Hearing this, Xia Houyi couldn't help but wonder whether she really fell or pretended to fall. His expression immediately turned cold and he reminded: "Don't forget our agreement, we agreed not to interfere with each other."
"That's right, we have an agreement." Xia Houshu nodded to himself, but then said, "If you don't tell me, I will go find out sooner or later."
"That's it for today. Don't mess around anymore. Why bother hurting others and yourself?" Xia Houyi's face turned even more ugly.
"Am I kidding?" Xia Houshu looked stunned. She thought she heard wrongly, turned around and looked at Xia Houyi in disbelief, and said angrily, "Second brother, you have to say this clearly!"
"Is this the news you heard from Jieying again today?" Xia Houyi looked at his sister, with a little helplessness and irritability in his eyes, and then said, "I know that Jieying is on good terms with Yunxi in your yard, so even if
They are passing on information about my whereabouts in private, and I have always turned a blind eye. Now it seems that my yard is leaking like a sieve. It seems that it needs to be renovated."
"So what?" Xia Houshu didn't deny it and looked at his brother provocatively, "If I hadn't learned about you in advance, how would I have known where you were going?"
Xia Houyi said: "Now that you know where I have gone, what should you do?"
Xia Houshu choked and said unconvinced: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell my mother?"
"It's up to you." Xia Houyi sat down and made a sign of please, and then took the time to arrange his clothes that were not messy. "If mother asks you later how you know, how should you answer?"
"You..." Xia Houshu was at a loss for words. He told his mother that it was just a casual comment. How could she dare to actually file a complaint? It was hard for her to say that she also visited a brothel, which was why she broke up her brother's "good deeds".
"? If she is really that stupid, I'm afraid she will be scolded the worst in the end.
"Why did you go to Prince Ling for no reason?" Xia Houyi finally got back to the topic, with a hint of blame in his words, "He has a special status, and you are not afraid of being burned if your identity is revealed."
The topic came back again, and Xia Houshu rolled his eyes.
It was Xia Houyi who was obviously the best friend of Yu Wen Ke. She followed him because she was worried that he would be in cahoots with Yu Wen Ke. How could it be her own fault? Was it because she was afraid that she would catch his pigtails?
The more Xia Houshu thought about it, the angrier he became. He did not show any weakness and said angrily: "You are deliberately using what happened last time to get estranged from me these days, so you are hanging out with that ghost Yu Wenke, right? But what kind of person is he, Yu Wenke?"
You said I was fooling around, but you didn’t know how to avoid suspicion!"
Xia Houyi laughed angrily at her and asked, "Tell me, what kind of person is Yu Wenke?"
Xia Houshu was stunned for a moment before realizing that he actually didn't seem to know much about Yuwen Ke except the rumors that he was idle and addicted to women. The reason why he rejected this person so much was just because of his identity and the rumors from the outside world. However,
Since there are such rumors in Beijing, they must not be groundless. And at today's banquet, although he did not speak as loudly as Yao Jihui and others, he did not show any disgust.
From a certain perspective, not objecting is also a kind of connivance.
Xia Houshu now completely stood on the commanding heights of morality, and began to preach: "Second brother, a long distance can tell a horse's power, and time can tell a person's heart. How long have you known him, and how much do you know about him? Do you dare to say that he
Isn’t it because I have some agenda to befriend you?”
"Then what does he want from me?" Xia Houyi continued to ask.
Xia Houshu couldn't help but frowned and said: "What you are asking is really strange. Have you been fed some kind of ecstasy soup, or are you deliberately testing me? Don't you know what he is trying to do?"
Before Xia Houyi could answer, she added: "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were only three vassal kings with different surnames out of the ten. Everyone in the civil and military dynasties knew that the emperor wanted to reduce the vassal vassal. He, Yu Wenke, had lived with me in Beijing for more than ten years.
The Xiahou family has nothing in common, so approaching you at this time is a clear attempt to win over our father!"
If she really thinks that she is a woman who was raised in a boudoir and does not understand the direction of government affairs, then is it for nothing that she goes to Muchunyuan every now and then to watch the staff show off their skills?
After hearing this, Xia Houyi still just smiled and said lightly, "Shu'er, you are very smart, but you are still too reckless. Some things may not be true as you see them."
After speaking, he thought for a while and reminded: "That's it for now. Don't mention it in front of your father and mother again. Go back and have a good rest."
Xia Houshu admitted that she was more suspicious and acted recklessly today, but she would never admit Xia Houyi's unilateral accusation. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she continued to retort relentlessly: "Yu Wenke is the hostage of the King of Tombs in Beijing.
, His identity is so special, and his every move is under the surveillance of others. I think that his indulgence in Hualiu Wine Lane all day long is just an act of self-destruction, and his purpose is to hide his eyes from the world."
"Is this the basis for your judgment?" Xia Houyi's tone was rather regretful.
"I know you must have said that I was just imagining things again, but this time I trust my intuition." Xia Houshu refused to admit defeat and analyzed him seriously, "If you think about it carefully, Prince Ling was brave and good at fighting when he was young, and he dominated the country.
