I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

Naturally, Shen Liufeng had never seen such a battle.

He was only focused on talking to Jun Huailang just now, and for a moment he forgot whose car it was.At this moment, seeing the arrogant father-in-law who turned around in front of him, he suddenly noticed the regulations of this car.

Looking in through the car curtain, he met Xue Yan's eyes.

Although his eyebrows were only slightly furrowed, and his face was expressionless, his eyes were quite cold and majestic.Just one glance made Shen Liufeng tremble with fright, and he put the car curtain back.

"Then we'll see you when we arrive, Huai Lang!" His voice faded away with the sound of horseshoes.

"Hey...?" Jun Huailang was taken aback by this sudden change.

He didn't like riding horses much.If the journey is bumpy like this, when you arrive in Yangzhou in the afternoon, you will definitely have a sore back and a sore back, and it will be difficult to recover for a day or two.

He was doing Tai Chi with Shen Liufeng, but he didn't expect Shen Liufeng to run away suddenly.

He turned his head in surprise, and saw Xue Yan was quietly reading with his head down, without even raising his eyes.

As if he had just noticed Jun Huailang's gaze, Xue Yan raised his head and glanced at the window beside him.

"Going away?" he asked.

It was as if he suddenly realized that Shen Liufeng had gone far.

Jun Huailang nodded.

Seeing Xue Yan rubbing the center of his brows, he said, "Jinbao is not sensible."

The tone was quite sincere, as if he was really blaming Jin Bao for talking too much and driving Shen Liufeng away by bullying others.

-

The car swayed all the way, and the cabin was quiet.Perhaps the smell of sandalwood was too soothing to sleep, and halfway through the journey, Jun Huailang gradually fell asleep.

In the dream, there seemed to be an extremely light sandalwood fragrance, supporting him firmly, even if he was walking on the official road that was not smooth, it made him sleep quite peacefully.

It wasn't until Jin Bao outside the car knocked on the car, saying that he had arrived at the official post in Yangzhou, that Jun Huailang woke up faintly.

It was a little dark in the carriage, someone should have turned off the lights.And he seemed to be resting on something, but when he turned his head slightly, he realized that it was Xue Yan's shoulder.

It turned out that he had slept on his pillow all the way.

Jun Huailang was startled, and quickly sat up.Before he could speak, he heard Xue Yan's somewhat hoarse voice from the dark: "Are you awake?"

Jun Huailang hummed, and when he heard that his voice was a little hoarse, he asked: "...Your lord, did you sleep too?"

Xue Yan in the dark paused, hummed, and didn't say any more.

Jun Huailang smiled shyly: "I'm really sorry, I didn't sit still in my sleep, didn't I numb the prince's shoulder?"

On the other side, Xue Yan, who took advantage of the other party's sleep, watched him dangle in a restless sleep, secretly embraced the other party on his shoulder, and quietly extinguished the candle, said calmly, "It's okay. "

As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch the car curtain.

Jinbao understood, opened the curtain of the car, moved the footstool, and helped the two of them out of the car.

With Mr. Yongning present, the schedule for this inspection was very full.They ate in the posthouse, rested early, and left Yangzhou City early the next morning to go to the surrounding villages and towns.

There was a lot of rain this year, and many villages and towns in the south of the Yangtze River were affected.Houses washed away, rivers overflowing, these small problems will occur more or less.

But Yangzhou is different from other places.

Although the water network in Yangzhou is criss-crossed and there are countless big rivers and small rivers, there is not a single field that has been flooded this year.It is said that the water conservancy in Yangzhou was built by a local official decades ago according to the local terrain of Yangzhou. After that, it only needs to be reinforced every year to ensure that it will not be damaged by floods.

The magistrate of Yangzhou accompanied them all the way and introduced them. Jun Huailang was surprised, so he found a pen and paper, and listened to them all the way.Although the documents sent back to Chang'an from various places are comprehensive, they cannot be so detailed. What's more, when you come here in person, the case is right in front of you, which looks much more intuitive.

After a few days, Jun Huailang took a lot of notes, even Shen Zhifu found out.

"My son actually likes these?" On the way back, he asked Jun Huailang for his notes, read them carefully, and saw that he not only remembered concisely, but also had his own thoughts, the more he read, the brighter his eyes became. , After reading it, I still don't forget to show the note to Yongning Gong. "I never thought that His Royal Highness is so talented!"

Duke Yongning took the note and looked at it, with a slight smile on his usually cold face.

"Huailang has been interested in water conservancy since he was born," he said. "Looking at it now, his years in Jinling have not been in vain."

When Shen Zhifu heard the words, he repeatedly said that he was modest.

Afterwards, Prefect Shen returned the note to Jun Huailang, and exchanged with him about the questions he wrote down.

Jun Huailang answered fluently and even asked him some questions.Gradually, the chat between the two became more heated, and Duke Yongning also spoke from time to time, chatting with them a few words.

And Xue Yan sat quietly on the side. He didn't talk to him, and others didn't dare to disturb him easily.

The carriage drove all the way back to Yangzhou City.

Jun Huailang talked with Shen Zhifu all the way, and he also benefited a lot.After entering the city, looking at the bustling crowd outside the window, he couldn't help asking: "Lord Shen, with so much rain this year, the river will inevitably rise. I wonder if Jinling's dam can hold it back?"

When Governor Shen heard the words, he didn't think too much about it, so he smiled and said, "It's definitely all right. Although Jinling's embankment is not as ingenious as Yangzhou's, it also doesn't have such a complicated and vertical water system. Just talking about the Yangtze River's high tide, even if it rises two times Thirty percent is also preventable."

When Jun Huailang heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

Twenty to thirty percent is too high a ratio for river water.No matter how much rain there is, it is impossible for the river to rise so high.

