Repayment of the little fox
Chapter 45 Extra Story - Back then Love Phoenix String X Xiong Yuqing CP
More than 1000 years ago, Xie Yuqing was not called by this name. His name was 'Xiba', which means a tyrant in the mountains and forests. With his age of 2000 years, he has been honored by the monsters as 'Uncle Xi'.
In the summer of that year, the weather was too hot. Uncle Xi heard from the traveling little monster that there are all kinds of delicious dishes in the palace on earth, as well as smoothies made of ice cubes, which are refreshing and thirst-quenching.So, Uncle Xi had a whim, and came to the forest where the royal family hunted, changed into his original form, and obediently waited for them to find out.
The raccoon is almost extinct, and Uncle Xi has always suspected that he is the last one in the world.As a rare beast, he was immediately sent to the palace as an auspicious beast descended from heaven.
The emperor specially built a large palace named "Raccoon Garden" for him to eat and live.There are special staff to take care of eating, drinking, and laxatives. Not only are there smoothies to eat, but even a cold house was specially built for him because he was afraid that he would not be able to stand the heat.Use the natural sweet spring to drive the fan wheel to shake, send the cool air in the water into the house, and then send the water flow to the roof, and go down along the roof to form a water curtain to escape the heat.The cool breeze blowing made his whole hair stretch and cool.
His work time is also very short, and the emperor's concubines come here several times a month to watch the auspicious beasts.Uncle Xi stretched out his body and lazily showed off his cuteness, and he could win unanimous praise from the emperor's concubines. There were endless tributes and precious fruits, and he also rewarded two golden raccoon basins, one big one and one small one. Come and give him some cool fruit.
Uncle Xi had a very comfortable life.
In the middle of the night that day, Uncle Xi was sleeping on the branch of a tree when he suddenly heard a rustling sound.A thin figure appeared in the dark night, sneaking around, stealing pastries from his golden basin.
Good boy, how dare you steal from your uncle Xie, see if I don't scare you to death.
Xun Ba used the hungry tiger's pounce on food, threw the little thief to the ground, opened his mouth wide, showing his sharp teeth, but he saw a pair of clear eyes on the thief's immature face, showing no sign of fear.
Uncle Xi loosened his paws in boredom.
Xiao Fengxian silently glanced at the raccoon, and continued to gobble up the snacks.Looking at the thin back of the other party, Uncle Xi felt compassion, pushed the jade bowl he had given him, patted the child's shoulder with his paw, and asked him to drink some water so that he would not choke.
Xiao Fengxian understood what the raccoon meant, and gulped down water.
Xie Ba: What a poor boy.
From then on, Xiao Fengxian often came here to eat snacks at night.Xun Ba also pays attention to leaving more rations for the other party, and even keeps his favorite lychee to satisfy the other party's gluttony.
Over time, Xiao Fengxian and Xie Ba became good friends who talked about everything.
Of course it was Xiao Fengxian who was talking, and the raccoon wagged its tail to listen.
Feng Xian is the eldest son of the emperor.The emperor got drunk and pampered a court lady, who became pregnant and gave birth to Fengxian.
Feng Xian's biological mother was surnamed Yu, who had no power or influence, and did not please the emperor. After giving birth to Feng Xian, she only got the status of a beauty and was not qualified to raise the prince.
Fengxian was raised by the childless queen after birth.In the first two years, the queen treated Feng Xian well, but soon the queen became pregnant and gave birth to the second prince, and she began to treat Feng Xian coldly.
After another five years, he found a random excuse and moved his residence to a remote corner of the palace, ignoring him.The weak Fengxian was bullied by the slaves who stepped down and praised him, and deducted his meager food and clothing.
With such a miserable life, Xiao Fengxian wanted to go back to her mother.But the biological mother was afraid of the queen's power, so she didn't dare to ask him back and refused to see him.
He wanted to sue his father, but he didn't meet him, so he was told to tell the queen and was severely beaten.
Feng Xian was the child of a lowly court lady, who took up the place of the eldest son of the royal family. The emperor was already dissatisfied with it. He added several sons in successive years, and he cared less about the eldest son of the emperor.Turn a blind eye to the abuse Feng Xian suffered.
Now Xiao Fengxian is isolated and helpless, even though he is a prince, he is as cheap as worthless, a ten-year-old child looks as thin and small as a six- or seven-year-old child.
Feng Xian was so hungry that he robbed the beast for food, and even thought that if he was eaten by the beast, it would be good to end his life.
After listening to Xiao Fengxian's story about the past, Uncle Xi sticks out his tongue to lick away his tears in distress.WooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooPoor.I must take good care of him.
After crying, little poor fell asleep in the raccoon's arms.
Time flies for more than half a year, and it is spring again.
On this day, Uncle Xi crawled out of the nest lazily and saw that the mulberries in the yard were growing well, so he slowly climbed the tree to pick them.Just halfway through the climb, I heard crisp and joyful laughter.
Uncle Xi turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Fengxian who was smiling.It was rare for the gloomy boy to show such a hearty smile, so Uncle Xi asked twice strangely.
"Little Xiongxiong, you climb the tree so slowly, let me pick it for you."
Feng Xian thought that the raccoon was asking for help, so she took off her shoes and socks, climbed up the tree trunk very nimbly, picked a bunch of mulberries, washed them, spread them in the palm of her hand, and fed them to Uncle Xi.
While eating mulberries, Uncle Xi listened to Xiao Fengxian's chatter: "My concubine came to see me today, and she even cut new clothes for me. I used to only dare to look at her from a distance, and this was the first time I talked to her up close.
The concubine mother is very gentle. She said that she didn't see me before because of my safety.Hahahahaha... Don't lick my palm... So many years have passed, the queen has never harmed me again, the concubine mother is relieved, she thinks it's time to ask me to go over, and ask if I would like to recognize her as my mother? "
Uncle Xun stuck out his tongue and rolled the sweet residue from his mouth into his lips, and tilted his head to look at him with a pair of black and round eyes.The brat already has the answer, doesn't he?
Xiao Fengxian patted Uncle Xie's head with a smile: "I know you are worried about me, so I decided to go back to my mother and concubine. Great, I also have a mother who loves me.
The concubine mother said, I am so old, I can't read and write.Therefore, with a full course schedule, I may not have time to visit you these days.When I am free, I will come to you. "
Uncle Xi was happy for Xiao Fengxian, and nodded in agreement.
Half a month later, Uncle Xi missed Feng Xian a little, turned into a human body, found Yu Concubine's palace, avoided the palace people, was looking around, when he heard Xiao Feng Xian's muffled cry.
Uncle Xi looked through the paper on the edge of the window.Concubine Yu whipped Xiao Fengxian's palms with a ruler, and said something in her mouth: "I still want to sneak out to play. Have you finished reading "The Analects of Confucius" and "Spring and Autumn"? You are ten years behind other princes. Want to go back to that gloomy cabin?"
Xiao Fengxian's hands were swollen into steamed buns, and she clenched her teeth to keep her tears from dripping.
Yu Pin reprimanded her for a full hour before letting Xiao Fengxian go back.
The servant held the lamp to send Feng Xian back to the bedroom, never caring about Feng Xian's injury all the way.Uncle Xi was so distressed that he turned into a servant and knocked on the door to enter.
Xiao Fengxian should have cried secretly in bed, her eyes were red and swollen, like two big walnuts, but she did not lose the majesty of the prince, her expression was indifferent, and her tone was calm: "Mingde, what's the matter with you?"
"The servant took the ointment for reducing swelling, so it will heal sooner." Uncle Xi took out a bottle of ointment, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to pull Feng Xian's hand.
Feng Xian raised her hand to avoid it, and lightly raised her chin: "Let it go."
Uncle Xi put the ointment on the bed cabinet, told Xiao Fengxian to apply it, bowed and left.
The next day, the worried Uncle Xi sneaked into Feng Xian's bedroom and found unopened ointment in the wastebasket.
Uncle Xi had no choice but to be too wary, like a hedgehog.When I came to the bed, I saw that the child was still frowning uncomfortably in his sleep, muttering something in his mouth.
Uncle Xi moved closer and heard the child calling "Xiong Xiong".For the first time, I felt the soreness and joy of raising a child, and used the demon power to heal Xiaofengxian's palm.
After Xiao Fengxian woke up, seeing that her palms had recovered to the original state, she only thought that she had a special physique and recovered quickly from injuries.
Another year passed.
