Chapter 526

The fourth master walked in front with his head held high, glanced at Su Peisheng who was sneaking into his front pocket from time to time, secretly laughed, and walked to the door of the West Courtyard, only then did he raise his hand helplessly and look at the official hat on his head, and said in a low voice: "Can you fight for the master, you are still the rightful chief manager of this great prince's mansion!"

Su Peisheng didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine at this time, and he was not as afraid of the fourth master as he was in the past, so he actually smiled and said shyly: "Hehe......

Isn't the slave afraid that he will lose this treasure if he doesn't pay attention!" After speaking, Su Peisheng touched the jade pendant hidden in his arms without fear of death.

Seeing this scene, the fourth master really regretted it!

I regretted that I gave the jade pendant to Su Peisheng so easily.

"Gotta it, you continue to be beautiful!" However, although the fourth master regretted it, he did not go back on his hand to ask for the things he had sent out, so he could only try not to look at Su Peisheng as much as possible 'out of sight and out of mind', waved his hand helplessly, and said without looking back.

After speaking, he took the lead and knocked on the door of the West Courtyard.

――――

In the west courtyard, Erfu heard that the fourth master was coming, and he hurriedly drew half of her drawings, rolled it up in three or two, and received the secret grid of the bookcase, so he tidied up his robe a little and walked out quickly, "Master, why did you come here at this time, don't you have to talk to that Mr. Xiao?"

When the fourth master heard Erfu say this, he was not angry, he stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Erfu's shoulder, and joked softly: "Why, you don't welcome Ye over!"

"It's not that you are not welcome to come, but I think you came a little early.

But as it happens, I have something to say to you.

I always think that Xiao Yixuan's relationship with Fang Fang and Yuanyuan is a little weird. After speaking, Erfu waved his hand, left Guzheng and Yaoqin and others outside the door, pulled the fourth master into the study, sent her piece of paper full of doubts to the fourth master, quietly served hot tea for the fourth master, and held a cup of tea, and sat on the Taishi chair by the window.

The fourth master looked at the ink on the paper roughly, nodded with a smile, picked up the tea bowl, and was silent for a long time, which solved the doubts in Erfu's heart.

Most of the things she suspected were real, and the fourth master also grasped the relevant truth and took precautions in advance.

This is also the reason why the fourth master proposed to let Fang Fang and Yuanyuan continue to stay in the mansion.

Otherwise, how could the fourth master, such a thoughtful person, let a child of an inner ghost stay with his child, and this pair of children is still very important to him.

Erfu patiently listened to the fourth master's explanation, and then raised a question: "Then why do Fang Fang and Yuan Yuan call him Daddy? According to Fang Fang and Yuan Yuan's age, they shouldn't be disrespectful, right?

The fourth master interrupted Erfu's words with a smile and explained in a low voice: "It shouldn't be.

Before, the results of the investigation sent Erbao to Shaoxing Mansion showed that Xiao Yixuan was old and standing, but he had no heirs, and invited many doctors to see him and his wife, but did not find out the reason.

And Fang Fang and Yuan Yuan appeared at his house a year ago.

According to his wife and handkerchief, these two children are the children of a white family found by Xiao Yixuan's eldest brother from the capital, and their parents are dead, and they have no relatives and no reason, so they were adopted by Xiao Yixuan as an adopted son and adopted daughter, inherited the family lineage, and were very favored/loved by their husband and wife.

Ye guessed that this time Fang Fang and Yuan Yuan were abducted and trafficked to the house of the housekeeper, it was a move arranged by the other party, the purpose was to send Xiao Yixuan to the eyes of the master, so that the master would take him to the house on an errand, and the two children should not have known, so when they saw Xiao Yixuan, their reaction was normal.

If you want to say that the only thing that is not quite right between these two children, that is, looking at Xiao Yixuan's expression, it is not so much like a father, but like looking at a more familiar person.

Ye suspected that they were not just two fatherless orphans like the news that Erbao had collected and returned, and maybe they were even looking for a chance to find their original relatives. In the end, the fourth master's eyes showed a fierce look, and the hands under the sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, as if they were going to pinch the two little dolls to death at any time.

