Entering the Red Chamber: Qingwen, rush forward!

Xiao Qizi, the purchasing eunuch in the palace, decided to repay Jia Yuanchun's kindness for many years with his death.Early the next morning, he wrote a secret letter, instructing the two brothers in the family to change their names and surnames immediately and leave their hometowns.A year later, if everything is fine, I will return to my hometown.

As for his parents, he also wrote a letter to his uncle in his hometown: If something happened to his parents, he would trouble everyone to bury them so that they could be buried in peace.

As for himself, Xiao Qizi has no plans at all: he should have been buried in a mass grave more than ten years ago, but now that he has lived for more than ten years, he has already made a lot of money.

After doing all this, he began to use the personal connections accumulated over the past ten years.Xiao Qizi sticks to one principle in his daily work: he would rather suffer a big loss than take advantage of a small advantage!Therefore, over the years, there are countless people who have made friends with him, both inside and outside the palace.

He carefully went through all the connections: he only picked out those who were the most reliable, those who had great influence in his hands, or those who were worth making friends with.Afterwards, he thought it over and over again, and then he started to secretly contact people, whispering in a tactful way.

During this period, Baoqin came several times.Every time, they come and go in a hurry in the middle of the night.Seeing Baoqin's anxious face, he comforted him every time: "Girl, don't worry! The things you want are really taboo, and they are hard to get. Don't worry when you tell your mother, I will definitely get them! "

After nearly a month like this, the empress in Fengzao Palace seemed to be getting more and more anxious, sending Baoqin to inquire about the news every night.Finally, one day, when Baoqin came to inquire again, Xiao Qizi handed the strange poison "Heartbeat" into her hands.

This time, Baoqin was not in a hurry.She put away the medicine close to her body, sat under the dim shadow of the lamp, and silently looked at Xiao Qizi.

"Thank you!" she whispered.

"Girl, why are you being polite to me? If it wasn't for you and your mother that day, I would have been thrown into a mass grave long ago. I'm afraid my parents and brothers would also be implicated by me. Now that I have done such a little thing for you, what's the matter?" Thank you?"

Baoqin smiled wryly, and asked softly: "Are you very close to your parents and brothers?"

"Yeah, they are the only people I worry about in this world..." Xiao Qizi sighed.

"I also have parents, and an elder brother. My elder brother is married and has two boys!" Baoqin whispered, her eyes looking into the dim void, as if her relatives were hidden there.

"I haven't seen them for many years..." The voice holding the piano was full of regret, "My two nephews should be more than ten years old now, and they are big boys!"

Xiao Qizi looked at Baoqin silently, and said slowly: "I heard that my elder brother got married this year, but I can't see it..."

"Do you miss them?" Baoqin asked softly, turning her head to look at Xiao Qizi's handsome face.

"Think about it, why don't you think about it? Every night when I go to sleep, I keep thinking about what they look like now, what my parents are doing... thinking about it and falling asleep. Sometimes I think too much, and dreaming at night to dream of them..."

"Me too..." Baoqin stared blankly at Xiao Qizi and said, she saw two tears streaming down his handsome face.

"What do you think we are living for?" Her nose was also a little sore, her heart felt aggrieved, and she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover her eyes-----there were tears gushing out.

"I'm alive, for what? It's just to be able to live, to earn more money for the family, so that the family can live more comfortably than us, without having to wink or be bullied..." Xiao Qizi choked up.

"Yes, I live for my loved ones! Sometimes I live so tired that I wish I could die more comfortably! But my life is not my own. I still have my parents, my brother and my sister-in-law, and two Nephew... I bring a lot of money home every year, only at that time I am happy..." Baoqin lowered her head and sobbed softly.

"What you said is that our lives are not our own. They all say that we are eunuchs who are greedy for money! But the money is for the family, how much can we use for ourselves? We only have family members left. , I don't want to live for a day..." Xiao Qizi also lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, it was his throat blocked by bitterness.

He is just 20 years old this year, but he always feels that he has lived several lifetimes, and has endured the bitterness and hardship of several lifetimes.

"The empress is the same as us, she has many, many family members! Not only her parents, brothers and sisters, but also uncles, grandmothers, and countless lives in the Jia family are on the empress! She is living a more miserable life than us. !” Baoqin choked up and said.

"Yes!" Xiao Qizi also sighed, the virtuous and virtuous concubine who appeared to be infinitely beautiful on the surface, the burden on her shoulders was suffocating.

"I was born in Jia's mansion." Baoqin wiped away tears and looked up at Xiao Qizi and said, "My parents are slaves of Jia's mansion, so is my brother, and so am I..."

"Dad and mother had a hard time at that time. They had to do a lot of dirty and tiring work every day! Even so, my parents didn't want me to suffer, and neither did my brother...they always spoiled me."

"When I was eight years old, I gradually became sensible. I didn't want to make my parents and elder brother so hard! Once I secretly went to the well to fetch water, and was seen by the eldest lady. She asked my name, and the next day I took I'm going to serve in her house."

Baoqin sat on the chair, looked at the flames of the candles, and recalled her short life.

"Since I went to serve the eldest lady, my parents have also been rearranged to work, and my brother doesn't have to work so hard. Because of this, I am grateful to the eldest lady from the bottom of my heart! I swore at that time that I would never leave her in this life, I want to take care of her, I want to protect her!"

"That's right, the empress is very kind to us miserable servants, she is a living Bodhisattva descending to earth..." Xiao Qizi also praised.

Baoqin smiled slightly, and then said: "Later, the eldest lady is going to enter the palace! She forbids me to come with her, saying that this is the most dangerous and shameful place in the world! She has taken my parents, my brother, and me The deed of prostitution was returned to us, and a sum of money was returned to parents..."

"You have served me for nearly ten years, but that's enough! In my eyes, you are just like my own sister! I can't bear to see you jump into that fire pit with me, I can't cheat you!" said the eldest lady.

"No! I must enter the palace with you! I don't feel at ease if you are there alone!" Baoqin recounted the scene of that day.

"Then what happened later? Why did you still come to the palace?" Xiao Qizi asked.

"I'm forcing you to die, so Missy has no choice but to follow..." Baoqin laughed, "The Jia family has given my father, mother and brother a lot of money, so I feel more at ease to enter the palace with Missy..."

"Did you live a hard life in the palace for so many years?" Xiao Qizi asked.

"Bitter, why not? These thousands of days and nights, my lady and I don't know how to get through it. It's too hard, so we just talk about the things at home and talk about it." I'm happy now, and the day is over again..." Baoqin said with a sigh.

"It turns out that we are all the same. I thought I was the only one suffering from being a slave..." Xiao Qizi said with a miserable smile.

"The people in the palace, who is not suffering? Who can live for themselves? Who is not living for the family?" Baoqin murmured, "But I made it through, I don't have to suffer anymore..."
