Chapter 31: Kissing
On the second day of the lunar month, the first snow.
When Sheng Yi was making a female celebrity, the eunuch of Xingqing Palace came in to spread the word.
"Shang Palace, Gonggong Liu of Xingqing Palace sent someone to spread the word, saying that your family has come to the palace to see you." Zhixia is happy to announce the grand meaning.
Sheng Yi was confused, "My family? ”
Zhixia nodded in response, "Yes." ”
"How did I not know?" Sheng Yi wondered.
Zhixia said with envy on his face: "Shang Gong, is it that your family wants to surprise you." You also know that most of the palace maids are forced to be sent to the palace because of the family's livelihood, and there are very few people who can wait for their families to visit, so when everyone hears that there is a family visit in Shanggong, they are happy for Shanggong. ”
Sheng Yi smiled dryly, surprised or not she couldn't be sure, surprise was real,
"yes, then I'm going to see my family."
Speaking of which, Sheng Yi is really strange, the original owner's family is poor, his father is a good drinker, his brother is addicted to gambling, the original owner has not enjoyed a good day, and after that, Sheng's father sent her into the palace because of a few taels of silver. What kind of family affection does such a father and brother have?
With the last glimmer of hope, Sheng Yi was still wondering if they would find out in conscience, and after visiting this troubled original owner, he simply cleaned up and went to Xingqing Palace.
According to the palace rules, palace maids generally meet their families at the wooden fence at the palace gate, and only a very small number of palace people who are valued by their masters are qualified to meet separately in Xingqing Palace. Sheng Yi is now a celebrity around the emperor, and the number one in the harem, Shang Gong, naturally has the right to meet in Xingqing Palace.
Along the way, Sheng Yi was thinking about how to say and do what could make them feel more sorry for the original owner, and how to enhance the relationship between the original owner and his father and brother.
"Shang Gong, it's already arranged." After the eunuch of Xingqing Palace saw the grand intention from afar, he trotted all the way up to meet him and replied respectfully.
Sheng Yi bowed his head, "I'm tired." ”
The little eunuch led Sheng Yi to the door of a clean room, "Shang Gong, please inside." ”
After that, he quit.
Sheng Yi looked at the half-hidden doorway, raised his head slightly, and walked in gently.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a "boom" and the sound of a stool after getting up.
"Girl!" I saw a man half-hunched, emaciated, and wrinkled looking at Sheng Yi eagerly.
Another man leaning crookedly, with his neck curled and his cotton sleeves in his hands, also looked at Sheng Yi in shock.
I'm afraid this is the original owner, her father and her brother.
Even though the original owner is unconscious, her body reaction can't deceive people, and the tense muscles all show how her former father and brother fought her.
Sheng Da stared at his sister with bright eyes, and said happily: "Yo, but I haven't seen you in just a year, you have changed from a chicken head to a phoenix!" ”
Father Sheng also rubbed his hands secretly happy, and his smiling eyes narrowed together, "That's it!" Thanks to me for listening to the fortune teller and sending you to the palace, otherwise where would you have such a good life! Gee! It's all Shang Palace, but it's terrible. ”
Sheng Da pulled his hands and said happily: "It's not just Shanggong, I heard that it is also a celebrity in front of the emperor, as long as the emperor is happy, he can't reward a few baskets of gold and silver treasures!" ”
From beginning to end, Sheng Yi didn't say a word, but Sheng Father and Sheng Da were like cats smelling fishy, just looking forward to the days when they couldn't spend their money.
"What's wrong? Dumb? I don't know if the person who called you ordered food and tea? Shengda looked at Sheng Yi who didn't speak, and he was angry.
Sheng Yi just wanted to sigh that there were really people who changed their faces so fast.
"Ahem-your brother is right, you said that you have such a good future in the palace, but your father and I haven't enjoyed your day's blessings yet!" Father Sheng frowned, and his beard seemed to stand up angrily.
No wonder the original owner is such a character, maybe she has been suffering since she was a child, if she lives in such a depressing day by day, she can't stand it for a moment.
Seeing that Sheng Yi still didn't move, Sheng Da felt a kind of anger that he had been ignored, got up in an instant, and walked towards Sheng Yi.
"Look at your dead face! How could the emperor let you serve you closely? Not shameful enough! Sheng Da pointed at Sheng Yi and scolded.
Sheng Yi met Sheng Da's gaze and went straight back, "If it weren't for my dead face, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come, right?" ”
Seeing his son being teased, Sheng's father was furious, raised his hand and gave Sheng Yi a slap, "Smack!" ”
"How do you speak? No big, no small! Pulling you so much, I can't say two words about you? Father Sheng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, as if it was Sheng Yi who had committed a heinous crime.
Sheng Yi looked at the two people who were sucking blood, smiled coldly, and the hot pain on her face made her know for the first time what is patriarchy and what is a woman's life.
