Chapter 508: The shortcomings are so big
Chapter 508
In the afternoon, the three small sedan chairs that Erfu and his party were riding slowly stopped outside the second gate.
The smell of wine on Qingxi's body has been blown clean by the gentle breeze, and his face is white, and no one can see the drunken cat with a red head and swollen face before.
It's just that Erfu is really drunk, although he has hidden the eyes of other people, but he can't hide from those guards who are disguised as sedan chair men, for fear that there will be some rumors in the house, Zhao Dezhu, who is thinking about how to seal the mouths of those Qiu Ba masters along the way.
Not to mention, it really made him come up with an idea.
It's just that along the way, he didn't have a chance to ventilate with Yaoqin and Xiaowen, until the second gate, he knew that he couldn't drag it on, so he hurriedly glanced at Yaoqin, and caught up with Qingxi who went to settle the guards with a snack box, and took out a hundred taels of bearer silver tickets from his sleeve tube as he walked, stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Qing, be careful about this, don't dislike it." β
Qingxi is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, although he also knows that Zhao Dezhu is not a person who does not want to repay his kindness, but there is nothing disgusted, after all, the cake is so big, once he falls, those who stare at this cake will trample him to death, so his impression of Zhao Dezhu is still quite good.
"This time it's thanks to the help of the little brother, otherwise our family's face will be completely lost!" "It's good to combine the two good, Zhao Dezhu stepped forward to talk, he didn't show a cold face, smiled and took the silver ticket given by Zhao Dezhu, stuffed it in his sleeve without looking at it, lowered his throat, and said with a slight arch.
"These treats are inconspicuous though. But it's a brother's heart, and the elder brother must accept it. Qingxi was a very upper-handed reaction, which caused Zhao Dezhu's eyes to light up. Hurriedly handed over the snack box he was carrying.
Qingxi glanced at Zhao Dezhu with some puzzlement, but still reached out to take it.
After taking it, he understood that this snack was really porcelain, and it looked like it was fifteen or sixteen pounds.
"Our master is a good-natured man, and he knows that he has worked hard for those guard brothers this time, and this little caution is for them to drink tea!" Seeing Qingxi, the corners of his mouth raised. Zhao Dezhu took out three or five silver tickets from his sleeve, stuffed them into his hand, and whispered.
"Fang Fujin is generous. My brother has heard about it a long time ago!" This time Qingxi took it without vagueness, looked down at the number on the silver ticket, raised his hand and patted Zhao Dezhu's shoulder, with a calm smile of "This matter is wrapped in me". Said slowly.
It's not something to be able to pick out. After getting the hint that Qingxi was not obvious, Zhao Dezhu was relieved, and walked forward with Qingxi for a while, saying some gossip that was not salty or light, so he found an excuse and ran in the direction of the west courtyard.
ββββ
The guards entrusted the errand of carrying the sedan chair to the strong women in the inner courtyard outside the second gate, and returned to the inverted seat room of the errand, at this time. They are sitting around in twos and threes, drinking tea at the same time. While talking about right and wrong, it is very noisy, if you don't know, you think this is a vegetable market!
As soon as Qingxi and Zhao Dezhu separated, they found a place, opened the snack box, looked at the row of silver ingots inside, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more real, and took out the silver ticket that Zhao Dezhu gave him first, and finally took out the silver ticket that Zhao Dezhu entrusted him to transfer to those guards.
Looking at the number of rewards, Qingxi secretly said: The master of this small courtyard in the west is really good at something, so he came to the courtyard where the guards were waiting, and some tiptoed to greet Lin Shaoqi, the leader of this group of guards.
"Brother Lin, here. β
Lin Shaoqi, who was playing chess with someone, heard the sound, smiled and nodded to Qingxi, then lost the chess pieces in his hand, strode to Qingxi's side, and asked in a low voice: "Why do you have to come to see my brother now?"
"Brother is here to give a gift to my brother!" As he spoke, Qingxi raised the snack box in his hand and pulled Lin Shaoqi to an empty room on the other side.
Even if Lin Shaoqi has a good relationship with Qingxi, he is not used to his sneaky style, and after entering the door, he frowned without even closing the door, and asked in a deep voice: "Just say something, this look of thief eyebrows and rat eyes is really awkward." β
Qingxi smiled indifferently, pushed Lin Shaoqi to sit on the big kang covered with felt on one side, turned around and closed the door again, and then returned to Lin Shaoqi's side, put the snack box in his hand in front of Lin Shaoqi, and motioned him to open it.
