Chapter 17 Brother
Shortly after the banquet began, Tang Ruomu came to toast Nie Yan. Nie Yan raised his glass and drank together, and his eyes looked at the red silk from time to time.
The red silk pretended not to see it and looked down at the drama on the stage silently. Nie Yan coughed a few times. The red silk pretended to have just heard it and suddenly glanced at Tang Ruomu, "Second Prince."
"The injury of red silk is well." Tang Ruomu's black python robe looked like the prince who was holding a wine glass and toasting to Prime Minister Shen not far away.
The red silk nodded slightly and said, "It's okay."
"That's good, but it's a pity that I couldn't catch the bad guy." Tang Ruomu's face looked natural and there was no difference.
Red silk thinks it's funny. Isn't that bad person you? Why do you scold yourself in circles? "That bad person is good at martial arts. I think if the second prince is there that day, he will definitely be subdued?"
Tang Ruomu's face became a little strange, and he tentatively asked, "Can red silk see the man's appearance on that day?" If you can know what the man looks like, it will be easier to catch him. That night, her scarf was not scratched by the girl. She thought that she must have seen it, but later Nie Yan came to look for it once and told him something. He also said that he had asked if the red silk had seen it clearly, but the red silk said that it was too dark that night. Moreover, she was in an emergency situation at that time, and she was stabbed before she could see it clearly.
But in the current aggressive tone of red silk, I always feel a little uneasy.
"The second prince laughed. If I saw the man's appearance, I would have told you earlier that the sword was stabbed lightly. I wouldn't let him be tortured in prison?" While talking, she didn't forget to clenched her fist and punched the man who stabbed her with a sword.
Tang Ruomu had just taken a few steps away, and Nie Yan followed him slowly. His sharp eyes were full of a sense of examination. He had a few glasses with his colleagues lightly on his face. He turned around and said in a low voice, "How about it? Don't you believe me?"
Tang Ruomu didn't think much about it. He turned around and walked to Lou Xu Pavilion in the west. Lou Xu Pavilion was his mother's bedroom. It had not been renovated three years since his mother's death. He grabbed the cobweb on the armrest and frowned.
The room was full of moldy smell, which made him swung his fist and smashed a hole in the already injured window sill. These dog slaves dared to neglect so much.
Sitting by the bed and stroking the dust on it, I saw a man standing outside the door before he turned his head.
"How long has it been?" Tang Ruomu frowned unhappily, and he didn't even notice it.
When the man heard Tang Ruomu's words, he opened the door and came in. He was dressed in a light blue gown, reflecting the sunshine outside, and he was not as lively as ordinary people.
Tang Ziran opened the door and went in. He didn't walk over. He just leaned against the edge of the door and swept the room. It was not until he saw the deliberately damaged window sill that he said slowly, "Second brother, you will come here again." The words were a little frivolous, and there was some meaning that Tang Ruomu couldn't see clearly.
He got up and ignored the light ash on his body. He walked to Tang Ziran in two or three steps and said, "What is this place? You should know better than me?"
Tang Ziran smiled gently and said indifferently, "Yunfei's bedroom."
"It's good that you know." Tang Ruomu looked awe-inspiring and didn't want to talk nonsense with him. He was about to leave, but he was stopped by the man behind him. "Unfortunately, you are not qualified to see her."
"What are you talking about?" Tang Ruomu was enraged, his eyes turned red, and his throat lit up.
"Do you think you are qualified to let a patient wait for two years?" Tang Ziran smiled instead of anger, and his tone was stable, just like saying an ordinary thing.
"You!" He grabbed his collar and was ready to teach him a lesson. Before he took action, he was stopped by a voice.
"Second brother, seventh brother."
"Prince?!" The two were slightly surprised. How could he come here?
Tang Yu trotted a few steps, and sweat oozed from his tired forehead. He grabbed Tang Ruomu's hand in a hurry and said, "Second brother, if you have something to say, we are brothers whose blood is thicker than water. How can we fight for some small things?"
Tang Ruomu didn't answer, but looked at Tang Ziran deeply and let go after a while.
Tang Ziran straightened the corner of his clothes and smiled disdainfully, "Brother?" Be a brother with this kind of person?
"I only have one younger brother, but it's a pity that the third brother died early, otherwise." The gaze changed from the anger of Tang Ziran to the contempt of Tang Yu.
"This." Tang Yu was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. He just wanted to interve over the misunderstanding between the two, but he was dragged into the water.
He had a prince before him, but it's a pity that the prince was not more than four years old. Speaking of which, if the third prince did not die, I'm afraid he would not be sitting in the position of the future crown prince now.
He coughed several times before saying, "The second brother's words are wrong. Although we are not twin brothers, we are ultimately from our father." He still smiled and said politely.
