Bastards

When Lan Qiao helped the two of them walk down the mountain road, Cui Yu personally stood outside the car to greet them.

The afternoon sun was scorching, as if there were sparks in it, and it was unbearably hot. For a moment, Cui Yu couldn't bear it, and regretted standing up so early in order to show his sincerity.He felt stuffy in the car, and it was uncomfortable to sweat all over, but he didn't know until he came out...he would rather sweat all over.

The two walking towards him were even more embarrassed than him.

Both of them looked very young, like Cui Yu, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and their clothes were not bad. One silver satin brocade, with complicated eight-treasure patterns embroidered on the cuffs and corners, the style was more ornate and rich; Silk, simply woven with the dark pine needle pattern of the same color, takes the elegant temperament route.It's a pity that no matter how good the clothes are, they can't stand the disaster. The two of them seem to have rolled in the mud. Except for the front chest and neckline, the background color can be seen, the rest of the clothes... It's really horrible, the splendor is gone, and the wrinkles are gone. It was sticky like dried pickles, sticking to their bodies, making the supposedly vigorous youth look like a dirty kitten.

The little tiger came out to look for Cui Yu: "Meow..."

Cui Mata looked at it seriously and taught him seriously: "You are a tiger, so you can't meow."

The little tiger touched Cui Mata's palm, as if feeling very comfortable: "Meow..." This time the cry was more affectionate and coquettish.

Cui Yu sighed, and tapped its forehead: "Come on, call it whatever you like."

The mountain road was a bit far away, and after a while, the three of them came to the front.

Cui Yu smiled, and bowed his hands in a salute: "It's fate to meet by chance, I should have greeted you personally, but I didn't live up to my expectations, you two don't take offense."

He stood in the sun, compared to Fan Xie and the two, he was just sweating slightly, his clothes were clean, his person was clean, his eyebrows were handsome, his temperament was clear, his slightly sweaty face didn't feel sticky or greasy at all, on the contrary, his complexion was moist and crystal clear , even the scarlet color on the cheeks dyed by the sun is more vivid.

Fan Xie and the two were slightly taken aback.

Cui Yu's smile became even more warm: "Cui Yu, there are six in my family, I don't know two..."

"My name is Fan Lingxiu. I have only one son in my family. His name is Xie Cong, and he is nineteenth. We are all from Chang'an. This trip is about to go home. Your name is Cui Liu...you look so good-looking!" The young master came to his senses first, introduced himself happily, and by the way introduced himself with the people around him.

Cui Yan looked at the rich young man with a smile. His eyebrows were thin and his eyes were long, his lips were red and his teeth were white.Before seeing the carriage kept getting angry, and he was not very polite to Lan Qiao when he walked over from a distance, but now seeing him so enthusiastic and lively, talking quickly... This person is probably also a face control.

"Fan Lingxiu, please stop talking. Brother Cui hurts his leg and feels uncomfortable." This time, the person who spoke was an elegant young man with a high forehead and bright eyes, with a smug anger, holding a big burden in his arms, frowning slightly, I don't know if it's because I'm worried about my own affairs, or because I can't bear Cui Mata's persistence.

Yes, he noticed that although Cui Yu's posture was straight when he spoke, his center of gravity was only on one leg. When he walked towards them, he swayed slightly, his face could not hide the pain, and he guessed that it was not as simple as his body failing .

Of course, this is intentionally shown by Cui Yu, one is to see the observation ability of the two, and the other is to complement his image of "noble, helpful and warm-hearted".How can a truly kind gentleman not be greeted far away? He cannot be greeted because of his body.

"Cui Liu is not feeling well?" Fan Lingxiu was quite familiar, "Then why are you standing there, get in the car!"

Xie Cong: ...I really don't want to know this person.

Looking at Cui Yu, Xie Cong's expression was slightly stiff: "Brother Fan is just straightforward, and he didn't intend to offend..."

Cui Yu didn't mind, and pulled the carriage curtain himself: "It's cheaper for us to meet young people, thank you, brother." Both of them had sunburned faces, chapped lips, disheveled hair, longing when they looked at the carriage. Eager eyes... He guessed that Xie Cong actually wished he could get in the car and rest now.

While getting into the car, Fan Lingxiu rolled his eyes at Xie Cong: "It's your fault." The young master won't thank you!

Xie Cong: ...

Cui Yu's eyes slowly slid past the two of them, and pointed to Yang Xuan in the car: "I am traveling with my father to Yicheng County, and my cousin is accompanying me, but it rained heavily, so I separated from my father... Now I have to go first." Chang'an. This is my cousin, surnamed Sha, Xing San."

Yang Xuan's black pupils turned slightly, and he looked at Cui Yu with a very meaningful expression.Cui Yu...has a gentle complexion, as immobile as a mountain.Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows, with a slight smile in his eyes, and glanced at Fan Xie and the two as a greeting.

Fan Lingxiu looked at Yang Xuan, then at Cui Yu, his eyes became brighter: "Your family members are all very good-looking!"

Xie Cong... Xie Cong closed his eyes and didn't look at Fan Lingxiu. He greeted Yang Xuan with a strong smile, "Brother Sha, I'm sorry to bother you."

Knowing that Yang Xuan didn't want to talk, Cui Yu continued to take up the conversation: "I heard from my boy that the two of you lost all your belongings in the mudfall? I still have some clothes and clean water here. If you don't mind..."

