Chapter 152 An Unconventional prohibited summit
* note going to brothels doesn’t always mean doing it; many times people are there to hang out with pretty girls with them pouring you alcohol and serving food, etc
“Second Junior Brother, have you come to visit Junior Sister again? You have come here quite often recently.” Su Wuduan leaned against the gate of Xiefang palace. He gave a mocking expression towards Yun Zhongyue.
Yun Zhongyue’s raised an eyebrow and greeted him with a smile: “Senior Brother has also come early in the morning to Xiefang palace, is Senior brother also visiting Junior Sister? If so, let’s go together.”
Saying this, Yun Zhongyue wanted to go inside, but was stopped by Su Wuduan.
“What’s the matter Senior Brother?”
Su Wuduan glanced at Yun Zhongyue, and smiled: “Second Junior brother, it’s not Senior Brother saying this, but our Junior Sister is very beautiful and has a good character, but no matter what she is a married woman. Even if you like her, you have to worry about the status of our Junior Sister. Although we have a sect relations.h.i.+p with Junior Sister, in the end, men and women should not casually hang out together. Even if you and Junior Sister are innocent, in the eyes of outsiders who don’t know anything, especially in the eyes of our Junior Sister’s husband, it would not be good.”
The more Yun Zhongyue listened to Su Wuduan’s insinuations, his face became dark and ironic. “Senior Brother, what you said is wrong. I am not the only one who runs to this palace these days. Some people have been running over here all the time, for nearly half a year, yet no one has mentioned anything, so why is it that when I come here for a few days that I would become a target for gossip?”
There was a moment of embarra.s.sment on Su Wuduan’s face. He coughed slightly: “How can Senior Brother be compared with you? I am running here for your future sister-in-law, what are you doing all this time?”
“Senior Brother is running here for future sister-in-law? Of course, Junior Brother is also running here for Senior brother’s future sister-in-law. You and I are using different means to arrive at the same destination. There is not much difference.”
“!” The characters of “using different means to arrive at the same destination” stimulated Su Wuduan. The alarm bell in Su Wuduan’s heart rang frantically. His face became very ugly: “Junior Brother, the future sister-in-law that Senior brother is speaking about is not Junior Sister, but a maid next to Junior Sister.”
Yun Zhongyue narrowed his eyes and smiled: “What a coincidence, the future younger sister-in-law Junior Brother’s mouth is mentioning is also a maid next to Junior Sister. Oh, no, she should be called a senior maid.”
“!” Senior maid, Su Wuduan was alert. His wife was the senior maid next to Xia Yuqing. Moreover, she was very outstanding. Not only was she born pretty and intelligent, she could also be presented to the public and able to cook. Able to protect herself and be brought to the bed, she was so perfect, she couldn’t be anymore perfect. Isn’t it natural for men next to her to be attracted to her?
No, that wife is his, he must not let others take her away, especially not his little Junior Brother in front of him who has always been unpleasant. It is simply unbearable for his wife to become his Junior Brother’s wife!
“Well, Junior Brother, Senior Brother treats you quite well usually. Before when Senior Brother would loiter with flowers (pretty girls) and always be in a drunken stupor, you used to persuade Senior Brother to wake up. Now, Senior Brother has finally found someone. As brothers of the same teacher, we are closer than ordinary brothers, so at this time, shouldn’t you help Senior brother out and give in?”
The implication was that they were brothers of this life and not the next life (yolo), at this time, it’s fine if you don’t help your brother, but if you dare to stab your brother in the back and steal the girl, that would not be tolerable!
Oh, trying to worm their way into being friends? Yun Zhongyue could hear the threat in Su Wuduan’s words. His eyes narrowed, and a deep thought quickly pa.s.sed through his eyes.
