Chapter One Thousand and Forty-Four

As a concubine, as a side Fujin in the house, the life of Ruixi of the Wulanala clan is very boring, especially when she has just entered the mansion, she doesn't want to be too conspicuous, and she doesn't want to compete with Erfu for the right to take charge of the family, so she has nothing else to do except dress herself up beautifully and wait for the fourth master to come and sleep with her.

When the moon went down, she sat up from the soft couch and sat up for dinner unhurriedly.

The fourth master is a very enterprising man, even when he is at home, most of the time he stays in the front yard study and discusses the disadvantages of the government with the strategists in the house, and he has been busy until dinner, then he stretches his muscles and leads Su Peisheng to report to the main courtyard first.

This is something that Erf has agreed with him a long time ago.

In order not to let the child rarely see his own Ama since he was a child, and in order to stabilize his own position in the house, Erfu was very scheming and set a rule with the fourth master that he would come to the main courtyard to eat every day, and the fourth master, who had long been accustomed to frequent contacts in the main courtyard, agreed without the slightest dissatisfaction.

For the fourth master, a somewhat serious man, he will do what he promised, so even if he is busy as a dog, he will try his best to walk around the main courtyard as busy as possible, even if there is no time to eat, he always has to accompany the children to talk together, or to take the test of Hongxuan's homework, or to walk the dog with Xiaoqi, or to talk with Erfu, and this is the same today, he led Su Peisheng to the main courtyard as usual, and as soon as he entered the door, he looked at Xiao Nizi who was leaning on the square table in the hall and sleeping with her cheeks, he waved his hand to Su Peisheng who followed behind him, and came to Erfu's side with light steps。

"Your rules, I'm afraid it's not as good as our Xiaoqi to learn!" The fourth master, who has always been serious and rigid, crept to Erfu's side, raised his hand to stop Shilan and the poetic duo who were about to come forward to wake up Erfu, and drove the two out with a wave of his hand, and when the servants in the room left, he leaned into Erfu's ear childishly, deliberately pretending to be annoyed with a smile in his eyes, and taught him coldly.

When Erfu heard this, he was startled, and the whole person jumped up from the Taishi's chair.

"Ye knows how to scare me, I rarely have a moment of leisure!" Erfu, who saw the identity of the person who came, rolled his eyes angrily, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said coquettishly with a red face with some shame.

After saying that, she sat back on the Taishi chair.

The fourth master, who was rolled his eyes by Erfu, smiled dotingly, stepped forward, reached out and took an account book on the square table and flipped through it, looked at the strange marks on it, raised his eyebrows and looked at Erfu who covered his lips and yawned, and asked in a low voice: "Where is this account book, why is it so messy, but the servants below are not satisfied!"

"Who doesn't know that you are the famous king of cold noodles, even if the servants serving below are not dedicated in private, they don't dare to make this kind of mistake on the surface, this is the account book sent from several Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, this account book was clean when it was sent, and I don't know how to make this virtue!" Hearing this, Erfu came to the side of the fourth master with a smile, pointed to the very regular stains on the account books, and explained a little puzzled for the servants who were on the errands below, this is not that she deliberately covered it up for her subordinates, but when the stack of account books was sent, it was really clean, and there was not even a curling burr, but I don't know how to put it in the study for two days and there were a lot of regular stains.

Regarding this, the fourth master, who couldn't figure it out for a while, also became curious, and loudly beckoned Su Peisheng, who came in to serve outside, and ordered him to send this account book to Chen Fu to check to see if there was any hidden secret in it.

"Don't mix the accounts of this inner courtyard, if you let others know, don't laugh at me!" In this regard, Erfu was a little unhappy, but she did not stop Su Peisheng from taking the account book to the front yard for Chen Fu to see, after all, the fourth master had already ordered, she always wanted to save some face for the fourth master in front of outsiders, but after Su Peisheng withdrew from the upper room, she still said what she thought in her heart.

"The matter in the backyard of the fourth master's mansion is naturally based on you, the master will not ask too much, and he is too lazy to get involved, the reason why the master let Chen Fu take a look is that he wants to see what those stains are, for fear that someone will take the opportunity to calculate you stupid girl. The fourth master smiled and took Erfu into his arms, sat on a Taishi chair, and explained softly.

"It's good to know, it's not easy for the concubine to smooth out all the errands of the family. Erph said proudly.

When the fourth master heard this, he nodded with a smile, but looking at the faint cyan that appeared under Erfu's eyes at some point, he still added uneasily, "If there is really something that doesn't make sense, you are afraid of losing face, just ask the master to think for you." ”

"I know, Ye is a worrying character. When Erfu heard this, her heart was warm, and she hugged the fourth master's shoulder with a smile on her face, but she was reckless in her mouth.

