Chapter 437

As for whether the Li family will be embarrassed to be left alone, Erfu is not worried at all.

As the saying goes: it depends on the owner to beat the dog.

Although this is unpleasant, it is a fact that cannot be shaken, that is, Li Fangfujin sometimes does not take Erfu in his eyes, but he never dares to ignore the fourth master's side, Erfu left Xiaoman in front of her in front of the fourth master, not to mention that it was injured and touched, or it was a hair loss, which she couldn't afford to bear.

"This Li family is really well-informed. The fourth master pulled Erfu to turn a small road, and saw the little palace maid and the little eunuch who had no eyes on the left and right staring, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in a low voice with some displeasure, venting his dissatisfaction in his heart.

When Erfu heard this, he raised his eyebrows with a smile, and then said: "Don't say this again, let people hear it, and think that I can't tolerate her, even if I am not afraid of criticism, I always have to take care of the faces of Mo Yaqi and Hongyun's two children, even if the Li family is no longer right, but now it is their mother, one is prosperous, one is lost, the truth of one is lost, the master always understands it better than me!"

After speaking, she smiled and pulled the fourth master's arm, coquettishly, hoping that this would make the fourth master forget the unpleasantness that had just happened.

Looking at Erfu's coquettish and cute like Moffu and snowballs circling around his feet all day long, the fourth master felt soft in his heart, raised his hand and patted her head, and said softly: "You speak too straight, you can't turn around and say good and obedient." ”

"I'm like this, if you don't like it, forget it!" Erph pursed her lips disapprovingly, and shook off the fourth master's arm. grabbed the arm of the guzheng who was waiting beside her, muttered, and then rolled his eyes very disregardantly. expressed great condemnation of the fourth master's 'liking the new and hating the old'.

The fourth master is just casually talking.

It's not that he doesn't like Erf's tired of his coquettish appearance, but he likes Erf's way of getting closer, but in the end this is in the garden, that is, there are secret guards who have traveled in advance, but it is difficult to guarantee that no one will hide and hide, secretly staring at their words and deeds, if they are spread outside. I'm afraid that those pedantic old masters will have something to do again.

What evil charm enters the house, water-based poplar flowers, there must be something difficult to hear......

When the time comes, basins of sewage will be spilled, and he can not take it seriously. The emperor in the palace will not let him go, and if such a naïve girl as Erfu is burdened with such a stigma, she will not be so angry that she will vomit blood!

The fourth master couldn't help but shudder as he imagined the possible scene of Erfu vomiting blood.

- according to Erf's white-eyed nature. I'm afraid that those pedantic old masters vomit blood in anger. She may not vomit blood, and she may feel that she is her backer, standing in the room, looking up to the sky and laughing with her hands on her hips!

"Master, what are you thinking?" Erfu talked to Guzheng by herself, not only did she not wait for the fourth master to come after her to talk, but she saw the strange appearance of the fourth master shaking his head and nodding in the afterglow, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously.

The fourth master heard the sound. Pretending to be calm, he clenched his fist to his lips with one hand and coughed softly. "It's okay, I just want to think about how the Li family knows the whereabouts of the master, so well, it is said that she does not have the ability to arrange so many eyeliners in the mansion, not to mention that the palace maid and the rough mother-in-law in your courtyard are all reliable people specially selected by the master from the Zhuangzi and the internal affairs office, she doesn't have the ability to buy it!"

"Whew!" Erfu blinked his eyes and listened to the fourth master's words, with a disappointed expression of 'it was for this', shook his head, squinted his eyes at the fourth master with disdain, and said in a low voice, "If you want to know your news, it's not easy."

Just saying that you and I are going to the main courtyard Fujin to talk about things, you must have arranged for the little eunuch to pass the word in advance, as long as you have good eyes and a smart brain, you will naturally guess where you are going.

Moreover, the Li family is one of the side Fujin of the Eight Classics, and you didn't deliberately hide your whereabouts, she just wanted to ask the whereabouts of your male master from the mouth of the subordinate, and it was not easy. ”

"As smart as you are, why are you always flustered every time you go to your place, and you don't have the idea of preparing in advance. The fourth master stretched out his hand and tapped Erfu's head, and said in a low voice.

