Stigma (Yi Cong Yin)

Chapter 57: shame

Views:

After entering the city, Suixun asked the lieutenant to lead the army to rectify it, and he took a few personal guards and rode back to the Hou residence.

The peach trees outside Hou's residence had long since lost their dead leaves, and a row of paper-pasted red lanterns hung bare on the branches.

Suixun stopped the horse, glanced at the nondescript peach branch, and frowned.

Sui Yan was still sitting on the horse: "Brother?"

Sui Xun responded and reached out to hug Sui Yan from the horse.

Sui Xun and Sui Yan stood at the door waiting for Duan Mingchong. After a while, Sui Xun couldn't hold back and frowned, "What's on the tree? Did you let it go?"

Sui Yan said: "I made it myself and put it on, it looks very festive, does your brother like it?"

Suixun reprimanded: "It's nondescript, why don't you learn a little better and make all this mess?"

When Sui Yan heard this, he thought it would be bad, Sui Xun looked indifferent as ice, but when he was long-winded, he could compete with Jun Jingxing, he hurriedly said, "Brother, you shouldn't need to do this after the new year. Hurry back to the border? How long can you stay?"

Suixun was dissatisfied that he changed the subject, but still said: "This war can be safe for several years at the border, I may stay in the capital next year, and I won't go back to the border if there is nothing too urgent."

Sui Yan Yixi: "That couldn't be better!"

He was rejoicing when Suixun changed his words and said coldly, "So in the past three years, have you found a girl you like? I've given you so much grace, don't you say you don't want to start a family yet?"

Sui Yan froze and thought about Duan Mingchong before he reluctantly said, "I think so, but people don't look down on me."

Sui Xun originally thought that Sui Yan was used to playing around and didn't want to get married and bound him, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing, and he was immediately shocked.

He couldn't say anything: "What do you mean, which girl did you like, and you haven't captured her heart after chasing her for more than three years?"

Sui Yan lowered his head and muttered, "Well."

Sui Xun was completely shocked: "You have to have looks and identity, but which girl is that person who doesn't look down on you?"

What's wrong with Sui Yan, Sui Xun can say, but if others don't look down on his younger brother, Sui Xun will be angry and feel that the person is really blind.

Sui Yan said in a low voice, "My identity is more noble than mine, and I heard that they are going to get married."

As he spoke, he lowered his head, looking like he was hurt by love.

Sui Xun had never seen Sui Yan's appearance before, she was stunned for a long time before she said with difficulty, "Are you acting so out of tune that people think you are unreliable? Which girl is it? Tell me. ."

Sui Yan snorted: "I tell you what to do, don't you want to use a knife to hack people?"

Suixun shook his head: "No."

Sui Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Suixun said, "It's still possible to cut down the man who wants to marry her."

Sui Yan: "…"

Sui Yan lost his voice: "Brother!"

Suixun was actually just joking, he said, "I'm called elder brother—my younger brother is both talented and handsome, and he is still a marquis who was proclaimed by the emperor. There are so many ladies, why do you look down on the one who doesn't look down on you? Oh yes, another reason may be that you are notorious, and no one in Beijing looks down on you."

Sui Yan: "…"

For a while, Sui Yan didn't know whether Sui Xun was praising him a lot or hurting him a lot.

Sui Yan stomped his feet and said angrily, "Anyway, I don't want to talk about marriage now, so don't press me any more!"

Suixun said coldly, "Don't play with me! Don't you know how old you are now?"

Suiyan couldn't believe it: "I'm so hurt by love, you're still willing to let me talk about marriage at this juncture? Am I still your brother!?"

Suixun frowned: "Don't change the subject and talk nonsense, anyway, you..."

Before he finished threatening, Duan Mingchong's carriage arrived late and stopped abruptly at the Hou residence.

Suixun had no choice but to whisper, "I'll settle the account with you at night."

Sui Yan stared at him with red eyes.

Duan Mingchong got down from the carriage, caught a glimpse of the two brothers who were obviously different from just now, stunned for a moment, and said, "What's wrong?"

Sui Xun said: "It's nothing, I'm getting angry. Your Highness laughed."

Sui Yan was so angry that he tore off his cloak and threw it on Sui Xun, angrily said, "Get married, get married by yourself!"

Saying that, he walked away.

Duan Mingchong looked at Sui Yan and Noon with the same words and actions, a little embarrassed: "This..."

Is it because of the emperor's marriage, the two brothers didn't talk about it

Suiyan seems to... Really rely too much on Suixun, right? Are all the brothers in ordinary families like this

Sui Xun forced a smile, did not explain anything, and brought Duan Ming Chong into the house.

Sui Yan angrily returned to the side hospital, opened the door abruptly, and saw Jun Jingxing sitting on the side reading a medical book, with a few herbs on the table, as if he was identifying.

