Chapter 774: Curiosity Kills Cats
Chapter 774
The moonlight of practice sets off the lake water as a silver white. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
By the lake, next to the pine forest, Chen Fu had already led the palace people to arrange a picnic site, the red orangutan felt carpet, the exotic dome tent, the bamboo pergola for sheltering from the wind, with the crackling and burning bonfire not far away, and the smell of meat wafting in the wind, it was really like being in an endless grassland.
"I'll leave it to our family to serve, so you all go down. Zhang Bao took the first step to the lake, looked at the picnic site that had been arranged, flicked his sleeves, raised his voice to call the little boy who was busy barbecuing by the bonfire, and commanded loudly.
When Xiao Shengzi heard this, he was slightly stunned, then nodded, turned around and whispered a few words to Yaoqin, who was known as Liu, and then led a few cooks from the small kitchen back to the house from the corner gate.
He is a smart man, although he is curious about what the master is so mysterious for, but he understands what to ask and what not to ask when he is in the house, but this person always has a curiosity, some people can control their own curiosity, and some people can't control their own curiosity.
But this time, among the cooks who came to the village with Erfu, there was a particularly curious person.
She looked at the Liu family, who was left alone in front of the bonfire, and was jealous that the Liu family could show her face in front of the masters of Erfu and the fourth master, and was curious about what the master was so mysterious for, she quietly followed the little shengzi back to the house, and as soon as she turned around, she secretly moved a ladder from the small low room piled up with firewood and other sundries, and put it on the wall of the sandwich road behind the wing room, tiptoeing to the wall, and peeking at the family of four gathered by the lake by the bright and hot bonfire.
The cook Huo is an old man who is a small kitchen helper.
Although she usually walks around in the small kitchen, she doesn't often see the master of the house, but in the end she has met with Hongxuan, the little brother, she looked at the tanned and stronger Hongxuan, and always felt as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while, she scratched the back of her head with her backhand, and murmured: "This person looks a little familiar!"
Just when she frowned and meditated, the little shengzi who had just washed up noticed the shadow lying on the wall, he touched the door bolt at the root of the wall, tiptoed to the back of the wing, stretched out his feet against the ladder on the wall, and the angular door bolt in his hand slammed into Huo's body without a head, and at the same time burst out with a cold shout: "Who is so unruly!"
Huo Shi was suddenly attacked, and her feet slipped and rolled down the ladder to the ground, she hurriedly reached out to hold her head, and while dodging the deadbolt from Xiaoshengzi's shop, she whispered: "Oops, oops...... Father-in-law, what kind of trouble are you doing!"
"Where am I making trouble, what are you making trouble?" Xiao Shengzi stopped and asked in a cold voice angrily, if he hadn't thought that Huo's people had been in the mansion for many years, and his behavior was still his duty, he would have called someone to come and tie her up now, don't look at him, he doesn't know why the master is mysterious, but he understands that the master definitely doesn't want people to peek, and Huo's approach has already broken his duty to be a slave.
Huo's is also a smart person, she knows that if she doesn't find a suitable excuse to fool the past in this matter, then she won't say that she will lose her life, but this errand is going to be saved, she rolled her eyes, cried with a sad face, and sighed: "Oh, my father-in-law, you really misunderstood the slave maid, are the slaves and maids those who don't understand the rules, in the house all these years, when are they not following the rules, this is not the handkerchief that the two days ago when the handkerchief that he went out to buy was swept out by the wind, and he was distressed, wondering whether to go out and pick it up!"
Xiao Shengzi nodded suspiciously, ignored Huo's anymore, and turned his head and walked out.
Just when Huo Shi thought she was fooling the past, Xiao Shengzi turned around suddenly, picked up the deadbolt and smashed it on her head, Huo Shi fainted in a daze Before falling to the ground, there was only one thought in his heart, that is, these dead eunuchs are really ruthless, and the big guys have been on an errand for several years.
"Phew, what the hell, these words that can't even be deceived by children, I'm embarrassed to say it!" Xiao Shengzi spat with disgust in his eyes, untied his belt in three or two times, tied Huo's backhand to a strong knot, turned around and went to the wing room to find Qing Dai to get an idea.
It's just a pity that Qingdai followed Erfu to the lake for a picnic.
