Chapter 208: Grounded
Originally, in order to meet the occasion, Erfu specially chose a relief red brocade box, and the inside was also a dazzling red flannel, but now the red flannel was sprinkled with brown spots.
The beige belt that had been smoked before was also missing, and it was replaced with a turquoise broken hosta, but this hairpin is not an ordinary thing, but after Erfu and the fourth master had a round house before, the fourth master personally hand-held the hairpin on the side of his sideburns, which is very meaningful.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" asked the Ulanala clan casually looking back, but the smugness in his eyes that had succeeded in his treacherous plan did not escape Erph's eyes.
Yuqing, who had been standing behind Erfu and waiting, naturally saw the scene in the brocade box in Erfu's hand, and trembled as if he was swinging.
This is a good day for the master, if the master does not prepare a gift, but this gift has become like this, it is deliberately blocking the master, but at this time, everyone saw Erfu enter the door with a brocade box, if they don't send a congratulatory gift, I'm afraid that these people will not let go of their master.
Yuqing's head flashed with all kinds of methods, but they were all denied one by one, and finally ......
"Master......" Yuqing suddenly pressed Erfu down on the seat, took the brocade box that Erfu was already a little unable to hold, winked at Erfu and walked in the direction of the fourth master, but he didn't want to take a step as if he had tripped something, and fell directly to the ground, and the brocade box in his hand also fell to the ground.
The red brocade box didn't seem to be tightly closed, and the broken hairpin that was originally placed in the center of the brocade box made a few crisp crashing sounds with the marble floor tiles. It shattered into pieces and fell horizontally and vertically in front of Yuqing's eyes.
Erph grabbed the armrests of the seats on both sides tightly with both hands, and the whole person entered a very strange state. There is hatred for the attacker in her eyes, and worry about Yuqing, because she knows the goal of the attacker behind her, and now because of Yuqing's liberation, Xu will not implicate her, but in order to relieve the hatred, Yuqing is afraid that she will not be able to keep it.
Yuqing's whole person trembled and knelt in place. kowtowed to the fourth master on the top again and again, begging for mercy.
"This girl looks at the dowry maid who seems to be her sister, how can she be so imprudent!" Li, a brainless woman, couldn't wait for others to provoke him. Looking at Erf's pale face, he gloated.
Erfu had already rubbed his cold hands together and rubbed each other, and finally calmed down the furious anger in his heart, and looked at the fourth master above. Get up and bow your head. said softly: "This Nizi was spoiled by the concubine, which ruined the good interest of the master and the sisters, but the concubine felt that this was a good omen, and this is also in line with the old saying of broken peace!"
Ulanala glanced at Erfu, smiled gently, and said softly: "My sister wants to protect the slaves around her, it's not a big deal, but my sister talks nonsense so casually. Then it's really a bit too much to say, I'm afraid that sooner or later these minions will cause you big trouble!"
"How can this be concubine nonsense. Besides, this Yuqing has always been diligent in doing things in the past, but now this is just not paying attention, as the saying goes, people have misses, horses have stumbled, who can guarantee that they will not make a mistake in their lives!
It's a bit strict that Fu Jin said, but it's just a few maids who serve people, how much mistake and omission can they make!" Erfu longed to bite off a few pieces of flesh from the provocative face of the Ulanara clan, but she could only suppress the anger in her heart and deal with it with a smile.
The Ulanala clan shrugged his shoulders and turned around as if he didn't care, waiting for the fourth master to decide.
Erfu also stood up firmly, and watched with a pair of eyes expectantly that the fourth master could make an unfair judgment.
"Yuqing smashed the master's things, this is not a big deal, but it can't go unpunished, otherwise if everyone follows suit in the future, what rules are there in this huge mansion!
The Guerjia clan protects the slaves, and they contradict Fujin everywhere, and they should also be punished with small punishments.
But this is the birthday of the master, if it is stained with blood, it is always bad, it is better to fine Yuqing for three months, and the Guerjia clan is grounded for three months!" The fourth master casually stroked the gift sent by the Wulanala clan, and said loudly.