Is it possible that Senior brother also fell in love with the girl next to Junior sister too? It makes sense. After taking a closer look at that girl, she looked quite good. Although she was not a devastating beauty, at any rate, she was still a delicate, pretty person, someone that is Senior Brother’s type. The most important thing is that the girl has great cooking skills that is admired by famous chefs all over the world. He has traveled to so many places, yet he hasn’t met a greater chef than her. (OMGGGG FINALLY SOMEONE FOR WHO I THINK IT’S FOR )
Isn’t there an old saying: if you want to grab a man’s heart, you must first grab the man’s stomach. That was how the girl did it. She grabbed his stomach and now his heart. It’s probably the same case for Senior Brother. Senior Brother is giving warnings to himself, so is it possible… Senior Brother also fell in love with that girl?
Our predecessors told us that as long as one liked someone, they would appear beautiful. Thus because of those two pairs of eyes, the two were destined to encounter a tragedy.
The more Yun Zhongyue thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. His face shrank, and he immediately laughed: “Senior Brother, there is another saying, that love between men and women only works if both sides are willing. Both the man and woman must be interested in each other. If Senior Brother wants to s.n.a.t.c.h the girl’s heart, then you will have to count on your own ability. Junior brother won’t and can’t help Senior.”
“…” Is this kid blatantly rejecting him? Moreover, was he ridiculing himself that it was just simply wishful thinking?
Recalling his wife’s indifferent att.i.tude towards himself, is it possible that his wife doesn’t like elegant charming men like himself, but weak fragile men like Second Brother?
Also what does Second Brother mean by his last sentence? Is he provoking him? It must be, he is provoking him and wants to compete with him for a wife with his own ability? !
Thinking of this, Su Wuduan felt a little green (jealous) for the first time in his life. No way! His head can be broken, the blood can flow, but his wife cannot be taken away!
“Junior Brother, there is something called first come first serve. Inserting a foot after and doing all that you can is not the work of a righteous man!”
Yun Zhongyue became more startled, then he suddenly laughed. He leaned forward with a smile, his face flushed as if he heard the world’s funniest joke: “Righteous man? Senior Brother, have you forgotten? Your Second Junior Brother is not a righteous man. Besides, I don’t know what’s first come first serve. I only know that the upcoming generation outstrips the older generation. Wandering in this palace for so long and not being able to take down that girl, it shows that you have no destiny with her. If so, don’t blame me for interfering. To be quite honest, Senior Brother, staying here in the palace for a while, Junior Brother had already been fed by the food that girl made. Now if I eat anything that doesn’t taste like hers, I would always find it hard to swallow. Without her, Junior Brother might not be able to live, so……”
The more Yun Zhong Yue looked at Su Wuduan, the more his expression distorted. He smiled: “Senior Brother, I just want to marry that girl home to wash and cook for me, to warm the bed and give birth to my baby. Senior Brother, if you also love her, you and I should compete fairly, Junior Brother will be willing to accompany you. However, if you want to have your Junior Brother give up without saying anything, then I can only say sorry, that’s impossible!”
“!” This stinking fool wants to rebel? How dare he even try to show off his power so arrogantly and personally attack him! Even if his dad can tolerate it, his son cannot! A brother is like one’s hands and feet, and a wife is like one’s head. The hands and feet can be cut off, but the head cannot. Daring to s.n.a.t.c.h my wife is like killing my parents, we cannot live under the same sky. Even if we are brothers, there is no discussion. Moreover, the most unforgivable thing is…
I have been with my wife for so long, but my wife hasn’t even cooked once for me. Yet, this kid… this is a matter of a man’s dignity. If he can still bear this, can he be considered a man? !
“Hmph, I’m not going to speak nonsense with you. Old rules, this Laozi is in a bad mood from looking at you. If you dare, come meet me at the roof.”
Yun Zhongyue let out a disdained hmph: “Why won’t I come? Do you think I’m afraid of you?”
“Oh no, oh no, Niang Niang, it’s not good.” Xia Yuqing was just carrying the two steamed buns out of bed and was having breakfast with the two children, when she suddenly saw a little maid rus.h.i.+ng over in a hurry from outside.
