Chapter 974

Don't look at Erfu's journey from the Fourth Master's Mansion to the Old Summer Palace, she took a car or a sedan chair, and her shoes didn't touch the ground much, but the dirt road paved with loess and the carriage without shock-absorbing measures were matched together, and the taste really didn't have to be much more comfortable on her legs. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

She was lying on the soft futon at this time, and couldn't help but let out a low moan, thinking of asking Bai Zhi to come over and pinch her shoulders and lumbar spine for herself, but just as she was about to speak, she thought of Yujie's side, she swallowed all the words that had already reached her mouth, turned her head to Shilan, who was placing her luggage in the cabinet, and whispered: " Don't be busy sorting out these things, just leave them to the little girls waiting outside, you lead Bai Zhi to the side room, let Bai Zhi show Yujie, this way, she is too hard to sit in the linoleum car, I am afraid that her body will not be able to bear it, if I knew that this road is so difficult, I should not let her follow me over, or arrange a sedan chair for her. ”

In the eyes of others, Erfu keeping Yujie by her side is a way to buy people's hearts, but she really feels sorry for the servants around her, or should it be said that she does not regard the servants who serve around her as slaves, but is a bit similar to the employee, part-time worker, full-time nanny This type of occupation, she is responsible for paying, and the servants should serve wholeheartedly when they receive their salaries, even after these servants get married, she will fulfill her responsibilities as a leader, and help when she can, such as Yujie who was wronged and came to ask for help at this time.

It's just that others can't understand Erfu's thoughts, even Shilan and Shiqing around her inevitably think that Erfu treats Yujie so well because she wants to keep Yujie as an example in the house, so that the servants around her will be more dedicated and loyal, so when they treat Yujie, they don't act like they treat sisters who are also on errands, but more like entertaining a guest who is a guest in the house, more than polite and polite, and not close and considerate.

Although she knew that this mode of getting along was not conducive to Yujie's reintegration into the general environment of the house, Erfu didn't say much, because she knew that if she showed her sincerity now, then Shilan and Shiqing, and even Bai Zhi and other palace maids would twist into a rope to resist Yujie, the palace maid who was once the most face-saving in front of Erfu, just like the women in the palace have been fighting non-stop since the first day they entered the palace, and the same is true of these palace maids who are on errands in the palace。

So relatively speaking, this kind of misunderstanding now makes it easier for Yujie to gain a firm foothold again.

Regarding this, Erfu was worried that Yujie would be psychologically sensitive after too many setbacks, and he also explained to her in detail when no one was in the way, so Yujie did not show discomfort, how to be on an errand, even if Erfu asked her many times to recuperate in the room, but it should be her errand, she has never been negligent, just like this time to come to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer, Yujie, who has taken over the errand of the housekeeper and grandmother, has done a good job with the other housekeepers and grandmothers in the house, making it easier for Erfu to arrange the manpower in the house。

However, Erfu's various practices can hide from the second-class palace maids who serve outside and the rough servants who sprinkle and sweep at the bottom, but it is difficult to hide from Shilan and others, who are the most often contacted around them, Shilan and others at first misunderstood Erfu's plans, but slowly they figured it out, so this time the small temptation unconsciously drilled out.

For example, at this time, Shilan led Bai Zhi to the wing room to check Yujie's pulse according to Erfu's instructions, and Shiqing, who stayed in the room to serve, muttered a little unhappily: "Master, you treat Sister Yujie so well, the slave maid is red when she looks at it!"

"I wish I would never have to treat you like a porcelain doll with such care. Hearing this, Erfu sat up, lazily pulled the pillow and stuffed it behind his waist, leaned lazily on the head of the bed, looked at Shiqing with a somewhat bitter expression, and whispered in a very heavy tone, "You and Shilan are the wedding maids arranged by Eniang for me, so I don't want to hide it from you people."

In my opinion, no matter how powerful you are in the house, it is all a bit of a void, and the greatest happiness of being a woman is to meet a husband who is like a jewel for you when you should get married, and give birth to three or two obedient and sensible, intelligent and clever children, and Hemeimei, Live this life happily, so whether it is Yujie or you, as long as you have the intention of marrying, I will do my best to fulfill you, and I hope that you can live well, I really don't want to see Yujie happen again.

