Chapter 639: The Grass in the Rebellious Period
Chapter 639
Speaking of which, Lily of the Valley also knew that her identity was embarrassing, so except for Erfu looking for her on weekdays, she basically nested in a small single room in the side room to do embroidery work, or followed Yaoqin to count the shares sent from the house, and never appeared in such a strange time period.

And this time she suddenly appeared, naturally not because she wanted to betray Erfu.
She is not a brainless person, she deeply understands that all slaves who betray their masters will no longer be trusted by their new masters, and she will not sacrifice the future for the sake of immediate interests, so she came out at this time, naturally to solve Erfu's problems.
She knew that Erf was short of manpower at this time, and she planned to perform well, hoping to fully integrate into the big family led by Erf.
"Master, slave Lily of the Valley asks to see you!" Lily of the Valley gently knocked on the door of the wing room, called in a low voice, and then took two steps back, respectfully waiting for the call of the people in the room.
Hearing this, Erfu was busy checking her makeup in front of the dressing table, she didn't trust Lily of the Valley, if Yaoqin knocked on the door to ask to see, she was afraid that she would respond when she arrived, Erfu carefully looked at the wrinkled shirt and skirt on her body, smoothed it carefully, and then took the water in the basin of the washstand by the window, slightly combed the somewhat messy sideburns, and then turned around and came to the outer room, sat up straight on the Taishi chair placed on the top, and said loudly: "Come in!"
The door was gently pushed open with a slightly harsh creak.
Lily of the valley was wearing a pale cyan robe with water ripples of the same color, and came to Erfu's side with a slight hanging head, and said respectfully: "The slave has seen the master, and the master is auspicious!"
Erfu stroked the broken hair in her ears, glanced at Lily of the Valley quietly, raised her hand and pressed the sideburns that were a little swollen, and said, "It's Lily of the Valley, why are you here now, but what's the matter?"
"Back to the master, the slave does have something.
The slave just saw the girl of Cao'er sneakily walking towards the corner door of the side room, and felt that something was wrong and followed, which Cheng thought about it and saw that the girl was very eager to circle outside the corner door, so she secretly led the two rough mother-in-law to hold it down, and she couldn't get her idea for a while, so she came to ask the master to give a charter!" Lily of the valley blessed her body, and explained it as simply and clearly as possible, but she secretly complained in her heart, grabbing the grass, it was not as simple as she said, who knew that the grass would actually work hard, and her back was still hurting hotly!
Cao'er is a nail set by Erfu, so that Cao'er is ordered to release some false news, firstly, so as not to be taboo against Erfu, a western courtyard where needles can't be pierced and splashed with water, thinking that there is nothing to do to let out some rumors, so that those women who are staring at her like fighting cocks can be at ease; , this can be regarded as a small compensation for the reputation of the ghost on his back!
Originally, all this was planned well, and Erfu also planned to wait a few days, Cao'er turned sixteen years old and asked the fourth master to help her touch a good family business, which can be regarded as a round of their master-servant tacit understanding, but recently Erfu found that Cao'er seems to have changed, and often sneakily stares at her, but these days, Erfu has a lot of things at hand, either this or that, and has not made time to come, so he did not call Cao'er over to ask, only instructed Yaoqin and others to keep an eye on Cao'er, lest Cao'er have an accident in this last shift and spoil their master-servant feelings。
But I don't want to......
Thinking of this, Erfu sighed faintly, looked at Lily of the Valley very seriously, and only rubbed her somewhat astringent nose for a while, and said in a low voice: "I think you are using grass as your stepping stone, since you are so sincere, if I can't tolerate you, I'm afraid it will really hurt your heart."
Okay, in the future, you will be one of the palace maids in charge of my West Courtyard.
What exactly to do, or which part to be responsible for, find an opportunity another day, you and Yaoqin come over, you two discuss it yourself, and I will give you a witness, so as not to hurt you by the partiality I arranged. ”
After explaining this, Erfu asked Lily of the Valley to bring Cao'er over.
