Bastards

On this day, the imperial palace was full of all sorts of ups and downs, and Cui Yu was not idle here.

The first is to routinely process various message transactions.

When Yang Xuan entered the palace, there were people from all over the place staring at him, and he couldn't be as free as before. Many things were inconvenient to manage by himself, so they were handed over to Cui Yu.From Hebang, from Chang'an, from Luoyang, all kinds of news are mixed and trivial. It is a big project just to collect and sort them out, and it is not easy to dig out deeper things from them, guard against or use them.

Cui Yu was very patient. While drinking tea, he sat in front of the case with a high degree of concentration, and did not stop until lunchtime when he was reminded by Lan Qiao.

"There is no need to clean up the book case, I will read it later."

"Good young master!" Lan Qiao nodded in response, and helped Cui Yan roll up his sleeves to let him wash his hands.

Seeing the dishes on the table, Cui Yu was a little surprised: "There is whitebait?"

Whitebait is a rare delicacy in the river, not found in this area of ​​Luoyang, and now it appears on his table, it can only be - "Sent by the Yue family?"

There are a bunch of rough guys in the river gang, loyal and capable, but only women can think of this carefully.

"Young master is so smart!" Lan Qiao had always admired his master's intelligence, he didn't ask anything, and he understood everything at a glance!

Cui Yu held up his chopsticks and took a bite of the whitebait. It was smooth and tender, and the meat was sweet and sweet, which was his favorite taste.

The autumn wind is refreshing. In September, the weather in Luoyang is not very hot anymore, except for a few moments of heat in the afternoon. In the morning and night, you have to thicken your blouse so that you don’t get cold. After losing your appetite in the summer, Cui Yu eats very comfortably. ,only--

"Where's Ah Chou? Why didn't you come?"

Not only does the little tiger look like a cat, he likes to behave like a cat, but he also tastes like a cat. Among other things, his love for fish has not changed since he was a child.Now that he has grown up and has a wild temper, he likes to hunt prey outside by himself, but whenever there are fish on the dinner table, he will definitely appear on time.

Lan Qiao was also thinking about it, and had been looking out of the window since just now: "Ah Chou went out to play early in the morning, and he hasn't come back now, so it should be..."

"Roar--"

Speaking of Ah Chou, when Ah Chou arrived, he roared through the window, almost scaring Lan Qiao.

Lan Qiao ran to the window and opened the window wider to let it in: "Why didn't you make a sound when you came to me, it's intentional to scare people, it's too bad!"

For the sake of his loyal service, the little tiger didn't blame him for being rude, he pushed his arm meaningfully, jumped down and ran to Cui Yu's side: "Meow——"

Cui Yu patted the large chair next to him, put a whitebait on a plate, and placed it by the table: "Come here."

The little tiger was so beautiful that he didn't care about food, so he rubbed against Cui Mata for a long time.

"Okay, kiss me if you know you, nothing else matters."

"Meow—" The little tiger looked at its master with a pair of moist amber round eyes.

"Come and eat."

The little tiger just jumped onto the chair and ate with its owner.

After many years of training, the little tiger knows the rules very well. It doesn’t eat everywhere, and it doesn’t know how to be mischievous. It just concentrates on eating its own portion, and when it’s finished, it meows at its owner and asks the owner to give it another bite. .

One person and one tiger ate a full belly, and the table was removed. Cui Yu stroked the tiger's hair and kissed it: "Ah Chou is the most obedient!"

"Aww—" the little tiger continued to act cute.

But while playing around, Cui Yu found that something was wrong with the little tiger.

Enthusiasm is the same enthusiasm as always, and grittyness is the same as ever, but its eyes are always looking out of the window, looking at it for a while, and then for a while.

Cui Yu looked outside, and outside the wall, in the corridor connected to the inn, the subordinates of Hebang were loading the empty fish barrels into the car, and they should be pulling them back.

Cui Yu understood immediately, and squeezed the little tiger's paw: "Do you miss Linglong?"

When the little tiger heard his friend's name, he let out a 'meow', poked his round head around, and his round tiger eyes were filled with anticipation, as if he was saying, where is the little friend?Did the master hide her?

"It really is."

Cui Yu smiled and rubbed its neck hair: "Do you want to go back with the boat to play with her?"

