Chapter One Thousand and Seventy
It's another day, please salute.
Erfu watched the girls go away, waved his hand, and sent all the servants who were waiting in the hall out, and then his face was full of frustration.
Although she always persuaded herself in her heart that she didn't have to take the picturesque women in the backyard too seriously, the relationship between herself and the fourth master was firm, and she was accompanied by her children around her knees, she was definitely a happier woman in this era, but she heard those women pretending to be shy, showing off the fourth master's love for them, she couldn't calm down in her heart, sourness, jealousy, disgust and other negative emotions filled her heart, so that she hated to tear these women apart immediately, just like at this time.
Call......
Erfu looked at the empty hall in front of her, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, forcibly suppressing the complicated taste in her heart......
"Find out the pair of plain silver sapphire carved longevity peace locks that the fourth master gave to Hongxuan before, and send them to the Wulanala pearl and the Wulanala Mei'er respectively!" Erfu, who had a smile on her face again, stepped under the porch and whispered to Shilan who greeted her.
With that, she turned and walked to the small garden at the back of the main courtyard.
The autumn wind is blowing, and the leaves are fluttering......
Erf, dressed in a thin robe, walked to the tree covered with dead leaves, stopped, and looked up at the blue sky that was blocked by the high wall.
Once upon a time, she decided to keep her heart and only be a rice worm for eating, drinking and having fun in the backyard of the fourth master's mansion;
Once upon a time, she decided to accompany him and only be a favorite concubine who didn't listen to anything outside the window;
Once upon a time, she decided to take care of the backyard chores for him and not let him be distracted by the chores of the back house.
Erph sat down against the trunk of the tree behind her, wrapped her hands around her curled legs, quietly recalled the past, and secretly sighed: "I am really a fickle woman. ”
It's just that she found that there was a mustard in her heart that had always existed.
- That is, no matter when or where she is, she doesn't mind the fact that there are too many women in the fourth master's backyard.
"These ignorant and arrogant men, these men who are greedy for the new and forget the old, they think that three wives and four concubines are the norm, why don't they think about whether these women who are three wives and four concubines are willing to share with others, not to mention anything else, just say that the children in the houses are lost in the jealousy of the wind, why don't these men know how to reflect, is it really that beauty is more important than children!" Erfu sat under the tree, muttering and complaining, because it was in her own courtyard, and there was no one else to serve her, she spoke without scruples, but she didn't expect to be heard clearly by Hongxuan, who happened to come to greet her.
Although Hongxuan has always known that his mother's heart has grievances, but his own mother is always smiling, his son who is as careful as a hair ignores it, and he didn't expect that behind his mother's smiling face, there is a side of hiding in no one and crying.
Hongxuan didn't walk over to disturb the lonely space where Erfu licked her wounds, but turned back to the front yard.
He has no power or soldiers, he is just a stupid student who is still studying hard with his master, he can only earn more face for Erfu by studying harder, but he still sent a message to his own Amma, who was buried in government affairs in his study.
In the study, the fourth master, who had been discussing government affairs with his staff since the dawn of the day, received the news, was slightly stunned, and hooked his lips and smiled.
He patiently discussed with his staff for a while, dealt with the newspaper at hand, raised his hand and said, "Okay, a few gentlemen should also have some snacks, and order some food in the kitchen." With that, he stretched out as if he were tired, got up and walked out.
This time, the fourth master naturally went to the backyard to coax Erfu, who was making trouble.
In fact, he has always been dispensable for other women in the backyard, even the things between the beds, but also the attitude of coping with errands, firstly, he has a gully in his heart, and he puts too much energy into the affairs of the DPRK and China, and does not have so much interest in the affairs of men and women, and secondly, he has Erf, a special woman in his heart, this woman who gave him family warmth, has become the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in his heart, as long as he thinks of Erfuliu's frowning slightly and his face full of sadness, he will feel extremely distressed.
In the small garden, the fourth master also saw the bitter appearance of Erfu sitting under the tree and complaining.
Unlike Hongxuan, who saw this scene and chose to turn around and leave, the fourth master greeted the still warm autumn light, walked to Erfu's side, stretched out his hand and pulled Erfu who was sitting under the tree, and gently dusted off the robe for her, while asking with a smile: "There are so many grievances in my heart, why don't you tell the master?"
