Rebirth of the Golden Bastard

On the way back to the city, the two were very quiet with each other.

Cang Qiao took the initiative to speak several times, but Xia Yunqing seemed to be distracted.After getting along with this cheap brother for so long, he can feel the temperament of a man.

Xia Yunqing is a rare good man.This kind of good man does not mean a certain aspect, not about birth, character, or conduct.It's that all of these are integrated on him, but it is neither ostentatious nor prominent.His excellence is so excellent that you can't see how excellent he is at all.

He is obviously good at doing business like Master Xia, but from the surface, you can't tell how good he is.On the contrary, the fact that he is good at kung fu makes people feel that he is more like a powerful martial artist than the second young master and businessman of the Xia family.The saber on his waist is as low-key and restrained as his person.

Black hilt, black scabbard.There is no fancy decoration on it.

The man is always dressed in black brocade clothes, and his hair is combed meticulously.Compared with Wusheng, he was less impetuous and dangerous, but once he stood there, people couldn't ignore his existence.

Xia Cangqiao found that her feelings for Xia Yunqing were quite complicated. Xia Yunqing was a person who was easy to talk to at first glance.It's not like Wu who gets angry when he doesn't move, and he doesn't speak very frankly.Most of the time, he is silent, just like Gu Xiaoxiao's. When his face is expressionless, people don't know what he is thinking, so they don't dare to interrupt casually.

Cang Qiao thought of his former partner, who was somewhat similar to this guy.A person who doesn't talk much, always resists silently when there is any danger, and never expects anything in return.

Thinking of that person, Cang Qiao's mood faded again.He looked at the gate of the capital city in the distance, magnificent and majestic, and the guards by the gate brought out the majesty of the city.

Not so long ago, he didn't know his future fate.It's just hiding in the shadows of the city, trying not to attract the attention of others, and stealing some innocuous things in order to survive for a day.

He and a few companions of similar age formed a small gang. During the day, they were chased by patrol police in the alleys and fled for their lives. At night, they shared the booty with each other and made some harmless jokes.

They are used to cursing dirty words and smoking cigarettes, squatting on the road and watching the street lights dim and come on again.

He had no future at that time.Until his companion was injured, he went to the pharmacy to steal the medicine but was discovered. During his escape, he was met with harsh brakes and screams.

"elder brother?"

Xia Yunqing's voice drew his attention back, Cang Qiao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to touch the cigarette in his pocket, but his fingers touched the cold and unfamiliar fabric.

"Uh..." Cang Qiao changed her posture and reached out to touch her chin, "I'm hungry."

Gu Xiao looked at him helplessly, "Young master...you ate a lot at noon."

Cang Qiao chuckled, Xia Yunqing saw his strange expression: "Brother, are you alright?"

"No." Cang Qiao blinked and stretched, "Brother, why don't I patrol the shop with you tomorrow? I always feel a little boring every day..."

Gu Xiao's eyes lit up: "Let's read..."

"Ahem!" Cang Qiao turned her head, "Then what... why don't you go and play with Feng Yasong?"

Gu Xiao: "..."

……

Murong Ya sat in the main seat, looked at Xia Cangqiao who was in a daze in the next seat, and then looked at Xia Yunqing in puzzlement.

He indicated with his eyes——what's wrong with your brother?

Xia Yunqing was also puzzled, but he had gradually gotten used to it.Occasionally, Xia Cangqiao would suddenly fall into her own world, as if she was preoccupied with something, and seemed to miss something.

"Master Xia..." Murong Ya picked up the teacup, "You are also the most talked about person in the capital today."

Cang Qiao looked at him lazily, "Do you want to know why? Because I snatched Wu Sheng's porn book."

"Little..." Murong Ya almost choked, "Huang...?"

"Huang." Cang Qiao blinked, "Do you understand? It's erotic..."

"Stop!" Murong Ya calmly put down her teacup, cleared her throat, "I understand."

The titan stood beside Murong Ya expressionlessly, "Why did Master Xia want to snatch it?"

Murong Ya gave the titan a sideways look - this topic can stop here!

The titan lowered his head innocently, looked at his toes and fell silent.

"I just happened to come across it." Cang Qiao said boringly, "Hey, what do you do here?"

Murong Ya was puzzled: "What?"

"I'm bored." Cang Qiao slumped on the chair, "Isn't there anything else to do? What do you do every day?"

"I have business to deal with." Murong Ya gave him a white look, "If you're bored, how about going back to study and read?"

Gu Xiaomeng nodded.

Cang Qiao slapped the table and bounced, "You all underestimate me! I can read!"

Not much though!

"Oh?" Murong Ya became interested, "For example?"

"I can recite poetry!"

"All ears."

"..." Cang Qiao curled her lips, took out her fan and pretended, "Chun Mian doesn't realize it."

"Hmm..." Murong Ya blinked and looked at him curiously.

"Chun Mian doesn't feel the dawn, and I hear birds singing everywhere. The sound of wind and rain at night, how many flowers fall." Cang Qiao snorted, kindergarten children can recite it, and he can too!

As soon as his words fell, Murong Ya was stunned.Touching his chin, he stood up and turned around.

"Not bad." The more I read it, the more flavorful it becomes, and the more I read it, the more profound it becomes, "I don't know...wonderful!"

Murong Ya clapped her hands fiercely, "It's wonderful!"

Cang Qiao looked at him with a dry smile, "Wonderful, right? I think so too."

"Who taught you this?"

"Li Bai." Cang Qiao said his name casually without blushing.

Xia Yunqing looked at him inexplicably, "Who is that?"

He did not remember having such a gentleman in his family.

"A fairy is dreaming." Cang Qiao put away her fan, with a straight face, "Can we get out of the way?"

