generation hero

Xiao Shanzhi didn't mention Feng Cong at all just now, which shows his attitude.

Zhou Xianpei was even more worried about Yuan Tang: "Uncle knows you are affectionate, but right under Xiao Shanzhi's nose, you must be more careful. If you have anything to do, leave it to uncle, don't act rashly."

Yuan Tang said: "I know, but I really owe him." So he told Zhou Xianpei that he had exposed Feng Cong.

Zhou Xianpei opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, but he still leaned towards his nephew, comforting Yuantang: "You don't know, don't blame yourself too much. Forget it, as long as he is still in Jiyang Mansion, I will try my best to make up for you. After finishing speaking, he sighed while twisting his beard: "I think that His Royal Highness is very good-looking, and the demeanor of Prince Wenxi back then was also unmatched.

Yuan Tang said, "Thank you, Uncle." He also said, "Received a letter from the Shen family a few days ago, the son of Duke Pengwu will offer his condolences."

The Shen family is prominent, with three dukes enshrined in one family. Duke Pengwu was the supreme commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army back then and had a close relationship with the Yuan family.

Zhou Xianpei nodded, and asked: "Is it the third son of the Duke of the county? This son is also quite talented."

Yuan Tang said: "Yes. I heard that the Shen and Xiao families have been at odds for a long time. Originally, Xiao Geshi lived in his uncle's house, and his nephew planned to invite Shen Langjun to live in Yuan's house. The two have nothing to do with each other. Now that Xiao Geshi lives in Yuan's house, I'm afraid You can't avoid Lord Shen when he comes."

Both Shen Shangshu and Duke Pengwu have passed away. General Yuan has been fighting abroad for the past few years, and his contact with the Shen family has become a little strange. This time the Shen family sent someone here, and the Yuan family will definitely treat each other with all their strength. Xiao Shanzhi suddenly moved into the Yuan family , disrupting Yuantang's arrangement.

Zhou Xianpei frowned slightly, and said: "It doesn't matter, based on what I know about Mr. Shen, he will be able to understand the difficulties of the Yuan family and won't care. Whether it is the Shen family or the Xiao family, you have to be careful. Treat Shen Lang The king is here, you have to be more cautious, don't show bias."

So Xiao Shanzhi lived in Yuan's house.He brought over a hundred of Ji Yang's servants and private soldiers, but not all of them were taken to Yuan's house, and some remained in the county mansion.

Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise the Yuan family would not be able to accommodate so many people.

The courtyard on the south side of the mansion was carved out by Yuantang's revolving door, and Xiao Shanzhi lived alone.

Xiao Shanzhi seemed quite satisfied.

Because Xiao Shanzhi lived in Yuan's house, Zhou Xianpei, the county guard, also had to go to Yuan's house from time to time, and sometimes he had to bring the officials of the county government to accompany him. Hearing that Xiao Shanzhi was a guest at Yuan's house, the rich people from the same village came to visit one after another. .

Five days later, the concubines and servants of the Yuan family who returned from Zerou really had nowhere to settle. Fortunately, Zhou Xianpei lent two other courtyards, and Yuantang's aunt Xin Shi helped take care of them.

Xiao Shanzhi didn't make things difficult for Yuantang and Yuan's family, he just lived in this way, and he didn't need Yuantang to accompany him from time to time. Some wealthy families invited Xiao Shanzhi, and he would gladly go there.

Most of Xiao Shanzhi's servants are young boys and girls, all of them are pretty and smart. They wear silk clothes of the same color and style, and they are more expensive than the children of ordinary rich families in the countryside. Don't talk too much about family affairs, and don't talk too much with Yuan's servants.

Every time Xiao Shanzhi went out, he brought such a group of handsome men and beauties with him, hugging each other, and it became a scene in Jiyang City in recent days.

But in a few days, some families began to imitate, and also put bright clothes on the servants, and let a dozen or so people accompany them when they went out. The phenomenon of traveling in groups has become a common practice.

After a few more days, Ji Yang rushed into Yiqi at the south gate, reached Yuan's mansion, and knocked on the door of Yuan's mansion.

When Yuan Tang received the name card from the concierge, he was drinking tea with Zhou Xianpei and Xiao Shanzhi in the flower hall.

"Mr. Shen is here." Seeing the name post, Zhou Xianpei lifted the corner of his mouth slightly, his shoulders relaxed slightly, his voice was very calm, but there was a subtle pleasure in his eyes.

Xiao Shanzhi smiled for no reason.

Zhou Xianpei said to Yuan Tang: "You send someone to pick up Lord Shen immediately, don't delay, prepare the room, arrange it yourself, don't be sloppy." After speaking, he felt that he was acting too eagerly, and turned his head to look at Xiao Shanzhi , to express the meaning of asking for instructions.

Xiao Shanzhi smiled but said: "I haven't seen Shen Sanlang for a while, and I will reunite with my old friends through Zhou Shijun's territory."

