Chapter 492: Plot: Aunt Hair (2)
Chapter 492
Erfu stroked her head a little helplessly, sighed almost inaudibly, and then turned her head and glanced at the kneeling servants around her, only to see that although they were all kneeling on the ground, their heads were clinging to the bluestone floor tiles, but the thief's slippery little eyes were swirling around the fourth master, Fu Jin and the embarrassed Qu Yao, and he hurriedly stepped forward and reminded softly: "Master, Fu Jin, let's go in and talk, this is standing outside, let them see the joke plainly, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"
The Wulanala clan also noticed the eyes of those servants, nodded approvingly, leaned into the fourth master's ear, and whispered: "My sister is right, master, let's go in and talk!"
The fourth master also knew that this courtyard was not the place to speak, so he could only glance at it hatefully, and Qu Yao, who was still scratching his head and making a gesture, flicked his sleeves, kicked Su Peisheng, who was stunned, and strode towards the upper room.
Poor Su Peisheng was stunned and looked at Qu Yao sa splash, he was kicked so suddenly without even taking precautions, and he fell directly to the ground without even handing over the sound, and only had time to look at the dashing back of the fourth master, and he trotted all the way up without even dusting off the dust on his body.
――――
In the upper room, the fourth master and others sat down in turn, Qi Xiang hurriedly sent hot tea and snacks, and then retreated to the side to stand still, Qu Yao was also half-pulled and half-dragged by Mama Fu to the hall.
"Let's talk about it, who made you come to the master's mansion to do nonsense?" The fourth master took a deep breath, eased his emotions slightly, and asked in a cold voice without looking at Qu Yao.
Qu Yao also has a little eyesight, and he can see that the fourth master's face is not very good.
Of course. Maybe she wanted to understand that her current image might not be very good, so she didn't continue to be arrogant, but knelt down in the hall with low eyebrows. Hearing the fourth master's question, he hurriedly pinched the tender meat on his legs, squeezed out a few crystal clear teardrops, red eyes, learned the tone of Mama Fu's speech, and said very humbly: "The slave really doesn't know what you mean, the master, the slave and the maid know that they have made a big mistake." I didn't dare to ask the master for forgiveness, but I also asked the master to calm his anger and never hurt his body. ”
After speaking. Qu Yao kowtowed heavily, with a look of listening to life and death, straightened his waist, and put on a posture of seeing death as home.
As soon as the fourth master returned home, he heard that the main courtyard was on fire. Hurried all the way to the main courtyard. The whole person was in a state of nervousness, so although he heard what happened from Mama Fu, he missed some small details, and smart people have a bad habit, that is, they like to think more, so they can't help but think crookedly, and they have walked into a fork in the road, and they will do something very simple. I thought it was complicated.
Therefore, the fourth master didn't know what to do with this little person who 'might catch the person behind the scenes' for a while. had to let Mama Fu go down to wash with Qu Yao with an embarrassed face first, and he took this opportunity to discuss with the Wulanala clan how to deal with this matter.
"This person looks stupid, but he is actually cunning, Lan Qin, how do you say to get the clues of the person behind the scenes from this person's mouth?" The fourth master glanced sideways at the Wulanala clan, and asked in a low voice at a loss.
The Wulanala clan has always been smart, how could she not see the fourth master's plan, so even if she was full of anger and had nowhere to spill it, and hated Qu Yao to death in her heart, she also knew that now was not the time for her to come out, so she hurriedly sorted out the expression on her face, smiled ashamedly, sighed as if she was helpless, and said in a soft voice full of helplessness: "The concubine is just a deep lady, where do you understand those big things in the court, naturally listen to the meaning of the master." ”
"Well, Lan Qin has always been reasonable, so I'll make a decision for you. The fourth master nodded with satisfaction, praised the Wulanala clan with a smile, and said loudly, "Although this person seems to be just an inconspicuous play, but I think there must be a master messenger behind the manipulation, in order not to startle the snake, this person will be handed over to the Li clan first, let her take it back, and wait for me to discuss it carefully with a few staff members, and then deal with it." ”
"The concubine listens to the master. The Ulanala clan and the Li clan glanced at each other and replied in unison.
