Chapter 257: Closing the Net (2)

Chapter 257

The days seem to have returned to the dull again, the thriller blockbusters that have been staged for several days in a row, and the illusion of Erf has also disappeared, and the sweet girl who was always loyal to the main room and the big girls in the past is close to the sweet girl, and is also obsessed with fiddling with flowers and plants, and pretending to be tails by Cao Yuan's side all day long, which makes Erfu feel that this drama is about to end.

In October, the pleasant autumn breeze turns, and the cold of winter is unique, sweeping this large mansion that is not peaceful.

The fourth master, as usual, ran between the court, the six departments, and Changchun Garden, and never set foot in Zhuangzi again, so that the originally premeditated Song family was a little energetic and had nowhere to go, and the Li family preferred such a scene, when Erfu completely lost power, she didn't want to pull up a sesame-stuffed woman with a black belly of Bilf and compete with her for the family background of the fourth master and the fourth master's mansion.

The Wulanala clan also became calm from the initial dazedness, and seemed to have come back to the spirit, taking back the power of the family that was originally in the hands of the Song family and the Li family, and taking care of Erfu, who was weak in Zhuangzi, so that the wary Erfu had a little more comfort.

"Ah!" In the early morning, Erfu's screams resounded through the Yuehua Courtyard, making the rough maid who was bowing her head and sweeping tremble, but she shook her head habitually, and continued to do the work at hand, without looking at the main room with the doors and windows closed.

This scene has indeed become a commonplace in Yuehua Courtyard, since the day of the fight, Erfu asked the eldest grandmother to deliver the remnants of the meal to the fourth master, and soon the fourth master sent back the results of the examination by Imperial Doctor Tian through the people arranged by Zhang Bao in the dark.

That medicine doesn't mean to kill people, but it can put people's spirits in a state of great fear. Plagued by nightmares every day, he will produce all kinds of delusions, and eventually become a delirious idiot.

Since getting accurate information. Erf began her days of pretending to be stupid.

first woke up in a night's sleep and ran wildly in the yard, and then grabbed half-cooked beef and added it to his stomach, and the appearance of the cloak really scared the people in the yard, but the big grandmother who knew the inside story secretly admired Erfu's acting skills.

Erf didn't know about this. Otherwise, Erf will definitely talk to the eldest grandmother about the actor's self-cultivation and other big truths, after all, after watching so many TV series, Erf will still pretend.

But it's an errand to pretend to be a madman. It's easy to say, but if you don't want to show your stuffing, you have to hold that energy every day, and it's really tiring.

Fortunately, in the autumn. The temperature is pleasant. She has Yuhua and others by her side to serve her, but it won't make her suffer too much.

Even so, after running around outside, Erf can always sweat profusely, which makes her admire the actors who are thrown on the set to film on various sets in the hot and cold weather, and sure enough, it is not easy in all walks of life.

"Master, how long do you want to do this?" Yuhua helped Erfu, who had just walked barefoot in the backyard, and ordered someone to prepare hot water to soak Erfu's feet with a distressed face. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, he couldn't help but ask in tears.

Erf also didn't know when it would end. After all, she can only be secretly vigilant about this, and then give the other party a surprise blow, otherwise it is difficult to ensure that those bad-hearted guys will not pour dirty water on her.

"I guess it won't take long, you ask people to turn out those letters, hand them over to the people arranged by the fourth master in the courtyard, and then change some of the paper I practice calligraphy to put in the envelope to fill up, as for those little puppets or something, throw the blood-stained birthday and eight characters in the charcoal basin and burn them, so as not to capsize in this gutter!" Erfu soaked her white feet like lotus roots in the wooden barrel, only felt that she had neglected something, and was silent for a while, and then suddenly realized a look of fear and annoyance, and commanded in a low voice.

Yuhua nodded hurriedly, called Yulan to wait for Erfu to soak her feet, and walked into the inner room with the eldest grandmother, turning out all the pickled things and rearranging them.

"By the way, big mama, you let people listen to the rumors outside, presumably some people are rumored to be cocooned and self-bound, and harm others to myself in the end!" Erfu saw the big grandmother holding the copper basin to burn those small strips of cloth stained with unknown blood stains and the eight characters of birth date written on them, her eyes flashed, and she whispered.

If she hadn't read and guessed wrong, the note was written on the one sitting on the big treasure today, and it was also the birthday of the fourth master's emperor, Ama, the Kangxi Emperor.

"March 18, 11th year of Shunzhi" As for why Erfu remembers it so clearly, it is not because the fourth master has to worry about preparing for his birthday gift for more than a month, and he can't even forget it if he wants to forget it.

