Chapter 979
Chapter 979
The first person to notice that Erfu's mood was wrong was the fourth master who was sitting next to him drinking tea.
He sat in the hall with a golden sword, twisted his eyebrows and looked at Erf, who was obviously panicked, and sighed in his heart.
Because this scene is so familiar.
In his memory, it was the first time that the old fourteen put on heavy armor and entered the palace to say goodbye to Concubine De, at that time, Concubine De's reaction was similar to the current Erfu, with a little pride and pride in his son's success, but mixed with too many worries and worries, that is, at that time he began to dislike to go to Yonghe Palace, because he felt that Concubine De did not regard him as a son, because at that time, among the people who entered the palace with the old fourteen, there were also he, the four princes, but Concubine De Niangniang didn't look at him, so she put all her attention on the old fourteen, at that moment, his heart was full of bitterness and loss。
"Okay, it's almost time, and the two kids can't wait to go out and show their talents, so let's stay on the road and say whatever we want. The fourth master, who didn't want to see more of this scene, forcibly suppressed the waves in his heart, walked quickly to Erfu's side, pulled Erfu who was still talking, and said lightly.
When Erfu heard this, he glared at the fourth master a little unhappily, but he also nodded and agreed.
She asked Shilan to take out the prepared luggage, and personally checked the clothes and accessories of the two children, then took the cloak held by Shiqing and put it on her shoulder, and sat on the back of the horse that was as white as snow waiting at the gate of the Old Summer Palace.
Stepping on the snow, the mount carefully selected by the fourth master for her has a docile personality and a beautiful figure.
To tell the truth, if she just kept Treading Snow as a pet, Erfu would have liked this beauty with long eyelashes at first sight, but when she thought of sitting on horseback, she felt the feeling of rootlessness under her feet again, and even though she knew that the horse slaves serving next to her were all good horse trainers, she still felt flustered and sweaty palms and couldn't lift her legs.
Seeing that Xiao Qidu had neatly turned over on the horse, she finally sat on the horseback with the help of the fourth master, and suddenly felt the different angle of sight, a little fresh, she pulled the reins, as if pulling a life-saving straw, fortunately, the vicinity of the Old Summer Palace is a royal garden, sitting on the back of a high horse, looking around, the flat road paved with loess, and the experienced manu next to her to take care of it, which made her heart a lot easier, but even so, the sentence she said the most along the way was still' Don't run too fast, slower, slower, slower', and by the time she stumbled and stumbled on the stirrups to the small Qingxi where she had a lunch break, Xiao Qi and Hongxuan, the two children, had already commanded the palace people to set up camp.
For Erfu, it is not easy to get on the horse, and it is even more difficult to get off the horse, but in front of so many palace people, she is embarrassed to let the fourth master come over to help, so she can only hold the saddle and not let go, and try to maintain a very peaceful bearing, in fact, her heart is already in a hurry, thanks to Xiao Qi's reminder from the fourth master, she noticed Erfu, who was sitting on the back of the horse and sweating profusely, and hurriedly greeted her and reached out to help Erfu.
It's a pity that Erfu, who trusts the fourth master, doesn't believe Xiao Qi very much, looking at Xiao Qi's thin and small appearance, she shook her head very affirmatively, she was really afraid that she didn't stand firm with Xiao Qi's help, but took Xiao Qi to the ground, then she would lose her face.
"Come over and help Xiao Qi, Ama looks at your Eniang is afraid of making a fool of herself in front of people, there is a small forest over there, you ride a horse to bring your Eniang over, and then help your Eniang down with Xiao Qi, hurry up, if it's too late, your Eniang will cry urgently." Obviously I don't understand why Erfu shook his head and refused to come down, Xiao Qi is not as good as the fourth master, the fourth master is just sitting next to him and looking, so he also knows what Erfu is worried about, he secretly greeted Hongxuan, who was drinking horses, and explained in a low voice.
When Hongxuan heard this, he said secretly: My own Ama cares about Eniang very carefully.
He touched the mount that was not rested with some distress, and then looked at Erfu, who couldn't get off the horse, nodded and turned over and sat on the horse's back, drove the horse, stomped to Erfu with small steps, and according to the instructions of the fourth master, led Erfu and her mount to the small pine forest next to him, and it was very difficult to support Erfu who was weak side by side with Xiaoqi.
