Chapter 288: Blind Date
Chapter 288
In the end, the marriage date of Song Shuming's two sons, Song Zilin and Song Zizhang, Yujie and Yulan, was set for May 26, and Erfu's dowry house was married, and Song Shuming was married into Song Shuming's separate courtyard in the fourth master's mansion.
In order to show his compassion for his subordinates, the fourth master rewarded Song Zilin and Song Zizhang with two sets of small courtyards in Beicheng respectively, so that the two of them could settle down in Beijing so that they could take care of those personal affairs.
The wedding date was set here, and the tea garden in the south was inseparable from Song Shuming, Song Shuming discussed with the fourth master several times, and finally decided to go back first, and then come back to drink daughter-in-law tea when the wedding date arrived.
......
went to the main courtyard to ask Ann to come back, and Erfu was busy asking people to change into a big placket dress embroidered with green bamboo for her, and then took the shiny jewelry on her head, chose two plain silver flowing gold hairpins and put them on, and said with a smile: "Yujie, Yulan, you two go back and change into bright clothes, choose two good jewelry, dress up as beautiful as you want, follow me to the garden!"
"Master, are we really going?" asked Yujie with a tangled expression.
Since the wedding date was set, Erfu was busy, pestering the fourth master for two or three days, and finally let the fourth master relent, allowing her to lead Yujie and Yulan to secretly see the appearance of the two brothers of the Song family in the garden.
Today is the day when the fourth master saw Song Zilin and Song Zizhang in the garden, and last night Lierfu was so excited that she didn't sleep well all night, thinking about how to make Yujie and Yulan look brilliant.
After pondering for most of the night, Erph went through her clothes and jewelry in her head. specially selected a plain robe that could not be seen in the crowd, and selected two pairs of inconspicuous jewelry, and instructed Yuhan and Yuhua to take advantage of her time to go to the main courtyard to ask for peace. Carry Yujie and Yulan on your back and get ready.
It's just that I don't know where the business is going, and I want to surprise the two maids, but I don't wait for Erfu to have breakfast, and the two maids found out the clue, and I have to tell Delph that she asked for the grace of the fourth master, but who would have thought that these two maids were not only not happy, but looked worried and entangled. The reaction was really heart-wrenching.
The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.
Even though the two maids reacted differently than Erf had expected, Erf decided to drag them to the garden. Take a look at the appearance of the groom official early, let the two maids have a bottom in their hearts, and let the groom official see the excellence of Yulan and Yujie.
"Yuhan, go and dress up your two sisters!" saw the two maids still stunned. Erf couldn't help but feel a little helpless. In line with the principle of 'good people do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west', he pointed to Yuhan and commanded.
Yujie and Yulan saw that Erfu had made up their minds, so they went down the slope and returned to the house, and respectively selected a set of Hangzhou silk flags with purple embroidered grapevines and pink embroidered lotus patterns, and put a pair of beaded flowers of the same color on the heads of the little two, and then returned to Erfu with Yuhan.
"Yes, you should dress up brightly at a good age. You're just dressed too plainly!" Erph circled around the two of them, and took out a pair of nanhong and a pair of beeswax earrings from the makeup box for the two of them to wear. Only then did he nod with satisfaction and said with a smile.
Yujie and the two can be sent to the palace by the family to serve, they look good, as a big girl, they don't need to do any heavy work, and they are used to seeing big scenes, and their temperament is a little more noble than that of ordinary rich and noble ladies.
"Master......" The two maids were shy again when they heard the voice, stomped their feet, and said coquettishly.
Seeing that the time was not early, Erfu was afraid that he would miss this meeting, so he stopped teasing the two of them, and led Yujie and Yulan to the garden.
Although the fourth master agreed with Erfu's idea of seeing the groom's official, he would not lead the foreign man into the inner courtyard regardless of the rules, so the pavilion that arranged the meeting was naturally not the octagonal pavilion in the small garden of the inner courtyard, but the flower garden on the west side of the fourth master's mansion that was repaired like a Jiangnan garden, and the pavilion was also the moon pavilion on the full moon lake.
"Master, why don't we go back!" As soon as she walked into the flower garden, Magnolia, who had always been bold, withered, pulled Erfu's cuffs and didn't take a step, muttering a sentence in her mouth, so angry that Erfu couldn't wait to grab Yulan's neck and go to Lanyue Pavilion.
The most infuriating thing is that Yujie was also encouraged by the withered guy Yulan, looking at Erfu's big watery eyes, pitifully expressing the same will.
