Chapter 780: Returning Home

Chapter 780

As the cook Chen was suddenly called away and never came back, Xiao Shengzi beat all the palace maids and servants who were on errands in the small kitchen, and specially asked Imperial Physician Hu to check the complicated ingredients and condiments, and eliminated all the things that were not good for pregnant women, so he asked Imperial Physician Hu to leave a list of various ingredients and respectfully sent Imperial Physician Hu out of the small kitchen.

The smiling and kind little boy returned to the small kitchen, pointed to the list of copied ingredients, and called the servant to command coldly: "Look carefully, these ingredients are never allowed to appear in the master's menu, if anyone makes a mistake, don't blame me, the eunuch in charge of the stove, for not taking care of the big guys, we should be punished, we are unlucky." ”

When he said this, the big guys are not stupid, and who doesn't understand that something happened to the Chen family.

In the small kitchen in the back, Xiao Shengzi knocked on a group of servants in the kitchen, and the maids in the front yard also brought the big guys together with a straight face, and beat them hard, Su Peisheng, the big celebrity next to the fourth master, also came forward in time to make some intimidation, so that the servants in the west courtyard who were active in their hearts were completely stopped.

Erfu and the fourth master sat side by side on the Luohan bed by the window, and shook their heads with a smile, "It's just that the Chen family added mint leaves to my food in a daze, and you are too much of a fuss." ”

"There's nothing wrong with being careful, you're just too kind, these people aren't alert enough. As he spoke, the fourth master talked about the messy things in the Erfu courtyard, and the ridiculous things done by the servants who didn't know how to lift up, until Delph's cheeks were red and he lowered his head, and then he stopped.

Well, don't blame others for not taking care of your own one-third of an acre of land.

Erf raised her hand in surrender and said helplessly, "Well, it's time to beat them well." ”

"Su Peisheng knows how to measure, and Ya'er is also a clever person, so don't worry. The fourth master also understands the shortcomings of Erfu's soft personality, it is definitely not something that can be changed in a day, she can improve it is already progress, and it will not make her too embarrassed, he raised his hand and pointed out the window, pointed to the maid who had already threatened a group of servants with a big stick, and began to send sweet dates out, and said softly.

If you make a mistake, you will be punished, and if you do a good job, you will not be rewarded, this is the norm in the house.

Ya'er's prestige in the West Courtyard is not enough, but she holds Erfu's private treasury, and she plays very smoothly with her big stick and sweet dates, looking at those servants showing their happy faces, looking surprised and happy, Erfu nodded with satisfaction, sat up straight, took a sip of warm water, and asked with a smile: "We've been out of the house for a few days, is it time to go back." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, wait two more days, and wait until you are better. ”

As soon as he said this, Erfu didn't say much, and rested with peace of mind, but he didn't expect that this time the fourth master was too willful, and led her to live in the Zhuangshang Courtyard until the old man Kangxi led all the princes back to Beijing, so he ordered someone to pack his luggage, and took Erfu and Xiaoqi, who had a slightly bulging belly, and got into the carriage back to the city.

When she returned to the capital again, the first snow in the capital had fallen.

"I thought that I would die after ten days and a half of a month to rest in the village, but I didn't expect it to take so long to leave, I'm afraid that other masters in the house will have opinions. Erfu was idly eating apple slices cut into petals, lifted the curtains, looked at the silver-covered street outside, took a sip of warm water on the small charcoal stove, smiled and asked softly to the lily of the valley that came to pick her up.

The master laughed. Lily of the valley replied with a light smile.

The people who came out of the palace were not good at this, they were too well-behaved, if they weren't close to a certain extent, they would definitely not be able to ask a word of truth, but fortunately, Erfu was also gossiping, and she didn't want to hear the news in the house, let alone let Lily of the Valley stare at the other ladies in the house, she smiled and nodded, and then stopped talking.

In the west courtyard, it is still so simple and elegant.

Erf came all the way back, and although she was sitting in a carriage, she was also very tired.

She simply packed up, didn't even take care of the luggage, led Ya'er and Qingdai to the main courtyard to ask the Ulanala clan to say goodbye, the Ulanala clan didn't leave her to talk more, smiled and said a few words to her, and politely asked Mama Fu to send it out to her, Erfu also understood that the Ulanala clan disliked her more and more, and was not happy to see her, she didn't like to entertain the Ulanala clan, she smiled and said a few kind words to Mama Fu, and then went back to the west courtyard to wash and rest.