Feeling this down-to-earth sense of security again, Erfu smiled reluctantly, twisted his uncompetitive legs again, and sighed: "It's really not that Eniang is timid, it's really too high." ”
"E-niang, you should go out with us more in the future. Xiao Qi smiled and held Erfu, who had weak legs and walked fluttering, pointed to the green grass under his feet, and said in a coquettish voice, "You see, the wild scenery outside here is not as exquisite and gorgeous as the elaborate carvings in the house, but listening to the insects and birds in the ears, I always feel more real and wonderful." ”
"You have seen too little.
The high courtyard walls, the bluestone paved paths, and the life of every brick and tile are full of ingenuity, make you feel that the most common scenery of this countryside is rare, if you are really on the ocean, looking at the waves of the sea, listening to the low chirping of seagulls in your ears, you must not jump up with excitement. Erph looked speechlessly at the uneven green grass under his feet, and then at the verdant cypress shrouded in mist on the side of the mountain, and sighed speechlessly.
Don't look at her afraid of horseback riding, and it seems that she rarely walks outside, but she once lived in the modern era with convenient transportation, which allows her to enjoy different scenery than most ancient people, because of this, she really doesn't think that there is anything to be proud of in this wilderness place, on green grass, here is not as good as the grassland where the wind blows the grass to see cattle and sheep, and when it comes to others, here is not as good as the forest park of later generations, in short, this is the most ordinary countryside, the scenery is ordinary, the environment is ordinary, and the only place that is not ordinary is that the air is really good.
The journey from the small pine forest to the river was enough for Erf to overcome her fears.
When she appeared in front of people again, she had re-become the dignified and appropriate Chang Fujin, with steps like a ruler under her feet, with an elegant and calm smile at the corner of her mouth, and a cluster of colorful wildflowers in her hand, more fairy, more elegant and charming temperament, and the eyes of the fourth master were straight, so she raised her hand to hand over the wild flowers to Shilan, and instructed Shilan to find a suitable vase to insert and leave it for lunch, and decorate the felt blanket spread on the ground.
"I'm tired!" The fourth master smiled and poured a cup of hot tea prepared by the palace people for Erfu, sent it to Erfu's hand, and wiped Erfu's sweat with a handkerchief, and asked softly.
Barely maintained the last trace of elegance, and sat on the Taishi chair that the palace people had set up like flowing water, Erfu breathed a sigh of relief, don't look at her very elegant movements just now, but in fact, she was uncomfortable with back pain and leg cramps, but there were too many onlookers, if she was asked to bend over and move over with her wish, she really couldn't do it, and she was also thanks to the fourth master who came over to help her in time, otherwise she was really afraid that she would not be able to hold on.
Asked by the fourth master's warm words, Erfu shook his head with a wry smile, and complained softly: "Tired is not tired, I have been sitting on the back of the horse, so tired that I am a horse slave who leads the horse to trot all the way in front, but I am sitting on the back of the horse, but it is not comfortable, especially this leg is not as if it is not my own, the newly made saddle feels soft and comfortable, but sitting on it, the taste is not much better than being tortured, it is really difficult for you to travel all day long and have to straddle the horse." ”
"It's good to get used to it, when the children of the Eight Banners were outside the gate, they all grew up on horseback, and they were already able to run around with their families at a young age, compared to those ancestors, but we are the descendants, who are already too squeamish, not to mention others, that is, if the master rides a horse for a long time, this body is unbearable. When the fourth master heard this, he smiled faintly, and instructed the palace people to bring the prepared wet cloth for Erfu to wipe his face, and waited for Erfu to drink tea and ease his strength, and then said with a smile.
Erfu shrugged her shoulders with a wry smile on her face, she really couldn't keep up with the mentality of the fourth master who was worried about the country and the people all the time, but having such an emperor was a blessing for all the people, so she didn't plan to change the habit of the fourth master who seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, she saw that the people in the palace were busy, adjusted her movements slightly, knocked on her sore back with her backhand, and proposed to go to the tent to rest for a while, but before she finished speaking, Xiao Qi and Hongxuan had already screamed loudly.
This is the habit of being a mother, the child said hello, obviously so tired that his fingers were unwilling to move, but he would still rush over to see it neatly, she came to Xiao Qi who was screaming with spirit, and said with concern: "What's wrong?"
"E-niang, look, look at what Hongxuan's stupid boy is carrying!" Xiao Qi heard this, and jumped behind Erfu with a swoop like a spirit monkey, poked his head out, stretched out his hand and pointed to the small porcelain box in Hongxuan's hand, and reminded with a frightened face.
