Bastards

In Wang Ji's courtyard, Wang Shiba Niang is accompanying Wang Ji.

Shiba Niang is Wang Fu's direct granddaughter. Because the two families separated, they don't live together, but they are of the same clan, and there is no enmity. They still have a lot of contacts on weekdays.This time Wang Duo held a birthday banquet for his father, and so many things happened one after another, Wang Fu's family must also help, and Wang Shibaniang lived here temporarily with his mother.

Mother is very capable, daughter, because there are not many things to do in the boudoir, so I am busy looking for things by myself.Wang Shibaniang has liked Wang Duo since she was a child, and she doesn't know why, she doesn't spend much time together, but her relationship is very good, every time she comes back to Wang's house, she has to pester this elder brother.

This time the incident was so big, and her brother was ill again, she was worried, she didn't do anything else, and came to accompany Wang Ji sooner or later, worrying about his body, his food, his medicine...

After staying for a few days, she almost helped Wang Ji cut out a new suit.

The movement outside is getting bigger and bigger, the atmosphere of the Wang family is getting more and more dignified, the faces of the guards are getting more and more dignified, and the people below want to walk on tiptoes, how could the masters in the courtyard not know?

Not to mention how many times the ladies in the inner house fought and turned their minds, even Wang Shibaniang looked at Wang Ji cautiously.

"Brother," Wang Shibaniang brought a bowl of soup from the kitchen and put it in front of Wang Ji, her voice was soft and soft, as if she was afraid to scare him, "Don't worry, uncle and grandpa won't look at you like this If it’s messy, you have to make up your mind to solve it.”

Wang Ji rubbed his sister's head, his eyes were dark and bright: "I'm not afraid, but you are."

Wang Shibaniang saw that there was no gloomy look on his face, so she breathed out, and avoided his hand in disgust: "I finally asked Qiao Ya to comb the flying fairy bun, don't let me loose it!"

Wang Ji was stunned.

Ever since the incident between him and Yang Xu was exposed, everyone in the family, regardless of the master or servant, always had a different attitude, but this younger sister...

In this family, after all, there is still one who treats him the same as before, no difference at all.

Seeing him stunned, Wang Shibaniang thought he was sad, she moved her head over silently, and put his hands on her hair: "...you should rub it." It fell apart after a while, and it will be done after a while.

"Hahaha——" Wang Ji suddenly laughed out loud.

Wang Shibaniang hurriedly patted him on the back: "Brother, don't scare me, your voice is choking, and you still dare to laugh like that? Stop laughing..." Could it be that this brother finally couldn't stand it and went crazy?Wang Shiniang nearly shed tears from fright.

Wang Ji wiped away the physiological tears from the corners of his eyes. Looking at Wang Shibaniang's stupid and cute appearance, he still couldn't hold back. He stopped laughing for a while before he stopped: "Don't worry, I heard something wrong early in the morning. I have prepared a good medicine, I can speak today without any problem, and I will not show up until dawn tomorrow, just like usual."

"I'm relieved..." Wang Shibaniang rubbed her chest, and suddenly felt that this was wrong, "What is showing your body, you are like a monster." She gave Wang Ji a white look, and asked again, "Is the medicine okay?"

Wang Jiqu patted her forehead: "Your brother's ability, can't you believe it?"

"Xinxinxin!" Wang Shibaniang rubbed her forehead and retreated, "You are the best!"

The two looked at each other, you looked at me and I looked at you, and at the same time laughed with a "poof", the atmosphere was very light.

a long time.

The sounds from the street outside came into the yard, getting more and more excited and louder.

Wang Ji looked at the golden fallen leaves on the ground, and said softly, "What's going on outside...does Auntie know?"

Wang Shibaniang paused: "Grandpa has spoken, and he will not let anyone reveal the news."

Wang Ji let out a "huh", don't let people spread the word, so my aunt won't know?Grandpa still underestimates aunt too much.

But regardless of whether the aunt knew it or not, this matter had to be resolved by himself.

Wang Ji stood up.

