Chapter 280: The Fourth Master of Hard Work

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed unconsciously.

Su Peisheng came forward to go to the sewing room to cut the new eunuch robe, which has been in Erfu's hands for several days, ironing it several times in a row, not to mention, the eldest grandmother also thoughtfully changed it according to Erfu's size, so that Erfu will not look like a naughty child who steals adult clothes.

It was another morning, Erfu leaned on the head of the bed with a sad face, pulled a wisp of green silk in her little hand, and said casually: "Master, you see that the weather is getting warmer and warmer these days, shouldn't we go outside!"

As she spoke, Erfu didn't forget to glance at the soap-colored eunuch robe on the yellow rosewood carved moire hanger in the corner.

"You just want to replace Su Peisheng's monkey cub errand?" The fourth master casually sent Yuhua, who had just combed his hair, and looked at Su Peisheng, who was standing outside the door, like a pine and a cypress, and said in a tone full of ridicule.

How could Ellef be embarrassed to say that she was holding back her hair in the house, and she had to say a lie that everyone could see, and she twisted her eyebrows seriously, as if she really didn't want to waste the robe that the embroidery girl had been busy with for two or three days.

"I didn't think that the clothes were all made, and if I didn't go out for a walk, wouldn't it be a waste!"

When the fourth master heard this, he hooked his lips and smiled.

"Since you want to go out for a walk with your master, you can't pick your son halfway, otherwise your master won't spare you!"

As he spoke, the fourth master had already walked to Erfu's side, pinching Erfu's little hand that was so tender that it left a mark when he touched it, as if he couldn't bear to let her delicate flower raised in the greenhouse go outside to blow the wind and rain.

But I want to see what kind of Erfu the fourth master is in the working state, how can I be hit by the words of the fourth master!

"It's better to choose a day than to hit a day. I don't seem to be busy today, so I'll go and join in the fun!"

After speaking, Erfu didn't care whether the fourth master agreed or not, and lifted the quilt and walked off the stepping bed. didn't greet the maids outside, but took care of himself and walked behind the screen with a full set of eunuch clothes.

After a while, Erf's small hill, which was not grandiose, was completely flattened by cotton, and he was wearing a well-cut eunuch's robe, and his hair was combed with ordinary braids, and he really stepped on the embroidered shoes embroidered with Tilian like a delicate little eunuch. Came out from behind the screen.

“(⊙o⊙)...”

The fourth master's wide-eyed phoenix eyes revealed the divine beast alpaca that spread its hooves and ran wildly in his heart. caused a burst of helplessness.

Seeing Erfu's energetic appearance, the fourth master really couldn't bear to overturn his promise.

"Now that we're dressed up, let's hurry up and eat and go to the Criminal Department to sit in the hall as soon as possible!" The villain in the fourth master's heart wept and regretted. But he had to hold on to the shelf. Lang Sheng called in Yuhua and the others to set the meal.

Yuhua, who heard the sound, carried the food box and looked at his own master who had turned into a little eunuch, only hoping that it would all end soon, and even looked at the fourth master in the sweat with some suspicion, and secretly blamed the master of the iceberg for not being able to restrain his own brain circuits, and the master who often messed around.

Several delicate side dishes were served, a plate full of Dengden, golden fried noodles, and a plate of fragrant rose cakes. Two baskets of hot buns, and a cup of sweet and fragrant red dates, lotus seeds, and japonica rice porridge. It was all the breakfast of Erfu and the fourth master.

The fourth master took a bite of the beef bun and took a sip of the hot porridge, only to feel warm and comfortable all over his body, looking at Xiao Nizi who was struggling with the rose cake, he couldn't help but joke: "I heard the eldest grandmother say, the recent expenses in our house are getting less and less, and they must have been influenced by you!"

"That's also Fujin's willingness to support, they are happy to cooperate, otherwise just by myself, the chicken, duck and fish meat used in Nafu is still consumed like flowing water!" Yun Youran has recently become obsessed with this brown sugar and rose filled cake, even if she knows that the fourth master doesn't like the smell of this floral fragrance, she still lets Xiaoshengzi prepare it every day.

The fourth master saw that Erfu was eating too attentively, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed two chopsticks for Erfu and mixed the gherkins with chili powder, "It's just that those kitchen masters are suffering!"

"What's the pain?" asked Erff with a look of adority.

"Although there are not many masters in the house, they all order their own food, so it is inevitable that they will be a little busy, and it will be troublesome for the people who buy them to prepare the food!" the fourth master raised his forehead and said in a low voice.

Erfu put down the silver chopsticks in his hand with a straight face, looked at the fourth master, looked up and down for a moment, and after a long while, he said slowly: "But someone is looking for you to complain?"

