On the artificial lake, there are a number of floating platforms of different sizes as a stage, the bottom of which is all made of fine multicolored glass, which supports the dancers to dance on it by the buoyancy of the water surface, and is surrounded by translucent soft veils to show a sense of ethereal tranquility, comparable to the heavenly palace.

However, the glass is very brittle, and there are slight waves floating on the water surface, and all the dancers who perform on stage, even those who are accustomed to seeing big scenes and serving nobles, do not dare to be careless at this time.

Originally, Erf just wanted to make these old men who were accustomed to seeing the stage with carved mahogany railings and painted beams feel new.

But at this time, all the dancers must be on the stage with their breath, the more light and ethereal the movements, the better, with the performance costume of the long skirt of the palace yarn, but the song and dance originally conceived by Erfu based on the song and dance performed by the fairy of the heavenly palace are a little closer, showing the ethereal state to the fullest, and it can be regarded as unintentionally inserting willows and willows.

Erfu's soft sedan chair stopped under the bridge, she looked at the lake that was brightened as bright as day by the lights, looked at the light effect formed by the shining candlelight reflected by the bronze mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and said softly: "The dancers who perform on stage today are all rewarded." ”

"Do as your master commands. Yaoqin hurriedly bowed down and answered, and then sent a little palace maid to send a message to Hao Lin, the host and Zhang Luo's steward in the preparation area on the other side.

As for how much silver to reward and where the silver came from, Yaoqin said that she didn't know, anyway, she would never let her master give this silver for the fourth master from her own small treasury.

Who told the fourth master to punish his master like that. There is still a big bruise on the face of his master, but he feels sorry for them as slaves.

This time, it is also thanks to the fat powder prepared by the guzheng that the masking effect is good. Otherwise, the face of his master will be lost at this lantern feast.

As a good palace maid who is loyal to her master and solves problems for her master, although she has to persuade her master to understand all the actions of the fourth master, even if she is wronged, she must endure it, but she doesn't mind venting her anger for her master!

Yes, that's it!

Erfu, who was walking in front, didn't know Yaoqin's thoughts. But even if she knew, she would never object, who made the fourth master bulge now!

She saw the list of gifts from the visitors. Although these gifts cannot be sold for silver, they can save a lot of money at once when they go to the prefectures on weekdays. In order to let the fourth master maintain the virtue of diligence and thrift at all times. In order to let the fourth master have a sense of responsibility as a man to support the family, she said that she would help the fourth master spend more money to go out, so that he can continue to improve!

Of course, these are all things that Erfu thinks about in her heart, and if she is asked to buy some precious jewelry and luxury dresses with a large sum of silver, she is really reluctant!

Well, she's just a little jasper. It is impossible to have those famous ladies in this life!

Erfu walked lightly and gracefully towards the Xuan Pavilion, but the speed was not slow at all. As soon as he stepped on the white marble steps and walked a few steps, he saw a figure not far in front of him - it was the noble concubine Tong Jiashi who was wearing an ink-colored mink fur.

Since she wants to play the play seriously, she naturally wants to show her dissatisfaction with Concubine Tong Jia, so she is still walking so unhurriedly, and she did not catch up with Concubine Tong Jia to go to Xuanting together, but she seemed to be obsessed with the singing and dancing on the lake, and her speed decreased by a few points, only the corner of her eyes kept staring at Concubine Tong Jia, who was also slowing down in front of her.

Just as Erfu was silently praising her superb acting skills in her heart, a woman dressed as a grandmother ran down from the bridge, which turned out to be a newly combed grandmother next to Concubine Tong Jia.

When she was in the palace on weekdays, she had always been in charge of serving under the corridor, but now she was in charge of passing the word, and she said that she felt that her mother was extremely dissatisfied with this side Fujin.

As a good mother who is anxious about the master's urgency, she naturally won't give Erfu a good face, it seems that she hurriedly ran to Erfu, but in fact, she stopped at a position that was three or five steps away from Erfu, squatted with a smile on her face, and said in a salute, before Erfu screamed, she raised her head and looked at people with her chin and said loudly: "Guerjia Fujin is auspicious, our mother please go over!"

"I know!" Looking at the condescending grandmother in front of her, Erfu looked displeased, and glanced at the noble concubine Tong Jiashi who was standing not far from the Xuan Pavilion with dissatisfaction in her eyes, and replied softly.

Although Erfu's dissatisfaction in the blink of an eye quickly subsided, it was still looked at by some well-intentioned people, including Guo Luoluo, who had been paying attention to the movements here.

