Brilliant thorn

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a jade screen wall, engraved with birds and animals, lifelike.

Bypassing the screen wall and passing through the square front yard is the hall where the head of the Yan family usually receives and entertains guests.

When the butler heard that the young lady who had run away from home had returned to the mansion, he hurried in: "Miss, if you don't come back, the madam will go out to find someone herself."

Yan Feishuang blinked guiltily, and looked outside the hall: "Where's Dad?"

"Master went to Shen's house in Pingchuan, and he will return in a few days."

The butler saluted Shi Yi and Fu Shaoyu, and then looked at Xiao Jue who was facing him.

Yan Feishuang introduced: "This is Mr. Xiao Jue Xiao," she deliberately emphasized, "He is a good friend of Brother Fu. Uncle Feng, go and ask someone to clean up Xiyuan for the two distinguished guests to live in."

Fu Shaoyu is quite famous and has always been the guest of Yan's residence. Hearing that Xiao Jue is Fu Shaoyu's good friend, the housekeeper dared not neglect him, so he hurriedly went.

"Cousin, you go to the dining room first, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look!"

Yan Feishuang disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Shi Yi led the people through the hall to the backyard.

Just in April, the spring sun is mild and harmless, flowing down like water, washing the scene of branches and pistils in the garden more and more lively.Looking at it from a distance, the fresh green tender powder is intertwined, shining fine silver light, which is very beautiful.

Xiao Jue was taken aback for a moment.

With great difficulty, he sneaked out of the small dark room, his calves were flying fast, rolling and crawling, and he narrowly escaped several servants before he came to the garden.

The rockery and rocks in the garden, the winding corridors, the ponds and bridges, you will never forget them after just one glance.

If there is a first escape, there will be a second and a third time.

He likes to lie behind the rockery by the pond, watching the wind blowing and the petals falling on the water, which is very beautiful.

It's just that pollen often flies into the eyes, which is painful and itchy, very uncomfortable.

After rubbing it several times to no avail, Xiao Juehong looked around in fear with eye circles, making sure that there was no one there, then carefully took off the blindfold and put it aside, rolled up his sleeves and leaned into the water.

His mother forbade him to take off the blindfold, and he had to wear it when he slept. If he was found out, she would be angry.

When no one was around, he had to put it on again after washing his face.

Just as he was thinking, his back was suddenly kicked hard, his young body wobbled and fell into the shallow pond.

There was malicious laughter from the shore.

Just as Xiao Jue emerged from the water with his arms flailing, he was kicked back again. After several struggles, the people on the shore stopped playing such pranks.

The hair was wet and stuck to most of his face, and the embarrassed appearance caused the man to laugh again.

It was a bit cold in the water, Xiao Jue crossed his arms and asked timidly: "I, can I go? I'm so cold, I want to find my mother."

Even though his mother never hugged him or even looked at him, but at this time, he still instinctively wanted to find her.

It's okay to be beaten and scolded.

it's too cold.

"Which family are you a child from? What are you doing sneakily in my pond?" The man on the shore squatted down by the pond, holding a branch in his hand, and poked Xiao Jue on the forehead.

Xiao Jue tilted his head away, looked at the other person a few times, and whispered: "You are also a child." After a pause, he added: "This is my home."

"Your family? Then what's your name?" Yan Xinghan laughed angrily at him, and the branches kept shaking, almost poking Xiao Jue's eyes.

Xiao Jue said "I" for a while, but didn't say anything else, and the people on the shore became even more arrogant.

"What am I? Can't tell? Are you afraid that you didn't find out the name of the young master of Yan's mansion, so you sneaked into his mansion to steal things?"

"No, it's not..." Xiao Jue shook his head hastily, his pale face turned red at the moment, "I...don't have a name."

People in the yard called him "that who".

Although he is young, he knows that is not the name.