Who dared to come to him in this mansion to complain about Fang Fujin's actions, the only one who expressed his displeasure was Wu Gege who came out of the palace, saying that it was not enough to reflect the identity and status of the fourth master, Balabala's ......

But the fourth master is also strange, as the big palace maid in the dim sum room, Wu Gege's usual routine is one meat, one vegetable and one meal, why did he just enter the house and talk about pomp!

"Not really!" The fourth master didn't want to upset Xiao Nizi for this trivial matter, so he shrugged his shoulders and said.

Erfu also thinks that this should be the case, just looking at the fourth master's perennial paralyzed face, if he dares to go to him and chew the root of his tongue, it is basically tired and crooked.

"Actually, I think this is very good, otherwise the table of chicken, duck and fish will cost a lot, not to mention, and it will be greasy to eat every day. Like now, every five days, the father-in-law Liu in the dining room will draw up a new menu, and then send it to each courtyard for the masters to choose the dishes, and the people who buy it will not waste things according to the order, and as for the live chickens and ducks that make the dining room steward annoyed, there is no need to prepare so many at once!" she tilted her head and said.

Although Erfu doesn't understand the prices of this era, he still thinks that the things he buys in the house are more expensive than the market price, and with the remaining ingredients that are not used every day, Erfu hurts the little four children's shoes.

Seeing the horizontal development of several cooks and chefs working in the dining room, Erfu expressed his reluctance to tolerate the adulterer. Although it is not possible to stop them from stealing some chicken, duck and fish meat to go home to make up for it, it is much better than before.

The fourth master ate the last bun in his stomach, and drank the porridge slowly with a spoon in his hand, until Erfu's face was a little ugly. Only then did he raise his eyebrows casually, and said casually: "Ye didn't say anything about you, since Fujin handed over the affairs of this mansion to you." I can trust you!"

"This is about the same, even children understand that food is not easy to come by, even if we don't have enough food and drink in our house, but we can't waste it like this!" Erfu glanced at the fourth master with satisfaction, and casually threw a slice of thin to translucent beef to Momofu, who was circling on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the two who filled their stomachs put on their hats and led the small tails of Su Peisheng and the two brothers of the Wang family, who were standing softly at the door. I slipped into the front yard.

For the first time, the fourth master did not ride a horse, and went to the criminal department with Erfu in a carriage with a blue silk canopy and red wheel.

As soon as the punishment part was given to the fourth master's office, the fourth master asked Su Peisheng to wait and change into a big dress. Sitting behind the bookcase in his regular clothes, he beckoned Erfu to come forward and study the ink, and without a word of nonsense, he looked through the documents piled up on the table.

The job of grinding ink seems to be easy to say. But it took a long time to do it. But it's very tiring.

For example, at this time, Erfu only felt that her wrists were as heavy as a sandbag, and a little beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her delicate and fair little face was dyed red.

For a full hour, Su Peisheng wanted to replace the obviously tired side Fujin master several times, but looking at the slightly raised corners of his master's lips, his legs that wanted to step out were as heavy as lead.

"Huhuhuhu......" Time passes little by little. Erfu couldn't help but throw a small look at Su Peisheng for help, but looked at Su Peisheng's virtue of pretending to be deaf and dumb. She couldn't help but gasp.

The fourth master listened to the heavier and heavier breathing sound of Erfu in his ears, raised his eyebrows and looked at Erfu's red little face, suppressed the pity in his heart, and said casually as if he didn't care: "I'm tired, let Wang Yicheng come and serve!"

Being underestimated, Erfu said that she was unhappy, but she was really reluctant to suffer again, blinking her watery eyes, looking at Wang Yicheng, who had already rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward, and then looked at the almost empty ink in the inkstone, as if she had found a reason to convince herself, she handed over the hot ink to Wang Yicheng, and stood next to Su Peisheng.

The candidate for Yanmo was changed around him, and the fourth master didn't look up, and continued to toss in the mountains and seas of scrolls.

At noon, the little maid came to the study to deliver food, and the fourth master looked up impatiently and got up, washing his hands, and instructed Su Peisheng to lead Erfu to set the meal, looking at Erfu who was grinning when he walked, and then realized his carelessness.

Pulling the handkerchief and wiping his hands casually, he came to Erfu's side in a few big steps, grabbed Erfu horizontally, and placed Xiao Nizi on the Luohan bed by the window.

"Silly girl, you don't know how to sit down and rest when you're tired of standing!" the fourth master pinched Erfu's already stiff legs, and said with distress.