"Master, you have no conscience in what you say. Erfu wrinkled his eyebrows and retorted with displeasure on his face, "Tell me yourself, when you came to the West Courtyard, the hot tea delivered to you was not seventy percent hot, the warm water for washing was not just the right temperature, the clothes to be changed were neatly stacked on the side of the couch, and the meals were not prepared...... Could it be that you still plan to have your concubine kneel in the courtyard to greet you in advance?"

In the end, there was already a bit of ridicule in Erph's tone, and a pair of bright and shining eyes blinked and blinked, as charming as the stars in the sky in the dark night.

In Erfu's opinion, although the fourth master is a high-ranking prince and will become an emperor above 10,000 people in the future, he is also a man, and he also longs for a resting place with a home-like atmosphere.

She can't guarantee that one day she will face the fourth master in a bright yellow dragon robe, and she will still maintain her true heart, but now she hopes that she can give him a home, so that he can have a real place to relax and recharge his batteries after being busy with political affairs and dealing with those deceitful brothers, so even if it is the palace maid around her, she has always asked her to respect the fourth master, and she still does her own thing.

"You girl, I can't talk about you!" The fourth master also liked this equal way of getting along with Erfu, but he didn't want to be soft-tongued, so he smiled and waved his hand, as if to say that Erfu was unreasonable and unreasonable.

In this regard, Erf pouted again, this is a straight male patient with advanced cancer.

......

On the path between the flowers, the fourth master and Erfu walked with laughter and laughter, making trouble from time to time, which seemed sweet and warm, just like two men and women in love, and soon came to the main courtyard located in the middle of the fourth master's mansion - the residence of the Wulanala clan.

The little eunuch from the Ulanala clan has already come to inform him.

However, the Ulanala clan was not in a hurry to prepare, according to what she knew about these two people. I had to grind hard before I came, and I couldn't get out of the courtyard gate of the West Courtyard in half an hour, but I didn't want these two people to break the tea bowl first. I met Li Shi on the road again, so I lost my mind about visiting the garden, so that these two people changed their normal behavior, and went straight to her without turning around, but they caught her off guard.

"Lord is becoming more and more unpopular in this mansion. The fourth master looked at the empty tea table and the Wulanala clan who was smiling a little awkwardly, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then sat on the side of the Luohan bed. beckoned the two of them to sit down and speak.

There is a rosewood tea table in the Luohan bed, which divides the couch into seats on both sides, which is the same as the layout of the west courtyard. They are all upright with soft back pillows, like soft sofas, and pumpkin-shaped soft pillows on each side.

The Ulanala clan smiled and sat on the other side, and Erfu was not polite to the Ulanala clan. sent away the palace maid who wanted to come forward to help move the embroidery pier. walked around the room with his little short legs, and directly from the main hall, half-dragged and half-dragged over a Taishi chair covered with scarlet cushioned backrest, and sat down next to the legs of the fourth master.

"You'll enjoy it, but pity me for the carpet I just put on, and I have worn such a long mark. The Ulanala clan smiled and greeted Qi Xiang for tea, and complained softly.

"Why, just step on it. "The production process of this palace carpet is not simple. Although it looks like a shallow mark has been made at this moment, it will disappear soon. And Erph didn't think that the Ulanala clan would care about such a trivial matter, and patted her chest like a rich man and a nouveau riche, stretched out her feet in embroidered shoes at the bottom of the flower pot on the mark, rubbed it again, smiled and pointed to the already blurred mark, and muttered indifferently.

The fourth master took a sip of tea, and watched the two of them talk with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although the words spoken by the two of them were not nutritious at all, pure gossip and chatter, but he seemed to be listening very seriously, as if the two were talking about something interesting, and listened to it for a full quarter of an hour, seeing that the two of them had changed the topic from the palace carpet to the clothes and jewelry that had been fashionable recently, and the farther and farther they went, he cleared his throat and opened his mouth: "How are things handled!"

The fourth master's question was too sudden, and the two people who were chatting about jewelry were a little stunned, and they were stunned for a while before they broke out into a burst of laughter at the same time.

According to the information compiled by the concubine, in the inner courtyard, a total of seven people were seriously injured and died in the secret guards responsible for guarding safety, and the other sixteen people suffered different degrees of external injuries, and Zhang Bao had arranged for someone to escort them to Zhuangzi to recuperate.

In addition, four palace maids were mistakenly killed by the men in black, and it is estimated that they happened to bump into those men in black, which would cause them to lose their lives.

As for the other losses, only the housekeeper Mama Qin lost an account book about the income of the Zhuangzi and the shop in the past two years. Ulanala laughed for a long time, and then gasped and took out a thin booklet from the drawer on the side of the tea table, flipped through it slightly, and said softly.

