Chapter 783: Killing Chickens and Monkeys (3)
Chapter 783
In the west courtyard, Erfu stroked her lower abdomen, sat alone in the east room for a long time, and couldn't persuade herself to ignore the subconscious feeling of vigilance against Lu Gege, and finally stepped into the west room, laid out the letter paper, and began to study ink to write a letter to Bai Jiao. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
For Erf, a rice worm who likes to eat and wait for death, she has improved a lot.
In a few moments, she had written a letter in ciphered script.
Regarding Lu Ziqing, this woman, Erfu can only be described in four words, that is, plain, and her temperament is indescribably outstanding, such as a small jasper, like a chrysanthemum and elegant, a standard goose egg face, not too beautiful, but the advantages are still small and exquisite, belonging to the kind of very attractive appearance, she doesn't like her, it is really an instinct.
But there's nothing wrong with being careful, just ask for peace of mind.
Thinking like this, Erfu reached out and handed the sealed envelope to Ya'er, and explained softly: "Ya'er, you take the time to go to the dazzling shop and bring this letter to Bai Jiao." ”
It's not a hurry, so she didn't urge Ya'er to do it now.
After explaining the girl, Erf rubbed her sore shoulders and walked upstairs.
I thought that I would not be able to return to the house for a while, in order to let Xiao Qi continue to study with Mr. Dai in the village, and in order for Xiao Qi to live a life of ordinary children, she specially set up a school in Fengtai Zhuangzi, but it didn't take long for her to be semi-forced to return to the house, Xiao Qi naturally followed her back, but Mr. Dai really liked the pastoral life and never wanted to come back, so Xiao Qi returned to the house without a female gentleman.
In this era of emphasizing that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, it is really difficult to find a female gentleman.
Although Erfu didn't want to restrain Xiao Qi's temperament, she didn't want to see Xiao Qi play crazy all day long, so she specially instructed Zhao Dezhu to go to Zhuangzi regularly, and trouble Mr. Dai to give Xiao Qi a homework, so as not to let Xiao Qi go crazy before she found a suitable female gentleman to take over.
Erfu went upstairs and saw Xiao Qi lying by the window fiddling with the newly acquired Luban lock.
She pretended not to like the floor and raised her face, waved her hand and sent away the servants who were waiting in the room, walked to the round table and sat down, glanced at Xiao Qi, who came forward to greet her, and asked in a deep voice: "It's not early, have you written the big characters today?"
"E-niang, why are you here now!" Xiao Qi glanced at the sky outside the window that was gradually calming down, and came to Erfu with a little weakness, hugged Erfu's arm flatteringly, and asked with a smile, but her little eyes kept unconsciously piling up the table with gadgets by the window, she really forgot the time, and even forgot to write the big characters, not to mention the homework left by Mr. Dai, she didn't even turn it over.
"Don't you want to fool the past, isn't the big print written again?" said Erph.
Xiao Qi had no choice, so he had to nod with a bitter face.
"You're so playful. Erfu raised her hand and rubbed Xiao Qi's head, and muttered in a low voice, she didn't have to force Xiao Qi to read and learn words, and do these things she hated the most when she was a child, but she really couldn't just watch Xiao Qi play crazy all day long.
After speaking, she took Xiao Qi to the bookcase and stared at her to practice calligraphy.
It's just that before she could finish writing the big characters while staring at Xiao Qi, the fourth master had already come back from outside.
"Go up and stare at Xiao Qi again?" The fourth master, who was standing in front of the washbasin to wash, heard the sound of small footsteps behind him, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a curve, looked back at Erfu, who was pouting and unhappy, and asked softly.
Erph muttered sullenly, "This kid is really crazy. ”
"Now I haven't found a suitable female gentleman, she likes to play, you just let her play freely for a few days, and when the female gentleman is invited, she wants to play, and she can't have fun, you don't have to feel sorry for her studying hard. "The fourth master has been in a bit of a bad mood recently, he always unconsciously reveals a nervous look, and his temper is also a little hot, especially the nagging Xiao Qi, he feels that Erfu has not let go of Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er to leave.
Hearing the fourth master say this, Erfu was even more unhappy.