Wang Shibaniang saw that his expression was different, and asked softly, "Brother, are you going out?"

Wang Ji looked back at her: "Are you afraid of me going out?"

Wang Shibaniang looked a little complicated.

Wang Ji lowered his eyes: "You don't agree with my matter."

"No," Wang Shibaniang shook her head, her expression was very firm, "As long as you have true feelings for each other and don't hurt others, you deserve to be blessed, even if you are different from others!"

Unexpectedly, she thought of Cui Yu who had helped her before, and the mysterious man beside Cui Yu... The picture of them standing together was so harmonious and beautiful, so happy, she thought her brother could do the same!Staying together is the most important thing, isn't it?

It's just—she pursed her lips: "There are so many people outside, you don't know martial arts, and you're still sick, don't get hurt again..."

Wang Ji stroked his younger sister's smooth hair, and asked with a smile, "Didn't you still get into trouble with your marriage before?"

"I'm different," Wang Shibaniang blushed a little, "I was afraid at the time, and I was very confused about the future life, so I subconsciously found reasons to avoid it, but in fact, I still like it... um, anyway, anyway, In the end, I was going to marry that one, not because of the pressure of what my uncle said about 'women are the same'."

"Well, who is who? They have names." Wang Ji teased her.

Wang Shibaniang turned her face away: "It's like this anyway!" She changed the subject with a tigery face, "It's not that I said, Grandpa Uncle is a bit too much, our aristocratic family is proud of ourselves, even after hundreds of years of wars, it consumes too much , It’s not comparable to before, and we need to find a new direction to develop, but this direction shouldn’t be like this, suppressing the younger generation of my family... Fortunately, my grandfather is enlightened.”

"My grandfather said that the juniors in the family, as long as they are talented, regardless of gender, he will value them. As long as they can pass his test, he will dare to hold them high. It's a pity that my qualifications are not good, I have no talent..."

With Wang Shibaniang chatting lively, Wang Ji felt more and more relaxed, and gradually felt that it was actually no big deal.I am always on tenterhooks, afraid that this day will come, and I have made too many preparations for it. In fact, it may be the same. One day of trouble will pass, why should I be afraid?

He took out his clothes from the closet and went around behind the screen to change. When he came out, Wang Shibaniang was still chirping.

He walked over: "for the last time, help me arrange my clothes."

Wang Shibaniang rolled his eyes at him, stepped forward to help him adjust his collar belt, and criticized him: "Brother, what you said is wrong, what do you mean by the last? No matter where you are, how many achievements you have or how many names you have Is it all my brother? When I get married, you have to add makeup. When I give birth to a child, you have to give a gift. When I celebrate my birthday, you have to have a gift. During the four seasons and eight festivals, you have to remember me, even if one day I You have to go west with a crane, you have to have a road sacrifice, I will not be happy if it is not grand..."

As she spoke, her voice trembled a little, she finally wiped her eyes, looked up at Wang Ji, and said fiercely and threateningly: "I don't care anyway, who told you that you are my brother? Since you recognize my sister, you will be married forever." You can't talk about things that don't count!"

Wang Ji's eyes were a little hot, he lowered his head, paused and said: "It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay, she knows how to make money for her husband's family so soon."

Wang Shibaniang was annoyed and pushed him: "Brother——"

"Don't worry, I will be your brother for the rest of my life." Wang Ji hugged Wang Shibaniang.

Wang Shibaniang cried: "Brother..."

"Our Shibaniang is so good, of course I, as the elder brother, have to support Shibaniang," Wang Ji patted her on the back, "No one can bully Shibaniang, Shibaniang should be happy and happy together of a lifetime."

"elder brother……"

"Okay, I should go." Wang Ji helped Wang Shibaniang to stand up. "You girl, you look stupid, but you are actually very smart. Some words are the same as what my aunt said."

Wang Shibaniang stopped crying immediately, her eyes were wide open, her face puffed up, her eyes were full of excitement: "Really? Can I really say the same thing as my aunt?"

Wang Ji smiled, hummed, turned and walked out.

