Volume 1: Lingdong Mountain Snow Chapter 4 Family (I)
"The prince is home!"
With the penetrating shout of the coachman, a kind of maid who had been waiting at the door for a long time walked out neatly, standing aside with their respective utensils.
Tang Jin got out of the car, didn't care about everyone, and walked straight to the house, but Xiao Dezi behind him didn't follow, after all, there was still a whole cart of rotten vegetables waiting for him.
Passing through the gate and passing through the middle gate, before he could stop, an old man who looked like a housekeeper greeted him, "Shizi, the princess and Mr. Pei are waiting for you in the dining room." ”
"Got it." Tang Jin waved his hand and turned around and walked towards the dining room. Before entering the dining room, a bell-like voice came out.
"My son is back? Have you had fun today? ”
The corners of Tang Jin's mouth pulled a helpless smile, his father was more like a child than himself, thinking like this in his heart, but his movements were not slow, he walked into the dining room quickly, and did not look closely, and saluted to the main seat: "I have seen my father!" Tired of his father's worries, the child is happy to go out today. ”
In the dining room, Tang Duo sat on the throne, and on the right side sat a delicate and elegant woman, this person was Tang Jin's biological mother, Wang Xuan'er, the concubine of Tang Duo, the king of Dongxian, and on the right side was Pei Ming, who was dressed in a light cyan brocade.
"You kid, what kind of etiquette do you have in your own house?" Tang Duo frowned and looked at Pei Ming, "Old Pei, look at what etiquette you have to say that you want Jin'er to learn, you say that you can cultivate yourself, but if you want me to see that you haven't cultivated your temperament, a good child has been turned into a sour talent by that group of old antiques!" ”
Pei Ming glanced at Tang Duo, looking too lazy to pay attention to him, and just said to Tang Jin: "Okay, just make a show outside, go back to your own house and pretend?" Do you really think you're godfather, I don't know what kind of character you stinky boy is? ”
"Godfather, what you said is not right." When Tang Jin heard this, he no longer pretended, pulled the stool in front of him casually, sat down without any image, grabbed a bunch of grapes in the fruit bowl on the table, and said while eating: "Look, I am also the prince of Dongxian Wang, and I am polite outside, which is for the face of our palace, after all, you also know that my father is this...... Right. ”
After saying that, Tang Jin threw a look at Pei Ming that you know, Pei Ming chuckled and nodded, Tang Duo suddenly stopped, "I said stinky boy, are you fat?" Dare to sarcastically mock your father? Don't you just want to say that your dad is rude to me outside? I'm telling you, I'm not rude, it's called informality, it's called carefree! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. ”
"Yes, yes, you are free, you are informal." Tang Jin nodded again and again, muttering in a low voice, "At someone else's wedding, I drank too much and pulled the bride's hand to sigh that you can really be free and easy in life, and on the way back, you can really be unruly when you strip naked and run naked...... It's a shame that people don't know that you are the prince, otherwise the ancestor would have kicked open the coffin board by now. ”
Although Tang Jin muttered in a low voice, after all, a few people were not far away, so they naturally heard it clearly, Pei Ming and Wang Xuan'er forced a smile, but the latter's shoulders were shaking so badly that they were obviously about to be unable to hold back, and Tang Duo, as a party to the party, was full of black lines, an old face was flushed with shame, and a pair of eyes looked straight to the ground.
"Don't look for it, the place is not sewn, what's the shame about this? I don't know who drank too much during the war, stood on the cliff and peed, and shouted that they would wash the enemy away. Pei Ming took a sip of tea, and with a smile on his face, he broke out again.
Hahahaha!
As soon as Pei Ming spoke, the few people at the table couldn't hold it anymore, and they laughed out loud while holding their stomachs.
"Lao Pei!" Tang Duo slapped the table and stood up, his old face was about to turn purple. Pei Ming didn't care, and took a sip of tea casually, "What?" Do you want me to explode even more? ”
"Don't! I was wrong, I was wrong. Tang Duo instantly relented, you must know that when he led the troops to fight, he had done more than one embarrassing thing, and some of them were more powerful than the one just now, and all he knew about these things was him, Pei Ming and a few henchmen, and now if Pei Ming broke out, he would really have no face to see people.
"Yo, what do you say? So happy? Just as everyone was laughing, a slightly snarky voice came. For a while, the dining room was quiet, and everyone who was still frolicking suddenly changed to a serious expression, and even Pei Ming and Tang Jin had a little disgust in their eyes.
After a while, a thin woman came out from behind the tent, dressed in a red brocade robe, supported by a maid about fifteen or sixteen years old, and slowly sat to Tang Duo's left.
"I just went to the door to listen to the laughter in the hall, how could the concubine be so quiet as soon as she came in? What are you glad to hear from me? ”
Tang Jin quickly put down the grapes in his hand as soon as he came in, stood up and straightened his clothes, and saluted with a cold face.
"I've seen Erniang!"
"Hey, don't be so polite to your own family." The woman stretched out her hand to help Tang Jin up, but Tang Jin took a quick step to stand up straight, retracted her hand in embarrassment, and said, "I don't know what you are talking about?" Would Jin'er like to tell Erniang? ”
"Back to Erniang, it's nothing, it's just a farce that Jin'er saw when she went out to play today, and it's all the vulgar words of some people in the mountains and wilderness, Erniang still don't listen to it." Tang Jin didn't look at the other party's casual perfunctory words.
"This ......" The woman didn't seem to give up, and just as she was about to ask again, Tang Duo stopped her voice: "Since the child doesn't want to say, don't force it." ”
The woman glanced at Tang Duo and smiled slightly. Tang Duo didn't wait for him to speak, then asked, "Didn't you say a few days ago that you were suffering from the wind and cold and didn't go out?" Why are you here today? ”
"Back to the prince, the concubine has been recuperating in the room for a few days and is a little bored, and now I want to go out and take a breath, and when I happened to catch up with the meal, I thought that our family hadn't eaten together for several days, and I was also worried about Jin'er, so I came to take a look." The woman said and did not forget to glance at Tang Jin lovingly.
In this regard, Tang Jin just nodded, obviously not eating her set. To be honest, Tang Jin is really not interested in his second mother, his father's side room. Not only him, but also Tang Duo and Pei Ming didn't have a good impression of her.
This is not because of the other party's background or something like that, on the contrary, the other party's background is extremely good, but she is the daughter of the Liu family, one of the five wealthy merchants of the Tang Dynasty. But the other party just made his father's side room, which ...... There is no bloody love, and the only estimate that has it is a dirty political marriage.
I think that back then, when Tang Duo was inaugurated as King Dongxian, because his main room, that is, Tang Jin's biological mother, had not been able to give birth to an heir for many years, the emperor used this as an excuse to forcibly give the Liu family to Tang Duo, nominally to open up branches and leaves for King Dongxian, but in fact it was to monitor in the name of marriage, after all, the Eastern Regions is the largest domain in the entire Tang Dynasty, and Tang Duo is the most powerful one among the princes.
Besides, this Liu family, although it was forcibly allowed to Tang Duo, but she was also satisfied with this marriage for a long time, and she was also angry, and she became pregnant in the first year of marriage, and gave birth to a baby boy for the palace, and he is nine years old today, but he is not in the mansion for the time being.
And Tang Jin has always suspected that the person who killed him back then was assigned by the other party after knowing the existence of the other party, after all, he died, and the Liu family who benefited the most in the entire palace was the Liu family, so he never had a good face for him.
