Bastard's Counterattack [Rebirth]

Yang Ruofang stood firm in front of her husband, tried her best to smile, and said decisively:

"Congratulations, Mr. Rong. Your nephew has both good looks and outstanding talents. He is the top student in high school at a young age. It's really admirable."

"You—" Zhou Renlin turned his head in disbelief, stunned in shock!He thought his wife would help him, but he never expected that the other party would admit and confirm the absurd relationship of "Rong Youtang is Rong Zhengqing's nephew" in public?

Rong Zhengqing nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself: Sure enough, it was as His Highness King Qing expected.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Ruofang never dared to reveal the truth. Even if she wanted to admit and control the concubine, she had to weigh first whether she could bear the anger of her father Ping Nanhou and the queen's sister.

Yang Ruofang's face was blue and red, her teeth were almost gnawed, and she tried to maintain her posture.She had a personal relationship with Zheng Bao for decades, and the twists and turns in the process cannot be explained clearly, so Zheng Bao was willing to be driven by the second girl of the Yang family.

It's a pity that Hao Sandao made a careless miss back then, and Rong Youtang escaped by chance.

Rong Huaijin's mother and son must have "accidentally drowned"!

I don't care if the person in front of me is called Rong Youtang, Li Youtang, Zhang Youtang, in short, it must not be Zhou Mingtang!Otherwise, it would be over if he stabbed him in front of his father.

"Mrs. Zhou is too much." Rong Zhengqing suppressed his disgust and resentment, put on a vain smile, hugged his nephew's shoulders affectionately, and said politely and modestly: "It all depends on the support and guidance of the master today, as long as this nephew Rong is doing well. He is sensible and progressive, but he is very young and has many shortcomings, so he still needs to persevere and work hard to learn."

"You, you—" Zhou Renlin was dumbfounded.

"Hehehe." Yang Ruofang chuckled against her will, harshly scrutinized the pale and thin concubine in her memory, with mixed feelings, and pretended to be generous: "In one fell swoop, he is a high school student, and he is a handsome and handsome man, Mr. Rong is still so humble, tsk tsk, really."

The two sides took what they needed, miraculously reconciled temporarily, talked and laughed happily, and jointly put aside Zhou Renlin who was anxious.

"Nonsense -- ah!" Zhou Renlin was about to argue, but his wife secretly pinched the soft flesh of his waist and screamed in pain.

"Oh, what's wrong with you? You are sweating, is it from the sun?" Yang Ruofang rushed to cover her husband's voice, and quietly gave a look to her confidant servant, who understood, immediately cooperated tacitly, and yelled: "My lord, my lord What do you think?"

"Are you all right?"

"Oh, it's too hot today, after half a day in the sun, maybe I'm bored."

Yang Ruofang took advantage of the situation and ordered the servants: "What are you doing standing there? Didn't you see that you are dizzy from the sun? Hurry up and put it in the sedan chair, and go home and drink a few doses of heat-clearing tea."

"Yes!" All the young servants came in without knowing it, and acted in response, supporting the Patriarch with all their hands and feet, walked towards the sedan chair at the entrance of the alley, and left in a hurry.

"I'm fine——" Zhou Renlin wanted to push the servant away to help him, but he was weak and unable to argue. Under the aggravation and anger, his chest was tight and short of breath, his face was pale and sweaty.

It seemed to be a symptom of the heat, so the surrounding audience believed it was true and gave way one after another to facilitate the patients to go to the hospital for treatment.

The father and son gradually drifted away, Zhou Renlin turned his head vigorously, Rong Youtang was stunned, his eyes straightened, watching his biological father being forcibly taken away by Yang Ruofang's order.

The battle was victorious, and the Zhou family knocked out their teeth and swallowed their blood.Once destroyed, all destroyed, they dare not make a fuss about the life experience of the concubine.

In the hot summer, the sun is like fire.

——From now on, I can finally live as "Rong Youtang" with peace of mind.

