Bastards

"Cui Xingzhang! The clan elders are here, how dare you be presumptuous!"

At the gate of the courtyard, Cui Qian walked in accompanied by an old man with white beard and hair and hale eyes. Cui Qian's face was solemn, his brows were tightly wrinkled, the old man's brows and eyes were sharp, and his beard trembled. It was obvious that he was very angry after hearing what he just said.

The two came forward quickly, followed by the servants and servants behind them. They looked like a huge crowd, but in fact they walked neatly, fast and silently. Everyone lowered their hands and lowered their eyebrows.

Before anyone approached, Cui Xing and Zhang were already stunned, their eyes widened and their mouths opened slightly, as if they were shocked.

Cui Yu's eyes circled around, the tips of his eyes drooped slightly, and the corners of his lips were pressed down into a silent smile.

The Cui family lived in Yicheng for a long time, worked hard for several generations, and just now they have a little bit of foundation. They can't compare with Qinghe Cui's family, and they don't dare to climb.But the chick still has the voice of a swan, let alone a human?A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Although the Cui family is small, they also have the ideal of hard work and forge ahead. Maybe if they persist, they will become the next Qinghe Cui family?

As the family grows, more and more officials become officials. Although most of them are small officials, the prospects are promising. The family began to push the rules vigorously. Those who don’t understand, those who don’t understand, just humbly learn and teach their children according to the rules of the family. , study and practice etiquette, be strict and strict, pay attention to moral conduct, and look forward to future development.

Of the two who are here now, Cui Qian is the eldest son of the eldest son, his father is the patriarch, and he is the future patriarch; Cui Su, the patriarch, was elected by the older generation of the clan to hold the staff and supervise the family law He is mature and prudent, strict and responsible, and any clansman who commits a crime will have to go through his hands.Everyone knows how important the two are.

The matter of talent just now, the parents want to show off the rich and powerful, and use the junior males to divide up the love and break the sleeves, and reverse the human relationship... Once it gets out, it will be a big scandal!Not to mention that I strongly resisted and added the crime of coercing blood relatives, the bastard is not so ruined!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the responsibility for the future of the family is on his shoulders, so it's no wonder Cui Su would allow this to happen!

Cui Qian invited this clan elder... Cui Yan was very satisfied, and gave him a big praise in his heart.

"Today I was chatting with my fourth uncle, talking about Shuo'er's future prospects. I'm almost old enough to be an official, so I came over to have a look. Who would have heard such a shocking thing before I entered the door!" Cui Qian clenched his hands into fists, startled and confused angry.

Of course, Cui Su didn't expect that, with a sound of "Du", he leaned heavily on the ground with his crutch in his hand, staring at Cui Xing and Mrs. Zhang with sharp eyes, as if he was about to catch the two of them kneeling in the ancestral hall and be punished by the cane.

Cui Qian was heartbroken, "If your husband and wife have any difficulties, you can ask the clan for help. The brothers in the clan can't do it, and there are still uncles and ancestors. Why bother a junior?"

Cui Su agreed, and the anger in his eyes rose, making him even angrier.

Mrs. Zhang regained her composure, and quickly poked Cui Xing's back in the dark, and at the same time moved her lips, reminding in a low voice: "We are innocent."

Cui Xing hurriedly saluted belatedly, and said anxiously, "Fourth Uncle, listen to my explanation! I didn't force it, but it was because this son had an agreement with Mr. Tian Jiatian in Chang'an, and he agreed to consider it for five days. I followed Mr. Tian! Mr. Tian was in a hurry, so he dismissed my official position. As long as Cui Yu passes by, everything will return to normal without the help of the clan! If things are different, how can I not notice if I have been an official for a long time? Out? I will ask Brother Luoyang to help—”

"Hmph!" Cui Su narrowed his eyes, "Is this using your elder brother to suppress me?"

Cui Xing's face turned pale, and he immediately bowed: "Nephew dare not!"

No matter how powerful the clan is, people living in this era know best that no matter how powerful the official is, no matter how powerful the court is, it is still not as powerful as the patriarch's authority in the clan. , will also fall into the quagmire.

How could Cui Xing dare to implicate his elder brother?Realizing that he said something wrong, he immediately pulled back: "What my nephew means is that this matter has nothing to do with others, as long as Cui Mata is in Chang'an Tianfu, it will be solved immediately!"