"What did you say?" said Erf, stunned.
She really didn't expect to see the fourth master in such a strange situation, as soon as she thought that the fourth master actually heard her own rebellious words, she committed the common feelings of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, where are there other women who are idle and jealous, and the whole person is shrinking into a ball.
Seeing this, the fourth master smiled and patted Erfu's head, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, you and I are husband and wife." ”
Erfu, who was shocked by the fourth master's too hearty smile, responded with some white eyes: "Husband and wife, hehehehe......"
"Fool. The fourth master pulled Erfu to the upper room, and said as he walked.
And Erfu, who was in a state of dizziness, heard that the whole person was stupid, which showed her natural nature even more, and she didn't take the opportunity to tell the women in the backyard who were blocking herself, and followed the footsteps of the fourth master step by step, and when the two of them returned to the upper room to sit down, she had forgotten the grievances and troubles hidden in her heart, and showed a smile without any guilt.
But she forgot, but the fourth master did not forget this stubble, he waved his hand and withdrew the servant who was waiting in the room, and asked in a low voice, "Are those women in the backyard restless and causing you trouble again?"
"Fortunately, I can handle these trivial things. Hearing this, Erf smiled and shook her head in denial.
As long as Erfu is not particularly depressed, as long as Erfu is not particularly aggrieved in her heart, in fact, she is not willing to reveal her true thoughts, after all, in this era, unless she is a family with four walls, The poor people who live in poverty, even if they are small businesses, are accompanied by beautiful wives and concubines at home, not to mention the fourth master, who is a noble person, her ideas are too whimsical, and too rebellious and absurd, think about the judgment of the fourth master on the old eight blessings in history, it is obvious that the fourth master is against the beautiful state of one life and one person in his bones, so she can only endure it and suppress all the grievances in her heart, otherwise......
When the fourth master and her relationship are determined, they treat her as a treasure in their hands, even if she turns into a shrew, she still feels cute and delicate, if this love is not there......
Hehe, Erfu, who had returned to his senses, carefully peeked at the expression of the fourth master, and shook his head silently in his heart.
The fourth master looked at Erfu's cautious face, and felt even more pity, raised his hand to take her into his arms, rubbed her back as if he was a kitten, put his chin on Erfu's shoulder, and said with emotion in a low voice: "You are too docile and kind, and you think about those women who don't make people worry, but I didn't think that those women have long regarded you as a mortal enemy, but fortunately, I know you, and I know that you have a quiet and gentle personality, otherwise you would not have been eaten alive!"
"You believe me, and I believe you, this is husband and wife. Erfu hugged the waist of the fourth master and said with a smile.
"I'm in a better mood, then the master is going back to the front yard to deal with government affairs, you also know that the emperor is sick now, and the lord has to take on the burden of government affairs in the court, and I really can't spare much time to accompany you in the backyard. The fourth master patted Erfu's back, let go of the arm holding Erfu's waist, and let Erfu sit up straight again, facing each other solemnly.
"I understand, go get busy, I'm fine here. Erph smiled and nodded.
After speaking, she stood up first, personally tidied up the subtle folds on the robe for the fourth master, and staged a play of eighteen send-off with the fourth master and the fourth master in front of the servants in the courtyard, and then returned to the upper room with a smile on the corner of her mouth and a sweet face.
She cheered up again, waved her big hand, and rewarded the women in each courtyard with a few brocades recently sent by Jiangnan, and even the palace people in her own courtyard received silver horns ranging from ten taels to three taels, and she didn't know how the women in the backyard who suddenly received the reward were in their mood, but the servants in her own courtyard were all beaming, which also made her mood a little happier.
Erfu smiled and instructed Shilan to find the red embroidery thread and the carved jade pendant, the movements were skillful, the fingers were like wearing flowers, dancing quickly, and a pair of concentric knots inlaid with mandarin ducks and exquisite pendants were woven with a cup of tea.
The mutton fat jade pendant of the hollow carved sika deer is more delicate and soft white against the backdrop of the concentric knot.
