cold and quiet: "After this snowfall, I don't know how many people in Jiangyang County will be deprived of food."

The drought in Dachen is severe, and the grain harvest is in short supply. Now most of the grain in the north has to be transported from the south.However, according to the news he received a few days ago, the north encountered a rare heavy snow this year, and the north and south arteries were all blocked by heavy snow.Xue Yunheng left early, if it was ten and a half months later, he might be stuck on the road.

After hearing Xue Yunheng's words, Xue Yunyan turned his eyes and glanced at him lightly, with no expression in his amber eyes: "I'm still here, does the second brother think that your elder brother really only knows how to hatch eggs?"

The tone was half joking, but what he said made Xue Yunheng's eyes light up.

Regardless of the teasing meaning in the other party's language, he focused on Xue Yunyan and asked seriously: "Brother, you mean that you have already made proper arrangements?"

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

Looking at his background, a smile suddenly appeared on Xue Yunheng's face.

"After all, he is an iron-faced gentleman, and his actions are as solid as iron, leak-proof." He said with a half-smile, paused for a moment, and then said with emotion: "Although it is not humane, but for Li Shu, Sichen's chicken is good. Chicken, whether it's iron or mud."

It doesn't matter whether Xue Yunyan is doing it for his own performance appraisal, or he is trying to gain fame, after all, he has done practical things for the people. If there are more officials like this, Da Chen will not be in the situation he is today.

It should be said that these words were Xue Yunheng's extremely positive evaluation of Xue Yunyan, but when he said them, it sounded like scolding.

Fortunately, Xue Yunyan seldom haggled with his second brother on such matters, so he just smiled and said nothing.

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

"How is father?" Xue Yunyan asked after walking for a while.

Xue Yunheng raised his hand to put his hair on the jade crown, his wide white sleeves drooped down, his expression was very casual, and he said: "Of course my father is well, he has been raising him on the bed for several days. When I left, his old man still sleepy all day and rarely wakes up."

"That's good." Xue Yunyan said with a sigh of relief.

Hearing that his father was ill, he seemed to feel very happy, his tone was unusually relaxed, he paused for a while and then said: "If father can be sick for a year or so, I, Mrs. Xue, will be fine." Saying this At that moment, there was peace in his amber eyes, nothing unusual.

Xue Yunheng didn't comment when he heard the words, and the expression on his face was somewhat unpredictable.

The two brothers discussed their father who was seriously ill without any scruples. They didn't worry at all, and they didn't know how Duke Xue, who was far away in Dadu, would react to this.

"I heard that Your Majesty often convenes secret discussions among the three princes for the sake of the Huan family." Xue Yunyan changed the subject, and his declarative tone showed his certainty about the matter.

Xue Yunheng's expression was serious, "Yes" and said: "There should be nothing wrong. Otherwise, my father would not have been 'injured' and seriously ill, and he would have been lying on the couch all these days." At this point, he suddenly sighed. With a sound, he said: "I didn't understand until now why my father rejected the marriage proposal of the Feng family and the Shi family with great fanfare. It turned out that it was to avoid the position of the three princes..."

There was no like or dislike in his tone, only a gloomy expression, not as free and easy as before.

Xue Yunyan's footsteps stopped, at that moment, his gray robe sleeves fluttered slowly in the breeze, after a moment of silence, his indifferent voice sounded: "Father is far-sighted, I can't wait."

Xue Yunheng fell silent, flicked his sleeve lightly, and said, "Forgive me for not agreeing."

As soon as these words came out, the two of them stopped at the same time.

At this time, they were walking to the corner of the veranda, and further ahead was the lotus pond.Xue Yunheng looked around, and simply sat down with his robe lifted, then pointed to the seat opposite, and said lazily: "Sit down and discuss."

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

The weather in the south is warmer than that in the north. The two of them are used to winter in the north, and they don't feel cold at this time. Sitting there, their backs are straight, and they don't show any fear of the cold.

The fine snow is like a dance, and sometimes it is blown into the corridor by the breeze, accumulating light white frost.

"The clan is the most important, the society is the second, and the king is the least. I don't think this is right." Xue Yunheng opened his mouth abruptly, with a solemn and slightly disapproving expression on his face, "As a member of the Guan clan, an extremely human minister, To enjoy the support of the people and the favor of the monarch, one should be dedicated to the public, the country, and the people, how can one surname be superior to everyone?"

There was an agitation in his tone that he didn't even notice, and he couldn't stop his voice from whispering when he spoke.

It seems that he has his own ideas about Mr. Xue's actions of ignoring political affairs under the pretext of illness and avoiding Huan's family rebellion.

Xue Yunyan glanced sideways at him upon hearing this.

That glance is extremely far away, as if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, vast and vast.

"My point of view is exactly the opposite of yours." He said softly, raised his hand to smooth a crease on the hem of his clothes, and said calmly: "The clan is close, the society is far away, and the king... is far away in the sky. My business? When I can advance, I will advance. If I don’t advance, I will keep it. If I can’t keep it, I will retreat. As long as there is a basis for advancing and retreating, you can be a wise man. There is a folk saying, I would like to say it to my second brother, that sentence says' A person has as big a head as he can wear a hat', I deeply agree. Think about it, my second brother, if a person can't even protect his family and relatives, what can he use to talk about protecting the country and the people and revitalizing the society?"
