Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

Xue Pan and Xie were talking while the others retreated.Xue Pan poured a cup of clear water for Xun. He himself did not have the habit of drinking tea, so there was no tea in the inn.Xie didn't mind, but drank a few cups in succession to relieve the dry feeling in his throat.

"There is a reason for letting Qiuping wait for me here for a few days, and go to Fujian with you. My father sent me to the southern Fujian area to see how the situation here is. I have been in the court for a few years, and I don't know it. It's already twenty, and it's time to leave the capital, unlike the two elder brothers above who hold positions in the court, father asked me to go around Daqing more." Xie thought of father's words This entrustment, let him take a good look at the real situation in Daqing in the past few years.

It should be said that the Daqing Dynasty was absolutely different from the previous Qing Dynasty, and there was no saying that the prince could not leave Beijing without an edict.And unlike some previous dynasties, after the princes came of age, all the princes except the prince would go to the fiefdom.I don't know how the current person is thinking, let the prince and the third prince take care of things in the court, and the three princes who are younger than Xun have all reached the age to enter the court, and they are all in the capital or in the capital. More or less started to work.

Xue Pan was a little puzzled as to why the emperor sent Xunshi out of the capital alone. It was impossible to say that it was because he was not pleasing to the eye, but except for the absurd and famous second prince, everyone else was in the emperor's office. By his side, what was the reason for Xun to leave the capital alone?

"Fifth brother, how about the young princes in the capital, you can rest assured?" Xue Pan was not sure whether to ask Xun directly what he thought of the emperor.

Xie looked at Xue Pan's tentative uncertainty, but smiled. In fact, Pan'er didn't need to be so careful in front of him. He left the capital without any regrets. "You don't have to worry about Min'er's affairs. He is also entering school. His wife is in charge of him every day, and his father is also looking after a few grandchildren. There must be something big wrong. Besides, this It's the emperor's order, so Qiuping is confused."

Xue Pan's eyes flashed, yes, he didn't know that this was the emperor's order, since the Holy Majesty asked his son to go out of Beijing to take a good look at the mountains and rivers of Daqing, there is always his intention. "I'm confused. It's just that when I left home, I was very reluctant to part with my parents, but I also wanted to see more of the outside world. I'm afraid that Xiao Shizi will miss Fifth Brother, but Fifth Brother must not forget to write more Letter to him."

Xie just added a cup of water for himself. It doesn't smell like tea, which is good. The water looks clear at a glance, and it doesn't have any smell. It looks plain at first glance, but it's the only thing that won't be picked on , no one can change its nature.Unlike tea, some people like Longjing, while others prefer Tieguanyin, and they can always be divided into a higher order.

"It's a good thing that Chuping likes clean water. I feel that this thing has no characteristics after a taste, but I get used to it after a long time. It doesn't need to worry too much. Unlike that tea, you need to pay attention to how much water temperature, what utensils to use, and where it is produced. , but also take care of whether it is something of the season. The key is that it is transparent, so there is no need to guess whether it is good or not, and what taboos to pay attention to.”

While Xun Shi was talking, he drank the water in his hand, thinking about Xue Panshicai's unfinished intentions, he himself must not forget to write a letter to his son, let alone his father, and left the capital by himself The relationship with the father cannot be broken, but the goodwill in his heart must be deepened.This person's heart is very strange. Sometimes when you are close, you can see his shortcomings, but if you are too far away, it is easy to forget his faults. It is the best way to maintain a royal relationship.It's a pity that he naturally doesn't like such ambiguous and difficult-to-define feelings, or he treats each other with respect, or treats it as the duty between the monarch and his ministers.

"Between you and me, there is no need to hide and hide like this. You must know that the day you Xue Pan rescued me by the river many years ago, I thought that maybe it was God who ordered me to die. I met you. Although we all know that you may have to be rescued at first, but these years, even though we are separated by two places, it makes me remember those days in Jiangnan more and more. The time there is the most leisurely. Qiuping, as long as you still call me fifth brother for a day, then the one in front of you will not be the fifth prince, but only Xie Shi."

Seeing Xun's sudden statement, Xue Pan's heart was shocked. His feeling was probably not wrong, but he didn't know whether Xun knew it or not. His feelings for him were somewhat abnormal, although whether it was normal or not was up to outsiders. It's just a matter of eyes.However, the total time they spent together did not exceed one month. Based on those letters, can they really be sure who the other party is?

