Bastards

Wang Shibaniang held onto the corner of Cui Yu's clothes tightly, looking at this slender and thin man, not a great man, but also tall and tough as a bamboo, as if he could withstand all wind and snow, his eyes were red, and he blinked lightly, There are tears rolling down.

This is her savior...

Since the Xie family's autumn banquet four years ago, she has always had this person in her heart.At that time, she was assassinated, her body couldn't control her body, and she couldn't even call out for help. She was terrified in her heart, and when she was dying of shame and anger, she heard a person's voice.

A man with a clear and gentle voice, like spring breeze, like summer rain, with a few words, all her anxiety was soothed.

He wants to save her.

In order to avoid suspicion, he wants to invite the wives from the inner house, and at the same time guard the door for her, not letting others, especially the outsider, get closer.Even himself, he didn't exceed the rules in the slightest.

How important is a woman's reputation, if he saves her like this once, it is equivalent to saving her for the rest of her life.

Afterwards, she asked who helped her. She didn't know if the elders wanted to take care of her and didn't want her to be sad about it, or the savior hid too deeply to tell others, but she didn't find out.

Later, I gradually heard the names of Cui Yu and Sha San.

But she lived in the inner house and had never seen the two of them, so she couldn't be sure.

Four years have passed, and she is no longer the girl she used to be. She should be married. She has always resisted, and her family is worried about her.In fact, she also knew that she was going to marry after all.She is the eighteenth mother of the Wang family, not some young girl who has no experience in the small family. is clear.

The marriage arranged for her at home was also good. She had been a childhood sweetheart since she was a child, and treated her very well. She couldn't find any faults and had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

The first two years were fine. She was not too old, and her parents were reluctant to part with her. The marriage can be postponed. Now that the years have passed and the marriage is on the agenda, she is getting anxious and always wants to do something...

This was the only time in her life that she was so willful. Knowing that her fiancé would come to Xiaoding tomorrow, she couldn't help it, quietly changed into men's clothes, and slipped out of the house.

She wants to go there, but she also knows that times have changed and the world has changed. Others may have forgotten to save a girl who doesn't know what she looks like. It is impossible for a girl to sneak back to Chang'an to find this fate.She also didn't want to embarrass her family by running away from marriage irresponsibly, she just...couldn't marry with peace of mind if she didn't do something to vent the depression in her heart.

Before going out, she told herself that this is only one time, and only one indulgence is allowed. After playing enough, when she returns home, she will become an aristocratic daughter of the royal family, Shiba Niang, obediently waiting to get married.Unexpectedly, because she went out alone without bringing anyone with her, she was bullied... Being bullied, there was no way to ask for help, and by chance, she ran into a savior.

When she remembered the voice deep in her memory again, the voice that almost made her soul tremble, she could hardly stand upright, God...God has mercy on her!

Cui Mata... Of course Cui Mata didn't know Wang Shibaniang.Not to mention that on the day of the Autumn Banquet four years ago, he only knew what happened and the result, and he did make some efforts in the middle, but Wang Shibaniang was a little girl in the inner house, and she really didn't show her face.But even if he met him in a hurry that day, he couldn't have had a deep impression of... er, an unimportant girl, not to mention that four years later, the girl has grown up and looks so long... and she is still wearing men's clothes.

He just passed by by chance, and suddenly got into this kind of trouble, a little... a little excited.

Yes, he is never afraid of trouble, is it fun only when there is trouble?And up to now, all the information conveyed by observing the details, and even the feelings raised in my heart, are that helping the girl will bring benefits, but there is no danger at all.

So he didn't listen to the harsh words of the two dandies in front of him, and he didn't pay attention to the emotional state of the girl behind him. He pricked up his ears, and only listened to the whispers of the audience around him.

After all, he is a local, with a lot of knowledge, and in a few moments, the identities of the two young masters in front of him are revealed.

The tall, thin, delicate-featured, and handsome man is Yin Zimo, the second son of the Yin family; the short, fat, dark-skinned one is Rong's eldest son, but he is Rong Yanbin, who was a concubine.Both of them came from the well-known No. [-] family in Chang'an City. This Rong family...according to the analysis of the data collected by Cui Yu before, it is the family that can use Peng Chuanyi's case as a demon.

