Chapter 985

Hearing this, the smugness and snickering that had been on Erfu's face disappeared in an instant.

She glared at the fourth master beside her, gritted her teeth with hatred, and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, " You don't want to send all the women in your backyard to the border camp, you like to see you live in a hug all day, but I can't help it, if I really dare to do such a thing that defies the world, not to mention whether you will turn your face and be ruthless, even if the one in the palace will not let me go, even if I can find the perfect excuse, even if I can make the whole thing airtight, but the truth is that I can't hide the ...... of any discerning person."

"Think about you men, too, is the day of three wives and four concubines so happy for you......"

"Watching the women in the backyard intrigue and conspiracy, you don't feel distressed......"

"It would be great if everyone could aim to grow old together......

The fourth master really didn't expect him to lead to so many complaints from Erfu with one sentence, he could see that Erfu was sincere when he said these words, he was not greedy for the new and forgot the old, and he was by no means a merry man who liked the beauty, but the women in the backyard were still carried to the house one by one, and there were harem ladies who came in to open the branches and leaves for him, and there were supporters from the bottom who sent them sincerely, and he had no ability to refuse these women sent by him in various names...... It's really a lot of unsatisfactory things in life!

Of course, if those poor people who are worried about how to fill their stomachs every day hear the voice of the fourth master, they will definitely spit on him in the face.

The fourth master, who was a little weak-hearted, quickly changed the topic and mentioned other things.

Seeing this, Erfu didn't bother with the fourth master about this matter, and followed the words of the fourth master, trying not to let the unpleasantness spread.

Because she knows too well that all this is the man's bad nature at work.

Three wives and four concubines, a golden house and a ...... There is no way to cure this kind of thing in any era, it can only rely on the consciousness of men, even laws, regulations, and even ethics cannot be restrained.

It's just that the more reluctant the topic to mention, the more it will come out inadvertently, just when Erfu felt that the atmosphere had gradually improved and he could breathe a sigh of relief, the fourth master somehow talked about Tong Jia's matter, "The master found that Tong Jia's body shape has changed a little, you see when you arrange a doctor to go over to take a look, if there is a problem, take a look, if you are pregnant, don't let her hide it." ”

"It's amazing. Erfu was annoyed at first, and then looked at the fourth master's legs with teasing eyes, and muttered.

"What are you talking nonsense this girl is talking about!" the fourth master adjusted his posture a little uncomfortably and asked rhetorically.

Erfu smiled and withdrew the eyes that fell between the legs of the fourth master, beckoned to the fourth master beside him, lowered his voice, and reminded: "After you banned Da Li before, I used to see her, and she later told me with a conscience that she began to use her hands and feet in her food after Tong Jiashi entered the mansion, and now Tong Jia's is suddenly pregnant, this matter is a little strange." ”

"Tong Jia's family is from a big family, and there are a lot of capable people around him, so who can be calculated by the pig brain of the big Li family!" When the fourth master heard this, he was stunned at first, and then waved his hand with a big grin.

This is what he said in his heart, otherwise he would not let go of the Da Li family again and again.

"Okay, then I'll arrange for the Imperial Doctor to ask her for a safe pulse tomorrow.

To be honest, it's not that I can't tolerate other women in the backyard getting pregnant, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of fake pregnancy to give birth. Erfu just said it casually, thinking that the fourth master was also very reasonable, so she nodded in agreement, but she was still worried that the fourth master would misunderstand, so she explained.

"That is, how generous you are, even the ladies in the palace praise you for your generosity. The fourth master sneered unhappily.

"If Niangniang really thinks I'm generous, I won't suddenly stuff my sisters Yutong and Yuhua flowers.

Forget it, let's not mention these women in the backyard in the future, I feel like I'm on fire when I talk about it, and I can't wait to give you two slaps on the spot. After speaking, Erfu waved her hand, stopped the fourth master who was still talking, and walked straight to the inner room, she said that she needed to calm down, because she was more stimulated this day, and she obviously couldn't control her temper again, in order not to let the situation get worse and worse, the necessary distance was beautiful, and it still needed to be maintained.

The fourth master also seemed to understand Erfu's approach, and he didn't fail to catch up with the explanation, smiled and took the book that Erfu threw next to him, flipped through it unhurriedly, and raised his head from time to time to look at the movement in the inner room.

