Chapter 390: Giving out red envelopes
Chapter 390
Guarjia Mansion's Sangege-Erye was originally a little transparent person who was stocked on the Zhuangzi, or was found to be good in appearance and figure by Qiu Mama next to Guo Luoluo a year ago, so she was arranged to serve the maid and raise the mama to teach the rules, and it is precisely because she suddenly received attention that she will be a little poor and rich for a long time and can't see her own position clearly.
She is not a smart person, but she likes to be smart, Guo Luo Luo took advantage of Erfu's fainting, took her out of Zhuangzi, and sent her to the Fourth Master's Mansion without even entering the Guerjia Mansion, she naturally understood her role.
Er, who pretends to be smart, as soon as she entered the mansion, did not pretend to be safe, but instead spent a lot of money to attract a few maids who were in charge of serving her in the guest house, hoping to know the secrets of Erfu from the mouths of these little maids, obviously her brain was not good to use to the extreme.
In her eyes, Erfu has become the outcast of Guerjia Mansion, even if Erfu has two pairs of children under her knees, she does not take Erfu in her eyes, especially when she learns that Erfu has a gentle and gentle personality and a bit of a white lotus style, she does not take Erfu seriously.
Although before she came to the Fourth Master's Mansion, Mama Qiu emphasized several times that she must respect Erfu from the bottom of her heart, put away all the careful thoughts in her stomach, and must wait until she has a firm foothold in the Fourth Master's Mansion before trying to do other things, but she still listens to the wind.
Not only did he explain that the handmaid close to him stared at the time when the fourth master entered the inner courtyard, but also met the fourth master many times when the fourth master came to visit Erfu, and even made a lot of noise in the Erfu courtyard regardless of her identity, trying to confirm her identity before Erfu woke up.
"I heard that my sister woke up, but Erlang was happy in her heart!" The face is full of false smiles, and it seems to be affectionate. In fact, it was very rude to sit directly on the empty seat on the other side of the kang table without seeing the courtesy, and said softly.
Erf heard. pursed his lips slightly, then raised his hand and sent away a few second-class palace maids who were waiting in the room, and ordered Yaoqin to serve hot tea, ignoring Erren, who was talking to himself, until the smile on Erren's face gradually disappeared, and the whole person became uneasy, then he raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, "I didn't know that there was such a sister as you?"
Erren glanced at the Yaoqin and Guzheng in the room, who were coldly looking at her, and probably guessed that Erfu had learned what she had done in the past two days from the palace maids beside her. I squeezed out a smile in my heart, and as if I was a little shy, I twisted the corners of the clothes on the shoulders of the big red Fulu Garden Dark Lines Rolling Clouds on my body, lowered my head to avoid Erfu's somewhat harsh eyes, and pretended not to understand Erfu's sarcastic soft voice and said:
"It's normal for my sister to not know about my sister's existence.
My sister has not returned to the house with Mrs. Huijing in the nunnery over the years, but this time the eldest sister returned to the house, and Eniang arranged for someone to pick me up and go back to the house, but I didn't want to ......"
"Perhaps!" replied with a smile.
Erlang heard this. The smile froze, "It's good that my sister is awake, my sister is finally relieved." ”
"Speaking of which, I'm not much different in age from you. Why don't you remember that E-Niang was pregnant, it's really confusing. "Erfu didn't want Erlang to be fooled like this, it was a bit like breaking the casserole to ask the truth. Continue to ask.
But I don't know if Guo Luo Luo had already thought that there would be such a day, or if Er Rong was really a little anxious. As soon as Erfu's words fell, she was already smiling and said, "My sister accompanied Ama to Nenjiang Mansion to worship her ancestors that year. Coveted the scenery of the northern country, and went for more than half a year, and when my sister came back from Nenjiang Mansion, my sister was already cultivating in the Jingsi Nunnery near the suburbs of Beijing. ”
"I see. "Erfu doesn't know if the original owner has been to Nenjiang Mansion to worship his ancestors, but he thinks that there should be such a thing, otherwise Erfu would not dare to talk nonsense like this, so he will no longer dwell on this issue, but ask Erren's intention.
Erlang didn't seem to expect to pass the test so easily, and a trace of luck and the joy of passing the test flashed in his eyes, which made Erfu feel a little drumming in his heart, and said secretly: Shouldn't Guo Luo Luo think that what the doctor she saw when she first came to this time said that the lost soul disease was real, so he told Erlang to make up nonsense for her.
Forget it, it can't be fake, it can't be fake, there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed.
Erfu quickly sorted out her mood and waited for Erye's answer with a light smile on her face.
