Chapter 69: The Twilight Returns
Seeing that she didn't continue for a long time, Rui Niang finally couldn't help it, took the child away, and threw the child's back to her, "What is the name of the first thing you want to finish?" We've been waiting for so long, aren't you tempting? ”
Xi Cui realized that everyone was waiting for her, she smiled and looked at Huan Huanxi, and saw that they were also looking forward to it, so she muttered in a somewhat mocking tone, "Twilight descends from Bishan, and Shanyue returns with people." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info but take care of the way it came, the sky is verdant. Hand in hand with the Tian family, the child opens the thorns. It's called Twilight Return, right? Just now I heard the child's cry at the door, and suddenly remembered this poem, think about what kind of comfort it would be for us to have such a child run out to greet us when we walk to the door in the future! She had a smile on her face, a little bit of expectation, a little nostalgia......
In fact, no one knew that what appeared in her eyes at the moment was her own pair of younger siblings.
I hope that as Qi Yu said, everything is fine with them......
The child's cry came again, disrupting Xi Cui's thoughts. She smiled and asked Rui Niang, "Did the dumb woman say what the child's name was?" ”
Rui Niang shook her head, her face full of sadness.
Huan Huan leaned over and explained, "It turns out that the dumb woman is really a mute and can't speak at all. When we went to pick up the child, we didn't give her the purse directly, but she didn't even stop it. The child was crying on the earthen kang, but she didn't coax it. We have found it early, otherwise this child may not have suffered some crime! Not to mention naming your child. ”
"How can this be true? Why didn't the old lady of the Wang family see her character clearly and then send the child over? This is also her own grandson, how can she be so casual and perfunctory! Xi Cui remembered the appearance of the old lady kneeling on the ground and entrusting the child to herself that day, and suddenly felt deceived.
"Actually, think about it, maybe the old lady doesn't know the child's situation? There have been so many things happening in the Wang family, her body is getting worse and worse, and her hands are getting tighter and tighter, and the things she explained will inevitably be perfunctory by those subordinates. We just came out of the Wang family, isn't it clear what the situation is inside? Rui Niang gently patted his back with the child, coaxed him to sleep, and continued in a low voice, "I am still grateful to her, at least she reunited our mother and son." I think we're the best we have now, with our own home, our children, and your sisters......"
"Rui Niang, have you forgotten something?" Duan San came in from outside, holding a chicken in his hand, "Such a big woman, how can you do it without me as an old man?" So this home can't live without me! Just sent Lao Ma back (Lao Ma is the shopkeeper of the VIP building, Duan San doesn't like the title of the shopkeeper, and everyone who is passable in the relationship calls him by his name.) Passing by the market and buying a chicken by the way, we haven't even eaten a good meal in the past two days, I'll give you a stewed chicken to eat today. ”
"Will you do it?" I saw Huan Huan looking at the chicken in Duan San's hand with a disgusted expression, then shook his head to look at Duan San's face, and pursed his lips, "What kind of chicken did you pick?" Skinny like this? Starving, right? Are you still stewing chicken? I don't think you even know how to pick chickens! ”
Duan San's originally sunny smiling face instantly cracked and shattered into ice slag, he rolled his eyes back, shook the chicken in his hand vigorously, only heard a few croaking sounds, the chicken began to flutter its wings and scream, making chicken feathers fly, and finally lost a small lump of chicken droppings. "See? Alive! Duan San dropped these few words, carried the chicken and went to the back kitchen.
Leaving Huanhuan standing next to him staring at his departing back, his two round eyes widened and pointed in the direction he was going, "What kind of person is this...... Get chicken feathers and chicken manure on the ground to prove that the chickens are alive! If you want us to see the chicken alive, you can let people see the chicken's belly, I've never seen this kind of brainless! Sure enough, the limbs are developed and the mind is simple! ”
Xi Cui wanted to come forward to persuade him, but was stopped by Xixi, "When they were in the Wang family, they were like this, but you don't know, it's okay, what should the two of them do when they turn around." ”
"Really?" Xi Cui only knew that Huanhuan had been obsessed with Duan San's "broken arm enmity" since she didn't know Duan San, but she didn't know that she could hold a grudge like this, looking at her and Duan San's appearance was a bit like Huanxi's enemies, which was good.
