Xu Xintai still lives in the courtyard where he has lived since he was a child, and it is not like the lords of other mansions who will move to the main courtyard. This courtyard, Xinyue still has some impressions, she stretched out her hand, touched the pillar next to the courtyard gate, the paint on this pillar was built by her father himself.

"Madame, what are you doing?" Feng'er found that Xinyue had stopped, and Xinyue looked at her, sweating, "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”

"Besides, don't dare to hide it from Mrs. anymore, the slave maid has someone she knows, who is a soldier in General Xu's army, although she is just a nobody, but, but occasionally seen..."

Xinyue and Fei'er, who was smiling, glanced at each other and said, "Fei'er, I'll let you follow me in today and see the jackals, tigers and leopards in Feng'er's eyes." ”

"Yes" As soon as Fei'er heard that she was going to go in, she was also so frightened that she lost her soul, but she also followed behind Xinyue, Xinyue stepped into the door, and Feng'er also followed, "Madam, I'll go too, let's say okay, Hou Ye beats you, and you run." ”

"Let's go" said that, the three masters and servants walked into Xu Xintai's courtyard.

Xu Xintai's yard is also decent, outside the three big houses, there is no partial house and ear room, a large courtyard is vacated, the yard is paved with non-slip and wear-resistant stone slabs, and various weapons are displayed on the shelves on one side, Xu Xintai is practicing martial arts in this courtyard.

Xu Xintai's little servant was standing at the door, and when he saw Xinyue coming in, he hurriedly ran over, "Miss, you are here, Master Hou is waiting, he is a little anxious." ”

"Hong Ke, it's just you, and you'll call me Miss." Qiao Ke is also a man of Zhangba, and his fists are bigger than Xinyue's face when he practices kung fu.

Such a tall man stood on the side, frightened Fei'er, who had seen her for the first time, and ducked behind the crescent moon.

"One report..."

"What's the report, is there any place in this courtyard that you can't enter?" A deep voice came from the room, and the frightened "ah" sounded.

"I'll go in, Hong Ke, you go and let your brother's maid come, take the two of them down, and give them some fruit to eat."

"Yes," Hong Ke stretched out his hand and said to Fei'er Fei'er, "Two girls, please." ”

The two girls turned around and walked away step by step, and Xinyue also lifted her breath and walked inside, "Oops"

"I'll tell you, think about things before you go." Xu Xintai was sitting under the main hall drinking tea, when he heard the sound of the crescent moon falling outside the door, and when he went out to see, the crescent moon really fell to the ground and fell on the steps.

Xu Xintai was condescending, frowning, and couldn't help but stab Xinyue and said, "This dog eats, and he can step on the ground on all fours, why did you fall over?" ”

"In this world, when I saw my sister fall and didn't help me up, I also said that my sister was like a brother who eats, and there is only one person."

"I mean, you're better off eating." Xu Xintai wanted to turn around and leave, but when he saw the injury on Xinyue's forehead, he still squatted down, but instead of reaching out to help Xinyue, Xinyue stretched out his hand and climbed his leg and got up by himself.

"Are you alright?" Seeing Xinyue stand up, Xu Xintai immediately stood up, and he no longer looked at Xinyue.

"I'm used to falling, it's okay" When I was young, every time Xinyue fell, Xu Xintai was like this, never helping her.

The two brothers and sisters met for the first time in half a year, and for Xinyue, it took even longer, Xinyue looked up and looked at Xu Xintai, who was slender and standing sideways, he really, the longer he grew, the more like his father.

Xinyue walked up the steps and gave Xu Xintai a salute with her hands, "Say hello to my brother." ”

"All the way, okay?" The brother and sister are too rusty, and Xu Xintai has always been cold and hard, and it is also his limit to be able to say such polite greetings.

"Big brother, you have been waiting for me here for a long time, you probably don't want to ask me if this journey has been smooth."

There are no male guests outside today, and if Xu Xintai hadn't waited for the new moon, he would have gone out on official business a long time ago.

"You didn't come to see me, you didn't say hello to me. Come in, the tea is going to be cold. With that, Xu Xintai turned around and went in.

The tea is Tieguanyin, the orchid fragrance is rich, and it is really brewed in a cup of orchids.

The furnishings in the house were as old as before, and even the cushions on the chairs were half-worn and a little dirty. It's not that Cao's sister-in-law is not dedicated, but Xu Xintai doesn't say anything about changing, I'm afraid that no one dares to move the things in this house.

Xu Xintai sat on one side, his back straight, his face expressionless, and his deep eyes were not angry and arrogant.