"Why is it irrelevant to others? Did Xiao Liu agree?" Cui Qian narrowed his eyes, "I heard it clearly when I was outside with my uncle just now. He doesn't understand what's going on!"

The name Xiaoliu made Cui Xing pause for a moment to react, only then did he realize that it was Cui Yu.He himself usually forgot about this concubine, he had never called him so intimately, and sometimes he even forgot his ranking...

He quickly grabbed Cui Yu, his eyes and movements were eager: "Mata, come and tell them that you agreed!"

Cui Yu's lips were slightly pursed, his eyebrows and eyes were hurt, and the red mole between his eyebrows was a little darker. He looked very gloomy, and his resistance was very obvious.

Cui Qiannu: "Don't force him! Let him go and let him speak for himself!"

Cui Yan moved his eyes, looked at Cui Qian, looked at the old man Cui Su, then looked at Cui Xing and Mrs. Zhang, but still did not speak.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoliu, tell us, you know all this, or you were forced!" Cui Qian's voice was passionate, and finally he pulled Cui Su, "Uncle, who runs the family law, has always been strict and upright. Yi, I will make the decision for you!"

The atmosphere was turbulent, and Cui Su was also full of ambition, and his voice was like a bell: "Speak!"

Cui Yan nodded slightly, stood upright with hands tied, shoulders flat and back straight: "Father only told me to be good and go to Chang'an to be friends with Mr. Tian."

"Only talking about being friends? Didn't mention it?"

Cui Mata shook his head: "Nothing."

Cui Xing had a look of being struck by lightning: "How could you not know! I just said everything well in your yard!"

Cui Yu frowned slightly: "Does father really want to humiliate me like this?"

"How can you lie!" Cui Xing rushed over and grabbed him by the collar with a terrifying look on his face, "Mr. Ritian came over that day, you met him! He told you to follow him, you understand! He said My official position and your sister's marriage are pressing, and you still say you don't care!"

Cui Qian interjected at the right time: "There is even a daughter's marriage!"

Cui Su was so angry that he almost threw away his crutches, pointing at Cui Xing and scolding: "Zhuzi! Rules and virtues, the teachings of the sages, have you learned it in the stomach of a dog!"

Cui Xing was obsessed with his son's lying, so he didn't have time to pay attention to this side: "You said that you are willing! Just now, you are willing to pay for your family, for your father, for your brother and sister!"

"But I didn't know it was such a 'pay-off'," Cui Yu said innocently, "If I knew it as you said, and I didn't care, how could I come here with you?"

Cui Qian clapped his palms: "Exactly! It's obviously been deceived!"

Seeing that Cui Su directly ordered his subordinates to kidnap him, Mrs. Zhang couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed forward, staring at Cui Yu: "You once told me yourself that you know Tian Xiang is fond of you, and you plan to marry me from here." He is just trying to get him right now, and you said that you have had enough appetite to make Tian Xiang even more reluctant to leave you, so you go over and blow the pillow, saying that I am not good to you, and let him punish your father and his wife. I!"

Cui Xingnu: "There is such a thing!"

"Madam be careful!" Cui Yuxiu raised his eyebrows, and his clear and handsome eyes seemed to be burning with flames, "Although my Cui family is not a family member, even though I, Cui Yu, am a bastard, I know the word of integrity and shame! The sage has taught you in your heart, you should look up to the heavens and the earth, and be worthy of your ancestors, how could you do such a thing!"

"Well said!" Cui Qian applauded, "I, the son of the Cui family, should be like this!"

Zhang was angry: "You are lying!"

Cui Yu quietly grimaced from an angle that no one else could see.He just lied, he just refused to admit what he said, so what!Can you find someone to prove it?Oh, but I found it, were all your servants present at the time?But do you dare?The servants in the whole family are yours, they will listen to what you say, and will others take their testimony seriously?

Mrs. Zhang naturally thought of it too, her liver hurts from anger.She didn't expect that Cui Mata would be so bold!

Before Cui Yan could finish his sentence, he turned directly to Cui Xing: "Father, have you thought about it in the future? Does father really know what is the reputation of being courteous and powerful? How long can a lustful person be in love? This thought In the past, what will happen to my father? Have you ever thought about it? Not everything goes as expected. If I go in the past, things don’t work out. Does my father know what people who are associated with imperial power and have bad morals will do? ? Not only can you not be an official, but uncle Luoyang and Yicheng people will also suffer! If you are bullied and framed for a while, the world will tolerate it, but if you have such a reputation, it will be lenient if the world does not step on it and spit a few more mouths. The future of the family What to do! Do you want the juniors to bear the bad reputation and endure it for a few generations, until the things of the ancestors become history, and then seek to rise again!"