The Xiao family and the Shen family were strangled in court and had almost no contact in private, this is a well-known fact in Da Xia, even if Shen Jingxuan and Xiao Shanzhi knew each other, they might not have any pleasant friendship.

The Shen family was a prime minister and married a princess. They are a first-class wealthy family in Daxia. Compared with it, the Xiao family is still behind. Besides, the Yuan family was supported by the Shen family. On the other hand, the Yuan family also had to show due importance to Shen Jingxuan.

Yuan Tang immediately ordered people to prepare, and Zhou Xianpei also asked people to go home and call several outstanding nephews of the Zhou family to accompany them.

When everyone went out to greet them, Xiao Shanzhi also followed, and asked him to bring dozens of servants of Yuan's family to line up, occupying both sides of the gate with Yuan's family.

Before Xiao Shanzhi came out, he actually changed into a suit of clothes, he lifted his belt slowly, and his ring ring made a slight sound, which made him even more handsome and unrestrained.

Yuan Tang wondered if it was necessary to pick up someone.

After a while, seven or eight people came on horseback, two of them were sent by Yuan Tang to the city gate to pick them up, and one of them was riding a white horse and wearing a plain narrow-sleeved riding uniform. He saw Yuan Tang standing in front of the gate, He got off his horse and cupped his hands towards Yuantang.

Seeing Shen Jingxuan, Yuantang couldn't help glancing at Xiao Shanzhi out of the corner of his eyes, and finally understood why this man was nervous, nine out of ten he was afraid of being compared to others.

This Shen Jingxuan, the third son of Shen, is indeed very outstanding. Even if he is wearing simple riding clothes, his clothes are slightly dusty, and people can't look away just standing in front of them. First of all, he is very handsome, with a face like jade. , The eyes are clear and the eyes are starry, and the time between looking forward is as cold and shining, which makes people unforgettable.

If Xiao Shanzhi, who is specially dressed, can score seven points in appearance, then Shen Jingxuan, who is busy but calm and elegant, can score at least nine points.

If Shen Jingxuan also dressed neatly and a little bit better, then Xiao Shanzhi would have nothing to do with it.

"Shen Jingxuan from the Shen family in Xiafenglin came to express condolences, and wish you the best of luck for Mr. Xiaolang."

Shen Jingxuan talked to Yuan Tang politely, but he didn't even look at Xiao Shan.

Both of them were guests, so Yuan Tang said to Shen Jingxuan, "This is Xiao Ji's business."

Shen Jingxuan just nodded.The Shen family used to be a dignitary, but now it is still a first-class family with high prestige. It has the capital to speak in front of ordinary court officials. Xiao Shanzhi is not an ordinary official, but also from a family. The attitude is also justifiable.

Xiao Shanzhi's face changed a few times, and he snorted coldly.

Shen Jingxuan first went to pay respects to General Yuan's spirit, and then met Yuan's elders, and then went to the main room to meet Yuan Tang.Shen Jingxuan was five years older than Yuan Tang, and had already been crowned, so it was enough for Yuan Tang to call him third brother.

Xiao Shanzhi sneered and said: "The Shen family and the Yuan family have known each other for many years, why did it take so many years for Shen Xiandi to arrive at Ji Yang?"

Shen Jingxuan didn't answer Xiao Shanzhi, but said to Yuan Tang seriously: "Suddenly heard that General Yuan died on the battlefield, my uncle and uncle were in great pain, but my grandmother was dying of illness and needed someone to take care of her, and the two elders were also sick for a long time, unable to I'm here, so let Jingxuan express my condolences. Jingxuan is traveling abroad to study, and as soon as he gets news from home, he will come as soon as possible."

There were differences in family background, and with the status of the Shen family, it was considered a great deal of face for the Yuan family to send a side branch of the family. Shen Jingxuan was a direct descendant of the Shen family, and he could come here in person because he valued the friendship between the two families.

Xiao Shanzhi snorted again when he heard the words.

When Yuantang arranged a residence for Shen Jingxuan, Xiao Shanzhi suddenly said: "I also live in Yuan's house, so it is better for Shen Xiandi to live with me. First, I see that Yuan's mansion is limited, and Yuan Xiaolang doesn't need to bother to clean it up. Good to catch up with brother Shen Xian."

Shen Jingxuan finally looked at him straight in the eye, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Mr. Xiao, why did you come to Jiyang?"

Xiao Shanzhi seemed to be waiting for Shen Jingxuan to ask, and said: "I was ordered by the imperial court to come here to pay tribute to General Yuan. Sometimes Xiao really envied Shen Xiandi's study tours everywhere, and he could transcend the mundane world. Xiao has this heart but Not so lucky, always entangled in mundane things."

There is a sense of sarcasm inside and outside the words.

Shen Jingxuan glanced at Xiao Shanzhi's servants, and said: "Then what's the matter, are they all here with you for the funeral at Yuan's house?" Before Xiao Shanzhi could speak, Shen Jingxuan continued: "I'm on the way here I heard folks talk about Xiao Ji’s affairs, you took your servants on horseback, and flaunted them in the countryside. If you don’t know, you might think you’re here for fun. His Majesty has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, so you’re going to do things like this?”

