Chapter 31 Brother

I used to be afraid of Li Longji's pressure, but now Li Longji has lost, which has made him feel relaxed for a while.

But gradually he realized that all the apparent glory came from his mother's trust and power, and both of them were indispensable. As long as they were lost, everything would disappear now...

It is really not a reliable thing to place your destiny on others.

Moreover, Li Longji is not dead yet, and he has been having no news for almost a month, which is a hidden danger after all.

……

The willow branches by the lake hang lazily in the scorching afternoon sun. Occasionally, they shake gently a few times.

There was no pedestrian on the stone road along the lake, so the small yard with green tiles and white walls inside seemed even more quiet.

Xue Chongxun and an eunuch walked to the front of the yard. He had dismounted, holding the reins in his left hand and a cage in his right hand.

At this time, Li Yan'er's biological mother, Sun, suddenly appeared at the door, which caught him off guard.I was just trying to come over and see where they live, but I didn't plan to say and do whatever they wanted.

Sun was surprised for a moment, widened his eyes that were somewhat similar to Li Yan'er and said: Why is Xue Lang visiting?

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: I'm just passing by.

On the west bank of Taizhaichi, where can I pass by here?Sun was stunned for a moment and quickly said politely: Since Xue Lang and this father-in-law are here, go into the yard to have a drink of water.

The woman's husband Li Chengqi was killed by Xue Chongxun.

Now she wants to be so polite to Xue Chongxun...

Xue Chongxun's feelings were indescribable.

The tranquility of the afternoon seemed to cleanse his anger. At this moment, he hoped that he and the people around him would live better.

Perhaps most people in the world think so, so that they can live better with the people around them.

In order to protect himself, Li Changqi voluntarily gave up the inheritance of his eldest son and gave the crown prince to Li Longji. He also smelled the bloody smell of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's battle for imperial power decades ago?

But things in the world are impermanent, and you can't defend yourself by retreating blindly. In the end, Li Changqi's family was destroyed and his family was left behind, leaving his orphan girl and widowed mother helpless, living in such a remote place, living in a trembling place.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the Sun mother and daughter.

He said: This is the inner court, I may not be convenient, so I won’t go in... I’m sorry for my cousin’s affairs.When he said this was sorry, it was indeed out of sincerity.

You... Sun raised his head in surprise and looked at Xue Chongxun's expression carefully. After a long time, he sighed, "No wonder Xue Lang, you are just acting on orders... I don't blame anyone, national affairs are not our business."

She added in the end, probably because she was afraid that Xue Chongxun and the eunuchs around him would spread the word, saying that she had resentment in her heart, and that their lives would be even harder.

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun remained silent. This is the sadness of human beings: without dignity and insecurity, just resentment, and it cannot be expressed.

At this time, he found that Sun was looking at the rabbit he was carrying, probably interested. Seeing this, Xue Chongxun didn't bother to think about how to explain to Yuwen Ji, so he generously handed the cage: This rabbit was given to Yan'er, and his cousin's wife accepted it on her behalf.

Sun was a little hesitant and forced a smile and said: Why are you embarrassed to do this?

Xue Chongxun said: It’s not a valuable thing, maybe Yan'er would like this little animal.

Only then did Sun take it and thank you.

Xue Chongxun could not fully guess her inner emotions, but at this time he had completely dispelled his inappropriate thoughts about Li Yan'er.

Sometimes things are not necessary, so don't need to be done too much.

He clasped his fists and said: I won’t bother you anymore, so I will say goodbye.After saying that, he turned over and left the courtyard.

The eunuch still followed him in front of him.Seeing that he was respectful, Xue Chongxun asked his name, Zhang Xiao, a small eunuch from the Provincial Escort.

……

When I got home, I just entered the mansion and met Xue Fulai, the butler of the Xue Mansion, who reported the matter.

This Xue Fu is in his fifties and is round from his head to his stomach.

I spent my whole life in the Xue family in Hedong. I used to be with Xue Shao, but now I am with Xue Chongxun, the eldest son of the Xue family.

His surname was not Xue before, and his surname was given by the Xue family. Everyone forgot his surname before, and he probably rarely remembered it.

The housekeeper took Xue Chongxun's reins and said: There is something, Erlang will leave Beijing tomorrow.Is your husband going to see him off?The old slave wanted to remind my husband yesterday, but he didn’t come back last night.

There is probably no one who is willing to give away Xue Erlang's current situation, and he cannot blame the warmth and coldness of people. Human relationships are just that.

However, Xue Chongxun was his elder brother after all, and he was born to a parent. If even Xue Chongxun didn't go to see him off, it would be a bit unreasonable.

It just so happened that there was still half a day today and there was nothing serious about it. Xue Chongxun said: I'll go there now and ask Pang Er to prepare the car.Xue Fu, prepare some things and install them as soon as possible.

Xue Fu said: As expected, the husband went to the down-close room to have a cup of tea for a break, and the old slave will be ready.