Seeing that this matter had a decision for the time being, the fourth master did not stay in the main courtyard for long, turned his head and greeted Su Peisheng, then went back to the front to change clothes and wash, and hurried back to the palace to serve the sick.
The three female dependents, including the Ulanala clan and Erfu, sent off the fourth master, and returned to the upper room to sit down again, and couldn't help but glance at each other in unison, revealing a helpless look.
"Now that this matter has been taken care of, the concubine will go back first. Erfu, who was a little speechless watching the play, rubbed her sore shoulders, got up and made a blessing salute, and said softly.
"Okay, I originally wanted to leave you in the courtyard for a light meal, but this is really a coincidence, let's wait another day for our sisters to talk together!"
Li Shi left from the fourth master like an old monk in a fixed place, until the room, only the Wulanala clan and Fu Mama were left, only then came back to their senses, full of apologetic to the Wulanala clan, bowed his head slightly and whispered: "This matter is said to be too negligent of the concubine to make such a mess, and please take care of Fujin." ”
Wulanala glanced at Qu Yao, who was standing dejectedly under the corridor, and looked at Li with some schadenfreude, and had no mind to worry about her, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's no wonder that you are going to do this, it's just that you really have to restrain the people around you, how can you get any cats and dogs into the house, this is because it was discovered early, if she is sent to the master's side, I don't know what trouble will happen!"
Today, you're tired too, so go back and rest early. After speaking, the Ulanala clan waved his hand, picked up the tea bowl, and gave the order to evict the guests.
The action of the Ulanala clan looking out did not shy away from the meaning of the Li clan, and the Li clan kept staring at the Ulanala clan, so naturally he did not miss her movements, looking at the gloating faintly revealed in the eyes of the Ulanala clan, he couldn't help but feel that he didn't want to.
But she had to follow the instructions of the fourth master, so she had to pinch her nose and endure this bad luck. got up and saluted, and without even saying a word, she staggered out, but even she was so angry that the top of her head was smoking. I didn't forget to ask Liuli to take Qu Yao back to the West Courtyard.
"Master, why does the old slave think this is a little strange?" The upper room returned to calm, and Mama Fu saw that the face of the Wulanala clan had improved, so she cautiously reminded, "If that person is really the nail arranged by the master's political enemies to enter the mansion, how can he run around without even knowing the slightest rules, shouldn't he be careful to hide and wait for the opportunity?"
"Don't worry about it!
Are you fooling me? I think she's just a beautiful woman. But she doesn't have a brain, she just wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix, but since the fourth master thinks that there is someone behind her. I already have an idea again, so why did I come out of that head for no reason, why don't you provoke the fourth master?
If you really think there's something wrong with this, just let someone watch it carefully.
Anyway, that has been arranged by the fourth master to the Li family. If something goes wrong. That's also Lee's responsibility. Ulanala sneered, took a sip of hot tea elegantly, and then raised his eyes to look at Mama Fu and explained softly.
Speaking of which, from beginning to end of this matter, the Ulanala clan has one feeling, that is, it is extremely ridiculous, but it is such a brainless play. actually wants to be a concubine with a head and a face in the house, I really don't know if she is too bold. Or is she too ignorant!
And it's such a thing, and the Li family is still hiding it as a good thing.
Not only that, but even the fourth master was dazed by her words, if it weren't for the Wulanala clan knowing the fourth master as if he knew himself, he would really be the fourth master is faint!
But even if she is confident that her judgment is correct, she can't be that smart person, to puncture the 'truth' that the fourth master himself imagined, and can only patiently wait for the fourth master to wake up.
Of course, before this, there was such a reckless and ignorant woman who blocked the Li family, and the Wulanala family was quite happy, so he didn't embarrass the Li family, and directly asked the Li family to bring people back.
"Is the loss point on the firewood room clear?" Wulanala clan, who understood this, smiled again, and then remembered her two firewood houses that were destroyed by fire, and turned her head to Mama Fu a little depressedly and asked.
A good memory is better than a bad pen.
Although Mama Fu has a good memory, because there are too many things to worry about, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, so she has developed the habit of carrying a notepad with her, and writes down everything that happens every day in the booklet she carries with her, so as to deal with the problems that may arise at any time from the master.
