Xue Yunzhou has never been so diligent and conscientious since he traveled. He has been checking his property for several days. Although the gold, silver and jade objects are not adulterated, there are many similar problems in the accounts of another shop, the most obvious of which is that there are large The whereabouts of the pen and silver are unknown.

He didn't think much about it last time, and he ran to the silk shop to ask for responsibility in a moment of anger, but he didn't expect that there were more doubts in it, and when he thought about the insidiousness and cunning of Daddy Cheap, he felt that there might be something ulterior in it secret.

This time he restrained himself first, fearing that he would make cheap father suspicious, so he just pretended not to know, and secretly sent someone to observe quietly near the shop.

Shopkeeper Li was frightened by him, and immediately ran to the Hou Mansion to inform Xue Chong.

Xue Chong was very surprised when he heard that his son cared about the business of the shop, but he was not shopkeeper Li after all, and he thought he knew his son very well, so he was very calm in his heart, he just nodded and said indifferently: "I know. .”

After Shopkeeper Li left, Xue Chong called his confidant and asked him to pay attention to the matter, saying: "Report immediately if there is any movement."

His confidant left under his orders, and after several days of calm, Xue Chong heard that Xue Yunzhou did not continue to investigate, he was completely relieved, and secretly said: It must be just a coincidence.

Xue Yunzhou nested in the palace for several days, guessing that the cheap father should relax his vigilance, so he poked his head out quietly like a turtle, but he still didn't dare to be careless, so he decided to put the matter aside for a while and visit Kang first. Shi.

Just as Yu Qing was called to prepare the carriage, He Yuan walked in.

Xue Yunzhou: "..."

He Yuan looked at the gifts prepared on the table and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go and see my mother." Xue Yunzhou directly omitted the greetings.

Recently, He Yuan has been haunted by ghosts, and he has to come over from time to time to express his concern, but he has gradually gotten used to it.

He Yuan flipped through the things on the table, and said, "I'll accompany you, and let Manager He prepare some more gifts."

Xue Yunzhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, the prince is busy with people, so I won't bother the prince with these trivial matters."

"It should." After He Yuan finished speaking, he turned his head and ordered.

Xue Yunzhou had no choice but to obey obediently.

Recently, he didn't know this person more and more, and he always felt that he was too different from the tyrannical and lustful regent in the legend.

Sitting on the carriage, Xue Yunzhou glanced at He Yuan, thinking: I haven't heard of anyone's skinning recently, and I don't know why he should be afraid.And from my own observations, this person is basically abstinent, and I can get anxious with anyone who says the regent is lustful.But if his abstinence is really because he is not good at that aspect, it is indeed quite pitiful...

Seeing the slight sympathy on his face, He Yuan felt baffled, frowned, and said, "Sit here, why are you so far away?"

Xue Yunzhou hastily rubbed against him.

The carriage soon arrived at Kang's place and stopped at the entrance of the alley.

As soon as Xue Yunzhou entered the yard, he saw the pig butcher walking into the house with the ear of the scholar-in-law, cursing at the top of his voice: "Damn scholar! My mother told you to stay at home to watch your son! But you ran out to write poems and meet friends! You still want to stay in this house!" No more!"

While struggling, Xiucai defended weakly: "Someone else came here, I am too embarrassed to refuse..."

"Damn! I'm busy going in and out all day, and I'm always worrying inside and out, telling you to be honest for a while and you can't do it! There are so many excuses! You are dead!"

Xue Yunzhou said to He Yuan: "Your Majesty, here are all common people, you have a noble status, how about..."

"It's okay." He Yuan interrupted him, and walked inside first.

Xue Yunzhou choked for a moment, seeing his normal expression, he was surprised again: Is this really the regent who holds great power in the feudal society?Why are you so close to the people!What's wrong? !

Mrs. Kang did not expect He Yuan to come back with Xue Yunzhou, she was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted him, and when she looked at her son again, her eyes were full of surprise.

He Liangcai presented the meeting gift, and pulled Yu Qing out.

Xue Yunzhou looked at He Yuan, and felt that such a big and tall man threw a club in the middle of the room, which made the not-so-high room even shorter.