Rong Youtang's whole body was cold, and he trembled suddenly, his whole body trembled, as if a large piece of flesh and blood had been forcefully gouged out of his body.

He was lost in thought for a long time, and after returning to his senses, he was surrounded by relatives and friends and returned home.

Uncle and nephew Rong Zhengqing didn't come, so they had to continue entertaining the guests attending the birthday banquet.

"Hahaha~"

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Rong Kaiji is so busy that the soles of his feet feel windy, and his voice is three points higher than usual. He is urgently discussing with the housekeeper and the manager of the cloth village. It’s not a big show, today’s top student in high school, I have to give a feast and thank you both emotionally and rationally!”

"Master is right, only three tables were set up last time." Li Shun regretted.

Jiang Bai urged enthusiastically: "What do you think? We all want to enjoy the joy of the champion's family. The master has taught well and taught a 17-year-old champion. It's amazing!"

"Hahaha~" Father Rong couldn't help laughing heartily, he was full of energy, waved his hand, and ordered: "There is a place at home, so there is no need to book a restaurant. The banquet dishes are the same as the last time, but the guests should be carefully finalized, it is not appropriate Late, to show our sincerity, the invitation should be sent out tomorrow, let’s discuss it tonight. Oh, yes! Old Li Laojiang, you tell the guys to stop busy with business, and quickly clean up the inside and outside of the house and shop. Clean it up, make sure it’s clean and tidy, and don’t let the guests laugh at its sloppiness.”

"Hey."

"Okay, I'm going to arrange for the boys to clean up."

Rong Kaiji's brows were beaming with joy, he was cheerful and bustling around, busy arranging all the banquets, he inadvertently turned around and saw: Rong Youtang was nestled in the armchair in the living room, dazed lazily, his cheeks flushed.

"Tang'er?"

Li Shun asked with concern: "Is the young master drunk? I saw he drank a lot during the dinner."

"Drunk?" Rong Kaiji leaned closer, bent down and touched his forehead.

"Well, I'm a little dizzy." Rong Youtang said slowly.

"Don't stand still, drink this bowl of hangover tea quickly and go back to the house to rest for a while." Rong Kaiji picked up the tea bowl and stuffed it into his son's hand.

Rong Youtang raised his neck, drank like a drink, pulled himself together, and said: "Father, you and Shunbo will have to work hard on the banquet. I have to go to Uncle Yan's house, Master's house, and Prince Qing's house."

"Oh, that's right! For the kindness of the noble person's teaching and support, you should come to the door to announce the good news as soon as possible. It is sincere enough for you to go in person." Rong Kaiji said annoyed.He was so busy that he beat the back of his head. There was no housewife at home, so he inevitably lost sight of the other, so he quickly wrapped up three thank you gifts, and arranged for two clever men to drive his son out.

If it is a regular course, the palace examination will be in March. After high school, the Yijia Jinshi and the first will ride around the street, ringing gongs to clear the way, and the glory will be displayed.

The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in the capital in one day.

Emperor Enke's banquet is uncertain, and the new scholars are waiting for the imperial edict.

The whole afternoon, Rong Youtang took the bus one after another, first went to the home of Yan Yongxin, the only family friend, congratulated, thanked and answered, sat for a while, tried his best to explain, and then declined to stay for dinner.Then, he hurried to see the master, kowtowed his head and said a lot of words with gratitude from his heart, Lu Nan was pleased and proud, and was reasonable, directly urging his disciples to pay homage to King Xie Qing.

How could I forget Your Highness?

Twilight is coming, night is coming.

Rong Youtang curled up on the carriage bench, closed his eyes and rested his mind in a daze, very tired.

The carriage swayed, and he dozed off in a daze, until the waiter outside lifted the curtain to remind him: "Master, Prince Qing's mansion is here."

"Yeah." Rong Youtang came to his senses, and his spirit was shaken. He hurriedly picked up the last box of thank you gifts, and picked up a jar of green plum wine from the corner, and said to the clerk: "The family must be in a hurry to use the carriage. Go back and help first."