"Probably not, they're just two children, how can they have so much thought!"

Erfu didn't believe in the judgment of the fourth master.

After all, the age of these two children is about the same as Xiao Qi and Hongxuan, in modern times, that is, two underage primary school students, Erfu recalled that when he was in elementary school, at most he was concerned about what to eat at school for lunch, how could he have so many eyes!

"Don't underestimate the children of those famous families in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places who have been passed down for generations, they all grew up watching those women in the inner house intrigue when they were young, and you don't have to be less of them!"

Compared with Yu Erfu's innocence, because the fourth master has participated in governance, he has read a lot of family secrets collected from the East Factory and the West Factory about those family secrets that have been inherited for more than a hundred years, and he has some understanding of the various selfish methods of his inner house, and he also let people secretly observe the words and deeds of these two children, and found that although the two children work hard to behave like children, their body and bearing and authentic official words are not something that can be cultivated by some families with insufficient background.

The combination of all kinds of doubts made the fourth master come to such a conclusion.

Erfu still couldn't believe that the two children had such brains, and was willing to believe the information collected by Erbao, treating them as two fatherless and motherless orphans.

In this regard, the fourth master did not bother much, what he liked was Erfu's innocence that had not changed for many years, he had seen too much deceit, too many intrigues, and too many sweethearts and bitterness.

"Alright!

Don't talk about these troubles, you have the master to worry about the things in the front yard, you just have to enjoy the flowers every day, study the clothes and jewelry. Thinking of this, the fourth master smiled and put the paper full of ink characters in Erfu into the incense burner and lit it, burned it to ashes, and said it aloud.

This is the legend that you are responsible for making money to support your family, and I am responsible for being beautiful like a flower!

Erfu thought about it with a smile, and finally shook his head, ran all the messy thoughts in his head to the back of his head, and said solemnly: "How can I be idle all day long, I still have to work hard to earn private money for Xiaoqi and earn a wife for Hongxuan!"

"Why is it so useless in the eyes of the master!

When the master opened the mansion, the old man gave me two thousand taels of silver to open the mansion, and when Hongxuan grew up, the lord promised to give him more, as for Xiao Qi, the lord would also let her marry in ten miles with red makeup and scenery. When the fourth master heard this, he smiled and pinched the tip of Erfu's nose and said in a low voice.

Erfu didn't refute the words of the fourth master, but just smiled and dodged the big hand of the fourth master, and said in a coquettish voice: "In addition to Xiao Qi and Hongxuan, what about Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er?"

Besides, what you give is what you give, and I can't be a dime a dime!"

"Good, good!

Our Guerjia side Fujin is the most angry mother-in-law, and she will definitely not treat her daughter-in-law badly in the future, and she will definitely save a large share of the family property for them to live.

But don't be tired, look at your little face and you're hungry!"

The fourth master didn't want to argue with Erfu about such a trivial matter, so he wasted a lot of time, so he interrupted Erfu's words slowly, and at the same time opened the topic, talking about the blonde and blue-eyed Western missionaries who had recently appeared in Beijing.

"Missionary?" Sure enough, Erfu was immediately attracted by the fourth master's words.

"Yes, it is said that they came from another continent tens of thousands of miles away, and all of them are blonde-haired, blue-eyed, and mumbling in their words. The fourth master praised him for his wisdom, and smiled and talked about the new things he had seen on the street before, but he didn't know that Erfu was thinking about the things beside him.

You must know that the missionaries from the West back then, the first step to open up the situation was to give porridge and medicine, not only to help the poor everywhere, but also to teach the children of those poor families to read and write, so that those poor people respected them as gods, and they all changed their religious beliefs, and finally entered the eyes of the leader of this country, the old man Kangxi, and gave them official titles, so that these blonde and blue-eyed missionaries became the guests of the whole country.

Although Erfu has no religious beliefs, and believes that any religious belief leads people to goodness, she doesn't like these blonde and blue-eyed people to come to this continent, which means that this rich land has appeared in the eyes of those robbers and bandits who knock on the country with guns and cannons, and she is afraid that the history of humiliation will be staged in advance because of her.

