Chapter 384: Listen to the Root of the Wall
Chapter 384
"Then let's just listen to her?" asked Yaoqin sullenly.
Erfu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Didn't you listen to their master and servant, I guess I want to borrow a place in our house to meet people, I am really a little curious about who can be so capable, and can actually make Li Jia's even forget the number of etiquette!"
Maybe we'll see some secrets!" said Erph, with a sly smile, and her watery, dripping eyes curved into crescents, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Seeing that Yaoqin was about to speak, Erfu hurriedly shook her head, made a gesture of silence, and finally moved the embroidery pier sitting under her to the wall, with a gossip on her face, and made up her mind to listen to the root of the wall.
Yaoqin was helpless, but in the end, there was a difference between master and servant, and she couldn't help but let Erfu mess around.
However, although she did not agree with Erf's behavior, she still dutifully walked to the door, so as not to break in without a long eye, and see her master so embarrassed, and it was precisely because of this that Erfu was more assured and bold to listen to the root of the wall.
Li Jia's family cursed a few more words without naming his name, and only then did he stop talking under the persuasion of Xiao Tao, and looked at the corridor when he came with a pair of eyes, and his hands were twisted into a ball at a loss, like a ball of wool, and the handkerchief in his hand was already out of shape, not much better than the rag used for cleaning in the hands of the servants.
Erff listened with her ear against the wall for a while, and then it became a little boring.
Speaking of which, she really didn't mean to listen to the privacy of others, she just thought it was quite interesting. It was more like a child's prank, but there was no movement for a while, and she felt bored. moved Xiudun back to the round table and sat down, raised her hand and motioned for Yaoqin to change a cup of hot tea for her, got up and walked to the clean room behind the screen.
At the moment when her buttocks just left the cushion wrapped on the embroidery pier, there was a "crunch" sound from the door of the warm pavilion next door, followed by a somewhat unfamiliar female voice, and then Xiao Tao's somewhat crisp and sharp voice was deliberately lowered by two points, as if it was leading Li Jiashi and the visitor to greet each other.
Erf didn't care about her previous plans. Laughing made Yaoqin slow down, listening with her ears stunned, but she didn't move back to the wall.
"Shao Fujin. The concubine's words are ugly, it is difficult for you to get pregnant, and this problem does not necessarily lie in you, aren't the other concubines in your house the same as not pregnant? Don't be there anything wrong with your uncle's body!" the woman's voice was somewhat familiar. It was a little unfamiliar, and Erfu listened for a while, only to find that the woman who came next door was the one who had talked to her about Feng Weeping Blood before, and she dared to love this doctor .
Erph thought to herself.
As his Tara clan's voice gradually disappeared, Li Jia's tone replied with a bit of urgency and disbelief, "This can't be, although the uncle is studying and learning with him Amma, but the archery is not bad." On weekdays, the palace doctor who invited Ping'an Mai in the house did not say anything wrong with him, as for saying that the other concubines were not pregnant. That's also because of the effect of taking the avoidance soup all the time!"
Erf sneered.
Which told her that if she was in good health, she would not be infertile, if it was really a man who was soft and lying on her stomach, then Li Jia's mother-in-law would naturally not torture her as a daughter-in-law, and besides, according to the method of calculating the best pregnancy period in this era, if she could conceive, it would really be blessed by God!
Sure enough, as soon as Li Jia's words came out, he stopped mentioning this stubble, but talked about another matter, "Could that be a problem of the day?"
Erfu guessed that at this time, Li Jiashi must have been red-faced and shy, after all, talking about this matter between men and women in front of a woman who is still a stranger is definitely a test of people's psychological quality, Li Jia's voice is almost unheard, and it is thanks to Erfu who has been listening with his ears stunned, otherwise it is really a little unreal.
"Although there are some concubines in the house who have a good appearance, but the uncle is a person who understands the rules, and he always has to stay in my room for seven or eight days a month......" Li Jiashi said stumbling, as if he was extremely embarrassed, the handkerchief in his hand had long been unable to see his true face, and his face was dyed with a layer of red clouds, and his whole head was about to be buried under the table.
"According to the concubine's body, there is nothing wrong with Shao Fujin's body, this matter should still be natural, and secondly, it is good to relax, after all, this matter is not something that can be rushed. He Tara did his duty as a doctor, his face was calm, and he said slowly in a normal tone.