Xiao Shengzi pounced, had to return to Huo's side, he twisted his eyebrows and looked at Huo's fainting, reached out in his sleeve and took out a plain white handkerchief, blocked Huo's mouth, took out the posture of carrying pork, fought with his arms, carried Huo's shoulders, and moved back to his own room, thinking about waiting for Erfu to come back, and then returning the matter of Huo's peeping on the wall, when Erfu disposes of Huo's, it doesn't matter to him.
He waited for most of the night.
The moon above her head is like a mirror, and there are bursts of laughter in her ears, Erfu, who hasn't seen Hongxuan for a long time, how can she easily let Hongxuan leave, her hands are like growing on Hongxuan's body, even when she eats, she eats with one hand, and the other hand keeps grabbing Hongxuan who is sitting next to her, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, even the fourth master and Xiaoqi are jealous when they sit next to them.
It wasn't until the sound of the third watch sounded in the village that the fourth master took the lead and brought Erfu back.
"Your body is different now, you can't stay up all night like this. Back in the room, the fourth master looked at Erfu, who was sulking with frowning eyebrows, beckoning the girl to fetch hot water for Erfu to wash, and softly comforted.
Erfu also knew that the fourth master was for her good, but when she thought that Hongxuan would leave Beijing again in two days, her heart hurt like a knife, and she naturally lost a good face to the fourth master, she frowned, and sighed: "It's rare to see the child, but just talk for a while, you are so sideways." β
"Tomorrow, tomorrow, you can't see Hongxuan. The fourth master said with a smile.
When Erfu heard this, she rolled her eyes angrily, sighed, and said, "Huh......
Even if it's tomorrow and the future, Hongxuan can always accompany me, but it's only these two days, when the time comes, he still has to leave, tell me why you're so ruthless as an Amma, how old a child Hongxuan is, you just let him leave me, he's cold or hungry when he's alone outside, and no one can take care of him, I feel uncomfortable thinking about it!" After speaking, she turned around and walked out, she knew that she could see Hongxuan here, and she could also prepare more food and clothing for Hongxuan to take back, it was all the fourth master who had to play some surprises, this thing is something that can make a surprise, she really doesn't want to see the fourth master today.
The fourth master quickly followed Erfu, who was walking out, and whispered, "Don't be angry."
Although Hongxuan is not in the house, there is no shortage of people around him.
You also heard Hongxuan say that the old man of the emperor specially selected a reliable grandmother to serve from those people left by his ancestors, and also arranged a secret guard to accompany him to protect him, and there are great Confucian celebrities around him to teach, you should be happy for him.
You must know that among these imperial grandchildren of the Hongzi generation, only our Hongxuan is so valued by the emperor's old man!" After speaking, he stopped Erfu, who had already walked to the corridor, back to the room, this autumn day was even more exposed, Erfu was pregnant, he couldn't let her have such a little temper, if she really hurt her body, it would be really troublesome.
was valued by the emperor, she should be proud of Hongxuan.
As a mother, Erfu hopes that the children can be safe and smooth, she is reluctant to Hongxuan to leave her side, but she also understands that it is a helpless choice, she can make trouble with the fourth master, that is also because she knows that the fourth master spoils her and is willing to tolerate her little temper, but if she makes too much trouble, it really hurts the relationship between her and the fourth master.
If it was before, she mistakenly thought that the children were all harmed by the Wulanala clan, but the fourth master was indifferent, she naturally didn't care about the fourth master's opinion of her at that time, but now, she hopes that she and the fourth master are well, so as not to let Hongxuan be frightened outside for her as a mother, she can't hold up a piece of the sky for the child, she can only hope that she won't cause trouble to the child.
Noticing the sadness in Erfu's eyes, the fourth master's heart softened, and he told Erfu about the things he had discussed with the emperor's old man before, "Wait a little longer, in two years, the master will take Hongxuan back." β
"Really?" said Erph, with a happy face on her face, and asked in a low voice.
The corners of the fourth master's mouth raised slightly, reached out and grabbed Erfu's soft waist, looked at Erfu's slightly reddened cheeks, gently dropped a kiss, and said softly: "When did the master deceive you, don't worry, Hongxuan is not only your child, he is also the child, you are reluctant for him to suffer outside alone, and the master is naturally reluctant, but the young eagle wants to spread its wings and soar into the sky, and it will always have to suffer some hardships. β
"I understand what you said, but I just can't bear it. β
"If you can't give it, you have to give it.
