Chapter 957
At dawn the next day, Erfu had just gotten up to get dressed up, and Tong Jiashi, who had not slept well for half the night, had already come over and waited, and now it was the time of danger in the house, and Erfu was not too slow to treat Tong Jiashi, so slowly and leisurely in the backyard, so that he had to wave his hand, so that the kitchen side did not have to prepare breakfast, and instructed Shilan to move faster, so that he lowered his head and chose the right hairpin from the makeup box.
Even though she had already entered and exited the palace gate, she still didn't dare to be too casual.
After another stick of incense, Erfu, who was neatly packed and neatly dressed, walked out of the upper room with Shilan's arm, and came to the room where Tong Jia's tea was waiting, she raised her hand to stop Tong Jia's action of leaning over to salute, pretending to look at the filigree table clock on the long table in front of her, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, let's not pay attention to these false courtesies, let's go into the palace as soon as possible to say goodbye to Niangniang." After speaking, she beckoned Tong Jiashi to step forward as if she was her own sister, walked out of the main courtyard side by side, and went straight to the Hanging Flower Gate.
In front of the door of the hanging flowers, the servants and miscellaneous servants who did rough work at the bottom had already prepared the carriage for the two to go out under the command of the housekeeper, Erfu looked at the too luxurious Chang Fujin car in front of him, and turned his head to look at the mule cart of the dark blue brocade carport where Tong Jiashi was going to sit, and his delicate forehead frowned into the Sichuan character, and then quickly showed a peaceful smile, turned his head to Tong Jiashi, and said softly: "This person is not dedicated, if my sister does not dislike it, it is better to sit in the carriage in front of me with my sister." β
After speaking, she grabbed Tong Jia's arm with a warm look.
At present, the fourth master is grounded by the Zongren Mansion, and the honor and disgrace are uncertain, although Tong Jiashi does not like to be treated slowly by the people below, and wants to use the topic to find trouble, but he understands what is important, so he smiled and nodded, and followed Erfu into Erfu's car.
Although Erfu's Changfujin car is very gorgeous, and the inner area is also very spacious, sitting in it is like sitting in a small room, but with an outsider like Tong Jiashi in the car, she usually shares the car with Erfu, and it is not easy for Shilan and Shiqing to follow, she raised her hand to take the food box that Shilan was carrying from the car window, and whispered a few words, then turned around and greeted Tong Jiashi.
While placing all the food in the food box on the small tea table fixed in the carriage, she poured hot tea for herself and Tong Jiashi, and said softly: "I am in a hurry to get up early, and I don't know when I will be able to get out of the palace, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare these meals early, although it is not a main meal, it is better to pad the stomach, it is better than being hungry, don't dislike it, eat some together." After saying this, she had already pinched the dim sum and sent it to her mouth, not that she was really hungry and didn't even have time to say a word, but the women in this house were too wary, she didn't want Tong Jiashi to suspect that she had done something in the dim sum, so she willingly became a guinea pig who tested drugs.
As she expected, Tong Jiashi also went out hungry.
She saw that Erf took out the snack from the food box and put it on the table as if she were playing a trick, and the drum was already beating in her stomach, but because she was worried that there was something unclean in the snack, she did not move for a long time, and she was relieved to see that Erf had eaten.
But even so, she clung to the snacks that Erf had eaten.
For the two plates of dim sum that Erfu had not touched, she didn't even look at it, and Erfu didn't feel embarrassed, she had long expected that this would be the case, and she wouldn't feel aggrieved because of Tong Jia's distrust, if it was her, if she was in the same carriage with the Ulanala clan, she would also be careful in the face of the dim sum prepared by the Ulanala clan, after all, this person is separated from the belly, he is a rival in love, and it also involves a series of interests entanglements such as honor, who can not be careful!
Four dim sum, Four candied fruits, the amount is not much, if Erfu eats by herself, it is more than enough, more than Tong Jia's one, even if Tong Jia's meal is not large, and he did not shake off his cheeks and eat violently, but it still makes Erfu feel empty, especially Xiaoshengzi also specially prepared a plate of appetizing hawthorn slices for her, Xiaoshengzi was kind when he was prepared, I was afraid that Erfu would have no appetite when he got up early, but there were so many snacks, and if she didn't eat, she had to purse her lips, and drink tea like that, and when she arrived at the palace gate, she was already hungry, but it was more agile than when she entered the palace to ask Concubine De Niangniang for peaceγ
On the palace road, at the root of the palace wall, one by one the eyeliner hidden in the dark was busy reporting this discovery to their masters, and some palace concubines who were still worried about the fourth master's foreign property also put out this little idea, and pondered the money road next to them.