"Since you don't want to see me so much, then I'll go!" Sheng Yi was not ready to entangle with them, and got up to leave.
Father Sheng and Sheng Da obviously didn't expect Sheng Yi to do this, the two were stunned for a few seconds, and hurriedly stopped Sheng Yi with a stride.
Sheng Yi looked at his brother's face with no oil and salt, and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, staring at him.
"You don't want to leave without expressing any intentions?" Sheng Da glared at his sister.
Sheng Yi let out a long breath, "What do you want?" ”
Father Sheng twisted, "You guys? Who are you? I'm your father, he's your brother! Nothing big or small! ”
Sheng Yi was very sour in his heart, he never thought that there would be such a person.
"If you were really my father and my brother, you wouldn't drink blood, peel skin, and pull bones like this!" Sheng Yi looked coldly at Sheng Da who was stopping her.
Just when Sheng Da was about to have a seizure, Sheng Yi said slowly: "I have to remind you that there is only one stick of incense in the meeting." ”
Sure enough, Father Sheng and Sheng Daden were dumbfounded.
Father Sheng gave Sheng Da a look, Sheng Da stiffened his neck, and said, "We don't mean anything else, just to see if you have an errand suitable for me and arrange something for me to do." ”
Sheng Yi sneered: "Arrange an errand? Do you dare to say it, is this harem your territory, and do whatever you want! I'm telling you, don't say there's nothing for you to do, even if there is, I won't let you do it! ”
"You damn girl! Look for death! Sheng Da was stimulated by Sheng Yi's words and raised his hand to slap her again, but was stopped by Sheng's father.
"You don't have to be so cold-blooded, I don't plan to let you support your old age in the future, but as a child, you have to be filial to me, and in the future, you send fifteen taels of silver to your home every month, and I won't bother you again!" Father Sheng spoke quickly, and his beard was shaking.
Sheng Yi seemed to have heard a shocking joke, "How much?" ”
Sheng Da stretched out his hand and gestured: "Fifteen taels!" ”
Sheng Yi didn't know how Father Sheng and Brother Sheng could open this mouth, and laughed: "Do you know how much I have a month's silver?" Fifteen taels? It's impossible to make it up without eating or drinking! ”
"You white-eyed wolf! I still pulled you up, that's how you repay me? I can't figure it out, I don't care about that! Father Sheng said sharply.
The cubicle that would have kissed was very tight, and the people next to him heard it very clearly, and they all looked at Sheng Yi and whispered......
"Hey, I really didn't expect that Sheng Shanggong was such a person, and he would abandon his father and brother after ......the scenery."
"Look at how beautiful she is every day, it's not a cheap life, my father doesn't like it, my brother doesn't get along......"
Looking at the palace maids around them with complicated eyes and gossiping to the end, Sheng Yi really wanted to take a strip of cloth to seal their mouths! Sometimes, if you don't resist, it will only get deeper......
In the distance, Li Qing, who was inspecting the meeting, looked at the gathered crowd, walked up, and scolded: "What are you doing!" ”
A little eunuch smiled and arched his hand: "Grandpa Li, look! There was Sheng Shang Palace, and her father and brother quarreled, and it was lively, and they all said that Sheng Shang Palace was a white-eyed wolf. ”
Gonggong Li glared at him, knocked the little eunuch's head with a whisk, raised his voice, and said in shock: "There are no rules!" Can the affairs of Sheng Shang Palace also talk nonsense? It's all scattered! Let our family find out that your dogs can't spit out ivory in their mouths, and the punishment division will serve you! ”
The palace maids and eunuchs dispersed in a hurry.
Gonggong Li instructed the eunuch Xiao Jinzi beside him: "Haosheng stares at this group of people, if you chew the root of your tongue again, you don't need to know, just slap your mouth!" ”
It was the first time for Xiao Jinzi to see his master so angry, and he replied again and again: "Yes! ”
After that, Gonggong Li paced outside Shengyi's room, ostensibly supervising everyone, but in fact reserving a little face for Shengyi.
Sheng Yi in the house listened really at this time, and silently thanked this father-like father-in-law Li in his heart, even outsiders knew to protect her, but the two fathers and brothers in front of him only wanted to scavenge money from her.
"Just give me a sentence, how much can you get me every month?" Father Sheng walked back and forth impatiently.
Sheng Yi adheres to the principle that more things are better than less, thinking that it is the original father, so he said: "I will pay ten taels of silver every month, and in addition to the relationship, I will send you five taels of silver every month." ”
Unexpectedly, before Sheng's father spoke, Shengda blew up first, slammed the water cup, and the porcelain pieces were splashing on Sheng Yi's hands, and she "hissed" in pain, only to see Shengda's eyes bloodshot and said viciously: "You sent Huazi?" ”
