Chapter 104: Rumors are fiercer than tigers
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Erfu's wind and cold had already healed, but in order to escape the fate of the palace banquet, the fourth master still helped Erfu to take cover, and there was a bitter smell of bitter medicine in the courtyard every day, but it did not make people suspicious.
The smell of the year is getting heavier and heavier, Erfu can often hear the sound of ping-pong firecrackers outside, and I don't know which little master in the house has done a good thing, and these little masters seem to be very energetic, often when the sky is just dawning, it has already sounded outside, so that Erfu is very nostalgic for the policy of banning firecrackers in modern urban areas, but now I don't talk about PM2.5, and this is almost the New Year, every household is idle, and no one cares about this matter.
Song Gege moved to Jingxin Garden, so he asked the maid to carry a message, saying that he felt that he was in love with Guerjia side Fujin, and wanted to invite Guerjia side Fujin to sit in the past, Erfu said, you can rest assured that you can raise the baby, let's not go to join in the fun, and kindly reminded the fourth master, hoping that the fourth master can go to see the Gege who is having a body, and also save this Gege from feeling that she has occupied the fourth master all day long, and even her own body is not good, and she does not let the fourth master go to the side to walk around.
The fourth master smiled and scolded a few words, but in the end he still walked around the courtyard, and came to the west courtyard as usual to report the next night.
Guargarfu didn't go to ask for peace to the Ulanala clan these days, but she didn't hear the sour words spread outside, but she also understood a thing or two from Yuqing and Yujie's disapproving expressions, but if the fourth master didn't go, she couldn't help it, so it was difficult for someone to tie up the fourth master and send it to their yard!
In this regard, Erfu could only choose to pretend not to know, or to deal with the whining Yuqing with a smirk, and made up his mind in his heart. As long as the fourth master doesn't take the initiative to go to the other place, she won't be Mr. Dongguo!
Thousands of pets are gathered in one, and they also gather the resentment in the backyard, but Erf said that crossing the female invincible is so capricious!
The fourth master walked into the main room, and saw Erfu sitting on the couch and smirking. casually handed the cloak on his body to Yuqing, who came over. Lang Sheng said: "The master's side Fujin, this faction is really getting bigger and bigger, and even the master doesn't welcome him." It really broke my heart!"
Only then did Erfu realize that he had just heard Su Peisheng's voice, and he was patronizing the soul wandering outside the world, but he had forgotten about this great god who was walking into him. A little embarrassed smiled, and was about to lift the brocade quilt on his lap. Come down and serve the fourth master.
But before Erfu's actions were finished, the fourth master had already walked quickly to the couch and held Erfu, "Your body is not good." Don't keep tossing, and don't be afraid of getting sick again!"
"I'm afraid that if I don't wait for my health to be bad, the master will say that I am arrogant!" I just thought it might be that she opened it in the wrong way, and said a little unhappily.
The fourth master rubbed the top of Erfu's hair. looked at the big pigtails hanging beside Erf, and said with a smile: "At most, you are just sprinkling in the room, if you really have the courage to go out and do nonsense, it will make you worry!"
"What's wrong?" Erph realized that there was something wrong with the fourth master's words, and asked with some trepidation.
"Look, before the master gets angry, he is so scared that he can't land. The fourth master teasingly raised Erfu's chin and said softly.
Erfu only felt that the fourth master in front of her was a little different from the domineering president Fan's man she saw for the first time, and she wanted to yell at God, aunt/milk should be returned!
"Master, what did you say, what happened, I haven't been out these days, can you believe what others say!" Erfu saw that the fourth master was still smiling, and only felt that the grievances of the junior surged upward, and his eyes were a little red, pulling the hem of the fourth master's sleeve, and asked nervously.
The fourth master pinched Erfu's little tender face, and then told him what had just happened in the house.
It turned out that the fourth master entered the backyard as usual, and before he could walk through the shadow wall in front of him, he heard a few mothers-in-law and maids forming a circle, and said that the Guerjia side of the West Courtyard was a woman like Concubine Dong E, pestering the fourth master all day long, and eighty percent was the reincarnation of a fox!
The fourth master naturally didn't believe this nonsense, and sent the two mothers-in-law who were talking about it on the spot, and the maids who were watching also deducted the monthly money, and handed it over to their housekeeper Mama, and told the mammies to teach a good lesson, and then came to the West Courtyard with a gust of wind.
Originally, the fourth master was worried that Erfu would be uncomfortable when he heard such words, but when he thought that this person in the eye of the storm was looking at the sky in a stupid and naïve manner, he felt that his worries were a little in vain, so he thought of ridiculing Erfu.
