Chapter Eighty-Four: To Favor or Not to Favor, It's a Question!

The news that the fourth master walked into the west courtyard again, and it didn't take long for it to spread all over the fourth master's backyard, although Li was still smiling and shaking the rattle in his hand, but his eyes were already cold, so that Hongyun cried directly, and then he collected his attention.

And the Ulanala clan didn't react from the side, but when he saw the somewhat angry handwriting, he could also see that the master's mood was not very good.

As for Song Gege, Wang Gege, and Yigege, they can directly ignore the past, after all, Guargarfu is a side blessing, and their status is higher than them, if they dare to express a little unhappiness, they will also be said to be resentful.

For a few days, the fourth master stayed in the west courtyard, which made the Wulanala clan, which was originally quite calm, completely uncalm.

November 20, as soon as the fourth master returned home, he came to the room of the Wulanala clan in the main courtyard, the Wulanala clan was busy with people waiting for the fourth master to wash, and he put away half of the scriptures copied on the table, washed the ink marks on his hands, came to the fourth master, took the comb in the maid's hand, sat behind the fourth master, and combed the fourth master's hair with gentle movements.

After combing for a hundred times, the Wulanala clan put down the comb in his hand, braided the fourth master, and sat down next to the fourth master again.

"Master, why did you come back so early today!" Ulanala smiled and handed over the teacup and asked softly.

The fourth master didn't think much about it, and said casually: "There is nothing to do in the hall, and besides, it is almost the end of the year, and the people who came to the mansion to ask for a meeting have also lined up, so they came back early." ”

"Lord has seen a little less in the past few days, but the people who serve on weekdays are not satisfied!" Ula Nara continued to ask.

The fourth master turned around and glanced at the Wulanala clan, and saw that the Wulanala clan's expression was normal, so he said slowly: "The people who serve are good." And the master is still a little fatter, even the robes on his body are newly made, and the previous robes are a little tight!"

Only then did the Wulanala clan realize that the fourth master had really gained some weight, and he smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "It's all the concubine's negligence!"

"It's okay, we're husband and wife. There is no need to be so restrained!" The fourth master didn't want to go back to the house. He also wrenched his face and said with a smile.

Ulanala didn't know what to say, but smiled and nodded. And he said no more.

The fourth master sat for a while, feeling a little bored, and couldn't help but want to get up and take a look at the little man in the west courtyard.

But before the fourth master moved, the Ulanala clan smiled and spoke. "Master, look at it's almost noon. I'm afraid that the master will be hungry when he goes back and forth, so the concubine specially asked someone to stew a black-bone chicken with mountain ginseng, which has been stewed for more than an hour, and the master has also finished drinking the soup. Moisten your body!"

"Okay then!" The fourth master thought about it, and indeed hadn't eaten in the main courtyard for a few days, and nodded with a smile.

Ulanala hurriedly instructed the maid to prepare some light dishes in the dining room. Only then did he sit down in front of the fourth master again.

The fourth master listened to the words of the Wulanala clan to the maid, and his brows frowned slightly unconsciously.

In fact, the fourth master does prefer light dishes. But he's not a guy who likes to live the same thing.

And the people who served around the fourth master, including Su Peisheng, were naturally careful, so they just ordered the dining room to prepare light dishes, for fear that those greasy dishes would appear, which would make this master unhappy. But with this arrangement, it's okay for a few days, and in the long run, it naturally makes the fourth master feel that the food is not palatable, and the food is not fragrant, and the people who serve around him only treat the food sent by this dining room as tired, and they are staring at the dining room to make plain dishes.

This dish is becoming more and more vegetarian, and on the fourth master's dinner table, it is often difficult to see even a meat dish, even if the soup of those vegetarian dishes is boiled by old chicken, the taste is also a little less meaningful.

The fourth master is a person who doesn't like to talk about ideas, so he can only eat and drink, and he eats less and less, plus the fourth master, a typical workaholic, often forgets to eat when he is busy, which hurts his stomach.

Since Ta Erfu entered the house, the daily meal is mostly some Sichuan cuisine with a strong taste, and he likes to study some convenient snacks, which are also street snacks in this era, so that the fourth master also tasted some.

This taste doesn't matter, if he hadn't tried other flavors of food, the fourth master might not feel uncomfortable, now that he is used to eating all kinds of dishes, he is naturally reluctant to let the fourth master eat those plain dishes, and Su Peisheng is a timid person, he doesn't dare to assert himself, since he can't eat it, then the fourth master is naturally used to rubbing rice in the west courtyard.

