Chapter 57: The Little Eunuch Wrongly Returns to His Hometown
When he was ten years old, the little eunuch left his hometown and embarked on a bumpy and difficult road to become an eunuch. His relatives, friends, and neighbors would never have thought that he still had the beauty of a man in his body. How pitiful it is, how pitiful it is that the little eunuch turned out to be a virgin again.
He returned to his hometown village where he had been away for many years and could not remember clearly, but he still vaguely had some influence on their house.
He was not planning to go home. To be honest, he didn't have much goodwill towards the people in his hometown. He was sent to the royal family to be a eunuch. It was definitely not out of the virtues of these kind-hearted people. If that was the case, why didn't they send their own
His son was also sent to be chosen by lot? No matter how many sons he had in his family, why was it him? He was lucky enough to retain the characteristics of a man, and it was definitely not because of some master from his hometown. I calculated that he would have adventures in this life, otherwise he would be like this
It's impossible for good things to happen to him
Once, the little eunuch happened to meet a middle-aged beggar in a small ruined temple during his trip to take shelter from the rain. The half-mad and half-stupid little eunuch looked at him and took out a piece of silver and threw it into his hand.
The man lay down on the ground and called him "Master". He deliberately teased the beggar and said, "Friend, if I give you a lot of money, will you cut off your things and give them to me? With this money, you will
There is no need to go around begging for food anymore." The beggar shook his head and said, "No, no, you can give me ten piles of silver and I won't do anything. Without that thing, what's the point of living?" It can be seen that even a stupid beggar knows that.
Things are important, not to mention ordinary people?
Approaching the village, he was about to ask someone for directions when suddenly familiar faces appeared in front of him. He recognized Mistress Zhang, Aunt Li, Grandma Wang, and old man with a white beard. At that time, he
His beard was gray, but no one recognized him. From the age of ten to twenty, he had already completed his life transformation from boy to young man. The changes during this period were so great that ordinary people would not be able to recognize him.
The little eunuch knocked on the door of his house out of nowhere. He clearly felt that there were many people pointing fingers at him from behind. A group of children as old as he was followed behind him, neither far nor near, always with him.
He keeps a certain distance
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged uncle. The young eunuch couldn't remember the face of this man in his memory, so he asked inexplicably:
"Uncle, where are the people in this family?"
The middle-aged uncle was a little surprised at first. After he came to his senses, he smiled and said:
"I am from this family!"
"I mean, earlier, who are the people in this family?" The little eunuch himself was surprised. He couldn't think of a more suitable word, so he had to say, "Was this family's surname Pan before?"
"There are too many people named Pan in our village. I wonder which one our guests should look for?" the middle-aged man said politely.
It was probably the sound of their conversation that attracted the attention of the people in the room. Two women, an old one and a young one, walked out of the courtyard. He recognized them at a glance. The older one was his aunt and the younger one was his cousin. He called out, "
Aunt", then explained:
"I'm Anzi"
The aunt was startled at first, and then she started shouting loudly and yelled:
"Oh my God, you are our little Anzi! If you don't tell me, how can I recognize you? My dear, you have grown so big. You can see that you are as handsome as a girl."
The aunt's eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry. Before he could speak, she pointed at the girl behind her and said, "Girl, this is your cousin Anzi. He left early. Maybe you don't remember?"
"Remember, remember, why don't you remember?" The cousin was outspoken and came over to hold the little eunuch's hand. The little eunuch avoided him, and the cousin said angrily, "Cousin, you don't recognize me anymore?"
When the young eunuch entered the courtyard, the middle-aged uncle led the horse and kept praising him: "After all, he is a figure from the court. Look at this outfit and this horse. Who has seen this in his life? It will cost a lot of money."
!And this stirrup, oh, could it be a stirrup made of gold?"
The little eunuch remembered his cousin's name very clearly. Hong Cao'er was one year younger than him. When he was a child, he didn't call him brother, but just called him An. Sometimes he was called "um" by mistake, and sometimes his father died.