Rong Yanbin's mother is a bit similar to the story of the concubine Deng of the Peng family. The difference is that after Deng became a concubine, her father became rich and powerful. Rong Yanbin's family has always been very powerful, but she It was the father who had fallen in love with Rong Yanbin, and in order to be with him, he even went so far as to tarnish his reputation, have a private relationship with him, and even secretly entangled with him, so he entered the Rong's house.

This kind of behavior is definitely not suitable for being a regular wife. The Rong family is a small family after all, so if you want to save face, if you die, you can accept it.The Rong family was wronged, and the girl herself was determined to see her, so she couldn't stop her, so she had to admit it.

There is such a noble concubine in the family, which shows how lively the Rong family's back house is.

But what happened today has nothing to do with those things. Cui Yu knew from a casual observation that the two dudes in front of him deliberately made things difficult for the girl behind him.

After the two dandy servants finished their harsh words, the atmosphere reached a climax. When everyone stared at Cui Yu and waited for him to answer whether to hand over to the girl behind him, Cui Yu smiled.

He was already good-looking, with picturesque eyebrows and a bamboo-like temperament, and a red mole between his eyebrows added to his demeanor, and his smile was more like a spring flower blooming after melting ice and snow, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Everyone has said so much, you are frightened and scolded, but you haven't said why you want me to hand over the son behind you."

What he said seemed to give him a reason, and he handed him over.

Wang Shibaniang's hands tightened in fright, and she almost dragged Cui Mata to reel.Cui Yu looked back at her helplessly, and made a gesture of "be quiet and don't be impatient".

Wang Shibaniang's face was blushing, and she lowered her head slowly, revealing a white, tender and smooth neck.

Yang Xuan's eyes were burning from a distance, and he almost tore off the bamboo hat on his head. There is something wrong with this girl, she is not ashamed to drag a man along the street!

Cui Yu had an idea in mind, and was not in a hurry at all. He tilted his head slightly, and spread his hands in distress, "And you have two people, who should I hand over to?"

This sentence immediately caused internal conflicts between the two dandies. The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and your eyes immediately narrowed. There was no need for the servants to shout, and they jumped out to confront each other.

Rong Yanbin: "Of course it's for this young master!" He pointed to Wang Shibaniang, who only showed one head behind Cui Yu, "She stole my recommendation post! It's not an ordinary recommendation post, it was made by King Yue himself Write to me, go to Chang'an to ask for a recommendation from a half-immortal Cui Daoye!"

The surrounding audience exploded with a coax.

"The king of Yue recommends it?"

"Invite the half-immortal master?"

"That's really serious, don't let it go!"

Cui Yu was taken aback for a moment, blinked, and then realized in a daze that this Chang'an half-immortal Cui Daoye, could it be that he was referring to... himself?

It is true that during his four years in Chang'an, he collected contacts and established a team for Yang Xuan. This ability must be brought out to use. He has made a lot of fame among the aristocrats of the aristocratic family. He was able to keep it secret at the beginning. After four years, it has spread throughout the aristocratic circle of Luoyang, the imperial capital. , is not impossible.But he has never called himself a half-immortal. If someone asks about his background, he will be confused, and he didn't say where he came from. How did he become a half-immortal Taoist?

As soon as this name was called, Cui Yu instantly felt a few years older.Daoist... the impression is that he has a long beard, holds a whisk, and makes up his own image, Cui Yu sighed again.

"This half-immortal Daoist Cui has real skills. I heard that the 500 years in the upper echelon can be counted down to 500 years. You can tell at a glance what your previous life was like, how long you have lived in this life, how many blessings and misfortunes, how many parents, brothers and children are there? There are unworldly achievements... Such talents are urgently needed by the imperial court. However, Daoist cultivation is the most important thing, and he rarely gets involved in the world of mortals. Cui Daoye, anyone will be treated as a guest in the Palace of the King of Yue. Although there are many recommendation posts sent out, this is the only one in my hand. With the utmost sincerity of the King of Yue, my family is also packing my bags for me. The next day is going to Chang'an, at this juncture, how can we lose the recommendation stickers!"