Even when the late emperor was there, he wanted to give him three points and marry a princess in the hope of everlasting friendship. But now he is addicted to wine and sex, does not care about government affairs, and even doesn't bother to train in the army himself. People say that he is because of Zhaoyun Chang
This is how the princess became a monk, but if he was sincere compared to Princess Yunchang, why not dismiss all the concubines in the backyard? And Yuwen Ke, people outside said that he lacked the discipline of his elders since he was a child, but he has not always followed
Do the princes in the palace study and practice martial arts together? When the princes grow up, they either ascend the throne and become emperors to rule the world; or they are entrusted with the title of kings to protect one area. They are all dazzling figures who have left their names in history. He learns from such people
, where is the lack of discipline? The strangest thing is that the behavior of father and son is exactly the same, isn't it obvious? "
Xia Houyi originally didn't really want to compete with his sister for being ugly, but when he heard this, he couldn't let her continue talking nonsense, so he quickly stopped her and said: "Okay, I know you are worried about me, afraid of me
It has caused trouble for the Xiahou family, but I have my own sense of discretion in doing things. You should stop saying these nonsense in the future, or you will cause trouble with your tongue."
However, Xia Houshu did not understand his brother's intentions. He only wanted to clarify the matter, so he said loudly and without hesitation: "There are so many royal relatives and nobles in the capital, except for Yao Jihui, Liang Zhongping and the Shen brothers who are so unlearned and incompetent.
Most of the people who follow the trend of the people avoid him, why does he insist on making friends with you? Or not because our father holds the military power of the western suburbs camp! "
"Even so, so what?" Xia Houyi interrupted her and simply gave her some reassurance, "There are many royal relatives and nobles in the capital who have deep friendship with him, and I am just one of them. In the eyes of outsiders,
, Aren’t I also a person who doesn’t want to make progress? And you are wrong about this matter. It was not him, Yu Wenke, who came to approach me, but I took the initiative to approach him. According to your inference, doesn’t it mean that my purpose is impure? "
Was it Xia Houyi who took the initiative to approach Yu Wenke?
Xia Houshu was stunned, and after a long while he said with great sadness: "My silly brother, I think you are getting more and more confused!"
It’s true that those in authority are blind to the beholder. Xia Houyi is usually as shrewd as anything, but when he is persistent, he is really hopeless. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. How can he cause trouble for himself?
Xia Houshu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to knock his head open to see what was going on inside.
Xia Houyi didn't care about his sister's rage, and he didn't intend to explain too much. He just said: "Shur, when something happens, don't just rely on your eyes, but also use your brain to think."
Doesn't this call her brainless?
When Xia Houshu heard this, he became even more angry. He pointed at Xia Houyi and said angrily: "Xia Houyi, don't be too self-righteous! If father and mother find out about this, who can't bear it and walk away with it?"
After saying this, Xia Houshu was particularly upset and added: "Yu Wenke is definitely not a kind person. Sooner or later, something will happen to you if you interact with him!"
"What nonsense are you talking about here again?"
Xia Houyuan's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Xia Houshu stuck out his tongue and was so angry that he even forgot to use the back door.
She glanced at Xia Houyi secretly, but saw that he was gloating about his misfortune, so she made a face and threatened him. Unexpectedly, she was seen by Xia Houyuan who was walking up to them again, so she had to hang her head and listen to her father's questioning.
Xia Houyuan looked Xia Houshu's clothes up and down, frowned and said: "Look at you, you are dressed in a nondescript manner, how decent you are!"
Xia Houshu quickly raised his head and smiled at his father, revealing two shallow dimples, and said with an innocent face: "Father, the second brother said he would take his daughter out for a walk. The daughter remembered her father's teachings not to show her face, so she made this move.
, I hope my father will never blame me!"
Xia Houyuan would not be easily deceived by her, and said, "Then why did you start drinking in broad daylight?"
Xia Houshu had no choice but to look at Xia Houyi, but Xia Houyi didn't even look at her.
"Father, I was wrong."
Not only Xia Houyuan was surprised, Xia Houyi also frowned and looked at her.
The speed at which he admitted his mistake was simply unprepared.
Xia Houyuan was brave, good at fighting, and selfless throughout his life, but he didn't have so many principles to talk about when it came to his wife and daughter. But as the head of the family, he couldn't let his children do whatever they wanted.
He looked at both his children and scolded him with a straight face: "Don't think that I don't know what you two brothers and sisters are doing all day long. You are still a young child who wants to fool me. Do you really think that I am an old fool? My father asked you to read it well.
The history books are not for you to discuss the government affairs in private, so you can talk nonsense here! Be careful that diseases come from your mouth, and disasters come from your mouth!"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Xia Houshu, and he said: "Especially you, Shu'er, your father often taught you to be cautious in your words and deeds, and to speak with a beautiful heart, but you can't stop talking nonsense.
Bad habit. If what you just said reaches the ears of someone who cares, I'm afraid it will cause another disaster!"
"What the father taught me was that my daughter knew she was wrong." Xia Houshu continued to admit his mistake. It is a taboo in the family to criticize others. If it weren't for Yu Wenke, she would not have broken the taboo by speaking out so bluntly today.
She glanced at Xia Houyi secretly again.
"You're just saying this, when have you ever seriously listened to your father's words?" Xia Houyuan looked helpless. He knew his daughter's temperament very well, but he had only had such a daughter in his life, and he couldn't bear it.
Punishment. He pondered for a moment, then gave up and told Xia Houyi: "Yier, you are the elder brother. You should take good care of your sister. Don't lead her around all day long and cause trouble."
"Father, please rest assured. My son will definitely take good care of Shu'er and prevent her from getting into trouble." After saying this, Xia Houyi deliberately cast a victorious look at Xia Houshu.
Xia Hou gave him a relieved look and warned him not to get carried away.
Xia Houyuan looked at them again, and when his eyes came to rest on Xia Houshu's clothes again, his brows knitted together, and he said with great disgust: "Hurry up and change your clothes, what do you look like! Let your mother see it.
I have to talk about you!"
Then he turned to Xia Houyi and said, "Yier, come with me to the study."
