Chapter 696: Misunderstanding Deepens
Chapter 696
In the study, the fourth master, who had no intention of political affairs, had shouted 'Su Peisheng' at the top of his voice for the fifth time, and the poor little eunuch who was waiting under the corridor returned a few times under great pressure, and when his head was sweating and anxious, Su Peisheng finally came back with four square steps.

At this moment, the fourth master's soul cry sounded once, "Su Peisheng." ”
I saw that Su Peisheng, who had one foot on the steps, actually twisted his body stiffly, shook off the little eunuch who was about to support him, ran a few steps to the side, and ran back as fast as he could, panting in response, "The slave is here!"
"Hurry up and come in and reply!" With the crisp sound of putting down the tea bowl, the fourth master responded angrily, and drove out the two brothers Wang Yicheng who were waiting in the room.
As competitors, the three of them met under the corridor, Su Peisheng had a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and he accepted the disdainful little eyes thrown to him by the two brothers of the Wang family with a sloppy face, turned around and closed the door of the study, and took the initiative to come to the bookcase without waiting for the fourth master to urge.
Before he finished the ceremony, the fourth master couldn't wait to ask about his harvest.
Su Peisheng didn't dare to hide it, nor did he dare to talk nonsense, so he had to tell the fact that he didn't find out at all, and he was so shrugged and bowed in a state of waiting for the fourth master to fall, and he didn't dare to look up.
"Are you saying that Yaoqin said that the letters written by Fang Fujin are all trivial matters, or they are just venting the complaints in their hearts, and there is nothing strange and incomprehensible?"
Su Peisheng nodded, "That's true, Yaoqin is the most trusted palace maid by Fang Fujin's side, and she serves her every day." ”
"That means that these letters were written secretly!" the fourth master muttered, leaning back on the back of the chair, and at the same time his fingers unconsciously flicked the hand of the jade bead on his wrist, which was a small action when the fourth master was thinking, and it was a detail that unfamiliar people could not discover.
Su Peisheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: Even if this matter is fooled, but he doesn't know that the fourth master has a big brain, to say that the fourth master is really good to Erfu, but his nature is suspicious, if it weren't for Erfu's brainless appearance of a little white flower all these years, it is estimated that he would have been sent to an invisible place by the fourth master, but at this time, Erfu actually showed his defensive attitude towards people, which made the fourth master think too much at once.
If it weren't for the fact that the fourth master still knew that Bai Jiao was a woman, and Erfu had a deep affection for him, it is estimated that he would now let Zhang Bao lead the guards in the house to take people, and he was even more eager to know the content of Erfu and Bai Jiao's letter, what kind of secret content did she even hide from the most trusted maid around her, is it really as those unreliable rumors say, what kind of outside heart did she not have on this trip to Shengjing? Or is the death of Jiu'er and Xiao Jiu Erfu's bitter plan?
I have to say that if a person's suspicion is together, then everything will be suspicious.
It's like Erph herself has a little calculation, and she is a thief who avoids everyone's attention, hides in the small world inside the bed curtain, and secretly writes a secret letter to Bai Jiao, even if she writes a letter on the bookcase, and people who don't know how she communicates with Bai Jiao can't decipher the content of their letters, but she just feels at ease when she hides and writes secretly, and she still doesn't know that the little secret she secretly hid to write a letter has been exposed by a conversation between Su Peisheng and Yaoqin.
She sent Su Peisheng away, and went directly into the inner room without Yaoqin and others to serve her, climbed onto the bed again, and continued to use the not very bright light, breaking her fingers, gently plucking the abacus beads, and calculating her own money.
Over the years, there have been more and more industries under her hands, and the stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and at the same time, the activity money in her hands has become less, before she thought that she would eat and live in the fourth master's mansion, eat and wear, and there should be a share every month, plus the fourth master often supplemented her, she didn't leave too much money around her, and most of the income was left for Bai Jiao to continue to operate outside, and now if she suddenly wants to cash out, it will inevitably attract the attention of others, but if she doesn't buy some properties, she will go out with this little thing, she is really afraid that she will starve to death outside。
After all, as long as they take the step of cheating to death, she and Xiao Qi will have no turning back at all.