Xinyue sat next to Xu Xintai, the two were extremely similar, both looked like their fathers, "Say, what does the letter mean?" ”

Xinyue didn't speak directly, but reached out to untie the forehead strap on her head, originally only saw a little trace of the scar at the end of the eyebrows, Xu Xintai fixed his eyes, this scar started from the end of the eyebrows, and went deep into her sideburns, the deepest part, the black hair could not cover "Brother, I, am not a person who loves to cry and sell crazy." But if you look at this scar on my forehead, I can't live with the little prince of the Yu family for another day. He pushed me off the bridge, I fainted for nearly a cup of tea, and no one cared whether I lived or died, and no one from that palace put me in his eyes, if my brother didn't allow it, goodbye, I'm afraid it was you and me, my parents' knees. ”

"You said you weren't crazy, but now you're really crazy." Xu Xintai saw that she didn't cry, but her tears were like beads with broken threads, and they didn't stop for a moment.

"Brother, I can only say this to you. You're the last person I'll ever ask for. First, I went to see my husband, and he was full of promises, but he didn't count with King Yu. I went to ask King Yu, King Yu said I am the King of Yu, put it in front, for the emperor and the queen mother, I am the life talisman of the King of Yu, how can he let me go. I went back to Jinling to ask the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother said..."

"What did the Queen Mother say?" Xu Xintai asked and answered, "The Queen Mother said that you are also placed in the palace of King Yu by His Majesty, a piece to stabilize King Yu, and although it is not in the hands of King Yu, it is still under the brand that he sent 300,000 troops to the north, and it is also a stable talisman for His Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”

"Yes, that's what the Queen Mother said." Xinyue lowered her shoulders, as if she had lost her soul, the reason why the Queen Mother was so angry that day was not because Xinyue said disrespectful words to her mother, but because she accused Xinyue of being ignorant and not understanding His Majesty's checks and balances.

"So, do you want me to help you?" Xu Xintai picked up the tea, but didn't drink it, looking at the curling heat, he said a little distractedly, "Over the years, you have been ignorant and ignorant under your aunt's wings, so let you see the ruthlessness and righteousness of this world, Xinyue, this is also a lesson for you." ”

"Then, only..."Xu Xintai raised his eyes, and saw that Xinyue's eyes sank, as if he had made up some determination, he could probably guess it, and interrupted her words, "What did Your Majesty say?" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can say that it is okay to reconcile, and you want me to remarry."

"Again, remarry? You are a high-ranking marquis, and the word remarriage blurted out, do you really think that I dare not kill your family style with one sword? As soon as Xinyue's words fell, tears flowed out again, and Xu Xintai was a little confused by crying, and slapped the table.

"It's not what I said, it's Your Majesty. I was born in April, on the day of Gu Yu. The last time Gu Yu was in April, it was nearly a hundred years ago. On that day, the stars of the Big Dipper, the bucket handle stretched eastward, and the world was spring. Yu He National Teacher, I am the queen's fate. Queen, if you marry into the family of a prince with a heavy army, how do you feel if you believe in your majesty? Xinyue lowered her head, looked at the patterns on her robe, and told Xu Xintai everything she knew.

"When you were ten years old, you fell into the water and were dragged away by the underwater soul, and the queen's life was broken early." Xu Xintai also knew, and he never believed in this kind of thing.

"That's what the national teacher said. Brother, if you don't help me, I'll have the only way to go. The crown princess can't have children, if she marries me again, she will be a side concubine. Our Xu family, if it is really as you wish, will show the glory of grandfather and father again. This is the decision that Crescent Moon thinks that she will not be as weak as her mother, looking for short-sightedness.

Remarrying the prince, he will shirk some time, it won't take two years, the prince, there will be no prince in this world.

"You don't let the original wife do it, and make the side concubine a concubine, can you say this?"

"If you don't help me, there's nothing I can do. Brother, I just said, you are me, and I want the last person. If I can't ask you, then I'll come myself. Fame? I can't live my life, what more reputation do I need? Xu Xintai, you, how can you treat me like this, do you think that I am at my aunt's place, and the days under the fence are more comfortable than yours? It was you, who thought I was troublesome and didn't want to protect me, so you sent me to my aunt, have you forgotten? I am now like a chess piece, being manipulated and placed, who gave it to me? Xinyue dropped the cup, and the best Tieguanyin, she didn't drink it in a sip.