"Speaking of which, what a strange way they dressed, their robes did not look like robes, their clothes did not look like clothes, and they had a cross around their necks, and they opened their mouths to be Amen, and when they closed their mouths, they loved the world, and they took some strange snacks, and they took people and put them in their hands, and they put ...... in their hands. ”

The fourth master, who was sitting on the side and talking energetically, did not notice Erfu's mind, and had already drifted to an unknown space, until Erfu stood up straight and trembled with horror, then he stopped talking, came to Erfu with some worry, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, but what's uncomfortable?"

"No, no......

I guess I didn't eat lunch, so I'm a little dizzy, so I'll just eat something. ”

Erfu didn't know how to tell the fourth master, now these people who you look ridiculous have finally become the guides of those Western powers, leading a large number of robbers to invade this fertile and lush land, not only burning, killing and looting, but also forcing you, the leaders of the Qing court, to cede land and pay reparations, lose power and humiliate the country, and become sinners of history and a disgrace to the nation.

had to make an excuse casually, staggered away from the arms of the fourth master, and walked straight to the east.

There is a document she has carefully sorted out, which is a superficial plan about governing the country and strengthening the people that she racked her brains to come up with.

The country is rich and the people are strong, and the people are rich and the country is rich.

Only when everyone is well fed and clothed, and does not worry about their livelihood, will the country be truly strong, the huge gap between the rich and the poor can only plunge the country into an endless civil war, and the weapons also need to be improved, it can't be that she is such a traverser who has come to this era, and let the people of the big country use their chests to block the enemy's guns!

Pity...... She's not a military fan, she doesn't know how guns are designed!

But it doesn't matter to her, the development of history is traceable, as long as the country has money, military matters, naturally there are special people to study.

By the way, she can stuff all those missionaries into the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, and wake up those old men who are still immersed in the era of cold weapons.

"Master, what are you saying that those missionaries are giving clothes and medicine for?" Thinking of this, Erfu's heart must have been determined, and he looked back at the fourth master with a worried face with a smile, and asked in a low voice.

"Who knows, those barbarians are always different from our normal people's ideas. Seeing that Erfu had returned to normal, the fourth master smiled all of a sudden, hurriedly caught up, and said disapprerovingly.

"Don't underestimate the missionaries from the West, okay?

Anyone has strengths, even the most inconspicuous beggar on the street, he may know some secrets that you don't know, and if you look down on others too blindly, you will suffer sooner or later.

I remember reading a sentence in a book that we should despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically, which means that from the overall level, we must establish the belief that we will win, and we should be cautious and prudent in making decisions on specific operational arrangements.

The first half of the sentence refers to being confident and not afraid of opponents, and the second half of the sentence is to take it seriously, not to be sloppy and conceited. Regarding the blind confidence of the fourth master, Erfu stroked his forehead helplessly, quoted a sentence from the great man, and said seriously.

"What kind of books are you reading here?" But obviously, the fourth master was a standard machismo, and he didn't pay attention to Erfu's words of persuasion at all, but instead grabbed what Erfu said and raised the question in his heart.

"It's those notebooks that you sent me, and I forgot they were in that book. Erfu shook her head with a sudden decrease in interest, talked nonsense casually, and walked straight to the east after speaking, ignoring the fourth master again.

This confused man......

It seems that even if she puts the plan that may expose her identity as a traverser into the hands of the fourth master, this fourth master will not pay attention to it, but will guard against her, thinking of this, Erfu is really a little depressed, if only she were a man, at least pinch her nose and gnaw on the eight strands, maybe she can also mix up an official and a half-job, so that it can also promote the course of history, so that when the Eight-Nation Alliance comes, the dignified power will not be completely powerless to fight back!

The more she thought about it, the more bored Erf became, took out the pumpkin cake stored in the cupboard, and bit it down, as if she was really hungry.

"What's wrong with you?" said that the fourth master looked at such an abnormal Erfu, and finally sensed that something was wrong, walked quickly to Erfu, and asked urgently.

"Nothing!

I just think that those who are not of my race will have different hearts, and those missionaries who give clothes and medicine everywhere to help the poor people in our country will not be simply kind!"