The anger on Sui Yan's face was extremely obvious, Jun Jing Xing hurriedly put the book on the table, and with a very familiar attitude, he put the medicine on the table into the box, lest Sui Yan would be displeased when he was angry, and he would throw off his medicine. turn.

He closed the box and said, "What's the matter? I wasn't happy when I went out just now. How can I be so angry now? Your brother didn't come back, so he lied to you again?"

Sui Yan endured his anger and said, "Can you imagine that not long after he came back, he even urged me to get married."

Jun Jingxing: "Oh, that's it, if it's a coincidence, you can get married on the same day as the crown prince."

Sui Yan: "Jun Jingxing!"

Only then did Jun Jingxing remember that Sui Yan had a crush on the Crown Prince, and hurriedly said, "I was wrong, I'm sorry."

Sui Yan just sat down.

Jun Jingxing saw that he was so angry that he was so virtuous, he lowered his eyebrows and poured tea for him, and persuaded: "Now that it has spread all over the streets and alleys, and the prince has reacted like that, you should probably..."

Sui Yan took a sip, and suddenly "bah": "It's too hot!"

Jun Jingxing had to re-brew.

"I heard someone talk about this today. It is said that the young lady has already made a decision, and is waiting for the will to come down and announce it to the world."

Sui Yan: "Bah! It's too cold! Make it again!"

Jun Jingxing: "… "

No matter how stupid Jun Jingxing was, he could see that he was looking for faults, he simply put the tea set on the table, took a deep breath and said, "Are you not sober now? I'm going to decoct you?"

Sui Yan was trembling with anger, and said with a crying voice: "One of them, standing and talking without back pain, one is dedicated to interjecting, and the other is also responsible for spreading salt next to them... They! They cooperated so well, why didn't they go? Kill a pig?!"

Although Jun Jingxing was dumbfounded by his words, his voice became hoarse, and he was at a loss: "Hey, hey, don't cry, what a big deal, you..."

Sui Yan glared at him: "I won't cry for those two stinky men, each of them is not a good thing! Crying for them is a waste of my tears."

Jun Jingxing: "… "

Jun Jingxing saw that he was so lively, so he had no choice but to swallow the comfort that had been brewed.

Sui Yan drank a cup of tea and said, "My brother... my brother too, how could he treat his own brother like this, and force me to get married before he came back for a long time? He doesn't have a young lady himself, why should he ask me?"

Jun Jingxing was afraid of hurting him, so he had to agree: "Yes yes yes."

"I've never received favor from my brother before, I just want to act like a spoiled brat and tell me what's wrong with my brother. Does he call me 'elder brother' for every word he says?"

Jun Jingxing: "Yes, yes."

Suiyan scolded: "Every one is a club!"

Jun Jingxing: "That's right, that's right."

Sui Yan glanced at him: "Don't agree too early, you are one of them."

Jun Jingxing: "… "

Jun Jingxing looked at him blankly, thinking that he was really wasting his feelings when he felt sorry for this kid.

Sui Yan took another sip of tea and said, "You just said that the crown princess has finalized the candidate. Which girl is she from?"

Jun Jingxing said: "I told you, you won't go to other people's door to find fault."

Suiyan said, "I'm not that ashamed, say."

Jun Jingxing said: "Second miss of Jiang Zhiyuan, Jiang Ning."

Sui Yan said "oh", took a sip of tea expressionlessly, and sat on the chair for a long time before he was caught off guard with a "wow", which made Jun Jingxing shiver.

Suiyan cried: "Jiang Ning is several years older than the crown prince, where is the right match? Could it be that Duan Ming Chong really likes someone older than him? I'm older than him, why doesn't he consider me?! "

Jun Jingxing saw that he seemed to be sick again: "Master Hou? How are you, Master Hou? Do you want to go to sleep for a while?"

Sui Yan was still talking nonsense, Jun Jingxing hurriedly persuaded him to get him to bed, fearing that his thoughts would be too heavy.

Sui Yan lay in the quilt, stared at him in a daze, and said hoarsely, "I want my brother."

Jun Jingxing helplessly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Master Hou, how old are you now? You are five years old and still arguing for your brother."

Sui Yan said: "I have never called their brother since I was a child."

Jun Jingxing was stunned for a moment.

Sui Yan murmured, "When I wanted to call, I found that they were gone."

Jun Jingxing didn't quite understand it, so he had to persuade him, "General Sui should have followed the prince to the palace to report his duties. I'll let him come to see you when I come back later, okay?"

Suiyan didn't know if he heard it, but he whispered: "I want to make up for everything I have before, why did he just refuse to let me call him brother?"

Not only this life, but also all the grudges of the previous life are all made up.

