Chapter 169: Returning to My Mother's Home (4)
Song'er raised her still childish face and said to us: "Okay! Song'er listens to my sister! Song'er wants to study hard and earn a life for her mother in the future!"
I touched Song'er's head and smiled and praised him for his ambition. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info Hui'er was a little jealous, and she also hurriedly said: "Big sister, Hui'er is obedient, honor your mother." In the same way, I touched her head and praised her for being a good boy.
After saying a few words like this, I heard the whole father-in-law at the door call: "Madam, it's not too early, the master said that he wants to go back to the house." ”
I didn't want to go back to the palace in every way, but I could only respond to it from afar, and then say goodbye to my mother and younger brothers and sisters. I just wanted to tell my younger siblings, but when I looked up, I saw my mother's tearful eyes first.
"Hua'er, this ...... Is this going back?" My mother is worried, that is, I haven't traveled thousands of miles, and I am still in this capital, but it is rare to see each other again when I enter the palace, and this time the emperor is kind and quietly takes me out of the palace, next time...... I don't know what year or month it is.
This is not like Song'er and Hui'er, just raised in front of her, that is, cold and hot, there is a mother's care, going to the palace is not the same as being an ordinary person's daughter-in-law, this idea of official position in the family, where is enough for me to be a backstage. As he spoke, he was going to give one away.
I knew that my mother was worried about me, but I was going to leave, but I had to be ruthless, my mother wanted to send me, so I took a cloak and tied it to my mother, but I didn't allow my younger brothers and sisters to follow me anymore, I only said to my mother: "Mother, the emperor is willing to take me out of the palace now, just to cherish Hua'er." You don't have to worry, Hua'er will definitely take good care of herself in the palace, and she will never let you worry. ”
My mother knew that I was comforting her, but I was leaving, and after listening to my words, she also knew that I was the governor, and I was telling the truth. If the emperor didn't care about me, or let me be wronged, naturally he wouldn't have taken him out of the palace to secretly see his family.
Surrounded the cloak, and instructed his younger brothers and sisters: "You two must listen to your mother's words, otherwise, I will be the first to disobey." ”
The two little ones answered in unison, and I went out with my mother. My father-in-law waited outside early, saw me, and said, "Madam, the lord said, let you say goodbye to Wen Shilang, and we will prepare to go back to the palace." ”
On this trip home, I talked to my mother and my younger siblings, but I didn't talk to my father much. is the time to speak, and the emperor is also in front of him. Later, because men wanted to talk about things, they let me meet my mother first.
I thought that this time I was afraid that I would not be able to talk to my father, but I didn't think that the emperor was a careful person, since he brought me back once, he naturally refused to let me regret it. I thanked my father and went to my father's study. My mother knew that I was going to see my father, so she went with me.
When I got to the study, the emperor was no longer there. Only my father was left inside. My father saw me from afar, and he opened his hands as if I were a bubble in that dream, and at the slightest touch it would shatter.
I looked at my father, who had lost weight, and even gave birth to a few strands of gray hair early, which was very distressing. Choked up and said: "Father, Hua'er can't be filial to his knees, and his father has to take care of himself." You take care of your body, and your daughter is in the palace, so you have hope. ”
My father knew that I was concerned about him, so he nodded in response. But he didn't pull me and tell me about the shortcomings of the family like his mother, but he just instructed: "It is your blessing that the emperor spoils you, but you also have to abide by the rules, so that this benefit can last for a long time." Today, how can you let the emperor help you out of the sedan chair? Even the queen mother deserves this help?"
I know that my father is for my good, but these private things with the emperor are not unruly. If I blindly serve according to the rules, I can't say that the emperor will be tired of looking at it like a dull wood.
It's just that the rules also have to be observed, in front of others, or in the palace, if you don't follow the rules, you can't even eat bone broth? I naturally save these truths, but I don't argue with my father, I just nodded humbly, answered, and whispered: "My daughter knows, and she knows it in her heart." ”
Father nodded, and then instructed, that is, to the silver: "When you entered the palace, you brought some silver taels, but now it is enough? In the palace, everything needs to be taken care of, and my father has more here, but he still has some less, so you will take it this time?"
I just wanted to push it when I heard it, but my father said again: "Even if you don't enter the palace, marrying an ordinary family will also give you a dowry, I have already prepared this silver with your mother, not only you, but Brother Song and Sister Hui also have it, you take it, and your father and your mother are also more at ease." ”
I just stopped pushing, but my father gave a thick pile of silver tickets out, I looked, all of them were small, I think my father and mother had changed it early, just waiting for the opportunity to send it to me. In the palace, it is inconvenient to use a large amount of silver tickets, and some small amounts, whether it is to reward people or dot points, they are just right.
I collected the silver ticket, and before my father-in-law called again, my father urged me to go out. I just said that the emperor had just finished talking to him about political affairs, so he asked someone to send me to say goodbye to him, and at this time, the emperor was waiting outside.
I was reluctant to leave. How can I hold back my tears at this time? I felt that my eyes were sore, and two lines of tears flowed down my cheeks. But he still grabbed the handkerchief and wiped it away, and looked at his father and mother deeply, just thinking that he would keep their appearance in his heart like this, and when he returned to the palace, he would have a thought. At this time, he was going back to the palace.
When I went out, my father and mother were also sent out, just like when I was taken to the palace in a sedan chair, sent to the door, sent to the carriage, and reluctantly saw that the shadow was gone, and then they both helped me back.
When I got to the door, the emperor didn't get into the carriage, but just waited in front of the carriage, and when he saw not only me and my father-in-law, but also my father and mother, he nodded slightly to them, which was regarded as exempting them from courtesy.
But when they saw me, they knew that they had cried, but they took me by the hand and helped me into the carriage. I gently pressed his hand, and he flickered it, and he understood that I was afraid that my father was talking to me. He didn't bother, he got into the car first, and then stretched out his hand to pull me up, and the carriage moved slowly.
I lifted the curtains from the car, watched my father and mother walk away slowly, turned into two blurred shadows, turned another corner, and saw nothing.
