The autumn night of the forbidden palace is bleak and long, and the autumn raindrops are like a leak.

The lights were still on in the residence of Ding Neijian, and after patrolling the night with people in the first half of the night, he always had to eat a few glasses of hot wine to drive away the cold in his body.

The little apprentice Diao Worm diligently held the wine jug and poured wine for Ding Neijian, he was originally called Diao Bug, and he grew up in the grass stage opera troupe.

He was picked up by the troupe by the river during the flood, and no one was willing to give him a good name after the owner's surname, because when he picked him up, he was covered with bed bugs, so he called him "bed bug".

When he was eight years old, the troupe couldn't sing, and when he happened to come near the capital, the head of the troupe sold him into the palace as a eunuch.

He held firewood for three years in the Salary Division, and because of his penetration, he was picked to go to the imperial dining room to make a fire.

After another year or two, he was favored by Ding Neijian and recognized as an apprentice, thinking that "bed bugs" were not good, so he changed them to "bugs".

He was the little eunuch who talked to Ding Neijian about Wei Yining the day before yesterday.

"It's been too quiet lately, haven't you?" Ding asked while drinking.

"Back to Master, it's not a big deal, but there are one or two dishonest mules who bite the group of mules, and they can't make much of a fart." Diao Worm said while taking chopsticks to Ding Neijian Bucai: "But there is something that makes me feel a little strange. ”

"Tell me about it." Ding Neijian knew that although this little apprentice of his was young, he was a ghost. Let him say something strange, it must be a little strange, and it is worth listening.

"The old immortal who is locked up in the back seems to have returned the yang recently." Diao Worm said: "Not only did I not get sick as in previous years, but I was able to walk out of the yard to bask in the sun when the weather was good a few days ago. Do you think it's weird? ”

Ding Nei was also surprised when he heard it, the "old immortal" that Diao Wormer said in his mouth was his master, who was made by him to be no one and no ghost, and was thrown into the cold palace.

In order to torture him for fun, Ding Neijian knew that he had gout, and sent people to send him big fish and meat every day, in order to aggravate his pain.

Although this method is not fatal, it is a very torturous method, and Ding Neijian often feels proud of it.

"How so? Is this old thing secretly doing something? The person who brings him food every day, you ask, is there anything unusual? "Eunuch Ding is a suspicious person, and when he heard about this, he wanted to check if there was any problem in it.

"I went with your old man's thoughts, and I went to the old immortal house to take a look at it as soon as possible, and I didn't see anything suspicious. He had people watch him outside his dwelling for three days, and he did not see any suspicious person coming or going. Diao Worm said: "I asked Liu Baldzi, who specially brought him food, and he has been sending his apprentices to deliver food." Although that guy is stupid, he listens to his master and will never make a mistake. So the little one privately wondered if the old immortal who ate these big fish and meat all the year round and fought poison with poison cured his gout. ”

"Forget it, the old guy on the left and right is useless," Ding Neijian thought for a while, and sneered: "It just so happens that a group of old eunuchs will be sent to guard the imperial tomb after the first festival in the palace, so I will also write down his name and tell him to be loyal to the emperors." ”

"Order! The disciples will do it if they say so. Diao Worm poured another glass of wine for Ding Neijian, a small banana leaf cup of caviar frozen stone, and the aroma of mulberry wine was fragrant, and Ding Neijian was already slightly drunk.

Diao Worm knew that after this glass of wine was in her stomach, the master would go to bed with wide clothes.

So he said: "Your old man should rest after drinking this cup, it's cold tonight, the soup woman has already been put at the foot of the bed, and tomorrow morning is not your old class, just sleep for a while, and then the little one will come to serve you for breakfast." ”

Outside the window, the night rain was murmuring, and it fell all night.

On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, although the rain was light, the fallen leaves and water all over the ground, and the cool breeze was blowing slowly and slowly, which seemed to be very bleak.

Everyone who accompanied the reading came out of the Chunyang Gate, although there were maids with umbrellas, and everyone wore a rainproof feather satin cloak outside, most of which were bright red colors, which added a bit of glamour to the bleak autumn morning.

Only Wei Yining's cloak is lilac-colored, elegant and fresh, although it is not far away, but it is very colorful.

The carriage was covered with a rain canopy, and there was a hand stove in the car, after all, these companions would return to the palace the next day, in case they contracted the wind and cold, and it was not a joke for the masters in the palace to be sick.

"It is said that people should not be released out of the palace in such weather, but after all, it is a big festival, and the family cannot be wasted, everyone should be more careful, dress warmer, and it is not a big deal in comparison." This is the first morning that Aunt Huiying conveyed the queen's original words to everyone, and some people were worried that because of the bad weather, the queen would not let these people go.

"Fifth sister, this time the time is short and the weather is not good, I won't go to visit my stepmother and sisters, bring one for me!" Before getting into the car, Wei Yining said to Wei Lanqi: "I have already handed over the clothes made for my stepmother to Cai Wei, if there is anything inappropriate, ask the sixth sister to change it at home." ”

"You don't have to worry about it!" Wei Lanqi hugged Wei Yining and asked her to get into the car quickly: "Take care of yourself, don't think about others all day long." ”

Wei Yining couldn't help laughing at what she said, and boarded the car, the carriage she was sitting in was behind Wei Lanqi's carriage, and she waited for Wei Lanqi's carriage to move her carriage before urging it.

Guanyin Bao woke up early in the morning, dressed neatly and stood at the door looking out, and he couldn't come to eat breakfast until it was served.

Mrs. Zhu knew that he missed Wei Yining, but it was always impossible to skip meals, so she coaxed him and said, "Good boy, come over for dinner, your sister will be back in a while." It's cold outside, beware of the cold air blowing on your body, and turning around to worry your sister again. ”

When Guanyin Bao heard this, he turned around a little reluctantly, ate breakfast absentmindedly, and went to the door to stand again.

Mrs. Zhu was distressed and helpless, so she asked Ruyi to take a cloak and put it on him.

As soon as Wei Yining's carriage came to the door, Wei Hongan quickly ran out to greet him, and he didn't care if the water splashed on the feet of his robe.

"How did you run out of the rain just now?" Wei Yining affectionately hugged his younger brother in his arms, and gave him his hand Lusse, and did not forget to count: "Although this kind of weather is not as good as in the middle of winter, maybe the cold wind drilling straight into the bones is the most likely to get sick, I can't be by your side every day, you have to be careful yourself, and save your grandmother from worrying." ”

"I'm wearing a thick one, sister don't worry." Guanyin Bao said with a smile: "I still remember when I was in Lao Linghe, my sister went out hunting, and every time I came back, I ran to the door to pick you up." ”

"Yes, sometimes I run in a hurry, and I get headlong into the snow, head down and feet up, and I still kick and kick like that, it's really funny." Wei Yining couldn't help but be happy and sad when he thought of the past.

Although life was difficult at that time, both parents were there, and now although the brother and sister can be reunited, their parents are separated forever.