“Ying Er, what are you shouting about so early in the morning? Don’t you see that Niang Naing and the little prince and princess are having breakfast?” Lu Rui was laying the dishes out when she heard the little maid yelling.
“Niang Niang, please forgive me. Niang Niang, please forgive my sins. Nu Bi did not do it intentionally.” Ying Er also noticed her gaffe, and hurriedly knelt down.
“It’s all right, get up, don’t panic. Don’t get down on your knees during winter.” Xia Yuqing held a meat bun in her mouth and looked at the marble floor under Ying Er’s knee. She couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver for her.
“Niang Niang, you are too used to these girls. Look at how crazy they are now. Just two days ago, another girl climbed up a tree in the yard and took out a bird’s egg and broke her leg coming down..
Seeing that Lu Rui was about to turn on her Tang Seng mode (the monk who journeys to the west and often gives lessons to the monkey king), Xia Yuqing quickly swallowed the meat bun in her mouth and interrupted her long talk: “There are bird eggs on the trees in the yard? Hurry up, let Xiao Anzi and the others take people there and bring them down. I’m going to eat hard-boiled bird eggs this evening!”
“…” Niang Niang, this is not the point!
“Gege…” When the second baby heard Xia Yuqing wanting to eat bird eggs, she clapped her hands with joy. She chuckled and her little white teeth were revealed in her giggling mouth. It was so cute.
Xia Yuqing couldn’t help but lean forward when she saw this. She nibbled on the little cheek of the second baby, and said admiringly: “Dun Dun, you think this proposal is not bad too? Your mother will let people go dig out the bird eggs this evening, so I can reward you with a treat.”
“Oh oh oh…” The second baby seemed to understand and waved her little hand joyfully, very excited.
“…” Niang Niang, the little princess is still young and can’t eat bird eggs.
Seeing this, the big baby already started to bite his spoon silently. He couldn’t help but reward Xia Yuqing with a big roll of his eyes. His good-for-nothing Mother is really a good-for-nothing Mother, she only wants to eat all the time. But my sister is too small, she should eat more.
If Xia Yuqing knew what her big baby was thinking, she would definitely hang him upside down and spank him for being so biased!
“Pu……” Cui Er on the side couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at Lu Rui’s silent appearance and smiled: “Okay, Lu Rui, don’t be too serious. Don’t forget that when Niang Niang first entered the palace, you were not much worse than Ying Er.”
“Yes, yes, Lu Rui, you are allowing the officials to set things on fire while you won’t let civilians light the light (powerful people can do whatever they want, while ordinary people are restricted to legitimate activities).”
“…” I… I’m speechless!
“Speaking of, Lu Rui, you used to be so innocent and cute, why are you more and more like an old housekeeper now? Be careful you can’t get married!”
“…” Who do you think I became like this for?!
Lu Rui’s face turned blue and white, then white and blue. She finally spat out: “I don’t need Niang Niang to worry about this matter. Nu Bi had already long prepared to live out my days in the palace as soon I entered and have no plans of marrying.”
“Lu Rui, what you said is wrong. Look at Xiao Yuan, Cui Er, and Yun Xi. Although they are not married yet, they all have a person. If you don’t hurry up, it will really become true and you will become an old aunt. Nowadays, leftover women aren’t like house pricing where they can increase in value on the spot. The older you are, the less valuable you will be.”
“…” Niang Niang, are you treating Nu Bi as an object to be sold off?
“Ahem, okay stop playing.” Cui Er seeing Lu Rui’s little face redden and on the verge of an outbreak, she opened her mouth to smooth things over, “Let’s hear what Ying Er was making a big deal out of.”
With Cui Er’s reminder, Ying Er suddenly remembered her intentions and said anxiously: “Replying to Niang Niang, it’s not good, Master Su and Master Yun are fighting in front of our palace.”