When Erfu heard this, he was really frightened, you must know that whether it is the wild history, or the official history, all the Qing history, it shows that Empress Xiaozhuang Wen does not like this Concubine Dong E very much, but because of Emperor Shunzhi's obsession with beauty, she had to take a step back, but this is also a bad life, and he actually let a smallpox take his life, and by the way, he also took away Emperor Shunzhi, who loved the country and loved the beauty more, and left such an absurd statement that Emperor Shunzhi was a monk for a beauty in the history of the wilderness.
Maybe it's because this Concubine Dong E opened a precedent for exclusive favors in special rooms, and Empress Xiaozhuang Wen is full of firepower for the first woman in the harem who wants to monopolize her baby grandson's favor, whether it is the former Kangxi Emperor's wife Empress Hesheri, or the Niu Hulu clan, who is known to be the favorite of Emperor Kangxi, or the cousin Tong Jia of Emperor Kangxi, it didn't live long.
Although later generations think that it is Kangxi's wife, but now that he has come to Erfu in the Qing Dynasty, he deeply feels that this is an SSS-level event in the secret history of the deep palace.
That is, Empress Xiaozhuang Wen was afraid that her son's tragedy would repeat again, so she changed all these concubines who once occupied the high positions favored by Kangxi, and replaced them with Guo Luoluo, who was not from a significant background.
Although Empress Xiaozhuang Wen has been dead for many years, Erfu still feels goosebumps on her body, and looks at the fourth master with some nervousness, for fear that one day she will be removed by the fourth master's mother-in-law, Concubine De Niangniang.
"Master, why don't you go and stay with someone else? I'm really afraid that I will be removed as a demon!" Erfu, a brainless person, said the words in her heart faster than her brain, and pitifully pulled the sleeves of the fourth master, for fear that this master would directly remove her as a demon.
The fourth master was stunned by Erfu's reaction, and then noticed Erfu's trembling hands, and his heart ached, so he grabbed Erfu's small hands. "What kind of character are you? If you still can't see through it, then you will be the biggest fool in the world, as long as you are by your side. Naturally, you can protect you, and you will definitely not be hurt by anyone!"
"But there is still the emperor above you, even if the emperor only asks about such a thing, there is also the master's mother. If Concubine De really takes it seriously, then what can I do!" Yan zhòng to her heart is not pretending to be sick, she really wants to explain to Concubine De Niangniang, she is definitely not a fox who bewitches the master, she is definitely not ah!
The fourth master only thinks that people are the ones who make people say such things. Vicious to the extreme, looking at Erfu who was trembling in his arms, he called Su Peisheng in a cold voice.
Pity Su Peisheng, who was sitting in the tea room with a warm head. Hearing the cold summons of the fourth master, he sat on the ground in fright. didn't care that the boots hadn't been put on yet, so he stumbled into the Xinuan Pavilion and lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head for a long time.
"You go and call Chen Fu over, remember not to let people see it!" The fourth master patted Erfu on the back, only then did he notice Su Peisheng who had appeared on the ground, and said in a deep voice.
Su Peisheng hurriedly responded, "Huh!" and rolled out of the West Courtyard again.
Erfu had never seen such a fierce fourth master, and raised his head a little stupidly, "Master, don't you really believe that person's words?"
"Are you stupid or not, if the master believes it, will he still tell you that thing, just alienate you!" The fourth master knocked on the door of Erfu's head and said with a smile.
Erfu still couldn't believe it, the history books said that the fourth master believed in Taoism the most, and the old Taoist of the bull nose loved the most, isn't that the collection of demons! Could it be that Chen Fu is the legendary Taoist Heavenly Master.
Thinking in his heart, Erfu climbed out of the arms of the fourth master, hugged the square pillow next to him as if he was on guard, and said very firmly: "Master, I'm not a demon, don't find someone to take me in, if you don't like me, just send me to that ancient temple in the mountains, I'm really not a demon!"
The fourth master was reacted by Erfu, Lei wanted to laugh, what was going on in this Nizi's mind!
Erfu saw the fourth master's straight face, and felt that her guess was credible, she was so scared, although she was not a demon, but she was a lonely soul from modern times, what if she was destroyed by the old Taoist priest, what if the Guerjia clan was implicated, what if her lovely parents and mothers, and the old brother who always liked to urge her to improve!
"Master, why don't you believe that I'm not a demon, I'm really a human being, you see those goblins are very beautiful, and I don't look beautiful like this, which goblin would be as stupid as me!"
The fourth master held his forehead, "Come here, I didn't say you were a goblin!"
"No, you've already asked Su Peisheng to call the master of demon collection, and I won't go to kill me!" Erfu was already sitting on the kang table, holding a pillow, looking very funny.