Xue Erlang's residence in Chang'an is also near Dongshi, not far from the Five Prince's Mansion. Before the Tanglong coup, he contacted Li Longji on behalf of Princess Taiping, which led to the joint efforts of the two major forces of the Li Dan family and the Taiping family, which was an indelible contribution.

In the past, Xue Erlang was more glorious than Xue Chongxun, but now it is the opposite.

Xue Chongxun took a group of slave guards to the front of the mansion and asked the door to go in and report it. After a while, Xue Erlang came out to greet him.

Erlang was still like that, wearing a purple round neck robe, thin figure, and a pale face.

Xue Erlang clasped his fists and said: Older brother.

Xue Chongxun waved his hand and walked inside without hesitation. Brother, don’t be polite.Pang Er, move the things in.My second brother is long to go back to Hedong for some food, clothing and use, so prepare more things.

Xue Erlang followed in and smiled and said, "I thought no one came to see me off, and there was still a brother, hehe."

Seeing that he was smiling without any force, Xue Chongxun couldn't help but say: Second brother, I think you are quite open-minded.

What do I have to think about?

Xue Erlang coughed, "The tiger poison is not enough to eat my child, and I didn't do anything to my mother, so my mother wouldn't do anything to me. At worst, she could cut off the title and go back to her hometown in Hedong. Our family is in Hedong and it's not that we can't continue to live."

Xue Chongxun nodded: It’s good that my second brother can think so. You have to pay attention to your body and avoid being addicted to alcohol and sex.

What wine and color?I am the only woman in your brother-in-law.Xue Erlang said as he walked, "I will be content if I have her in my life."

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun was a little surprised. When he grew up, he rarely lived with his second brother. After hearing what he said just now, he was still a passionate and intentional man?

The two entered a room in the front yard. Xue Erlang ordered the servants to prepare wine and food, and asked Xue Chongxun to sit opposite him on the couch and drink.

Seeing Erlang coughing again when he lifted the wine pot and poured wine, Xue Chongxun said casually: Pour less, why are your body so weak?

Erlang smiled and said: I've been like this all the time, it's not unaware of it.

Xue Chongxun picked up the wine glass in front of him and leaned down, exhaling, "Your throne will be cut off when your mother is angry. I will persuade you in a few days. Maybe we brothers can reunite with Chang'an to drink together."

Erlang shook his head and smiled: My elder brother, don’t worry, I had expected such an ending before.At that time, my mother and Li Sanlang were incompatible. Although I was optimistic about Sanlang, who could explain this kind of thing clearly?I have nothing to hide from my elder brother's thoughts. At that time, I didn't plan to help my mother. Even if it happened, it might be a good thing. If it didn't work, what should I do if my brother-in-law was alone when I died?I choose like that, and it is indeed not pleasing to both ends. No matter who wins, I will never have a greater glory, but I will not be doomed, my elder brother said, right?Am I alive well now?I want to persuade my elder brother that the water in Chang'an is still very muddy, so you still have to pay attention.

Xue Chongxun pondered: How do you say this?

Erlang's expression turned cold: The elder brother is at least two dangers.First, people's hearts, people's hearts are not in power, so on the surface, Li Sanlang is defeated, but as long as he doesn't die for a day, there is still a chance; second, who will be the country after his mother a hundred years?I'm afraid I'm still from the Li family. Where will the elder brother go then?You can take a look at Wu Sansi from my grandmother, but what is the good ending?But our brothers' stepfather has been devoted to life and has died.

Xue Chongxun frowned and pondered. His younger brother was gloomy on weekdays, but he did have some vision.

At this time, Erlang said again: The political situation has been turbulent over the years, and many families have been destroyed and destroyed. It is not easy for our Xue family to reach this point now.In my early years, my uncle died of conspiracy and my father was also implicated and was convicted. In the generation of our brothers, I was in great honor. Two years ago, I was the prince of the county, and now I should be the prince of the county... Alas, take care of me, elder brother.

Erlang's eyes actually showed a sense of vicissitudes, which was very inconsistent with his age in his early twenties.

Xue Chongxun thought about Erlang's words and pondered for a long time, thinking that Erlang said something was of eight points, but Xue Chongxun's situation was different from Erlang. He could retreat, but how could Xue Chongxun retreat?

Li Dan’s eldest son, Li Chengqi, is a good example. Being born there is a threat. As long as you fail, advance is death and retreat.

Since that's the case, it's better to go up!

Sitting and waiting for death is what Xue Chongxun hates the most; he likes it very much.

In his previous life, as a bully, he had no future in his struggle. He lived without dignity and status. He could not get anything he wanted and pretended to be a grandson everywhere. Since he had certain conditions in this life, why should he continue to pretend to be a grandson?

Why should I give in to Tubo? Why should I give the woman I like to the woman I want to give it to Tubo?Swallowing your anger?Nonsense, let others swallow their anger!

Greater power and strength, desires slowly formed in his heart...
