Chapter 444: Who's Smarter? (2)

Chapter 444

Mrs. Ye settled Mama Fu and came to the upside-down seat next to the corner door, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and swallowed them, and said with a smile to the crippled Hong who was on duty: "Mama Fu from the main courtyard is here, why don't you go over to say hello, I really don't know how to be motivated at all." ”

Hong Cripple is not lame, this is just the nickname of the rotating mother-in-law.

Her surname is Qu, her husband's surname is Hong, and she likes to eat melon seeds very much, and I don't know who first teased her, calling her Hong Quzi, and laughing at her habit of eating melon seeds all day long.

But she has a good temperament and doesn't care.

Slowly, this Hong Cripple became her name, and the Hong Cripple, who was called to the head, smiled and patted the melon seed skin on his body, raised his chin to Ye Pozi's room, and whispered, "Didn't you come here too." ”

"Hey, what kind of character is that, how can you look at us!

It's our blessing to be able to sit in the house with a face, don't wait until people think we're annoying, but we can't hurry up, but pity my family for working hard to make a small half a day of red date cake, I'm afraid I can't eat a piece. Ye Pozi sighed as if she was physically and mentally exhausted, and complained bitterly on her face.

"Then what you asked her for, that one agreed!" Hong Cripple shook his head with a smile and asked softly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ye sighed, smacked her lips with bitterness, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, pinched the melon seed skin in her hand a little distractedly, and complained in a low voice: "Which is so easy!"

Her father and I are both slaves, although we do this door-guarding job, and we have a lot of extra money on weekdays. But everyone is the person who is around the master, and if she is used to seeing good things, she will give her all the savings of these years. She can't look at it.

What's more, Nan'er can't get married empty-handed! You also know what kind of situation that person is, if it weren't for Nan'er taking a fancy to that kid, I really don't want to pull her such a family affair.

Although it is said that it is a high-door marriage, a low-door marriage. But this door is not the right one, and this new daughter-in-law will not have a good time when she enters the door! I can't cancel her slavery, and I can't even afford a generous dowry, let alone help her find a master to make a face.

Alas, I'm scared to death. I'm full of fire bubbles in my mouth......"

Mrs. Ye nagged a few words with a bitter face. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered what Hong Cripple said two days ago, and the thief glanced out, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he came to the side of Hong Cripple and whispered, "The line you pulled will not be a problem." Otherwise, the good life of our son and our old couple will be over!"

"Cut, our old sisters haven't been together for ten years. It's been eight years, and I've not counted what the lame man said. Hong Cripple rolled his eyes with disdain, pouted and said, "I'll tell you so, as long as you do the things that you have explained, not to mention your family's slave, that poor scholar, that can also arrange a good errand for you!"

Moreover, aren't you most worried that the old pious woman of that family will look down on your Nan'er's background, with that Nan'er as a backer, not to mention that they are ordinary farming and reading families, even if they are the descendants of the court's powerful ministers, they will never dare to despise Nan'er in the slightest.

With this guarantee, why do you think you are calculating so much!

Do you think what I said is right?" After speaking, Hong Lame bumped Ye Pozi's back with his shoulder, and when he saw Ye Pozi turn his head, he smiled shyly.

"Our old sisters for so many years, of course I believe you, otherwise I can't say those nonsense to Mama Fu, but what's the use of letting me say these words, the master Fu Jin is quite scheming, I'm afraid it's not easy to be fooled, not to mention that Mama Fu is such an old fox with empty hair, I'm really afraid of delaying the errand that he ordered!" Sisterhood said, with a smile.

"The smarter the person thinks, the more you'll be fine. Hong lame waved his hand, interrupted Ye Pozi's words, and said in a low voice, and then asked Ye Pozi and Fu Mama about the process of communication, I heard that Fu Mama originally had an opinion on Guerjia Fujin in the West Courtyard, so she knew that this matter was completely done, threw the melon seeds into Ye Pozi's hand, turned around and took out a brocade box from the cabinet.

When the brocade box was opened, the contents were revealed, and the upper layer contained only a few thin pages of paper and a name post.

"This is a three-courtyard property, although the place is not big, but the location is very good, it is definitely a dowry.

