Chapter Five, Brothers Ascend

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

He had been lying down for more than ten days, and was indeed extremely weak. After getting out of bed and walking just a few steps, he felt his hands and feet go weak, so he had no choice but to lie down again. The Dugu family had been vigilantly watching over their son for more than ten days. After the son woke up, although they learned that he had lost his memory, he was mentally clear, which relieved their worries. At that moment, the fatigue of the body could no longer be suppressed, and they had to temporarily leave their son to rest.

Yang Tian became increasingly curious about the era he was in, spending more than half an hour questioning the two maidservants. Ah Xiang and Ah Lan were the personal maids of the Dugu family, having watched Yang Tian grow up since childhood. They believed that Yang Tian was still the same young master as before, merely having forgotten things. In order to awaken the young master's memories, they answered all of Yang Tian's questions without reservation.

Yang Tian deliberately furrowed his brows, as if he were straining to recall something. After a long while, he sighed and said: "I feel a sense of familiarity when I see the two sisters, but I just can't remember their names. Please tell me, and I will make sure to remember the names of the two sisters in the future"

He looked at the maid on the left, who bowed her head and smiled gently, and quickly waved his hand. The maid hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, what is your command?"

It is now March, and the weather has turned warm. Ah Xiang is wearing a short top that exposes half of her arms. Although there is a ribbon tied around her chest, it has loosened significantly, revealing a large expanse of fair skin. Her ample bosom trembles and shakes as she claps her hands.

Yang Tian felt a wave of dizziness; there was a prince and there were servants, clearly indicative of a feudal society. However, wasn't it said that the moral codes of feudal society were very strict? Yet these two maidservants not only wore short sleeves, but also seemed unconcerned about exposing a large area of their chests. Unfortunately, Yang Tian glanced at his own small arms and calves and could only let out a sigh

Pu Liuru Jian felt greatly relieved; although his son had always been honest and kind-hearted, he was rather dull in nature. Now, he seemed like a completely different person. It appears that this injury was not in vain: "Good, good, it is indeed my son Yang Jian."

The maid on the left let out a series of delicate giggles: "The young master’s mouth can now be compared to the second young master’s. Let me tell you, my name is Axiang, and she is Alan."

Yang Tian's greatest wish is to quickly understand his current situation, but his body does not allow him to move freely. He can only slowly extract information from those around him. Just now, facing the Dugu family, Yang Tian and the book did not dare to act rashly. A mother knows her child best; although he pretends to be foolish, if he is discovered, it would be disastrous. Moreover, judging from the Dugu family's decisive handling of matters, it is clear that she is a shrewd woman, and Yang Tian does not dare to take risks.

Yang Tian was immediately filled with joy; his sister was the Crown Princess, which meant he could at least claim the status of a relative by marriage. Reflecting on the past, when he had to run around trying to earn a little money, Yang Tian was almost moved to tears. He felt grateful to the heavens for allowing him to be reborn into a wealthy family.

Yang Tian soon learned about the circumstances of the household he inhabited. His father was a duke, and he had five brothers and one sister. Except for the eldest sister, who was born of his father's former concubine, the other five brothers were all full siblings.

Axiang patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death; I thought I had offended the young master somewhere."

Yang Tian quickly got out of bed, regardless of whether it was appropriate or not, and said, "Child pays respects to you, Father."

Pu Liuru's voice was very loud, and Yang Tian was suddenly awakened. Rubbing his eyes, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a yellow embroidered robe, adorned with a purple sash, a golden sword at his waist, and a pair of six-harmony boots entering through the door. At a glance, Yang Tian recognized him as his nominal father; otherwise, who would dare to dress in such a manner

Yang Tian smiled and asked, "What is your sister's name?"

Pu Liuru, a high-ranking minister of the Great Zhou, was busy with affairs of state. Seeing that his son had nothing pressing to attend to, he offered a few words of comfort before leaving Yang Tian's room

Yang Tian, having amnesia as an excuse, is not afraid that the middle-aged man before him will notice any differences from the past, and said: "When the child wakes up from a deep sleep, many past events are forgotten, but the love of his parents is something he cannot dare to forget."

Axiang and Alan saw that Yang Tian had already fallen asleep and decided not to disturb him. In the afternoon, after Pu Liuru Jian returned from court and learned that her beloved son Shu had awakened, she was instantly overjoyed and immediately went to Yang Tian's room. Before she even entered, Pu Liuru Jian's voice was already heard: "Di Fa, how are you?"

However, the Dugu family still did not feel at ease about their son, so they kept two personal maids by his side. At this moment, the two maids were sitting not far from the bed, their eyes wide open as they watched Yang Tian. The news that the eldest young master had forgotten the past had reached the ears of the two maids, and they were curious to see how the eldest young master was different from before.

Pu Liuru Jian walked to Yang Tian's bedside, examining her son from top to bottom, and nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that you are awake, Di Fa, you have indeed shown some propriety."

Not long after Pu Liuru Jian had just left, the door was opened again, and a seven or eight-year-old child entered. The child was handsome and clever-looking, exuding an air of intelligence. Yang Tian had already learned the detailed situation of the household from the two maids, A Xiang and A Lan, and knew that this child must be the second son, nicknamed A Mo. Sure enough, as soon as the child reached his side, he called out: "Brother, you are awake"

The maid immediately burst into laughter: "So the young master truly forgot the past, however, the young master cannot call me sister, for the young master's sister is the crown princess"

Yang Tian lay on the bed, boredly examining the various carvings on the bed's canopy, contemplating how much this bed would be worth if it were shipped back home

Only when asked what year it is, the two maidservants replied that it is the fifth year of the reign of Da Zhou Jian De. Yang Tian was not well-versed in history and only knew that there was a Da Zhou in the Investiture of the Gods. Looking at the furnishings in the room, it was evident that the production level of that time could not have reached such standards. However, Yang Tian was quite carefree and, unable to make sense of it, chose to let it go. Not only was he a relative by marriage, but he was also the eldest son of the Duke of Tushu. Now that he had been reborn as a child of high-ranking officials, what was there to be afraid of. It was evident that the production level of that time could not have reached such standards.

Yang Tian set aside all his worries. His body had just awakened not long ago, and after speaking for such a long time, he felt quite fatigued, soon falling asleep again

Yang Jian. Yang Tian then learned his father's name; he had a vague impression of this name but could not grasp its essence. A thought flashed through his mind: fortunately, he did not have to change his name. However, the young woman called him 'Xian Di Fa', while his father referred to him as 'Di Fa'. Yet, his father clearly had the surname Yang. What could this mean?

Yang Tian slapped the bed with his hand, startling the two maids greatly, leaving them unsure of what had happened. He then said, "I was wondering why you two sisters seemed so familiar; it turns out you are Sister Axiang and Sister Alan."

Another maid approached: "Young Master, do you know my name?"

The two maids before him were suitable for engaging in conversation. Yang Tian shifted his gaze from the top of the bed to the two maids. Both were dressed in short jackets and fitted long skirts, with high-waisted designs tied with ribbons, giving an impression of elegance and slenderness. Yang Tian secretly praised them, noting that the beauty of these two maids could rival that of celebrities.
