The worst is the next cousin

In late autumn, it's cold or not.No matter how strong the wind is, the noble son who owns his own brocade clothes can stand it.There was also the corpse of a beggar who had nowhere to hide in the ruined temple, frozen to death, and was taken away by wild dogs at some point.

In a deep alley, by the door, a black shadow kicked out.If I didn't take a closer look, I thought it was a sack because the clothes on that person were too ragged.

"His uncle, he can't wait all night!" The person who was thrown out rushed up and was about to kick the servant in the door who looked down upon him.

The door was closed with a "bang" and it touched Mao Xiaofei's nose, a rush of heat surged in his nostrils, and two eye-catching red streaks fell from Mao Xiaofei's face.

There was another yelling and scolding, and the narrow gate that only allowed one person to pass remained motionless, no matter how Mao Xiaofei scolded, he always kept an expressionless face.

Mao Xiaofei let out a long breath.

It's really cold in Shangnan.The white air exhaled slowly rises and dissipates in the cold air that has not yet snowed this year.

After much deliberation, Mao Xiaofei bent down to pick up the few things on the ground with great difficulty based on his memory of more than half a year ago.Among them was a jasper hairpin that was broken in two.He rewrapped everything with the torn piece of cloth. The jasper hairpin was emerald in color, and it was the first to catch Mao Xiaofei's eyes, but he kept avoiding it.

I have been bending over for a long time, and I am very tired.

Mao Xiaofei straightened up and wiped off his sweat.

A person who is only 26 is like an old man in his [-]s and [-]s. It is strange to say that people in their [-]s are rare since ancient times.A trace of coolness touched Mao Xiaofei's broad forehead, and the hazy memory made him suddenly bend down again. The hunched figure was shaken by the faint light of the two lanterns dancing with the wind under the narrow door, and it seemed a bit precarious.

Mao Xiaofei's cold fingers finally touched the jade hairpin, and he thought that even though it was broken, he could always exchange it for some silver, no matter how much he had, at least he had it.It's a pity that those days surrounded by brocade clothes and emerald greenery, even if it was a dream, woke up too damn fast.

The jade hairpin cut mercilessly pierced the tangled palm of the rough-handed man who was used to hard work, the slightest pain was nothing, Mao Xiaofei didn't even frown, and quickly got up and walked away.

This side, the most prosperous street in Shangnan, is by the river.No matter how cold the weather is, it can't hold a beautiful woman in his arms.

"Drink, drink, I'm happy today, it's all my king's. Go, San'er, tell the outside world that all the wine money in Lichunfang tonight will be counted on my king's account."

At the side, a young servant who looked like a green onion walked out to pass the message with his head held high.

One person was leaning on the couch, under the robe, there was a bare leg hanging out of the couch, a wine jug in his hand, raised his head, stretched his neck, and took it with his mouth.

"My lord, why are you drinking alone? If you don't ask me to serve you, my heart is broken." The delicate voice said who the girl was, and the prince's big hand was stretched out, locking her tightly in his arms. When I touched the cold flagon spout, it was replaced by a soft and warm human mouth.

It happened a few days ago, and the whole Shangnan city knew about it. It was at the end of last year, when a barbarian called Qingxi from a foreign country in the south sent a prince to marry Shangqi in the north. Ask to marry someone.

This matter is normal, but what is annoying is that the prince asked to marry not a woman, but a king with a different surname bestowed by Emperor Tai|Zu of Shang Qi himself.Now □□Emperor died 800 years earlier, and the Wang family with different surnames has also changed nine generations, passed down to this generation, King Anyang, called Yan Ningrong, is a baby whom his grandma loves so much, and his name is Cimao .

Yan Ningrong is in Shangqi, and he is also the number one person who walks sideways when going out, especially in Shangnan City, no one dares to provoke him.It is said that Yan family's blessings can be enjoyed in this life, and it is over.But why do you say that?Because Yan Ningrong doesn't like women, the companions around him have changed one after another, and he has never been on a blind date with a woman.The old lady of the Yan family beat and scolded, and even knelt down in the palace herself to ask the emperor to order him to guard the border. After five years of guarding the border, Young Master Yan was a little tanned and walked around the market with a 13-year-old groom in his arms. , not only confiscated his temperament, but also made a fuss so that everyone in Shangnan knew that he was going to sleep in the same bed with a man for the rest of his life.