"Are you fooling a fool? How old are you and you don't have a name yet?" Yan Xinghan threw the branch into the water viciously, stretched out his legs to kick Xiao Jue, and said plausibly, "I told you to pretend! I don't even look at your poverty Whether or not you deserve to pretend to be my young master."

Xiao Jue choked on the water, and the fear of suffocation made him struggle violently.

In the confusion, he grabbed the man's ankle and dragged him into the water.

The real young master of the Yan family was dragged down by the brocade clothes soaked in water, and he was about to sink to the bottom after a few thumps. He hugged Xiao and refused to let go.When the two sank together, their hair was swayed by the water waves, Yan Xinghan saw Xiao Jue's secret.

He wanted to yell like hell, and was poured a few more mouthfuls of pool water.

Later, the two were picked up one after another, and Xiao Jue was still thinking about their names.

All the cats and dogs in the yard have names, why doesn't he have one?

He also wanted a name, he didn't want to be treated like a thief and called "that who" anymore.

"Mother, I, what's my name?"

His answer was a slap with great force.

He was staggered by the slap, and almost fell back into the water. Only when he saw the eye mask that he had carefully placed before, did he realize that he had caused a catastrophe.

He crawled over in a panic, grabbed the corner of the woman's skirt, and begged for mercy in a crying voice: "I'm wrong with my mother, I don't dare to run around again..."

Those timid pupils were full of tears, but what they got in return was indifference and hatred engraved into the bone marrow.

At that moment, he understood that he did not deserve to have a name at all.

A person who shouldn't exist is even worse than the cats and dogs in the yard.

Therefore, even if he was kicked out half a year later, or even picked up by Cui Yushu from the mass grave, he would still be an unknown person.Until—meet that person.

"Why don't you speak? If you don't answer again, I'll call you a little mute."

"Oh, I've been pestering you for several days, little ancestor, can you say something?"

"Little dumb, I'm leaving. We won't see each other for a long time. Tell me your name."

……

He hesitated for a long time before answering, "I...don't have a name."

After a moment of silence, the boy laughed: "Then how about I give you one?"

"Xiao Jue? Do you like it?" The voice in the ear overlapped vaguely with the memory.

"Yeah, I like it." Xiao Jue didn't come back to his senses, he responded softly, and the top of his head was rubbed suddenly.

He looked up, the mist in his eyes hadn't faded, and he looked a little innocent.

Fu Shaoyu smiled and said, "What are you thinking? I was distracted all the way."

The color of the eyes became cold at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even vaguely carried a murderous intent.

An unknown fire suddenly sprang up.

Just as he was about to slap that haunting hand away, his eyes were suddenly covered by it.

"Go away!"

Xiao Jue scolded in a hoarse voice, tilting his head to hide, but the back of his head was also pinned down.

"Shh-"

The man's deep voice rang close to his ears, "When you think of something bad, take a few deep breaths so that your emotions won't leak out."

The palm was lightly scratched by the eyelashes, as if catching a butterfly that was about to cry.

Fu Shaoyu couldn't help himself, he hugged this person into his arms, and after a moment, they separated.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you." Fu Shaoyu took his seat first, and then patted the seat next to him, "Come here."

Xiao Jue glanced around, sat down, and asked coldly, "Where are the others?"

"You are not happy to say that you are distracted," Fu Shaoyu smiled, "Shi Yi just asked you if you eat spicy food, but you ignored me. I asked twice before you agreed. He probably felt embarrassed and used an excuse to go to the kitchen Let me tell you, it's only a matter of time if I can hide for a while."

"What about you?" Xiao Jue asked.

"What?" Fu Shaoyu picked up the teapot and poured tea for him, acting like a master.

"Others avoid me like a plague god, why do you insist on coming over here?" Xiao Jue looked at him with his chin in his hands, and tapped his blindfold with his fingers bent, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

The difference in the pupils is a demon.

Because of giving birth to a "monster" like him, my mother was charged with "infidelity" and expelled from the house. She hated his birth until she died, calling him a disaster.