Linglong is born with great strength, but she is too young and has a simple mind. The Yue family will definitely not let her go out alone. If she wants to play with her, the little tiger has to go back to the river gang.

"Lan Qiao," Cui Yu instructed Lan Qiao, "go and tell the people below, and when you leave, say that and send the little tiger to the Yue family."

Lan Qiao hesitated: "Master, the crown prince has entered the palace, and you have no one around. If Ah Chou also leaves, wouldn't it be..." Too lonely?

Cui Yu heard what he meant, and smiled: "I have so many things to do, how can I be bored? Chou is still young, it's time to play, don't restrain him. That's it, it will be more than a month later. It's going to be cold, and the river is not comfortable, so it happens to have had enough fun and come back to accompany me, Maodong."

The little tiger seemed to understand what Cui Yu meant, and stuck to him, licking and rubbing, really reluctant.

Cui Yu's neck was itchy from being licked by it, and he pushed it away with his hands: "Okay, go crazy for a month, and then come back to accompany me."

The little tiger really missed his little friend. After saying goodbye to Cui Yu, he ran to find the people from the He Gang. Before leaving the inn, he let out a long roar, as if making a promise with his master that he would be obedient. ,come back earlier.

Lan Qiao sighed: "Young master, this ugly is about to become a genius!" How can there be such a clever tiger in the world!

Cui Mata smiled and didn't take this seriously.

The little tiger is smart, it's its aptitude, and it's also his luck, anyway, the river gang doesn't dare to mess with it, and with Linglong around, it won't make trouble, that's enough.

Cui Yu went into the study again.

In the evening, Mu Tong told Cui Yu the news from the secret guard, saying that Concubine Tian had a banquet in the palace to celebrate the prince's return to the palace.

Cui Yu's eyes flickered: "Weasels will not have good intentions when they wish chickens a new year."

It's a pity that in the current situation, outsiders can't enter the palace and can't help. I can only hope that Yang Xuan will be vigilant and deal with it well.

"Take a message to the dark guard, pay close attention to the development of the matter, don't miss the details, and tell me the details later."

"Yes!"

Because of this matter in his heart, Cui Mata couldn't relax his eyebrows, and the dinner didn't help much.

I thought today was over like this, and when I received the news from the palace later, I would be able to understand and analyze the situation, but unexpectedly, Lan Qiao came to report: "The elder is here."

"Uncle?" Cui Yu frowned. What is he doing here?

The day I went to the mansion over there, I already explained everything. It stands to reason that Cui Zheng should not want to see him again in a short time, unless he caused trouble.Even if trouble is caused, Cui Zheng can still call him to the house, why not come to him in person at this time depending on the weather and timing?

It seems... It's his half-immortal status.

Cui Yu put down his pen in a calm manner, and told Lan Qiao, "Please sit down in the main hall."

Lan Qiao retreated in response.

After tidying up a bit, Cui Yu walked to the main hall, smiling: "Uncle, why are you here at this time? What's the matter, tell your servant to pass a message, and my nephew will come to see you."

Hearing such explosive news at Chuchu, how could Cui Zheng sit still?If Cui Mata is proficient in metaphysics, is praised as a half-immortal in Chang'an, and wins the eyes of the prince when he enters Luoyang, after that...

He stared at Cui Yu closely, clenched his fists with both hands, suppressed the excitement in his eyes, and said calmly: "I heard people say that you have a name outside, Chang'an Cui Banxian, but is that so?"

It really is.

Cui Yu lightly smiled, and understood.

It's easy to be fooled that he knows metaphysics, but it's hard to hide his background. He didn't lie on purpose. Sooner or later, people who follow him will know.But he came to Luoyang for a short time, and he didn't do any big things. He thought he would have to wait at least another month, when his grandmother brought the whole family over, before Cui Zheng heard about it. By then, all his blood relatives would be there, so it didn't matter if he didn't want to deal with Cui Zheng. Who knew that Cui Zheng knew so early...

Did someone add firewood on purpose?

The thoughts in his heart were not revealed on his face, Cui Yu's voice was surprised: "It's just a little thing, how did uncle know?"

"How do I know it's not important," Cui Zheng controlled his breathing, his face expressionless, "The important thing is that you have learned the real thing?"

