Bastards are difficult

During the entanglement of several people, Zhang Yan came back. He was wearing a navy blue robe. He seemed to be a little unsteady when walking, and his eyes were a little hazy. When he saw someone making noise at his door, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Xiu snapped his fingers and snapped the hemp scriptures that the concierge was pulling on his arm (everyone who learns martial arts recognizes acupuncture points, not because they have some acupuncture skills, but because some acupuncture points are really dead when they touch them. In order to protect themselves, of course it is better for a doctor to recognize acupuncture points How ready), while the opponent’s arm was sore and numb, he ran to Zhang Yan’s side and grabbed his sleeve, crying tears: “Uncle Uncle, I’m Axiu, Uncle, look, I’m Axiu ah."

Zhang Yan's brain eroded by alcohol was dull for a long time before he replied: "Ah, Axiu, you are brother Xiu from the third family, right?"

Zhang Xiu's eyes were suffocated red, and the tears could not be shed: "Yes, uncle, why did you come back?"

Zhang Yan's hangover and turbulent mind finally recovered from the chaos. It seemed, as if, the son of the third brother who hated him just came back?Did you hand in a greeting card yesterday?

No wonder Zhang Yan is confused, he and Hua Meiniang have a pretty good relationship, but every man is greedy for sex, and Hua Meiniang is full of flirtatious charms, but after watching too much, no matter how talented or compatible they are This feeling also faded, and the older he got, the more impatient he was with the intrigues of the women in his family. Now that Hua Meiniang is in power, she has lost her previous considerateness. Although Hua Meiniang is still the most favored at home, it is only a month Just go to her room for five or six days, but others may not even have one or two days.

Some time ago Zhang Yan went out and met a country girl. The country girl was sixteen or seventeen years old. She was not very beautiful, but she loved to smile. When she smiled, there were two small dimples on her round apple face. Zhang Yan was attracted by the clear spring in the mountains.

Although Zhang Yan is not a good-for-nothing, he doesn't like to force others. Strictly speaking, he has a literati's artistic and romantic feelings. , but well-maintained, she looks like she is in her 30s, rich, free and caring, and it took a few months to finally get the girl to agree to be his concubine, and to write a letter of agreement so that the girl will not suffer a little. Wronged.

With Mrs. Sun ignoring Mrs. Hua's rage, it was difficult for this girl to enter Zhang's mansion. In a rage, Zhang Yan simply made this girl his second wife, and kept her outside in a bright way, and even found a few. A good hand guards the portal.

Yesterday when Zhang Yan came back, Hua Meiniang started crying again, and Zhang Yan became angry. He suddenly felt that Hua Meiniang was too ignorant. When he welcomed her into the mansion, his wife Sun didn't say anything. This Hua Meiniang However, a concubine's room is in charge of him. After all, he still remembers the previous relationship. Zhang Yan cursed unreasonably, then turned his head and left Uncle Anning's mansion to go to the second wife of his heart.

Zhang Yan thought for a long time before he said, "Oh, it's Axiu."

He has no impression of Zhang Xiu at all. The only thing he remembers is that he seems to be the eldest son of his third brother. When she was in power, she was pretty good to those concubine brothers, but in the past few years when Hua Mei Niang was in power, she had no other contacts except for the annual ceremony (the annual ceremony in the Anningbo Mansion is getting smaller every year), and even the death of the Hang family This side only sent a servant to express condolences, and even Zhang Yan himself didn't know about these things.

"When did Axiu come back?"

Zhang Xiu said: "Yesterday, uncle, let's go into the mansion?" What did this uncle think of him and stopped him at the door?

Zhang Yan was stunned: "Oh yes, when did Ah Xiu come? Why didn't you go in?"

Zhang Xiu smiled embarrassedly: "It didn't take long, but the concierge brother said that the uncle and the two elder brothers were not at home, and there were female relatives at home who were afraid of collisions, so I waited for a while, and the uncle came back in time. It didn't take long. .”

Zhang Yan also laughed: "If that's the case, go in, Shanbao, go tell Madam, and say Brother Xiu is back."

Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed, his uncle is not completely confused, he thought he would let someone tell Aunt Hua.

Zhang Yan directly took Zhang Xiu to the main hall, and only then did Zhang Yan have time to carefully observe what this nephew looked like when he entered the room.

Dasheng did not prohibit martial arts like the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he also encouraged literati, so the standard of a handsome man in the eyes of the people at the time was simply handsome. As for Zhang Xiu, although her height is not bad, she looks too thin, and her face looks prettier than that of a woman, so Zhang Yan doesn't like it.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, if there is no power in his hands and no backing behind him, Zhang Xiu's appearance is a disaster.

Masculinity is prevalent now, and many people like such male and female boys. Besides, Zhang Xiu is now thirteen or fourteen, which happens to be the best time.

Zhang Yan didn't like it, so he didn't want to talk to him anymore. No matter how capable Zhang Qian was, he wasn't a second-rank or first-rank official, but a local official, not enough for him to look at him differently, even though he was already the most promising among the Zhang family brothers. people.

After briefly greeting the family, he fell silent again. Zhang Yan didn't expect that Zhang Qian would set up a concubine as the official. Zhang Qian sent people back to the capital to change the genealogy in a very secret way, except for a few foreigners Knowing that, Zhang Yan naturally didn't know either, he just felt that this younger brother was becoming more and more outrageous.

