EUNUCH SU EUNUCH SU - Chapter 60
Knowing that Huiming’s parents are coming today, Grandpa Su is going to be a errand, but also deliberately avoiding. He didn’t show up today. Even the ingots brought by Huiming’s family were just inviting them into the front room of the front yard. Quit wisely.
There are two couples here, one is slightly older, the other is young and strong. The woman is wearing a blue cloth headscarf, and her abdomen is already slightly curved. It is Huiming’s parents and brothers and sisters.
After all, they are connected by blood. The moment Huiming saw his parents, the parents who had been bleak in memory immediately came to life. Daddy was still so rough and silent, and my mother was just as gentle and affectionate, except that he looked a little older, everything seemed to have not changed at all.
“Father, mother…”
Huiming greeted him, and as soon as he spoke, tears burst into his eyes.
After two lives, Huiming has been separated from his family for several decades. What’s more, it has gone through all kinds of things, even including life and death. The feelings of it are hard for outsiders to tell.
But in the eyes of Song’s father and Song’s mother, Huiming had only been away from home for five years, and only three years had passed since the last meeting. Naturally, she would not be as powerful as Huiming. Song’s mother took a step forward. , Only the corners of her eyes were slightly moist, she reached out and touched her temples, and said with a smile, “You are the one who loves to cry at home. For so many years, just looking at the appearance of a big girl, why is it still a little bit? No change!”
Huiming shed a few tears, but gradually calmed down. After hearing this, she smiled under the comfort of her mother, wiped the corner of her eyes, and turned her gaze to the two behind her after a few gossips.
She naturally knows her eldest brother Song Shan. Although it is a little bigger now, her appearance has not changed. At this time, she looked at the woman who was already showing her arms and said with a smile: “This is my sister-in-law, right? ?”
Song Shan smiled honestly. Before she could speak, the woman took a step forward. She was very familiar with her voice. “Yes, I heard my parents talk about it. I finally saw you this time! I’m your sister-in-law! The surname is Li.”
“Sister-in-law is good.” After staying in this palace for so long, the familiar enthusiasm of others has brought a bit of sincerity. Huiming can still see that although the sister-in-law is smiling, she is just smiling. His eyes still looked general, but he looked a little vain.
However, she and her sister-in-law have no blood relationship. Although she was named by a family, she had never known each other before. This is just the first time we have met. It is very good to be so familiar with her, Huiming. I didn’t mind that much, and after smiling and asking, I hurriedly sat down with everyone and took the tea.
Huiming talked a few words about the situation at home with his family, and then slowly finally turned the conversation to the present.
“Listen to the little father-in-law who sent me here, you are now… with a father-in-law in charge…” When this matter was mentioned, everyone’s expressions were condensed, and Mother Song couldn’t help but press Pressing the corner of his eye, he grabbed Huiming’s palm with distress, and only lowered his voice and asked, “How do you say this? Are you wronged?”
Huiming shook her head quickly, but she also knew that the court lady and the **** were eating. This is really unspeakable outside. At this moment, she just said vaguely: “Really not, don’t worry, I am very well in the palace! I have not been wronged. , And no one insults me, it’s all my own will.”
Mother Song seemed a little surprised, but she paused, as if she was thinking that she was not in her own home, and the walls had ears, and she continued: “The person who came to send the letter to the house just said it was unclear, that you could leave the palace. Isn’t it about twenty-five? It’s still ten years away, what’s the matter?”
Unexpectedly, Grandpa Su had already told his family that she could go out of the palace, but Huiming had a meal, only slowly denying: “Whenever there is a fifteen-year-old rule, it should be tuned/taught from ten. It is exactly the age to work, and there is no such reason outside…”
Mother Song became more confused when she heard the words, and looked around again: “Then what place is this? Why didn’t you see us in the previous place? What’s the matter with the chief executive? Don’t be afraid, kid. Tell your family if you have anything!”
Father Song has been sitting on the side in silence, lowering his head at this moment, but he also expressed his attitude in a deep voice: “Your mother is right. If you can come out, you will come out, and the family will raise you!”
Song Shan, standing behind Mother Song, also nodded. Just as he was about to say something, the Li on the side suddenly pulled him, and took Huiming’s palm and sat down with her: “Oh, father Mother, don’t worry about your sister. The second sister is in the palace, but you are here to enjoy the blessing. Touch the second sister’s hand. Look at this thin and tender one. There is not a single cocoon. Think about the little sister at home. After Dashan injured his leg, Youniang and I were distressed, and it was inevitable that they would have to burn the fire to cook. That hand, compared with the second sister, can’t be seen, where is the blessing of the second sister!”
Huiming was stunned when she heard this, and a faint dislike floated in her heart. After she came out of Ye Ting, she went to the Bureau of Management to work as an embroiderer, but this errand was different from the others, because You have to touch a lot of precious and fine materials, not to mention the cocoons, that is, there are a few nail burrs on the tips of your fingers, or you may scrape the fine materials out of the silk, naturally you will pay attention to them everywhere, and even single hair for them. The ointment of the handguards came down and called Ye Ye to apply. After a long time, all of them are naturally very delicate.
