Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-Three

Just as Erfu was wondering whether to use the power in her hands to confine Mei'er for a few days to relieve her anger, Mei'er, who was dressed magnificently like a Christmas tree, had already lowered her eyebrows and restrained the charm of her body, not to mention how obediently she performed the standard half-squat salute, and respectfully pleaded guiltily: "The slave is sleepy, and he missed the time to ask for peace, and I ask Fujin for forgiveness." With that, she folded her hands on her lap and stroked her slightly bulging lower abdomen without a trace.

Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha.

Erfu glanced at Mei'er's slightly bulging lower abdomen and said, "Forget it, now that you are pregnant, you should rest more." ”

After speaking, she thoughtfully and directly ordered the palace people who followed Mei'er to step forward and helped Mei'er, who maintained a half-squatting posture, so as not to be told by others that she deliberately tried to tribulate Mei'er, that she was narrow-minded and had no room for others.

With Erfu's command, Mei'er didn't get up with a big grin, insisted on saluting again, and then walked to the door with the palace maid and sat on the official hat chair at the very end.

It's not that Erf deliberately wants her to sit in the sun at the door, it's really limited by her status.

Even if she is pregnant, she is still the last concubine in the house, even if she is a childless dream butterfly girl who has no favor and no children, she is earlier than the year she entered the house, so she can naturally only sit on the official hat chair placed at the door, this is still Erfu's generous and benevolent personality, otherwise other concubines like Mei'er and Mengdie in other royal palaces and nobles are not even qualified to sit down, even if they are pregnant, they have to obediently stand at the very end of the position to listen to the errand, compared to the palace maids in the mansion.

And now both Mei'er and Mengdie Girl can sit on the chair like Gege in the house, at most the position is not very good, in the summer by the sun, in the winter by the cold wind, in spring and autumn, it is even hotter and colder, but it is much stronger than standing and standing up.

It's just because of this, even if Mei'er is pregnant, the fourth master doesn't want to give her an identity.

Who let the rules in the fourth master's mansion, this grid and the treatment of concubines are almost the same, the only difference is that there is no palace maid who is close to her and a small courtyard that lives independently, just like Mengdie has been living in the back cover room of the east courtyard, only two little palace maids who have only turned ten years old are serving, but because Mei'er has a special background and is already pregnant, as soon as she enters the door, Erfu arranged for the palace maid to serve by her side, and also arranged her to live in the Drifting Snow Garden with special affection, so even if the fourth master values the heir, there is no need to promote Mei'er's status。

In this regard, Erf is also a little clever.

She learned about the rules and conventions of the Qing Dynasty through various film and television dramas, and combined with some details that she observed in this era, she found that whether it was the concubines and concubines in the palace, or the concubines in the backyard of the clan mansion, unless they had a high status, they all needed to be qualified, unless they were particularly favored or gave birth, and there was basically no reason to be extraordinarily promoted.

And according to the rules of the current house, it seems that the treatment of concubines and Gege is almost the same, but the grade is really humble, such as Mei'er is pregnant, placed in other mansions, it is normal to be crowned with a Gege title, one is to show grace, and the other is also afraid that pregnant women will stand for a long time and hurt the heirs of the house, but in the fourth master's mansion, although the concubines are treated leniently, it invisibly adds a roadblock to these female dependents who climb up from the concubine level。

It is precisely because of this that Mei'er behaves so flamboyantly in the place where she enters the house.

Because she thinks that Fujin who can come up with such a bad trick to hold the concubine under her hostage is by no means as naïve and vague as rumored by the outside world, she must be a ruthless and cunning person who must be competitive, conspiracy and calculation, most of such people will not like to forbear newcomers, but the kind of person who puts on the posture that I am a favorite concubine as soon as he enters the door, will be ignored and underestimated.

It's a pity that this time she was smart.

I don't like Erfu, who is full of charming women like Mei'er, and I hate Mei'er's behavior of not forgetting to show affection everywhere, although she didn't show obvious disgust, but the flickering boredom in her eyes can't hide the bright-eyed concubines and rivals below, and she can't hide the palace maids and servants who are on errands below, which invisibly adds some small troubles to Mei'er.

