Chapter One Thousand and Eighty-Seven
In fact, there is a corner door in the backyard wall of the main courtyard, but it is in the back wall position across the courtyard, mainly to facilitate the palace maids from other courtyards to come to the housekeeper to do things, or the palace maid of the main courtyard to the needlework room, the Huan washing room and other places to send laundry, just the opposite of the direction to listen to the rain Zhai, and there is no path to listen to the rain Zhai, but to go around a large circle from the garden, this is not to say that Erfu cares about the identity and is unwilling to use the small corner door of the palace maid to enter and exit.
However, the main courtyard is the most regular courtyard in the house, and the doors in and out of the courtyard are counted, and now a small door is suddenly opened on the back wall, which may also involve feng shui and other issues, which is a relatively taboo thing in this era, so Erfu did not make a decision on his own, but first asked for the opinion of the fourth master.
On the contrary, the fourth master doesn't care about those unwarranted feng shui problems.
He carefully looked at the plane overlook of the Fourth Master's Mansion, sketched his fingers on the paper for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "Since you feel that there is such a need, then let Su Peisheng lead people over to measure the size, but the size of the courtyard gate opened after this should not be too large, otherwise the ancient trees by the wall will be moved!"
"It's okay, it's okay, I just want to be closer to Xiao Qi. Erph said with a nonchalant smile.
She actually just wants to be closer to Xiao Qi, and I don't know if it's an older relationship, when she just gave birth to Xiao Qi, she always felt that it was a very lucky thing to have a grandmother to help take care of the child, and even felt that the child crying was a very annoying thing, at most it was to hold Xiao Qi who was full of food and bit his fingers to play, most of the time was to be an irresponsible shopkeeper, there was no such time when maternal love was overflowing, but now she looked at the millet group growing up day by day, there was only an indescribable loss, and even made a stupid imagination, if the millet group could always maintain this cute and cute childish stateWhat a lovely thing it would be, but she also knew it was impossible, so she was even more greedy for the feeling of having children by her side.
Among the three children, she is most reluctant to be the girl Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi is her first child, although she gave birth to Xiao Qi at that time, she did not have the consciousness of being a mother in her heart, so at this point, she felt that she owed Xiao Qi a little bit in her heart, especially Xiao Qi was still a girl who was destined to marry someone else, and the time that she could stay with her own son, that is, it was just a few years, but she couldn't spoil Xiao Qi with her temperament, because Xiao Qi always had to marry someone else's family as a daughter-in-law, and she enjoyed honor in her in-law's family by virtue of her identity alone, where could she compare to the harmony and happiness of husband and wife!
Because of this, she wants to accompany Xiao Qi more.
Although Erfu didn't tell the fourth master these words, but she was full of reluctance and distress when she mentioned Xiaoqi, but it still made the fourth master think of her together, compared to Hongxuan and Mituan, the fourth master also prefers Xiaoqi, he doesn't have the idea of patriarchy, but feels that Brother should be strictly restricted, and Gege can be more loving and caring, so he remembered that Xiao Gege, who had grown up with his care, was going to marry someone else's family one day, and he didn't feel like Bilf in his heart, he took Erf, who was sitting next to him, into his arms, as if he was comforting Erf, but he was also comforting himself and whispered"Xiao Qi will always stay by our side, she has known how to honor our children since she was a child, where will she be willing to leave us!"
At the same time, the fourth master also made up his mind that he would not marry Xiao Qiyuan no matter what.
In the past, Erfu once begged himself to write a guarantee while the iron was hot, promising that he would not marry Xiaoqi to the grassland with relatively poor conditions, but at that time he was begged by Erfu to agree, and now he is reluctant from the bottom of his heart, these two seemingly the same decisions, but have completely different meanings, listening to the gentle murmur of the fourth master, Erfu felt that a big stone in his heart had completely fallen to the ground.
The fourth master has always been a doer, since he promised to let Su Peisheng arrange someone to come over to measure the size, When he returned to the house at noon, the craftsmen of the Internal Affairs Office had already opened a posture outside the back wall of the main courtyard, and various materials such as blue bricks and tiles and vermilion lacquered wooden doors were piled up in a felt shed temporarily erected on one side, and the path to Tingyuzhai and the inside of the back wall were also blocked by felt curtains, and there were also small eunuchs assigned by Chen Fu to keep an eye on the left and right, so as not to have bold craftsmen do anything irrational.
The main courtyard started the work, but it did not affect Erf's daily life.