“… Master Su and Master Yun?” Xia Yuqing was stunned. In a moment, she woke up and said in amazement, “Senior Brother and Second Brother are fighting? Quick, hurry up, let’s go take a look.”
Xia Yuqing picked up second baby in one hand, and big baby in the other, and rushed out. Several people hurriedly followed after seeing this.
On the towering roof of Xiefang palace, two figures, one black and one white, stood at the ends of the roof. They looked at each other from across the long roof. The morning breeze blew on the hems of the two people’s clothes causing them to flutter in the wind like a fairy. The young man in white was holding a cyan long sword that was transformed from a jade flute. The sword body was dazzling, and even the person holding the sword seemed to be bursting with life. The black-clothed boy was holding a glittering silver chain whip, which was carved with various ornate patterns. This made the weapon holder appear a bit coquettish.
The sun rising slowly behind the roof looked as if it was a beautiful big cloud dish hanging in the middle of the two of them. The sunlight s.h.i.+ning from the rear cast itself on the two of them, as if it was adding a layer of gold on the both of them. With this layer of golden light, the two of them appeared more and more outstanding.
Xia Yuqing just rushed out from inside and saw such a picture. Her jaw dropped and froze in place: “Oh, my G.o.d! So cool, this is like transmigrating to see Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue!” (From Lu Xiaofeng Series, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng , the two most powerful swordsmen in jianghu, arranged for a duel to the death at a rooftop)
Hey, the two upstairs, did you run to the wrong theater? This is not the top of the Forbidden City! Why are you acting so cool and wanting to fight to the death? Since you’re from the same sect, why make it so hard on yourselves?
“Niang Niang…” Lu Rui quickly followed, and was shocked when she saw the scene on the roof. “Niang Niang, what should we do now?”
Xia Yuqing held two steamed buns with a solemn expression. After pondering for a moment, under the gaze of everyone’s expectation, she whispered: “Go get the chair and table out first.”
“Oh, huh?” Shouldn’t they be persuading them at this time? What do you need a table and chair for?
“Niang Niang, why do you need a chair?” Is it possible that Niang Niang wants to go to battle in person and climb up to the roof to persuade them? But shouldn’t she move a whole stack of them if she wants to go on the roof?
Xia Yuqing turned her head and glanced at Lu Rui and Ying Er who were inquiring, and sighed helplessly: “After following me for so long, why don’t you understand my thoughts at all? Of course it is for convenience to watch the show.”
“Watch… watch the show?” Shouldn’t we persuade them not to fight at this time? Niang Niang, should you regard the fight between your two seniors as a good show? Is this really good? Look at that s.h.i.+ny silver weapon, it’s real, it will kill someone if they are not careful!
“Of course it’s for watching the show, go quick.” It doesn’t matter whether they went to the wrong set or not, it was Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng! Ah, no, it’s my Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother. At first glance, she could tell she shouldn’t provoke them. She was just a small girl with delicate skin and tender flesh. If she tried to persuade them, the sword is eyeless, and she might get chopped! Moreover, this kind of action movie, is only available in 3D theaters in the past for her. Yet this time, she can see something better than 3D movies without buying a ticket. She would be a fool to not watch it!
So, half a quarter of an hour later, when the people on the roof were still fighting, they didn’t realize that some people had already set up tables and chairs and started eating melon seeds to watch the show.
“Why haven’t they started yet? They’ve been looking at each other for quite a long time. It shouldn’t be some out-of-the-body fighting experience right?” Xia Yuqing ate a melon seed and dropped the melon seed husk on the ground, a little impatient.
The two little buns sat next to Xia Yuqing in a special rocking chair she had someone design and also yawned sleepily. Then she heard a girl on the side whispering: “Moving, Niang Niang, the two Gong Zi’s are moving.”
Xia Yuqing was shocked and leaned forward, her eyes s.h.i.+mmering as she stared at the two of them finally moving.
