Bastards

This year's Xie Family Autumn Banquet was as usual, smooth and peaceful, with a steady start, a wonderful process, and a perfect ending. Almost all the invited guests got something, and praises were everywhere.The style and taste of the dishes, the shape and arrangement of the tableware, the performances of the ladies, the housewives in the house are all positive, and there are many private inquiries; the game is lively during the banquet, the variety of drinks is delicious, and all the young men said it was fun. Play the games you played that day; I heard that the banquet was organized by the juniors of the Xie family, and the elders of the family master all sighed.

Other people's children are so promising, even a bastard who doesn't know his name is so capable, his own boys should be thrown out to study hard!

As for Lu Xiangqing's death, there was really no splash.

An accident, who can avoid it.Although he had been to the Xie family's autumn banquet that day, it was already early in the morning when he died, and he was drunk and slipped by the river and drowned alone. Don't take the blame.

Except for his parents and family who were in tears for the funeral, no one else had any other thoughts at all. Even the acquaintances on weekdays just wiped their eyes with their fake sleeves and said a few words of comfort.Lu Xiangqing's virtues are known to those who are close to him. His hands are too dark and too ruthless, and he has done too many dirty things. It is not surprising that he died so early. I have never seen his wife crying even though she is fake. , don't you look sad at all?

The only ones who are really sad are white-haired people sending black-haired people's parents.The two old people were really sad, really sad and angry, and felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but they quoted a few times, but no one answered, so they understood and gave up.Then there was the youngest son and the daughter-in-law who comforted her cleverly, pretending to be good and playing well, and the old couple's sadness slowly stopped, and this matter passed like this.

The only person who feels pity about this matter is probably Tian Xiang.

Lu Xiangqing is a very useful person to Tian Xiang. He can always send him all kinds of fresh and tender men who suit his appetite. He has white skin, soft legs and soft eyes. Excited to enjoy.With this ability to train people, he might not be able to find another one in a short time.

But it doesn't matter, for a short time... He no longer wants to play those boring games, he has found someone who is more energetic.

The setting sun was shining at night, the golden light was faint, and the clusters were shining in the grass. Tian Xiang put down the brush, took two steps back, and admired the painting he had just finished.

The beauty in the painting is dressed in a flowing white gown with wide lapels and sleeve corners, dancing without wind, revealing slender fingers and round and lovely bare feet.The beauty sculpted her eyebrows and raised her brows slightly, her watery eyes looked at her angrily, with anger and resentment, a little red mole between her brows, as if gathering all the charms in the world, making people itch.

Tian Xiang chuckled, and reached out to caress the corner of the beauty's eyes: "Cui Yu...you will be mine."

When the servants who came to serve tea saw his smile, their bodies trembled in fright, and the teapot in their hands trembled.His master has gone crazy these days, he doesn't go out to play anymore, and he doesn't touch the 'little things' in the backyard of the house. Seeing that the sky is drawing a boy here, he asks his subordinates to monitor the boy's whereabouts, but he doesn't do anything... It's getting scary!

……

In the side courtyard of Zhang's house in the south of the city, Cui Jiazhen was talking to her mother, Mrs. Zhang.

"Mom, shall we just leave like this and leave Cui Mata alone?"

Zhang is nearly forty years old, her figure and skin when she was a girl in the early years have long since disappeared, and her beauty is gone. Now her figure is slightly plump, her complexion is yellowish, and her only pair of eyes are very good. Although there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, these eyes are round and bright It is black, with dense and long eyelashes, and it is beautiful when it flows, and it can be seen that it was young when it was young.

"What does he do? It's just a concubine who comes and goes without saying hello, and doesn't care when he sees you. Do you still want my aunt to invite him?" Mrs. Zhang sneered.

Even when she said such harsh words, her eyes were not ugly when her lips were curled up.

Cui Jiazhen bit her lower lip slowly.She doesn't look like a mother at all, especially her eyes. If she could have eyes like her mother's, it would definitely not be so difficult to say kissing... It must be born early. If it was a little later, raising it in the womb might be like Damn it!

She hated Cui Yu even more, stirring the handkerchief, furious: "Then he bullied me, let's just forget about it!"

"My son..." Mrs. Zhang took her hand and rubbed it lightly, "Be careful to hurt yourself."

