Chapter 569

Unlike Erfu, the fourth master likes to read books and savor them slowly.

Regardless of the type, even if it is a book to pass the time in Erfu's room, he can also take out the posture of reading the works of Confucianism, pick out the words word by word, and at the same time take out the unreasonable plot in the book and complain to Erfu, the fourth master at that time was like a chatter, I really can't see that he is resolute and resolute when dealing with political affairs on weekdays.

Su Peisheng understood the habit of his master, so he glanced at the palace maid next to him, signaling that the fourth master wanted to take this book away, so he bowed forward and took the travelogue book handed to him by the fourth master, and at the same time pulled out a hollow gold leaf from his purse with one hand, intending to use it as a bookmark for the time being.

Na Cheng thought, before the gold leaf was caught in the book, he missed.

Seeing the brand-new travelogue book, like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, it fell to the ground with a clatter.

"The master forgives the sin, and the slave misses. Su Peisheng cried and mourned, and hurriedly knelt on the ground begging for mercy, and at the same time reached out and picked up the travelogue booklet, and carefully wiped it with his sleeve, as if he was holding some treasure, carefully sorting out the pages of the scroll.

The fourth master didn't care, waved his hand casually, and let Su Peisheng get up.

It's not that the fourth master is generous, or he is compassionate to his subordinates, but although he likes to read travelogue booklets, but this kind of obvious is a pitiful road goods everywhere in Liulichang, he doesn't care very much, not to mention that Su Peisheng just crumpled the book cover and pages, even if Su Peisheng disappeared this travelogue booklet, he wouldn't take it to heart, at most let Su Peisheng use his spare time to go to the street to find a copy.

However, the travelogue booklet was wrinkled, and it was something in Li's room, for the fourth master who had a slight cleanliness habit, he didn't want to start flipping through it a second time, so he didn't let Su Peisheng take it anymore, and ordered lightly: "Write down the title of the book, and in a few days, you will go outside to look for it when you take a break!"

Su Peisheng did not dare to slack off on the fourth master's instructions, and carefully copied the title of the book and the author's name, and after noting down the name of the bookstore that was printed, he handed the booklet called "Mobei Scenery Record" back to the palace maid and motioned her to put it back on the bookshelf.

And the fourth master, who was sitting on the Luohan bed in the second room, was idle again.

Waiting a little impatiently, he reached out and took out the gilt pocket watch with hollow carved grain pattern from the placket, looked at the hour hand that had pointed to the Roman numeral three, and then looked up at the sun slanting in the west outside the window, twisted his eyebrows and said, "When did your master leave the house?"

"Back to the master's words, the master went out in the morning. The little palace maid didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly bowed down and replied.

As soon as the little palace maid's voice fell, before the fourth master could speak again, she heard the sound of Li Fangfujin returning to the house outside the door, and the little palace maid only felt that a big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground, and she was relieved.

It's just that apparently she was rejoicing too soon.

The fourth master had a dark face, straightened the hem of his robe with some folds, got up and came to the hall to sit down, put on the posture of the three halls of trial, sat up straight, and opened his mouth without waiting for Li's two feet to enter the door of the upper room, "Li, you are really idle." ”

"The concubine has seen the fourth master, and the fourth master is auspicious. The Li family, who was not mentally prepared, met the black face of the fourth master, and his heart was a little weak, looking around left and right, and he didn't see Roulan's figure, and he was even more uneasy, but fortunately, she was still a bit strategic, but she didn't show the slightest panic, but by bending her knees to salute the fourth master, she lowered her head and covered up the uneasiness that flashed in her eyes.

When the fourth master heard this, he smiled faintly, pointed to the empty position on his side, and said, "Sit down and talk!"

Li raised his eyebrows slightly, peeked at the fourth master, and saw that the fourth master was not angry, nor did he show any dissatisfaction, everything was as cold and indifferent as before, Li was relieved, but he still did not relax his guard, and he bowed in a proper manner, and said, "Thank you Fourth Master." ”

After speaking, she stepped on the lotus step and came to the position beside the fourth master and sat down.

As the Li family slowly approached, the fourth master smelled a faint scent of sandalwood, and saw the position of her skirt, a little wrinkled, and the embroidered shoes were also stained with some soil, so he roughly guessed where the Li family went out of the mansion, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little, "The master is idle during the day today, and he doesn't have to go to the six departments to sit in the hall, so he came to see you and Mo Yaqi, how to think, you are not in the mansion, but it is unfortunate!"

