Brother Donggong

It seems that the prince has not gone crazy for the past two years.

He's pretty quiet when he's not mad.

The eyes are not so scary anymore.

It was foggy in Yongjing in the morning, and my eyesight was not particularly good. People in the garden in front of me felt like shadows.The prince likes to wear dark and heavy-colored robes. Today he is wearing a dark red brocade robe. At first glance, it looks like black. I thought he was wearing his own dragon robe.

The darker the robe, the paler the face.

He was originally white, as if carved out of ice and snow, as if the sun could roast him and melt him.

I've thought about it before, but I've seen him bask in the sun for three full hours, and he's still alive with his beard and shadow, so I know that my thoughts are daydreaming at best.

The prince has changed a lot in the past two years, just like changing a person.

He is now like a mold, rubbed out according to the emperor's image imagined by Sima Guang's stone head.Going to bed late and getting up early, unsmiling, with big eyes and dull eyes, you will never try to see his emotions from his face, speaking usually kills many birds with one stone.

The current Wen Zhan is simply an example of the emperor's policy.

The prince doesn't seem to wear a soft sword in recent years, at least I haven't seen him hold a sword again, but I definitely don't feel at ease, because he now has eighteen more shadow guards!That is to say, he was standing in front of me alone, and there were eighteen other guys hiding around that I couldn't see. If I was flying small knives, stones, bricks, briquettes, and donkey dung, I would have to endure it. If I don’t know what’s going on, I’ll kick my legs, otherwise I’ll just seal my throat with a sword, and then I’ll have to go to Lord Yama to reason.

The prince walked over slowly, with very light steps, the corners of his robe pressed against the peonies in my garden, as if floating in the clouds.

I suddenly felt a chill on the back of my neck.

The prince walked to the table in front of me, looked at the white porcelain plates I had placed, and said casually, "Brother Dahuang, I haven't seen you for a long time, so don't come here to be safe."

I quickly said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince forgets a lot, we met in Weiyin Palace yesterday."

"is it?"

The prince raised his eyebrows, somewhat disapproving.

"I guess I remembered wrongly."

I thought to myself, can I remember this wrong?

Yesterday I knelt at his feet and took it from him with my own hands to stamp the "Imperial Decree" stamped with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

This thing doesn't happen every day, can he not remember?

That's weird.

He takes a step forward, I take a step back.

I backed away to where he couldn't slap me.

The prince didn't even look at me, but lowered his eyes and looked at my breakfast.

A plate of steamed stuffed buns, a bowl of marinated steamed buns, plus a few honey triangles and two walnuts.

The rough and vulgar snacks on the roadside are all things that are not available in the palace.

"How is the eldest brother living here?"

"it is good."

"That's good." He took another half step around my table, thinking to himself, "Prince Qi's mansion, this is the best mansion in Yongjing North City. Sima's private residence later became a residence, and it has been repaired several times, so I hope that the Great Emperor will live in the habit."

Before the Shen family ransacked their home, they were a well-known century-old wealthy family, and their status was higher than that of a prince!

Shen Shijie was the great Sima, sealed the town as Marquis of Chuan, and died young, leaving behind a huge family business and a group of worthless dudes. Copying the house, this house has become my father's palace.

The feng shui in the north of Yongjing is very good, and the people who build houses here are either rich or noble.Every house is a deep house, but the main entrance of my house is a full attic higher than the main houses of ordinary wealthy families.Moreover, ordinary mud bricks were not used in the construction, but gold bricks fired from the green mud by the lakeside of Taihu Lake were used. They were as hard as falling and as bright as a mirror of water. This kind of gold bricks usually paved the ground for the main hall where my father faced up. There is Taizu, Taizong's imperial mausoleum and Taimiao.

The main entrance of the house is made of yew wood, brushed with tung oil to prevent moths.

In fact, the level of sophistication is even better than my Yuxi Palace.

If I am not used to living in this house, then I really have no place to live in the habit.

However, the most depressing thing for me is that the house I am used to living in may not be mine.

I nodded quickly, "I'm used to it, I'm used to it, I'm very used to it."

The prince circled around and finally picked up a stone bench, looked at it, and sat down. His fingers pulled my plate and poked my meat buns so badly that he said, "My lord Brother, I’m here, let’s cut straight to the point and tell the truth. You remove the two white flags outside your gate first. It says, ‘The palace of the King of Prayer is the most important place, and no one is allowed to enter! Heads will be cut off, feet will be cut off!’ I know you want to avoid those people from the household department and not let them in. But after all, it is unlucky to hang a white banner outside your door, it is prepared for those who have funerals in their families."

I quickly bowed my head, "Yes, yes, yes, what the crown prince taught me is that I will have someone withdraw it."

The prince nodded and continued, "Then you owe the treasury 20 silver."

I quickly said, "Prince, this matter is actually..."

He waved his hand and refused to let me speak. He said, "I know what you think! You think that the treasury and the treasury belong to Dazheng, the Tian family, and the father, so it doesn't matter if you spend whatever you want." Yes or no?"

……

I'm not that idiot yet!

