Chapter 697
"Let people stare at the movement over there in the dazzling color fang, and the master wants to see what kind of chess Fang Fujin is playing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "As soon as the fourth master came out of the gate of the West Courtyard, he sent away the other little eunuchs who were accompanying him, leaving Su Peisheng alone to follow him, and commanded lightly.
The seeds of doubt took root in the heart of the fourth master.
Su Peisheng nodded stunnedly, followed in response, and walked a long way, then he looked back at the direction of the West Courtyard uneasily, he was really curious about what the master and this side Fujin said, why did the master come to such an order as soon as he went out, shouldn't these two people completely break up, he seemed to see behind the fourth master, there were layers of black smoke, as if he had turned into a hell demon and walked towards the direction of the Hanging Flower Gate, he couldn't imagine that if this was the case, then what would the sky of the Fourth Master's Mansion look like!
But he's just a slave who does what he wants, and he really can't take care of anyone.
Thinking like this, Su Peisheng followed the fourth master back to the outside of the study, the fourth master looked at Su Peisheng who was still following him, and smashed his mouth impatiently, Su Peisheng nodded knowingly, respectfully opened the door for the fourth master, and saw the fourth master enter the study, sat behind the bookcase and was busy, and then turned around and went to the front yard to arrange manpower.
Xuancaifang, located in Wangdi in Beijing, is lined with teahouses and wine shops on the left and right, people come and go, traffic is busy, people do not need to be specially selected, as long as they are not strange-looking, personal characteristics are too obvious, they will not be noticed, Su Peisheng did not spend much effort from the bottom of the fourth master's mansion, selected four little eunuchs with strict mouths, cleverness, and innocent family background, and arranged this matter properly.
After arranging these, he specially said hello to Chen Fu's side, and asked Chen Fu to arrange an experienced secret guard to come over, and gave a few little eunuchs who were going to go to the Xuancai Fang to keep an eye on them, and sent some clothes worn by ordinary people, and then sent a few little eunuchs who had changed their faces out of the corner gate, turned around and went back to the study to report to the fourth master.
In the study, the fourth master was discussing the important affairs of the court with his staff, and saw Su Peisheng appear under the corridor with a probe, turned his head to glance at the gilt enamel table clock placed on the Bogu shelf, cleared his throat, tapped the table with one hand slightly, and said softly: "In a blink of an eye, it's almost noon, you have also been detained in the study for so long, go down and drink tea to slow down!"
After speaking, he glanced at Su Peisheng who was poking under the corridor.
Several staff members glanced at each other, got up one after another, bowed their hands, and exited the study.
"It's all arranged, I don't want any rumors of this matter to get out, our house is being watched by other masters, but I've seen enough!" The fourth master took a sip of some cold tea in his hand, glanced at Su Peisheng coldly, and commanded in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, master.
The minions are all those inconspicuous little eunuchs, and they don't have any messy relatives, and Chen Fu's father-in-law is staring at him, and he won't be found in the future, so the slaves will let Xiao Shunzi go out of the house on time to meet with them, and they will not be allowed to go back and forth between the inner and outer cities, and the custody will not be followed. Su Peisheng said that he was already very hard to sell himself as a slave to become a eunuch, but he didn't expect that in addition to learning to serve people, he also had to master all kinds of special skills, if he knew that one day, when he was abducted and trafficked by human traffickers, he would rather go to the sideshow troupe in the streets and alleys as an apprentice.
The fourth master glanced at him and threw a waist card in his hand to him.
This is a waist card for entering and exiting the mansion, don't look at Su Peisheng is the eldest duke in the mansion, following the fourth master, it is also too beautiful not to want, but when he does not follow the fourth master, he can't go out of the house casually, although if he has to go out, no one will dare to stop him, but the news of his private departure will definitely be sent to the fourth master's desk immediately.
Now that he has this waist card, even if he gets the pass, he is the same as Chen Fu and Zhang Bao, the two father-in-laws hiding in the shadows, although this is used by the fourth master to do things for him, he also has a feeling of boiling out, and he can't wait to cry immediately to vent the excitement in his heart.
However, considering that the fourth master was estimated to dislike him and lose face, he kicked him out of sight to do drudgery, he forcibly held back the tears that had surged into his eyes, and retreated to the side with a thousand strokes in a proper manner.