She looked at the fourth master who spoke easily, glanced at him angrily, turned around and walked out of the clean room, muttered and sat on the Luohan bed by the window, threw away the soft pillow that was in the way around her tempered, grabbed the half-made mille-feuille cloth bottom slippers, and sulked while doing needlework to pass the time.
"Angry again. "The fourth master who has washed up, he raised his forehead.
I don't know if this is because Imperial Doctor Hu said that the mood of a pregnant woman will change somewhat, this change is too big, where did his cute little Nizi go, quickly return the lovely little Nizi to the fourth master, sighed silently, and hurriedly pulled out a light smile and returned to Erfu's side.
The fourth master's strong and warm arm hugged Erfu.
"Don't be upset about these things, tell you something interesting.
Ye heard that outside the Yongding Gate, a new restaurant was opened, different from the ordinary restaurant, there is a warm shed covered with glass, which is planted with a variety of vegetables and fruits, specially for the guests to pick fresh ingredients in the past, and each guest must eat what they must pick by themselves, the restaurant only provides the service of cooking dishes, although this rule is strange, but there are many people who have come to join this lively, it is better to wait for the weather to be good, Ye will accompany you to take a look. ”
I'll go, isn't this the legendary farmhouse!
Could it be that another fellow is coming, what kind of world is this, and what is it to travel through is not so rare...... Don't wait for the fourth master's voice to fall, Erfu's bright little eyes glanced over, she is not a rare ancient version of the farmhouse, she is afraid that she will come here through the country, she does not exist in the history of the side Fujin will be suspected, unconsciously caught in people's calculations, so I want to be prepared, only to see with my own eyes, she can rest assured.
I didn't know what Erfu was thinking about the fourth master, but she was curious, smiled and rubbed the top of Erfu's hair, and made up her mind to take Erfu to Yongding Gate when the weather was clear, maybe if she walked outside, Erfu's mood would be better.
As for security, he wasn't too worried.
Recently, the eighth child's attention has been focused on the rare snow disaster in Jiangnan, and they are thinking about how to take this opportunity to gain a good reputation, and it is estimated that they will not be able to spare their hands to find trouble with him, the fourth brother.
And the ladies in the house, he has also beaten them, thinking that he can stop for a few days.
Erfu didn't know the concerns in the fourth master's heart, she saw that the fourth master took the initiative to mention it, and there was no reason to refuse, so she nodded with a smile, and said in a continuous voice: "Then let's just say it, and wait for the fourth master to go over and play one day." ”
The fourth master reached out and took the handle mirror on the tea table, leaned over to Erfu, pointed to the smiling Erfu in the mirror, and joked softly: "It's good if you're happy, look, you've been frowning for the past two days, and your eyebrows are wrinkled, and if you continue to have such a sad face, when we see Hongxuan again, you're going to become an old woman." ”
"It's good to become an old woman, when the time comes, my eyes will be dizzy, my brain will not be easy to use, and I will not remember anything to worry about. Erfu has not forgotten that the fourth master promised to find a female gentleman for Xiao Qi, and there was no news for half a month, so she showed a smile on her little face, shook off the arms of the fourth master, sat up straight, poked her fingers under the ribs of the fourth master, and complained angrily.
"Who is so unhappy that he actually provoked you. The fourth master smiled and cooperated.
"Who else can it be, did you pay attention to the matter of finding a female gentleman for Xiao Qi, Mr. Dai has been gone for so long, if it is delayed any longer, Xiao Qi will really go crazy. Erfu tugged at the red tassels on the tips of the fourth master's hair and whispered.
"To be honest, it's not easy. Speaking of this, the fourth master was also full of bitterness.
For example, Mr. Dai is a lot of ladies from famous families, and there are many talented women who are full of knowledge, if you want to look carefully, there are many in Beijing, but it is suitable to invite Xiaoqi to be a candidate for Mr. Woman, but it is not easy to find, his ideal candidate for Mr. Lady should be Mr. Dai in the middle of the year, some life experience, Women who have experienced the ups and downs of life, firstly, they are well-informed and can help Woolf in all aspects, secondly, such a woman is not easy to get up and down, just seeking stability, not easy to cause unnecessary trouble, and thirdly, he hopes to find an experienced housewife who guides Elof to grow up gradually.
Of course, he can also find a temporary female gentleman to deal with, which is very easy, but now that Erfu is a double person, he really doesn't want to arrange the uneasy person to Erfu, so he can only delay it first.
