Chapter One Thousand and Sixty-Four
Chapter One Thousand and Sixty-Four
As the fourth master and Erfu walked to the palace, the family rules that had been finalized were revised several times, although the overlord clause that made countless women in the backyard of the fourth master's mansion feel sullen and short of breath was not revoked, but in the end the boundaries were still delineated, and the grounding time was also demarcated according to the severity of the mistakes, in short, these women did not have to worry about Erfu pinching chicken feathers and cleaning them up.
Because of this, the women who had already planned to ask their mothers for help were waiting to see the excitement.
However, the women in the backyard of the Fourth Master's Mansion are not so blind, they are looking forward to others making mistakes at the same time, and others are also expecting them to make mistakes, and the final result is that this turmoil that should have caused a big mess will disappear quietly.
Let Erf, who was already ready for battle, grin, and went about living his own life step by step.
Of course, Erfu, who yearns for a dull life in her heart, is not the kind of deadly character who has no house to fight and would rather die, she is also after tea and dinner, scratching the tea table a little boringly, and saying a few innocuous complaints will completely leave this matter behind, because she now has a new trouble, that is, the fourth master is too solid-eyed, he thinks that he promised Concubine De to enter the palace to accompany him more, although he can't spare time by himself, but he still specially asked Torfu to enter the palace to ask for peace.
That's a lot, how much!
According to the rules of the ancestors, the prince Fujin, who has been out of the house like Erfu, has to enter the palace twice a month to ask for peace, that is, the first day of the month and the fifteenth day of the month, and there is no need to hand over the brand, as long as he gets up early to accept the Fujin invitation in the house, he will dress neatly and enter the palace with other Fujin, but now she has to enter the palace every three days in addition to the fixed day of entering the palace to ask for peace, if it is not for the fourth master who is afraid that the frequency of her entering and leaving the palace gate is too high, it may cause the suspicion of Emperor Kangxi, and the fourth master hopes that she can be more diligent.
In this regard, Erf is really miserable.
Because of the rules in the palace, don't look at her outside, she is the prince Fujin with infinite scenery, but when she enters the palace, she is a courtier, so she can only follow the palace maid step by step, and honestly walk from Shunzhenmen to Yonghe Palace to greet Concubine De.
It's okay just like that, but now the weather is getting colder and colder, in order to keep out the cold, the more clothes on her body are crossed, walking, sitting in a poorly sealed carriage is okay, even if it is burning a small red mud stove for heating, without wearing a big coat, she will not feel sweaty, but when she arrives at the gate of the palace, she wears a heavy fur and walks, it is really similar to staying in the steam room to do sauna, so every time she arrives at Yonghe Palace, the close-fitting clothes inside her robe are almost soaked, and there is no chance to change and wash Erfu in the palace, she can only endure uncomfortably and hold on to the house。
Tossing back and forth like this is really hard work and uncomfortable.
The same is true today.
Erfu sat down in front of the dressing table with her head a little depressed, letting Shilan and Shiqing dress up for herself, and then she listlessly pulled the neatly ironed stone blue prince Fujin dress on her body, stood up, and sighed: "When will this kind of day of carriage and horses be a head!"
The master said cautiously. Shilan, who was about to come up to help, heard the words and whispered.
Erfu also knew that it was a bit rude for her to say this, but she felt too aggrieved when she kept her mouth shut, so she still decided to vent all the complaints in her stomach according to her own wishes, and then shook her head with a bitter face and said, "I'm just saying it in front of the two of you." ”
After speaking, she also cleaned up her mood, raised a warm and quiet smile again, and appeared in front of people.
It's just that Erfu didn't know that there was a big surprise waiting for her in the palace today!
Because Concubine De felt that she and the fourth master had brushed up the mother-son relationship, and her mother's brother was also urging her to write a letter a day, so when Emperor Kangxi went to Yonghe Palace to stay overnight last night, she directly mentioned that she wanted to fill the backyard for the fourth child.
For this kind of trivial matter, Emperor Kangxi didn't care at all, and Gege who was accused of being Concubine De's maiden niece, and there were no other forces behind it, so he didn't even ask a word, so he nodded directly and agreed, and promised to ventilate Lao Sitong first this morning, and settle this matter as soon as possible.
Because in the eyes of Emperor Kangxi, after all, compared with other princes' mansions, there are still fewer women in the backyard of the fourth prince.