Sui Yan didn't have the temperament to be coquettish to anyone. Everything he developed in his last life depended on his own habits, and it was difficult to change it for a while.

After his rebirth, he only had two wishes. One was not to be as shrewd as he was in his previous life, and to stir up trouble in the turbulent waters of the Inheritance War. As long as he lived peacefully and smoothly, it was enough; Xun.

Suixun should have died in the fierce battle at the border with his eldest brother when he was ten years old, but for some reason, he narrowly escaped the disaster in this life.

Suiyan asked someone to investigate this matter three years ago, but the conclusion was only ambiguous: when the prince was assassinated at a young age, Sui Xun, who was just a lieutenant, was transferred by the emperor to the East Palace to guard, so he did not go through border crossings. The battle that was almost wiped out.

Anyway, Suixun's ability to live is the most fortunate and joyous thing since Sui Yan's rebirth.

He didn't want to ask any more questions, he just wanted to make up for his brother's warmth that he missed when he was young, but Suixun never let him get his wish.

The more Sui Yan thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Jun Jingxing said helplessly, "It's just a title, don't care so much."

Sui Yan took the words of Jun Jingxing before and scolded him: "You don't have a brother, you naturally don't understand me."

Jun Jingxing: "… "

Jun Jingxing had no choice but to say: "Okay, I don't understand you, but I know your body very well now. If you keep talking like this, you might be stunned. Go to sleep first, okay?"

Suiyan let out an "um" and lay down for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes again and said, "I want to go to my brother's room to sleep."

Jun Jingxing: "… "

The medical book that Jun Jingxing put in his hand was helpless: "Aren't you afraid that he will beat you out?"

He thought for a while, looked at Sui Yan with a sullen face, imitating Sui Xun's expression, and said in a low voice, "No big or small, what kind of decency!"

Sui Yan: "…"

Jun Jingxing: "Ah, I almost forgot."

He learned Suixun again, and said solemnly, "My brother."

Sui Yan couldn't hold back and kicked his foot.

Jun Jingxing thought that what he learned was quite similar: "Anyway, your brother is like this, very fierce, you better not toss."

Sui Yan let out an "um", and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He originally thought that it would be morning when he woke up again, but when he opened his eyes again, it seemed that it was still dark outside the window, and the candle on the small table by the bed was lit, slightly illuminating the figure sitting by the bed.

Sui Yan looked at him dazedly before saying, "Brother?"

Sui Xun sat beside his bed for an unknown time. Perhaps because of the candlelight, Sui Xun looked a little gentler than in the daytime. He stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat off Sui Yan's forehead and said, "It's a nightmare. ?"

Suiyan shook his head: "No, there are too many charcoal pots, it's a little hot."

Suixun frowned, got up and took out one of the charcoal basins in the house, turned it back, and said, "Okay, is it better now?"

Sui Yan nodded and said, "Is my brother coming back so late?"

Suixun: "Well, I'll see you, take a look and leave."

Sui Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab his sleeve and whispered, "Don't go so fast."

It was rare for Sui Xun to see such a pitiful and soft bastard in such a pitiful and soft manner. His cold eyes rarely flashed a smile, and he said softly, "Okay, I'll accompany you for a while."

He tucked Sui Yan's hand into the quilt, Sui Yan immediately grabbed his index finger to prevent him from leaving, and said, "Is there something important for the emperor to keep you so late?"

Sui Xun was a little uncomfortable with Sui Yan's dependence, so he frowned and pulled his hand back, but saw that Sui Yan's eyes instantly turned red.

Suixun: "You..."

Sui Yan hurriedly turned his head, took a few breaths in a low voice, then turned his head and forced a smile: "It's nothing, brother continue to say."

Sui Xun thought for a while, but still stretched his hand to the quilt, clasped Sui Yan's slender five fingers, and then said: "I said some things, and I also rewarded some precious novelties, you can go and have a look when you wake up tomorrow morning. If you like it, take it and play."

Sui Yan held Sui Xun's hand, and his eyes immediately curled up.

"okay."

Suixun looked into his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing."

Sui Yan: "Huh?"

Suixun suddenly didn't know whether to say it or not.

When he was in the palace, Duan Mingchong told him that Sui Yan suddenly had an abnormality after hearing that he was about to get married. He was worried that if he told him about his marriage, would he go crazy in the middle of the night

Sui Yan waited for a long time but did not wait, and scratched Suixun's palm: "Brother?"

Suixun thought about it for a while, but still told the truth: "I want to stay in Beijing for a year or two, the emperor probably thinks that you have grown up and you can't control it, so... he gave me a marriage, probably because he wanted to use a female family. to restrain me."

Sui Yan froze.

Suixun took a deep breath: "... The candidates have been selected. You should have seen Jiang Ning, the son and daughter of Chaojiang Zhiyuan, and the will should come down tomorrow."