During this period, Xiao Fengxian only sneaked into the raccoon twice.Seeing the raccoon rubbing against him affectionately and knowing him, I was very happy, and shared my recent life, for example, my father finally praised him for being smart, and the other little princes only memorized the entire Analects in one month, and he only needed ten days.
Uncle Xi often went to see him incognito, and he also helped him out of the siege two or three times as the servant Mingde.Naturally, she knows how much effort Feng Xian has put in behind her intelligence and understanding: she lights up the lamp at night and reads a book, secretly cooks and prepares birthday noodles in order to make her mother and concubine happy...
It's a pity that Xiao Fengxian is too naive.
Concubine Yu's status is low, but now she dares to use Feng Xian to fight for the reserve position. One reason is that Feng Xian is the eldest son, and she has a glimmer of hope for her.
The most important thing is that the faction of the General Protecting the Nation wants to gain power, so they support Feng Xian.
How can the empress tolerate others coveting the royal throne?Uncle Xi inquired that within a few days, the Great General Protecting the Nation would be killed, and the puppet Yu Pin and Xiao Fengxian could not escape death.
Uncle Xi was not interested in the royal intrigue at all, and fought back and forth. In just a hundred years, it took only four to five hundred years for a dynasty to rise and fall.He has long been accustomed to seeing the succession of dynasties.
However, he cared about Feng Xianzai.
He pretended not to eat, looked for an opportunity to feign death, and then quietly rescued Xiao Fengxian. From then on, he kept his anonymity and let Xiao Fengxian live a normal and happy life.
Xia Lei was rolling and the rain was torrential.
Uncle Xi scratched his chest with his paw, um... this atmosphere is suitable for his auspicious death.Ever since, he closed his eyes and stared at his legs, pretending to die suddenly.
When Xiao Fengxian heard the news, Uncle Xi had already been wrapped up with a straw mat by the servants and was about to be dragged outside the palace wall to be buried.In the majestic heavy rain and rumbling thunder, Xiao Fengxian cried like a tearful person, holding the raccoon's body and not letting go.
Uncle Xi closed his eyes and lay in Feng Xian's arms, tears or rain kept washing his face.While Uncle Xi felt his hair sticky, he also felt very comforted, the pain was not in vain.
Feng Xian was dragged away by the palace servants and had a high fever for three days.
Not long after recovering from a serious illness, the great general who protects the country was convicted of treason and exterminated nine clans.When Concubine Yu in the palace heard this, she fainted at that time.However, the young Fengxian didn't know the connection.
Half a month later, I don't know where the verse came from, that the eldest prince is the reincarnation of an evil spirit, and he will definitely bring disaster to the country and the country. Many courtiers begged the emperor to kill relatives righteously and kill Xiao Fengxian.
Concubine Yu was 'sick in bed' and was weak, so she never interceded for her parents and children.
After all, it was his own flesh and blood, and the emperor was also afraid of leaving the infamy of murdering his son, so he decreed to demote Feng Xian to a commoner.
Fengxian walked out of the palace for the first time, standing outside the heavy city gate, he looked so insignificant, only the servant Mingde was willing to stay by his side.
Faced with Fengxian's gratitude, Mingde's eyes concealed malicious intentions.
He is just a little servant, assigned to serve in the concubine's palace who is not favored. Facing the gloomy eldest prince, Mingde thinks his future is bleak.
For some reason, the eldest prince valued him more and more.At the moment when the eldest prince was demoted, the queen found him and was willing to bid a hundred gold for the eldest prince's life.And after he took the money, he flew away, and no one would pursue it.
It was precisely Ming De's wishful thinking that when Feng Xian asked him if he would leave the palace with him, he agreed without saying a word.
Mingde lied that he had a relative who lived in the capital and could go to seek refuge, and led Feng Xian to enter a remote alley with him.He looked around to make sure that there was no one around, quietly pulled out his dagger from behind Feng Xian, and stabbed at Feng Xian.
At this moment, a flash of white light flashed, and Mingde found himself suddenly appearing in another alley not far away, standing in front of him was a young man in a blue shirt.
Uncle Xi said slowly: "Prince Fengxian is the one I want to protect, who asked you to kill him?"
Mingde still wanted to resist, but he saw Uncle Xi swung the dagger into a banana. He was so frightened that he honestly confessed the queen's conspiracy.
Uncle Xi thought for a moment, and asked Mingde to go back and tell the queen that the man had been killed.
Uncle Xi followed Mingde incognito, watched Mingde communicate with the Queen's people, and used Fengxian's package as proof of murder.What he didn't expect was that the queen's people believed that after Feng Xian's death, Mingde was killed with a single blow.
Mingde's death is also a good thing for Feng Xian.
Uncle Xi turned into Ming De, ready to accompany Feng Xian to grow up.
When he returned to the alley, it was already dark, and the lonely and helpless Xiao Fengxian was curled up in a corner. When she saw him, she flew towards him with tears in her eyes, which lingered for a long time.
Oh, how stubborn and pitiful.
Uncle Xi patted him on the back lightly, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm just going to change some bank notes."
Uncle Xi pawned the big gold bathtub with tears in his eyes. Unexpectedly, the old emperor was so stingy that the bathtub was actually gold-plated.Fortunately, the tub was big enough, and with some money, they could buy a yard and live there for a while.
The two quickly selected a small courtyard with two rooms, and there was a mulberry tree in the courtyard.This reminded Uncle Xi of the hearty smile of the little boy when he helped him pick mulberries, hoping to make him live a happy life.
After the two settled everything, Feng Xian still had a gloomy expression on his face.Uncle Xi touched his nose, his brows were almost wrinkled at such a young age.
He called Feng Xian, and said righteously: "The eldest prince is dead, now you have to forget the past and start a new life. I am no longer your attendant, but your dear friend, understand?"
Feng Xian pondered for a moment, then replied: "You are right, the old names can no longer be used. Let's choose a new name for each other.
'Send Yuke to the Qingpao before arriving', Yuke means high-ranking officials and dignitaries, sending away the dignitaries, we are only poor green robes.How about I call you 'Yuqing'? "
"Very good. How about your name 'Xi Huan'? Always happy...don't make a bad face every day, just smile."
Uncle Xi stretched out two fingers, touched Feng Xian's dimples, and made a smiling face.
Feng Xian rubbed her cheeks, indignantly: "It sounds like a dog's name."
"The surname Xun is 'Xun', the 'Xun' of the knife ear, which means that you should cherish time, be vigilant at all times, and not reveal your identity."
Uncle Xi rubbed the soft hair on Xiao Fengxian's head, and the child he rescued would naturally have his surname.
Feng Xian pointed at herself reluctantly, and said, "Xi Huan."
He pointed to Uncle Xi again: "Xi Yuqing. We are a family, so we should have the same surname."
"Okay! From now on, I will be called 'Xi Yuqing'." Uncle Xi agreed with a big smile.
Xie Yuqing planned to spend a period of time as a mortal, but she had no choice but to use her demon power.This was the first time that he had been born as a demon in Xiong Yuqing in 2000.
In the first half year, many forces inquired about Feng Xian's news, but they were all confused by Xie Yuqing's demon power.Gradually, no one inquired about them, and they lived the most ordinary life in the market.
After buying household items and winter clothes, the silver taels exchanged for the Dajin bath tub is running out.The winter in the capital is extremely cold, and there is no charcoal fire in the room to keep warm. The two embraced each other and shivered under the quilt together.
Feng Xian is also Xi Huan, curled up in Xi Yuqing's arms.He wrapped his hands tightly around Xie Yuqing's slender waist, leaned his head on his chest, and whispered, "Ah Qing, your embrace is so warm."
Xie Yuqing shook her body and didn't answer, she couldn't help being proud, her body temperature was much higher than that of a human.
It's hard to survive the cold winter, and it's spring again.The house was pawned to a bare house, Xie Yuqing looked at the empty rice vat and sighed: "It's really hard to be a human being."
With a bag of rice in his hand, Xie Huan happily rushed into his arms.
"Ah Ching, I found a job as an apprentice. The Qianjie restaurant is short of manpower. The chef saw that I was clever and agreed to let me be an apprentice. Besides food, he was willing to give me three hundred Wen a month! It is enough for us to eat. There are unfinished dishes in the restaurant, maybe we can still eat big fish and meat from time to time."
Xie Yuqing looked down at Xie Huan's shining and joyful eyes, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
Little Xie Huan had only lived in the palace for a few days, and after becoming a commoner, he had to support himself as an adult.
Xie Yuqing said with a serious expression: "No. I will not let you be an apprentice! I want you to go to a private school to study and play with your peers like other children, and live a happy and worry-free life."