Cui Mata: ...It's so powerful.

Rong Yanbin put his chubby hands behind his back, raised his neck high, and kept his waist as straight as possible, showing a lot of confidence, and he was very confident when he said it: "Although the relationship between the young master and the king of Yue is very good, the recommendation post is not good. You can ask for another copy, but it always takes some favors, that young master—” He pointed behind Cui Yu, “You have to pay something for stealing things, don’t you? Give me a glass of wine as an apology—— Everyone, who dares to say that it shouldn't?"

The onlookers were startled by this semi-celestial ability, and before they could regain their senses, Yin Zimo jumped out and said to Rong Yanbin: "Everything in this world is based on a first-come-first-served basis. You say she stole your things, but I don't know. Everyone present didn't see it, but she defiled my post first, but it was real, and the waiter in the teahouse saw it! My post is not ordinary, it is an invitation post for the first row of guests at the Wang Family Autumn Banquet! The autumn banquet of the Wang family, who doesn’t know the whole Chang’an city, who doesn’t want to go in with a sharpened head? She dirty my post first, so she has to apologize to me first, don’t say wash it up, let’s pay for it, hold the pot and the banquet Toast a few glasses of wine, always want!"

Rong Yanbin stared: "She has to go with me first!"

Yin Zimo closed his fan: "She has to apologize to me first!"

Rong Yanbin: "How dare you look down on King Yue!"

Yin Zimo: "Aren't you going to let the Wang family take it seriously? Stop talking about those useless hats, she must go with me today!"

Rong Yanbin: "Yin, you are just trying to get along with me, right?"

Yin Zimo: "Disrespect, disrespect, Young Master Rong insists on biting me!"

……

These two dandies fought for the right and wrong, they were arguing red-faced and red-faced, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out. Behind each of them, the servants and guards lined up and stood opposite each other, as if they wanted to keep pace with their masters. Stare at each other!

The quarreling and quarreling topics diverged from scrambling for the girl behind her back, to past grudges, exposing each other's faults, even telling who she had crotoned and pissed people when she was a child.

Cui Yu: ...Did you forget to grab the girl?

The onlookers are happy to hear and see, dude robs people to look good, breaking the news is even more exciting!I really want to know how the noble family lives!

It's good to be noisy like this, Cui Yu happened to have time to think.

Rong Yanbin said that Yue Wang recommended a post, since it was said in broad daylight, there must be such a thing.He hadn't heard of it himself, so it must have happened recently, and it hadn't reached Chang'an yet, or it happened to be in Chang'an, and he just happened to be on the river and missed it.

Was King Yue's move a test, or a sincere solicitation?Two years ago, he had been tempted by King Yue's people one after another, but they were not too much. This time...how could he be so fanfare, as if he couldn't wait?Is my ability and reputation really important to him?There is also an important invitation post from the King of Yue, which was given to Rong Yanbin... What is the deep relationship between the King of Yue and the Rong family?In Peng Chuanyi's case, the Rong family wants to turn over, will the King of Yue help?

It would be even better if they could help each other.It happened to be advantageous for him to take the opportunity to seek Yang Xuan's return to court!

But the girl behind her is really powerful. She stole Rong Yanbin's recommendation post, and even defiled Yin Zimo's Wang Family Autumn Banquet post?

Cui Yu looked back at the girl, with suspicion and admiration in his eyes.

Wang Shibaniang almost cried, she kept shaking her head, maybe she was so wronged, her throat was choked up, her lips parted silently: I didn't...no...

In Chang'an City, the Xie family is more powerful than the Wang family, but in Luoyang, it is the Wang family that takes the lead. Just like the Xie family's autumn banquet in Chang'an, the Wang family's autumn banquet is also very famous in Luoyang. No matter how many officials sharpen their heads, they can't get in. Don't even think about it, it's not a lie that it's hard to find a sticker.

Yin Zimo's reason is also very important.But why does he subconsciously look at the girl behind him when he mentions the Wang family?Is it acquaintance, deliberately mentioning the point of common memory, showing cover?