The beautiful grass that has always been dressed up is extremely embarrassed at this time.
I saw that she was wearing a knee-length robe lined with tulle and thin silk, and a hole more than a foot long was torn from under her armpits, just revealing the lotus pink dark flower tunic underneath, and a few silk flowers on the small two hairpins on their heads were also hooked in a scattered manner, trembling and trembling, I was afraid that if the movement was a little bigger, it would fall to the ground, if these were just afraid that it was nothing, and then look at Cao'er's red and swollen face like a pig's head, Erfu looked at her and gasped for her, and it was also a shame that Cao'er could still put on a posture of seeing death as if she were at home and entangled with the rough mother-in-law who pressed her into the door。
"What's going on?" Erph asked in a low voice, turning her head to look at Lily of the Valley.
Lily of the valley didn't dare to slack off, so she took a step forward, leaned in front of Erfu, and replied softly: "This girl knows some rough kung fu, and her strength is much greater than that of ordinary palace maids.
Hearing this, Erfu nodded slightly, motioned to Lily of the Valley to pull Cao'er closer, carefully looked at Cao'er's somewhat deformed face, and asked lightly: "You were personally sent to my courtyard by the fourth master, saying that your father was the fourth master's personal soldier when he was with the emperor in the past when he was conquest of Dzungaria, so I must treat you well, just wait until you are older and choose a good family for you to marry, why did you do such an unwise thing!"
"Hahahaha......"
Cao'er didn't look at the rough women who pressed her on both sides, and smiled coldly at Erf, who showed pity on her face, and the spit mixed with blood in her mouth spit on the soles of Erfu's feet so inappropriately and inappropriately, laughing mockingly, as if she didn't want to talk to Erfu seriously at all.
In Erfu's opinion, the grass at this moment is like a child in the rebellious period, and can only be coaxed, if you are hard, I am also hard, I am afraid that the fourth master's desire to treat the children of the deceased soldiers will be completely in vain.
"Tie her up carefully, don't let people press her like this, and find some more ointment to apply to her, in short, don't treat her too harshly, get it right, you come and call me again!"
Back in the inner room, Erfu's mood is even more chaotic, a child who is only so little, if it is placed in modern times, it is definitely taken care of by his parents, where will he need to suffer so much, maybe it was wrong for the fourth master to get the grass into the house, that is, her family life is harder, then you can give some silver, why bother to make people do the work of serving people as slaves and maids, how much water did she have in her head, she could agree to the arrangement of the fourth master.
I regret it, but I don't rush anymore.
Erfu didn't stand like this, didn't sit in the inner room like ants in a hot pot and turned around a cup of tea, listening to the muffled snort outside the room, resisting the urge to rush out of the door to rescue Cao'er, and finally before she was exhausted, she waited for the voice of Lily of the Valley calling her, she didn't care about what the master's shelf was, and she didn't have the heart to respond to the soft call outside the door, so she pushed open the blue gauze cabinet and returned to the outer room.
To say that this lily of the valley's ability to do things is really outstanding, it has only been such a while, the grass that was still gray just now, the blood stains and swelling on the face have been washed, the ointment has been smeared, and even the robe on the body has been changed, and he has been tied to the thick vermilion lacquer pillar with his backhand, and a small bench less than a foot high has been stuffed under him, and he has maintained a very strange posture and sits.
"Cao'er, you should understand that when you came to the mansion as an errand, it was the grace of the fourth master.
Why did you become like this, I just want you to tell the truth!" Although he felt very guilty about Cao'er, Erfu's face did not show it, but he seemed to be very distressed, half-squatting in front of Cao'er, shaking Cao'er's shoulders, and asked in a deep voice.
"Why?" Cao'er seemed to look like she saw Erfu for the first time, her eyes were full of loneliness, she looked at Erfu coldly, and after a long time, she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and replied, "Hehe, you are the dignified prince of the side of Fujin, where can you really understand the suffering of our slaves, do you think you treat us very well, do you think you are the best good person in the world, it is just your own self-deception!"
Erf choked and sighed helplessly.