Xie Huan's eyes lit up, and then dimmed: "What's the use of my studies? I can't get fame. It's practical to learn a craft and support a family.
I saw that Li Ergou from next door and Ma Xiaodan from Qianjie did not find a good apprenticeship because of someone else, one was a carpenter and the other was a tinsmith.I am much better than them. "
Hearing his dejected tone, Xie Yuqing felt even more distressed, and put her hands on Xie Huan's cheeks, making him look up at her.
"Xiao Huan, in my mind, none of the emperor's princes can compare to you. You are resolute, talented and intelligent. Even if you are not a prince or emperor, you are still a proud son of heaven, not a cook. Don't worry about money. , I have my own solution."
In Xie Yuqing's clear eyes, she was definitely the only one.
He has never been so cherished.
Xie Huan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly looked away, the cheek touched by Xie Yuqing was like burning.
"Did you hear that?" Xie Yuqing asked softly, stroking the top of Xie Huan's head with her big palm.
Xie Huan lowered his head and said, "Understood. But I still have to work for a month..."
Xie Yuqing: "You kid?!"
"Listen to me..."
Xie Huan held the pair of big hands on top of her head firmly in her own.
His hands are much smaller than Xie Yuqing's, but one day, his hands will be bigger than Xie Yuqing's.One day, he will be taller than Xie Yuqing.
Just like Xie Yuqing protects herself, one day, he will also protect Yuqing from wind and rain.
Xie Huan curled her lips: "I paid a month's wages in advance to buy rice, no matter what, I have to finish it for a month. This month, I will study hard.
Ah Qing is too clumsy, and always hurts her hands when she goes to the kitchen.I will cook all the meals in the future.It is very hard for Ah Qing to support me. "
"Good boy." Xie Yuqing chuckled, feeling very satisfied.
—
Eight years later.
At the calligraphy and painting booth on Qianjie Street, Xie Yuqing put down her pen, rubbed her frozen hands, and said with a smile, "Aunt Liu, your homework is finished? Is there anything else you want to add?"
then.Xie Yuqing found that there were very few people with money to read and write, and there were many wars in the frontier. Many young and middle-aged men went to the border to join the army to fight. happy life.
Aunt Liu collected the family letter and asked with a smile: "Xiao Huan has grown up, and you are not too old. When Xiao Huan gets married, you will be left alone. Why don't you find another one while you are still young.
Widow Zhao next door asked me to ask for your message.Widow Zhao is young and beautiful and has no children. Her deceased husband left behind a gold jewelry shop.You want to marry in the past and enjoy yourself.Having another son and a half daughter, these days can be regarded as the end of all hardships. "
Xiong Yuqing just wanted to export and refused.
The young man's cold voice came: "My master will not get married. Aunt Liu, you have given up on it."
Once, the neighbors thought that Xie Huan was his son, but Xie Yuqing happily acquiesced.Unexpectedly, Xie Huan lost his temper.
That's right, in Xie Huan's view, he was originally a servant, that is, a eunuch, so how could he be his father.Therefore, after discussing with Xie Huan, Xie Yuqing and Xie Huan always referred to each other as master and apprentice.
Xie Yuqing smiled and said, "Xiao Huan, the private school is on holiday."
"Yeah." With a sullen face, Xie Huan quickly packed the things for Xie Yuqing, grabbed Xie Yuqing's arm, and walked back eagerly.
"Did you fail the exam? You look so ugly." Xie Yuqing asked in a low voice, "Why do you feel wronged and talk to Master?"
Xie Huan still did not speak.
This child... Xie Huan has always had a gloomy temper since he was a child, while Xie Yuqing is docile and not lively.
Nine years of living together did not affect Xun Huan's cheerfulness. Although the child was no longer gloomy, he was still taciturn and often worried.
Xie Huan wrapped Yuqing's hands with both hands, rubbed them together and let out a breath.Now, he is weaker than the crown, his palms are wider than the master, and his stature is also a head taller than the master.
He reluctantly showed a smile to Xie Yuqing: "How could it be bad? I am the first in the private school in both the literary and military tests. No student can compare to me."
"Are you still depressed?" Xie Yuqing was puzzled.
Xie Huan was silent for a moment, then said, "Go home and have dinner."
Xie Huan cooked a table of Xie Yuqing's favorite dishes.
During the meal between the two, Xie Huan said calmly: "Lyongyeon Academy sent an admission letter, and I am going to study at Longyon Academy."
"Xiaohuan, what are you talking about? That's Longyuan Academy! When did you apply, why didn't you discuss it with me?" Xie Yuqing put down the bowl and chopsticks heavily, and asked scoldingly.
Xie Huan's tone was firm: "Lyongyon Academy exempted me from all repair and miscellaneous fees, and gave me a certain amount of scholarship every year. This money is enough for your daily expenses.
Ah Qing, you don’t need to support the stalls in the cold winter months, and you don’t need to suffer from chilblains again.Longyeon Academy is the best academy in the whole country, it brings together great Confucian scholars, I can also..."
Xie Yuqing: "Because of this, you can't go. Most of the academy is the children of senior executives, and I heard that the third prince is also studying there. Your identity is too dangerous."
Xie Huan ignored Xie Yuqing's interjection, and continued: "The academy is several hundred miles away from the capital, and I will live on campus. Spring vacation, summer vacation, autumn vacation, annual vacation, four times a year, I will come back to see you.
I told Mrs. Wang next door to bring you three meals a day.Silver, I have already paid.The accounts and silver at home are kept in the third drawer under the desk.And... every year when the mulberries are ripe, I can't climb the tree to pick them for you.Don't climb the tree by yourself, if you fall when you are old... Anyway, I'm not here, you have to take care of yourself. "
Xie Yuqing said angrily: "Why are you explaining? If you are in danger, what is the point of explaining this to me?"
Xie Huan pressed his chest hard, and said silently, don't dance anymore, don't dance anymore...
He just treats you like a child.You must leave him, and you must not fall into immoral delusions.
"Things have passed for so long, and my appearance has changed so much that no one can recognize me. Didn't you teach me to live a happy life? The happiness of my life is to pursue knowledge. I must go to Longyeon Academy."
Xie Huan understands her master, and gives a reason that the other party cannot refuse: Ah Ching always wants him to be happy and happy.
Xie Yuqing was silent for a long time, rubbed her sore eyes, and took out a yellow paper crane from her bosom: "You are stubborn, and I can't stop you. Be careful in everything. If something goes wrong, come back quickly, I always have a solution Keep you safe. If you encounter an inescapable danger, tear off the paper crane, and it will keep you safe."
Xie Huan took the paper crane, and smiled lightly: "I didn't know that master could know Taoist tricks, why didn't he teach me?"
Xie Yuqing took a sip of tea in a concealed manner, and said, "I got it from a powerful Taoist by chance, trust me."
"Okay." Xie Huan didn't believe it, but carefully wrapped it with a handkerchief and put it close to her body.
He will take good care of all the tokens that Xie Yuqing gave him.
After the third day of the new year, Xie Huan was about to leave for the south to go to the academy.This New Year, welcome the Kitchen God, post Spring Festival couplets, watch the New Year’s Eve, set off firecrackers on the first day of the new year... Cherish it in the most complete and lively way.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Huan insisted that Xie Yuqing go to Qingshan Temple in the suburbs to pray for him, and he had to pay for the reunion of his classmates and friends.
Xie Yuqing was reluctant, he had never liked Buddha.
Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, fallacy!It's time to have a grudge and revenge, and to pay your life for your life.If you kill someone, you can get forgiveness if you say "I was wrong", and whoever complains the victim's grievances, isn't it full of hypocrisy in the world.
What's more, what a god, Xiao Huan has him to protect him.He is the protector of Xie Huan.
Having said that, seeing Xie Huan's hopeful face, Xie Yuqing still had patience, climbed thousands of steps, and bought an amulet from outside the gate of Qingshan Temple.
When he returned home, it was almost dark. When he opened the door, he saw that the courtyard was full of bright lanterns and mulberry branches.
Standing under the tree, Xie Huan stood tall with black hair and green clothes. He picked out a red paper lantern painted with the appearance of a raccoon and looked into his eyes, which were softer than the dim candlelight.
"I know you like to watch lanterns during the Lantern Festival. This year, I can't go with you, so I will celebrate the Lantern Festival together in advance."
Xie Yuqing couldn't take her eyes off the young man.The winter in the capital is much warmer today, Xie Yuqing thought.
—
As soon as Xie Huan left, Xie Yuqing's heart was half empty.
