Chapter 159: Seeking Welfare
The sun set in the west, a beautiful fire cloud hung in the sky, the heat in the air disappeared a lot, under the gentle breeze, Erfu's unhappiness in his heart was also reduced a little, looked at the maid who was waiting outside, called in loudly, put on a large cheongsam made of muslin, wore soft-soled embroidered shoes and walked behind the screen, with the help of the water in the copper basin, absorbed the oil on the face, and revealed a beautiful face facing the sky.
Yuqing and Yulan had already heard the movement in front of them, and at this time they were busy carrying a bowl of fried sauce that had just come out of the pot, putting it into the food box that had been placed, and asked the little maid to take the egg noodles that had passed the water, and quickly walked into the main room from the back door, and gave a slight salute to Erfu, "Master, the slave and maid saw that you have no appetite for the past two days, so I specially asked the small kitchen to make fried noodles, you can quickly take advantage of the fact that this sauce is just out of the pot and fragrant, let's enter a bowl!"
Erfu was sullen for a long time, and had not eaten, and when she smelled the fragrant fragrance of sauce, she immediately secreted a lot of saliva in her mouth, but when she thought of being unhappy that she was distrusted by a few personal maids, she secretly said that she would not lose anything about this face, and immediately turned her head.
Yuqing showed a smile, asked Yulan to take the tea set on the low table, and softly instructed the little maid to send the crockpot containing noodles to Erfu, and quickly laid out the side dishes in the food box one by one, and then mixed a bowl of noodles for Erfu, sent it to Erfu, and said in a low voice: "Master, even if you are angry with us, you can't stop eating and drinking, isn't this going to starve your body! Besides, if this fried sauce noodles are left for a long time, it won't taste good!"
"......" Erfu twisted his body, deliberately not looking at the noodles that Yuqing sent to him, but the mixture of the fresh fragrance of the gherkin and the flavor of the sauce made Erfu swallow his saliva, and the tips of his ears were a little red.
Yuqing glanced at the little maid who was still waiting next to her, and Yulan closed the door.
..................
After more than half an hour, Yuqing and Yulan walked out of the room with red eyes, but Erfu also seemed to have no appetite to eat, just looked out stupidly, but others saw from the actions of several big girls that they should be forgiven by Erfu, otherwise the smile on the corner of their mouths would not be so obvious.
At night, Erfu, who hadn't eaten much, couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and Yuqing, who was outside at night, hurriedly came to the bedside.
"Master, you're hungry, the slave and maid let the small kitchen have wontons, do you want to eat some!" Yuqing listened to the movement in the bed curtain, and then said softly.
Erf felt that there was not a little bit of happiness, and excitedly lifted the curtain of the bed and nodded again and again.
Yuqing bent his knees with a smile on the corner of his mouth, hurriedly walked back, and after about a stick of incense, he walked back to the room with a fragrant food box.
Erfu was already sitting on the kang by the window with her robe on, looking at the food box in Yuqing's hand without blinking, and she looked like a greedy child.
Yuqing hurriedly opened the food box, and a rich aroma instantly filled Erfu's mouth and nose, making Erfu's stomach emit a thunderous intestinal sound, which was not an exaggeration, but in the quiet room, this sound was really like midnight thunder, which made people want to ignore it.
Erf only felt that she was so unlucky, and her little face in the candlelight was a little embarrassed red.
Yuqing hurriedly lowered his head, not looking at Erfu who was blushing on the kang, but quickly sent a blue flower bowl to Erfu, put a few dishes on the Kang table, and respectfully handed over the silver chopsticks, and then retreated to the side.
Erfu took a deep breath, full of fragrance rushed into his nose, some hot soup exuded bursts of heat, the wonton was filled with shrimp, and it was also in the afternoon, Yuqing and others made it together, but they were afraid that Erfu would be so angry that they couldn't eat it, and they were hungry at night, and they didn't know why, Erfu didn't like to use snacks to fill his hunger, but preferred these snacks that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, but this did not affect Yuqing and others to seek the opportunity to watch xiàn, this is not Yuqing's table xiàn opportunity to come!
