Chapter 345: Dereliction of duty

Chapter 345

When Qinghe heard this, his face was also a little more excited, and he waved his hand again and again: "The slave and maid really don't have it, the slave and maid have been waiting in the master's room all day today, that is, when the master is resting, he went to the tail room to rest." ”

"You are not in a loud voice, and you two don't have to worry.

There are 20 women's football teams in the courtyard, why doesn't Bi Lin bite others, and have to point at you Qinghe to talk? And Bi Lin, you are the palace maid who is serving under the corridor, and the errands are all arranged by the Hua Mama of the backyard director, how can you go to the east wing according to Qinghe's instructions?

As for Mama Shen, you said that you were instructed by Bi Lin to go to the housekeeper's mama!

I remember that when I came back, I confessed, there are two little masters living in this east wing, so that the other palace people don't have anything to do not go over there, and your pair of grandmothers are only taking care of the little masters, and let the palace people go to Zhang Luo for other things, I am being regarded as a deaf ear by you!" Erfu raised his hand and patted the tea table, interrupting Bi Lin and Qinghe, who were arguing non-stop, and asked in a cold voice.

"The slave maid is a second-class palace maid, it is rare to show her face in front of the master on weekdays, and she can get the eldest palace maid to tell her to do errands, so naturally she is not happy to do it, but the slave maid is too stupid, and she doesn't even know that she was used by Qinghe like this!" Bi Lin replied in a crisp voice with tears in her eyes.

Mama Shen is also very helpless, she is just too smart, thinking that there will be more palace maids and eunuchs serving by the little master's side in the future, she is now more tactful, so she can stay with the little master smoothly, and become a housekeeper in the future, so she will be supported by Bi Lin.

"The slave is the grandmother of the little master. Although the master told him not to worry about other things, Bi Lin was a palace man who served under the corridor, and the slave maid thought that it was a temporary command that you remembered. So after just a slight hesitation, I woke up Mama Jin to take care of the little master and went to find the housekeeper!" Mama Shen replied.

As for Mama Jin, who was mentioned by Mama Shen, she closed her mouth and didn't say much, but her eyes flashed with confusion, which was the same as Erfu sitting on the top.

This time, not only Erfu is stupid, but even the fourth master, who has always been good at planning people's hearts, is also stupid.

For these servants are also ambitious - just as Bileen said. She wanted to increase her exposure in front of Erfu's eyes, so that she could become a palace maid who served closely, and no longer had to be exposed to the wind and rain under the porch;

And what Mama Shen said is also true. Just like the big mama back then.

If it weren't for the eldest grandmother who has been taking care of him, he would not have taken the eldest grandmother out of the palace after the opening of the mansion, and let the eldest grandmother take care of all the trivial matters in the mansion like half a master, so this is also Shen's plan!

The fourth master showed a sympathetic smile at Erfu......

Sure enough, things in this inner house are not as easy as those intrigues in the court. Look, it's just a few servants confronting each other. A messy lawsuit was pulled out like this, and it was difficult for Erf to maintain his heart in such a big dye vat-like environment.

"Let this go in advance!" Erfu decided to put the lawsuit aside first, turned her eyes to look at the stunned Mama Jin, and asked in a low voice, "Mama Shen said that she woke you up to take care of Jiu'er and Xiao Jiu before she went to take care of Mama Shen?"

"To be honest, the slave really can't remember clearly!" replied Mama Jin in confusion.

Ahh

"I can't remember what that means?" Erph asked in a deep voice, suppressing the urge to complain.

Mama Jin's scalp was numb, and she looked at the fourth master's eyes that wanted to eat people. Stiffened his back and replied, "The slave and maid really didn't rest well yesterday, and sat in such a small carriage for half a day. The spirit is really not good, so my mind seems to be stuffed with paste, just like what Shen Mama said woke up the slave maid, and the slave maid felt that there was such an incident in a trance, but she couldn't remember when it happened!"

"I don't think that's right!" Erph pulled the sleeve of the fourth master and whispered.

"En!" The fourth master also noticed it, originally thinking that it was just that someone around Erfu had put a poisonous snake in the east wing room with outsiders, but now it seems that someone had already done something in the room before Erfu came back.

Thinking of this, the fourth master's face changed, and he called Su Peisheng in a loud voice.

"Let Imperial Doctor Hu come and see you!" the fourth master commanded in a low voice.