His eyes were burning with fire, his aura was overwhelming, and every sentence seemed to hit people... especially Cui Su's heart.

Cui Qian's eyes were bright, and he helped him play the drums at the right time, whispering something in Cui Su's ear repeatedly...

Well, there is no need to go into it now. Cui Su slammed his crutches on the ground and ordered his servants: "Take Cui Xing into the ancestral hall for punishment, and you will not return for five days! Mrs. Zhang, you are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, so you will be confined to the back house. Within, don't take a single step!"

Mrs. Zhang immediately complained.

Cui Su sneered: "The facts are clear, how dare you speak cunningly? If you don't accept it, you can move out today. Tomorrow, I will ask the patriarch to abolish your family according to the ancestral practice, and cross your family off the family tree!"

Cui Qian followed suit and nodded: "No rules, no rules, what Fourth Uncle said is absolutely true!"

The old man's status in the clan is quite high, coupled with the fact that he is accompanied by the future patriarch, and the fact is supplemented, no one will say anything at all.

Zhang's eyes rolled, and he had an idea again. He immediately knelt down on the ground and wept softly: "Fourth Uncle... please raise your hand, even though my husband and I were at fault, I was also injured by the cat demon a few days ago. I haven't raised it yet, that cat demon..." She glanced at Cui Yu, "You don't believe me, and I don't dare to say anything, it's just that things will be different if something goes wrong!"

Cui Qian sneered: "I still don't forget to pull people into the water. I am also convinced. My Cui family has such a housewife. It is embarrassing to say it!"

"What kind of cat demon, you don't talk, you are crazy, you are a woman, you are stupid and ignorant, your husband has been an official for a long time, but you haven't learned anything! Our Cui family has never had any monsters! If so, you have a guilty conscience, and you have ghosts in your heart!" Cui Su couldn't hold back his angry words, "Is your Zhang family's upbringing like this, I will ask the patriarch to write a letter to ask how your mother taught you of!"

The matter is so big, as the eldest son of the family, it is impossible for Cui Shuo not to hear the news, and he just arrived at this time, seeing that his parents were punished, he was so distressed, he immediately asked for mercy: "The fourth uncle sees the blame, the younger generation will not Dare to speak out, but there are priorities, I am studying with Mr. Bai now, and I may go to Chang'an to visit Wang Fu Wang Laoshan in the near future... Apprenticeship requires parents to come forward to restrain you, so this punishment, can it be later? Wait for Chang'an to return , I will definitely visit Fourth Uncle with my parents and ask for punishment!"

This is a plan to slow down the army, with Wang Fu's name as the old mountain leader and his own future as a compromise.The development of the family depends on the future of the juniors. If there is a decent way to reach the sky, who will stop it?Not only will he not obstruct, but he will also help with all his heart, human and financial resources, there is no one who refuses to agree, let alone just postpone the punishment?Once the matter slows down, there are countless ways to turn around. If Cui Shuo really got the favor of Wang Fu, the whole family will have to confess when he comes back, how can he still be punished?

If you heard these words without knowing it, you would definitely think about it, but Cui Qian, who had heard Cui Yu's words, almost couldn't help but burst out laughing and spit on Cui Shuo.This guy is thinking about it, trying to take advantage of the situation, the old man Wang Fu, Cui Yu has known him for a long time, and they have a very close relationship!Not to mention the Wang family, the Xie family is all over!

If it had been before, Cui Qian might only have hopes in his heart and didn't dare to believe too much, but Zhao Ji's officials are very fast, and he has received news this morning, which is a very good position!Cui Yu's ability is much greater than he imagined!

It's useless for this family to worry about these things, and they don't understand at all. In fact, as long as they provide for Cui Yu properly, they will have any future!But they are blind and blind, and they are tossing around. If Cui Yu didn't teach them how to be human, he wouldn't believe it!

Fortunately, I have good eyesight, so I leaned over without showing the mountains or revealing the water, so timely!

