Chapter 295: Crossing the Clear Road
Chapter 295
Early the next morning, Erfu was lazily served by the maids to wash and change clothes, and after a simple breakfast, when she arrived at the main courtyard, she heard about Mo Yaqi and Hongyun's moving yard, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"After all, they are all big children, don't you see that Xiao Qi and Hongxuan around you have also moved to live in the courtyard!"
Erfu understood the meaning of Wulanara's words, saying that the child was older, but in fact, he just felt that Xiao Li's was unreliable, and thought that he would move the two children out of the yard earlier, and with the people arranged by the fourth master to protect them, the safety factor could be higher.
However, she was still surprised by Mo Yaqi and Hongyun's ability to accept, her own mother was sent outside, I am afraid that she will not be able to see it in this life, and seeing that this courtyard is also going to become a residence for other women, don't they miss this place!
Well, sure enough, the living environment is different, and this considers different things.
If she was Mo Yaqi, she would definitely stay in this east courtyard and not leave, and even more so she would have to think of sending Xiao Li to live in other courtyards and keep a trace of her mother's corner.
"Fu Jin, there are still things to be done in the courtyard of the concubine, and the concubine wants to go first!" Xiao Li changed the usual small and transparent set of the set, and without waiting for the Wulanala clan to announce the end, he had already gotten up with a smile, and Ying Ying, like the wind blowing willows, made a blessing salute, and said softly.
Dressed in a peach-red embroidered plain white small floral placket suit, setting off Xiao Li's tender white skin like snow, a pair of long hairpins with red gold inlaid mutton fat jade buckles in the hair are dotted on one side of the shelf. Echoing with the red gold dot emerald step on the other side, it is really rich and compelling.
Wulanala also noticed the change in Xiao Li's dress and temperament, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, 'People's hearts are separated from their stomachs'. Raised his hand slightly, "Although those two children are not young, they are not as many things as you have experienced, you still have to take care of them more, I won't keep you much today, let's call you to talk another day!"
"The concubine retires!" Xiao Li smiled and turned around and exited the main room. led a team belonging to the Li family and returned to the East Courtyard.
The flowers bloom two and one on each branch, and the Wulanala clan here is worried about the matter of the Mo Yaqi sister and brother moving the yard. There was no Dorulf and the others to speak, and they all dispersed after Xiao Li left for a while.
And Xiao Li returned to the East Courtyard, first closed the door and muttered to Mama Shen for a while, and then asked Mama Shen to call the two big girls beside her. The individual closed the door again and muttered for a long time. sent the big maids who originally belonged to the Li family to wait outside.
Just when the hearts of the big girls under the corridor were restless, the door that had been closed for half an hour finally opened, and Xiao Li slowly walked out of the bead curtain in the inner room wearing the delicately embroidered and well-cut tribute satin placket costume, sat on the Taishi chair in the hall, and whispered to Mama Shen to beckon everyone in the east courtyard to come over and give a lecture.
In a few moments, a few big maids led the servants up and down in the east courtyard to the hall. According to the grades, the faces of different faces lowered their heads and bowed down to greet them.
The maid who had been waiting with Xiao Li's was busy delivering a cup of fragrant jujube nectar tea to her.
Xiao Li's eyes, which are fifty percent similar to Li's, narrowed slightly. looked at everyone below, and only after a long time did he raise his hand slightly, motioned for everyone to get up, and said loudly: "You are all old people around the clan sister, this top one is a shrewd and capable person, and you must all understand what the master means."
I'm too lazy to say all that boring nonsense, and you're all tired of hearing it, but for now, I'm going to put this ugly thing in front of me—
In the future, the side Fujin in the East Courtyard can only be me, if you don't want to stay in the East Courtyard to serve, then take this opportunity to bring it up, I also gave the Fujin early, and arranged another place for you to go, and the custody will not embarrass you.
But if after today, you dare to do something stupid with me to sell your lord for glory, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!" After speaking, Xiao Li slammed the tea bowl he was playing with on the table, looked at the water marks that swayed out, showed a cold smile to the bone marrow, and squinted at the many servants under him.
Among the servants who stood with their heads bowed, only two inconspicuous little maids stood up.
Xiao Li looked around for a week, asked again, and saw that the remaining three big maids still had no intention of leaving, so they didn't say much, and smiled and asked Mama Shen to send the two little maids who were out of the queue to the housekeeper's grandmother, and gave a reward of twenty taels of silver, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of the love of master and servant for the Li family.