Cui Jiazhen looked at her aggrievedly: "You only love elder brother, you don't love me at all!"

"How could it be? You are all the meat that fell from my stomach," Mrs. Zhang held her daughter in her arms, narrowing her eyes, "I won't agree to anyone who dares to bully her!"

"Then Cui Mata..."

"No matter where he goes, he will always go home to find his father. As long as he returns home, he won't be able to escape from my grasp."

"That mother will teach him a lesson for me!"

"Naturally. My precious daughter is not bullied by everyone."

"That will torture him slowly, I will make him sad every day!"

"All right, all right, I'll listen to you." Mrs. Zhang stroked Cui Jiazhen's fine hair on her forehead with a smile, "Who made my precious daughter make such a great contribution and become handkerchief friends with Miss Lin? If Miss Lin could show you in the face , say a few good words to the elders, and let Master Lin promote your father...Don't talk about Cui Yu, our Cui family, why don't you let you go sideways?"

Cui Jiazhen was very proud of this matter, and she pouted to be cute: "But dad doesn't know yet."

Mrs. Zhang patted her hand: "I have already written a letter to Yicheng, he must know by now, maybe he is preparing something, waiting for my precious daughter to go back!"

Cui Jiazhen blushed a little, she was proud but didn't want to show it, she sighed and said, "Who said he is my father!"

……

In Chang'an City, there came a visitor, Mr. Li, the censor of Taiwan. He was asked by imperial edicts, inspected and granted places, comforted officials, comforted people, and was wronged. I don't know if this lord has a warm nature or some kind of stimulation. He is full of passion in his work. , the mood is always high, and everyone who is busy jumps up and down, complaining endlessly.

Recently, the Weishui River gang has caused troubles, and cases along the river are inevitable. Although everyone complains, but the rate of solving the case is high, and everyone is honored, not to mention the credit.

This tense atmosphere gradually dissipated and gradually spread to the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family all kept a close eye on their own family members and watched from the other side, trying to find out the doorway and sniff out one or two rumors that others didn't know.

Yang Xuan helped Xie Wen with his busy schedule, and dealt with the hidden dangers of the autumn banquet.

Li Jiyu of the Li family did bad things on the day of the autumn banquet, but was caught by the Xie family.After the banquet, the Li family knew about it, but they were guilty of being guilty, and they dared not say anything about their mistakes, and they almost didn't even dare to ask Li Ji back.

Xie Wen came forward on behalf of the Xie family and returned Li Ji who had been whipped, reminding them that the Wang family was furious, but fortunately the matter did not come out, so they should keep their mouths shut.It will be fine if Wang Shibaniang is safe and well after that, but if her reputation suffers a little bit of slander, it may be the time for the Wang family to attack the Li family.

The Li family lowered their heads and acted as a small child, expressing their understanding.

Xie Wen couldn't help showing off his victory as a proud young son, and then said a lot of miscellaneous things, "accidentally" mentioning that there was something wrong with the mother and daughter of the Lin family that day.He only said a little bit, but he felt that something was wrong, so he immediately shut up.

But this little bit, coupled with Xie Wen's wonderful performance of covering his mouth at the right time, was enough for the Li family to become suspicious.After Xie Wen left, the Li family quietly used their own network to investigate what happened on the day of the autumn banquet, and they found out that something was wrong with the Lin family!

The Lin family is trying to trick them!

So the two families confronted each other, pinching each other overtly and secretly, not caring about plotting Xie's family...

Both Xie Wen and Yang Xuan were quite satisfied with the result.If the Li family couldn't find out, they would send the evidence without any trace.

……

The days are leisurely and quiet, day after day.

Yang Xuan doesn't make any mistakes, the little tiger is obedient and well-behaved, Lan Qiao has returned with all his tail, and the planned relationship network has successfully built a corner. Cui Yu said that such a day could not be better!

However, people still have to struggle.

The last time I saw the doctor, the doctor announced that he was cured and his leg injury was healed. All the soups and medicines can be stopped. In the past three months, as long as he eats healthily, exercises, and pays attention to keeping warm and nourishing his legs, he will not have any sequelae in the future.

After Cui Mata heard about it, he started to plan his schedule and headed to Yicheng.