She didn't think that she was the biggest good person in the world, and she really wanted to treat her subordinates well, but how could she be refuted by Cao'er so harshly, is there really anything she can't do, she asked herself, and soon shook her head firmly, she said that she didn't have anything to do with Cao'er's servants from beginning to end, the people in her yard, the new clothes of the four seasons in spring, autumn, winter and summer, every time she filled in the silver and exchanged it from the gongzhong, not to mention the food, it was better than those palace maids in the palace, large and small palace maids, the eunuchs are all a meat and a vegetarian with white rice, vegetables and fruits in all seasons, and there is no shortage of them, treat them as fair as modern hired housekeepers, and there is no humiliation of beating or scolding them, how can they make the grass look so cynical!
If you don't understand, you have to ask, this is one of Erfu's great advantages.
She nodded very sincerely to what Cao'er said, and then raised the question in her heart, she really didn't know if she didn't ask, and she was startled when she asked, this person is sometimes so unreasonable, such as Cao'er who is the second and third in front of her.
"That's what you're here for!" Erfu shook her head and smiled bitterly, turned her head to Lily of the Valley and gave an order, and asked Lily of the Valley to go ahead to deliver a letter to the fourth master, this grass is different from other palace maids, she is not easy to deal with in private, and she is in the observation period at this time, so she should be more cautious.
I have to say that the people around the Li family are really good at taking advantage of loopholes.
Erph shook her head and went into the inner room, and sat limply on the floor, leaning against the carved and gold-painted blue gauze cabinet behind her.
Cao'er's father was the fourth master once accompanied Kangxi Ye to the west of the Dzungar army, and saved the life of the fourth master, as the fourth master to block the arrow, although he did not lose his life, but he fell into the end of individual weakness and weakness, the army returned to Beijing, he was driven home to be a farmer, the family has a lot of people, originally had his life money to support, life is still good, but as he was driven back to the house, it was as if the pillars collapsed, and those village ruffians who were afraid of Cao'er's father's identity as a soldier in the past came out.
Originally, these things, the fourth master did not know, Cao'er's father did not think about what to get from the fourth master with kindness, until a few years ago, he dragged his already weak body in order to earn some life-saving money to buy rice, took over a job in the village to watch the mountains and forests, in the snow disaster, was frozen to death in the shack guarding the forest, his former comrades, could not bear his children to live a life without clothes, this is the matter with the fourth master who patrolled in the past.
Since that day, Cao'er's family has had a much better life.
But Cao'er's mother is a strong one, unwilling to accept the kindness of the fourth master so plainly, several shirks, the fourth master thought carefully, came up with a compromise method, proposed to let Cao'er's brothers and sisters enter the house as an errand, first, with him as a backer, those village ruffians will no longer find trouble with Cao'er's family; It is a great thing that it is easier for those who do embroidery to earn money, and they have not been enslaved, nor will it affect their future paths.
Seeing the world outside, it is better than staying at home and guarding those acres of land for a lifetime, this sentence persuaded Cao'er's mother, as the days passed, except for Cao'er, the youngest child in the family, who was still on an errand in the house, several other children all got married one after another and left the fourth master's mansion, and at this time, something happened to her family.
Cao'er's mother, who had worked hard all her life, was so angry that she fell ill.
Several brothers at the head of the family were busy sending letters to Cao'er, hoping that Cao'er could ask the fourth master or Erfu to come forward and invite a doctor in the hospital, even if it was a healer, or even an apprentice, it was better than the medical skills of the barefoot doctor in the countryside.
It's just that in those days, Erfu's health was not well, she didn't have a chance to see Erfu, and in desperation, she had to go to Liuli, who had been getting news with her, to help, and finally Li took his own name card and invited an old doctor from Tai Hospital to go over to see Cao'erniang.
If you want to talk about this, at most, it is to let Cao'er be more grateful to the Li family, and it will not let her betray Erfu, after all, in the mansion all these years, Erfu can be regarded as the best person for her, but with a letter sent by the family, her idea has completely changed.
