Chapter One Thousand and Forty-Two
said so, but after returning to the study in the front yard as the most suspicious of the princes of the Kangxi Digital Army, he still solemnly called Chen Fu and Zhang Bao over and instructed them to investigate in detail all the experiences of Wulanala Shiruixi from birth to entering the mansion.
Different from the previous kind of random investigation like fooling things, this kind of investigation is very rigorous and detailed, although Chen Fu and Zhang Bao didn't know why the fourth master had such orders, they still respectfully went down and arranged it as soon as possible.
The Ulanala clan is one of the eight noble surnames in Manchuria.
If you want to investigate one of the married Gege, although it is not easy, it is not difficult, after all, long before this, Chen Fu and Zhang Bao had already stuffed their eyeliner into it in various ways in order to better control the movements of each mansion, but because the target of the investigation was a woman who grew up in the deep boudoir, Chen Fu and Zhang Bao, who were more focused on working in the front yards of various mansions, still took a lot of effort, so they investigated the experience of Wulanala Shiruixi from childhood to adulthood.
Of course, this is also because the fourth master attaches great importance to the every move of the Ulanala clan, so that he can find out so quickly.
The fourth master, who was sitting behind the bookcase, looked at the investigation results presented by Chen Fu with a blank face, and finally calmly waved his hand and ordered Chen Fu to go down.
According to the investigation results sent by Chen Fu, Pearl did not lie about all kinds of things wrong with Ruixi.
However, judging from the results of the investigation, Ruixi is indeed a registered show girl in the distant side branch of the Wulanala clan, because during the days when she lived in Beijing, she was favored by the Fujin Xitara clan, the old patriarch of the Wulanala clan, so she was made an exception to stay by her side to take care of her for a few years, and then she happened to catch up with the death of the Wulanala clan of the first Fujin, and then there was a good thing that was later canonized as the side Fujin Jinjin.
The fourth master took out the seriousness of dealing with the government affairs, looked back and forth several times about all the information about Ruixi Gege, and after thoroughly figured out some of the unreasonable points, he turned his head to look at Su Peisheng, who was leaning on the floor cover in a daze, and ordered: "Arrange for two inconspicuous little maids to go to the west courtyard to serve, and the master must know every move of this Ruixi side Fujin." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and asked Su Peisheng to go down to arrange, and called Wang Yicheng and the two brothers to come into the study to serve.
As Chen Fu gets older and older, his body is getting worse day by day, so the fourth master is handing over the power at the sticky rod in Chen Fu's hand to Su Peisheng little by little, and it is precisely because of this that Su Peisheng no longer continues to suppress the two brothers of the Wang family who are competing with him for the status in the fourth master's mind, and is more willing to follow Zhang Bao and Chen Fu to brush up their favorability, and secretly learn how to manage the sticky rod by the way.
According to the instructions of the fourth master, Su Peisheng happily came to the small courtyard where Chen Fu and Zhang Bao lived alone, found a little eunuch who was waiting in front of Zhang Bao, pulled out a chuckle in a restrained and subtle manner, casually gathered his sleeves, and walked to the side room with the door hidden in a gentle square step.
The changes in his time can be hidden from other people in the house, but he can't hide from Chen Fu and Zhang Bao, who are also parties, but because it is the meaning of the fourth master, Chen Fu and Zhang Bao don't have too many other feelings, so at this time, Su Peisheng came over to ask someone to keep an eye on Wulanala Shiruixi, and Zhang Bao very smoothly handed over some of the people in his hands that had just been cultivated to Su Peisheng to be responsible.
However, he was worried that Su Peisheng would not take these dozens of people to heart, so he still didn't forget to explain, "The people on this list are all small palace maids specially selected by Gonggong Chen before, they are young, easy to control, and there is no family behind them, and the identity is clean enough, if it is used well, it is also a good force, and it will be handed over to you for arrangement in the future." ”
After speaking, he told Su Peisheng about some special ways of contacting the ears and eyes at the sticky rod, and left Su Peisheng to drink a cup of tea in the room and say a few gossips, and then sent Su Peisheng out of the courtyard.
——————
These small actions in the front yard, the woman in the backyard is not clear and does not care much.
In their opinion, with this time, it is more important to think about the preferences of the fourth master, and Ruixi, who has just entered the mansion, is no exception, she got up early and followed the housekeeper of the West Courtyard, Mama Xiao, to the kitchen.
Mama Xiao is the grandmother of Ruixi of the Wulanala clan, and she also married to the Fourth Master's Mansion with Ruixi this time.