Now when the fourth master heard that he was going to eat light dishes again, he felt a little uncomfortable. The spicy beef seems to taste quite delicious, and the sweet pine nut corn seems to taste very chewy, and even the boiled fish that Narfu himself brought out makes the fourth master a little unable to stop eating.

Of course, the fourth master is not an unrestrained person, he knows that his stomach is not very good, so he just tastes it, and this also makes him eat a lot of rice these days.

Now these days, Erfu seems to be accustomed to the fourth master's work and rest time, and gets up with the fourth master, seeing that the fourth master always has some breath in the morning, he knows that this master's stomach is not very good, and specially ordered the dining room to prepare hot porridge and milk dumplings every day to nourish the stomach, staring at the fourth master to eat, and then sending the fourth master out with a smile.

Although this matter is not remarkable, the other women in the mansion really haven't done it, and I don't know if they don't dare, or if they didn't find out. But Erfu only thinks that they don't dare to get better, otherwise the fourth master is really miserable, and the wives and concubines around him don't care about his body.

A little thing is the easiest thing to impress.

And the fourth master, a child raised by Queen Xiaoyi since he was a child, although he has not been treated harshly by Queen Xiaoyi, but he is not a biological mother and son, and he is always a little bit of meaning, and the fourth master is a precocious child, so naturally he will not let Queen Xiaoyi worry more about his food and clothing, so he has also developed the habit of eating whatever people give.

When she returned to Concubine De's side, Concubine De had a little fourteen under her knees who were not sensible, and Concubine De didn't know how to deal with this eldest son who was fostered under the knees of Queen Xiaoyi, so that the fourth master was used to a life of being ignored.

Now Dorf, the little man who is worried about him, watching the villain deliberately drink porridge with a straight face, makes the fourth master feel warm in his heart. Such a warm current is enough to make the fourth master look at Erfu differently.

........................

The maid who was waiting beside the Ulanala clan quickly arranged the meal, and a large square table was set up in the hall, and there were two small tables on the other side, on which were all kinds of dishes, and after lighting a touch of incense, they came to the Ulanala clan. "Master, master. It's ready!"

The fourth master bowed slightly, glanced at the dining table in the hall, and became a little impatient. However, when the fourth master thought that the Wulanala clan was the Fujin in the end. always had to give a little face, but he didn't throw up his sleeves and left, got up and came to the table.

The two sat down face to face, and the Ulanala clan smiled and sent a bowl of japonica rice to the fourth master. said softly: "Master, this rice was specially simmered with tea leaves by the concubine." With a touch of fragrance, it is very refreshing!"

"En!" the fourth master took it casually, picked up a dozen or so rice grains, and put them in his mouth.

Really. The delicate japonica rice seems to have a subtle bitter taste in addition to the original rice aroma and sweetness. It's the taste of tea, but the fourth master thinks it's a little weird.

But fortunately, the fourth master is not too picky. I didn't like it, but I put the rice in my mouth.

Wulanala casually grabbed a chopstick Longjing Zhusun, sent it to the plate in front of the fourth master, and said softly: "Master, this thing is fresh, you can taste it!"

"You eat, you don't have to be busy. The fourth master frowned slightly and said.

After speaking, the fourth master put down the rice bowl, added a chopstick to dry the pot duck, felt that the taste was not bad, so he ate two more bites in a row, but before the fourth master swallowed the duck in his mouth, the Wulanala clan opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Master, the ancestors set the rules, but three, if you continue to eat, I am afraid that this dish will not be served again for some days!"

The fourth master didn't think much about it, just smiled casually, put the dish aside, and continued to eat the rice.

"Master, I have always been a person who is wet with rain and dew, but these days, I am afraid that I have forgotten the sisters in our yard, if this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that others will have resentment!"

"What, what did someone say in this house?" the fourth master quietly put down his chopsticks and asked softly.

Wulanala hooked his lips and smiled, put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, took the handkerchief in the maid's hand, and touched the corners of his lips, and then continued: "Master, the sisters in our house, they are naturally all good, but they didn't say anything, but after all, the big guys live in the same house, if it goes on like this, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have some bad thoughts."

The concubine also knows that the master is a long-term person, but after all, Sister Erfu is still young, and it is inevitable that she will be pampered and arrogant, and I am afraid that it will not be beautiful when the time comes, and the master thinks that what the concubine said has some truth!"

The fourth master smiled noncommittally, took the handkerchief in the maid's hand, touched the corners of his lips slightly, got up and said, "The master knows!"

After saying that, he walked outside without looking back, leaving the Ulanala clan sitting at the square table.