The two of them sat in the upper room one mile and one out of the place, and waited until the little palace maid outside reminded them to pass the meal, and then Erfu yawned and came to the outside room, she smiled at the fourth master a little uncomfortably, scratched her head and said: "Today, I tossed inside and out enough, and I fell asleep unconsciously while sitting on the newly dried quilt just now." ”

"It's good, I can eat and sleep, and I can rest assured. The fourth master put down the notebook in his hand and said lightly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Erfu replied with a smile, and then raised his voice to inform the palace people waiting outside to come in and set the meal.

I have to say that it is inconvenient to live in the Old Summer Palace, eating.

Because the kitchen of the Old Summer Palace is concentrated in one place, so even if it is relatively close to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, it is not as convenient as when it is in the house, and the backyard well pavilion is next to the small kitchen.

It is still a four-plate dish of two meat and two vegetables, as well as dim sum, dumplings, and rice.

After a simple dinner, the fourth master took Erfu, who wanted to nest in the Luohan bed and read the book, to Luyinxuan to find Xiaoqi, and called Hongxuan, who was practicing calligraphy in Lin Xuguijing's endorsement, and walked around the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and also told Su Peisheng to prepare a few kites with great interest, and made an appointment to take the children to the garden to fly kites in a few days, and then dragged the listless Erfu back to the upper room of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion to wash and rest.

After a long day's tossing and turning, Erf fell asleep as soon as she dipped her head on the pillow.

"I can really eat and sleep. Putting down the bed curtain, the fourth master, who was going to get close to Erfu, shook his head with a wry smile.

But with Erfu by his side, he doesn't have to do something he loves to do, quietly hug each other and sleep, the fourth master also likes it very much, the fourth master gently adjusted his posture, carefully took Erfu into his arms as if holding a fragile glass doll, and tucked the quilt for Erfu, raised his head and dropped a kiss on Erfu's eyebrows, and closed his eyes.

He is no longer an energetic young man, and he is not so urgent about men and women.

And the reason why he has been doting on Erfu is due to habit, and more because he enjoys the feeling of being with Erf, which is also strange, with Erfu, a successful model, those women in the house will naturally not miss a good opportunity to learn from it, but no one can make him feel that feeling at ease and comfort, but he will feel that they are arrogant, if his temper has not improved a lot over the years, it is estimated that he would have been angry with these pretending women.

The fourth master thought about it like this, and gradually fell asleep.

————

In the blink of an eye, three days later, Erf resumed her life of eating rice worms waiting to die.

In addition to seeing the little eunuch who delivered the account book in the house, she was more often walking with Yujie in the garden.

Compared with the Old Summer Palace, which was still very shabby during the reign of Yongzheng in history, although the current Old Summer Palace does not have the grandeur and beauty of the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens, it has gradually revealed its scale, exquisite everywhere, and beautiful scenery step by step, plus the area is not too large, and it has more of the taste of Jiangnan gardens.

"I plan to come over at the end of autumn and let people build a water pavilion in Qianhu, hollowed out all around, with a waterwheel next to it, so that when the fourth master comes to the Old Summer Palace in the summer to escape the heat, he can discuss with the staff in the cool and pleasant water pavilion, what do you think!" Erfu, who was sitting in the pavilion in front of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, pointed to the front lake not far away, squinted his eyes slightly, and sketched a strange building on the stone table with tea with a smile, and explained softly and Yujie.

"The master's idea is exquisite, but I'm afraid that ordinary craftsmen won't be able to do this work. Yujie echoed with a smile.

"It's okay, come a little bit, if you can't do it, I will spend money to invite craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come and get it. Erfu said disapprovingly, she believed in the skills of craftsmen in this era more than Yujie, and it was no wonder that this was the case, because she had seen too many skilled craftsmen, and she had also seen the restoration of the Old Summer Palace in later generations, and knew that it was definitely not as difficult to build this kind of water pavilion suspended on the lake as she imagined.

"In fact, the slave has always had something to say to her master. Speaking of this, Yu Jie glanced at Erfu with some hesitation, Erfu smiled and waved her hand, signaling her to be casual, Yujie then plucked up her courage and continued, "You are really not smart enough to subsidize your own private money and dowry interest in the mansion to repair this kind of thing, it is better to collect a few more staff for Brother Hongxuan as soon as possible!"

