Bastards

The little uncle was not free that day, he was not at home early in the morning, and he didn't know where to go, so Cui Ying was the only one who accompanied Cui Ying to Prince Ying's mansion.

Cui Yu cleaned himself up with a majestic, heroic posture, more clever and clever, and a fairy spirit lingering around him, with a very compelling aura, which matched the mighty warrior of the Prince Ying's residence.

Because of the beautiful and lovely girl Cui Ying, Cui Yu entered the palace smoothly, and was received in person by the old man, the Prince of England.

"The girl is here."

When the old man saw Cui Ying, he showed a rare smile, the word Chuan between his eyebrows also faded, and his raised eyebrows stretched. He looked no different from the ordinary old man outside.

He also nodded at Cui Mata.

Cui Yu was quite flattered and complicated, and silently glanced at his sister...

Cui Ying bowed in a dignified and gentle manner, smiled slightly, and pointed to Cui Yu to introduce to the old man: "This is the elder brother of the little girl, named Yumata. Because of what happened a few days ago, the elder brother was worried that it would be unsafe for the little girl to go out alone, so he went with him to protect her. "

"Well, I've seen it." Seeing Cui Ying's face, the old man affirmed Cui Yu's character, "It should be so, your brother is very good."

Cui Mata: ...

When you drove him and the little uncle out of the house a few days ago, you didn't think so, old man!

Cui Ying didn't ask when the two met, she raised the food box in her hand, tilted her head slightly, and smiled like a flower: "The thank you I promised you!"

The old man coughed softly with the back of his hand on his nose, turned around and walked in: "Come with me."

The scenery inside the palace... There is really nothing to talk about. Cui Yu and others did not wear flowers and brush willows, but walked one after another similar bluestone paths, hand-painted corridors, and finally came to a courtyard.

Compared with other places, this courtyard is much more beautiful.

There is no size pattern drawn out, nor is there a deliberate design of the sense of height and height, and there are no carefully crafted and selected decorations. Only a garden of Xiangfei bamboo is planted.But the bamboo grove has not been taken care of specially except for cleaning it up, which is quite rustic.There are those who soar into the sky and do not want to fall into the low position, soaring high, standing alone, with a sense of pride that cannot be stopped;

The height of the bamboo has its own style, and it seems to have a rhythm like waves. When the breeze comes, it rustles, which is full of beauty.

"Brother, do you think these bamboos are very beautiful?" Cui Ying looked at Cui Yu, and when Cui Yu nodded, her almond eyes sparkled and her smile shone brightly, "I came to the palace that day, and when I turned here, I fell in love with it immediately This time, the lord must have known that I like it and brought us here again."

The old man moved his fingers behind his back, straightened his waist slightly, and walked faster.

"Hey, where's the pot of camellia?"

Cui Mata: "Camellia?"

"Well, a pot of camellias in flowering period, the petals are soft and jade-like, very beautiful, I remember—" she pointed to the corner of the wall, "it's here."

The old man led people to the teahouse, pointed at the window sill: "Is that what the girl is talking about?"

As soon as Cui Ying saw the camellia, she put the food box in Cui Yu's hand and ran over...

"It's so beautiful!"

Looking at it a few days ago, it was still a little wilting. She was worried that the flower would wither if it didn't survive the flowering period. Now, looking at it, the branches and leaves are strong and neat, the flower shape is elegant, and there are several rounds of double petals. The petals are like jade, and they are full of dew. Thank you!

She leaned closer and smelled it, and her smile grew wider: "It's still very fragrant!"

The old man had already pointed to the table and sat down with Cui Yu first.

Seeing that the old man had a stern face, as if he didn't know how to answer the words, Cui Yu chuckled and beckoned Cui Ying to come over: "Didn't you make a snack for the old prince? Why don't you come over and serve it yourself? There are plenty of flowers." Time to see."

Cui Ying grew up under her grandmother's knees since she was a child, and she knows how to be coquettish and good-looking in front of the elderly. She stuck out her tongue playfully and patted her forehead: "Oh, why did I forget the business!" She walked back quickly, opened the food Box, "I don't know if you like it or not..."

With that said, he took out a plate of snacks.