"Okay." The man turned his horse's head and returned home briskly.

Rong Youtang smiled, and as soon as he turned around, he saw all the porters rushing down the steps, and the first and third quickly spread all over the capital. They scrambled to take the gift box and wine carried by Rong Youtang, and said with beaming smiles: "Congratulations, Rong Young master high school champion."

"Congratulations to the new champion."

"Master Rong is amazing, a 17-year-old number one scholar!"

"Thank you very much." Rong Youtang had been prepared, and quickly took out a handful of red envelopes from the big purse he was carrying, and distributed them one by one, smiling modestly, without any complacency or frivolity. , Surrounded by affectionately, said several auspicious and beautiful words.

In the end, it was the housekeeper who heard the news, released Rong Youtang's siege, and personally led him into the mansion.

"You want to see His Highness? Unfortunately, His Highness has not yet returned after entering the palace to discuss matters, and this old servant is also tired from seeing the young master. Why don't you go back to your room and take a rest, how about that?" the housekeeper thoughtfully suggested.Qing Wang's family was the champion of high school, and everyone in the palace felt honored and proud.

Rong Youtang smiled and said: "Thank you very much, to be honest, I am indeed a little tired. I went to celebrate my birthday in Japan today, but I did not expect to receive good news all of a sudden."

"Young master is smart, studious and hard-working. High school is completely expected." The old housekeeper happily sent Zhuangyuan Lang into the wing room, and properly arranged hot water, heat-relieving tea, and ice cubes.

in two quarters of an hour

Rong Youtang, who had been running around all day, washed and changed his clothes. He was clean and refreshed. After drinking a bowl of sweet heat-relieving tea, he fell down and lay down comfortably.

Prince Qing's Mansion is like his second home. After returning from busy work, he is familiar with basic necessities of life.

It was dark, the bedroom was not lit, it was dark, Rong Youtang lay on his back, and unconsciously fell into a deep sleep.

The champion of the new department sleeps peacefully on the couch, but the Zhou mansion has already fallen out.

All the servants around were screened out, and Zhou Renlin and his wife quarreled furiously.

The study was in a mess: tables and chairs, porcelain, screens, and the four treasures of the study were broken and toppled, so that there was almost no room to set foot in the mess.

Bang bang bang bang, after throwing and kicking like a storm, Zhou Renlin panted heavily, his eyes were like copper bells, he grabbed a celadon pen holder and threw it at his wife's confidant servant, shouting: "Get out!"

"This... Ma'am?" The maid dodged in a hurry, at a loss for what to do, she subconsciously looked at Yang Ruofang.

"Diao slave, get out! Get out!" Zhou Renlin sternly yelled, grabbed a scroll, stepped on the broken porcelain on the ground, rushed over, beat the four servants mercilessly, and roared angrily: "I can't order you around, can you? I'm too lazy to take care of it, and you just work every day to instigate my wife's affairs. What's the use of keeping it? Just kill me!"

"Ah! Ahhh—"

"My lord, spare me, but this old slave dare not."

"Madam, Madam help!"

The painting scroll is thick and hard, and the summer shirt is light and thin, so it's tied firmly!The four middle-aged servants wailed and begged for mercy, covering their heads to hide.

"What are you doing? Don't hit my people!" Yang Ruofang stopped angrily. She had never seen her husband so out of control and crazy, so she couldn't help being a little scared.

"Hmph, your man?"

Zhou Renlin sneered, and quickly grabbed one of the maids by her bun, dragged her closer, and with all her strength, raised her hand and slapped her face hard, with a "slap", she tilted her head and cried loudly!

"Your man?" Zhou Renlin said expressionlessly, "Yang Ruofang, even you are mine. I can't beat your mother-in-law? Even if you chop her up with a knife, what can you do to me?"

"You, you stop." Yang Ruofang was stern, not daring to step forward to stop her.

"To shut up!"