Yang Xuan thought it was convenient and safe to travel at night with martial arts, but Cui Yu knew it all.Cui Yu has no martial arts, so it is impossible to know when Yang Xuan will leave and when he will return, but he will observe and know that Yang Xuan will go out to do things, because the inner ghost has been caught, and Yang Xuan's character has also settled down and he will no longer be impulsive at any time. Tube.

That night, Cui Yu sat in Yang Xuan's room with his clothes on, waiting for Yang Xuan's return.

Once acquainted twice, Yang Xuan was caught without any shame. Fortunately, there was not much work tonight, and Cui Yu should not have been kept waiting for too long.It's just—"Why are you sitting here in the cold at night?"

It's almost September, and the night is already cold. This rabbit's body is as weak as a chicken, and he has just recovered from an illness, so he can't stand being spoiled. What can I say during the day?Yang Xuan said with a cold face, "What if I don't return overnight?"

In the flickering candlelight, Cui Mata slowly closed the scroll with his slender fingers and said with a smile, "It seems that I am very lucky."

"I'm not joking with you!" Yang Xuan glanced at the thin coat on Cui Yu's body, took over the generous windbreaker he had put on the screen earlier, and put it on Cui Yu's body.

Cui Yu touched the thick skirt of the wind robe, lowered his head slightly, and said in a slow voice, "I'm not joking either. You are busy during the day and at night, so it doesn't matter if you don't sleep for a few days and nights. If I just wait for you At night, it's not a great feat."

This was said with a smile. It sounded like a compliment, but it was not.Yang Xuan successfully understood Cui Yu's disapproval of his behavior.

"Young man, no matter how good your body is, it's not made of iron. It's not a day's work to freeze three feet, and it's not a day's work to drop water through a stone. No matter how you think about it, no matter how urgent you are, everything can't be done in a day." Cui Yu looked quietly. Looking at Yang Xuan, "You should pay attention to rest."

Yang Xuan was somewhat disapproving.Could his body be the same as that of a weak rabbit?

"It's up to you whether to listen or not, this is just my parting message." Cui Yu's voice was flat.

Yang Xuan was stunned suddenly: "You...are leaving?"

Seeing him like this, Cui Yu couldn't help laughing: "You already knew."

I know I know, but I can face this day... Yang Xuan felt a deep sense of loss in his heart. For a moment, he felt that the house was dark, the candlelight was dim, and the world was quiet.

"I know you saved Lanqiao." Cui Yan sighed softly, "You saved him in time and gave him the antidote, because the autumn banquet was busy at that time, and you were worried that I would lose control, so you gave him a few days later. I... thank you. Thank you for being so thoughtful."

Yang Xuan snorted coldly: "I just think he's too stupid to do bad things." So, no thanks.

"I also know—" Cui Yu tapped the table with his fingertips, and the corners of his handsome eyes suddenly turned up, his eyes were sly and agile, and there was a strange beauty in the candlelight, "You are in contact with people from the River Gang, maybe you want to form an alliance , maybe... it's a turf fight."

Yang Xuan's gaze tightened suddenly.How would this person know?He has never mentioned this matter to outsiders!

"Your reaction seems to be true." Cui Yu teased, and pressed his fingertips on his face by the way, reminding him, "Be careful not to reveal anything."

Yang Xuan raised his head and secretly rolled his eyes.If it wasn't for Cui Yu, he wouldn't be like this!Growing up to now, the fame of more than ten years has all been planted on this person!

Cui Mata wasn't just guessing.After Lan Qiao came back, he told him about his experience. The child was rescued by a man with good water skills. He lived by the river. He was not a member of the River Gang, but he was related.Lan Qiao said that this person is very powerful, and Yang Xuan's ability to kidnap him back shows that the news is accurate and his strength is not bad.

The river is in chaos, Yang Xuan can get accurate information, and can save people safely... Reminiscent of the fishy smell on Yang Xuan's body after disappearing some nights before, this person is probably not just learning to swim to find the blue bridge, but even the river The gang's news has been collected together.On the evening of the Autumn Banquet, I had a night talk with Mr. Xie Yan and Mr. Xie Jia. When Xie Yan mentioned the River Gang, Yang Xuan’s expression was slightly off for a moment. Remember, forget it all at once.

