Chapter 716: Small Talk
Chapter 716
"Ye knows that you have hatred and resentment in your heart, but Ye promises to give you a satisfactory answer in the future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" The ridicule in Erfu's eyes fell on the eyes of the fourth master without concealment, a trace of embarrassment flashed in the eyes of the fourth master, he looked at Chen Fu who was standing under the corridor, secretly gritted his teeth and swallowed the words that came to his mouth, reached out and clasped Erfu's hands, and assured him seriously.
Erfu doesn't know how many times she has heard such a promise from the fourth master, at the beginning, every time she heard such a promise from the fourth master, she always felt sorry for the forbearant fourth master and understood his helplessness, but when she heard more such assurances, she gradually became numb.
However, she still needs the fourth master to be able to distract and protect Xiao Qi in the house, and to rely on the favor of the fourth master to live a limited life in Zhuangzi, so she didn't want to have a complete stiff with the fourth master, and as soon as the fourth master's voice fell, she nodded with a look of understanding, and covered it up with the action of holding her forehead, put away the sneer and mockery in her eyes, and when her expression completely returned to normal, she showed a slightly reluctant smile.
At sunset, the fourth master, who seemed to be in a good mood, finally got up and left.
Erfu, who saw him out of the courtyard, sighed unhurriedly, and called Yaoqin to enter Lily's room together, "Even if you girl is trying to avoid suspicion, you should come over and ask the fourth master for peace." ”
"Sister......" Lily, who came forward, stomped her feet and said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you, I'll just come over to tell you, the cross-courtyard has been cleaned up, and in a while, let people pack up your own luggage and move it over, this makes you live in the wing, it's really wronged you!" Erph smiled and brushed the top of Lily's hair, took Lily's hand very affectionately, and said softly while walking towards the Luohan bed placed outside.
The two of them held hands in this way, talked, walked to the side of Luohan's bed, and sat on both sides of the small tea table.
After a while, before Erfu had finished drinking a cup of tea, Yu'er had already packed Lily's body and luggage very quickly.
"Let's go!
My sister will accompany you to take a look, although the cross courtyard is not big, and there are only three rooms, but the courtyard is very elegantly arranged, you should like it. Erfu put down the half-drunk tea bowl, glanced at Yu'er, and said to Lily with a smile.
Lily was pulled up by Erfu, half-pushed and half-on-the-spot to the main courtyard leading to the cross-courtyard moon cave door, but between the words, there was still some reluctance, as if he was very reluctant to part with Erfu, and saw that Erfu, who already knew about Lily and the little maid's words, was tired for a while, but considering the close observation, Erfu did not show disgust, only smiled and pulled Lily closer to the cross-courtyard, pointed to a corner of the pavilion next to the upper room of the cross-courtyard, and said softly: " This is said to be across the courtyard, but it is separated from the main courtyard by a courtyard wall, and there is a moon cave door connection, if you want to go over to see your sister, you can go over at any time, your sister misses you, and you can also come to you for tea. ”
As he spoke, Erfu had already pulled the lily and walked to the gazebo in the corner of the upper room, "This gazebo is my favorite place, I used to live here by myself, and there is no neighbor in this neighborhood, even if I want to find someone to drink tea with me, you can live in the courtyard, we sisters are sitting here in the warm sunshine drinking hot tea, or listening to books, listening to music, and then not enjoying the flowers, it is also very interesting!"
"Since my sister likes it, then Lily lives here!" Listening to Erf's words, if Lily continued to refuse, it would be a little uncomfortable, so she waited for Erf's words to fall and nodded her head with a smile.
"Nacheng, let's go in and take a turn, you can see if there is anything you are not satisfied with, and then let them put all your things in place, and move here in the evening!" After saying that, Erfu pulled Lily into the upper room across the courtyard.
The upper room across the courtyard, said to be the upper room, in fact, there are three, the width, depth and the size of the wing room, there is not much difference, as for the home furnishings, there is no difference, the only difference is that the materials are better, the carving is more exquisite, even if it is Erfu look, suddenly look at it, there is also some where to tell where it is.