The fourth master took the booklet and flipped through it, on it was a beautiful hairpin flower, at a glance, he knew that it was from the handwriting of the Wulanala clan, and the losses caused by this sudden assassination were recorded in the book in an orderly manner, and in order to facilitate the fourth master to look through, next to some data, Erfu was also embellished with explanations and introductions written by Zhu Pen.

"That is to say, there is not a single secret guard in the inner courtyard now. After just a few glances, the fourth master finished reading the losses in the inner house, looked up at the Wulanala clan with a somewhat ugly face, and asked in a low voice.

"Except for Qixiang next to the concubine and Yaoqin next to Erfu's sister, there are no more. Ulanara sighed and nodded.

Speaking of which, the guards inside and outside the Fourth Master's Mansion are very tight, but under such a huge assassination, they still lost a lot of good hands, even some secret guards who saved their lives, I am afraid that they will also be disabled for life.

It is not easy to train these secret guards, not only to ensure their loyalty, but also not to have indiscriminate people, from the beginning of the selection to really become a secret guard, not to mention the money consumed, that is, the proportion of selected secret guards is more than ten to one.

Let's just say that the casualties in the inner courtyard this time, although it seems that there are only more than 20 secret guards, but the seedlings originally selected from all over the place are more than 300 people, and it took a year to cultivate, no wonder the Wulanala clan will be depressed when they talk about this.

And that's just the loss of the inner courtyard......

Even the fourth master never talked about it, but even Erfu knew that the loss of the outer courtyard would definitely be greater than that of the inner courtyard.

"Alas, it's a pity!" The fourth master, who had never taken money to heart, also sighed, rubbed the booklet with the dark red brocade cover with one hand, was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "How much silver is there in the inner courtyard treasury?"

As if someone had poked a sore foot, the Wulanala clan swallowed and vomited for a long time, and did not say anything important, until the fourth master's face was a little bad, and then he hesitated to take out a general ledger of the public middle school.

With the account book handed over to the fourth master, the Wulanala clan seemed to have unloaded the burden on his shoulders, and while carrying the beam pot to renew the tea for the fourth master and Erfu, he said softly: "In the past two years, the income from Zhuangzi is just to maintain the chewing of the house.

The rent of the shop is quite a lot, but the correspondence with various prefectures is also a large expense, and there are several times that the red seal sent to Mr. Gu's side is a large amount, so he did not save any money. ”

Prince Yong's Mansion is indeed everyone's great cause, it is true.

However, the same expenses are also a lot of eye-catching amounts, so they are not as beautiful and extravagant as outsiders imagine that they are full of bird's nest shark fin and full of meals, but even some wealthy officials and eunuchs are not comparable.

And when the mansion was opened, the particularly profitable properties rewarded by the emperor have always been in the hands of the fourth master, and they have not been handed over to the Wulanala clan in the inner courtyard, so it is also very difficult for the Wulanala clan to maintain the food and clothing of the masters and servants of the mansion, that is, the Wulanala clan has been frugal in these years, and the fresh fruits and vegetables produced in the Zhuangzi have been sent out as gifts from various provinces, which can be regarded as barely coping with a balance of payments, otherwise I am afraid that even the Kaifu silver in the treasury will have to spend a lot.

"The income of those tea gardens in the south is good, and God will ask Su Peisheng to send the account book over, and let those in charge of things deal with you in the future." The fourth master casually flipped through it and saw the embarrassment of the Wulanala clan, hesitated for a moment, threw the account book on the tea table, and said with a smile.

"No, no!" Wulanala waved his hand and hurriedly said, "There are many places in the house where money is needed, and there is no shortage of money here for concubines, and the fruit trees planted on several mountains in Zhuangzi are also slowly bearing fruit, so we will be able to make more income this autumn, which is enough for the people in our house to chew." ”

"It's just a small industry, so you should give yourself some change to buy flowers and wear. Although the fourth master himself is quite poor, he is still unwilling to wronged these women who follow him, raised his hand to interrupt what the Wulanala clan did not finish, and decided the matter with a decisive decision, and at the same time sent Su Peisheng to the front yard to get the account book, lest the Wulanala clan have to shirk again.

Lack of money has become the most difficult level for the fourth master, but he doesn't want Erfu, who is sitting under his head, to be a living God of Wealth.