The hot wonton went down, and a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on Erfu's body in an instant, and he ate two bites of a slightly hot side dish, so he took a small sip of two mouthfuls of wonton soup, put down the chopsticks with satisfaction, showed a comfortable smile, pulled the buckle on his neck at will, took the silk beauty picture next to him and fanned the wind, half leaned on the back pillow by the window, squinted his eyes and let go.
Yuqing hurriedly packed up the dishes used by Erf, carefully put them in the food box, and sent them to the back door, just waiting for the people who got up early to do the rough work of sprinkling and sweeping and the small kitchen came to pick them up, who let Erfu have a problem, when he was hungry and when he was full, he especially hated the taste of food, of course, if he was hungry, the taste of the food was just that kind of light fragrance, but it would stimulate Erfu's appetite.
Erfu didn't go to sleep, Yuqing naturally couldn't sleep, plus he saw a layer of fine sweat beads hanging on Erfu's head, and hurriedly pushed the lattice window next to Erfu, a gust of wind took away the stuffiness in the room, and it wouldn't blow to Erfu, don't worry about Erfu will be affected by the wind, sure enough, just a moment, Erfu has already curled the corners of his lips, "Although it is now September, it is about to be early winter, but the weather is still hot day by day, is it more uncomfortable for you to live behind!"
"Fortunately, master, you specially allowed us to use ice, and there are ice porridge and other things you researched on weekdays, which is much more comfortable than in previous years!" Yuqing took the fan in Erfu's hand, fanned it on the ground, and said softly.
Erfu relieved his heart at this time, and said that Erfu was still quite concerned about the people who served beside him, and besides, this ancient system was really a bit of a cheat, and this house was built too harmful.
This is definitely not groundless, the courtyard of this era pays attention to the boxy, and the west courtyard where Erfu lives is a two-entry courtyard, the position of the wall in front of it is a row of inverted houses, as the name suggests, it is a row of houses that sit south and face north, it has always been the residence of the people, and when building, in order to prevent the masters from seeing the pickles in the room, the windows are built in a very high place, and the windows are much smaller than the windows of other rooms, plus the south wind often blows in the summer, the north window can not blow the wind at all, and the stuffy is not good, and in the winter it is just the opposite, the inverted seat room that can not get the sun, The north wind whirred in through the window, and it was definitely not much warmer than outside, so the people living in this inverted seat room were generally rough maids who were not valued by the masters, or those shameless little guys or something.
Although the conditions are much better, but because the house as a whole is lower than the main house, and the backyard is generally narrow, so it is not often possible to see the sun all year round, and there is such a high back cover room many main houses in front of the front, so there will be no wind in the summer.
Originally, when Erfu just entered the mansion, Yuqing and others were arranged to live in the east wing, but this did not conform to the rules, because as usual, this wing room was prepared for the little masters, even if Erfu did not have an heir now, it was inconvenient for them to live in it, so according to the appearance of each courtyard, the eunuchs and the servants lived in the front of the inverted seat, and the maids and palace maids in these courtyards lived in the back cover room, and the east and west wings were empty, currently serving as Erfu's small storehouse.
After such a day passed for a long time, once again Erfu got up early and saw Zhao Dezhu walking towards the door with his wet hair in the winter, and called Yuqing and others to inquire, and then heard from the mouths of Yuqing and others.
It turns out that this inverted room does not see sunlight all year round, coupled with poor ventilation, and although these eunuchs are not men, they are more likely to sweat than women, and those rough little servants are doing rough work, and the smell of this body is naturally unpleasant and tight at the end of the day, so eunuchs like Zhao Dezhu and Li Shoucai who serve in front of Erfu are used to getting up early to go to the well in the backyard to rush their bodies, so as to save the unpleasant smell of washing the master, but if you do this, it is okay in summer, at least the weather is warm, even if you take a cold shower, you will not get sick, and if you do this in winter, it is completely masochistic。
Don't look at Erfu who has seen those winter swimmers, but Erfu never thinks that they are not cold, only because they produce a lot of heat when they swim underwater, which resists the biting cold water in that winter, and these eunuchs are not, they stand by the well, and they put on the cotton robes that have blown the cold wind outside all night, and they are poured buckets of cold water with ice ballast, which can definitely be compared with the evil deeds of a certain 7/3/1 unit back then, but people abuse others, and they abuse themselves.