Murong Ya looked at him, and said immediately, "Actually, there is something recently, but I don't know if you would like it..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Cangqiao looked at him with bright eyes.

"Recently there was a hunting competition." Murong Ya sat down and said, "Paddock hunting happens every year at this time. Now the emperor has not appointed a crown prince, and the princes want to show off."

Cang Qiao lost interest again, she rolled her eyes and looked at him, "So?"

"The emperor wants to invite more people to hunt together this year. If you come, I will add you."

Cang Qiao laughed: "Am I courting death by fighting with the emperor's son?"

"It's hunting." The hero explained: "Actually, I want the princes to have more contact with people who are not from the imperial court. The Xia family and the Wu family, the largest wealthy merchants in the capital, are the first choice for cooperation. Smart princes also know that this is a way to win over people." Great opportunity for you."

Cang Qiao rubbed his chin, "I remember... when I first met you, didn't you say that you hated businessmen meddling in court affairs?"

Murong Ya frowned, "Of course I object, but what's the use of objecting alone?"

Cang Qiao hummed: "It seems that if I don't come to you today, you will come to me."

Murong Ya was very calm, "The first choice I'm looking for is of course Yun Qing, not you."

Cang Qiao was speechless, and raised her hand to wipe her face.

"Okay, I will participate, and Mu Mu will also participate." He said, he stood up and staggered out, "The children are home, young master, I am so sleepy..."

Xia Yunqing and Gu Xiao: "..."

On the way home, before he had taken a few steps, Cang Qiao stopped suddenly.Xia Yunqing looked back at him puzzled.

Cang Qiao hooked her fingers, "Brother Mu Mu, come here."

Xia Yunqing thought to herself: How many tricks does this nickname have to change?

But people still pass by honestly.

Cang Qiao grabbed him and turned her back, and before the man figured it out, she suddenly jumped on the other man's back.

His arm stretched Xia Yunqing's neck from behind, and the man almost lost his breath.

Although Cang Qiao looks thinner, he is still a big man at 23.Xia Yunqing was caught unprepared by him, but fortunately he reacted quickly, otherwise both of them would have to fall down.

Gu Xiao dangerously supported Cang Qiao's back from behind, Xia Yunqing also stabilized, supported the man's legs with both hands, and turned her head slightly.

Cang Qiao had already tilted her head on his shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

"..."

Gu Xiao looked at the man's face in embarrassment, "Young master is probably tired today..."

Where are you tired?

Xia Yunqing shook her head, and gently lifted the man up.Then she carried him on her back and walked slowly towards Xia's house.

……

The pre-hunting preparations were a bit complicated. The chief butler helped the two young masters in the family to go to the tailor shop to order hunting services.Xia Cangqiao knew everything about horseback riding and archery, and Xia Yunqing had to teach him by hand.

In the back garden of the Xia family, two archery targets were temporarily set up.The clouds in the sky slowly drifted past, and the sound of the wind brought out a "swoosh", and a feathered arrow hit the bull's-eye accurately and accurately.

Xia Yunqing put down her bow and arrow, and turned to look at Xia Cangqiao beside her.

"The arrow and the eye are on the same line. When drawing the bow, the hand holding the bow cannot move. The hand pulling the string..."

Before Xia Yunqing could finish speaking, the enthusiastic Cang Qiao had already grabbed the bow and arrow.

"I've played with this thing!"

Xia Yunqing was puzzled, "When?"

In my previous life, there were twenty arrows for ten yuan in the park.

Cang Qiao answered in her heart.Then he took an arrow and put it on the string, then pulled it——

"what!"

The arm couldn't use any strength, and the strings hadn't been pulled apart before the fingers slipped.The string popped out with a weak sound, and the feathered arrow landed softly less than a few meters in front.

"..." Cang Qiao curled her lips, and raised her hand to take another feathered arrow.

"Brother..." Xia Yunqing suddenly raised her hand from behind, and walked around Cang Qiao's body to help him hold the bow and string, "Don't move your shoulders, and draw the bow with your right hand... wait a minute... don't shake..."

Swah——

The feather arrow slid out again, this time falling a little farther.

Cang Qiao gritted her teeth, "What a heavy string..."

He seemed to remember that children were playing with bows and arrows in the park.

Xia Yunqing sighed in his ear, the warm breath burned his ears, and Cang Qiao shrank her head when she felt itchy.

Hair brushed over the man's jaw.Xia Yunqing lowered her head, just as Cang Qiao raised her head, her warm lips brushed against Xia Yunqing's cheek.

Xia Yunqing was taken aback.

Cang Qiao didn't think there was anything, just looked at him, "Are there no bows and arrows for children?"

Xia Yunqing: "..."

……

I practiced all afternoon and got no results.In the second half, under Xia Yunqing's guidance, he was taught archery hand in hand, while sleeping in the man's arms.

When Xia Yunqing found that the hands wrapped in her palms were so soft that she didn't use any strength, she looked down and found that the man had some kind of dream, and there was a wretched smile on the corner of his mouth.

my shoulder hurts...

While having dinner, Cang Qiao rubbed her shoulders and thought about it.Xia Yunqing sat down next to him with her robe lifted, and it has become a habit for the two of them to have dinner together recently.Just before eating, a person suddenly walked outside the door.

"father?"

Xia Yunqing quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up.

Cang Qiao had just stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth, and stood up with puffed cheeks.

After Master Xia entered the door, he stepped aside and let the person behind him walk in.Seeing the person coming, Xia Yunqing frowned slightly.

He subconsciously looked at Cang Qiao, and saw that Cang Qiao managed to swallow the meal.

"……mother?"

Xia Yunqing and Master Xia's faces have never been so darkened before.

"This is the youngest daughter of the Wu family." Master Xia said helplessly, "Wu Yuehua."