Cui Yu smiled slightly: "So what, what if it's not?"

Cui Zheng frowned, he didn't like Cui Yu's attitude towards him, and his voice sank: "I don't know you yet? It's true that I like reading books. I'm a bit too cold-tempered. I don't like to take the initiative in everything. It's not because your father and aunt With your worrying temper, how could you have the opportunity to get in touch with metaphysics, and even worshiped the master, so that you can improve your skills?"

Cui Mata's eyes drooped, these words were a test.

To speak out in an intimate manner is to blame, but also to reveal a different kind of concern. If he is still the fool a few years ago, he will be grateful to his uncle.

Now Cui Yu knows what this uncle is planning... He doesn't even want to let himself dominate the conversation.

So, why not follow him and see what his purpose is.

Cui Yu looked a little modest: "It was just a coincidence that I saved an expert. The expert taught a few skills, which are not real skills... But I am really interested in these. Uncle, you have rich experience and knowledge. Maybe Found a related book?"

Hearing what he said, Cui Zheng's heart tightened and then relaxed again.The important thing is that it sounds like this ability is not high, and if you use it rashly, it may have the opposite effect; the loose thing is that the ability is not high, but it is possible, and it is easy to master, and it will be a great help if you use it well.

In an instant, his mind was surging, and his mind was changing... After a long while, he frowned and pursed his lips, and taught Cui Yan a majestic lesson: "You are not very young, but you have a knack for causing trouble. You know, if you say something casually, your reputation will be gone." Standing up outside, if one day a very distinguished person comes to invite you, what will you do if you fail to do something, you will not be able to protect yourself, and your family will be hurt?"

Cui Yu showed fear at the right time: "Then what should I do? I just helped with the mentality of helping others, and I didn't intend to seek anything..."

"What's the hurry?" Cui Zheng glanced at him, "Isn't there an uncle here? Will the uncle watch you have an accident?"

"That……"

"The only solution now is to find an alliance with the strong." Cui Zheng's face was serious, calm and serious, and he looked like a good uncle who wholeheartedly helped his nephew find a way, "What do you think... how about marriage? Find a help for you , let others not dare to bully you, and also bring some benefits to the family, everyone misses you, if something happens to you one day, everyone will protect you, if others are ungrateful and unwilling, there is uncle, uncle is the most The one that hurts is always you!"

"This……"

Before Cui Yan could speak, Cui Zheng continued to speak, his voice kept on talking, and he turned his hands behind his back while thinking about it, as if thinking about how much brains and troubles he had made: "The fifteenth mother of the Tao family in Luoyang, I look good, you are a lady, you have been well-bred since you were a child, and your family background is not bad, one of the eight small families, if your uncle and the Tao family are not able to talk, and you have a little bit of ability, others will definitely not follow... How about I say you Dad is too much, you are already twenty, and there is no one to talk about your marriage, so I have to worry about you..."

Seeing that Cui Mata lowered his head and said nothing, Cui Zheng thought he was embarrassed, and persuaded him gently: "Although you are twenty, your father didn't teach you seriously, and you don't know the benefits of marriage. Anyway, remember what uncle said. Stop, marriage will help you and your family. If you really help the tribe, the tribe will really help you. Even if something happens to you, the tribe will have a higher official position, more real power, and more power. I will definitely catch you!"

Cui Yu kept his head down, because he was afraid that he would laugh out loud and scare Cui Zheng.

Cui Zheng really treated him like a fool!

This 'I'm all for your own good' attitude, guiding step by step, as if he failed his hard work if he didn't agree, and he was stupid, he was in a dangerous situation without knowing it, and he might die the next moment In a different place, the consequences are disastrous!

Why do you help the tribe, and the tribe will help you? This is a high righteousness, but in fact, Cui Zheng is the only one who wants to take advantage of it.What do you mean when something happens to him, the clan officials are high and have great power, and they have the ability to catch him. I am afraid that Cui Zheng will kill the donkey at that time, and he will die as soon as he dies. Anyway, he is useless and the benefits are at hand. , not a pity at all!

The fifteenth mother of the Tao family, this person's choice...is also quite interesting.

His uncle's rank is indeed higher, and his parents and aunts can't compare.

