Chapter 379

While they were talking, it was not early, and everyone began to get busy.

As the protagonist of this banquet, Er Rou naturally wants to wash and change clothes again, Tong Jiashi as a daughter-in-law wants to go to the kitchen to Zhang Luo, but Erfu and Guo Luo Luo don't need to make these preparations, but she really doesn't want to be alone with Guo Luo Luo, looking at Guo Luo Luo Luo also frowned when she saw her, smiled and pulled a not too clever excuse and ordered Yaoqin and Guzheng to send Guo Luo Luo back to the room to rest.

"Master, the slave has a few words to say to you!" Yaoqin had just sent Guo Luo Luo out and turned to come back, so she raised her hand and sent all the maids arranged in the house in the room to the porch, and said to Erfu with a formal face.

Erfu raised her eyebrows slightly, and put down the tea cup she had just picked up in her hand, "Say, don't be so restrained!"

Yaoqin breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and gave Guzheng a look, and motioned for her to go to the window to watch, lest someone approach the window and hear any movement. At the same time, she had already stepped forward to help Elof get up and walk to the bed against the wall, looking mysterious, which caused Elof to be a little curious about what she was going to say.

"The slave maid just sent Fu Jin back to the room, thinking that it was inevitable that the yard would be a little uncomfortable by the wind, so he went around from the corridor, and when he wanted to go to the corner of the corridor, he saw that the close maid next to the concubine was talking to the grandmother next to Fu Jin, it looked a little sneaky, and I don't know if the slave was too careful!"

When Yaoqin came to Erfu's side to serve, he already knew from the fourth master that his master had a good relationship with the sister of the palace and the concubine Niangniang, and when he said this. The whole person was a little apprehensive.

"Xu is Errou is worried about Eniang's body!" Erfu has never doubted Errou, even if she saw Yaoqin speaking formally, she still didn't take it to heart. With his lips slightly raised, he raised his hand to fiddle with the curtain of the cigarette yarn held on the bedpost, and said softly.

"Master, the slave and maid have a sentence, which may be a little ugly, if you listen to it, Xu will also punish the slave and the maid, but the slave and the maid still have to say it. Yaoqin heard this. He knelt down in front of Erfu with a puff and bit his lip slightly.

Erfu raised her eyes to look at the nervous Yaoqin and the guzheng standing by the window, and shook her head slightly. "You two have not been with me for a long time, but I should have heard from the mouths of others, and I have never liked to punish my men. Except for slaves who have betrayed their masters. I will hand it over to the fourth master to deal with.

Say whatever you think, you don't have to be like this, I'm not such an unlistenable person!" After saying that, he had already raised his hand to let her stand up and speak. Kneeling on the cold ground on such a cold winter day, although it is not a long time to kneel, it is not a pleasant thing, and I don't know how long Yaoqin will say, if it is a long time. It is inevitable that the root of the disease will fall.

Yaoqin, who was kneeling on the ground, was still a little hesitant after listening. Seeing that Erfu was about to get up and help her, she hurriedly stood up straight, "The slave maid has been in the Internal Affairs Office for many years, and I have seen many palace concubines who are warm like water on their faces, vicious in their hearts, and ruthless in their methods.

Originally, the slave maid didn't want to have a bad guess, but looking at the style of the concubine, the slave and maid wanted to say that this woman who can walk safely to the concubine position in the palace does not have a fuel-efficient lamp, and there is no real clean one under her, if it is really like the master, I am afraid that if they do not wait for the day when they go to the concubine position, they will be calculated that there is no way to live!"

After listening to this, Erfu pondered for a while, and waited until Yaoqin gave up a little, and then raised his head as if he had made up his mind, looked at the disappointment that Yaoqin and Guzheng showed one after another, and gritted his teeth in a slightly heavy tone and said, "I wrote down this."

But I still don't want to think of her as a bad person, so I won't say it anymore. If you're still not at ease, you should pay more attention, but don't make it too obvious, lest it ruin the sisterhood between me and her. ”

"The slave knows!" Guzheng and Yaoqin were overjoyed when they heard this, and even couldn't even bother to lower their voices, and hurriedly replied with a blessing salute.

......

In the afternoon, the sun hung crookedly over the treetops.

On the southeast corner of Guarjia Mansion, a two-storey small building with wooden structure of bucket arches and cornices is newly arranged, and the main hall on the first floor is hung with red colors, and there are delicate palace lamps with translucent shark yarn everywhere, which is particularly festive.

Mama Qiu walked around the building with a smile on her face, arranging bonsai and ornaments, and she was very much in charge of the family's grandmother.

