Chapter 445

"Master, what do you command?" asked Gu Zheng with a respectful smile on his face, bowing his head.

Erfu smiled and stretched out his hand, pointed to a blue jade vase on the Bogu shelf on the side, and said with a smile: "Bring me that vase." ”

The blue jade vase on the Bogu shelf is an inconspicuous square vase, and if there is anything that is noteworthy, it is the dense ice cracks and phoenix-shaped ears on it.

However, Erfu liked this jade bottle very much, and even often held it in his hand to enjoy it.

"What's so special about this bottle!" The fourth master thought that his appreciation of calligraphy and painting was not bad, but he really didn't see anything particularly rare about this bottle, on the contrary, it was a little unworthy of Erfu's identity, if it wasn't for Erft to point it out, he wouldn't have noticed such a bottle, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I got it last year. Erph replied in a reluctant way for a while, then flipped the vase and opened the piston underneath, revealing the "difference" of the vase.

Two years ago, Xiao Qi and Hongxuan moved out of the West Courtyard one after another, and when they lived in the East and West Courtyard, she specially explained what Yuqing sent in from the outside, this vase looks ordinary on the outside, but it is a piggy bank that can be opened, and the piggy bank of modern large-scale and assembly line products is different, this is definitely a private custom, and there are only three in the world.

One is in Xiao Qi, one is in Hongxuan, and the other is here with her.

At that time, Erfu handed over all the gifts that Xiaoqi and Hongxuan had received over the years to the hands of the two children. Arranged a small warehouse for the two little ones in the east and west courtyards, she was worried that Xiao Qi and they were born rich and noble, so they didn't know how to cherish it, so they drew the drawings herself. Let Yuqing find a craftsman and fire these vases in the style of piggy banks, so that they can maintain the habit of saving money, and specially use some homemade gold coins to exchange for many rare treasures from their hands.

For this little trick, Erf snickered.

There are hundreds of silver coins and gold coins. sprinkled all over the Luohan bed, Erfu sent the empty vase to the fourth master. "There are rewards and punishments, you are a dignified prince, and it is really damaging your face to let you kneel and copy scriptures. It's better to fine money. These gold and silver coins were specially made by goldsmiths. It's worth a lot of money, compared to your money, make a mistake, a small mistake penalty silver coin, corresponding to your month's money, a big mistake fine gold coin, corresponding to your year's money, what do you think?"

"What?" The fourth master is now off the assembly line, and he doesn't understand what Erfu is talking about. All eyes were on the gold coins that filled the bed with starlight shining in the sun.

"It's stupid. Erfu rolled her eyes in disgust, pouted, and continued, "That is to say, in the future, if you make a mistake, you will have to pay me a month's salary of your prince, and then I will ask the goldsmith to make an identical silver coin, which is engraved with the title of your Prince Yong, the character Yong, as a distinction."

Once I have saved up a certain amount of silver, I have decided to impose an economic blockade on you, so that you will have to work in exchange for your food and clothing.

Of course, I won't really let you pay, you can also be without this, who made you the master!" The last sentence, Erfu said in a playful tone, her eyes were full of provocation, as if she thought that the fourth master would not abide by such a ridiculous rule, but she was just coaxing her as a child!

"Okay, just do as you say. The fourth master felt that his husband's face and prestige were under suspicion, and he was not verbose, and he didn't even ask a word about how to exchange for food and clothing, so he stretched out his hand and said loudly in a high-five shape, "A gentleman's word, a horse is difficult to chase, and the master is not the kind of despicable villain who has no credit." ”

After speaking, he beckoned Su Peisheng to take the pen and ink, and wrote a regular script ink character - Yong, to show his great approval of Erfu's proposal and his intention to follow it firmly, which caused Erfu to snicker again.

It's not that Erfu is too easily satisfied, but when she thinks of the picture of the fourth master serving tea and water for her, pinching her shoulders and beating her legs, she can't help but want to laugh.

Although she also knew that this possibility was very small, there were some possibilities!

The fourth master didn't think that he must have fallen into the trap set by Erfu, but instead studied the ink by himself and wrote three chapters about the covenant set by today's conversation, lest Erfu make a mistake in the future.

Black and white, more reliable, this is what the fourth master thinks now, but he didn't expect that in the next few years, he would want to find this somewhat joking contract from Erfu countless times, trying to set things right and re-establish the manhood.