It can be seen that when Yin Zimo and Rong Yanbin were arguing, he still had time to shake his fan in a flirtatious pose, throwing eyes at the girl behind him...

Cui Yu also felt that Xu Yin Zimo just looked at the girl behind him.

Today's incident happened suddenly, knowing more about it and feeling the inside story, Cui Yu couldn't help but smile, this Luoyang is indeed much more fun than Chang'an City.

……

The two of Yin and Rong quarreled until the sky was dark, and finally the topic still came back to snatching the person, as if whoever can snatch this person, whoever wins today, has to fight.After arguing for a long time to no avail, they all stared angrily at Cui Yu: "She hid behind you and said she wanted you to make the decision, so you decide for her, who will go with us!"

Yin Zimo shook his fan and sneered: "She must make amends with me and Yanzhihu today!"

Rong Yanbin's chubby face showed a sinister smile: "You must pour wine with me to apologize!"

Yin Zimo looked at Cui Yu: "If what you do today satisfies me, I will spare you, otherwise—"

Rong Yanbin also glared over: "You will stay with her and serve the young master overnight!"

It's very tacit understanding.

It's just that the voice is a bit off.Cui Yu didn't respond yet, Yang Xuan in the crowd couldn't help it, jumped out and beat these two dudes to death, I'm someone you can flirt with!

Wang Shibaniang was very worried, and she regretted the stupid thing she did today. She ran out without a servant, and was targeted by two dudes who distorted the facts and poured dirty water on her to bully her.Although the benefactor is smart, but this is Luoyang, and she is not familiar with the place, how can I help her?What if I was implicated by her?

After Rong Yanbin finished speaking, he looked Cui Yu up and down, and he was sure he didn't recognize him. It was an unfamiliar face, and his clothes and accessories couldn't be seen. He threatened very arrogantly: "You boy from the country, you have to speak well—— "

Cui Yu was not angry, but still asked earnestly with a smile on his face: "Brother Tai is right, I am indeed not from Luoyang, but country people like us know that we should pay attention to etiquette in everything. If you want to make an appointment, you have to send it in advance Poster, set a good time, even if gangsters are fighting and seeking revenge, they also know how to send a letter first, then come to Luoyang, the capital of the emperor, and you don’t like this anymore?"

Rong and Yin were a little stunned, as if they didn't know how to answer this question.

The onlookers all stared and clenched their fists, looking like they wanted to answer, but they didn't want to offend the two dudes, so no one opened their mouths.It was Yang Xuan who gave the best effort, and shouted out with a squeeze of his throat: "Our Luoyang is the most reasonable!" After shouting, he changed the place so that no one would find out.

Someone made the first rafters, and everyone was not afraid, and shouted: "Yes, we in Luoyang also pay attention to etiquette!"

"The most polite!"

"Don't blackmail us Luoyang people!"

"Fighting also needs to post a post and make an appointment first!"

"Anyone who doesn't date is an uneducated savage!"

The uneducated barbarian Rong Yanbin and Yin Zimo glanced at each other, then glared angrily around, staring all around without leaving anyone behind.

The voices of the crowd were slightly lower.

Cui Yu pointed behind his back: "No matter how this young master offended you two, there is always someone with a name and a reason. You both hand over a name post, explaining the cause and effect clearly. Whether this young master accepts or rejects, he will always accept it." Give me a charter, if she doesn't, you two will come back to denounce, let alone other things, everyone will help you, isn't it, everyone!"

The crowd echoed loudly: "That's the reason!"

Under normal circumstances, dandies are not afraid of civilians, but if there are too many people and the public opinion is the same, and they are all contrary to them, they have to think about whether they want to suppress their temper.

A dandy who can run rampant in the market is not stupid. He knows how to do it and to what extent he can do it. Nothing big will happen. If it arouses public anger and hurts the family's reputation, he will have to be beaten up.

Both dudes frowned in displeasure, very aggrieved.

At this time, suddenly a girl in a pink gauze skirt came out: "Young master, what you said is wrong."