Wang Shibaniang smiled stupidly: "So I'm so talented too? I'm very qualified!"

The messenger just arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Wang Ji smiled and nodded at him, and walked out slowly step by step.

There are fallen leaves under your feet, the sound of the wind in your ears, and the most familiar scenery of the Wang family in front of you... All these, I'm afraid I will never see them again.

When he walked out of the outer courtyard, he glanced at the direction of the family temple in the northwest corner, raised the corner of his robe, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

My aunt's face, my aunt's wisdom, my aunt's precepts and deeds, my aunt's happy half life... He remembered them all in his heart.

He will live up to his aunt's expectations and live the way he wants!

When he stood up again, Wang Ji strode forward, the wind blew the corners of his robe, and brushed his hair, the son of the family, walk upright and sit upright, as humble and elegant as jade!His back is straight, like a green pine, like a green bamboo, and his temperament is like a rainbow!

Wang Shibaniang was worried, and slipped out quietly to stay behind. Seeing this scene, she wiped her eyes, and was wary of people everywhere, and followed all the way to the gate.

……

Wang Ji walked out of the gate of Wang's house, looked up, and was the first to see Yang Xu.

Yang Xu's face was sad, and his eyes were bloody, as if he had been suppressing it all the time, and he was on the verge of going crazy at any time. The two of them looked at each other, and then they calmed down a little.

There was a sea of ​​people at the scene, and there was no end in sight, and everyone looked at him with scrutiny and expectation.

The prince stood beside Yang Zhao, smiling at him behind his back, the king of Yue was far away from the prince, and looked at him with a bit of arrogance.

The coffin of Prince Ying was parked in front of the door. When Wang Ji looked over, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

As for my grandfather, he was so angry that his always smooth beard was a little messy.

Everyone, everyone present is waiting for him to express his opinion.

Wang Duo lowered his eyebrows, picked up his robe, went up, knelt down in front of Wang Duo, and kowtowed three times: "Unfilial son Wang Ji, thank you grandfather for your kindness."

Xie Shengen?

Wang Duo frowned, and immediately became furious: "You want to quit the Wang family!"

"Retreat or not retreat, what is the difference to me?" Wang Ji's eyes drooped slightly, his voice was hoarse, and his words were short, but they seemed to contain thousands of hidden meanings.

Wang Duo couldn't help but took two steps back as if under a heavy hammer.

Yes, to retreat or not to retreat, to Wang Ji, what's the difference?

For so many years, Wang Ji has been raised by Wang Wu. All the expenses are useless to the Wang family. All the resources and connections are also earned by themselves. The Wang family did not help. A lot of people came and brought a lot of benefits to the Wang family.

Although Wang Ji didn't show much literary talents, didn't go into official career, and looked very ordinary and obedient, but in fact he didn't really need the Wang family, but the Wang family needed him.

For so many years, he has watched everything in the Wang family coldly, ignoring, not caring, not asking, not arguing, because he didn't want to, if Wang Wu, who is so kind to him, was still in the Wang family, he might have left a long time ago...

So, his grandfather, what reason does he have to pick on him?

But since ancient times, the family is the biggest!

Wang Duo looked at Wang Ji and was very distressed: "To you, the Wang family is really so unimportant? Is this family background really so dispensable? Your blood relatives and the strength to support you are all here! "

"I understand what grandfather means. The bloodline is unbroken." Wang Ji looked at the ground, his voice was very soft, "But how many people are under the same bloodline? Everyone likes me and supports me. Does grandfather think it is possible? "

Wang Duo's eyes closed slightly, not talking about other families, only his own family, all kinds of interests are entangled, Wang Ji is also a legitimate son, often not at home, there are too many people who don't like him, the only ones who like him are probably only Wang Wu, and a few neighbors house grandchildren.

"Love is based on knowing each other and getting along with each other for a long time. Those who like me and think I'm important don't care where I am and whether my name is on the genealogy. Those who don't like me or hate me don't care about the genealogy. Whether there is my name or not, maybe not, and they are relieved, and they may not necessarily like me."