Zhou Renlin's eyeballs were red, and he couldn't help sneering, suppressing the resentment and resentment accumulated for more than 20 years, and it exploded wildly tonight!He grabbed the servant girl's hair in a bun and shook it vigorously, only to hear a scream of "ah", the servant girl fell face down on the broken porcelain, and the maid was cut somewhere, and blood flowed all over her face.

"Nurse, are you okay?" Yang Ruofang went over to investigate in fear, and ordered the other servants in a low voice: "Take her down quickly to invite the doctor. Also, immediately invite the eldest son to come over immediately—" Before he finished speaking, Zhou Renlin picked up the scroll and rushed again. Come forward and beat.

"Diao Nu, Diao Nu!" Zhou Renlin didn't care, and cursed freely: "I tolerate it again and again, but you don't know how to restrain yourself or repent. Since you are eager to seek death, I will help you today!"

"Zhou Renlin, are you crazy?" Yang Ruofang pushed her husband away with all her strength, and urged her confidants in a sharp voice: "What are you still doing? Go and invite the eldest son!"

The husband and wife quarreled fiercely, and there were hundreds of people in the huge mansion, but Yang Ruofang could only hope that the eldest son would come to rescue him.

"Hehe, most of your good sons are in Pingnanhou's mansion, how could he like my Zhou family?" Zhou Renlin sneered.

"Nonsense! Mingjie is at home today. What do you mean by that?" Yang Ruofang immediately lost her temper and asked aggressively, "Could it be that Mingtang High School champion, you feel uncomfortable? Neither is my Mingjie." Poor, he was born as a second-class Jinshi.”

"Oh." Zhou Renlin didn't take it seriously at all, indifferent and expressionless, and objectively commented: "Among the noble children, Mingjie is not bad at reading, but if you look at the examination room, his knowledge is at most in the middle. This subject is over, the marking officer Somehow I will look at my father-in-law's face, so I ordered the second class."

"You imply that my Mingjie is not as good as Mingtang, right?"

Yang Ruofang became angry from embarrassment, and sarcastically said: "A concubine is a concubine, and he can't get on the stage. His mother is shameless, she elopes to a man, and he is also shameless, serving others with sex—"

"Shut up!" Zhou Renlin interrupted displeased, and said disgustedly: "There is no proof, no evidence, you, as the mistress, slandering a promising bastard like this, is too ugly."

"As we all know, if he hadn't climbed up to King Shangqing, how could he have entered the Imperial College? How could he have the opportunity to learn from a famous teacher? What skills do he have to be the number one scholar?" Yang Ruofang insisted.

"The number one scholar was handpicked by His Majesty after his imperial examination. Are you trying to explain that Tang is still admiring His Majesty? In other words, all civil and military officials are serving His Majesty, including his father-in-law. Also, Lu Nan is brilliant and famously strict." , never accept apprentices, why only accept Mingtang? Do you want to say that King Qing forced you? Then Mingjie also wanted to worship Lu Nanmen at the beginning, and his father-in-law accompanied him specially, but it failed. Do you want to complain? Is father-in-law inferior to King Qing?"

"You—" Yang Ruofang looked at her husband in disbelief.

Zhou Renlin said coldly: "If you hadn't been a hindrance and you were mean and vicious, how could Mingtang be forced to hide his identity and dare not go home?"

outside the study

Zhou Mingjie, who resigned himself to his fate and rushed to resolve the conflict between his parents, was stunned, completely stunned, and stood motionless at the door, maintaining a posture of wanting to push the door, listening subconsciously: "Hey, can I tell you to be more sober?" Yang Ruofang Shaking his head slowly, he said sharply: "Mingtang not only hates me, but also you, Mingjie Minghong, Xiaotong, and all the Zhou family who bullied him."

"It's nonsense, Mingtang is the most well-behaved and obedient boy!" Zhou Renlin snorted, still refusing to face the facts.

"He was really well-behaved and obedient when he was a child." Unfortunately, he was not born by me.Yang Ruofang was very sober, and said quietly: "Zhou Lang, don't dream, Mingtang is taking revenge on us. He changed his name and surname, and would rather recognize a eunuch adoptive father than you. Our relationship." After a pause, she said with a hint of joy: "Zhou Lang, you want to open up, Mingtang will never recognize you in this life."

