In a blink of an eye, he got up early the next day, and the fourth master got up before dawn as usual, and put on the splendid prince's dress. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Take good care of your master. As usual, he commanded when he was about to go out, and then somehow he remembered the lily of the valley that was locked in the firewood room, and said one more sentence, "Your master is a kind-hearted person who can't bear to hurt people's lives, but you should understand the truth of cutting grass without eradicating the roots, and you should go to the front yard to find Zhang Bao in a while, and let him find someone to enter the house and take Lily of the valley away, it is best to let the minions all over the yard see this scene, so that they can have a long memory." With that, he turned his head to look at Erf, who was asleep on the bed, and walked out.
The girl has finally grown up.
When Echo woke up, it was already the third day of the day.
Tomorrow is the full moon ceremony of the sixth elder brother of Dong E's family, although the fourth master told not to make a big deal, but it is inevitable to invite relatives and friends to come over for a meal, for this banquet, the needlework has been busy for a month, and finally several female masters in the house have rushed to make new clothes for the occasion, and what is sent to Erfu is a flopel flag with hibiscus brocade gold silk embroidered peacock pattern, which is matched with a pair of flower pot bottom embroidered shoes inlaid with pigeon egg size East beads.
The housekeeper also specially sent a set of red gold dotted emerald phoenix hairpins and pendant beads to shake inside, Erfu didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and put on new clothes after a simple wash, she stood in front of the tall dressing mirror, looked at the beautiful face of the orchid in the mirror, raised her hand and stroked her lower abdomen, and sighed.
Xiaoliu, if the Jiu'er she came out of hadn't died, this should have been his ranking.
Although the fourth master dotes on her and really loves the dragon and phoenix fetus who has passed away, she has to follow the rules of her ancestors, and she can't leave the rankings of Jiu'er and Xiaojiu for her, and even the unordered teeth that only leave a few words on the jade.
Now that there is a new little sixth elder brother in the house, when I mention the little sixth in the future, it should be the little elder brother born to Dong E's family, although she understands that she should not be angry with innocent children, and can make her happy for Dong E's and the newborn little brother, she still can't do it, and it is inevitable that there is something bad in her heart.
She hastily tried on the new clothes, and she sighed.
Erfu beckoned the girl to change into a homely robe for herself, tied her long hair in a braided braid, and walked to the side room with a plain face.
The East Wing is still the East Wing.
It's just that there are no traces of Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er's life for a long time, and there are more than an inch of ironwood boards blocking the window door, looking through the gaps, on the Bogu shelves on the top of the shed, there are the makeup and rare objects that she brought into the house and the rare objects that the fourth master rewarded, she didn't even look at it, and then her attention fell on the carved mahogany table placed on the very side.
On the table, spotless, two sets of small clothes neatly arranged.
This is the set of brocade clothes worn by Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er during the full moon ceremony, she feels sorry for the children's delicate skin, so the small clothes prepared for the children are simple clothes of muslin and linen, this is the only set of gorgeous clothes for the two little guys, at that time she was afraid that the gorgeous brocade mixed with gold and silver silk would hurt the delicate skin of the children, so she specially let the children make a muslin lining inside, then she never let the children wear more of this clothes, but let the fourth master hold it to show off in front of it, and when the children were sent back to the West Courtyard, they took off the clothes and threw them into the corner of the cabinet to fall into the ashes。
Now that I think about it, I regret it.
After cleaning up the two little guys' things, she found that there was not even a thing to express her sorrow, so she had to let people find this set of brocade clothes embroidered with dragons and phoenixes and put them on the innermost table in the warehouse.
It sounded a little superstitious, but that's all she could do.
As a mother, she failed to protect her children, she was too much of a failure, she couldn't even avenge her children, she could do too little for her children.
Noticing that Erfu's mood was a little low, the girl hurriedly glanced at Xue Mei, stepped forward with a smile, and suggested softly to divert Erfu's attention: "Master, before the fourth master goes to the court, he specially asked the small kitchen to prepare the white fungus lotus seed porridge prepared for you, you might as well eat some while it's hot." ”
"Leave it alone, and walk with me in the garden. Erph shook her head.
