my lord is sick

The Gu worm was eaten by Xiao Chengzhou

The weather was gloomy yesterday, and thunder and lightning struck the roof of Xie's house, Marquis of Mingyi, Jingdu. Because the thunder made a lot of noise, and it was raining, the fire just started, but was extinguished by the alert servants of the Hou's mansion. , It's just that the lightning cut off a ridge of the roof, the fire didn't burn much, but a corner of the house collapsed.In addition to the loss caused by the collapse of this house, the day is approaching, and the jokes of "Ming Yihou's house was struck by lightning" began to spread throughout the capital.

Mrs. Xie Hou's wife, Wu Ling, worked most of the night because of the "thunderstorm" incident, and was served by someone to rest for a while when it was almost dawn, so she was a little depressed today.During breakfast, she heard the servants report the rumors outside, and she didn't care. She frowned slightly, thinking about other things, and asked, "Where's Yan'er? Are you up?"

The servant said: "The young master left early in the morning."

Wu Ling was a little angry, and put down the spoon, "This kid, we agreed not to go out today."

At this time, the bead curtain was lifted, and a servant woman who was about [-] years old walked in.

Seeing her, Wu Ling hurriedly asked, "Mother Liu, did you find something?"

Nanny Liu shook her head: "Ma'am, I searched all over, but I didn't see the black box you mentioned. The old servant wondered if it had been burned by lightning?"

When Wu Ling heard this, her brows became more worried, "I'll look for it again."

The servant waiting at the side heard it, and suddenly said: "The box Madam mentioned, is it palm-sized, square, black, with gold lines painted on it?"

"Exactly!" Wu Ling got up and walked to the servant, "Where did you see that?"

Seeing Wu Ling's serious questioning, the servant didn't dare to be careless, and replied cautiously: "When the young master went out in the morning, I saw him throwing a black box while walking. At that time, I secretly glanced at it. It was like this."

Wu Ling's expression changed drastically, and she couldn't help but take two steps back, and Nanny Liu hurried up to support her.

Wu Ling rubbed her sore forehead, and hurriedly ordered: "Go find the young master, send more people, immediately! Immediately!"

When the whole Hou Mansion was in motion because of Xie Yan, Xie Yan was carrying a black box painted with gold thread, waving a fan in his hand, and led his book boy Nan Xing to the Zuixuan Building just now.

After entering the box that had been reserved early in the morning, the three friends who had a good relationship with Xie Yan were all there, and when they saw Xie Yan coming in, they all joked.

"I knew you wouldn't come today!"

"Didn't your house be struck by lightning? How can you come out for a leisurely stroll?"

"My dad lost a chess set to your dad yesterday, and when he left, my dad was still at home gloating."

Xie Yan walked to the seat reserved for him by the crowd and sat down, took a sip of tea, smiled and said indifferently: "It was one of the warehouses of my house that was smashed, some fragile porcelain bottles and dishes were broken, and there was no other loss. There is my father and my elder brother in the house, how can I be used."

Xie's family is in the aristocratic circle of the capital, although they only bear the name of the Marquis Mansion, but his grandmother is the eldest princess of the current dynasty and the current aunt.When Jinshang succeeded to the throne, the Eldest Princess contributed a lot, so Jinshang respected this aunt very much, Xie Yan's family followed suit, and they were acquaintances of Jinshang before him.

In addition, Xie Yan was born with red lips and white teeth, a pair of round almond eyes, cunning and agile, very lovable, so many people liked to play around him since he was a child.Xie Yan is very picky about his friends, and those who can call him brothers, even if they are more dudes, but they will never do bad things that are unconscionable.

When the few of them get together, they just eat, drink, and "bully" those bullying bastards on weekdays.The reason they gathered here today is because they heard that their rival Song Yichun found a very rare treasure, and vowed to beat them in the treasure fight in half a month.

Because the literati's books are vivid, they hold a competition of poems and essays. These dudes, few of them have ink in their stomachs, so what are they fighting for?No ink, they have a lot of money, there must be a few valuable treasures.So a few dandies held this treasure fight, and it lasted for many years.