"Big mama, let people send the eight characters of the birth date on the puppet to the fourth master, I look a little strange, it seems that it is not like Fujin and other ladies in the house, let the master find out whose it is!" Erfu only felt that she had never been so smart in her life, and a violent brainstorm was blowing in her head, and the blink of an eye was a thought, and her eyes shone with incomparable confidence, Chen Sheng commanded.

After a while, the eldest grandmother responded several times in a row, but her attitude became more and more humble.

Kangxi's birth and death year is not a secret, like the eldest grandmother, who has been polishing in the palace for more than 20 years, she remembers it clearly, just a glance, the eldest grandmother has already seen that it is Kangxi's birthday, and she originally planned to talk to the fourth master, but she didn't want to scare Erfu by saying it at this time.

Although Erfu said to let the fourth master check, the frightened look in Erfu's eyes made the eldest grandmother guess Erfu's thoughts, and did not reveal the thoughts in her heart, so that the eldest grandmother felt that her master had really grown up.

The spies arranged by Zhang Bao are very hidden, just a little maid who is responsible for sweeping the corridor, her appearance is not outstanding, it is definitely the face of the public who disappeared in the crowd, and the eldest grandmother quickly handed over the sealed letterhead and the note written by her own hand to the little maid, and before she turned around, she heard that her master was "sick" again.

The little maid put away a pile of letterheads without raising her head, and seemed to be very cowering and raised her eyes to look at the movement in the main room, and then she grabbed the broom and ran into the room with a smoke, her eyes full of fear and panic, and she happened to bump into the flower grandma who taught people. Puff knelt on the bluestone paved path.

Mama Hua said that it was Mama, but in fact, she was just a big palace maid who combed her hair and stayed in the palace to serve, and she was pointed out to Erfu by the fourth master a few years ago. Responsible for the rough maids in the courtyard of Lierf, the work is not busy, but the shelves are full, and the big grandmother used to sit on the same couch and talk, so that those rough maids and mothers-in-law who have never looked down on any big people regard her as a great character.

This is when Mama is in charge of a few rough maids, it is just a layer of disguise for Mama Hua, and her real identity is the steward who is in charge of the secret agent in the inner courtyard of the fourth master. On weekdays, he has unilateral contact with the little father-in-law around Zhang Bao.

Mama Hua looked down at the little girl who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and a rattan slammed on her already thin back, and the cotton robe suddenly fell apart. It fell on the bluestone pavement with the wind.

The little maid trembled more violently, but Mama Hua withdrew her hand as if she couldn't see it, and turned her head to look at the few rough maids standing in front of her.

"If you let Mama and I hear those words of chewing tongue again, don't blame Mama for being ruthless with the rattan in her hand. Look at your little flowery faces. If there is really a little scar, I am afraid that there will be no hope in this life!" Mama Hua smiled and whispered, the rattan in her hand knocked her palm high and low, and her eyes as sharp as an eagle falcon looked around everyone's faces for a week, and she was satisfied with the small appearance of everyone trembling, and then she turned around and walked into the room, leaving a bunch of frightened little quails to comfort each other.

Back in the room, Mama Hua knocked lightly on the wall. Soon, a eunuch wrapped in a dark blue robe came out.

"Little monkey, this is the news that the little girl just sent. Hurry up and send it to the master, I'm afraid there is something big!" Mama Hua took out a stack of letterheads from her sleeves, and regardless of the different etiquette between men and women, she stuffed it into the arms of the little eunuch and whispered.

If the eldest grandmother was there at this time, she would definitely be able to recognize the dark yellow envelope with a vermilion lacquer fire seal on the top, which was her own handwriting.

"The miscellaneous family knows, but the matter here has to be taken care of by Mama Laohua!" the little eunuch stuffed the letterhead into his arms without looking at it, and replied softly.

Mama Hua waved her hand, blocking the secret door under the entrance and exit of the people, and sat at the table to drink water, but she was secretly looking at the rough maids who were whispering outside, and secretly said that these people have no brains.

Not to mention that the one in the main room has not fallen out of favor, even if he has fallen out of favor, the one still has a son and a daughter, that status, how can these sluts who do rough work be compared, these people actually don't want to help the one in the main room to regain their freedom, but they say those boiling gossip outside, they really deserve to have no interest in their lives.

Could it be that before they entered the internal affairs office, the family did not teach them, and there is no need for mouths, ears, and eyes in this deep mansion compound, they only need to bow their heads to do things and serve their masters well!

