Bastards

However, consolation is consolation. No matter how nice the words are, it is not as good as doing well to make people feel at ease.

Cui Yu smoothed the bear's fur, put on his clothes and got out of bed, lit up the candle, and sat calmly: "Tell me, what's going on."

Yang Xuan also sat down, and Ren woke up to play with the noisy little tiger. His eyes were deep and his voice was low: "My people follow my arrangement, carefully arrange the fishing circles, eliminate them one by one, and finally find out these two. Inner ghost. These two people are not in the same team. Each has its own master. If I hadn’t planned ahead and my subordinates were quick-witted, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to see through! These two people are extremely vigilant and have sold my news to others. When they came to surround and kill 'me', the two seemed to be active, but they didn't go forward. The team realized that the target was wrong, and the two immediately retreated away. In addition, these two people are extremely cunning, and their martial arts are not bad...they were not able to stay."

"Now that the two of them are exposed, they will hide their names and hide from me... I'm not sure who they are, but I must catch them, relieve my hatred, and comfort the soul of the dead!" Having said that, Yang Xuan paused, as if he was thinking about something, finally sighed, and his voice was slightly lowered, "I... have a concubine who really wants to kill me, and a few brothers who think the same, the masters of the two ghosts, There will be no one else but them."

Angry to tell the truth.

Cui Yu glanced at him, and asked without dragging the point of 'family affairs': "So your idea is——"

"Even if they hide, they still want my news, as long as I stand..."

"No." Cui Mata said with contempt of 'I knew you would be short-hearted', "You are the source of the crisis, it's okay to hide here with me now, once you show up in public, you can seduce yourself, don't Speaking of two inner ghosts, I'm afraid your concubine and brothers will find them soon."

"It's useless to expose, understand?" Cui Yu felt angry and couldn't hold back, he patted Yang Xuan's forehead with his fingers.

Yang Xuan...it didn't hurt, but he felt that he was treated like a child again, and he was a little annoyed: "Then what should I do? They are determined to hide and hide, and they will never come out if there is no major event. If I don't show up, how will I catch them! "

"Son, you're still too naive." Cui Yan showed sympathy, and licked Hu Yang Xuan's head like a tiger's fur, "There's more than one way up the mountain, remember? Well, I'll teach you Bar."

Cui Yu stood up, his body was bathed in moonlight, his eyes were shining like stars: "What age are these two? , such as wine, sex, wealth, fame and food, which one is better? Do you have any special hobbies? Do you have any hidden diseases?"

After a series of questions, Yang Xuan was a little dazed. They seemed to want to arrest these two people, not to make friends?

Seeing Yang Xuan's thoughts, Cui Yu couldn't hold back, and rubbed Yang Xuan's head again.This prince who occasionally shows a silly expression... I've never seen it before.And with his growth rate, it is estimated that he will not be seen soon in the future, so it is very worth cherishing.

Yang Xuan's hair is very hard, dense, and shiny black. It belongs to the type that is easy to mess up when it is let loose, and it feels smooth to the touch. Cui Yu is very envious.Based on this sense of satisfaction, Cui Yu didn't provoke the brat any more, but reminded him: "Know the enemy, know the enemy, and win a hundred battles."

Yang Xuan understands this very well, but with this arrest...

"If you can't find the other party, you can create an environment where the other party can come to you."

As soon as Cui Yu's words fell, Yang Xuan's eyes burst into countless sparks, and he suddenly became enlightened.

It was this!

Seeing that Yang Xuan understood, Cui Yu's smile lingered on his lips for a long time: "If a person wants to hide himself, he may restrain his greatest temper and hobbies, but habits can't deceive people. Even if he hides, he will want to hide." Go to a place that suits your habits. Moreover, for those who are insiders, the most important thing is to keep the news sensitive, not knowing the slightest disturbance in the outside world, not to mention that the end will be miserable, and they themselves will also have no idea."

