Chapter 271

Back in the west courtyard, Erfu didn't wait for the fourth master to come over, so he told the grandmother to lead Xiao Qi and Hongxuan, who couldn't open their eyes, to rest in the wing, and turned their heads and went into the clean room to take a bath to relieve fatigue.

"I love bathing and I have good skin...... Beware of bubbles, turtles fall ......"

Erfu hummed a tune that no one could hear clearly, her face was covered with a cotton cloth made of egg white mixed with pearl powder, and her brain was frantically swiping the screen as if it was equipped with an I7 processor, thinking about how to make up for her hard days of getting up early and not sleeping well in the dark for half a month.

"Let Xiao Shengzi prepare some egg dumplings and egg cakes and other snacks for tomorrow morning, then let him send some noodles over, remember to make the sauce with noodles spicy, cut more sauce and marinated pork or something, his knife skills are really amazing!" Erf suddenly rubbed his still hungry stomach and commanded softly.

Erfu didn't dare to open her mouth to speak, so her words were a little vague, and even her facial expressions were a little funny, but Yuhua responded as if she couldn't see it and hurriedly walked to the small kitchen in the backyard.

"Sister Yuhua, does the master want to eat egg noodles again?" Xiao Shengzi was busy behind the white case, looked at the big girl who entered the door, smiled and grabbed a handful of flour and sprinkled it on the board, and said loudly.

"You have figured out our master's appetite, and you are also asked to cut more sauced beef and sauced donkey meat to make cold dishes, and you can do the rest by yourself!

The master's end is inseparable, so I'll go over first, and I'll come back later!" Yuhua said and pinched a piece of freshly processed sauce beef and stuffed it into his mouth, and went back to the main room to wait for Erfu to wash.

About two quarters of an hour passed. Erfu changed into a brand-new bedclothes, wrapped in a cotton robe and sat on the hot window kang, patiently waiting for the fourth master in the front yard to come over to eat and sleep together.

"Master. Why don't you eat something first, and then let Xiao Shengzi do something else when the master comes over!" Yuhua looked at Erfu rubbing his stomach vigorously and looked out the window, reminding softly.

"Don't bother, I'm not too hungry, just wait!" Erph retracted his gaze and looked at Yuhua and the others, who were a little worried, with a look of "I'm not waiting for someone." I'm just not too hungry,' said indifferently.

After waiting for more than an hour, the fourth master still did not come. Even Su Peisheng didn't send a message here, and Erfu pulled up the long hair draped over her shoulders in some frustration, and ordered Yuhua to set the meal.

Leaning back on a dark green elastic satin cushion, Erf leaned sideways. Don't let people see the expression on her face at this time. Playing with the bloodstone seal carved by the fourth master himself, he guessed the whereabouts of the fourth master in his heart.

Xiao Shengzi had already prepared the egg noodles properly, and he could eat them as soon as the water boiled, and seeing that Yuhua's face was not very good, he walked into the kitchen, and hurriedly ordered the cook to come down, and turned around and came to him.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" asked Xiao Shengzi softly.

Yuhua waved his hand, too lazy to speak. He took the food box of the red pine crane on the side, and contained the side dishes on the table. Filled the warm shredded chicken soup on the stove again, and then took the small crockpot carried by the cook and was about to go to the main room, never looked up at Xiaoshengzi from beginning to end, until the moment he went out, he opened his mouth without a tail, "Prepare some useful sweet porridge tomorrow morning!"

"Hey!" Xiao Shengzi nodded understandingly, and the master of the secret path was not in a good mood.

As Yuhua expected, Erfu simply used a small bowl of noodles, then put aside his chopsticks, and held a book that I don't know who wrote it, and seemed to look at it with relish.

However, Yuhua and the others noticed that she hadn't flipped through the notebook since she picked it up, and she hadn't even noticed that she had taken it down.

It is said that the fourth master is not a seed of dedication like Emperor Shunzhi, and he will also walk around other rooms on weekdays.

What's more, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the fourth master went to the main courtyard to rest, which is also the rule of the ancestors, but looking at the appearance of Erfu's resentful woman, Yuhua and the others really can't figure it out.

Not only Yuhua and the others didn't understand, but even Erfu couldn't understand her own mood, she knew that this evil fire was very strange, but she just felt that the fourth master's reaction today was very abnormal, and she couldn't say anything abnormal, so she always felt that she was in a bad mood, and she didn't even want to say a word to cover up.