Xie does not seem to be a good candidate for the emperor, he is not good at getting close to others, and he also has the innocence that the royal family should not keep, but being sentimental and ruthless is just a mistake. Today he can admit that he is not the fifth prince, but in the future he will only be the fifth prince. It's his fifth brother, isn't he the untouchable person in the Golden Temple?

Facing this sincere look in Xie Pan's eyes, Xue Pan hesitated for a moment. In fact, he asked himself that he was not a person worthy of being treated like this by Xie. In his view, Xie was a risky investment for him, and he could only win but not lose.In recent years, the development of the court has also developed towards the favorable side. The crown prince's position has begun to be unstable, and the strange thing is that the emperor does not seem to be afraid of others knowing such clues.

Now let the other sons also enter the court, but only sent Xunshi out. I guessed that if it wasn't because of dissatisfaction with Xun, did it mean that among the several princes, Xun is the emperor who is most at ease that.Although the most trusted does not mean the most fancy, but this is the place closest to people's hearts. Being able to stand in that place also has the possibility of having the last laugh.

As for other matters, Xue Pan has no extravagant hopes.Although in the past few years of correspondence, he seemed to be close to Xie, but only he knew his heart best, and he really never expected the two of them to have such a trusting idea of ​​each other all the time.

People's hearts are changeable, and no matter how good a promise is, it can't be worth the change of time.However, at this moment, Xue Pan, in the sincerity of Xie Shi, can't make a hypocritical promise. It's just that everything is too early, but he can't optimistically believe that the future can always be of the same heart.

"Calpin doesn't believe it?" Xun looked at Xue Pan's silence. He knew that he shouldn't talk about these things when the two met, but he thought that in the future, he could have a few years with Xue Pan. Pan gets along with each other and travels all over Daqing together, but they are unwilling to ignore the real problems between them.

Looking at Xue Pan's appearance, Xie knew that he was a little too impatient today, but it was because he met him for the first time, thinking that he would be able to face each other day and night in the future, and he was too happy for a while, so he didn't behave like himself in front of Xue Pan . "It doesn't matter. It's been a few years since I left the capital. If Qiuping is going to study abroad, it's better for us to go together. As for the letter to the emperor, how could I ignore it."

"Fifth Brother..." Xue Pan looked at Xun but didn't know what to say. He knew that maybe a secret feeling had sprouted in Xun Shi's heart before he had time to stop it, and the strange thing was that at this time, he should Choose to avoid, but stay passively.

Wanting to defend himself, they can be regarded as friends, but he knows that this kind of sincerity can only be seen in front of him, and his concept is different from the world, which makes him vaguely feel a kind of need and security feel.And all the thoughts turned into a smile from the heart, "Then let's go on a study tour together."

To say that he naturally likes women or men, he can answer with certainty that he doesn't like either of them.As a human being for three generations, it looks like he is still young, but in fact he is already old, especially when it comes to things like feelings, he has long since given up any expectations. If he was able to make do with it before, he just can't do it now. A ruthless marriage.Whether this kind of rebellious and unfilial thoughts will be criticized by others is very clear to Xue Pan, but he doesn't want to compromise infinitely in this regard.

It can be said that what he wants is even more unrealistic than love, which is changeable. What he wants is trust, which is more rare than feelings.What will happen to me and Xun, and how many difficulties are still there, depends on whether such trust can reach the point of walking with Zi in the same robe and walking with Zi.

It was also a start, but Xun felt physically exhausted. Xue Pan immediately asked him to wash up and eat some food. It is better to take a short rest to nourish his spirit.

Seeing that Xie fell asleep in the guest room, Xue Pan felt that it was just like this, and the future will be long.

Angelica and the others came out with Xue Pan this time, so Xue Pan asked them to find out what new things happened around here, and he was still thinking about writing a book that could record the style and customs of Daqing. .

"Grandpa, I just found out. This is at the East Gate. There is an old couple from Quanzhou. They make excellent noodle noodles. The local people will go there to taste a bowl. You see, today Have dinner there tonight?" As for Huobo or Astragalus, he knew that Xue Pan liked the things in the market, and he could tell from these details what the life of the people was like, so he made this suggestion, but he was rejected. Angelica glared.

Dang Gui thinks that this is not the arrival of Xun, they all know that he is the fifth prince, can they go to such a small stall to eat?Just sit on the wooden bench with Mr. Xi's face, maybe there will be no other business tonight.

I don't know if Xie understood what was going on in Dang Gui's mind, but he just glanced at him gravely, and said to Xue Pan with great interest, "Calpin, why don't you just go to that noodle stall. That's right. I don’t know how the couple from Quanzhou became famous here in Pan Yang, don’t you think it’s interesting?”
