Green Lin Dust

After talking about the business, the father and son couldn't find any more topics, except for the secret.

Xue Lu is not a qualified father, Xue Kaichao seems to him more like an incidental problem of Mrs. Dugu, and he never takes it seriously, nor has he had the opportunity to take it seriously.

Although there is no conflict and discord, after the distance is getting farther and farther, there is also a touch of warmth.If the wife is still there, maybe they can become a good family, but it would be a bit redundant to talk about feelings now.

Xue Kaichao has already grown up, and Xue Lu has passed away too far, so instead of asking for warmth, it is better to ask the secret: "When are you going to reveal the secret that you have dragon blood?"

No one could raise this question more lightly than Xue Lu, and directly pointed out the word "dragon blood".

Xue Kaichao was also taken aback.He knew early on that he was different, and got along well with this secret, but no one else could treat his identity calmly.

"Not now, I have to wait until I won't die because of it, and no one will die because of it." Xue Kaichao replied in this way.

"Be careful." Xue Lu frowned.

Xue Kaichao agreed.

It is clear that the Xue family has married the royal family many times, and it is not so new to give birth to offspring with dragon blood, but it is still too dangerous for offspring with almost half of their bodies to be transformed into dragons.

Few people know this secret.Thanks to the discord between Xue Lu and his family at that time, he lived in Luoyang for a long time, and his wife recuperated behind closed doors after giving birth, so he controlled the source of news.

This matter cannot be made public, because at this time, the dragon blood that can be displayed on the body is a unique feature of the royal family.Even so, they are often incomplete and unusable.

With such an heir in the Xue family, it is easy to bring disasters.Even if there is no murder, it is inevitable that someone wants to take advantage of this infant child.How difficult is it to figure out that Bailong is dead, Qinglong is standing, and Xue Kaichao is the emperor?

Therefore, Xue Kaichao knew from the time he could remember that the people around him were strictly guarded, all in order to hide his special features.

Xue Lu didn't have any special expectations for his son, nor did he pin any hopes on him.However, it was impossible for the Xue family, so even the Xue family didn't know about it.

Another reason for such strict defense is that although Xue Kaichao can almost be regarded as half dragon and half man, but because the two bloodlines cannot coexist peacefully, they often compete with each other, so they have inherent weaknesses.

The best solution is naturally that his cultivation base is getting more and more sophisticated, and his human blood is evolving step by step, and finally keeps pace with the already very powerful dragon's blood and fights against it.

The worst-case scenario is that the two tigers will fight each other, and finally exhaust their blood and energy, and the lamp will dry up.

However, there is no rush for practice, so we have to proceed step by step.Because of this, Xue Kaichao spent most of his life earning his life, and Xue Lu did not act for too long before abdicating. With the current situation, perhaps it can only be said that it is his own fault.

But both father and son had a tacit understanding, so they avoided the step of blaming each other. After talking politely, Xue Kaichao didn't stop any longer and went straight back.

After entering the palace and paying homage to the two empresses, they can leave for Luoyang.Although he knew that he would not stay any longer, the news spread that he would see him the next day, Xue Kaichao's uncle was still taken aback and hurried over.

"I've only stayed here for a few days, so I'm in a hurry to leave? No matter what, I can't leave until your birthday is over. In the past, you were in Luoyang, so I couldn't celebrate your birthday. Now that you're in Chang'an, it's inevitable that there will be some excitement. Yes." His uncle looks five points like Xue Lu, but he is a lot more friendly, and his tone of speech with his nephew is also considerate, and there is a little helplessness in presiding over all the affairs of such a big family: "I also know that you don't like to be lively. , but we still have to have what we should have, otherwise, I won’t care too much about my nephew. Let’s just do it in our own home, and it won’t be too much.”

Xue Kaichao didn't insist on hearing the words.He grew up in Luoyang until he was 12 years old. After the death of his mother, Xue Lu had no intention of raising the youngest son, so he was sent to the house to take care of him. On the contrary, he was more familiar with his uncle.He has different opinions, and he has to listen to them.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Xue Yuan struck while the iron was hot: "You devoted yourself to cultivation, and you took over the position of the second elder brother's lord. You have been to Luoyang since you were 19 years old. Sometimes when you think about it, it seems like it was only yesterday that you came to stay at home. I know that you have already transcended and don't value human feelings. But my cultivation base is too low to reach this level, so I always want to do something for you."

Xue Kaichao's silence was exchanged for this outpouring of emotion. The two faced each other, and he might not feel it, but Shu Jun, who was quietly watching from the corner, always felt that there was an indescribable violation.

Perhaps Xue Kaichao was so calm that whatever Xue Yuan said seemed to be talking to herself.

But Shu Jun didn't know Xue Yuan well enough after all, he must be sure if he could speak softly, and Xue Kaichao almost agreed if he didn't refuse.After a moment of silence, Lord Qinglin finally compromised: "That's fine."

His uncle showed a gratified smile, didn't stay long, got up and left.Leaving Shu Jun watching his back disappear suspiciously, he went to see Xue Kaichao again.

"When is the lord's birthday?" He didn't ask the question that was really curious in his heart, but asked a less curious question.