Su Peisheng hurriedly claimed that it was, turned back and looked at the palace maid crowded in the corner of the hall, turned around and ran towards the front yard.

"Bring in Mrs. Huang, the doorkeeper!" Erfu commanded in a cold voice while taking advantage of the time before Imperial Doctor Hu came.

When the Fourth Master's Mansion was expanded, the only two did not follow Erfu to the garden, and those who were left in the West Courtyard and never left were the gatekeepers Huang Pozi and Tan Pozi, and a few days ago, Tan Pozi was injured in the leg and had been moved to the northwest of the Siye's Mansion to recuperate, only Huang Pozi has never left.

Mrs. Huang was soon brought in.

Covered with the smell of alcohol, even if Erf was far away, he could smell it clearly.

"What's going on?" said Erph, who hated the smell of wine, and twisted a veil sprinkled with rose dew over her mouth and nose.

"The slave and maid are not very clear, the slave and maid saw Huang Pozi drunk at the square table, and the slave and maid called Zhao Dezhu to pour her several bowls of herbal tea, and then she barely woke up!" Yaoqin replied softly.

Huang Pozi knelt beside Bi Lin leisurely, saluted Erfu and the fourth master who were sitting on the head, and almost fell to the ground again, but Bi Lin couldn't see it and helped her, so as to avoid her being rude.

"Mrs. Huang, I only drink so much in broad daylight, but what is the joy at home?" Erfu asked in a deep voice, suppressing the unhappiness in her heart.

"Back to the master's words, the old slave is a lonely old widow, where is there any happy event, this is not the Qinghe girl next to you who has been watching the old slave guarding the yard alone for so many days, and specially sent the slave and maid two jars of fruit wine, and the slave and maid drank too much without holding their mouths for a while!" Huang Pozi was really fascinated by the wine, and she didn't even have a rule in front of the master, she staggered and knelt straight, patted the placket of the oil-stained twist, and muttered vaguely.

Shame on you!

Erf wanted to dig a pit on the spot and bury herself in it, and see what was going on in her yard. Why didn't even a person who obeyed the rules, first the palace maid who was responsible for serving under the corridor supported the grandmother to do things, and then there was a grandmother who ignored her instructions for the sake of development. Now there is such a doorman who gets drunk in broad daylight!

She peeked at the fourth master who had the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and only felt that her face was hot.

"You're so good that you dare to get drunk in front of the doorkeepers, and you're not afraid to let in the mess?" asked Erph, blushing.

Mrs. Huang smiled, her old face flushed, and she twisted her sleeves and wiped the corners of her mouth that were left behind, "The master doesn't like other people to come to the door." It's rare that the hostesses in the house have their own things, and this door-guarding errand is reduced!"

Oops, I'll go!

If Erfu hadn't been worried about her image in the eyes of the fourth master, she would have rushed up immediately and grabbed Huang Pozi's neck and slapped her twice. Dare to love that she doesn't like to deal with the women in the house, it has become a reason for her to hide and be idle, she drinks so much wine in the middle of the day and gets drunk, and she doesn't care about the errand in the door, so what's the use of her!

"Good. Good. Well done on your errand!

Let me ask you, who is coming to the west courtyard today, and who is going out?" Erph laughed angrily, and said hello three times in a row, and then asked through gritted teeth.

Mrs. Huang scratched the top of her hair full of oily twice, frowned as if she was thinking, and muttered vaguely after a while, "Whether anyone has been here or not, the old slave really can't remember clearly." However, the key that locked the bronze lock of the corner door was hung on the side of the door, and it was estimated that someone came to knock on the door. If someone hears it, it won't be delayed!"

Erfu didn't know how to describe her mood anymore, it was a ridiculous feeling that was speechless by the fallacy, a depressed feeling that was so angry that Huang Pozi took it for granted......

Each courtyard has its own door, and the position of gatekeeper is not for decoration.

First, the women in the house have their own thoughts, and it is inevitable to calculate each other, with the gatekeeper guarding, the people who come in and out have a file to check, and if something happens, they can also find out the scope of the suspect.

Second, in order to avoid the male master coming over, the master of each courtyard did not receive it in time, with the report of the gatekeeper, the female owner in the courtyard can arrange refreshments, hot water and other things, and there is also a gap for makeup......

"The people in your courtyard are so interesting!" Just as Erfu's face was red and hot and she was about to be able to fry an egg, the fourth master's quipping words followed.