"Can you live a stable life in this Hou Mansion? How many white eyes and ridicule I have endured over the years is not enough, let you say a word about me, and arrange it for you? ”

"I'd rather follow you and be looked down upon. Brother, these white eyes are what you think, yes, we are nothing in front of the government, but you, I am Your Majesty's niece and nephew, if you don't humiliate yourself, who would dare? ”

"Who dares? Aren't you also being bullied and crying here? ”

Xinyue was so angry that she lost her strength, but laughed instead, "We are not like a pair of brothers and sisters, but two enemies, exposing each other's shortcomings and scolding the street here." ”

"You brought it on yourself." Xu Xintai coldly placed the teacup on the table on the side.

The two were silent for a long time, and Xinyue felt that her eyes were dry, so she stopped crying, and said in a dumb voice, "Big brother, you say, if one day, I am the princess of King Yu, but I am reported to be crazy, will you come to see me?" ”

"You're crazy, what am I going to do? See you can't help yourself? ”

"I still have a little bit of hope, yes, I'm crazy, useless, useless, useless, what are you still coming to see me for." As she spoke, Crescent Moon stood up, and the forehead band in her hand fell to the ground, and walked out.

"What are you going to do like this?" Xu Xintai knew that there was a banquet for female guests outside, Xinyue's eyes were red and swollen from crying, her hair was a little messy, and she was depressed, and as soon as she went out, she would be criticized.

"While I'm still useful, even if it's with the tiger, I'm going to break free." As he spoke, Xinyue walked out and was grabbed by Xu Xintai, who felt Xu Xintai's strong hand and grabbed her wrist.

His hands were hot, and the two looked at each other, almost identical eyes, one as cold as ice, the other as a pool of stagnant water.

Crescent Moon frowned, wanting to shake off his hand, but couldn't. I had to grit my teeth, hugged Xu Xintai, hugged him and cried bitterly.

The two brothers and sisters, since they were children, have never been so close, let alone hugging and crying, just now, Xu Xinkang refused to even help her.

Xu Xintai's hands were warm in his arms, but the whole person was as stiff as a piece of ice, but the tears of the new moon soaked his clothes, which were the tears of his sister who were connected to his blood. Xu Xintai remembered that when he was a child, he saw the toddler Xinyue, he was four years older than Xinyue, when he remembered, Xinyue was just learning to walk, she fell, and her mother went to help her, but her face was full of tears, stretched out her hand, and wanted to hold her by herself. Maybe Xinyue doesn't remember, but Xu Xinkang remembers it clearly, the Xinyue that day was lying on his shoulder like this, crying so much that tears soaked his clothes, and he was like now, in chaos.

"Let go of me" is chaotic, which does not mean that he has softened his heart, but reached out and threw the new moon out of his arms first.

Xinyue tried her best, and Xu Xinkang couldn't really beat her, and Xu Xintai was really uncomfortable with this Xu Xintai than putting him on a flail.

Xu Xinkang is angry, Xinyue knows that the estrangement between the two has existed since the death of their parents, and Xu Xinkang's heart has long been unable to open to Xinyue.

"When I came, I touched the pillar at the entrance of your courtyard, and my only impression of my father was that I was lying on him, and he was painting the pillar, and he said, when you grow up, you will be the pillar of this Anxuanhou Mansion in the future, so you must paint a pillar that can stand up to the sky and the earth, so that you can shelter me from the wind and rain. He said, you can shelter me from the wind and rain, brother, I asked you this sentence, and you only answered me this sentence, can you shelter me from the wind and rain? ”

Xu Xintai didn't answer, and Xinyue didn't have an answer in her heart, but Xinyue let go of him, stretched out her hand, stripped her hair, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and turned around before going out.

Out of the door, Xinyue stood on the steps and looked out, Xu Xinkang chased him out, but saw that Xinyue didn't go far, he almost couldn't stop for a while, and he spoke to Xinyue with a slurred "I..."

Xinyue turned around and looked at Xu Xinkang, Xu Xinkang saw that she was godless at the moment, and there was no longer the color of the wings just now, a trace of distress flashed in his heart for the first time, and he actually explained a little stumblingly, "I, I haven't answered yet." I, I don't have an answer right now. ”

"The young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow, falls in love with the floor, and says sorrow for the new word. Now I know all the sorrows, and I want to talk about it, but I say that the weather is cool and autumn.

At this time, when I read this "Ugly Slave", it is more appropriate than the bleak autumn day. You and I am young and ignorant, and I am gone. Saying that, Xinyue didn't stay any longer, and strode out of Xu Xintai's courtyard, leaving him alone to look at Xinyue's back, standing for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
