Chapter One Thousand and Eighty-Six

After a while, a round table was set up in the hall, three official hat chairs and a baby chair with a sense of design were placed around the table, and the small millet group was carried to the upper room by the grandmother, and the egg custard and other foods that had been tasted by someone were packed with exquisite snack plates and placed on the small table on the baby chair, and then retreated to the side.

"This chair is so interesting, is it specially made by Eniang for the carpenter in the house?" Xiao Qi looked at the strange-looking baby chair in front of him with some curiosity, and asked in a coquettish voice, with a bit of unhappiness in his tone.

Hearing this, Erfu nodded with a smile and replied softly, "The new gadgets that were sent yesterday are interesting!"

Now that the millet group has grown up, it is time to dine with us, and if Hongxuan also comes, our room will be considered to be complete. After speaking, she secretly took a look at the fourth master, and saw that the fourth master's face had not changed, so she put down her heart, and served Xiao Qi a bowl of relatively light pork ribs and winter melon soup, signaling her not to talk more, lest the fourth master notice that Mo Yaqi did not come over today.

Although she always secretly admonishes herself, she is a concubine, and she is the concubine of all the children in the house, but it is still difficult for her to achieve a bowl of water, not a child born by herself, so that she loves from the bottom of her heart, she really can't do it, thinking of the snickering joy that she just saw that Mo Yaqi did not follow behind Xiao Qi and appeared in the upper room of the main courtyard, and then thinking about Hongxuan who was alone in the front yard, she blushed for her own little caution, but let her pretend to treat all children equally, she really can't do it, at least she often forgets that there is not only a child in this house, as well as the four grids from Dong E's family and the five grids from Ula Nara Meier.

When the fourth master sitting in the main seat heard this, he said with a smile: "Let's have a tomorrow, let Hongxuan come over for dinner tomorrow." ”

In fact, he is not a person who does not understand human feelings, ten fingers have their own lengths and weaknesses, even he, who is Amma, can't equally distribute his father's love to all the children, how can he be embarrassed to ask Erfu to love the children from other concubines as his own children, so as long as Erfu is not confused in major matters, don't treat Xiaoqi and the children from those concubines too differently, he doesn't account too much.

Besides, he felt that Erfu did not treat the children of other concubines with half a point.

Don't talk about the side, just talk about Xiao Qi and Mo Yaqi.

Mo Yaqi found Erfu's embarrassment several times, and even made Erfu lose face in front of Emperor Kangxi, and the Li family also framed Erfu again and again, but now that Li is confined in Jiasi Courtyard, Erfu did not treat Mo Yaqi harshly, but everything that Xiao Qi has, Mo Yaqi has, that is, Xiao Qi does not have, as long as Mo Yaqi needs it, and the requirements are not particularly excessive, she will try her best to meet it, based on this alone, the fourth master will be generous.

In the fourth master's opinion, if he and Erfu were to get along in another place, he would not be able to treat Mo Yaqi so well with Erfu.

Not to mention that Honghui, the eldest brother left by the Wulanala clan of Xianfujin, almost used a scimitar to ask for Erfu's life at the Lantern Festival night banquet, not to mention, he also detonated the identity of Erfu's criminal minister, that is, the first Fujin of the Wulanala clan, who also designed Erfu with a sweet face, and even designed to kill Erfu's pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and now Erfu just ignores Honghui, as if there is no Honghui in the house, and never wants to hurt Honghui's child to retaliate, in Honghui again and again, When he made mistakes again and again, he also pleaded for Honghui, emphasizing Honghui's benevolence and filial piety, so that he, who is Amma, should not worry about Honghui as a child.

Such a gentle and virtuous woman, how could the fourth master bear to let her down, and then think about the bastard words that Honghui suddenly rushed to his own study today, he really felt that Honghui was a little in the blessing and didn't know the blessing!

Of course, the fourth master was also even more disappointed and cold.

Before he died, Honghui's child couldn't wait to think about getting married and breaking up!