"Leave Mrs. Huang down to wake up the bar, and ask someone to go to the side of the room to ask, see how Mrs. Tan's leg injury is, if it's convenient, take it back quickly!" Erfu commanded with a sigh, and his hands were like dead leaves falling in the wind, which was simply a twitch of nerves.

After saying that, no matter who Yaoqin arranged to do these errands, she turned around and walked out, walking straight into the concierge where she had never been.

The small room was divided in half by a floor cover, and the inner room was furnished with a bed with a shelf, a round table and four embroidered piers, and a paint-mottled dressing table by the window, and several bottles and jars in front of the bronze mirror, which were covered with dust.

There were two official hat chairs and a not very delicate square table against the wall outside, and there were a few wine jars and a few plates of cold dishes mixed with red oil on the table, the rich smell of wine and charcoal were mixed together, and Delph almost vomited on the spot, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to block his mouth and nose, and according to the position that Huang Pozi said, he looked at the position by the door, and successfully found the key to open the courtyard door.

As for the file book used to record the people entering and leaving the hospital, Erfu found it under the corner of the table, obviously it was used by Huang Pozi as a thing to pad the table legs, and the oil-stained twist could no longer see the color of the original cover, and the ghost drawing charms were even more messy inside.

"What a wonder!" said Erf, and walked to the main room with the oil-stained booklet, not even closing the door of the porter, and did not know whether to put the smell on it, or if it was so smoked that it was forgotten.

"How is it?" the fourth master looked at Erfu's obviously blue goose egg face, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"I don't know how to describe it, it's sloppy than a pig's nest. Erfu lost his temper and threw the booklet in the arms of the fourth master, and said with a dark face.

The fourth master looked at the booklet of oil-stained twists, and the whole person was not good.

As soon as he raised his hand, he threw the booklet to the ground, and the dirty booklet looked even dirtier than the snow-white palace carpet.

"I used to see that she was quite diligent when she was on errands, how did she become this virtue after these days, it is really impressive to be treated by Shibei for three days!" Erph couldn't help but rub the two fingers that had just touched the booklet, and complained in a depressed tone.

"Is this how Shibei should be impressed for three days?" The fourth master was also taken away from the topic by Erfu, and couldn't help but say.

"It doesn't matter if it's not, I remember that Mrs. Huang used to be very neat, what's wrong?" Erfu looked at Mrs. Huang who was holding a sputum bucket under the porch and muttered with confusion.

The fourth master really had a little guess about this, twisted his eyebrows and was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Maybe it's because her son was beheaded with those people who sold smuggled salt with the Cao Gang!"

"Selling smuggled salt, isn't that a big sin, isn't her son a slave in our house?" Erf's eyes widened when she heard this, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No!" the fourth master shook his head.

Back then, Kangxi personally conquered Dzungaria, and the fourth master also followed him to the battlefield.

The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, Huang Liren, the man of Huang Pozi, is in the prime of life, and he also went to the battlefield as the personal guard of the fourth master.

The fourth master thanked Huang Liren for his desperate behavior of blocking arrows, and specially ransomed Huang Pozi and other slaves of Huang Li's family, including Huang Liren's six-year-old son, and later Huang Pozi was disgusted by the widowed mother-in-law, so he begged the old man in the house to go around, re-entered the house, and became an idle gatekeeper to earn food and clothing.

And Huang Liren's only son Huang Bai became a flat-headed common man who could test his fame, with the support of his family and the large pension from Huang Liren, he entered the school to study, but he didn't use his mind on the right path, he stole chickens and dogs all day long, and took the sage book to make a fool of himself for 20 years, and still only took the title of a showman, and he was not even qualified to be a Xixi.

Huang Pozi took advantage of the affection between Huang Liren and the fourth master, begged the fourth master to come forward, and asked for an errand for Huang Bai in the county government near Zhili, so that he could take on the lintel, but he didn't want him to be mixed with the local ruffians, and he didn't know how thick he wanted to get a share of the Cao Gang in Caoyun.

This incident was made out when the fourth master went to inspect outside the Saiwai, and the fourth master was punished for a year, and Huang Bai was made a raft, that is, the fourth master had worked very hard to save his life, and in the end it did not change the fate of him being beheaded for public display.

At that time, the fourth master's mansion was expanding, and the fourth master rarely went back to the house, even if he came back, it was in the front yard, but he didn't know that Mrs. Huang was actually infected with alcoholism, and she drank so fiercely that she couldn't even do her errands.