Two jade pendants, one carved squatting sika deer, one carved sika deer's spanning posture, surrounded by branches and leaves entangled, lined with thick and round pulp, decorated with droplet-shaped pearls to make falling horns, the shape is unique and exquisite, Erfu held it in his hand for a moment, called Zhao Dezhu in, and after a few words, he handed one of the jade pendants carved with sika deer galloping to Zhao Dezhu's hand, and commanded softly: "You go to the small kitchen to get a few snacks, and send one to the fourth master!"
After speaking, she lowered her head and hung another jade pendant on the robe as a placket, specially left a few points longer on the red line tassel, decorated with several drop-shaped pearl pendants, with her movements, there was a pleasant collision sound, she gently adjusted the angle of the jade pendant, hooked her lips and smiled, and directly ordered Shilan to set up a meal in the hall.
It's about the same time, and it's time for lunch.
In the study in the front yard, the fourth master, who received a love gift from Erfu, only ate a piece of sweet and soft chestnut cake, and distributed the other snacks to the other staff members to eat, and he himself beckoned Zhao Dezhu and Su Peisheng and others to follow, and went straight to the main courtyard, and ate with Erfu in a good mood.
The lunch in the main courtyard is the same as usual, light and delicious, revealing a homely casual feeling.
The fourth master raised his eyes and looked at the jade pendant hanging on the placket of Erfu, and then looked at the same jade pendant hanging down from the hem of his robe, and used two bowls of rice in a good mood, put aside the chopsticks, and refused to give up, and accompanied Erfu with two wraps, which allowed the servant to remove the leftovers on the table and take Erfu to the yard for a walk.
The autumn breeze is bleak, and the leaves are falling, but the two of them are smiling as if they are in the fairyland of Yaochi.
It's just that there are always some things that destroy the beautiful scenery, such as at this time, the fourth master pulled Erfu to sit down in the gazebo, and before the palace maid served hot tea, he couldn't wait to ask about the things she was hiding in the small garden in the morning and complaining, look at his serious and serious expression, Erfu knew that if she didn't say it, the fourth master who could think of it didn't know what he would think, so she paused for a while, and then told the story of what happened in the morning to invite Anli.
Finally, she didn't forget to add: "It's just a jealousy between women." ”
"No one understands their duties. ”
After hearing this, the fourth master showed a little annoyance on his face, and complained casually, just when Erfu thought that the fourth master had left this matter behind, he raised his hand and beckoned Su Peisheng, who was waiting to be sent by the door of the moon cave, and commanded in a cold voice: "The order of the master, the birthday of the mother in the palace is approaching, in order to show filial piety, order all the daughters in the backyard to embroider the longevity map and copy the filial piety scripture for the mother, and prepare a pair of congratulatory gifts and five blessings to hold the longevity picture embroidery screen and a hundred birds to welcome the spring picture, the best is the kind of large embroidered screen used as the screen at the entrance of the palace, and send it to the palace to celebrate the birthday of the mother." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Erfu with a smile and teased softly: "I don't know if the master's fortune can be completed!"
"Could it be that the concubine is no exception?" Hearing this, Erfu was tired of the fourth master's arms with a smile on her face, and said coquettishly.
Seeing that Erfu was so coquettish and petted, the fourth master nodded excitedly and quipped in a low voice: "As long as you are well-behaved." ”
"How can you be well-behaved?" said in a soft voice as Erfray was in his arms, drawing circles with her fingers in front of him, blushing with shyness.
"You know!" said the fourth master.
Sitting on the knee of the fourth master, holding the neck of the fourth master, Erfu tilted his head to look at the fourth master's face with a serious and cold face, quickly adjusted his posture, avoided the position he had raised, turned his head with a shy face, pretended not to notice it, coughed lightly twice, and said seriously: "The concubine body does not understand, please make it clear to the master, otherwise if the concubine body misunderstands the meaning of the master, wouldn't it be beautiful!"
"It turns out that the master's fortune can't communicate with the master!" The fourth master imprisoned Erfu's slender waist with his big hand, raised the one she had just avoided, and stuffed it back under her, through the robe, pressed down fiercely, and deliberately lowered his voice to tease.
He wouldn't say that he just liked to look at Erfu's cheeks flushed, but he ignored that there were servants beside him and Erfu, and when he found out, the palace maids next to him were all flushed and bowed their heads.
"You're bad!" Erph noticed, and cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth.
