Bastards

Early in the morning, Cui Yu was shocked when he received a gift.

A jade ring, a letter... Leaving aside the letter, he knew the jade ring.

The jade ring is different from the usual styles, it is ruby, dark red like pigeon blood, square and square in shape, with engravings on it, not characters, not paintings, not birds and beasts, it seems to be a totem, and it seems to have some special imprints.Under the face of the ring, gold thread is used, and the ancient filigree inlay technique is used to make a ring setting that is one circle larger than the face of the ring, and a gold ring is placed under it.

This ring, no matter the ring surface or the ring setting, is slightly dull in color, and it looks a little gray at first glance. It is not delicate at all, and it does not look like a valuable thing.However, if you watch it carefully and play with it carefully, you will feel that it has accumulated over the years, its brilliance is restrained, and its charm is in the body. As long as you polish it a little, it will definitely bloom amazingly.It's not that it's not exquisite, but it's too gorgeous and dazzling, so it hides itself for fear of alarming the world.

This ring belongs to Zhang Song.

In his previous life, Cui Yu had seen it on Zhang Song's hand, and had asked Yang Xuan curiously. Yang Xuan said that this ring was Zhang Song's life, the root of the family inheritance, and carried the mission from generation to generation.

He doesn't really understand, but this ring is very important to Zhang Song, there is no doubt about it.

But why... to him?

The winter sun is slightly cool, but it does not lose its brilliance. When it moves through the window a little bit into the room, it is still full of enthusiasm, with dazzling, crystal-like light.The light fell on the surface of the ring little by little, and the gray ring could not reflect any light, but it was not dirty at all, from inside to outside, from top to bottom, there was no impurity, no black spots, no mist, its The dark color is the darkness that is transparent and thorough...

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and Cui Yu seemed to hear his own heartbeat—pounding, pounding.

He seemed to like the ring very much, very much.

But no matter how much he likes it, it's not his... Cui Yu collected himself, took another look, and his eyebrows slowly raised, he understood.

The ring is Zhang Song's life, so holding it is equivalent to holding Zhang Song's life... It was sent by Zhang Song on purpose!Zhang Song and Zhao Ji had a close relationship, and they had an irreversible relationship. Knowing Zhao Ji's ability as a "magic stick", and the fact that the matter was resolved quickly and easily, Zhang Song didn't believe it, but believed it too much!He predicted that Zhang Song would be in trouble recently, and Zhang Song really wanted to ask him for help, but Zhang Song and Zhao Ji were good friends, but they were strangers to him, and he didn't have the relationship with Zhao Ji's brother, Mr. Wang Fu, so he didn't know how to win the trust, so he sent This thing is delivered!

Thinking about this point clearly, Cui Yu no longer hesitated, put the jade ring in his palm, and opened the envelope.

really.

The letter was also written by Zhang Song, explaining the importance of this ring.The ring has been passed down in the Zhang family for a hundred years, following the ancestral precepts, not to sell, not to transfer, not to be damaged, and not to be shown in front of others, but all the Zhang family members know that seeing it is like seeing the owner, or in other words, the owner has to obey orders when seeing it .

As long as you hold it, you can command the entire Zhang family, and at the same time own all the property of the Zhang family, all the property, shops, and mansions. As long as you hold it and say something, the Zhang family dare not refuse to give it.Zhang Song is the eldest son and the future head of the family. This ring is temporarily kept by him.

A few days ago, I heard from Zhao Ji about Cui Yu's ability, he believed it, there is no learning before and after, and those who have mastered it are teachers, young people have such abilities, he deeply admires them from the bottom of their hearts.However, an expert walks in the world of mortals, and it is not easy to make friends with others. It is kind of the teahouse to mention his difficulties. No matter how many, I dare not think...

But after returning home, he thought hard, he still didn't think who would harm him, he lived such an age, although he was not very promising, he made a lot of friends and enemies... except for that Yu Xiaozhi, there was no one else. up.But Yu Xiaozhi has squeezed him out of the officialdom, and now he can only go back to his hometown to be an inconspicuous petty official, if he is Yu Xiaozhi, he won't do anything unnecessary.