In this regard, Erfu said that he would never be embarrassed by these little things, watching the two of them stop moving, learning from the usual style of the fourth master who slanted at people, raised his chin, and sneered twice, "Since you don't want to go by yourself, then don't blame me for ignoring your face, and beckoning the rough maid to press you to go, see how you are embarrassed!"
"Master......" Yulan and Yujie cried out, secretly saying that the master in front of them was not their kind and temperamental master, he must have been possessed by something bad, maybe it was Wang Gege who made a lot of noise on Crescent Lake!
But it didn't matter what they thought in their hearts, they were still frightened by Erfu, and followed Erfu with a sad face, and walked to the pavilion where the fourth master and the two brothers of the Song family were located.
In the pavilion, the fourth master is also very helpless, he is a good soldier of the cold noodle king!
Why do you want to be an example of being close to the people, pulling the two boys of the Song family to drink tea here and blow the cold wind, the most annoying thing is that the little girl who pestered him to see if the man of the Song family is a person worthy of entrustment Why hasn't he come for so long!
The wind blew and the water waves, and the damp cold air hit, the fourth master couldn't help but shiver, so frightened that Su Peisheng almost sat on the ground, and secretly said that the master was really on the knife mountain and the oil pot for the master of Guerjia, and he could do everything, but why couldn't the master see that the two brothers of the Song family on the opposite side were going to be scared to death!
Song Zilin and Song Zizhang, as the fourth master's family slaves, are in awe of the fourth master, it is like a surging river, and they were recruited into the house by the fourth master early in the morning to speak, they didn't even dare to drink saliva, for fear that something indecent would happen at that time, and it would ruin the impression in the fourth master's heart.
But who can tell them that these four masters called them. In addition to asking a few small questions about the tea garden, he began to lead them here to blow the wind without saying a word, what is it for!
Hungry and thirsty. It's still blowing cold wind, and they really can't hold on!
In the pavilion, the four of them had one thought, that is, it was cold, and the scene was embarrassing, which made Su Peisheng want to cry, and he was looking forward to the appearance of the master of Guerjia soon!
"Look at this water, it's so clear!" Erf, who had been looking forward to appearing, after seeing the vague figure in the gazebo. squeezed out a sentence that made Yujie and Yulan even more embarrassed, and led Yujie and Yulan to the bridge.
The deaf and clear-sighted fourth master listened to Erfu's words, and couldn't wait to pull the little girl in one hand. Asked Xixi to teach her the art of speaking, do you want to be so fake, where will he put the face of the fourth master cold face king!
"After walking for so long, my feet are really sore. Let's go sit down in the pavilion!" said Erph as she walked towards the gazebo. It was as if there were several men sitting in the gazebo.
Yujie and Yulan also began to want to cry, glanced at each other, and there was a sentence in their eyes: Master, you are a monkey invited to make a joke!
If Su Peisheng knew what these two maids were thinking, he would definitely pat his thighs and laugh wildly, did you know that your master's brain circuit is different from ordinary people?
Erfu led Magnolia and Yujie all the way to the pavilion like a trot, and walked into the pavilion as if he was blind, as if he had discovered the man in front of him in hindsight. Hurriedly bowed her head and took two steps back, and Ying Ying leaned over to salute. "Ye auspicious!"
"Why are you here?" the fourth master also pretended to meet by chance, and raised his eyebrows.
The concubine heard the little maid say that the lotus flowers in the Full Moon Lake had leaves, so she thought about coming to see and let the mother-in-law pick some tender leaves and keep them for making lotus leaf tea in the autumn. I didn't expect to meet the master here, and the concubine was rude!"
Erfu said a few lies in his stomach, glanced at a pair of men sitting diagonally opposite the fourth master, looked at the two of them with similar faces and sword eyebrows, and secretly said that the fourth master has a good eye.
"I see!" The fourth master nodded cooperatively, and said loudly, "They are not outsiders, so you can get up and sit together for a while!"
"Xie Fourth Master!" Erfu Yingying saluted, and then sat in the position next to the fourth master, and looked at Song Zilin and Song Zizhang boldly and confidently, and saw that the fourth master was helpless for a while.
The two brothers look very similar, they both look very down-to-earth and reliable, although the figure is not very good, but it is quite stocky, much stronger than Su Peisheng's weak chicken.
Bah, bah, what is the comparison of this society, Erfu secretly complained, and continued to look at the two brothers of the Song family.
"These two people are the two brothers who marry the maid in your room, the eldest Song Zilin in the blue robe, and the second Song Zizhang in the gray robe, they are all good young men, and they have a small reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, and they will stay in Beijing in the future to take care of our family's shop in Beijing!" The fourth master pointed to the two opposite.
Song Zilin and Song Zizhang hurriedly got up to salute, and at the same time peeked at Yulan and Yujie who were following Erfu.