The sound of bangzi sounded, and the four masters' mansions were quiet up and down, except for the lanterns that were not extinguished all night under the corridors of each courtyard illuminating this side of the world, there was only a touch of white light in the warm pavilion of the upper room of the west courtyard.

It was the light of Erfu sitting in the tent playing with the night pearl, she had been lying down for a while, knowing that she was very sleepy, but Erfu just couldn't sleep, and she was bored, so she took out this night pearl given to her by the fourth master from under the pillow, and comforted her injured mood alone.

......

In the blink of an eye, the spring breeze full of vitality blew the green shoots of the treetops, the warm and warm sunshine, the shining people changed into heavy winter clothes, and wore brightly colored spring clothes on their bodies, but Erfu became more silent.

Since the end of the fifteenth palace banquet of the first lunar month, the fourth master has become more and more strange, often lost his mind and was stunned, and even called her wrong name several times, and even muttered a vague woman's name in his dreams - Ying Rong.

'Break off before the old man is old'

Erff looked at her still energetic face in the mirror, and couldn't help but think of this somewhat unlucky sentence, and finally all the feelings of sadness condensed into a light sigh, sullenly brushed the mirror, and turned around to pull the embroidery shelf next to the couch.

On the embroidery frame polished with good mahogany polishing, there is a picture of eight horses embroidered in Hunan Province, and only one horse body is about to be completed.

This is the first time she has embroidered such a large embroidery. She has been embroidering for four years, and the original embroidered horse leg has faded a little, which is a gift she is going to give to the fourth master this year, but at this time she feels a little dazzling.

Thinking of this, Erfu picked up a pair of gilt scissors from the basket used for use, and couldn't wait to cut this lifelike Hunan embroidery in two clicks.

After brewing a few times, every time the tip of the scissors touched the embroidery, she felt that her heart was dripping blood. In the end, she weakly dropped the scissors, and asked people to put the embroidery shelf aside, so as not to upset her by looking at it.

The eldest grandmother looked at Erf's little face, which was getting thinner. Hurriedly instructed people to put the plain muslin shading on the embroidery shelf into the warm pavilion, and then moved a small pestle by himself, sat in front of Erfu, and persuaded softly, relieving Erfu who looked like an abandoned woman.

What the eldest grandmother said, Erfu understood, and even told herself more than once. But when she smelled the smell of rouge from the fourth master's body that did not belong to the women in the house, she knew that the fourth master had a more important woman outside.

Just that's it. She couldn't say anything, she could only silently stuff it in her heart, which made her mood worse and worse.

With Erf's reluctant smile and the often sad look in her eyes, the eldest grandmother knew that what she had said had been in vain.

"The master rested first. The old slave is busy!" The eldest grandmother saw that Erf had no intention of speaking. I made an excuse and exited the main room, which looked a bit like running away.

Seeing the eldest grandmother leave, Erfu let out a long sigh, lazily looked at the beams painted with colorful paintings, and lay on the Luohan couch to think about his thoughts.

It was almost the time when the fourth master, who had been resting in front for a few days, came to the West Courtyard.

"The master doesn't seem to have slept well when he sees you, but those in charge are embarrassed for you!" the fourth master looked at Erfu's somewhat pale little face and asked with a smile.

Erf heard. Squeezed out an ugly smile and shook his head slightly. "Let the master worry, everything is fine with the concubine. ”

"That's good!" The fourth master noticed Erfu's faint sense of resistance, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't blame this woman he liked for giving birth to children for him and supporting all kinds of big and small things in the house, took a sip of tea, and said lightly.

The meals in the West Courtyard are still home-cooked tastes.

There are no elaborate radish flowers, no precious ingredients from the mountains and seas, and no unchanged palace taste, but with Erfu's fake smiling face that a blind man can see, the fourth master can't eat it.

"I have something to tell you, there may be a Gege who wants to enter the mansion in a few days, you order two tables of banquets to be set up at the other end of the kitchen!" the fourth master pinched the small teacup of Zisha and said in a low voice.

"Well, I don't know which girl it is?" asked Erph, chuckling in her heart, and raised her eyes as if disapprovingly.

The fourth master waved his hand, "It's just a girl from an inconspicuous little person's family!"

"Okay, it's good that the master has set a date, and the ingredients on the left and right are ready!" Erfu saw that the fourth master was talking about him left and right, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After saying this, the fourth master seemed to have unloaded the big burden in his heart, and the whole person was much more relaxed, under the pretext that there were still some things to deal with in front of him, and without waiting for Erfu to reply, he walked out of the west courtyard.