He didn't want Erf to worry about these things.
But in the end, it is a person who has been with her for many years, the fourth master's embarrassment, she understands it, and she also knows that the fourth master has been worried about the major events of the court recently, and even the eye circles are a little dark, and at a glance, it looks like she has not rested well for several days, and she is really reluctant to embarrass the fourth master, she stretched out her hand to smooth the wrinkles in the center of the fourth master's eyebrows, and suggested with a smile: "If it really doesn't work, let people look for it from the south of the Yangtze River, there is a place where literati and artists gather, and talented women are endless, and I may be able to find a suitable candidate." ”
"Come on, Ye Ming will arrange for someone to go to Jiangnan. The fourth master smiled and nodded.
"Don't talk about these troubles, let you see something new. As he spoke, Erfu pulled on his shoes and pulled the fourth master to the study.
She reached out and took out a neatly cut stack of drawing paper from the bookshelf and stuffed it into the fourth master's arms.
This stack of blueprints is the result of months of painstaking drawing, a mountain resort that she intends to build with hot spring water.
Thinking about the drawings she racked her brains to draw, she raised her chin arrogantly, held the honey water offered by the maid, crossed Erlang's legs, and sat on the Taishi chair by the window, waiting to enjoy the little eyes of the fourth master who was surprised, appreciative and adoring.
It's just that, unfortunately, she was disappointed again.
The ancient buildings with carved beams and painted buildings and hollow window lattices are simply perfect works of art.
And this resort villa designed by Erf, although the details of the room are very interesting, but it is just that she thinks about those small and exquisite, Suzhou gardens with a scene in ten steps, pirated goods made by cats and tigers, and the fourth master who is used to seeing big scenes, where will she feel how rare it is!
However, the fourth master still nodded in affirmativeness.
"Have you chosen a place?" he asked, smiling, putting down the stack of design drawings.
Erfu pouted, looked at the slightly curled design drawings, and always felt a sense of loss of lighting the lamp for the blind to see, bit his lip, and replied in a low voice: "I remember that the emperor built the Tangquan Palace on the side of Xiaotangshan, and I also plan to go there to join in the fun, and go to the hot springs in my spare time, and I don't have to worry about meeting any messy people." ”
The fourth master noticed Erfu's depressed mood, and hurriedly took the drawings in his hand again, pretending to be very serious and looking at them, in fact, he was already distracted and calculated how to get a good location with a surface hot spring for Erfu to build his favorite Zhuangzi, "If you like it, you can get it, and later the master will let Su Peisheng go over to see if there is a ready-made Zhuangzi for sale, if there is really none, the master will go to the internal affairs office to think about it." ”
Erfu is very coaxing, and the fourth master makes her happy with a few words.
She smiled and pointed to the small details that were not shown on the drawings, thinking about the Suzhou gardens she had seen in her previous life, and said her thoughts in detail, and in the end, she lowered her head a little shyly, wrung her fingers, and muttered embarrassedly: " In fact, this matter is not in a hurry, even if it is fast, you have to wait until after the beginning of spring, you can ask someone to start construction, originally I was going to arrange it myself, build the Zhuangzi, and then give it to you as a gift for your birthday next year, but now I have a body, and I can't bear to show off, so I will give you this drawing as a gift. ”
"As long as it's sent by you, you like everything. The fourth master said with a smile, across the corner, he grabbed Erfu's little hand like condensed fat, rubbing it lightly and heavily, looking very skinny.
Although she smiled happily when she heard the fourth master say this, she still habitually said arrogantly: "Che, if this is really the case, then when you are born next year, I will give you a silver bead as a gift." ”
"Silver beads, forget it, it's better to give me a hollow silver silk incense ball. ”
"Didn't you say that you like to give everything, why can't you give silver beads?" Erfu asked angrily with a small face, she knew that the fourth master was a hypocrisy, don't look at it now, if she really sent two silver beads, or sent something casually, the fourth master would be so angry that he couldn't even eat longevity noodles.
The fourth master smiled and said nothing, and Erfu no longer held on to this topic, and continued to talk about the matter of building Zhuangzi, until Ya'er came over, urging her and the fourth master to have dinner again and again, and sent a delicate and delicious snack, she remembered to talk to the fourth master about Lu Gege.