But if it is Yu Xiaozhi...

At this point in the letter, the strokes become sharper, bringing out a sense of chilling.

Zhang Song described Yu Xiaozhi in detail, his family background, political relationship, personality and hobbies... This person is extremely domineering and vicious, he dares to do all kinds of dirty and ugly things, and dares to frame anyone. disaster!It's hateful that the palace is still protecting it, and the emperor is still protecting it!If his crisis really came from Yu Xiaozhi, he hoped that Cui Yu would take action and completely punish this person!

I was a little embarrassed to admit that I was incompetent in front of others, so I told the truth in this way. If Cui Yu felt embarrassed, I could return the things to him. If Cui Yu was willing to make a move, this ring was a thank you gift !

This ring is of great significance to the Zhang family and to him. The reason why he made up his mind to hand it over to Cui Yu is because this matter is very, very important to him, and it is also very, very difficult. He believes in Zhao Ji, and he also believes in Cui Yu!

After reading a letter, Cui Yu was amazed by Zhang Song's integrity and his courage.This is simply handing over the whole family to him as his retainers!

In this, how much is selfish desire for revenge, how much is to eradicate officialdom bullies, and how much is to return other people's blue sky and pure land, Cui Yu is a little confused.

The same surname is Zhang, looking at others, and thinking about the aunt in his own family, Cui Yu blush for his family!

Holding the jade ring in his hand, Cui Yu took a few deep breaths, he helped me with this favor!

After eating a few bites in a hurry, Cui Yu came to the study.

Yes, although the courtyard is small and there are not many rooms, a study room has been tidied up, which is next to the bedroom, within walking distance.The study room is the largest room except the bedroom, but Cui Yu has a lot of stuff, desks, bookshelves, book boxes, no matter how much space is full for him, without Lan Qiao to tidy up, it is a bit messy.

Here are all the mansion newspapers he collected, all kinds of gossip letters from Fan Lingxiu, and letters from the Luoyang Wen family brothers.

When he has nothing to do, he often rereads it carefully, extracts useful information from it, and writes it elsewhere.Slowly, there were more and more papers, and he sorted them into different categories, and there were more and more cartons. It seemed a bit messy, but he could always find what he wanted in the first place...

Zhang Song, like Zhao Ji, is talented and capable, but his temperament is too upright, and he is not so wary of shady methods, so he has followed the way of others.Yang Xuan's great cause requires such talents, and these two will definitely be used in the future.Of course, before that, he will give a little training, especially Zhang Song, if he can accelerate his growth to the level of his previous life, it will be more useful.

If you want to help Zhang Song, you have to get rid of Yu Xiaozhi.As Zhang Song said, it is not easy.Yu Xiaozhi is the nephew of Yu Jieyu in the harem. Although Yu Jieyu is not very favored, she hugs the imperial concubine's thigh very professionally. The Yu family is quite trusted by the imperial concubine and is also a fan of the King of Yue.Combining the information provided by Zhang Song and the things he had collected, Cui Yu felt that the way Yu Xiaozhi acted was probably what King Yue was used to.

The superiors fight for power, there are fierce or peaceful collisions on the surface, and I don’t know how many things they have done underground. King Yue is in a high position and has always maintained a good situation and reputation. There will be a lot of private work, some inconvenient private affairs, Of course you need help from others.

This Yu Xiaozhi might be that person.

Regardless of his identity, background, personality, hobbies, and ways of doing things, everything is too coincidental. The position of being a blame man is really suitable for him. No matter whether he is smart or stupid, whether he is willing or not, one day he will be pushed to In front of people, he was guilty of many things about King Yue...

Cui Yu's slender fingertips slowly slid across the paper, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly.If he were the king of Yue, he would never let such a useful person go.

But even if it is the best candidate for the scapegoat, it is not pushed out at will. The gecko has to cut off its tail to survive, and it has to be a crisis, and it will be painful. If someone attacks Yu Xiaozhi, the King of Yue will definitely protect it.But when the water is clear, there will be no fish. The emperor himself allows some bad habits in the officialdom. As long as the king of Yue operates properly, Yu Xiaozhi will not be hurt.