Cui Zheng saw that Cui Yu was obediently still, thinking that he was frightened, and stroked his beard in satisfaction: "Now pack up and go home with uncle."

Look, there are benefits to be found, so I sincerely want to invite him to come home.

Cui Mata laughed inwardly.He is a very heartless person. Others treat him very well. When he sees and feels it, he treats each other sincerely. He never takes the initiative to treat others well.Others were not sincere to him, and even tricked him with tricky words... Ha ha.

"Uncle said that the fifteenth mother of the Tao family is a lady of every family, and she looks very beautiful?"

Cui Zheng nodded immediately when he saw that there was a door: "Everything is outstanding."

"Okay, this marriage can be discussed." After talking, he can clearly see who is messing with him behind his back. "But it will be inconvenient to go back to your house. I mentioned to my uncle that my grandmother will bring the whole family with me." When you arrive in Luoyang, let me buy a house, I have already bought this house, and it is currently being repaired, and you can’t leave people everywhere, you ask me everywhere, buy materials and pay the bills, and you have to look for me at any time, it’s really inconvenient to live in the uncle’s house.”

Xu Shi's word "checkout" pierced Cui Zheng's heart, and he stopped insisting: "Well, that's it, don't think about anything else, just concentrate on what you are doing, and uncle will help you with everything else."

At the end, he patted Cui Yu on the shoulder, and said with sincerity and heart, he was very pleased: "You have grown up and become sensible, and you can contribute to the family... There are successors in our Cui family, and this year we worship our ancestors, so we need to talk about you! "

"Uncle is serious."

"The uncle is leaving now. In the future, when the fifteenth mother of the Tao family comes over, you have to treat her well."

Cui Yu smiled and said, "This marriage has to be done."

Looking at Cui Zhengyuan's back, Cui Yu's smile gradually faded away, he was too busy to waste time with Cui Zhengdou.At most one month, my grandmother will bring everyone to Luoyang. The people in Yicheng, including his biological father and aunt, have already been turned into quail by him. It is enough for these people to deal with Cui Zheng. His time and energy need to be more focused. things...

I didn't expect that there were already people staring at him, and he had to pay more attention to things in the future.

Turning around to close the door, just as he walked into the room, he was slammed by a black shadow.

The force was so strong that he couldn't bear to take a few steps back and stuck to the wall, his back hurting.

"Yang Xuan—what are you doing!"

He was instantly annoyed: "You don't know what's going on today? The palace sees you so closely, but you still dare to come out, what will you do if you are found out!"

That's all for the time being, Concubine Tian Gui has countless plans to hold a banquet today, and she can't relax even for a moment, even if Concubine Tian Gui didn't hold a banquet, he has already told her that the timing is not right recently, let Yang Xuan come out less, this brat He didn't listen!

It's been too long to indulge, have you forgotten what is the most important thing!

"What were you doing just now? Huh?"

The voice slid past the ear, carrying infinite ferocity and coldness, Yang Xuan was also angry!

He has gone through so many things today, the crazy woman in the palace kept coming out again and again, he managed to block it smoothly, and didn't suffer much, especially three women in succession, he refused them all!

After confirming his safety, he wanted to come out and complain to Cui Yu, but he felt wronged, and let Cui Yu praise him by the way, but what about Cui Yu?But when he was not around, he promised others that he would kiss her!

engagement?And the fifteenth mother of the Tao family?

Where did this woman come from? When did she meet Cui Yu? Was Cui Yu moved?

Yang Xuan hugged Cui Yu hard, his eyes were angry, his lips were tightly pursed, and his face was full of: Explain to me!

Cui Yu felt the pain from the bump on his back first, and then his shoulder was about to be scratched off. He felt that this brat really deserved a beating. He didn't reflect on what he had done wrong and didn't admit it, so he even vented his anger on him!

After all, he was an adult. Cui Yu was much more mature than Yang Xuan. He endured and endured, and asked Yang Xuan softly, "What's wrong? But you got angry in the palace? Tell me, okay?"

Yang Xuan became even more angry.

He actually avoided the important and changed the subject!Is it that unimportant that he cares?

"I, think, listen, you, say."

This sentence seemed to be said through gritted teeth, which shows its hostility.

