Chapter 798
After sending Hongxiu away, Mrs. Tan sat back at the table in front of Changji and opened the food box. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the delicate food box with red carved auspicious cloud pattern, in the octagonal gold-painted box, there are four small snacks placed in the shape of a pagoda, the amount is not much, but it is exquisitely made, and the size is no more than a wine cup.
This kind of food, in the Fourth Master's Mansion, is not very exquisite.
However, for a gatekeeper, Mrs. Tan rarely has the opportunity to eat, even if she is on an errand with Erfu, a master who is more generous, even so, she just tasted a piece of hibiscus cake and put the box into the cabinet, thinking that she would take it back to the children at home to taste after two days.
If this had been done before, even if Erf had known, he would have laughed and forgotten.
Now, it can only be said that Mrs. Tan is in a hurry.
Yaoqin, who works as a cook in the small kitchen under the pseudonym Liu, got rid of the complicated chores around Erfu, and in addition to helping Xiaoshengzi prepare three meals a day every day, most of the time is very leisurely, and she soon learned about Mrs. Tan's practice from the little palace maid who does sprinkling.
If you want to say what kind of slave the master hates the most, it is natural that he likes to make his own decisions.
She listened to the conversation of the little palace maids who cleaned the snow in the courtyard, silently kept this matter in her heart, found a gap, and told the news to the girl who came to the small kitchen to pass the food, she still went up, but she didn't take it too seriously, after all, in her opinion, even if Mrs. Tan's approach was a little inappropriate, and her own master has always been kind, and she won't care too much about it, so she will do whatever she wants.
It's just that she didn't expect that Erfu would get serious about it.
She smiled and flicked the bracelet on her wrist with red gold skeins inlaid with lotus seeds and rice-sized rubies, and instructed the maid to help her change into the clothes she had gone out, wrapped in a cloak of light purple silver silk embroidered with rolling hair, and then pretended to walk to the front yard casually.
The west courtyard is a square three-entry courtyard.
Erfu walked along the path paved with big bluestone, passed through the hall, and went out in a soft sedan chair.
Hitting Erfu's stomach became more and more obvious, and the fourth master didn't agree with Erfu going out, especially after such a snowy day, the weather was cold, the road was slippery and difficult to walk, for fear that she would have any accidents, Ya'er held the sedan chair, and followed the soft sedan chair with some fears, looking at Erfu who lifted the sedan curtain and looked out, and asked softly with worry: "Master, where are you going to go?"
"There's a new sister in the house, I'll go over and take a look. Erff replied casually.
"Master, aren't you the most impatient to deal with other ladies in the house!"
"Ahem, ahem......
You know this yourself, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside. Erfu was a little uncomfortable with Ya'er's directness, she smiled and waved her hand, beckoned Ya'er to step forward, and whispered softly, she didn't want Ya'er to inadvertently get into trouble and be accused of disrespecting her master.
"The slave knows. The girl replied with a scared face.
"Okay, it's cold, don't follow with the sedan chair. As she spoke, Erf handed over the hand stove beside her to Ya'er, so as not to freeze the girl who had grown up in the south since she was a child, and after living in the village with her for a while, Ya'er became more and more unrestrained in her temperament, and finally had the innocence and liveliness of a girl.
"The slave is not cold, this is still the master holding the hand warmer. ”
"Let you take it, there is a stove in the soft car, and I am not cold at all. Erf said with a nonchalant smile.
The maid no longer shirked, after all, there were a lot of palace maids on the road, so that others could see it, and thought that there was something terrible, maybe there would be some strange rumors, she smiled and put the hand stove into the sleeve of the muslin cotton, and said coincidentally: "The slave maid will hold it for the master for a while." ”
"Well, then you can hold it well. ”
While laughing, Erfu had already come to the Wushuang Pavilion in a soft sedan chair.
This is the first time she walked into the garden after Li Hezhu entered the house, looking at the two-story viewing building with distinct colors covered by silver snow, she smiled and helped the girl's wrist to get off the sedan chair, greeted the palace maid who was waiting under the corridor, and said loudly: "Your side of Fujin can be idle, I saw that the weather is good today, and I came to talk to her!"
The two little palace maids glanced at each other, one greeted them, and the other went in to pass them on.