She really has no appetite now, if it weren't for the fact that the dust in the east wing was a little big, and there were more things, she was afraid of hurting the child in her belly, she planned to go in and sit for a while, even if she touched the clothes that the children had wore, it would be excellent.
The small garden in the west courtyard, Changchun in all seasons.
The low evergreens were pruned by skilled craftsmen in different shapes, dotted with delicate flowers cultivated in the flower house, and if it weren't for the chill in the wind, Erph would have thought that she was in the middle of spring, and she slowly exhaled and her mood improved a little.
Ya'er also pointed to the begonia flowers not far away, don't look at it is already winter, but the begonias watered with hot spring water will still bloom from time to time, and there are florists who send begonia flowers from the flower room every day to fill with flower bones, so look at the past at this time, it is still very eye-catching, "Master, you see how well this begonia flowers bloom, why don't you cut a few hairpins for you to wear?"
"You can do it, just don't hurt the rhizome!" Erfu doesn't care, she doesn't value the flowers and plants in the garden very much, she is not a very interesting character, and she can't do such delicate work as serving flowers and plants, if she is according to her nature, she will probably shovel all the flowers and plants in this small backyard, and then plant a row of evergreen pines and cypresses around the courtyard wall, and then plant two weeping willows in front of the wall in front of the moon cave door in front of the hood, and the rest of the place will be spread on the lawn, dotted with common flowers and plants in the countryside, and forget it.
Looking at the unrealistically beautiful precious flowers and trees in front of her, she felt tired and panicked.
Erfu led Ya'er and Xuemei to walk around the small garden twice, holding a bouquet of cut flowers in their arms, and then returned to the upper room, the faint fragrance of flowers filled the room, she twisted her brows with a little dislike, and told Ya'er to go to the back to pass the food, turned her head to Xuemei, who was fiddling with the vase, and whispered: "You go and ask Imperial Doctor Hu to come and ask me for peace pulse." ”
This fetus is not good, she is also extra careful, even the spices used on weekdays have been put away, if it is not for the cold in winter, it is too hard to rely on the earth dragon to keep warm, she even charcoal basin, The smoke cage is not going to be placed in the room, God knows if anyone has done anything when those red basket charcoals are burning, she is so cautious this time, and invited Imperial Doctor Hu to come over to ask for pulse, but also to see if these flowers are suitable for placing in the room, and at the same time, she also wants Imperial Doctor Hu to check the things around her, especially the dress that is going to be worn to attend the full moon banquet of the little sixth elder brother, and has been plotted many times, Erfu feels too insecure.
However, she is not without preparation, Erfu specially asked the doctor in her own pharmacy to train two little maids who are proficient in medical skills, and after half a year, it is estimated that she will be able to come to serve by her side, and when the time comes, she will be able to breathe a sigh of relief, and she will not have to trouble Doctor Hu to run to the inner courtyard for three days.
Thinking like this, she tilted her neck and looked at the clouds and mist and Qinglan waiting outside.
She entrusted Bai Jiao to investigate the affairs of these two girls privately, and she didn't know how to do it, if the net worth of these two girls was innocent and credible, she planned to promote these two girls to first-class palace maids, and in the future, she would be on an errand with her own side, it was better than keeping the eyes of the head concubine in the palace by her side.
Yesterday, Bai Jiao sent a flower note, and specially told her the origin of Xuemei, this Xuemei is not an ordinary person, her father is the housekeeper of Concubine De's family, and her mother is a close-up maid who grew up with Concubine De, she has never done any rough work since she was a child, and when she was twelve years old, she happened to be in the picture of Concubine De who went home to save her relatives, and she followed the female gentleman to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and invited the old lady in the palace to teach the rules。
It's just that no one thought that the fourth master actually ignored Xue Mei, but sent her to the West Courtyard as an errand, and was picked by Erfu to serve by chance by chance, if it weren't for Erfu accidentally discovering that Xuemei's words and deeds were not quite the same as the palace maids adjusted by the Internal Affairs Office, and specially commissioned Bai Jiao to investigate, she really couldn't imagine that Xuemei's origin was so special.