The hand that poured the tea paused, Fu Shaoyu raised his eyelids to look at him, and smiled inexplicably: "You and I, it's not sure who is the root of the trouble."

"you……"

"Brother Young Master?"

The tentative address at the door interrupted the conversation between them, Fu Shaoyu stood up, and the rushing person clasped his fists and said, "Xinghan, long time no see."

"It's really you? I'm fooling myself." Yan Xinghan stepped into the threshold, and Xiao Jue saw that he was slender, dressed in brocade clothes, and full of the air of a rich young man.

He secretly took a few deep breaths, suppressed the turbulent emotions, and stood up.

"Xiao Jue has admired Mr. Yan's name for a long time, and seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary."

Yan Xinghan and Fu Shaoyu looked over at the same time, the corners of Xiao Jue's mouth curled up, his eyes filled with sincerity.

Yan Xinghan had heard a lot of praise, whether it was sincere or false, he was tired of hearing it, and now he just nodded casually, without even seeing Xiao Jue's face clearly, he turned his gaze to Fu Shaoyu .

"Brother Shaoyu knows that I'm getting married next month, right? You are not allowed to leave this time, you must drink a glass of wedding wine."

"That's natural."

Contempt and enthusiasm, switching very smoothly.

"Are you going to eat at home?" Yan Xinghan glanced at the table, there was only a plate of cold dishes for the time being, "How can the food at home be better than the ones in Zuixianlou outside? Come, I will welcome you."

"Hey, don't," Shi Yi heard this when he came back from the kitchen, he hurriedly stopped him, and said in a low voice: "Fei Shuang specially ordered the dishes in the kitchen, if you don't eat them, she should be angry."

"Who cares what that girl is doing? Let's go," Yan Xinghan moved closer, and said with a meaningful smile, "Miss Chu Yao from Zuixian Tower has finally loosened her attitude recently, maybe seeing Brother Shaoyu tonight, this beautiful thing will come true It's over."

Fu Shaoyu didn't speak, just turned his head to look at his side, Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of teasing.

Shi Yi said seriously: "Xinghan, don't mess around, you are the one who is going to get married."

"So what? I've only met my fiancée once, and I haven't even seen whether she is beautiful or ugly. I still have to defend her?" Yan Xinghan didn't change his face, and looked at Fu after a pause. Shao Yu, "Brother Shao Yu won't mind?"

This question was asked abruptly, but those who knew the key to it immediately understood what he meant.

It is said that Yan Xinghan's fiancée, Lan Zhi, has admired Fu Shaoyu for a long time, and once cared for him without thinking about food and drink, so Fu Shaoyu went to Cuiping Mountain specially for this reason.

Some people say that they spent several spring nights together and became lovers, and some people said that Fu Shaoyu recognized a cheap sister...

No one could say for sure what happened to these two people, but what was certain was that Yan Xinghan didn't take this marriage seriously at all, and even had contempt for it.

Despite his casual tone.

But someone like Xiao Jue, who didn't know the inside story, heard something was wrong, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stared fixedly at Fu Shaoyu.

"Xinghan, did you get drunk before drinking?" Shi Yi tugged at Yan Xinghan's cuff, signaling him to restrain himself with his eyes.

Yan Xinghan pretended not to know, and looked at Fu Shaoyu with a smiling face of a romantic son: "Brother Shaoyu, you are not married yet, so you don't need to guard yourself for anyone, right? You should go to the Zuixian Tower this time." not going?"

Before Fu Shaoyu could answer, he added with a half-smile: "You can answer after thinking about it, our brotherhood depends on what you say."

"go."

The person who spoke was Xiao Jue.

The other three looked at him in unison, Xiao Jue curled his mouth and looked at Fu Shaoyu without warmth: "Right? Brother Shaoyu."

Fu Shaoyu twitched his brows, he couldn't do it if he didn't go.