"Come, sign and draw. In less than a moment, the fourth master had already finished writing the contract in duplicate with enthusiasm, pushed the cinnabar stamp pad and the contract in front of Erfu's eyes, and said loudly.

"This dare is good, in black and white, so that you will not regret it when the time comes. Erfu smiled and left a cinnabar fingerprint and an ink signature on the two contracts, and turned his head, looking at the fourth master with a 'fourth master, you don't dare' expression, staring at the fourth master and leaving a handprint and signature like her, then smiled and beckoned to the guzheng, "Come, hurry up and put this contract away, this will be your master's and my gold medal for avoiding death from now on." ”

Seeing Erfu's childlike innocent reaction, the fourth master pursed his lips and smiled, regardless of Su Peisheng's stupid expression, he also raised his hand and commanded loudly: "Come, keep this thing away, if you dare to lose it, be careful of your head." ”

After saying that, he got up and came to Erf's side, and accompanied Erfu to fiddle with the shiny gold and silver coins.

These gold and silver coins made by Erfu let the goldsmith make them different from those gold coins that are no different from copper coins and those that are round inside and outside, but solid gold coins the size of modern one-yuan coins, and on the edge of the small cylinder, there is a dense crescent moon pattern, which looks very textured, like a frosted pattern, which attracts the fourth master can't help but rub it, and the two sides of the gold coin, one side is carved with all kinds of lifelike flowers, and the other side is engraved with the words Fulu Suxi and other words with seal characters, which looks very exquisite. It's like a work of art.

"You let the goldsmith do it. The fourth master picked up a gold coin engraved with the word 'longevity' on the front and longevity flowers on the back, and asked in a low voice.

"That's right. Interesting, isn't it? While checking the number, Erfu threw a proud little look at the fourth master and said with a smile.

"What are you doing with these things?" The fourth master was a little strange about the purpose of these gold coins.

After all, it looks like gold and silver jewelry, although it can be sold, pawned, and exchanged for silver. But if it weren't for the disaster, I guess I wouldn't have used these things, a mansion like theirs. In the hands of each master, which one didn't press the silver of the box!

"In the future, when Xiao Qi gets married, I will give Xiao Qi as a dowry, and if anyone dares to bully Xiao Qi, let Xiao Qi take the money and stone them to death. Erph said through gritted teeth.

It's no wonder that El Fu reacted this way......

- Xiao Qi is too embarrassed at this age. It is estimated that she can't wait for her father to ascend the throne. will be given a marriage by the old man Kangxi, if at that time, it is good that she, an old and decrepit old lady, has the favor of the fourth master, in case she, the unfortunate mother, has been left behind by the fourth master and spoiled the newcomer, and Hongxuan is still an underage half-grown, and it is estimated that she will not be able to make decisions for Xiaoqi, the sister. That Xiao Qi is likely to be pointed out to Mongolia by the old man Kangxi.

The living environment and habits are different, and Erfu has a future for Xiaoqi. is very unoptimistic, so she has to take precautions first, even if she teaches Xiao Qi to be a female man who can be literate and martial, and can bend and stretch, she must not let Xiao Qi become Miss Jiao, and when the time comes, she will be wronged and die at a young age, leaving only a gorgeous grave.

"Thanks to Xiao Qi's good temperament, if she is really the same as you, then she will be too wronged by her husband. Seeing that Erfu seemed to have seen Xiao Qi's fierce appearance of being wronged, the fourth master couldn't help but joke.

"Like me, why is it bad, if I were not good, people would have blasted you out a long time ago. Erfu glanced at the fourth master, said coldly, and then didn't bother to pay attention to the fourth master, and continued to bow his head and count the gold coins.

Speaking of which, there are really not many coins in the Erff piggy bank, gold, silver, plus a piece, it is just more than a hundred, and you can count eight/nine/no/leave/ten at a glance, but Erfu likes to listen to the pleasant movement of the gold coins colliding together, so he has been playing with it.

"That's good. After counting them three or four times, Erf put the gold and silver coins together in a mess, smiled very contentedly, and threw them into the piggy bank one by one.

"How much in total. The fourth master asked curiously.

"Eighty-six gold coins and forty-five silver coins. Erfu replied without raising his head, and kept throwing the coins in his hands, until he put the coins away, and then carefully handed the vase into the hand of the zither, and motioned for the zither to return to its original place.

