Chapter 761
In a palm-sized purse, pour out two lotus seeds, rice-sized pearls. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The best Dongzhu was Erfu's fair-skinned, pink little hands, set off extraordinarily lush, lovely, all women saw it, I am afraid they will be attracted by this lustrous light, but among these women, there is absolutely no Erfu, Erfu was a little disappointed to put Dongzhu back in the purse, to the fourth master who smiled at the corner of his mouth, softly thanked him, and put the purse next to the pillow.
The fourth master hurriedly sat up straight, took Erfu, who had an obviously wrong expression, into his arms, stretched out his arms, and took the purse that Erfu casually put on the pillow in his hand, and asked softly, "Don't like it?"
"Nope. Erff replied lightly.
This East Pearl is indeed worth a lot of money, but for Erf, she is not rare.
In the past, she has received a lot of gifts from the fourth master, up to the rare treasures worth thousands of gold, down to the daily use of combs, hand mirrors, but there has never been such a foolish thing, on preciousness, this East Pearl is not as good as the red coral bonsai given to her by the fourth master, on rarity, this East Pearl is not as good as the gilded telescope given to her by the fourth master, on the heart, this East Pearl is not as good as the Nanmu comb carved by the fourth master for her, no wonder she is not happy.
The relationship between her and the fourth master, she thought it was getting closer and closer, but it seemed that it was ......
Women are cautious, don't look at her knowing that the fourth master will not have anything with Lily, and even she knows very well that what Lily said is to sow discord, but she listened to it in her ears, and even remembered it in her heart, seeing that the good situation was about to collapse, the fourth master took out a pair of small silver skein earrings from his purse as if he was doing a trick.
"I have long seen that you like silver jewelry, I specially followed the old craftsman to learn for a few days, and finally made a pair that is decent, you see, do you still like it?" While speaking, the fourth master took the pair of Dongzhu in his hand again, pressed it in the groove reserved for the earring, and personally put it on Erfu's small and delicate earlobe, and from the pillow, he took out a hand-held mirror inlaid with black pearls and handed it to Erfu's eyes.
Erfu blushed and pushed the fourth master lightly, "You deliberately lied to me?"
"What's the matter, it's obvious that you're too impatient, and you put the gift aside without even seeing it, and you haven't said that you don't care about what the master gave you!" The fourth master enjoyed Erfu's little vexatiousness, smiled and took Erfu into his arms, and gently dropped a kiss on her forehead, and retorted softly.
He did it on purpose, where would he not understand the gift and pay attention to it, but he understood the truth of wanting to promote and suppress first, looking at Erfu's face suddenly brightened, his eyes were full of admiration for him, he felt that his hard work was not in vain, although in the eyes of others, he seemed to be a little unprofessional, and he didn't care about the big things in the court, but got into a little-known shop, and followed the master who had some flowers in his eyes to make jewelry, but this sense of accomplishment was the driving force that made him want to stop.
"Do you like it?" the fourth master asked the same thing again.
Different from the perfunctory just now, Erfu nodded happily, smiled and gave the fourth master a kiss back, although it only fell on the fourth master's cheek, but she still blushed and escaped from this small world.
Listening to the undisguised hearty laughter of the fourth master behind him, Erfu smiled unconsciously.
When she returned to the house, she knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, but at the moment when she was half-forced to follow the Wulanala clan back to the house, her heart was reluctant, and even a little resistant, even looking at this two-story building specially built for Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er to live more spacious and comfortable, the grievances and sentimentalities in her heart were difficult to be strict and heavy, and all the negative emotions were completely dissipated with the gift given by the fourth master.
The child is gone, she is sad, and the fourth master is also sad.
She shouldn't embarrass the fourth master who is as sad as her, maybe the child leaves the fourth master's mansion that is difficult step by step, but will devote himself to a happier family, maybe they will have a pair of parents who love them, and they will take care of their younger siblings...... Although it is not as good as living in the royal family, it is also warm and sweet, who said that the rich life of the royal family must represent happiness and health, who can say that ordinary people's homes, in order to eat, drink, wear and work hard must be unfortunate, as long as they live in a warm and sweet environment, it is the greatest happiness.
All she can do is pray for the children's blessings and for their happiness and well-being in the next life.
