26 Uncle's Love
◎Wei Qing: Silent but profound.◎
On the day of Qixi Festival, Huo Yan was going to rehearse the first act of "The Monkey King", "The Birth of the Monkey King", in the theater he had built next to the toy house.
Huo Qubing was the happiest.
After all, he is a big fan of Monkey.
He even suggested that he investigate the person Huo Yan had found to play the Monkey King.
Huo Yan was so busy with other things that he was exhausted. Although the script was ready and the lines were decided, Zhuo Wenjun and her team had already finished the costumes, jewelry and makeup.
But just composing the music alone required Sima Xiangru, Zhuo Wenjun, and Dongfang Shuo to jockey for position in front of him for eight hundred rounds, like five hundred ducks. Not to mention the pre-production preparations, the stage design, the positioning of the personnel, the presentation, and the extras, hundreds of people pulled from the crowd, all of which he had to personally review. In a moment, he was like Huo Qubing.
Unexpectedly, Huo Qubing went straight to Liu Che and hired the best monkey performer in the troupe. He also tricked Liu Che into inviting the Yuefu musicians who played instruments for the palace.
Huo Yan was originally in a losing business staging a play, so he planned to invite his black card users to watch the play in the newly renovated theater building so as to earn money from the subsequent peripheral products and theater ticket fees.
As a result, this made him look so cool.
It was Liu Che who paid for these people.
Huo Yan played with the abacus beads in his hand, thinking silently.
As a result, Dongfang Shuo danced with joy after listening to the musicians' performance, Sima Xiangru joined in with his zither, and Zhuo Wenjun also looked excited and danced to the rhythm.
The three of them finally stopped arguing, and for a while, they were singing and dancing to the music of the birth of the stone monkey, which was quite festive.
Huo Yan sat up immediately. For the sake of quieting his ears, he would rather die than not keep these people who could calm the eight hundred ducks in his hands.
"Brother, how much can they buy out?"
If you're really brave, a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle. Buy it, I'll buy it.
Huo Qubing shook off the crumbs of snacks that had fallen all over him due to his excitement, and then said slowly, "Ayan, we don't want money, we want a big party, because your uncle is also very interested."
Given my uncle's personality, if he wants to have fun, he will give you whatever you want.
So you should give your uncle a card, otherwise he will be jealous of me every day and won’t dare to use his card.
Huo Yan became annoyed when he heard Liu Che, and picked up the yellow orange next to him and began to peel it slowly. He tore the thin skin of the orange on both sides, tore off the white vein, rolled it up, and held the orange with his white knuckles.
"Why should he? My relationship with him is not good enough to allow him to enter my house when his consumption is so low that I can't make any profit."
The fragrance of the orange hit him, and Huo Qubing stretched out his mouth to take it, smiling like the juice that splashed out when he bit into the plump orange, so sweet and comfortable.
"Believe me, once your uncle hears it, he will come to you even if you don't give it to him. And he will bring his uncle with him, so you and I don't have to make excuses."
Huo Yan sat on a chair in front of the stage, his posture relaxed, looking sideways at him, his disdain for Liu Che evident in his words, but he still tossed a wooden black membership card to Huo Qubing, raising his dark almond-shaped eyes.
"Brother, this top floor room is mine. Everyone in this store has a number. If he hadn't brought my uncle here to help me out of my predicament, this card would have been cancelled immediately, and he wouldn't have been able to take advantage of me again."
After saying that, he smiled, and the little red mole was faintly visible, which was really quite naughty and bad.
Huo Qubing took the card, his eyes fell on Huo Yan's smug face, his brows slightly raised, a smile appeared on his face, as if scattered sunlight was creating ripples.
As if unconsciously, he understood the implication of Ah Yan's words, that if his uncle always took his uncle with him, he could use the card as he pleased.
Huo Qubing smiled and crossed his legs.
"Uncle is lucky, he saved my uncle."
Huo Yan glanced at him silently. "Like the cards in your hand, you have dozens of them. You can come and go here as you please."