Whoever let Mei'er enter the door behaved so flamboyantly, and it was a beauty brought back from Jiangnan by the fourth master himself, so it was no surprise that he became the enemy of the big guy, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and there is Erfu who obviously shows dislike, they toss Mei'er, and they don't need to scruple anymore, and the palace maids and servants below who listen to errands like to step on red and white, even if they don't dare to embarrass Mei'er's new favorite on the surface, but it does not prevent them from doing some small tricks in private, even if some people want to invest in the new favorite of the wall, but it can't affect the general environment of the house。

Mei'er, a concubine who pretends to be smart, never dreamed that because of her deliberate and flamboyant behavior today, she would not be happy for a long time afterward, especially after she worked hard to give birth to a half-dead little Gege.

Of course, these are all afterthoughts, so let's not mention them for the time being.

Although Erfu is not sleepy and lacks energy, she can't help but take the initiative to mention the matter of reducing the expenses in the house, because these well-informed concubines and rivals have already learned about this arrangement through their own channels, but fortunately, she has set an example and cut the expenses of her own main hospital by fifty percent, so even if these women are not satisfied, they can't find any reason to refute it.

Only the grievances and dissatisfaction were vented on the porcelain ornaments in the room, and a little extra expenditure was added.

After saying everything that should be said, Erfu sent away the girls who were still talking in the main courtyard in a few words, and returned to the back room, and ate breakfast in a bit of a daze, and even had no spirit to rinse her mouth, so she yawned and instructed Shilan: "I want to go back to the room now and sleep well, unless it is a big event, you must not wake me up!" After speaking, she did not wait for Shilan to answer, and had already staggered to the inner room to rest.

Big things, what is a big thing?

The change of dynasty is a big deal, but is it the turn of Erfu to turn the tide?

Big things, what is a big thing?

The collapse of the sky is a big deal, but is it Erf's turn to turn the tide?

Big things, what is a big thing?

As far as the women and palace servants in the fourth master's mansion are concerned, there are not too many major events in the backyard, such as Tong Jia's crying and refusing to use medicine, this is considered a major event, such as Mei'er returning to the room and arguing for a stomachache to ask the imperial doctor to come to see a doctor, this is a major event, such as Xiao Qi wants to move the yard, this is a big event......

The first two things, probably don't need Erfu to come forward to make arrangements, Shilan and other palace maids can deal with it, and there is no need to wake up Erfu who is holding a pillow and a pillow, but there is one thing, and it happened to happen today, this incident had to let Erfu get out of the comfortable and soft bed.

Because today is the day when Xiao Qi wants to move the yard.

The only little Gege wants to move the yard, Erfu, the irresponsible Eniang, can forget, Shilan and other intimate and dutiful palace maids, but they can't forget, but Erfu returned to the room too quickly, Shilan's reminder has not been able to speak, Erfu has already taken off her robe three times by five, climbed onto the bed to have a sweet dream, she can only sigh helplessly, let Erfu rest for a while.

At about nine o'clock, Banxia, who was on an errand in the West Courtyard, came over to say goodbye.

Please be on leave, and want to let Erfu arrange for the rough palace maid and the strong mother-in-law to help move things in the past, although it is said that the things in Xiao Qi's private warehouse have been moved in advance, and some large pieces of furniture have been selected from the public treasury to send them over, and there is no need for Xiao Qi and the palace maid who live in the west courtyard to worry, but some trivial things that Xiao Qi is used to still need the palace maid to move from the west courtyard.

In this regard, Shilan was of course able to arrange it, but Xiao Qi moved the yard, and her own mother was not present, so she first arranged for the rough palace maid and the strong mother-in-law to come over to help, and asked Mama Yujie to go over to sit in the town, and then turned back to the inner room to call Erfu, who was still asleep.

Poor Erfu only dreamed a beginning of a sweet dream, and was woken up by Shilan from the dream.

Erfu leaned on the bedpost, stunned, looked at the sunny sky outside, and couldn't tell whether it was in a dream or awake for a while, and drank two bowls of refreshing strong tea, and then dragged his tired body out of the bed, changed into a half-new home-style robe, sat on the shoulder that had been prepared, and came to the west courtyard.