Xie Huan takes care of food, clothing, housing and transportation.Now that he's gone, Xie Yuqing has to search for a long time even where the paper is placed.The past two months have been a mess, and everything I see reminds me of Xie Huan, and I think of him growing up from an immature boy to a noble and elegant son.
Before going to bed, I took Xun Huan's half-monthly letter and read it through before I could fall asleep.
For the next month, Xie Yuqing counted on her fingers, counting day by day when Xie Huan will be on spring break.
Finally, on the day of the spring break, a letter was delivered to him in good time. The letter narrated the affairs of the last half month. It was nothing more than making friends, how interesting the class was, and telling him what to do.
In the end, he changed the subject and said that he was a guest at a friend's house during the holidays, and he would not go home.
Xie Yuqing was so angry that she burned half of the letter.
It is said that it is four times a year, and it must be going home every time to meet him, but it turns out that this is the first vacation, so I am ambitious.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt that the child was raised for nothing.Then I thought about it, why should I wait for him at the same place, and I will also go back to the forest to meet my old monster friend.
In this way, after many years, Xie Yuqing finally turned into the original body of a raccoon, lying on a tree branch deep in the dense forest, and spent half a month bored.
Immediately returned home.The next letter is due.
When he got the letter from the messenger as scheduled, he couldn't hide his joy.The familiar meaningful handwriting still narrates the recent life as always. At the end of the letter, Xie Huan wrote:
I know Ah Ching likes lychees the most.Unexpectedly, Jinzhou also has a kind of small litchi.The skin is red and purple with thorns, and the flesh is clear. When you pinch it, it is full of juice, which is actually sweeter than Yunnan litchi.While eating, I thought, if Ah Qing was here, it would be fine.
Xie Yuqing softened her eyes, I miss you too, brat.
Since you want to, go and see.It's not a blink of an eye for him to go to Jinzhou, a two-thousand-year-old monster.
Xie Yuqing bought Xie Huan's favorite dim sum in the capital, and arrived at Jinzhou City an hour later. Three quarters of the time she stopped to ask for directions.
He asked someone for the location of Longyuan Academy, and he appeared in front of the mountain gate of Longyuan Academy in an instant.Just as he was about to knock on the door to ask someone, he thought again, if the boy reports good news but not bad news, why not sneak in and check quietly to see if he has been bullied.
The invisible Huan Yuqing followed the students into the academy.
He walked around, and immediately saw the name 'Xi Huan' on the bulletin board of the examination school, which was at the top of the list, bold and bold.The six arts of rites, music, archery, censorship, calligraphy, and mathematics are all top-notch, and no one can surpass them.Xie Yuqing's pride welled up spontaneously.
At this moment, a familiar voice was heard.
"Brother Yuqing, I'm looking for you."
The high-spirited young man smiled brightly, and the corner of his clothes brushed against Xie Yuqing's, passing him by.
He embraced the shoulder of the person named 'Yu Qing' with an intimate gesture and doting eyes.
Xie Yuqing was dumbfounded, her heart ached slightly.
Xie Huan has always spoken and laughed freely, such a hearty smile, even with him day and night, he can't see it a few times a year.
Just like not wanting money, he gave it to another boy with a similar name to himself.
Xie Yuqing felt anxious that the treasure she cared for in every possible way would be snatched away by others without any effort.
With a sullen face, he stared at Xie Huan, and followed behind him step by step.
Xie Huan felt a chill run down his spine, he looked back and found something unusual.
"What's wrong? A Huan." Yu Qing looked at him worriedly.
Xie Huan looked at the face that was three points similar to that of Xie Yuqing, shook his head slightly, his eyes were soft like water: "It's nothing."
Keep talking about reading the books of sages and sages, and make a lot of great questions.It turned out to be such knowledge.Xie Yuqing looked sickly, and the child couldn't help her father.
Xie Yuqing followed Xie Huan all day, feeling more and more wrong.Xie Huan is not only gentle to Yuqing, well, apart from being extremely gentle to Yuqing, he is also hearty and smiling towards other people, Duanduan is a lively, cheerful and understanding young man.
The one he knew—Silent Fang Zhong's Xie Huan, was a different person.
Silent night.
Xie Huan's roommate has fallen asleep peacefully.Under the light of a small candle, Xie Huan quietly stroked the yellow paper crane.
Xie Yuqing looked at the yellow paper crane that was fluffed up, and the anger in her heart subsided a lot.
It's a good thing this kid has a conscience.It's just that if you rub it like this, the spells he attached to it will be rubbed off.
In the middle of the night, I finally waited until Xie Huan fell asleep.Xie Yuqing reinforced the spell with the paper crane again, and added a dialogue formation by the way.As long as Xie Huan called his name to the formation, he could hear it.
Xie Yuqing secretly followed Xie Huan for another three days, and the more she followed, the more frightened she became.Xie Huan's roommate is the third prince of the dynasty, and he has a good relationship with him.Not only that, the friends he handed over are many sons of high-ranking officials, such as the prime minister's son-in-law, the minister's nephew, the second son of the general's family...
What is this kid up to!
Xie Yuqing showed up and formally came to visit Xie Huan.
Xie Huan was delighted to hear that he was coming.It's just that Xie Huan didn't seem to want him to see his classmates, so he didn't let him enter the academy, so he dragged him down the mountain and found a secluded inn to sit down.
Xie Huan's eyes were burning, and he pulled the corners of his mouth up again, "Master, why are you here?"
Xie Yuqing did not reminisce with him, and scolded him severely: "I clearly want you to stay away from the sons of high officials, why do you make friends with them instead?"
"Who told you?" There was an imperceptible sternness in Xie Huan's eyes.
"No one told me, I just heard a few students chatting, saying that you are all-round, no matter which faction wants to win over you. They also said that you can be nominated as an official without even taking the imperial examination..." Xie Yuqing frowned road.
Xie Huan readily admitted: "That's true. The Empress died of a serious illness last year, and the second prince she gave birth to was extravagant and daring.
The third prince is now 16 years old, and he is the best candidate for the crown prince.He has promised me that by next year's birthday, he will recommend me to be an official in the court..."
Xie Yuqing helped her forehead helplessly: "Xiao Huan, I don't understand. It's been almost ten years, why do you still want to get involved in the fight for the heir apparent?"
Xie Huan showed a sneer: "I don't understand either. I don't understand why my father doesn't have any affection for me? I don't understand why my mother can easily abandon her mother and child who was pregnant in October for the sake of prosperity and wealth?"
"Can't you treat me as your parent?" Xie Yuqing asked.
Xie Huan's eyes were dim, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are not, you never were, and I never regarded you as my father."
Xie Yuqing was heartbroken upon hearing this.
Xie Huan continued: "Go back to the capital, and pretend you don't know me. When everything is settled, I will go home and be with you...and never be separated from you."
After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to look at Xie Yuqing's face, and left in a hurry.
Xie Yuqing somewhat hated that iron could not be made into steel, and in anger, teleported back to the capital.
Seeing that Xun Huan was pale, Yu Qing went to help him, but was thrown away.
Xie Huan sees that Yu Qing looks hurt.Thinking of when Xie Yuqing faced him, she didn't show any weakness.Xie Yuqing is always like this, always slow and unhurried.
Yuqing, Yuqing...
Knowing that he would unconsciously call out the names "Yuqing" and "Aqing" in his dreams, Xie Huan deliberately approached Yuqing and made friends with him.
But he never called "Aqing" to Yuqing, even if he called himself "Ahuan".
Ah Qing, there is only one person.He could give up his life to fight and grab, but Xie Yuqing couldn't be harmed in the slightest.
Waking up in the middle of the night, Xie Huan's mouth was parched, the entanglement in the dream made him happy, and the parting in reality seemed even more lonely.
He picked up the wooden hairpin by his side and stabbed it fiercely towards his thigh.If the trouser legs are rolled up, Xie Huan's legs are covered with scars of different shades, some of which can only see light white skin, and some have just formed scars.
Whenever he had lust for Yuqing, Xie Huan would draw a line on his body to wash away his sins with blood.
absolute!Never bully Xie Yuqing!
—
Summer is here, and the heat is so hot that you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Xie Yuqing closed the letter stall early, and fanned herself under the mulberry tree to enjoy the shade.
Looking at the heavy bunches of purple mulberries, he slapped the cattail fan, and a bunch of mulberries were picked off, put into the bucket in an orderly manner, and neatly stacked in his palm.
Xie Yuqing ate mulberries and played with a fan.As a great demon, he can easily disappear without a trace.But after all, he didn't want to give up Xian Huan's son, and he didn't live enough for a mortal life.