Thinking of this, Cui Qian held his hands behind his back, with awe-inspiring righteousness and righteousness: "The Wang family is the head of the aristocratic family, with excellent character. Although my Cui family is a small clan, I will never underestimate it! You learn from each other with your own talents, and the clansmen don't say In other words, I will try my best to support you, but the mistakes made by your parents should not be confused! The aristocratic family has a bright eye and a bright heart, and they are tolerant of human feelings outside the rules. If you are picked on because your parents are not around, my Cui family dare to question their reputation!"

These words were quite forceful, and everyone couldn't help holding their breath and staring at Cui Qian in shock. Even though he was in his own home, it was not easy for him to challenge the family like this!

"Hahahaha, that's a good point!" Cui Su smiled proudly, "Okay! My Cui clan has a eldest son like you, and it will surely be prosperous in the future!"

He patted Cui Qian on the shoulder, feeling very comforted in his heart.This child was born as the eldest son, and the clan made every effort to train him, beat him, scolded him, and was strict with him. This child has grown up to this point, and he is full of talents, learning and conduct, but he is a little bit unlucky and his official career is not smooth.I was still busy before, and my anxiety was obvious, but today I let go, and I am more angry with everyone. This is a good thing, a great good thing!

Cui Su stopped thinking about it immediately, and let his slaves escort Cui Xing to the ancestral hall. As for Mrs. Zhang, he was also "supported" by a few healthy women, and escorted towards the inner house.

All is said and done.

Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth, and stared at Cui Yu fiercely before leaving, with strong hatred: This matter is endless!You just wait!

Facing the sunshine, Cui Yu returned a bright smile: Don't let me down next time!

Zhang: ...

Cui Qian walked forward with Cui Su, and deliberately pulled Cui Yu aside to talk for a while. The main idea was that the elders cared for the younger generation. , what do you want to do!In the end, seeing Cui Mata's simple clothes, he sighed and said that he didn't want to see his nephew like this, and asked his wife to prepare some things to send over later.

Cui Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he sincerely thanked Cui Qian for being close to him.

Cui Qian burst into laughter when he left, and almost couldn't hold back, he jumped up in this yard.Cui Yu, who has done this today, is satisfied, and it seems that there will be a promotion in the future!

……

The Cui family was silent for five days.Five days later, Cui Xing came out of the ancestral hall, went back to Zhang's house, and fell asleep.The Cui family has strict rules and cares about their family members. If they make a mistake, they will be punished with a stick and given wound medicine afterwards. Therefore, Cui Xing just didn't sleep well, lacked energy, and suffered from physical ailments, but not many.

Zhang began to plan other methods.

Her people have returned from Chang'an and brought Tian Xiang back.Tian Xiang said that no matter what means she uses, as long as Cui Yu's body is not hurt, and as long as Cui Yu's subjective consciousness is willing to obey him, everything he says will count.Including promotion to Cui Xing's officials, including Cui Jiazhen's marriage.

Mrs. Zhang had an idea, but unfortunately because of Cui Qian's intrusion, some people in the clan paid attention to the inner house, especially those around her. She dared not make any moves for fear of being caught.

Coincidentally, Yu Xiaoquan, the prefect of Yicheng, heard the news from nowhere.Yu Xiaoquan has always wanted to get on the way of the princes, and he has more inside information than ordinary people. Knowing that the fourth prince is currently in Chang'an, Tian Xiang is by his side, and he has a lot of face, so he simply changed his obedience into cooperation.He no longer waited for Tian Xiang's instructions to act—for example, he dismissed Cui Xing's official position after Tian Xiang ordered, but took the initiative to pass the message to Mrs. Zhang to discuss the next step.

Knowing that Cui Yu was unwilling, he agreed with Zhang's plan, knowing that it was inconvenient for Zhang, and offered to provide better quality medicine...

Their relationship is very secretive, but they still haven't been able to hide it from Cui Ying, who has learned how to run a family from her grandmother since childhood.Cui Ying was grateful for Cui Yu's help in training the little fat boy Cui Jin, and kept her eyes on Zhang's side all the time, and let Cui Jin take the lead when there was any trouble.

Therefore, Cui Yu knew Zhang's behavior and thinking well.

Just when he was in a bad mood, he decided to play more, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Changan Fan Lingxiu.

It's day.after sunset.

