Bastards

Yang Xuan looked down at the black leather mask in his hand, and was silent for a while.

He doesn't know anything. He shouldn't be too impatient when it comes to love affairs. He should control it, hold it up, and play hard to get. Is it you?

Especially with his status, how many people and how many books are trying to teach him, you are the prince of a country, you will become a great person in the future, what kind of person do you want?As long as it doesn't suit you at all, just change it!

But no.

He can't do anyone except Cui Mata.

And he couldn't help it either.As long as the shadow of Cui Yu appears in front of his eyes, he is out of control, his eyes will follow him subconsciously, his hands and feet will be ready to move, he will think about getting closer, getting closer... Sometimes his mind has not reacted yet, and the action is already one step ahead ——It's a pity that Cui Yu 'just' escaped them all.

He reflected for a moment, he was not like this all the time, most of the time as long as he could be by Cui Yu's side, he was very satisfied.As long as there is Cui Yu's aura around him, and he can see Cui Yu's people when he looks up and turns his feet, he can sit down at the desk and do business with peace of mind.When there is a special situation, when it is necessary to discuss with Cui Yu, he can also follow the train of thought quite rationally, agree or disagree with Cui Yu's opinion, put forward his own ideas, and finally integrate the most appropriate response method.

But there are always a few times every day that Cui Yu's attraction to him is like a gunpowder explosion. There seems to be a trace of affection in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and even the red mole on the center of his eyebrows will glow, which makes him involuntarily, involuntarily... the whole body is like The fire was burning, and I could hear the sound of the beating heart and the blood flowing, but every time I stretched out my hand and leaned over my body, Cui Yu would dodge it.

Cui Yu's face is pure and serious, and he seems to have understood everything to save him face, so he always feels that his thoughts are a little...wretched.

I want to continue, but I always feel a little ashamed and unable to hold on to my face, and if I don't continue, I feel a little bit reluctant.It feels like being scratched by a cat's paw, it's very itchy, the paw is often scratched in the wrong place, the more it scratches, the more itchy, the stronger a certain thought in his heart... It makes him need to get up several times a night to pour cold water to feel comfortable point.

Just now, he had an intuition, as if Cui Yu would put a mask on him with his own hands... He was also looking forward to it, but why did he leave?

He got it wrong again?

Yang Xuan sighed, walked silently to the mirror, put on a mask regretfully and aggrieved.

This mask was drawn by Cui Yu himself and made by staring at the bottom.Made of buckskin, dyed black with salt skin wood, the leather is breathable and soft, and does not irritate the skin at all.The style is not flat, but slightly undulating, which fits the curve of the face very well, and it is very docile when worn on the face. It feels like another layer of skin, without any discomfort.

The mask is like a bat with spread wings. It covers most of the face, from the forehead down, browbones, temples, cheekbones, and even the bridge of the nose, all of which are covered. What others can see are only half of the forehead, eyes, mouth and bottom. E.

There are not too many patterns on the mask, only the cutting method is used to make the whole shape. The wings on both sides are tilted up obliquely, and the slightly undulating patterns are drawn inward and inward. The angle of retraction is slightly faster, and it is worn on the face On the ground, it doesn't look like a bat at all, it looks like a fox.

Yang Xuan looked at himself in the mirror, feeling a little strange.

However, most of the face is hidden under the mask, as if hiding himself. He can see others and see everything, but others can't see him. It feels very interesting.Even if he himself feels strange, others will not feel familiar. Even the people around him must take a good look at it and recognize it before there will be any results.

When Yang Xuan first suggested this, he simply didn't want to be chased away by Cui Yu, but he was pleasantly surprised by the result. He likes this mask very much, and it suits him very well.

The mask was made by Cui Yu for him...not to mention, it is hard for others to match his thoughtfulness, so why doesn't he like Cui Yu?How could Cui Mata have no feeling for him at all?

Thinking about it, Yang Xuan slowly touched the mask with his big hand, smiling a little silly.

When Cui Minta changed his clothes and came out of the room, he became even more stupid.