A newcomer entered the door, and Erf finally understood the mood of the Ulanala clan when they let the women into the mansion, a little bitter, a little jealous, and a little cold...... It's really a mixture of five flavors condensed into one sentence - I feel uncomfortable!

Seeing the fourth master hurriedly walking out of the west courtyard, Yuhua and the others glanced at each other, and then walked into the upper room with cat steps, looking at Erfu, who wanted to cry without tears, he could only stand in the corner stupidly.

"It's time for dinner, I'm going to go out for a walk, only Yuhua will follow!" After speaking, Erfu went straight into the inner room to change his clothes, and did not look at the sympathetic faces of the maids.

The evening breeze gently brushed Erf's face, blowing away the sadness and grievances in her heart. When Erf stood at the gate of the main courtyard, she regretted it a little.

After all, she rushed to the Ulanala clan in such a hurry at this time, which always made people think that she was a stingy and intolerable jealous woman.

"Side Fujin, please sit inside, our master was still talking about you just now!" "Mama Fu is used to the closeness of her master and the West Courtyard, but she is not as dark as before.

Ulanala was still not in good shape, but it was much better than in winter, and although he had not yet changed into the thin cotton clothes of spring, he had stopped the charcoal stove, and was sitting by the window fiddling with the makeup box.

Seeing Erfu enter the door, the Ulanala clan looked back and smiled, "Why did you come here now, and I'm not afraid that my lord won't be angry if he can't find you!"

"Fujin, don't make fun of me, I'm here to vent my bitterness on you!" Erph felt that she was not a good liar, so she didn't say anything about going for a walk, and said generously.

The Ulanala clan was slightly stunned, and then showed a teasing smile of 'you are lying', waved his hand and withdrew the maid who was waiting on the left and right, and called Erfu to sit in front of him.

"What the hell is going on?" asked the Ulanala clan as he suppressed the smile on his face.

"There's a new person coming to the house!" said Erph, clutching her handkerchief and frustrated in her tone.

The Ulanala clan thought that something terrible had happened, and when he saw Erph looking so jealous, he burst out laughing, "You can't sit still with such an idea, you're really cautious." ”

"Fujin ......" Erfu was a little embarrassed by the laughter of the Ulanala clan, and said coquettishly.

"Okay, well, what kind of girl is it, but what Concubine De is referring to?" Seeing Erfu's face flushed, the Ulanala clan hurriedly put away the smile on her face, and only the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes revealed her good mood.

Erfu lowered her head and stirred the veil, and said softly: "The master didn't say whose family it is, and he didn't say whether it was the mother's finger, it seems that he attaches great importance to it, and asked me to order the kitchen to prepare two tables of banquets to celebrate!"

"That's right!" Ulanala muttered as he muttered as if he was distracted, with a look of attention flashing in his eyes.

The two sat in relative silence for a while, and then the Wulanala clan opened the conversation, took Erfu's somewhat cold little hand, and said softly in a heartfelt voice: "Master he is the prince, and now there are only two or three kittens in the house, and it is normal to have a newcomer, and you don't have to take those newcomers too seriously."

Over the years, there have been more than a dozen grids in the house, but look at who else is left, and who else is the person on the tip of the master's heart!"

"I know what Fu Jin said is right, but I just feel uncomfortable!" Erph said with an awkward look out the window and a little blushing.

"Since you entered the mansion, the lord has taken you to heart, and it has been seven or eight years since I hurt you, do you know why?"

Erf shook her head stupidly, her face ignorant, and her stomach hurt with anger.

"There are so many women in this house, and no one has ever been like you.

No matter how much the fourth master spoils you, or after you gave birth to Hongxuan, you have never changed!

It's not that he can't accept women being jealous, nor is he unacceptable to those who compete for favor with small calculations, but he hates people who are ruthless and spoiled.

And although you are not very smart, you are kind-hearted, so no matter how many newcomers come to the house, as long as you remain the same, you are still the person on the tip of your heart. ”

As the Wulanala clan spoke, her heart was also a little pantothenic, just such a stupid woman gained the heart of the fourth master of the cold male god, and she couldn't figure out whether it was good or not!

Like an initiation, Erf untied the knot that had been trapped in her heart for a long time.

She had already expected what would happen today from the beginning! She had already understood from the beginning that the fourth master did not belong to her alone!

If she likes him, why does she want to change him!

If she makes trouble now, then she really pushes the fourth master to the side of the others, then she is really stupid to the extreme! (To be continued......)