This is a famous post of Song Shuqing, an academician of the Hanlin Academy. Hong Cripple took out a few pieces of paper one by one, handed them to Mrs. Ye, and introduced them with a smile.

In the end, Hong Cripple took out the envelope-shaped pouch of flannel cloth from the bottom layer, "Here are a few pieces of fine jade and a few blue gems imported from abroad, just to give your family a dowry." ”

"This thing is too valuable, I just took it like this, wouldn't it be very good!" Ye Pozi said that she refused, but she had already stuffed the deed and name card into the pocket of her clothes, I am afraid that even if Hong Cripple asked her to hand it over, she would not agree.

"You can take it with peace of mind, this is just a drop in the bucket for that person and the force behind him, at most it can be regarded as a meeting gift, if this thing is done, the benefits of keeping you will be endless. Hong Cripple didn't poke Ye Pozi's kind words, waved his hand with a smile, took back the brocade box in his hand, signaled her to hurry up and put away the small bag, and said in a low voice.

Then the sister took it. Ye Pozi smiled and pinched the small bag, feeling the hard touch brought by the sapphire and jade inside, blushing a little embarrassed, and took out a small brocade purse from the sleeve tube, stuffed it into Hong Cripple's hand, held her hand tightly with both hands, shook it again and again, and said softly, "Nan'er's matter, you still need to deal with it more, this little money to sell tea and drink, you must not be polite to your sister." ”

"Come on. Our sisters have been in a relationship for so many years, so isn't that the same as my daughter, I don't help her Zhang Luo. Then am I worthy of the red date cakes I ate before!" Hong Cripple did not refuse, weighed the weight of his hand, smiled a little heavier, and said two polite words.

......

At the same time, Mama Fu squatted in the shadow of the corner, taking in the conversation between the two in the room and the shameless look, without leaving a single trace. Seeing that this place was not a good place to hide, he hurriedly returned to Ye Pozi's room and sat down to drink tea. It's as if you didn't notice anything wrong.

Over there, Mrs. Ye said a few more polite words to Hong Cripple, and then returned to the room, not forgetting to carry a pot of good tea as a cover. lest Mama Fu wonder what she had been doing when she had been out for so long.

"Mama. You drink the tea first, and the slave will go back and wait!" Mrs. Ye said softly while refilling the tea for Mama Fu.

Mama Fu nodded with a smile, pulled Ye Pozi, and said loudly: "Don't be busy, just sit down and rest." After saying that, he wrinkled his nose and rolled his eyes with disdain. The look that I can't look down on Yaoqin in my bones is vividly expressed.

"Mama. You said that you are working for your master Fujin, since everything has been done, why bother to sulk these things, it's not good for others to hear it, if you ruin the things of your master Fujin, your master Fujin will blame you. Mrs. Ye said thoughtfully.

"You have it, don't persuade me, I know better than you in my heart, the errand assigned by the master, I will keep it to the one who does it well, and I will definitely not make a mistake. Mama Fu waved her hand impatiently, looked at the sky outside, estimated the hour, and gritted her teeth and said, "It's just that the people around me are too rampant, and they should have come back a long time ago, why have I been waiting here for so long, and I haven't even seen a shadow, where have I run to play again." ”

At the end of the words, Mama Fu's face was full of anger and couldn't be suppressed, she took the brocade box she pulled down before, snorted coldly, and dropped a sentence, "You pay attention to the corner gate, if she comes back, let someone send me a letter, and I'll come over again." Then he turned and walked out.

Ye Pozi hurriedly chased out, sent Mama Fu all the way to the back door of the main courtyard, nodded politely, and saw Mama Fu enter the door, then turned her head back to the corner door, and continued to have a relationship with Hong Cripple.

She is such a person, since she wants to do it, she will do whatever it takes to fight for it, as for the principle of being loyal and courageous, one servant does not serve the two masters, she has long forgotten it when she received that huge fortune, from the beginning just for the smooth marriage of her family, to work hard for glory and wealth.

......

When the Wulanala clan saw that Mama Fu came back with the brocade box, she sent the palace maids and others who were waiting in the room, and went straight into the inner room, and before she even had time to ask, Mama Fu couldn't wait to explain her new discovery.