Erfu pretended not to see it, raised her hand to avoid the little palace maid who came forward to greet her, let her delay the time and say the same flattering words, smiled and hummed and agreed, and said secretly: This Li Hezhu is worthy of the identity of the emperor of the Korean State, and she is really a pomp and circumstance, if it weren't for the fact that Wushuang Pavilion doesn't have a warm pavilion and a partial room for visiting guests to rest, I'm afraid she will be welcomed in to drink tea at this time.
After a while, Li Hezhu, who didn't have time to redress, greeted her.
"It turned out to be Sister Guerjia, please sit inside. As she spoke, she raised her arm and politely let Erfu into the Wushuang Pavilion, "Why does my sister have to come here to talk to my sister today, if you have anything to order, just send someone over and give an order." ”
She felt a toothache as she looked at the slightly bulging lower abdomen under Erf's cloak.
With such a big belly, isn't it good to stay honestly in your own yard to have a baby, why do you have to run around, and most importantly, how to run to Wushuang Pavilion, if Erfu goes back and says that she has a back ache and a stomachache, she is in front of the fourth master, and she has to complain, she is really tired of being a crooked person, Li Hezhu, who forced a smile, was very enthusiastic and greeted the palace maid to serve refreshments, but her heart was full of disgust and complained again and again.
"That's really polite to you, I didn't look at the sunny weather, thinking that the scenery in the garden was good, so I came to my sister to have a good time. Erfu pretended not to see Li Hezhu's vigilance in his eyes and smiled, raised his eyes to look around at the Wushuang Pavilion that had undergone great changes, sat down with his waist bent, looked like a gossip, and said softly, "But I haven't been here for some days, my sister has changed a lot here, and it looks very different from before!"
As she spoke, she pointed to the official hat chair under her as if she had meant something.
When Li Hezhu heard this, she smiled shyly, seemed to be a little shy and held the broken hair around her ear, and replied softly: "Actually, my sister has always liked your country's home furnishings, and it just so happened that a few days ago, when my sister counted the warehouse, she found this set of yellow rosewood furniture, so she asked Chang Fujin to dial it over, and it was also a loss to rearrange it earlier, otherwise my sister came over, and my sister is really not good at entertaining my sister, after all, my sister is a little heavy now." ”
After saying that, she drew an arc in front of her exaggeratedly, pursed her lips and smiled.
"My sister is really careful. Erf looked at the faint three-sided coaming and lacquered bed in the inner room blocked by the silk screen, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she pouted a little sourly.
She won't say that she is a bad suspect, because the fourth master is not used to sitting on the ground and sleeping on the floor, so Li Hezhu changed the home furnishings again, don't think that she has not been here and does not know that Li Hezhu rarely lives in this inner room downstairs, but has been living in the inner room upstairs, and even takes care of the trivial things in the house, she also sees the housekeeper in the small reception room upstairs, which is arranged according to the customs and habits of the Korean country.
If Li Hezhu really likes these delicate furniture furnishings with thick materials and exquisite materials, how can she rarely stay downstairs in the warm downstairs where the earth dragon is burning, but lives upstairs, the heating system of this Wushuang Pavilion is not a new two-story embroidery building in her west courtyard, the upstairs is all heated by the smoke cage and charcoal stove in the room, and the windows are pasted with Korean paper, and the heat preservation is not very good.
Isn't this my own intention to find sin?
Li Hezhu did not miss the disdain that flashed in Erfu's eyes, but she didn't think so, she lived in the palace as a child, she knew far better than Erfu how these powerful women should live, but they should cling to men, as long as they could make the fourth master pamper her, not to mention that she wanted to change her own living habits, even if she was asked to pretend to be like other women, she would definitely not hesitate.
Although she is now taking care of the middle feed in the house, those palace maids and servants dare not underestimate her, but her own family knows her own family affairs, and since she entered the mansion, the fourth master has not been too alienated from her, and often comes to talk to her, but he has never had a round room with her.
She still hasn't forgotten that day, it was the first time since she entered the house, the fourth master came to accompany her for dinner, she was very proud to order the married cook to prepare a table of Korean style food, but the fourth master barely ate two bites and put down the chopsticks, and then there was no more, but she still clearly saw the disgusted eyes of the fourth master when he crossed the inner room.