However, this ancient etiquette and religious rules are strict, even if ordinary people, living in the upper room, must be the elders of the family, and most of the people living in the wing room are juniors, some large families, some such as Erfu cherish the slave maid, but also close to the maid are arranged in the wing, it is precisely because of this, Lily, a concubine who grew up in the countryside since childhood, returned to Guerjia Mansion, and was then ridiculed by the servants in the house. After looking down on her, she became more and more decent, and paid more attention to this, so when Erfu arranged her to live in the wing, she was really unhappy, especially after knowing that the two palace maids who lived in the other side of the room were Erfu's two close-serving maids, she really hated the root of her teeth, thinking that Erfu was deliberately trying to lose her face.
Although the upper room across the courtyard is not larger than the wing room, it just satisfies the vanity of Lily.
Erfu looked at the slight throbbing in Lily's eyes and shook her head secretly, but she quickly cheered up, smiled and went back to the main courtyard with Lily to eat.
The two sisters set up a table in the upper room to eat, and Erfu did not leave Yaoqin and others to serve by her side, and she really didn't like to eat with the help of others, on the contrary, Lily always kept her close maid Yu'er by her side to make vegetables.
For this, although Erfu was a little unaccustomed to this, he didn't say anything, only smiled and pushed a few light vegetarian dishes in the direction of Lily, and personally served a bowl of Babao duck soup, handed it to Lily, and said softly: "I saw that your appetite was not very good yesterday, so I specially asked Xiaoshengzi to prepare a few light foods, you taste them, see if they meet your appetite." ”
Lily took a sip of the eight-treasure duck soup, and then twisted the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth reservedly, as if she was participating in a grand banquet, and replied elegantly and generously: "I am worried about my sister, but I have always had a small appetite, and it is not that my sister makes the food unpalatable." ”
"That's good, it's a blessing to be able to eat, but don't listen to what Mama Jiaoxi said, even the food is not delicious. Erfu was just saying kind words, not really worried that Lily would not eat well, so as soon as Lily said this, she also went down the slope to the donkey.
The two sisters just had dinner with you and me.
Erf wanted to leave Lily in the room to drink tea for a while, but when she saw that Lily had been paying attention to the movement in the yard, she laughed and joked with her, and asked her to go back to rest in the courtyard.
Actually, Erfu had good intentions, thinking that those little maids were moving things back and forth, although it was not dusty, it was not quiet after all, and the master would generally avoid such a scene, but she saw that Lily was not at ease, so she let Lily go back.
In the final analysis, Lily's reputation on the outside is just the good name of her deliberate manners and various talents, but the little family spirit in her bones has not been completely shaken off, just like her imposter crossing girl.
It's just that Erfu is a big grinning character, compared to the more deliberate performance of Lily, the performance is better, not to mention that Erfu has been with the fourth master all these years, and she has also grown a little, standing next to Lily, even if she doesn't deliberately bring out the shelf, she is always more expensive than Lily, no wonder Lily is unwilling to come out in front of her to ask for a salute to the fourth master.
It was only at this time that Erfu figured this out, thanks to Yaoqin's gossip reminder, she silently lit a candle for her IQ, sorted out her mood, and instructed Yaoqin to take out a piece of cut Yunjin material from the luggage that Zhang Bao brought over.
This is when she was in Shengjing, the embroidery girl in the Nishang Pavilion was cut from a light purple and a dark purple cloud brocade material, it was originally her whim, thinking about the mother and son clothes she had seen in modern times, she thought it was very cute, so she asked the embroidery girl to measure it for her, and according to the size provided by Yaoqin, a total of six pieces of material of different sizes were cut.
At that time, what she was thinking about was that she personally selected the patterns, embroidered them by herself, and when she returned to Beijing, she would change them into the children of all sizes in the family and the fourth master, and wear this parent-child outfit to participate in the reception banquet held by the fourth master for her.
She planned well, but reality gave her a big mouth to hate.