She is forty years old, with a kind fat round face and rich figure, and is best at cooking delicacies and knitting and embroidery, originally she thought that Wulanala Shi Ruixi would choose another grandmother who is better at being in charge, and even asked her good sister to find another errand for her, but she didn't expect that this good thing of marrying into the house fell on her head, and now Wulanala Shi Ruixi asked her to cook a cup of delicious and refreshing soup, of course she would not refuse.
It's just that she still didn't expect Ruixi to follow her to the kitchen to work.
"Master, there is too much smoke in this kitchen, you better go back to the front room and rest first, and when the slave and maid are almost ready, you can come back again." As the smoke in the kitchen became heavier and heavier, Mama Xiao stopped her movements with some anxiety and suggested softly with a worried face.
Ruixi smiled kindly, shook his head indifferently and said: "It's my duty to cook food for the fourth master, it's not hard, don't persuade me, how can I be so squeamish." After speaking, she took the soup spoon in Mama Xiao's hand, and concentrated on stirring the light soup in the stew pot, her face was full of quiet and gentle smiles, she was really like the most virtuous wife, no matter which man saw it, he couldn't resist the power of this smile.
However, her purpose is not to rely on virtuous Shuya to leave a place in the fourth master's mind, just to reassure the women who are guarding against her in the backyard.
Don't think that she just entered the palace and didn't know that the servants who served in the courtyard were mostly eyeliner and nails arranged by other women in the backyard, the reason why she didn't move was just because she didn't want the suspicious man in the front yard to guard against it, since she wanted to gain a firm foothold in the fourth master's mansion, of course she wouldn't be anxious, and she wouldn't mix up all kinds of rights and wrongs in the backyard in a daze.
Before entering the mansion, Ruixi of the Wulanala clan had already asked her to secretly arrange the people who entered the Fourth Master's Mansion, and investigated the personality preferences of the ladies in each courtyard of the Fourth Lord's Mansion, and carefully referred to the experience of these women after entering the mansion, she felt that the best thing to learn from was the successful experience of the Fujin Guerjia clan who successfully climbed to the position of Fu Jin, but she did not copy the success of Erfu in its entirety, but changed it a little in a planned way.
And the first advantage she wants to show to the fourth master is her first-hand cooking skills.
In order to make the fourth master pay more attention to her advantages, of course she will not be lazy to hand over the somewhat tedious and boring work of boiling soup to Mama Xiao.
The temperature in the kitchen is very high, in order not to be disrupted by the heat and sweat on the makeup on the face, make a messy look, she got up early and swept a thin layer of jasmine balsam powder mixed with pearl powder on her face, this time a busy morning, although the body was contaminated with the smell of the kitchen, but it did not damage her beauty and temperament, and finally waited until the soup boiled into the flavor, she ordered Mama Xiao to bring a pure white rolling silver orchid twig edge stew pot that she specially brought from Wulanala's house, carefully packed the light taste of barley and winter melon pork rib soup, and carefully wiped the handprint marks on the outside of the stew cup, carefully wrapped in a handkerchief and put it in the food box.
"Twist a handkerchief. She carefully arranged the flag dress on her body, turned her head and commanded.
The palace maid who was waiting next to her was busy wringing the wet handkerchief and respectfully sending it to the hands of Ruixi of the Wulanara clan, only then did she carry the food box containing the stew cup in her hand, took half a step back and followed behind Ruixi, left the kitchen that did not smell fresh and beautiful, and served Ruixi back to the inner room of the upper room to wash and change clothes.
Ruixi, who had washed up, did not rush to put on makeup, estimated the time, changed into a fairly elegant grass and green flag suit, and came to the gate of the courtyard with a plain face.
She waited for a cup of tea, and the fourth master led Su Peisheng and the others to the gate of the West Courtyard.
Although the fourth master, who attaches the most importance to the rules, is a little reluctant to take turns to sleep in the house, but every time it is the day of the day to stay in whose room it is to go to, he will still come over for lunch, so as not to let the women in the backyard compete for favor and please him in the name of sending tonic soup and snacks.
The fourth master saw Ruixi from a distance leading the close-knit palace maid waiting for the door, and said that he didn't feel anything in his heart, it was definitely a lie, but it couldn't reach the point of being moved inexplicably, but it still didn't prevent him from showing a good face, and he cared about Ruixi who was blushing in the sun, "Why are you waiting at the door so early, just come over and come out, you are not afraid of being sunburned." ”
After speaking, he took Ruixi into his arms with his long arms and walked towards the upper room of the west courtyard.