She sent away the rivals who came over one by one to inquire about the news, and discussed the sale of the property with the housekeeper as usual, which made the rivals in the backyard who were waiting to see a good show a little disappointed, but it also made these women more determined to dig down the mountain of Erfu, because no woman would not be jealous, a concubine who should have relied on his reputation to lead the concubine room, but he was more favored than their concubines, how could it not attract these concubines to target and design!
However, Erf did not bother to care about the opinions of these rivals, she was very busy, and she had a lot of important things to worry about......
Because she didn't wait for her to arrange the sale of the property in the house, Concubine De Niangniang, who got the news in the palace, called her to the palace for questioning, and a person who entered the palace with her to ask for peace for Concubine De, as well as the new side Fujin Wulanala Shi Ruixi and Gege Wuya Hehe, this Wulanala Ruixi is the same clan relative of the first Fujin, Wuya Hehe is the cousin and niece of Concubine De Niangniang, and has a special relationship with Concubine De Niangniang, with these two goods and her to enter the palace to ask for peace, how can Erfu not be uneasy in his heart!
In the main hall, which is tightly blocked by the screen, the red candles are shining, the octagonal palace lamps hanging high are scattering a warm dark yellow halo, and the concubine Niangniang, who is wearing a dark brown gold silk embroidered phoenix and a peony robe and a flag costume, behaves dignifiedly, Gracefully sitting on the gilded throne with two phoenixes flying in front of the temple door, she lowered her eyes slightly and flicked the red gold skein beaded armor on her fingertips, and was silent for a while, then she raised her hand as if she had returned to her senses, motioned for Erfu and the others to sit down and speak, and at the same time glanced at the palace maid who was standing and waiting on her side with a little dissatisfaction, and said: "This palace is not in good spirits these days, and there are often times when you are distracted, how can you not know how to remind this palace to let these children suffer in vain." ”
Erfu had already thought that it was not a good thing to be suddenly summoned into the palace by Concubine De, and the time of the ritual was longer, and it was also within the scope of her expectations, so she was not surprised by Concubine De's reaction at all, and she was also used to it, in modern times, the deeds of the evil mother-in-law seen through various information made her tolerance for this concubine Niangniang, who still loved her, super high, and Wu Yahe knew that he could enter the four mansions to serve, and he also admired and worshiped this aunt and mother-in-law who could become the master of the palace from a palace maid, let alone take this kind of thing to heart。
For a while, among the three daughters in the palace, only Ulana Laruixi's face was a little ugly.
In the end, she still failed to change her mentality in time, even if she changed her shell, even if she lost the status of the wife of the main house, but in her bones, she still looked down on Concubine De Niangniang is the origin of the palace maid of the Baoyi Banner, she used to be the concubine Fujin personally pointed out to the fourth child by Emperor Kangxi, and she was the daughter of Fei Yanggu, the minister of the first rank of the guard, so Concubine De Niangniang saw that the noble girl from the Eight Banners of Manchuria looked down on her from her heart, and Concubine De Niangniang was not easy to embarrass her, at most she was cold, and tried her best to maintain the face of both parties, because Concubine De Niangniang knew that if she and the Wulanala clan had a quarrel, others would say that the Wulanala clan did not understand the rules, but she will also laugh at her, who is an elder, has no sense of responsibility, and will also cause the fourth child to lose face in front of Emperor Kangxi, but now the Fujin Wulanala clan has become the side Fujin Wula Ruixi who has just entered the mansion to serve, and she also put on this arrogant posture, which really deeply pierced the heart of Concubine De.
As a mother, Concubine De is grateful to Erfu for trying her best to ease the mother-son relationship between her and the fourth child, but when she looks at the fourth child's favor, she also has a faint worry in her heart, and she forgets the example of her mother after marrying a daughter-in-law, whether it is in the people, or in this deeply locked inner palace, there has always been no shortage.
The mother-son relationship between her and the fourth child is already weak, think about the early death of Shunzhi Ye in order to establish Dong Efei as the queen, even did not give the face of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, and abolished the two nieces of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen one after another, that it was her turn to be Concubine De's mother, how could she not be worried at all, not to mention that the mother-son relationship between her and the fourth child is far less than the mother-son relationship between Empress Xiaozhuang Wen and Shunzhi Ye, she has the same mind as the original Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, and wants to raise her own mother's family, so she was stunned to stuff her own cousin Wu Yahehe into the backyard of the fourth child, so she thought more。
It can be said that since the day Wu Yahehe entered the Fourth Master's Mansion, she has never been at peace in her heart.