In the dim sum box, there were a box full of silver bills, large or small, stacked together, facing the sun, shining with silver light, very eye-catching, plus there were exquisite auspicious patterns carved on it, Lin Shaoqi, who was a little confused for a while, hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal, this is a reward from the master of the West Courtyard. As he spoke, Qingxi also handed the five silver tickets that Zhao Dezhu stuffed into him from his sleeve to Lin Shaoqi's hand.
"On weekdays, our brothers often go out with their masters, is there more reward this time?" Lin Shaoqi is not an open-eyed person, although the reward that is enough to brighten people's eyes is right in front of him, he still asked the question in his heart very rationally, and at the same time, with a kind of looking eyes, staring closely at the Qingxi in front of him, intending to take a look at the Qingxi face.
What kind of character is Qingxi? That is definitely a time-tested warrior, where would he show his cowardice in front of a rough and reckless man like Young Master Lin, met Lin Shaoqi's straightforward eyes with a calm smile, and said slowly: "If you want to say that when this master went out today, he encountered a little accident outside, and then the elder brother will definitely be able to understand from the mouths of those brothers under you, so don't worry about the brother digging a pit for you, this reward is a hush money." β
As he spoke, he told Lin Shaoqi about Erfu getting drunk outside.
Lin Shaoqi's eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked rhetorically: "Why is that person so confused? This matter can be big or small, don't blame the old brother for not reminding you, what money can be collected and what money can't be collected, you have to know it in your heart!"
"Brothers are like those who want money and don't want their lives?" Qingxi noticed the concern in Lin Shaoqi's tone. My heart warmed, and the words I had planned to press in my heart were just like that. Wandered out, "Do you know who the hostess got drunk with? That's the male master of our mansion, Prince Yong."
Even if others want to talk about our rights and wrongs, then we have to say it!"
After saying that, this celebration also blinked mysteriously, which led Lin Shaoqi, a seven-foot man, to gossip about it, and then told the details of how Erfu met the fourth master in Baiweiju.
Among them, he did not forget to mix in some of his own speculations.
As the commander of the guards of the Fourth Lord's Mansion. Although Young Master Lin rarely said right and wrong, there were many more sources than Qingxi, and even some private matters. Qingxi didn't know, but he knew it clearly.
At this time, he was overflowing with gossip, and he was also a little unable to keep his mouth shut, thinking of the news he had heard from the other guards before. With a gleam in his eyes, he whispered, "I knew there was such fun to watch." This old brother will go with you.
But the princess of the neighboring country you are talking about can't be the arrogant and domineering barbarian woman of the Korean Kingdom who came to Beijing and entered the palace a while ago!"
To say that this man gossips, he is definitely no worse than a woman.
Qingxi, this little eunuch, is even more of a strong player, but because of his identity before, he felt that it was too dangerous to discuss the rights and wrongs of the masters, so he has been suppressing his nature.
At this time, Lin Shaoqi opened the conversation. It gave him the feeling that he had found the allies, and he couldn't care about those messy taboos. He sat next to Lin Shaoqi with a smile and said in a low voice: "Isn't it the one, the elder brother didn't go because he didn't see it, the brother could see clearly through the crack in the door, and the person couldn't wait to dismount the one in the West Courtyard before he entered the mansion." β
"Tut-tut......
I'm afraid there's a lot of excitement in this inner courtyard.
Brother, don't you know, my brother heard those brothers who were on errands in other places say that they are not good stubble. It is said that the princess of the neighboring country, although her appearance is not surprising, but her ability to observe words and colors is definitely one and the same.
Not only did she meet the palace concubines who had fought for most of her life, but even the concubine in the palace had a good impression of her, and she even personally came forward to ask us to marry her, what a great honor.
If she is really allowed to enter the mansion in the name of marriage, I am afraid that several female masters in our mansion will be inferior to her. "Otherwise, this wine table is the easiest place to get news, these words are what Lin Shaoqi and a few brothers heard when they were eating at the table.
Before, he thought it was just a rumor.
