Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 153 Story
On New Year's Eve, the moon and stars are sparse.

The Su family went up and down, and started to work early in the morning. The whole house was filled with joyful red, and colorful paper flowers were tied on the trees. The washing is clear and translucent, and every decoration is spotless.

The servants changed into new clothes from the inside to the outside, and they were all in high spirits.

Su Tong sat at the table, held Tusu wine in one hand, sipped slowly, and was ready to listen to his father's talk about the grievances and hatred between the Sun and You families and the three generations.

Su Wencheng looked at his daughter's posture when drinking, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then remembered his original wife, who was thin and weak, but she also liked to drink, so she didn't stop her.

Drinking a little Tusu wine during the Chinese New Year is considered appropriate, and Li Xiuniang also took a jug and drank it by herself.

He casually picked up a piece of glutinous rice snacks cut into small slices, dipped in white sugar and held it in his mouth. Su Wencheng sighed and said with a wry smile: "It all happened more than 50 years ago. It's really hard to find out. Back then The old people are dying, and because of the years of famine, even the village has long since ceased to exist."

More than 50 years ago, Eunuch Sun was only a 12-year-old boy. His family was very poor, with only a tile to cover himself, but there were many children. Eunuch Sun had two older brothers, one older sister and one younger brother.

The You family was brought from other places and lived next to the Sun family. However, the conditions of the You family were better. It wasn't that rich, but the family was small and had some savings.

Father You can read and write, can copy and write, and can earn some money by reading and writing letters to others. Mother You is also from a scholarly family. Some female celebrities can also be exchanged for some money. The two of them have only one only daughter, who took a very elegant name, Qiaoqian.

You Qiaoqian is not born like the local girls. The local girls have to cook fire and firewood every day, and many of them go to work in the field at a young age. The skin is dark and rough, and the hands and feet are even thicker. You Qiaoqian is different. Her skin is white and soft, her fingers are slender, and she has two small dimples when she smiles, she is sweet and beautiful.

She is three years older than Eunuch Sun, born like a flower like a jade, a well-known beauty in the local area, and with a gentle temperament, once she is over 13 years old, there are as many men who want to attack her as Guo Jiang Zhiqing.

Eunuch Sun also liked her at that time. It can even be said that Eunuch Sun liked her more than others. The two lived close to each other and were of the same age. They often played together when they were young.

Qiaoqian has a gentle temperament and treats Eunuch Sun tenderly and considerately. She often cooks some delicious food for him and mends his torn shoes, hats, clothes and socks. The two grew up as childhood sweethearts until Eunuch Sun was 12 , Qiaoqian is 15 years old, and has reached the age where she can talk about her husband's family.

The You family only had such a daughter, so they wanted to choose a son-in-law, but the family was not well off. Even if You Qiaoqian was a rare good girl who was beautiful and intelligent, there was still not much choice.

Eunuch Sun was moved. His family has a large population and several brothers. Even if he becomes a married man and cannot be named Sun after giving birth, the family will not lose the incense. Besides, the You family is kind-hearted, and it is decided that if You Qiaoqian If there are more than two sons, one of them can be named Sun.

The two families discussed it. Although the Sun family was not very happy to let their son marry, for fear that their son would be looked down upon by others, You Qiaoqian was really a good girl, and the Sun family was poor. When it comes to the bride, maybe the third child will be the same in the future. It's better to marry You's family. Although the name is not very good, the life of the common people is no more particular than those of the big families.

The You family also thought it was good.

They watched Eunuch Sun grow up, and he knew his roots well. Moreover, this child was different from his two elder brothers.

The two families agreed, they made an appointment first, and wanted to wait until a few years later, after Eunuch Sun became an adult, the two families would get married again. You Qiaoqian was young and could afford to wait.

The two families thought well, but they didn't expect that before You Qiaoqian and Eunuch Sun got married, something happened to the You family. One time, You Qiaoqian and his family went out to offer incense together, and a rogue caught her eye.

Thinking that You Qiaoqian was born beautiful, and she was famous as a delicate flower in the local area. Many people thought of her. This time, she went up the mountain with her parents, and her father accompanied her mother to burn incense. She was very bored, so she just walked around. Looking at the scenery, I accidentally placed an order, and was insulted by a scoundrel.

These people didn't dare to do anything to her at first, they just wanted to take advantage of her, and just laughed a few words on their mouths. They didn't expect You Qiaoqian to be stubborn, not as gentle and amiable as her appearance, and even hit the rogue two with their hands. Slapping, scratching and scratching, the rogue was getting angry, and his movements were a bit big.

At that time, Father You happened to be looking for his daughter. When he heard the movement, his teeth bared and his eyes cracked. He was so angry that his brain exploded. He rushed forward when he mentioned a stone, and with one stone, the rascal's head was blown open.

Originally, this kind of thing was nothing, and the scoundrel deserved to be killed, but he never thought that this scoundrel was not an ordinary person, but the son of a big family in Qingzhou. This family bribed the county magistrate to frame Nayou's father Murder and robbery, the county magistrate sent Father You to prison.

No matter who is responsible for this matter, no one can bear it. The mother and daughter of the You family endured the grief all day long, sold their property, and managed everywhere, and they couldn't care about Eunuch Sun at all.

Eunuch Sun was young and had little experience, so he didn't understand what happened. He only knew that You's family was short of money, so he went around to borrow money. There was a boy named Cheng in their village who also liked You Qiaoqian and wanted to marry him. , but the You family chose such a silly boy as Eunuch Sun, so they couldn't help feeling aggrieved and a little jealous. Seeing Eunuch Sun go around borrowing money, his head got hot for a while, so they made a joke with him.

It is said that there is an old man Liu who is looking for buyers in the village, and he will sell them to the palace if he buys them. If he can enter the palace and serve those nobles, he will reach the sky in one step. When he becomes prosperous in the future, he will be able to take You Qiaoqian. have a good time.

When Eunuch Sun asked, there really was such a person who actually paid fifteen pennies for buying a kid. He didn't understand anything and didn't discuss it with his family, so he went and sold himself.

When the You family went bankrupt and rescued You's father from the prison, Eunuch Sun had already been taken to the capital. Not only the Sun family, but also the You family were dumbfounded.

After hearing such a story, Su Tong didn't know what to say. Speaking of it, the fate of eunuch Sun was not the worst. I don't know how many boys ran to the capital to find a way out after stabbing themselves. Palace to serve, but not everyone can do so.