Later, she changed the furnishings of the Wushuang Pavilion.
High bed with soft pillows, corner chairs...... Everything has changed style.
It's just that she is still not very suitable for such furniture furnishings, so she rearranged the upstairs, thinking that she lived in the upstairs room when she was a child, if the fourth master came, she would be favored downstairs, but it had been some time since the furniture was replaced, but she had not waited for the fourth master to come and live, this favored side Fujin came, she really regretted how she didn't know how to offend this Guarjia clan so unknowingly, maybe she should be more restrained at that time, if she was not so blind and arrogant, she would not be treated so coldly by the fourth master。
It's really to blame, and it's her hapless half-brother.
If it weren't for the wrong concept instilled in her by her unlucky brother, thinking that the fourth master was begging her to marry, she would not have been confused with the fourth master, let alone offended the side Fujin of the Guerjia clan before entering the mansion.
Call...... Pressing down on the messy thoughts in her heart, Li Hezhu smiled more modestly.
"Why didn't you see my sister's trial marriage Gege coming over?" Erfu didn't know Li Hezhu's mental journey, let alone that she was a virgin until now, she smiled and took the tea bowl and dipped her lips, and said casually.
"You mean Lu Gege, she is soft and cowardly, and she is afraid of the cold, it is estimated that she is doing needlework in the room at this time, but my sister wants to meet her! Huizhu, you go over and take a look, if it is convenient for Lu Gege, please ask Lu Gege to come and talk. Although Li Hezhu didn't know why Erfu suddenly mentioned the Lu family, she didn't add up much, so she asked the palace maid to invite someone.
Don't look at Erfu doesn't know those ancient customs of North Korea, but she can't stand her in modern times, she also watched a lot of Korean dramas with her roommate, and she has some understanding of Korean/country/people's surnames, and suddenly when she heard the surname Lu, she felt a little strange, "Her surname is Lu, it doesn't sound like the surname of North Korea!"
"She is not from my country, but from Liaodong in your country.
It's also a coincidence, my sister came to worship the emperor of the Qing Dynasty with her brother, and when she passed by Liaodong Mansion, she saw her selling herself to bury her father, so she took her by her side. Speaking of the Lu family, Li Hezhu smiled lightly and said softly.
This lady is married, and the maids to marry are carefully selected.
In her opinion, even if the rules of the Korean country may not be as particular as the Central Plains, but Li Hezhu is a dignified princess of the Korean country, and her trial marriage should be selected from the Korean country, not a little girl who was bought casually from the roadside.
Although she was puzzled, her face was not incomprehensible, she smiled and gossiped with Li Hezhu, from clothes and jewelry to lyrics and songs, but there was no cold scene, and after a tea time or so, she finally saw this Lu, only to see that Lu was wearing a light cyan embroidered white small floral flag, a small two heads, a jade hairpin carved plum hairpin, no pink on the face, standing on the ground pretty, bending the knees in a proper manner, it was really as elegant and refined as the empty valley orchid, such a girl was picked up by Li Hezhu from the street, and there was really a feeling of finding a treasure。
Erfu smiled and took off the jasper bracelet on her wrist, "The first time I saw my sister, I didn't have any preparations, this bracelet is not bad, so I will give it to my sister as a meeting gift." ”
As she spoke, she handed the jasper bracelet to Ya'er and motioned for her to send it to Lu.
The Lu family saluted again, and then retreated to the side in an orderly manner, standing behind Li Hezhu, serving carefully like a palace maid, obedient as a kitten.
Erfu looked at Lu Shi quietly, and always felt that Lu Shi gave her a very strange and familiar feeling, looking at her style, she was even more unconsciously associated with the vicious female partner in the novel, but she couldn't say what was wrong with her, "Look at what a beauty, my sister is so blessed, in fact, I came here, in addition to wanting to talk to my sister, I also want to thank Lu Gege for the small snacks I sent me, the taste is really good!"
"The concubine was frightened, but in fact, it was also sent by Fang Fujin to the concubine. Lu's face turned red, and he looked at Li Hezhu with some fear, and hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand nervously to explain.
