After the cannon fodder fell into my arms

thirteen,

This Tianyun Building is considered one of the best restaurants in Beijing, and it is very close to Qingping Temple. Every year when the altar is set up for offering sacrifices, it is basically reserved by various high-ranking families and big families.

Wang Xu also invited them here.

Therefore, meeting Shen Changhuan here was unexpected, but it was also expected.

Xie Changyue patted Gu Siyuan lightly, and jumped off his back.

After he got down, regardless of other things, he smiled lightly and walked straight towards the little brother in the light red shirt who had just spoken.

"Slap!" A crisp slap sounded as he raised his hand.

The air fell silent.

The corner of Gu Siyuan's mouth hooked slightly.

Shen Changhuan's face turned pale at first, and then there was a hint of gloating in his eyes.

"Xie Changyue, you dare to hit me!" The little brother covered his face and screamed in disbelief.

He never thought in his life that he would be slapped in broad daylight.

The younger brother's name is Shan Ying, and he is the second son of Princess Liyang. Princess Liyang is the daughter of the first emperor, and she has always been arrogant and domineering.After the current emperor ascended the throne, he still did not change his true colors.

Especially before the Holy Majesty succeeded to the throne, there were quite a lot of struggles and twists and turns. The brothers and sisters died and walked away, but only two or three seedlings remained in Beijing, and Princess Liyang was one of them.

In order to show his brotherly love to the world, and because Li Yang is a woman, the Holy Majesty tolerated her a lot, and this further fueled the arrogance of Princess Li Yang. If the Holy Majesty refused to agree to her, she would go to the Taimiao and cry in front of the late emperor's spirit.

Over time, he has almost become a tyrant in the capital.

Because Shan Ying's eyebrows and eyes resemble the eldest princess herself, she has been doted on since she was a child.

Under the influence of his ears and eyes, his temperament is naturally somewhat similar, but he is a little more restrained than the eldest princess, and only bullies those who are not as good as him in status and family background, and ridicules others who are too thoughtful and restless.

As a result, among the group of upper-class people in Beijing, there is actually a good reputation for being an outspoken and quick-tempered man.

And more than a year ago, when Shan Ying and Ji were adults, the eldest princess ran into the palace very excitedly to ask the sage for grace, hoping to make her brother a county king.

Of course, no matter how much she cried in the end, the Holy Majesty did not agree.

The Holy Majesty is not made of clay, the tolerance for her these years has almost come to an end, and he still wants to make his brother the county monarch, which is a good idea. Uncle Wang's brother is not even named?

The county monarch has a rank and a salary. Is it because he thinks the treasury is too full for such a virtuous person?

And this is one of the reasons why Shan Ying uttered evil words to Xie Changyue today. What she couldn't ask for, but was obtained by such a country boy, how could she bear it.

Xie Changyue loosened her slender and fair fingers, and looked coldly at the person in front of her: "It was you who beat me, where did the rogue come from, and dare to mock the magistrate who was personally proclaimed by the Holy Majesty? Are you using this to express dissatisfaction with the Majesty? You... want to rebel?"

Shan Ying's complexion changed drastically, and the anger in her heart turned into panic in an instant: "You...what are you talking about? When did I become dissatisfied with...the Holy Spirit..."

Although, when he learned that Xie Changyue was rewarded, he was indeed very dissatisfied with his emperor's uncle, but he absolutely couldn't say it out loud.

Xie Changyue tilted her head slightly, looked at him with squinted eyes, and said in a calm tone, "Then, why don't you get out of here, what are you doing here blocking the way of the county lord? The county lord thinks you are dissatisfied?"

Shan Ying's mind was blank, and she took a few steps aside.

Seeing his husband's performance, Gu Siyuan stepped forward with a smile on his face, led him up to the Tianyun Building, and said in a low voice, "You really deserve to be the county lord, you're so majestic, I'm so scared."

Xie Changyue immediately turned her head and wrinkled her little nose at him with a cute look.

After seeing the two of them leave, Shen Changhuan frowned slightly and looked at Shan Ying who was beside him: What an idiot!

On weekdays, facing the brothers and sisters of the ordinary officials' families, they would be sarcasm and sharp-tongued. I don't know how many people would scold and cry. They would be frightened by Xie Changyue, like a fool.

But... there is still use value.

He took a step forward, grabbed Shan Ying's hand with a worried expression on his face, and said, "Aying, are you okay? Chang Yue is crazy, how dare he... If the eldest princess finds out, how can she be angry?"

Shan Ying's face turned red, and she suddenly woke up, as if she realized what she had just done.

His eyes were full of flames, and he gritted his teeth: "Okay... what a Xie Changyue, a bastard from the countryside, who dares to humiliate and bully me like this. Hmph, wait, if I don't let him kneel down and apologize in front of me, I won't believe it."

After speaking, he turned and walked down the street.

Today, under the eyes of all the people, he has lost all face. If he can't get it back thousands of times, others don't know how to ridicule him in their hearts, and he will have no face in this capital anymore.

Standing at the gate of Tianyun Building, Shen Changhuan looked at Shan Ying's back under the sinking sun, as if she was about to burn.

