Chapter 468

A not harmonious, but very warm dinner, after Erfu poured two large cups of tea, gradually came to an end.

The Ulanala clan knew that the fourth master and Erfu had the habit of taking a walk after dinner on weekdays, so they gave the courtyard in front of the house to the happy couple to toss under the pretext of going back to the inner room to change the medicine.

"You go and change the dressing, don't worry about it here, you are not a child anymore. The fourth master smiled and nodded, agreeing with the arrangement of the Wulanala clan, but he refused to back down at half.

Fortunately, all the people present are old people, and they all understand the hard character of the dead duck of the fourth master, but no one said a word, so they went to their own work, only Erfu, the guest, did not follow the fourth master, it was not good to move around at will, sitting on the rose chair by the window, leaning over, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, a face was eager to stick to the glass window, looking at the front of the room, the courtyard was already vibrant, and several large vat of water lilies.

"Honghui, you go to the front yard to run an errand and call Zhang Bao and Chen Fu over. The fourth master smiled and looked at Erfu's small movements, raised his hand to greet the strict battle, no, no, no, Honghui, who was very restrained, commanded in a low voice.

After speaking, he waved his hand, exempted Honghui's salute, grabbed Erfu, who was lying on the window and lost face, and strode out.

"If you like it, let the flower room get you some too, look at your shameful appearance!" The fourth master leaned on the porcelain vat with lotus leaf pattern, reached out and grabbed Erfu's little hand that wanted to move the lotus petals, and said softly.

In fact, the cultivation of water lilies. It's not difficult, at least for those skilled gardeners in the Fourth Master's Mansion, it's not too strenuous. But Erf always said that it was too troublesome, and only in the courtyard of the Taiping tank, a few koi fish were stocked, only in the tank under the grape trellis, some lotus flowers fished out of the garden pond would be put from time to time to admire.

Of course, there is no such thing as this season now.

After all, the lotus flowers in the pond haven't even grown out of the lotus leaves yet.

"It's too much trouble to get that. Again the old old saying Erph said. At the same time, he pulled back the little hand that was grabbed by the fourth master, reached out and touched the tender lotus petals, and took a deep breath of the unique fragrance of the lotus. The corners of his mouth were bent, like a childish child, revealing an innocent smile.

When the fourth master heard this, he twisted his eyebrows very incomprehensibly. He whispered, "You're a flower watcher." What's so troublesome, even if it's troublesome, it's not the matter of those palace maids in your yard, do you still want you, the master, to take care of these things personally!"

"This flower viewing is to look at a fresh, if you really let people put this water lily in the west courtyard, **** look, I'm afraid I don't like it." So for my little interest, let Yaoqin and them do a lot of work. It's really not worth it.

What's more, I will come to the main courtyard every day, and I will have a good time to look at it, if I really like it one day, I will find Fujin to take two lamps and put them in the room to see, no. Erf smiled and pinched the petals, looking at the thin dark pink mark in the petals, and tilted her head very mischievously.

Speaking of which, Erf is really a person who has not been happy for a long time,

She used to like roses very much, and the fourth master arranged for a florist to make a small flower garden for her in the yard, which was full of flowers of various colors, which was very gratifying.

At first, she thought it was quite romantic, but after a long time, she got tired of it, and found that some small flying insects especially liked to linger among the flowers, and even attracted stinging bees, so she was busy letting people clean up.

Since then, Erf has never made any flower beds or anything like anything in the yard, at most just put some bonsai sent from the flower house.

The fourth master also understood Erfu's point, so when he saw Erfu say this, he didn't say anything more, let alone let the people in the flower room cultivate a batch of water lilies to send her such an idea, only stood aside with a light smile, watching Erfu toss the water lilies in the tank.

Erfu got tired of playing for a while, and after standing for a long time in embroidered shoes at the bottom of the flower pot, the lumbar spine was also a little sore, so he also learned from the fourth master, leaned on the side of the cylinder, and looked in the direction of the upper room.

At this time, the Ulanala clan had already changed the medicine, and was sitting on the Luohan bed by the window to drink the medicine, when he saw Erfu turn around, smiled and waved out of the window, and at the same time sent Qixiang, who was waiting beside him, to go out and invite the fourth master and Erfu into the room to talk.

