Xiao Qi sensitively felt that Erfu suddenly mentioned such an inconsequential matter, which was definitely not a good phenomenon, she glanced at the direction of the study with some hesitation, shook her head firmly and asked: "Eniang, you ask me if I have a book in my room, it is used to pass the time when I am tired of reading, I definitely did not delay my homework because of chasing the book, which can be proved by those female gentlemen!"
"E-Niang doesn't mean this, E-Niang is asking what type of books you read, so that after knowing your preferences, E-Niang can also let the housekeeper send more over there, so as not to get bored with the old books that I have read before, Xiao Qi likes to read those miscellaneous notes of travel and customs, or the words of talented and beautiful women who often read deep boudoirs, or the biography of the rivers and lakes of happiness and hatred!" Erfu shook his head slightly, patted Xiao Qi's head with a smile, forcibly withdrew his eyes that fell on the bookshelf in the study, and said softly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"At this point, Xiao Qi thinks it doesn't matter, as long as he can pass the time. ”
"Then you don't need someone to pay special attention to you, it's better to send new books to the bookstore on a monthly basis. Erfu tidied up the corners of her clothes indifferently and replied casually, but before Xiao Qi could react to what was going on, she smiled and beckoned to Xiao Qi as if she had suddenly thought of something, signaling her to come up and whisper a few words.
Wuya Academy is a free academy built by Erfu near Fengtai Zhuangzi before, different from ordinary academies, it specializes in recruiting poor children from nearby Zhuanghu families to study in the hospital, and does not charge any fees, this matter, Xiao Qi also knows, Erfu is embarrassed to look for Xiao Qi to collect the book in her room, so he used the poor children who studied in Wuya Academy as an excuse.
"E-Niang knows that you have a lot of old books here, and you can't use them now, instead of putting them on the bookshelf and dusting them, it is better to give them to the boundless academy opened by E-niang, so that those children who don't have the money to buy books can borrow them from the library of the academy, the best of both worlds, what does Xiao Qi think!" After speaking, Erfu blinked her watery eyes and stared at Xiao Qi's answer with a smile.
is a child of her own, and she knows best as a mother.
Don't look at Xiao Qi has returned to the mansion and re-behaved as her prince Gege, but her heart has always been thinking about her classmates in the Boundless Academy and her playmates in the village, and she often asks her former wedding maid Yuqing and others to send some gadgets to those little playmates, she is not afraid that if she says this, Xiao Qi will not agree.
As she expected, Xiao Qi readily agreed, and even more actively led the palace people over to clean up the old books on the shelves that were no longer suitable for her age to read, and put one locally in the camphor wood bookcase brought by Erfu.
It's just that Xiao Qi's age is limited, although there are a lot of books on her bookshelf, but many of them are used to make appearances, she hasn't really read them, and they are all treasured classics with brocade inlay, which are really not suitable to be sent to the Tibetan Academy of Wuya Academy, and the books that can really be said to be useless are really a little few, she always packed up for a long time, and only barely packed a small half box, some of which are idle books that she has seen before to pass the time, and are not suitable for her classmates in Wuya Academy to borrow, she pointed to the half-empty bookcase a little shyly, turned her head to Erfu, who was sitting next to her and drank tea, and asked softly: "E-niang, will you see if these will seem too little?"
"It doesn't matter, there are still a lot of books in Eniang, and besides, this is not to be sent over to fill the number, and it will be sent in batches in the future, in addition, your Aunt Bai Jiao will also buy a batch of commonly used books in the bookstore and send them over, these are already a lot, enough for those children to read for a while, and then the books you have read, you can also send them over, a little bit to enrich the library, I think that soon there will be a very large library building in the Boundless Academy, maybe there will be more books than the study in the front yard of your Amma!" Erfu's main purpose is to confiscate the book in Xiao Qi's room, afraid that Xiao Qi will be distorted by the book, so she doesn't care much about the number, she walked over with a smile and looked at the obviously empty bookshelf, lowered her head and patted Xiao Qi's still very thin little shoulder, and said softly.
"Okay, Xiao Qi will study hard in the future, and he will copy more books to practice calligraphy, and strive to send more books to those friends. Children's hearts are often very simple and straightforward, she smiled and agreed with what Erf said, patting her chest and reassuring.
