Chapter 513: Selfishness

Chapter 513

Well, since the owner is not worried, Yaoqin also put down the big stone in her heart and gave Erfu a quick start.

If you want to talk about Erfu's cooking, it is definitely a theoretical master, and the hands-on ability is basically negligible, and a fried tomato and egg can make a pot black, so that people can't guess the original face of the ingredients.

Fortunately, her current identity has helped her a lot.

For example, at this time, Erfu, who is serious about cooking a home-cooked meal for the fourth master, only needs to stand aside and command, and all the work is handled by Xiaoshengzi and others.

"Master, it's almost here, it's better to go back and rest first, so as not to make the master bored in the room by himself. Yaoqin quickly prepared all the ingredients she needed, sorted them into categories and stacked them in a clean peach-shaped powder-glazed porcelain plate, turned her head to Erfu, and said with a smile.

"That little child, you keep an eye on it!" Erfu didn't like to smell the smell of oil smoke very much, nodded slightly, and said softly to the little child who was shaking the spoon in front of the stove, then beckoned Yaoqin and walked to the upper room together.

In the upper room, the fourth master was half-lying and half-sitting on the big back pillow, looking at the annotations left by Erfu in the notebook, so he didn't notice that Erfu returned to the room, and when he suddenly looked up, he saw a magnified face in front of him, and he was also startled.

Fortunately, his heart was firm enough, and his endurance was strong enough, so he didn't scream like Erfu, but took a deep breath a little uncomfortably and returned to his usual cold appearance.

The fourth master, who returned to normal, raised his hand. Tiptoeing up to himself and deliberately grimacing to scare him, Erf pulled him into his arms, smiled and pointed to a note on Erf's distorted warning words left by the ancients. pinched Erf's pink and fair little face, and said softly, "Naughty." ”

Erfu smiled calmly, reached out and took down the book he was holding, threw it to the side indifferently, and said lightly: "The fourth master actually reads the book, it's really strange." ”

After speaking, he pinched his nose in disgust, urging the fourth master to go to the clean room to wash and change clothes.

This is really not an exaggeration. It's really that the material of the official robe on the fourth master is a little thick, and it is inevitable that he will sweat a little all day.

And that's not all. These days, he has been sitting in the criminal department, following those old men to the prison to check the various criminal cases sent below, and the places in and out are all cells and other places that do not see the light of day. It's a combination of sweat, musty, and blood. It's really a grievance for the little four children's shoes with a slight cleanliness habit.

Thinking so, Erfu pinched the official robe that the fourth master hung on the hanger on the side, pinched it with two fingers, and threw it into the arms of Su Peisheng, who was standing at the door, and told him to take it down and wash it and incense.

Su Peisheng looked at the master of Fujin on the side of the West Courtyard and threw out this official robe that symbolized the identity of the prince so easily with disgust, and he said that he was so afraid, I was really afraid that he was careless and didn't touch it just now. Let the valuable official robe of his own master fall to the ground so gorgeously.

Erfu didn't think as much as Su Peisheng thought.

This stone blue official robe is similar to the school uniform she hated when she was a child. It is just a piece of clothing that must be worn to attend a fixed occasion, and naturally there is not so much awe, so when she saw Su Peisheng actually holding the somewhat smelly clothes, and looked at herself in a daze, Erfu couldn't help but urge with some displeasure: "Go quickly, tomorrow the master will wear it!" At the same time, she also raised her hand and knocked on the official hat inlaid with plain gold and copper tops on the top of Su Peisheng's head, and the official hat that was originally worn on his head was suddenly oblique, blocking Su Peisheng's eyes.

"Eh, the slave will go right away!" Su Peisheng came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly shortened his body, and ran out in response.

"What's wrong with this slave?" Erfu looked at Su Peisheng's back as he scurried out like a rabbit, raised his hand and scratched his head in some confusion, and muttered in a low voice.

"I guess I was scared by you!" The fourth master, who had already washed up and changed into an ivory cloud dragon dark pattern soft satin robe, came to the porch with a smile, stood on Erfu's body, and said loudly.

When Erfu heard this, he was even more puzzled, and just about to ask a question, he noticed that the fourth master came out wearing only a single coat, and hurriedly returned to the room to get a dark blue cloak and put it on the fourth master's body, so while tying the strap on the collar for him, he asked one after another: "Why?"

"It is estimated that in this mansion, only you dare to send the master's official robe to be washed without asking!" The fourth master lowered his head and sniffed the faint jasmine fragrance in Erfu's hair, a shallow smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said softly with a teasing voice.

