Chapter 202: Surprise
After the palace banquet, there was a little more ambiguous atmosphere in the fourth master's mansion, first the fourth master bumped into Wang Lanqi who was enjoying the flowers in the garden, and then met Wang Lanzhi on the way to the west courtyard, and finally met Wang Lanwei directly in the pavilion.
At this time, Erfu always said that it was strange, originally she was afraid of heat, but in the late autumn season when the Mid-Autumn Festival was getting cooler, these people were still wearing light spring clothes, and she also expressed her secret admiration.
But these four masters seem to have a sudden shaft in their heads, and they would rather accompany Xiao Qi and Erfu to chat with each other all day long, and they don't even look at those few tricks, if they don't walk around the east courtyard and Jingxin Garden and the main courtyard according to the law, Erfu feels that the fourth master is not illuminated by his Mary Sue halo, and decides to guard him like jade.
However, even if the fourth master's legs are grown under the waist of the fourth master, where he goes is his own decision, and the irrational women, without exception, still directly buckle the name of this fox to the master who is concentrating on taking the child to enjoy life.
Concubine De, who was in the center of the palace in the Fourth Master's Mansion, also entered the palace with the Wulanala clan for a few days, and directly sent the palace maid Yuxiu Aunt Yuxiu who was beside her to the west courtyard of the mansion.
Aunt Yuxiu has a face in the palace, but in the end she is still a slave, and she slightly changed Concubine De's angry reprimand, as if she was persuading Erfu from the bottom of her heart, hoping that Erfu could do what Concubine De wanted.
In this regard, Erphna called a helpless. Where did these four masters go, could it really be that she could control zhì?
Not to mention that it was impossible for her to push the fourth master to someone else, even if she was willing to do so. But why didn't Concubine De Niangniang think about how she should live her life in the future, for this kind of person who wants to push her to death, Erfu really can't respect it, plus she saw Concubine De's eccentricity in various TV series before, and the whole person despised her mother-in-law Concubine De Niangniang, who stretched out her hand too long.
However, in order not to tear his face and not let himself be burdened with the name of disobedience and unfilial piety for no reason, Erfu still nodded very sincerely. In addition, he instructed Yuqing to wrap a pair of jasper ruyi in the private treasury and bring it into the palace for Concubine De, hoping to slightly reduce Concubine De's dissatisfaction with herself.
Aunt Yuxiu looked at Erfu's respectful look, and she could only sigh in her heart. took the brocade box wrapped in red cloth and got on the mule cart back to the palace.
The fourth master, who was sitting in the criminal department, got the news from Zhang Bao when he returned home, and he put down the jasper lotus seed soup in his hand that he didn't know which woman sent him, and frowned in distraught, could it be that he really couldn't follow his heart once.
"Su Peisheng!" The fourth master kept his head in the study until he was in charge of the lamp. Only then did he call in a deep voice.
Su Peisheng, who had been praying for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas for a long time outside, shrunk his neck. He quickly went into the study, lit a few candlesticks in the room, stood beside the table in a regular manner, and asked in a low voice, "Master, but you want to enter the inner courtyard?"
"Let's let the kitchen prepare the meal first, there are still some things that have not been dealt with here, and then go to the East Courtyard when the matter is over!" The fourth master can't ignore Concubine De, of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to have the tragic incident of Emperor Shunzhi in his mansion.
It's just that the fourth master must have made up his mind. I don't go to the West Courtyard these days, but I'm a little worried about Erfu, who has just come out of confinement. Afraid that Erfu would have something to think of, he instructed Su Peisheng to send a set of twelve eight-treasure glazed golden hairpins with different shapes and a box of Dongzhu the size of a superb longan to Erfu in the library, and asked Zhang Bao to arrange two good hands to take care of the other side of the west courtyard, so as not to move someone's mind that should not be moved.
Su Peisheng took the pair of cards and took something from the library, and in the tray was a heavy brocade box, which was called a meat pain.
This box of Dongzhu is already worth a thousand gold, not to mention the twelve gold hairpins inlaid with various jewels, which are the sealing knives made by Yangzhou craftsmen, which are definitely good things that money can't buy.