She has slender shoulders and a thin waist, with a perfect figure, with lotuses growing every step of the way, swaying in many poses.The face is completely covered by the gauze fence, and it is difficult to see the real appearance in the haze. Only when the breeze blows by, the delicate and small chin and red lips are exposed... The appearance is very attractive. It would be better to tear away the blinding barrier.

Although the girl's posture is soft and gentle, but there is a bit of calculation and hostility in her voice, Cui Yu is a little displeased.

"Are you talking to me?" His voice was slightly cold.

"Exactly." The girl walked up to Rong Yanbin and stood still, and made a graceful and graceful blessing ceremony, and then looked at Cui Yu again, "In our kingdom of heaven, the most important thing is etiquette, but there is nothing more than etiquette. , there is still human affection, meeting is fate, and we become friends as soon as we see each other, why can't we make an appointment right away?"

She clasped her hands and placed them in front of her lower abdomen, her posture was extremely beautiful: "And this etiquette is not rigid, it can't be changed at any time. Like Mr. Xie Jia from the aristocratic Xie family, everyone praises his strength, talent and character. He is a model for the world, but he is polite to the emperor, courteous to the king of Yue, when he goes out to meet a poor scholar with real talents, and the prince who talked about the atonement of Chang'an in the court, he is also polite and will not utter evil words. According to etiquette, the family should He is despicable and poor, and does not associate with sinners. There is also Chang'an half-immortal Cui Daoye, the little girl lives in the inner house, ignorant and ignorant, but she also knows that this Daoist does everything according to fate, will make divinations with nobles, and will also mention some things you meet on the street. According to the rules of the Daoist sect, he wants to practice inaction and not enter the chaotic world of mortals..."

"It can be seen that in this world, when one's morality has been cultivated to a certain level, one can be free and easy, without sticking to small details. It is only a capable person who doesn't care about every detail, and sticks to dogma in everything."

After the woman finished speaking, she bowed to Cui Yu: "However, not everyone understands this truth. You just said that you are from the countryside. You don't have much experience. You don't know. It's understandable that you don't admire someone who is a master of learning."

It's also a blessed body salute, compared to the previous courteous and courteous ones, this one by Cui Yuxing is quite upright, with a straight back and straight head, obviously saluting, but it gives people a kind of arrogance and contempt Feel.

And the voice has a back nasal sound, as if it was squeezed out of the mouth, with a bright look of contempt.

The world respects scholars a lot. Although it is advocating that women who have no talent are virtues, there are really women who speak well and have a beautiful temperament. They are beautiful at first glance... No matter what she says, everyone can’t understand it. Unpredictable, everyone will applaud in admiration.

The onlookers looked at the beauty and kept gasping, thinking that you are beautiful and you are justified. Although Cui Yu is also beautiful, but men, there are also men present, so naturally they take more care of the beauty.

When Rong Yanbin saw the woman appearing, he stole Cui Yu's limelight. He was so happy that his face trembled with a smile: "Well said!"

This beauty was blessed by Chao Rongyan Bin again, and then she remembered that she didn't know who the person in front of her was: "By the way, I haven't asked this young master—where is Xianxiang, and which family is he from?"

Cui Yu was almost amused by this girl, was this gesture a little eager?The atonement prince you despise, and the respected half-immortal Cui Daoye, are all here——

As soon as the beauty spoke, the girl behind him grabbed the corner of his clothes more tightly. He felt sensitively that this beauty might be the girl's enemy, and the reason why he trampled him into the mud was because he was protecting the girl behind him... There are so many surprises.

Yang Xuan felt that the city of Luoyang was against him!When he moved the capital when he was young, he was abandoned, and the dignified prince could not enter the East Palace of the Luoyang Imperial City; when he grew up, he had to hide his face when he came in, for fear of being discovered by someone and causing disaster; even when his sweetheart came, he would immediately encounter such a thing , was actually despised and bullied by a woman in broad daylight...

No, he felt like he was going to explode!

Cui Yu felt that this situation was a bit inappropriate to reveal his identity.He didn't mind slapping others in the face, it's just that he is an expert, and it's best to show an attitude of being an expert when the opportunity is right, so he replied: "No one is unknown, it's nothing to worry about. But I see that the girl has a good sense of conversation - she must be from a family? "