Thinking like this, Erfu walked to the warm pavilion, the white jade Guanyin statue she specially invited back had already been placed in the Buddhist shrine by Ya'er, and Erfu, who washed her hands with clean water, took the sandalwood placed next to the Buddhist shrine and lit it, picked up the hollow carving Ruyi Ping'an hand-held twisted beads that she was used to, knelt on the futon placed in front of the Buddha, silently recited the Buddhist scriptures that had long been familiar to her heart, praying for the afterlife of Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er, and also praying for Hongxuan and Xiao Qi to grow up safely.
Hatred, she never forget, but she is no longer willing to immerse herself in sadness, until this moment, she completely let go of the mustard in her heart for the fourth master, and completely restored her normal heart, and made all psychological preparations to face the treacherous situation in Beijing and the complicated personnel relations in the house.
Back in the inner room, Erfu looked at the fourth master who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, reached out and lifted the embroidered brocade quilt on the fourth master, and pulled the fourth master up with a smile, "It's not too early, don't lie on the bed, get up quickly, so that the girl can lead the people to put the luggage in place." ”
"In order to prepare a gift for you, I haven't slept for three days and three nights. The fourth master also seemed to notice the difference in Erfu, and collapsed on the bed very relaxedly, playing like a child.
It was only Erfu who ignored his whining words, smiled and let go of his hand, called the maid who was waiting outside to come over and serve the dresser, and walked to the dressing table and sat down in a few steps, and threatened unhurriedly: "Get up, if you don't get up again, then you are ready to sleep in the Luohan bed outside today!"
"What a. The fourth master jumped up as if he was afraid and muttered in a low voice.
"Isn't that good, this man needs to be restrained by a woman. Erfu was not ashamed, but proud to smile back, looked at the fourth master who walked behind the screen with the brocade clothes to change, and dialed the earrings inlaid with silver skeins in his ears, and said softly.
"Master has found out, you are becoming more and more eloquent. The fourth master, who had changed his clothes, walked to the beauty couch beside Erfu and sat down while sorting out the gilt buckle on the neckline, looking at Erfu with a quiet smile on his face in the mirror, he reached out and shook a plain silver gilt pendant willow leaf tassel and put it on her sideburns.
Elegant, dignified...... All kinds of beautiful words are not enough to describe the Erf at this time.
As the light outside the window gradually dimmed, the sound of silk and bamboo next to the flower hall reached the ears of everyone in the house with the wind, and the fourth master put a sky blue cloak embroidered with a silver silk embroidered flying phoenix with dark side teeth, and gently put it on Erfu's shoulders.
In the flower hall, in front of a floor-to-ceiling screen carved with the pattern of Hongfu Qitian, next to the round table full of all kinds of delicacies, the Wulanala clan led the few remaining female dependents in the mansion, and was sitting in the small hall on the side to talk, she looked at the two people who walked into the flower hall hand in hand, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and then she quickly took the lead in getting up with a smile, facing the fourth master who had not yet come closer, Ying Ying leaned over, bowed and said: "The concubine has seen the fourth master, please be safe to the fourth master." ”
There was a burst of warblers, and all the daughters also followed the movements of the Wulanala clan, and they all looked at the fourth master and Erfu who showed their affection, and saluted together: "The concubine/concubine has seen the fourth master and the Guarjia side Fujin, please the fourth master, please Guerjia side Fujinan." ”
"Ordinary family banquets, don't be restrained, everyone can sit down!" The fourth master sent Erfu all the way to the first official hat chair under the head of the Ulanala clan and stood still, then turned to the girls who were formidant, waved his hand and said.
Erfu also bowed to the Ulanala clan at the right time, and asked softly: "The concubine has seen Fujin, and Fujin is auspicious." ”
The Wulanala clan, who sat down with the fourth master again, looked at Erfu, who bowed to her next, thinking about the show-off appearance that Erfu had just come hand in hand with the fourth master, and the roots of his teeth itched with hatred in his heart, wishing that Erfu had always maintained this posture and never got up, but he had to face the fourth master, with a smile on her face, indicating her generosity and virtue as a wife, "Sister Erfu, quickly excuse me, you have worked hard all the way back today, so don't be bound by these vulgar etiquette." As she spoke, she didn't forget to praise Erfu to the fourth master, "Look, this sister Guerjia is the one who talks about the rules." ”
Hearing this, the fourth master nodded to Erfu with a smile, turned his head to look at the Wulanala clan whose face was distorted, and gave a knowing blow, "The Guerjia clan is a person who understands the rules, you are Chang Fujin, she salutes you, and it is also right, although she is weak and has just recovered from her illness, but she has been away from the house these days, what is the matter with this return, it should also be for you to ask for peace, if you really feel sorry for her, then avoid her daily morning and dusk." ”
"That's natural. The Ulanala clan was as disgusted as if eating a hundred flies, but he had to force a smile to agree, and nodded again and again, "My sister is not well-boneed, but she should take care of it, and now it is the time when the autumn cold is rising, and it is very cold in the morning and night, if it is to talk to me, and my sister is sick, then I am really guilty as a sister, my sister is good to raise it in the west courtyard, and when her body is better, when will she come to talk to her sister again." ”
"The concubine Xie Fujin is compassionate. Erf, who was getting worse and worse, replied with a smile.
