Record of ups and downs in troubled times

"I'm Jinmo."

There was another loud murmur among the crowd.The faces of the servants in the Tan Mansion also showed disbelief, which shows that even they couldn't believe that Tan Yun would marry a prostitute to return to the manor.

The folk customs in the capital are open, and it is not uncommon for wealthy families to marry women from the land of fireworks as concubines.But Tan Yun has always been steady, not like the kind of person who often hangs around singing and dancing halls.Commander Feng said just now that Mrs. Jinmo belongs to him. Could it be that Tan Zhonglang really can't win her love?

All kinds of discussions arose one after another.

Second Young Master Tan took a few steps towards Tan Yun, and called out loudly, "Father."

All the servants in Tan's mansion knew that Mrs. Tan was a bit crazy, and her mother-in-law, who had been serving her all the year round, felt terrified when she was alone with her.Among so many people, the one who is most afraid of being in the same room with Mrs. Tan is probably Tan Yangui himself.

Why didn't Tan Yun's son grow up in the Tan Mansion, but instead lived in the palace?In detail, it is precisely because of Mrs. Tan.

According to the old mother who gave birth to Tan Yan, when the young son of Tan Mansion was just born, Mrs. Tan, who had no strength and was paralyzed on the bed, struggled to sit up, clamoring to stay on the bed to grab the baby boy's swaddling clothes. .The people present at that time thought that the mother was eager to love her son and couldn't wait to see her son, so they put the baby in the arms of Mrs. Tan with confidence.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tan looked at the baby's face for a while, and suddenly threw the swaddle on the ground, and she burst into tears, and even stepped on her own son with her feet while crying.

It is thanks to the kindness of this fall in the world that Mr. Tan was very weak when he was a child, and he was very good at crying at night.

On the day of his full moon, when the Tan family held a big banquet, a barefoot alchemist came.The alchemist was dressed in rags, but his eloquence was extraordinary.He pointed at the young master of the Tan family who was just full moon and shook his head: "Not good, not good. He obviously shouldn't have come to this world, so how can he make a fool of others? This young master has already declined at birth. I'm afraid I won't live long."

On top of the feast, there are people who say such sarcastic remarks, which is really ominous.In order to avert disaster, the Tan family had no choice but to invite this alchemist into the banquet and ask him for advice on how to decipher it.

The ragged "big fairy" twirled his beard and pretended to be a ghost: "Since the young master meets this humble person, perhaps it is also destined by the heavens. If I don't, I will boldly do the fortune-telling for the young master." With his left palm, he counted sevens and sevens with one hand. After half a stick of incense, he opened his eyes and drew a strange spell on the child's left palm with wine: "Is the young master the eldest son of your mansion? Why don't you go?" On the outskirts of the capital, there is a memorial tablet for the eldest son of the Tan Mansion, and two pieces of the young master's close-fitting clothing are placed in it. When the King of Hades ordered his life, it is unknown whether the young master was regarded as the second in line and let him go .”

From then on, Tan Yangui, who was obviously the only son of the Tan Mansion, was called "Second Young Master Tan".

This name is called six years.

In the past six years, no one thought that this child should have a proper name.He grew up slowly by being called "Second Young Master Tan" all the way, and as time went by, he became more and more afraid of his mother, Mrs. Tan.In his eyes, the name of mother might just be scars for no reason and countless scoldings for no reason.

He was still young, so he didn't understand where those mothers' hatred for him came from, but he only knew secretly that his biological mother didn't want him to live in this world.

She wants to kill him.

Finally, after his father Tan Yun failed to stop him, and Mrs. Tan splashed hot tea all over his face, King Ke Liu Yi made the decision to bring him into the palace and let him accompany the little emperor Liu Pu.When he was told that the child had no name yet, the kind-eyed King Ke hugged him and said softly: "When you were born, I thought it was the time when the Fanren returned me to the three lands of Yanxi and made them return to their homeland. It’s time. Why don’t you name it Yangui, I hope you can become a pillar of talent and do a great job in the future.”

