109, the shadow of the elder brother
Xi Yanyu returned home, looking at his beloved mother with a stomach, the woman's face was soft, standing at the door waiting for him, he couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart, and stepped forward to hold her hand.
"Ai Niang."
There was already emotion in his eyes, and his mother held his hand and nodded shyly: "The doctor came to check the pulse today, and said that the fetus is stable, husband, it's okay." ”
Ai Niang's words gave Xi Yanyu a signal, he pulled people into the room, but he didn't see Ai Niang's cold eyes.
She knew where Xi Yanyu had gone all this time, but in her heart, the child in her belly was the most important, so she turned a blind eye.
But for a man like this, you still have to give him a little sweet date to eat, otherwise he will be hooked away, and it will be useless even if he guards the child.
Ai Niang was born in a thin horse, and she is naturally good at working hard in bed, even better than the sisters in Hualou, Xi Yanyu, who is waiting, is physically and mentally comfortable, and her disgust with her has disappeared.
The two of them were so unhappy that the clouds and rain were overturning, but in the courtyard in the remote corner of Xi's mansion, the young man sitting in front of the case was writing with a pen, Xi Yuwen heard a thunderclap outside, stopped writing and stood up.
He was very thin, leaning against the door, a cold wind blew, burrowed into his sleeve, he coughed softly and closed the door, and before he could think of it, the hilt of his sword was inserted into the crack of the door, stopping him from moving.
"Who?"
Xi Yuwen was a little nervous, only to see a young man push open the door and walk in: "Second son." ”
Guo Lun's tone was very sincere, and this long-lost honorific title made Xi Yuwen smile a little bitterly: "Your Excellency is here, why are you here?" ”
He is just a long-forgotten concubine of the Xi family, who has been trapped in this corner for many years, with no money and no power, this person comes to him, it can't be because he has what he wants.
"Help you."
Guo Lun took back the sword, walked in with the sword in both hands, looked at the simple room, and wanted to sigh twice, but in order to maintain his cold appearance in front of outsiders, he still held back.
"What do you want to help me, I don't have anything in return."
Xi Yuwen only thought that this person was here to ridicule himself, so naturally he didn't take Guo Lun's words to heart, but followed his words.
"Second son, I can help you take down the Xi family, but the condition is that the Xi family must kick Xi Yanyu out."
Guo Lun sat on the chair and slowly spit out a sentence, which made Xi Yuwen, who was just about to sit down, stand up straight and look at him: "Who are you?!" Why? ”
What shocked him was not his words, but that he wanted him to kick Xi Yanyu home, which was a fantasy for him.
Xi Hui only has such a son-in-law, since Xi Yanyu was born, the food and clothing are all good, let the Xi family kick Xi Yanyu out, you have to ask Xi Huitong if he agrees.
Guo Lun stretched out his hand and took off the token, the three words on it made Xi Yuwen's eyes widen, he was about to speak, but he saw Guo Lun sigh: "Second son, it is difficult to want Xi Hui to give up Xi Yanyu, but what if there is someone better than him?" ”
"I know that the article that Xi Yanyu entered the White Deer Academy exam was written by you, Xi Hui bought the official who wrote the question and brought the question, Xi Yanyu relied on your article to enter the White Deer Academy and enjoy all the good reputation, but all this should have belonged to you."
"For so many years, his articles, his poems, and his schoolwork are all done by you for him, and he is holding these things to become a good person, second son, are you really willing to be his shadow for the rest of your life?"
Xi Yuwen listened to Guo Lun's words, looked at the half-written articles on his desk, he was right, all of Xi Yanyu's articles were from him.
The articles that entered the White Deer Academy, the poems and songs at the poetry conference, and the schoolwork of the White Deer Academy, as well as the articles that Xi Yanyu used to gain fame, and even this autumn, Xi Hui wanted him to take the exam for him.
If it weren't for Xi Yanyu's removal from Bailu Academy, he would really always be the shadow living behind Xi Yanyu.
His aunt died early and grew up beside Mrs. Xi since she was a child, and Mrs. Xi didn't like concubines, so she didn't treat him well, and starvation and freezing were common things.
Later, as he and Xi Yanyu grew older, Mrs. Xi knew that he wrote well, so she coerced and lured him to fake Xi Yanyu, and in order to survive, he did it all one by one.
No one knows that there is another him in the corner of Xi Mansion, and he is like a shadow destined to live in the shadows and live for Xi Yanyu all his life.
When Guo Lun saw his clenched fists, he knew that the fire had been set in place: "Second son, my grandfather wants to support his own strength, Xi Hui is too cunning, Xi Yanyu is too stupid, but the second son is different." ”
"You are very smart, if you are willing to cooperate with Hou Ye, then Hou Ye will naturally help you become the best person in the Xi family."
Xi Yuwen is smart, but not ruthless, but his own father said that as long as he sprinkles a bait, he will definitely be fooled.
Besides, Xi Yuwen's ability is not very weak, if he can really sit in Xi Hui's current position through the scientific examination, then they can be regarded as having their own people in the Ministry of Rites.
The six departments are now intertwined, and the lord also wants to help His Highness support more real people, those old ministers are too cunning, and they are all like foxes.
"What do you need me to do?"
After being silent for a long time, Xi Yuwen looked up at Guo Lun, he was right, he was indeed unwilling to be Xi Yanyu's shadow for the rest of his life, the life and fame and fortune that Xi Yanyu enjoyed, all this should have been his.
But he took his things, but still let him live the life he has now, how could he be willing, how could he be willing?
The corners of Guo Lun's lips were hooked, and the master really expected things to be like a god, he put a letter on the table, and there was a bag of silver pressed on the letter: "Second son, what you need to do is written on the letter, it's cold, let's add a piece of clothing." ”
After finishing speaking, he walked out, and his figure quickly disappeared into Xi Yuwen's courtyard.
Xi Yuwen stepped forward and looked at the bag of silver, and for some reason there was a bitterness in his heart, his family had never said it to him once, it was cold and clothes, although he knew that Changping Hou was also using himself, but he let himself be used willingly.
"Shadows will always follow people, but brother, I'm not really a shadow."
He is a person, a living person, a person who can laugh, make trouble, and have emotions, and they want him to do things for Xi Yanyu, but they still let him live the last days, which is really unfair.
Xi Yuwen reached out and took the letter, but the above things made him a little untenable, his mother was strangled to death by Mrs. Xi back then? !