"Why didn't you walk much. The Ulanala clan smiled and brought hot tea to the fourth master, and asked softly to Erfu.

"Recently, I haven't been exercising, and my body is getting lazier and lazier, and I feel tired after only a few steps. Erf smiled and wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and replied softly.

"In a few days, the weather will be warmer, and the fourth master will be free, so let's go to the garden and stay for a few more days."

It's really tiring to say that this year has passed. "Since the beginning of the year, he has been busy with the New Year's gifts to the various prefectures, and he has been busy verifying the accounts of various places, and he thinks this deeply, and he nodded again and again without waiting for Erfu to finish speaking.

"Since Fujin said so, then the master will let people go over and arrange it first.

At that time, even if you can't spare time here, you can also take a few children to go over first, and there are guards on the left and right sides, and the living is quieter, and it can be looser than in the house. When it came to the garden, the fourth master couldn't help but think of the Old Summer Palace, which had just arrived not long ago, and said with a smile.

To say that this Old Summer Palace, whether it is the location or the scenery, it is much stronger than the house, not only that, but there is a more important point, that is, compared to being confined in the house, living in the garden, it is like being confined to the school for a semester of students to have winter and summer vacations, happy and free, even the fourth master is used to the rules, when I think of the garden, I can't help but feel a little fascinated, I can't wait to pack up in a moment, leave the capital, and go to the garden to live a few days of comfort.

Of course, this is all a matter of thinking about it, even if the fourth master thinks about it in his heart, he can't leave Beijing at this time.

"Master, Brother Honghui has come over with Gonggong Chen and Gonggong Zhang. Just when the fourth master's whole heart ran to the Old Summer Palace, Mama Fu bowed. came to the fourth master and said in a low voice.

The fourth master, who was called back to Shen'er, looked stunned for a moment. Then he raised his eyes and looked at Honghui, Zhang Bao, and Chen Fu who were waiting under the corridor, raised his hand with a smile, and said loudly: "Quickly call them in to talk."

The night dew is heavy, and Honghui's child is not being blown by the wind. ”

After speaking, the fourth master, who was addicted to being a loving father, supported Qi Xiang to put embroidered piers and corners on the head of the Arhat bed opposite Erfu and sitting under him. Hot tea, snacks and other snacks are served.

As soon as the words fell, Qi Xiang and the others were busy, and the arrangements were just made here. Honghui followed Mama Fu and walked into the upper room.

As soon as Honghui opened the robe to salute, the fourth master waved his hand again, and pointed to the embroidered pier under him with a smile. Lang Sheng said, "Gotta get it." Don't be formal, Honghui, sit down and talk!

Sit down, too!"

After speaking, the fourth master stroked his beard under his chin and opened the chatterbox.

"Honghui, you are not young anymore, you can't follow the master to study all day long, and you should know some things in the house. Listen to this matter as well. He said. The fourth master pointed to Chen Fu, who was sitting at the bottom, and smiled and asked him to make a brief introduction to the news in his hand.

Chen Fu, who was named to introduce this matter, got up and arched his hand, took out a well-documented booklet from his sleeve, handed it to the fourth master first, and made a brief introduction, and then returned to his seat and sat down.

It seems that Yu Lin is also forced to be helpless.

A pair of children were pinched in their hands, and it was no wonder that she would do so. As the victim, the Wulanala clan, after listening to Chen Fu's introduction, recalled what Yu Lin's behavior had done today, his face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice.

"Honghui, what do you think!" The fourth master wanted to let Honghui contact the trivial matters in the house, so naturally he would not hide it, reached out and handed the booklet to Honghui's eyes, and said softly.

The fourth master didn't forget the Wulanala clan sitting beside him, and reached out to shake the Wulanala clan's hand, "This matter, Lan Qin, you still don't rush to conclusions, let's listen to what Honghui has to say first." ”

Honghui flipped through the booklet in his hand, twisted his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Amma, according to my son, this is not a good kind for the Lin family."

According to the information collected by Gonggong Chen, this Yu Lin is just the head lady of Wangjiazhuang in Daxing County, and for some reason she was transferred to the house to serve in the eyes of Li Fangfujin.