Zhang Qian is not very old, even marrying another stepwife is a matter of course, maybe it will change the fate of his heirs, but after hearing that Zhang Qian now has three sons and one daughter, he can't help being a little jealous.

His eldest son was born early, and after several efforts, he only got a concubine son, but there was no other news (the daughter was completely ignored by him), and he did not expect Zhang Qian to have three prostitutes.

However, one is the real son of the legitimate son, the other is the eldest son of the half descendant of the descendant, and the other is the half son of the descendant, but they are two brothers, and what will happen in the future is uncertain.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but said: "My nephew heard that Uncle is good at wine, so he specially brought two bottles of wine from the Western Regions for Uncle, please don't be offended by Uncle."

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up immediately: "No wonder, no wonder, where is it?"

Traditionally, fine wines in the Western Regions have always referred to wine, but this wine is rare, and is usually presented to the emperor as a tribute. Occasionally, a family of meritorious dignitaries can get a bottle or two, and they treasure it and are reluctant to let others see it. Don't look at Anning Bo as an earl. In normal times, most of them are nobles, but in the eyes of the real dignitaries, they are not worth mentioning. Zhang Yan, a fine wine from the Western Regions, has also searched for it in many ways, but he got some, but the quality is low. good name.

Zhang Yan has no talent, but he likes to be arty, such as names, famous paintings, inkstones, fans, utensils (gold, jade, porcelain, etc.), famous wines, Zhang Qian is the closest to the Western Regions in the northwest, and some rare and rare good things are easy for him to get. Here Zhang Yan's heart suddenly itch.

Zhang Xiu went to the door and clapped his hands. Mingyan and three servants came in. Zhang Xiu opened four boxes one by one. The first one contained three bottles of grape wine, one bottle of dark red beauty's blood (that is, red wine), one The color of the bottle is light yellow with green, which is called Beauty Crisp (that is, white wine), and the bottle of peach color with powder is called Beauty Drunk (that is, pink wine). Crystal, but glass with impurities), the mouth was closed with a cork, and the bottom was soft white silk cloth, and the three bottles of wine that were lined with each had their own charms. Zhang Yan looked straight at the time.

In the second box is a complete set of glass wine utensils, including a glass plate, a palm-sized glass wine jug with a round belly and thin mouth, and six glass wine glasses that are as big as a thumb. It is transparent with light green, and the light green ribbons are of different shades on it. The thick one is slightly lighter than the green leaves, and the light one is almost colorless. It is priceless at first glance.

In the third box is a whole palm-sized piece of Hetian Nuanyu, which has not been carved, but presents a natural picture of a drunken beauty. Occasionally.

The fourth box contained two snow lotuses from the Tianshan Mountains. Zhang Yan’s eyeballs almost fell off. This thing is rarer than the previous three. Not low, but not to the point of bringing the dead back to life), and there is only one flower in the Zhang family's warehouse, which was accidentally obtained by Zhang Yan's grandfather when he was alive.

Zhang Yan rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes glowed like a wolf, and he was reluctant to move them away when he saw those things. Zhang Xiu smiled slightly: "Uncle, it's not easy for my father to get these things, but my father is thinking about uncle." , When I came back, I specially asked me to bring it back to my uncle."

Zhang Yan managed to restrain his greedy gaze, coughed a few times and said, "Your father has always been a good person, by the way, you go to see your aunt, she has been nagging to see you."

Seeing Zhang Yan put the four boxes on the table, Zhang Xiu said, "Yes, that nephew will leave."

When Zhang Xiu was about to leave the house, he heard Zhang Yan call him, turned his head to see Zhang Yan’s expression was a bit tangled, and was about to ask what’s the matter, when he heard Zhang Yan say: “It’s not peaceful in the capital these days, so don’t come out after you get home If you need anything, send someone to tell me."

Zhang Xiu's smile this time showed a trace of sincerity. Although this uncle is a bit high-minded, he is better than that hypocrite after all, and he can be regarded as cute: "Yes, thank you uncle."

Zhang Yan waved his hand: "Go, go." When Zhang Xiu walked out the door, he ran to the table and eagerly opened the boxes to enjoy them one by one.

Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when she went out. If these gifts are precious, the piece of Hetian jade is worth more. Snow lotus is a medicinal material, but in the northwest, these things are not lacking. As for other wines and the like , in Zhang Xiu's eyes, it was scum, and it was rare for the ancients.

The one who led the way was a girl called Biyun who served Zhang Yan's study. Zhang Xiu's appearance was a bit feminine among women, but he was a rare handsome man among women.

The ancestors of the Zhang family were not considered beautiful men, but after so many generations, the genes have been optimized a lot, otherwise Zhang Xiu would not be as good as he is now. You must know that the Yu family is more than delicate and beautiful. The most similar thing between mother and son is their skin and eyes.

Along the way, Biyun sneaked a few times, and every time he took a glance, his heart beat faster. The two sons of Uncle Anning's family were considered handsome, and when compared with this young nephew, they immediately turned into dirt on the ground.

Mingyan watched from behind and was secretly angry, feeling that her young master had been treated lightly by a girl, and there was no such blatant girl in their house, so Zhang Xiu just smiled and said nothing.

The author has something to say:

I made up the wine and so on, for the sake of sounding good.

Not to mention the unfinished glass products back then, this is empty text, so let’s try to have fun.

Probably one more tonight.