Yes, Ula Nara Meier learned from Erf that Erfu was going to sell the property in the house, and she didn't think about Erfu's subsequent words about buying another property, so she went directly to Tong Jia's side to discuss the operability of this matter, Tong Jia's did not live up to Ula Nara Meier's painstaking efforts, and after a few tosses, she was stunned that within the evening the matter of Erfu's private sale of the property reached Honghui's ears, and she had to blame Honghui for feeding the dog all these years with Mrs. Hu's ability to calm down, and he couldn't even wait for the little eunuch who ran errands next to him to verify it, so he couldn't wait to go to the fourth master to complain。

He forgot to think about it, the owners of every grass and tree in this house are the fourth masters, if the fourth master nods and agrees, it is the mistress of the house to Fujin, how can he get the land deeds and house deeds that are in the hands of Chen Fu in the front yard, Honghui ran over and asked, not only will not let the fourth master have any objection to Erfu, but will make the fourth master feel that Honghui can't wait to split up, which makes the fourth master who has always valued Honghui how can he not feel cold and disappointed!

However, the fourth master didn't tell Erfu that Honghui was his child in the end, and he still didn't want Honghui to lose face in front of Erfu, nor did he want to let these messy things pollute Erfu's ears......

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had wronged Erf, and the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to make up for it......

Erfu originally wanted to ask the fourth master, Hongxuan's child had anything special to eat, and she also instructed the small kitchen to prepare in advance, but as soon as she tilted her head, she saw the fourth master who was obviously wandering in the world, and she could be distracted while eating, could it be that there was something troublesome in the court to deal with the fourth master, she thought about it, her face was full of confusion, as Hongxuan's child grew older, it was not easy for her to go in and out of the backyard often, and it became more and more difficult for her to understand the movements outside, especially the news in the court!

However, she saw that the fourth master was distracted, but she didn't bother, she should pick up the dishes for the fourth master, and add soup to the fourth master, serving the fourth master to have dinner in this state of wandering in the world, and whispered to Shilan to tiptoe to clean up the leftovers on the dining table, regardless of whether the fourth master was still sitting at the round table and stunned, beckoning to Xiao Qi, and directly beckoning Xiao Qi into the inner room to whisper.

When the hall was completely quiet, the fourth master, who was still holding the bowl, finally came back to his senses.

He put the rice bowl on the table, and did not stay in the hall, looking for the subtle sound in the inner room, and came over with long legs to join in the fun, and even gave up the habit of practicing calligraphy for decades, he looked at the mother and daughter who were sitting side by side on the beauty couch and talking, and casually carried the somewhat hot teapot to add a cup of tea for himself, sipped his mouth shallowly, moistened his throat, suppressed the greasy feeling in his throat, and joked with a smile: "I didn't know how to say hello when I saw my master wandering, and I kidnapped my little Gege away!"

"I know that you have a lot of things to worry about, how dare Xiao Qi and I disturb you casually, and we can't sit at the table all the time to accompany you in a daze, so I have to let you think about things by yourself, and we two came to the inner room to talk!" Erfu smiled, left Xiaoqi to sit on the beauty couch, got up and came to the round table made of the half-moon table, pulled over an embroidery pier and sat down, and replied indifferently, in fact, the fourth master who returned to the backyard was not much different from ordinary men, he didn't like to make a cold face, and he wouldn't put on any prince's score, otherwise she wouldn't like a man with rat tails so easily, she is an out-and-out member of the physiognomy association!

Xiao Qi has been tired of being around the fourth master since he was a child, and when he saw that Erfu was sitting at the round table and talking to the fourth master, he was not willing to be lonely and came over, and asked with a smile: "Amma, E-niang just said that she plans to choose two good shops for me and Sister Mo Yaqi in Beijing as dowries, let me think about how to take care of the shops after I get them in my hands to avoid sitting on the mountain, do you have any good suggestions for me?"

When she was still young, she didn't understand the meaning of the dowry, and she didn't understand the shyness of a girl when it came to the dowry, and all her thoughts were about how to show her sense of existence in front of her own Amma.

However, when Xiao Qi asked like this, he really stumped the fourth master.

As a candidate for the crown prince, he followed the great Confucian scholars to study the ability to govern the country and the country, and also followed Emperor Kangxi to learn how to control the ministers, but he never learned how to make money, after all, the imperial court taxes are all worried about by household officials, and he has the daily expenses of his own small family, as well as Chen Fu, Zhang Bao and Fu Nai went to worry, he only needed to focus all his energy on how to gain a firm foothold in the court, and suddenly let him think of a profitable deal, he said that the pressure was great, but Xiao Qi was still looking at himself with anticipation, he couldn't admit that he was not good at this, so he took out the work of playing Tai Chi with the courtiers, pretending to deeply stroke the green beard under his chin, and said indifferently: " Since this is a test given to you by your mother, how can Ama intervene, why don't you think about it yourself, and when you have an idea, Amma will help you refer to it in detail!"