"With such a pile of gold on your face, you don't have to worry about being touched. The fourth master looked at the ordinary vase and muttered in a low voice.

"If you want to touch it, you have to touch those jewelry, this gold coin is not enough to make a hairpin!" Erph pointed to the makeup box placed on the corner table, and said with a smile, "Besides, even if it is locked in the library, it is also a thing to prevent gentlemen and villains, it is better to put it there, so that I can count when I am fine, and I have the addiction of counting money." ”

"Rich man, take a look, or take over the shop in Dongcheng first, just to earn more money to save the dowry for Xiao Qi. With nothing to do, the fourth master couldn't help but think of Erfu's previous proposal and said with a smile.

"It's possible, after all, when a new store opens, it always needs to be overhauled. Erfu smiled and nodded, then his face turned dark again, and he said coldly, "However, I want to make it clear to you that Xiao Qi's dowry, the share you should give, must not be saved, you can't hide my mother to save a share for Xiao Qi, you just want to save a share, this woman is married, the dowry is rich, and the confidence in the mother-in-law's family is enough." ”

"Is this king such a stingy person, not to mention that Xiao Qi is also the king's favorite Gege!" Hearing this, the fourth master's face was also dark, and he raised his tone by two points, and said in a deep voice.

"Now there are fewer children in the house, and when there are more children in the future, with your little family background, it is estimated that you will not be able to give away any good things. Erfu said with a look of disdain, as if the fourth master was a door-picker.

But this is also a fact, there are many sons and daughters of the old man Kangxi, and the first few elder brothers who opened the mansion, each elder brother got 200,000 taels of silver to open the mansion silver, and also divided a lot of industries, and the mansion was personally ordered by the old man Kangxi to be purchased in advance by the Internal Affairs Office.

It can be said that the opening of the house is basically completely saved.

But after that wave, the two elder brothers, the 200,000 taels of silver for the opening of the mansion were not exempted, and other things were much worse, even the mansion built by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was much worse, only an empty house, and there was nothing in it, and everything had to be purchased by themselves, not to mention those valuable properties.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about these shadowless things, let's think about how to rebuild the shop in Dongcheng!" The fourth master saw that Erfu was getting more and more boundless, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he hurriedly waved his hand, interrupted Erfu's unfinished words, and changed the topic to talk about the shop.

"It's easy to talk about that shop!

I had thought about it before, as long as I replaced all the old furniture, replaced the windows with glass windows like this in our house, and finally used gold to paint all the thick pillars in the lobby to make it resplendent and magnificent. Erf shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said with a smile.

Erfu said very perfunctory, the fourth master didn't hear anything that could attract guests, and he didn't think that Erfu could turn that shop into a cornucopia, but the decoration of the new Baiweiju shop sketched in Erfu's heart involved many small details, and those were the mysterious tricks that really made the Baiweiju branch popular.

However, these are all secrets, so she doesn't want to tell the fourth master!

While the two were talking, Yaoqin, who went to Zhuangzi to send the sick number, returned to the West Courtyard in the dust.

Yaoqin, who was a little embarrassed, heard that her master and master had a temper, and she didn't have time to go back to change her clothes so she came to ask Erfu for peace.

"Slave and maid, please be safe, please be safe to the master. Yaoqin entered the door a little apprehensively, and before she could walk up to Erfu, she hurriedly saluted and said softly.

"Get up!" said Elph in a low voice, raising her hand with a smile.

didn't see the two of them rattling, Yaoqin was a little sluggish, but she was quite professional, she quickly restrained the surprised expression on her face, and was not noticed by Erfu, and said in a simple and clear tone everything she saw and heard on her trip to Zhuangzi, and at the same time explained the precautions she arranged in Zhuangzi one by one, "Grandpa Zhang Baogong stayed there, led a team of people, and protected those injured guards, and there would be nothing wrong with him." ”

"That's good, Fu Jin has already handed over to the treasury steward, and all those who are good for medical treatment and medicine will be sent over, so as not to delay the treatment, and will definitely not wronged those injured guards, and those unsung heroes will not be allowed to shed blood and tears. Erfu glanced at the fourth master, and saw that the fourth master nodded slightly, so he said with a smile, and at the same time made it clear that this was the order of the Wulanala clan of the main courtyard, and she was just a messenger.