Cui Yu was really angry now, and said coldly, "Yang Xuan, why are you crazy! Do you know that it is dangerous for you to appear here now!"

"You think I won't come, so you get engaged behind my back? Huh?"

"What do you order with someone—" Cui Yu suddenly understood, it turned out that Yang Xuan had heard the conversation he had just had with Cui Zheng.There is nothing wrong with that, he laughed, "I just—"

He wants to admit it!

He also laughed!

Yang Xuan's heart was beating wildly, he didn't want to hear anything he didn't want to accept, so he subconsciously hugged Cui Yu tightly, and kissed him hard on the lips.His hands were not idle, he tore off Cui Yu's clothes and rubbed them vigorously. After a short sweep, he grabbed Cui Yu's waist, tipped his toes, threw Cui Yu on the bed, tore off his clothes and pressed them on.

All actions are unprecedentedly domineering, tough and plundering, almost tender.

Just like the days and nights that Cui Yu experienced in his previous life.

Cui Yu couldn't bear it, he bit the tip of Yang Xuan's tongue hard, blood gushed out almost immediately, the sweet and fishy taste filled his lips and teeth, the two of them ate together.

Cui Yu pushed Yang Xuan away fiercely: "Do you even know what you are doing?"

Yang Xuan's eyes shot out a ball of flames, like a little wolf, pressing on Cui Yu's body again: "Sleep with you!"

With a "slap", Cui Yu slapped him across the face: "Calm down!"

Yang Xuan squinted her eyes, her sight was even more dangerous.

The two confronted each other for a long time, Cui Yu felt that Yang Xuan should calm down, and tried his best to speak slowly: "Listen to me, I didn't talk to the fifteenth mother of the Tao family—"

"I don't want to hear it!"

Yang Xuan let go of Cui Yu rudely, not knowing whether he was still angry with Cui Yu, or angry with himself after regaining his senses, jumped out of the window and left without saying a word.

Cui Yu was angry and anxious, and quickly called Mu Tong: "Go and let the hidden guards see if he has returned to the palace. If he hasn't returned to the palace, he must be forced to return to the palace!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Mu Tong leave, Cui Yu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Yang Xuan's impulsive temperament must be changed!If you can't change it, how can you not be afraid and calm in the face of danger, how can you sit in that position calmly!

But after hearing one or two sentences, he became so jealous that he couldn't even listen to the explanation, why is he so angry!

The fifteen mothers of the Tao family...

He was already in love with Yang Xuan, how could he marry a strange woman?He just wanted to follow Cui Zheng's words and see who was doing the tricks, and that fifteen mother--if she didn't live to celebrate the New Year this year, she would die of sudden illness.

That brat, when will he grow a little brain...

When Mu Tong came back, he told Cui Mata that the prince had returned to the palace, Cui Mata's eyebrows relaxed slightly, but his heart did not let go.

"What did Yang Xuan go through today?" There must be a reason for her sudden abnormality.

Mu Tong didn't know, so he found the dark guard Yichen, who happened to have just received all the news, and told Cui Yu in detail.

After hearing this, Cui Yu sneered: "This Concubine Tian is really deceiving people!" Seeing that Yang Xuan has no backing, she is so angry!As long as Yang Xuan's heart is softer, he will be injured completely!

The brat I chose, I have to admit it even when I cry.

Knowing the reason, Cui Yu didn't blame Yang Xuan, and thought about what he just heard.In terms of conspiracies and tricks, he has always been more mature than Yang Xuan, and he immediately saw through Tian Guifei's plans.

The brat was impulsive, his anger came and went quickly, and he probably should have regretted it after a while, but this palace still can't come in and out like this in recent days...

Cui Yu thought for a while, and didn't plan to go to sleep anymore, so he stretched his arms and sat on the chair: "Prepare paper and pen!"

The author has something to say:

Prince Xiong: The fifteenth mother of the Tao family is as tall as I am, as strong as I am, as bearish as I am, and as beautiful as me! (??ω??)

Mata beauty: Calm down and listen to my explanation. (⊙v⊙)

Prince Xiong: I don’t listen, I don’t listen, I don’t listen——╭(╯^╰)╮

Little Tiger: The Tiger King quietly watched you die. <(￣▽￣)>
