Chapter One Thousand and Eight
1. Chapter 1008
Women are the ones who please themselves.
Facts have proved that as soon as the fourth master returned home, all the women in each courtyard completely forgot that it was still a hot and unbearable summer day, and they all got up early and dressed up to leave the comfortable room with icebergs to cool down, stepping on embroidered shoes at the bottom of a three-inch high flower pot, and coming to the main courtyard to gather under the sun that was not too dazzling and too hot in the early morning.
Even if Erfu has not yet taken the initiative to mention it, he will have to abide by the matter of greeting every day in the future.
Obviously, they all had the same idea, wanting to brush up their favorability in front of the fourth master.
Who let yesterday be the first day of the fourth master's return to the house, regardless of the rules, the fourth master should go to whose courtyard to rest, but still relied on the main courtyard, and got up and did not leave in a hurry, sat next to it very leisurely, watched Erfu make up, watched Erfu change clothes, and finally personally followed Erfu to the main hall of the upper room and met with the ladies of the various courtyards in the house.
The only drawback is that the taste is a little miscellaneous, and it is obviously a little smoky, at least Erfu smelled, and it was already very uncomfortable to wipe his nose again and again, because everyone knew that he loved to sweat in summer, in order not to lose face in front of people, so everyone pounced on the incense powder, and all kinds of incense powder tastes were mixed together, not to mention how strange the smell was, saying that it stinks or not, saying that it is not fragrant, in short, it is unpleasant.
After a cup of tea, Erfu breathed a sigh of relief, first asked Mei'er to come forward to greet the ladies of each courtyard, looked at Mei'er's tossing out of a fine sweat, followed by the little maid who was waiting for her, holding a stack of greeting gifts and retreating to the side, nodded with satisfaction and smiled, and asked the little Ulanala clan how to arrange Mei'er's residence, and then said some high-sounding nonsense, and set up a banquet in the flower hall at night, so that the ladies of each courtyard dispersed.
However, the little Ula Nara clan was not in a hurry to leave, but it was a pity that the fourth master sat next to Erfu, like a big Buddha, in order to avoid suspicion, she did not take the initiative to stay in the main courtyard, but Erfu because of the smell in the hall, opened her mouth to give the ladies of each courtyard an eviction order and left quickly, she had to secretly grit her teeth, hesitantly left the main courtyard.
"Tong Jia's health is not very good, and he has been uncomfortable a few times this month.
If the master is not ready to go to the front to deal with government affairs today, then go over and see her as soon as possible, so as not to think too much during pregnancy and hurt the fetus in her womb. Erfu quickly left the front hall of the main courtyard, looked at the fourth master who was following him like a little tail, sighed helplessly, talked about Tong Jia's problem, and reminded softly.
It's really not that she's virtuous and considerate, it's really that she is uncomfortable with the fourth master's hot eyes like perspective, and she doesn't want the fourth master to disturb her own thoughts next to her, so she just uses a different way to drive people away.
Although the fourth master likes Erfu, he also values the heirs more, listening to Erfu's words, he nodded, and called Su Peisheng, who was waiting in the tea room behind, and told him to go to the east courtyard to inform him first, and sat down and drank a cup of tea, estimating that the east courtyard had already received the letter, slowly and leisurely sorted out the silk robe without the slightest wrinkles, took the small hat on the tea table and put it on, and left a sentence to come over to accompany Erfu to eat later, and then beckoned the other little eunuchs who were waiting with him to follow, and went to the east courtyard.
Seeing the figure of the fourth master disappear in the main courtyard, Erfu pulled the corners of her mouth, showed an ugly and hypocritical smile, sorted out her makeup in the mirror, and told Shilan to invite the little Ula Nala clan to come over and talk.
In fact, she didn't notice that the little Ulanala clan wanted to stop talking when she asked for peace just now.
After a while, the little Ulanala clan followed Shilan over, and Erfu didn't wait for her to bend her knees, so she directly stopped her from asking for peace, pointed to the empty embroidery pier next to the round table, and beckoned the little Ulanala clan to sit down and speak, "I saw that you seemed to have something to say to me in private just now, what happened?"
The concubine found that Miss Mei'er seemed to be pregnant. "Little Ulanala didn't go around the bend and got straight to the point.
"Oh, how did you find out?" asked Erph, a little puzzled.