Immediately took out a small pastel porcelain bottle from the sleeve tube and put it in front of Li Jia's eyes, "These are a few of the medicines I prepared before, which are most suitable for nourishing yin and nourishing yuan, but it is suitable for Shao Fujin and your uncle, if you grind this thing into powder and mix it with spices to burn, mix it in water, it is also fine, it is very helpful to get pregnant!"
After speaking, he didn't care if Li Jiashi understood it, smiled and motioned for Xiao Tao to put it away, and estimated the time for Li Jiashi to take it.
Li Jiashi wanted to refuse, after all, listening to his Ta La's meaning, this medicine is afraid that it also has a fun-boosting effect, which makes her feel that this thing is not suitable for her identity to use, nor does it conform to the rules and etiquette she has learned over the years, but as soon as she thought of the overly angry concubines in the house and Meng Jia's late mother's face, she swallowed back the words that had reached her throat, and silently watched him He Lashi handed the medicine bottle to Xiao Tao, and watched Xiao Tao carefully put it away, so she glared at Xiao Tao with a red face, as if she blamed Xiao Tao for making her own opinion, but how to look at it, there is a sense of being a thief in it。
He is a very smart person, so he naturally understands Li Jia's careful thoughts, he smiled, and said softly: "Between this husband and wife, there should always be some fun, and besides, this thing is not harmful to the body, and it is also a serious good thing, Shaofu Jinwan does not need to worry so much!"
Li Jia's face was scornful, but he didn't say anything to refute it, he answered vaguely, and asked Xiao Tao to send him to go out, and she also worked hard to sort out her mood at this time, and when Xiao Tao sent him back from Tala's. She had already arranged her dress, and sat down on the embroidery pier to drink tea as usual.
"This is what the man gave to the slave maid when he was out just now, saying that this thing is good for the young lady. Let Miss take a look at it more!" Xiao Tao took out a thin booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Li Jiashi, and said in a low voice.
Li Jiashi took it, only glanced at the contents of the booklet, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Hurry up and put it away, if people can see it, not only my face will be damaged." I really don't know how she is so bold as a woman, where did E-Niang collect this person, don't be those shameless things!"
The things that Xiao Tao handed to Li Jiashi were not sideways. It's some small yellow books that circulate in the shadows, if only those vague things are enough, the content of this book is bold and the characters are lifelike. There is also a small print note on the side. It's like a textbook, if you let others see it......
Li Jiashi didn't dare to think about it, as if he had lost a hot potato, he threw the booklet back in front of Xiao Tao's eyes, and his face, which had just faded from redness, was once again covered with a layer of red cloth, and even more than the previous blush on his face, the whole person seemed to have fallen into a dye vat, and his hands trembled a little.
Erff listened from the sidelines. Although she couldn't see Li Jia's performance, it didn't prevent her from guessing with her brain open. Especially after hearing Li Jia's last two sentences, he actually made a contemplative gesture, guessing what it was like in the booklet that he gave to Xiao Tao.
Speaking of which, she is a well-behaved and obedient good child in modern times, although she has never seen and experienced what it is like to be a man and a woman, but she has also heard people say it, and she has crawled through those posts that talk about those men and women, and she has a vague guess.
But when it comes to the little yellow books of this era, she really has no clue, and she relies on her brains.
As soon as he thought of the literary essays full of knowledgeable people, and then thought of the little thing between men and women, Erfu smiled embarrassedly, really curious about what Li Jiashi had to be shy, and he was so ashamed to see such a little yellow book that he couldn't even say it completely.
Here, Erfu watched the excitement happily, and over there, Li Jiashi had already asked Xiao Tao to hide the booklet in a hidden place, and planned to go back to the front to continue socializing, after all, she was still very interested in listening to Tong Jia's Xiang'an class.
The door of the warm pavilion next door opened again, making a "creaking" sound, as the sound of rustling clothes gradually faded away, the next room sounded the sound of the rough maid tidying up the room and delivering water, Erfu also faintly saw the back of the little maid carrying the toilet away from the window, it seemed that it was a guest and a change, regardless of whether it had been used or not.
"Master, do we want to go back?" Yaoqin asked busily when she saw that Erfu had never moved, and had the idea of sitting down like this.