The fourth master nodded with satisfaction and continued to deal with the business that was pressed on the desk.
During this time, first Fujue Luo's coffin went to Shengjing, and then Erfu trespassed into the Zongren Mansion, Hongyun, Hongxuan, Xiaojiu, Jiu'er and other children passed away, he had no intention of political affairs, the old man Kangxi let him rest for a while, and the errands of the Criminal Department were temporarily entrusted to the hands of the old thirteen, but he still couldn't rest assured, once the rights in his hands were handed over, it would not be so easy to take them back, even if that person was his most trusted brother Lao Thirteen, he couldn't be 100% relieved and trusted, he must always pay attention to the movements of the Criminal Department, so as to prevent those officials who were swinging in the wind from taking refuge in the old thirteen and setting him up as the prince who sat in the Criminal Department。
are also children living in the palace, who can really be worse than whom.
Although the thirteenth looked like he had no intention of going to court, but before the third Yinzhi was not also working with a group of Hanlin to repair the book, with the reinstatement of the crown prince, it was not that he missed the ambition in his heart, and he was fighting against the eighth child one by one.
The fourth master looked at the newspaper while thinking about his thoughts, and gradually forgot about the things in the west courtyard, but Erfu did not calm down so easily, she looked at the back of the fourth master leaving, sat in place and thought for a while, and finally found some clues, and then turned her head to look at her messy bed, and hurriedly put away the title deeds stuffed in the sleeves and the paper, pen, ink and inkstone hidden in the nest, and then called Yaoqin and Ya'er, who were waiting under the corridor, to come in.
"Fourth Master come here, why didn't you pass it on?" Erfu asked in a low voice with a slight dissatisfaction to Erfu, who leaned over to salute.
Yaoqin and Ya'er glanced at each other, took a step forward, and said: "The master entered the courtyard without letting people pass the word, and when I heard the slave and maid say that the master was resting, I didn't let the slaves and maids wake up the master, and I opened the door and entered the room by myself." ”
"Don't do this next time, where can you be so unruly. Erfu also knew that there was a precedent for the fourth master to come and go to the western courtyard and not let the eunuchs pass it on, before she felt that this was a very close performance, and she also liked to mess around with the fourth master like this, but now she always secretly counts the small treasury, but she feels that it is very inconvenient, but she can't control the people around the fourth master, so she can only remind Yaoqin that they should be more vigilant.
Yaoqin and the two of them looked at each other again, and Qi Qi Ying claimed to be.
Erfu looked at the sun outside and got higher and higher, and then thought that if she said that she would continue to sleep at this time, it would obviously be a little unrealistic, but let others see the clues, so she asked Yaoqin to make the bed, and led the girl directly to the yard.
She wouldn't be here for long, and she felt a little more freedom in the air.
The sun was warm on her shoulders and above her head, listening to the faint sound of cicadas in the treetops, she forgot about those troubles and sorrows for a while, turned her head to look at the girl standing on her side, and called Xiao Qi to come over, and the mother and daughter walked hand in hand and went into the garden to enjoy the flowers.
Often, happy times always pass very quickly.
Just when Erfu and Xiao Qi were standing in front of a cluster of blooming begonia flowers, waiting for Yaoqin to get scissors and plan to pick a few to decorate the room, Da Li appeared beside her and Xiao Qi wearing a flag suit embroidered with light cyan embroidery and elegant patterns, and his body was as slender as a piece of paper.
Da Li's twilight dress made her age a lot, and the blow of losing her son also made her sideburns a few more strands of silver hair, although Erfu could see that Da Li had made people hide these silver hairs very carefully, and they could wear a little emerald hairpins to cover up, but there were still wisps of exposure.