Mama Fu looked at the somewhat uncontrollable smiling face of the Wulanala clan, hurriedly waved her hand, sent away the maids who were waiting in the room, helped the Wulanala clan to get up, and came to the east room, and then said softly: "Master, why are you bothering, no matter how favored the master of the West Courtyard is, he will always be able to go beyond you, and our eldest brother is the eldest son of the master, why do you bother to make the master unhappy for these little things!"

"As a Chang Fujin, my accusation is to persuade the master.

If it is really for the master to spoil her Guerjia clan alone, and let other people in the house make trouble, I am afraid that she will be held accountable by the head of the palace at that time, and it will be me again.

Besides, Mama, you don't know the character of our master, if no one wakes up, and the Guerjia clan doesn't make a big mistake, I'm afraid that he will always spoil the Guarjia clan, just like the original Li family, if it weren't for the Li family's conceit and pampering, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter successively, he lost his sense of proportion, and he wouldn't let the master go so far away from her.

And the identity of this Guerjia clan is very different from the Li family, it is also a serious old Manchurian surname, and it is also intertwined in the court, her Ama has a high official position, and she is a military general who holds military power. More worried me than the threat that the Li clan posed to me.

Now that I've passed away, I've got a lot less help from my family, and Honghui is so young, if I really wait for the day when the Guerjia clan climbs on my head, then Honghui and I can still have a way to live!

Isn't that an example of what happened in the Seventh Master's Mansion!

This side of Fujin is said to be a side room. But in a family like us. What's the difference between that and Chang Fujin?

Indeed, now that Guarga. is still a careful one, but if she gives birth to an heir, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not have other thoughts, and it is difficult to guarantee that her grandfather will not be because of his love for the Guerjia clan. And pave the way for the children of the Guarga clan!

Although this man is mostly affectionate, he is our lord's temperament. That's a real cold-hearted person, if it's someone he values, then he'll definitely help!

At the beginning, the Li family's Ama was just a talent who failed many times. That's not to let our lord stubbornly become a county order, if it weren't for their shallow eyes. I'm afraid that the position of the prefect can also let him do it.

And the Guerjia clan is not a Han military banner like the Li clan. The family is already thick, and she is from the white flag of the three flags, if she really grabs the opportunity, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Wulanala didn't know that she would make the fourth master unhappy when she said this, and how could she not know that this woman was living with the favor of men, but she had too much helplessness as a concubine, and there were too many rules, she could only do things according to the rules, even if she would lose the favor of the fourth master, she could only continue like this, otherwise she would not wait for the fourth master to get tired of her, I am afraid that even the one in the palace would not be able to tolerate her.

Although the Aixin Jueluo family has not abolished the Fujin, but the emperor can be abolished, not to mention her Fujin, she doesn't want to really become the first abolished Fujin of the Qing Dynasty, and she doesn't want her son to lose the position of the son of this world, although the fourth master has not asked for the grace of the saint to set the position of the son of Honghui, but in her mind, that son must be her son's!

In order to make her son Shun LĂŹ's attack, she has to think of another way out, so that the fourth master does not dare to abandon her, and let her become the most virtuous Fu Jin in this clan, but in this way she will definitely entrust the affairs of the house to Fu Mama, and this matter needs to be carefully summed up.

......................................................

On the other hand, the fourth master left the main courtyard a little unhappily, and his face was as black as if soaked in ink, which made Su Peisheng curious about how the master of the main courtyard had offended his master.

The fourth master walked all the way, walked quickly back to the study in the front yard, and drove out all the people who were waiting in the room, leaving Su Peisheng alone.

Su Peisheng secretly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said secretly: Master, you are in a bad mood, can you send the slaves out!

Of course, Su Peisheng only dared to sum it up in his heart, if he said it, then those eunuchs in the front yard, but there were a lot of people waiting to step on him, so he was not stupid.

The master can lose his temper in front of him, which means that he is his own person in the master's heart, then he is the eunuch with face in this house, even if it is the master of the main courtyard, then he has to look up to him.

Su Peisheng tried his best to shrink his senses, but it was obvious that God didn't hear his prayers, or God disliked him and was not sincere, in short, the fourth master noticed him, and asked a question that made him want to cry.

"Su Peisheng, the master asks you, the master wants to be close to the person he likes, is it so uneasy for them!" The fourth master sat behind the bookcase and asked in a deep voice.

Su Peisheng really wanted to hehe, so that the fourth master knew what it meant to stop chatting, but he didn't dare, because he dared to face the fourth master, and the fourth master dared to beat him stupidly.