His life and his name were all bestowed by King Ke, how could this make him feel close to Mrs. Tan? !

At this moment, looking at Tan Yun lying on the ground, and Mrs. Tan standing solemnly, he suddenly had a bad thought: Could it be that, as Feng Shuxing said, he is really not the biological son of the Tan family?

This thought frightened him so much that in a vague way, his childhood stuttering problem seemed to suddenly return to his throat, just like that afternoon more than ten years ago, he faced the scorching face and stammered "" Hot, hot..."

No one cares about him, no one helps him.

Tan Yangui suddenly felt the heat flow all over his face, and when he wiped it in a panic, he realized that he had wiped away the tears with his hand.

He has a stubborn temper and would never cry in front of others, but now he exposed his most vulnerable side in front of others, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed in his heart, wishing to plunge headfirst into the ground.His heart was full of mixed feelings, so when that warm, thin palm rested on his wrist, he didn't react for a while, and even forgot to retreat habitually.

Mrs. Tan held Tan Yangui's wrist, and when her eyes glanced at this stunning face that was almost identical to her own, she showed her usual straightforward disgust.She grabbed her son's wrist, dragged him to Feng Shuxing, and then pushed her son hard from behind.

When Tan Yangui was pushed by her biological mother to Feng Shuxing's feet, she heard the woman say: "This is your son, take him away."

The tone is cold, and the disdain in it is also fully expressed.

After a long silence, even the noisy judges shut their mouths obediently.

Feng Shuxing lowered his body slowly, supported Tan Yangui's arms, his lips were pressed together tightly, but he didn't seem to be suppressing his anger.Tan Yangui accidentally saw his face, and suddenly felt that this Feng Shuxing might really be his father: Tan Yangui couldn't understand the pain that flashed across his cheek twitching.

"What about you?" Feng Shuxing raised his head, but smiled indifferently, "Aren't you also my child's mother?"

"She is my wife of Tan Yun..." Tan Yun swayed a few steps, and was about to step forward to pull Mrs. Tan back, but the woman with thin shoulders immediately retorted: "I am not your wife."

With such a sudden change, even Feng Shuxing was stunned for a moment.He helped Tan Yangui to stand up first, and said with a sarcasm: "Tan Yun, you have also been rejected? How does it taste? According to this, you are too embarrassed to let go, right?"

Tan Yun didn't care about him, seeing Jin Mo walking directly outside the gate of the mansion, he hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed her arm.Jin Mo turned around and opened his palm point by point. Those eyes, which were always chaotic and meaningless, brightened up again in an instant.

The woman smiled, and her whole face was as bright as the warm sun on the river.She opened her lips and silently mouthed to him: "Remember to come and see me off."

Zhu Qi helped Tan Yun treat the wound, and when he returned to the palace, it was already late at night.

He stepped into the bedroom of Changle Palace silently, but saw that the hall was dark, and a stream of moonlight streamed in from the wide open window, reflecting the emperor's slender figure.

"His Majesty."

Zhu Qi stated the matter ten thousand five hundred and ten, those heart-wrenching moments, in his calm mouth, seemed to be flat and not worth mentioning.But Liu Pu listened, but there were countless small heartaches in his heart, like small blisters in boiling water, which could not be calmed down.

In the past few days, his heart, which is not broad, can only let go of Tan Yan's return to the throne of the country, is like being placed on a fire and immersed in a hot pot, and gradually, there are only a few spots of boiling water left. pain.

What else could it be?

From the moment he learned from Zhu Qikou that King Xiaoxiang brought Feng Shuxing back to the capital, from the moment he accidentally found out that Feng Shuxing was actually Tan Yangui's biological father, didn't he already plan such a scene? , Waiting patiently for such an ending?

also good.The Tan Mansion was empty, and his emperor's Changle Palace was also empty and lonely.