Thinking of the word home, she can't help but think of her parents and siblings, if she can bring them together...... But is it right now? Duan San was still worried about avenging Xi Yunjian, and he acted in such a play with Nangong Yufeng, as well as that shocking secret. As soon as she thought of these, Xi Cui felt that her family should never be involved, and she would rather never see them again in this life than harm them innocently and be implicated.
This is a two-in, two-out courtyard, although it is not big, but it is better than peace of mind. Xi Cui thought about it and didn't look for a housekeeper, there were few people in such a small family, so there was no need. But the cook still has to find one, after all, these women don't know how to cook, and the things made by Duan San are barely making a living, and they can't stand eating them for a long time, the key is that he is too heavy, and the dishes he makes are spicy, and few people can stand it.
By the time Duan San brought the stewed chicken soup, it was already almost dark. The child drank the milk and fell asleep on the cot, Rui Niang closed the door of the bedroom and sat down to eat with everyone. I didn't think it before, but when I saw the children today, I found that Rui Niang gave people a lot of feelings, but she couldn't say what had changed, in short, looking at her would make people feel inexplicably comfortable and warm...... Perhaps, this is what it feels like to be a mother.
Since they have their own place, they don't pay attention to any rules, and they sit down happily, and everyone sits at the same table regardless of each other, which really feels like a family.
Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, Duan San suddenly stood up, looked out of the door with a vigilant face, and stretched out his hand to protect a group of women behind him......
"Duan San, you got drunk before you even drank, can't you even hear my footsteps?" Nangong Yufeng's voice came in from outside, followed by his white brocade robe.
To say that Nangong Yufeng's face is really good-looking, even Huan Huanxi didn't control his eyes when he saw him for the first time, and looked at him vigorously. It can be seen that after a few times, there is not much of the initial excitement left, not to mention that Xi Cui has already explained their relationship clearly, and Huan Huanxi is naturally respectful of Nangong Yufeng in Xi Cui's heart. Seeing him uninvited this time, although he was not very happy, he didn't dare to speak out because of his identity, so he could only stand aside in a proper manner.
Nangong Yufeng came in and saw everyone standing around the table, and immediately understood what was going on. He didn't know why he came here, he came out of the VIP building and wandered around the street for a few hours, Lao Xuefen's words always lingered in his ears, what is Xi Cui better than other women? The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, so he walked here by his legs and feet, and before entering the door, he thought of the reason, and said that he would come to see what was missing here, so that someone could make up for it, but he didn't expect to hear the laughter inside as soon as he entered the door. Attracted by the laughter, he unconsciously walked in.
"Lord Shizi, you won't come here for dinner, will you?" Duan San saw that the good atmosphere disappeared as soon as he came in, and he was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, he was never afraid that Nangong Yufeng would say it directly. "I'm afraid we can't match your appetite."
"That's true, I'm really easy not to eat anything outside." Nangong Yufeng originally prepared all the good words that Duan San blocked back, and these were the ones that blurted out. Looking at Xi Cui's face, although he was silent, he must have been angry in his heart, and Nangong Yufeng also regretted it, but this third was too annoying.
"In that case, dare to ask the prince of the world who condescended to come to the door in person and don't know what happened?" You are noble, everyone here knows, but since you are here, you should be a guest. Xi Cuiyuan also thought that the house he bought was very good, and he should thank him well, but when he heard his tone, he swallowed back the prepared thank you.
"I ......" Nangong Yufeng was just about to explain, when he heard a wow sound inside, which seemed to be a child's cry.
Rui Niang hurriedly ran in to see the child, Huanhuan also ran in, and Xixi guarded Xi Cui.
"How can there be children?" Nangong Yufeng asked.
"What we adopted will be our children from now on. A yard, a few women and a few children to look like a home. Xi Cui didn't intend to let him know the identity of the child, so she could only send him away with casual nonsense.
