A little eunuch who had just entered the palace, with his slightly immature little head down, stood respectfully at the door of the imperial study, obviously in winter, but there was still a layer of delicate sweat on his forehead, and he looked at his toes with some anxiety.

The puppy kept thinking about what had happened to him over the past year, and wondered if it was real.

First of all, at the beginning of the year, there has always been a small village where I am inhabited, and suddenly there are a large number of nobles wearing brocade clothes, not too old and not too young, looking at some prestige, but where some people in the village have reached the age of twelve, less than fourteen years old young children, these nobles will come to the door, about a few incense sticks of time, will appear at the door again, some of their faces are satisfied, some of them look indignant, and some are smiling, with different expressions, but if you ask those who are visited by distinguished guests, those people are silent, just the look on their faces, not like there is nothing that can not be said, but they are reluctant to speak。

It wasn't until soon after that a nobleman finally appeared at the door of the somewhat dilapidated house where the puppy was located, and the puppy's father, who was obviously just thirty years old, but because of the perennial wind and sun and hard work, respectfully invited the noble man into the house, and after thinking for a long time, he took out the little good tea that had been stored for several years, and made it for the noble man with a little distress, and the little dog who was hiding from the edge of the firewood stack and peeking at the distance could only see that the noble man had never touched the teacup once since he came in, but kept saying something to his father, and the father showed a little painful look from time to time, and he couldn't hear the conversation between his father and the nobleman。

I don't know how long it took, his legs were already a little numb, the noble man stopped his lips that kept opening and closing, sat quietly on the bench, and looked at his father with a smile on his face, but the noble man seemed to know that the puppy was behind the stack of wood, and glanced slightly, and could see the warm smile on his face, flashing.

The father sat in place, the expression on his face kept changing, some distressed, some sad, and a little confused, hesitated for a long time, only to see the father stand up, walk outside the house to hold his sister's mother, and say something softly, the little dog hiding behind the firewood can only vaguely hear what 'entering the palace', what' Come back' and so on, until she finished speaking, the eyes on her mother's face that were originally a little in awe of the nobleman suddenly became as fierce as she usually murdered herself and her two brothers, but she didn't dare to go in, so she could only put her sister who had just learned to walk on the ground on the ground, and knelt down with a plop, holding her father's hand with both hands, crying and begging loudly: "Why are you so ruthless, he is your own flesh and blood, even if you give him up for raising, you can't let him go there!" Listen to me, my cousin has always wanted to adopt a boy to inherit the family business, and it would be better for you to send the dog to him than to send it to that kind of place!"

The father hurriedly pulled his mother's body, as if he wanted to pull her up, and said with some anger in his mouth: "You get up, hold such a big belly, watch out for your body, I asked the nobleman, you won't make the dog look like them, your cousin doesn't know where to hear about the evil magic and demon magic, is that to find a descendant for yourself, that is to find a life-sustaining furnace for yourself, send the dog there, maybe it will become a person who is not a ghost or a ghost!" Look at our family now, Ah Da and Ah Er are over eighteen years old, and there are no girls who are willing to marry into our family, don't you still dislike us for being poor? You are now holding one in your arms and another in your belly, what prospects can the dog have with our family except to endure hardships and suffer crimes?"

The mother collapsed weakly in her father's arms, and said intermittently on her weeping face: "That... Then you.. Nor can you put ... Dog sends... Send it there.... He's now... Not sensible... Future... Grow up in the future .... Yes.. Will hate.. Hate you!"

The father gently patted his mother's back, sighed and said: "Hate me is better than starvation, this year's harvest in the field is not good, the rent can only be owed on credit, otherwise this winter will not be good, I asked the nobleman, he promised me, if there is some silver money in the future, I can go and bring the dog back, and they will not do anything to the dog, and they can also receive some silver every month, more than the grain we sell in a year, you get up first, the noble man also promised me to allow the dog to return to the hometown to visit once a year, and you will not let you not see it!" You get up first, and the ground is cold. ”

Hearing this, the little dog hiding behind the woodpile only had the words 'father wants to send him away' in his mind, and the 'boom' became blank, why?

Thinking of his brother who has protected him since he was a child, and his sister, who is slurred but can still call his brother sweetly, the puppy stomped his already numb legs to the ground, thinking of running out quickly and begging his father not to send him away, he obviously didn't eat much, and even ate less.