As a small citizen, Erfu, although she has heard that some precious clothes must be dry cleaned, but please forgive her shallow knowledge, she really has only heard of it, and has never seen it, after coming here, her status has improved, but her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there are special people responsible for taking care of it, she still has no understanding of this, so naturally she doesn't know that the official robe she just threw to Su Peisheng to wash is a very rare fabric, and it can't be washed at will.

"Can't that garment be washed?" asked Erph, in disbelief.

"It can be washed!" For Erfu's somewhat childish answer, the fourth master smiled helplessly, and said softly, "It's just that you can't wash it often, it's usually a sunny day, and you can just hang it outside to blow the wind, and few people will really send it to be washed." ”

"Oh, so that's the case, no wonder Su Peisheng looked at me so stupidly!" Erfu nodded as if he didn't understand, looking at the canopy of trees in the courtyard that had become lush and lush, as if he remembered something, and said with a smile.

"How dare he look at you directly?" the fourth master grabbed another point of attention, and said in a deep voice with a cold gaze.

"I guess I was stunned by what I said. Erfu sensed the coldness in the fourth master's tone, his heart tightened, and he explained with a smile.

After speaking, he dragged the fourth master, who still wanted to say something, to the room, and secretly said that this fourth master was more stingy than ordinary men on some issues.

Back in the room. Erph felt that the room was a little stuffy, so she raised her hand and pushed open a crack in the window, and took a brocade from the inner room and threw it on the Luohan bed. Only then did he throw the screen that the fourth master casually threw aside, hung it on the hanger, sat down next to the fourth master, put the brocade quilt on his own and the fourth master's lap, smiled and talked about the new gadgets he got when he went to the dazzling color workshop today, and used the tea table in front of him to make a demonstration for the fourth master.

"Stuff is really good!

But you just need to know it yourself, don't tell anyone else. This kind of self-defense thing, if more people know about it, this effect will be small. The fourth master smiled and pulled down the sleeve that was held at his elbow for Erfu. Whispered.

Erfu looked at the fourth master who was a little clumsy and helped him arrange his sleeves, his face was slightly reddened, and he pretended to set up the tea table calmly, and put the boxes and other gadgets piled aside. Put it back on the tea table. Only then did he collect the broken hair in his ears, cheekily, leaned on the arms of the fourth master, and said softly: "Well, I know, don't you want to show off with you!"

The fourth master smiled and patted Erfu's shoulder, "It's really like a child." ”

"If it's compared to your age, sir. You're right. Seeing that the fourth master seemed to be in a good mood today, Erfu also smiled and teased. is even more cute on the cheeks, compared to a scissor hand.

"If you talk nonsense, I'm going to punish you. ”

As he spoke, the fourth master moved his eyes to Erfu's chest, and saw that Erfu's eyes were misty and his cheeks were flushed, so he withdrew his eyes, sat up straight seriously, and instructed Yaoqin, who had just walked in from the door, to set the meal.

Dinner is a menu set by Erfu himself, the taste is light and nutritious, especially the Yeshan Zhen black chicken soup stewed on the stove in the afternoon, full of umami, the most suitable for the taste of the four masters.

"It's good to drink two bowls, if you like to drink, I'll let Xiaoshengzi stew it for you tomorrow." Taking the soup bowl handed over by the fourth master again, Erfu looked at the little chicken soup left and said with a smile.

The fourth master also knew that he would not be able to eat if he drank too much soup, so he didn't say anything, but picked up the rice that had been dried warm on the side, and said with a smile: "Are you asking Ye Ming to come and see you?"

"Love doesn't come, it's best if you don't come, so I can go and accompany Xiaoqi.

Since Xiao Qi was born, I, as a mother, have really never slept in the same bed with Xiao Qi!" Erfu blushed, glanced at Yaoqin and the others standing next to the floor cover, glared at the fourth master with some disgust, and muttered angrily.

This thought cannot be suppressed.

I haven't thought about this before, and suddenly remembered my eldest daughter Xiao Qi, who is already so old in a blink of an eye, and Erfu really has a huge sense of loss that my family has a daughter who has just grown up and a sense of fear that Xiao Qi will leave her side one day, and her mood suddenly fell, and she didn't have the mood to laugh with the fourth master, and her eyes looked at the little candlelight on a floor-to-ceiling gilt candlestick on the corner of the floor cover, silently thinking about her thoughts.