In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De sat on the throne with exquisite makeup and graceful demeanor, and after receiving the salute of Erfu and Tong Jia, she waved her hand lightly, and those palace maids withdrew from the palace gate with great eyes, and gave the huge main hall to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to talk about themselves.
Concubine De waited for the palace to withdraw from the palace door, slightly adjusted her sitting posture, the corners of her mouth that had just been raised fell, her face was not too good-looking, she glanced at Erfu who was staring at her toes in a daze with a little criticality, and whispered as if she was a little unhappy:" You came to ask for peace, it must be for the fourth child's business, and the palace will not go around the bend with you, this matter, the emperor knows in his heart, whose fault it should be whose fault is, the fourth child is the errand of supervising the eighth child, so he should take this matter to heart, but he wants to please the emperor in front of him, and he is not willing to be distracted, then he is now grounded by the Zongren Mansion for this matter, that is a matter of course, so you two don't mention that he feels aggrieved and unwilling, he really can't be so tiredγ After saying that, she sighed, glared at Erfu angrily, and focused her attention on Tong Jiashi, who was sitting under Erfu.
In fact, it's not that she doesn't know that Erfu went to the Zongren Mansion to worry about the safety of the fourth child, and she is also kind, not to mention that she, as a mother, is not worried about the fourth child, but at this time, this worry will be pressed in her heart, and when she faces the saint, she can't even show her worried appearance, this is the rule of the palace, this is the palace Mingzhe to protect herself, The trick to favor stability, because it is the emperor's decision to send the fourth child to the Zongren Mansion to be grounded, even if you are wronged in your heart, this grievance must be pressed in your heart, and Erfu swaggered to the Zongren Mansion, that is simply slapping the emperor's face, if she didn't get the news early, she specially went to Xinuan Pavilion to explain, it is estimated that when Erfu handed the sign into the palace today, she was directly stopped outside the palace gate.
And this scene, if it happens, it will inevitably be seen by those princes and nobles, and the ministers of the court, and it will definitely make these smart people think of the body of the fourth master, those wall grass that falls with the wind, in order to please other princes, even if they don't want to fall into the well, they will definitely make a move.
The wall is pushed by everyone, and the tree is scattered, this sentence is on the lips of all losers, but many times these losers are unlucky in the hands of everyone under the wall and the monkeys gathered under the tree, maybe there are no people who fall into the well, the wall that is not solid, the crumbling tree, can get through, it is precisely because of this that Concubine De Niangniang will specially tell Erfu to do more wrong, do less wrong, and not do well.
It's a pity that Elof doesn't seem to take this sentence to heart.
To tell the truth, if it weren't for the palace gate, she would have killed the fourth master's mansion yesterday when she knew that Erfu had gone to the Zongren Mansion, and dragged this daughter-in-law, who didn't listen to the command at all and thought she was smart, to the Zongmiao to kneel.
Today, Erfu handed over the sign to the palace early to ask for peace, and it was clear that she had entered the palace to inquire about the news, where did she still have a good face, which is that there was also Tong Jia's side Fujin sitting next to her, as a mother-in-law, and as the palace concubine of the lord of the first palace, she was not good in front of a concubine, too much of Erfu's face, otherwise she would have blasted Erfu out.
Erfu didn't know what Concubine De was thinking, she was timid for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage, remembering that when she entered the palace gate, Shi Lansai gave her the brocade box, and hurriedly held it in her hand like a treasure, and handed it to Concubine De Niangniang, and said in a low voice: "The concubine rushed to copy it overnight, and finally copied the ten volumes of scriptures ordered by the mother, hoping that the day of the mother's worship was not delayed." β
"Even if you have a bit of filial piety, then let it go first. Seeing that Erfu could still come up with such an excuse, she was a little more satisfied, and her face improved, and she responded lightly, so she put the brocade box handed over by Erfu and put it at hand, and at the same time gave Erfu and Tong Jia's eviction order.
But even so, she still said what she should have said, especially the sentence "do more wrong, do less wrong, don't do good", she emphasized again, she was frightened by Erf's self-assertion.