"My sister heard that my sister woke up, I originally came to visit yesterday, and when I walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw that Xiao Qi and Hongxuan's two nephews and nieces were there, I didn't come over to disturb my sister's family and talk about myself, and I didn't come until this time, and I hope my sister won't be surprised!"
"What kind of big deal is this, how can you say anything strange and not strange. Erf waved her hand and said with a nonchalant expression.
Erfu said some polite words like a panacea, and pulled Erfu for a while to talk about clothes, jewelry, and other topics, until Erfu yawned one after another and fell asleep, and then reluctantly said goodbye, and got up to leave the west courtyard.
Erfu was so happy that she could make up for sleep, and directly sent Yaoqin to arrange a soft sedan chair to send Erren, a guest living in the Fourth Master's Mansion, to the guest house to rest.
After sleeping for a full hour, Erf finally relented.
After washing and dressing up again, Erfu heard the faint sound of firecrackers in the distance before he walked out of the warm pavilion, and he thought about the day in his heart, and asked with a little surprise: "What day is this?"
"Master, it's the second day of the first month. Yaoqin bowed her head.
actually fell asleep over the end of the year......
Erfu shook his head with a smile, looked at the various patterns of window paper pasted on the window, and said in a low voice: "Let the people who are serving in our yard come and kowtow, I, the master, can't deduct your New Year's red envelopes." ”
As he spoke, he asked Guzheng to find out the gold paper that was distributed in the house before the Chinese New Year and wrap red envelopes.
Guzheng is ingenious, taking advantage of the palace maid under the corridor to call people, he wrapped more than 20 red envelopes of all sizes, which were wrapped with peanut-shaped silver bills and silver gilt beads carved with Fulu patterns, magpie Dengmei and other patterns.
According to the different amounts, they were packed in several brocade-wrapped baskets, so that Erfu could reward people for a while.
The red envelope for the reward is ready. Erfu asked Yaoqin to put a pair of red gold silk double luan beads on her sideburns, and then added a garnet red embroidered grape pattern on the shoulders. Holding the warm hand stove, he led the Yaoqin and Guzheng out of the warm pavilion. sat on the chair of the master who was placed on the first place in the bright room.
More than ten familiar faces, hula lala, knelt on the ground, and said auspicious words in unison, "Slave maid/slave wishes the master more than every year, and ascends every year." ”
"Let's get up. Erf smiled and raised her hand, "You're all right." ”
After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the more than ten great eunuchs who were waiting in the courtyard, and the second-class maids who were waiting in the room and under the corridor withdrew.
The next thing that came in was the rough maid and mother-in-law who were waiting in the west courtyard.
These people were the lowest servants in the courtyard. It is mainly responsible for rough work such as sprinkling and pruning flowers and trees. Erfu didn't have many opportunities to see them, but they were the most well-informed group of people in the house, so the amount of red envelopes rewarded at this time was not light, and Erfu also deliberately left them to say a few words, showing that he valued them, and delayed a lot of tea, so Yaoqin sent them out.
After the rough maidservant came a group of people waiting in the kitchen.
The little son who commanded the kitchen of the West Courtyard now has an apprentice.
Two little eunuchs of thirteen or fourteen years old, with white cheeks. The one who is delicate, the one who is slightly taller is called Xiao Matsuko, and the one who is slightly fatter is called Xiao Xiazi, all of whom are fatherless and motherless orphans. And the relationship is clear and simple, and the good seedlings specially selected by the fourth master were sent to the West Courtyard.
In the kitchen of the west courtyard. In addition to the three apprentices of Xiaoshengzi, there are also two domestic cooks and two rough maids who burn the fire.
There was a flower girl thing before. The small kitchen has become the most important functional department of the West Courtyard, and the two cooks are carefully selected by the fourth master from the house slaves. Relatives are also serving in the mansion or in the Zhuangzi, and it can be said that their relatives and friends are under the control of the fourth master, so they serve very loyally.
As for the two rough maids who burned the fire, they were the sons of the family selected from the Zhuangzi.
Among them, Ji Jia's family was originally born in Baoyi Banner, and the family has long had no relatives, and was later assigned by the Internal Affairs Office to serve in the Fourth Master's Mansion.
Although the clan slave of Baoyiqi has become the house slave of the fourth master, and the identity seems to be not as noble as Baoyiqi, Geng Ming is only twenty-three years old and is already one of the stewards of the outer court, and her life is much more satisfactory than before.
When Erfu was asleep before, the soups such as red dates and longan soup that Erfu drank were all from the hands of this Jijia clan, and they were authentic palace meals.
"The master is in good health, and the minions/slaves are happier than receiving the big red envelope!" Erfu instructed Yaoqin to bring a few people to sit down and talk, and as soon as they sat down, Ji Jia and Xiao Shengzi said in unison.
