At night, the two brothers, Shen Qingxuan, lay on the bed with candles lit by the bedside, chatting face to face.
Most of them are what Shen Zhen said, talking about anecdotes and strange things in the officialdom, and what kind of friends he has met recently, and what kind of character they are.
Shen Qingxuan listened for a while, then shook his head slightly, knowing that he had only been in the officialdom for a short time and hadn't had time to experience those intrigues, so he was very excited and full of expectations. What will happen next is unknown.
After all, he is his younger brother, after hesitating for a moment, Shen Qingxuan poured cold water on his enthusiasm, and said: You need to be cautious in everything, don't randomly make friends before you can distinguish the other party's camp, even if you do, you should stay away from them. We will definitely be able to make friends in the future, and it will not be too late to treat each other sincerely.
Shen Zhen was stunned for a moment, and although he came back to his senses, he didn't say anything, but he was no longer elated as before, and only nodded in agreement.
Shen Qingxuan knew that what he said was too straightforward, Shen Zhen might not be unaware of these things, but it was just that he couldn't accept it emotionally when he said it so frankly.
Sighing, Shen Qingxuan stretched out his hand to caress his younger brother's head, and said again: "Father is rich and powerful, I know you have nothing to worry about." But think about it, the greater the wealth of the Shen family, the better the target for collusion in the officialdom. You have just entered this field, your qualifications are still young, and you have no roots. If you act carelessly and stand in the wrong camp, it will be difficult to stand up again. At that time, the Shen family's business may not be able to help you, if you don't say it, maybe the family will be ruined!
Shen Qingxuan hesitated for the last sentence, but said it anyway. Shen Zhen's body under the quilt shook.
"Brother, I know." Shen Zhen was silent for a while, then said slowly: "This time I went up the mountain, I just came to say goodbye to you."
This time it was Shen Qingxuan who was taken aback. Shen Zhen looked at him, then lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Because I know this, I asked to be transferred to the county government of Ningyuan County in the south... The paperwork has already come down, and I will set off at the end of the month. This trip is high and the river is long. I don't know why. come back when…”
Shen Qingxuan frowned and thought about where Ningyuan County was. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that Ningyuan County is a small and extremely remote county in the south. , are called Southern barbarians.
Shen Qingxuan's brows loosened after a long time, and said: It's fine to go there, you stay in the capital with your temper, and you won't know if you offend anyone. Go there to sharpen it, and when you come back, my brother will wash the dust for you.
Shen Zhen smiled, stretched out his arms to hook his elder brother's neck, buried his head in, and said in a low voice: "I know you will say that." After a pause, he said again: "Although it is a little bit bitter there, it is a place that has made great achievements. It’s a good place to go. Don’t worry about it, my brother, I can’t bring down the bandits, and my father has a business there, so I don’t have to worry about food and clothing... I’ll be back in ten years at the most.”
Shen Qingxuan was silent and nodded.
It is the first time to part, and it is the two brothers who grew up with each other since childhood. Even though years have passed and the situation is very different, the bond of blood is thicker than water cannot be erased by anything. Both are sad.
I don't know how long it took before Shen Zhen said: "Brother, I know you are not in good health. But you have to promise, at least wait for me to come back."
Shen Qingxuan was taken aback for another moment, and couldn't help feeling sour after awakening, and quickly nodded in response: I will wait for you to come back. Don't worry, I haven't seen you start a family and set up a business, and provoke the Shen family's glorious lintel to continue the burden of incense, how can I let go and leave.
Only then did Shen Zhen laugh, "When I come back, I will marry a wife and have children. I will give birth to two children, and I will hold one for you."
Shen Qingxuan still nodded, but thought in his heart that he might not be able to marry a wife and have children. It's just that at the same time as this idea appeared in his mind, Yi Mo's face suddenly appeared, and he was so horrified that he quickly suppressed these impetuous thoughts together. Don't dare to think anymore.
The two brothers talked a lot more affectionately, and Shen Qingxuan hesitated for a while, whether to tell him the things he could speak aloud, together with the fact that he knew the big snake, the younger brother was worried, and he was worried when he went out. I don't know whether I am dead or alive.
After thinking about it, I gave up again.
Although he can make a sound now, he doesn't know how long this situation can last, and what accidents will happen in the future. He has already experienced the ups and downs of his life, so why let his relatives worry about it before the final result is determined.