The child soon stopped crying, Huanhuan came out, the door closed gently, and a hypnotic tune humming softly came from inside......
"Adopt a child! You're really not afraid of having too much to do. Nangong Yufeng smiled helplessly and sat on a chair connected to the coffee table, "You fell out with the Wang family on your front foot and were kicked out, and you entered the house I bought for you, and you brought such a child on your back foot, what will others think?" Do you really want your reputation? ”
Hearing him say this, Xi Cui suddenly laughed, "My reputation? Shizi Ye is really good at laughing, my reputation has been ruined since you first involved me, okay? In that case, why don't I just do what I want? "Anyway, what I want most is destined to be out of reach.
"I said a long time ago that I will naturally give you an explanation for this matter, and I will not let you suffer grievances in vain, but you can't ...... either" Nangong Yufeng was about to say that Xi Cui was a concubine, and before he could finish speaking, Xi Cui interrupted him sharply.
"Lord Shizi, please be careful! I have already said my decision on this matter, so there is no need to mention it again. Since we will continue to cooperate in the future, it is better for me to make the rules clear first. Xi Cui simply left the dining table and sat on the chair next to Nangong Yufeng, separated from him by a small coffee table. Xixi has already prepared tea and served.
"What rules?" Nangong Yufeng gritted his teeth and asked. Anyone could tell that he was almost trying to restrain his temper with all his might. Huan Huanxi couldn't help but sweat for Xi Cui, Nangong Yufeng had a bad temper at first glance, if it really made trouble, Xi Cui would not be able to fall well.
"I can't have the final say on this rule, you are the prince of the world, this rule has to be drafted by you, I believe that the prince is a true gentleman who is difficult to chase after him." Xi Cui is not stupid, if you don't give him some face at this time, let him get off the donkey, this master's temper is really going to come up?
Seeing that Xi Cui didn't have an inch, and he still remembered his identity, Nangong Yufeng's face eased, "I don't have so many ideas, since you brought it up, let's listen to your meaning first." But there is one thing, if you have something to do with me in the future, you can say it yourself, you can't call Duan San to pass the word anymore, this person can't speak at all! ”
Duan San gave him a blank look.
Xi Cui nodded, "It's natural. Unless I have to, I will not dare to bother your master in the future. Seeing that Duan San was about to interject, Xi Cui waved his hand at him, signaling him not to be impatient. Then I'll tell you what I think. First, my relationship with you will only last until you have the Tiger Talisman in your hands and the military power is truly in your hands. Second, during this period I will not do anything in your name to bully others, but if I suffer any loss as a result of your relationship, you will compensate me equally. Third, I am not your woman, and I have done things that have nothing to do with you, please don't interfere. ”
Nangong Yufeng didn't know why he felt very uncomfortable after listening to her request, but if he thought about it carefully, her request was not very excessive, and it could even be said to be very reasonable, but it was too reasonable so he was uncomfortable. It seems that she is here to draw the boundary between the two, reminding him where the edge of the thunder pool is, and it is best not to cross it.
But in the end, he is Nangong Yufeng, he was born as the pride of the sky, everything has always been under his control, and it should be under his control, and this matter is the same. Xi Cui is a woman, of course he will not let go easily.
There are so many people who come and go with each other, and some accounts are naturally not clear......
Xi Cui said that Nangong Yufeng did not nod or send it right, and simply ignored it.
Xi Cui looked at him and knew that the negotiation was not successful this time, she should have thought of it, it would take some time and effort to talk about something with someone like Nangong Yufeng, and it was not easy to ease the uncle's mood, and it would be difficult to extinguish it if he added a handful of firewood to burn it.
This matter can only be done temporarily.
Huan Huanxi went to the kitchen to warm it up, and everyone began to eat. Nangong Yufeng naturally ate with him, although Duan San's face turned black to the bottom of the pot.
Before leaving, Nangong Yufeng looked at Duan San, "I'll find you a cook who can cook another day, it's not okay to go on like this." After finishing speaking, he left, Duan San snorted from his nostrils, and said in his heart, he said no until he finished eating, he was extremely shameless!