Erfu followed Xiao Qi's fingers and looked at the sky speechlessly.
The small porcelain box with pastel glaze, a good thing produced by the official kiln, has become a guy style used by Hongxuan to hold bait, this is not the most important, but Hongxuan's bait is too down-to-earth, in the black mud, a few fat and fat earthworms, are rolling and moving freely in the meantime, the appearance is really not good-looking, at least Erfu only glanced at it, and then moved her eyes to the side, not that she felt that the earthworm was a little dirty, she just instinctively did not like this way of arching around, which always reminded her of another cold-blooded animal- Snakes.
Just imagining, she unconsciously got goosebumps.
"Where did you get this?" asked Erph, holding back her discomfort.
"Gao Zheng came from the old man who took care of the flowers and trees in the flower room, and I heard that it can be dug at the root of the flower, and the children of the common people use this thing to fish, I want to try it. Hongxuan didn't have any worries about this, he fixed the robe on the jade belt around his waist, squatted on a relatively flat big bluestone by the stream, and put the earthworm that was still arching and moving on the fish hook with a somewhat clumsy movement, washed his hands with the water in the stream, and said with a smile.
"Then play slowly, but be careful, there is moss on the rocks by this stream, and you should be careful to slip. Erfu silently looked at the empty bamboo basket beside Hongxuan, and quickly evacuated the battlefield with a simple explanation, and returned to the fourth master to drink tea, not that she didn't want to watch Hongxuan fishing, and share the joy of the moment when she caught the fish, but it was that the porcelain box containing earthworm bait was too easy to attract her attention, just for a while, she had several layers of goosebumps, and then stood by the stream, she was afraid that she would not be able to help screaming.
The fourth master, who was leading Su Peisheng slowly around the camp, looked at Erfu who greeted him and Xiao Qi who followed closely behind Erfu, looked back at Hongxuan who was squatting by the stream fishing, and asked curiously: "What's the matter, I see that Hongxuan's guy is very well prepared, he was already planning to fish when he was in the house, why didn't you wait a while with the child, this fishing is a test of patience, you are not afraid that as soon as you walk on the front foot, he will be impatient!"
Because in the fourth master's opinion, fishing is a more patient activity, Erfu should be very interested, and Erfu likes to get together with children, which is something that everyone in the house knows, at this time he suddenly saw Erfu abandon Hongxuan and return to his side, let Hongxuan squat alone by the stream to fish, which is obviously not in line with Erfu's habits, naturally the fourth master is not curious.
Erfu smiled and shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, Xiao Qi replied first: "Brother Hongxuan is fishing with a small snake over there, it's really scared to death, you have to take care of Brother Hongxuan, he likes to fish, and he can't use such a dangerous thing as bait." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's an earth dragon, an animal that lives in the soil, it has a certain medicinal value, if you have read some medical books, you should know what the earth dragon is. Seeing that the fourth master's face changed and was about to pass, Erfu hurriedly explained, she didn't expect Xiao Qi to even know the earthworm, but after thinking about it, she understands, the earthworm is not suitable for pets, and there is no article that specifically describes the earthworm, how can Xiao Qi, who has been pampered since childhood, know this most inconspicuous little animal.
"Since it's not a snake, why does E-Niang break out in a cold sweat!" Xiao Qi obviously didn't know the earthworm animal, and she screamed because she accidentally saw the stinky sludge in such a delicate box, and then she would turn around and run away in fright, and it was also the goosebumps that came out of the back of Erfu's neck that misled her, so she was stunned when she heard Erfu's explanation at this time, she really couldn't understand why her E-niang was so panicked since this little animal was harmless.
In this regard, Erfu's old face flushed, she looked at the fourth master next to her, who also showed a curious look, and cleared her throat uncomfortably, and replied casually with a bit of perfunctory: "Eniang just thinks that the appearance of the earth dragon arching in the mud is a bit similar to the movement of the snake, so she is a little uncomfortable." After saying that, she touched her nose so that she would not admit to the child that she was afraid of all kinds of little bugs.
"Hahaha. Xiao Qi didn't understand the emptiness in Erfu's eyes, but the fourth master understood, thinking about Erfu's appearance of screaming when he saw a caterpillar, he laughed unconsciously.
Immediately, he was about to restrain his laughter when he felt the murderous aura coming from his side.