So, aren’t you lucky to have me?
Huo Qubing naturally put his arm around his shoulders, asked him to lean towards him, and then smiled at him, with his little fangs half exposed.
"You forgot that my uncle said I was born rich. I have a good life."
Huo Yan's hair had grown a little longer, reaching the side of his neck. He did not tie it into a bun as usual, but simply tied it casually with a red rope. A few strands fell into Huo Qubing's hands. His hair was as black as Huo Qubing's.
To be precise, as twins, they are almost identical.
Both of them always have slightly curly hair on their foreheads, they both have the same widow's peak, their foreheads are equally white, and they both have two black eyes that are as bright as spring water when they smile, and they always shine brightly when they look at each other.
As if looking in a mirror, Huo Yan outside the mirror looked at Huo Qubing in the mirror, holding his hand, his eyebrows curved, and spring water flowed in his eyes.
Huo Qubing was born rich, and his brother would also live a long and fulfilling life.
Huo Qubing laughed loudly and leaned on him with his unique vigor and enthusiasm.
Although they look the same, it seems that his vitality is always stronger than Huo Yan's, and just a little bit of it can make people excited and addicted.
Some people are born to move forward with their heads held high.
"Ayan, don't be jealous. Ayan is also a part of my good destiny."
Huo Yan blushed slightly, swallowed the sweet words on his lips, and let Huo Qubing lean on him.
"What are you jealous of? Brother, you're talking nonsense!"
He was a little slow in showing tenderness, but the answer Huo Qubing wanted was right here at that moment, in the blush on his face.
[My dear, I can only say that you don’t even look at the way you look at your brother.]
[It turns out that seeing the eyes of the one you love can melt the ice into spring water.]
[Bingbing, I'm here to prove it for my son. He's the one talking nonsense. He's just jealous.]
[Ayan wants to say, brother, I am so lucky to have you.]
[He's usually a bit of a scoundrel, self-willed, profit-driven, and calculating, but as long as it involves you, he won't refuse.]
[And my uncle.]
[He never says a soft word to the outside world, and never says a hard word to the inside.]
[Bingbing, even though you can't see me, I still want to say, please be patient with his arrogant attitude. He truly loves you with all his heart.]
[How could there be such an extreme person? I didn't know who he was.]
[Can't I hear you say something? Is there anything that a distinguished VIP like me can't hear?]
[I love you so much, but you just have this stupid mouth. It's so awkward.]
…
[No, why does Pig Pig love to be so lively?]
[But don’t you think Mr. Dongfang is so lively around Sima Xiangru and Miss Wenjun?]
[Don’t say that. Really, don’t say that.]
[I suspect Yan gave Che'er the black card because he was fed up with the three of them fighting. Now, if he could just stop them from fighting, Yan would walk upside down.]
[It's been a month, and I'm still irritable, not to mention Huo Yan, who has a terrible temper.]
[But he didn’t throw it out!]
[Because I'm still pretending I'm not the master, I have to hold on tight to my vest.]
[If you thought Ah Yan could hold it in, I would have let the three of them run away with their buckets.]
…
On the Qixi Festival, high-ranking officials, their wives, and their sons and nephews, with their heads held high, pulled out black cards signifying their status and entered the theater. Amidst the elegantly dressed crowd, each with their own private room, on the top floor of the theater, amidst the stars, Huo Yan and Huo Qubing followed Liu Che, watching the crowds come and go.
As the night stars begin to rise, the crowds gather.
Accompanied by the earth-shattering sounds of string instruments, the first act of "The Monkey King" officially began.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a monkey wearing a grass skirt made a stunning appearance.
No one expected that the protagonist of this play was no longer a historical figure or a character in mythology as usual in various operas, but a monkey. Well, to be honest, this was a handsome monkey.
Everyone was curious to begin with, and then they saw this monkey overcome all obstacles and become the Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Dongsheng Continent. Later, he learned skills in the Sanxing Cave. With great skills and courage, he made a big fuss in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, seized the Ruyi Jingu Bang as a weapon, made a big fuss in the underworld, and deleted his own book of life and death. They couldn't help but cheer!