In the next few days, Xi Cui and the others found a cook, bought furniture, and added some flowers and plants to the yard.
It's just that they got busy and didn't notice that there were new rumors outside, and that child really became a topic that Xi Cui was happy to talk about again. Some say that Xi Cui has long had a relationship with Nangong Yufeng, and this child is their illegitimate child, and some say that Xi Cui is not clean at all, and that the child is not necessarily Nangong Yufeng's, what he said is reasonable, what Nangong Yufeng has not been in the capital before......
The place where Twilight Moon returns has also become a household name, and almost everyone in the capital knows who lives there. Although he didn't like this, Xi Cui still benefited a lot from it. She went to talk to Zhang Xun about things, so she went to Jinyi Pavilion and pretended to go there to buy clothes. I just picked out a few clothes at random, but I didn't expect someone to see it and spread it, and in less than two days, the store in Jinyi Pavilion sold out all the inventory. It seems that the women in the capital hate Xi Cui in their mouths, but in their hearts they wish they could capture a man like Nangong Yufeng like her. So what clothes Xi Cui wears and what jewelry she wears has become a topic of interest for them, that is, to imitate as much as possible.
So Zhang Xun and the white fat man simply sent people to the twilight moon all day long to send clothes and jewelry to Xi Cui, deliberately making people look at it, just to make Xi Cui wear beautiful, but it was so simple that their business could be much better.
No one would doubt where Xi Cui got so much money, everyone took it for granted that Xi Cui must be rich, because Nangong Yufeng doted on her.
According to the plan, Xi Cui should arrange an opportunity to get involved in the business world, if she wants the money she is holding in her hand to become something else, she must first be able to use the money justifiably, just by relying on Nangong Yufeng, this identity is far from enough.
So she turned into the righteous daughter of Zhang Xun, the shopkeeper of Tianyi Silk Village, Zhang Xun held a banquet in the VIP building and drank the tea served by Xi Cui in front of everyone, which was considered to have completed the recognition ceremony. In order to express his liking for this daughter, Zhang Xun took out the deed of Jinyige on the spot and handed it to Xi Cui, which was regarded as giving Jinyige to her.
Zhang Xun's business has been thriving since he became an imperial merchant, and he has almost become the richest man in the capital, and he is also known for his generosity. Although this incident was a sensation, it was not suspicious, because after Zhang Xun became an imperial merchant, he befriended many court officials, and he seemed to be happy to deal with these officials. Although this time's handwriting is a little bigger, everyone thinks that he may be trying to appease Nangong Yufeng, and naturally feels that it is nothing, Nangong Yufeng is not an ordinary person after all, and it is worth him to pay such a big price.
Xi Cui's plan was going well, but she overlooked one thing. That is, she shows up all day long, and she always meets her old friends.
And this person is Qi Yu's mother, Liu. Some time ago, the Liu family noticed that Qi Yu was not quite right, and seeing that the spring was approaching, he was always absent-minded. Sometimes although people stay in the study, their souls don't know where they have gone, and from time to time they are in a daze at the white jade lotus that they gave to Xi Cui in the past. What made her even more puzzled was that Qi Yu often secretly went behind her back to see Xi Cui's family, if she hadn't followed quietly, she didn't know that he would waste five days every month to visit Xi Cui's family in Pingyang City, which is not far from the capital.
If she didn't know Xi Cui's recent situation, the Liu family might be Qi Yu's love and righteousness, as long as it wasn't too much, she would turn a blind eye to it. But Xi Cui has been in the limelight too much recently, and even a woman like Liu, who hardly goes out on weekdays, has heard rumors about her.
At this time, Liu couldn't sit still. She felt that since Xi Cui was living such a beautiful life now, her family should naturally be taken care of by herself, so why bother Qi Yu? So after Qi Yu entered the examination room, she went to Pingyang City in person.
Seeing Xi Cui's family, she roughly described Xi Cui's situation, Xi Cui's mother naturally didn't believe that her daughter would become like that, in order to understand the truth, their family of four followed the Liu family to the capital.
It took two days to go back and forth. (To be continued.) )