And Yuqing and Yulan, who were waiting in the room, already felt that the whole person was not good since the moment when Erfu rolled out of the arms of the fourth master with a pillow just now, and their master's brain is really different from ordinary people!
Yuqing has the heart to ask the fourth master to invite a master of demon collection, so that Erfu can become more normal.
If Erfu knew Yuqing's thoughts, he would definitely shoot her to death as soon as possible, and then pointed to Yuqing's corpse and scolded her for not being authentic, because she was so good to her on weekdays, and she was still forced to die!
In the room, Erfu sat on the kang table, the fourth master sat on the edge of the collapse, and the two of them were in a stalemate.
"Master, Chen Fu is here!" Su Peisheng's voice sounded outside, making the last string in Erfu's heart also break, and he was so anxious that he cried out, and the tears slipped silently, falling on the square pillow embroidered with pink flowers, and also fell on the heart of the fourth master.
The fourth master took a deep breath, "Let Chen Fu wait first!"
The movement outside the room suddenly subsided, as if there was no one left.
Erfu's little head tilted, and a thought flashed in her heart, if she took advantage of the fourth master's inattention to seize the door and flee now. The chance of being able to run away is about a few percent, and I don't know if there is any light work or something in this ancient world, if she is caught again, then she will really become a demon.
As soon as the fourth master saw Erf's stupid appearance, he knew that this Nizi had come up with some unreliable idea, and said secretly: This Nizi's courage is too small.
Erf is trying to escape route. I just feel lighter. He had already fallen into the arms of the fourth master, and just as he was about to struggle, he heard the fourth master say in a deep voice: "If you toss again." I really think you're a demon!"
"......" Erfu kicked himself a few times in his heart, you melon coward, before a master like Mr. Lin appeared, you were empty-hearted. Doesn't that make those gossip come true!
Holding on to the last bit of luck, Erf showed a smile that was even uglier than crying. "Master, let that master come in, whether it's a human or a demon, you'll know if you try it!"
The fourth master had a feeling that he was going to be vomited blood by Erfu. "Sit down!"
Erfu nodded obediently, and even took the silk veil tucked on the placket and wiped away the tears on his face. Like a soldier about to go into battle, he sat beside the fourth master. A pair of eyes stared viciously at the door of the warm pavilion.
"Don't take your master down to wash!" The fourth master felt that the maid beside Erfu seemed to be a little stupid, and he actually looked at her master embarrassed like this, and said very unhappily.
Yuqing only felt that this was really wronged, but in the end, it was still a blessing for Mali, so he helped Erfu to the back of the screen.
Erfu, who had been washed again, changed into a rose-red dress embroidered with peony flowers and dark patterns, combed a shelf on his head, put on a whole set of hair ornaments inlaid with red gold inlaid with southern pearls, hung a gorgeous collar with red gold inlaid with eastern pearls carved with longevity patterns around his neck, put on a pair of blood jade bracelets on his wrists, put on the rings of jade carving birds on his fingers, put on the little thumbs and ring fingers of both hands and put on the armor of two teams of red gold dotted emerald pink jade dripping beads, and hung a string of pink tourmaline beads on his chest, which quite had the meaning of overpowering the people in momentum.
Erfu was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat next to the fourth master steadily, and there was a kang table between the fourth master, and said secretly: If the person who comes really has the ability, maybe he will send himself back to modern times, although she can't grow old with Gao Fu and handsome, but if she can take such a baby, then she can also turn into Bai Fumei.
Fortunately, the fourth master didn't know Erfu's plans, otherwise he would definitely strangle this conscienceless person with his own hands, and the fourth master saw that Erfu seemed to be calm, but he didn't care about Erfu's extraordinarily grand dress, and called loudly: "Su Peisheng, Chen Fu!"
"The slave is here!" As soon as the words fell, the two eunuchs, both wearing dark brown eunuch robes and pointed hats on their heads, appeared in the Xinuan Pavilion.
Su Peisheng, Erfu knows each other, but what about Chen Fu? Could it be that the master has a temper and doesn't even give Baylor Ye's face!
"Chen Fu, the master handed over all the things in this mansion to you, but that's how you did things for the lord, and now there are so many gossips in this mansion, you can be worthy of the lord's trust!"
The other eunuch who came in with Su Peisheng was naturally the legendary Chen Fu, who was not the worldly master as Erfu imagined, but a eunuch head who was responsible for supervising everyone in the mansion.
Erf, who was just immersed in her own thoughts, did not realize the error of her thoughts, but was wandering the world, leaving only a shell to sit aside, trying to hold on to the shelf.
Chen Fu was taken aback by the fourth master's reaction, to be honest, this Su Peisheng won the trust of the fourth master in face, but Chen Fu is a real confidant of the fourth master, and he has never been treated like this by the fourth master on weekdays, so he is really a little uncomfortable!