When all these are associated, it only shows one thing, Yang Xuan wants Helu, and has already done it, and the results are pretty good.

This is good.River water transportation is related to huge wealth and opportunities. Cui Yu wanted to find an opportunity to intervene in this after the autumn banquet. Since Yang Xuan did it himself, he didn't have to look for it.

He vaguely remembered that Yang Xuan in his previous life had some hidden powers, maybe He Dao was one of them.Cui Yu thought that he could completely let go and let Yang Xuan clean up by himself, but——"If you encounter problems, you can come to me."

This person is smart and wise, he understands everything about him, and sometimes he understands himself better than himself, but he never leaves room for meddling indiscriminately... His sense of proportion is amazing.

He seemed to just want to help him, even if he wasn't willing to hand over all his cards.

It is impossible not to touch the heart.

Yang Xuan spoke with a hoarse voice: "So... have you guessed who I am?"

At this moment, his eyes were no longer vigilant, there was no anxiety at all, and there was even a hint of expectation.

Cui Yu noticed this emotional change, but unfortunately the timing was wrong, and it was not easy to confess, and—he suddenly wanted to see Yang Xuan disappointed, so he shook his head and sighed: "No. Do you want to tell me?" ?”

All the flashes in Yang Xuan's eyes seemed to be extinguished in an instant. At this moment, he was a bit like a little wolf dog who was bullied, with his ears drooping and his tail drooping, trying to find a place where no one was around to hide himself.

Cui Yu swore that it was the first time he saw Yang Xuan like this, she was really cute, a little bit painful, making people want to bully even more!

But it was only for a moment, and after a moment, Yang Xuan returned to his former aloofness, his eyes were even frosted, and there was only a little bit of grievance-like regret on his face.

Seeing this, Cui Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and coaxed him in a low voice: "No matter who you are, you are unique and different from others."

"For you?" Yang Xuan raised his head suddenly.

Cui Yu nodded solemnly: "Well, for me."

"You go..." Yang Xuan stared fixedly at Cui Yu, his brows like ink dyed were slightly frowned, and the burning candlelight was reflected in his eyes, warm and quiet, "I can't accompany you."

Cui Yu nodded with a smile: "I know, you have your own things to do."

"That--"

Yang Xuan approached suddenly, raised his hand slightly, and took off the white jade hairpin that Cui Yu used to tie his hair, and took it in his hand.

Sitting alone at night, no need to see outsiders, how comfortable it is, Cui Yu just used the long white jade hairpin to tie up the loose hair randomly, but it was not tight, and he did not use jade crowns or hairbands to supplement it. As soon as the hairpin was removed, his hair slowly drooped and unfolded, like a slow motion scene.

The black silk is like a waterfall, soft as silk, and full of luster.

Beneath the long blue hair is the face that is difficult to describe and draw, with handsome eyebrows and charming beauty. The fair skin reflects the candlelight, making the complexion more radiant, with red lips and white teeth, and a temperament that is as radiant as pearls.

Cui Yu looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and there seemed to be helplessness, a sigh, and tolerance in his eyes.

"Important... people who are important are farewell... there should be a gift." Yang Xuan's heart was beating very fast, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, so he almost stuttered.

"If you want a parting gift, I'll choose one carefully for you. Why is it so?" Cui Yan almost squinted his eyes when he smiled, as if he was teasing Yang Xuan's childishness, but he didn't get angry.

Yang Xuan became bolder: "Who hasn't seen those things outside, I just want your belongings!"

"Okay." Cui Yu spread his hands, "It's with you. It's just that the quality of this jade is rough, and the carving is not exquisite, so don't bring up your dislike in the future."

Yang Xuan held the hairpin tightly, with a little strength, the palm of the hairpin hurt slightly, but she didn't want to let go.He looked at Cui Yu ferociously: "Am I the kind of person who only cares about foreign objects!"

"No, no, of course you are not..."

Cui Yu coaxed Yang Xuan a few words, and began to tell him earnestly: "After I leave, if you don't like living here, you can go to Mr. Wang Fu's place." The Xie family's main residence here is heavily guarded, and it is always inconvenient to enter. Mr. Wang Fu Living alone on the mountain, although there are guards, they are loose. The old man also likes Yang Xuan very much, and he probably would like Yang Xuan to accompany him.