Zheng Peng smashed the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said with a snort, "Song Yichun, that bastard, has already said that he wants to show us this time."

Lu Yu said disdainfully: "It's him? Isn't it relying on the power of the fourth prince!"

Wang Rui said hesitantly: "But I see that Song Yichun has the winning chance, we won't really lose to him, right? Seeing that the Dou Baohui is coming soon, can the ones we prepared guarantee that we can also win against Song Yichun this time?" ?”

Speaking of this, Zheng Peng and Lu Yu also had a headache.They have a lot of valuable treasures, but few are valuable and rare, and it's really not easy to win in a group of people. In the past two years, they were the winners, but looking at Song Yichun's posture this year, it may not be so.

"What are you afraid of! We will definitely win this year." Xie Yan said, mysteriously taking out the black box painted with gold from his sleeve.

The three of Zheng Peng surrounded him and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Xie Yan proudly said: "This is a good treasure I just got last night."

He opened the box, revealing two worms inside.The worms are all jade white, one is the size of a human little fingernail, and one is only half the size of the other.Both worms have wings, and if you look closely, whether it's their antennae or limbs, or the moire-like patterns on their wings, they are all clearly visible, very beautiful.

The three of Zheng Peng looked at it and said disappointedly: "Aren't they just two little flying insects carved from jade? What's so rare about this?"

Xie Yan became anxious, "If this is really the case, I still don't have the face to show off, they are alive."

As he spoke, Xie Yan stretched out his hand and poked the larger flying insect. The jade white insect that looked like a decoration suddenly glowed with a slightly lustrous white light, making it even more gorgeous.

Zheng Peng and the others approached in surprise again, "Really, it's alive! Can it fly?"

"How is it? This is definitely better than Song Yichun." Xie Yan looked at them triumphantly, seeing that they were all poking with their hands, he hurriedly waved them away, "Stop poking, if we poke to death, why should we fight Song Yichun? .”

He stretched out his hand, ready to put away the little flying insects, but at this moment, those two little flying insects, who had been quiet just now, suddenly flapped their wings and flew up.

Everyone in the box was shocked.

"Quick, grab them!"

Xie Yan jumped up and stretched out his hands to catch the smaller flying insects, but the insects were very nimble and flicked left and right, but Xie Yan couldn't touch them. When he was in a hurry, the insects suddenly bumped into his neck.

"Ah!" Xie Yan felt a sharp pain on the side of his neck, he stretched out his hand to pat there, but nothing was patted.

The sharp pain came and disappeared suddenly, Xie Yan scratched that place again, and there was no abnormality at all.The little bug he was chasing disappeared, Xie Yan only thought it had flown to another place, waiting to be found, when Zheng Peng and the others exclaimed.

"Close the window, close the window!"

"Ah! It flew out!"

Xie Yan rushed to the window, watching the bigger flying insect fly to the street downstairs and land on a man who happened to pass by here.

"Hey! Hey! The young master below!" Xie Yan lay on his knees by the window, waving his hands desperately to attract the attention of the person below.

The man was walking slowly, when he heard the shout, he looked up.

Zheng Peng and the others shrank their necks together, "Cheng, King Cheng?!"

Xie Yan was also taken aback, why is it this evil star.But he looked at the little flying insect that was parked behind King Cheng's neck, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "My lord, wait for me, don't go away yet!"

Surprise flashed in Xiao Chengzhou's eyes, and when he saw Xie Yan's disappearing back, he suddenly felt a sharp pain from the back of his neck, he frowned suddenly, covered the back of his neck, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

His bodyguard, Kong Qing, looked around alertly and calmly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, there is nothing unusual."

"My lord, don't we go?" Another guard Chang Shan said.

Xiao Chengzhou shook his head slowly.

At this time, Xie Yan had already run downstairs. When he saw Xiao Chengzhou, he hesitated for a while, and finally walked towards Xiao Chengzhou in big strides. He didn't notice Kong Qing and Chang Shan's guarded expressions at all. He cupped his hands at Xiao Chengzhou, "My lord, I, I have something left on the back of your collar."

Chang Shan took a step back, looked at Xiao Chengzhou's collar, shook his head and said, "There is nothing."