Erfu responded in a daze, and led the palace maid out of the palace gate in a daze, until she got into the carriage back to the house, and Tong Jiashi poured a cup of tea for her to moisten her lips, and she remembered the words that Concubine De specially explained to her yesterday.
Thinking of this, Erfu glared at Tong Jiashi quietly.
If it weren't for Tong Jia's words and provocation yesterday, how could she forget Concubine De's words in such a daze, no wonder Concubine De didn't have a good look when she saw her, if she had such a daughter-in-law who didn't listen to her own orders, I am afraid it would be difficult to be happy, but thinking of this, she was also fortunate that she temporarily called Tong Jiashi and her own son into the palace together, otherwise it is estimated that she would have to stand in the courtyard of Yonghe Palace again.
Of course, Erfu did not anger Tong Jia's family just because of this.
Tong Jia's family will calculate her, this is a matter of course, she is a rival in love, if you want to coexist peacefully, you definitely don't just need a bowl of water on the fourth master's side, but also pay attention to the word "eye", she first saw Tong Jia's because she thought Tong Jia's was good, but looking at Tong Jia's meant that she was unwilling to succumb to the position of side Fujin for a day, so they were destined to not be able to get along, so Tong Jia's would calculate her, and what reason did she have to blame Tong Jia's.
Thinking about this, Erfu, who had been suffering from a bitter face, reluctantly smiled at herself, and said slowly to Tong Jiashi, who was also suffering from a bitter face next to her: "I'm afraid that you are being affected by me today, I thought that I could say a few words with my mother, but I didn't expect to be sent out of the palace by my mother so soon, I saw that the gifts you prepared for Concubine Tong Jia were not delivered." β
"Fujin, what are you talking about, this matter should be handled urgently. β
"It's rare for you to be so considerate. β
"The concubine is ashamed. Tong Jia's cheeks were slightly red.
Erfu waved his hand slightly, picked up the teapot and refilled a cup of hot tea for Tong Jia's family, and said with a smile: "You really can't hold my face when you say this, but let's not talk about this today, the left and right mothers have already ordered, let's stop doing more."
After the fourth master comes out of the Zongren Mansion, let's go into the palace again to say goodbye to the mother.
As for these days, let's not walk around outside more, if my sister is bored in the courtyard, walk to Lanyue Tower, the few plays I have recently asked the troupe to rehearse are quite good. β
"The concubine is worried and doesn't know what to do to pass the time!" Tong Jiashi also replied with a smile in her eyes, she was not happy to be able to go to Lanyue Tower to listen to the play, she was happy that Erfu treated her as her own person.
Gossip is often time-consuming.
While talking, the two have already returned to the house, Erfu let Tong Jiashi come to the main courtyard to sit for a while, and let the kitchen behind Zhang Luo a good table to send over, the two who have been washed up are like sisters sitting at the table, talking and laughing, drinking and eating together, until after noon, Erfu sent the slightly drunk Tong Jiashi out of the door.
Watching Tong Jiashi walk away, he turned around and returned to the upper room, just sitting in front of the dressing table, planning to remove the heavy hairpin in the lower room, and take a good nap Erfu, but he didn't have time to tell Shilan to come over and serve and freshen up, and Shiqing, who had been waiting outside, trotted all the way to Erfu: "Father-in-law Chen Fu in the front yard is still waiting for you in the side compartment, do you want to see you now." β
"Why is he here?" murmured Erph, turning back into the hall.
She beckoned Shilan to open the doors and windows for ventilation, and wiped her face with a wet handkerchief, she cleaned up here, and Shiqing also led Chen Fu in, she smiled and pointed to the official hat chair placed under her head, and did not go around the corner, and asked directly to the point: "Father-in-law is coming here, I'm afraid there is something serious, so let's just say it." β
"That Fan Yao Fan Yushi is really very suspicious, when Zhang Bao led people over yesterday, the Fan family happened to be moving, Zhang Bao pretended to be a neighbor near the Fan family, and took the opportunity to sneak into the Fan Mansion, and accidentally found that in the Fan family's firewood room, there were three or five large boxes stacked against the wall, and he secretly opened a box, which was full of one hundred taels of silver ingots.
According to the old slave's investigation, this Fan family was originally an ordinary farming family, where would there be such a huge amount of money, obviously someone didn't know who made the silver win him over. After speaking, Chen Fu took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to Erfu.
