Princess Liu of Guantao fell ill, and it was said that her illness was serious. The emperor sent an imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, but the effect was not satisfactory. She was still feeling groggy all day long and could not find energy to do anything. I heard from the maid that she would stay all night long.
He couldn't sleep, and sometimes he would talk nonsense. Chen Xu ran away somewhere. Only Chen Tie occasionally came over to take a look and did his duty as a son.
Ever since Xia Houpo committed suicide, Princess Guantao's Mansion has become very deserted. Those who were able to stay as hangers-on and diners have fled, and those who can attach themselves to other families have joined other families. The remaining people can't play much of a role.
The thing that made Liu Piao uncomfortable the most was Dong Yan. That guy actually ran away, and he couldn't find him after searching for several days. Only then did Liu Piao realize that the reason why those people gathered around him was not because he was so virtuous or famous, they were just
Picture the power in her hands.
Chen Tie gave Liu Piao some water, picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped the water stains on his chin: "Mom, rest in peace, my dear, I have to say goodbye. I will come to visit you in a few days!"
Liu Piao wanted to speak, but she didn't know why. This son she had never liked has now become her only hope. She regretted it and wanted to repent, but seeing the expression on her son's face, she understood that no matter how sincere she was, she
, Chen Tie will only think that she is taking advantage of him.
He nodded slightly: "My son is alone, so be careful!"
Chen Tie smiled slightly: "Don't worry, mother. My child is going to study at Louguan Academy next month. Mr. Su has already agreed. My child thinks Taoism is very good and I should ask Zhuang Qingzhai for advice."
"Taoism? Why don't my sons learn Confucianism? Only after learning Confucianism can you..." Seeing that Chen Tie was not asking for his opinion, he was just telling him about the matter, and swallowed back the second half of the sentence.
After leaving the gate of the Princess's Mansion, I got on my carriage and prepared to go back and pack up. Although personal belongings are not allowed in the academy, it is necessary to visit the gentlemen. Besides, almost all the royal family members in Chang'an City have people who are watching the academy in the building.
It's not easy to meet empty-handed. Those people have been suppressed by his mother all these years, so maybe this opportunity can ease the relationship.
As soon as they entered the East Street, a carriage rushed over. Being able to ride a horse in Chang'an city was definitely a big deal. Chen Tong quickly asked his driver to give way, leaving the middle for the approaching carriage. The carriage was very gorgeous, in broad daylight.
Lanterns were hung at the four corners of the carriage, and red brocade surrounded the carriage. The huge umbrella cover not only blocked the people in the carriage, but also the driver.
"Drive...!" A sudden brake, the carriage stopped steadily. Zhou Jiande's big head came out of the window and shouted: "Chen Tu! Tangyi Hou?"
Chen Tie heard it, but he didn't understand why someone called him. Because of Princess Guantao, not many people in Chang'an City liked to associate with him, and his brother Chen Xu was even more unpopular. On the streets, being treated like this
This is the first time I shouted stop.
Chen Tie quickly stuck his head out: "Oh, it turns out it's Pingquhou, I'm rude and rude!"
Zhou Jiande chuckled and said mysteriously: "I heard that you are going to Louguan Academy to study in a few days. I don't know what you are going to study? Among your family, you are the only one who looks pleasing to the eye. From now on, you can be regarded as a classmate.
If you have anything, you can come to me."
"Thank you Pingquhou, I will remember it!"
Zhou Jiande waved his hand: "Don't come here with these nonsense, to celebrate you study, you will be the host of Cuixiang Tower tonight!"
Chen Tie smiled: "It should be so!"
"That's it, we're going to find Chen He and the others now. There will be a lot of excitement there!" After Zhou Jiande finished speaking, he retracted his head and asked the driver to drive the car without waiting for Chen Tie to reply.
Chen Tie shook his head and smiled bitterly. In the past, people like Zhou Jiande were shorter than Han Yan and Xiahou Po. Even his eldest brother Chen Xu looked down on them. Now it's better, Han Yan and Xiahou Po are dead, and his eldest brother Chen Xu
Xu Ye was angry, so Zhou Jiande and others naturally stepped forward. However, Chen Tie was quite happy that Zhou Jiande could join him, which at least meant that he was quite popular.
After walking forward for a while, a big red horse stopped Chen Tie's carriage again. Guan Qiang jumped down from it gracefully and patted the carriage driver hard: "Chen Tie, I heard that you are also going to Louguan Academy to study?
Do you want the brothers to tell you the secrets inside? Forget about anything else, I still need a table in Cuixiang Building."
Chen Tie smiled and nodded in agreement. Guan Qiang smiled: "You are very wise! Much better than your elder brother. When you get to the academy, your brothers will protect you. Who dares to bully your brothers and stand up for you!" After that, he turned over.
He mounted his horse and disappeared in a flash.
Two people in a row came to talk to him, which he had never seen before. Chen Tie was still a little happy, which meant that these dudes accepted him. When he saw the door of his house, he saw another carriage. Getting out of the carriage, the door hurriedly
He reported that he was waiting for Li Suicheng's son Li Shizong to pay his respects, so he was waiting in the hall.
Chen Tie couldn't believe it, what happened today? Everyone came to get close to him, could something happen to him? As he thought, he walked in. Li Shizong had been here for a long time, and in the tea bowl
There was half a bowl of tea left, and several pieces of snacks on the table were missing.
"Honor Tangyi, please be polite!" Seeing Chen Tue coming in, Li Shizong quickly saluted.
Chen Jie saw the ceremony and said, "I don't know why Young Master Li is here?"