Of course, this is also because Erfu's association ability is too strong, in fact, they really don't have to do this in winter, after all, the big guys don't sweat in winter, and in order to burn the earth dragon on the stove, the hot water is also a lot, as long as they wipe their bodies when they go to bed at night, they can serve the next day with a refreshing Lyph.
However, Erfu didn't tell anyone what she thought in her heart, so no one gave her the wrong idea of correcting it, and it happened that when the fourth master came over in the evening, he said that the weather was too hot, which gave Erfu a chance to ask for ice in the open.
You must know that the ice cellar in this house is very large, and the ice in it cannot be used up all year round, but this is everyone's share, that is also limited, so the steward in charge of the ice cellar is really rather throw away the ice when it is cold, and definitely not give the masters in the backyard a penny, and if there is a fourth master, it will be another matter.
The fourth master saw Erfu's eyes rolling around, so he guessed that this Nizi had something to say, but he really didn't think of what this Nizi could say for a while, so he had to look at the little Nizi in front of him with a slight hook of his lips.
After Erfu felt that she had succeeded in making the fourth master's heart soften, she said her purpose, of course, she didn't say that she was worried about the people around her being hot, but that she was particularly afraid of the heat, plus the room was too big now, if you look at the ice according to the example, her share is definitely not enough for her to be cool, I hope the fourth master can be merciful and raise her hand, so that she can live a life without worrying about the heat and sweating.
The fourth master continued to hook his lips, and Erfu saw that the fourth master did not react, so he hurriedly waved his hand and sent away the maid who was waiting in the room, saying that there were some reasons to make his face blush, as for what it was, it was naturally worried that the fourth master was hot when he rolled the sheets to do exercise, and besides, these two people were sweating, so it was not comfortable!
After saying that, Erfu also threw a charming look to the fourth master, hoping to make the fourth master agree with her idea quickly.
In fact, the fourth master really doesn't care about those ice cubes, to put it bluntly, this ice cube is made from the lake in the house in the winter, and it doesn't cost a dime at all, and it costs as much as you want, but the fourth master likes to see Erfu's appearance of seeking benefits with color, and with a slightly smile, he hugged Erfu's slender waist, and some hot lips were attached to Erfu's earlobe, and whispered, "Do you want to do that with your master!"
A slightly hoarse voice sounded in Erfu's ears, and the warm breath pounced on Erfu's neck and earlobes, causing Erfu's body to soften immediately, and a pair of hands grabbed the neck of the fourth master, his face was blushing and drooping his eyes, and he twisted his body a little embarrassedly, and said softly, "It's not, Ye likes to tease me!"
After a night of madness, the fourth master naturally waved his hand, and on the basis of Erfu's current share of ice, it was doubled, which was definitely enough for Erfu's entire courtyard to use for a summer, as for how the fourth master knew that Erfu wanted to improve the living environment of the people in the yard, it was naturally because the fourth master was the owner of this house, if he didn't even know about this trivial matter in the house, then he, Lord Belle, would not have to do it.
And the fourth master has always pretended not to know the things in the house, that is naturally because of the little things between women, in the heart of the fourth master who is full of major affairs of the government and government, it is not a matter at all, so he has been saying that the things in the house have been handed over to the Wulanala clan, but it is only limited to not angering the fourth master, otherwise the fourth master will definitely turn out all kinds of information in Chen Fu's hands, and rectify the people in the mansion, just like Igege who was thrown by the fourth master to Zhuangzi.
Erfu, who specially begged the fourth master, got a lot of ice cubes, and with a wave of his hand, he immediately sent two large icebergs for the eunuchs and servants who were suffering in front, and the second-class maids and third-class maids in the back room, and even those who prompted the maids and mother-in-law did not fall, as for why not Yuqing and others, it was naturally because they served in front of Erfu on weekdays, and shared a piece of ice with Erfu, and there was no need to arrange ice cubes in the room at all, as long as two small pieces were placed at night.
The big guys who have improved their living environment, although there are people who are not strong enough to swallow elephants, but most of them know how to be grateful, and they are more diligent in doing things, and they are more respectful of Erfu, which is why Yuqing and others hurriedly ask for guilt and timely remedy.