"Since you have all made up your minds to stay in the East Courtyard, then forget about the past, I am the Li family, the Li family is me, I don't want anyone to compare me with my clan sister, if I hear those gossips, I will not show mercy, I will send them to the master, let the master deal with it personally.
A few of you first-class maids, you are still arranged as before.
I remember that Miyun was in charge of taking care of the makeup box and jewelry, and now that Miyun is gone, Liu Hui took her place, took her job, and served in the room with her.
As for Liu Tan, take care of the pen and ink, books and other things in the study, and another example of a maid. Li stroked the pearl tassel hanging from his sideburns and said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, Mama Shen hurriedly approached Xiao Li's side, "Master, according to the rules of the house, there are four first-class maids and palace maids around you, four second-class maids and palace maids, and eight third-class maids, and the other is rude and uncertain."
Just walked two third-class maids, if the master wants to arrange the people around him, it is better to let them follow the second-class maid's monthly silver!"
"No need!" Xiao Li raised his hand and interrupted Mama Shen's unfinished words, "The excess part will just go from my share, Liu Hui and Liu Tan have been following me for a long time, I must not wronged them."
As for the lack of little maids, let the housekeeper make another arrangement!"
As he spoke, Xiao Li glanced at the servants with different expressions of eyes, and said with a smile, "The two of them have been with me for a long time, and I use them easily." Be faithful to me, and I will not do them any wrong, and so will you.
In the days to come. We are under the same roof, and if you are good to me, I will be good to you. Alright, except for the first-class maid and the second-class maid who are waiting in the room, everyone else should go down!"
After speaking, Xiao Li instructed Liu Hui to take out the purses she had prepared a long time ago, and asked Liu Hui to give them a reward—among them, the first-class maid received two delicate silver beads engraved with the five patterns of Fu Lu Shou Xicai, the second-class maid received a silver coin engraved with the word Fu and the Ruyi pattern, and the third-class maid and the rough servant received a pair of silver peace buckles. It is engraved with the word Ruyi in Manchu script, which is about the same size as an ordinary copper coin.
Although the reward is not much, it is better than the meaning. The little maids who left the room and read the contents of their purses, all of them were happy, obviously subdued by Xiao Li.
Xiao Li looked at the next few big girls who didn't have a good face for her in the past, and couldn't help but feel some strange feelings in her heart. Some want to laugh even more. Hurriedly covered his lips and coughed lightly, calmed down the excitement in his heart, suppressed his throat, and whispered: "I am a person with clear rewards and punishments, but I only have a pair of eyes, and it is inevitable that there will be places that I can't see, so you all have to share more for me."
In the morning, I will prepare a gilt copper box under the porch of the hall. If you notice something strange about someone else, you can write a note to report it.
Once verified. I will reward the person who reported it.
In addition, if you feel that you have been treated unfairly, you can also write a note and stuff it in the box, I will read it every day, and I will not pretend to anyone, and you don't have to worry about retaliation!"
Everyone responded one after another, and even said that they would do things for her, and they would definitely not live up to her Xiao Li's trust, as if they wanted to be generous and righteous, but Xiao Li didn't believe it at all, but she wasn't worried that these people would betray her, she had a way to make these people loyal to her, which was the result of the careful discussion she had just had with Mama Shen.
Thinking of this, Xiao Li smiled slightly, showing a touch of girlish shyness, twisted the handkerchief, and said softly: "According to the rules of the house, it is the day of the sixteenth chasing the moon, I am the side Fujin of the house, and I entered the house before the Guerjia clan, so I must take good care of the master."
On that day, I will also mention to my lord your relatives who are controlled by the clan sister's family, so that everyone in your family can regain their freedom!"
If it is said that those big girls are perfunctory just now, then they are a little distracted at this time, looking at Xiao Li's eyes are hot, just like the rough old men who have been locked up for several years have seen the big beautiful girl, if it is not for the difference in the identity of the master and servant, I am afraid that they can rush up and kiss a few mouthfuls to express their inner gratitude and excitement.
"Okay, Ergege and Brother Hongyun are going to move the yard later, and it's not good for me to keep these things that the clan sister has bought privately. Mengyun, you will lead the little maid to register in a while, seal the box and send it to them!" "Xiao Li's family was so excited that he didn't sleep for half the night because he suddenly became a side Fujin yesterday, and he got up early to ask for peace to the Wulanala clan, and after talking for a while, he was a little tired, pointing to the spotless delicate ornaments on the Bogu shelf, and commanded with a smile.
Xiao Li said it openly, but she knew the roots of the Li family.