So these two inner ghosts are hiding, but the hiding place must not be some remote countryside, it must be a place where news, big and small, spreads in all directions.Yang Xuan's fishing plan is not far from Chang'an, so there is a high possibility that these two people are near Chang'an.

In order to hide, they may restrain their favorite hobbies, for example, those who are lustful will no longer go to brothels, and those who are fond of gambling will not go to gambling houses, but their nature will not change. When they see big girls and young wives, they still want to take a second look. Gambling is still of interest, and when choosing a place to stay, subconsciously pay attention to these elements.

It would be even better if they have hidden diseases, and it is better to drool over some rare medicine, so that it is easier to induce...

Cui Yu's words implied a lot. The more Yang Xuan thought about it, the brighter his eyes became: "They still think that Chang'an City is too conspicuous. If I don't dare to give up my identity, people who are struggling to survive must not dare to come. So Chang'an is very safe, and they can strike at will! "

"Correct answer." Cui Yu said with a satisfied expression of "a child can be taught".

"I'll go check it out right away!"

Cui Yu reminded with a smile: "The Xie family's autumn banquet is a grand occasion in Chang'an, it will be a good opportunity."

……

So before the autumn banquet, Cui Yu and Yang Xuan added one more thing: the plan to catch the inner ghost.

In Yang Xuan's busy schedule, not only had to be busy with all the planned things, but also had to go to the mountain to find Wang Fu to attend classes every other day or two.

Cui Yu meets and discusses with Xie Wen and Xie Cong countless times every day. If Yang Xuan is not there, if there is something to convey, Cui Yu will convey it in the evening.

Oh, and Xie Shao.

This unlucky boy who is really careless has come to Cui Yu three times, asking him if he has mentioned to Xie Wen what he discussed before.

Cui Yu looked at Xie Shao, wondering why the Xie family's genes were not reflected in this person.For so long, he has been busy with Xie Wen and Xie Cong every day, not to mention the masters of the Xie family, many servants understand that he is helping to organize the autumn banquet, why does Xie Shao know nothing about this stick?This person is working hard to drill upwards, is this how he drills?

However, Xie Shao stared innocently: "Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't you agree that we are all bastards, do you want to help each other?"

Cui Mata: ...so stupid, what kind of bicycle do you need?

But idiots have idiot usages, and if you use them well, there will be unexpected results.

After Cui Yu discussed with Xie Wen and Xie Cong, Xie Wen came forward and agreed to the request of the concubine cousin.But you need to have three chapters of the agreement, what you need to do, what you can't do, and how to deal with what happens, and tell them clearly one by one.

Xie Shao repeatedly nodded.

When the Xie family held an autumn banquet, the whole family had to stand up and entertain guests. The first ones sent out by the juniors were the direct descendants. Even if they were only seven or eight years old, they had to accompany their older brothers and sisters to entertain guests.It's not that there are no concubine children, after all, it is impossible for the guests to be all concubines, but the Xie family has a large population, and there are even more concubines. If you don't have a powerful aunt, talkative and capable father, don't even think about it. Take the lead.

Xie Shao now only wants a chance to stand in front of others, as long as he can show his face, he can do anything!

……

Busy busy, the day of the autumn banquet has arrived.

Before dawn, the servant's room began to get busy, and the mistresses in the backyard also got up early to welcome the annual battle in high spirits. Even the guest house of Cui Yu and Yang Xuan opened early today. The servant sent a large stack of clothes, shoes and socks that had been incensed.

There are a lot of things going on today, so I can't be as casual as before. Xie's family has assigned the two of them personal servants, even if they don't need to wait on them, it is cheap to run errands to pass on a word.

For the convenience of replacement, Xie's family prepared several new clothes in various colors and styles, but most of them are elegant and refined, and they are very temperamental.

Cui Yan chose a scholarly gown of moon-white soft silk for himself, with silver coins at the corners of the lapel and sleeves, and silver embroidery on the hem, the sleeves are slightly wider, and the waist is tied to show off the figure. It is shiny and smooth, and it is also very elegant when you walk around, with a hint of immortality lingering around you.

