Jade of Rebirth

Chunlai Pavilion, the largest courthouse in Kyoto, is brightly lit. The courtesans dressed up either enchantingly or purely are embraced by high-ranking officials and dignitaries, with flowery smiles blooming on their faces.

In a certain wing room, a group of sons and gentlemen are feasting and having fun, and there is a young man sitting next to them, trying their best to please and make fun of.

One of the sons was wearing a silver-white brocade suit, drunk, blushing, with a wretched smile on his lips when he spoke: "We are not as good as the second son Xiao, we don't come to the place of fireworks to have fun, he is usually serious and serious." Even if you ask him to come, he refuses to come, and a few days ago, he actually proposed to marry a man!"

Another young master in crimson red back pattern also said disdainfully: "That's right, pretending to be prudish, he clearly likes to 'go through the back door', and he also looks down on us, he really thinks he is a young master ? Just him? Pooh!"

"Yo, Mr. Lin is talking about the second son of Lord Xiao Dahou's family?" asked the young lady next to the silver-white brocade-clothed master.

"What? Huanyan, do you know him?"

Huanyan smiled charmingly and said: "I know, why don't you know? When we came back last time, we even named Huaiyue to nod by name, but Huaiyue is a pure girl. He insisted on buying someone for a night, and the trouble was ugly. Later, I coaxed it Yes." As he spoke, he said proudly, "I wanted to vent my anger on Huaiyue's behalf, so I poured him a pot of spirits, and guess what happened?"

Others asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hey, he actually uttered the truth after drinking, saying that he wanted to marry 'Yu Li', that he was a lucky star, and asked him to protect him from robbery... Presumably the man you said he was going to marry was this 'Yu Li' Right?" Happiness asked.

"That's right, that's right, that's him, he's the third son of Prime Minister Zuo Yu's family, why, Xiao Jinyan married him and asked him to protect him from robbery?" Mr. Lin asked again.

"Yes, I asked him, will he marry you?" Huan Yan acted vividly, "He said, 'I can't get what I want, and I arranged for someone to go around saying that he loves me He has a skin-to-skin relationship with me, and now that his reputation has been ruined, he can't marry me obediently?'”

"Tsk, he is really wicked, but is this true or not?" asked the young man in the silver-white brocade coat.

"Why is it fake? I still have the jade pendant that he wears close to me!" Huanyan said, taking out the jade pendant from her purse and showing it to him, "Look, isn't this the real one? I think the things from the Hou Mansion must be the same , so keep it up!"

Everyone looked at the table and saw a piece of high-quality mutton fat jade pendant with a pattern of two qiu entering the clouds. One of the young masters saw this thing and shouted:

"It's this jade pendant, it belongs to Xiao Jinyan, I've seen it on his waist!"

Huanyan was not without complacency, and Yeyan showed a smug smile on her face: "Let me just say it. He told me himself, how could it be false? But the second son of the Hou's mansion is very wicked, and he is not a good thing at first glance. Let's People in Fengyue Field, it’s okay if their reputation is ruined. He is a decent son, if his reputation is ruined by him, he has to compromise and marry him, and his life will be ruined in his hands. He is a hypocrite, a gentle scum!"

Upon hearing that, Mr. Lin said with a smile: "I've seen that Yuli before, she is really beautiful, don't talk about her joy, if he stands by your side, you will be defeated!"

"That's even more serious. Isn't it a waste for such a beautiful woman to marry her home to prevent robbery?" Huan Yan opened her eyes and said indignantly.

Everyone laughed loudly, and began to change glasses again.

……

In the dead of night, it will be more stable.

Huanyan walked in a hurry without being messy, and walked towards the deepest room in Chunlai Pavilion.When he reached the door, he knocked lightly twice, and heard a charming and lazy voice coming from inside:

"Come in."

Huanyan pushed the door open and entered, and saw the person in the room lying on the rocking chair, half of his face was covered with a golden mask, and the exposed half of his face was extremely amazing, his body swayed with the rocking chair, the exposed eye Closed, the appearance is very leisurely.He bowed his head and said respectfully:

"Master, the matter has been settled."

"Hmm." The man still closed his eyes, and replied as if he was noncommittal.

Huanyan thought about it and asked: "Is there any other order, master?"

The man didn't answer, he was quiet for a while, and then said: "Order to go on, play up the story of Xiao Jinyan's marriage to Yuli to block the robbery, and tell those high-ranking officials and nobles... just forget ordinary people, let's ask high-ranking officials."

"Yes."

"It's all right, you go down."

"Leave with joy."

The room returned to silence again, but after a while, the door opened with a "squeak".He knew that only one person would come in without knocking, so he opened his eyes slightly, and sure enough, he saw a tall, handsome man walking in. He was wearing a black cloak and the hood on the cloak, and his red phoenix eyes slightly smile:

"Ah Feng..."

The corners of Jin Fenggou's lips raised: "You're looking for me so late, but you're here to do my business?"

……

Within two or three days, there was another news circulating in the capital... It turned out that Yuli's love for Xiao Jinyan and climbing his bed were all made up by Xiao Jinyan in order to ruin Yuli's reputation. So that he can marry him to pass through the door and block robbery for himself.Forget about the princes and young masters, the ladies and ladies in the backyard talked about this matter with great interest and seriousness, and even told what fate Xiao Jinyan had, as if they had heard it with their own ears.