I was in urgent need of a sum of money, and it happened that the money from the imperial father's internal treasury was used to buy food for disaster relief, so I took 20 from the household department.Ye Xuan, Minister of the Household Department, really belonged to the prince. If he didn’t want to borrow it, I was going to talk about it. In the end, I said that I should make a written document anyway, so I had to take the courtyard of the palace that I just got as a mortgage.

I didn't take the written documents seriously at first, thinking that the money in the imperial father's internal treasury would be returned to the household department as soon as there was turnover.Who would have thought that my father would suddenly be plotted against, poisoned into a coma, and then the prince would directly seal up the treasury and internal treasury, so that I really didn't have any cash to give them, so they would come over every few days and ask me to pay back the money, or move.

I used to live in Yuxi Palace all the time, but yesterday the crown prince issued a handwritten order to leave Yuxi Palace immediately, and those who violated it will be charged with adultery in the harem, how dare I go back.

That being said, it seems that what I do is not very smart!

Ha ha.

The prince said again, "Brother Emperor, you are now the prince of a country, and your status is no higher than before. You can't do whatever you want when you were young. It's the nature of father and son to spoil you and spoil you. ..."

"stop!"

I was itchy by what he said.

It turned out that when he was crazy, at least he spoke bluntly, but now I can understand two of the three sentences he says, which is considered good.

I picked out my ear, and the prince took a walnut in his hand.

I sat opposite him, Wen Zhan didn't look at me, but continued to look at the walnut in his hand.

I said, "Your Highness, I can barely understand what you said. But I will settle an account with you. You see, this house has good feng shui, good location, good materials, and good intentions. There is no haunting, no The ground is sinking, and there are no old corpses in the deserted house, but it is really useless for you to take this house!"

The crown prince raised his crow-like eyebrows, "Oh? I would like to hear more about it."

"From the land price of this house, the construction materials, to the exotic flowers and plants inside, the estimated value is about 10 taels of silver. If you add those antique calligraphy and paintings, it will definitely be worth 20 silver. Not to mention anything else, just say 32 man A pair of Wang Xizhi's "Leaving Mountain Sacrifice" hanging in the main hall of the Tuoluo Flower Pavilion can be worth 10 taels of silver!"

The prince stroked the walnut lightly with his fingers, but said nothing.

I continued, "It's just that even if you take it, you can't exchange it for silver. Because no one dares to buy it! Ordinary merchants will definitely not go to Yongjing Beicheng to buy the prince's mansion, and the Ministry of Households will not sell it. As for those officials and eunuchs , no one wants to touch this bad luck."

The prince looked at me, "Mold?"

I nodded, "Yes, if the official dares to buy this house, I will ask Cucumber to take two people to block the gate, swear every day, and let them scold the eight generations of the family's ancestors to the bottom! What a shame! Let them scold and talk about bad luck! They are all scholars and decent people, and no one can stand this."

The prince said blankly, "Aren't you afraid that people will beat and drive your people away?"

"Hit? Haha, that's what I'm waiting for! They can fight if they can. It's better if I kill someone who has the ability. This matter will be settled! If they can't kill people, then they don't want peace!"

I picked up a bun, stuffed it in my mouth, and said in a daze, "I've thought about it a long time ago, anyway, I can't have no place to live! I'm asking for money now..."

I glanced at the prince and was surprised that the walnuts in his hand were gone.

I said, "Damn..."

The prince also looked at me, his cheeks puffed up.

He stuffed the walnuts in his mouth.

I said, "Damn... I won't give it either!"

Click it!

The prince crushed the whole walnut, the walnut with the thick shell!

My little heart trembled when I heard it!

Click again!

The prince chewed again, then once, twice, three times...

He chewed the whole walnut raw.

It was as if the walnut was between his lips and teeth, beheaded, veins broken, bones removed, and finally ground into powder, completely wiped out!

The prince chewed bit by bit without saying a word, just grinded and chewed so carefully and silently, and finally, until everything turned into powder, he swallowed it whole.

I was horrified when I heard it.

After a long while, he said, "Then, what does Brother Dahuang mean?"

"Uh……"

I was stunned, almost didn't know what to say, I was a little tongue-tied.

I was completely taken aback by the walnuts he chewed just now.

What has he been eating these years?

How did the teeth become so good?

I remember that he liked to eat sweets when he was a child, he had a mouth full of bad teeth, and he held his cheeks and screamed for pain all day.

The prince said again, "Brother Dahuang means..."

"Ah! Oh... that... I wonder if we can allow a little more time."

"How long is that! How long does Big Brother want Xiao Wang to wait?"

-

how long?

... Tell me, how long do you want me to wait?

A lifetime... is it enough?

who said it?

Who said it to me?

I seem to have heard similar words, where I heard them, and who said them to me, I can't remember how.

I looked at him, and he looked at me.

His eyes are like pickaxe water outside Yongjing, the water waves are clear, but the water is black, with silvery sparkling light, where the peach blossoms are reflected, and the red lotus in the Forbidden Palace is reflected...

I……

I quickly closed my eyes, shook my head, and when I opened them again, everything around me seemed to have changed, but it didn't seem to.

The crown prince sat across from me, and asked me casually, "There must be a limit to what you owe, brother Dahuang, what do you mean?"

"Seven days! I only want seven days!"

I say.

"That's good." The prince stood up and said with a smile, "After seven days, Xiao Wang will be waiting for the good news."
