Chapter 245: The Entrustment of the Ulanala Clan
The bedroom by the lake returned to tranquility, Erfu lay in the arms of the fourth master, looked at the deep sleeping face of the fourth master, felt the steady breathing and heartbeat of the fourth master, and gradually fell asleep.
The peace and comfort of the night are always washed away by the dazzling morning light.
When Erfu reached out to the position beside him again, the temperature that belonged to the fourth master had disappeared, closed his eyes and smiled, slowly opened a pair of slightly hazy sleepy eyes, and softly called in Yuhua and the others who were waiting outside, Erfu stretched leisurely and sat up.
Although the fourth master is busy these days, he didn't get up early, Erfu sat in front of the dressing table, and inadvertently noticed the hidden worry that flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandmother, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart, and he unconsciously asked: "Mama, where did he go?"
Although Erf did not say who he was, everyone in the room knew that Erf was asking about the man in the house.
And the eldest grandmother and Yuhua, who went to work last night, naturally knew where the fourth master went, but they didn't know how to tell Erfu.
Before dawn tonight, under the darkest night, Chen Fu, who had always been poker-faced, hurriedly came to the gate of the small building by the lake, knocked on the closed door, woke the fourth master from the bed, and whispered a few words, and the fourth master was busy wearing a bed robe and followed Chen Fu to the front yard.
The fourth master, who attaches the most importance to the rules, is so unkempt for the first time, and even said that he left in disheveled clothes, presumably something big happened to the court, and it was something very bad.
"Mama, if there is really something, you must not hide it from me, otherwise I am afraid that I will worry more about the fourth master if I am cranky!" Hooked his lips and smiled, and said softly.
As Erfu expected, although the fourth master was in a hurry. But he didn't forget to tell Yuhua not to tell Erfu about these things in a hurry, so that Erfu would be frightened.
The eldest grandmother and Yuhua quickly glanced at each other, knelt on the ground together, and said softly: "When the master left, he made it clear that we were not allowed to talk about these things and annoy the master. β
"Okay, I won't ask, let's wait for me to make up. I'll go and say hello to Fujin later!" Seeing that Mama Cong and Yuhua couldn't ask anything, Erfu didn't force it, and smiled and let Yuhan and Yujie help the two of them up. Said softly.
With that, Erph turned around as if nothing had happened, and put on her jewelry in front of the makeup mirror.
She looked like she was not messy, but Erf's heart was already like a boiling pot. I just don't want the big mama and others to worry. Only then did he suppress the irritability in his heart, and took the jewelry that he would not normally look at and measured it on his head.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Erfu forced herself to calm down, and had a simple and delicate breakfast as usual, wearing a peach-colored placket and a cloak of brocade embroidered peach blossoms of the same color, leading Yujie and Yuhan to Rongyue Pavilion.
In the main courtyard, the Ulanala clan got up before dawn, and the movement in the outer courtyard was hidden from Erfu and the other side rooms. But she can't hide her main room, although she doesn't care about family affairs now. However, the housekeeper of the second gate still dutifully recorded the population in and out of the second gate every day.
Hearing that the fourth master left the inner courtyard in the middle of the night, her first reaction was that the Guerjia clan provoked the bottom line of the fourth master, and let the fourth master leave the inner courtyard in the middle of the night regardless of the stable and united atmosphere in the house, but this idea was immediately extinguished by her.
She noticed that it was Chen Fu who went into the inner courtyard to find the fourth master first, and the fourth master left.
This shows that something happened to the upward, and she was restless to deal with the Li family and others who came to ask for peace, and at this time she heard that Erfu was also here, and hurriedly ordered someone to lead Erfu in.
"Sit down!" Without waiting for Erff to salute, the Ulanala clan pointed to the chair in front of him and said softly.
Erfu was not polite, smiled and blessed the body and sat down, took the hot tea from the maid, and looked like he was idle and looking for the Ulanala clan to talk about it, and the Ulanala clan was a little helpless.
This girl says that she is not smart, and she is not stupid.
At this time, she obviously came here to probe the wind, but she put on a very breezy appearance, which really made her cry and laugh.
It's a shame that the Ulanala clan has extinguished her mind to compete with Erf, otherwise wouldn't she have lifted a stone to shoot herself in the foot!
"In the past, Fu Jin was too lazy to go out, but now I am a rare guest, and I don't know what is going on?"