Cui Yu was wearing the clothes that Lan Qiao had brought this time and Cui Ying had prepared.Made of pure white kudzu silk, without patterns or embroidery, it is an ordinary men's gown, simple and unadorned.But it is simple and simple to wear on others, but on Cui Yu's body...but it looks like jade, ethereal and ethereal, and it looks outrageous.

Yang Xuan took a closer look and realized that it was the cutting style that caused the difference in feeling.

The same men's gown, other people's is straight and straight, but Cui Yu's is very close to the body line, the shoulders, waist and sleeves are all closed, the hem is slightly wider, the top is tight and the bottom is loose, and it has a delicate and spiritual feeling visually. .In terms of the lapel, Cui Ying did the opposite. He gave up the Luoyang popular style of open collar and exposed chest that the little fat man Cui Jin said, but wrapped the lapel very tightly, so that the neck was not exposed at all, and a little higher, even the Adam's apple can be covered.

The extremely close-fitting upper body style, coupled with the lapel design, made Yang Xuan's mouth feel thirsty just by looking at it. For some reason, he had the urge to take off this dress.

That's not all. Xu felt that pure white was too monotonous, so Cui Ying matched it with a lake green blouse.The lake green is a very shallow lake green, a bit close to a very shallow blue. The material is very light and thin gauze, which is made wide and loose, and it is draped on Cui Yu's body, and the inside and outside are contrasted... Even more immortal!

When Cui Mata walked, the light gauze swayed with the steps, and the lines of the body wrapped in the white shirt under the gauze were faintly visible, making people unable to keep their eyes on them, especially wanting to see clearly; The wind that blows can blow the veil, showing the whole person is extremely agile, and it is even more attractive.

"Why are you in a daze, let's go." Cui Yan tapped Yang Xuan's shoulder with his fan.

Yang Xuan lightened his shoulder, as if the light tap had hit his heart, itching and uncomfortable.

"Do you want...to change clothes?" Yang Xuan's throat tightened, and he suggested very sincerely.

Cui Yu really didn't understand Yang Xuan's point this time, so he looked down and said, "It's pretty good, why change it?"

Yang Xuan tried to find a reason: "Would it... get dirty easily?"

Cui Yu's expression was a little strange: "I'm not going to do anything..."

Yang Xuan: "Isn't that hot?"

"The material is very breathable, the color is refreshing, it's very comfortable to wear, and it's not hot at all," Cui Yu himself was very satisfied with the clothes. Seeing that Yang Xuan might react because of his own preferences, he directly ignored his opinion and turned to ask Lan Qiao. He Mutong, "Is there something inappropriate about this dress?"

Lan Qiao nodded with a silly smile: "It's very suitable, the young master looks good in this!"

Mu Tong also nodded: "The occasion for the banquet is very suitable."

Cui Yu happily decided: "Then this one, let's go!"

Yang Xuan: ...

"What are you doing in a daze, let's go—" Seeing that Yang Xuan didn't move for a long time, Cui Yu turned his head and urged.

Yang Xuan could only sigh and followed.

……

This time is different from the purpose of the banquet, and it will not be as busy and high-profile as the Xie family's autumn banquet four years ago. Cui Yu had already greeted the Wang family, and wanted to keep a low profile, just seeing the Wang family. Three casually stroll.

The Wang family doesn't know Sha San's identity, but they only know that he is a disciple of Mr. Wang Fu, so they can't be neglected; the name of Cui Daoye, the half-immortal of Chang'an, is too important. They have had many contacts in the past four years, and Cui Yu has also helped them .The distinguished guests have a special status, and they want to be more at ease. They will not stop them as hosts, and they will be as considerate as possible.

As soon as the post by Cui Yu and his party was handed over to the porter, they were immediately led to the main hall of the outer courtyard. The head of the royal family came to meet him in person, and Sha San was stunned for a moment when he saw that he was wearing a mask.

Cui Yu smiled and explained for him: "Recently, I have a rash for some reason, and I can't see the wind."

Yang Xuan cupped his hands, with a serious face: "It's not a good thing, as long as the Patriarch knows about it."

Everyone has their own little-known secrets. The Wang family understands it very well, and they are not curious to delve into it. Please take Cui Yu and his wife to sit down and make tea.