Today, I will tell you these words, and you can tell them to Shilan, and stop being jealous of Yujie being favored in front of me, she is much more pitiful than all of you, and if I am not mistaken, she may be alone with me for the rest of her life. After speaking, her nose and eyes were sour, it was not her hypocrisy, as long as she thought of Yujie's white hair, she didn't even have any relatives around her, and she felt an indescribable grievance in her heart.

But Erfu has no ability to give Yujie a child, nor does she have the ability to give Yujie happiness.

Hearing Erff say these words earnestly, the poet was a little stunned.

It is undeniable that all women in the world are looking forward to a beautiful wedding when they are young, and they have a good husband who knows cold and hot, maybe they will not look forward to a happy life like a prince and princess like modern girls, but no one will be born unwilling to marry, unless it is a woman who has seen too many tragedies and suffered serious emotional injuries, but as a slave, Shiqing and others want to talk about marriage and want the master to be the master, with Erfu's words as a guarantee, even if it is the most calm thing, the eyes can't help but flash a little joy.

"Do a good job, work hard, and when the time is right, I will choose the right person to arrange the marriage for you, after you get married, if you don't want to stay at home and be a woman around the stove, I can also arrange a suitable errand for you, and then call you back to your side, if you want to be a yellow-faced woman who does her duty, I won't force it, so don't compete with Yujie anymore, your horizons will be relaxed, and your mood will be much better." Seeing that Shiqing's expression moved slightly, Erfu smiled and beckoned her to come forward, raised his hand to touch Shiqing's smooth cheeks like peeled eggs, and promised softly, "And I also promise that I will not keep you by my side until the age of an old girl who is disliked, this daughter's good age is only a few years, if it is really delayed, I will not be complained by you for the rest of my life." ”

After speaking, she smiled and shrank back into the bed,

It's just that after taking a carriage from the house to the Old Summer Palace for half a day, she felt that her back hurt and her legs cramped all over her body, and Erfu couldn't tell whether it was because she was old and her body was heavy, or because of lack of exercise. Too weak, in short, just sit on the head of the bed for a while, she felt a little out of breath, and originally planned to go to see how Xiao Qi and Hongxuan settled down later, she pinched her neck with her backhand a little bitterly, and explained that Shilan waited for Shilan to come back and go over to see for herself, so she lazily tucked the corners of the quilt and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

By the time she opened her eyes again, it was a little dark outside.

After a good night's sleep, her body was just a little sore and tired, but it was already sore, Erfu raised her eyes to look at Shilan, who was sitting by the window and embroidering in the faint light of the lantern under the porch, and reluctantly sat up, holding her long hair scattered behind her ears, and commanded softly: "You go to the kitchen, let the other side send more hot water, I want to take a bath, relieve the fatigue, and then ask Xiao Shengzi to prepare a few light side dishes for dinner, preferably a bowl of refreshing noodles over the water." ”

"Master, dinner is already ready in the kitchen, and it's convenient to make noodles, so it's better for you to take a bath after dinner, otherwise I'm afraid it's not good for your health." Shilan, who had not made a sound all afternoon, spoke suddenly, her voice was still a little hoarse, and she came to the side of the bed with quick movements, and while stuffing the soft pillow on the top of the bed behind Erfu's waist, so that Erfu could lean on the head of the bed more comfortably to wake up, she reminded with a smile.

With Shilan's help, Erfu adjusted her posture with difficulty, leaning lazily on the edge of the bedpost, touching her rumbling stomach with one hand, and agreeing with Shilan's suggestion with a smile, "Then let Xiaoshengzi hurry up and prepare noodles, when you don't say it, I don't feel hungry, when you say this, I seem to remember that I haven't eaten properly for almost a day." After speaking, she didn't forget to urge Shilan to take the box containing candied dried fruits and other snacks, and pinch the honey peanuts to cushion her stomach.

Sitting on the edge of the bed and eating snacks, Erfu felt that her body and bones were a lot easier, and she didn't want to stay on the bed all the time, so she handed the box in her arms back to Shilan's hand, and got out of bed with her shoes on her own, holding her still a somewhat stiff waist with one hand, and slowly turning around the room with her steps, until her body and bones were completely moved, and Xiaoshengzi also came to deliver food with a food box.