"As my grandfather said, the blood is unbroken. Whether I am in the royal family tree or not, I am both your grandson and born in the royal family. This fact will not change. I can't just stand by and watch when the Wang family has something to do. The relationship is also unstoppable. , no matter who I am, where I am, who likes me, who treats me well, I will also repay them.”

"So you see, in fact, whether I go or not, to me, nothing has changed. To others, I may be happier and better... What does grandpa think?"

Wang Duo didn't speak.

The old man Xie Yan was very happy, and took the lead in clapping his hands and praised: "Grandson is right! Grandfather will support you today. Whatever you want to do, do it boldly! Even if you want to break through the sky, grandfather will help you!"

Wang Ji's eyes were a little red, and he kowtowed to Xie Yan: "Wang Ji thanked my grandfather...I will be fine, grandfather don't worry."

Xie Yan waved his hand: "So why are you being so polite? Don't be afraid, old man Wang Duo wants to bully you, so you can change your surname to Xie and enter my Xie family tree! My Xie family is not worse than his Wang family, and it is also a family hahaha——"

Wang Duo's face turned dark.

Is there such a robbery!

Even so, Wang Duo still did not make a clear statement.

Wang Ji didn't wait any longer, stood up, walked to Prince Ying's coffin, lifted his robe, knelt down, and kowtowed——

"You are the general I admire the most. Before the border crossing, you laughed and asked me to make a few jars of tiger bone wine for you. I didn't expect that goodbye would be forever... I'm sorry for you. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't meeting--"

Wang Ji couldn't help it anymore, his voice choked up: "Originally... I knew you objected, and I didn't want you to be sad. I wanted to end this relationship with Yang Xu, but today you are doing this for me, so I am not afraid anymore! "

"People in the world don't understand, strange eyes from outsiders, even scolding, are nothing to me. I had smallpox when I was young, and I was an abandoned person. I have grown up to this day, and it is all given by my aunt. My aunt once said that affection cannot It's a matter of calculation, if you have to weigh the weight and make it clear, she doesn't owe the Wang family half a penny, and neither do I!"

This remark won the applause of the crowd.

"That's right, those words are grand!"

"Love is based on love. You love me and help me, and I love you and help you. How can you understand it? Who do you look down on!"

"Weighing the two must be borrowed and repaid. That is money, and it is profit!"

"This Wang family is too bullying! The family is amazing!"

"That's right! 300 years ago, your family had a high family, and we ordinary people had to worship you like an emperor. Now that the world has been in chaos for so long, how much confidence does your family have, let alone money, do you still have the trilogy! Ancestors Except for face, besides etiquette poems and books, how much is left of that little thing in my life!"

"Who do you think you care about your home!"

The crown prince was the first to speak: "If Wang Duo insists on chasing Wang Ji out of the genealogy, he will only agree to the beauty of adulthood. If he agrees to this move, Wang Ji will no longer be a member of the Wang family from today onwards!"

King Yue didn't take the lead, he was a little unhappy, but he was the second to express his opinion: "This king also agrees!"

Xie Yan, as the head of the 'Other Aristocratic Families', also expressed his opinion: "This old man agrees even more, very much, very much!"

Yang Zhao waved his arm: "I agree!" He said while bumping his elder brother's arm.

Yang Xu's voice trembled a little: "I agree!"

One by one, the people raised their arms and shouted: "I agree!"

"I agree!"

"we agree!"

Even Wang Shibaniang, who was hiding behind the wall and only dared to climb the ladder to look out once in a while, blushed and almost shouted along with her...

For a moment, the sound seemed to be wrapped in a huge wave, smashing like mountains and seas. Wang Duo couldn't stand up because of the smashing, so he didn't make a fool of himself just now.

First, Prince Ying committed suicide in a fit of anger, and was forced to morgue in front of his door, and then the people forced him, Xie Yan was in chaos, the prince came in person, and even the case of Wang Jie was found out. With such a noble family, Wang Ji gave up as soon as he said...

Everything is different from what he imagined.

so different!

Is he really wrong?

