Chapter 249: Captured!
"Fourth brother, the clothes are for you to put outside!" Old Fourteen listened to the sound of water behind the screen, and he didn't bother to wait, he got up and patted the dust on his body, and was about to go out after saying impatiently.
"Got it, you should rest earlier!" The fourth master's faint voice sounded behind the screen, faintly nasal, sounding a little weird.
Old Fourteen frowned, a little confused for a while.
In the past, his fourth brother preached and admonished him in various ways, why was he so kind today, and he still cared about him......
If you can't figure it out, you will forget about it, this is definitely the habit of the old fourteen, and he pursed his lips and snorted and walked out.
The sound of water behind the screen stopped abruptly, and the fourth master, who was wearing a middle coat, walked out, his red eyes obviously had just cried, and he sat on the Luohan bed sluggishly, and the prince's roar echoed in his ears.
Yinren has been the crown prince for more than 30 years, and he has long had enough! He does not want to be the prince of the prison country again, he does not want to nest in the Yuqing Palace all day long, and he even has to think about a word with those courtiers, for fear of being caught, he wants to be an upright son of heaven, and he does not want to prove to the emperor that he is a person who can bear the burden.
Soetu was convicted, the Hesheri clan was uprooted, he became a little pitiful without a mother, and even the second-class families who relied on the Hesheri clan for survival in the past broke away from him, leaving only a few reckless men who wanted to be rich and noble, and he knew that he had no hope of becoming a big man, but he still wanted to fight.
He found the Cao family and the Feng family, who had been in office in Jiangnan for decades, and he intercepted Jiangnan's treasury silver. privately raised soldiers and colluded with the small Ming court in Jiangnan in a vain attempt to stand on his own, but he fell for other people's calculations. Others wanted to borrow his hand to ask for Kangxi's life, although he blocked the fatal swords for Kangxi at the last moment, but he didn't have the face to be the prince anymore.
From the incident to now, Yinren regrets it all the time, he would rather he never become the crown prince and never have the ambition to become the emperor, and he doesn't want to see the always strong Amma cry. I don't want to implicate the old thirteen who drove with him with the king.
Beekeeper said, what kind of place is that, as noble as a prince. But if he wants to live in such a place, he is sorry for the old thirteen, and he is sorry for the wife and children of the old thirteen.
The fourth master listened to the prince say that, and he, a son and a younger brother, was not comfortable in his heart.
Since childhood, the prince has been the eyeball of Kangxi. No matter how hard they try, these kids. has never let Kangxi really put it on the tip of his heart, but the prince doesn't need to do this, and it is too easy to get, people will always not cherish it, and even look at a mountain high and become the prince where the half monarch is, which is something that the fourth master can't think of, but the prince feels that it is not enough.
I just hid and didn't see the old fourteen. On the one hand, he was worried that he would be embarrassed by his tears, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but complain to this big mouth. The things that Huang Ama was bent on concealing were spreading.
"Master, it's not early, you better settle it early!" Su Peisheng carried the food box he received from his brother's dining room, looked at the stunned fourth master, and muttered uneasily.
"......" The fourth master raised his eyebrows slightly, only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, and he didn't even feel hungry after not eating all day, but he didn't want to disappoint Erfu, who was urging him to eat all day long, so he casually pointed to the kang table in front of him and put aside the robe sent by the old fourteen.
Warm soup, light dishes...... After many years away from the elder brother's office, I can't imagine that the chef in this dining room still remembers his appetite.
The fourth master barely ate two mouthfuls of rice, then put down the chopsticks, and instructed Su Peisheng to lead the little eunuch to clean up the clean room, rinse and change clothes by himself, lay on the bed with a warm and fragrant smoke, and looked at the top of the bed curtain in a daze.
The night breeze sounded in the ears of the fourth master, and the faint fragrance of tranquility filled the entire guest room, but he was still not sleepy, thinking about what had happened between the brothers in the past few years, he was so annoyed that he wanted to get angry......
......
In the blink of an eye and a half moon, the fourth master has never returned to Zhuangzi, although Su Peisheng has come back several times to send the fourth master's handwritten family letter, but Erfu's heart seems to mention the throat and eyes, and tells the gatekeeper to open the door every day, for fear of missing the time when the fourth master returns.
Every night, there was a little bit of trivial movement in the yard, and she always couldn't wait to get up from the bed, but she always returned to bed in disappointment, and couldn't sleep all night.