At this moment, hearing Qingxi say that he was in front of the fourth master, and the face of the side Fujin in the West Courtyard, Lin Shaoqi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Whatever, it's good not to implicate our front yard anyway.
But the elder brother summed it up, that one is the princess of Fanbang, even if she enters the mansion, it is estimated that it will be just a momentary glory. Qingxi scratched the door of his slippery brain and said with a grin.
Lin Shaoqi had a good impression of the side Fujin of the West Courtyard after hearing the celebratory words before, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and hurriedly reminded: "What you said is also right."
There are always others to worry about these things, so let's just close our stall.
But my brother still reminds you, don't get too close to those individuals in the inner courtyard, what kind of character is the fourth master, you should understand, don't get any benefits when the time comes, get into trouble, and lose your life. β
After speaking, regardless of whether Qingxi listened to it or not, he raised his hand to carry the snack box, and smiled and threw a sentence, "Our brother's mouth is tight, and there will be no gossip from our side." Then he went out of the room and went to beckon the brothers to divide the money.
Of course, that big head, Young Master Lin himself has already left, and like Qingxi, he left a silver ticket of one hundred taels, stuffed it into the pocket in the placket, and sent the other silver tickets and silver bills to the eyes of the brothers, and finally divided another share, and then told the big guy to keep his mouth shut, don't say what he shouldn't say, and went out of the house alone.
ββββ
At the other end, Erfu sat in the soft sedan chair, returned to the house in a daze, listened to a series of greetings outside, finally opened his half-squinted eyes, walked out of the soft sedan car without help, and entered the door of the west courtyard.
Yaoqin carefully helped Erfu to sit on the Luohan bed in the east room, and stuffed a few soft pillows behind her waist one by one, and then took the strong tea sent by the guzheng, and said softly: "Master, you drink a cup of tea and wake up the bar!"
"En!" Erfu raised his hand and rubbed his muddy head, took the bitter tea and drank it all in one gulp, and finally sobered up, and the mistakes he made recklessly before were hugged into his mind, and he hurriedly raised his hand to take out the placket of his clothes, handed a golden bronze key to Yaoqin's hand, and said in a dumb voice, "Go to the library to get some good things, and let Zhao Dezhu send them to Qingxi and the guards, don't let those people go around talking about today's affairs." β
After speaking, she didn't wait for Yaoqin to speak, so she kicked off the shoes on her feet, crooked on the Luohan bed, and silently sulked at the fact that she didn't pick up Princess Wanrong's words today.
Actually, Erf is not a stupid person.
It's just that sometimes as soon as the mood comes up, she won't rush to this mouth, and she is afraid that she will be really angry, and she will come out with swear words and lose the person of the fourth master, so she endured it and endured it, stuffy and stuffy, and put all the anger in her stomach, and drank stuffy wine with her head stuffy, and she was confused.
"Alas!" The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he looked at the Suzhou painted ceiling on the roof, sighed heavily, turned over and sat up from the Luohan bed, and called loudly, "Guzheng, take all the books I didn't like to read before, I want to make up for the lesson!" After speaking, Erfu pulled his shoes and walked to the clean room in the inner room.
Gu Zheng glanced at Yaoqin a little dizzy, and when he saw Yaoqin nodding helplessly, he went into the wing room and flipped through the book box in confusion.
The cold water dispelled the last paste in Erfu's mind, and she sat silently on the vermilion lacquer bucket, reflecting on herself: In fact, her biggest character flaw is that her preferences are too obvious, otherwise she would not have even had any experience in house fighting.
Why?
That's naturally for a reason, don't look at her in modern times as a bookworm who likes to read novels, but she especially doesn't like to read those intriguing house fighting texts, she only likes to watch the protagonist's face slapping text, adhering to the principle of being able to do it, try not to be noisy, so it will cause her huge shortcomings today.
And she hasn't recognized her shortcomings.,Even if it's in this era.,Look at the book.,It's definitely according to her preferences.,For those books mixed with various house fighting plots.,Instinctive disgust.,It's just piled up in the bookbox and it's never looked over.γ
This time, she decided to endure the nausea and make up for this knowledge, at least to make herself able to speak, knowing that one day, she should have read more books on the art of speaking, how to be a talking person, etc., and definitely not be a giggling companion.
I have to say that this person is like this, he doesn't suffer losses, and he will never recognize his own shortcomings, such as Erfu at this time.