From now on, he will live at his aunt's house for the longest time. Logically speaking, his aunt is his most reliable direct relative in the world, but for some reason, his aunt doesn't seem to like him very much. He was still young when his parents were alive, and he can't remember many things completely.
, but there is one sentence that he still remembers vividly. Once when he and Hong Silk'er were playing in the courtyard, his aunt said to his mother: "Anzi is handsome and Silk'er is also juicy. It would be better for them to get married."
A pair of virgin boys and beautiful girls!" The mother didn't say anything, just grinned. After his parents died of illness, his aunt's face became more and more unpleasant to him. My aunt lives in Lincun, and he is an orphan. Naturally, he visits his aunt's house most often.
Why, he is always the last one in line when the rice is served, and my aunt always shouts loudly: "Hey, why is there less food when we get to Anzi?" My uncle is a good person, and he often takes advantage of his aunt's carelessness to eat his bowl.
Red Silk poured some rice for him instead. After finishing her own meal, she banged the bowl and shouted: "Mom, Anzi, you cook less every time Anzi comes back to our house." The aunt gave her daughter a fierce look and said, "Oh
, do more next time.” It will be the same next time. After that, he left and became a eunuch in the palace. He didn’t know who had the idea for him to be a eunuch. He couldn’t remember how he left. As for what happened to his aunt later.
Living in his house again is of course a later story, but my uncle seems to have changed someone. The uncle who leads the horse seems to be...
His aunt and the whole family politely let him into the house. Before he could sit firmly, he hurriedly stood up, took out a piece of gold from his horse sack, held a handful of silver ingots, and said:
"Auntie, I was in a hurry and forgot to buy a gift. I will leave this little money to you to supplement the family income!"
The middle-aged uncle stood up and hurriedly walked over to look at the gold and silver on the table. His aunt pinched him on the buttocks. The uncle defended himself and said, "I can use some money to cut a few kilograms of meat and two kilograms of wine. Isn't that enough?"
?" The aunt didn't say anything. The middle-aged uncle picked up a piece of silver and left. When he reached the door, he turned back and smiled at the little eunuch. The red silk child went to the stove to boil water. The aunt and nephew were talking in the main room.
Auntie asked: "Anzi, when you come back, are you staying here permanently or are you just leaving?"
The little eunuch said: "I'm passing by, I'm only staying for one night, and I'll leave tomorrow."
I could see that my aunt took a deep breath and asked again:
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's hard to come here, why don't you stay longer?"
"It's urgent," the little eunuch said.
"Did the emperor send you here?"
"No, I came out on my own."
"Oh" Auntie didn't ask any more questions
The middle-aged uncle bought a lot of vegetables, including cooked food and raw meat. My aunt turned her back and asked the middle-aged uncle in a low voice: "Where is the change?" The uncle blushed and said, "I'll tell you later."
The little eunuch is hungry. He hasn't eaten food from his hometown for a long time. He really wants to eat the batter-baked pancakes but there are none on the table. He is too embarrassed to ask for his aunt. He has always been very majestic in his mind, but now even though
Now that he's older, he's still a little afraid that his aunt has never introduced him to the middle-aged uncle's true identity, and he didn't ask, but he guessed it.
After dinner, we arranged a place to rest. My aunt said, "Don't occupy the house. Anzi will leave tomorrow. Why don't we just stay overnight? Let him and Suer live in the same room!"
"How did this happen, man..." The middle-aged uncle stopped hastily. He probably also heard about his identity as an eunuch.
He could feel that cousin Silk'er was very kind to him. The little eunuch was a person who had gone through many trials and tribulations. He could tell that the kind of kindness was the kindness of a woman to a woman, or even the favor between family members, but there was no opposite sex towards him at all.
Longing, curiosity or yearning, in her mind she has determined that he is a neutral person who is neither male nor female.
After getting into Hong Silk's bed, the little eunuch casually asked:
"Cousin, I only remember that your mother's name is Silk, what's your first name?"
Silk'er said quietly: "After my father died, I took my mother's surname. My name is Pan Jinlian."
