EUNUCH SU EUNUCH SU - Chapter 58
When Su Jin returned to Jingxiang, the first thing he saw was Huiming in a green coat holding a paper umbrella, standing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree outside the house, looking forward to Xinglongmen.
Su Jin did not dare to confirm for a while, but when she recognized that it was Huiming, she hurried forward a few steps, hurriedly pulled her into the door, closed the door to block the wind and snow outside, and then spoke. Said: “It is snowing outside, how can you stand under a tree?”
Huiming looked at him, but only smiled gently with her mouth pursed. Although she was standing outside the door, but holding her hands, holding the stove, and holding the umbrella, her body was clean, unlike Su. Jin, this way back from Yuqian, only a thin snow fell.
The two stood under the eaves of the door. Huiming looked at it, took out the veil, patted the snowflakes on his head and shoulders, and said, “My father-in-law arrived earlier today. Is it tiring to be an errand?”
Su Jin was taken aback when he heard the words. His errand was normal, but after this afternoon, the response from the Imperial Front really exhausted all of his energy. Until now, when I think about it, I feel a little exhausted. At this moment, he just shook his head: “It’s all the errands that I’m used to doing, it’s nothing, but you, how can you wait outside, but something?”
“Where can I do anything?” Huiming lowered his head, looked up at Su Jin, and expressed a kind of sincere apology: “I just remembered that I was angry with my father-in-law a few days ago. I think of it now. Shouldn’t, I feel that I should apologize to my father-in-law.”
This is because when Huiming was in Jingfangzhai today, he listened to Yugan in detail about the imprisonment he suffered when he entered the palace. No matter which kind, Huiming just put it on Su Gonggong. , The heart that was already distressed was trembling, and when she recovered, she felt that Su Gonggong had done such a thing, but she had angered him like that before, and realized that she was really too much.
More than ten days have passed since this matter, Su Jin might as well pick it up again suddenly, look down with some surprise, and then clearly see the expression of pity and regret from Huiming’s eyes.
In fact, Su Jin has always disliked other people’s pitiful sighs. His Majesty’s Queen, King Concubine Rui, Mother Xu and other court people who knew about him, even including those who were old and frail, didn’t care about the world, just took it seriously. It’s a pity to simply pity him the first mother and the queen mother. Every time he encounters such a verbal expression, although he can remain unmoved on his face, he only feels that some secret resistance and even nausea are in his heart.
He originally thought that even Huiming should be no different. At this stage, he doesn’t need the mercy of those who are weak.
When he really met at this moment, he suddenly realized that no, Huiming was different from them.
Maybe it’s because Huiming isn’t the hypocrisy that is so high-ranking, that he has nothing to do with himself with a sigh, but the pain that really comes from the heart, wishing to replace him with his body, or maybe there is nothing else, just because it is Huiming——
Under her gaze, Su Jin actually felt that she had suddenly made people hit the softest place, and her heart was suddenly astringent, as if she had returned to her childhood and was punished by her grandfather. He was fine when he was alone, but when he returned to the house and asked his mother to ask his mother softly, he couldn’t help but feel wronged.
It’s just that, as time has passed, he is no longer the grandson of the government office who doesn’t understand everything and can rely on his family’s relatives…
Su Jin came back to her senses, dodged her gaze under this gaze, and led Huiming to the back of the house along the corridor, but the slight trembling tone still exposed his mood somewhat: “Good. Yes, why did you mention this again? It was originally my own opinion, and it caused you to be punished. You should blame me.”
“I don’t blame the father-in-law because I was punished at Niang Niang!” Hui Ming couldn’t help but distinguish after following.
Since the two people had spoken out on the palace road for a long time and got Su Gonggong’s promise, Huiming has realized that they have already picked the relationship between the “food” to the point, and they can already accept a little more respect than before. , Get closer.
In fact, after these ten days of going in and out together, sleeping in a house and eating at a table, the two of them are indeed no longer as alienated as before. Huiming is talking to Su Jin now. They all seem to be much closer and more casual than in the past: “I am angry with you because Grandpa Su disregarded his own fate and wanted to send me out of the palace.”
While they were talking, the two also arrived at the door of the house. Su Jin opened the door in one step and turned her head. Huiming’s eyes looked warmer: “You are right, I was wrong.”
Huiming became embarrassed again, and only lowered his head, half complaining, half chatting, “Why is the father-in-law still so polite?”
This is what Huiming has been quite caring about these days. Compared with her total relaxation and randomness, Grandpa Su seems to be cautious about something. He always speaks and acts with a kind of deliberate politeness. , It seems that there is always a layer behind.
However, although Huiming has lived for two lifetimes, he really has no experience with this man and woman. Therefore, although he feels something is wrong, he can’t tell it. It’s just that Su Gonggong’s nature is such a gentleman. Fang, she was too anxious.
Just like this moment, after speaking, Su Gonggong asked her gently and politely if she ever had a meal? After the waiting two sat down, they went to the window to sift a cup of tea before the rain.
