Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters parted ways five

"My father-in-law is at home?"

Li Xun followed the butler of You Mansion.

"The master left the city this morning and didn't come back until dusk. He was a little tired and rested early."

The housekeeper turned around and said, "Son-in-law, you see, it's already this time, and the old man may have already fallen asleep. Why not, you might as well come back tomorrow."

Li Xun said indifferently: "I'll go when I sleep."

The butler looked at Li Xun. Although the other party's expression was dull, the majesty it exuded made him feel tight. He didn't dare to say anything more and continued to lead the way ahead.

After a while, the housekeeper took Li Xun to the backyard. There was still light in the room and the door was directly open. You could see You Yuanfeng sitting there, reading a book while eating melon seeds.

"Grandmad, the eldest son-in-law is here."

The butler whispered outside the door.

You Yuanfeng turned his head and looked, smiled and nodded at Li Xun, and then asked, "Why are you the only one, your father-in-law?"

The housekeeper rushed to answer: "Grandmaster, the master has already rested."

You Yuanfeng glanced at the butler and said in a low voice: "Then let him have a good rest."

The housekeeper nodded repeatedly, with a noticeable embarrassment on his face.

You Yuanfeng said coldly: "What are you still doing here? Get out of here."

"Yes, great master, I'll get out now, get out now."

The butler turned around and left in a panic look.

Li Xun walked into the room and whispered: "Old man, you don't need to lose your temper."

You Yuanfeng laughed and said, "You guy think I'm doing something for you? You are not familiar with your father-in-law, but I am very familiar with him. His valuation is not that small."

Li Xun nodded and understood a little. Originally, he was a little strange. Although his father-in-law was a little weak, he was very upright and was very good at Li Xun's son-in-law. Even if he was a little dissatisfied with Li Xun, he would not deliberately make him ugly.

It was not that You Mingyuan didn't see him tonight, but that the housekeeper deliberately concealed it. He, a servant, obviously did not dare to do this. Li Xun immediately thought of You Mingyuan's wife An.

The An family was born into a family and had a strong sense of concepts, so she always looked down on Li Xun. After Li Xun and You Min got married, they visited You's house several times, and were treated coldly by An's family. However, as Li Xun was promoted to the Political Affairs Hall and became the prime minister, An's attitude towards Li Xun changed a lot. Of course, this was just because An's family asked for Li Xun.

An found Li Xun several times, hoping that he could get promotion from his nephew. Li Xun neither agreed nor refused at the time, but said that he would do his best to do this matter. Li Xun then asked someone to investigate for a while, and then he realized that several nephews of An were foolish and incompetent, corrupt people. Therefore, Li Xun ignored this matter and slowly dragged it down.

Because of this incident, An's attitude towards Li Xun became cold again.

Li Xun doesn't regret it. He will never want to even have a basic bottom line to please someone.

"There is wine in the cabinet, take it out and let's have a few drinks."

You Yuanfeng pointed to the cabinet beside him and said.

Li Xun took out the wine pot and wine glass from the cabinet, and then sat down opposite You Yuanfeng.

Pour the good wine, Li Xun raised the wine glass and smiled and said, "Old man, I'll give you a glass."

After the two of them had a drink, Li Xun put down his wine glass and remained silent.

You Yuanfeng looked at Li Xun and didn't say anything. After a moment, he said indifferently: "Why, some things are hard to say?"

Li Xun remained silent, and after a moment, he whispered: "Old man, what would you do if you were replaced by me?"

You Yuanfeng sneered: "If it were me, I would continue to play this game. Who would be foolish? As long as you know it in your heart, you should. At the last moment, whether it is a cheat or a robbery, you should get the benefits you deserve, and then get out immediately."

Li Xun said: "With your wisdom, I'm afraid I can't do this."

After hearing Li Xun's words, You Yuanfeng couldn't help laughing: "My experience is richer than yours, but that doesn't mean anything. I'm guarding you, but I can only guard against you for a while. Politics is cruel and ruthless, and it's hard to understand. Who can calculate it clearly?"

Listening to You Yuanfeng's cheerful laughter, Li Xun's originally suppressed mood suddenly let go. He raised his wine glass and said, "No matter when and where, no matter what happens, you are the elder that I, Li Xun, respect the most."

You Yuanfeng smiled and raised his glass to finish drinking.

Afterwards, the two stopped talking about sensitive topics, but instead talked about homework.

Li Xun listened quietly as You Yuanfeng talked there, with a smile on his face.

You Yuanfeng has a very unique personality. As a former prime minister and the actual controller behind the scenes of the You family, he does not have so many twists and turns in his life and work, but instead goes straightforwardly. Often, one sentence makes people shocked and have nothing to say. Such a personality is really rare among the top political leaders.

A straightforward personality does not mean that you have no brains. In fact, You Yuanfeng's political wisdom and vision are not weaker than those of top politicians such as Yang Daosi and Liu Jie. The You clan has actually declined to this day. The clan has fewer and fewer outstanding children. The status in the officialdom is getting worse and worse. With You Mingyuan being expelled from the court, the You family has no one in the officialdom. This is a very dangerous and embarrassing situation for a huge family and a family with politics as the stage.

But now, no one dares to underestimate the You family. It is precisely because of You Yuanfeng that at least no one dares to touch the You family easily when he was alive.

You Yuanfeng talked a lot of nothing to do with Li Xun, the most common thing he talked about was his experience as an official when he was young and his views on some things.

You Yuanfeng picked up the wine glass, Li Xun did reach out and pressed it, and whispered: "Old man, you have already had several cups, don't drink it."

You Yuanfeng nodded, put down his wine glass, and asked, "Boy, what are your plans next?"

Li Xun asked back, "What is the point of teaching me?"

You Yuanfeng rolled his eyes: "I'm asking you."

Li Xun did not hide it and said directly: "Accusing you of illness and resting."

A hint of praise flashed in You Yuanfeng's eyes: "You boy has some political wisdom and means."

"Someone helped me with attention."

"It is also a skill to be able to make smart people use it for themselves."