After speaking, she was still very moved to drop a kiss on the neck of the fourth master.

Erfu looked at the pale pink kiss marks on the neck of the fourth master, grinned with satisfaction, and then she was tired of lying in the arms of the fourth master for a while, so she beckoned Shilan and Shiqing to set up a meal in the hall, and at the same time did not forget to arrange for Yujie to go to Tingfeng Lou to call Xiao Qi and Mo Yaqi over.

After entering the house from Mama Sun, the teaching grandmother appointed by Emperor Kangxi, Mo Yaqi joined the main courtyard.

No way, who let the time of this course schedule have a problem, every time the class is over, it is the time when the fourth master comes to the backyard for dinner, the two children are listening to the wind building, Erfu, who is a mother-in-law, is really not too favoritous, so she can only call Mo Yaqi over, but Mo Yaqi This girl is a character who climbs along the pole, once or twice, and then she didn't need Yu Jie to call, as soon as she saw Yu Jie go over to listen to Feng Lou call Xiao Qi, she was cheeky and followed.

But it's no wonder that Mo Yaqi is like this, she is really forced by life.

The little Gege in this backyard want to live well, it is nothing more than two factors, one is to see whether their Eniang is favored, the mother is expensive by the son, and the son is expensive by the mother, especially these Gege who can't make contributions outside, if their Eniang is favored in front of the fourth master, they have a face in the house, and when they get married in the future, the fourth master will also ask a few more words, and the second is to rely on them to be coquettish and cute in front of the fourth master.

Now Mo Yaqi's mother-in-law Li has been grounded in the cold courtyard, and she doesn't know if she has any hope of turning over in this life, even if she wants to rely on it, she can't rely on it, and her several accidents have destroyed all her good impressions in the fourth master's mind, and now with Grandma Sun entering the house to teach the rules, she rarely has such a good opportunity to show her face in front of the fourth master, she will definitely not let it go easily, and if she loses face, she will be embarrassed, and she grovels to please Erfu, the concubine, and she endures it.

Erfu didn't like Mo Yaqi's matter, and didn't think about hiding it from the fourth master, and the fourth master also understood, but Mo Yaqi was his biological bloodline, so he saw that Erfu mentioned Mo Yaqi with an impatient face, and hurriedly persuaded: "Mo Yaqi, this kid has ended up like this now, you should care more, just don't worry about the things on the side, you always have to worry about the face of the master." ”

"The concubine understands, who let her have a good father like you!" Erf grumbled angrily.

But she just complained, she really wanted her to use the insidious methods of those calculating people on Mo Yaqi's body, she really couldn't let go of that heart, she was now looking forward to Emperor Kangxi thinking of this shameful granddaughter, and marrying this granddaughter early, no matter where she married, it would be considered a result, even if she married to the bitter cold of Mongolia to make peace!

It's a pity that the Manchu and Mongolian marriages, although they are a means of appeasement to Mongolia by Emperor Kangxi, it is impossible to marry Mo Yaqi, the granddaughter of the concubine who has lost her innocence, to Mongolia to harm those feudal princes and brothers, after all, those Mongolian vassal kings are not fools, in order to better control the movements of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, they have left their ears and eyes to stare at the movements in Beijing early, and the lace news of Mo Yaqi's several accidents naturally spread to the Mongolian grassland.

In this regard, Erfu, the deep daughter, is not clear, but the fourth master is well versed in the inside story.

Don't look at Mo Yaqi, this girl has the name of Prince Gege, the situation is really embarrassing, she can't marry far away, and no one dares to marry if she marries closely, it is precisely because of this that the fourth master has never mentioned Mo Yaqi's marriage to Erfu, let alone told Erfu to invite a woman of appropriate age to enter the house to see people, he can't afford to lose this face, and he is even more reluctant to let Erfu give those foreign wives a smile for Mo Yaqi's affairs, thinking about letting Grandma Sun raise Mo Yaqi well for a few years, and wait until the ridiculous things Mo Yaqi did are forgotten, and then arrange Mo Yaqi's marriage.

As for letting the fourth master ruthlessly send Mo Yaqi to the nunnery to cultivate, he couldn't be ruthless.

After a while, Mo Yaqi and Xiao Qi, who followed Mama Sun to learn the rules in Tingfeng Building, came to the main courtyard arm in arm.