Zhu Qi didn't know when he left, only Zhou Zheng was left, and walked cautiously into the hall holding a flickering candle lamp.The faint glow of the candle flame was a little brighter than the cold moonlight. Liu Pu turned to look at it, and wanted to put out his hand to put it out, but he had no choice but to give up after looking at the memorials piled up on the table.

Everyone else can leave, but he must stay until the end.

"It may rain tonight, Your Majesty should close the windows and be careful of catching cold." Zhou Zheng said with concern.

Refusing to close the window when going to bed at night, this is the rule when the second son of Tan was around.A few days ago, I helped the emperor find out the details of Feng Shuxing, and secretly searched for the old mother of the Tan Mansion more than ten years ago, only to find out where the problem originated: when the second son of Tan was four or five years old, his mother had a mad attack and pushed him away. He entered the dry well in the deserted garden, and ordered the maid beside him to nail the mouth of the well tightly with wooden boards, and no one was allowed to rescue him.

Everyone in the Tan family realized that the young master was gone, they just thought he had been abducted, and searched all over the capital.It was not until two days later that a maid who participated in the incident had a bad conscience and asked someone to open the mouth of the well to rescue the young master.

That scene, even after many years, the old man is still worried when he thinks about it.According to her, the well was not completely dry, and there was still a layer of knee-high silt.Young Master Tan was soaked in the mud, his mouth and throat were covered with mud, either dry or wet, and there was only air coming in but no air coming out of his nasal cavity.

Perhaps it was because of this incident that he hated closed rooms so much that he had to leave the windows and doors wide open at all times.

"It's not just the window sash," the emperor laughed softly when he heard Zhou Zheng's retelling: "Do you still remember the box where I put books and gadgets? He saw it, and he insisted on opening it to dry. I was alone in Lantai When I was studying, I insisted on opening the round window, because of this, I don’t know how many times I have caught cold, how many times I have been sick..."

Smiling and laughing, the emperor covered his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were already flushed.

Even though his heart hurts like this, he can't shed tears.

"Many years ago, my elder brother brought him to me, put his hand in mine, and said to me, you must treat this younger brother well." The emperor suddenly wanted to talk to people very much, "the elder brother asked I treat him well, but neither he nor Yan Gui himself have ever told me about this guy's past. If I knew that Tan Er had such a bad life, I should treat him better... ..."

"I failed to treat him well. Zhou Zheng, do you know that the reason why I crossed the line of 'brother' with him was all my fault. It was all my fault, you know. Four years ago? Or five? Years ago? I forced him, I drank him alcohol, I even stole banned drugs...Low, dirty, he hates me, yes, I..."

Liu Pu felt dizzy even though he hadn't even touched a drop of wine.

These words came out of his mouth one after another, every word made him stare in the eyes.

"Your Majesty," Zhou Zheng sighed and comforted, "You have done a good job."

"You did a good job?" the emperor murmured with red eyes, "Tan Er is not a grudge, but he hates me; I want to be with him, but he just wants to leave me. This time it's good, I Send him out of the palace with your own hands..."

"Second Master Tan will not hate you." A gust of cool wind blew into the bedroom, and Zhou Zheng hurriedly reached out his hand to catch the candlelight.He stared at the candle, remembering that when Young Master Tan Er first came to the palace, he was unwilling to talk to anyone, but he stammered when he spoke, even the nanny who took care of him thought the child was cold.

The little emperor was different, he hung around behind him all day long, talking to him and pulling him to play.The emperor's temper has been bad since he was a child, and he would get annoyed if others didn't follow his wishes.When playing with Tan Yangui, the little emperor would often drop things, turn around and leave with his mouth pouted.

But the next day, as if no quarrel had happened, he would continue to talk to Mr. Tan Er persistently.

"The future will be long," Zhou Zhengzheng was feeling in his heart how close the two were when they were young, and suddenly he heard the emperor talking to himself again, and when he listened carefully, he only heard the emperor say quietly: "I always thought that it will only be in the future." .It turns out I was wrong all along.”