You can't keep Hongxuan by your side forever, he will leave you one day, you will be moved to the front yard by the lord to live, write to him when you think of him, and get through it. β
"It's easy for you to say, but the mother of the child is worried, not to mention that he is so big. β
"Master also knows that you are reluctant, but you are so sad, do you say that Hongxuan can feel at ease outside!"
"I know, I'll try my best. "What the fourth master said, Erfu naturally understood, but reluctance is reluctance, and concern does not mean that it can be cut off, but in order for Hongxuan to travel outside with confidence, even if she pretends, she will pretend to be free and easy, just like when she went to study in other places and reported good news to her family.
Successfully appeased Erfu, who was in a stirring mood, and the fourth master secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked Erfu to meet Hongxuan this time, which was actually a risky move.
He was really afraid that Erfu would not let Hongxuan leave anything, and insisted on taking Hongxuan back to the mansion, in that case, he really didn't know what to do, but fortunately, although Erfu was reluctant to Hongxuan, he also understood the priorities, don't look at this moment to complain to him, complain that he is ruthless, but he has always been very careful to hide Hongxuan's whereabouts, and did not make the actions that he was worried about.
It wasn't early, and there was a hint of fish belly white on the horizon.
The fourth master took the cold fetal pills on the corner table, waited for Erfu to drink it with his own hands, turned his head and beckoned the girl to send hot water in, and said softly to Erfu who showed bitterness: "You rest first, and you will accompany the child to fish in the afternoon!" After speaking, he put Erfu's leg on the side of the bed back into the quilt, and carefully helped Erfu to lie down, and then turned around and went into the clean room to wash.
There was a bang, a sound of water......
The fourth master wiped his face briefly, just in the faint light by the window, changed into a neat bedclothes, and just about to rest, he saw Qing Dai tiptoe into the room, if there was no important matter, this girl would not come over here.
Thinking like this, the fourth master unconsciously frowned.
He glanced at Qing Dai, turned his head to look at Erf, who was snoring faintly on the bed, stepped outside the room, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Qing Dai saw the impatience of the fourth master, and she was not verbose, and said the news sent by the little son in a few words, "The father-in-law came to report, saying that the cook who served in the kitchen, Huo Shi, had been lying on the wall at night to peep, and now although he has been tied up by the father-in-law, he still wants to ask the master to give him an idea." β
When the fourth master heard this, his eyebrows twisted, and he looked back at the direction of the inner room, and saw that Erfu was sleeping quite peacefully, so he put down his heart, beckoned to Qingdai, motioned for her to come up with his ear, and lowered his voice with laughter and commanded: "This matter, you still need to take the side Fujin to take the idea, you take the right cards, run to the front yard, and let Chen Fu lead the people over."
It's dark and slippery, and there are those who have bad eyes, and there is no fence by the lake, so if you don't pay attention to falling into it, it's really not an accident, but there is one thing to tell Chen Fu, Ye and Fang Fujin are going to the lake to fish in the afternoon, but they don't want to see anything bad, let him deal with it cleanly. After speaking, he waved his hand impatiently, urging Qingdai to hurry up and do it, and turned around to rest in the inner room.
In this matter, I don't blame the fourth master for being ruthless, he is just acting carefully.
Hongxuan is alone, it is already thrilling, if someone else knows the news that he is alive, and then finds that the people arranged by the emperor who followed him, the brothers who stared at the dragon chair of the fourth master, must not eat Hongxuan alive, for the safety of Hongxuan, the fourth master would really rather kill a thousand people by mistake, than miss one, Huo's was also killed by his own curiosity and jealousy, fortunately, he fell into the water by accident, according to Erfu's compassion for the people under his hands, he will definitely give her the first sum of money in her family to appease itγ
"Huh......" Thinking like this, the fourth master sighed.
Erf, who hadn't been sleeping too deeply, heard the movement, opened her eyes in a daze, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The fourth master smiled and tucked the corners of the quilt for Erfu, and replied softly: "It's okay, go to bed quickly, it's not early, it's almost dawn." β