At this moment, Xiao Jingchuan and Shen Changye jumped off the horse together with the sound of "xilulu".

Seeing his expression, Xiao Jingchuan frowned and asked, "What happened? I saw that the one who ran away angrily just now is the brother of Princess Liyang's family?"

As he said that, he also looked at Shen Changye with an unpredictable expression.

Everyone knows that this brother of the eldest princess's family has taken a fancy to Shen Changye recently, Hong Luan is a star.

Shen Changye had a disgusted expression.

Shen Changhuan blinked, and a clear smile returned to his face, and asked the two of them, "Why are you here now? I've been waiting for a long time?"

Shen Changye looked at Xiao Jingchuan.

Xiao Jingchuan had a helpless expression: "Before going out, my mother took me to talk again."

"Oh." Shen Changhuan nodded, didn't say anything more, just led the two of them to the building behind them.

Gu Siyuan and Xie Changyue went up to the second floor.

Wang Xu stood up and waved to them, and the two immediately walked over to his place.

The second floor is not a box, but a lot of small compartments half-opened around the stairs and railings with screens. It not only has a certain degree of privacy, but also can join the excitement upstairs and downstairs, which is very in line with this guy's style.

After Gu Siyuan and the two sat down, Wang Xu immediately taunted: "Look, I was ashamed to say that I was fighting with people in Beijing all day long, but the trouble-making skills of the two of you are no better than mine. Poor, just wait, Princess Li Yang loves her son Shan Ying the most, and she might be going to the palace to sue soon."

Xie Changyue immediately glared at him unconvinced.

Gu Siyuan took a sip of tea, looked at the person opposite and asked calmly: "Listen, you have a lot of experience in dealing with Princess Liyang."

Wang Xu blinked mysteriously: "What do you think?"

Gu Siyuan put down his cup and said lightly, "I won't say anything."

"..." Wang Xu.

After a while, he said angrily, "Don't you have any curiosity?"

Xie Changyue raised her eyebrows triumphantly at him: "My husband is not as naive as you."

Wang Xu spread his hands: "Okay, I won't play tricks anymore. Before I left Beijing for Wuqing County, I beat up the fat son of the eldest princess, Shan Xiong, twice."

Gu Siyuan then asked: "Then, did she go to the palace to file a complaint?"

Wang Xu nodded: "Of course."

"..." Gu Siyuan.

Why do you sound so smug?

Wang Xu was really proud: "Let me tell you, don't listen to people saying how naughty I am. Some people in Beijing are deliberately ruining my reputation. I beat those who deserve to be beaten. I will beat that fat man two times." Once, he trampled and injured a vegetable farmer with a horse on the long street, and he didn't even pay for the money; once, he bullied a little girl who was only seven or eight years old in a teahouse. Have a good time!"

Gu Siyuan nodded: "It's really a good job."

When Wang Xu heard this, he immediately smiled: "I knew it, you understand my young master."

Gu Siyuan looked at him and asked persistently, "So, what about after the complaint?"

"..." Wang Xu had no choice but to continue: "Then, the next day, after my Shangshu father came back from court, he whipped me a few times and fined me not to go out for a few days. Otherwise, what else can I do? Will the fat man beat me up too?"

Wang Xu's family background and status are different, so there is not much reference value.

Gu Siyuan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then asked, "By the way, do you know why that brother is hostile to Changyue? The way he looks at Changyue is too emotional, and it doesn't seem like he is simply arguing for Shen Changhuan."

Xie Changyue looked at her husband and asked doubtfully, "Well, is that so?"

Wang Xu was shocked: "No, you ask me this, how do I know this, I am a big man, why don't I go to inquire about the gossip between my brothers?"

"I might know."

At this time, a gentle male voice came from the compartment behind them.

The three of Gu Siyuan turned their heads together and looked back.

Then, two slender figures walked out of the compartment.

"Five..." Wang Xu's eyes widened for a moment, he stood up and called out, as if thinking of something, he immediately changed his words: "Cousin, and... big brother."

Gu Siyuan looked at one of the figures, which was quite familiar to him. A few months ago, they met up close in Huangyang Village.

He raised his brows slightly, slowly arched his hands and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Hearing this, there were faint smiles on the faces of the two people opposite.

a while.

There were only the three of them left in the cubicle, and Wang Xu patted his chest: "Fortunately, I didn't do anything else today. Why did my brother come out?"

As he said that, he looked at Gu Siyuan: "Hmph, you're really embarrassing."

Gu Siyuan glanced at him lightly: "It can only be said that your status in your family is really low."

Xie Changyue immediately covered her mouth and laughed "hehe".

"..." Wang Xu.

In this world, how could there be such a person who actually hates him more than himself?

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums outside the building.

It's the beginning of the funeral ceremony.

The three of them looked at each other and walked towards the window not far away at the same time.

At this time, Xu Shizheng has passed.

The night in October is dark early, but today the city of Kyoto is brightly lit.

The cold wind blows in late autumn, but after passing through many crowds, I can no longer feel the slightest coolness.