Yang Xuan chose a hard black shirt and tried it on her upper body. The slightly harder fabric clearly outlined the lines of her shoulders, back, waist, and legs, showing a tiger body and ape arms, and a wolf waist.Although the style is slightly close to the body, the fabric is of good texture and does not affect the movement at all. When walking under the light, the clothes still have a faint light, as if dotted with gold threads underneath, which is very beautiful.

"San Sha is so pretty." Cui Mata praised from the bottom of his heart.

"You're also pretty." Yang Xuan also replied very, very sincerely.

The two teenagers looked at each other and smiled, both of them were unparalleled in Zhilan Yushu, and they were even more dazzling than the sun for a while, so the servants almost avoided...

The Xie family's autumn banquet is prepared in the golden autumn season, which happens to be the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.Although it is a banquet, it is not a simple meal. From morning to night, various preparations are arranged. If the guests want to play from morning to evening, it is not impossible to leave at the end of the month.

At this time, the guests began to come to the door one after another, and the Xie family, big and small, 'waited for it'.

Different guests are received by different hosts.The wives and ladies went directly to the backyard, and Xie's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's boudoir girls warmly entertained them. The respectable gentlemen were led to the elders of the Xie family, and the young ones were greeted by Xie Wen and Xie Cong.If there is a family that comes together, the convoy will follow the concierge to lead them away at the gate, and the female relatives will go to the back house, and the male guests will go to the front courtyard.

The place where the female guests play is set in the garden of the back house, where the fragrance of flowers is everywhere, and the scenery is pleasant. It is separated from the outer courtyard.The reception pattern for male guests is similar to this, although they are all in the outer court, the taller ones and the latter are all occupied by the elders, who can look down at the children at any time.

Fortunately, no matter the garden of the back house or the outer courtyard, the places are very large, and the various scenery partitions are exquisite, ingenious and fascinating.The guests who don't know it look good, and the hosts who know it feel convenient.

Everything is in order.

Cui Mata and the others have different divisions of labor today.

Xie Wen was at the forefront alone, and all the younger generations, as long as they had status, would be brought along and greeted by him personally.Xie Cong took Cui Yu to stand not far from him, helping him divert guests at any time, especially when there were many guests coming in groups.Yang Xuan was not here, but stayed with the older generation according to Wang Fu's request.Master Wang Laoshan has recruited new disciples, and he really wants to show off.Of course, Yang Xuan couldn't hide, he had to watch all directions and listen to all directions at all times. If he saw something and thought of something that needed to be reminded, the errand boy was always there.

The golden autumn sun is shining brightly, and the young masters of the junior generation are also all dressed up and handsome, with high spirits.

Those who are not as good as the Xie family, or have a good relationship with the Xie family, who are in the same camp, naturally and amiably compliment each other with Xie Wen and Xie Cong. Cui Yu's expression was quite peaceful, and he was not rude at all.

Of course, they would be a little surprised when they heard Cui Yu's identity, but then they thought more about it, probably because the Xie family praised someone else's concubine so much, what's so tricky about it?Or did this little bastard have any ability to catch the eyes of the Xie family?

Either way, it's well worth considering.

As for the identity of the bastard of this unknown family... After clarifying these two points, it's not too late to worry about it.

Those who have a delicate relationship with the Xie family need to be more cautious when dealing with them.

Cui Yu also thought that no one would provoke trouble from the very beginning, and he had to enter the door without showing the mountain and showing the water, so that he could act like a demon, right?But he really underestimated the fighting power of the family.

Like a group of guests coming here.

Xie Cong tensed up immediately after seeing the person clearly: "Oh no! Why did they come together!"

Cui Yu really didn't know people very well. He only saw that the people in front of him were dressed in extraordinary clothes and had outstanding postures. Most of them raised their chins. He knew that these people were of good status, but he really didn't know who they were. Recognize: "Who are these people?"

"It's from the Zheng family and the Li family!" Xie Congning frowned, grabbed Cui Yu's arm and ran towards Xie Wen's direction, "Let's go! Let's help brother!"