The mistake was too outrageous, so he committed the anger of the public, and this is what happened today. Everyone stood together to condemn him?

If that's the case...how much he has lost face to the Wang family!

Up to now, it is no longer that he said no, everyone is angry. If he doesn't do it, let alone today's things can't be good, and everyone in the Wang family will not go out in the future.

So... He had no choice but to bite the bullet and do as he said before.

If Wang Ji is expelled from the Wang family, the Wang family will not participate in his life-and-death marriage!

Wang Ji kowtowed in front of Wang Duo, "Thank you... grandpa."

Yang Zhao had a chance at this time, he pushed Yang Xu hard, and his eyes almost twitched: Go help!

Yang Xu stepped forward, helped Wang Ji, held his hand, and stood beside Prince Ying's coffin.

Seeing the remains of the old man, Wang Ji felt sore. If it wasn't for him, the old man would be fine...

Before he could feel so sad, the prince spoke again.

"Okay, let's finish this matter, let's talk about Wang Wu next." Yang Xuan stood in front of Wang Duo, "The old man is like this, do you want to invite the aunt from the temple in your mansion to meet? "

Wang Duo thought that the matter was finally over after such a fuss today, so he let go of all his strength and leaned on the servant, he almost didn't explode when he heard these words: "B-what-what!"

Every word seemed to burst out from between the teeth, full of unwillingness and anger.

Don't try to blackmail him again!That old man is willing to die, it doesn't count if he cheated a grandson, but he still wants to cheat Wang Wu?There are no doors!

Yang Xuan sighed: "This is because you are being unreasonable."

Wang Duo glared at him: "Why is this old man so unreasonable!"

Yang Xuan spread his hands: "Look, you insist on saying that your grandson Wang Jie died because of Yang Xu, and the Prince Ying's family owes you a life, so you can't promise about Wang Ji and Yang Xu—"

"This is not what the old man said, everyone outside said that!"

"Well, you didn't spread the word," Yang Xuan said in a tone of resignation as if trying to appease the bad-tempered child, "But you always believed it, didn't you say that when you quarreled with Prince Ying yesterday?"

Wang Duo was silent, he said this.

"The old man had a bad fight with you, and in a fit of anger, he returned his life with his life. He wanted you to hand over Wang Ji, but the problem now is that Wang Jie's death has nothing to do with the old man." Yang Xuan looked at Wang Duo, "The old man apologized." If you die, what will you pay for it?"

Wang Duo stared at Yang Xuan, his eyes were full of anger.

"You are the Patriarch of the Wang family. You are highly respected. You are also very old. You are a junior. It is hard to say anything, but you will lose your life. It is not too much to ask your aunt to come out and see you."

Wang Duo stiffened his neck: "Impossible! Give up!"

Yang Xuan looked at him with pity: "Why are you bothering? Are you really happy to stop other people's marriage over and over again?"

Wang Duo stared at him, but didn't speak.

Yang Xuan continued: "Gu but I heard that Wang Wu did swear back then that for the sake of your royal family's face, she would never marry until she died, and she would never see Prince Ying again unless Yin and Yang were separated. Now Prince Ying's coffin is in the Now wait, should your aunt Wang also fulfill the oath?"

Wang Duo's first reaction was that this matter was sealed to death, how could the crown prince know!

The second reaction is not to admit that he has lost his mind after experiencing too much today!

"Where did the prince make up nonsense, my Wang family, but nothing like this has ever happened!"

Yang Xuan's eyebrows were slanted, a gloomy black color floated under his eyes, and the corner of his lips smiled ironically: "You are really forgetful... There are gods standing three feet above your head, and vows are all eloquent. You are not afraid of deceiving people like this." retribution?"

Wang Duo: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods! I don't believe in fate!"

Yang Xuan put his hand on his chin, and looked worried: "This is really difficult, where can I find a living god, and I will show you some skills on the spot, so that you can believe it?"

The power of the common people is powerful, and immediately someone slapped their thighs: "Yes!"

"That Cui Banxian with the white tiger, was here just now!"

"Quick, look for it! Where is Banxian now!"