He Yuan exchanged a few polite words with Kang's, then turned his eyes to Xue Yunzhou's face, seeing him staring at him in a daze, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Xue Yunzhou took two steps forward, and he was almost arm-to-arm with him. His eyes moved up and down, and a strange emotion surged in his heart again.

The one surnamed He is as tall as the second brother, no wonder sometimes when I see his back, I think of the second brother inexplicably.

Seeing his staring eyes, He Yuan raised his hand and flicked on his forehead: "I'm asking you something."

Xue Yunzhou was taken aback by his unusually familiar intimacy: Damn it!Wouldn't it be really possessed by the second brother? !

"This, this... I'll cook!" Xue Yunzhou felt that he was either lovesick or insane, so he quickly dragged Kang to the kitchen, "Mom, what can I do for you?"

The Kang family was pouring tea for He Yuan. She didn't want her son to work at first, but when she thought that the notorious Prince Regent was also here, she simply let her son follow her to the kitchen.

The mother and son closed the door to talk, and Kang asked in a low voice while choosing dishes: "Yunzhou, is the lord treating you well?"

Xue Yunzhou laughed dryly: "Very good."

"to be frank!"

"It's really good!" Xue Yunzhou was afraid that she would worry, so he emphasized again, "The truth! The prince is good to me, and although he is a bit strict, he is not as terrible as the rumors say."

The Kang family was dubious, and looked around him: "Has he ever hit you?"

Xue Yunzhou waved his hands again and again: "No! Nothing at all!"

Kang still doesn't quite believe it, but thinking about the courtesy He Yuan treated her just now, she feels that what her son said is not impossible, and no matter what his character is, at least he should be attentive to her son, otherwise there is no need to come here specially a trip.

Kang thought for a moment, and asked: "So, the prince still loves you very much?"

Xue Yunzhou had a chill: I love you, you ghost!

"Ah...it's quite petting..." If you compare it with those who were whipped.

Seeing that he looked good, Kang felt a little relieved, pushed him and said, "Go out, it's rude to leave the prince outside alone, even if he doesn't blame him, he will have something in his heart."

Xue Yunzhou nodded, and before leaving, he pulled her and asked in a low voice: "Mother, I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"That's about dad..." Seeing her face change slightly, Xue Yunzhou hurriedly explained, "I just want to ask, is the Hou family particularly short of money?"

Kang's expression eased, and he said, "There was no shortage of money in the past, but now I don't know. Why are you asking this?"

"Just curious." Xue Yunzhou thought for a while, and then asked, "Does that mother know that there is a place in the Hou Mansion that spends a lot?"

Kang thought about it for a while, then shook his head: "I've never heard of that."

It has been many years since Mrs. Kang left the Hou's Mansion. Xue Yunzhou didn't expect to find any valuable information, so he was not very disappointed. I went to the yard to pick a few green onions, and just stood up when I heard some movement from the next door.

Xue Yunzhou turned his head and looked over, and saw the pig-killer walking towards him with anxious strides, shouting at the top of his voice, "Yunzhou! Yunzhou!"

It was the first time Xue Yunzhou heard her call so politely, knowing that she was very popular, he guessed that she had something to ask of him.

Sure enough, the butcher ran over and grabbed his arm, and said anxiously with red eyes, "Yunzhou, help me! My son is delirious with a fever. You are a distinguished person, and you must know a doctor with excellent medical skills!" Also please help me, I am afraid that if it is later, my son will..."

Xue Yunzhou was startled. Her son seemed to be only three or four years old. Once such a young child developed a high fever, one carelessness would leave serious sequelae. What's more, in ancient times, medical conditions were much poorer. When such a thing happened, the consequences would be terrible Unbelievable.

"Wait, I'll ask the lord! Nothing will happen!" Xue Yunzhou comforted him, and rushed into the room to find He Yuan.

He Yuan had already heard the news and was about to come out to have a look. As soon as he saw him, he asked, "Do you want to see a doctor?"

"Yes." Xue Yunzhou nodded, and threw the onion in his hand onto the table.

He Yuan said: "The imperial physician is impossible, but there are doctors in the mansion, and their medical skills are not bad." Then he went out and called He Liangcai to his side to give instructions.

He Liangcai was shocked. He has been with He Yuan for more than 20 years, and he has never shown any kindness, let alone these lowly common people. However, he has experienced storms and quickly regained his composure. , hurriedly called one of the guards hiding in the dark, and asked him to go back to the mansion to pick up the doctor.