Xue Kaichao came back from the door, sat down on the couch, and replied at the same time: "The sixth day of March."

The day is very coincidental, although it is not a festival, but as the main growth of Qingling and spring, it is easy to make people feel that this coincidence is very strange.

Shu Jun curled up his body and groaned.Xue Kaichao opened the half-read book that was closed because of Xue Yuan's visit, and reached out to touch his face without raising his head: "When the day comes, don't run around, just stay here."

This exhortation was somewhat unusual, and Shu Jun thought that his agreement to stay proved that although Xue Yuan's description was too emotional, it moved him after all, so he looked up with a pair of puzzled eyes.

Xue Kaichao didn't explain much.

Although it was true that Xue Yuan took care of him when he lived here, it cannot be said that there is no affection between uncle and nephew.But when Xue Kaichao came here, he was almost half an adult, 12 years old. He remembered his parents and his mother's death, so he was very difficult to get close to.And he grew up too fast, and within a few years, he quickly peeled off the surface layer of floating feelings, becoming unhappy and not easy to get close to.

Xue Yuan tried her best, but she was only a little better than Xue Lu.The connection between the two cannot be severed because of their positions, but in fact they don't have any deep feelings.

For Xue Kaichao, he just has no feelings.

After all, they have different ways and do not conspire with each other. Xue Yuan is the upright and friendly family housekeeper. Xue Kaichao has no such concerns. His action style is similar to Xue Lu's, which is actually very troublesome.

He is willing to keep this birthday, even if Xue Yuan has fulfilled his wish, he quickly made preparations.

He said that he only held a banquet at his own home, but it was actually even more lively than the previous reception banquet. There were a lot of visitors, and all the rich and powerful in the city came.Naturally, the banquet has the characteristics of Xianmen. From fine wine and jade liquid to dishes and silk bamboo, all are the rules passed down by the Xue family for hundreds of years.

After all, it was to celebrate the Lord Ling's birthday, and the Lord Ling was so young.

Among the guests, the only person Shu Jun could claim to know was Li Puti, who came very early and brought gifts to Xue Kaichao's yard, and went to the front after saying a few words.

The rest of Shu Jun not only did not know each other, but also had no chance to meet him—he stayed in his room obediently, and had nothing to do with him after the banquet, so he had to go around the rooms and check the candlelight doors and windows, so as not to be caught off guard for a while. Can't stand the fire.

The liveliness in the front cannot be heard from the back, but the sound of silk and bamboo is often continuous, resounding through the mansion skyline.Shu Jun took a copy of "Yin Fu Jing Zhu" to read.

The full text of this scripture is only more than 300 characters, which is actually not that many. Even if there are some characters you don’t know, it doesn’t take much time to read them thoroughly.Filled with detailed annotations, they explained everything from the beginning to the end, and even quoted from many sources, dozens of times more than the scriptures themselves, to complete a book, which is most suitable for laying the foundation for Shu Jun.

Youquan specially found the book, so Shu Jun took it very seriously.He didn't have the opportunity to study in the past, and he could even flip through the playbooks. Now that he is serious and capable, he is very hardworking and eager to learn.In addition to reading the enlightenment book I found for myself, I will also take the initiative to read other books, no matter whether I can understand it or not, at least memorize it.

When I was outside, I didn’t think reading was very important. It was just because I couldn’t read that I valued reading very highly. As long as I read a book, I didn’t seem like a dog anymore.Now if Shu Jun is asked to explain the benefits of being able to read and write, he will still speak superficially.Being able to understand the truth, being able to be of practical use, that's all.

However, he has already noticed that compared with the people around him, he is still inferior, even far behind.They have many years of foundation, it is natural for Shu Jun not to be able to catch up, but it would be terrible if they could not keep up for the rest of their lives, so they had to try their best to make up for it.

From Qingyang County to Chang'an, this distance will take many people's lives, but Shu Jun only took one month, and it was really good wind that sent me to Qingyun by force.He will go to Luoyang in the future, and there are still many storms preparing to fall in the clouds. Now that he has noticed the clues, he can't forget the existence of the crisis.

Just like a little ant in the corner of the wall, people may not be able to perceive the vibration and humidity in the air before it rains. He has already been busy storing food in the nest because he built his nest in Xue Kaichao's yard.

However, I didn't read the book for a long time. After dark, the candles in the room were lit, and there was a commotion from front to back.Shu Jun went out from his room, just in time to see Xue Kaichao coming in surrounded by a group of people, his expression was unclear.Youquan, who was walking fast, walked up the steps quickly, knocked on the curtain, and winked at the same time.Seeing her slightly anxious brow, Shu Jun hastily followed her in.

The extra people stopped under the steps, but the turbulent air still passed silently.

Shu Jun was instructed to follow Xue Kaichao, who was walking forward all the way, into the dormitory. He was covered by the thin cloak he had taken off, and hurriedly took it off and put it aside. Xue Kaichao had already walked to the bed curtain and reached the end of the inner room. After a pause, he turned around and walked back, picked him up and threw him on the bed.

A burst of alcohol came over, Shu Jun was startled and screamed out.

However, the bed net had already been put down, Xue Kaichao pressed on him, and didn't move: "I'm drunk, please speak louder."
