Daily Extras (1) Ruyi
Father Su brought back a child.
Since His Majesty's enthronement, Eunuch Su, who is the commander of the Neifu Division, has become more and more busy, and because the little majesty's situation is different from ordinary people, he does not need to be by the side all the time. On the job, it is very rare in the Hall of Gande.
It is precisely because of this that Huiming only got the news from Lu'an when he came back from His Highness Gande's duty.
At noon, Eunuch Su brought a five-year-old girl back. He didn't say where she came from, but only asked to take good care of her.
Lu'an served Hui Ming and took off his cloak, and explained to her: "Looks like a timid and well-behaved, lonely, thin and pitiful, but quite handsome in appearance, and she was placed in the front yard, aunt can be Want to see you?"
Hui Ming thought for a while: "A five-year-old child, what can I ask, since Father-in-law Su said it, I will take good care of it, that is, can dinner be delivered? Add a few more soft and sweet dishes, so that it can be restrained. of."
Today is different from the past. Now Eunuch Su, as the commander and envoy of the Neifu Division, is under the imperial decree of the late emperor, and has the responsibility of secretly monitoring hundreds of officials. Not only in the palace, but also in the outside court when the adults mention it, it is also a fearful existence. Even if you don't mention Eunuch Su, but just say Huiming himself, it is well known to everyone. The five-rank maid of the palace, who was personally appointed by the late emperor, is the most close and dependable maid of the majesty. Her words are almost half of them. Holy will, of course, does not dare to sin.
With such two people, it's not too heavy to pick out any one of them, and that's not enough, they are still in one place!
This is all the more remarkable. Now, at the end of Jingxiang Lane, the seemingly inconspicuous little mansion has long been filled with brocade, crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and many inner officials leading the duty department in the palace, without asking When I went to the palaces of the masters, I was scrambling to run to this Jingxiang Lane. I picked up all the best things and decorations first, and there was no shortage of royal chefs with extraordinary craftsmanship and abilities.
Lu'an responded neatly when he heard the words, and just after serving Hui Ming and tidying up, there was also the sound of Eunuch Su returning from outside.
"Father-in-law came back early today." Hui Ming smiled and greeted Yuanbao next to him: "Have you eaten yet?"
Today's ingots can be used on their own when they are placed outside, but in front of Hui Ming and Su Jin, they are still the same as the former little inner supervisors, just smiling and pleasing and attentive: "I have used it, I have used it. , Master still has some errands to instruct, so I won't disturb Master and aunt to sleep peacefully."
Su Jin turned around, and really explained a few words to Yuanbao. At the end, he said, "It's cold outside, so I have to run all night, go and use a bowl of ginseng tea to go."
Yuanbao complied with great gratitude, bowed and retreated.
Huiming gave Su Jin a bowl of tea, and asked casually, "What's the matter, you want to ask the NPC to go out for a night run in the cold weather?"
Su Jin accepted it, and explained to her in detail as before: "The Kangze snow disaster, hundreds of thousands of silver and grain relief went down, but not one out of ten, Liu'an County, the worst hit, even The county government was washed away by the victims, took off the plaque and used it as firewood, and the county magistrate escaped, and this was the case.
What this "Niangniang" is talking about is the empress empress of the current little majesty, that is, the previous queen Gu, who is three years older than the little majesty, and is now eighteen years old. One month before her death, she was summoned almost every day, and she taught her a full month of hard work by words and deeds. Because of her intelligence and virtue, after their wedding, Eunuch Su and the Neifusi, despite the fact that they were only sent by the emperor himself. But the little majesty can't handle things, and now, most of the government is supported by Queen Gu.
According to Hui Ming's memory in his previous life, after the little majesty's big marriage, although Empress Gu acted decisively, she did not intervene too much in the government. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as Gu Guozhang becoming more and more powerful and even killing the little His Majesty.
Huiming single-handedly took care of the little majesty's growth, and naturally she would never see the old story again, but after she told Eunuch Su about it, after Su Jin thought it over carefully, she avoided her worries: "There were so many good girls in Beijing, you Do you know why His Majesty Xuande chose the noble Gu family?"