As soon as Cui Yu heard the two surnames, he knew that he was on guard against big heads today, so he didn't say a word, and walked quickly with Xie Cong.

From the corner of Xie Wen's eyes, he saw the two of them coming, but he didn't object, he kept his arms straight and smiled, waiting for the guests to come.

"Thank you brother! Haha thank you brother! But you know I'm coming, come here to greet you in person?" The speaker was wearing a white robe, with handsome features and a voice like a bell. From top to bottom, from his gait to his smile Words are filled with the word "confidence".

Xie Cong's lips parted slightly: "It's Zheng Sui."

Cui Yu has read the information, so don't be too familiar with this name. This person is probably the eldest son of the Zheng family who was overwhelmed by the Xie family in Chang'an.

"Brother Zheng is as outstanding as ever, if you don't see it with your own eyes, wouldn't it be a loss?" Xie Wen immediately clicked out the word 'with your own eyes', praised the guests, and successfully ignored the implied meaning of 'special trip', after all, he was here Here, we are waiting for every distinguished guest, not Zheng Sui alone.

At the same time, Li Shun, who was not far from Zheng's side, also came over, and beside him was a young man with a splendid temperament and a sense of nobility.It stands to reason that Xie Wen was in front of the door to greet Li Shunye, but now he was talking with Zheng Sui and couldn't get away.

Xie Cong immediately took Cui Yu to meet him, and bowed his hands to salute: "It is a great pleasure to welcome you, Xie's Nineteenth Cong, and I bring my good friend Cui Yu to welcome you all."

Li Shun's eyes slanted: "Xie Nineteen? Who is Cui Yu?"

It is said that a family values ​​appearance, and a marriage also values ​​a woman's virtue, so the younger generation's looks are basically not too bad, but this Li Shun has thick lips, small eyes and a bulbous nose, which is really ugly.If he is willing to be upright, it's fine, his eyes are slanted and his mouth is crooked, it looks really... horrible.

But when the other party asked himself, it was too good not to answer, so Cui Yu stood up and replied in a gentle voice: "I lived in the Cui family in Xiayi City, and now I live in Xie's house."

"The Cui family of Yicheng? Isn't it the Cui family of Qinghe?" Li Shun rolled his eyes, "Then I don't know him."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Cong with a smile that was not a smile: "Xie Nineteen, you Xie's family has a banquet, and there are many people who are qualified to entertain guests. My family has also attended a banquet at the Palace of Yue, so you just bring this thing to entertain you." I?"

Xie Cong's expression changed immediately: "Brother Li, be careful, Cui Yu is my good friend!"

Li Shun snorted coldly, his expression very arrogant.

Cui Yu was not unhappy, he still smiled slightly, and even bowed his hands to Li Shun: "Brother Li's words are true, Xie's family hosted a banquet, and there are indeed quite a few direct descendants sent out to entertain them."

Li Shun sneered, almost pointing to their noses and asking why he was entertained by such a guy, Cui Yu's next sentence had already come.

"The hosts are divided into three, six, and nine grades, and the guests are naturally divided into three, six, and nine grades. A guest like you... Cui is not talented, and his background is not obvious. He has little ability, so I have to entertain you."

Cui Yu was smiling, and his voice was not heavy, but the words he said were much more powerful than pointing his nose and cursing.

Li Shun blushed immediately, and pointed at Xie Cong: "Are you going to let such a person ruin your reputation?"

Xie Cong lowered his eyebrows: "Those who give respect to others will be respected by others. Brother Li, please calm down. My family treats guests sincerely today. If there is any incompetence, please forgive me."

"Good! Good..." Li Shun was about to get angry, when a long and thin hand stretched out beside him, holding his arm, "Young Master Xie Nineteen is right, Brother Li, don't get angry."

This man was wearing a round-neck gown with red brocade and brocade embroidery on a red background. He was very noble, with red lips and pink face, and slender eyes. He was used to squinting when looking at people. The face is full of meaning, and there is even interest flickering in the shallow eyes, as if he is very interested in Cui Yu.