Xie Yuqing chose to wait.When Xie Huan comes back, or when Xie Huan is about to die, reach out and save
In the summer of that year, the weather was too hot. Uncle Xi heard from the traveling little monster that there are all kinds of delicious dishes in the palace on earth, as well as smoothies made of ice cubes, which are refreshing and thirst-quenching.So, Uncle Xi had a whim, and came to the forest where the royal family hunted, changed into his original form, and obediently waited for them to find out.
The raccoon is almost extinct, and Uncle Xi has always suspected that he is the last one in the world.As a rare beast, he was immediately sent to the palace as an auspicious beast descended from heaven.
The emperor specially built a large palace named "Raccoon Garden" for him to eat and live.There are special staff to take care of eating, drinking, and laxatives. Not only are there smoothies to eat, but even a cold house was specially built for him because he was afraid that he would not be able to stand the heat.Use the natural sweet spring to drive the fan wheel to shake, send the cool air in the water into the house, and then send the water flow to the roof, and go down along the roof to form a water curtain to escape the heat.The cool breeze blowing made his whole hair stretch and cool.
His work time is also very short, and the emperor's concubines come here several times a month to watch the auspicious beasts.Uncle Xi stretched out his body and lazily showed off his cuteness, and he could win unanimous praise from the emperor's concubines. There were endless tributes and precious fruits, and he also rewarded two golden raccoon basins, one big one and one small one. Come and give him some cool fruit.
Uncle Xi had a very comfortable life.
In the middle of the night that day, Uncle Xi was sleeping on the branch of a tree when he suddenly heard a rustling sound.A thin figure appeared in the dark night, sneaking around, stealing pastries from his golden basin.
Good boy, how dare you steal from your uncle Xie, see if I don't scare you to death.
Xun Ba used the hungry tiger's pounce on food, threw the little thief to the ground, opened his mouth wide, showing his sharp teeth, but he saw a pair of clear eyes on the thief's immature face, showing no sign of fear.
Uncle Xi loosened his paws in boredom.
Xiao Fengxian silently glanced at the raccoon, and continued to gobble up the snacks.Looking at the thin back of the other party, Uncle Xi felt compassion, pushed the jade bowl he had given him, patted the child's shoulder with his paw, and asked him to drink some water so that he would not choke.
Xiao Fengxian understood what the raccoon meant, and gulped down water.
Xie Ba: What a poor boy.
From then on, Xiao Fengxian often came here to eat snacks at night.Xun Ba also pays attention to leaving more rations for the other party, and even keeps his favorite lychee to satisfy the other party's gluttony.
Over time, Xiao Fengxian and Xie Ba became good friends who talked about everything.
Of course it was Xiao Fengxian who was talking, and the raccoon wagged its tail to listen.
Feng Xian is the eldest son of the emperor.The emperor got drunk and pampered a court lady, who became pregnant and gave birth to Fengxian.
Feng Xian's biological mother was surnamed Yu, who had no power or influence, and did not please the emperor. After giving birth to Feng Xian, she only got the status of a beauty and was not qualified to raise the prince.
Fengxian was raised by the childless queen after birth.In the first two years, the queen treated Feng Xian well, but soon the queen became pregnant and gave birth to the second prince, and she began to treat Feng Xian coldly.
After another five years, he found a random excuse and moved his residence to a remote corner of the palace, ignoring him.The weak Fengxian was bullied by the slaves who stepped down and praised him, and deducted his meager food and clothing.
With such a miserable life, Xiao Fengxian wanted to go back to her mother.But the biological mother was afraid of the queen's power, so she didn't dare to ask him back and refused to see him.
He wanted to sue his father, but he didn't meet him, so he was told to tell the queen and was severely beaten.
Feng Xian was the child of a lowly court lady, who took up the place of the eldest son of the royal family. The emperor was already dissatisfied with it. He added several sons in successive years, and he cared less about the eldest son of the emperor.Turn a blind eye to the abuse Feng Xian suffered.
Now Xiao Fengxian is isolated and helpless, even though he is a prince, he is as cheap as worthless, a ten-year-old child looks as thin and small as a six- or seven-year-old child.
Feng Xian was so hungry that he robbed the beast for food, and even thought that if he was eaten by the beast, it would be good to end his life.
After listening to Xiao Fengxian's story about the past, Uncle Xi sticks out his tongue to lick away his tears in distress.WooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooPoor.I must take good care of him.
After crying, little poor fell asleep in the raccoon's arms.
Time flies for more than half a year, and it is spring again.
On this day, Uncle Xi crawled out of the nest lazily and saw that the mulberries in the yard were growing well, so he slowly climbed the tree to pick them.Just halfway through the climb, I heard crisp and joyful laughter.
Uncle Xi turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Fengxian who was smiling.It was rare for the gloomy boy to show such a hearty smile, so Uncle Xi asked twice strangely.
"Little Xiongxiong, you climb the tree so slowly, let me pick it for you."
Feng Xian thought that the raccoon was asking for help, so she took off her shoes and socks, climbed up the tree trunk very nimbly, picked a bunch of mulberries, washed them, spread them in the palm of her hand, and fed them to Uncle Xi.
While eating mulberries, Uncle Xi listened to Xiao Fengxian's chatter: "My concubine came to see me today, and she even cut new clothes for me. I used to only dare to look at her from a distance, and this was the first time I talked to her up close.
The concubine mother is very gentle. She said that she didn't see me before because of my safety.Hahahahaha... Don't lick my palm... So many years have passed, the queen has never harmed me again, the concubine mother is relieved, she thinks it's time to ask me to go over, and ask if I would like to recognize her as my mother? "
Uncle Xun stuck out his tongue and rolled the sweet residue from his mouth into his lips, and tilted his head to look at him with a pair of black and round eyes.The brat already has the answer, doesn't he?
Xiao Fengxian patted Uncle Xie's head with a smile: "I know you are worried about me, so I decided to go back to my mother and concubine. Great, I also have a mother who loves me.
The concubine mother said, I am so old, I can't read and write.Therefore, with a full course schedule, I may not have time to visit you these days.When I am free, I will come to you. "
Uncle Xi was happy for Xiao Fengxian, and nodded in agreement.
Half a month later, Uncle Xi missed Feng Xian a little, turned into a human body, found Yu Concubine's palace, avoided the palace people, was looking around, when he heard Xiao Feng Xian's muffled cry.
Uncle Xi looked through the paper on the edge of the window.Concubine Yu whipped Xiao Fengxian's palms with a ruler, and said something in her mouth: "I still want to sneak out to play. Have you finished reading "The Analects of Confucius" and "Spring and Autumn"? You are ten years behind other princes. Want to go back to that gloomy cabin?"
Xiao Fengxian's hands were swollen into steamed buns, and she clenched her teeth to keep her tears from dripping.
Yu Pin reprimanded her for a full hour before letting Xiao Fengxian go back.
The servant held the lamp to send Feng Xian back to the bedroom, never caring about Feng Xian's injury all the way.Uncle Xi was so distressed that he turned into a servant and knocked on the door to enter.
Xiao Fengxian should have cried secretly in bed, her eyes were red and swollen, like two big walnuts, but she did not lose the majesty of the prince, her expression was indifferent, and her tone was calm: "Mingde, what's the matter with you?"
"The servant took the ointment for reducing swelling, so it will heal sooner." Uncle Xi took out a bottle of ointment, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to pull Feng Xian's hand.
Feng Xian raised her hand to avoid it, and lightly raised her chin: "Let it go."
Uncle Xi put the ointment on the bed cabinet, told Xiao Fengxian to apply it, bowed and left.
The next day, the worried Uncle Xi sneaked into Feng Xian's bedroom and found unopened ointment in the wastebasket.
Uncle Xi had no choice but to be too wary, like a hedgehog.When I came to the bed, I saw that the child was still frowning uncomfortably in his sleep, muttering something in his mouth.
Uncle Xi moved closer and heard the child calling "Xiong Xiong".For the first time, I felt the soreness and joy of raising a child, and used the demon power to heal Xiaofengxian's palm.
After Xiao Fengxian woke up, seeing that her palms had recovered to the original state, she only thought that she had a special physique and recovered quickly from injuries.
Another year passed.
During this period, Xiao Fengxian only sneaked into the raccoon twice.Seeing the raccoon rubbing against him affectionately and knowing him, I was very happy, and shared my recent life, for example, my father finally praised him for being smart, and the other little princes only memorized the entire Analects in one month, and he only needed ten days.
