Chapter 576: The Tip of the Iceberg
Chapter 576
Seeing that Dai Shi was slightly stunned, Xiao Qi's face became a little weird, as if he was smiling but not smiling, with a bit of charm of the fourth master, he no longer cared whether his behavior was rude, and asked in a somewhat impatient tone: "Sir, are you just punishing me for this homework?"
"Yes, did you do this homework?" Dai Shi's voice was a little higher, and he asked rhetorically, but he quickly realized the meaning of Xiao Qi's unnamed words, took those few big characters that were not much better than dog crawling characters, smiled coldly, and called Xiao Qi to go to the west courtyard separated from the courtyard by a wall.

It's her carelessness as a gentleman.
Looking at Xiao Qi's expression, this is clearly not the homework she handed in, and although Xiao Qi was a little naughty before, and sometimes showed a little unconvinced look, he was also a good student who respected his teacher, and suddenly contradicted her, and even questioned her, and finally stole out the out-of-print book that she saw as precious as her life, which was obviously unreasonable, but at that time she ignored this because of some people's specious words......
Thinking of this, she held Xiao Qi's hand and clenched it a little tighter, but the steps under her feet slowed down, only faster than the usual speed, if you are not familiar with her, you will definitely not notice it.
Xiao Qi didn't understand Dai's transformation at first, but he was very smart, and he quickly understood, and then he also learned from Dai's appearance, took small steps, and as he walked, he raised his head as if he was talking to others and said: "Sir, Eniang has already punished me, don't be angry." β
What is it a child, looking at Xiao Qi's pretending to cover up, Dai thought so.
"Fang Fujin punished you for copying books because of your mother's concern for your daughter, but Mr. will not cover up your mistakes, since you have resentment, and you also admit that you did wrong before, then you don't ask for forgiveness, and if you make mistakes, you won't be punished, so what rules are there to speak of?" Dai said softly as he walked.
Dai's voice is very soft, and the speed of speech is very fast, except for Xiao Qi, who has been following her side, even if someone passes by her, she may not be able to hear it clearly, and what she hears is only a few words, but it is far more credible than Xiao Qi's deliberate words to others, especially everyone likes to add their own opinions to one thing, and the communication of just a few words can make everyone who hears it come up with a different statement, so that it is easier to confuse the public.
She believes that since someone has reached Xiao Qi's side, she will not just do such a prank-like little action, and think about what other plans are being implemented behind it, since this is the case, then there will be that person's eyeliner by Xiao Qi's side, only by pretending not to find the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes, that person will continue according to the plan with peace of mind, she is different from Guargarf, she does not agree with the side Fujin's life of doing nothing, keeping to herself, and being at peace with what happens.
Although Dai, who once had the opportunity to become the wife of Bamboo Horse, did not like Erfu in the concubine room, she really admired Erfu, so she didn't mind helping Erfu, especially when someone reached out to her student's side, which made her very dissatisfied.
In her opinion, house fighting is a game for adults, and it should never involve innocent children, especially before the child has done anything to hurt others.
There is a wall between the courtyard and the west courtyard, and the moon cave door is opened, so the two of them are not allowed to say more, Dai and Xiao Qi have already bypassed the moon cave door and came to the corridor of the upper room of the west courtyard.
Mr. Dai, why are you here now?"
"There are some things to see Fang Fujin, is it convenient for Fang Fujin at this time?" Dai Shi smiled slightly, also gave a shallow salute, and said softly, that look like she couldn't see that her heart was already full of anger like an erupting volcano.
Yaoqin looked back at the guzheng in the hall, and when she saw that the guzheng shook her head anxiously, she smiled a little embarrassed, and said: "Fang Fujin is still resting, why don't you ask Si Gege and Mr. Dai to go back first, and after Fang Fujin gets up, I will invite the two of you to come over!"
"Speaking of which, I came here at the wrong time, and I was a little reckless, but this matter is a little urgent!" If it was ordinary, Dai would naturally leave with a smile, and come back when Erfu was rested, not far from the left and right, a matter of a few steps, but this time, she said that she needed to see Fang Fujin immediately.
At the beginning, she didn't think that Xiao Qi was a big deal when she was transferred to schoolwork, but along the way, it was enough for her to sort out the thoughts in her mind and connect the events of the past two days.