The plate is made of simple white body fine porcelain, without any pattern, only shallow and round arcs are concaved out of the shape of the vessel, the glaze is delicate, moist and gentle, giving people a more intimate feeling than exquisiteness.

There are six small round snacks arranged irregularly on the disc. The baby's fist is big, round, bulging and fat, and I don't know what is inside.On the surface of the dots, there is a layer of light powder, which smells like fried glutinous rice flour.

The dim sum is white, and the plate is also white, but because each dim sum is underlaid with different colors, the round oily paper with high color saturation does not feel monotonous, but quite interesting.It looks good, smells good, and is very appetizing.

"You made it yourself?" The old man looked at the round and chubby dim sum with soft eyes.

Cui Ying nodded: "I don't know what you like. When I saw this camellia that day, I thought of this snack... Would you like to try it?"

The old man didn't wash his hands, he just took one to taste.

The dim sum has a very different texture, and it is not sticky at all. I think it is due to the layer of glutinous rice flour on the outside, but it does not fall off, and it is very comfortable to hold.When you take a bite, there is also the taste of glutinous rice in the skin, but I don’t know what other ingredients were added to remove the sticky feeling of glutinous rice. The color is transparent and the taste is refreshing. Even people who don’t like sweets will feel comfortable.

The one in his hand is stuffed with red bean paste. The red bean paste is very finely ground, and the length is moderate. The old man squinted his eyes when he ate it.

Seeing him like this, she knew she was satisfied. Cui Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face continued: "Actually, it can be made in different colors, which looks better, but it's a pity that I can't find the materials for a while..."

"Then you can do it when you have the materials."

Cui Ying: ...Okay, I will come to coax you next time.

The dim sum is good, the old man is not so tense, he let go again, and asked casually, what can be said about this dim sum.

Cui Ying was stuck again.

What can you say about dim sum? It’s just for eating!Those who make it can show off their skills, those who eat it feel delicious, and the routine is over, what can I say!

But the old man was waiting for an answer, Cui Ying sighed inwardly, and glanced at her elder brother—with a turn of her mind, there is it!

"As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. Food, for us ordinary people, is a lifetime of life and a lifetime of understanding. I always hear my grandmother mentioning the past, and I think..." Cui Ying began to keep her expression unchanged, " Look at the round skin of this dim sum, just like the sky above our heads, when pinched and wrapped, it contains all kinds of life, all kinds of flavors of life, wrapped in round balls, rolling on the plate, isn't it all The pleasant day that people yearn for?"

The old man lowered his eyes and looked down, as if he was stunned, he even forgot to chew the snacks in his mouth.

After a while, he sighed: "Yes, reunion is happiness." He looked at Cui Ying, his eyes flickered slightly, "Good girl, well said, I will release Yang Zhao tomorrow."

Cui Ying was stunned.

What did she say!Why did he get involved with Yang Zhao again?

But this wave went well, she looked at Cui Yu gratefully.

Still brother is amazing!

Although she has read a lot, and can pass the time to cultivate her sentiments by playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is far from being able to fool people by talking nonsense with her eyes open.If it weren't for the influence of my brother's perennial influence and learning a thing or two, today's hurdles would not be easy!

Although she is a woman, she also has a heart. She wants to be wise and powerful anytime and anywhere, so that people will always appreciate her.

However, the blood of the Prince of England’s family is very unique, and they are afraid of dying of brain cells if they stay together again. Cui Ying smiled and asked: "I wonder if I can meet the housekeeper who accompanied me that day? I have communicated with her before." I have been cooking, and I just have the opportunity today, and I really want to see it with my own eyes."

"What's so difficult about it?" The old man waved his hand and called a little girl to pass the message, "Take her to see Fu Niang."

"Yes." The little girl bowed to Cui Yingfu, "Miss, please come with the maidservant."

Cui Ying quietly gave Cui Yu a look of "seeking good fortune", then turned and ran away with the little maid.

Don't blame my sister for being unkind, who called you a brother?

Alas, being a younger sister is good, especially the sister of a smart brother!

Cui Ying was not satisfied.

……

In the flower hall, Prince Ying looked at Cui Yu, as if he noticed Cui Yu's appearance and clothes, and praised him: "You are very good."