Thinking of this, Mama Hua felt a little more unhappy in her heart, looked back and saw that the little eunuch had closed the secret door, got up and walked to the window, pushed open the carved window that was hidden, glanced at the rough maids who were still talking in a group, took the rattan hanging by the window, and looked at the position of the window lattice.

"Could it be that I was beaten, I don't remember ......" Mama Hua's voice was a little hoarse, but it was full of endless coercion, so that the little maids who were still whispering suddenly became like birds and beasts, and ran away, leaving only the beaten little maid kneeling on the bluestone road.

"These indisputable things, if it weren't for Mama and I in the name of teaching you, I really don't want to look at you, and I don't want to get up and clean up, this crying and crying look, could it be that the noble lady of any family can't do it!" Mama Hua glanced at the little maid who was still crying with her head down, and scolded as if she was angry, but what she said was to let the little maid get up and change her robe.

The little maid bowed down again and again, as if she had been pardoned, and slipped into the ear room.

Mama Hua watched the little maid return to her own room, and then she retracted her body leaning out of the window, sat at the table and drank tea, half-squinting her eyes and humming a small tune, not to mention how comfortable she looked.

The noisy and noisy day of Yuehua Courtyard passed like this, and the little father-in-law, who was in charge of delivering the news to Zhang Bao, did not come out of the secret door under Mama Hua's bed again until the middle of the night, startling Mama Hua who was sleeping.

"The master has already started to investigate, and I also asked Mama to tell Fang Fujin, only to say that the onset of the drug was to the extreme, and Fang Fujin would have a plan!" The little eunuch's shrill voice was particularly harsh in this night, making Mama Hua shush again and again, for fear that the maids living on the left and right would hear something.

This is really Mama Hua is too careful, although she lives in a back cover room, but it is also a structure of green bricks and gray tiles, not to mention that the volume of the little eunuch's speech is not high, even if it is a normal speech, if it is not intentionally taped to the door, window and other positions, it will never be heard.

The little eunuch knew about this, otherwise he would not have dared to come over in this night, shook his head with a smile, repeated the news he had just said, took out a letter from his arms, put it on the round table, and quickly disappeared into the secret door.

Seeing that the little eunuch was in a state of no one's land, Mama Hua spat lightly, hurriedly stuffed the letter sealed with vermilion paint under the pillow, lay down on the bed again, turned over and over the pancakes, and stayed up until the sky showed a touch of morning light, and then she walked out of the room neatly dressed.

The back door of the main room has not yet opened, and Mama Hua has put the matter of delivering the letter in the back of her mind, and she is holding down her voice to support the rough maids to sprinkle and sweep, while she squats in the leeward under the cloister to be lazy, with the face of a supervisor, but she is actually waiting for the eldest grandmother and others to appear.

Half an hour later, there was an exclamation in the room, a series of small movements sounded, the door that had been closed all night opened again, and the eldest grandmother came around the ear room in the northwest corner with a gloomy face, and staggered past Mama Hua, and walked into the room quickly.

As soon as the eldest grandmother entered the room, the noise was lowered a little.

The faint appearance of Erfu's cape on the ground was faintly revealed in the crack of the window, which made the corner of Cao Yuan's mouth, who was playing with flowers and plants under the porch, show a strange smile, but she didn't want to fall into the eyes of the lazy flower mother in the corner.

"Sister, I'll help you move this begonia flower!" The childish movement of the sweet girl sounded under the corridor, and she came to Cao Yuan's side, and a pair of fat little hands with a vortex were already on the flower pot where the green glaze painting was fluttering in the day.

Cao Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at her left and right noncommittally.

"Sister, you see that this master is already like this, my family really can't wait, do you want Master Li to let them go?"

"The masters have their own masters' arrangements, do you think that I, Sister Cao, can be the master of Li Fang Fujin! Besides, now the guards outside are becoming stricter and stricter, if it is for your little sesame mung bean, the matter of Li Fang Fujin is missing, I am afraid that your ten lives are not enough to compensate!" Cao Yuan saw that no one was paying attention left and right, wiped her delicate and white fingers with an embroidered handkerchief, lowered her head and said, her voice quickly drifted into the air with the wind, and she did not notice the dissatisfaction and resentment that flashed in the eyes of the sweet girl.

"What my sister taught me is that Tianniu is too anxious!" Tianniu responded in a trembling voice, her little hand under her sleeve clenched her little fist tightly, her eyes flashed with anger, and she quickly disappeared beside Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, shrugged her shoulders disapprenously, and continued to bow her head to loosen the soil for her cherished flowers and plants. (To be continued......)