However, Concubine De Niangniang and the fourth master have similar personalities, they are both very strong and face-saving people, she is unwilling to show her weak side to others, she can only force it in her heart, and wrap the softness of her heart with solid ice, and she is angry to the extreme, but she also knows that her anger is irrational, so she has always been forcibly suppressed by her, and now she is looked at by Ulana Laruixi with that looming mocking gaze, and it exploded when she landed.
At the beginning, Concubine De was willing to take care of the Wulanala clan because she didn't want to let the fourth child lose face, but now it's different.
If she, the mother-in-law, doesn't squeak, then it's not that she is open-minded, magnanimous and benevolent to her juniors, but that she is too kind, so Concubine De raised her hand very decisively, and slapped the armrest of the throne carved with cloud patterns heavily, putting her own unhappiness on the bright side, but she didn't speak to the side Fujin of Wulana Laruixi, but the king found the head of Erfu who sat on the next head.
With a dark face, she whispered to Erf, who was still a little unclear about the situation, with a bit of seriousness: " Erfu girl, E-Niang knows that you have a gentle personality, gentle and polite, especially the fourth concubine, you are even more compassionate and caring as a sister, but you have to know that sometimes, this should be the rules, or let them stand up, E-Niang has heard Yuxiu say when she asked for peace, you have never let the concubines in the fourth backyard set up rules in front of you, this is not good, but it has to be changed, especially the fourth mansion has added a few new side rooms with noble family backgrounds, this noble girl from the Manchurian Eight Banners is a highly regarded aunt and grandmother at home, and when you enter the house, it is inevitable that there will be a time when you can't turn around, if you don't take the rules seriously, how can they understand what it means to be a concubine!
In this regard, the Former Fujin Wulanala clan in front of you has done much better than you, and you have to learn it.
Yan Fujin should be lenient and gentle, treat the concubine well, and take care of the children, it is true that he must have a good reputation, but he can't care too much about the reputation, this name of generosity and virtue is very good, but you are also the patriarch of all the women and children in this backyard.
Do you understand what E-Niang said?" After speaking, she turned her eyes to the Ulanarari Creek, which was sitting at the head of Erf.
Concubine De's words are really straightforward enough, even if Erfu is stupid, she won't be able to see who Concubine De's fire is aimed at, but she is half-sideways in the direction of Concubine De, and she didn't notice anything wrong with Ulana Laruixi's expression, but when Concubine De Niangniang thought of the deceased Ulanala clan from Ulana Laruixi, she nodded busily, but she didn't take this matter to heart.
And Wu Yahehe, who was sitting at the very end, could see it clearly, she had only been in the mansion for a short time, and she had not yet gained a firm foothold in the mansion, and she also knew that the fourth master valued Erfu, knew that she wanted to be favored, wanted to have face in front of the fourth master, and also needed to rely on Erfu's promotion, but she would not blindly offend other people in the mansion, such as the valuable Wulana Laruixi, after all, she and Erfu could understand Concubine De's hints, and Wulana Laruixi was not a fool, how could she not hear that Concubine De Niangniang was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, in order not to make the scene too embarrassing, and in order not to let Wulana Laruixi get angry at her little Gege's head, she called her aunt with a smile and started a round for Ula Nalari Creek.
In the end, it is a niece who has been loved by her own daughter for a few years, Concubine De will not let Wu Ya Hehe have no face, but she is also a little uncomfortable in her heart, she doesn't believe that Wu Ya Hehe didn't see the disdain on Wu Lan Na Laruixi's face, but Wu Ya Hehe is still looking for a round for Wu Lan La Ruixi, and really puts her own interests and benefits in the first place, which makes her think of Wen Xian's child who has passed away, she thinks: If Wen Xian is still there, it will definitely not be like Wu Ya Hehe, in the end, it is not a child born and raised by herself, even if she loves her, it is not a little worse after all。
Thinking of this, she shook her head slightly, and sighed secretly: That's it, I gave her a decent and a way out, and in the future, I will take care of her as the fourth concubine, so as not to be sad again.
Wu Yahe never imagined that her few words would cause Concubine De to reflect so much, if she knew, she would definitely not talk too much at this time, because compared to the weight of Wulana Laruixi's side Fujin in the minds of the fourth master, it is undoubtedly that Concubine De is heavier and speaks more weightily, with Concubine De's protection, even if she is not favored in the house, she will not be bullied.
