Chapter 693: Returning Home
Chapter 693
In the private room, the tea is fragrant, and the atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This was an atmosphere that Erfu had never felt since she returned to Zhuangzi from Shengjing, but she listened to Bai Jiao slowly talk about the future arrangements, and she felt a lot of uneasiness.
According to her, her actual age is almost thirty years old.
She thought that she had gone through the pain of losing her son, she was already very mature, she already had the courage to face all the hardships, and she had the ability to protect herself and Xiao Qi at a young age, and after listening to Bai Jiao's detailed arrangements for the future, she found that she was still so naïve.
To describe myself in one word, it's to be completely unprepared.
She thought about faking her death to escape from the gorgeous mansion where she couldn't even breathe, but she never thought about her life after leaving, or she thought about it, but she didn't think about it enough, she thought that she took the belongings she had earned over the years, led Xiao Qi, and bought three or five loyal servants, and found a place with beautiful scenery to live a peaceful and worry-free life...... But where there are people, there is strife.
In this era when the clan lives together, how can she, a woman with a child, keep her family fortune, and how can she guarantee that she will not be harmed, this is not exactly what she was worried about for Lily at the beginning, but when it was her turn, how could she be impulsive.
If she hadn't talked to Bai Jiao about it, and she didn't find out about it until she left the Fourth Master's Mansion, what kind of miserable situation would it be, although all this had never happened, but it made Erfu Sheng break out in a cold sweat.
Bai Jiao noticed that Erfu's face had become very weird, and she hurriedly stopped talking, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you, but what's wrong with your body, or do you think of a few little masters again?"
"I'm fine, but I suddenly realized that my ideas were too naïve. Erfu shook her head with a wry smile, looked at Bai Jiao, who was full of worry, and replied softly.
Bai Jiao was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Erfu's words.
Yes, she ignored the problem of time, when Erfu asked Ya'er to find her, it should be when Erfu only knew about the death of several little masters, it is estimated that Erfu suffered too much blow at that time, and she only wanted to escape from the life of the Fourth Master's Mansion, and she didn't think about her life after leaving the Fourth Master's Mansion at all.
Thinking about this, Bai Jiao said how she found such an owner.
Erfu was lucky to meet herself, but if she met another big shopkeeper who was a little selfish, it would not have been long before Erfu had exhausted all her money.
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land.
You can fake your death and leave Prince Yong's mansion, so how should you bring out the little seven grids?" Bai Jiao said that Erfu needs to sort out the problems now, it is really not ordinary, as a reliable shopkeeper, she must help Erfu think carefully.
When Erfu heard this, he was stunned again, and shook his head in a daze.
She was really embarrassed to tell Bai Jiao that she actually planned to let Xiao Qi send her coffin out of the house, and she ran to meet her by herself.
Bai Jiao looked at Erfu's children's shoes that were already dull, supported her forehead weakly, sighed, and said, "I said the owner, can you return the medicine bag I just gave you first?"
"Why?" asked Erph bluntly.
"I don't believe you can deceive Prince Yong, I'm afraid that you won't be able to fake your death and escape by then, but will be sent on your way by a plan. Bai Jiao didn't care if it would hit Erfu's self-confidence, snatched the medicine bag that Erfu was holding in her hand, rolled her eyes, and explained a little impatiently.
Erfu looked blankly at the empty hands and the blood marks on the palms, and then looked up at Bai Jiao, who had a lonely face, and said indifferently: "Actually, it's good to be sent on the road by someone like that, at least I don't have to face such a life, I'm really tired." ”
"To live is to hope, and you are willing to let your children die like this?
If you don't even have the courage to live, you might as well let me find a good material like Poison and Crane Dinghong, and as soon as you close your eyes, you will be completely gone, and you will be waiting for someone to take advantage of the loophole and send you on the road to do something. Bai Jiao angrily reached out and poked Erfu's head, the strength was really not restrained at all, poked Delf grinned, and then withdrew his hand unsatisfied, and put on a haughty posture to teach the guys in the shop, and lowered his voice to teach.
Erfu nodded seriously, she actually didn't want to act so unproductive, but she always felt that the IQ of these ancient people was a little excessive, she really couldn't think of a good way, and there was a super think tank like Bai Jiao, so she directly chose the easiest way and pretended to ask for help.
Sure enough, Bai Jiao was very resistant to take the bait.
