Chapter 886
Next to the flower bed in the main courtyard, the fourth master sat alone for a while, called Su Peisheng over, and softly told him to go to the small kitchen to get some small snacks that the girl's family likes to eat and send them over, and then went into the upper room to change into more casual clothes, and when it was getting dark, Erfu led the two hairy children back, and he asked Su Peisheng to take out the food box full of snacks from the pantry, and planned to get up and go to Jingsiju.

Erfu's idea to the fourth master was just to let him do Mo Yaqi's ideological work.
In Erfu's opinion, Mo Yaqi may be resistant to the Li family and herself because of various relationships, but she will definitely not dislike the fourth master getting close to her, because this is an extremely beneficial thing for her, if she can win the attention of the fourth master, not to mention that she can ascend to the sky in one step, but it can also make the future road easier.
"If you think about it, let's go quickly.
Mo Yaqi is a girl, thin-skinned, you have something to say to her. Seeing the fourth master get up, Erfu smiled and took the robe on the hanger next to him, and tidied up the crooked placket for the fourth master, and said with some anxiety.
"Can you not know, if you are tired, you can rest early, you don't have to wait for you. β
After speaking, the fourth master tied the ribbon on the collar of his robe, took the melon skin hat that was casually thrown on the long table and put it on his head, reached out and touched Baifu, who was lying coquettish next to Erfu, and called Su Peisheng to go out.
The three-room meditation residence is the most elegant and secluded place in the house.
Along the plain white and dark cobblestone path, the fourth master came to the outside of the Jingsi Residence with the courtyard door closed, he raised his eyes to look at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, took out the pocket watch in the inner pocket of his shirt and looked at the time, and glanced at Wang Yicheng who was leading the way with a lantern, and Wang Yicheng stepped forward and knocked on the knocker.
Although it was a little late, the doorkeeper quickly opened the courtyard door.
As the well-deserved master of Prince Yong's mansion, there is no one in this mansion who does not know him, not to mention that on the lantern carried by Wang Yicheng, there are also big Yong characters with ink pens, although the gatekeeper does not know the purpose of the fourth master's coming, but he still moves neatly and panickedly to push open the courtyard door that has just opened a crack.
She was afraid of neglecting the fourth master, and was blamed by the fourth master, and she didn't care about the uneven cobblestone path outside the courtyard gate, so she came to the courtyard gate very quickly and knelt down, and kowtowed again and again: "The old slave doesn't know that the master is here in person, and if he is a little neglectful, he also asks the master to forgive him." β
"Get up, Ergege is awake?" the fourth master waved his hand indifferently.
When the gatekeeper heard this, she nodded again and again, and replied respectfully: "Ergege is practicing the piano in the room, and the old slave will go in to report it to the master." β
"Hmm!" the fourth master nodded casually in response, and followed the doorkeeper to the courtyard.
There is a difference between men and women, even if it is a biological father and daughter, the fourth master is not good to break into Mo Yaqi's room without passing the word, but he did not go to the wing room to drink tea and wait, but beckoned the little palace maid who was waiting under the corridor to come over, ordered someone to clean up the stone table in the corner of the courtyard, and asked Su Peisheng to put the food he brought over and set it up, so he sat on the stone bench where the cold wind blew directly.
After a while, Mo Yaqi, who had changed and washed again, led the two close-up maids to the fourth master, she glanced at the food on the table suspiciously, and hurriedly restrained the doubts in her eyes, bowed down and said: "Mo Yaqi didn't know that Ama was coming, and she missed the distance, so please forgive Amma." β
"In my own house, where did I get so many rules!
Don't be restrained, come and sit down!" The fourth master beckoned to Mo Yaqi with a smile, pointed to the empty stone bench opposite, and said loudly, he actually doesn't like his family to talk about pomp and circumstance in the mansion, which is also one of the reasons why he especially likes Xiao Qi, who loves to hold his arms and is coquettish, and Hongxuan, who is more calm.
As he spoke, the fourth master picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Mo Yaqi, and then put the plate and dried fruit compote box on the stone table, and pushed it to Mo Yaqi, beckoning her to eat some snacks, "Ama happened to hear the fat man Liu who had a broken mouth in the big kitchen say that you have no appetite these days, so I specially asked my father-in-law to prepare a few snacks for you, how about you taste it!"
"Thank you Ama for your concern, Mo Yaqi is not hungry!" "Growing up with the Li family since she was a child, Mo Yaqi was very wary, and when she heard the fourth master say that the starting point was from the hand of her father-in-law, she didn't even want to touch it, so she smiled and shirked it, and then took a sip of the tea bowl and sat up straight.