Uncle Xi often went to see him incognito, and he also helped him out of the siege two or three times as the servant Mingde.Naturally, she knows how much effort Feng Xian has put in behind her intelligence and understanding: she lights up the lamp at night and reads a book, secretly cooks and prepares birthday noodles in order to make her mother and concubine happy...
It's a pity that Xiao Fengxian is too naive.
Concubine Yu's status is low, but now she dares to use Feng Xian to fight for the reserve position. One reason is that Feng Xian is the eldest son, and she has a glimmer of hope for her.
The most important thing is that the faction of the General Protecting the Nation wants to gain power, so they support Feng Xian.
How can the empress tolerate others coveting the royal throne?Uncle Xi inquired that within a few days, the Great General Protecting the Nation would be killed, and the puppet Yu Pin and Xiao Fengxian could not escape death.
Uncle Xi was not interested in the royal intrigue at all, and fought back and forth. In just a hundred years, it took only four to five hundred years for a dynasty to rise and fall.He has long been accustomed to seeing the succession of dynasties.
However, he cared about Feng Xianzai.
He pretended not to eat, looked for an opportunity to feign death, and then quietly rescued Xiao Fengxian. From then on, he kept his anonymity and let Xiao Fengxian live a normal and happy life.
Xia Lei was rolling and the rain was torrential.
Uncle Xi scratched his chest with his paw, um... this atmosphere is suitable for his auspicious death.Ever since, he closed his eyes and stared at his legs, pretending to die suddenly.
When Xiao Fengxian heard the news, Uncle Xi had already been wrapped up with a straw mat by the servants and was about to be dragged outside the palace wall to be buried.In the majestic heavy rain and rumbling thunder, Xiao Fengxian cried like a tearful person, holding the raccoon's body and not letting go.
Uncle Xi closed his eyes and lay in Feng Xian's arms, tears or rain kept washing his face.While Uncle Xi felt his hair sticky, he also felt very comforted, the pain was not in vain.
Feng Xian was dragged away by the palace servants and had a high fever for three days.
Not long after recovering from a serious illness, the great general who protects the country was convicted of treason and exterminated nine clans.When Concubine Yu in the palace heard this, she fainted at that time.However, the young Fengxian didn't know the connection.
Half a month later, I don't know where the verse came from, that the eldest prince is the reincarnation of an evil spirit, and he will definitely bring disaster to the country and the country. Many courtiers begged the emperor to kill relatives righteously and kill Xiao Fengxian.
Concubine Yu was 'sick in bed' and was weak, so she never interceded for her parents and children.
After all, it was his own flesh and blood, and the emperor was also afraid of leaving the infamy of murdering his son, so he decreed to demote Feng Xian to a commoner.
Fengxian walked out of the palace for the first time, standing outside the heavy city gate, he looked so insignificant, only the servant Mingde was willing to stay by his side.
Faced with Fengxian's gratitude, Mingde's eyes concealed malicious intentions.
He is just a little servant, assigned to serve in the concubine's palace who is not favored. Facing the gloomy eldest prince, Mingde thinks his future is bleak.
For some reason, the eldest prince valued him more and more.At the moment when the eldest prince was demoted, the queen found him and was willing to bid a hundred gold for the eldest prince's life.And after he took the money, he flew away, and no one would pursue it.
It was precisely Ming De's wishful thinking that when Feng Xian asked him if he would leave the palace with him, he agreed without saying a word.
Mingde lied that he had a relative who lived in the capital and could go to seek refuge, and led Feng Xian to enter a remote alley with him.He looked around to make sure that there was no one around, quietly pulled out his dagger from behind Feng Xian, and stabbed at Feng Xian.
At this moment, a flash of white light flashed, and Mingde found himself suddenly appearing in another alley not far away, standing in front of him was a young man in a blue shirt.
Uncle Xi said slowly: "Prince Fengxian is the one I want to protect, who asked you to kill him?"
Mingde still wanted to resist, but he saw Uncle Xi swung the dagger into a banana. He was so frightened that he honestly confessed the queen's conspiracy.
Uncle Xi thought for a moment, and asked Mingde to go back and tell the queen that the man had been killed.
Uncle Xi followed Mingde incognito, watched Mingde communicate with the Queen's people, and used Fengxian's package as proof of murder.What he didn't expect was that the queen's people believed that after Feng Xian's death, Mingde was killed with a single blow.
Mingde's death is also a good thing for Feng Xian.
Uncle Xi turned into Ming De, ready to accompany Feng Xian to grow up.
When he returned to the alley, it was already dark, and the lonely and helpless Xiao Fengxian was curled up in a corner. When she saw him, she flew towards him with tears in her eyes, which lingered for a long time.
Oh, how stubborn and pitiful.
Uncle Xi patted him on the back lightly, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm just going to change some bank notes."
Uncle Xi pawned the big gold bathtub with tears in his eyes. Unexpectedly, the old emperor was so stingy that the bathtub was actually gold-plated.Fortunately, the tub was big enough, and with some money, they could buy a yard and live there for a while.
The two quickly selected a small courtyard with two rooms, and there was a mulberry tree in the courtyard.This reminded Uncle Xi of the hearty smile of the little boy when he helped him pick mulberries, hoping to make him live a happy life.
After the two settled everything, Feng Xian still had a gloomy expression on his face.Uncle Xi touched his nose, his brows were almost wrinkled at such a young age.
He called Feng Xian, and said righteously: "The eldest prince is dead, now you have to forget the past and start a new life. I am no longer your attendant, but your dear friend, understand?"
Feng Xian pondered for a moment, then replied: "You are right, the old names can no longer be used. Let's choose a new name for each other.
'Send Yuke to the Qingpao before arriving', Yuke means high-ranking officials and dignitaries, sending away the dignitaries, we are only poor green robes.How about I call you 'Yuqing'? "
"Very good. How about your name 'Xi Huan'? Always happy...don't make a bad face every day, just smile."
Uncle Xi stretched out two fingers, touched Feng Xian's dimples, and made a smiling face.
Feng Xian rubbed her cheeks, indignantly: "It sounds like a dog's name."
"The surname Xun is 'Xun', the 'Xun' of the knife ear, which means that you should cherish time, be vigilant at all times, and not reveal your identity."
Uncle Xi rubbed the soft hair on Xiao Fengxian's head, and the child he rescued would naturally have his surname.
Feng Xian pointed at herself reluctantly, and said, "Xi Huan."
He pointed to Uncle Xi again: "Xi Yuqing. We are a family, so we should have the same surname."
"Okay! From now on, I will be called 'Xi Yuqing'." Uncle Xi agreed with a big smile.
Xie Yuqing planned to spend a period of time as a mortal, but she had no choice but to use her demon power.This was the first time that he had been born as a demon in Xiong Yuqing in 2000.
In the first half year, many forces inquired about Feng Xian's news, but they were all confused by Xie Yuqing's demon power.Gradually, no one inquired about them, and they lived the most ordinary life in the market.
After buying household items and winter clothes, the silver taels exchanged for the Dajin bath tub is running out.The winter in the capital is extremely cold, and there is no charcoal fire in the room to keep warm. The two embraced each other and shivered under the quilt together.
Feng Xian is also Xi Huan, curled up in Xi Yuqing's arms.He wrapped his hands tightly around Xie Yuqing's slender waist, leaned his head on his chest, and whispered, "Ah Qing, your embrace is so warm."
Xie Yuqing shook her body and didn't answer, she couldn't help being proud, her body temperature was much higher than that of a human.
It's hard to survive the cold winter, and it's spring again.The house was pawned to a bare house, Xie Yuqing looked at the empty rice vat and sighed: "It's really hard to be a human being."
With a bag of rice in his hand, Xie Huan happily rushed into his arms.
"Ah Ching, I found a job as an apprentice. The Qianjie restaurant is short of manpower. The chef saw that I was clever and agreed to let me be an apprentice. Besides food, he was willing to give me three hundred Wen a month! It is enough for us to eat. There are unfinished dishes in the restaurant, maybe we can still eat big fish and meat from time to time."
Xie Yuqing looked down at Xie Huan's shining and joyful eyes, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
Little Xie Huan had only lived in the palace for a few days, and after becoming a commoner, he had to support himself as an adult.
Xie Yuqing said with a serious expression: "No. I will not let you be an apprentice! I want you to go to a private school to study and play with your peers like other children, and live a happy and worry-free life."
Xie Huan's eyes lit up, and then dimmed: "What's the use of my studies? I can't get fame. It's practical to learn a craft and support a family.