Erfu restrained the annoyance and unhappiness on her face, welcomed the two children into the door with a smile, beckoned Shilan to bring water to clean the hands and faces of the two children, and arranged for Shilan and Shiqing to set up a meal in the hall, and then sat next to the fourth master, beckoning Xiao Qi and Mo Yaqi to move chopsticks with a warm smile on his face.

Because there are Mo Yaqi and Xiao Qi come to eat every dinner, so the dinner in the main courtyard is very rich, a four-dimensional table of eight immortals, full of four meat, four vegetables and eight dishes, and four kinds of snacks and a pot of fragrant rice, enough for the big and small four people to eat a round belly, carefully waiting for the fourth master and the children to eat well, Erfu looked at Mo Yaqi who did not leave for a long time, gently put down the hot tea in his hand, beckoned Shilan and Shiqing to clean up the table, and gave the upper room to the four masters, father and daughter to talk.

When she escaped from the small kitchen and returned to the upper room, she said that Mo Yaqi was gone, and the fourth master was also gone, leaving only Xiao Qiyi who was holding a book and reading with relish, which made Erfu, who wanted to say a few words to the fourth master, secretly gritted her teeth, she forced a smile to Xiao Qi's side, and just wanted to speak, she saw Xiao Qi blinking his eyes playfully, grinning and pointing to the corner of the dressing table in the inner room, and reminded in a coquettish voice: " Xiao Qi just saw that before Ama left, he secretly put a finely carved brocade box on your dressing table, Eniang, you quickly open the brocade box and let Xiao Qi open his eyes. ”

"Really?" said Elder with joy in her heart, but her face was not visible, and her eyes did not glance into the inner room.

Xiao Qi only thought that his own mother was leaving for his own Ama without even saying hello and causing a tantrum, and he hurriedly put down the half-read book in his hand, and came to Erfu with a smile on his face, holding Erfu's arm, pointing to the brocade box on the dressing table in the inner room, and said with a gesture: "It's the hollow brocade box carved by rosewood, about a foot long, palm wide, it's not bad!"

After speaking, she saw that Erfu was not moved, so she ran directly to the dressing table in the inner room and brought the brocade box.

Erfu looked at the finely carved brocade box like a work of art in Xiao Qi's hand, his heart moved slightly, he reached out and took it, and opened the gilt double ruyi pattern copper buckle lock on the brocade box, revealing a pair of long hairpins with rouge jade carving Fulu Suxi patterns inside, and a trace of joy crossed his face uncontrollably, but his mouth said arrogantly: "I know that I can coax people with these things, but it's a good thing to look at, come, take a look at this hairpin hairpin for Eniang." After speaking, she handed the brocade box back to Xiao Qi's hand, took a bronze mirror by the window, and carefully looked at it back and forth.

With such a pair of ingenious hostas in hand, Erfu forgot to regenerate the fourth master's anger.

——————————

In the west courtyard, Wulanala Shiruixi, who was waiting for the arrival of the fourth master with a happy face, saw the figure of the fourth master, and came to the fourth master like a cheerful little swallow, and said with a blessing: "Concubine Wulanala Ruixi, please be safe for the fourth master, and the fourth master is auspicious." ”

"Hurry up, there are no outsiders, so you don't have to be so formal. Seeing this, the fourth master stretched out his hand to help up Wulanala Shi Ruixi, and said lightly, in fact, the fourth master in private is very easy-going, and he doesn't particularly care about those false courtesies, otherwise he wouldn't allow Erfu to disobey the rules at the beginning, and he dealt with him as I claimed to be.

In this regard, Wulanala Shi Ruixi did not know it, and hurriedly bent his knees to thank him with excitement and joy on his face.

The fourth master was not surprised, and once again helped up Wulanala Shiruixi to stand up, and then walked directly to the upper room with his sleeves flicked.

Don't look at it is already in July, and I have already entered the autumn day, but the sun in this sky is scorching, and the yard that has been baked by the big sun all day is full of hot heat, especially the fourth master is a person who is very afraid of heat, this way, and after standing in the yard for a while, he already felt that beads of sweat oozed from his back and neck, and his face was a little hot.

Obviously, Wulanala Shi Ruixi also knew that the fourth master was afraid of heat, so the ice basin in the room was not removed, and two beautifully dressed palace maids were ingeniously arranged to use fans to cool down next to the ice basin.

Seeing this, Wulanala Shi Ruixi, who followed the fourth master and entered the door, stepped forward with a smile, waited for the fourth master to change into his regular clothes, and sent a cup of tea with just the right temperature to the fourth master, and when the fourth master drank tea and rested for a while, the heat around his body completely dissipated, and then reminded softly: "It's not too early, it's better to go and arrange the dinner with the concubine!"