On the contrary, it is the spring grandmother who is not very popular with Guo Luo Luo Luo these days, who has been staying by Guo Luo Luo's side, watching Er Rou wash and change clothes after bathing, watching Guo Luo Luo personally dress up Er Rou, and finally put on a small round neck placket flag suit with garnet red embroidered rich and noble flowers, and walked out of the inner room with her hair inlaid with Dongzhu Fengdian.

"It's still this Dongzhu that is the most suitable for Rou'er's fair skin!" Guo Luo Luo became more and more happy the more he looked at it, and he didn't let go of Er Rou's hand, and boasted with a smile.

Feng Tian, who is inlaid with East Pearls in the pattern of red gold silk and branches, and the two red gold peony pendants behind Er Rou's ears, are the treasures that the manufacturing office drove out years ago, and they were also explained by Kangxi Ye himself.

The purpose is naturally to let this favorite concubine and concubine Niang, who made him Kangxi feel the innocent love when he was young, shine at the palace banquet with the wives on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but he didn't want Er Rou to look at such a beautiful thing and not move.

When she was in the palace, there were many people, and she could barely endure it, but this time when she left the palace, she really couldn't bear it, and she couldn't wait to wear it at the banquet prepared at home before the first day of the new year.

"E-Niang remembers that when Erfu's girl came back, she wore a pair of earrings with red gold hollow gourds embedded with eastern pearls, which matched your hair ornament, and were more brilliant than the beeswax earrings on your ears!" Guo Luoluo looked up and down for a while, and looked at the somewhat dazzling sunlight for a long time before frowning and saying.

Er Rou smiled when she heard this, "That girl really has a few good things." After a while, E-niang accompanied me to sit down, and she didn't need me to open her mouth, she would obediently send it up!"

After speaking, she raised her hand again and touched her bare neck, twisted her eyebrows as if she was a little dissatisfied, and secretly scolded the palace people who cleaned up the makeup box for her for not being able to use it. I can't even prepare such a thing.

In the end, it was the knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Er Rou's small movements, Guo Luo Luo guessed her thoughts. Pursing her lips and smiling, she greeted Mama Chun, who was following behind, and said in a low voice: "A few years ago, when your sister-in-law had Ake, E-Niang remembered that she didn't know which one gave a gold collar engraved with peony patterns and five treasures as a congratulatory gift.

E-Niang saw that there was also a first-class top-grade Dongzhu inlaid on it, which was a rare good thing, so she asked people to pack it up and put it in the private vault. But no one has used it all the time, so I'll let Mama Chun find it out and pack it up and send it to you in a while!"

After speaking, he accompanied Er Rou to the door of the wing room. I ran to Erfu to ask for the pair of Dongzhu earrings.

For ladies like Erfu and Errou, jewelry and hair accessories come in sets, not only in terms of patterns, but also in terms of the quality and craftsmanship of the gemstones inlaid and embellished. It's pretty much the same. Only those golden hairpins, phoenix hairpins, and sporadic accessories that are just fresh and appreciated after wearing them twice, will appear to be unmatched.

As usual, the set of phoenixes, step shakes, and golden hairpins that Er Rou is wearing at this time are all explained by Kangxi Ye himself, and the office should also be sent in a complete set, but it is such a coincidence. That's all there is to this batch of Dongzhu of the same grade and color, if you want to remake earrings and collars, it is not enough.

If it's all of them, they have to be replaced with other grades of Dongzhu. It can be matched, but it goes against the will of the saint, but if you use other quality Dongzhu on top, it is not very comfortable to look at, and it is inevitable that you will be dissatisfied with the concubine.

The steward of the manufacturing office who is responsible for supervising the manufacture of this set of hair accessories is a clever one, thinking that more things are better than less things, just following the orders of the saint, and then abandoning those other small things, after all, Er Rou is just a new favorite concubine, in the end the foundation is not deep, and the manufacturing office is a place under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is not worried that he and the concubine Niangniang can stretch out his hand so long, so there is such a scene.

Before, the things were made, and he specially arranged a little eunuch who could speak well to send it over, for fear that he and Concubine Niangniang would break out when he saw something wrong, but he didn't want Er Rou to be dazzled by the gorgeous golden Fengdian at that time, and he didn't notice the lack of earrings and such a gadget, so he ordered the palace people he trusted around him to lock it in the brocade box and collect it, so not only did he not get angry, but he also rewarded a rich red envelope.

If it was a coincidence, Er Rou felt that this set of hair accessories was too valuable, and she was worried that someone would not be able to resist the temptation, so she did not hand it over to the palace people who had always taken care of her makeup box, otherwise the palace people would find out when they registered in the file, and they would not let her wear them, only to find that there was a lack of small gadgets such as earrings.