"Is this accurate?" Hearing this, the Ulanala clan, whose face changed drastically, asked in a low voice.

"What the slave and maid have seen with their own eyes, they can't fake it. Mama Fu wiped the beads of sweat from her head and replied respectfully.

"This head, you go and send it to the one in the West Courtyard, just say that I pressed the box for Yaoqin's girl. In addition, you also go and see the movement over there, if it's okay over there, you can invite the Guerjia clan to me, I want to talk to her about this in detail, and it's thanks to you that you found out in time, otherwise I'm afraid it will really cause a misunderstanding between me and the one in the West Courtyard. Wulanala rubbed the Bodhi Zi Buddha beads on his wrist, looked at the green smoke of the Buddha hall, was silent for a long time, and said in a dumb voice.

I have to say that the people behind the scenes calculated very accurately, and the time was also good, when the fourth master and the Guerjia clan were awkward, and she happened to be caught in it, it was a very embarrassing relationship, if it wasn't for Mrs. Ye being too flustered, revealing a flaw, and being discovered by Mama Fu, I'm afraid that in less than three days, the sisterhood between her and Erfu that is not too solid will be completely ruined, and the fourth master's mansion will be completely messed up.

The Wulanala clan didn't think that this matter could be arranged by the Li family, but was very suspicious of the opponent of the fourth master, the old eighty group. It's not just because the Li family doesn't have such a mind, but also because the Li family doesn't have so much power, they can't get the name of Song Shuqing, an academician of the Hanlin Academy, and they are reluctant to buy a gatekeeper in a good place like Willow Lane.

"Master, the slave thinks it's better to press this matter first, after all, Guarjia Fujin is not good at disguise, I'm afraid it's easy for others to see the flaws, it's better to let her reveal her true feelings. Mama Fu was about to go out in response, and when she reached the door, she turned back to the side of the Ulanala clan and replied respectfully.

"You have a point.

Regardless of whether the fourth master is in the West Courtyard at this time, whether the Guerjia clan and the fourth master have reconciled. None of our people fit into the past.

First, it is a question of candidates, you have just come back from the corner gate, if you calmly go to the West Courtyard to deliver the letter, it is easy to make people suspicious, if you let someone else go, the news will inevitably reach the ears of the third person.

The second is for Yaoqin's face, which was originally something I added to the Guerjia clan, if there are really outsiders who want to calculate the stability of the back house in our fourth master's mansion, this thing is not suitable for sending it over. Hearing this, the Wulanala clan nodded thoughtfully, stretched out his hand to take the brocade box in Mama Fu's hand, and said in a low voice, and then let Mama Fu go down to rest, walked into the Buddha hall alone, knelt on the futon, silently looked at the white jade Guanyin Buddha statue above, and fell into contemplation.

......

"Then what do you want to do?" the fourth master twisted his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

"Trust.

I don't ask you to trust me completely, but I hope you can give me a little trust, and you can ask me in person if you doubt me, instead of you testing me through others. As for the rest, I'm not too disgusted. Erfu brushed the long hair scattered on her shoulders, found the most comfortable position, pulled the brocade quilt, put it on her body, and said with a leisurely smile as if she was having a bedroom meeting with her girlfriends and roommates in the bedroom.

"Okay, I promised you. The fourth master nodded slightly, and also followed the example of Erfu, tucked the soft pillow behind his waist, and also leaned on the armrest, crooked on the Luohan bed.

"Since it's done, it's decided.

What should I do if I do it again in the future? There must be some punishment, such as a ...... for copying books and kneeling," Erfu said with a teasing voice.

"This is not good!" The fourth master has been very smart since he was a child, he is definitely a well-deserved good baby, he has never been punished, and when he suddenly heard Erf say this, he was really a little vague, and he was stunned for a full minute or so before he muttered hesitantly.

"The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, so it's hard for a master to want to be a person who doesn't follow the rules. Erfu raised her eyebrows with a smile, staring at the fourth master's face with threatening eyes, if the fourth master did not agree, she would continue to have a cold war with the fourth master.

"Then how do you say to punish you?" the fourth master touched his nose in embarrassment, bowed his head and said.

"Guzheng, come in for a moment......" Erph laughed and called out loudly.
