Records of the King of Xin'an County

Due to the joint efforts of all kinds of low-level tricks inside and outside, Yang Shijing and Yang Shangshu's plan finally came to nothing, and he sulked for a long time alone in the study.After such a thing happened, it was too late to cover it up, how could the Yang family have any intention of continuing to hold the night banquet?As a result, the originally scheduled banquet was cancelled.After finally regaining his calm, Yang Shangshu sent Yang Qian to invite Wang Zixian and Wang Zimu to have a drink with him in the study of the outer courtyard.

There is no need to mention the persuasion and temptation during the period, Wang Zixian also called his uncle a few times sincerely, which finally made Yang Shangshu's expression slightly pale.When the wine was slightly drunk, he couldn't help looking at the calm young man in front of him, and sighed: "Zixian, for a new son-in-law like you, I don't know how many people are secretly watching. Alas, it's also the old man who has no destiny for you." , I have no chance to hear you call father-in-law. However, you should not miss a real 'uncle'."

"Uncle, how can there be any distinction between truth and truth?" The prince raised his glass and smiled.He still remembered that Yang Shangshu should have a sister and a sister: the younger sister is Concubine Yang of the late emperor, the mother of Huai Wang Li Hua and Princess Anxing; the older sister married into the Pei family of Hedong, and in terms of the age of the children, they should at least be similar to Princess Anxing .However, since he is sincerely a matchmaker and claims to be "uncle", then he can only be an old girl from the Pei family like Yang Ba Niang.Even if their own plan failed, they thought of a new marriage candidate in the blink of an eye—as expected, the Yang family's intention to win him over and control him has never changed.

"You're right, but I'm a fool." Yang Shangshu said with a smile, "However, the people who catch sons-in-law on the list of intentions inside and outside Chang'an City are like crucian carp crossing the river. Naturally, I have my own thoughts. It's my own family anyway. People, so why not marry each other? The Langya Wang family and the Hedong Pei family are also very good matches."

"...If it's a good marriage, my son should be grateful to my uncle..." Wang Zixian lowered his eyes, "However, no matter what, we should focus on Ziling's marriage first. As for my son, just let nature take its course." It seems , he should really ponder over how to trouble the Yang family.Maybe it's because they have lived too peacefully these years, they only cared about managing their reputation and attracting contacts, and never encountered any difficulties, so they have the spare time to keep calculating how to control others.How could Yang Shangshu think of him when he couldn't even take care of his own family?

As for his marriage, of course, it can only be decided by himself.

Because of drinking alcohol, Wang Zixian and Wang Zimu stayed at the Hongnong County Mansion that night.Because the two brothers were quite worried about Wang Ziling, they did not go back to another guest house arranged by the Yang family to rest, but spent the night on the couch next to Wang Ziling's bed—it was brotherly love, The servants of the Yang family were deeply moved.After hearing this, Yang Qian smiled coldly.He had heard many stories from Wang Ziling, so of course he would not believe in the friendship between the Wang family brothers.

However, it doesn't matter whether he believes it, nor does it matter whether Yang Shijing and Mrs. Wei believe it.The important thing is that the servants of the Yang family were suffering from not being able to gossip about Yang Shiniang and Wang Erlang, so they talked about Wang Dalang and Wang Sanlang, who are both excellent in character and learning.All of a sudden, people in every remote corner of the Yang family heard about the reputation of filial piety and filial piety of the No. [-] leader of the new branch.

Not to mention how lively the Yang family was in private, but Wang Zimu genuinely felt that sleeping with his elder brother was never a good job.

This night, he was almost in a daze all the time, and he didn't sleep well at all, with nightmares coming and going.In the dream, all sorts of weird scenes rushed towards his face with his teeth and claws outstretched—sometimes it was the king of Xin'an County who was holding him up with a cold face, sometimes it was Princess Changning with a face full of disgust, and sometimes it was the one who drew his sword and smiled extraordinarily. The eldest brother, sometimes the second brother who is insidious and malicious.

When he woke up completely covered in cold sweat, he raised his eyes and saw Wang Zixian standing beside the sleeping Wang Ziling's bed with his clothes on, smiling very meaningfully.He opened his mouth to speak, but Wang Zixian shook his head slightly at him.So, he had no choice but to keep silent, and after a while, he heard Wang Ziling's intermittent ravings: "Mine, it's all mine, it should all be mine...why didn't you die outside earlier..."

"It's a pity that I couldn't do what you wished." Wang Zixian chuckled lightly.

"..." The blood on Wang Zimu's face faded instantly.

Wang Zixian glanced at him, smiled without saying a word, and slowly stretched out his hand to test the temperature of Wang Ziling's forehead.As if awakened by his cool palm, Wang Ziling reluctantly opened his eyes.However, the first thing that fell into his eyes was the most disgusting face.Wang Zimu stood far behind, his face extremely pale.

The weather is still cool today, and falling into the water is indeed extremely easy to catch cold.In order to spend a little longer with the young lady of the Yang family, Wang Ziling pretended not to know how to drink water at all, and he really fell ill.He was drowsy, and he didn't care to look at Wang Zixian and Wang Zimu's expressions, so he said anxiously: "The matter between me and the young lady of the Yang family..."

"Second brother, don't worry." Wang Zixian comforted, "Third brother and I will go back to Shangzhou in the past two days, just to report to grandpa and mother. Presumably, they will definitely make decisions for you." Give Yang Shiniang When hiring, it is best to empty out all the family assets that Xiao Yang has saved.Let him get a chance to get back all the dowry that Dayang's back then.As for how they will live in the future, the daughter-in-law that Wang Ziling has tried to marry will naturally worry about it, so what does it have to do with him?