Erfu didn't rest well yesterday, and now she lay on the bed crooked for a while, and suddenly heard that Errou and Guo Luoluo were coming, so she sat up and hurriedly took the hand mirror on the corner of the window to check her makeup.

I saw that in the mirror, her hair was scattered, her cheeks were red, her eyes were still a little congested, and her body was even more disheveled, obviously not suitable for seeing people, but she couldn't let people wait outside, so she hurriedly beckoned the guzheng to serve in front of her, and whispered to Yaoqin, "Hurry up and invite them to drink tea outside, I'll pack up and come out!"

After saying that, Erfu didn't care about the cold bluestone bricks on the ground, and ran to the window barefoot.

There was no dressing table in the wing, and there were bonsai, vases and other things on the corners of the beauty couch on the left and right, so Guzheng had to put some heavy makeup boxes next to the beauty couch where Erfu was sitting, and then he started to arrange Erfu's hair bun.

Erfu doesn't like to use those beautiful silk flowers that are comparable to real flowers, and thinks that the golden hairpin and step shake are too pressure on the neck, unless it is to attend some special formal occasions, so Erfu is simply a loss of face for the ladies in Beijing on weekdays, and there are only two or three golden hairpins in the hair to fix it, and even the step shake is rarely used.

This is a good day for Errou to return to his hometown, Erfu can't lose his sister's face, watching Guzheng frowning and rummaging through the makeup box, glanced slightly, and selected a real ruby crushed diamond peacock to open the screen of the golden step.

Erff took it in her hand and weighed it slightly, it was more than three or two, it was definitely not an ordinary Shen, but for the sake of her sister's face, she decided to grit her teeth and endure it.

His own master set an example, and the guzheng let go of his hands and feet.

In the blink of an eye, he selected three pairs of golden hairpins from the makeup box, which are fruitful, golden and jade full of auspicious and wealthy patterns, and the long-term hairpins of first-class water are all well-intentioned patterns, which are suitable for the occasion.

It's just that as soon as the hairpin was in his hair, Erfu couldn't help but grin.

The long hairpin is the simplest of all the golden hairpin styles, it looks like it is not heavy, but it is solid, worn on the head, and it is by no means lightweight.

Not only that, but just when Erfu thought that there were enough things on her head, she saw Guzheng take out the front and back hair and red gold filigree and ruby front distractions from the makeup box to gain weight for her, which made Erf want to give up her plan.

Inside, Erf groomed her face bitterly;

Outside, Guo Luoluo and Er Rou were waiting a little impatiently.

Seeing that Yaoqin didn't pay attention, Er Rou hurriedly glanced at Guo Luo Luo, and motioned to Guo Luo Luo to urge Erfu to come out quickly, she still had to go back and crook for a while and eat something!

Seeing this, Guo Luo Luo immediately slammed the tea bowl in his hand, "Is Fujin on the side of your family going back to her mother's house to set up a shelf? Let her mother and sister wait outside, she won't be afraid of gossip?"

"Eniang, my sister got up early and came back hard, Xu has already rested, this time we always have to clean up, let's wait here for a while, it's nothing!"

In order to maintain her good impression in Erfu's mind, Errou naturally wanted to help persuade peace, but she didn't notice Yaoqin's sarcastic smile from an angle she couldn't see.

Guo Luoluo's words were deliberately wanted to be heard by Erfu, naturally he did not deliberately lower the volume, as soon as he finished speaking, he listened to the movement in the inner room, and even glanced at Errou with some disgust, as if Errou was talking strangely, so that she couldn't hear Erfu's movements clearly.

This is Guo Luoluo's instinctive reaction, if Tong Jia's and Erfu are used to it, but for Errou, it is the first time, I can't help but be a little stunned, and there is a trace of ruthlessness in my eyes, which is falling under Yaoqin's eyes.

Although, Er Rou had quickly restrained the look on her face, and hung up a signboard smile again, and then remembered that there was an outsider in the room, and looked at Yaoqin with some weakness.

Seeing that Yaoqin didn't look at her, she let go of the worries in her heart and sighed shallowly.

She thought that her hidden actions had not been concealed from Yaoqin, who had been paying attention to her, and Yaoqin was even more sure that this so-called gentle and virtuous concubine was not a good thing, and she made up her mind to talk about it with her master after returning to Prince Yong's mansion, lest her master be stabbed a few times in the back by this trusted sister.

After all, a person who can show such a resentful look towards his own mother, is afraid that the degree of ruthlessness is a little more serious than that of the grandmothers in the palace. (To be continued.) )
