Rebirth of the Golden Bastard

Xia Yunqing followed someone's hands, her eyes fell on a hideous scar on her chest, her eyes darkened.

"It was hurt when I was a child." He moved away Xia Cangqiao's hand without any trace, and reached out to grab the inner coat on the screen to wrap himself up.

Drops of water fell down on the clothes along the wet black hair, Xia Yunqing stepped out of the barrel, and the drops of water dragged a trail on the floor.

Cang Qiao followed the man's footsteps into the back room, and the man wiped his head with a clean white cloth and tied up his clothes.

"How did you get hurt?" Cang Qiao was still curious. Visually, the wound didn't look like it was bumped, but it looked like it was injured by a sharp weapon.

Xia Yunqing downplayed it, "It's just a scratch from practicing martial arts."

Cang Qiao opened her mouth and said "Wow", "It's so dangerous."

Xia Yunqing glanced at him, didn't say much, and squeezed the water from the end of her hair with a white cloth.Cang Qiao's eyes fell on the familiar embroidered handkerchief on the wooden table.

"This is..." He remembered that he asked Xia Yunqing to ask for it from a girl a few days ago, "You haven't returned it yet?"

"It's not easy to pay back." Xia Yunqing also looked at the embroidered handkerchief, frowning slightly, "Or I'll send someone to deliver it another day..."

"No, no." Cang Qiao waved his hand, "You asked someone to come, so naturally you have to return it yourself." He rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Otherwise, I'll help you to return it, anyway, this matter is I picked it up."

Xia Yunqing thought it would be a good thing to get rid of the hot potato as soon as possible, but when she saw Cang Qiao's weird smiling face, she felt a little thumped in her heart.

"Is that all right?"

"What's wrong?" Cang Qiao picked up the embroidered handkerchief and ran out, "I'll help you return it now!"

……

The sky has just darkened, and it is the beginning of day in the land of fireworks.The red lanterns are hung high, and the sound of zither and sonata can be heard endlessly.

Cang Qiao brought Gu Xiao to the door, Gu Xiao was a little nervous and pulled the man's cuff.

"Young master...if the master knows this..."

Cang Qiao glanced at him, "Did he know little before?"

Gu Xiao was speechless.

A woman at the gate of Yixiang Garden saw Xia Cangqiao, first she was surprised that there was such a good-looking Mr. Pianpian in the capital, but then she realized that Xia Cangqiao was the most beautiful young master in the entire capital.

A trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes: If you win over Xia Cangqiao, you will definitely not be short of real money, but if you offend this eccentric young master, a few lives are not enough to pay.

While struggling, another girl had already passed by her, calling Xia Cangqiao from afar.

"Master Xia!" The woman's voice was sweet, but not uncomfortable.The woman who missed the opportunity because of momentary hesitation at the door suddenly regretted it.

"What kind of wind is this that brings you here." The girl's face was like peach blossoms, she was dressed in green clothes and plain hairpins, she was very polite, she was worthy of Yixiangyuan's style.

Gu Xiao followed behind worriedly, seeing Cang Qiao being led into the door by a woman, encouraged herself, and finally raised her legs and stepped in.

Just as soon as he crossed the threshold, Gu Xiao's face collapsed: His innocence... just disappeared.

When Cang Qiao turned her head, what she saw was this scene: the young man was standing at the door with his sleeves clutched, as if he had entered hell instead of a house.The heroic sacrifice on that face...

Cang Qiao wanted to laugh, but the girl looked back and immediately understood.She winked at a girl next to her, and the dexterous girl in a light-yellow blouse approached Xiao Gu and looked at him with a smile, "Little brother, do you want something to eat?"

When Gu Xiao saw a woman talking to him, his expression seemed to swallow a hundred flies.Looking at people's eyes is like meeting a tiger and going down the mountain.

Cang Qiao laughed while going upstairs: "Gu Xiao! Keep up! It's impolite to stare at girls!"