The sun was setting in the west, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the house.

Erfu, who was about to make up for her sleep, sat up with a yawn, called Ya'er to ask the time, let Ya'er put the cotton robe on her body, pulled the soft-soled embroidered shoes, went out of the inner room, looked at the hazy courtyard, and said with a pout: "At this hour, why hasn't the fourth master come back yet, could it be that there is something to be busy in front of." ”

With that, she tightened her robe and walked upstairs.

Accustomed to the days when there were no other women, she didn't think much about where the fourth master went, but ignored Ya'er's somewhat embarrassed face, daring to love when Erfu was asleep, the fourth master entered the inner courtyard early, but only went to the west courtyard to sit down and drink tea, and before she had time to change her clothes, she was invited by Li Hezhu, the princess of the Chao/Xian Kingdom, who had just entered the mansion, and she was afraid that she would have to rest in Wushuang Pavilion at this time.

Ya'er swallowed her saliva, for fear that Erfu would ask about the whereabouts of the fourth master.

What you are afraid of is now.

Erfu called Xiao Qi, who also made up for sleep, to go downstairs, while looking at the menu sent by the small kitchen, there was a pair of gossips with Xiao Qi, it seemed that he couldn't take care of the fourth master for the time being, Ya'er just breathed a sigh of relief, Erfu casually commanded Ya'er: "It's so late in the blink of an eye, why hasn't the fourth master come over yet, you send someone to the front yard to ask, this person is iron, rice is steel, even if a lot of things have been pressed these days, you can't even forget the time to eat." ”

When the matter comes to an end, it's not good for the girl to hide it anymore.

She scratched her head embarrassedly, looked at Erfu's little eyes full of expectation, and replied softly with a little hesitation: "Back to the master, when you fell asleep before, the master came over, and I wanted to wait for you to get up for dinner, and specially called the little shengzi over to advise, but before he finished speaking, he was invited by Li Fangfujin of the Wushuang Pavilion." ”

"Wushuang Pavilion, Li Fang Fujin?"

Erfu didn't react for a while, she repeated it like a repeater, and then she remembered the bright and moving beauty Princess Li Hezhu, as soon as she returned to the house, the life of the little folk couple was completely over, but fortunately, she had already been mentally prepared, but she did not lose her temper, she seemed to nod very carelessly, and then softly ordered Ya'er to pass the food.

If it weren't for this incident, Erfu really didn't know that pregnant women should eat so much, even the most common star anise, cinnamon, pepper, and five-spice powder These seasonings can't be eaten, that is, Xiaoshengzi's cooking skills are good, otherwise she is afraid that if her fetus is not well, people will starve to death.

As usual, after a while, the square table outside was full of food.

On the table, three meats, three vegetables, and a cup of hot soup, half of which is a pregnant women's meal specially prepared by Xiaoshengzi for Erfu, Erfu looked at Xiaoqi's braised chicken thighs in his mouth, swallowed his saliva, and resigned himself to drinking a small bowl of fish soup seasoned with only minced salt, and instructed Ya'er to serve a bowl of japonica rice for herself, and then ate with light boiled cabbage and fried mung bean sprouts.

I can't say it's unpalatable, anyway, it's tasteless, and it's true that I don't eat.

Usually it's okay, the fourth master accompanies and coaxes, even if Erfu doesn't like to eat, he can always eat a bowl or two of rice, this time I think that the fourth master went to Li Hezhu's side, she can't tell if she really has eaten enough of the pregnant women's meal prepared by Xiaoshengzi, or she is panicked, a small bowl of rice is down, she put down the chopsticks in her hand in a low mood, and said softly: "I really can't eat, I guess I slept a little more, you let Xiaoshengzi prepare a bowl of red bean porridge and warm it on the stove, and wait for when I am hungry to eat." ”

After speaking, she looked at Xiao Qi who was trying to eat again, and nodded with a smile.

When the child is growing up, he should eat more, but if he eats more at night, it is still easy to accumulate food, she saw Xiao Qi hand the rice bowl to Ya'er to serve rice, and hurriedly waved her hand, beckoned Ya'er, turned her head to Xiao Qi and said softly: "You are going to eat the third bowl, eat less, drink soup, it's almost dark, and you are not afraid of eating too much food." ”

"Eniang, it's rare for my father-in-law to make so much delicious food, so you can let me eat more. Xiao Qi said coquettishly with a smile.