Huiming shook his head, Su Jin never perfunctory Huiming because of her lack of understanding of the outside world, and immediately explained to her a little bit of clarity: "Gu's daughter, born in a famous family, but her biological mother died early, in order to take care of her. Brother and sister, I have no choice but to do everything right at a young age, and she is well-rounded, plus she has a smart temperament, and she is a talent that can be created.
Eunuch Su said for a while, then lowered his voice again: "Women in the world have been trapped in the house since childhood, and most of them were taught to be arrogant and submissive. When His Majesty Xuande summoned more than a dozen noble girls of the right age, most of them were panicked and timid. Occasionally, there are a few people who are jealous of the latter, but they will only deliberately be gentle, showing that they can take care of the little highness. , but the Empress Tsunade who can defend the country for her majesty, she has both ambition and courage, and she immediately revealed her intentions to the majesty of Xuande, and only then did she win the eyes of the late emperor."
Su Jin's eyes were clear and clear: "His Majesty Xuande gave me the Minister of Internal Affairs, gave me the authority, and ordered the Gu family to assist the government. , It is against the law of etiquette. If you want to stand on your feet, you must use the name of the present majesty. Since you have to use the name of the majesty, no matter what, you must save the life of your majesty. foundation to stand on.”
Hui Ming understood what Eunuch Su meant. As long as the little majesty is alive and well, Empress Gu is a serious empress, and if Gu Guozhang is replaced, she will be just a married woman in an awkward position, and she will never have the current situation. scenery.
Eunuch Su is also normal, the little majesty is here, he is the confidant of the emperor, and he is as important as a sibling, but if the dragon chair is replaced by another person, I am afraid that the new emperor will be the first to attack him because of the inner care. The inmate who offended many people!
If Eunuch Su and Queen Gu want to harm the little majesty, there is only one possibility, that is, the little majesty no longer trusts them, and even settle accounts after the autumn, and want to take action against them.
But little His Majesty will not.
There is no other emperor who is like the little majesty. He really doesn't care about the power and power, and he doesn't care that he is regarded as a puppet. He just stays in the bedroom all day and plays chess, giving them complete trust. .
The little majesty, who is unable to manage, cannot do without the support of the Gu family and Su Jinhuiming, and they, no matter what the reasons, are determined not to lose such a "monarch" as the little majesty.
In fact, Su Jin's love for Huiming is almost more than his own life. Knowing that Huiming cares about his little majesty, Su Jin will try his best to protect him even if it is only for Huiming, let alone now. It also involves his own future life.
All these things flashed through Hui Ming's heart, and then he turned his head back: "Even the shadow of disaster relief is greedy, and the involvement must be very wide... I'm afraid it will be difficult for the father-in-law to investigate."
Su Jin sat down beside the couch, and sighed, "It's not difficult to find out, but after finding out, it's really easy to convict him, it's really not easy to convict him, we just need to see what our Lady Gu has done. "
Hui Ming ordered Shangshan, and seeing Eunuch Su's appearance, he couldn't help frowning: "It will be New Year's Eve in a few days, but you have to take this errand again. Kang Ze? I'm afraid I won't be able to come back during the Chinese New Year."
"That's not necessary. The silver food for disaster relief, the bottom one doesn't have the guts, and it's almost the same when we find the palace city. Besides, it's not the case that I asked Yuanbao to do it..." Su Jin paused after saying that. As if thinking of something, he turned around and said, "Hui Ming, I have something to tell you."
Eunuch Su was rarely so serious, and Hui Ming couldn't help but straighten up and listened with a straight face.
"It's about the child brought back today..."
Su Jin's subordinates turned the tea lid slightly, obviously a little concerned: "That child's biological mother, it's possible... it's my Su family."
Hui Ming's eyes widened in surprise: "Father-in-law didn't investigate before, all the Su family sent to the Jiaofang..."
Su Jin put the tea cup: "Yes, but according to the letter brought by this child, her biological mother was a concubine from my uncle's concubine's room, because the concubine's room was also born in the land of fireworks, so go ask me. Before the beheading, he taught his daughter to survive. The daughter was older, so he met a son of an official family in the Jiaofang, and gave her money to report the sudden death to the Jiaofang. In fact, he was secretly picked up and followed this man. When he was released, he gave birth to this child."
The women in the Jiaofang were different from those outside, because they belonged to the official family and were not allowed to redeem their bodies, but if it was as Eunuch Su said, but it was very important, it was indeed a way to spend money in the dark.