"Please also ask Fu Jin to forgive her sins, the concubine is really not used to the smoky and flattering appearance of the Mei'er girl, and she is afraid that she will do unclean things outside and mess up the rules of our house, so she arranged her residence in Bichiyuan yesterday, and wanted to ask the Imperial Doctor Hu on duty in the front yard to come and take a look at her body, but because your yard has been locked, this idea has not been able to make the trip, so she retreated and asked the housekeeper in the courtyard, Mama Fang, to come over and check her body.
This Mama Fang used to be the old mama in the palace who was in charge of the posture and body examination of the show girl.
According to Mama Fang, although Mei'er's figure has not changed particularly obviously, and her lower abdomen is also very flat, some small changes on her body can see signs of pregnancy, but because these things are not done accurately, the concubine said that Mei'er may be pregnant. Little Ulanala didn't hide it, she directly told her about deliberately violating Mei'er, she was not afraid that Erf would punish her for deliberately violating Mei'er, because she could see that Erf didn't like this Mei'er either, otherwise she wouldn't have arranged Mei'er under her hands.
After hearing this, Erfu really didn't want to blame her, so she directly asked Shilan to call Zhao Dezhu to ask the imperial doctor.
According to what the fourth master said, because Mei'er has not officially given tea to Erfu, she is not a concubine in the house, so even if the two have already had intimate actions, they have also slept together, but every time they will order Su Peisheng to send Shunzi soup to Mei'er to take, and now Mei'er may be pregnant...... Tsk, it can only show that this Mei'er is not too smart.
Because whether Mei'er managed to escape the shunzi soup sent by Su Peisheng, or it was a pure accident, the fourth master would feel that he was calculated, even if he didn't ask Mei'er to abort the fetus in the womb, he would not like Mei'er's approach, and even moved his anger to the fetus in Mei'er's womb, just like the behavior of Concubine Liangfei Wei's envoy to escape the shunzi soup sent by Emperor Kangxi and give birth to the eighth elder brother Yinxi, what kind of situation was the eighth elder brother in the palace at the beginning, it was a lesson from the past, but Mei'er knew that there was a good concubine in front of her, and she dared to do such a thing, how could she be considered smart!
It's just that Erfu ignores another possibility, that is, Mei'er is pregnant, deliberately showing weakness in order to protect herself.
No matter what you say, Imperial Doctor Hu will give his judgment later.
Because Mei'er is a concubine, she is not qualified to live alone in a small courtyard like Gege, if it is normally, it is arranged to the cross courtyard of the east and west courtyards where Fang Fujin lives, or it is arranged in the back cover room of the main courtyard, but because Erfu doesn't like her, and she doesn't want other women to come out of her private territory to obstruct her eyes, so she is stuffed directly into Bichiyuan, where the little Ulanara clan lives.
But Bichi Garden is not spacious, except for a large north house with three rooms, that is, the east and west wings and the inverted seat room, only the little Ulanala clan has lived very crowded with a dozen or so slaves who are serving around him, and now there is such a person as Mei'er, and the yard is even more crowded, but Mei'er is the fourth master's woman, even if the status is lower, it is impossible for the little Ulanala clan to let her and the slaves and maids squeeze together, so the little Ulanala clan still let people vacate one side of the room, but in this way, the maids and palace maids in the courtyard of the little Ulanala clan hate Mei'er, the new concubine。
Right now, Mei'er has encountered such embarrassment.
Because the doctor wants to come to diagnose her pulse, she always has to clean up and wash up, and also prepare tea to entertain, but when the little girl who was waiting next to her went to the water tank used to store water in a corner of the courtyard to get water, she found that the water in the water tank was poured into black ink and turned into a tank of sewage.
In this regard, she was very helpless, but there was nothing she could do for the time being, she could only secretly hate the little Ulanala clan and Erfu to the bones, and took out her own private money for the little maid to go to the kitchen to ask for some water, and it would be on for the time being, but the imperial doctor came relatively quickly, and before the little maid came back with the water from the kitchen, Imperial Physician Hu had already followed Zhao Dezhu to Bichiyuan, she had to hastily wipe her face, try to sit calmly on the Luohan bed covered by the screen, stretched out a wrist as white as jade, and politely asked Imperial Physician Hu to take the pulse。
Imperial Physician Hu is a senior imperial physician, and he already felt the pulse of joy when his hand touched Mei'er's wrist.
He got up from the embroidered pier in front of the screen with a calm face, congratulated Mei'er, left a prescription for a safe fetus, and went back to the main courtyard with Zhao Dezhu to report to Erfu.