Erfu seemed to be aggrieved and tightly pursed her lips, and her neat teeth left a white and bloody crescent-shaped mark on the lip flap with lip grease, and her jade hand trembled a little and gently lifted the hem of her robe and came to Concubine Tong Jia step by step, and she was aggrieved, but she had to abide by the rules, and she knew the image of the angry little daughter-in-law, which was vividly expressed in the eyes of those people in the Xuan Pavilion.

For a while, the people in the pavilion who were familiar with the personalities of the two had all kinds of speculations in their hearts.

For example, the Ulanara clan, who is familiar with Erfu, is silently praising Erfu, and she has already told Concubine De Niangniang everything, which can be regarded as very calm.

And the little seven children's shoes who understand their own E-Niang's rudeness and habits regardless of the sky and the earth, tilted their heads a little ignorantly, saying that they really didn't understand which play their E-Niang was singing today, and at the same time did not forget to look at the father who was sitting in the middle of the Xuan Pavilion and talking to the old man Kangxi and Hongxuan, who was only less than a year younger than her, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.

As for the old man Kangxi, who hadn't noticed the movement outside before, when he saw Erfu's forbearance of grievances and Concubine Tong Jia's pretended to be sympathetic, but in fact it was difficult, he was already frowning.

Although he doesn't know Erfu, he has a good eye for people, and this woman has been in the palace for most of his life. knows very well the little abacus in the hearts of those little women who seem to be useless, and according to his understanding of Concubine Tong Jia, these two people are not particularly angry. It's definitely not going to be like this, so he also said that he couldn't understand it.

"Guarjia Fujin's body, it's really not good, such a short journey, it's actually taken such a long time, but you should let the imperial doctor prescribe a few sets of prescriptions for you to take care of. Concubine Tong Jia deliberately stopped and made Erfu uncomfortable following behind, but she said very concerned words in her mouth. Even his eyes were full of distress, as if he was worried about Erfu's sweaty little body so well.

As for why Concubine Tong Jia stopped and made Erfu uncomfortable after her, there is naturally a saying.

As a junior and junior, Erfu must be one step behind Concubine Tong Jia. She can't be too far away, so it will seem that she doesn't understand the rules and etiquette, so she who is closely behind Concubine Tong Jia must always look down at the steps under her feet. And you can't ignore the look at the person who turned back to speak. Between the responses, it is very difficult, between the two powers, she has to take a step back from time to time, or catch up with a step, if she is not still young, this leg and foot are also flexible, I am afraid that she would have fallen from the steps into a rolling gourd.

Look at the pavilion that is already close at hand. Looking at Concubine Tong Jia, who deliberately stopped, Erfu wanted to cry and looked at the fourth master who was also paying attention to the movement in the distance. Flattened his mouth aggrievedly.

"Guerjia Fujin doesn't seem to like to talk much, but he thinks the palace is too nagging?" Concubine Tong Jia did not neglect Erfu's pitiful little eyes, a trace of fierceness crossed her eyes, and she leaned on the handrail railing on the bridge with a helpless smile, and asked softly.

Niangniang said seriously, and the concubine was just worried that Niangniang was blown by the wind. Erf replied with a look of sincerity on her face, and bowed down with worried eyes.

The bridge is much higher than the water, and the left and right sides are completely unobstructed, and the wind is naturally stronger than that on the flat ground, and it is mixed with the water vapor on the surface of the lake, which is somewhat similar to the wet and cold air in the south, so Erf's words are not rude.

"Since I was a child, this palace has been going to and from the border many times with the elders in the family, and this little wind is nothing. Concubine Tong Jia nodded with a smile, as if fearlessly handed over the fox skin sleeve in her arms to the palace maid standing beside her, stretched out her arms, and hugged the north wind, and said loudly, "I think that when I was outside the gate, every winter, the sky was full of snow, and the snow was over all night, and even the door of the courtyard was not easy to open...... How beautiful it was, if I could look at the snow and ice frolic again in my lifetime!

Now that I think about it, I really miss it. Speaking of this, Concubine Tong Jia's face was full of remembrance, and her eyes flashed with water, she seemed to be moved by her true feelings, and she really missed the land.

The unique beauty of the Northland is not only the thought of Concubine Tong Jia, but also the thought of Erfu.

Although it also snows in the capital, there is also winter, but it is far less spectacular than the black land, as a child living in the birthplace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, she grew up listening to the stories told by her ancestors, and now she has left all her relatives and friends, and it is difficult to meet in this life, and the land outside the gate is all her memories.

That's what people look like.

No matter where you are, no matter where you are...... During the New Year's holidays, I always can't help but miss my hometown, and when Concubine Tong Jia mentioned the scenery of that land, Erfu's eyes were also a little swollen.

