Chapter 702: A Little Touch

Chapter 702

At this time, the Zhuangzi where Erfu is located, with a radius of only more than 30 acres of land, can be regarded as the most inconspicuous one of the four masters' mansions in the suburbs of Beijing, with a total of more than ten families. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The desolate and shabby three-room brick house is the most magnificent courtyard here.

Yaoqin pinched the gold bracelet in her hand, she really didn't worry about Erfu staying in the yard by herself, discussed with Ya'er, and decided to go to the villager's house alone to buy some things to use, leaving Ya'er to accompany Erfu in the room, and called Ya'er to go out and bolt the scattered courtyard door, and then ran to the courtyard of Zhuangtou as fast as possible.

"Master, the slave maid just took a look!" Ya'er sent Yaoqin away, stepped on her feet and looked at Erfu sitting alone in the upper room, turned her head to look around the yard, pushed away the crooked mud and grass room in front of the upper room, endured the unpleasant musty smell, rummaged through, and then returned to the upper room, and said softly to Erfu, who was shrunk in the corner of the kang and basking in the sun with her arms and knees crossed, "In the small kitchen over there, although there are no pots and pans to use, there are a lot of dry firewood piled up in the corner, why don't the slaves boil some water and wait for you to wash up." ā€

When Erfu heard this, she looked back at the girl and smiled, and shook her head, "You don't have to be busy serving me, I see that there is a wheel at the root of the back wall, you go over and see if it is a well, if it is a well, bring some water, let's quickly wipe the dust in the room, I don't know how long we want to live here, we can't just live in such a mess all the time!"

After speaking, she pulled the handkerchief and wiped her dusty little hands, lifted the hem of her robe, and stood up from the kang.

The small three-room tile house, the area is not large, but it is not small, although it looks very shabby, but there are also a few kinds of furniture furnishings, far better than the furnishings of the average villager, but no one has cleaned up for too long, covered with dust and cobwebs, it will look so dilapidated, just when the girl went to the small kitchen to look through, Erfu has carefully looked at the kang cabinet placed by the window, made of fine wood, although some paint has been dropped, wipe and wipe lightly, it should still be able to make do.

This discovery made her heart a little happy.

At first, when Erfu was clumsily thrown into such a small courtyard where birds don't, she was really full of resentment, but after slowly calming down, she found that this place might be more in line with her requirements.

Different from the imperial villages that the emperor gave him when the fourth master opened the mansion, each of them was vast and fertile, and there were hundreds of servants in the village, even if it was another courtyard on the Zhuangzi, it was also a high-gate compound with deep locks, and looked at the courtyard door at the gate of the courtyard that was tied with square flute wood, Erfu estimated that she was a little woman who could kick the door panel apart with one foot, just such a desolate place where birds don't, if she wanted to contact Bai Jiao, it should be a breeze.

The only thing that worries her is that the process of leaving the house is too hurried, and there is no body money around her that can be used to make a point, but fortunately, she wants to see Imperial Doctor Hu today, so she asked Ya'er to comb a more gorgeous shelf for her, and there are a lot of precious jewelry on this hairpin. Or Yaoqin took her waist card to Beijing to find Bai Jiao for help, after all, those eunuchs sent her here and left in a hurry, without leaving anyone to guard, and did not stipulate the scope of action of her, Ya'er, and Yaoqin.

"Master, don't interfere, the temperature of this well water is not low, just let the slave and maid come!" Seeing that Ya'er used a copper basin with a missing mouth to make a basin of clean water, and was about to turn around to find a rag to make a rag to clean up the dust in the room, Erfu rolled up her sleeves and pressed the handkerchief into the water, Ya'er hurriedly stopped Erfu's next move, and while twisting out the handkerchief and putting it back in Erfu's hand, she persuaded softly.

Erf shook her head with a smile, and wiped the kang cabinet with a twisted handkerchief.

"Now that you're out of the house, it's just you, me and Yaoqin inside and out, let's not pay attention to these false courtesies, if you clean up this room by yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to clean it up at night!"

After speaking, she asked Ya'er to change another basin of water.