Ancient printing technology is not advanced, even if there is already a movable type printing in the Qing Dynasty, books are still a very valuable luxury, unless it is the four books and five classics, such as the necessities of each scholar has a volume, there are few books printed in large quantities, many poor scholars are relying on manual transcription to enrich their own collections, don't look at Xiao Qi's young age, but already know this, she thinks that the rare books in her room are not suitable for sending to the library of Wuya Academy for borrowing, but she can copy a volume of hard work and send it over, so that her friends can read the book, and will not be afraid of damage because it is a rare book, and was shelved.
Erfu didn't expect that her casual behavior today made Xiao Qi unconsciously embark on the road of calligraphy, but these are already afterwords, and now Erfu, who has successfully collected all the words in Xiao Qi's room, returned to the upper room of the main courtyard very easily, she didn't even care about changing her clothes, so she asked Aunt Yuxiu to come over, and explained Aunt Yuxiu very seriously.
Such a somewhat rigid request made Aunt Yuxiu stunned.
To tell the truth, most of the books sold in the market that don't know who wrote them are talented and beautiful. The story of the poor scholar who met the young lady in the back garden, the reason is that the powerful and clear men have no leisure time to read the book to pass the time, and the time is used to study the eight strands of literature and the power struggle in the court, the main audience of these books is the idle woman in the back house, although the deep boudoir women are pampered, but most of them follow the interests of the family and do not know strangers to marry, after marriage, they have to face the trivial affairs of the back house, and those endless layers of beautiful concubines like goblins are intrigued, and it is often difficult to be harmonious with her husband Qin Se, raise your eyebrows, what these ladies crave most in their hearts is the fate of heaven that can not be found, and these words are like their spiritual food.
A volume of more than 10,000 words, all the beautiful and gorgeous rhetoric is given to the hero and heroine, not to mention that the hero and heroine are mythical to perfection, but it also allows everyone to find a little bit of similarity from the hero and heroine. Experience can start writing a biography of travel, such a simple and cliché book, those writers can write a few copies casually, the most suitable for earning some scattered silver to supplement daily expenses, so it is easy to search for books, but it is difficult to find some travel biographies.
But fortunately, the fourth master's family has a big business, and the idle help of the helper running errands is even more innumerable, and it is still very easy to meet Erfu's requirements, so Aunt Yuxiu was stunned and quickly nodded in response.
"In addition to these travel biographies, you can also ask the front yard to send more books such as recipes, recipes, embroidery booklets, etc., to Xiao Qiduo to see. Erfu remembered the temporary excuse she had talked to Xiao Qi before, and added with a smile, secretly saying that she should also find some useful books for those Zhuang girls who are studying in Boundless Academy, so as not to send useless idle books to the past, so that a good library can become an ornament.
The slave wrote it down. Yuxiu replied respectfully.
"By the way, I have sent a few lazy little palace maids in the garden before, and I have not carefully asked them where they are on errands, you remember to see where there is a shortage of people later, and deploy competent people from other places to go over, so as not to delay the errands everywhere, so that the housekeepers everywhere will come to me to complain. After explaining the most important thing, Erfu remembered the scene in the garden before, and hurriedly stopped Yuxiu, who was about to retire as she spoke.
"The matter over there in the garden, the poetic girl and the slave maid have said hello, and the slave and maid have already arranged all the manpower, and the custody will not delay the errands everywhere. Aunt Yuxiu stood up with a smile, bent her knees slightly, and answered softly.
"That's good, I'm relieved.
Recently, the things in the house have been one after another, I thought that the fourth master would go out on an errand, I could have some spare time to smooth my mind, but I didn't expect Mo Yaqi to have an accident again, so that I really can't cope with it, Aunt Yuxiu can work harder, you can't look at me, there is something I don't care, you can remind me more. Erfu stepped forward with a smile, put a pair of gilt twisted bracelets on her wrists on her wrists, and said softly.
