In the west courtyard after the rain, even the blue bricks and tiles of the black and sudden bursts are shining with crystal light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Erph stood under the porch at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the renovated two-story building, recalling the scene where she had sketched the bedroom of the two little ones in her mind with great joy, and there was only endless regret and pain at this time.
Xiao Qi, who had been paying attention to Erfu's expression, hurriedly tugged at her sleeve.
Erff leaned over, noticed her uneasy eyes, smiled and gave her a reassuring expression, then took her hand and walked into the somewhat unfamiliar west courtyard.
The West Courtyard is still the West Courtyard.
The lush flowers and trees in the corner of the wall exude a faint fragrance, and the chrysanthemums of various colors under the corridor are more for this somewhat deserted small courtyard, adding a touch of bright color.
"Let's go, let's go in!" Erfu took a deep breath, sorted out his mood, turned his head to Xiao Qi, who was still a little worried, and said with a smile.
"Well, Eniang!" Xiao Qi nodded obediently, and walked towards the hall.
However, before Erfu entered the door, Zhao Dezhu and Wang Shoucai, the two big eunuchs who came back in one step, had already led the big and small servants on duty in the West Courtyard to greet them, and everyone lined up in two columns at the door of the upper room in a regular manner, and asked An to see the salute and said: "Slave / slave please master An, I have seen Xiao Gege!"
"Get up, you've worked hard these days!" Erfu nodded to everyone with a smile, habitually turned her head to look to the left-hand side, and was just about to tell Yaoqin to reward, she remembered that Yaoqin was still in Zhuangzi, she was a little embarrassed to withdraw the eyes that fell to the left hand, and said softly to the people who were still leaning over to salute, and then asked Ya'er to come forward to reward the money.
"Thank you, master. Everyone responded in unison.
Erfu nodded perfunctorily, took Xiao Qi's hand and walked to the upper room.
She now urgently needs to replenish the palace maids who are serving around her, relying on her own alone, she really can't suppress these palace maids who have been on errands in the hospital for some years, but this time she doesn't plan to wait for the fourth master to arrange, and when she comes back, she thinks a lot, although she didn't understand the reason why Yaoqin and Guzheng betrayed her, but she also recalled her own shortcomings, maybe it was because she was too weak before, and she didn't seem to care about everything, so that these palace maids who were relying on her life lacked confidence, which made the palace maids around her repeatedly betray her master, so this time she decided to choose the palace maids herself, and also arrest all the things in her yard, and she can't live like this anymore.
After all, she is this age, and it is time for her to learn to be strong.
Thinking like this, as soon as she entered the room, she didn't have time to change her clothes, so she asked the maid to send the records of the palace maids and servants on duty in the west courtyard, and pulled the ignorant Xiaoqi to carefully check the origin of these palace maids and the experience of entering the house on an errand, and selected the suitable palace maids to serve in front of them.
In the small west courtyard, there are more than 20 servants waiting up and down.
On the thin booklet, it records all the experiences of these people from being selected to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to being assigned to the West Courtyard as an errand boy, and even their personality and family background are recorded, which should be very convenient for Erfu to select the right candidate to be an errand with her, Erfu was also full of confidence at first, thinking that she must personally select the most suitable person, but when she saw the end, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Eniang, don't be upset about this little thing.
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.
You have been away from the house for so long, and you have left the house with illness, no one knows when you will be able to come back, they are unwilling to wait for you to come back in the empty yard like this, and find a way to leave, which is also human nature.
But that's fine, at least prove that these people are not trustworthy, and lest you transfer them to your side as errands in the future, and they will be bribed by others to hurt you. Xiao Qi noticed Erfu's momentary loss, and hurriedly comforted him softly.
Hearing this, Erfu shook his head with a smile, and reached out to rub Xiao Qi's head.
She wasn't actually sad about the departure of these people, after all, the people in this booklet were just names for Erf, and in her mind, she didn't even leave the slightest impression, how could she be so sad and sad to leave for someone she didn't know at all, then she was too glassy, and the reason why she sighed was entirely because she saw the familiar handwriting on this notebook.