Cui Yu hadn't spoken yet, but the old man added: "Your sister is fine too."

Cui Yu: ...So I still want to praise Cui Ying, he just incidentally?

My younger sister is very nice, gentle and generous, smart and cute, but Cui Yu is very curious about what caught the eyes of the Prince of England.Old man... But who do you remember?

He lowered his eyes, quietly picked up the teacup on the table, and savored it carefully.

The old man's eyes fell on the sky outside the window, and his voice was as far away as his eyes: "Your sister is destined for my palace."

An elder said that an unmarried junior had a destiny with his family... Mostly it was implying marriage.

Cui Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled softly: "There is fate or no fate, fate arises and fate ends, it all comes from the heart. Whether she is destined to be with the palace, not to mention you, the prince, even me as a brother, it doesn't count."

It means that it depends on Cui Ying's own wishes.But in this world, women get married according to their parents' wishes, and the matchmaker's words. How can they make their own decisions? Isn't it up to the elders, fathers and brothers?So what he really means is, disagree.

As for the deeper meaning...

The Prince of England was startled, and laughed out loud: "You are a junior, you have too many eyes."

These words are rare and serious. Although there is a little irony, they give a lot of information.

The bottom of Cui Yu's eyes suddenly shot out a glamorous light, this old man is really not a fool!

The old man seems to act without rules and has a big temper, but he should be a meticulous person. He sees everything about them, but he just doesn't want to pay attention...

Because she likes Cui Ying, a girl, she speaks more sincerely when she talks to Cui Yu, and she also sees Cui Yu's probing thoughts.But he was not afraid of temptation, so he told Cui Yu plainly: he just fell in love with this girl Cui Ying, and wanted to marry her into the mansion for his grandson.

Even if you are a smart person, you don't have to work so hard to speak. Cui Yu still smiled, but his expression was a little more serious: "My sister is still young and has a quick temper. Grandma is always worried that she is ignorant and will cause trouble outside." Unaware."

This time the meaning is much more sincere. Cui Ying's marriage is not decided by anyone. The family attaches great importance to her, and the elders have to see clearly before speaking.

The old man's expression is not so bad this time: "It's true, my two grandsons always give me a headache, and I can't wait to throw them out. Whoever wants it will want it!"

It means that the two grandchildren are chosen by the family?

Cui Yu was a little surprised, it wasn't that he underestimated himself, but that his disciples were not very good, the Prince of Ying was appointed by the late emperor, hereditary, no one in the world was more noble than him except the emperor's family. The partner Yang Zhao is a big favorite, but the grandchildren are also up to them to choose?

How much does the old man like Cui Ying?

Moreover, the words imply that the unspoken rules are so familiar with Mingluo, how can they not understand common affairs, and how can they fail to see Cui Yingfang's random nonsense?

Cui Yan sighed, and began to make up for his sister: "Sister She is about to reach the age of Ji, innocent and innocent, she doesn't know how to think before and after when she speaks, and she always acts inappropriately. The prince is so loving, I really can't afford it."

As soon as this was mentioned, the old man looked at the three chubby dim sum left on the table and smiled.

The brows and eyes of the smile are relaxed, completely from the heart.

"It's rare to have a heart, even if it's a solution, it's with good intentions, this girl is very good."

It means that no matter whether Cui Ying is coaxing, lying or fooling, as long as he is happy, he will eat this way!

"You are her elder brother. It is not easy for a woman to survive, so don't be harsh."

It's also because Cui Mata took too much care!

Cui Mata... What can Cui Mata do? Of course, the effect would be better.

"My silly grandson, thank you and your uncle for taking care of me."

The Prince of England did not apologize for driving the two out of the house that day, but with this sentence, he accepted their affection and reviewed what he did wrong that day.

Cui Yu would never argue with the old man: "Let the sun be pure and kind, and he will have his own blessings. The prince doesn't have to worry about it."

Even if there is a reason for the incident, after getting along, he and his little uncle also like Yang Zhao's bastard temperament, simple and straightforward, very cute.Even if they were not liked by Prince Ying and kicked out, they were not too angry.

Prince Ying was silent for a while, then Fang spoke again: "Huiji will hurt you, you child, being too smart is not a good sign."