Erph rummaged through the title deeds of several shops in the dark grid, these were all prosperous shops she had purchased in the south, even if they were released to collect rent, it was a lot of income, but now she had to pick a few of them to sell.
To sell the chickens that laid eggs one by one, Erfu was a little reluctant in the end, so he only flipped through and put the title deed back into the brocade box, locked it carefully, and once again withdrew it into the dark grid, and then hit the idea on those fixed fields.
Ordinary fertile land, one hundred and ten acres of land, can only be realized in thousands of taels of silver.
Not to mention a drop in the bucket, it's not easy to get rid of it, after all, it's almost autumn now, and seeing that the food in the field can become productive and increase the income of her small treasury, it is at this time to make a move, in the eyes of those people in the tooth line, it is definitely a very strange thing.
"Do you want to let the tea plantation in the south be sold?" After all, in recent years, the road of selling tea is not easy to walk, and there is a natural and man-made disaster, even if a car of tea is completely turned into firewood leaves, it is a little careless, stained with some rain, or not ventilated, it is also a matter of breaking the bones, so the price of tea is getting lower and lower, that is, she has more shops everywhere, which is barely self-produced and self-sold。
It's just that the tea plantations in the south have been handed over to the Yubing family to take care of, once there is any change in the industry over there, the Yubing family will inevitably come back, but the position of the manager of each shop is a radish and a pit, it's not good to take down someone's seat casually, this is really a whole body, no wonder she discussed with Bai Jiao several times without a result!
But it's embarrassing, she has to make up her mind today, if she drags on like this, when will she be able to leave this rich and prosperous mansion on the surface, but in fact it is full of filth and pickles!
Caught in a dilemma, Erf finally came up with an unreliable idea.
She placed a few inconspicuous property deeds on the bed, closed her eyes tightly, and changed the positions a few times until she herself could not remember what property the positions corresponded to, and then she wiped a few handfuls and took the three title deeds in her hand.
Well, this look, I almost didn't scare her to cry.
I don't know when, a head actually sticks in from outside the bed curtain, staring at her without blinking, if it weren't for the fact that it's still bright outside, this bare head sticking in from the bed curtain can scare her to death.
"Whew!"
Erfu exhaled a breath of turbidity, patted his undulating chest again and again, rolled his eyes angrily, and said coldly: "Fourth master, you are really interested, you just sent Father-in-law Su to send something to the concubine, why did you come here by yourself at this time, come on, why didn't you make a sound when you came in!"
After speaking, she pulled the messy title deeds on the bed as quickly as possible, stuffed them into the sleeve tube, lifted the bed curtain angrily, and walked under the bed barefoot, the whole process was so natural and there was no trace of performance, but in the eyes of the fourth master, she was just forcibly calming.
In fact, this is true, the moment Erfu saw the fourth master, she was first startled by the sudden appearance of the figure, thinking that she had seen a ghost, and saw clearly that the person who came was the fourth master, but she was even more afraid, for fear that the fourth master would find something wrong from her fiddling with the title deed, and what suspicions she had, so she raised the spirit of 120,000 points, and came to such a preemptive sound, thinking that she would bluff the fourth master first.
With an indignant face, he sat barefoot on the embroidered pier at the table, and no matter when the herbal tea on the table was prepared, he poured himself a bowl and drank it, and then turned his head to look at the fourth master who seemed to be smiling on the side, swallowed his saliva fiercely, deliberately changed the topic, ignored the stack of title deeds in her sleeve, and threw a roll of eyes to the fourth master with a little coquettishness, and said coquettishly: " Fourth master, how can you come in and don't let people spread the word, look at the concubine who scared the body, this is really three souls out of the body, and a cold sweat broke out when he landed. ”
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, not to mention that in broad daylight, there are servants waiting inside and outside your door, that is, there is really something bad, or the elves and monsters in the book you read come out, you just scream, what is there to be afraid of!" The fourth master stroked the green beard under his chin with a smile, deliberately glanced at Erfu's bulging sleeves, and then walked unhurriedly to Erfu's side and sat down, smiled and took a sip of Erfu's used tea bowl, took a sip of herbal tea, and glanced at the jade pen tube exposed from the corner of the quilt, and said softly.