If it was as she speculated, first Xiao Qi was designed to change her homework, but she was punished, and angrily burned the out-of-print book of the Song Dynasty that she regarded as important as her life, and then there was a nurse who was still in swaddling Xiao Gege suddenly ran out of milk, if one thing was accidental, then the two things could also be a coincidence, but she saw Brother Hongxuan personally send dim sum to the side room last afternoon, and then mixed it in, then it can only be said that this is a big game of chess.
This speculation is not that she wants to mix these things together, but that there is a certain degree of implication, such as she punished Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi burned the out-of-print books of the Song Dynasty that she cherished, which can be explained by Xiao Qi's extreme revenge at a young age, and in this matter, Brother Hongxuan himself was involved in it, so the black hand behind the scenes, it can be said that the two children coincide, and they are extremely thoughtful and hateful.
In addition to this incident, coupled with the fact that she saw Hongxuan sending food to the wing, it was linked to the fact that Mama Jin ran out of milk this morning, and finally added a few jokes that Erfu had told as circumstantial evidence - it was Hongxuan's child who actually ate Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er's vinegar, and often made some strange moves when she went to see Jiu'er and Xiao Jiu to attract her attention.
If all these things are added together, I am afraid that there will be terrible consequences.
"This ...... What is the matter with Mr. Dai, do you have to see Fang Fujin now?" Although Yaoqin knew that Erfu valued this female gentleman a lot, in her mind, it was more important for her master to rest, so when she saw that Dai refused to leave, she was a little unhappy, and this tone naturally brought it out.
Fortunately, Dai didn't care about this, and only glanced at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi nodded understandingly, took a step forward, stood at Dai's side, twisted his eyebrows, flattened his mouth, and stared at a pair of apricot eyes very innocently, a pitiful appearance that had suffered a lot of grievances, pinched the corners of his clothes, and said in a low voice: "Mr. said that my son can't be taught, and this time I came to ask Eniang to resign!"
"What??" Yaoqin had the illusion that she didn't know if Xiao Qi was wrong, or if she heard it wrong, she whispered in disbelief, hurriedly raised her hand to greet the guzheng, and invited Dai to sit down in the east wing to drink tea.
To tell the truth, as early as when Dai and Xiao Qi came over and talked to Yaoqin, Erfu woke up hazy, but she was too tired, so she didn't make a sound, insisted on rolling on the bed with the quilt, as if she wanted to stay with the quilt like this, and didn't want to get up to see Dai, but at this time, seeing Yaoqin as if the sky was falling, leading Xiao Qi into the door, even if she was too lazy to get up, she had to sit up, while holding the bun that rolled into a bird's nest, she raised her hand and beckoned Xiao Qi to come forward, facing Yaoqin, who was a little helpless, with a hint of sleepiness and a lazy mute in her voice: "Look at the two of you like this, why is the sky falling, or is the earth sinking?"
Yaoqin's hesitant appearance made Erfu's heart feel a little uneasy.
"Yes, Mr. Dai wants to see you, and the slave didn't dare to quarrel with you when she saw that you were sleeping soundly!"
Although Erfu vaguely heard the sound of a woman talking to Yaoqin, but she couldn't hear it very clearly, and Yaoqin looked this weird way, so for a while, Erfu really didn't associate this Mr. Dai with the female gentleman who taught Xiaoqi, but remembered the staff member of the fourth master in the front yard, Mr. Dai Duo Dai, and couldn't help but feel even more strange, twisted his eyebrows, and said coldly: " He came to see me, did he say that it was for something, but even if the fourth master is not in the mansion, he should go to see Chang Fujin if he has something, how could he come to me!"
"Master, it's not Mr. Dai, it's the little master's Mr., Mr. Dai, Mr. Dai. After listening to this, Yaoqin was not good, and hurriedly explained, and at the same time repeated what Xiao Qi said at the door.
Hearing Yaoqin say this, Erfu reflected, turned his head to look at Xiao Qi, who bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and said in a low voice: "Didn't Eniang ask you to confess your mistake to Mr., why did you anger Mr. Dai again?"