Erfu doesn't like to pay attention to pomp, and the food prepared by Xiaoshengzi, who knows Erfu's character, is naturally relatively simple, two refreshing side dishes and two dishes cut into thin strips, with a small jar of meat-scented meat sauce and a small pot of fine noodles soaked in mountain spring water, and there is no need to set a table in the hall, she lazily beckoned to Xiaoshengzi, and greeted softly: "Thank you for your hard work, all the way from the Fourth Master's Mansion to the Old Summer Palace to serve, you can't be idle at all, hurry up and sit down and rest for a while, and leave the work of setting the meal to Shilan in charge." ”

Although Erfu said this, Xiao Shengzi still took over the work of picking noodles, which required a lot of skill, and he replied with a smile while picking noodles with long chopsticks: "Master, the slave does not feel tired. As he spoke, a bowl of crystal clear noodles had landed firmly in the blue and white twig-patterned sea bowl, and he skillfully put the dishes away, and then handed the big sea bowl to Shilan, and then Shilan sent it to Erfu, he sat on the embroidery pier next to him, and then added, "Although it is already summer, the weather is still a little cool in the morning and evening, so the slave did not make the noodles too cold, so as not to make the master feel uncomfortable after eating." ”

Although the distance between the dining room of the Old Summer Palace and the Changchun Immortal Pavilion is not far, if the noodles are really soaked in the cold mountain spring water for too long, the noodles sent over will not be warm at all, and they will not be very delicious.

Erfu touched the sea bowl that was still a little warm, and said with a slight smile: "It's better for you to be careful, otherwise it is estimated that this bowl of noodles will be wasted, I am very picky!" After speaking, she smiled and asked Shilan to give the box she had just eaten to Xiaoshengzi.

Don't look at the dried fruits and snacks in this box, all of them have been eaten by Erfu, Xiaoshengzi, as the chef of the main courtyard, is not short of this food, but the customs of this era are like this, and it is a very uplifting thing to be rewarded by the master, so Erfu also followed the local customs, and did not let Shilan reward Xiaoshengzi with broken silver.

It's definitely not that she's stingy, but that she really treats Xiaoshengzi as her own.

In addition, she didn't forget to explain a few words, "This is not as good in the Old Summer Palace as when it was in the house, the kitchens are all mixed together, so I want you to be more vigilant, lest someone take the opportunity to do something in the food, especially on Hongxuan's side, the people in front of the child are all newly deployed, and you should pay special attention." ”

"Don't worry, the master understands, and he will be very careful.

In the future, when you are on this side of the garden, you and the three little masters will take care of the food and then send them to the masters with your own hands. Xiao Shengzi also understood Erfu's worries, and smiled and patted his chest to reassure.

"Even so, it will be hard for you, but you don't have to send it separately in the future.

When it's time for dinner, I'll call Xiao Qi and Hongxuan over to use it together, and at noon, you don't need to care about the food in Shenliu Reading Hall, the little brother in the house is over there, and the kitchen in front of you is open, so you can have less trouble. Erfu smiled and nodded, but she also knew that Xiaoshengzi had no doppelganger, although Xiao Qi and Hongxuan's residence was next to his own courtyard, but Erfu didn't want him to be too tired, so he added a few words, so as not to get Xiaoshengzi busy by himself, and finally tired his body.

"The slave understood, so the servant went back to the kitchen to prepare a small snack for supper first, so as not to delay your meal, master. Xiao Shengzi smiled and nodded, then noticed that the noodles in Erfu's bowl had not moved for a long time, took the initiative to say goodbye, and bowed down and withdrew from the Changchun Immortal Pavilion.

Erfu saw Xiaoshengzi go out, looked down at the noodles in the bowl, and found that the noodles had been put for a long time, and had become a big lump, but fortunately, when Xiaoshengzi picked up the noodles, he specially sprinkled a few drops of sesame oil into it, so he simply mixed it, and then returned to the appearance that he had just put in the bowl.

As for the bowl of noodles, it was taken back into the food box at the door.
