Chapter 369: Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Happiness
Su Ren and Liu Che hid in the Xuan room, drinking and chatting while eating the braised meat brought by Su Ren. There are also a few young boys beside him, some of whom Su Ren knows, and some of whom Su Ren doesn't know, Wei Qing and Li Danghu Su Ren have met, and they have all been rescued by Su Ren, and they are very polite to Su Ren. Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He Su Ren have never met, but the two have admired Su Ren for a long time, and they are very happy to finally see each other today.
The braised meat is good, I thought it was cheap meat, but when I ate it in my mouth, I felt that it was better than mutton and even beef. This time the party was convened by Liu Che, as the emperor, he actually had no friends. The emperor is also a human being, and he also needs friends, Su Ren, a few courtiers of the same age, should be regarded as friends!
Liu Che picked up a piece of pig ear, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with a creaky sound: "Last time I was at your house, I didn't eat much, this time you know each other, otherwise, I have to go on a trip, and it is difficult to go out of the palace!" ”
Su Ren took a sip of wine: "Don't be immortal, say another word, a few of us immediately kneel down and see how you eat?" ”
Gongsun Ao and Gongsun He looked at Su Ren in a daze, they didn't expect this guy to speak so directly. Li Danghu frowned, stretched out his hand and stabbed Su Ren, Su Ren looked back at Li Danghu: "What are you doing stabbing me?" Your Majesty does want to be respected, and that is also an occasion, in the court, in front of outsiders, Your Majesty is high, we are all Your Majesty's courtiers, and the number of courtesies is indispensable. ”
"But this is in private, Your Majesty is our friend! From the moment a few of us sit here in a circle, there will be no humility, everyone is the same, they are all brothers and friends! Having said that, I will say a few more words, speaking of which, my status is the lowest, not as good as you, not as good as Brother Wei Qing, not as good as Your Majesty, not as old as Gongsun Ao, and not as prominent as Gongsun He in my family background, but from today on, Your Majesty is our head, you, you, you, the five of us swear, we will assist Your Majesty as the eldest brother in this life and this life, no matter how difficult it is! ”
After Su Ren finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass: "How is it?" If he breaks his oath one day, the others will kill him! ”
In front of Liu Che, several people did not hesitate, picked up the wine glass, touched it fiercely, and raised their heads to drink it dry. Liu Che was also excited by Su Ren's words, he was looking for these people to do this, as the emperor, this is not easy to open, Su Ren made it clear today, and several people responded positively, which made Liu Che very satisfied. Laughed a few times: "Share the weal and the worn, the same wealth!" ”
Several people clinked glasses again and laughed a few times after drinking.
Liu Concubine also drank at home, she drank stuffy wine, since Haoqiang was driven away, Liu Concubine suddenly felt that there was no one around her who could speak, and began to miss Yao Shuai, Guo Xie and others. If those two people are here, she will definitely not be able to swallow this breath of humiliation of that bullshit merit monument, one can write, the other can martial arts, at least she can save a little face.
Chen Yi gently pushed open the door, walked in front of Liu Yan, and respectfully saluted: "Mother, are you looking for a child?" ”
Concubine Liu turned her head, her eyes were full of anger, her teeth creaked, she stared at her second son viciously, and slowly got up. Chen Yi knew what Liu Yan wanted to do, but he neither dodged nor retreated, and stood calmly.
"Smack!" A crisp slap in the face, and Chen Yi stumbled. The timid maids around them grew their mouths in surprise, and hurriedly covered them with their hands, but they didn't dare to make any sound.
Liu Yan hit four or five times in a row, the corners of Chen Yi's mouth were broken, blood flowed from his nostrils, and his two faces became red and began to swell. Liu Yan roared almost hysterically: "You are not my son, from today you are not my son!" ”
Chen Yi has no status at home, his father is waiting for Chen Wu, and his mother is Princess Liu of Guantao, all of whom are lukewarm to him, the eldest brother is the son of the Chen family, and the younger sister is the queen, and the parents' thoughts are all on these two people. Although Chen Yi has no worries about food and clothing, he doesn't worry about food and clothing, no one asks when he goes out, and no one cares if he comes back, he is very free. But compared with his brother Chen Xu and sister Chen Ajiao, Chen Yi has the most eyes.
Wiping a handful of blood from his face, Chen Yi smiled: "Yes, I am not your son, the eldest brother is the eldest son, the younger sister is the queen, I am nothing, and I don't even have the qualification to be surnamed Chen, so what do I care about?" I am a superfluous person, and today I will call you Mother one last time, and thank you for giving birth to me, Mother! The last sound, Chen Yi shouted very sincerely, and turned around and left after shouting, without looking at Liu Yan more.