They are not stupid, they were puzzled before why the fourth master called them into the garden to talk, but now when they saw Guerjia side Fujin leading the maid over, they understood in an instant like seeing the clouds.
The two of them grew up in Jiangnan, and they are used to seeing the Jiangnan women who are dependent on the birds, looking at the tall Yujie and Yulan, although it is not love at first sight, but they are also very satisfied, and then look at the two of them are delicate and dignified, and they are more calm than the Guerjia masters, and they have their own style, so they are even more satisfied!
"It turns out that these are the two gentlemen of the Song family, this is Yujie and Yulan in my room, you will be a family in the future, this is really fate, you can actually meet before the wedding!" Erfu smiled and bowed, pointed to the two people standing behind him, and introduced loudly.
The fourth master said that he would never be soft-hearted to Xiao Nizi in the future, it was really too embarrassing, no one present could see that this meeting was deliberately arranged, and she was embarrassed to say that it was fate, she was not afraid of the wind flashing her tongue.
Su Peisheng's hand shaking the tea, the hot water splashed his hand, and he almost threw the tea bowl on the ground, secretly saying that the deceptive trick of the master of Guerjia was too rough.
"Ahem, ahem...... This Yulan and Yujie are the right-hand men around Fang Fujin, if it weren't for Fang Fujin feeling sorry for them, I'm afraid they would have to stay for a few more years, which can be regarded as a coincidence of your father's mention, otherwise the master really doesn't know how to arrange it!" The fourth master said roundly, hoping that the two boys of the old Song family would forget what Erfu said just now.
Song Zilin and Song Zizhang naturally didn't have a brain short circuit, and the fourth master and the side Fujin twisted, nodded busily, thinking that the wife who would accompany him for a lifetime in the future was on the side, and he was a little panicked for a while, and his forehead was sweating.
Seeing this, the fourth master handed Erfu a quick withdrawal look, and then took a sip of the tea bowl to relieve the embarrassment in front of him.
Erfu also knew that as a woman, she should not be stuck in the man's pile, with the favor of the fourth master, it can come and take a look, it is already a great grace, and when she received the fourth master's suggestive eyes, she immediately rubbed her arms, smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "Although it is a warm spring, but the wind on the lake is still really cold, this has just sat for a while, and the concubine is a little unable to hold on, it is better for the concubine to go back and get some clothes for the master!"
"If it's cold, go back and rest early, I'll go to Zhuangzi with them later!"
"Then the concubine will retire first!" Erfu smiled and bowed, and said softly.
Turning his eyes to look at Su Peisheng who was shrinking his hands and feet, he said coldly: "Grandpa Su has to be careful when serving the master, with such a hard wind, why don't you know how to add clothes to the master, it's really getting more and more confused!"
After speaking, Erfu glanced at Su Peisheng as if he was dissatisfied, smiled at the fourth master, and led Yulan and Yujie to walk briskly back and forth, making Su Peisheng, who had always been cunning as a fox, dead and sluggish.
Returning to the West Courtyard, Erfu took a sip of hot tea, and couldn't wait to ask about Yulan and Yujie's impression of the two people.
Seeing this, Yuhan's little gossip heart was also mobilized, and he secretly raised his eyebrows to look at Yujie and Yulan, who were blushing and watery-eyed.
And Yujie and Yulan, who were asked, were really ashamed to get into the cracks in the ground, the master is good at everything, but he is so gossip and has a bad temperament, it's really embarrassing and I don't know how to deal with myself!
"The master and the master have a good eye, and the slave listens to the master!" In the end, Yujie was more calm, looking at Yulan's appearance of twisting her sleeves to hide from the floor cover, she stepped forward and replied softly.
Erf didn't like this answer, and hurriedly said: "This life is your own business, others think it's good, but you may not be really good, you should still make your own decisions, otherwise I wouldn't have to let you meet the two of them like this." ”
"The slave understands!" Yujie and Yulan replied in unison.
Although they are very satisfied with Song Zilin and Song Zizhang in their hearts, they really can't do it if they are so satisfied in front of Erfu, Yuhan and Yuhua!
Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the two of them, Erfu finally got smart for a while, didn't misunderstand that the two didn't like each other, smiled and waved his hand, and said softly: "Okay, you all know it in your hearts, so I won't say anything useless."
These days, you can embroider the wedding dress in the room, and if you lack anything or something, go to the big lady and say, if there is no one in the library, I will find a way for you, and I will never wronged you!"
So saying, Erf let them go down, turned and went into the inner room, and lay down on the couch by the window, intending to sleep. (To be continued......)