Xiao Qi, who has great trust in the fourth master, never thought that the fourth master was shirking and prevaricating himself, blinked his apricot core eyes that were very similar to Erfu, nodded with a smile, snapped his fingers, and responded in a coquettish voice: "Okay, then Xiao Qi has to think about it well, Xiao Qi wants to make more money, buy beautiful beaded jewelry for Eniang, and buy paperweight jade pendants for Amma!"

"Then Ama is waiting for Xiao Qi to earn money to buy paperweights for Amma.

It just so happened that the pair of enamel copper-fetal lion paperweights in the Ama book case were asked by Hongxuan, and Ama was worried that he didn't know what paperweight to use to replace it!" The fourth master was also happy to cooperate, stroked his beard, and cooperated with a smile on his face.

Only Erfu shook his head speechlessly, secretly worried about Xiao Qi's future.

Why is this Xiaoqi so easy to be fooled, not to mention how many people are holding babies outside to please the fourth master, just saying that the treasures in the fourth master's private library are countless, where will there be any lack of paperweights, but think about being able to wear Xiaoqi to make money to buy the bead flowers to honor himself, how can this heart be sweet, no wonder her father and mother at that time liked to show off the small gifts they gave to them with friends and colleagues, this feeling is really a little proud, even if Xiao Qi promised to give her pearl flowers or castles in the air!

It is rare to have this kind of opportunity for a family of three to sit together and gossip and chat, the three of them cherish it, and the topic is getting farther and farther, and the more and more partial, until the moonlight outside is sprinkled all over the courtyard, and the sky is completely dark, Erfu and the fourth master are a little reluctant to send Xiao Qi out of the room, and have been sending Xiao Qi to the outside of Tingyuzhai, and then they turned around and returned to the main courtyard to speak, but that feeling can not be found, Erfu twisted his brows a little unhappily, and muttered: " This rule is really strange, a good child has to move out of the courtyard where his parents live, and lead a group of maids to live in another yard alone, and he is afraid at night and does not know who to cry to!"

"It's been a few years since this Xiao Qi and you lived separately, why don't you get used to it!" The fourth master only felt angry and funny, this little girl in his own house is really easy to be emotional, obviously they have been living separately for a few years, why is he suddenly sad today, but listening to Erfu say this, he also feels that Xiao Qi led the maid to live alone in Tingyuzhai, it seems that he is really pitiful, especially when he recalls the back of Xiao Qi walking alone to the depths of Tingyuzhai's courtyard just now...... Well, the fourth master was completely distorted by Erfu.

In the end, he is a man, he has no heart and lungs, and these two courtyards live in the same way as the original one living in the main courtyard and the other living in the cross-courtyard.

When Erfu heard this, she rolled her eyes angrily, but thinking that she wanted to move the yard for Xiao Qi, she still needed the consent of the fourth master, so she was patient and explained: " How can it be the same, at that time I lived in the West Courtyard, Xiao Qi lived in the cross-courtyard separated by a wall from the West Courtyard, said to live separately, in fact, there is a moon cave door between the two courtyards, and the moon cave door has never been locked, when it rains, I have to go over to see her completely asleep, and then go back to my own room to rest, and then it is an upstairs, A downstairs house, now I heard Yuzhai say that it is not far from the main courtyard, but if you think about how far we just turned around, I want to go to see her, this has to walk on the road for a stick of incense, if she is really afraid, where can I take care of her!"

"Then what do you want to do?" The fourth master, who was well versed in Erfu's character, knew that Erfu's words were definitely not untargeted, and he didn't beat around the bush, and asked straight to the point.

"What to do, the housekeeper who lives in the courtyard across the courtyard, that's what you arranged for me to take care of the feed more conveniently, I understand that it is your kindness, I don't plan to toss these housekeepers who have been used to living anymore, and Xiaoqi has also grown up, there should be their own yard, usually handkerchiefs handed over, they can talk more freely, so I plan to open a small door on the back wall of the main courtyard facing the position of listening to Yuzhai, so that it will be more convenient for Xiaoqi to come and go in the future, and I will have dinner here at night, and I don't need to go back to listen to Yuzhai to rest, if there is something on her side, I can also go over faster, what do you think, will there be some irregularitiesErfu smiled and asked Shilan to go to the study to find a floor plan of the Fourth Master's Mansion, pointed to the cobblestone path between the main courtyard and Tingyuzhai, and suggested softly.