Liu Yan's tears couldn't stop flowing, and no one dared to step forward with the servants around, they had never seen the princess cry, this was the first time. Collapsed to the ground, crying bitterly. The sound of howling could be heard clearly outside the princess's mansion. Suddenly, Liu Concubine stopped crying, got up from the ground, pointed to the door, and shouted: "Okay! If you have the ability, don't come back if you leave! ”
"The Empress Dowager doesn't protect me, my nephew and son-in-law don't like me, and my son doesn't recognize me as a mother. Never let me see you again! Reflexively, he threw the cups, plates and bowls on several cases to the ground, and all of them were smashed into pieces, gritting his teeth and saying two words viciously: "Su Ren!" ”
The old butler hurriedly ran in, saw a mess, looked left and right, and shouted angrily: "What are you still looking at? If you don't hurry up and clean up, if your Highness is injured, you will all have to die! ”
The servants rushed over in fright, bowed their heads and began to pick up the debris on the ground. After the servants had retreated, the old housekeeper walked behind Concubine Liu and said, "Your Highness? ”
Concubine Liu rolled her eyes and glared at the old housekeeper. The old butler sighed: "Hey! The hall is dead! ”
Tangyi Hou Chen Wu has been bedridden in anger since the last time he broke the love between Liu Concubine and Uncle Yao, unable to speak or move. After the imperial doctor diagnosed, they all shook their heads and sighed. At that time, Liu Concubine was at the highest point of her flying and domineering, and she didn't care about Chen Wu's life and death at all, and lay in bed for more than half a year.
Tang Yi is waiting to die, which is a big deal. Tangyi Hou Mansion and Guantao Princess Mansion are not in the same place, but Tangyi Hou is Liu Concubine's husband, he is dead, and Liu Concubine has the right to know. By the time Liu Yan came, the Tangyi Houfu was already white, and it was almost wrapped in white cloth from outside the door to inside the door. The courtyard was lifeless, and there was not a single one except for a few subordinates.
No matter which dynasty, the horses are very sad, except for a princess's wife, they will never dare to raise the rest of the women, and those nameless and diviless outer rooms are counted separately. When Tangyi was waiting to die, Liu Concubine was teaching her second son Chen Yi at home, the eldest son Chen Wu didn't know where to go to spend all day drinking, and her daughter Chen Ajiao was in the palace. It can be said that Chen Wu died tragically, and when he closed his eyes, he didn't have any relatives around him.
Looking at her almost thin husband on the couch, Liu Concubine couldn't tell whether she was sad or uncomfortable, she watched from a distance and didn't say a word. After watching it like this for a long time, Concubine Liu turned around and walked out of the door: "Go and get everyone back, and then send someone to the palace to tell the queen!" ”
"No!" The old butler hurriedly agreed.
Concubine Liu walked all the way out of the Tangyi Marquis's Mansion, and she was unwilling to stay in it for one more minute. It wasn't until lunch that Chen Xu swayed, came back with a mouth full of wine, looked up at the white flowers on the door, burped, and said angrily: "What's the matter?" That kid doesn't want to live anymore, and dares to hang white flowers on my door? ”
Menzi hurriedly held Chen Xu up, crying: "Eldest prince, you can come back, master, master, he ......"
"What's wrong? Say it well? ”
"The master has passed away!"
Chen Xu shook his head, and Menzi said it again. Chen Xu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Dead? Are you sure you're dead? ”
Menzi was stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly. Chen Xu threw the door open, turned around and was about to leave. Menzi hurriedly stopped: "Eldest son, where are you going?" The master has passed away, and you are the eldest son, so you deserve ......"
Before Menzi's words were finished, Chen Xu laughed and said, "I can't inherit the title of Tangyi Hou, what are you looking for me?" Whoever inherits the title of the marquis of the Tang Yi will go to whom! ”
Watching Chen Xu staggering away, still singing the ** minor tune he heard from somewhere, Menzi didn't know what to do at all, and after thinking about it, he hurriedly ran away from home.
The housekeeper was directing people to set up a mourning hall in the lobby, and after listening to Menzi's words, he almost fainted out of breath and stomped on the ground: "What kind of sin has the Chen family suffered?" ”
The news of Tangyi's death soon spread in Chang'an City. A real Chang'an person, if he doesn't care about the affairs of the Tangyi Marquis Mansion and the Guantao Princess Mansion, then he is not a qualified Chang'an person. In the past ten years, these two places have been the most prominent places in Chang'an City, even more interesting than the Imperial Palace. As soon as Tangyi died in the morning, the entire Chang'an City knew about it in the afternoon.
The newly opened Cuixiang Building next to the Chengxi Market soon opened the market in Chang'an with exquisite food and fine wine. The businessmen who traveled south and north, since they had a meal in Cuixianglou in Shu County, can no longer forget the taste there. Now that this Cuixiang Building has opened in Chang'an, it is natural to come and move around more. Not only foreign businessmen, but also local businessmen in Chang'an are also full of praise for the wine and food of Cuixianglou.
Before the meal arrived, there were several Chang'an businessmen sitting on a table facing the street. Looking at the servants and subordinates of the Tangyi Marquis Mansion who came to purchase on the street, several people quickly shifted the topic to Tangyi Hou Chen Wu and Guantao Princess Liu Yan.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, Princess Pavilion Tao took people to smash the merit monument that Taixue had just erected, and she forced the family to fight back! ”
"How can I not hear of such a big thing, that Shu County Su Ren really dares to do it, and he is also a powerful person!"
"By the way, it is said that the death of Tangyi Hou Chen Wu was angered by Su Ren, when did their family suffer such humiliation?"
"No, no! Tangyi Hou Chen Wu had already fallen ill, and it was only a matter of time before he died. ”
"I know about this, say yes, when Chen Wu went to Princess Guantao's mansion, he found that Princess Guantao was with a man......" The man who spoke twisted his body and looked cheap.
"Hahaha......" the rest laughed.