After the tea time passed, the greetings were over, and the atmosphere was harmonious, Cui Yu said: "Your residence is having a banquet today, and everything is busy, so you don't need to deliberately greet me. The left and right have come down to Luoyang. The days are still long, and we can get together at any time."

When the Wang family heard this, what they said was ironic. Does this mean that they can come and go frequently?

The old man of the Wang family didn't hold back, he laughed twice: "Okay! After this banquet, I will invite Cui Xiaoyou to have a special meeting! Today you can play with Sha Xiaoyou casually, where you want to go, what you need, tell the people below That's right!"

In this way, Cui Yu and Yang Xuan were at their ease.

Mutong slipped outside, came back and said that the Rong family hadn't come yet, so Cui Yu walked away lazily, so he and Yang Xuan found the waterside pavilion, watching the fish and enjoying the cool breeze while waiting.

Wang Shibaniang was very considerate. Hearing the news of their coming in the inner courtyard, she specially asked the servants to clear the way and come over to have a look.By the way, I also brought some small dishes made by myself, and invited them to taste them.

"Thank you for saving me twice and for explaining me. Now I know that I was wrong about many things before, and I apologize to my mother..." Wang Shibaniang looked at Cui Yu with bright eyes.

Yang Xuan was a little dissatisfied, before she started, she picked up the teapot to refill Cui Yu's tea, and returned Cui Yu's vegetables.

Wang Shibaniang's eyes became brighter...

Cui Mata picked up the teacup and drank tea with a smile: "You can think about it, and I will send you a message if you have good news in the future, and I will add makeup with you."

A willow leaf swirled down with the wind and landed on Cui Yu's shoulder. Yang Xuan leaned slightly to help him take it.At this moment, the distance between the two was extremely close, and the light and shadow almost melted together, but Cui Yu didn't notice it at all.

However, Sha San is wearing a mask today, and his whole person feels more cold and serious, but he is more tender towards Cui Yu; today Cui Yu is as handsome and handsome as ever, and his clothes are quite fairy-like, but there is a special kind of ascetic dignity feel.This picture, this picture...

Wang Shibaniang almost covered her face and screamed, her face turned red.

"Then...then you guys have fun, I won't bother you..."

Yang Xuan gave him a look of 'That's right, you're very interesting', and finally stopped glaring at him.

Cui Yu was a little surprised, why did he leave as soon as he arrived?Not even a few words of pleasantries?It's not that he is reluctant and wants to spend more time with the little girl, but it's not in line with everyone's hospitality etiquette.That is to say, walk up to the front, even if you just say hello, how can you get a cup of tea, and leave after saying a word...

Maybe there is something important.

Cui Yu smiled and waved: "There are many customers and busy schedules today, so don't be tired."

Yang Xuan seemed a little dissatisfied that he cared about others, so he deliberately put an extra piece of pastry in the past, so that he could look at her.

Wang Shibaniang blushed and ran away. Before leaving this courtyard, she solemnly said to the people below: "Seal all the nearby roads that can come here, and don't allow anyone to disturb the two distinguished guests."

The servant was a little embarrassed: "Today is a banquet, there will always be guests..."

"That hour...forget it," Wang Shibaniang stomped her feet, "At least two quarters of an hour, as long as the two distinguished guests don't leave, no one is allowed to come and disturb each other!"

This is fine, the servant immediately bowed his hands and saluted: "Yes, miss."

So Yang Xuan and Cui Yu enjoyed a very rare two-person time for a while.There are bright sunshine in summer, beautiful scenery full of flowers, colorful fish, cool breeze, and even good tea and wine.

The only pity is that Yang Xuan once again felt the supreme charm of Cui Yu's brows and eyes, and when he leaned over to hug him, he ran away like a slippery fish swimming in the corridor.

Even my little hands couldn't touch it by the way.

Yang Xuan was very sad in his heart.

……

Mutong visited twice more and told Cui Yu that Rong Yanbin was here.And as expected, he brought Lin Zhiyan here.

Cui Yu's eyes were slightly raised, it seemed that Rong Yanbin was in a hurry.

He straightened his clothes and stood up: "Let's go."

He and Yang Xuan were just curious about who Lin Zhiyan was looking for, what to bring, and why she was so sure that as long as she got it, she would be able to use the Peng Chuanyi case to arrange for Rong Yanbin's mother and son to be right. They didn't pay attention to the rest, so the route was very direct. He went straight to find Rong Yanbin.