But Erfu didn't eat this set at all, shook her head with a smile, and snatched Xiao Qi's chopsticks, she didn't know who Xiao Qi's taste was, the fourth master ate lightly, and she didn't like to eat big fish and meat, but Xiao Qi couldn't eat without meat, and it was also a loss that Xiao Qi was born in a prince's mansion like the fourth master's mansion, if she was really born in an ordinary people's house, Erfu was really worried that she would starve herself to death like this," It's delicious, you can't be so overeating, E-Niang is not afraid of you eating, if you like to eat, let Xiaoshengzi make it for you a few more times, anyway, you can't eat like this, when you are full, you will put on the chopsticks, if you are still a little hungry, you will drink the soup pad, it is really not good, just wait for a while and drink porridge with E-Niang. ”

After speaking, she pulled Xiao Qi to the east next to her and told Ya'er to clean up.

Xiao Qilian reluctantly looked at the plate of braised chicken thighs and fried beef with green onions on the table, thinking about the fragrant taste in the mouth, smashed his mouth, forced himself to withdraw his attention, and followed Erfu to take a walk in the room to eat.

She knew that overeating was not good, but she was good at it.

Especially these days, she followed Erfu to eat those light meals, and suddenly saw the braised and stir-fried thick oil red sauce, and she couldn't hold her mouth for a while, but she didn't forget Erfu's usual taste preferences, nor did she ignore Erfu's ugly face when she ate, she smiled and hugged Erfu's arm, and asked softly: "Eniang, when you are pregnant with me, do you have to control your diet like this?"

In the end, it was her daughter's intimacy, Erfu smiled and took Xiao Qi in her arms, and said softly: "You kid...... At that time, the eldest grandmother was still in the house, and she took care of her mother's food and clothing, and the menu was set by her, although it was mainly light, but there was no such one-size-fits-all as a little child. ”

"That mother and father-in-law talk, let him find out the menu that the eldest grandmother set before, or prepare food for you according to the previous menu, Xiao Qi see that you haven't eaten well recently, this time has been long, and your body can't bear it." Xiao Qi grabbed Erfu's arm, pointed to the light dishes on the table that were almost untouched, and suggested with some concern.

When Xiao Qi said this, Erfu was also a little moved.

"What are you two talking about!" But before she could speak, the voice of the fourth master sounded outside the door, Erfu heard the sound and looked back, only to see that the fourth master was wearing a dark blue embroidered silver silk tooth padded cotton coat, wearing a melon skin hat with a smoked mink edge, and he stepped into the hall, he threw the big coat into Su Peisheng's arms, while dusting the snowflakes on the hat, he leaned next to the brazier to dispel the cold on his body, and then walked to Erfu's side in a few big steps, reached out and touched Erfu's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and asked with a smile, " It's okay, I didn't expect it to snow, not to mention the delay on the road, you are also suffocated in the car, is there anything uncomfortable!"

"I'm fine, but I slept a little longer and didn't have a good appetite. ”

The fourth master smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to help Erfu who had finished walking, and sat back on the Luohan bed, he took the beauty placed on the Luohan bed and knocked her legs, and said softly: "It's okay, when you are hungry for a while, let Xiaoshengzi do it for you again, you sit down and rest for a while, and the master will beat your legs, so that when you sleep at night, your legs will cramp and be uncomfortable." ”

"Hehe, Ama is so good to Eniang. Seeing this, Xiao Qi joked softly.

When Erfu heard this, he was embarrassed to snatch the jade carving entwined lotus pattern beauty in the fourth master's hand, glanced at him coquettishly, and said in a low voice: "How can the master say it is so serious, don't let the child look at the joke." As she spoke, she glared at Xiao Qi angrily, and went to the study of the West Room to write big characters with Xiao Qi, who was watching the excitement.

She finally had the opportunity to ask the fourth master why he went to Wushuang Pavilion before.

The fourth master knew that Erfu had to ask about this, he smiled teasingly, reached out and grabbed Erfu's little hand and rubbed it back and forth, laughing until Erfu blushed and was embarrassed to overdo it, and then talked about the reason why Li Hezhu invited him over, "Then Princess Li Hezhu is not an ordinary person, this is not the days when we left the house, and the health of the Wulanala clan is not very good, so he handed over all the errands in the house to her and the Li family to take care of. ”

"What does this have to do with you going to the Wushuang Pavilion?" Erfu didn't like the fourth master's answer of avoiding the important and trivial, she pinched the tender meat on the back of the fourth master's hand, gritted her teeth and asked.