"Nonsense, nonsense, it's impossible." Zhou Renlin shook his head again and again, absolutely unwilling to hand over his promising son.

"Besides, we can't recognize him. Hao Sandao has been folded in the hands of that bastard, and 'Zhen Qianbao' has been forced to disappear. What happened to Minghong's murder? You and I must not do stupid things like leading wolves into the house, let alone break it." Father's plan." Yang Ruofang reminded calmly.

Zhou Mingjie, who was listening, couldn't bear it anymore, and broke into the door, scaring his parents!

"Father, mother, you say Rong Youtang is Mingtang?!" Zhou Mingjie questioned.

The Zhou family was in a commotion, but Prince Qing's mansion was clean and orderly as usual.

No one disturbed him, Rong Youtang slept soundly for two hours before he woke up spontaneously.

"Oops! What time is it?"

Rong Youtang hurriedly got up and got out of bed, the room was dark and gloomy, and a small and exquisite octagonal glazed hanging lamp was lit outside, and everything was ready with tea, handkerchiefs and fruits. He washed up, drank a cup of tea, and then opened the door to go out.

On the fifth day of July, the night is full of stars, and the moon hangs high above the Emei, which is hazy and soft.

King Qing's birthday is the sixth day of July.

It's the middle of the hour, hey, I'm sleepy!

Rong Youtang was a little annoyed. Just as he was about to go to King Qing's courtyard, he saw two servants coming out of the next side room quickly, smiling broadly, and lowering their hands, they said, "Master Rong is awake? Don't worry, the steward has sent someone to your mansion to deliver a message." .”

"Your Highness ordered not to wake you up, so the time for dinner has already been missed." The round-faced waiter dutifully asked: "My lord, should I send the meal now?"

"Thank you for your trouble." Rong Youtang asked with a smile, "His Highness is back?"

"Yes."

"I have something to do, I want to see Your Highness first."

The waiter's smile became stronger, and he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is watching the moon at the Moon Lake Pavilion."

"Appreciate the moon?" Rong Youtang raised his head in doubt, looked at the slender Emei moon in the night sky, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will go to Moon Lake."

not long

Rong Youtang carried a plain hexagonal lamp, walked to Moon Lake, and looked intently:

There is no moonlight tonight, and the distance is very far. There is a circle of shade green plants around the lake pavilion, and King Qing cannot be seen.

Rong Youtang stepped on the winding bridge leading to the Huxin Pavilion, and asked for instructions from afar:

"Your Highness?"

"Come here." Night Breeze sent King Qing's deep and deep voice clearly.

"Yes."

Rong Youtang held up a lamp to illuminate his feet, and carefully turned around. The rippling moon lake water was close at hand, which made him, who was afraid of water, extremely afraid.

after a while

"Your Highness," Rong Youtang walked into the Huxin Pavilion and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I came here to thank you, but unexpectedly I fell asleep until now."

"No problem." Zhao Zeyong smiled.

In the spacious pavilion, there is a round stone table, an arhat couch to enjoy the cool air, several chairs, and hanging lamps at the four corners. On the table, there is a jar of green plum wine and more than a dozen small dishes of fruit.

Among them, green plum wine was half empty, Zhao Zeyong picked up the wine jar and poured a glass for Rong Youtang.

Prince Qing was busy with official duties, so he occasionally went to this pavilion to meditate for a night, which was considered leisurely and relaxing.

"Didn't you ask me to dig out the wine myself? Why did you change your mind and bring it here?" Zhao Zeyong asked seriously.

Rong Youtang put the lantern on the table in the corner, recalled the past, felt extremely embarrassed, and said vaguely: "It just happens to happen, so I will bring it to you."

"So that's it." Zhao Zeyong raised his eyebrows and kindly said nothing.