Mo Yaqi's careful thinking, where can she hide the shrewd and capable fourth master.
But these are inconsequential little things, and he didn't want to find fault with Mo Yaqi, so he pretended not to see Mo Yaqi's flickering little eyes, nodded with a smile, and followed Mo Yaqi's words, and teased softly: "The girl's family is most afraid of getting fat, but Ama didn't think it through, it seems that our two Gege have really grown up." β
"Amma......" Mo Yaqi sneered unhappily.
It seems that the atmosphere is good, and the fourth master feels that it is time to mention the matter of the Li family.
It's just that he underestimated Mo Yaqi's disgust and resistance to Li, and blamed Li for what he had done to her over the years, which was too much, especially after Hongyun was born, Li became even more intensified, not caring about Mo Yaqi's life or death, and even frantically asked Mo Yaqi to take care of the fourth master who was suffering from bean disease, this time and again selfish behavior, really broke Mo Yaqi's heart, so as soon as the fourth master mentioned Li, Mo Yaqi's face changed dramatically and bit her lower lip.
"Ama knows that your mother is not too good to you, but she is your own mother, and it is really out of place for you to move out and live alone. Although the fourth master saw Mo Yaqi's resistance, he still insisted on finishing his words, he was also in a dilemma, he wanted to explain the pros and cons of her moving to Jingsi to Mo Yaqi, but he was unwilling to let pure family affection be clouded with all kinds of calculations.
After Mo Yaqi listened, the little hands under the sleeves were clenched tightly.
In the end, she was afraid of the mother-daughter relationship, and she was unwilling to tell all the things that the Li family had done in front of the fourth master, but let her admit her mistakes against her will and move back to the east courtyard to live, she was thousands of unwilling, this kind of entanglement made her hate Erfu's troubles, not that she arranged for her cronies to be watched in the main courtyard, but from the snacks brought by the fourth master, she guessed that the fourth master came from the main courtyard, and then thought of the things that Erfu had persuaded her to reconcile with the Li family again and again, it is not difficult to think of the reason why the fourth master would do this.
"Amma, I'm so old, it's inconvenient to live in the same yard with Eniang. She was a little awkward to learn Xiao Qi's usual style, pursed her lips slightly, twisted her brows, and whispered coquettishly.
"You girl, talk nonsense.
Mother and daughter live in the same yard, what's inconvenient.
Besides, the east courtyard is a regular three-entry courtyard, and there are two sides of the courtyard, if you really feel that it is inconvenient to live in the same courtyard with your mother, then Ama asked your mother to clean up one side of the courtyard for you, and you lead the servants around you to live, close to your mother, and take care of each other. Sometimes, the fourth master Bilf is even more naΓ―ve, which is mainly manifested in his hope that his children will not have to leave Eniang's side at a young age as he did when he was a child, and live alone outside, with only servants and maidservants to serve him, which is why Li is unwilling to live in the front yard of Hongyun, and he easily agrees, otherwise according to the rules, the boy will move to the front yard after the age of seven, and only when he asks for peace to his mother in the morning and evening, this can enter the backyard.
"Ama, you see that the little seventh sister lives in the west courtyard by herself, Mo Yaqi is older, and she also wants to live in Jing Siju by herself, otherwise she will be compared to the little seventh sister, and Yan Fujin has also said several times that this girl's family should learn to govern the family earlier, and she will not be deceived by those servants and maids when she marries in the future, so you let Mo Yaqi live in Jing Siju by herself, practice managing her own small courtyard first, and learn to govern the family first, okay!" Mo Yaqi said that she didn't want to move back to the East Courtyard to make a gun for the Li family, she didn't want to follow the Li family to do those things she didn't like to do, and she was also worried that one day, the things that the Li family had done would not be able to hide it, and even her little pitiful little who had done a lot of things for the Li family, as long as she thought about it, she felt terrified, so that she could take advantage of a small quarrel with the Li family and move out of the East Courtyard, for her, the advantages definitely outweighed the disadvantages.
"Niu Hulu is right to say that, but you don't have to move out.
If you are interested in learning how to manage your family, then Ama will talk to Niu Hulu for you, let her pick some easy work, and let you help take care of it, so that you can better learn how to manage your family, and you don't have to be separated from your mother. It's just that her set of rhetoric doesn't move at all to persuade her and the fourth master of the Li family, and the fourth master has already proposed a more reliable method without waiting for her to finish speaking.
Since it doesn't make sense, then I have to play tricks.