When Xiao Qi heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, interrupted Erfu's unfinished words, glanced at Yaoqin, and motioned Yaoqin to lead all the palace maids who were waiting in the room out of the door, and then stuck it next to Erfu's ear, and said in a small voice with a barely detectable silver volume: "It's not like E-Niang thinks, Mr. has something to discuss with E-Niang, and he is afraid of attracting the attention of others, so he will use the excuse of resignation to suddenly come to you." β
Erfu looked at Chengchen who was embroidered and flew together speechlessly, and said in her stomach: She really can't understand Dai and Xiao Qi's practice of covering her ears and stealing the bell, don't they understand that the more they cover up, the more they will attract the attention of others!
The two of them, one is her daughter and the other is her daughter's husband, and they come to her to talk about things, isn't that a very normal thing in itself!
On weekdays, it's not like they never come to her!
What's more, today, she got up early and went to Dai's room to make amends for Xiao Qi, and asked Xiao Qi to confess her mistake to Dai, Dai led Xiao Qi to her for a trip, isn't it a normal process!
"You two are just smart but are mistaken by cleverness!" Although Erfu disagreed with the two of them covering their ears and stealing the bell, they also understood that Dai was so careful that there must be something big to tell her, so he didn't delay much, and called Yaoqin, who had retreated to the door of the hall and waited, to come into the room and wait for her to wash and make up.
Looking at the bronze mirror, there was already a crow's feet on his face, Erfu swallowed his saliva and muttered: "Look, in the blink of an eye, I'll be old!"
When Yaoqin heard this, the movements in her hands did not stop, and while fixing Erfu's long hair with a hosta, she smiled and comforted: "Master, you are still young, which means that you are a girl who has just reached the end of your life, and some people believe it!"
"The person who believes must not have a good look in his eyes. Erff is not so good that she can't tell the truth from the false, just look at her increasingly plump waist to know that she is old, but this kind of good obedience, she still likes to listen, but she likes to like it, she doesn't want the people around her to cover her eyes with lies, so she deliberately put on a straight face and said very seriously.
After speaking, she was even more afraid that Yaoqin would have no memory, so she glared at Yaoqin fiercely, so that Yaoqin didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she was satisfied with the anger on her face, got up from the dressing table with a slight smile, and led Xiao Qi who continued to admit her mistakes, and softly instructed Guzheng and Xiaoman to prepare refreshments, and specially replaced an ancient painting hanging in the second room, and replaced it with Dai's picture of the moonlight on the lotus pond, and then went to the wing room to ask Dai Shi who had resigned under an excuse, and returned to the hall to sit down and talk.
Dai handled things neatly, and did not chew the words as usual, and said what she thought in her heart like a running account, so she sat silently on the circle chair and drank tea, quietly waiting for Erfu to recover from this earth-shattering material, and waited for a long time to have a cup of tea, Erfu blinked his eyes and grinned slightly, "Mr. Dai, you are a learned person, what do you think the person behind the scenes is planning to do, or what is he calculating?"
"Fang Fujin asked knowingly.
As I know, Prince Yong attaches great importance to Brother Hongxuan, and personally invited Mr. Zhang Zhen and Mr. Zhang Qi from Anqiu to enlighten him, which shows that he has a certain idea of the future of Brother Hongxuan, and although this Mr. Zhang Qi is not in the court, but in the Qingliu faction, he has a great reputation, his people are indifferent to fame and fortune, talented, but he attaches great importance to the word filial piety, and his character is very upright and open-mindedγ
Xu is this matter is not a big deal, but Mr. Zhang Qiyuan's reputation in the clear stream is not small, if it is spread by someone with a heart, it will definitely affect other people's impression of Brother Hongxuan, in the long run, even if Prince Yong values Brother Hongxuan, he will always be influenced by some others, and if it is really as I said, this should be the plot of the people behind it. β
Although Erfu is simple-minded, she also understands the importance of a person's reputation, and has heard the fourth master praise Mr. Zhang Qiyuan many times, obviously more sure of this speculation than Dai's, which is why she didn't recklessly call someone in to investigate thoroughly, she knows that her house fighting experience is zero, and her scheming is a negative value, and she definitely can't fight other women in the house, if she suddenly orders Yaoqin to check, I'm afraid that she can't wash away a little bit of Hongxuan's body, but falls into the trap of others, so she can only ask for help from Dai's.
Thinking of this, Erfu's expectant eyes fell on Dai's body.