They didn't want to stop them, they just wanted to watch, so they kept a low profile, and stopped when they saw someone, hiding in the dark.

Rong Yanbin's painting style is very unique.

Xu Shi has been used to it since he was a child, Xu Shi feels good about himself, he is walking the right path, and he is going to the circle of the eldest son of the aristocratic family.

The aristocratic family's banquet, especially the leader of the Wang family, is the most conservative. What is the status, what is the status, what is the relationship with the main family, what kind of reception method is suitable.It's not that there is no room for turning around, it depends on your strength and potential.

Sometimes Cui Yu wanted to complain, these rules are too cold and unreasonable, but I have to say that most of the time it is because of them that the circle is not so chaotic.

Rong Yanbin, no matter how favored he is at home, no matter how crazy he is outside, he will not be treated as the son of everyone when he comes to the Wang family. impolite.

Fortunately for him, he hit the right road.However, it may also be due to the rules, as soon as he entered the venue, he could guess the approximate directions of the districts, or the direction of other guests gave him inspiration.

Cui Yu sighed softly in his heart, young man, you are so attractive, do you know if you will be in trouble?

Rong Yanbin obviously didn't know, or he wasn't afraid.His concubine, Lin Zhiyan, knew how to measure, carefully pulled his sleeves, and whispered a few words of recommendation.But Rong Yanbin didn't listen, and turned to stare at Lin Zhiyan.Lin Zhiyan didn't say much.

Cui Yu glanced at Yang Xuan: With such an idiot holding back, it seems that the road to find out the truth today is long and difficult.

Yang Xuan patted Cui Yu's back to show comfort: there is nothing left and right, just wait.

This time Cui Mata did not avoid it.

Yang Xuan was a little pleasantly surprised, the bottom of her eyes glistened, and she gently and slowly reached out to Cui Yu's hand...

Because he was wearing a mask, his expression was not as easy to see as in the past, and Cui Mata focused most of his attention on Rong Yanbin, so he didn't pay attention, so he asked him to lead him.

But...after reacting, he immediately released Yang Xuan's hand.

Yang Xuan: ...

This day is simply sad.

……

Sure enough, Rong Yanbin was stopped after not walking for long.

A dignified young man in a green shirt stretched out his hand to stop Rong Yanbin: "I said, did Young Master Rong go to the wrong place? This is not a place you can come to."

Rong Yanbin slapped his hand away vigorously: "Young master, where can I go? It's not like I haven't been to the palace before, how dare you stop me? Do you know what will happen!"

The noble young master in green shirt withdrew his hand with a 'hiss', and his brows and eyes were full of anger under the severe pain: "Don't say you don't even understand the difference between concubine and concubine! Your family didn't even teach you this!"

Rong Yanbin was even angrier than him, and raised his eyebrows angrily: "How dare you scold my family!"

If there is a disagreement, there will be a fight.

Cui Yu lightly clicked his tongue, and whispered to Yang Xuan: "This Rong family is known as one of the eight small families. I heard that they are quite self-motivated. What do you think they are trying to raise their children like this?"

Yang Xuan's ears were a little itchy, but he held it tight and didn't move, and even moved closer to Cui Yu spontaneously: "I can't figure it out."

Cui Yu snorted and laughed: "It's not clear enough."

Yang Xuan looked closely at Cui Yu's eyebrows and eyes, felt Cui Yu's light and warm breath, and said in his heart that although there was a lot of sadness, but hard work, there is still a little sunshine...

The two were talking when Yin Zimo came over.

The young master in green shirt might be an acquaintance with him, so he trotted up to meet him immediately: "Brother Zimo, you are here, you never get a chance in the past, this time we brothers should have a good drink!"

Originally, this matter has come to an end, and the instigator runs away first, and the curtain can be closed.But Rong Yanbin and Yin Zimo have a grudge, and they have never dealt with each other. They just had a big fight on the streets of Luoyang a few days ago, and they were extremely jealous when they met.

In particular, the young master in green shirt knew Yin Zimo, and Rong Yanbin misunderstood him because of his flattering expression and voice.