She was worried about whether the fourth master was doing well in the palace, but she had eaten on time, and she had added clothes, although she knew that the fourth master was an adult, and Su Peisheng was staring and waiting by her side, she would definitely not wronged herself, but she just thought about it like a mother who couldn't let go of her heart.
Even the reply to the fourth master was a big nag, which made her feel like she was going to menopause.
"Master, you've been sitting outside for a while, so let's go back to your room and rest, so as not to catch a cold!" Yuhua watched Erfu sit in the courtyard since she got up early, and then took a cloak and put it on her shoulder, and reminded her with some anxiety.
Erfu raised his eyes slightly, looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, slowly exhaled, got up and said: "It's idle to panic when you go back, follow me to Fujin to talk, it's better than being bored alone!"
"Hey!" Yuhua greeted Yujie with a smile, and asked her to put the papaya stewed white fungus soup prepared in the small kitchen and a few plates of freshly cooked dim sum, and then helped Erfu out of the yard slowly.
Autumn is approaching, Huangzhuang is located in Xiaotang Mountain, surrounded by hot springs, but still with the warmth of late summer and early autumn, the flowers in the garden are also blooming, and a few colorful butterflies fly over from time to time, adding a bit of aura to this scene.
As soon as the Ulanara clan saw Erf enter the door, he smiled and asked Erfu to come and sit, casually threw the sachet that had just finished tying to her, and said softly: "I think you are coming over soon, let's play with this thing!"
"My sister's craftsmanship is so good, look at my hand is like a mallet, even the embroidered flowers are crooked, it is really incomparable with the colorful butterflies embroidered by my sister!" Erph smiled and fiddled with the sachet of the white pink flower, took a deep breath of the sachet full of flowers, and coquettishly pulled the sleeve of the Ulanala clan without letting go. Muttered.
"You are a pampered eldest lady, how can you have the leisure to fiddle with these, and besides, no matter how good our embroidery is. That's not as good as the embroidery girls who make a living from this, it's just a few things to pass the time!"
Mama Fu smiled and sent chrysanthemum honey tea to quench her thirst, and sent a few account books in the house to the eyes of the Wulanala clan, and then led Yuhua and the others out of the main room and pulled them to the tea room to rest.
This half month. The fourth master didn't come back, but the relationship between Erfu and the Ulanala clan was called a thousand miles in a day. Inexplicably closer.
The Ulanala clan even took back part of the assigned housekeeper errands, and taught Erfu to read the account books and plan the plate little by little, as if he was teaching his daughter to be married.
"Eat something first, look at your little skinny face. If the fourth master comes back to watch. It must be distressing!" Ulanala stuffed Erf's favorite water chestnut shortbread into Erf's hand, and said with a smile.
Erfu smiled shyly, lowered her head and bit it down, she couldn't always be a burden to the fourth master, she had to stand up first.
The two of them laughed and ate two plates of dim sum, drank a bowl of soup, and then rinsed their mouths and sat behind the table in the small study. A thirst for learning.
The Ulanala clan copied the strict and old-fashioned way when raising her grandmother, and somehow got a sour branch wood ring ruler. Don't mention how strict that look.
If you want to say that Erfu is still relatively easy to get started with looking at accounts or something, after all, in this era of emphasizing the four books and five classics and the subset of scriptures and history, she, a good young man who has studied mathematics, physics and chemistry, has many more advantages.
Although sometimes there are some jokes, but it still makes the Ulanala clan think that this student is good, and even entrusts the shops opened in the house to Erfu, and let Erfu take care of it, and take Erfu to talk to those big shopkeepers on weekdays, so that she doesn't have to be a canary who doesn't know firewood, rice, oil and salt.
"Okay, go through this account book, let's finish reading the account book today!" Ula Nara rubbed his somewhat astringent eyes, sighed, and said with a smile.
On the abacus of the jade carving frame, there are beads embedded with red sandalwood carved copper coin patterns, the pulp is thick, the color is simple, it is obviously the favorite object of the Ula Nala clan, but it has become Erf's practice teaching aid, it can be seen that the Ula Nala clan has really changed.
Speaking of abacus, Erf still used it when he was learning abacus in elementary school, and he thought that he would not use this thing again in his life, but he didn't want to pick it up again now, which made Erfu who didn't like to knock on the plate painful, not to mention that it was not a simple toggle of the beads to finish, and the strict requirements of the Ulanala clan really made Erf find a sense of tension in the exam.
