42. Serious old wounds

July 25, 38 years of Kangxi

My baby baby

Give you a little sweetness

Let you sleep well tonight

My little ghost little ghost

Tease your eyebrows

Makes you love the world

Boom, my baby

At this time, there is someone to accompany you

Oops, my darling

Let you know that you are the most beautiful

Boom, my baby

Someone misses you when you're lonely

Oops, my darling

Let you know that you are the most beautiful

"What do you do? Is this to coax Honghui to sleep, or to talk to him? ”

Hearing Yinzhen's voice, I hurriedly turned my head and sighed, and then whispered to him: "I just fell asleep, don't wake him up, otherwise you will toss me again." ”

Yinzhen glanced at Honghui who was lying beside me with his hands behind his back, and when he looked at me again, something similar to pain flashed in his eyes, so fast that I almost couldn't catch it. Before I sat up and touched him, Honghui had already gotten up from the bed and pounced on Yinzhen, shouting Ama in his mouth.

"Didn't you say you slept?" Yin Zhen frowned and caught Honghui hanging on him, but the words he spit out were a little irritable.

Is this outside? It seemed that I was in a bad mood, so I hurriedly hugged Honghui, who was a little overwhelmed, back into my arms, and patted it lightly twice before replying to Yinzhen: "I haven't fallen asleep yet, maybe he heard you just when you came in and talked." If you're in a bad mood, go out first, don't scare him. ”

Yinzhen sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and patted Honghui's head, and fell on his back on the bed.

"Amma, hug ......" Honghui grabbed my hand and climbed to Yinzhen's side, but he lost the timidity just now, and his little head rubbed against the stunned man.

Yin Zhen actually picked him up and put him on his body, and when he spoke again, his voice was much more normal, "What did your mother just say?" ”

Honghui grabbed the buckle on Yinzhen's chest, as if thinking for a while, before humming milkily: "Baby, la-la-la-ya, little ghost." ”

I don't know how much Yinzhen can understand Honghui's way of communication, looking at his stunned expression, he couldn't help laughing, leaned over and lay down beside him, and said softly: "Sing, coax him to sleep." ”

Yinzhen moved his body, put Honghui lying between us, and whispered, "I heard it, you sing it again." ”

He is very strange today, there is a mixture of low and sad feelings that hangs around him, and it is very strong. What's going on? Seeing that he looked patiently waiting, I had to pat Honghui and say, "Close your eyes and sleep obediently." He hummed softly.

Halfway through the singing, I heard Yinzhen say very softly, 'Concubine Min is gone', I was gently patting Honghui's hand and froze in mid-air, but the voice did not stop and still hummed in a low voice, but the tune was actually off, and tears dripped down the cheeks to Honghui's face.

"Eniang......" Honghui Yuan opened his eyes, raised his little hand to my face and gently wiped it. I hurriedly grabbed his hand and soothed, "Good, close your eyes." ”

"You...... You okay? Yinzhen put his hand on my hand holding Honghui, stared at my eyes and asked softly.

I don't know if Yinzhen remembered his mother and adoptive mother because of this, so he reacted like this. I can't guess what Yinxiang's reaction will be when he knows the news, after all, Concubine Min has been very good to him in the past eight years, even if he once said that the woman is not as old as him and just a little girl, but he has also called Eniang for eight years according to the rules.

That gentle and demure woman is so young, how can she say that it is gone. She is no longer in her own Lao Kang to worry about the pain, but Yinzhen will still touch the scene, what about Yinxiang? When my mother passed away, I saw all my brother's sadness in my eyes and felt the same way, but I was afraid that this time he became Yinxiang, and he would not be happy.

Looking at the two similar faces in front of me, I suddenly regretted why I was glad that my brother came here with me, and now I am happy, but I want him to be stimulated like this again.

"Where's Yinxiang?"

"I just went to the Eternal Longevity Palace."

"Yinzhen, you go and see him." I held Yinzhen's hand instead, trying not to be too excited, and only whispered.

"Go later, now is not the time."