I don't know how long no one has lived in this house, when I entered the door, I felt that it was gray everywhere, this cleaned up, it was really dirtier than what I saw, the brand-new Sujuan cloth, Erfu took it and wiped half of the kang cabinet, even the inside of the kang cabinet has not been wiped so dirty that it can not see the original color, a basin of clear water, it is almost about to become mud pond water, but fortunately, it is all some floating dust, so wiped it, the original face of the kang cabinet is completely exposed, the good lacquer cabinet, there is no trace of insect and rat bites, but it is also just right to use.

Erfu and Ya'er's master and servant were busy all the time, and cleaned up the inner room with a big kang, and even the old gray and cobwebs on the beams were cleaned up with the sorghum stalks piled under the kitchen, and Yaoqin also successfully got a few sets of bedding from the Zhuangtou's house, and then led the Zhuangtou's lady back to the small courtyard.

The Zhuang head here is surnamed Ke, in the family line three, the family is poor, there are many children, he has no serious name, so people inside and outside call him Ke San, this lady is the daughter of the Zhuang family, into the door of Ke San's family, the original surname is basically no one remembers, all call her Ke San's family, look at it is a neat and neat, black and thick long hair neatly coiled behind the head, hairpin with a pair of plain silver hairpins, wearing a dark red tie-dyed twist cloth gown, under the same color horse face skirt, followed Yaoqin as soon as he entered the door and hurriedly handed over the futon in his hand to Ya'er, to Erfu respectfully made a blessing, very regular greetings: "Slave maid Ke San's family, please give the side Fujin peace, the side Fujin is auspicious!"

"Sit down and talk!

I'm leading the girl to clean up the house, and I'm grizzling, so I won't invite you to tea!" Erfu sat on the edge of the kang with a smile, raised his hand, pointed to an official hat chair that had just been rubbed out of his head, and politely let Ke San's family sit down.

Ke San's family has been married to Ke San's family for some years, but it is the first time to see the master of the house, and it is a side Fujin, although on the way here, I heard Yaoqin say that this side Fujin is a very easy-going person, that is always holding a breath in his throat, nervous as if he is going to the battlefield recruits, listening to Erfu talking to himself so casually, it can be regarded as a sigh of relief, but he does not dare to relax too much, after all, when listening to Ke San's gossip, according to his aunt, that is, the eldest grandmother, these ladies of large families are the most pompousDecent.

"Slave and maid Xie Fang Fujin. ā€

Ke San's family saluted a little stiffly, then set up a chair and sat down, and said the words that Ke Laosan told her in one breath.

It's nothing more than some pleading, what Ke San was too slack, he couldn't clean up the yard where Erfu lived, and he didn't prepare his own luggage earlier, but he bothered Erfu to come and clean up by himself, it was really a sin and sin, and I begged Erfu to forgive Ke San.

Erf heard it, and just laughed.

She went out of the house to avoid illness this time, it was too hasty, and she was stuffed into the carriage by a few eunuchs without even packing her own luggage, how could she ask such a bird to prepare everything on the Zhuangzi of the bird does not, but look at the attitude of the Ke San family, I think this Ke San is also a decent person, after all, Erfu is a side Fujin, and suddenly appeared on such a dilapidated Zhuangzi, anyone who sees it knows that she is a poor person who has been rejected by the fourth master, if it falls into the hands of those sour and good management of the Zhuangtou, I want to come to her fate, compared to the situation of the Yuman concubine Mu Suri who was sent to Shengjing Zhuangzi by Guo Luoluo, and it's definitely not much better.

"You are too serious, I came out suddenly this time, not to mention that you are unprepared, I am also unprepared, otherwise I would not have followed such two people around me, and I didn't bring any of these covers, and I would trouble you. Dealing with honest people, the pressure in Erfu's heart was a lot lighter, and he smiled and said a few kind words, so he used the excuse of settling down early, and asked Yaoqin to send Ke San's family out.

"Master, this Ke Sanjia is not a person who can talk and do things. Ya'er helped Erfu to sit aside and rested, and went to sort out the covers sent by Ke San's family.

To tell the truth, Ya'er has lived in a wealthy family since she was a child, don't look at the disaster at home, but she really hasn't suffered anything, even if she enters the Old Summer Palace as a rough palace maid, the physical things used for food and clothing are much better than the girls of ordinary people, look at these coarse woven bedding sent by Ke San's family, if she doesn't dislike it, then it's called an accident!

Instead, Erf looked at it and smiled.