Seeing that the fourth master insisted on letting her move back to the East Courtyard, Mo Yaqi's eyes moved, and she had a new idea, she pinched the tender flesh on her legs fiercely, her eyes were red with pain, and her little face twitched as if she was going to cry, so she pretended to be aggrieved and coquettishly said: " Ama is eccentric, I just want to see the little seventh sister laugh at Mo Yaqi, the little seventh sister is only so old and already lives in the west courtyard by herself, and the palace maids and grandmothers around her dare not listen to her, you look at Mo Yaqi, Mo Yaqi is so big, food, clothing and chewing have to be arranged by Eniang, and it was not easy to move to Jingsiju for a few days, and you want Mo Yaqi to move back again......"
Tears are definitely a woman's greatest weapon, and this article applies to women of all ages.
Before Mo Yaqi's tears fell, the fourth master had already softened, he sighed a little helplessly, and temporarily agreed with Mo Yaqi's idea of living in Jing Si Ju, nodded slightly: "Okay, since Mo Yaqi wants to live alone, then Ama won't say much, but you still have to go back to the East Courtyard often to see your mother, if you are tired of living in Jing Si, what is lacking around you, you don't have to be wronged by yourself, just talk to the Fu Jin Niu Hulu clan." β
"Amma loves Mo Yaqi the most, Mo Yaqi really likes to live here. β
"It's good to like it. The fourth master raised his hand and touched the top of Mo Yaqi's hair, and said softly, "It's not too early, Ama is going back, you should rest early, you can't be restrained by Eniang by your side, so you can play and sleep late, you must be careful of your body, don't let Ama and your Eniang worry." β
Mo Yaqi knew that Amma should also be careful about her body. Finally got Amma's permission to stay in Jingsiju for the time being, Mo Yaqi was already satisfied, she got up with a smile and sent the fourth master to the gate of the courtyard, and said softly.
"Alright, the night is more dewy, and you're so thinly dressed, go back quickly. β
"Then Ama go slowly!" Mo Yaqi smiled and curtsied, but insisted on watching the fourth master walk to the end of the cobblestone path, then turned around and returned to the courtyard, when passing by the inverted house, she looked at the doorkeeper who was trembling and stood aside, looked at her coldly, explained to the maid who followed her, and pulled the doorkeeper to the utility room behind the courtyard and locked it.
She did this in the hope that the other servants around her would be more vigilant.
Don't think that she hasn't sent the doorkeeper to the doorman, that is, she doesn't know that this doorkeeper is the eyeliner arranged by the Li family to her side, she just knows that the Li family will not hurt herself for the time being, and she doesn't want to be impulsive with the Li family to maintain the temporary peace between the mother and daughter, but with the matter of the fourth master coming to Jing Siju late at night, she can't guarantee that the Li family will still not use herself to achieve some kind of purpose in the future.
There is nothing wrong with being careful, this is the most common phrase on Lee's lips.
From the day she moved out of the East Courtyard, she kept this sentence in her bones.
Only by completely clearing out any suspicious servants around her, can she ensure that she will not be implicated by the Li family, but in doing so, she still does not dare to guarantee her own safety, she plans to take this opportunity to brush up on her favorability in front of the fourth master, since the fourth master came to Erfu instigated, then she should also walk around the Erfu courtyard with gratitude.
With this thought, early the next morning, Mo Yaqi, who had breakfast, came to the main courtyard.
In the upper room, Erfu, who was measuring the size of Snowball and Momofuku with Xiao Qi, was slightly stunned when he heard the report under the corridor, put down the soft ruler in his hand, and asked Shiqing to take Xiao Qi and lead the fat Momofu and Snowball to go outside, and explained that Shilan had prepared delicious refreshments, which led Mo Yaqi in.
She looked at Mo Yaqi, who looked a little restrained, smiled and stopped Mo Yaqi's action of wanting to greet her, raised her hand and pointed to the empty Taishi chair next to her, and said softly: "You girl came over to greet me so early, it's time to eat, I asked the small kitchen to prepare a small snack and send it over, if you haven't eaten yet, pad your stomach, and wait for a while to eat with me." β
"Yan Eniang, Mo Yaqi has already eaten in the courtyard. Mo Yaqi said politely.
Seeing Mo Yaqi say this, he smiled and nodded happily, as if he hadn't said anything about staying for dinner, he beckoned Mo Yaqi to drink tea, and waited for a while, seeing that Mo Yaqi still didn't say anything about his intentions, he put down the tea bowl and asked unhurriedly: "Mo Yaqi came here so early, but what do you want to find me?"