Erfu raised her eyebrows, and was just about to be coquettish, when she saw Su Peisheng's strange appearance of squeezing her eyebrows, she looked up at the figure walking outside, and lowered her voice, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I'm not used to standing so stupidly, I guess it's good to rest for a while!"

"Bring the rice and put it here!" the fourth master commanded loudly, ignoring Erfu's struggle, which could basically be ignored.

Su Peisheng immediately withdrew his gossip eyes, carried the food box sent in by the little servant to the fourth master, and put the four dishes and one soup that were not exquisite on the small tea table.

The fourth master casually stuffed the tableware sent by Su Peisheng into Erfu's hand, sandwiched a few pieces of fish and meat and put them on the plate, pushed them in front of Erfu's eyes, and said softly: "I don't see that you are not squeamish on weekdays, so I didn't order the house to send food over, just make do with a bite." In the evening, I will take you to Dashilan to eat roast lamb shank, a little lamb with water, salty, fragrant and spicy, and you can't stop eating!"

Standing for a long time, the water and rice were not beaten, and the little stock in Erfu's stomach had already been consumed, and he didn't care about adding rice for the fourth master at this time, so he took a big bite of rice into his mouth, and wiped out a small bowl of rice in the blink of an eye.

"Although this fish is not very tasty, it is better than a salty word, and it is very good!" Erfu looked at the stunned fourth master, and with some embarrassment, he took the handkerchief and touched the corner of his lips, and bowed his head with a red face and said.

"Don't worry, eat slowly!" As the fourth master spoke, he had already delivered the porcelain basin full of rice to Erfu.

Well, there was sweet and delicious japonica rice in front of her, and Erfu's mouth began to secrete saliva again, although she was still a little blushing and the amount of rice increased, but she still quickly adjusted her mood, planning to fill her stomach first, and then save her image in front of the fourth master.

After quickly eliminating three small bowls of rice, half a fish, a chicken thigh, and a few greens, Erph's stomach was full.

"Why didn't you eat it?" Erfu noticed that the rice in the small bowl in front of the fourth master had not moved, smiled a little awkwardly, and asked in a low voice.

"I'm used to eating the craftsmanship of the little boy in your yard, and I don't like to eat the food cooked in this dining room!" The fourth master would never admit that he was worried that his little girl would not be able to eat, so he thought about waiting for Erfu to fill his stomach before moving the chopsticks.

"Then you can't be hungry, just like you said, just pad your stomach first, and go eat something delicious in the evening!" said Erph with a smile.

The fourth master bowed slightly, picked up the small bowl, elegantly and quickly eliminated the rice in the bowl, drank another bowl of pork rib soup, returned to the bookcase, and started his work without even taking a sip of the hot tea offered by Erfu himself.

This would be a workaholic in modern times!, Erf couldn't help but complain.

......

At sunset, listening to the small movements outside, the fourth master stretched his waist, stood up, and instructed Su Peisheng to put away the dress, sat next to Erfu with a smile, and waited for Wang Yicheng and the two brothers to clean up the various files on the table while drinking tea.

"Is Ye so busy on weekdays?" Erfu couldn't believe her eyes, all day, except for eating and going to the toilet, the fourth master never left the table carved with five blessings and longevity.

"This is not busy, if it is to catch up with the days before the seal, I am afraid it will be even busier!" The fourth master has been used to it since the day he was on duty in various departments, looking at Erfu's undisguised distress, he shook his braids with a smile and said loudly.

While the two were talking, the two brothers of the Wang family had already cleaned up the chaotic files on the table and placed them on the bookshelf up to Chengchen according to a certain rule, leaving the volumes that had not yet been processed, neatly stacked, and then returned to the side of the fourth master to stand still.

"The people outside are almost gone, let's go too!" The fourth master looked outside, got up and tidied up his somewhat wrinkled robe, and said with a smile.

Sitting back in the carriage, Erf finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To tell the truth, when she sat on the Luohan bed and watched the biography of her travels all afternoon, it was really a worry, for fear that anyone who didn't understand the rules would push the door and come in, so that people would find out that the fourth master led her, a female dependent, into the yamen of the criminal department.

"One time is enough, right?" the fourth master smiled and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Erfu, and asked softly.

Erfu smiled and talked about her mood when she sat on the Luohan bed and was lazy, "It's actually quite exciting!"

"It's just a trivial matter in the yamen, it's boring for you to sit there, so let's wait for the next time I go outside with Huang Ama to make a fool of myself!" The fourth master looked at Erfu's little face that was both painful and satisfied, and couldn't help but think of the various beautiful scenery he saw when he inspected Jiangnan with Kangxi, and proposed with a smile.