Erfu, who missed her hometown, was a little distracted, and Concubine Tong Jia, who recalled her hometown, was also a little distracted, and she didn't even notice that the old man Kangxi, who had been enjoying the singing and dancing in the Xuan Pavilion, had already led several sons to them.

The old man Kangxi was born in the Forbidden City, although he had heard those old clansmen talk about the beautiful scenery in the winter outside the Guan, but he had never seen it, after all, it was too cold over there, and he was busy with government affairs as a young man, and he had no time to doppelgänger.

He also mentioned that he wanted to go to the gate in winter, but those courtiers could always come up with all kinds of reasons to oppose it, but this old man Kangxi was not a person who came by temperament, so he gave up this idea, this time I heard Tong Jia Guifei talk about it, and this thought became active again, "I really want to go back and see if I have a chance!"

"What Huang Ama said is that Erchen once took the opportunity to go on an errand, and the snowflakes covered the streets, and at a glance, there was a silver-white world everywhere, which was so beautiful that it was as if it was painted!"

He is not talking nonsense, his business houses are really connected to the north and the south.

The foreign companies in the south, the cargo fleet outside the customs, the camel fleet in the west, and the ship fleet in the east...... There is nothing in this world that he does not mix.

Outside the Guan, Changbai Mountain, which has always been regarded as the land of dragon prosperity by the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, contains countless treasures, whether it is wild ginseng that can save people's lives, or delicious flying dragon meat, or walnuts, hazelnuts and all kinds of delicious mushroom plants all over the mountain, all of which are the favorites of the world's powerful and wealthy businessmen.

Especially those skins that are both beautiful and warm, they are the favorite of all rich and powerful people, that is, the palace internal affairs office has to purchase a lot from him every year.

As the big owner of the trading house, he naturally ran over there.

The quality of the skins in winter is much better than that in summer and spring, and he also loves hunting, so he often follows the caravan that collects skins outside the customs to the mountains, bringing more than a dozen guards, to a real knife and gun hunt, even the fierce king of the mountains - Siberian tiger, he has hunted two.

To this day, on the throne in the study of his house, there is still a white tiger skin that is complete from head to end and without the slightest injury.

He had received it from the house of an old hunter who lived far away in the mountains.

The tiger skin is twice the size of an ordinary Siberian tiger, according to the son of the Orion who sold him the skin, a hunter of the old generation was born with divine power, good use of a strong bow, one day in the mountains encountered a black and white tiger, the tiger is majestic, the word "king" on the forehead is shining in the sun, looking at some doorways.

The hunter, who was born with divine powers, shot an arrow made of iron through the left eye of the tiger's head with a strong bow, killing him with one blow, without the slightest sign of struggle, and asked for the help of a veteran of making skins, so that he could get such an intact fur.

Every time I think of this, Lao Jiu always has a feeling of seeing a baby.

This thing, he has been spread on the throne of the study, but he never dared to let outsiders see it, that is, he has always been like a conjoined person The old ten have no chance to see it, quite a bit of a brocade night walking feeling, just to give it to the old man Kangxi who is getting older and older one day.

So among the people present, when I heard the old man Kangxi mention that he wanted to walk outside the gate in winter, he was the happiest person.

In his opinion, this old man Kangxi is still ambitious and full of ambitions, and he just uses this thing to please the old man, so he can't wait for the old man Kangxi to get up and go outside the gate tomorrow!

"I heard that in the Ninth Brother's Mansion, there is a white tiger skin with both ends and ends, which is something found from the mountains outside the Guan, if it can be made into a mattress for Huang Ama, Huang Ama will not have to worry about the uncomfortable problem on his legs!"

This somewhat playful voice suddenly appeared, which directly made Lao Jiu's face change and change, a pair of phoenix eyes were upside down, staring at the third prince Prince Cheng with smiling eyes, and he looked like he wanted to swallow the talking Prince Cheng into his stomach!

It turned out that when Lao Jiu was distracted, Concubine Tong Jia mentioned the sequelae caused by the injury of the old man Kangxi's earlier royal drive - the problem of not being able to get cold on his legs, and the old Sancheng Prince Yinzhi, who had always squatted behind everyone like a poisonous snake, couldn't wait to contribute this newly learned news, and poked Lao Jiu's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys fiercely, so that Lao Jiu's hatred index for the fourth master was instantly transferred to himself.

And the planner of this matter, that is naturally the fourth master Yinzhen who got the news before that the eighth was going to arrange someone to frame him for rebellion and disobedience, he already knew that Lao Jiu had such a thing in his hands, but he never took this matter to heart, and it was not until today that it was faintly transmitted to the mouth of the third child through a few people, making the third child a cannon fodder for him to share the firepower.

Erfu, who also knew the news, secretly gave a thumbs up to the little four children's shoes.