Erfu didn't know how she sat down at that time, but she clearly heard the sound of her heart shattering, if she didn't want to lose face in front of these people who calculated her, she was afraid that she would have cried, and at this time she just sat in her original seat with red eyes, looking at the gloating faces, and engraved this scene deeply in her mind.
At this time, whether it was the high-ranking Fujin Wulanala clan, or the always brainless side Fujin Li clan, or the Song Shu Fujin who lived in a simple place, or the Igege who had just returned home, as well as the four golden flowers and Wang Gege, there was a relaxed and smug smile on their faces, but there was more worry in their eyes.
Erfu's only favorite, they are extremely jealous, but the fourth master disposed of Erfu so easily, but it also made them feel cold and lost time, of course, more excited.
The fourth master looked at Erfu, who was sitting down with a smile, and his heart hurt as if he had a needle prick, but he couldn't express it, he could only secretly say in his heart that he would send away all those restless people and build a paradise for his little Nizi.
"It's not too early, the big guys are all gone!" The fourth master got up as if he was spoiled by Yuqing, and said coldly.
"Yes. Everyone got up and spoke loudly.
With the exit of the fourth master, the Wulanala clan also left the flower hall with the fourth master, and the other women also threw a gloating look at Erfu, and each went back to the courtyard, leaving a room of maids and Erfu alone.
"Master, you must not do this, if you do this, won't you obey the wishes of those of them!" Yuqing looked at the red corners of Erfu's eyes and whispered.
Erfu took a deep breath, squeezed out an ugly smile, got up with Yuqing's wrist, glanced at the broken hosta on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and said softly: "I don't have any sadness, it's just that I've been sitting for a long time, and my body is a little tired." Put that thing away so that people don't say we don't know the rules!"
"Yes, the slave will clean it up!" Yuqing quickly put all the jade pieces back in the red brocade box. Helping Erf out of the flower hall.
The night breeze was blowing, the chill of early winter was rising, although Erfu was wearing a lot, but he couldn't stand the chill in his heart, he shivered as soon as he walked out of the flower hall, looked at the branches that were already full of yellow leaves, and said quietly: "The man is reliable." Sows can go up trees, the ancients don't lie to me!"
After speaking, Erfu held Yuqing's wrist. Walking quickly to the west courtyard, she needs a private corner of her to vent the sadness in her heart.
As Erph's figure disappeared at the end of the path, a black shadow fluttered down on the floor tiles where Erf stood, following Erph's stunned appearance. Looking at the canopy of trees that have lost their leaves. Whispered, "What kind of old saying is this?"
As soon as the words fell, the black shadow chased Erfu out of front of the flower hall.
In the West Courtyard, Yu Jie, Yu Bing and others had already received the news from the front, and looked at the eldest grandmother who was teasing Xiao Qi with unkind eyes, not because they knew the details of what happened in front of them, but just because the eldest grandmother was the grandmother of the fourth master, they just disliked her.
The eldest grandmother sighed in her heart and said secretly: Master. You're not shallow!
"Master, are you alright?" Yu Bing and the others saw the lantern that Erfu had returned. He hurried into the courtyard, gathered around Erf, and asked in a chattering voice.
Erfu shook his head slightly, did not answer, but walked directly into the main room, looked at the big mother who was coaxing Xiao Qi in the outer room, looked stunned, took the hot handkerchief sent by Yu Bing and wiped his hands, came to Xiao Qi, touched Xiao Qi's tender little face, and showed a smile.
"It's not too early, Mama take Xiao Qi to rest, lest she lose her energy tomorrow!" Erph said with a smile.
The eldest grandmother bowed slightly, wrapped the brocade quilt for Xiao Qi, hurriedly left the scope of the main room, handed Xiao Qi to the grandmother who came to pick up, and entered the west wing room together.
"Master, are you okay!" Yu Bing has always been straightforward and quick-hearted, even if he knew that he shouldn't poke Erfu's heart at this time, he couldn't help but step forward and ask.
Along the way, Erfu had already sorted out the mess of her mind, coupled with Xiao Qi's warm smile, it was much calmer, she hooked her lips and smiled, as if nothing that made her sad had happened, and said in a low voice: "I'm naturally fine, you have also tossed for a day, leave Yuqing to wait, you all go down and rest!"