After all, the Zhuangzi near this Wangjiazhuang is a Zhuangzi who provides fresh vegetables for the house, and the house is on the Zhuangzi, and there is no other courtyard, I'm afraid that even Ama hasn't been to it a few times, so how did Li Fang Fujin know this Yu Lin clan!" After speaking, Honghui glanced at the faces of the Wulanala clan and the fourth master with some unconfidence.

"You see it well, so the master said that this is not easy for the Lin family.

Even if a sophisticated person like Chen Fu interrogated her, she could still seize the side that was beneficial to herself, if it weren't for her suspicious origin, I was afraid that she would be so confused.

Compared with Yu Lin's family, Yu Erdong's head is much more normal.

Although the things explained are also true and false, they are in line with people's instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and Lai Batou, who acts as a kidnapper, has not heard from him at all so far, and it is estimated that he has been killed.

But even so, this Lai Batou still contributed a clue.

The silver that was rewarded to his subordinates before, although it seemed to be in average condition, and it was deliberately stained with a lot of stains, but after Zhang Bao re-melted it, it was found that the fineness was extremely high, and it should be a serious official silver.

According to Lai Batou's subordinates, Lai Batou received a reward of twenty taels, which is a large amount for ordinary people, but if it is a rich businessman, it should not need to use the silver in the treasury, so the person who bought Lai Batou must be a person under the hands of an official, otherwise there is no need to deliberately make the silver old.

In addition, Zhang Bao went to investigate the contacts of Yu Lin's family, and it is basically certain that one of my brothers set up a poisonous plan.

According to my guess, the most likely ones are the third and eighth.

As for which brother it is, it will take a few more days to investigate. Seeing this, the fourth master first nodded, affirmed Honghui's statement, and then explained softly to the confused Erfu and Ulanala clan.

As for why the suspects were locked on the third prince Yinzhi and the eighth prince Yinzhi, the fourth master did not explain this to them, and Erfu did not ask much, she only cares about one thing now, that is, who are the parents of these little guys, and have they found clues about who the parents of the little ones are.

After all, if someone loses their child, the parents will definitely die in a hurry.

In this regard, although the fourth master had already gotten the news, he did not tell Erfu.

First, the fourth master felt that if Erfu knew the news, he would definitely be in a hurry to let him send the two children back, and missed some trivial clues.

Second, he also wanted to examine from the side whether his square and round father could be used by him, he was now short of people, if he could receive someone who was both capable and loyal to do things for him, it would be a blessing in disguise.

The third is that he thinks that Hongxuan and Xiao Qi do need a playmate at their age, and Fang Fang and Yuanyuan are the most suitable candidates in terms of age and tutoring, so the fourth master wants to let the two little guys be familiar with Hongxuan and Xiao Qi first, so as not to wait for the father of the little guy to become his subordinates in the future.

"This capital is so big, it's really not easy to find someone.

Although the master has asked Shuntian Mansion Yin to help find it, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a few days, and it will be hard for you these days, so I will take care of Fang Fang and Yuanyuan first. The fourth master, who had made up his mind, made a helpless expression, spread his hands, and said in a deep voice.

"There's no way around that.

Actually, I like to be square and round, and it is just right for me to keep them around for a few more days.

I'm afraid that the square and round parents will never find their children and return to their hometowns.

After all, they are not locals, and even if they come to give a New Year's gift to their brother's family, they can't stay in the capital forever!" Erfu sighed first, then showed a wry smile and said softly.

"That's just going to have to be the way it is. The fourth master followed Erfu's meaning and seemed to be very helpless, but he smiled in his heart.

Although, the fourth master thought of the benefits of leaving these two children, but he was also afraid that Erfu didn't like Fang Fang and Yuanyuan, and would not agree to let Fang Fang and Yuanyuan follow Hongxuan and Xiaoqi, with Erfu's words, his heart was like a big stone falling to the ground, so although he tried very hard to make a helpless expression, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but fly up, which looked very strange.

didn't get the news he wanted, Erfu's emotions suddenly reached the lowest end, and he couldn't sit still, as soon as the fourth master's voice fell, he stood up suddenly, bowed down and said: "It's not too early, and the concubine won't stay much, so I will leave first." ”