From the fact that she knew that Xue Mei was the person who was trained by Concubine De to serve the fourth master, she didn't like Xue Mei to follow her, although she didn't drive Xue Mei out, but she didn't like Xue Mei to show up in front of the fourth master, if Yunwu and Qinglan were credible, she was ready to arrange Xue Mei to serve Xiao Qi, and wanted to come to the fourth master's temperament, even if Xue Mei behaved actively, no matter how much Concubine De dealt with it, he would not touch the palace maid who was waiting for his daughter.
Good or bad, Erph despised himself a little in his heart.
After a while, the girl who went to the back to deliver the food came back with Yaoqin carrying the food box.
"Don't let the people behind you come into the room in the future. Erfu seemed to look at Yaoqin with some displeasure, turned her head and instructed Xuemei to reward a small silver bill, and scolded Ya'er in front of Yaoqin, of course she didn't like Yaoqin to come to the room, she was afraid that others would notice Yaoqin, the former palace maid, after all, even if Yaoqin changed her hair accessories and her makeup was older, but if you look closely at people who are familiar with it, you can still see Yaoqin's original appearance, which is also a helpless thing, there is no plastic surgery technology in this era, and long-term disappearance will cause the skin on Yaoqin's face to rot, she can't always watch Yaoqin hurt her face with a good girl, so I can only let Yaoqin use makeup to make do for the time being, fortunately, the small kitchen is full of smoke all day long, and it is not easy for people to notice Yaoqin, but if Yaoqin often goes in and out of the upper room, it will be dangerous.
The nails that were finally arranged, Erfu didn't want to waste the fourth master's efforts in vain.
was reprimanded by Erfu coldly, Ya'er hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake, Yaoqin also knelt down with Ya'er, but seeing that Erfu didn't even bother to look at her, she waved her hand to urge her to take off, so she had to retreat in a proper manner, but the grievances on her face couldn't be covered, so that the other servants and cooks in the small kitchen were all ridiculed, laughing at her for not taking a picture of the horse's ass, but when the master was pregnant, she deserved to be slapped in the face.
But it's wrong, Yaoqin, who was disgusted by Erfu, instantly narrowed the distance between the other cooks and servants, and a few old women who were more excluded from her before even regarded her as a confidant and talked about the private affairs of each courtyard, and even the fact that the Wulanala clan in the main courtyard cursed Erfu and Li Fangfujin in front of the Buddha every day reached Yaoqin's ears.
Erfu, who only ate two mouthfuls of porridge and put off her chopsticks, still had a black face, she twisted her eyebrows and looked at the girl who was about to speak, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not in a good mood today, don't come to me, I'll call you over to serve if there's something." ”
With that, she turned and walked to the study in the west room.
Copying scriptures is the most common thing that women in ancient times did to pass the time.
However, Erfu copied the scriptures, definitely not to pass the time, I don't know if it was because the full moon ceremony of the little sixth elder brother in the house stimulated her, she has been thinking about the two little guys in her heart, and her mind flashed like a movie The picture of the little ones crying or laughing, so that she can't calm down in her heart, a stream of evil fire, and she feels unpleasant to see anything, even Doctor Hu asked her to report the good news that the fetus was completely stable, she didn't feel how happy, but felt very upset, if it weren't for the girl who was still vigilant, she was prepared early with the silver coin for the reward, she even forgot the reward。
One stroke at a time, the words are neat.
She rubbed her sour eyes and arms, threw the pen dipped in ink into the wash, looked at the copied pages of scriptures, and ordered the girl to take the brazier, which was immediately incinerated into pieces of ashes, and then washed the ink stains on her hands, turned back to the east room, and rested on the Arhat bed by the window.
After a while, Erfu, who had drunk the fetal pills, fell asleep with a brocade quilt.
It turned out that Imperial Doctor Hu found that Erfu was anxious, and Erfu's current body was not suitable for taking a decoction to dispel fire and clear the heart, so he added a calming medicine to the tocolytic medicine she drank every day, so that she could sleep well and calm down.
In the dream, Erfu met Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er as she wished.
When she woke up, she wiped the tears that ran down her cheeks, hooked her lips and smiled.