"Oh—so he belongs to you!" Rong Yanbin immediately rushed to Yin Zimo, "You ordered him to stop me from bullying me, didn't you!"

Yin Zimo was wronged, but he couldn't be cowardly in front of the enemy, he just rolled his eyes: "I said, some people are not young, and they should have some self-knowledge and understand their identity."

Rong Yanbin jumped up immediately: "Why don't I know myself! My family is the head of the eight small families, and there are empresses in the palace. How can I not be the guest of the royal family!"

"It's so shameless. You made the head of the Eight Little Aristocratic Families yourself. Who admits it?" Yin Zimo looked cold and arrogant, "Your Majesty? Among our families, which family has never had a Empress?"

Rong Yanbin sneered: "So what if you have a concubine in your family, she was killed by someone, but my concubine is settled!"

Yin Zimo sneered: "So what if you are in the right position? Isn't it someone else's dog? Just ask around, has that lady in your family ever been favored once?"

Rong Yanbin jumped: "Aren't you sore? You want to be someone else's dog, but no one else wants it!"

……

The two of them confronted each other, the smell of gunfire was strong, and the more they spoke, the more explicit they became. No one needed to guess, they knew that what they said was alluding to Concubine Tian Gui and King Yue.

Concubine Tian Gui was the only one in the palace, she was a lice on the monk's head, it was obvious, no one didn't know.However, the more powerful Concubine Tian is, the more powerful she is, so even if others mention it, they should be taboo. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to say it out loud on such an occasion?

Cui Yu's gaze pondered, or maybe he and Yang Xuan miscalculated the situation before they came, but in fact Tian Guifei and Yue Wang were not as powerful as they imagined, which has already caused many people's dissatisfaction?

"I've gained a lot of experience." Cui Yu's eyes sparkled, and he whispered to Yang Xuan again, "This time really didn't come in vain."

Yang Xuan lowered his jaw, and his eyes slid from Cui Yu's exquisite eyebrows to his vermilion lips: "It's really rare to be so happy and honored to be a dog for others."

Seeing that the matter was about to turn into a big mess, the servants of the Wang family couldn't stand it any longer, so they divided one of them up to invite someone, and even the noble young man in green shirt who was standing next to him looked a little embarrassed, but Rong Yanbin and Yin Zimo still didn't stop, and the noise became louder and louder. fierce.

Lin Zhiyan, who was very clear, stood up at this time, stretched out her hand and tugged at the corner of Rong Yanbin's clothes, her bright red lips parted, and I felt pity: "Master...the business is important."

When Rong Yanbin met her beautiful face, Xu thought about the business and paused for a moment.But Yin Zimo's attack instantly made him lose his mind, he swung Lin Zhiyan away, and pinched Yin Zimo again.

Unable to control his strength in anger, this wave threw Lin Zhiyan directly to the ground.

Because she was a female family member and a member of Rong Yanbin, the gentleman in green shirt next to her wanted to help her, but she didn't dare to do it, so Lin Zhiyan got up by herself.

Lin Zhiyan was thrown to the ground heavily, her arms and legs were in great pain, she couldn't stand up for a while, and there was no one to help her, she lay on the ground for a long time before slowly getting up while supporting the ground, this scene...was very desolate.

Perhaps she also felt ashamed, and raised her hand to cover her face with a handkerchief, wondering if she was crying.

Cui Mata couldn't help but sigh.

Time really can change people.

In Wang Shibaniang's description, this Lin Zhiyan may not have a righteous mind, but she has a high vision, and she puts on the airs of an official lady, arrogant and face-saving, and she is used to using others as guns, and she rarely If you do it yourself, you will have a good reputation outside.

Only a few years later, a proud little girl became a treacherous, shameless slut, who shamelessly became someone else's concubine. She tried her best to help him find a job...

"Everything is her own choice, you don't need to lament about it." Yang Xuan squeezed Cui Yu's waist.

"I just feel that the world is impermanent." Cui Yan didn't notice Yang Xuan's small movements. Seeing Lin Zhiyan stepping back, he raised his spirits, "She wants to leave by herself! Let's leave the fight behind and follow her to see what she is looking for. who!"
