Twilight Cloud Returns

In a word, like a boulder that stirred up thousands of layers of waves, it smashed deeply into Xiao Zhongzi's heart, leaving a huge and irreparable hole.

The bamboo chopsticks were trembling indistinctly in his hands.After a long while, he smiled wryly and said: "Brother is right, there has never been a man in the world who does not marry a wife... Brother will definitely marry a virtuous and virtuous sister-in-law... It's getting late, brother has to go back to the palace to work, so I left first ..."

When Wei Guoan heard that he was leaving, he hurriedly wrapped the remaining lotus seed cakes on the plate with oiled paper, and said, "Take these with you and eat them on the way, so as not to be hungry..."

But Xiao Zhongzi just wanted to escape from the Wei Mansion, so he left in a hurry, saying "the key is about to be released in the palace".

Wei Guoan looked at the packages he had packed, and he didn't take any of them with him, so he felt a little annoyed for a moment—maybe he shouldn't have said such a heavy word, there will be a long time in the future, and he should guide him slowly...

He sat at the table, looked at the scattered pieces of lotus seed cake, and remembered that his younger brother wanted to eat lotus seed cake when he wanted to eat it, so he saved his money to buy it, but he was reluctant to eat it when he bought it, so he left it all for his younger brother.

Later, I went to the frontier fortress to join the army, and there was no food to pass the time in the barracks, so I never saw lotus seed cakes again.

More than ten years have passed, but he has never tasted the lotus seed cake that brother likes.

Recalling this, Wei Guoan picked up the bamboo chopsticks and put a piece of soft glutinous lotus seed cake into his mouth. After chewing a couple of mouthfuls, he subconsciously vomited out.

It's really too painful...

How could my brother like such a bitter pastry...

Little Zhongzi left the Wei residence, and Qing Bao, who had already been waiting by the side, greeted him flatteringly with the newly baked lotus seed cake, "Eunuch Zhong came out of Mr. Wei... Qing Bao remembered that you love this lotus seed cake the most, and specially made it I bought it for you, would you like to try it?"

Qing Bao is Liang Deying's apprentice, although the two of them have bullied him a lot, both openly and secretly, but now they can't rely on their elder brother's fame and fame to be a domineering and arousing criticism for no reason.

Xiao Zhongzi smiled and thanked him for accepting the lotus seed cake.

Qing Bao said in a sharp voice: "Eunuch Zhong doesn't know something. Before Qing Bao entered the palace, the lotus seed cake was made in the south of the Yangtze River. Some women are lazy and don't want to peel off the lotus core. Sprinkle some sugar to cover up the bitterness of the lotus core. But in fact, this inferior lotus seed cake has a sweet skin and a bitter filling. Qingbao’s nose is sharper than a dog’s, and he can smell which is the core. lotus seed cake!"

Qing Bao's face of a slave made others think that Xiao Zhongzi was the young master of some family.

Qing Bao continued: "So, Eunuch Zhong, you can eat it with confidence, and the sweet stuffing is also sweet when you keep it! If you think about this again one day, you, just tell Qing Bao, and Qing Bao will bring it back for you... ..."

He was so enthusiastic, Xiao Zhongzi had no choice but to taste it, it was really sweet, but his heart was sour.

The next day, Chunhe Jingming, is a good time for outing, and it is a good weather for beheading.

Rong Xin and De Wei were carried into the prison van early in the morning and paraded through the streets.There were even more people standing and watching on the street than when Yun Chuxiu returned to Beijing.

I don't know who started it, threw rotten eggs at the prison car, and cursed: "It's all heinous sinners like you that make people miserable!"

"That's right! It's the bastards like them who don't do anything!"

In just half a cup of tea, Rong Xin's and De Wei's heads were all covered with egg liquid and rotten vegetable leaves.

A cowardly and ignorant person like Rong Xin could only utter simple syllables while standing in the prison car, weeping silently, hoping in his heart that his uncle Rong Xiang would invite an imperial decree on the execution ground to pardon him. His death penalty!

Dewey's hands were swollen due to the chilblain that Chu Tiankuo had mentioned. His fingers had already turned blue and black, and they gradually festered and rotted upwards, extending to his arms, exuding a foul smell.

He wanted to clenched his fists to vent his anger, but he couldn't do it, so he could only stare fiercely at the woman who hit his head.

Dewey had been a general for many years, even the prisoners still exuded a menacing aura, which startled the woman.

But that woman is not a vegetarian either, "Why are you staring! Could it be that I have wronged you!" Then she threw several eggs.

Accepting the "baptism" of the people of Quanquan City, the two were escorted to the Meridian Gate, ready to be beheaded.

Gu Xiaorui hated these few people who tripped his little prince behind his back so much, he brought Fat Rong to join in the fun early in the morning, and even dragged Wuqing, but was stopped by Yun Chuxiu.

He blocked Wuqing behind him, and said: "You have to go by yourself, the bloody scene, beheading and spraying blood, how can Mr. Qing bear it?"

Originally, Wuqing also wanted to go to watch the excitement, but when he frightened him, he couldn't help shivering, and waved his hands again and again to express his refusal.

Gu Xiaorui had no choice but to lead Fat Rong and leave alone.

Yun Chuxiu took Wuqing to the front hall, shook his head and said, "How old is this boy, and he is still as good as a child... If I reward him with a mansion in the future, he must not make a mess of the mansion." Dog jump!"