"I'm a little reluctant!" Entering the door, Erfu stepped behind Xiao Qi and asked with a smile.

Xiao Qi, who was looking at the empty room in a daze, listened to the movement behind him, turned his head a little lost, nodded with a flat mouth, and then raised a bright smile, and said coquettishly: "It's a little reluctant, but it's reluctant to spend those days with my mother, when I think of E-niang lying on the side of Xiao Qi's bed, telling stories to Xiao Qi, and thinking of E-niang accompanying Xiao Qi to fiddle with the nine rings and jade Linglong, Xiao Qi feels that this place is full of memories, and he is reluctant to leave here!"

"In the future, I will listen to Yuzhai, and my mother will accompany Xiao Qi more, so that Xiao Qi will have more good memories in his new residence. This kind of frustration caused by moving, Erfu used to have a deep experience, just like when she just returned to the house, she also went back to the upper room of the West Courtyard several times to remember, she half-squatted down, her eyes were level with Xiao Qi, and she comforted with a smile.

"E-Niang is the best. When Xiao Qi heard this, he replied with a happy smile.

When Erfu heard this, she smiled again, and accompanied Xiao Qi around the room twice, then pulled Xiao Qi out of the messy upper room, and came to the gazebo in the corner of the courtyard to sit down, so as not to touch Xiao Qi by the rough maids and strong women who carried things, and so as not to add unnecessary oppression to those working servants.

Listening to the rain in the house, it is Xiao Qi's grandmother and housekeeper grandmother and grandmother grandma.

Mama Sun is really capable, busy and busy, not only responsible for counting the objects that have been moved, but also placing those objects in all corners of the room, trying not to make a mess in the room, so that Xiao Qi and Erfu have no place to put their feet when they come over, so the first thing to arrange is the bedroom between the east and the living room between the east and the living room, in addition, it is the new home of Momofuku and Xueqiu, who were raised by Xiao Qi as playmates.

By the time Erfu and Xiao Qi came over slowly, everything in the upper room was almost arranged.

"Master, Gege, take a look......

The bedrooms here are almost furnished, and there are still some small and scattered objects, and the slaves and maids also let them pack them in cages, and put them in the ear room first, just waiting for the rest to be roughly arranged, and then slowly put them away. Grandma Sun twisted the wet handkerchief, smiled and led Erfu and Xiao Qi to the inner room, pointed to the room that had been almost furnished, and replied respectfully.

"Well, this matter of moving the yard doesn't have to be rushed.

Although those things are carried with the help of the rough maidservants and the strong woman below, there are also a lot of trivial things that you have to handle personally, so you must be extra cautious in order to avoid making mistakes in your busyness. Erfu stepped forward, looked around at the layout and furnishings in the room, nodded, secretly satisfied, but did not forget to tell a few words, lest someone take advantage of the loophole and take the opportunity to do something pickling in Xiao Qi's new home.

After saying that, she asked Shilan to stay in the room to help Grandma Sun, and then led Xiao Qi to go outside to enjoy the shade.

In fact, to tell the truth, this kind of moving yard thing, really doesn't need Erfu to sit in person, let alone worry and work behind those palace maids, the reason why she sacrificed her sleep time to come over, her main job is to talk with Xiao Qi, lest Xiao Qi, the girl, be in a daze with nothing to do, and lest the palace maids below not care, so she just needs to sit in the courtyard of Tingyuzhai as a mascot, it is enough.

As for those trivial things, there are Sun Mama and Shilan and others to do their own work.

More than an hour, less than two hours of work, Xiao Qi's room was completely cleaned up, even the trivial work such as sprinkling and sweeping dust, Grandma Sun also stared at the rough maid was finished, but the cups, saucers, chopsticks and all kinds of ingredients in the small kitchen were still locked in various large boxes, so they couldn't fire yet, and it was noon again, Erfu led Xiao Qi to roughly check the layout of the room, left the poetry in Tingyuzhai to help Grandma Sun, and led Xiao Qi back to eat in his own yard.

Of course, she didn't plan to let the servants and maids below work hungry, even counting the little eunuchs who ran errands, and ordered the big kitchen to send the prepared mat over, so that these palace maids and servants could follow and have fun.
