It snowed for several days, and the temperature in Beijing suddenly cooled down. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Erfu was wearing a newly made winter coat, with a thin brocade quilt on her legs, and through the glazed diamond-shaped grille window, she looked at the red Qinglan and the clouds under the corridor, smiled and called Xue Mei, and explained softly: "You go outside, call the two of them in on an errand, the weather is getting colder day by day, don't freeze the two of them, the girl's family can't bear such a cold." ”

A piece of love that grew up.

Xue Mei thanked Dade for curtsiedly to Erfu, and said with a smile: "The master is compassionate, and the slave and maid thank the master for his grace for them." ”

"Don't bother thanking them, let them in. When Erf heard this, she smiled disapprovingly.

In fact, for her, it was just a casual command.

With such a big room on the left and right, she herself doesn't like to sit in the hall by herself, and she called the clouds and mist to come in on an errand, and it didn't have the slightest effect on Erfu, so why wouldn't she do it, but if she should explain, she still has to explain it carefully, lest others say that her west courtyard has no rules.

Erfu raised his hand slightly, called out to Yunwu and Qinglan, who knelt down at the door and thanked him when he entered the door, wearing a little finger with gilt beaded armor, gently knocked on the small tea table of yellow rosewood, pursed his lips with a smile, and instructed in a deep voice: " I feel sorry for the two of you, let you enter the hall on an errand, but you can't forget your own errand, and let Xue Mei put two small sticks next to the door for you in a while, you can do some needlework when you are free, but you also have to pay attention to the movement under the corridor, and if someone comes over, hurry up and welcome out, don't let people find fault with you, and even affect me, the master, to follow you to listen to those gossip. ”

"The slave and the maid know, and the slave and the maid thank the master for his grace. ”

Erfu was impatient to see the people around her kneeling, but she would not be as uncomfortable as when she first entered the mansion, and these palace people on the left and right didn't feel wronged, so why should she worry about eating radishes with salt.

Seeing that Yunwu and Qinglan finished saluting, she asked Xue Mei to take the two of them down.

The winter is bleak, and the past is silvery.

Erfu boredom threw away the notebook in his hand, reached out and slapped the back pillow stuffed behind his waist soft, hugged the round pumpkin pillow, lay down lazily, and began to make up for sleep.

The days that were already boring are even more boring with the arrival of winter.

A group of ladies in the Fourth Master's Mansion, in addition to nesting in a warm room, leading a group of palace maids to play leaf cards, or cutting window flower paper to play, or fiddling with the delicate flowers cultivated by the gardeners of the flower room, they can't find other ways to entertain.

But Erf doesn't know anything about these things.

Even the needlework, the fourth master didn't let her interfere anymore, for fear that she would hurt her eyes, but he didn't dare to let her go out and walk around more, for fear that she would not pay attention to stepping on the ice flower and fall and hurt the child in the stomach.

Erfu didn't go out of the room for two days in a row, either eating or sleeping, or passing the time with a book, but no matter how interesting the book was, it couldn't attract her attention, and she didn't want to sleep, she didn't lie on the Luohan bed and rolled a few laps, and there was no way to fall asleep, and finally scratched her head and sat up, ignoring Qingdai's opposition and the threat of complaining to the fourth master, she told Ya'er to find the needlework basket that the fourth master asked her to put away, and described the pattern very boringly.

After a while, she drew a pair of twig pattern uppers.

Translucent light gauze, thick brocade, smooth silk......

These are the leftovers left over from the needlework for her and Xiaoqi to cut clothes, shoes and socks, and the small camphor wood boxes are piled up, and Erfu chose a piece of muslin left over from the bedclothes, and asked people to find some good cotton, thinking back to the indoor slippers she worn, and ordered the most skillful girl to cut a pair out, and took the embroidery needle and did it seriously.

Collecting soles is hard work.

Erfu couldn't do it, and she didn't want to waste time doing it, she smiled and put down the two-stitched upper in her hand, turned her head to look at Qingdai who was about to talk and stopped, motioned for her to put on a big cotton robe, and softly ordered: "Help me find two pairs of soles on the needlework." ”

After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to make slippers as she thought in her heart.

She is really bored, the warmth of thin soft-soled embroidered shoes is not very good, and she is not willing to sit on the Luohan bed in a daze with a brocade quilt all day long, so she wants to make two pairs of cotton slippers, regardless of the strange appearance, it is always warmer than thin soft-soled embroidered shoes.