Wuqing looked at him as a worried old father, couldn't help smiling, and said: "Gu Xiaorui is not as naughty as you say, it's just a carefree boy's nature."

But after getting along for so long, Wuqing can see that Zhihuan treats Gu Xiaorui differently from his servants in the past. Gu Xiaorui is like a half-master in Yunwang Mansion, and subconsciously asks: "Why do you treat Gu Xiaorui so favorably?"

Mentioning this, the eyes in Yun Chuxiu's eyes gradually dimmed.No clear thought, this must be another gloomy past.

"Gu Xiaorui's mother was originally a personal maid brought by my mother from the Yun Clan. After entering the palace with my mother, she met and fell in love with a guard by chance, and became pregnant."

"The harem clearly forbids court ladies to have adulterous affairs. At that time, Empress Rong was trying every means to suppress my mother, and she happened to take advantage of this and beat the guard to death. His mother was able to keep it because of my mother's persuasion in front of the emperor. killed."

"A pair of mandarin ducks who share the same mind. If the mandarin ducks are gone, how can the ducks survive? After she gave birth to Gu Xiaorui, my mother committed suicide without watching her."

As soon as the child landed, he lost his parents.

Wuqing felt a little sad in his heart, only to hear that he continued to preach: "According to Empress Rong's ruthless temperament, this child will not survive. His mother sent him out of the palace immediately, and announced to the outside world that the maid died of dystocia, and both mother and child died. Gu Xiaorui to grow into adults.”

"My mother always felt that she shouldn't have brought Gu Xiaorui's mother into the palace. If she was still in the Yun clan, she might live a happy and peaceful life. She always felt guilty towards Gu Xiaorui, so she ordered me to take good care of him."

In this way, Wuqing completely understood.

But he looked at Gu Xiaorui's heartless appearance, as if he didn't know about it, "Is it because he doesn't know..."

Yun Chuxiu nodded, "There are some things that you don't need to let the person know, to bear the pain." He smiled suddenly, "As you said, wouldn't it be great to be a carefree young man? "

Just as he was talking, the young man outside the door informed the young prince that the things he wanted had arrived.

Yun Chuxiu immediately swept away the haze just now, and said, "Hurry up and bring it in."

Seeing him so happy, Wuqing was also aroused by him, and curious about the contents of the box: "What's inside?"

With a smirk all over her face, Yun Chuxiu leaned close to his ear and said, "They are all good things that cannot be found outside..."

It's not that there are no outsiders here, he was so close, Wuqing blushed instantly, and gave him a slight push.

It was only then that Yun Chuxiu realized that those wooden stakes with no winking spirit were still standing there, and said angrily, "Why don't you hurry down and wait for the king to lead you the way!"

The little servant didn't know what he did wrong, seeing the little prince was angry, he immediately scrambled out.

At this time, Yun Chuxiu realized that Gu Xiaorui was good - at least the two eyeballs of this guy are useful!

When there were only two people left in the front hall, Yun Chuxiu mysteriously opened the box.

Wuqing thought it was some precious bumps and rare objects, but they were just magic tools that can be seen everywhere in Buddhist temples.

He looked at Zhihuan blankly, "What does this mean?"

Yun Chuxiu said "seriously": "The emperor's reward has been rewarded, and the punishment has also been punished. It's time for us to go back to the Yulan Courtyard."

"I passed by my mother's house on the way. I have to buy some gifts to see your brothers..." He deliberately prolonged the tone of "my mother's house" to embarrass him.

Sure enough, Wuqing became furious with embarrassment, he wished he could take a feather duster and knock on this man's head, knocking out all the irrelevant thoughts inside.

Yun Chuxiu giggled, rummaged around in the big box, and finally found the treasure.

He stuffed a book into Wuqing's arms, and said earnestly: "I see that you like to read books in the study room on weekdays. Most of the books there are talking about big truths, which are very annoying. I bought them specially for you. A book to relieve boredom, just flip through it when you have nothing to do..."

Wuqing looked at him dubiously, not really believing that this person could be kind, but seeing that he was so serious, he still opened it to read.

Just one look, and he was furious.

This, this... what kind of book is this!

Obviously a erotic picture!

The painting on it is even more exaggerated than what he saw that night in the Xanfeng Pavilion!

Wuqing was so angry that he threw the book on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Yun Chuxiu!"

Yun Chuxiu picked up the book from the ground distressedly, and blew the ashes on it, but still did not feel Wuqing's anger, and said distressedly: "I have spent a lot of effort to find this... Now I am willing to draw this kind of book. It's really hard to find a craftsman for this book, and it's even harder to find such high-quality..."

Wuqing clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves silently, Yun Chuxiu continued to shamelessly said: "How about we study on the bed at night?"

It's really unbearable!

Wuqing punched Yun Chuxiu in the chest with the same vigor as for tickling a cat, but he was pulled into his arms directly, misinterpreting his meaning: "What are you in a hurry for...not at night..."

Wu Halal is so angry that he wants to vomit blood.

At this time, the young servant sent a message outside: "My lord, Prince Mo is here."

Yun Chuxiu had no choice but to go out to greet the guests with a gloomy face.

Wuqing thanked King Moxian for saving him from the fire and water from the bottom of his heart.