With Bai Jiao's help, everything seems to have become much smoother.
Although the medicine bag that could help Erfu leave the Fourth Master's Mansion was still left by Bai Jiao in the Xuancai Workshop, she felt much more at ease.
--------
The weather was gloomy, the air was mixed with a faint moisture, and the gentle wind took away the last trace of heat.
"Master, let's hurry back home, the slave and maid see that this day is not very good, maybe it is going to rain. Yaoqin sent the umbrella to the top of Erfu's head, and at the same time carefully held the somewhat shaky Erfu and reminded softly.
Erfu nodded calmly, turned his head to look at the big golden sign of the dazzling color shop, and walked towards the carriage.
There was nothing to say all the way, inside the hanging flower gate of the fourth master's mansion.
The many female dependents of the Fourth Lord's Mansion, except for the Wulanala clan, the concubine Fujin, and the Li family, who sincerely believed in Buddhism, everyone else was staying here, waiting to welcome Erfu's big ride, but each individual's reaction was different.
- Little Ula Nara impatiently leaned on the close-quarters maid Luyi, smacked her lips, muttered and whined, completely showing her brainlessness and arrogance, Niu Hulu was shrunk aside with low eyebrows, her current status in the house, that is really getting worse, on the one hand, the fourth master of the mansion looks down on her, on the other hand, the Ula Nala clan is angry that she betrayed herself, and the maid next to her has been replaced all over and over and left a group of snobbish eyes who are high and low, although they did not embarrass her on the surface, but let her life be miserable, as for Xinggege, it is basically a beautiful background board, standing silently aside, and Dong E's stroked his slightly bulging lower abdomen and sat on a small drum stool in the corner, quietly like a noble girl sitting in the boudoir, and his emotions were not affected by the little Wulanala clan on the side.
As soon as Erfu entered the door, she saw such a strange scene, looking at so many women wearing red and green, she had an indescribable tiredness, and she had already made up her mind not to compete with these women for the fourth master's man, so she didn't need to pretend to be friendly with them anymore, she just rolled her eyes angrily, and no matter what other women thought, she turned her head and walked in the direction of the west courtyard.
The rebuilt west courtyard is much more spacious than the original.
Erfu was not in the mood to appreciate these, and felt that the blood-stained vermilion red pillar was indescribably awkward, and he didn't want to look at the flattering eyes of those palace maids, so he turned his head to look at Yaoqin, greeted the maids who followed behind, and handed over the work of dealing with these palace maids to Yaoqin, the big palace maid of the original West Courtyard, and entered the bedroom that had been converted into a five-room, two-story small building, "Put all the things that should be placed, and I'll go to rest first when I'm tired." As for the matter of saying goodbye to the Ulanala clan when he returned home, Erfu didn't even think about it, so he directly changed into a loose and simple plain brocade dress and lay down on the soft and fragrant mattress.
It wasn't until sunset that Erf gathered her long hair and got up.
"Is there anyone from the main courtyard?" she sat in front of the dressing table, looked at the gift list sent by the hostesses of each courtyard, and found that there was no one from the Wulanala clan, and turned her head to Yaoqin who was making the bed and asked.
"Nope.
It is said that Chang Fujin's health is not very good these days, and even the trivial matters in the house have been handed over to Li Fang Fujin to take care of. "Yaoqin has her own sources in the house, even if Erfu looks wilted and drooping when she returns to the house, she has not forgotten her own work, and as soon as she comes back, she sorted out all the news, and naturally knows that Chang Fujin's life in the mansion is not so easy.
If you say who is the beneficiary of this incident, it is estimated that it is the side of the Da Li family, after all, Chang Fujin is now in the mansion, which is equivalent to being grounded by the fourth master, it is estimated that if it is not for the dignity of the royal family, I am afraid that the fourth master is really going to let the first abandoned Chang Fujin appear in the Qing Dynasty.
It's just these words, she doesn't want to say in front of other people.
Although Erfu didn't perceive the meaning of Yaoqin's words, she also habitually asked about the current situation of the Li family, and sighed secretly in her heart, and said secretly: These days, a lot of things have really happened in this huge Fourth Master Mansion.
Hongyun's death really surprised Erfu.
Xu is because of the sudden departure of Hongxuan, Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er, which made her have such an indescribable sympathy and understanding for the Li family, who also lost her son, but she completely forgot that this may also be a game of chess arranged by the Li family after the loss of her son, a game of chess that made her and the Wulanala clan fall in love and kill each other!