Now, Hongxuan and Xiao Jiu have passed away, she and the fourth master have made such a scene, and the only child who is still good is Xiao Qi, so when Sheng Jing sent these materials over, Yaoqin put them into the warehouse as soon as possible, just because she was afraid that Erfu would be sentimental when she saw these materials, but now she didn't know how she was brought over by Zhang Bao, and she was just seen by Erfu.
At this moment, when Yaoqin saw Erfu mention this piece of material, she felt a thrill in her heart.
Erfu turned her head as if she had a sense in her heart, and faced the little tangled expression on Shang Yaoqin's face, she also figured out what Yaoqin was worried about, and explained with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I just want to make clothes for Xiaoqi's child."
Speaking of which, she is so old now, I always feel as if she has grown up in a blink of an eye, and in retrospect, I really haven't done anything for her as a mother.
I heard people say before, this ordinary child, the clothes on the body, are made by Eniang herself, I think so much, I always feel sorry for her, and there is just such a cut of material to put away, I don't have anything to do now, maybe do some embroidery work, but also let me not be so cranky. ”
After speaking, Erfu got up from the cabinet in the inner room, turned out a small burden, and opened it to reveal a stack of embroidery pieces with different patterns inside, these embroidery pieces are all from Suzhou embroidery girl to come, piece by piece, she rummaged through it and found a three-foot square embroidery of hibiscus flowers.
On the embroidery piece, the large and small hibiscus flowers, the posture is different, the green leaves are set off extraordinarily delicate, and a few colorful butterflies embroidered with silver wire and gold thread are hidden or revealed, adding a touch of vitality to it.
This is Erf's favorite embroidery piece.
Originally, she was thinking that when she was celebrating the New Year, she would use this embroidery piece to make a cape shoulder collar position, which was both festive and not too conspicuous, which was a good choice, but now she felt that there was no need, and then she thought about Xiao Qi who stayed in the house, but just used such a flowery embroidery piece to make a new dress and change her mood, so as not to let Xiao Qi have been immersed in sadness and couldn't get out, and she was always sad and sad at a young age.
After a while, Yaoqin took out the ironing and smoothing material from the corner cabinet and sent it to Erfu's hand, Erfu pretended to flip through it casually, rubbed the piece of material belonging to Hongxuan with one hand, hesitated for a moment, sighed, and seemed to take out Xiao Qi's piece very easily, then pushed away the other neatly stacked materials, turned his head and said, "Keep the other pieces of material!"
After saying that, she took the silk thread from the basket and matched the color of the material.
The fine light purple cloud brocade is really as soft and smooth as a cloud in your hand, a few strands of bright purple embroidery thread are placed on the top, and with the bright purple brocade next to the embroidery piece embroidered with hibiscus flowers, Erfu nodded with satisfaction in the fading light outside the window, and sat back on the Luohan bed placed in the outer room.
"Do you have a bright purple brocade in the luggage we brought?" After determining the color, Erfu took the embroidery piece in her hand and looked at it, she planned to use this embroidery piece to make a pipa placket vest for Xiao Qi.
To say that Zhang Bao brought a lot of luggage, but there was no material for making clothes, Yaoqin flipped through the list and shook her head, Erfu saw this, smashed her mouth, and said: "If there is no ready-made, forget it, you let Wang Shoucai run for a while, let him go to Lin Yu's to say, and order Lin Yu's to send someone to Beijing to buy a good brocade material and come back, and take this embroidery piece to her as a reference!" After speaking, she handed the embroidery piece to Yaoqin, picked up the ironing and smoothing materials, compared the front and back, left and right, lit the candlestick next to Luohan's bed and started needlework.
Erfu's needlework, compared to those embroidery girls, is not able to do it, but it can be regarded as a person, especially over the years for the fourth master to make a lot of clothes, shoes and socks, just a little bit of honed out, but to do women's clothing, this is the first time, so she is a little unconfident, she compared her own flag sewing piece, while listening to the movement outside the window, in one breath put the two sleeves up.
"Whew...... I haven't moved the needle for too long, why do I always feel that something is wrong, you can also help me take a look!" Erfu put the two pieces of material on the Luohan bed, looked left and right, called Yaoqin and Ya'er, took a long breath, and asked in a low voice.