This is an authentic coarse woven cloth, and the cotton is also thickly spread, which is much better than the bedding she bought in modern times, not to mention the bedding taken out by a farmer's family, which is so clean and tidy, it is already a very good family.

She is now a feathered phoenix who is not as good as a chicken, and it is quite good to have food and shelter.

"Don't talk nonsense, this Ke San family is a Zhuang family, there is such a cover for us, it is already very good, you are really not satisfied, if she really sent some silk and satin, then I really want to sum it up, hurry up and clean up, we will live on this kang today, you will light up the stove outside in a while, I don't know how long it has been since there has been no one here, I think this kang is very trendy!" Erfu took the basket that Yaoqin had brought back from Ke San's house just now and looked through it in her hand, and looked out the window, she didn't want Ya'er's casual words to be heard by Ke San's family, who had just gone out.

As she was talking, Yaoqin returned to the room, she handed the red gold bracelet in her sleeve back to Erfu's hand, and said respectfully: "The slave maid and Ke San's family have inquired, there are not a few families in this village, but there is a small village next to it, there is a small shop in the village that sells needles, threads, brains, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and the slave maid plans to go over in a while, so the things in this yard, I'm afraid I will have to make the girl work harder!"

"Then dare to be kind, you hurry up, lest it get dark for a while, and this road is not easy to walk. As for this bracelet, you still hold it, don't look at the things you want to buy are small things, but there are a lot of things to buy, and the odds and pieces of silver are not enough, so don't be too tight. Erfu didn't take the bracelet handed back by Yaoqin, shook his head, and said softly.

This trip out, it's really too hurried, even if Yaoqin has some broken silver to reward the servants, it is estimated that there is not much, don't look at the needles, threads, brains, firewood, rice, oil and salt, these things are not expensive, but they really have to be purchased, there is no silver of ten taels or eight, it is really not enough!

Seeing that Erfu said this, Yaoqin didn't insist, she was still thinking about going to the village next door to ask the doctor to grab a few pairs of decoction, and the things next to her could be saved, or buy less to make do with it first, but the medicine that Erfu wanted to use, she didn't dare to make do with it at all, what kind of disease is tuberculosis, it is life-threatening, if there is no good medicine, she is really afraid that Erfu will wither like a delicate flower.

As for contacting the fourth master, Yaoqin shook her head secretly in her heart, she really didn't expect the fourth master to be so ruthless, no matter what, this Erfu is also really distressed by the fourth master, how can she be treated so coldly!

She really couldn't figure it out, but she didn't dare to say it to block Erfu, so she finally nodded, took the bracelet that Erfu stuffed back into her hand, tightened her clothes and walked out, and let Ya'er bolt the door, and then walked outside the Zhuangzi.

"Bang bang bang......" Just as the girl was busy arranging the firewood and boiling water in the kitchen, and Erf was sitting in the upper room with nothing to do and holding her pillow in a daze, there was a knock on the tightly tied courtyard door from outside.

Erff tilted her head in confusion, pulled her shoes and came to the door.

"Who!" asked the girl, running out of the kitchen.

The voice of Ke San's family, who had just left, sounded from the door, Ya'er looked at Erfu who was standing at the door of the room, and saw Erfu nodded, so she took off the square flute wood of the bolt door, and the figure of Ke San's family appeared at the gate of the courtyard again.

This time, she didn't go to the yard, just stood at the door and talked to the girl, "The big girl just now brought some pots and pans over the guy, I went back and thought about it, and there should be no ingredients for Fang Fujin, so I specially took some ingredients and sent them over, all of them are home-grown and home-raised, and I don't know what Fang Fujin likes, I hope the big girl won't dislike it." ā€

"I'm really bothering you. When Erfu heard this, he also came to the gate of the courtyard, and while signaling the girl to take the things sent by Ke San's family, he smiled and let Ke San's family into the courtyard, and took off a pair of plain silver beaded earrings that he wore in his ears and rewarded, "It's hard for you to think about it thoroughly, this trip is too urgent, this is really lacking these things!"

"This ...... This...... Slaves and maids don't dare to ask for it!" Ke Sanjia stumbled and pushed, saying that he would not accept the pair of earrings that Erff had rewarded, and finally turned around and ran away, forgetting to take the basket.

Erfu looked at the somewhat stumbling back of Ke San's family and muttered, "The Zhuang family is simple. ā€