This was also a small scandal in the Shangqi Palace three years ago. Who knew that after the quarrel broke out, the current emperor Yan Ningrong, who was favored by the heavens, issued a decree, saying that men and women were born together in the heaven and the earth, created by chaos.It doesn't make sense that only men and women are allowed to get married, but men and men are not allowed.

So the scandal became an iron law, setting a precedent for the marriage of men in Shangqi.

Yan Ningrong, who was punished by the old lady of Yan's family to kneel down at the ancestral temple, hadn't opened meat for half a month, and now he is not making a fuss, the first thing he must do is to bring the son-in-law home to pray to heaven and earth.

Unexpectedly, after half a year, there was still no letter. At that time, dozens of people in Shangnan City had married men as wives, but King Anyang, who was the first to cause trouble, did not move at all.

Half a year later, the groom went out of the city with a huge burden on his back, and he was not allowed to pass through the gate of the city, so he had to open it to see.This is unbelievable, it is actually a pure gold Buddha statue half the height of a person.

A guard said in surprise: "Isn't this the man of King Anyang? Half a year ago, King Anyang was still holding that one in front of the horse..."

For a while, everyone whispered.

The groom blushed and remained silent like a gourd, except that the circles of his eyes were red.

Another half an hour later, the person who went back came back, glanced at the dejected groom, and read like a memorization: "King Anyang said, since he has been brought out, I will reward him for the hard work of serving him for more than half a year."

"Give it to me!" The groom angrily grabbed the piece of calico that wrapped the Buddha statue.

In the astonished and doubtful eyes of the city guards, the 14-year-old boy led an old horse with a crumbling Buddha statue on its back, and went out from the huge rich gate, following the people who came and went outside the city. The crowd disappeared without a trace.

The old city guard closed his eyes and smoked his hookah, shaking his head in the steaming clouds: "Tsk tsk, young man, these days..."

It is inevitable that something embarrassing like this happened to King Anyang.Once or twice, there were still people discussing it, and three times and four times, even the imperial censor who impeached him was beaten out of Zhuquetai by the emperor with twenty sticks, and no one dared to discuss it again.

It also confirmed the rumors in the market: Isn't the emperor just waiting for the Yan family to cut off their children and grandchildren?

Yan Ningrong is the only son of the Yan family, his father died in battle, and the only male, he likes men.

Unless after the [-]th hurdle, King Anyang can still move women's minds, then there may be a turnaround.As for the old lady Man Shangqi's selection of a concubine for King Anyang, it only lasted half a month, so I don't want to mention it.When Qingxi's prince came to marry King Anyang, Yan's family became completely anxious, and said that no matter who you marry, you can get married, and you don't go to the south to be a man's wife, everything is fine.

So I don't know whether it's a demonstration against the barbarians, or the bastard's eyes on Mung Dou, in short, Yan Ningrong, who has lived among thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching his body, chose an unremarkable cook.

Mao Xiaofei is this guy.

Putting it here, Mao Xiaofei was kicked out of Anyang Prince's Mansion, we have to start from a few days ago.Three days ago, when it was almost lunch time, he was still wearing a decent royal uniform, sitting idly in the hall drinking tea, the voice of the housekeeper reminding Mao Xiaofei to pay attention to his appearance was not louder than a mosquito.

Mao Xiaofei waved his hands impatiently, and the servant who was sent out to watch Yan Ningrong finally came back sweating when the sun slanted from his head, knelt on the ground, and respectfully reported loudly: "Report! The prince is out for lunch today." Already, tell the princess not to wait any longer."

This Wang Husband is called by outsiders. After all, people in Shangqi really can't call Mao Xiaofei, a rough guy, a princess.

However, the housekeeper in the mansion insisted on ordering death, saying that since Mao Xiaofei was married by Anyang Wang Mingmei, he was brought here in eight sedan chairs. He wrote a copy of "Concubine Virtue" circulated by concubines in the harem, so he should be called the princess.

Mao Xiaofei has no objection, the name is the same.

Anyway, from the first day of marrying King Anyang, Mao Xiaofei knew that this day would come.

On that afternoon, Mao Xiaofei, who had finished his meal and took a nap in the distant tree as usual, was suddenly shaken awake, and before he had time to get angry, he was given a rest inexplicably.

Just like when he was picked up in front of Yan Ningrong by a strong man, he was as inexplicable as he could be tricked by the same person twice, no matter how humble a person is, that little bit of self-esteem is enough to burn him up.

at the moment.