Hearing Tang Yu's words, Tang Ziran, who stood next to him and wanted to watch the play, couldn't help but be a little angry, "Why did the fourth brother forget that you said another word in those years?"
Tang Yu was slightly stunned, "What are you talking about?"
"It's also a matter of childhood. It doesn't matter if the fourth brother doesn't remember."
"Ha ha, isn't it?" Tang Yu nodded and thought about it. He couldn't remember what happened when he was a child, so he asked curiously, "What did I say?" I didn't know Tang Ziran very well when I was a child. It can also be said that both of them have no communication. Now I can't remember what I said to him.
Tang Ziran smiled coldly, "Didn't the fourth brother say that the child born to the lowly maidservant is not worthy of yours?" At that time, when they arbitrarily abused other people's self-esteem, do they still remember that they were also brothers?
Tang Ruomu looked back at him, but Tang Yu looked at Tang Ruomu at a loss. He was still looking forward to see if he could save himself. Unexpectedly, the man laughed. After laughing, he said, "I don't have a life!"
one by one, one by one
When it comes to childhood, Tang Ruomu still had some impressions, mostly when he played with his younger brother, but there were also some things about Tang Ziran.
He has known since he was a child that Tang Ziran is different from them. What's the difference? Their mother's concubines are all extremely noble harem concubines, and Tang Ziran's mother's concubine is just a humble maidservant, which can also be regarded as the mother and son. After she was pregnant, she was awarded the title of beauty. But after all, it is not an orthodox background. In a place like the harem, who will really look up to them, that is, some talented people and little masters who are similar to her title are willing to talk to her.
When Tang Ziran was born, he did not give a colorful reward. Only later, when his mother and concubine died, the emperor remembered that there was such a son.
When he was eight years old, the emperor gave him to Concubine Yun to raise him.
From the day he entered Louxuge, they began to be social. Tang Ruomu didn't hate or like his new brother. In fact, he himself was also contradictory. He didn't like him because Tang Ziran had a pair of eyes like his third brother, shining like the moon, but he liked him a little, but he was also For this reason, every time he sees him smiling at himself, he will think of his third brother, and naturally compare him with his younger brother. He said: Tang Ziran, are you Yumu's head? Can you be smarter? My third brother was only three years old and could make poems. He also said: Tang Ziran, don't starve to death as if you haven't eaten. My third brother only ate half a bowl of rice back then.
I don't know why Tang Ruomu felt that since Tang Ziran came to Louxuge, the mother concubine became more and more indifferent to herself. Every time, she left the good things to Tang Ziran first, and the rest would think of himself. At the age of 13, he was the most rebellious time. He began to be jealous of him, hated him, and excluded him, and even others. When bullying him, Tang Ruomu Mingming heard him shouting for his brother's help, but he still ignored it.
That was when he was fifteen years old, and Tang Ziran was ten years old.
After class, as soon as he came out of the hall, he turned his face and saw a group of people around Tang Ziran, headed by the prince. Tang Yu pointed to Tang Ziran's nose and smiled, "Is it worthy of a class with us?" Go to bed early." After saying that, there was loud laughter around.
"We are all born by our fathers." Tang Ziran didn't know where the confidence came from. He looked up at Tang Yu, who was one head taller than him.
Tang Yu looked at him contemptuously, "Is it just you? It's also worthy." After saying that, he ordered the boy around him to give him a good fist.
Tang Ruomu watched this scene from afar at that time. I don't know how long it took him to hear Tang Ziran, who had been beaten with every good skin in the crowd, shouting, "Brother, save me." Brother, help me, help me.
Tang Ruomu was stunned for a moment. There was no doubt that this sentence would remind him of the scene of his third brother drowning. He also shouted that he wanted to save him by himself. Unfortunately, he could not swim at that time and watched him struggle to die.
At that time, Tang Ziran saw him and thought he would save himself, but until he shouted through his throat, Tang Ruomu still stood not far away and looked at him in a daze.
Somehow, when Tang Ruomu looked into those eyes, a place in his heart seemed to collapse. He didn't want to save him, but the guilt overflowing in his heart forced him to do so.
"The emperor is here." He pinched his voice and learned from Grandpa Li beside Emperor Gao and shouted like that.
Hearing this, the crowd who was still beating Tang Ziran began to feel a little uneasy. Unexpectedly, Tang Yu said, "You fight first, I'll go and have a look." After saying that, I ran away.
Tang Ruomu thought that the crowd would disperse as soon as he shouted high. He didn't know that they didn't believe in themselves. He pulled his sleeves and was about to pass, but he heard a shout.
Tang Qin pulled a little girl and ran to the crowd. The girl glanced at everyone and then shouted, "It's killing me. Help."
Hearing this, everyone fled everywhere.
When he saw Tang Qin and the girl leaving with a blue-faced Tang Ziran, he was relieved and watched them leave.