I thought that Erfu would be as well-behaved as before, but I really never dreamed that she would agree so happily, and she couldn't manage her expression well, and she couldn't even take care of the fourth master sitting on the side, an old face covered with fat powder, hideous like a ghost in hell, stared at Erfu who was smiling like a flower, and after a while, he suppressed the cruel curse that had slipped to his mouth, nodded with a reluctant smile, and continued to laugh and chat with the girls.
"It's not too early, so let's start early.
Child, have you arranged everything?" The fourth master listened to the extremely boring topic, and after a while, he was unwilling to be lonely and interrupted the half-spoken words of the Wulanala clan, cleared his throat, and said loudly.
The Ulanala clan only felt that today's reception banquet was simply a slap in the face.
She was married to the prince Fujin who entered the door, how did she fall to the status of a housekeeper's mother-in-law, she regarded it as an important honor in life, is it to take care of the children born to those annoying women, listening to the fourth master's extremely piercing words, she had to respond, "Master, you can rest assured, the concubine has already told the big kitchen to prepare a banquet, and sent it to Honghui and Hongyun who were eating in the front yard, as well as Mo Yaqi and Xiaoqi who stayed in the west courtyard and the east courtyard respectively. ”
"That's good, the two elder brothers are old, and it's not good to go in and out of the inner courtyard often, and it's even more inconvenient to eat with the ladies in the house, but when this kind of excitement occurs, you can't neglect them, as for Xiao Qi and Mo Yaqi, you also have to pay more attention, lest those slaves who follow the red and white step on the white bully the Gege in our house, I don't want ordinary people to have a patriarchal style in our house." Hearing this, the fourth master nodded, got up and walked to the round table that had already been served, and as he walked, he did not forget to preach to the Wulanala clan.
Poor Wulanala followed the fourth master to Fengtai, and he didn't even have the strength to speak, but he still had to fight hard to pick up the wind banquet for Erfu, and invited a famous opera troupe in Beijing to come over to sing in the hall, but she didn't hear a word of warmth, but was slapped in the face by the fourth master and Erfu everywhere, and she was really stuffed to the extreme.
The distressed and paralyzed Wulanala clan smiled and agreed, and before the fourth master was dismissed, she quickly left the scene under the excuse of being tired, and with the departure of the Wulanala clan, the Li family, the Mengdie girl and the Wulanala clan who had already surfaced their refuge in the Wulanala clan also found excuses to leave.
A good reception banquet turned out to be anticlimactic, but the fourth master was very satisfied.
He gave Erfu a very favorite gift today, thinking that Xiao Nizi would definitely serve him well, instead of wasting time watching these hypocritical women perform in the flower hall, he naturally wanted to take Erfu's hand early and go back to the West Courtyard as soon as possible.
The fourth master thought so, and he did it.
It's just that he was just about to reach out and grab Xiao Nizi's little hand like congealed cream, and go back to the west courtyard affectionately, when he saw Erfu shyly and uneasily glance at Dong E, who was sitting down as a transparent person.
It's so bummery, there is wood!
The fourth master looked at Dong Egege, who was still sitting in the place where his head was still moving, twisted his eyebrows unhappily, and said, "You are pregnant with a child, why don't you know how to cherish yourself, hurry up and go back and rest!"
Then the concubine retired first. ”
Dong Egege had a feeling of patting the horse's hooves, and he didn't care about the heaviness of his body and his inconvenience, so he hurriedly got up and gave a blessing to the fourth master, then held the wrist of the palace maid next to him, and walked out in a hurry.