Cui Yu thought about whether to set up a light and dark situation, which seemed to be facing someone, but was actually standing next to him, and when the overall situation was settled, everyone would suffer...

As time passed, Cui Yu kept sitting in a sitting posture. The sunlight gradually turned from east to south, and then from south to west, turning around the entire study room. The black hair slipped from the shoulders and spread across the back and shoulders.

Slowly, the corners of his lips curled up, and the plan in his heart took shape.

His time is precious, and his heart is very big, so... he likes to kill birds with one stone the most.This time, he was going to take the two men surnamed Yu, and do Zhao Ji a small favor, by the way... Let Yue Wang suffer a dark loss, and he still doesn't know why after eating, who tricked him.

It was pitch black all around, and the sky was very dark. Cui Yu finally got up and lit the candles.

The ruby ​​ring was facing the light at the corner of the desk, shining with luster, and it looked even more beautiful than in the daytime...

Lanqiao came back at Haishi.When he came back, Cui Yu hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Even so, he didn't dare to delay, tidied up a bit, cleaned his face, changed his clothes, and came to see the master.He originally wanted to make things right, but for some reason, he wanted to cry when he saw his master, his mouth curled up and his face tensed, for fear that tears would fall if he was not careful: "Master..."

"What's the matter? Are you injured?" Cui Yu thought about it, but he looked him up and down seriously, but he didn't see anything...

Lan Qiao quickly shook his head: "No, I'm not injured, it's just something... that was snatched by Sha San!"

It turned out that it didn't go well, but I didn't get anything, and no one was injured... "It's good." Cui Yu was quite comforting.

Lan Qiao didn't understand this: "It's okay to be snatched by Sha San?" He was so angry that he almost jumped, "Master, you don't know, that Sha San is with those people!"

Taken by Yang Xuan?

This is better.

Cui Yu was completely relieved, and sat lazily on his side, resting his chin on his palm, smiling in his eyes, as if he was watching his own servant: "Oh? Who are they? Tell me, what did Sha San do?"

"It's the heavy rain in midsummer, the heavy rain in Xiaxian County, we have to stay in the wilderness inn, and those villains we met!"

Cui Yu's brows tightened suddenly: "Which call?"

"We're next door!" Lan Qiao clenched his fists and squinted his eyes, "I recognize that middle-aged man even in ashes, and he's very rude when talking to the young master!"

It's them.

Yang Xuan's people.

Cui Yu is completely relaxed now, that person is still alive and well, not bad.

"I finally found a place, took out that thing, that person came up and snatched it! It was the same as last time, trying to kill me! I just ran, and I ran into Sha San, but Sha San didn't help me! That wicked man still Kneeling in front of Sha San, I gave the things to him! I didn't get the things back, I was scared to death, young master, you must—" Lan Qiao said for a long time, seeing that his master didn't respond, he asked a little nervously, "Young master... Are you not angry?"

"It's okay." Cui Yu sighed and rubbed his servant's head.At this time, shouldn't the child's question be 'why would the wicked kneel down to Sha San and offer important things'?His focus has never been right.

But no matter what, this child puts him first, his thoughts, his needs, his feelings...It's still very warm to think about.

"How can it be okay?" Lan Qiao was anxious, "How can the young master's things be robbed!"

Cui Yu smiled: "Be good, you've been tired for so long, go and have a good sleep, don't worry about anything else, Sha San will come back soon, and tell me about it in person."

Lan Qiao knew that he was stupid, so he basically didn't dare to believe anyone except his master, and everything was the same. He had to explain clearly to the master and listen to the master's instructions.He didn't dare to believe Sha San, but since the master said so, it should be... all right?

"Then I just... did something wrong?" He scratched his head belatedly.

"Lan Qiao is right, it's good to know the guardian." Cui Yu comforted him, "When Sha San comes back, I'll help you train him so that he won't dare to bully you again next time."

Lan Qiao blushed slightly: "It's nothing... Sha San didn't bully me very much, I was stupid and misunderstood..."