I saw that Li Ergou from next door and Ma Xiaodan from Qianjie did not find a good apprenticeship because of someone else, one was a carpenter and the other was a tinsmith.I am much better than them. "
Hearing his dejected tone, Xie Yuqing felt even more distressed, and put her hands on Xie Huan's cheeks, making him look up at her.
"Xiao Huan, in my mind, none of the emperor's princes can compare to you. You are resolute, talented and intelligent. Even if you are not a prince or emperor, you are still a proud son of heaven, not a cook. Don't worry about money. , I have my own solution."
In Xie Yuqing's clear eyes, she was definitely the only one.
He has never been so cherished.
Xie Huan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly looked away, the cheek touched by Xie Yuqing was like burning.
"Did you hear that?" Xie Yuqing asked softly, stroking the top of Xie Huan's head with her big palm.
Xie Huan lowered his head and said, "Understood. But I still have to work for a month..."
Xie Yuqing: "You kid?!"
"Listen to me..."
Xie Huan held the pair of big hands on top of her head firmly in her own.
His hands are much smaller than Xie Yuqing's, but one day, his hands will be bigger than Xie Yuqing's.One day, he will be taller than Xie Yuqing.
Just like Xie Yuqing protects herself, one day, he will also protect Yuqing from wind and rain.
Xie Huan curled her lips: "I paid a month's wages in advance to buy rice, no matter what, I have to finish it for a month. This month, I will study hard.
Ah Qing is too clumsy, and always hurts her hands when she goes to the kitchen.I will cook all the meals in the future.It is very hard for Ah Qing to support me. "
"Good boy." Xie Yuqing chuckled, feeling very satisfied.
—
Eight years later.
At the calligraphy and painting booth on Qianjie Street, Xie Yuqing put down her pen, rubbed her frozen hands, and said with a smile, "Aunt Liu, your homework is finished? Is there anything else you want to add?"
then.Xie Yuqing found that there were very few people with money to read and write, and there were many wars in the frontier. Many young and middle-aged men went to the border to join the army to fight. happy life.
Aunt Liu collected the family letter and asked with a smile: "Xiao Huan has grown up, and you are not too old. When Xiao Huan gets married, you will be left alone. Why don't you find another one while you are still young.
Widow Zhao next door asked me to ask for your message.Widow Zhao is young and beautiful and has no children. Her deceased husband left behind a gold jewelry shop.You want to marry in the past and enjoy yourself.Having another son and a half daughter, these days can be regarded as the end of all hardships. "
Xiong Yuqing just wanted to export and refused.
The young man's cold voice came: "My master will not get married. Aunt Liu, you have given up on it."
Once, the neighbors thought that Xie Huan was his son, but Xie Yuqing happily acquiesced.Unexpectedly, Xie Huan lost his temper.
That's right, in Xie Huan's view, he was originally a servant, that is, a eunuch, so how could he be his father.Therefore, after discussing with Xie Huan, Xie Yuqing and Xie Huan always referred to each other as master and apprentice.
Xie Yuqing smiled and said, "Xiao Huan, the private school is on holiday."
"Yeah." With a sullen face, Xie Huan quickly packed the things for Xie Yuqing, grabbed Xie Yuqing's arm, and walked back eagerly.
"Did you fail the exam? You look so ugly." Xie Yuqing asked in a low voice, "Why do you feel wronged and talk to Master?"
Xie Huan still did not speak.
This child... Xie Huan has always had a gloomy temper since he was a child, while Xie Yuqing is docile and not lively.
Nine years of living together did not affect Xun Huan's cheerfulness. Although the child was no longer gloomy, he was still taciturn and often worried.
Xie Huan wrapped Yuqing's hands with both hands, rubbed them together and let out a breath.Now, he is weaker than the crown, his palms are wider than the master, and his stature is also a head taller than the master.
He reluctantly showed a smile to Xie Yuqing: "How could it be bad? I am the first in the private school in both the literary and military tests. No student can compare to me."
"Are you still depressed?" Xie Yuqing was puzzled.
Xie Huan was silent for a moment, then said, "Go home and have dinner."
Xie Huan cooked a table of Xie Yuqing's favorite dishes.
During the meal between the two, Xie Huan said calmly: "Lyongyeon Academy sent an admission letter, and I am going to study at Longyon Academy."
"Xiaohuan, what are you talking about? That's Longyuan Academy! When did you apply, why didn't you discuss it with me?" Xie Yuqing put down the bowl and chopsticks heavily, and asked scoldingly.
Xie Huan's tone was firm: "Lyongyon Academy exempted me from all repair and miscellaneous fees, and gave me a certain amount of scholarship every year. This money is enough for your daily expenses.
Ah Qing, you don’t need to support the stalls in the cold winter months, and you don’t need to suffer from chilblains again.Longyeon Academy is the best academy in the whole country, it brings together great Confucian scholars, I can also..."
Xie Yuqing: "Because of this, you can't go. Most of the academy is the children of senior executives, and I heard that the third prince is also studying there. Your identity is too dangerous."
Xie Huan ignored Xie Yuqing's interjection, and continued: "The academy is several hundred miles away from the capital, and I will live on campus. Spring vacation, summer vacation, autumn vacation, annual vacation, four times a year, I will come back to see you.
I told Mrs. Wang next door to bring you three meals a day.Silver, I have already paid.The accounts and silver at home are kept in the third drawer under the desk.And... every year when the mulberries are ripe, I can't climb the tree to pick them for you.Don't climb the tree by yourself, if you fall when you are old... Anyway, I'm not here, you have to take care of yourself. "
Xie Yuqing said angrily: "Why are you explaining? If you are in danger, what is the point of explaining this to me?"
Xie Huan pressed his chest hard, and said silently, don't dance anymore, don't dance anymore...
He just treats you like a child.You must leave him, and you must not fall into immoral delusions.
"Things have passed for so long, and my appearance has changed so much that no one can recognize me. Didn't you teach me to live a happy life? The happiness of my life is to pursue knowledge. I must go to Longyeon Academy."
Xie Huan understands her master, and gives a reason that the other party cannot refuse: Ah Ching always wants him to be happy and happy.
Xie Yuqing was silent for a long time, rubbed her sore eyes, and took out a yellow paper crane from her bosom: "You are stubborn, and I can't stop you. Be careful in everything. If something goes wrong, come back quickly, I always have a solution Keep you safe. If you encounter an inescapable danger, tear off the paper crane, and it will keep you safe."
Xie Huan took the paper crane, and smiled lightly: "I didn't know that master could know Taoist tricks, why didn't he teach me?"
Xie Yuqing took a sip of tea in a concealed manner, and said, "I got it from a powerful Taoist by chance, trust me."
"Okay." Xie Huan didn't believe it, but carefully wrapped it with a handkerchief and put it close to her body.
He will take good care of all the tokens that Xie Yuqing gave him.
After the third day of the new year, Xie Huan was about to leave for the south to go to the academy.This New Year, welcome the Kitchen God, post Spring Festival couplets, watch the New Year’s Eve, set off firecrackers on the first day of the new year... Cherish it in the most complete and lively way.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Huan insisted that Xie Yuqing go to Qingshan Temple in the suburbs to pray for him, and he had to pay for the reunion of his classmates and friends.
Xie Yuqing was reluctant, he had never liked Buddha.
Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, fallacy!It's time to have a grudge and revenge, and to pay your life for your life.If you kill someone, you can get forgiveness if you say "I was wrong", and whoever complains the victim's grievances, isn't it full of hypocrisy in the world.
What's more, what a god, Xiao Huan has him to protect him.He is the protector of Xie Huan.
Having said that, seeing Xie Huan's hopeful face, Xie Yuqing still had patience, climbed thousands of steps, and bought an amulet from outside the gate of Qingshan Temple.
When he returned home, it was almost dark. When he opened the door, he saw that the courtyard was full of bright lanterns and mulberry branches.
Standing under the tree, Xie Huan stood tall with black hair and green clothes. He picked out a red paper lantern painted with the appearance of a raccoon and looked into his eyes, which were softer than the dim candlelight.
"I know you like to watch lanterns during the Lantern Festival. This year, I can't go with you, so I will celebrate the Lantern Festival together in advance."
Xie Yuqing couldn't take her eyes off the young man.The winter in the capital is much warmer today, Xie Yuqing thought.
—
As soon as Xie Huan left, Xie Yuqing's heart was half empty.
Xie Huan takes care of food, clothing, housing and transportation.Now that he's gone, Xie Yuqing has to search for a long time even where the paper is placed.The past two months have been a mess, and everything I see reminds me of Xie Huan, and I think of him growing up from an immature boy to a noble and elegant son.