Walking through the streets and alleys, I finally found a row of old fences. On the south side of Shangnan City, there are short houses that can't be seen at a glance.All the lights have been turned off now, if it wasn't for the fact that there was still a bastard hanging on the fence by the gate that Mao Xiaofei came back to hang last time, he wouldn't have recognized it.

Mao Xiaofei fiddled with his fingers, Wang Bake spun around quickly, bumped into the fence and broke into two halves.

"Godfather!"

As soon as he yelled, the headlights came on.

Mao Xiaofei stopped barking.

A moment later, a bearded face appeared from the door, and the swarthy face looked at Mao Xiaofei vigilantly for a while, Mao Xiaofei felt that the gaze had lifted him up, and twisted him dry from head to toe, so as not to dirty the room.

In the hall, a woman came out of a cloak, leaning on the door frame leading to the bedroom, with a small bag inside.

"Put on your clothes! What do you look like!" Mao Xiaofei's godfather became angry when he saw it.

The woman walked over with a smile, twisted her body, sat down next to the table, gathered her outer robe, barely covering her chest, rinsed the cup, poured out a cup of tea, drank it herself first, and gave the cup she drank to the bear like The big man poured a glass and pushed it under his nose.

The godfather got angry, took a sip, and let the matter pass.

"It's time for you to come back. I don't know the exact date, but I didn't expect it. The majestic Anyang Palace will let you come back like this if you divorce your wife."

"Yes, there are not many divorced wives these days. Even if you sue the government, you are not at fault. If your husband's family asks you to go out, you will have to pay a lot of money." The woman pursed her lips meaningfully and smiled. Get up, "Unexpectedly. Godson, don't you have a large amount of banknotes in your bag, and it's raining outside, so you should take it out and lay it out to dry it carefully, and don't waste it. The bank refuses to accept it, and the godmother will help you Put it away, it's not a big deal." As she spoke, the woman got up and went to open the cloth bag Mao Xiaofei put on the cabinet when she entered the door, with a lazy tone and a smile: "It's always a marriage, and you still have to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. capital……"

The sharp and thin voice stopped abruptly, Mao Xiaofei had just picked up the tea cup and drank half of it, knowing that he would suffer, he quickly swallowed the remaining half cup of cold tea, coughing until he choked.

"You little bastard, take your money and go to sleep. I don't have a good bed or bed for you to sleep in. Godfather and mother-in-law are so affectionate. They are not biological, but they are different. Want to borrow money? Find someone quickly." Cast a good baby in the place, and in the next life you will be able to wear gold and silver, and we can't afford to serve you, butchers and meat sellers." The door is closed by a narrow gap, and the four words are from Mao Xiaofei's eloquent tongue. Suddenly, he jumped out, squeezed out the door again, put his head on Mao Xiaofei's forehead, and smashed him to pieces: "Wang! Concubine! Mother! Mother!"

Mao Xiaofei hadn't eaten all night, sat on the ground for a long while because of hunger, and then stood up, patting the muddy water on the buttocks of the old coarse cloth robe.He made up his mind to make do with one night under the eaves of his godfather's house, since he was often not allowed to go in when he was a child.Who knew that he was a little drowsy, and when a pot of boiling water was poured out, he was shocked and hurt at the same time, and when Mao Xiaofei came back to his senses, the door had already been closed.

Mao Xiaofei finally figured it out: Why did Yan Ning Rong repeat what the housekeeper said, an orphan without father and mother?

What did the butler mean when he said that he was courteous and flattering?

He stood up and took out the genuine jade hairpin that had been broken in two. There was nothing he could do. He was a person from two worlds, so why would he want to be a princess again?

In the silent night, two ear scrapers made Mao Xiaofei's eyes filled with tears, which flowed on his face, and he thought it was rain.The whole body was well beaten, with the tip of his tongue pressed against his cheeks that were numb due to the cold or the pain, Mao Xiaofei walked slowly towards the west of the city, where there were hotels open all night and hot haggis soup.

Ever since he sold himself into the royal palace as a servant, he, Mao Xiaofei, has never been poor, but he just took off the shoes he was wearing, and the calluses on his feet did not fall off.

Mao Xiaofei took off his shoes and put his hands on his hands, walking faster and more steadily than anyone else in his bare feet.