But then look at the noble man out of his arms, put on the table that has been shaky a small but not small, some dazzling silver, the dog's feet, stomp on the foot, that is silver, that is the silver that I have never seen, in previous years only heard those in the village a little bit of family said silver, remember the New Year, my mother nervously took out a small box, carefully counted the few copper plates in it, until the cover of the tattered small box, the face of the satisfied, I can still remember, now the silver on the table, should be worth two or three years of harvest in my own familyMy sister doesn't have to drool anymore and look at the little candy cubes in the hands of the children in the village, right? My brother can get my sister-in-law, right? And the one in my mother's womb who has not yet been born, and I don't know if it's my sister or my younger brother, I shouldn't think about it anymore when I was a child, I can't eat milk, and I cry, right?

The little dog no longer had the idea of begging his father not to send him out at this moment, his eyes stared at the silver on the table, obviously in the dim room, but at the moment he felt that it was constantly glowing, swallowed his saliva fiercely, cautiously walked to his father, and said, "Dad, I'll go with that nobleman." ”

The father looked at his son with a face full of astonishment, and looked back at the noble man who was still sitting in the room in disbelief, until he saw the broken silver on the table that should be worth three or four taels, and then he suddenly turned around, gritted his yellowed teeth, looked at the puppy, stretched out his thin hands, broke the puppy's thin figure, pointed to the noble person in the house, and said, "Go, you go." There seemed to be a little reluctance and sadness in his voice.

The puppy looked at the nobleman who was looking at him with a smile on his face in the room, and smiled at the nobleman with some nervousness.

When the noble man saw this child, whose face was a little yellowish and thin, he smiled, but his voice was not like those adults, but with a sharp edge, which looked a little strange.

The nobleman stood up, walked to the door, turned around, and beckoned lightly to the puppy, as if to call him over.

The puppy turned his head to look at the silver still on the table, and then looked at the noble person at the door, hesitated, and wanted to turn around to look at his parents, but a hand suddenly appeared on his head, straightening his head, not letting him look back, feeling the somewhat soft palm, the puppy knew that this was his mother's hand, but he couldn't understand why his mother didn't let him turn back, just now he was obviously unwilling to send himself away.

With endless sorrow, the mother said, "Don't look back at your father, don't look back!"

The little dog, who didn't understand why, could only nod his head, and his father said in a hoarse voice: "You go, you go!" If you want to come back, you tell the nobleman, the nobleman should allow you to return to your hometown once a year, if you miss your mother and brothers and sisters, remember to come back and see, go!"

The puppy nodded his little head ignorantly, took a step towards the door and walked towards the noble man who stretched out a hand to him, knowing that holding that hand, the puppy could feel the delicate skin of these nobles, and just wanted to turn around, but he remembered his mother's sentence in his mind, and looked up at the nobleman.

The noble man gently patted the puppy's head with his right hand, smiled at the parents of the puppy who hugged each other and sat on the ground, and then led the puppy out of the door and walked towards a somewhat luxurious carriage.

It wasn't until the gate at the top that he couldn't seem to see appeared in front of the puppy that the puppy knew that his father was going to send him into the palace, which should be the kind of play house that a few friends played with when he was younger, and he was the eunuch inside, right? But the eunuch should be going to cut off his own thing, should I also cut it off?

The puppy who has entered the palace is worried every day, and every day when he wakes up, he must first look at his crotch, and only when he sees it, he will pat his chest with confidence.

A small footstep appeared at the door, and the little dog hurriedly gathered his thoughts, and even though he was about to kneel on the ground, the owner of the voice held him and said, "Don't kneel when you see people, except for Your Majesty, you don't have to kneel when you see anyone in this palace, do you know?"

With a little smile in his voice, the puppy nodded his head hurriedly, remembered something, and said respectfully: "Huh!"

The big eunuch said with some tears and laughter: "You are not a eunuch, what are you shouting about?"

When the little dog heard this, he raised his head and asked a little confusedly: "But when I entered the palace, didn't I become a eunuch?"

The big eunuch He He smiled, and his sharp voice made the little dog a little scared, "Go and go, hurry up and send the letter in, go in and make a small noise, don't disturb Your Majesty's criticism." The big eunuch gently patted the puppy's back and said.

The little dog just now changed into the cramped and uneasy look just now, and with difficulty he took some steps that he couldn't move, so he 'moved' into the imperial study.

This is the emperor, he won't cut me down, right?