"What are you thinking?" The fourth master, who had quietly eaten a small half bowl of rice, looked up, and saw Erfu's lonely face, and asked hurriedly.

There was a bitter smile on the corner of Erfu's mouth, and she turned her head stiffly, looked at the fourth master's eyes full of worry, and asked in a sad tone: "Xiao Qi, if she gets married, won't I be able to see her often!"

"Why did you suddenly remember this, but who told you what?" Hearing this, the fourth master put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, raised his hand to wipe the folds of Erfu's eyebrows, twisted his brows, and asked in a cold voice.

It's not that the fourth master's mood changes too quickly, but in the fourth master's mind, Erfu has always been heartless, even when he is unhappy, he is nagging and complaining, instead of such a bitter smile on his face, which makes his heart hurt.

What's more, Erfu provoked this topic, it was so sudden, I can't help but think about it, it shouldn't be that someone said something bad in the ear of this somewhat innocent and innocent little girl, otherwise how could she suddenly mention Xiao Qi's marriage in the future!

"What are you talking about?" Erfu didn't know that the fourth master was already thinking crookedly, so he turned his head with one hand on his cheek and asked.

Although he had long known that Erfu was easy to get distracted, he didn't want this girl to be out of the world in front of him, and when he felt that he was being treated coldly, he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice with some anger: "Did someone tell you about Xiao Qi?"

"No!

I just suddenly felt that the two children, Xiao Qi and Hongxuan, had grown up unconsciously.

Thinking that Xiao Qi will leave the West Cross Courtyard and move out in the future, I'm afraid I won't see each other a few times a year, I feel uncomfortable, and I wish she could stay by my side for the rest of my life.

Thinking about it like this, I'm really irresponsible.

She is only so old, Xiao Qi was handed over by me to take care of her grandmother, and she didn't even have the experience of coaxing her to sleep in person, do you say she will blame me in the future!" The more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, and I didn't care about the fact that the fourth master hadn't finished eating, so she held the fourth master's hand tightly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and asked repeatedly.

"You......" The fourth master really couldn't understand Erfu's motherly feelings that suddenly appeared, so he helplessly raised his hand and rubbed the top of Erfu's hair, and sighed and said, "Xiao Qi is so old, and it will take at least ten years to get married!"

Besides, even if she marries in the future, the master will find a way to keep her in the capital, don't you believe in your master's ability?

When the time comes, if you want to have a child, just go straight over.

What's the matter, don't you even have this privilege?"

"That's right, it's just that it's not as convenient as living together, at least now I can see Xiao Qi when I walk over. Although Erfu said this, she didn't agree with the fourth master's statement in her heart.

After all, no one can predict what will happen ten years from now.

Even according to the history she knows, the fourth master will not be far from ascending to the throne of Dabao ten years later, she believes that the fourth master can marry Xiao Qi to the powerful family in Beijing, but she is also afraid that there will be a new person around the fourth master at that time, and there will be a more favored child born to him by others, and she will forget what he promised now.

What's more, even if the fourth master will keep his promise and not marry Xiao Qi far away, but Xiao Qi will marry a person/wife at that time, she will always have her own personal affairs to be busy, and there will be children to take care of, and she will get older and older, where will she have the energy to run around!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt distraught, and Erf couldn't help but let out a few more sighs.

The fourth master didn't care about any principles and rules at this time, and just wanted to appease Erfu, who had complained to the extreme, grabbed Erfu's little hand, and said in a deep voice with distressed eyes: "Don't think about it, it's a big deal that the master will choose a husband with many brothers in the family, so that she doesn't have to worry about the trivial matters of the housekeeper, and it is best to let her recruit her husband into the door without even going out of the house, so that she can always be by your side, how about it?"

Although Erfu was very touched by the performance of the fourth master, he was not stupid yet.

In every dynasty and generation in history, those royal princesses can marry, they can get married, and even in the Tang Dynasty, princesses can also raise faces, but they have never heard of recruitment, at least in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there is no one.

In order not to embarrass the fourth master for today's joke one day, Erfu reluctantly squeezed out a wry smile and said in a low voice: "Forget it, where is there a person like us who recruits trouble."

Don't comfort me, I just can't turn around for a while, just wait a few days. ”

The fourth master also knew that what he just said was difficult to achieve, but in the face of such a depressed Erfu, he felt really uncomfortable.

The fourth master, who has always been fair and strict, started to be selfish for the first time.