Su Peisheng was distracted, but his steps were not slow, looking at Erfu's smiling and groaning appearance, he dared to hand the news that the fourth master had not been able to come these days to Erfu, and when he saw Erfu's smile, he immediately wanted to turn around and run, and said secretly: Could it be that he has been with the master for a long time, and this angry expression is very similar!
However, Erfu quickly sorted out her mood, and also understood the kindness of the fourth master, if the fourth master really hated her, naturally he would not send such a valuable gift, showed a smiling face again, and ordered Yuqing to reward a big purse, which allowed Yuqing to take the things.
"Thank you for me, Fourth Master, and say I know, let Master never go hungry, be careful with stomach pain!" Erfu commanded with a good wife and motherly posture.
Su Peisheng nodded hurriedly, and was about to leave after a thousand strokes, but he didn't want to be stopped by Erfu again.
"Although Ye is not a picky eater, but he is also a picky mouth, I asked the small kitchen to prepare some sweet pork jerky and beef cubes a few days ago, you can bring some back, just make snacks for Ye!" Erfu instructed Yulan, who was standing next to her, to wrap the contents of the cupboard in the tea room.
Su Peisheng came in a hurry, and hurriedly returned to the study with a snack of three or four catties.
"What did she say?" the fourth master raised his eyes and looked at the box in Su Peisheng's hand, and asked softly.
Su Peisheng hurriedly lowered his body and sent the box to the fourth master.
"The master of Guerjia just told the slave to tell the master that he must not be hungry, and asked the slave to bring these small snacks that he usually makes. ”
The fourth master casually opened the wrapped red cloth, looked at the contents of the mandarin duck food box inside, twisted a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, the salty, fragrant and spicy taste bloomed in his mouth, and his lips unconsciously hooked a smile.
"Put it away carefully, if it's broken. Don't blame you for being unkind!"
Su Peisheng pouted with his back to the fourth master, responded quickly, and sealed the food box. It was placed in a conspicuous corner on the bookshelf next to the wall.
..............................
For half a month, the fourth master has been living in the East Courtyard, and he has spoiled the three Wang Gege who were all kinds of flirtatious before, and has casually enjoyed a lot of silk and jewelry, but they are all things that can be seen every day, but there is nothing rare.
Although the two sisters of the Wang family who entered the mansion later grew up in a wealthy family, they are just a family left over from the previous dynasty. Living on the income from Zhuangzi and shops, I have seen limited things, but I think it is quite rare.
As for the Li family, who lives in the main house. was directly skipped by the fourth master, which made the Li family a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Mo Yaqi accompanied and coaxed, that is, he dropped a few vases and extinguished the fire. Thinking that Gege in the room can hold the heart of the fourth master. It is beneficial and harmless to her, Mo Yaqi, and Hongyun, and she directly made a few new clothes for several Gege.
The third day of September is Erf's birthday, not only the original owner's birthday, but also Erf's birthday.
Although Erfu can understand what the fourth master did for her, she also has some faint expectations in her heart, hoping to let the fourth master accompany her for her birthday. I don't even have the heart to tease Xiao Qi, and I often sit by the window and look out in a daze. made Yuqing and others want to persuade, but they don't know how to persuade them.
When it comes to the matter of the fourth master, Erfu knows everything, but he is depressed all day long......
Seeing that it was the third day of the ninth lunar month, Erfu couldn't sleep when she was lying on the bed, not only because the bitter fourth master was accompanying the woman next to her, but also because she felt that she was becoming more and more greedy, for fear that one day she would completely lose her knowledge.
The night was low, the autumn wind was gusting, and a sudden autumn rain made the temperature in the night a little lower, Erph unconsciously pulled the quilt on his body, and the whole person shrank into a ball, looking at the candlelight faintly visible outside the bed curtain.
"Knock knock knock ......" There was a faint knock on the door in the courtyard, Erfu hurriedly sat up, lifted the corner of the bed curtain and walked off the bed, looking at the darkness outside, he smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and sat on the beauty couch by the window.
Just as Erf was looking at the paintings on the beams, a green light filled the room.
"Master ......" Erfu looked at the figure behind the fluorescence, rushed to the door with surprise in his eyes, looked at the wet shoulders of the fourth master, and couldn't help but snort softly.