But just from the delicate hands, can we say that embroidered women are enjoying happiness? Naturally, this is not the case. Once in the palace, the people in the palace are all servants serving people. It seems that embroidering women is less expensive than sweeping and other tasks, but in reality it is the same thing. Staying in the embroidery room is a whole night. Not to mention the pain in the waist and back, the embroidery has been done for a long time, and when she is old, few eyes are good. When she calculates it carefully, she has only been in the department for less than three years, but now her eyes are not like others of the same age. So clear.
Huiming was working as an embroiderer in the palace. His parents knew about it, and Li must have heard of it. But now that she is asked to say that, it seems that he doesn’t care about anything in the palace, just comes in to enjoy the blessing.
Huiming pursed the corners of her mouth, just doing what she didn’t hear, pulling her hand out by the motion of getting up, taking out the parcel and box she had prepared and sending them to Song mother: “Don’t worry, mother, I take it seriously. It’s okay, this time I got some rewards from the master, plus the things I’ve saved over the years. I want to give it away to my family. If I want to go out of the palace, I think it’s the messenger who went wrong.”
With that said, Huiming opened the package piece by piece, and the two thick padded jackets were for parents. This was the fact that Huiming had worked in the Department of System two years earlier and used the convenience of being a errand to get together. It’s all the finest cotton material, and the rest, there are a few pieces of veils that she has embroidered scattered in the past few years, and they are worth a little bit of money when sold. The monthly money is because of the sickness of the mother. And he spent a lot of money when begging for Su Gong Gong, and the total amount is only a few taels.
It’s all about it. The most important thing is the coral red head noodles I got from the empress empress when I was in Kunhe Palace last time. Although in the eyes of the master, it is an old thing that is not on the table at all. It is clear that this is really more than a hundred times more valuable than her entire net worth.
Sure enough, as soon as this pair of heads opened, everyone’s eyes widened in amazement, and Li couldn’t help stepping forward, reaching out and touching it piece by piece.
Mother Song returned to her senses, still a little uneasy: “Which master will reward you for such a precious thing.”
Huiming hesitated for a moment, and he still said half of the truth: “The master forgot about me for a while and told me to kneel in the cold wind for an hour. Later, Xu Ye felt sorry for him and rewarded me.”
As soon as these words came out, Mother Song was full of distressed expressions, and she refused to say that Huiming should keep it for herself. The two pushed for a long while, or Father Song clapped: “Since it is the child’s filial piety , Let’s keep it, and wait for Huiming to release the palace in the future, and save to do dowry with her!
As soon as the words came out, Li, who had just shown a bit of joy, became a little dissatisfied, lowered his head and muttered: “Da Shan’s legs are painful for half a night and half a night, the doctor said, you need money, use a few pairs A good prescription can kill the root.”
Originally, I wanted to send home to supplement the household items. Seeing that my parents and brothers heard these words, Huiming quickly said a few words that my brother should heal his legs first. Said: “Bring the little girl next time, I will prepare something for her dowry.”
In fact, because of the same age, Huiming had the best relationship with her sister before entering the palace. After knowing that the marriage was settled, she had already prepared a few exquisite needlework and jewelry for her sister, some of which were given by Su Gong After she was spoiled, she exchanged a few pieces with Yugan, who had received a lot of rewards, but seeing the situation today, she never took it out, thinking about the next time she would directly hand it over to her sister, which would save her life.
Mother Song agreed. Although Jingxiang was outside the palace, she hadn’t left the imperial city yet. It would be difficult to get out if she stayed too late. Therefore, the family didn’t talk too much. After many years of being away from home, everyone in the family was asked about the situation, and the exhortations and instructions were all finished. For a while, it was really speechless.
Even if they are connected by blood, they can be separated for a long time, and there is no crossover in the daily experience, and alienation is an inevitable result.
Because of these reasons, when the ingot reappeared, Huiming didn’t delay too long. After asking where there was a place for resettlement outside, he also got up and sent the long-lost family members out the door.
Seeing the figure of his parents and sister-in-law go further and further away, Hui Ming stood there for a long time, feeling a little unspeakable for a while.
Joy is naturally joyful, but the distance is also real. It’s not all because of the addition of a sister-in-law, Li. It’s just that after such a long time, there is no need to get along with each other day and night. , The intimacy and affection in the memory, but not all of a sudden can be regarded as non-existent.
This is also unavoidable. If she is really just fifteen-year-old Song Huiming, she should be sad at the moment… It’s just that for Aunt Song, who has experienced life, it may be because she didn’t expect too much. Reunion, unexpectedly felt in her heart.
However, this did not prevent her from using this reason to completely dispel the idea of Grandpa Su asking her to leave the palace.
Therefore, when Su Jin returned from work, all she saw was Hui Ming sitting at the door, looking at the light waning moon in the sky, her face was just like the moonlight, revealing countless sadness and sorrow.