I had already learned from the mouth of the little Ulanala that Mei'er might be pregnant, so at this time, Erfu was not surprised to hear that Mei'er was pregnant by Dr. Hu, but she just told Mrs. Hu to go over every three days to check her pulse, and then asked Shilan to take out the purse she had prepared to give a reward and send Mrs. Hu out.
"It's really a lucky girl, maybe in the near future, there will be more new Gege in our house. Erfu smiled and said to the little Ulanala clan, but she didn't forget to let the little Ulanala take good care of the pregnant Mei'er girl, told her not to make some unnecessary small movements, and then told Shilan to go to the east courtyard to report the good news to the fourth master who visited Tong Jia's family.
No matter how Mei'er came to the Fourth Master's Mansion, and how she was not treated by the Fourth Master, but since she was pregnant, the treatment she should have was about to be mentioned, Erfu asked Yujie to find some ornaments from the library that were not easy to be manipulated and sent over as congratulatory gifts, and ordered someone to explain that the kitchen was not too strict with the rules, or arranged meals for Mei'er according to Gege's example, and finally asked Aunt Yuxiu, who lived across the courtyard, to visit the pregnant Mei'er in the past, so she held Shiqing's wrist and slowly got up and returned to the inner room to wash.
She was sore and could deal with the invitation with a calm face, and she accompanied the little Ulanala clan to talk, arranging these trivial matters, it was already a super level of performance, and now that everything was arranged, she naturally wanted to go back to the room to sleep and relieve her fatigue.
It's just that she fell asleep, and the fourth master hurriedly came in from outside.
"Why did you lie down so early, but where is your body uncomfortable?" The fourth master looked at Erfu with black circles under his eyes, and hurriedly asked, as soon as he knew that Mei'er was pregnant, he came directly from the East Courtyard, the reason why he came over so anxiously was because he was afraid that Erfu would think too much and misunderstand, and when he heard the palace maid talk about Erfu's washing and resting, he felt more and more that Erfu was losing his temper again, but when he saw Erfu's little face turned pale, he knew that he had guessed wrong.
When Erfu heard this, she rolled her eyes coquettishly, and muttered with a slightly red face: "It's not you who tossed it." ”
The fourth master heard Erfu say this, how could he not understand why Erfu just got up and lay down again to rest after a while, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and said softly: "You turn over, the master will rub it for you!" After speaking, he beckoned the palace people to twist the wet handkerchief and come over to wipe his hands, and specially took out the ointment to reduce swelling and remove stasis from the dark compartment next to the bed.
"Shilan and they have taken medicine for me, I just feel a little uncomfortable on my waist, if I don't dislike it, then trouble me to pinch my waist, shoulders and neck, etc., I now feel like the bones in my body are going to fall apart, not to mention how uncomfortable. Erfu shook her head a little shyly, and refused the fourth master's kindness to drug herself, not that she was embarrassed to support the fourth master, but she was really afraid that the fourth master would not be able to control her instinct and continue to toss her own child, which was already very uncomfortable, so as soon as she finished speaking, she turned around directly, slightly lifted the hem of her underwear, revealing her waist that was pinched by the fourth master, and asked the fourth master to pinch her waist for herself to relieve the soreness and numbness in her waist.
The fourth master looked at the handprints on Erfu's waist, raised his hand to cover it with some distress, and gently pinched it, through the loose underwear on Erfu's body, he could vaguely see Erfu's red marks, which all showed the fierce battle situation last night, and he secretly regretted that he was too impulsive and too brutal, and he hurt Erfu unconsciously.
Thinking like this, the fourth master's movements gradually lightened, saying that it was kneading and massaging, or it was better to touch it again, Erfu writhed a little uncomfortably, and finally let the distracted fourth master wake up, the fourth master gently patted Erfu's back, and said in a deep voice: "Don't move, lie down obediently." After speaking, the movements of his hands sank, and he kneading several positions such as shoulders and waist for Erfu more seriously to relieve Erfu's physical discomfort.
Don't look at the fourth master, he has never done this kind of work of serving people, but he often asks the little eunuch around him to pinch his shoulders and beat his legs to relieve fatigue, so he also has a good massage work, at this time he got serious, and the comfortable feeling made Erfu fall asleep as he spoke.
"Get a good night's sleep. The fourth master listened to Erfu's subtle snoring and muttered.