Before going to bed, I took Xun Huan's half-monthly letter and read it through before I could fall asleep.
For the next month, Xie Yuqing counted on her fingers, counting day by day when Xie Huan will be on spring break.
Finally, on the day of the spring break, a letter was delivered to him in good time. The letter narrated the affairs of the last half month. It was nothing more than making friends, how interesting the class was, and telling him what to do.
In the end, he changed the subject and said that he was a guest at a friend's house during the holidays, and he would not go home.
Xie Yuqing was so angry that she burned half of the letter.
It is said that it is four times a year, and it must be going home every time to meet him, but it turns out that this is the first vacation, so I am ambitious.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt that the child was raised for nothing.Then I thought about it, why should I wait for him at the same place, and I will also go back to the forest to meet my old monster friend.
In this way, after many years, Xie Yuqing finally turned into the original body of a raccoon, lying on a tree branch deep in the dense forest, and spent half a month bored.
Immediately returned home.The next letter is due.
When he got the letter from the messenger as scheduled, he couldn't hide his joy.The familiar meaningful handwriting still narrates the recent life as always. At the end of the letter, Xie Huan wrote:
I know Ah Ching likes lychees the most.Unexpectedly, Jinzhou also has a kind of small litchi.The skin is red and purple with thorns, and the flesh is clear. When you pinch it, it is full of juice, which is actually sweeter than Yunnan litchi.While eating, I thought, if Ah Qing was here, it would be fine.
Xie Yuqing softened her eyes, I miss you too, brat.
Since you want to, go and see.It's not a blink of an eye for him to go to Jinzhou, a two-thousand-year-old monster.
Xie Yuqing bought Xie Huan's favorite dim sum in the capital, and arrived at Jinzhou City an hour later. Three quarters of the time she stopped to ask for directions.
He asked someone for the location of Longyuan Academy, and he appeared in front of the mountain gate of Longyuan Academy in an instant.Just as he was about to knock on the door to ask someone, he thought again, if the boy reports good news but not bad news, why not sneak in and check quietly to see if he has been bullied.
The invisible Huan Yuqing followed the students into the academy.
He walked around, and immediately saw the name 'Xi Huan' on the bulletin board of the examination school, which was at the top of the list, bold and bold.The six arts of rites, music, archery, censorship, calligraphy, and mathematics are all top-notch, and no one can surpass them.Xie Yuqing's pride welled up spontaneously.
At this moment, a familiar voice was heard.
"Brother Yuqing, I'm looking for you."
The high-spirited young man smiled brightly, and the corner of his clothes brushed against Xie Yuqing's, passing him by.
He embraced the shoulder of the person named 'Yu Qing' with an intimate gesture and doting eyes.
Xie Yuqing was dumbfounded, her heart ached slightly.
Xie Huan has always spoken and laughed freely, such a hearty smile, even with him day and night, he can't see it a few times a year.
Just like not wanting money, he gave it to another boy with a similar name to himself.
Xie Yuqing felt anxious that the treasure she cared for in every possible way would be snatched away by others without any effort.
With a sullen face, he stared at Xie Huan, and followed behind him step by step.
Xie Huan felt a chill run down his spine, he looked back and found something unusual.
"What's wrong? A Huan." Yu Qing looked at him worriedly.
Xie Huan looked at the face that was three points similar to that of Xie Yuqing, shook his head slightly, his eyes were soft like water: "It's nothing."
Keep talking about reading the books of sages and sages, and make a lot of great questions.It turned out to be such knowledge.Xie Yuqing looked sickly, and the child couldn't help her father.
Xie Yuqing followed Xie Huan all day, feeling more and more wrong.Xie Huan is not only gentle to Yuqing, well, apart from being extremely gentle to Yuqing, he is also hearty and smiling towards other people, Duanduan is a lively, cheerful and understanding young man.
The one he knew—Silent Fang Zhong's Xie Huan, was a different person.
Silent night.
Xie Huan's roommate has fallen asleep peacefully.Under the light of a small candle, Xie Huan quietly stroked the yellow paper crane.
Xie Yuqing looked at the yellow paper crane that was fluffed up, and the anger in her heart subsided a lot.
It's a good thing this kid has a conscience.It's just that if you rub it like this, the spells he attached to it will be rubbed off.
In the middle of the night, I finally waited until Xie Huan fell asleep.Xie Yuqing reinforced the spell with the paper crane again, and added a dialogue formation by the way.As long as Xie Huan called his name to the formation, he could hear it.
Xie Yuqing secretly followed Xie Huan for another three days, and the more she followed, the more frightened she became.Xie Huan's roommate is the third prince of the dynasty, and he has a good relationship with him.Not only that, the friends he handed over are many sons of high-ranking officials, such as the prime minister's son-in-law, the minister's nephew, the second son of the general's family...
What is this kid up to!
Xie Yuqing showed up and formally came to visit Xie Huan.
Xie Huan was delighted to hear that he was coming.It's just that Xie Huan didn't seem to want him to see his classmates, so he didn't let him enter the academy, so he dragged him down the mountain and found a secluded inn to sit down.
Xie Huan's eyes were burning, and he pulled the corners of his mouth up again, "Master, why are you here?"
Xie Yuqing did not reminisce with him, and scolded him severely: "I clearly want you to stay away from the sons of high officials, why do you make friends with them instead?"
"Who told you?" There was an imperceptible sternness in Xie Huan's eyes.
"No one told me, I just heard a few students chatting, saying that you are all-round, no matter which faction wants to win over you. They also said that you can be nominated as an official without even taking the imperial examination..." Xie Yuqing frowned road.
Xie Huan readily admitted: "That's true. The Empress died of a serious illness last year, and the second prince she gave birth to was extravagant and daring.
The third prince is now 16 years old, and he is the best candidate for the crown prince.He has promised me that by next year's birthday, he will recommend me to be an official in the court..."
Xie Yuqing helped her forehead helplessly: "Xiao Huan, I don't understand. It's been almost ten years, why do you still want to get involved in the fight for the heir apparent?"
Xie Huan showed a sneer: "I don't understand either. I don't understand why my father doesn't have any affection for me? I don't understand why my mother can easily abandon her mother and child who was pregnant in October for the sake of prosperity and wealth?"
"Can't you treat me as your parent?" Xie Yuqing asked.
Xie Huan's eyes were dim, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are not, you never were, and I never regarded you as my father."
Xie Yuqing was heartbroken upon hearing this.
Xie Huan continued: "Go back to the capital, and pretend you don't know me. When everything is settled, I will go home and be with you...and never be separated from you."
After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to look at Xie Yuqing's face, and left in a hurry.
Xie Yuqing somewhat hated that iron could not be made into steel, and in anger, teleported back to the capital.
Seeing that Xun Huan was pale, Yu Qing went to help him, but was thrown away.
Xie Huan sees that Yu Qing looks hurt.Thinking of when Xie Yuqing faced him, she didn't show any weakness.Xie Yuqing is always like this, always slow and unhurried.
Yuqing, Yuqing...
Knowing that he would unconsciously call out the names "Yuqing" and "Aqing" in his dreams, Xie Huan deliberately approached Yuqing and made friends with him.
But he never called "Aqing" to Yuqing, even if he called himself "Ahuan".
Ah Qing, there is only one person.He could give up his life to fight and grab, but Xie Yuqing couldn't be harmed in the slightest.
Waking up in the middle of the night, Xie Huan's mouth was parched, the entanglement in the dream made him happy, and the parting in reality seemed even more lonely.
He picked up the wooden hairpin by his side and stabbed it fiercely towards his thigh.If the trouser legs are rolled up, Xie Huan's legs are covered with scars of different shades, some of which can only see light white skin, and some have just formed scars.
Whenever he had lust for Yuqing, Xie Huan would draw a line on his body to wash away his sins with blood.
absolute!Never bully Xie Yuqing!
—
Summer is here, and the heat is so hot that you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Xie Yuqing closed the letter stall early, and fanned herself under the mulberry tree to enjoy the shade.
Looking at the heavy bunches of purple mulberries, he slapped the cattail fan, and a bunch of mulberries were picked off, put into the bucket in an orderly manner, and neatly stacked in his palm.
Xie Yuqing ate mulberries and played with a fan.As a great demon, he can easily disappear without a trace.But after all, he didn't want to give up Xian Huan's son, and he didn't live enough for a mortal life.
Xie Yuqing chose to wait.When Xie Huan comes back, or when Xie Huan is about to die, reach out and save