"Of course, the slave is dull, or it may be that the slave is too petty. But even so, Yujie was still afraid that this would be too straightforward and anger Erf, who was in a good mood, so she hurriedly made up for it.

"As the old saying goes, good men don't eat family meals, and good women don't wear wedding clothes.

Although I want to try to leave more money for Hongxuan and them as capital, I don't want them to rely on the things left by me and the fourth master to live, that is really too unproductive, and Hongxuan's child's academic affairs are to worry about the fourth master, I really have no place to do it, and I am really not good at this. Regarding the matter of raising children, Erfu did a big deal, she smiled and held her cheeks, looked in the direction of the lake in front of her, and said softly.

"Master, Takami. Yujie replied casually, she still didn't quite understand Erfu's approach.

It's no wonder that she thinks it's strange for Erfu to fill up the money for things like repairing the Fourth Master's Mansion and the Old Summer Palace.

Because the dowry of women in this era is an independent part of the property completely separated from the husband's property, and it will eventually be handed over to the children to inherit, or returned to the family, generally no woman will use the dowry to supplement the man's family, unless the man's family is in the middle, and the man's own property is no longer enough to support the family expenses, so that as the housewife will use the dowry to make up for it, so as not to think that the housewife has no way to govern the house, and it will affect the reputation of the housewife outside, but even so, the woman will not subsidize a lot of private money to repair the courtyard of the house。

This is the difference in life caused by the evolution of the times.

In Erfu's view, the Fourth Master's Mansion is the home of the Fourth Master, and it is also her home, and it is really normal for her to buy some home furnishings for the family as the hostess, but this home is a little too big, the population is also a little large, and there are more guests, but these can't stop her from wanting to make the Fourth Master's Mansion and the Old Summer Palace more comfortable.

With that, Erf smiled and took out the map hidden in his sleeve.

This is a floor plan the size of a double bed after unfolding, depicting the floor plan of the Old Summer Palace, which she specially asked for from the fourth master two days ago, but now there are too many places on this map that are empty, some of the locations are rockeries built by craftsmen according to the original local style of the Old Summer Palace, some are real open spaces, planted with flowers and plants that she can't recognize, and some locations are wilderness meadows that have been enclosed in the scope of the Old Summer Palace and there are no buildings, these locations are all places where Erf wants to fill up with buildings。

It's just that the construction of the Old Summer Palace is a big expense that can shake the national treasury, and she can only come a little bit.

Of course, she has a more important point that she can't explain clearly to Yujie.

The Old Summer Palace is the garden of ten thousand gardens, the pinnacle of the Qing Dynasty architectural history, but when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing and burned down the Old Summer Palace that cost hundreds of millions of taels of silver, it still did not prevent future generations from scolding the arrogance and lasciviousness of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and now the heir of Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Yongzheng, has become her husband, and Hongxuan, who is most likely to be selected as the heir by Emperor Yongzheng, is her son, of course, she does not want anyone to attack the fourth master and Hongxuan in the future, and she just has the ability to fund the construction of the Old Summer Palace, as a wife and mother, it is naturally her duty to take on this responsibility that does not belong to her。

Of course, she can also choose not to repair the Old Summer Palace, because she is not a person who cares too much about pleasure, but God knows if the emperors of later generations will have the kind of loser who wants to be a perfect old man, and whether he will drill out another Heshen, in order to prevent trouble, and in order to let the fourth master, Emperor Yongzheng, who has not yet ascended the throne, have a garden that matches his identity after ascending the throne, how can she, a good wife, pick the door, so ......

It's just that even so, every time she thinks of the thousands of silver, she still feels distressed.

Fortunately, she didn't want to build the Old Summer Palace to the most magnificent and beautiful time, a little bit of repair, year by year, plus the Ministry of Internal Affairs to understand the character of the fourth master, and did not dare to increase the price and do shoddy things...... Therefore, the cost of this pen is still within her ability and psychological tolerance.

Thinking about spending money like flowing water, Erfu was a little congested, and she was not in the mood to tell Yujie about her ambitions, so she smiled and gathered the map, stuffed it back into her sleeve, glanced at the sunset outside that had gradually fallen into the treetops, and said softly: "Today, Hongxuan and they are going to barbecue in the open space behind Luyinxuan, let's go over early!"