After hearing his assurance, Wang Ziling felt uneasy, and couldn't help looking at Wang Zimu again.Wang Zimu is no longer toward him, he is also his brother, and has a gentle temperament, so he is naturally more trustworthy.However, this more trustworthy brother has been in a daze, and has never said a word.At this moment, drowsiness hit him one after another, and Wang Ziling had no choice but to fall asleep unwillingly.

Until he left the Yang family, Wang Zimu didn't know how to talk to Wang Zixian.Wang Zixian didn't explain him with words, but just patted him on the shoulder lightly. After making an appointment with him for a day, he set off for Shangzhou from Vine Garden, and rode his horse back to Yankangfang.Wang Zimu stared blankly at his back, and suddenly remembered——

In addition to the warm and sweet emotions in his heart as long as he thinks about it, he still has many worries to be resolved.His family members with misbehavior and even filthy hearts will never be content with a peaceful life.If they don't think of a solution, they will make trouble sooner or later, and even use all means to hurt their elder brother.

Since he bears the blood relationship between Wang Chang and Xiao Yang, since he is their son and brother, he must have the responsibility to stop them.Otherwise, knowing without speaking, speaking without doing, and doing without stopping, what is the difference between him and those hypocrites?

That night, Wang Zixian went to Prince Pu's mansion again.Li Hui hadn't returned yet, and there was no one in the bedroom, but it seemed a bit more chaotic than before.He stared at the remnant chess game in the corner and the scattered chess pieces, and never looked away for a long time.

When he came back to his senses and looked at Zhang Fu's mother, the old Fu's mother didn't explain why she didn't let someone clean up the chess game, but just retreated silently with the little maids.Before going out, two or three little maids couldn't help looking back at him curiously several times, but he was once again immersed in his thoughts and didn't notice it.

When Li Hui returned home, the night was already very dark.The bedroom hall is still brightly lit, no different from the past.However, he had a vague intuition—someone was waiting for his return.Just as he was about to speed up his pace instinctively, those chaotic emotions that he forcibly suppressed in the corner suddenly came out all at once.It was as if someone was asking one after another in his heart: How long do you want to pretend?How long do you want to lie to yourself?

The hesitation and hesitation made him stop involuntarily, and stood in front of the door.At this time, another voice sounded: Knowing that this matter cannot be done, you must not do it lightly!This kind of thing is like conspiracy, once someone finds out, it will be your doom!Since one person has already fallen into the maze, how can the other person also fall into it? !Violation of ethics is second, and harm and danger are the first!Have you ever thought about how shocked and disappointed your parents and elder brothers would be if they found out? !Have you ever thought about how difficult it will be for you to spend this life together in the future? !

While struggling in my heart, the door suddenly opened.Li Hui couldn't help but look up, just in time to smile at Prince Yan's handsome face.How similar is the expression on this familiar face to the expression of Wang Zimu he saw under the peach tree that day?How turbulent and intense is the affection in those eyes as deep as the night sky?It seemed as if he only needed to relax his mind a little, and he could be completely submerged in it.

Why had he never looked at it carefully before?Why had he never paid attention to it seriously before?Is it really a blinding leaf?Or maybe it's because of being in the game?

If he could detect it earlier and extinguish those affections earlier, wouldn't he have to face the current embarrassing situation?Will they always be life and death friends?Even if we live and die together, sleep together in life, and share the same coffin in death, is it just brotherhood and friendship?The sympathy between them will only become a good story, and it is definitely not a gossip in the streets, and it is definitely not an object of ridicule in wild history and anecdotes?

"Xuan Qi?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Wang Zixian softly called his name, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and led him into the hall.

Li Hui wanted to break free, but after seeing his dimmed pupils, he couldn't help feeling soft.So, after his body stiffened for a moment, he had no choice but to let him go.

But Wang Zixian didn't make any progress, he just pushed him onto the couch and sat down, pointing at the broken chess piece in the corner with a smile: "What? If you can't solve the Zhenlong game, you just use the chess pieces to vent your anger? Xuan Qi, this is not like you. Why don't you restore this Zhenlong game, and let's think about it together?" He could naturally see the struggle and suffering in his eyes, and it's really unwise to challenge him at this time, and it's obviously effective to show weakness, just like He expected.

"...I'm tired tonight and don't want to play chess." Li Hui changed the subject, "Why don't you tell me about the night banquet in the Yang Mansion?"

"Night banquet?" Wang Zixian raised the corners of his lips, "It's called a gathering of relatives, but it's actually just seeing each other. Yang Shangshu intends to make me their new son-in-law, so that it will be easier to control me to act for them in the future. He beat me really well." It's a good plan, but it's just wishful thinking."

"You can't marry a girl from the Yang family." Li Hui said absent-mindedly, "You deserve a better girl."

"Oh?" Wang Zixian stared at him quietly, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, "In your eyes, what kind of bride should I marry?"

"...Only the best woman in the world can be worthy of you as a wife." In his eyes, Li Hui felt disappointment and coercion for the first time.And he also found a slight bitterness in his heart.Even if it is small, it is enough to make people feel mixed and complicated when savoring it carefully.

"No matter how many good women there are in this world, it has nothing to do with me." Wang Zixian said flatly.

Afterwards, the two of them didn't continue talking, they just washed silently with each other's thoughts, and then fell asleep together.