On the file book, the person who left these beautiful handwriting is Yaoqin.
Erfu looked at the remarks that Yaoqin left on the file book, thinking back to the days when Yaoqin was by her side, and the little things she had done for her, so caring, how could she not be sad!
Alas...... With another sigh, Erf put away the notebook.
She called in aloud to the maid who was preparing in the tea room, and ordered softly: "Our West Courtyard is seriously understaffed, you can go to the housekeeper for a while, and ask her to send some palace maids over to choose and replenish for me!"
After speaking, she and Xiao Qi went into the inner room to change their clothes.
The luggage that was sent back by Zhao Dezhu and Wang Shoucai first had not had time to be sorted out, and Erfu rummaged through it for a while before finding a neatly folded home-style robe from the bottom of the box, and then found Xiao Qi's regular clothes from the cabinet, so he took Xiao Qi into the clean room to wash and change into a home-style robe.
"There's no fire in the kitchen yet, let's make do with our faces first!" Erfu explained softly while twisting the handkerchief to wipe Xiao Qi's face.
"E-Niang, you're okay!" Xiao Qi looked at E-Niang, who was a little different, and said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Erfu tilted her head a little puzzled, then nodded with a smile, half-squatted down, and while carefully sorting out the robe on her body for Xiao Qi, she said softly with loving eyes: "E-Niang is very good, as early as when I came back, E-Niang was already ready, E-Niang will not be a deserter in the future, at least before Xiao Qi grows up, E-Niang will strive to do better, so that Xiao Qi doesn't have to worry about these trivial things." ā
"Eniang......" Xiao Qi's eyes were filled with tears and he threw himself into Erfu's arms.
In fact, Erfu is really not a qualified mother, or she is not suitable for living in such a complex interpersonal relationship, her character is set from a young age, she has lived in a honey pot since she was a child, and has always been cared for and raised, even if she has experienced collective life, because she is a few years younger than her classmates, and her roommates in the same dormitory take care of her as a sister, so that she suddenly has to learn these cumbersome interpersonal relationships in ancient times, which is too reluctant, and the fourth master also spoils her like a daughter, so that she has no time to grow up, even if she gives birth to several children in succession, but her temperament and thinking mode, has been staying when she first came, and was even taken care of by the fourth master too well, so that she even let go of the caution brought by the unfamiliar living environment.
With Yaoqin's betrayal, she finally realized her own problems.
After a while, the mother and daughter had a heart-to-heart exchange, both of them were full of tears, the two of them repacked their makeup, just returned to the outside room and sat down, before they had time to drink tea to moisten their throats, the fourth master led Lily over.
The two sides met the courtesy, the guests and hosts sat down, and Xiao Qi said goodbye in a timely manner.
Erfu got up and bowed to Erfu to apologize, then smiled and took Xiao Qi's hand to the upstairs room to settle down, when she returned to the downstairs outer room, the fourth master and Lily were talking and laughing, Erfu took the tray held by the girl, poured hot tea for the fourth master with his own hands, and asked casually: "Master, why did you come here with my sister!"
"I met it in the flower hall. The fourth master replied impatiently, and chatted with Lily for a while, and then finally took the time to look at Erfu, who was facing the sky, and quickly got up and left under the pretext that there was something to do in the study in front of him.
Seeing this, Erfu was speechless, and she gestured to the sky in her heart.
She didn't believe that the fourth master would be a person who went back on her word, and she had expressed her distrust of Lily early on, but she was interested in Lily, and she didn't even hide it in front of herself, and she was courteous to the shy Lily, looking at the abnormal behavior of the fourth master, Erfu, who had read too many house fighting novels and palace fighting novels, where would she not be able to guess the fourth master's plan.
It was precisely because she understood the fourth master's approach that she felt speechless.