Now the West Courtyard can no longer see the appearance of Erfu when he still lives in the West Courtyard, compared to the elegance and simplicity at that time, more flamboyant and gorgeous, when the elegantly dressed Ruixi sat on the bed of the Golden Arhat, there was a feeling of detachment from the world, even the fourth master, who was used to seeing beauties, was a little moved, and he couldn't wait to immediately pull the beauty in front of him to love it, but he just thought about it, and tried to move his attention to the meal on the table.
"The concubine didn't know what the master liked to eat, but I heard the people in the kitchen say that the master tasted light, so they prepared a few refreshing side dishes randomly, and I hope the master will not dislike it. Ruixi looked at the fourth master's movement of his body, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile, but he didn't pretend to be smart, but walked to the table very considerately, pointed to the dishes on the table, and said softly.
After speaking, she personally filled a bowl of soup and sent it to the fourth master.
"This is the soup that the concubine has been busy with all morning, and I invite you to taste it. Wulanala Shi Ruixi held a soup bowl with a circle of silver orchids wrapped around the branches, walked up to the fourth master in a lotus step, and said softly.
Gently pull Luo's skirt and move the lotus step, marry another woman, mix the soup with her hands, and treat you with shame.
Looking at the Wulanala Shiruixi with a little caution and awe in his eyebrows and eyes, the fourth master had a sentence in his heart, he took the soup bowl with a smile, took a big sip very refreshingly, nodded with satisfaction and said: "This soup tastes good, the heat is full, it seems that you are careful, you like the taste of this soup very much." ”
After speaking, he drank all the barley and winter melon pork rib soup in the soup bowl in one go.
"It's good if you like it. Ulanala Shi Ruixi took the empty soup bowl with a shy smile and replied softly.
When the fourth master heard this, he hooked his lips and smiled, stood up, followed the footsteps of Wulanala Shirui to the table and sat down, as a matter of course, he enjoyed the careful service of Wulanala Shiruixi, and praised the previous sentence from time to time.
Ruixi of the Wulanala clan, who wanted to keep the fourth master to rest in the west courtyard, watched the fourth master walk away with some disappointment, and before she could restrain the loss on her face, the palace maid Mo Lan, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Master, don't be sad, it's a good thing that Chang Fujin is valued by the master, only if Chang Fujin's position is stable enough, she won't do everything possible to deal with the other concubines in the backyard." ”
"I know. "Ulanara, you Ruixi lowered her eyes to hide the cold light under your eyes.
After saying that, she walked directly to the courtyard, and at the same time instructed Mo Lan to go to the kitchen to prepare hot water.
If it weren't for the fact that she was showing her gentleness in front of the fourth master, she would have prepared a large bucket of fragrant soup sprinkled with flower petals to bathe, but now that the fourth master is gone, she doesn't have to continue to pretend, it's better to make herself fragrant quickly.
After a while, the small kitchen brought hot water to the upper room clean room.
Wulanala Shi Ruixi calmly took off the clothes and hair accessories on his body, put on a long hair as shiny and smooth as black satin, stepped on the small stool placed by the bathtub, walked to the bathtub and sat down, squinting his eyes slightly, enjoying Mama Xiao's service.
The reason why she chose to take Mama Xiao into the house to serve was that Mama Xiao's amazing massage skills were the main factor.
Wulanala Shi Ruixi was half lying in the bathtub, letting Mama Xiao dredge her muscles and bones for her, until the fragrant soup in the bathtub gradually cooled, she opened her eyes, got up and left the bathtub sprinkled with flower petals, changed into a light cyan bed, draped the long hair that had not had time to dry, and sat on the Luohan bed half-leaning and half-lying down, and fell asleep on the thin quilt.
She slept for an hour.
By the time she sat up from sleep, her long hair was completely dry.
"Master, why don't you let the slave and maid take care of your makeup!" Lu Calyx, who had been waiting beside him, hurriedly stepped forward and carefully tucked the soft pillow behind Ula Nara Shi Ruixi, and reminded softly.
Hearing this, Wulanala Shi Ruixi raised his eyebrows and looked at the makeup box by the window, shook his head slightly, and said: "Don't be so troublesome, I don't plan to go out to the yard left and right, you can just find a silk ribbon and tie up my long hair for me, and then find a lighter color Hangzhou silk flag to put it on." ”
After saying that, she pulled back her long hair and lay down lazily on the soft pillow.