I hugged Honghui and leaned my head over and buried it on Yinzhen's shoulder, knowing that he cared about this younger brother from the bottom of his heart, so I felt more down-to-earth in my heart. I really wanted to say that I would go with him, but I was afraid of causing trouble at this time, so I struggled for a long time before I said to him: "You go and see, if he is sad, you don't need to persuade him, just accompany him." ”

Yin Zhen's hand touched my head and whispered, "I know." ”

~~~

"Honghui, do you remember what E-Niang taught you?" I squatted at the gate of Yongshou Palace, I was really a little worried about Honghui in front of me, such a young child, although he looks very smart, but after all, he is only more than two years old, can he understand what I mean?

"E-niang, it hurts." Honghui twisted his body and struggled for a while, only to find that I was holding his arm tightly, and I hurriedly loosened my strength to take him into my arms, and whispered: "Honghui, you must remember Eniang's words, you must remember, now we go into the courtyard, when Eniang calls you, you will say to your thirteenth uncle, do you know?" ”

"Yes, quietly." Honghui winked at me like a ghost, and then I persuaded myself to rest assured and pushed open the courtyard door with him.

The courtyard was dark and unattended, and I didn't even see the shadow of the palace maid and eunuch, if it weren't for the occasional cricket call, I would have thought I had gone to the wrong palace gate. Is this the person who walks away and the tea is cold? Concubine Min went for less than a day, and Yongshou Palace was as quiet as a house, and Lao Kang didn't take care of it.

I carried Honghui to the only room with light, but when I approached the door, I was startled by the scene inside, and hurriedly signaled Honghui not to make a sound and stood sideways behind the door.

There was a coffin parked in the center of the room, and there was ash everywhere, Yinzhen and Yinxiang sat in front of the coffin, one holding a small wine jar in his hand, and there were seven or eight empty jars lying on the ground.

I just asked Yinzhen to come over and accompany him, and he actually brought wine, but didn't my brother drink alcohol?

I kept searching for pictures of my brother drinking in my memory, it seems that they were all in school, and I haven't drunk since my mother is gone, and now I ...... He must have felt very uncomfortable to have a bar with Yinzhen on this night.

I thought it would be good to be here, no matter what the identity of the brother and sister is, it's good that the two brothers and sisters can be together, but I forgot that Yinxiang will have today's experience of losing his mother as a teenager, isn't this ripping out his heart again? In modern times, I can still be with him, but now I only have Yinzhen, a brother who says that he is not far away, to accompany him to drink, what does it feel like in his heart.

A flute sounded melodiously, drifting from the room to the courtyard, and before I could look back, I already heard the melody, which was actually a white moonlight.

I leaned my head on the door panel and listened quietly, Honghui actually stuck to me quietly and did not make a sound. Yinxiang blew it again and again in the room, and I finally couldn't stand and sit on the ground with Honghui in my arms, listening to the familiar melody I couldn't help but sing softly. The flute snapped and then sounded immediately, and soon merged with my voice.

White moonlight, somewhere in my heart

So bright, yet so cold

Everyone, there is a period of sadness

I want to hide, but I want to cover it up

The white moonlight shines on both ends of the world

in the heart, but not beside him

Can't wipe away your tears at that time

The road is too long, and I can't recover forgiveness

I saw Yinzhen walking out of the door and standing in front of me, there was some light in his eyes after drinking, staring at me brightly, and the sadness on his face had not yet dissipated, and there was already a trace of confusion. I didn't know how to face him like this, and I didn't want to say anything at this time, I just wanted to finish singing with Yinxiang's flute, and I wanted to feel this sadness with him, so I closed my eyes and continued to sing softly, but tears flowed down.

You are me, unspeakable wounds

I want to forget, but I can't help but think about it

Like exile, stumbling along the way

Your bondage cannot be released

The white moonlight shines on both ends of the world

The more complete it is, the more lonely it feels

I can't wipe it off, the tears in my memories

The road is too long, how to compensate

White moonlight, somewhere in my heart

So bright, yet so cold

Everyone, there is a period of sadness

I want to hide, but I am growing

The sound of the flute slowly dissipated, and I hugged Honghui tightly and whispered in his ear: "Honghui, go, go to your thirteenth uncle." ”

Honghui actually nodded to me sensibly, stumbled towards the room, I stood up and leaned on Yinzhen, and watched Yinxiang pick up Honghui. Honghui stretched out his little arm around Yinxiang's neck, and said something close to his ear, Yinxiang was stunned for a moment, but hugged Honghui in his arms hard, nodded and said in a dumb voice, smiled and looked at me, I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled at Yinxiang.

"Thirteenth brother, my younger brother is here to accompany you to the wake. The fourth brother and four sisters-in-law are here, but I'm too late to be a younger brother. Yinzhen's voice sounded behind itself, bright and hearty, full of enthusiasm.

Yinxiang walked out of the door and handed Honghui into Yinzhen's hands, before turning to Yinzhen and saying, "The fourteenth brother is here." ”

Yinzhen walked to Yinxiang's side, stretched out his hand and patted him twice on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Of course you have to come at this time, being a brother can't help you anything, it's always okay to accompany you." Thirteenth brother, Concubine Min is gone...... Don't be too sad. ”

Yinxiang nodded and turned to Yinzhen and replied: "Your lover brother has it in mind, but you don't have to accompany it, you and the fourth brother and sister-in-law should go back." Wealth is in the sky, life and death are fate, and it may not be bad for Eniang to go, I am guarding her alone. It's just that the fourth brother and the fourteenth brother are worried, and they really don't want to be brothers. ”

"Brother Thirteen, you and my brother have been studying together for so many years, but this is an out-of-the-box statement. Fourth brother, what do you say? ”

Yinzhen handed Honghui to me and said to me, "You take Honghui back first", and then turned to the two younger brothers and said, "Let's go in." ”

I watched as the three brothers entered the room, sat down on the floor and drank their wines, and although they no longer spoke, they had lost the thick sorrow that they had just had.

It turned out that when I didn't know, the relationship between Yinxiang and the brothers had become like this, and at this time, both of them took the initiative to accompany him, and they accompanied each other in a man's way, so he was no longer alone here.

When I looked down at Honghui, I found that he was staring at the people in the room as intently as I was, and I couldn't help but smile and ask, "What are you looking at, little ghost?" Want to drink too? Go back to sleep. ”