Yang Xuan nodded: "I have already planned for this."

"In matters of the aristocratic family, the two elders of the Xie family value you, Xie Wen and Xie Cong help you, you can mediate from it." It's all opportunities.

"I know."

"The river gang is dangerous. Although you are brave, don't be too impulsive and think more."

"I know."

"Your brothers...although the insider has been caught, but if you are outside all day, they are afraid that they will be restless all day, and the chance of you being exposed is still very high."

"I know."

"They may find Chang'an, and the new issue of the mansion report will be issued soon..." Cui Yu frowned while thinking while speaking, the Chang'an section of the Weishui River is auspicious, the king of Yue could not come due to his own situation, but the imperial court could not have a single clan If they are not sent, the one who will come may be Yang Xuan's enemy, so we must pay attention to it.

"I know, I know everything." Yang Xuan went straight to cover Cui Yu's lips, her brows were tightly frowned, "You are leaving, can you say something else?"

Cui Yu's mouth was covered and he couldn't speak, so he could only raise his brows slightly, asking back: "Other... what?"

"Yourself." Yang Xuan looked at him intently, layers of thick fog welling up in his black eyes, covering every trace of emotion, "You went to Yicheng to find your father, are you happy or unhappy? What will you encounter? Trouble?" Will you eat well and take care of yourself, will you...

Occasionally think of me.

With such thoughts, Yang Xuan's ears burned slightly, and he felt very ashamed.He is a majestic prince, he has fought on the battlefield, he has been to death, his blood is fierce, and he stands up to the sky, why is he like a baby who has not been weaned at this moment, giving birth to such an awkward divorce!

"Forget it." He let go of Cui Yu, and turned his head to look elsewhere depressedly, "If you want to leave, you should leave early, so as not to be caught in the cold wind."

After saying this sentence that seemed to drive people away, he subconsciously regretted it, and clenched his fist tightly.

Cui Yu's thoughts diverged, but he remembered about Cui Jiazhen: "You know? My sister-in-law?"

Yang Xuan did know, and he also helped organize the autumn banquet, so if he wanted to inquire about something, it couldn't be easier.Coupled with the Lanqiao dedication message that he didn't want to protect his master's life, he certainly knew what Cui Yu would face when he returned home.

He knew that with Cui Mata's clever skills, it would not be a problem to deal with the housewife, but he was inevitably worried about accidents.

"I'll be fine," Cui Yu said softly, "Don't worry."

"Sha San..." His eyes are also very soft, as if rubbed with water vapor and moonlight, when he looks at a person, he can drown him to death.

Yang Xuan intuitively felt that Cui Yu's thoughts were surging, and his emotions were released. At this moment, it seemed that he was going to say something important, something he was looking forward to, and something he liked to hear very much.He subconsciously raised his ears, lowered his voice, and looked expectantly: "Well, I'm here."

"you……"

As a result, as soon as he blurted out a word, the door was pushed open rudely: "Master, I brought you a supper!" It was that annoying Lan who wagged his tail and walked around Cui Yu all day long, never looking at the atmosphere. bridge!

The charming atmosphere dissipated immediately.

As soon as Cui Yu saw the steaming bowl, he immediately shifted his attention: "What is tonight?"

Completely forget the emotions just now.

Yang Xuan struggled resolutely, and took Cui Yu's hand: "Didn't you have something to tell me?"

"It's all over." Cui Yu patted his hand, "The supper prepared by Lanqiao is very good, do you want to have some too?"

Come on, ghost!

Yang Xuan didn't have time to stare at Lan Qiao, kicked the chair in front of her hard, and rushed out of the room like a whirlwind.

The author has something to say: Prince: Darling, promise me, please?Don't forget that the Daming Lake used to take care of your prince with all his clothes. PS: Actually, I still want a kiss. →_→

Lan Qiao: Master, do you want to have supper?Still want some tea?Do you want to soak your feet so late?Exclusive secret recipe package to warm up your body and heart and sweat a little! (*/ω＼*)

Mata beauty: Hmm... this one is good... that one is good too... the petrified one in front, what did you just say?I didn't hear Mrs. Feng... <(￣▽￣)>