As soon as she finished asking, she had already found the contents recorded in the booklet, and replied calmly: "The firewood room is full of unscrupulous things, and the more valuable things among them are only the warped head case of the wenge wood carved cloud scroll pattern that was placed in the wing room before, because the corner of the table is a little painted, and it is waiting for the craftsmen in the house to come and repair it, so it is temporarily stored in the firewood room."
As for the other things that were damaged, that is, a few baskets of red charcoal, a few bundles of firewood, some vases and other porcelain that had cracked and chipped. ”
After listening patiently, the Ulanala clan nodded slightly, signaling that she knew, but she didn't take this little gadget to heart, but instead looked at the booklet that Mama Fu was stuffing into her sleeve, and joked with a smile: "I said Mama, you don't leave the booklet in your hand all day long, and you are not afraid that this thing will fall into the hands of others." ”
"Master, your worries are justified.
However, the old slave is a careful person, and he has never lost anything, even if he loses it, except for the old slave, others can't understand these records, and he is not afraid of being picked up by others. Hearing this, Mama Fu paused for a moment, took the booklet in her hand again, opened the cover, and sent it to the eyes of the Ulanala clan, and said in a low voice.
Wulanala smiled and flipped through the booklet sent by Mama Fu, and saw that the records in it were all words that seemed to be Chinese and non-Chinese, anyway, she didn't recognize a word, so she was relieved, raised her hand and handed the booklet back to Mama Fu's hand, took a deep breath, and looked at the plum bottle placed on the inside of the glass window inlaid in the center of the floor cover, and said slowly: "Mama has always been careful, I am naturally a hundred rest assured, I just said casually, but it is just a reminder for Mama."
Now the situation in the court is unclear, the situation of the fourth master is not good, those old ministers who are better than monkeys are either neutral to protect themselves, or they fall with the wind like grass on the wall, and some even want to take our master to befriend them, so we must be more careful, don't let the people around us take advantage of our loopholes.
Guerga has a saying that a solid fortress is often broken from within.
In order to avoid this situation, Mama has been working hard these days, taking advantage of this time in the Pearl Hui clan, putting aside the details of the palace maids and miscellaneous servants in our yard, and checking their relatives, old friends, and what are the brothers and sisters, don't miss anything, if there is anything wrong, drive it out, anyway, there are many people in our yard. After speaking, he called Qi Xiang and told Qi Xiang to help and help Mama Fu, so that Mama Fu would not be too busy herself, and that Mama Fu would not trust the little maid next to her, and there would be any negligence.
Mama Fu also understood that this matter of taking the heir was like walking on the edge of a cliff blind, if she didn't even know the details of the people around her, she would definitely die to pieces, so she nodded very approvingly about the matter ordered by the Ulanala clan, and she was already thinking about where to start in her heart.
This is definitely not that Mama Fu is incompetent and timid, it is really that the banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have grown too fast in the past hundred years, and the forces have long been intertwined, and it is difficult to find out who is black and who is white.
Don't look at the palace maids, mothers-in-law, and eunuchs who serve in the main courtyard, there are only thirty people together, but there are a lot of clans involved behind it, so this is definitely a big project, and only an old fox like Mama Fu, whose hair is empty, can afford such a burden, and even Qi Xiang doesn't have the ability.
So Erfu had also thought about this before, but when she thought of how those slaves and bully their masters and couldn't get rid of the tail of the big family of the Internal Affairs Department joined forces with those eunuchs in the palace to figure out the affairs of the last emperors, she could only bury this idea deep in her heart, and she didn't even talk about the palace maids she trusted very much, such as Yaoqin and Guzheng.
"By the way, there are also the haha beads around Honghui, and they must also be carefully checked, although they are all selected from the Ulanala clan, it is difficult to ensure that they are all loyal to our master. Seeing that Mama Fu had already discussed with Qi Xiang where to start, Wulanala hurriedly added.
I want to ask who is the most important thing about the Ulanala clan?
That is naturally her only son, in order to better take care of Honghui to grow up safely, she resolutely chose not to raise any more, and paid such a big price, it can be seen that the Wulanala clan treats Honghui as an eyeball.
So although Honghui lost the qualification to fight for the position of the prince, she still did not give up the idea of protecting Honghui for a stable life.