Erfu shook her head slightly, "Sit for a while, if someone asks, they will say that I drank a few glasses of peach blossom wine, some of the alcohol is up, and my body is not very comfortable to go to the garden to blow the wind!" She was also afraid that Li Jiashi would guess that she had been sitting in the warm pavilion, which would make Li Jiashi feel embarrassed, but she didn't deliberately want to hide her whereabouts.
It's just that sometimes, her kindness may not be well reciprocated.
After sitting for another quarter of an hour, listening to the increasingly lively sounds in front of her, Erfu walked out of the warm pavilion wearing a fur coat, beckoned Yaoqin to circle around the Xiying Pavilion twice, and blew her body a little cold, and then led Yaoqin back slowly.
As soon as she turned to the east side, Erfu heard Li Jiashi and Tong Jiashi talking, and they were asking where she was, and it seemed that she was already a little suspicious.
Fortunately, she was quite well prepared, and she specially blew her body cold before coming back, and even her face was a little red from the cold, and she could see that she had been walking outside for a long time, which also prevented her and Yaoqin from arguing with others more.
"Where did Fang Fujin go, why is his face so red, and his hands are cold!" Erfu had just walked to the table, and the woman sitting on her side hurriedly got up and came over to help, only touching the tips of her fingers slightly, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"After a few glasses of wine, this head is a little dizzy, but I don't go out for a walk, but I feel better!" Erph smiled and sat down with the man, replied softly, and after speaking, he pushed the wine cup a little farther away with a look of fear, as if he did not dare to drink any more.
There is a banquet in the house, and the women on the table are all fruit wine with a very shallow degree, but there are also some people who really can't drink, only a few glasses will be drunk and red, although they will not be drunk and irrational, but in the end there will be some gaffes, the big guys are all face-saving people, naturally they don't want to do that kind of thing, so there are few people on the table who climb wine, for Erf's behavior like this, everyone is laughing and laughing.
Erfu saw that the big guys were very considerate, and Tong Jiashi had already instructed the maid to go to the back kitchen to fry the sobering tea to come over for her to take, so she didn't say anything anymore, she could only try to squint her eyes and pretend to be drunk, her lips were slightly pouting, and she deliberately pretended to be bad at using chopsticks from time to time.
After a quarter of an hour, a white fungus lotus seed soup was delivered to the banquet, and the little maid who was sent by Tong Jiashi to fry the sobering tea also came back with the hot decanting tea.
Decanting tea, the color is dark yellow, and it has a unique taste of traditional Chinese medicine, without tasting it, Erfu feels that this thing is not delicious, "I'm fine, I don't need to drink this thing, I smell it and feel so unpleasant!"
"Let's drink a pill, so as not to be uncomfortable!" Tong Jiashi didn't know that Erfu was not drunk, and seeing Erfu's face resistant, he coaxed Erfu like a child, and even ordered the maid to prepare candied fruit and send it to the table, and smiled and held a small white jade soup bowl and sent it to Erfu.
Well, at your own peril!
If you don't like to watch the excitement, why do you want to drink such a strange bitter tea, Erfu had tears in her heart, and a faint smile on her face, raised her hand to take the soup bowl held by Tong Jiashi and brought it to her mouth, twisted her brows and poured it into her stomach.
The decanting tea is not delicious, but the candied fruit is sweet and sour, and after a few candied fruits, the unpleasant medicinal smell disappears completely, leaving a faint sweet fragrance on the lips, so that Erfu finally showed a smile.
At the table, it has gradually come to an end.
On the stage that has already been set up opposite Xiying Pavilion, there are already a few excellent singers who are turning their heels and doing warm-up activities, and the gongs and drums in their ears are tight and dense, making people feel a feeling of blood boiling when they listen to it.
Mama Wen led the little maids forward and invited all the ladies who were already full of wine and food to the second floor.
On the second floor, in addition to the original position of the banquet of those who did not go out of the pavilion, it is still not moved, but a few silk screens have been placed to cover it, and the other ground has been arranged with orangutan felt palace blankets and red-burned charcoal stoves and other things, and the position is more than one or two meters away from the window, and a corner table and official hat chairs are placed in the shape of a chessboard, and the original wooden lattice windows have been removed, leaving only a fence less than one meter high, and the north wind blows, that is, there is a charcoal stove for heating, which still makes people feel cold, and it is a sunny day today, otherwise sitting here to watch the play, it is really not a good enjoyment。
Thinking of this, Erf tightened the big bag wrapped around her body. (To be continued.) )