Only then did Gu Xiao come back to his senses, two blushes flew up on his cheeks, he lifted up his robe and hurriedly went upstairs.

The woman in the yellow shirt also followed, still teasing Gu Xiao who wanted to shrink herself up.

……

It's actually normal for Gu Xiao to have this kind of reaction.Although he usually followed Xia Cangqiao, but when a man wanted to go out to look for flowers, drink and gamble, he would never take him with him.So he had never entered these places except before redeeming himself.

Yixiang Garden does not have such a heavy rouge and vulgar powder, and there are young and tender potted plants around.There are no bead curtains and silk tents that are too ambiguous.In the private seats on the first floor separated by a screen, the sounds of conversation and the clinking of wine bottles are no different from those of ordinary restaurants.

Cang Qiao watched curiously all the way, and there were different signs hanging on the door of each guest room on the second floor.

The woman with Cang Qiao pushed open one of the doors, the front hall was connected to the bedroom, separated by a screen, and on the screen was a picture of a flowery maid, elegant and unique.

"Two young masters, sit down." The girl in Tsing Yi introduced herself: "Little girl Yushu, this is my younger sister called Yingyao."

She was referring to the woman in the yellow shirt who followed into the room. The woman looked a little mischievous, with small bells tied on both wrists and cuffs, and she kept looking at Gu Xiao with interest.

Cang Qiao lifted her robe and sat down, and took out an embroidered handkerchief from her bosom, "I'm here to find a girl in red."

Yu Shu not only laughed, "My lord, you are really joking. The girls here either wear red or green, or yellow, yellow and green, and there are also purple and white clothes. Where can I find a girl in red?"

Yingyao looked curiously at the embroidered handkerchief on the table, and said, "Isn't this Qin and sister's?"

Yushu glared at Yingyao indiscriminately, the woman stopped talking immediately, Yushu turned to look at Cangqiao again: "Since it's Qin and sister, let me go find her."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Cang Qiao said with a smile.

……

Both Yushu and Yingyao backed out, and when they reached the stairs, Yushu turned around and gave Yingyao a chestnut on her forehead.

"You stupid girl, the best business is pushed to other people."

Yingyao curled her lips, "Is that called or not?"

"Of course I have to scream." Yu Shu sighed, and grabbed a passing boy, "Go to Qin and Sister's room, and say that Young Master Xia is looking for her."

The young man responded, and strolled forward with the tea tray in his hand.Na Yingyao still laughed: "Don't look at Xia Cangqiao being so casual, the book boy beside him is still a baby."

Yushu rolled his eyes: "That's not sure."

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't everyone in the capital spreading the word that Xia Cangqiao doesn't like women."

Yingyao covered her mouth and was about to cry out, when suddenly there was a coughing sound from her side.

The two turned their heads together, and saw Qin He, who was dressed in red and had an elegant demeanor, looking at them with raised eyebrows.

"Are you free?" Qin He raised one corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Mom was talking about you two just now."

Yushu's face changed, and he quickly grabbed Yingyao, saluted Qin and Fu, and hurried downstairs.

Qin He snorted softly, and walked towards Xia Cangqiao's room with a flick of her sleeves, followed by a little maid who was the one who called Xia Yunqing to stop that day.

Qin He pushed open the door, and Gu Xiao turned her head in shock.Cang Qiao stretched Erlang's legs to peel melon seeds, propped one hand on the edge of the window sill, and stared at the night outside the house.

"Master Xia." Qin He saluted at the door, then strolled in.

The little maid behind him closed the door, Cang Qiao turned to look at him, pointed at the embroidered handkerchief on the table with her fingers pinching the melon seeds: "Here, return yours."

Qin He glanced at it, but didn't answer it. He gently lifted his skirt and sat on the wooden chair opposite, "The little girl has an appointment with Master Xia Er, and he has to return it in person."

"Hey." Cang Qiao waved his hand, "If I hadn't bullied him, he wouldn't have asked you to borrow a handkerchief, so it's the same if I return it."