But these things, she can't think of now.
She only felt that it was indescribable joy to hear that the power of the Wulanala clan of Chang Fujin was seized by the Li family, and she laughed in front of the palace maids in the room, with a hint of relief in her eyes, which looked very infiltrating.
"The master is here!
Master, the slave and maid are waiting for you to freshen up first!" Yaoqin glanced at Erfu, who was about to continue in a daze again, glanced at Su Peisheng, who was looking at her outside the window, and also saw the fourth master pacing on the side, she hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded her.
When Erfu heard this, she glanced at Yaoqin's eyes, and she also saw the fourth master standing under the corridor, but she didn't have the heartfelt attachment to the fourth master, so she was too lazy to dress up for such a man, so as if she hadn't heard Yaoqin's words, she stretched out her hand and pushed open the grille window next to the dresser, and said indifferently: "Yo, this fourth master is enjoying the beautiful sunset outside, then the concubine will not disturb your Yaxing." After speaking, she closed the window again, and no longer looked at the duo of the fourth master and Su Peisheng who were stunned outside, and directly ordered Yaoqin to pass the meal.
"Master, are we going in?" Su Peisheng said that he really couldn't bear such a heavy pressure, the fourth master's eyes were like ice, and his back was frozen, if he stood here again, he seemed to have returned to the feeling of entering the knife room again.
The fourth master looked at Su Peisheng, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "Did you say that the master really did something wrong, I remember that Eniang had reminded the master many times before, if you really love the Guerjia clan, don't get too close to her, this woman's jealousy is far more terrible than the master imagined." ”
"Master, the slave doesn't know. Su Peisheng said that a man like him really can't understand this, not to mention that if he says yes, then the fourth master must not strangle him, even if the fourth master is now traumatized and has lost his former calmness, and when he thinks about it later, he will not be better.
For the sake of his own safety, Su Peisheng chose Mingzhe to protect himself without righteousness.
Fortunately, the fourth master didn't want to get an accurate answer from Su Peisheng, he just vented, looking at the more and more slender Erfu by the window, let him leave like this, he was really reluctant, but just went in with such a disgraced face, he seemed to be a little unable to wipe his face, just when he was pacing under the porch in a dilemma, a scream in the room was considered to completely relieve him.
"Ah......h
Except for the fourth master who rushed into the upper room like a sharp arrow, the palace maids, eunuchs, and rough servants who were on errands everywhere also rushed out of each room, if it weren't for Su Peisheng blocking him at the door, the upper room would have been crowded.
"What's going on, what's wrong with you?" the fourth master hugged Erfu, who jumped out of bed barefoot, in his arms, and asked anxiously while greedily breathing in the faint body fragrance on Erfu's body.
It turned out that when the fourth master was in a dilemma and didn't know how to find a step to get off the stage, Erfu was in the room, and it was not so comfortable, although she was already disheartened with the fourth master, but the long-term habit made her eyes drift out of the window unconsciously, and she didn't want to be soft-hearted, so she went directly to the bed, kicked her shoes and got into the innermost part of the bed.
To say that all this is providential.
The upper room of the west courtyard of the fourth master's mansion, what kind of boundary is that, don't look at Erfu these days not in the capital, this rebuilt two-story building, there are also rough servants responsible for cleaning, absolutely dusty, but this person is inert, without the master and steward's staring, those rough servants just want to be lazy, the face is to clean up every day, and the corners are negligent.
There were a few little eunuchs, who one day went to the upper room to enjoy the automatic fan in Erfu's room, thinking that they had nothing to do at night, so they brought a lot of food and food, and while bragging, they played money and drank wine, not to mention how happy.
But the next day, they were held down by the steward.
Later, the rough servants who came to clean up curly cleaned up, and did not notice some of the bones they had thrown in the corners, and some little mice who were half starved and half dead found this treasure and made a nest here, and gave birth to a few little mice who had just opened their eyes for a few days.
Before Erfu returned home, the servant did a big cleaning, the big mice were all blown out, and the little mice hid in the gap between the cabinet and the wall, but they were not found, to say that Erfu would not see it, after all, it was such a hidden place, but she didn't want to see the fourth master and drilled into it vigorously, and this time she saw the fluffy little mouse.
She never imagined that one day she would see these things in the room and she would scream.