With Emperor Kangxi's permission, she got up early this morning, and Concubine De had not yet dressed up, so she asked someone to send a message to her mother's brother-in-law, so that her mother's brother-in-law could prepare the relevant matters of sending Wu Yahehe out, and she also planned to tell the good news to Erfu's daughter-in-law today.
In fact, it is not the first time that Concubine De has pulled out her niece.
It's just that the concubines and Gege of the Wu Ya clan who were sent to the fourth master and the old fourteenth mansion before, although they were all from the Wu Ya clan, they were the distant nieces of other side branches, and the relationship with Concubine De Niangniang was average, and she didn't care, but this time this Wu Ya Hehe was different, after the death of her Princess Wen Xian, this Wu Ya Hehe, who was five points similar to Wen Xian, was loved by her as her own daughter, and she would be specially invited to the palace to be a companion during the New Year's holidays, which shows how difficult the newcomer Wu Ya Hehe is to Erfu.
So when Erfu walked into Yonghe Palace with beads of sweat on her head, she hadn't swallowed a sip of tea, and when she heard Concubine De Niangniang talk about the newcomer to the fortress, Wu Yahehe, who had entered the Fourth Master's Mansion, the whole person was stunned.
"Do you have an opinion?" asked Concubine De in a cold voice with a unkind face.
"No, the concubine just didn't expect the mother to be willing to marry off her cousin so early. Erfu hurriedly shook her head and said, she wanted to say that she had an opinion, but Emperor Kangxi valued filial piety the most, and was stimulated by the deceased Bafujin, and especially hated jealous women, even if she ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, she didn't dare to contradict Concubine De at this time, so she could only silently suppress all the bitterness in her heart.
Seeing Erfu's reaction, Concubine De nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hehe has entered your mansion, this palace can rest assured." ”
After saying that, she looked at Erfu meaningfully, hooked her lips and smiled.
To be so trusted by Concubine De Niangniang, she is really enough.
Erfu bet that the smile that Concubine De just showed must be full of malice, as a concubine of the first palace, she secretly ridiculed her, the daughter-in-law of the concubine Fujin, who has no means to govern the family, and has become the soft bun Fujin that all concubines dream of, otherwise Concubine De Niangniang will not be able to stuff the Wu Ya Hehe, whom she loves and cherishes very much, into the Fourth Master's Mansion, at least when the Wu Lan Nala clan was Fu Jin, Wu Ya did not have an unmarried daughter to the mansion to cause trouble, and now Wu Ya Hehe has not entered the mansion, she can already imagine how she will be arrogant with Concubine De Niangniang as a backer。
It's just that before she could sort out her mood and figure out how to answer, Concubine De had already neatly ordered her to expel guests: "The chores in your house are complicated, although there are a few side Fujin to help you share them, you also have to do more, and there are some palace affairs to deal with here in this palace, if you are fine, please retire early!"
"Yes, the concubine will go back first, and come back another day to say goodbye to the mother. Erph bent her knees without tears.
After speaking, there was already a palace maid waiting next to her to lead the way, leading her all the way to Shunzhen Gate, and after she walked out of Shunzhen Gate, she looked at the palace maid who led the way away, and she threw the embroidered handkerchief she was holding in her hand at her feet as if venting, and stepped on it viciously.
With a smile on his face and an MMP in his heart.
Although she has long known that there is no family affection in the palace, she treats Concubine De Niangniang as her own mother, and never forgets to alleviate the embarrassing mother-son relationship between Concubine De Niangniang and the fourth master, in order for the two to sit together harmoniously and harmoniously, she can be said to have said all the good things, and she does not ask Concubine De Niangniang to love her as much as Princess Wenxian, because she is not a mother and daughter, but she is so used by Concubine De Niangniang, how can she have a good mood!
It's just that she still has to be used by Concubine De with a smile, which is a bit difficult for a strong man.
Fortunately, Erfu still had some reason to remind her that the current environment was not a place for her to vent casually, just threw the handkerchief on the flat ground paved with white marble tiles and stepped on it without a trace, pretending to be panicked, and hurriedly squatted down and picked up the already crumpled handkerchief, and at the same time did not forget to pretend to explain: "I was so careless!"
She didn't say this to fool the palace maids around her, but to explain it to the guards in front of the palace gate.