She put one hand on the wrist of the maidservant girl beside her, and with a light smile on the corner of her mouth, she stopped two or three steps away from Erfu's side, glanced at Erfu, who was standing with Erfu, and said softly: "Sister Guerjia hasn't seen her for many days, and she looks much better." ”
Erfu was impatient to deal with the jealous women in the fourth master's mansion, and now she has made up her mind to leave, and there is no reason to ignore her, thinking that the big Li family will leave if she is bored, but she will continue to talk to Xiao Qi as if she didn't see the big Li family, but she didn't want the big Li family to do the opposite, not only did she not leave, but licked her face, approached her side, and stroked the broken hair in her ears very affectionately, and put a tender begonia hairpin on her sideburns, looking like a sister, while raising her hand to stroke Xiao Qi's hair bun combing the small two heads, the silver hairpin with the hairpin, said with a smile: "Sister Guerjia, you are separated from your sister, but you are still blaming your sister for not saving those poor people in Zhuangzi!"
"Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky.
My sister and I are just mortals, who can we save!
I heard the girls say that my sister didn't stay in the yard all these days, chanting and praying for Hongyun's poor child, how could she come to the garden for a walk in such a leisurely manner. Erfu really didn't want to look at the smile on Li's face, and always felt that Li's smile was laughing at her for being a good person, but she couldn't even protect her poor child, so she pulled Xiao Qi behind her with a little vigilance, bent her knees at Li, pretended to pouted inadvertently, and said softly.
Li Shi asked herself if she had never lost the battle with others, but she came this time, not just to say a few words of gossip with Erfu and stimulate Erfu, it was as simple as stimulating Erfu, she was without a son, but she had already wanted to open it, and she had been nesting in the courtyard to chant the Buddha for Hongyun It was true, but it was just a peace of mind and pretentiousness, and there was not much sadness in it.
But that wasn't what she wanted.
Now, this house is not only the eldest brother of Honghui of Fujin, but the little brother of the Wu family and the Niu Hulu family is still a baby in swaddling clothes, if it is raised by the side early, it is no different from the little brother who was born to her, she is now close to the water and the first month, and the little brother from the Wu family is raised in her yard, if Erfu reflects the taste, and wants to ask for the little brother from the Wu family to raise under her knees, she doesn't think she can compete with Erfu, so she must take advantage of the fact that Erfu is still immersed in the pain of losing her son, and arrange for the back hand as soon as possible。
She specially asked those servants in the house who liked to gossip to spread the absurd remarks that Erfu borrowed his son to seize the position of Fujin, in order to make the fourth master disgusted with Erfu, but she didn't want the rumors to be flying all over the sky, and the fourth master didn't seem to have any suspicions about Erfu, even if Erfu didn't have a good face for the fourth master, the fourth master was also worried about Erfu, and sent a lot of good things into the west courtyard, and even more so in the daytime, he didn't handle official business in the front yard and ran to the west courtyard......
Since the rumors alone could not hurt Erfu's status in the eyes of the fourth master, she could only come forward in person, and it happened that she heard the palace maid next to her say that Erfu led Xiao Qi to walk in the garden, so she hurried over, and sure enough, she found Erfu and Xiao Qi next to this extraordinarily gorgeous begonia flower.
She deliberately provoked the unhappiness in Erfu's heart, so that Erfu could take over the conversation and induce the sentence she wanted.
Sure enough, Erf took the bait.
She just wants to let Erfu, a woman who has her face in front of Shengjing, can't say the truth in her stomach, she knows that the fourth master is worried that Erfu will know about the rumors in the house and be sad, so she arranged a lot of people to stay around the west courtyard, thinking that Erfu doesn't know the criticism of her in the house, and she doesn't know that there are secret guards arranged by the fourth master around her, so when Li heard this, he deliberately held back his tears, and forced himself to be strong and endure the tears in the circles of his eyes, trembling his fingers, pointing at Erfu, and taking a deep breath, as if it took a while to calm down the agitated emotions, swallowed his saliva deeply, suppressed an angry shout to his mouth, and gritted his teeth from his throat, squeezed out a sentence that was broken into slag, "You...... My sister's words are reasonable, life and death are fate, Hongyun's child is unlucky, but my sister also wants to open it.
At the beginning, didn't Hongyu's child also disappear early, Xu is sister's fate should be like this, the child left earlier, wouldn't he be able to be relieved earlier, maybe he could still vote for a good family, and he didn't have to live this kind of fearful life anymore!" Speaking of this, Da Li leaned into Erfu's ear, and added in a small volume that was not heard by the third person, "Just like the three poor children of my sister's Hongxuan, Jiu'er and Xiaojiu, they died early and were born early." ”