Not far from the Yongding River, there are fireworks of various colors rising into the sky, and there are countless painted boats and light boats on the river, and the sound of silk and bamboo intersects.

Around the wide altar, there were fierce cheers, as if the roof was about to be lifted.

Xie Changyue stood at the window watching, and couldn't help jumping up and down.

Gu Siyuan's expression remained unchanged, but he quickly stretched out his hand to block the window, for fear that this person would get carried away and accidentally jump out.

I don't know how long it took before Xie Changyue lost his interest, and pulled Gu Siyuan back to the previous cubicle to sit down, and took a sip of tea by the way.

At this moment, a male voice sounded: "Changyue?"

Gu Siyuan and Xie Changyue turned their heads together and looked at the place where the sound came from.

It was Shen Changhuan, Shen Changye and Xiao Jingchuan, and the one who spoke just now was obviously Shen Changye.

Xie Changyue narrowed her eyes and nodded in greeting: "...Second Young Master Shen?"

Shen Changye lowered his face in displeasure when he heard him call this, and his voice became weaker: "Changyue, I have heard that you have returned to Beijing a long time ago, why don't you go back to the uncle's residence?"

Xie Changyue didn't care that his tone became colder, but continued: "Changyue has already sent someone to Suiningbo's mansion to greet him before, maybe Young Master Shen didn't know about it? If you want to meet again in person, then there is really no need, since it was wrong at the beginning , then it should be more clean and tidy at the end, which is good for everyone. This is also the reason why Changyue left directly after knowing the truth."

Hearing this, Shen Changye's complexion became even more ugly.

Shen Changhuan took a step forward, and said as if it was unbearable: "Changyue, why are you talking like that, the Shen family's love for you for so many years of teaching and nurturing, and the warmth of your parents for many years, are you completely ignoring it? ?”

Hearing this, Xie Changyue looked at him with wonder.

"So, did the Xie family and his wife in Huangyang Village treat you badly, and didn't let you enjoy the warmth of teaching and nurturing? Otherwise, why didn't you go back and see them?" Gu Siyuan raised his eyelids slightly, looking at Shen Changhuan and asked.

Shen Changhuan's words were slightly astringent.

Because the old lady of the Shen family has a very weird personality, she doesn't like the Xie family, and she doesn't like him to get in touch with the Xie family again; in addition, Xiao Jingchuan's mother is an extremely old-fashioned person, who thinks that the country people are vulgar and rude, so she doesn't want him to be with the Xie family. Make more contacts.

In addition, he went back to do other secret things, not to thank his family, so the only few times he went back to Huangyang Village were completely hidden, only Xiao Jingchuan and Gu Gu knew about it.

but……

He looked at Gu Siyuan suspiciously, the person in front of him obviously met him once in the countryside, why did he still use this to block his mouth at this moment?Did he already know that he dared not admit it?

On the other side, Shen Changye frowned directly when he heard the words, and said coldly: "The Xie family is only a farmer, how can it be compared with my Suining uncle's mansion?"

Gu Siyuan sneered: "I don't know that there is a difference between high and low in the relationship between parents? Tsk, maybe it is true. After all, on the cliff back then, the Xie family had to sacrifice their own Changyue's life for the adopted son Shen Changhuan Not to mention, Changyue's biological mother also died to save Shen Changhuan."

"So, who should cherish some nurturing feelings more? Who should go back and have a look?"

Today's Tianyun Building is full of children from high-ranking families in the capital. They have long heard the rumors about the exchange of sons in the Suiningbo Mansion. Now, from these few words, they have probably made up a story, and they can't help but start discussing one after another.

"Tsk, there is such an allusion...then the Xie family has done their utmost to Shen Changhuan."

"So the Xie family treated him a hundred times better than his own? Then Shen Changhuan went back to Suiningbo's mansion without hesitation at the beginning, and he didn't give up at all?"

"Tsk, one is the uncle's house, and the other is the farmhouse. Does it need to be said?"

"Since that's the case, didn't Xie Changyue leave the uncle's mansion directly and let Shen Changhuan come back, didn't it just mean that he didn't cling to wealth? Isn't the Shen family satisfied?"

"I didn't keep you when I left, but now that I've been named a county lord, I'm talking about upbringing and warmth. Is it because I want to repay you with kindness, haha..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Shen Changhuan hurriedly showed weakness, and said earnestly: "That's not the case. I am extremely grateful to the Xie family, and the uncle's residence does not want to return favors. Changyue grew up in such a noble place since he was a child. Could it be that Don't you know the situation in the mansion, where will..."

"Hmph, the uncle's family has a great career, how can they value that kind of reward." Shen Changye was already in a state of exasperation, he never expected that Gu Siyuan would be so careless, and directly revealed all these secrets in front of the public .

"Oh, I understand. The Xie's family on the left of your brothers can't be compared, and the uncle's mansion on the right is a noble place with a big family business. Therefore, you just think that Chang Yue spent a lot more money than Shen Changhuan since childhood."

As Gu Siyuan said, he paused again, looked at the two brothers and said, "So, did your Shen family come to ask Changyue for living expenses today? Well, how much is it? You know, Changyue just sent money."