Rong Youtang rubbed his nose resentfully, approached slowly, and naturally picked up the second glass of wine on the table, and raised his glass sincerely: "Thanks to the support and love of His Highness, I was able to be named on the gold list. I would like to offer you a toast first!" After finishing speaking, he raised his neck and drank it all.

"Hmm." Zhao Zeyong also drank it down in one gulp, his eyes full of admiring smiles.

Rong Youtang poured the wine, and in the blink of an eye, he toasted King Qing three times, then frowned slightly, and stroked his stomach quietly: When celebrating his birthday at noon, it was inevitable to drink, and the Zhou family disturbed the table without eating a few chopsticks; in the afternoon, he ran to thank, When he came to Prince Qing's mansion, he fell asleep and had dinner.

Empty stomach, hungry stomach.

"Why can't you drink it?" Zhao Zeyong was keenly aware of it, and asked with a frown: "Stomach pain?"

Rong Youtang shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm hungry." As he spoke, he was busy choosing the cakes and snacks in front of him.

"Don't eat all of these." Zhao Zeyong then raised his voice and ordered Chuanfan.

King Qing was sitting upright, with the Arhat couch behind him, and Rong Youtang on his left.

After a while, several servants quickly brought the warm food to the Huxin Pavilion, and half of the tables were set up.

"Your Highness, today we really met the Zhou family!"

Rong Youtang finished his meal and rinsed his mouth, still holding a wet handkerchief, he couldn't wait to tell: "He looked very angry. Fortunately, there were hundreds of people around, and the Zhou family had nothing to do. Yang Ruofang also congratulated me on the number one prize in high school."

"She's quite interesting." Zhao Zeyong said lightly.

"Although she is a biological father and daughter, she has always been very afraid of Marquis Pingnan. I think Marquis Pingnan is very prestigious at home." Rong Youtang wiped his hands in the corner, put down the veil, turned around and picked up the teacup.

"Except for Zhou Renlin, the others must be firmly opposed to admitting you back." Zhao Zeyong said.He drank one cup after another, his handsome face flushed slightly, it was rare to be so loose and casual.

Rong Youtang sipped tea absently, and said softly: "Oh, seeing him in such a mess today, I, I..."

"Can't bear it?"

"A little bit." Rong Youtang admitted helplessly.

"When it is cut off, it will be chaotic." Zhao Zeyong said with relief: "Of course, the blood relationship between father and son will feel uncomfortable. But they are not good, just like carrion from a sword wound. Healing, if not cured, will endanger life." After a pause, he said gently: "Don't be afraid, you are right."

"I understand." Rong Youtang smiled wryly, nodded, and cheered up: "From now on, I don't have to worry about the future, and I would like to thank Your Highness for his ingenious plan."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a clear sound of "哗啦" outside the pavilion, almost scaring Rong Youtang's teacup away!

"What?" Rong Youtang was shocked, got up quickly, and hurried over to check.

"Fish." Zhao Zeyong sat upright.

"Oh~"

"But I don't feel relieved if I don't see clearly." Rong Youtang murmured, he cared deeply about the living things in the water, turned around and took a few pieces of chestnut cakes, broke them into fine pieces, and tentatively threw them into the lake.

next moment

The sound of "crash" sounded one after another, and five or six half-foot-long koi jumped out of the water to grab food, agile and agile.

"Are you relieved?" Zhao Zeyong asked with a smile. He was slightly drunk, so he simply picked up the wine jar and walked slowly to Rong Youtang's side.

"Ah."

"Yuyuelongmen." Zhao Zeyong put the wine jar on the railing and said in a low voice, "They are quite spiritual, and they know that there is a champion tonight."

"They do have spirituality. They actually knew that His Highness came here to enjoy the moon in his busy schedule, so they jumped out specially to greet you." Rong Youtang said seriously.

"Hmph." Zhao Zeyong raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of smiles, and he praised: "What a eloquent champion."

King Qing's intention is not in the wine or the moon, but in the people in front of him.

"Come here, this king will show you something." Zhao Zeyong said.