Thinking so, she also came to the spiritual head.

The most simple embroidery, the most simple pattern, she embroidered a piece of the upper after a while, looking at the embroidered slap embroidery, Erf's heart swelled with a sense of achievement, considering that the slippers should be cleaned frequently, she specially let the girl cut several uppers, according to her ideas, she is going to use plain muslin to make the shoes, and finally paste the upper, so that there is no need to worry about fading.

These bits and pieces of uppers and shoes were piled up in a mess, and the girl couldn't see that she was ugly at all, but seeing that Erfu was happy, she let Erfu herself be busy.

After a while, Qingdai, who went to the sewing room in the snow to ask for the soles of her shoes, came back.

Qing Dai sent several pairs of soles of different sizes to Erfu, and said respectfully: "Master, the mother on the needlework said that the embroidery lady and the maid on the needlework in the house are busy cutting the new clothes to be worn by the owners of the house for the New Year, so these time-consuming preparation of mille-feuille soles are left with these pairs, she asked the slaves and maids to bring them to you to see if they are suitable, if they are not suitable, they will arrange someone else to prepare them for you." ”

These soles are prepared for the masters in the house on the needleworkmanship, the materials are exquisite, and the housekeeper on the needlework and thread let Qingdai bring them back, all of which are Erfu, The size of the shoes worn by the fourth master and Xiao Qi on weekdays, and a few pairs of soles, which are slightly larger, it is estimated that Qing Mama found out to make up the number, after all, Erfu did not explain clearly, and the shoe samples cut out by Ya'er were so weird, Qingdai didn't know what Erfu was going to do with these soles, so Qing Mama gave her all kinds of soles, so as not to be dissatisfied with the trouble of finding needlework here.

In the house, who still doesn't know that she is a golden nobleman.

Erfu thought, shook her head helplessly, and asked Ya'er to find out what her shoes looked like with the fourth master and Xiaoqi, compared the size slightly, selected a few pairs of slightly larger soles, and said with a smile: "Leave two pairs of the same, and send the rest back to the needle and thread, so as not to let others ask for it in the past, and there will be other preparations over there." ”

As she spoke, she looked out the window again and added, "Let's wait until the snow stops." ”

Erf's biggest advantages and disadvantages are to do it when she thinks of it, she didn't care about letting Qing Dai run a trip to the needlework, looking at Qing Dai's little face that was red from the cold, she was still a little embarrassed, where would she let Qing Dai run again, not to mention the soles of this kind of thing, basically the masters of each courtyard are waiting for the needlework to make shoes and send them over, she guesses that no one is like her.

She looked at Qing Dai, who was sitting boringly on the side, smiled and handed her the flattened cotton, plain muslin and needlework basket in her hand, and said softly: "Come, Qing Dai, don't be idle, follow Ya'er to learn to do needlework, and when you get married in the future, you can make some intimate clothes for your husband." ”

In the end, it is still an unmarried girl's family, don't look at Qingdai's usual grinning and tomboy's appearance, but being teased by Erfu like this, she still blushed and her heart jumped, stomped her feet, and said coquettishly: "Master......"

Erfu definitely didn't say it, she was really afraid of the fourth master's insistence, and she was very annoyed by the fourth master's nagging, in order not to let her ears suffer, she had to use this kind of scoundrel trick, although she also felt that she was a little tasteless in doing this, but in order to make her ears quiet and quiet, she didn't care, "Oh, okay, as long as you don't tell the fourth master about my needlework, I won't say that about you anymore, what do you think!"

Qingdai said that such a master is really strange, but she is a good palace maid who is conscientious, and she still persuaded her, planning to make Erfu give up her plan to do needlework: "Master, the master is also afraid that you will stay up late to do needlework and burn your eyes." ”

Erfu smiled and waved her hand, motioning for her to sit down and talk, don't be too nervous, "I'll pay attention to rest, if I stay up late, you can tell the fourth master again, otherwise you tell the fourth master about my needlework, it's not that he won't worry about it outside, and he will worry about it." ”

"Oh well. Qing Dai is not a dead eye, she saw that Erfu was very reasonable, so she nodded and agreed, in fact, she also knew from Su Peisheng. The fourth master and the thirteenth master are really busy these days in order to clean up the arrears of officials in the household department over the years.