Erfu doesn't care what Aunt Yuxiu's identity is, but Aunt Yuxiu's ability is what she really admires, such a capable person, she doesn't want to return it to Concubine De, and Aunt Yuxiu is just the right age, only in her forties, looking at it, she is in good health, if there is such a well-informed grandmother sitting in the Fourth Master's Mansion, Erfu feels that her whole person can be much easier, and she is naturally happy to hold Aunt Yuxiu, so that she can get more say in the house.
Her idea coincides with Yuxiu.
The location in the palace is limited, and it has always been a radish and a pit.
She is now arranged by Concubine De to come to the Fourth Master's Mansion, she didn't think about going back to Yonghe Palace to serve, because she left, there must be a suitable person to take her place, to be the new head of the palace maid, in the side of Concubine De Niangniang for many years, she has long been accustomed to being the palace maid above everyone under one person in Yonghe Palace, if she starts from the palace maid again, to others to do a little low, she will inevitably be a little uncomfortable, and the new head of the palace maid who replaces her will inevitably do everything possible to prevent her, afraid that she will snatch the errand that has been done, so instead of going back to be flattered by others, climb back to the position of the palace maid, she might as well stay in the fourth master's mansion as an errand boy, carefully help Erfu, who has a more kind personality, and be the well-deserved first housekeeper in the mansion.
She didn't show such thoughts to Erfu before, mainly because she was worried that Erfu had taboos, thinking that she was the eyeliner that Concubine De had planted, but now that Erfu took the initiative to show favor, she naturally wouldn't hold it, she quietly stroked the bracelet that still had Erfu's body temperature on her wrist, sincerely saluted, and said respectfully: "Slave Yuxiu has seen the master, and the master is auspicious." ”
"You are the old man next to Concubine De Niangniang, who has accompanied Niangniang from a small time to today, you can be regarded as half an elder of the fourth master, that is, the elder of the fourth master, that is, the elder of the fourth master, that is naturally my elder, and there is no need to be so formalistic if there are no outsiders in the future. Erfu lifted Aunt Yuxiu, who was doing a half-squatting salute, smiled and tidied up the folded clothes for Aunt Yuxiu, and said softly.
"Since the master commanded it, the slave and maid did it. Aunt Yuxiu replied with a somewhat casual smile.
The more she came into contact with Erfu, the more Yuxiu liked Erfu's character, when she came to the Fourth Master's Mansion before, she often heard people mention that the former Guerjia side Fujin treated people peacefully, but in the end it was not a personal experience, so she didn't take it too seriously, after all, the impression that Concubine De Niangniang had been serving for many years gave people outside, and it was also the kind of gentle and lovely style, but Yuxiu, who knew a lot about Concubine De, knew very well that it was just a soft knife used by Concubine De to confuse opponents to lower their vigilance, but she came into contact with Erfu, but found that Erfu was really gentle, treat people peacefully and politely, not what she thinks she is.
As an old palace maid who has served in the palace for many years, Yuxiu understands very well that the groveling servant cares most about the feeling of being respected, and is also the most sensitive to this kind of respect.
The master and servant secretly reached such an agreement that is not easy to announce.
Seeing Yuxiu leave the main courtyard, Erfu got up and came to the study, she smiled and called Shilan Yanmo, and wrote a letter to Concubine De in the palace, before Concubine De lent Aunt Yuxiu to her to call, she did not say that she would leave Yuxiu in the fourth master's mansion to serve, since she decided to leave Yuxiu behind, she always wanted to personally tell Concubine De Niangniang, this is the respect for Concubine De, and it is also an expression of the importance of Aunt Yuxiu, but recently the emperor and the fourth master are not in Beijing, she is a deep house lady, it is really not good to enter and leave the house at will, so she can only retreat to write a handwritten letter to Concubine De Niangniang to express it。
Of course, she also knows that even if she doesn't write this letter, Concubine De Niangniang won't care too much, but the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not as good as the relationship between biological mother and daughter, and there will be a gap if she is not careful, but this estrangement will not be worn away over time, but will be like a snowball Bigger and bigger, plus the two sides can't often have face-to-face contact, more through the words between the servants, in order not to make the fourth master embarrassed for her and Concubine De's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship in the future, she naturally has to be more careful.
Sent to the palace together with the letters, there are also a few snacks that are good for my father-in-law.