"Master, the slave is a eunuch in the end, I really don't know the relationship between these men and women!" Su Peisheng showed an expression of "the slave is very inferior, the slave is very stupid", smiled bitterly, and said.

"Ye asked you to say, you just have to say it, even if you say it wrong, Ye doesn't blame you!" the fourth master continued to ask.

Su Peisheng's body immediately became two points shorter, wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and said softly: "If you go back to your master, the slave is a rough man, and he has been bought into the palace to serve since he was a child, and he really hasn't seen many things, but with the careful thinking of the slave, the master should get along with whoever he likes to get along with, then he will get along with whom."

In the end, this matter is still a matter of willing to fight. If you don't like to go to other places, even if you go, you won't be in a good mood, in the heart of the minion, then you naturally want you to be happy.

Besides, the slaves were waiting in the palace back then, looking at our long live Lord, it was not even rain and dew. Don't you usually prefer to go to those young and beautiful concubines!

So the minion thought. This matter is still good according to the master's wishes, but the master also has to take care of the face of the other masters in the house, after all, this backyard is calm. It can also let you concentrate on serious things, isn't it!"

Su Peisheng's brain, it was really not in vain, and in a blink of an eye, he came up with a statement that could not be offended, and shouted loyally. As long as you are happy, you can go wherever you want. On the one hand, it shows the meaning of loyalty to his master, and links the peace of this backyard to where this master goes on weekdays, so that he can make his own decisions.

A word came out. Su Peisheng gave seventy-two likes to himself in his heart.

The fourth master pondered for a long time before he scolded with a smile, "Lord's Emperor Ama." That's what you guy can talk about, and I'm not afraid that people will punish you for a felony of exterminating the Nine Clans!"

"The slave has been sold into the palace since he was a child. I don't even know where the slave's family is, and even if he is really punished, he is just a slave!" Su Peisheng smiled bitterly and said.

The fourth master never thought about Su Peisheng, a person who has been serving by his side since he was a child, he didn't even know where his hometown was, whether there was anyone at home, etc., he showed a stunned expression, and then said softly: "Okay, don't lose your face! When the master is free, he will definitely arrange someone to find your hometown for you, so that you can return to your roots in the future, and you will not be hastily sent to the corpse bureau!"

Su Peisheng is really happy in his heart this time, don't look at Su Peisheng who has served in the palace for many years, but in the end he still misses this family, but he himself really can't find the tooth of the person who sold him into the palace back then, so this matter has always been hidden in his heart, and he also thinks that when he adopts an adopted son in the future, it will not be out of the house, and someone can collect his body, burn two pieces of paper money, and send a funeral or something.

Unexpectedly, his master was kind and agreed to such a thing, which made him a lot more motivated, which he didn't expect at all.

Under the great joy, Su Peisheng, who has always been clever, was also stunned, so he knelt on the ground and knocked his head several times, until the fourth master shouted helplessly, and then he got up again.

It's just that Su Peisheng stood aside, and he couldn't stop smiling on his face, and his mouth was about to crack to the root of his ear, which made the fourth master shake his head helplessly again, and even wrote down this matter in his heart, which also saved Su Peisheng from being happy.

You must know that in this era, the palace maids are all from the family of clothed slaves, and those who are selected to enter the palace can wait until they are twenty-five years old to get out of the palace to marry, and there is a hope.

This eunuch is different from the palace maids, and there are more Han people, except for some young eunuchs who were sold into the palace to serve by their teeth, and more people who can't survive outside, who cut off their descendants and begged people to enter the palace, which is basically to die in the palace.

Unless it is a eunuch like Su Peisheng who has been serving by the side of the fourth master since he was a child and has become the confidant of the fourth master, this has a serious name, otherwise it is all called by Xiao Zhangzi, Little Prince, Little Lizi, Xiao Zhaozi, Little Qianzi, Little Grandson, and Little Lizi, and it is a blessing to be able to live peacefully until death.

Most of them were made scapegoats, sent to the Criminal Division, and tortured to death, so they were directly pushed into the corpse bureau, and only a handful of ashes were scattered into a dry well in the palace, that is, they understood this life.

And like Su Peisheng, he can't find his hometown and relatives, so he mostly adopted an orphan as an adopted son, and when he died, he let the grave be repaired like this, and it can be regarded as a lifetime.

Now that I have the opportunity to find my own family and adopt a child who is related to me by some blood, I always have to be a little closer than the children outside, and with this relationship, I can reduce the coefficient of being swept away by my adopted son and dying of restless death, no wonder Su Peisheng will be so happy.