Crackling for an hour, Erfu held the proofread account book, as if she had been assessed by a teacher, and stood in front of the Ulanala clan with some trembling hearts, for fear that the Ulanala clan would let her re-take the accounts.
"This time I did a good job, I will be relieved to leave these to you in the future!" Ula Nara flicked the abacus beads with his ten fingers, the speed was several times that of Erfu, and he quickly took the account book again, nodded with a smile, and let Mama Fu accept the account book and abacus with satisfaction, and pulled Erfu to sit on the Luohan bed.
"Sister, you should do the work of this account by yourself in the future, I think it's good for me to be a foodie who eats and waits for death!" Erph rubbed her sore wrist and muttered in her mouth.
"Nonsense, you are the side Fujin in our house, you should be a person in charge, if it weren't for the fourth master who is used to you, how could you learn to read accounts at your age......" Wulanala said with a straight face.
Erfu stuck out her tongue, she also knew that the Ulanala clan was for her good, but she just couldn't change the habit of wanting to complain.
It's just that the Ulanala clan didn't intend to let her go, and seeing that Erfu was drinking tea to relieve her breath, she talked about all kinds of pickling things in this house as if telling a story......
"Sister, if you let Ye know, I'm afraid I'll scold the two of us together!" Erph didn't intend to be ruthless, and asked in horror.
"I'm not asking you to calculate others, I'm just telling you how to guard against other people's calculations!" Ulanara knocked on Erf's brain, as if he felt that Erfu's brain circuit was different from ordinary people, and explained helplessly.
"Now that you have the fourth master to protect you, it is naturally all right, but if one day, someone takes your place, and the fourth master no longer protects you, how can you be good!
Even if the fourth master can protect you for a lifetime, but you still have Xiao Qi, is it possible that you want Xiao Qi to be so messy with you for the rest of your life, you must know that our royal Gege, then most of them will be sent to Mongolia and relatives!
Although you believe that the fourth master can protect Xiao Qi, this ability is still more stable for you.
After all, sometimes, this man is careless......"
The Wulanala clan was a little angry, and the tone of the voice was also louder, even the fourth master who had just returned to the house heard it at the door, and originally wanted to enter the door to give Erfu the master, but after listening to what the Wulanala clan said, there was some truth in what the Wulanala clan said, and the raised foot retracted again, and glanced at Su Peisheng, then sat on the stone steps with his robe on, waiting for the two women in the room to get out of class.
Erfu likes to flirt with the problem, this is definitely a disease, but it can't be changed, at this time, looking at the Wulanala clan is a little about to run away, busy holding hot tea and approaching, smiling and making amends, so that the fourth master sitting outside next to him feels itchy at the root of his teeth when he hears it, and he can't wait to catch it and beat him up to relieve his hatred.
But the Ulanala clan was affected by this, and said a few words in a tone full of helplessness and pampering, and then began a new preaching, such as various means of drugged, such as various methods of assassination.
The fourth master knew that there were many private things in the Hou/Palace, but he really didn't expect that there were so many Taoists here, and secretly felt that his arrangement should be realized as soon as possible, otherwise these women would be really terrible.
......
The door behind him made a screeching **, and the dizzy Erfu stepped out of the room of the Ulanala clan, looking at the fourth master with a bad expression on his face, and he felt like he was being caught.
"What's the matter, didn't you say you were going to go outside!" Ulanara Bilf took a step back and walked out of the door, but did not see the fourth master who was blocked by Erfu, and looked at the back of Erfu who stopped moving a little strangely, and frowned and asked.
"Ye is here!" Erfu turned around like a machine, pointed at the fourth master who was standing under the cloister with trembling fingers, and said embarrassedly.
Wulanala raised his eyebrows, looked at the wide open courtyard gate at the entrance of the courtyard, and his movements were a little stiff like Erfu, and asked with a smile: "Ye is back, these people didn't come to spread the word earlier, and I don't know how long Ye has been standing outside, but I'm tired!"
"I just arrived!" The fourth master walked up the steps with a smile, looked at Fu Jin and Fu Jin who were standing separately on the left and right, and took the hands of the two and walked to the room.
What is this?
Erfu complained in her heart, and she was even more worried that the fourth master would hear the appalling palace secrets that the Ulanala clan said, after all, the Ulanala clan was to teach her the heart of defense, so she would tell all the secrets that the Ulanala clan had collected for many years, and there was some suspicion of exploring the secrets of the palace at this time! (To be continued......)