Erfu also knows that this kind of temporary cramming behavior is a bit disdainful, but the eldest grandmother and Yuhua are gourds with sawed mouths, and they can't ask about the ugly Yinmao, and the Li family and the Song family are two poisonous snakes that have leaked the like, and they will never share the information in the house with her, and this Wulanala clan has become the only person she can ask a few words.
Fu Jin laughed, the concubine just thought that Fu Jin was busy, so she didn't dare to bother.
I heard that the master said that Fu Jin and the eldest brother took care of Xiao Qi and Hongxuan carefully yesterday, and thought that they should thank Fu Jin for being useful, so they led the two girls over. β
As he spoke, Erfu beckoned to Yuhan behind him, took the red brocade box held by Yuhan, and opened it casually, revealing the bird's nest inside.
"The concubine knew that there was nothing lacking here in Fujin, and she didn't know what to send to thank her for a while, so she had to take a box of Xiaoqi's private good things to honor Fujin!"
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, the Wulanala clan thought that Honghui had injured his foundation, and this thing had to be used, but he didn't refuse the gift from Erfu, smiled and let people accept it, and casually retreated the people who were waiting on the left and right.
There were only two people left in the room, Erph and Ulanara, who understood that this was the Ulanala clan who was going to tell her a secret, and sat up straight, the fake smile on the corner of his mouth was put away, revealing a little nervousness and apprehension.
The Ulanala clan did not deliberately go around in circles again, but quickly told what had happened at dawn this morning. even smiled evilly, and quipped: "Sister, this person sleeping next to my master has not been woken up." It can be seen that the master cherishes his sister!"
was teased by the wife of the main house, Erfu's face turned red no matter how thick it was, a pair of hands pinched the corners of his clothes uneasily, a pair of watery eyes dyed with a layer of timidity, lowered his head, and didn't even have time to consider the reason why the fourth master left the inner courtyard in a hurry.
"Okay, you are an upright side Fujin. Don't be this little daughter, if you let others see it, you still think that I, the concubine of Fujin, can't tolerate you!" A slightly cold hand grabbed Erf's tender little hand and said softly.
"Fujin, it's not like this, I'm just ......"
Erf was a clumsy man. I'm in a hurry at this time. It was even more inexplicable, but fortunately, the Ulanala clan let go of the stubbornness in his heart, looked at Erfu's face that was flushed because he was too anxious, smiled faintly, his temperament changed, and he slowly opened his mouth like a hollow valley orchid, and said softly:
"I've been sisters in the same house for many years, what kind of person are you. I already knew, you don't have to explain these things. Actually, you don't come today. I'll have you come over and talk to you another day.
When I entered such a family, I had long expected to see one after another women younger and more beautiful than me, otherwise I would not have vomited to death when I looked at those flowery girls.
It's just that a few years ago, I was fascinated by the flowers in front of me, so I did a lot of things that I regretted, and even hurt my sister.
Ever since Honghui had that serious illness, I have wanted to prescribe these things, and I have also begun to believe in the ethereal theory of cause and effect.
A curtain of dreams has hollowed out my body, and now I am just living a day. β
Ulanara's words that can be called self-reflection made Erf's mouth unable to close at all, and she wanted to persuade her to think about it, but she didn't know where to start, and her stunned appearance made Ulanala laugh out loud.
"Sister, you just have to listen today, you don't need to think about it, I've been strong for half my life, and I want to be weak at this time, and I want to vomit the bitter water in my stomach.
Honghui is a good child, but he has been hollowed out, even if he is well raised, he will be a sick man in the end, and he is afraid that he will become a rich idler in the future.
But that's fine, at least I can feel at ease, after all, he is the eldest son, if he is good, he will always have to face all kinds of calculations, I am really afraid that he will fall into someone's calculations if he is not careful, and end up in a bad end.
My sister is a kind-hearted person, I don't worry about entrusting Honghui to others, and those sisters-in-law in my family can't be counted on, so if I am not there one day, I also hope that my sister can read in our house for many years, take good care of him, and don't let him be led down the wrong path!"
As he spoke, the Ulanala clan pulled the hem of his robe and knelt in front of Erfu's eyes, so frightened that Erfu leaned back, almost fell to the ground with a chair, and hurriedly dodged the Ulanala clan's big salute sideways, and half-squatted to help the Ulanala clan get up.