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it! Just give me your boy's, and I'll wear it too, it stinks!" Fan Lingxiu saw Xie Cong frowning and hesitating, with a look of not wanting to trouble others too much, dissatisfied, and hit hard He bumped his shoulder, "Didn't you tell me that you couldn't stand the itching anymore? And you're hungry and thirsty? Cui Liu helped us, we have to be grateful and accept it, can we be sincere!"

Unexpectedly, with this collision, Xie Cong's hand was unsteady, and the bag in his hand fell to the ground and collapsed, and pieces of paper flew everywhere.

Fan Lingxiu was even angrier when he saw it: "The young master tried his best to pull you out of the quagmire. You don't want gold, you don't want silver, you hold on to your burden, saying it is more important than your life, and you are just a pile of torn paper!"

This person is fighting against himself!

Xie Cong was so tired that he didn't want to talk to Fan Lingxiu anymore: "This is the latest mansion newspaper that I want to take home. It just came out in Luoyang and not in Chang'an yet. Of course it's important!"

"How can there be so many latest mansion newspapers!"

"There are still my favorites, can't you!"

"You nerd, thank you Nineteen!"

"You bastard Fan Da!"

Cui Yu looked at Yang Xuan, just as Yang Xuan also looked over, the two of them met their eyes and immediately understood each other's hidden meaning.

It doesn't take much, just this little time, this little dialogue, this little emotional expression, they can already get a rough idea of ​​Fan Xie's personality traits.Those who want to hide and those who don't want to hide are still very obvious.

These two people will not pose a security problem.

Cui Yu felt more relaxed, seeing that the two were about to quarrel, he quickly pulled them away: "Brother Fan said, Brother Xie can be more at ease with me, if you ask me for help today, I know I won't ask you for help tomorrow. ?” He opened the curtain and looked outside the car, “There seems to be a forest not far ahead, I asked the boy to stop there, and Sha San and I went down to get some fresh air, you two also change your clothes and eat something, wait Let the heat dissipate a bit, let's start again, okay?"

Xie Cong's face was a little hot, and he cupped his hands in thanks: "So, brother Cui."

"No problem." Cui Yu bent down to help pick up the newspapers in the mansion, his brows and eyes paused slightly, and when he spoke again, his voice was more gentle, "Speaking of it, the road is long and boring, and I forgot to bring the book with me. Thank you for these mansion newspapers." Brother, would you mind lending me a look?"

"Of course I don't mind. It's all issued by the government. It's not a secret. There are paper and ink shops outside." Shaking his head, Xie Cong took out a few yellowish-colored and slightly hard-textured papers from the pile of papers, and unfolded them, " There is also a map of the vicinity here, Brother Cui can also take a look at it. The road ahead is cut off, we need to take the Wei River, but the best way to go... I don’t know too much.”

Cui Yu took the map with his slender fingers, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Okay."

The carriage wobbled, and when Fan Lingxiu could hardly bear the smell on his body, Lan Qiao finally found a place in the woods to park.Compared with narrow cabins, it is much cooler and more comfortable under the shade of trees.

Cui Yan asked Lan Qiao to find two pieces of his own clothes, borrowed them from Fan Xie, hugged the little tiger and got out of the car with Yang Xuan, fed the little tiger some water, checked Yang Xuan and his wounds, and let Lan Qiao He took out dry food and salty side dishes, soaked two big bowls of light sugar water and Fan Xie, and then sat down with peace of mind.

The conditions are limited, and it is enough sincerity to provide these in a hurry.

Fan Lingxiu ate without raising his head. He never knew that pickles were so delicious, and the light sugar water tasted neither too thick nor too greasy, which unexpectedly suits his appetite!

Xie Cong is also very good. While trying to maintain table manners, his eating speed is not slow at all...

Cui Yu hugged the little tiger and looked at the newspaper in his hand.What he lacks the most right now is information, Xie Cong's mansion report, for him, it is a timely help.

From time immemorial till now, Cui Yan looked at each article, one by one, without raising his head, and he didn't even notice that the little tiger was playing around and chewing on his fingers.

The breeze blows over the boxwood, rustling, Yang Xuan exhales comfortably, narrowing his long and narrow eyes slightly.

Hearing the nondescript meowing of the little tiger, his gaze slowly slid over—Cui Yu's fingers were almost completely wet from licking, revealing moist powder, and the mottled sunlight shone through the cracks in the trees, and the slender fingers seemed to be wet. layered halo...

On such a hot day, holding a long-haired creature, won't he be hot?

Cui Yu's fingertips slowly slid across the latest residence newspaper, and stopped when it reached the middle few lines.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was withdrawn, and the right servant shot the left and right Cheng and sent him to prison.

Below the emperor of this dynasty, the biggest official is the left and right servants, which is equivalent to the prime minister.The two have the same rank, same salary, and no difference in authority, but if you look into the rules, you still respect the left.When it comes to authority, there is a fight over the slightest bit, and the two servants have long been fighting indistinctly.

This time, Zuo Pushe betrayed a minister of the Ministry of Officials, and You Pushe gave up his most caring private secretary.

Looking at the previous report, the two servants were still fighting for the wind, their methods were steady, and they didn't hurt their muscles and bones with real swords and guns. Now... can't help it?

Those in the upper ranks may be peaceful, but once a fight breaks out, they will be turned into clouds and rain, and the bottom will be stormy. Every change may be a trap, and it may also be an opportunity.

For others, it is a trap, but for oneself, there are opportunities everywhere!

It is not an opportunity, but it can also become an opportunity!

Cui Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and the excitement in his heart could not be restrained!