"Yes, master!" Yu Bing wanted to say a few more words, but Yu Jie covered her mouth and dragged her out, and it seemed that the steps of several people leaving were a little wolf.
Erfu casually nestled on the kang outside, fiddling with a small dress of Xiao Qi, and the tears in the corners of her eyes finally fell.
Silent tears always make people feel distressed.
Yuqing has been by Erfu's side for more than three years, except for seeing Erfu crying once, he has never seen Erfu cry again, and when he saw Erfu's tears at this time, his heart was also sour, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
"Master, why don't you let someone send a message back to our family Fujin tomorrow!" Yuqing said tentatively in a small whisper.
Erfu wiped the tears on her face, made the original delicate makeup look like a messy palette, took a deep breath, looked at Yuqing with watery teary eyes, and said softly: "Yuqing, you and Yubing are the wedding maids arranged by Eniang for me, and your family members are all working in my Guarjia Mansion, so you should know some secrets of my family."
Even if you don't know about my family, but after following me for three years, you must be able to see a little bit, my mother is not close to me, and she never even came to visit me when I was pregnant, do you think I sent back the news to the house, will she really care about me?"
"Then master, what should we do?" Yuqing naturally knew what Erfu said, and it was just a possibility at this time.
Erfu smiled, spread her hands, her face was full of bleak smiles, she casually took the red brocade box brought back by Yuqing, looked at the hosta that was broken into several sections, and said softly: "What can I do, let it be, but it is just a three-month confinement, and it is better to give yourself a holiday."
It's just that this thing was changed for a birthday gift, we should study it carefully, this thing was changed in our yard like this, this really makes me can't even sleep!"
"Master, this main house has never been broken...... Yuqing said with some disbelief.
"Do you think they changed a box from your hand?" said Erph, turning her head and whispering.
Yuqing immediately closed his mouth, it was true.
Along the way, she didn't hand over the brocade box to others, how could anyone do anything, so since it wasn't a problem on the road, it could only be a problem in the room.
And the gift prepared by Erfu was only smoked and put away today, so it could only be a problem when she accompanied Erfu's master to the main courtyard to talk in the afternoon, and Xiao Qi was in the main room at that time, which means that there are at least four or five people in the main room, so this hands-on person must be trusted by the big guys, otherwise it will definitely not move the people who serve in the room.
"Okay, it seems that you have figured it out, then pay attention to it, I want to see who calculates me so much, I'm also tired, you should rest early!"
Erfu looked at the change on Yuqing's face, hooked the corners of her lips, got up and walked into the bead curtain, and lay directly on the folded quilt without washing, pulled a pillow and stuffed it under her body, and sobbed softly.
Under the faint candlelight, the woman's pitiful cry looked so distressing, and the figure outside the window had already clenched her fists.
"Knock knock ......" The flower-edged window of the vermilion green window was gently knocked, in this quiet night, it was particularly harsh, Erfu sat up a little bored, rubbed his swollen eyes, walked to the window without shoes, and pushed open a window casually.
"Erph ......" The familiar voice sounded, and Erfu couldn't help but look out, and the familiar figure in the backlight made Erfu's tears fall again.
The person who came was not someone else, it was the fourth master who had grounded her before, and Erfu originally planned to ignore this bad man again, but at this time, when she heard the low call of the fourth master, Erfu's not strong heart softened again, although Erfu hated her incompetence, but there was nothing she could do.
However, the woman's reserve, so that Erfu still turned around willfully, sat on the bed with her back to the window, and left a beautiful back to the fourth master, and did not pay attention to the fourth master who had climbed in through the window.
"But I'm angry, it's all for you!" The fourth master did not step forward, but poured a cup of tea on the table as if flattering, sent it to Erfu's lips, and said softly.
The moment Erfu saw the fourth master, she was not angry in her heart, but when she thought of her ugly eyes crying, Erfu didn't have the courage to turn back, just lowered her head and took the fourth master's hand, drank a few sips of tea to moisten her throat.
After a while, the fourth master wet the handkerchief again and sent it to Erfu, so that Erfu could wash away the tears on his face. (To be continued......)