"Sister, do you still blame me for the wrong things I did back then?"
The Ulanala clan insisted on kneeling on the ground, looking at Erfu with tears in a pair of phoenix eyes, with a slight choked voice in his voice, which made Erf, who had always been accustomed to seeing the Ulanala clan strong as a man, more or less uncomfortable, and squinted slightly to avoid the pitiful eyes of the Ulanala clan.
"Sister, my body can't stand it, what will this house be like in the future, I have no bottom in my heart, so I pulled this old face and begged my sister, and I also hope that my sister can read my not a simple motherly heart to respond to my matter. Ulanala continued.
The son of father and mother will be remembered far and wide.
Erfu didn't understand this before, and even felt that it was very empty, but now he had a little understanding, looking at the expectant eyes of the Wulanala clan, he nodded a little stiffly, and said softly: "Fujin, no matter what the future holds, as long as the eldest brother doesn't hurt Xiao Qi and Hongxuan, I will definitely do my best to protect him and not let him be hurt!"
Get up quickly, the concubine really doesn't deserve such a big gift from you......"
Seeing that Erf agreed, the Ulanala clan stood up according to Erf's strength, slightly straightened the wrinkled hem of her robe, sat down next to Erf again, and told Erf about her childhood at home, chatting like a close friend in the boudoir, which gave Erf a feeling of re-acquaintance with the Uranara clan.
It's just that this moment came too late, and if it had been earlier, they might have become the best allies.
It's hard to stand alone, in this fourth master's mansion, she is too weak.
Relying only on the protection of the fourth master, it is inevitable that there will be times when she can't take care of it, she wants to become strong, but she really has no way to study.
This house fight really requires some talent and inheritance.
She, a person with no inheritance and no talent, is a living cannon fodder female partner.
Fortunately, she received the attention and protection of the fourth master, so she held her little life and let her give birth to a son and a daughter safely.
At this time, I listened to the Wulanala clan talk about when she was a child, since she was married by Kangxi, she followed her grandmother to learn housekeeping and calculus, looking at the helplessness that flashed in her eyes, I deeply felt that she should talk to the Wulanala clan more in the future, and let her fill in this important lesson.
In the future, the fourth master is going to become the emperor's man, and she, a little woman, must learn to be strong first, otherwise the struggle is more cruel in the inner palace life, and I really don't know how long she can survive.
The two talked happily, but they didn't forget the fourth master who left the mansion at dawn, but even if they thought about it exaggeratedly, they didn't think about what happened in the palace.
......
The faint candlelight in the dead wind lantern outside the window was the only light of this dawn, the fourth master listened to Chen Fu's soft whisper, his face was completely dark, and he didn't even have time to put on the robe hanging on the hanger, but he just told the eldest grandmother not to tell SΓΉ Erfu about the matter, so he followed Chen Fu and hurriedly walked to the outer courtyard, and saw Liang Jiugong, the eldest duke beside Kangxi, in the study.
I saw that Liang Jiugong, who had been well maintained in the past, was tanned, walked with a little limp, hung one arm on his chest with a bandage, and held a bright yellow silk cloth holy decree in one hand.
The poor fourth master, who had just been caught from the bed, knelt on the ground in a daze, and according to the holy decree, he quickly dressed neatly and rode a fast horse, and ran with Liang Jiugong to the Yamen of the Nine Gate Admiral, and brought the garrison stationed outside the north gate to the outside of the palace as the owner of the white flag.
As soon as those garrisons were arranged, before they had time to catch their breath, the fourth master saw two fire dragons approaching the foot of the palace from a distance, and only then did he notice that on the somewhat simple carriage, it was not someone else, it was Kangxi Ye who was patrolling outside the fortress.
didn't have time to think too much, the fourth master hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and smelled a faint smell of blood, under the light of the torches next to him, he found that Kangxiye's face was a little pale, and his eyes, which were already a little eyesick, had no focus.
Kangxi Ye didn't talk to the fourth master, but just asked the fourth master to lead someone to escort him back to the palace, and instructed Long Keduo to send another carriage to Yuqing Palace, and an even more inconspicuous carriage to the beekeeping mezzle.
The fourth master was full of doubts, but he could only lead a team of people to escort Kangxi's inconspicuous carriage into the palace gate, and watched Kangxi Ye staggered into the heavy palace gate with the support of the two guards. (To be continued......)