Therefore, the dam in Jinling is supposed to be fine, there must be something wrong somewhere that caused the breach in the previous life...

He was thinking all the way, and not long after, the carriage stopped.

Jun Huailang looked out the window, and saw that the carriage had stopped by the Slender West Lake.Nearby is a painting boat, which should be the famous music workshop in Yangzhou City.

Jun Huailang has stayed here for a year and knows the local officials quite well.He knew at a glance that this was another round of prefect Shen.

Sure enough, as soon as the car stopped, Shen Zhifu patted Duke Yongning on the shoulder and said, "Grand Duke, you have to eat the whole fish feast by the Slender West Lake when you come to Yangzhou. We have been running around for several days. You don't want to lose face." You can't give it to me."

Mr. Yongning said displeased: "It's always like this. We came to Yangzhou for business, how can we enjoy ourselves here?"

Prefect Shen has long known that the Duke in front of him is a stubborn old man.But the officials accompanying him in the past few days included both Beijing officials and Yangzhou local officials.If they don't have a meal here, the Beijing officials will be overwhelmed by boats and cars, and the magistrates will feel that they have not entertained them well, and feel uneasy, which will add misunderstandings and troubles to both parties.

Therefore, he had already arranged this table meal.The painting boat is transparent and the place is bustling and bustling. You can eat a meal of local specialties openly, and the guests and hosts enjoy themselves, and there will be no suspicion of giving or receiving privately.

Prefect Shen didn't think he was disobedient at all, and coaxed him with a smile, saying: "Just because I've come to Yangzhou for many days, and I'm greedy for this meal of fish, you have the right to accompany me, okay?"

A group of people went to the painting boat in a lively manner.

Xue Yan was naturally surrounded at the front.The surrounding officials chatted lively, but he remained silent and showed no expression on his face.

Everyone knew that he had such an unfathomable personality. Although everyone was talking, they watched his every move with eyes and ears.

Jun Huailang followed behind, and he could see Xue Yan's back from a distance.

He felt a little funny for a moment.

He also knew that the prefect Shen was the most popular in the officialdom because of his long-sleeved skills and sense of propriety.Ordinary officials, big and small, who doesn't like him like this?

But Xue Yan didn't like it.

Somehow, from such a distance, Jun Huailang could feel the impatience in Xue Yan.

But no one else noticed, and they approached him cautiously and tentatively, chatting with him for some reason.When Xue Yan slightly turned his head to one side, Jun Huailang saw his eyebrows and eyes.

There is no expression, but those amber eyes are full of fatigue and impatience, quite like a caged animal.

"Huailang, what are you laughing at?" At this moment, Shen Liufeng suddenly rushed up and patted Jun Huailang on the shoulder.

"Well, what?" Jun Huailang was startled, and turned his head to look at him.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Liufeng said with a smile, looking straight at the direction Jun Huailang had just looked at. "Alone, smiling so softly, what did you see?"

Jun Huailang was taken aback.

He didn't even realize it, he just laughed.

It's just that I looked at Xue Yan more...

But immediately, Jun Huailang came back to his senses, and asked Shen Liufeng, "Why are you here?"

After all, when they went out to patrol the city these few days, Shen Liufeng thought it was troublesome and boring, so he didn't go with them at all.

"You guys are back from inspection, so I'm here!" Shen Liufeng said with a smile. "I heard from my uncle that I'm going to eat fish by the Slender West Lake today, how could I be missing?"

Jun Huailang smiled and nodded, "Of course I can't live without you."

Presumably this family's lively and fun-loving temperament is also inherited from their Shen family.

Shen Liufeng raised his hand quite casually, and put his arm on Jun Huailang's shoulder: "By the way, Huailang, I got a map in the past few days. Tomorrow, my uncle and the others are going to the Yangzhou government office, so you will go with me." Let me go into the mountains together to find out where the miracle doctor is?"

As he said that, he also promised: "Don't worry, you can come back before dark that day."

This is the second time Shen Liufeng has asked him.Jun Huailang only thought about it for a while, thinking that the inspection of the dike and dam was over, and there was no need for him to go with him tomorrow, so he nodded and agreed.

Shen Liufeng happily patted him on the shoulder twice when he heard the words.

"I'll let them feed my two horses tonight!" Shen Liufeng said. "Tomorrow you will ride my horse!"

Jun Huailang smiled and nodded.

A group of people entered the painting boat.

When Xue Yan was crossing the bridge, he glanced sideways and happened to see the two youths following at the end of the line.

A light, wind and moon, clear and tall, looking from a distance, it is as bright as the bright moon in the sky.

The other one had double-hanging eyes, so he didn't look like a good person at first glance.

The young man seemed boneless, but actually climbed onto Jun Huailang's shoulder, hooked his shoulder and talked to him intimately.

And Jun Huailang smiled slightly at him.

Xue Yan's face darkened.

Even the officials around him felt the changing aura around him, and even the official next to him who was carefully flattering him stopped abruptly halfway through his mouth.

For a while, all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

"...Your Highness?" Shen Zhifu hastily stepped forward and said with a smile. "But there is something wrong with this painting boat, or do you have any taboos?"

Xue Yan glanced at him.

That Shen Liufeng just now is the magistrate's nephew, right?

Follow everywhere, eat fish for every meal, really useless, very annoying.

"You don't need to make such a fuss next time." Xue Yan strode in with a sullen face. "This king doesn't like extravagance."

Combined with the Baoguo Temple sandalwood on his body, which is worth a thousand pieces of gold, it doesn't sound convincing.

Shen Zhifu repeatedly said yes, but he knew it in his heart.

Why doesn't this master like extravagance?It must be someone who has no eyesight that made him unhappy and made him look for excuses to make a fuss.