Su Jin's expression turned colder: "That official son, the one I mentioned to you just now, was rushed by the disaster victims to the county magistrate of the county government. They were found alive by officers and soldiers and sent back, but the county magistrate thought they had lost their chastity and wanted to send them to the temple to die. Her mother had no choice, so she wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to me. sent back."
"Where is there such a person! Throwing his own family to the victims, he still has the face to mention chastity!" Huiming listened, and his heart was full of anger. The girl was full of sympathy and concern: "So, this is the cousin and niece of the father-in-law! Now only the child has been brought, what about the sister?"
Although I haven't seen it before, since she is Eunuch Su's cousin, Hui Ming has long regarded her as his own family.
Su Jin's eyes also showed a bit of coldness: "Already sent people to go, but in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, but was locked in the old temple, without food and clothing, and after so long, it's already..."
Hui Ming was also silent for a while when she heard the words. She knew that Eunuch Su cared about her family. Now she finally had a cousin, but she lost her life. She paused, knowing that Eunuch Su would definitely feel sad, so she said: Turning his head: "Fortunately, there is a child, I didn't know her identity before, and I didn't even look at her, I just ordered some soft meals, this child has suffered so much, I think I should find a doctor tomorrow. Take a good look and don't leave any root causes."
"That's what I want to say." Su Jin raised his head and showed some apology to Huiming: "I have ordered Yuanbao to find out the child's life experience. If the letter is true, it is Su after all. The last trace of blood in the family, I always want to raise her up."
Hui Ming nodded: "It should be like this."
"In this case, your eldest brother's little nephew..." Su Jin was a little hesitant, but before he finished speaking, Hui Ming interrupted him directly: "What is he talking about again! I don't want my own children!"
Huiming's parents rely on Su Jin and Huiming, and now they have built a shop house in Beijing. Su Jin even arranged for Huiming's eldest brother, Su Shan, to buy him a value outside the palace in the palace. This is a very important job. Youshui, after two years, the Song family has been regarded as a wealthy family of servants and servants.
The elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Li, was particularly dissatisfied. After seeing Huiming and Su Jin eating each other and giving birth to another child, recently, intentionally or unintentionally, he mentioned that he would adopt his youngest son to them, but Huiming did not make a decision. , but Su Jin said that if Huiming liked it, it was all right to adopt it.
Hearing this, Hui Ming immediately shook his head: "Actually, I don't think we have to adopt a child, if you want, I'd rather raise a few sensible and clever people in that orphan, and I don't want to have another relationship with my eldest brother. The family can't be involved!"
After all these years of getting along day and night, Su Jin could see that Hui Ming's words came from the sincerity, but he did not relax, and even lowered his eyes and blamed himself: "If it wasn't for me, you would have..."
"Eunuch Su!" After so many years of tacit understanding, Huiming already knew what he wanted to say, and immediately stopped him. It was not enough. She paused and moved forward to Eunuch Su's side again. He kissed his cheek: "There is no better person in the world than Eunuch Su!"
Over the years, Huiming has said this to Su Jin a thousand times without hesitation, but every time Su Jin heard it for the first time, his heart was warm and soft, just like every time before. At one time, he replied seriously: "There is no better girl than Song Huiming in the world."
In so many times, when Hui Ming said this, he would sometimes make fun of him and deliberately, but Su Jin was so serious every time, as if he was talking about the truth. In comparison, Hui Ming felt a little embarrassed, but turned around again: "Then what's the name of this child?"
Su Jin said: "I don't want to ask for his biological father's name. If I find out the bloodline of the real uncle, I want to change her surname to Su."
"The surname is Su Hao." Hui Ming also smiled and nodded: "Since the surname has been changed, then even the name will be changed together. In the future, if you ask her to recruit a son-in-law at home, the Su family will have a successor!"
Su Jin nodded: "Put it at home first to see if she is compatible with you. If you don't like it, I will find another place and send someone to take care of her."
"That's what you said! Where can there be an uncle like you!" Hui Ming gave him a strange look, but because the words were full of ironing, he made up his mind to raise this child well in the future: "What is the child's name? it is good?"
Su Jin paused, and his subordinates inadvertently encountered the wishful festival that Huiming made for him, and said, "It's called wishful thinking."
"Su Ruyi."