The butcher didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She was terrified of the regent at first, but now she was anxious about her son's condition and couldn't take care of it for a while.And no matter what the final result was, the extremely tyrannical Prince Regent in the rumors was kind to their family. She was ready to borrow a cart to send her son there, but she didn't expect that the other party would take the doctor directly with an order.

How can this make her ungrateful?

The butcher quickly pulled the scholar out, and the husband and wife knelt down on the ground, thanking He Yuan a thousand times.

Xue Yunzhou saw the tears on the butcher's weather-stained face, and suddenly felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart.He traveled to this inexplicable ancient time, and he always felt that he was hanging in the air, free from the world, and always had a sense of alienation as a bystander, but now he saw the always strong butcher crying like a tearful person , I suddenly felt that I had taken root in this world.

Whether he likes it or not, there are living people around him, with their own emotions, and the country he lives in, although the capital city is relatively safe, is already devastated outside, and it may affect his life at any time .

He is an ancient man now, even though he has the thinking of a modern man, he can no longer separate himself from this world.

Seeing him in a daze, He Yuan rubbed the back of his head: "Go back to the room and wait."

Xue Yunzhou took two steps behind him, touched the back of his head subconsciously, and stared at He Yuan's back with a look of confusion again.

He Yuan couldn't hear the footsteps behind him anymore, so he turned his head to look at him, then walked back and grabbed his wrist, pulling him into the room.

The doctor rushed over quickly, and Kang was worried, so he also went over to have a look, and everyone was relieved when the doctor said "No serious problem" after the inspection.

He Liangcai had a very wink, and he had already given a rough idea of ​​the child's condition, and asked the doctor to bring all the medicines that might be needed, so after the doctor's examination, the butcher quickly fried the medicine on it. , and then asked Xiucai to watch the fire, and walked over to thank He Yuan and Xue Yunzhou again.

Xue Yunzhou looked at the scholar's languid expression, and suddenly couldn't help but want to meddle in his own business. While He Yuan was not paying attention, he squatted down beside the scholar, and said in a low voice: "Do you think that in today's world, it is impossible to get a job if you get a job? do what?"

The scholar glanced at him and remained silent.

Xue Yunzhou asked again: "Are you afraid?"

The scholar's eyes turned red immediately, he nodded, choked up and said, "It's all my fault. If I watch at home, my son will be fine. If something happens to my son, I..." He slapped himself hard on the face. slap in the face.

Xue Yunzhou stopped him: "Forget it, forget it, as long as you know it. I think it's not easy for your mother-in-law. You are a man, and you should take responsibility no matter what. You love your wife and children, don't you?"

The scholar nodded: "I... I won't study anymore..."

Xue Yunzhou made his brain ache with anger: "Hey, I didn't mean that! I just want to remind you that what the family can share should be shared. There is nothing wrong with studying, just don't go too far."

The scholar froze for a moment, then nodded again.

Xue Yunzhou patted him on the shoulder: "I'm going back to eat."

Xiucai hurriedly stood up: "Eat...here!"

"No, you still have to take care of the children, so don't be too polite." Xue Yunzhou thought it was funny. This scholar still knows how to keep guests for dinner, so he has made progress.

Xue Yunzhou and He Yuan went back to Kang's place to eat lunch, and now Kang was somewhat satisfied with He Yuan, and began to chant Amitabha in his heart: no matter whether he reforms his evil ways or just loves Yun Zhou, as long as he can do one more good deed , just stick to it!

Xue Yunzhou was worried that He Yuan was in a hurry to go back, and he had other things on his mind, so he didn't stay here for too long. After eating, he sat for a while and was ready to go back.

He Yuan saw that he was absent-minded in the carriage, so he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xue Yunzhou came back to his senses: "Yes, if the prince has something to do, why not go back to the mansion first?"

"Where are you going?"

"I... I'm going to Zhuangzi."

"I go with you."

"!!!" Xue Yunzhou stared at him incredulously: Has the majestic Regent become so idle? !

With a calm expression, He Yuan pulled him towards him: "Don't sit by the door, it's dangerous."

After Xue Yunzhou told the driver the location, he leaned against him obediently again, but he broke his legs again before sitting for a long time.

"Sit upright."