Li Shizong sighed: "Do you want to listen to the truth or lies, Marquis Tangyi?"
"Oh? What is the truth? What is a lie?"
Li Shizong smiled slightly: "The lie is that I came to visit you because I admire your knowledge and style. Please give me some advice."
"Then it's better to listen to the truth!"
"The truth is, if someone asked me to go around with the Tangyi Marquis, the Tangyi Marquis' surname must be Chen. The Tonghou is the founding hero of the country. No one can erase the contribution of Yuzhang.
Because of our relationship, we rarely interact with Tang Yi Hou. However, we all have similar backgrounds, and Tang Yi Hou is also planning to go to college. So we are classmates. In the future, we will work together for the Han Dynasty and get to know each other better, so there will be less barriers, so as not to create gaps.
"
Chen Tie frowned: "Master Li said there was someone? Can you tell me who it is?"
Li Shizong smiled: "Can't the Marquis of Tangyi think of it?"
"Mr. Su?"
Li Shizong nodded: "Mr. Su said that when the Imperial Academy was founded, the Marquis Tangyi was the first person to donate money. For this reason, His Majesty also said that the Marquis Tangyi knew the general idea! There was nothing the Marquis Tangyi could do to stop what Taizu Dou did.
, did not participate, which shows that Tang Yi Hou is public-spirited. Mr. Su also said that Tang Yi Hou was the first good person he met when he came to Chang'an. Since Tang Yi Hou is interested, we need to get closer and closer."
Chen Tie didn't know what to say for a while, so he stood up and bowed to Li Shizong: "Master Li, no, Brother Li, thank you Brother Li for telling the truth. Chen Tie is at fault! Sons don't talk about their mother's faults. In the past,
My mother has done something wrong to you, and I am willing to try my best to make up for it. I also hope that Brother Li will tell you that if you need me in the future, I will do my best!"
Li Shizong said: "I will convey the heartfelt words of Marquis Tangyi to me. Mr. Su is indeed right. Marquis Tangyi is indeed worthy of friendship!"
Chen Tong also smiled: "Mr. Su is so kind! Mr. Su allows all brothers to come at this time. I dare not forget this kind of kindness."
"Oh? Is it possible that someone else came before me?"
Chen Jidao said: "Pingquhou and Guan Qiang stopped me on the road. If Brother Li hadn't told me the reason, I would still have been kept in the dark. We will meet at Cuixiang Tower tonight. Can Brother Li also go with us?"
?”
"These two boys! We are invited by Tang Yi, how can we not go?"
The shopkeeper of Cuixiang Building in Bell and Drum Towers was waiting at the door early. He knew very well who was coming today, and Su Ren, the boss behind the scenes, also told him that they must make it more pleasant. So the elegant room on the third floor came in handy.
.We have seen the singing and dancing brought from the teaching workshop, the storytelling and juggling brought from several nearby wine shops are also the best, and even the first pipa player of June Red was invited to join in the fun.
Zhou Jiande and Guan Qiang were the first to arrive. They didn't dare to make any mistakes here, but in order to show their status, they spoke loudly: "Shopkeeper Wang, are you prepared properly?"
The shopkeeper said quickly: "Everything is ready. I guarantee that all the princes and young masters will be satisfied."
"That's good. Today we are waiting for guests in Tangyi, so there is no need to save money for him."
The shopkeeper smiled: "Don't worry, Pingquhou, there will be no shortage!"
"Hahaha, that's good!"
It was just getting dark, and everyone who could come came. Chen Ye and Li Shizong were the last ones to arrive. The moment they stepped into the private room, Chen Ye was a little confused. He basically knew everyone here, including almost everyone in Chang'an.
A dandy. At worst, he is a prince or the son of a prince. These people are considered to be the future of the Han Dynasty. If you can stay with these people, many things will be easy to handle in the future.
Thinking back to the past, when the two brothers Chen Tie and Chen Xu were walking on the road, these people were respectful when they met, but Chen Tie could see that they were more afraid of Princess Guantao behind him, and instead treated the two brothers with contempt and disdain.
In his heart, at that time, Chen Jie was always worried about what would happen to their brotherhood if his mother, Princess Guantao, was no longer around.
Chen Tie wanted to cry, but Zhou Jiande laughed: "Why, Tang Yihou can't bear it before it's time to pay the bill? I asked shopkeeper Wang, today's expense is only a thousand dollars, so don't cry!"
Everyone laughed, and Chen Tie could tell that many of them were fake smiles. However, this was just the beginning, and he still had time to make up for it.
Su Ren clasped his hands behind his back and appeared behind Chen Tie: "The money for the Tangyi Hou is not enough, so the common people will pay for it!"
Su Ren's arrival immediately caused a sensation. Everyone in Chang'an knew that Su Ren rarely attended private banquets. Counting on fingers, only Dou Ying and Guan Fu could pull Su Ren over, and the others, even the Taiwei and
None of the imperial censors invited Su Ren. Today, a group of Chang'an dandies were having a banquet, and everyone felt excited that Su Ren could come.
Gongsun He said with a smile: "I won't even come out if I'm beaten to death. I only come with my mouth today!"
Who are Li Danghu, Wei Qing, Gongsun He, and Gongsun Ao? They are brothers to His Majesty! As soon as they arrived, the scene on the third floor of Cuixiang Tower got a little out of control!
Before everyone could sit down, a dark figure appeared at the door, lifting the curtain above his head to reveal his face. Everyone who saw it stood there stupidly, unable to say a word for a long time. (Unfinished)