Seeing that Mo Yaqi's body has not been good, the concubine is really worried, and she is also anxious, and she thinks that the imperial doctor's medical skills are good, and the medicinal materials used are also the best, but Mo Yaqi's body has not been good, and she secretly calculated whether Mo Yaqi had collided with something, so she kept lingering on the sickbed, so she went to the temple to pray for peace for her, and begged the monk to recite a few volumes of scriptures and add some incense money, which was delayed outside for a long time. As he spoke, Li took out a string of rosewood carved with six-character mantras from his sleeve and held a rosary, handed it to the glass that left the house with her, and told her to send it to Mo Yaqi as soon as possible, saying that it was to keep her safe and healthy.

"You're going back and forth, I'm afraid you're tired, I shouldn't have delayed your rest, but there is a sentence, I still have to talk to you. The anger in the fourth master's stomach dissipated to the point that only one-third was left, although it was not good to scare at the Li family who had just left the mansion for Mo Yaqi's peace and Kangtai, so he could only secretly suppress it, but he didn't forget the business, he was slightly stunned, pursed his lips, and said lightly, "Mo Yaqi, this kid is a soft character when he is young, and he has not been in the house for such a long time, and some servants and servants in the house who are above the top of the house, I am afraid that they have forgotten that there is such a serious master in the house."

Today, when the master passed, he happened to see the willow branch beside her, and actually held a bowl of hot decoction for her to drink, in order to let others learn to be obedient, so as not to despise the master of the house, the master sent her away, which can be regarded as killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

It's just that later, the master knew that this willow branch was the person next to you, so he came over and talked to him, so as not to misunderstand Mo Yaqi. ”

After speaking, he beckoned Su Peisheng to step forward and handed the confession prepared by Chen Fu to the Li family, lest the Li family think that he was using the topic to play, and lest the Li family be jealous of Mo Yaqi's somewhat confused stupid girl.

Liu Zhi can be regarded as one of the supporters of the Li family when he was Gege, although he was on the errand of the second-class palace maid and led the monthly money of the second-class palace maid, in fact, his status in the Li family's mind was higher than that of Liuli, and he suddenly heard the fourth master send the willow branch away so lightly, she really nested a wave of evil fire, but seeing the confession prepared by the fourth master, and the faces of other palace people, she could only endure it.

"Such a slave who doesn't know how to advance or retreat is also the fourth master, you are kind, otherwise the concubine will definitely punish her. It is impossible for the left and right willow branches to return to her to serve, this left and right hand is decided, and the Li family is also happy to sell it well, and he said with a smile.

What did Li think in his heart, the fourth master was too lazy to care, and he didn't care about Li's thoughts, plus he was really a little tired of staying in this east courtyard, smelling the somewhat greasy pear blossom incense, he felt panicked, and he and Li had nothing to say, so they said a few more gossips, and cared about Li's daily life, so he used the excuse to go across the courtyard to see Mo Yaqi, and directly led Su Peisheng out of the upper room.

"The concubine will go with you and take a look!" Li didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't care that after she came back, she hadn't washed and changed her clothes, so she hurriedly got up and said.

In this regard, the fourth master waved his hand impatiently, he didn't want to be entangled by the Li family, so he led Su Peisheng away and hung the Li family on the spot.

Li didn't dare to show the slightest resentment, and had to thank the fourth master softly for showing compassion for her hard work all the way, holding on to a smiling face, and sending the fourth master to the moon cave gate that was also going to the courtyard, and as soon as he turned around, his face sank, and he said hatefully: "I didn't leave Roulan to take care of her in the house, where did she go, how could she make the fourth master drop the willow branches, she didn't even send a letter out!"

"Back to the master, Sister Roulan was also punished by the master, and now she is still locked up in the firewood room!" The little palace maid who had been serving in front of the fourth master before hurriedly walked two steps and came to the Li family, and replied in a low voice.

However, she didn't explain why the fourth master punished Roulan, but vaguely guided the Li family to think that Roulan was speaking for the willow branch, which was angered by the fourth master, which made the Li family feel a little more sorry for Roulan.

In the final analysis, this matter is also her negligence, which will make the fourth master come over to see an empty courtyard, if she didn't come back to go to the temple and ask for the string of incense in her hand prayer beads, I'm afraid that even she won't be able to please her.