Huiming took it, and Su Jin sat down on the other end, just as if she had something to say: “I have something to tell you.”
Grandpa Su’s expression was very serious, and Hui Ming couldn’t help but straighten up: “What’s the matter?”
Su Jin lowered her eyes again, stared at the tea bowl in her hand, and slowly said, “I will send someone to find out about the situation of your parents at this time. You can want to see you.”
At home, parents…
When Huiming heard this, he didn’t respond to his face, and for a moment he only showed a bit of helplessness and sorrow.
Even though the palace ladies enter the palace, they are not completely disconnected from the home. According to the rules, there will always be three or five days free in July each year. Anyone at home who comes to see can be outside Xinglong gate. , See the last time under the custody of Mother Palace and the guards.
Huiming’s family relies on growing fruit trees and vegetables for a living. In addition to her parents, there are eldest brothers and younger siblings. She can be said to have a large population. She still remembers that when she first entered the palace, her parents brought them back. My eldest brother came to see her, but when it came to the second time, only my parents hurried over on the last day and told her that the eldest brother had already married, the sister-in-law was pregnant, and the younger sister came to talk about marriage. At his age, the youngest brother in the family is still a child who has trouble walking, and if the elder brother and sister-in-law have also given birth to grandchildren, they will only get more and more busy.
Moreover, the family is far away from this place, come to see her outside the palace, and even prepare to take the road, have to toss for four or five days, even if Morty delays the work in the garden, the expenses on the road are also a lot.
Although Huiming was not very old at that time, he was always sensible. After hearing this, how could he make his parents work so hard and visit her every year? At the moment, I just said that she was good everywhere, and I hurriedly stuffed the one or two months of money I had saved in the past two years, and specifically asked, since the family is busy, I don’t have to come to see her again, and wait for her to pass the twenty-five year period. If you can catch up with grace and let her go back, you can ask someone to send a letter to them and take her home directly.
The parents responded, and the three of them reluctantly told each other, and they just dispersed.
Although Huimin said so, she was only a twelve-year-old girl at the time, so how could she not want to be home? At the beginning, she still had some faint expectations. Every July, when the maids asked them to have their relatives visit the little palace maids, she always listened carefully to see if she had her own name, but in the past three years, father Mother really didn’t come again once, and after a long time, she also stopped the idea.
After a long absence, even the blood relatives will always be negligent. Even Song Huiming, who is really fifteen years old, is already like this. Not to mention that at this moment, she is now living again. After decades, she is really connected to the home. The names of the parents are already vague, and they are unfilial. If it weren’t for Su Gonggong mentioned at this moment, Huiming would really not think of his parents and relatives.
“My father and mother, can you show yourself well?”
But now that it was mentioned, after Huiming suddenly, he couldn’t help but feel a little worry, and only leaned forward to ask.
Su Jin nodded, picking up a good one and said: “The body is still strong. The years are good. Your eldest brother has a son and a daughter under his knees. Now your sister-in-law is pregnant again. Your sister, listen. It is said that the marriage has been settled. It is a family in the town, who runs a shop and is well-off. After waiting two more years, he will marry.”
Hearing this, Huiming couldn’t help showing a few smiles from his heart: “It’s only a few years now. I have one son and one daughter, and I have another one? Sister-in-law is really amazing. My parents must be very happy.”
“I just heard that your eldest brother hurt his leg and raised him for a while.” Su Jin said, seeing Huiming’s expression and quickly added: “It’s okay for the body, it just cost some money.”
That being said, Huiming was ten years old when he entered the palace. How could he not know that his family has always been poor, but just ask for food and clothing. Now there are more people in the family, and the older brother has hurt his leg. I am afraid it will be more difficult. Thinking about it, he quickly raised his head: “I’ve saved some money, and the empress empress has rewarded me for the coral head noodles. It should also be worth a lot of money. Can Grandpa Su give it to them?”
Su Jin agreed at first, and then slowly began to talk about the topic: “Your parents are getting older, and they are working hard all day in the mountains. According to me, it is better to approach Beijing and wait until you see you. Noodles, you personally give them better.”
Huiming finally noticed something was wrong, she raised her head and stared at the opposite father Su.
Sure enough, Su Jin avoided her gaze by drinking tea, and only lowered her head and said: “If you don’t rest assured, I can also send you out of the palace. You are reunited with your family. Waiting for me outside is the same. .”
“Duke Su!”
Huiming frowned slowly, and his words were a bit serious: “You promised me, you don’t want to send me out anymore!”
“Naturally! If you don’t want it, I will definitely not force it!” Su Jin quickly distinguished, afraid that she would misunderstand it.
Hearing this familiar promise, Huiming finally recovered. So, if she saw her family and wanted to go out on her own, it would be fine?
Huh… Huiming raised her eyebrows. How did she feel that Grandpa Su was a complete gentleman?