Sui Yan: "…"

Suixun was afraid that he would be stimulated, so his voice was softer than ever before: "Forgetting to go home?"

Sui Yan shook off Sui Xun's hand and pulled the quilt up to cover his face, not wanting to see anyone.

Suixun was taken aback: "Forgot to go, are you alright?"

He didn't want to talk too much, for fear of irritating Sui Yan.

Sui Yan was under the quilt, her voice muffled and a little crying: "It's okay."

Suixun: "Then you..."

Suiyan collapsed and said, "I just want to kill that bastard Jun Jingxing."

Suixun: "..."

Sui Yan was about to cry, what was he doing for so many days

No wonder Duan Mingchong spoke very nicely to him. He was talking about the marriage between Suixun and Jiang Ning. Of course, that would be the best.

He recalled the words with Duan Mingchong that the donkey's lips were not the same as the horse's mouth, and then he scolded Duan Mingchong for no reason, and even lifted his teacup, he almost wanted to throw his head on the pillow and smash himself to death. .

At that time, Duan Mingchong wouldn't have thought that he was doing this nonsense for Suixun's sake

Will he think more of a mess

Or do you feel that you are too childish, and you don't even want your brother to get married and play such a big temper

Sui Yan was about to groan in shame. He wanted to kill himself, and also wanted to kill Jun Jingxing, who was spreading false news.

Sui Xun worried for a long time by the side, then Sui Yan pulled the quilt off and looked at him, sobbing: "Brother, will His Royal Highness come over tomorrow?"

Suixun didn't know why: "Xu will, I'm not sure, what's the matter? What's the matter with the prince?"

Sui Yan said, "No, nothing, I just feel that I have lived so many years in vain."

Twenty-three years in the past life, three years in this life, they have lived for twenty-six years in total, and he was so angry before he understood the truth of the matter, Sui Yan began to wonder if he forgot to bring his brain over when he was reborn. Well, that's what made such a stupid thing.

Sui Xun wanted to say something else, but Sui Yan turned over and didn't want to communicate any more, and was so sad that he was full of black anger: "Brother, go back, good night."

Seeing him, Sui Xun really couldn't think of it. He pondered whether he had made a mistake in bringing the child, and then he made Sui Yan look like a mad brother. He tucked the quilt for him, warned him a few words, and turned around and left. go out.

Sui Yan smashed his head on the pillow for a long time before falling asleep in a dizzy state.

Early the next morning, Jun Jingxing probably heard the rumor that he was afraid of being killed by Sui Yan, and ran away without waiting for Sui Yan to get up.

Sui Yan got out of bed, took a stick, rummaged through the whole yard with expressionless face, but could not find Jun Jingxing, so angry that he almost bit the stick.

Haitang was sweating with anxiety behind her: "Young master, Young Master Jun said something happened early in the morning and left the Hou residence early. You... What's the matter with you, you are so angry?"

Sui Yan was so angry that he couldn't breathe, and pointed at him with a stick: "Go and get him back for me! Immediately! Immediately! I will kill him!"

Haitang hurriedly ran away, and hurried to inform Jun Jingxing to let him stay outside for a few more days, so that his young master would really save his life.

Sui Yan angrily threw the stick aside and almost shattered a steel tooth.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the side.

"In this early morning, who provoked our Hou Yesheng so much?"

Sui Yan tilted his head and saw Duan Mingchong in a dark-patterned brocade robe.

Sui Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to run.

Duan Mingchong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took a few steps and grabbed him: "What are you running for? Could it be that I messed with you? I didn't mention anything this time."

Sui Yan's ears were so red that he almost dripped blood, he was ashamed to say a word, lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at him.

Duan Mingchong saw that he shrank his head like a quail, and laughed in a low voice, he stretched out his two hands and gently placed it by the side of Sui Yan's face, and held up his face gently.

What Sui Yan couldn't stand the most was Duan Mingchong's gentle movements, as if he was the jewel he valued the most, when he raised his head slightly following his movements without any resistance.

Duan Mingchong stared at his blushing cheeks and said with a soft smile, "Aren't you going to hide from me?"

Suiyan said: "His Royal Highness forgive me, I was too rude a few days ago."

Duan Mingchong couldn't help laughing: "It's good to know that it's wrong. I'll take it that I did something wrong to make you unhappy."

Sui Yan felt even more guilty: "How is that possible?"

Only then did Duan Mingchong let go: "Then I can rest assured."

As soon as Duan Mingchong put down his hand, Sui Yan suddenly felt a little cold on his cheeks. He was a little dizzy by Duan Mingchong's teasing, and he took the initiative to grab Duan Mingchong's hand and put it on his cheek, and said vaguely, "Let's, put it again. meeting."

Duan Mingchong: "…"