Li Shun, who was about to explode in the next moment, was really caught by him, and his eyes swept Cui Yu fiercely up and down for a week: "Brother Tian, ​​please forgive me, and I will spare you!"

Li Shun is a member of the Li family, and the Li family is obviously interested in the King of Yue, and is a member of the King of Yue. If Li Shun listens to this person so much, then this person's identity... Don't think about it, it must be the mother of the King of Yue, the natal family of the noble concubine Tian, Now Tian Xiang is the most favored.

It's just that meaningful look... Cui Mata's heart turned suddenly, why?

Seeing that the silence had stopped, Xie Cong hurriedly led the two of them in: "Both of you, please—"

Over there, Zheng Sui looked at the excitement here, and clicked his tongue: "Brother Xie, the momentum of your family is getting bigger and bigger!"

Xie Wen's brows were soft, and the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Brother Zheng is ridiculous."

"It's really enviable..." Zheng Sui narrowed his eyes slightly, and fixedly looked at Xie Wen, "You guys, don't be alone, be generous, how about giving up the opportunity to share with everyone?"

This opportunity does not refer to something else, but an opportunity to welcome guests at the door, to represent one's own power and status, and to hold an autumn banquet.

Xie Wen naturally didn't understand the hidden meaning of the words, and smiled slightly: "Why can't I understand Brother Zheng's words? I thought things like opportunities are not given out."

Zheng Sui smiled: "Just pretend!"

Then he raised his sleeves: "I'll go in first, you will compete with me in a while, if I don't beat you today, I won't go home!"

"Brother Zheng, please—"

During this period, the two brothers Xie Wen and Xie Cong looked at each other, and they both felt that today was a lot of pressure.Don't stop at the beginning, there must be something waiting for you later!

But every autumn banquet is not easy, the two brothers are half used to it, and they gave each other a comforting look, turned away, and continued to welcome guests separately.

Cui Yu saw the two brothers' eyes meeting, and his heart turned, and he probably understood why the guests refused to stop from the beginning.

All families have the same interests on the whole, so they must be friendly. When family members meet, they must be very polite. For example, people of Xie Yan's generation cannot be noisy when they meet.But there is competition within the aristocratic family. For some ideas that are not very mature and have not yet been finalized, it is most suitable for young people to charge forward. If they succeed, the older generation will follow up with sophisticated methods and overthrow the opponent. If they fail...it is because the younger generation is young and frivolous and ignorant. Children's business belongs to children's business, adults don't get involved.

Xie Cong took two steps, and whispered to Cui Yu next to him: "You did a good job just now! My grandfather said, we Xie family, no one needs to hold back, if you dare to bully, you will push back. If you are wronged and bullied, it is not me thanking you." The way of home!"

Cui Yu smiled: "Yes."

In fact, he himself dislikes making things worse, and he seldom does so. If he does, he must have a scheming plan in his mind.Of course, he also has the ability to solve the accident perfectly without compromising.Furthermore, today's autumn banquet is his chance to make a name for himself, he is also young, and has the capital to be young and frivolous, no matter how you say it, it is really the worst policy to be wronged.

"Also..." Xie Cong looked around, saw that no guests were approaching at the moment, and whispered to Cui Yu: "The one next to Li Shun just now is called Tian Xiang. Although he looks good, he seems to have a good temperament. In fact, he is the most Dude, he can play with everything, he loves it the most... that, masculinity. He especially likes good-looking boys, I didn't see his eyes just now, you must pay attention to safety today, and your followers can't leave you for a while, you know? "

As if thinking that this topic was a bit too much, Xie Cong blushed a little, but looked at Cui Yu seriously and stubbornly, waiting for his reply.

This kid really cares about himself.

Cui Yu had never heard of Tian Xiang, but Xie Cong reminded him that it was impossible for him to take it seriously: "Don't worry, I will write it down."