Qin He looked at him with a half-smile, but didn't get entangled in this matter.She winked at the maid beside her, and the little maid stepped forward and put away the embroidered handkerchief.

Cang Qiao looked at it casually, seeing that it was really retracted, he lifted his robe and stood up.

"I'll be back when I'm done..."

"Please wait a moment." Qin He raised his hand, his fingertips were like green onions in mid-air, and there seemed to be nothing, "It's rare to come here once, why don't let Qin He play a song for the young master."

"Are you taking money?" Cang Qiao blinked at him.

Qin He frowned, "How about I invite you?"

"That's good." Cang Qiao sat down as a matter of course, crossed Erlang's legs again and waited with great interest.

The maid looked at him with some disgust, but noticed that Gu Xiao beside him was looking at him nervously.She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked over with a questioning look, but the other party looked away again.

"Ling'er?" Qin He's voice drew the girl's attention back, and the little maid who was replaced by Ling'er hurriedly yelled, and moved the screen on one side to reveal the xylophone arranged behind.

Ding dong music like spring water soon flowed in the room, Cang Qiao squinted her eyes slightly, with her chin resting on her palm, her fingers beat the beat bit by bit on the side of her face.

After an unknown amount of time, at least the pot of Huadiao in front of Cang Qiao was drunk, and there was a sudden commotion downstairs.

……

"Ling'er, go and have a look." Qin He's hand left the strings, and the gentle clanking sound stopped abruptly.Cang Qiao opened her eyes, and saw that the little girl was opening the door to look out, suddenly there were many chaotic footsteps in the corridor, several tall figures flashed by the window, suddenly pushed Ling'er away and appeared behind the door.

"Everyone, come out!" The person who came was wearing armor, with a sword at his side, and seemed to be a member of the government.

Cang Qiao stood up, reached out to touch her clothes, and subconsciously said, "A temporary inspection? I didn't bring my ID card..."

Qin He glanced at him inexplicably, then turned to look at the man again, "Master, I don't know what happened..."

Before she finished speaking, the man waved his hand impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense! Come out first before talking! Come downstairs!"

Qin He was a little embarrassed, and stretched out his hands to straighten his hair beside his ears, leading Ling'er out of the room first.Cang Qiao reached out to take an orange and walked out. Only then did the man see the appearance of the people in the room, and his expression changed.

"Xia, Master Xia..."

"Hello." He nodded, reached out and stuffed the orange into the man's hand, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll give it to you."

"……thanks……"

When we got downstairs, the hall on the first floor was already full of people.There are guests, girls, and servant girls.People were whispering uncomfortably, Xia Cangqiao stood by the wooden railing on the second floor, and found Yushu and Yingyao in the crowd looking up at him.

"Master Xia can wait here for a while." The soldier holding the orange said awkwardly, "If you don't want to be crowded with them..."

The man's voice was not loud, but it was not small either.Many people standing at the stairs looked up at them with some disdain.

Cang Qiao touched her ears and yawned, "Whatever, but can you tell me what happened first? Anti-pornography?"

The man said: "There was a murder case in the alley outside Yixiang Garden, we are just doing it as a routine."

"Murder case?" Cang Qiao became curious, "Who died?"

"Two homeless men." The soldier cupped his fists, "I'm on business, so I can't say more."

After speaking, he turned around and led the other soldiers behind him down the stairs.

Cang Qiao rubbed his chin, Gu Xiao came over nervously and said, "Master, are you okay?"

"What's the matter?" Cang Qiao turned to look at him suspiciously.

"It's not going to happen again... Let's frame the young master..." Gu Xiao blinked anxiously.

Cang Qiao rolled her eyes, "Do you think I have Conan's physique?"

"Conan?"

There was commotion outside the gate of Yixiangyuan, and a tall man in golden armor walked in with solemn strides.Cang Qiao stood a little far away and couldn't see clearly, but Gu Xiao became excited when he saw the figure of the man.

"That's General Ying!"

"Who?"

"Second Young Master's master!"