Lily, who sat on the next brocade stool, did not have the wonderful experience of Erfu, she saw that Erfu's face was very ugly, but Erfu was jealous of this hot chat between herself and the fourth master, smug hooked the corners of her lips, deliberately pulled the handkerchief, covered the lip flap covered with fiery red lip grease, and seemed to be a little tired and said goodbye, "Sister Erfu, I have been in the house for some time, and I haven't been back to the house all night, I'm afraid that Amma is going to die in a hurry, I plan to go back later, do you still need me to tell Amma!"
"Oh?
If you want to go back, go back early. Erfu replied casually, still thinking about the purpose of the fourth master's actions, and didn't notice Lily's pretended tired appearance at all, which also made Lily's performance in vain.
Only when Erph deliberately humiliated her Lily stomped her foot, she got up and walked out.
Hearing the sound of Lily's footsteps, Erfu came back to her senses, she hurriedly greeted the maid who was waiting outside the door to send off the guest, and she was also busy getting up and following out, in the end, it was her own sister, it was not good to make too much trouble in the fourth master's mansion, keep your good, I am good, everyone's good face, this is the style between the powerful ladies and daughters of this era, since she has made a decision, to manage her image, Erfu will naturally not be as free as before.
She sent Lily to the gate of the courtyard with a smile, and said softly: "My sister has just returned home, you are in such a hurry to leave, and my sister still has a lot to say to you, I am really reluctant to let you go!"
"In a few days, when the weather is cooler, Lily will come back to see her sister. "When it comes to acting, these powerful people and the daughters of the eunuchs definitely all have actress-level acting skills, although Lily is not very suitable for such a sudden change in Erfu, but she still quickly reflected it and responded with a smile.
Erfu also smiled and nodded, and said that he would give her a post in a few days, invite her to come over and listen to the play, and accompanied Lily to ask for peace for the Wulanala clan who was resting sickly, and then reluctantly sent Lily out of the second gate of the house, stood at the mouth of the alley and looked around for a while, and did a full set of send-off etiquette, and then turned around and went to the courtyard of the housekeeper with the maid.
There are not enough people around, and there are not enough people in the yard to sprinkle and sweep.
Erfu had to go to the housekeeper's yard in person, otherwise she would rely on Ya'er to deal with these old fritters alone, she was really afraid that she didn't know when to drag it out, and when the time came, she would have to rely on the fourth master to worry about the trivial matters in her yard.
The housekeeper's yard is between a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the house.
Here live are the old women with heads and faces in the house and the master embroiderers invited back from all over the country, in short, they are some slaves who are quite valued by the masters, and at the back of this courtyard, there are a few crooked old houses, where live are the old servants who can not be errands in the house.
Erf looked at the small courtyard where the gate was polished, and pouted unconsciously.
The housekeeper's surname is Geng, an old lady who came out of the palace, about forty years old, wearing a dark brown Luo Jin robe, and a pearl-studded forehead on her head, sitting next to the square table, drinking tea slowly, just like someone's old lady, but this statement is even if it is leaked, "Guerjia side Fujin, why do you have time to come to the old slave, if you have something to order, just send a little palace maid over to say it." ā
Erfu smiled and waved his hand, and said softly: "You said this too politely, I also came here for a trip, there is nothing big about it, you don't have to be so nervous, just sit down and talk." After speaking, she held the Maojian tea sent by the palace maid, sipped the hot tea slowly, and let Ya'er and Mama Geng play the trick.
The best Xinyang hair tip, the entrance is fragrant.
Erfu looked at the round Geng Mama, and said secretly: What an old pious woman who will enjoy, so he turned his head and looked at the furnishings in the room, and looked at the half-human high Ru kiln porcelain vase, don't look at the color is inconspicuous, just look at the translucent luminosity as thin as a cicada's wings, you can see that it is a good Ru kiln official kiln product, and then look at the red agate stone ornaments on the side, don't look at the price of red agate is not as valuable as other gemstones, but the natural pavilion is not a top carving master, absolutely not such a superb craftsmanship......
That's just a drop in the bucket.
Erph seemed to look around casually, but she had already made up her mind.
This Geng Mama is the most loyal and good slave of the Wulanala clan, if she can take her, she will definitely be able to cut off one of the arms of the Wulanala clan.