When these people talked about it, they mostly condemned Xiao Jinyan with the mentality of fighting against injustice. After all, many of them heard Mrs. Yu praised Yu Li, saying that he was their lucky star, and now they heard that Xiao Jinyan wanted to use him to block robbery. , I believed it naturally.And this thing is too wicked, Yuli is a man fortunately, if it is a woman, to be so slandered would be to force him to death.

Li Shi who heard the news was also very angry, and scolded Xiao Jinyan for being a beast, saying: "I said why they insisted on marrying Li'er, so it turns out that the good grandson is a lucky star! Bah! Li'er is considered a lucky star, He is also the lucky star of our Yufu. What kind of thing is he? How can He De marry our good grandson? This shameless thing is still going around slandering our Li'er. Why doesn't God send a thunderbolt to kill him? he?"

Xiao Wenluan was also by the side at that time, knowing that the old lady was scolding herself intentionally or not, and comforted her, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief... Fortunately, I was smart, so I didn't try to persuade Yuzhangci and the old lady to marry Yuli The Xiao family did not oppose Yuli, otherwise it would not be so easy to explain in front of Yuzhangci and the old lady.After all, she is going to spend her whole life in Yu Mansion, and holding her husband and mother-in-law is the most important thing.

Yu Zhangci also finally solved his doubts, understood why Xiao Cheng would agree to his son marrying a man as his wife, after thinking about it, he was also very angry, he wanted to marry my son for nothing, but marrying back to prevent robbery?Dare to slander my son, it is simply too deceitful!Therefore, in the early morning of the second day, Xiao Cheng specially called him to stop him, but he didn't give him any good looks. In front of many colleagues, he shook his sleeves and left. gone.

Didn't hear what his colleagues said about him?It is said that he has no morals and shame. Yuzhangci is such an outstanding son and a lucky star. He actually plots against others and wants to marry him back to his son to prevent robbery. It is really shameless and selfish.

Xiao Cheng's reputation has been clean for most of his life, but he never expected that Lao Lai would stumble here, filled with anger and resentment, he called Xiao Jinyan when he got home, and he slapped him regardless of innocence:

"This matter is not visible at all. I was worried about your life so I made such a bad move. How can you spread nonsense around this matter?!"

Xiao Jinyan knelt on the ground, feeling baffled, and argued: "Father, listen to me, I didn't go out to publicize this matter, and I don't know how this rumor spread..."

"You still have the nerve to ask me!" Xiao Cheng kicked him in the chest angrily, and his beard turned up, "Didn't you go to that Spring Pavilion and tell others when you were drunk?! That kind of place where fireworks , you expect others to keep your secrets for you? They wish they could grow a few more mouths to spread the word!"

Xiao Jinyan couldn't argue, and said anxiously: "Father, I didn't go to Chunlai Pavilion!"

"You didn't go to Chunlai Pavilion and your personal jade pendant fell into someone else's hands?!"

"I, I..." Xiao Jinyan couldn't argue for a while, his whole face turned pale.

At this time, Xiao Shen came forward and said righteously to his father: "Father, how can you allow your second brother to do such a thing?! How can you trust the words of a charlatan? For this matter, you still use such a low Do you know how people in the capital view our family now?!"

Xiao Jinyan saw Xiao Shenxing's righteous and dignified appearance, and his already angry heart became more and more jealous: "Brother, what do you mean?" He sneered, and said: "Oh, that's right, after all, it's not you who is doomed! Or Said, do you expect me to die? If I die, no one will threaten your status?... He Yuli is a concubine, and marrying me is a high profile, that's why I think highly of him!"

"Be careful!" Xiao Shenxing frowned and said angrily, "How do you say such things? Although he is a bastard, you go to slander him and force him to marry you, and you have such a dirty purpose, It's your fault!"

"Xiao Shenxing!" Xiao Jinyan wanted to say something, but Xiao Cheng shouted:

"Enough!" He said again, "This matter can't go on like this! Tomorrow you go to the Yu Mansion with me and plead guilty to Yu Zhangci and Yu Li, otherwise the reputation of our Xiao family will be completely ruined!"

Xiao Jinyan's face was terribly gloomy, and he said bitterly: "Father, you are trying to push me out..."

"Otherwise, what should I do? Could it be that you let me apologize to Yuzhangci and Yuli with an old face? The most important thing now is to show it to others, otherwise I will have to be scolded for the rest of my life!" Xiao Cheng excitedly He patted the table, took a few steps to think about it, and then said to Xiao Shenxing, "Shenxing, you will go with us tomorrow, you will give the Yu family a good impression, they will give you some face."

Xiao Shenxing nodded, and said: "If my father doesn't say anything, I will go too. This matter is our family's fault, and we should apologize to them."

Xiao Cheng sighed and stopped talking.

Xiao Jinyan knelt on one side, with his head bowed, but his eyes stared resentfully at Xiao Shenxing's boots embroidered with carps leaping over the dragon's gate.