After getting rid of the somewhat stubborn Qingdai, Erf smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, she has looked at the fourth master's more and more haggard face, she is also very distressed, but she just can't learn the intrigue of ancient women, thinking that the fourth master has to worry about her daily trivial matters in addition to worrying about major things outside, she is really a little ashamed.

In order to make the fourth master more at ease, she knocked the palace maid in the courtyard yesterday, although she didn't know what the result was, but looking at the rough servants in the courtyard looking at the upper room, she would show a look of fear from time to time, she estimated that it would still have some effect.

After all, this person is not selfish, even if he is greedy for money, he will never sacrifice his own self, and earn a large amount of money to cheapen others, she has already said that as soon as she finds someone who has an outside heart, she will break her leg and throw it on the street to beg This is a bit vicious, I think it can also scare some people who are not too mad.

The only thing missing now is to make an example of the monkeys.

If she had known that the old man Kangxi would arrange such a thankless job for the fourth master, she should have stayed with the Chen family for a few more days, broke Chen's legs, and let the big guys see her ruthlessness with their own eyes, anyway, the fourth master would not misunderstand that she is a ruthless and vicious woman.

Just as Erf was thinking this, the chicken that had been delivered to the door appeared.

Hongxiu, the niece of Zhuang Tou Qi Dali of the Daxing Zhuangzi Courtyard, the little girl who was greedy for vanity when she saw the fourth master's pomp and circumstance, secretly wanted to get mixed up in the Zhuangshang Courtyard but was unsuccessful, but she was abducted to Beijing for some reason, and accidentally took the path of Lu Ziqing, who had experienced a wonderful reincarnation life, and mixed into the Fourth Master's Mansion.

"Tired Mama to give Tongyu, we Gege heard that Fang Fujin has not had a good appetite recently, so he specially asked the newly invited Jiangnan dim sum chef from the big kitchen to make some salty snacks, and let the slave and maid send it to Fang Fujin to taste, you can give it a word, otherwise the slave and maid will go back to Wushuang Pavilion, and there is really no way to explain to Lu Gege. Hongxiu combed her hair, wore a pale cyan embroidered bamboo coat, and had a flattering and flattering smile on her face.

The gatekeeper's surname is Tan, and she is a little greedy, but she is not a bad person.

She saw that Hongxiu insisted on refusing to leave, and saw that the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, so she had to open the small door on one side, and beckoned Hongxiu to come into the gatehouse to talk. You Gege really came out of a small family, our side Fujin is pregnant, even Yan Fujin and Li Fang Fujin don't dare to send food to our master, she actually rushed to catch up, let me remind you, you still ponder, don't get into trouble for your family Gege. ”

Hongxiu held the tea bowl, looked at the food box on the table, shook his head and sighed: " Mama, what you said is, I also know that in this big family, it is very inappropriate to send food to each other, I heard it in the drama when I was a child, but I just entered the house as an errand boy, and I couldn't speak in front of our Gege, Gege commanded, I really couldn't shirk it, so I had to come over with a food box, you don't know, although Gege is a good-tempered person, but he is extremely stubborn, and the two sisters who were on an errand beside Gege persuaded her, she did not punish the two sisters, but handed over the errand to me, the little maid who had just entered the house. ”

She can blend into such a palace as an errand person, her heart is clever, she doesn't need to say it, she can mix in a few days with Lu Gege, who accompanied Li Hezhu into the mansion to serve, and she is not a fool, where does she not understand Lu Gege's plans, she is obviously deliberately pretending to be confused, thinking that she can ask this Mama Tan for help, so she deliberately pretends to be stupid in front of Mama Tan.

Don't look at Mama Tan's long days in the house, but she is from a subordinate family, and her family is a big family in the House of Internal Affairs, and she has never been trained by her master, and she has been arranged to serve in an idle palace where there is no palace concubine to live in, don't look at the lack of oil and water to fish, but it is better to be stable, and she has been mixed until she is old enough to get out of the palace to marry, and then she enters the internal affairs mansion as an errand again, and then she is arranged to the fourth master's mansion, so she is really not much more complicated than Hongxiu's thoughts, and even a little simple.

She looked at Hongxiu's pitiful appearance of wiping her tears, thinking about the little daughter at home, sighed, patted her shoulder, and said in a low voice: "When you go back, you will talk to your family Gege, saying that our family is not a guest, so I didn't let you in, only let you leave the dim sum, as for this dim sum, it will be cheaper for me." ”

After saying that, she returned the small handful of copper to Hongxiu and asked her to hurry back.