"You guys have honey on your mouths!" Erfu said, grabbed a few red envelopes from the basket and rewarded them to Xiaoshengzi and others, and then explained that a few people had worked hard these days, and prepared a few more delicious and easy-to-store foods for the fourth master to take into the palace to cushion their stomachs, so that Yaoqin sent them out.
The last reward is the first-class palace maid who serves in the room.
Yaoqin and Guzheng, needless to say......
Erfu has always been loose on the people around her, and now there are two more Xiaowen and Xiaoman around her, and she did not specialize in any relatives and distances, and directly divided the remaining ten red envelopes in the basket to four people, each of whom grabbed two or three red envelopes in his hand, and suddenly received a full five or six taels of silver as a reward, which is equivalent to two months' monthly money.
"Yaoqin, bring out my eight-layer sour wood makeup box with luodian. As soon as Erfu finished distributing the red envelopes, she glanced at the ornaments in their hair and commanded with a smile.
At the end of last summer, the steward who went to the south to purchase from the government brought back a set of 12 pairs of red gold hairpins, which were chic, novel, and exquisitely workmanlike, and were no different from real flowers.
Although Erfu also likes it, but a set of twenty-four golden hairpins, the house will send her new jewelry every month, and the fourth master will also choose some exquisite golden hairpins from the library and the manufacturing office from time to time, and she really can't wear a head, this set of red gold hairpins has been worn a few times when it was sent, and there is no chance to wear the hairpin at other times.
But it doesn't matter if she doesn't have a chance to wear it, it's just the right time to reward the people around her.
If the four first-class palace maids around her were wearing a complete set of hair accessories, her face would look better, thinking of this, she selected four pairs of rewards she had worn from the hairpins and gave them to Yaoqin and the others.
What Yaoqin got was a pair of plum hairpins.
There are several plum blossoms arranged on the hairpin head from large to small, the petals, flower leaves, flower branches, and stamens are carved very realistically, and the heart of the flower is inlaid with a crystal clear ruby, which is particularly exquisite.
The guzheng was given a pair of chrysanthemum hairpins.
The hairpin head is a chrysanthemum in the famous product - Er Qiao, the ingenuity of the two-color golden hairpin, just right to show the wonder of the two Qiao, layers of overlapping petals wrapped in the heart of the turquoise, very gorgeous.
Xiaowen and Xiaoman got a pair of peach blossom hairpins and a pair of orchid hairpins respectively.
Although these two pairs of golden hairpins are not as gorgeous as the chrysanthemum hairpins, nor are they as delicate as the plum blossom hairpins, they are also the meticulous work of the craftsmen, and the materials are full.
The four first-class palace maids were naturally overjoyed to receive such a reward.
Compared with Yaoqin and Guzheng, Xiaowen and Xiaoman are more surprised. They were pointed out by the fourth master to serve in the West Courtyard when Erfu fainted, and it has only been a few days so far. Originally, those people laughed at them, even if they fell into the pit this time, they couldn't climb out, guarding an unconscious master, and they were afraid that they would have to accompany this comatose side Fujin in the west courtyard to get moldy and smelly in the west courtyard.
The sound is still in their ears, and the two of them did have a moment of depression, but now not only Erfu, the side Fujin, has woken up, but also, as always, is the first person in the mind of the fourth master, and they have rewarded such a good object without discrimination, they simply have a sense of surprise that they have found a treasure.
Erfu smiled and beckoned Yaoqin and Guzheng to step forward, put the red gold hairpins they were holding in their hands one by one between their hairs, looked carefully for a moment, and then whispered in a stern tone: "Yaoqin and Guzheng, although you have not been in the West Courtyard for a long time, you are also the old man next to me."
Xiaowen and Xiaoman have just arrived, and there are still many things that they don't know about the things in our yard, you have to take them to do things well, and you can't learn from those bad habits to do anything to oppress newcomers. ”
"Slaves and maids understand!" replied Yaoqin and Guzheng in a respectful voice.
"Yes. Erfu nodded with a smile, turned his eyes to look at Xiaowen and Xiaoman, who were still smirking, and said in a deep voice, "You just came to serve in the West Courtyard, I guess you don't know my temperament, I am a bit arrogant when I say it, I don't take everything to heart, but I can't tolerate such a thing as infighting."
Healthy competition, no matter what, but you are never allowed to dig a hole and set up a plotter, if I find someone doing such a thing, don't blame me for being ruthless at that time. ”
Xiaowen and Xiaoman are smart people, so naturally they will not offend the people trusted by Erfu's side, and they will not violate Erfu's taboos. )