Speaking of the bottom, this Li sister's family is not much different from her family, if it weren't for the fact that the Li family was pointed out early to the fourth master, who was still a flat-headed elder brother at the time, and gave birth to two sons one after another, and got some benefits, it may not be thicker than her family.
Besides, the Li family was directly pointed out from the palace to serve the elder brother, and there were only two burdened clothes as a dowry at that time, although the Li family bought her a shop and two small Zhuangzi as private property, and got some fourth masters to fill her private house, but in the end the foundation is still thinner, not as good as the Guerjia family's ten-mile red makeup makes people red.
Nine and a half of the ten things on the Bogu shelf were distributed by Fuzhong to decorate the façade, and half of them were Li's, but they were all high-quality imitations of the glaze factory, which were not worth anything at all.
As for the title deeds of one shop and two Zhuangzi, Li's private house silver had already been taken away by Mo Yaqi and Hongyun, and she didn't wait for her to pretend to be generous and send it at all.
So instead of accepting these kinds of goods, leaving a small-bellied chicken intestine and a black-hearted covetousness of her Li dowry, it is better to be so generous, and directly give them to the two small ones, and in the future, they will also be worry-free and affordable!
"The master is kind, the slave and maid are going!" Mengyun saw that Li asked her to do things several times, the small chest was so tall that it was called a tall, her eyes were full of joy, and she responded sharply, and skillfully took out the account book from a brocade box, put a few vases without the badge of the fourth master's mansion into the brocade box, and sent the account book to the Li family to take a look, and then beckoned the rough maids to move things.
Here, Xiao Li sent all the remaining things of the Li family to the Forgotten Worry Pavilion that the fourth master pointed out to Mo Yaqi.
Over there, Erfu had already asked someone to find a few inconspicuous little things from her library and send them to two sides, one was to congratulate Xiao Li on picking up a big bargain, and the other was to add a lot of color to Mo Yaqi.
With Xiao Li and Erfu's behavior of sending things, the other little Gege didn't dare to slack off, and they also sent things over, which relieved Mo Yaqi, who was worried about how to arrange the Bogu frame to be brilliant.
Front, Su Peisheng entered the palace with the letter hurriedly written by the fourth master, and as soon as he entered the Heart Nourishing Hall with Wei Zhu, he was frightened by a cold eye thrown by Kangxi Ye, and almost fell directly on the half-foot-high threshold.
"You are the little eunuch next to the fourth child, why did you come to me!" Kangxi's memory is really good, although Su Peisheng is not a person, he still recognized his identity at a glance, and raised his eyebrows.
Su Peisheng didn't dare to slack off, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and crawled to five feet in front of Kangxi, then he made a five-body bow to the ground, and said loudly, the screaming and screaming movement shook the layer of fine ash on the dust that depicted the dragon and the phoenix: "Slave Su Peisheng see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"
"Hmm!" Kangxi Ye lost a nasal voice and motioned for him to get up and speak.
It was rare to have the opportunity to face the saint, Su Peisheng said that he wanted to leave a good impression on Kangxi, and kowtowed again, before he even stood up with a bow of 90 degrees, and he was not as tall as Kangxiye sitting on the couch.
Although Kangxi Ye is a dustless character, he is treated as a living bodhisattva, and his mood is a little better, so he actually put down a small half of the booklet in his hand and gave Su Peisheng a straight face.
Su Peisheng was already a sharp-tongued person, but when he saw Kangxi's actions, he seemed to have been greatly affirmed, and he made up his mind, and hurriedly took out the letter written by the fourth master from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Zhu for submission.
Envelopes and stationery are big road goods, but they are sealed with wax, which looks very weird.
Wei Zhu took the silver needle and other objects to carefully test the poison, and then opened the vermilion lacquer fire seal, half-squinted, and didn't dare to look at the content of the letter, so he held it in both hands and sent it to Kangxi Ye.
There were only a few words on the paper, but Kangxi Ye smiled bitterly.
In Lao Kang's mind, the fourth child is stubborn and cares for the short. If you look at something that is pleasing to the eye, hold it in the palm of your hand to protect it, and if you look at something that is not pleasing to the eye, you can't wait to rush to Siberia to blow the cold wind. However, in recent years, the fourth child has acted more and more steadily and magnificently, and he is not lost to Yinren who is the first prisoner of the country, so he has paid more attention to the people around the fourth child.
This matter of the Li family, the old man Kangxi has also heard some rumors from Concubine De and other aspects, but he can also understand the behavior of the fourth child, but looking at the fourth child, he is worried that the child has been wronged, and he can't help but reflect on the stupid things he did when he was a high-spirited young man in those years.