Su Peisheng knelt on the side, gloating, telling you to look down on your grandfather on weekdays, but now you are not like your grandfather, like a dog.
"The slave is guilty!" Chen Fu hurriedly kowtowed and said loudly.
A trace of unhappiness slipped across the fourth master's face, and he continued: "Now that there is such a rumor in the mansion, have you ever found out where it came from!"
"Hui Ye's words, the slave is incompetent, these words seem to have spread throughout the entire Baylor Mansion overnight, and the people who pass the word are different, belonging to different grandmothers and masters, and the slave has not investigated it clearly for a while, and please calm the master's anger, and give the slave some time, the slave will definitely be able to find out this matter clearly!" Chen Fu shrank his body. He took a deep breath and said like a cannon.
"Okay, then the master will give you another three days, the Chinese New Year's Eve master will keep the head in the palace, the first day of the new year, if you haven't been able to find out, then your head should also move somewhere!" The fourth master was very unhappy with Chen Fu's efficiency. I just feel that it is not beaten these days. It was only when they were so relaxed that Shen Sheng set a very tight time.
Chen Fu naturally didn't dare to bargain with the fourth master, so he hurriedly kowtowed. I should have done an errand, but in my heart I hated the gossip man half to death, and these people themselves don't want to die, and don't implicate him.
You must know that he, Chen Fuke, has just bought a house outside. In the clan, he married a little widow again, and his wife and children lived a hot kang life all day long. That's not too cool, now he is going to leave the little widow at home, and revolve around this group of palace maids who can see but not touch, he said that he is very aggrieved. He was sad.
When his father-in-law Chen is unhappy, he naturally won't let go of those who make him unhappy, and he just wants to find out the gossip. Under the oil pan, roll the nail board too.
The fourth master saw that Chen Fuying had an errand. Only then did he show a smile, but this smile did not look very happy, but made Su Peisheng and Chen Fu, who were kneeling down, shrink their necks at the same time.
"Chen Fu, you never ask about things outside, but it doesn't mean that you don't know, if you can't bear this burden, then your good days will come to an end.
What should be said, the master has already said it, you can do it yourself!" the fourth master said in a deep voice.
When Su Peisheng and Chen Fu saw that the fourth master had given the order to evict the guests, they immediately kowtowed, rolled out of the main room quickly, shrank next to the pillars under the corridor, and spoke softly.
"Who did you say caused such a thing, I really don't want to have a good New Year!" Chen Fu lowered his voice, put his hands in his sleeves, and said very unhappily.
Su Peisheng raised his chin to the east, "Who can do this, whoever is jealous of this master's favor is who did it, do you still need to think about it! It's just that this matter still needs evidence, but this matter has nothing to do with our family, but the master has handed over the matter to you!"
Chen Fu glanced at Su Peisheng fiercely, raised his arm and rubbed his chin, "You say this, our family doesn't know, it's just that there are so many people in this mansion, how can it be so easy to get evidence, and besides, the female women in this mansion are all top people, and basically they won't show their feet, but our lord doesn't care about such idle things on weekdays, why is he so angry today!"
"You are just a pig's brain, you don't want to think about which one the gossip is talking about, and then look at where our master is, in our opinion, this master is definitely the first place for this Guerjia master, you still have to work hard to check, if you can't find a result, I'm afraid that the master will really clean you up!" Su Peisheng said gloatingly.
Chen Fu glanced back at the closed door, then listened to the movement in the room with his ears pricked up, and nodded thoughtfully, "Come on, this troublesome matter still has to be dealt with early, let's go first!"
Su Peisheng had a dead and poor expression on his face, and watched Chen Fu go out of the west courtyard, and then he once again nested in the tearoom to rest, but this time he didn't dare to take off his shoes again, the humiliating appearance just now, he was afraid to think about it now, and it was also a shame that the master's attention at that time was on the master, otherwise he, the big eunuch with a face, would definitely become the master's punching bag.
..............................
In the room, the fourth master sent Su Peisheng and Chen Fu away, thinking that Erfu would definitely be fine, but he didn't expect to look back, Erfu had a dull expression, got up and came to Erfu's side, waved his hand and sent away the maid who was waiting in the room, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Erfu's shoulder, and said softly: "Now you can rest assured?"
"Ah?" Erfu really lived up to the expectations of the fourth master, and was very stupid and naïve, showing a "I'm wandering" expression.
The temper of the fourth master just now disappeared completely, but he felt that Erfu was frightened by those gossip, and he should be soothed, playing with Erfu's soft little hands, and said softly: "This Chen Fu is the first more capable eunuch in the mansion, and this matter will be handed over to him, and he will soon find out!"