Erfu didn't notice that the fourth master could see the jade pen tube, and he didn't expect the fourth master to peek at her and Bai Jiao's communication, just when the fourth master was a casual sentence, he was a little unhappy when he landed, what kind of ghost cover, this is just standing and talking without backache, if it was the fourth master who was scared, see if he could be so light-hearted, so she blackened her face when she landed, and answered angrily, "When you say this, who won't say it?"
What don't you do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, if you really want those dead people to knock on the door, I really want to see who will not be afraid, haven't you seen Journey to the West, Tang Taizong is such a powerful person, not to mention the ancient Mingjun, that is also a generation of Mingjun, it is such a character, that is afraid that the ghost of the Dragon King of Jinghe will find him trouble, it can be seen that this so-called do not do bad things, not afraid of ghosts calling the door, that is just a big braggart.
The concubine is a little woman, even the fluffy little mouse is afraid, not to mention the ghost that even Tang Taizong is afraid of, you should stop talking about these gods and ghosts with the concubine in the future!"
In fact, Erfu is not pleasing to the eyes of the fourth master at this time, so whatever the fourth master says, she habitually pushes back, not to mention that she herself can travel to the Qing Dynasty, and she has more awe of those strange things, but now the fourth master listens to this, but he doesn't think about it a little more, he used to look at Erfu is not like those women in the back house like the Buddha chanting, but now he has placed a Buddhist hall in the room, is it really like those rumors.
The three of them became tigers, and everyone said this, some rumors, you suddenly knew that it could not be true, but once there were more people who said it, you would have doubts in your heart, and the fourth master was a suspicious character, combined with Erf's strange behavior, he also thought too much.
After all, Erfu's sister-in-law and concubine are the favorite concubines in the palace.
According to Concubine De Niangniang, that is also a very scheming smart woman, if Erfu begged the concubine to help, if you really want to do something in the Yonghe Palace, it is not completely impossible, although it seems that Erfu and her mother's family are not close, but in the end, it is the blood that breaks the bones and tendons, who can really see whose sincerity, which can also explain why it is Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er in the swaddling clothes who are infected with the disease, and it is not Hongxuan, who is more threatening to the position of the prince.
Trust and suspicion are the fine line.
A look, a word, an action may make you suspect a person instantly, Erfu has had so many strange actions recently, it is no wonder that the fourth master will be suspicious of her, living in the palace as a child, everyone knows that giving birth to an heir for the emperor is a life-saving talisman in his hand, but in history, it is not a ruthless woman who has not hurt her relatives and blood to fight for favor and seize the throne, for example, Wu Zetian said in the wild history that he strangled his daughter with his own hands and blamed the king and queen.
"You're right.
It seems that you know a little bit about the history of the Tang Dynasty, but you really didn't find out before!" The fourth master said with a casual smile, and then mentioned Wu Zetian, the eternal empress who was a deviant in the minds of all men.
Erfu, who has received modern education since childhood and lives under the banner of equality between men and women, although she has a lot of incomprehension about Wu Zetian's obsession with imperial power and does not hesitate to hurt her own children, she is not very disgusted with women like Wu Zetian, on the contrary, she feels that Wu Zetian can be a great success to ascend the throne and become the emperor under the feudal idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, which is worthy of admiration, but she will not show her admiration for Wu Zetian stupidly in front of the fourth master, after all, men in this era still treat women as accessories to blindly arrogant straight male terminal cancer patients, so she just smiled and shook her head, Gu left and right he avoided the question of the fourth master, only said that he was only a shallow learner, and he really didn't know anything about the boring historical biography of Tang History, if she talked about the stories in the book, she could still say something, such as what to run to and to run and Ba Bo to run.
"You really need to read more. After listening to Erfu's words, the fourth master smiled and left, leaving Erfu, who was full of confusion, looking at the door and silently stunned.