A green oilcloth carriage drove out from the corner gate of Yu's house. The carriage was small and ordinary in color, not eye-catching. The driver wore a token of going out of the city on his waist, and his eyes were shrewd. side, send out the signal.

A porter boy immediately stopped his work and ran to the inner house to spread the message.Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang sent her personal maid to invite Cui Mata over.

"Madam said, there is something I want to talk to Master Six."

Cui Mata said in his heart: Here we come.

He walked to the window, pretended to look at the sky, and hesitated: "It's already night, isn't it wrong?"

"Look at what the Sixth Young Master said, mother and son are talking, how can you pick the time?" Seeing that Cui Yu didn't want to go, Luzhi remembered what his master said, and said, "Actually, madam... I want to ask you something."

Cui Yan sighed, turned around in his clothes, "Let's go."

Luzhi was delighted, as expected, it was just as Madam said, he was just a bastard, what vision could he have?Do you think it's amazing to suppress the mistress, and you have a superior posture?Heh, the master will let him understand what will happen if he is not good!

Mrs. Zhang invites Cui Mata to drink tea.At the same time, he put on a mournful and defeated face, as if he wanted to plead with Cui Yu for mercy.

As a bastard who has never seen the world, Cui Yu should be inflated and happy at this time, so as to drink that cup of tea.

Cui Yu just smiled and didn't move. The more anxious Zhang was, the more he enjoyed it.

"Meow——" Suddenly, there was a cat meowing outside, very close.

Frightened, Mrs. Zhang looked out the window immediately. The only maid, Lu Zhi, who was allowed to stay in the room, also had eyes full of fear, and quickly walked to the window, opened it and looked out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cui Yu quickly exchanged the teacup in front of him with Mrs. Zhang.

When she found out that she needed to be shocked, Zhang felt relieved and looked at Cui Yu: "But don't you like the apologetic tea made by your mother?"

Cui Yan shook his head: "I just think it's strange to drink tea alone."

"I'll accompany you." Mrs. Zhang immediately picked up the cup in front of her and drank it down in one gulp.Cui Mata put on an embarrassed look and drank the tea in front of him.

Seeing that not a single drop of tea fell, Mrs. Zhang was drunk by Cui Yu, with a strange smile on the corner of her lips.

When the tea was about to be finished, Cui Yu let out an exclamation, shook his head, and fell limply on the table.

Mrs. Zhang was slightly startled: "Why does the medicine work so quickly?"

Green Branch was also a little surprised, but—"Maybe the medicine from there is good?"

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and nodded slightly. The prefect has many connections, so it is not surprising that he can get special medicine. "Hurry up, send him out quickly, and send him to Chang'an overnight! This medicine works so fast, if he wakes up too quickly, he will go into heat without seeing Mr. Tian... it will be broken!"

Green Branch hastened to act.

Everything was arranged, and she did it quickly and well. She never expected that the 'comatose' Cui Yu hadn't been sent to the carriage at the corner gate, but in the dark night, while she was bending over to lift her shoes, she was caught by the The two 'obedient' silent boys have changed...

Mrs. Zhang drank the tea with added ingredients, but she didn't know it, because it was night, she didn't feel strange when she felt drowsy, so she fell asleep directly.But she has been sleeping for nearly a day and a night, and now she is grounded and cannot go out. The servants thought she was too tired, so they didn't take it seriously. They only told Cui Xing to come over and have a look.Cui Xing was troubled by official affairs, seeing that it was not a big deal, he had been busy outside during the day, and it was not until dusk that he had time to go into the inner house to see Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang also woke up at this time...opening her eyes.

Seeing Cui Xing, she first licked her lips and said softly: "Master is here."

Cui Xing felt that there was something wrong with her eyes, and just as he was about to leave, he was entangled by her arms: "Master..."

Mrs. Zhang's voice was soft and greasy, without saying a word, she took off Cui Xing's clothes as soon as she came up. She felt that she was taking off Cui Xing's clothes too slowly, and her hands were not strong enough, so she simply gritted her teeth, began to tear, and then... raped Cui Xing.

Cui Xing's crotch was injured, and it hasn't fully healed yet, but fortunately, after applying a few medicines, the function is still there.As long as a man's thing can move, he can't control it. If a woman teases him, he will naturally stand up, and Mrs. Zhang is very enthusiastic today. She has never been married for so many years.

He doesn't know now that Mrs. Zhang wanted it more than once...