The more he talked, the more he felt a little embarrassed, he glanced around the master's room, and found that the charcoal basin was burning, the window was left open, the bed was made, the candle was moved to the head of the bed so that it could be blown out without getting out of bed, and the master also washed It's over...everything is fine, the master can just go to sleep.

"Then I'm going down, and I'll serve the master again tomorrow morning!"

……

Maybe it was something on his mind, thinking too much and being overworked. On the second day, Cui Mata woke up a little late and slept right past breakfast time, and almost slept until lunch time.

Lan Qiao felt sorry for his master's tiredness and didn't want to cry, and was also worried that his master's stomach would be ruined by hunger. It was a struggle, and the meals were changed several times.When there was finally a movement in Cui Yu's room, he forgot to wait for the wash first, and walked over with the food box. He shook the food box in his left hand and the food box in his right hand in front of Cui Yu: "Master, I want to eat today." What? Light porridge, or stir-fried meat?"

Cui Mata: ... "I think it's better... to wash up first."

"Hey—how did I forget this!" Prisoner Lan Qiao patted his forehead and immediately went down to prepare.

Cui Yu had a good appetite that day, and he gave Lan Qiao a lot of face. He ordered some light porridge, and also ate small stir-fries with meat flavors.

As a result, as soon as the meal was finished, I heard movement outside, and something happened.

Cui Yan gave him a wink, and Lan Qiao hurried out to inquire. After a while, he came in with the little fat boy Cui Jin and the little tiger.

Of course, Cui Jin was brought over by him, and the little tiger... was sitting on Cui Jin's shoulder, majestic, with a disdainful posture, and looked down upon all heroes.

"Brother Six..." Cui Jin cried out in distress when he saw Cui Yu.

Seeing that the little fat man was cowardly, the little tiger patted his paw angrily, and threw himself into Cui Yu's arms, screaming "Meow--".

Cui Jin stared at it contemptuously: You think I'm useless, don't you always shy away when you see Brother Six!

Seeing Cui Jin, the little tiger still dared to question it. The tiger's temper rose, and he stared at Cui Jin with round eyes, and said angrily "ha--".

It's a pity that Cui Jin is no longer afraid... shaking his shoulders as if nothing happened.

"What's going on?" Cui Mata rubbed the little tiger and asked the two people standing in front of him.

Cui Jin didn't speak, and Lan Qiao said what he asked.

It turned out to be Cui Xing's family—yes, Cui Xing's family, because those four people treated Cui Mata badly, Lan Qiao didn't regard them as a family long ago.Those four were recently instructed by Cui Yu, and Cui Qian stared at the rectification, and their lives were very bad.

If life is not good, resentment is unavoidable. The two adults still know the stakes and dare not go too far. The two young ones are unbearable, especially Cui Shuo. However, it suddenly came to such a point, not to mention going out to meet friends, and not having enough to eat at home, how can I bear it?Today I didn't know which tendon was wrong, I drank a little wine, it was even more unbearable after drinking, so I scolded Cui Yu a few words.

It happened that Cui Jin was running around again, and when he heard these words, he was very unhappy, so he replied a few words.

Cui Shuo usually never takes this cousin seriously. It's fine for others to look down on him. Does this little fat man deserve it?When you are courageous, you can beat him right away.The little fat man is not cowardly either, he is never afraid of fighting, plus he has the help of a little tiger——

Yes, the little tiger was always small and playful, but at some point he forged a deep friendship with the little fat man, and went around building together every day, and was rarely at home except to eat regularly and come back to see his master, so he just followed Cui Jin Crazy play.

Four months later, the little tiger didn't grow much physically, but his temperament became more and more domineering. In this world, he was not afraid of anyone except Cui Yu.It also looks down on Cui Jin, and often despises and dislikes him, but at least the little fat man is its man, and it serves him every day.

What kind of combat power is the tiger king? It is difficult for Cui Shuoguang to deal with Cui Jin, how can he stand it?Naturally, she was scratched and her face was full of peach blossoms.Mrs. Zhang was frightened and went crazy when she saw it. She cried so badly that even Dongfu could hear it...

After Cui Yan finished listening, he waved for Lan Qiao to go down, and came over to make a pot of tea.