I saw that the fourth master at the door was wearing a royal blue cloud brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns, looking at Erfu with a smile on the corner of his mouth, holding a brocade box in his hand, and the green light was from the goose-sized night pearl on the cushion of the brocade box.
"I just got it two days ago, just to celebrate your birthday, I didn't come late!" The fourth master smiled and closed the lid of the brocade box, took Erfu's shoulders and walked through the door, and said softly.
Erfu shook her head with tears in the corners of her eyes, and hurriedly opened the wardrobe and took out her dry robe, "Master, you should change your clothes first!"
"Okay!" The fourth master got up with a smile and casually put the brocade box on the kang table.
The fourth master stepped into the back of the screen, and Erfu also took the opportunity to put a piece of clothing on his body, and lit a few candlesticks, which made the room a lot brighter, and then took out a few plates of snacks from the cabinet, quite a feeling of wanting to eat a candlelight dinner, and looked at the figure behind the screen with his hands on his cheeks.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
The fourth master was wearing a half-new moon-white robe, but he couldn't hide the fourth master's gorgeous temperament, although his movements were casual, but he faintly revealed his nobility, and although his voice was weak, it was very magnetic and hoarse, which caused Erfu to giggle in his heart.
"Where's the maid in your room?" the fourth master casually picked up a piece of chrysanthemum cake that he swallowed and stuffed it into Erfu's mouth, and asked with a smile.
Erfu rubbed her long hair that had been scattered, tied a ponytail casually, and said softly: "I don't like people in the room on weekdays, but now I just arrange them to take care of Xiao Qi, which makes me feel much more comfortable." ”
"You, it really doesn't look like a big family is a bit of a character!" the fourth master said softly.
Erfu felt a thrill in his heart, hooked his lips and smiled, "I don't like them to take care of them in the room, it doesn't look like a big family, I don't think they work hard during the day, why do you have to come and guard it at night, after all, I don't have anything to call them, those little things about drinking water, I just do it myself!"
"If Xiao Qi is as kind as you, you can rest assured!" The fourth master poured a cup of tea for Erfu with his own hands and said loudly.
Speaking of Xiao Qi, Erfu's little face raised a smile, and said with some pride: "Of course, that's my daughter, how can it not be like me!
"It's nonsense, it's not early, let's rest early!" The fourth master knocked on Erfu's brain, listened to the sound of rain outside, and dragged Erfu to the bedside.
Erfu blushed with shame, Fourth Master, you took the initiative to drag us to the bed, your ancients were reserved!
That night, Erfu was like a boat in a storm, and was tossed by the fourth master, and it was too late to call the maid to come over to clean, so he fell asleep directly.
Early the next morning, Erfu, who couldn't open her eyes, touched the position of the pillow with a mentality that the fourth master had left, but found that it was the solid chest of the fourth master, and the little hand immediately took it back as if it had touched the coals.
Erff slept red and fluttered, her pink cheeks turned red at once, and she hurriedly pulled the quilt that had slipped to her chest, blocking the sudden spring light, and turned her head arrogantly, looking at the bright sky outside.
"I'll be with you today!" said the fourth master as if to explain Erfu's confusion.
It's been three years since I entered the house, and the fourth master has never accompanied Erfu on his birthday, not because the fourth master doesn't care about Erfu, but because the matter is not in the house, which makes the fourth master feel a little guilty, this time it is rare to have such an opportunity, so the fourth master was busy in the study yesterday and ran to the west courtyard to give Erfu a surprise.
And without Erfu's knowledge, even Yuqing and the others have been bought by the fourth master, otherwise Yuqing and the others would be blinded, and they would never dare to let Erfu fall asleep alone in the main room, as for the reason Erfu thought, it was just a countermeasure researched by a few maids.
However, the fourth master didn't want to explain these things to Erfu, since he was willing to do these things for her, he didn't necessarily need her to know.
As for Erfu's birthday gift, the fourth master prepared not only the precious night pearl, but the fourth master didn't expect that Erfu was too beautiful under the candlelight last day, which made him a little unbearable, and Erfu didn't open his eyes until near noon, but he could make his woman sleep for so long, as a man's fourth master, he still had a little excitement to say. (To be continued......)