He has great magical powers and is unruly.
By the time this monkey made friends with the seventy-two cave demon kings and raised the banner of rebellion to conquer the heavens, it was completely the right fit for him, the right fit for the Han people.
All of a sudden, everyone's attention was focused on the monkey.
What a great Monkey King! Everyone couldn't help but admire him.
Sima Xiangru in the crowd straightened his back as he looked at Sun Wukong in golden armor, and he couldn't wait to go up and give his acceptance speech.
This monkey is his and the owner of the toy house's child! He is the baby's father.
Zhuo Wenjun rolled her eyes when she heard that. Dongfang Shuo kicked him and told him to roll over and put the Monkey King series of colored wooden plaques as a souvenir.
The scene ends with the arrival of the Heavenly Army, the Monkey King looking at them and waving his golden stick.
Then a voice sounded, majestic and high-pitched, and it felt as if one had stepped into a place of life and death where swords and arrows were flying and dangers were everywhere, but the heart was quite excited. One sound after another struck directly on people's hearts, making military officers want to fight and civil officials want to put down their pens.
Liu Che was even more excited. He put his arm around Wei Qing's shoulders and shouted, "It's so refreshing! It's so refreshing! A man should listen to this!"
Huo Qubing also shouted, "Monkey Brother is the most powerful."
Huo Yan was proud in his heart, you little brat, I don’t even know our physical constitution.
Seeing him so proud that his tail was raised, Wei Qing sighed in his heart.
Combining what Huo Qubing once said about the Great Sage in A Yan's dream, and the details of these days, how could he not guess the kind of treatment he received here.
Ah Yan really is, that’s a foregone conclusion.
What my second sister said was a bit conservative. There was a golden-haired sheep in the family, and it was a real golden-haired sheep that could make a lot of money if you plucked it.
But he still didn't tell A Yan that he had noticed it. A Yan liked to make money, and he wanted to be an elder who didn't spoil his fun, but could he really bear it?
Your Majesty, you have finally caught one, you must kill him!
If Ayan was not his beloved nephew, he would have felt from the words of His Majesty that this man was loyal and courageous.
But this happened to be A Yan, and he knew why A Yan did this.
He stayed by His Majesty's side for one reason, but mostly because of the dream of expelling the Huns and never having another marriage alliance.
Just as Qubing practiced his archery more and more diligently, the knife in Ayan's hand that chopped at the nobles' wallets became sharper and sharper.
According to common sense, he would tell His Majesty that Ayan is truly a man of great talent in making money and can be of great use, but now he chooses to remain silent.
There is no reason. Ayan is too young. Out of love for his son and Ayan's own wishes, even if the Wei family is a kite in the hands of Dongjun, he is a minister dependent on His Majesty, and he will keep it secret this time.
His face was bitter, but could he hide it?
He didn't know that Liu Che was also looking at him. The young emperor was also looking at the eagle he had carefully raised, expecting him to spread his wings and fly high, just like the great sage, raising his powerful stick and leading thousands of horses and troops for him.
Wei Qing could do it. He knew it as soon as they met.
【Author’s words】
Uncle really loves Ayan and Qubing.
Just as Ayan was willing to make concessions for him and try to accept Liu Che, the uncle also knew that Ayan was unwilling to be exposed, so he tried hard to conceal it.
My uncle had deep feelings for Liu Che. He was a combination of a teacher, elder brother, and a lord. He would occasionally act like a child in front of Liu Che, but Ayan and Qubing were also beloved sons who could not be forgotten.
They are children who are always by his side and are always missed by him, so Liu Che asked his uncle to add more food as if he was asking a child, and his uncle also asked A Yan and Qu Bing to rest more, as they cared about each other.
Hey, Bingbing and Chezi are relatives from different generations!
My uncle doesn't like to talk, but when he does, he speaks very well. He's super smart.
Yanyan: I feel uneasy.
A Yan is really jealous of Liu Che.