"Whatever I do, your Shen family can't control it even if they want to." Xiao Shanzhi said proudly.

Shen Jingxuan's face was slightly cold, and he was very contemptuous of Xiao Shanzhi: "You bring these boy servants to Yuan's house, make a big noise and occupy the mansion. General Yuan has not been buried yet, so you are not afraid of disturbing the peace of the deceased."

Shen Jingxuan said what was in Yuan Tang's heart. He also could not understand Xiao Shan's various actions, but he was not as good as others. Once General Yuan left, the Yuan family had no support, so even if he was angry, he had to endure it. He came to this world for a while, Yuan Tang has gradually understood the position he is in, and he can't do everything he wants.

Xiao Shanzhi showed sarcasm, pulled Yuan Tang, and said, "Ask the Yuan family, do you think I'm overpowering, do you think I've disturbed the peace of their house? Tell him, do they welcome me?"

Yuan Tang could see that Xiao Shanzhi's battles were for no other reason than for Shen Jingxuan and the Shen family. Because of the relationship between the Yuan family and the Shen family, the Yuan family could not resist now. He wanted to attack the Yuan family and attack the Shen family. face.

The Yuan family is just cannon fodder in his eyes.

Yuan Tang's clothes were messed up by Xiao Shanzhi, and he almost wanted to spit on Xiao Shan's face. The patriarch was so humiliated, all the members of the Yuan clan present changed their colors slightly, and Yuan De put one hand on the handle of the knife.

Zhou Xianpei hurriedly stood in front of Yuan Tang, Shen Jingxuan was faster than him, and opened Xiao Shanzhi's hand with a "slap", the sound was clear and loud, and everyone was shocked.

Xiao Shanzhi hissed in pain: "How dare you hit someone!"

"You were the one who beat you, why bully a child. You are so domineering and rude, your Xiao family style is really good."

As a rising star, Xiao Shanzhi especially hates others saying that the Xiao family is inferior to the Shen family, and now Shen Jingxuan said it, he sneered: "Our Xiao family is different from your Shen family, it's just..."

"Then naturally I can't live with you." Shen Jingxuan cut off Xiao Shanzhi's words.

"what!"

Shen Jingxuan raised his chin, his eyes were like a pool of cold spring water, according to Xiao Shanzhi's changing face, he said: "Your family is very different from mine, so naturally I can't live with you. It is difficult to wash away in the dirty stream, Jing Xuan is so clean, thank you Xiao for the invitation."

Xiao Shanzhi was blatantly despised for a while, his face was full of blue, red, black and white.

Shen Jingxuan said to Yuan Tang: "You don't need to trouble too much. Erlang and I hit it off right away. If Erlang doesn't mind, share half of the bed with me. You and I can sleep on our feet. It's also a pleasure."

Yuan Tang hurriedly said, "It's an honor."

Zhou Xianpei repeatedly reminded Yuan Tang that the hatchback should not offend, but now Xiao Shanzhi offended Yuan Tang.Xiao Shanzhi looked down on the Yuan family so much, the Yuan family couldn't invite him away, and they couldn't do anything to him, but as the head of the family, Yuan Tang should still show his due attitude.

He bowed to Xiao Shanzhi, turned around and led the way for Shen Jingxuan.

At night, Shen Jingxuan lived in Yuan Tang's room. After the events of the day, Yuan Tang had a good impression of this Mr. Shen. , but he is also very sharp when he is angry with people. He looks cold on the surface, but in fact he is much more straightforward than Xiao Shanzhi's hypocritical attitude.

Shen Jingxuan asked Yuan Tang about the current situation of the Yuan family, like the elder brother of a family friend.

Yuan Tang sincerely thanked Shen Jingxuan: "After Xiao Ge's incident came to my house, the family was unbearably disturbed. Yuan Tang dared not speak out, and it was third brother who helped me vent my anger."

Shen Jingxuan said: "He is appointed by the imperial court, you are right not to compete with him, I never thought you could be so calm at such a young age."

Yuan Tang smiled wryly. If it was true that he was in his teens, he would never have been able to hold back. Now that he can't, he has to sink. He can somewhat understand the Yuan family's desire for a prominent official position.

Shen Jingxuan said: "Actually, it's not all for helping you. I really want to get closer to you."

Such a handsome young man expressed his closeness and friendliness to him, and he had only met him once. Yuan Tang was a little flattered, so Shen Jingxuan went on to say: "There is something that is inconvenient to discuss in front of others. You and I live in the same room, so it is easier to talk about it. I heard The Yuan family escorted the heir of the crown prince to Jiyang, is there such a thing?"

The two young servants stayed with the night outside and couldn't hear the people inside talking, there was only one lamp left in the room, the fire was drowsy, but Yuan Tang's heart was bright.