"Tell me, what are you arguing with them?" Finally unable to hold back, Cui Yu poked Cui Jin's forehead.

Cui Jin rubbed his head, looking evil: "I'm just angry! I don't like them!"

Cui Yu teased him: "Then you didn't like me before?"

Cui Jin blushed, and turned aside: "Hmph! I don't like you now either!" He took a quick look at Cui Yan, "Staring at me reading every day, holding me to practice calligraphy! Who likes it!"

Cui Yu smiled.

The little tiger flattered its master enough, then ran into Cui Jin's arms, kicked him with its paws, and signaled: Give the tiger king a favor!

"But I know, you are a good person, even though you are fierce, you are good to me...but they—" Cui Jin stared in the direction of the main courtyard, and obediently gave the little tiger his hand, "They are all blind Ruthless! They shouldn't scold you! Not even a word!"

"Roar!" The little tiger roared, as if echoing what the little fat man said.

But Cui Yu knew that this was because the little tiger was comfortable being served.

But even so, he also showed affection for the two children.They really protect him.

"I'm still a child..." He smiled, rubbed Cui Jin's head, and rubbed the little tiger along the way.

Cui Jin blushed a little, and dodged awkwardly: "I'm not young anymore!"

The little tiger enjoyed it very much, "meow meow" like a baby, and even rubbed the top of his head against Cui Mata's palm.

When Yang Xuan came over, he saw this scene.

A dirty, ugly, fat man who has rolled around from nowhere, nestled in his rabbit's arms, and hugged his little tiger. The rabbit rubbed the little fat man's head, with a gentle and meaningful smile, and the little tiger was stupid Acting like a baby, she seems to be enjoying herself...

Yang Xuan was so angry that she almost rushed forward to strangle the little fat man to death.

Everything this kid enjoys belongs to him!his!

There was a little boy who hated before, and now there is another fat guy who hates, this one is specially pinching, and when he is not around, come to pick peaches to grab his popularity!

But in front of Cui Yu, Yang Xuan wouldn't do anything foolish, he only glanced at Cui Yu.

He thought his eyes were very sharp and violent, but in fact... Cui Yu looked at him with a lot of grievances and pity.

Cui Yu's heart trembled, and he was even more worried. He immediately got up, came over and pulled Yang Xuan to look up and down, "What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable? Are you injured?" Yang Xuan, see if he is injured.

Yang Xuan was instantly satisfied, his whole heart jumped with joy seeing Cui Yu, subconsciously breathed lightly, and quietly looked at the face in front of him.

Slender eyebrows, clear eyes, dark red moles, jade-like skin, a familiar smell, and a familiar expression.

The good-looking rabbit seems to be getting more and more beautiful.

He didn't have time to scare the little fat man, his eyes were always glued to Cui Yu's body, and he never left for a moment.Seeing that Cui Mata was worried about him, his heart was full and swollen, an indescribable feeling, but very, very comfortable.

Subconsciously, when he touched the left shoulder arm, he "hissed" at the right time.

"Is it hurt here? Show me!" Cui Yu was very worried, and immediately wanted to take Yang Xuan's clothes off.

Yang Xuan saw that Cui Yu's eyes changed slightly, his eyebrows frowned deeper, and he felt more useful, but he didn't want to act like a useless man, so he coughed, grabbed Cui Yu's hand, and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, a small injury. .”

Cui Yu didn't believe it: "Don't be stubborn, let me see!"

Just as he was about to move, he remembered that there were still two little ones in the room, so he turned his head and waved at Cui Jin: "Brother Six has something to do here, you are tired today, go to your sister's and ask for some delicious food, I will thank you specially later .”

The little fat man is used to looking at people, subconsciously felt that Yang Xuan was a threat, so he gave him a glare and encouraged the little tiger in his arms.The little tiger knew who it was just by smelling it. How could he dare to bear that person's uncomfortable gaze?I don't even dare to pick it up and act like a baby.

The little fat man looked down on the little tiger, gave Yang Xuan a provocative look, smiled obediently at Cui Yu, and left obediently.

Yang Xuan immediately felt refreshed, Cui Yu cared about him the most, and it really was him!