What's more, the future between him and Yi Mo is very confusing. No one can promise anyone.
Furthermore, promises themselves are hollow. Who would believe it
In the second half of the night, Shen Zhen was already sound asleep, her brows and eyes were docile and snuggled up to his side, just like when she was a child, she was obedient and sensible in front of her elder brother.
Shen Qingxuan stroked his eyebrows, staring at him in rapt attention. Since childhood, some people said that they were brothers, and the most similar features were these eyebrows and eyes.
The least resemblance is the pair of eyebrows and eyes.
When Shen Zhen was still full of vigor and innocent eyes, he already had a pair of gloomy and tired eyes.
Shen Qingxuan sighed silently, tucked in the quilts of the two of them, and gradually fell asleep in a daze.
The next few days were busy, because Shen Zhen had to rush to his post, the whole family was in a hurry, and even Shen Qingxuan couldn't refuse, so he also went down the mountain.
There was not enough manpower, so Shen Qingxuan sent his servants to help, but he couldn't help much by himself, so he sat quietly in the corner in the shadows.
Shen Zhen was busy saying goodbye to his friends, going in and out of restaurants and restaurants, and couldn't rest when he got home. He was dragged by Master Shen to say goodbye to his elders and relatives one by one.
The troubled Shen Zhen found time to come to Shen Qingxuan to complain, saying that he did not expect to be so tired after going out. Shen Qingxuan comforted him, then pushed him to those banquets.
Soon, after everything was settled, Shen Zhen was on the road.
Shen Qingxuan also returned to the mountains to live his quiet days. Count the sunrise and sunset and listen to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.
After Yi Mo left the hot spring, she didn't appear again.
I don't know what to do, or maybe, I don't want to see him at all. Every time Shen Qingxuan thought of this, he couldn't help but sneer. So what if I don't see you, I will hide until next year's robbery at most, you still want to come to see me? !
Thinking again, who is Yi Mo, who needs to hide from him, a helpless paralyzed man? I must be too lazy to come...
Sitting alone in the room, Shen Qingxuan's thoughts were spinning rapidly, but he couldn't come to any conclusions, but the more chaotic his mind became, the more depressed he felt in his heart.
It seemed that something was stuck in his chest, and he wanted to roar hysterically and smash something to relieve it.
Perhaps after a lot of excitement, this loneliness is no longer calm and relaxed.
Sensing that his emotions were in danger, Shen Qingxuan felt even more depressed. I really have nowhere to vent, so I picked up the stacks of books of Fox Ghost Yizhi that I had collected before, and just read a page and couldn't help but want to tear a page, wishing to tear all these demagogic things into pieces That's good.
What kind of fox girl repays favor and gets married, what kind of nymphomaniac feeds and raises flower ghosts so that Qin and Jin are good...all are nonsense.
Doesn't the person who wrote the book know about the "transcendence of monsters"? !
— Shemale different ways.
Shen Qingxuan narrowed his eyes, chewed these four words with gnashing teeth, turned them over and over again, silently read them over and over again, and swallowed them over and over again. The one who was angry didn't know why, and the one who hated was even more lingering.
The words "different routes lead to the same goal" came to my mind by chance, but I didn't dare to think about it any more.
They are a man and a monster, and they are both men, even if they come to the same destination, they "same" do not share the romantic stories in the book.
At most, it is to give people a handle and give them more to talk about after dinner.
Knowing this in his heart, Shen Qingxuan was even more angry for no reason.
"Did those books bother you?"
Shen Qingxuan raised his head abruptly, and saw Yi Mo standing by the candle, half of his face was covered by his long messy hair, and the other half of his face was under the flickering shadow of the candle. Myself, very quiet.
Shen Qingxuan's hands trembled for a moment, and the white snowflakes scattered one after another, spreading all over the floor.
Shen Qingxuan stared fixedly at the broken pages he had created falling to the ground one after another, and the originally chaotic thoughts in his mind seemed to sink to the bottom along with the fallen pieces. Suddenly calm down.
Not in a hurry or panic, neither happy nor worried.
He only slowly raised his face and stared into the quiet eyes of the other party, vaguely feeling that it has been there for thousands of years, as if there was a secret place that no one visited in ancient times.
"Imo."
Shen Qingxuan heard his own voice resounding in this quiet world, and he was asking every word and every word very seriously: "I'm going to the same destination with you, okay?"
How are you