Xue Yunzhou: "..."

Actually, are you eating my tofu?

The carriage galloped all the way, and soon left the city. It was the autumn harvest season, and people could be seen bending over to work in the golden fields along the road.

Xue Yunzhou felt a little emotional: he knew that the situation at the foot of the Son of Heaven was very different from that of the Emperor Shan Gao, but he did not expect it to be so different. If there were not rumors that the world was in chaos, he would have thought that this country was in a state of crisis. The prosperous age of singing and dancing.

Xue Yunzhou glanced at He Yuan, and really wanted to say something: Brother, as a ruler, what do you think, can I interview you?

Not long after, they rushed to Zhuangzi.

Xue Yunzhou was used to being cheated by cheap fathers, and he was already mentally prepared to see the desolation, but he didn't expect to go there to see that it turned out to be a good harvest.

At the beginning, Housekeeper Chen of the Hou Mansion said that the harvest of this village was very good, but Xue Yunzhou didn't take it to heart. He checked the accounts a few days ago, but he didn't get much money. Now it seems that the key problem is still in the accounts, and he probably got swallowed up by his cheap father again. up.

The steward of Zhuangzi was surnamed Sun. Steward Sun didn't expect them to visit unexpectedly, so he invited them into the house in shock, and hurriedly served tea, saying tremblingly: "Everything in Zhuangzi is simple, and there is no good tea. Prince and princess, please do not take offense."

Xue Yunzhou waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll take a look."

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Guard Sun, Brother Fan and the others are here!"

Steward Sun's face changed slightly, he hurried out, and whispered to the people outside: "Let them go back!"

"Who's here?" Xue Yunzhou's voice sounded behind him.

Steward Sun hurriedly turned his head, bowed and said, "Back to the princess, I have invited some peasants who harvest wheat."

Xue Yunzhou smiled: "Then let them come, you don't have to worry about us."

Steward Sun paused, then bent down again: "Yes."

Xue Yunzhou wanted to see the harvest in the field, so he invited He Yuan to go with him, and after a short walk, he ran into seven or eight peasants who came oncoming.

Xue Yunzhou smiled at them: "Are you the one invited by Manager Sun to cut the wheat?"

There was a man in his forties, with a burly figure, who seemed to have a bit of courage, and he arched his hands at him and said, "Exactly."

Xue Yunzhou felt that he didn't look like a farmer, and was a little surprised in his heart. He guessed that his calm expression was probably because he didn't know his identity. When he was wondering, he suddenly saw the eyes of the man opposite him fall on He Yuan, and his expression changed slightly.

Then, the man folded his fists and knelt down, and said loudly: "Fan Maosheng, a grassroots man, kowtows to the lord!"

He Yuan pursed his lips slightly. He had an impression of this name. This person was originally a general with outstanding achievements, but he suddenly resigned a few years ago. He did not expect to appear here today.

He Yuan was silent for a moment before speaking: "Get up."

The man got up at the same time as the several people kneeling behind him, and their movements were surprisingly consistent.

He Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "I thought that General Fan had already returned to his hometown, but I never thought we would meet here."

General Fan shook his head and sighed: "Originally there was an old mother in the family, and Cao Min was planning to go back to fulfill his filial piety. Unfortunately, his mother died of illness in less than two years. After the filial piety period, Cao Min took his wife and children to the capital."

He Yuan nodded and said nothing more.

Xue Yunzhou didn't expect that there was still a general in front of him, and he wanted to treat him to a cup of tea, but seeing He Yuan's attitude was lukewarm, so he said a few polite words like "disrespect, disrespect".

Fan Maosheng took people to harvest the crops in the field, while Xue Yunzhou and He Yuan circled the field ridge. During this time, Xue Yunzhou accidentally slipped, and He Yuan immediately pulled him back.

Xue Yunzhou suddenly thought: The surname He is not going to be staring at me all the time, is he?

The two of them left in the evening, and Xue Yunzhou lay on the window looking at the beautiful scenery of the setting sun dotting the city wall, once again feeling that he had completely become an ancient person.

Xue Yunzhou missed his second brother like never before, and when he was in a trance, he suddenly heard a guard shouting: "My lord, be careful!"

Almost at the same time, He Yuan rushed over quickly, hugged Xue Yunzhou, and both fell into the carriage.