"Impossible!" Xie Yan was surprised, and said to Xiao Chengzhou: "I watched it fly to your back collar and stay still."

So Kong Qing took a step back and looked at it, then shook his head: "No."

"How could it be!" Xie Yan was in a panic, the little bug had gone somewhere, and now he was pointing at the big flying bug to participate in the Battle of Treasures!In his desperation, he offended the next, and suddenly approached Xiao Chengzhou, grabbed his collar to find it himself.

Kong Qing and Chang Shan were about to draw out their knives almost the moment he moved, but it was Xiao Chengzhou who raised his hand slightly to stop their movements.

"How could it not be?!" Xie Yan turned Xiao Chengzhou's collar back and forth three times, but he didn't see the glowing white jade bug. He wondered if it had crawled into Xiao Chengzhou's clothes, and ran his hands along the clothes Just touch it down.

With a warm smile on Xiao Chengzhou's face, he stood there and let Xie Yan move his hands up and down, until Xie Yan fumbled around and touched his waist, then he said slowly: "Did you find it?"

The voice was very gentle, even with a bit of a smile, but Xie Yan suddenly remembered who he was touching, and suddenly became agitated, and retreated from Xiao Chengzhou's body, his face was pale, and he shook his head twice like a rattle.

"Then can I go?" Xiao Chengzhou asked kindly.

Xie Yan nodded like pounding garlic.

Xiao Chengzhou smiled at him again, straightened his clothes, and left here with two guards.

Zheng Peng and the others had also come down a long time ago, and they had been hiding under the gate of Zuixuan Building to look at this side. Xiao Chengzhou dared to come out after leaving them. The three of them beat Xie Yan's chest in admiration, "You are so brave, Xie Xiaoyan, Even King Cheng dares to touch it!"

Xie Yan was bewildered and afraid at the moment, and angrily punched back one by one, "It's all you, I didn't know to close the windows early, and now the bugs are gone!"

"Didn't find it?"

Xie Yan shook his head dejectedly, "It's gone."

Zheng Peng and the others were disappointed and regretful, so they comforted each other, "It's okay, there's still half a month left, let's try harder to find it."

The brothers are all big-hearted, and they will forget their troubles after a while when they are frustrated. It is better to be drunk now while having wine.They were about to go back upstairs to have a drink, but the servants of Xie Hou's mansion came and picked Xie Yan up and ran away without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, let me down!"

"Young master, Madam said, please go back immediately."

Xie Yan stuck out his tongue. The whole family was woken up by thunder in the middle of the night last night. His mother told him not to go out today, but he made an appointment with Zheng Peng and the others a few days ago. He couldn't break his promise with them, so he had to lie to his mother. , sneaked out.

Zheng Peng and the others knew that it was Mrs. Xie Hou who came out to arrest him, so they happily waved Xie Yan off, and continued to play happily together.

As soon as Xie Yan returned to the Hou Mansion, he saw his mother sitting on the ground with a serious face, probably waiting for him.

"Mother..." Xie Yan approached Wu Ling with a cute smile.

Today, Wu Ling was not in the mood to have a playful smile with him, and stretched out her hand directly: "Bring something."

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"The box." Wu Ling said heavily, "It's the size of a palm, black and painted with gold, and you threw it all the way out this morning."

Xie Yan shrunk his neck guiltily, "Mother, is that box important?"

Seeing his small movements, Wu Ling knew something was wrong, and said angrily, "Where's the box? Did you move the things inside?"

Seeing her mother like this, Xie Yan seemed to know that he might have made a mistake, and stammered, "Are you talking about those two little bugs inside? They, they're gone."

"It's gone?!" Wu Ling repeated his last three words, then thought of something, and reached out to pick off Xie Yan's clothes.

Xie Yan didn't dare to resist, Xia Ri's clothes were thin, Wu Ling easily pulled off Xie Yan's collar, pulled it to his chest, and looked at the red spot on Xie Yan's heart, which was smaller than the nail of a little finger. When the mole was removed, Wu Ling felt that all the strength in his body was taken away.

Changed the original setting, Xie Ziyi was changed to Xie Yan, and he was no longer the heir.