~~~

"Meiyu, take Honghui to the nurse." Yinzhen stood at the door of the house and looked at me and Honghui, who was already asleep, frowning and refusing to come in.

I looked at his stern appearance, and I couldn't help but think of what happened in Yongshou Palace just now, so I had to watch Meiyu take Honghui away, turn around and lie inside.

The outside of the bed sank down slightly, and I felt that Yinzhen was already lying behind me, and I hurriedly grabbed the pillow and closed my eyes tightly, hoping that he would ignore me and go to bed so late.

"What did you ask Honghui and Yinxiang to say?" Seeing that I ignored him, Yin Zhen leaned behind me and asked in a low voice.

Afraid of something, he drank so much, why did he act like he had nothing to do, and his brain was so sober that it was depressing. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, but I never saw him lie down, so I had no choice but to reply to him, "Can you not say it?" ”

"Why? Can't say? ”

I turned around and looked at him and said seriously: "Yinzhen, I don't want to lie to you, but I don't want to say it now, can I sue you when the time is right?" ”

Yinzhen actually looked at me with scrutinizing eyes, and it took a long time before nodding and lying back on the pillow. Seeing him like this, the strings in my heart relaxed, leaned on him and sighed, "Thank you." ”

"I'm going to go to Saiwai with Huang Ama next month, and I'm going to move out of the palace when I come back, so you can take the time to start preparing. Don't just care about playing with Honghui all day long, and don't care about anything else. ”

"Really? We're moving out soon? I looked up and saw that he didn't mean to fool me, and then said happily: "Got it, I'll start cleaning up tomorrow." ”

"Happy to be like this?"

"Of course, in the future, if you live outside the palace, you don't have to go around asking for an salute, just us, how comfortable we are." After I finished talking to myself, I saw that Yinzhen just looked at me, but he didn't show that he was as happy as me, so he leaned back to him and stopped talking, silently thinking in his heart about what things to organize, what to bring and what to don't.

When he was about to fall asleep, he remembered another thing Yinzhen said, and asked him in a daze, "What's wrong with me teasing Honghui?" Who's in the way? ”

After a long time, I heard Yinzhen reply to me in a muffled voice: "It's okay." ”