"Let Roulan out first!" Li noticed just now, when the fourth master left, the two little eunuchs who came from the corner door of the backyard, when they heard the little palace maid say this, she didn't understand, she waved her hand a little weakly, beckoned Liuli to enter the room and wait for washing, and commanded softly.

Roulan, who was locked in the firewood room for a long time, was cold and afraid, and was helped out of the door of the firewood room by the little palace maid, standing in the sun, wearing a pale pink dark pattern satin palace maid dress, pleated and pleated, and the delicate makeup on her face, she was already crying, and she looked extremely embarrassed, but because of the face of the big palace maid, she still supported the two legs that were soft into noodles, first went to the room to thank her, and then went back to the room to wash up, and then returned to the upper room to serve.

The little palace maid took advantage of the time to bring water to the upper room, and reminded softly while people were unprepared, "Sister Roulan, don't say what you were punished for, otherwise I'm afraid that the master will be unhappy." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Speaking of which, Roulan is really kind, except for a little dealings with Jing Gege, she can be described as loyal to the Li family, and she never thought of hiding this matter from the Li family, so when she heard the little palace maid say this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in a low voice.

The little palace maid just wanted to get close to Roulan, and she wouldn't watch Roulan jump into the pit, but this was not the place to speak, so she could only say a few words as simply as possible, and then left the upper room with the empty copper kettle.

Roulan, who was woken up by the little palace maid, only then did she know how much of a mistake she had made.

Roulan, who was very afraid, hit a few spirits in a row, and took a few deep breaths, only then did she calm down, sorted out her words to deal with the Li family, stepped into the clean room, and helped Liuli.

The Li family went out of the house today, which can be said to have benefited a lot.

She first went to the Guanyin Temple, the most effective temple in Beijing to seek children, sent a large amount of sesame oil money, asked for a bowl of Fu water with many sons and many blessings, and by the way, she got a string of street vendors of yellow rosewood holding prayer beads, and went to the house of the goddess who saw the dragon and did not see the end, but helped many women who had not been pregnant for many years to ask for children, and won a home remedy with a lot of money, and finally went to the shop in the marriage of the Da Li family, took stock of the accounts of the last three months, and received a full three hundred taels of income, and then returned to the house with joy。

If it weren't for the fact that as soon as she came back, the fourth master poured a basin of cold water on her head, she could jump up happily now, half lying in the bath bucket filled with warm water and flower petals, enjoying the massage service of Roulan, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice: "Do you know why the fourth master came over suddenly, but what gossip did someone say in front of the fourth master?"

"The slave doesn't look like it, it should be the master who is worried about Ergege's body, and this is why he will come here, after all, Ergege will be sick as soon as he returns home, even if the master is not worried about it, he must be able to get by on face, otherwise it will not be easy to fool the concubine in the palace. Roulan thought that she was the only palace maid left in the mansion, so she was the first to say, just looking at her sworn appearance, the Li family really believed it a little.

However, Liuli raised objections, and with a somewhat embarrassed white face, she whispered: "The slave maid thinks otherwise, the master has not been in the house for a long time, so I don't know about the Li family and Ergege, at that time, Da Gege was not in good health, and Song Gege was an inconspicuous one. ”

"What do you mean by this?" Xiao Li didn't like to hear the news about the Big Li family the most, and she didn't want to hear the people around her mention anything before, so she glared and said without waiting for Liuli to finish speaking.

"Master, don't be impatient!

The slave and maid are saying that the master is still a little sincerely concerned about the treatment of Ergege.

Especially Ergege's entry into the palace is so long, after coming back, he has been much more well-behaved, and he has acted a lot more steadily, I think it has attracted the attention of the master, otherwise the master would not have specially sent down the willow branches you arranged in the past in order to support Ergege. Liuli shrank her neck as if she was timid, and said in a quick breath.

After speaking, Liuli's face turned red.

"You have a bit of truth in what you say, in the end, it is my own daughter, even if the fourth master doesn't care anymore, it is impossible to let the slave be scornful, I am just strange willow branch, she is a safe character, otherwise I would not have arranged her to stare at Mo Yaqi's girl, why did she commit the taboo of the fourth master, and she was actually sent directly to the Shen Criminal Division!" In the final analysis, what the Li family values is the fact that the willow branch was suddenly sent down by the fourth master, so she pulled the topic back with three crutches, her dark and bright eyes, and she kept muttering, and it took a while before she sighed and suppressed the matter.