Among the guards at the gate of this palace, God knows how many eyeliner and ears are arranged by someone with a heart, if her gaffe behavior falls in the eyes of Concubine De Niangniang or Emperor Kangxi, it will not become her original sin, so she has to cover it up well, because of this, she quickly returned to her previous dignified and graceful style, one hand on Shilan's raised arm, the other hand holding the slightly raised hem of the robe, and walked towards the carriage parked at the palace gate.
"Master, your face is a little ugly, but what is wrong with your body?" Shilan obviously noticed Erfu's gaffe at that moment before, she helped Erfu to get into the carriage, and before the carriage left the range of Miyagi, she had already lowered her voice and hurriedly asked.
When Erf heard this, she shook her head with a smile and replied softly, "I'm fine, but I'm not happy." ”
"Could it be that Niangniang has just embarrassed her master, and the master really doesn't have to take this kind of thing to heart!" In Yonghe Palace, Shilan did not accompany Erfu, and naturally she didn't know why Erfu was unhappy, and then contacted the words that her master said before going out, she only thought that her master was working hard to go to and from the palace every day, and she was busy lowering her voice to persuade her, for fear that others would see something and cause unnecessary criticism.
Erfu shook her head a little helplessly and said, "There will soon be another Gege from the Wuya clan in our house." ”
"What?" Shilan suddenly heard this, and her face was full of surprise, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
Because in the backyard of the Fourth Master's Mansion, two new concubines from the Wu family have just been added, even if they want to add new people, they should always wait until the end of the next show girl election, which is personally pointed out by Emperor Kangxi, or by Concubine De Niangniang, who was born in Manchuria's Eight Banners, how could she suddenly stuff in a new Gege who was born in a cloth and carrying a flag, thinking of this, she seems to be able to understand the depression of her master.
Don't look at Gege, who was born in Baoyi and carried the flag, but with Concubine De as a backer, it's not an ordinary trouble!
"This is a good thing, the master should be happy, if you let others see it, I am afraid that you will think that you are jealous and have no tolerance for others!" But compared to Erfu, who had an emotional leak, Shilan calmed down faster, she was afraid that Erfu would be angry and quarrel in the car, so she hurriedly lowered her voice and persuaded her.
Erfu also understood that in this kind of car with basically zero sound insulation, it was not a suitable place to speak, seeing Shilan so worried, she didn't say anything more, nodded and leaned on the soft and comfortable soft pillow, looking like she wanted to close her eyes and recuperate, until she returned to the upper room in the main courtyard of the mansion, she angrily said all the words that she had endured in her heart, and she was almost about to jump to her feet and scold Concubine De Niangniang for being a ruthless white-eyed wolf.
Of course, she didn't dare to name Concubine De Niangniang, after all, Concubine De Niangniang was an elder.
Even if she was mad, she only dared to accuse Shilan of being clumsy and poetic, and scolded the little palace maid who was waiting outside the porch so frightened that her legs were weak, she was a little sulking, and she didn't have the energy to continue to vent, she was a little embarrassed to shake off the flowerpot bottom embroidered shoes on her feet, and she didn't even bother to change her clothes, so she hurriedly picked up the warm tea on the table and drank it with a grunt.
"Let people clean up the Autumn Rain Building, and then let Zhao Dezhu choose two capable people to serve in the past, and don't arrange it in the room, just arrange to do some rough work in the courtyard to sprinkle and prune flowers and trees. After a cup of tea, Erph rubbed her still sore throat and commanded in a low voice.
This is the first time she has planted someone in the courtyard of others, and she doesn't want to let the people who are inserted in it do any damage, she just wants to pay more attention to Wu Ya Hehe, after all, this Wu Ya He is different from other concubines in the house, how close the relationship between this Wu Ya He and Concubine De Niangniang is, outsiders can't tell clearly, God knows if Concubine De Niangniang will forget about the dignity of the concubine again, and turn her head to support Wu Ya Hehe and her concubine Fujin to do it against her.
Because of this, she is more worried and more uneasy.
After a while, he had learned from Emperor Kangxi that his Eniang was going to stuff a new Gege in his own backyard and returned to the main courtyard to report, he didn't know who the new Gege candidate was, but he still knew his own Eniang's personality better, and when he thought of his Eniang after getting the permission of Emperor Kangxi, he would inevitably be eager to tell Erfu about it, and he couldn't sit still in the household department.
It's not that he's afraid of guilt, it's just that he can't bear to see Erfu's sad eyes, the fourth master said in his heart.
