Chapter One Thousand and Forty-Six

As Erff finished speaking, the ledgers were sent to each of them, and she gossiped with the women, and then gave the women an eviction order with a smile on her face.

"Then the concubine body will not bother Fujin. The three side Fujin who held the ledger and the pair of cards smiled and bowed their knees and retired.

Seeing the three of them leave, Erf covered her lips and yawned as she walked into the inner room.

She is not greedy for money, does not love power, and is not willing to stay up late to be the housekeeper of the fourth master's mansion, watching the girls like flowers and bones being carried into the house, since someone likes to share the work for her, she will pick some irrelevant to divide it, left and right are these small errands in the house, as long as the shops outside and the account books of Zhuangzi are in hand, it is enough for her to sit firmly in the position of Fu Jin.

However, she didn't want to explain these words to others, and she didn't want to waste more lips and tongues, so when Shilan and Shiqing came to persuade her, she just smiled and perfunctory a few words and asked people to wait outside, took the patterns she had drawn two days ago, and sat on the Luohan bed by the window in the east room, doing embroidery with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

The more years she has been here, the more she feels like she is doing as the locals feel.

At least the needlework she was most impatient to do is now a good pastime for her to pass the time, sitting on the sun-drenched Luohan bed, beside her a delicate brocade box full of various colors of silk threads, holding a thin embroidery needle in her hand, looking at the patterns gradually revealed on the juan yarn, it is also a unique enjoyment.

It would be better if there weren't those obnoxious women in the backyard, Erf thought to herself.

In fact, a man who values the rules like the fourth master does not like to meddle in the trivial matters of the backyard women, but because he knows Erfu's temperament and ability too well, this makes Zhang Bao and others pay more attention to the backyard.

"Did you see anything wrong with the account book that Master asked Chen Fu to check before?" Listening to the news from the backyard, the fourth master remembered the account book he brought back casually, and turned his head to Su Peisheng and asked.

When Su Peisheng heard this, he hurriedly replied: "When I returned to my master's words, I didn't see anything wrong. ”

"In that case, hurry up and give the account book to your Fujin master and send it back. The fourth master didn't take this kind of trivial matter to heart, and casually commanded, and then returned his attention to the newspaper in his hand.

With the fourth master's order, although Su Peisheng couldn't get out, he didn't dare to delay, and took advantage of the time to refill the tea for the fourth master, casually grabbed a little eunuch who was passing by in front of the study, and asked the little eunuch to send a message to Chen Fu.

"Let it go!" After receiving the account book sent back by Chen Fu to the little eunuch, Erfu did not raise his head and ordered Shilan to send a reward, so he asked Shilan to lock the unsightly account book into a secret compartment in the study, where there were all the account books from all over the house, some of which Erfu had already read, Shilan and others had not yet re-copied, and some of which she had not yet read.

Erfu told Shilan to put away the account book, and did the embroidery work for a while, and then stretched her waist and went to the study.

In fact, as Chang Fujin, she really didn't have a moment of leisure from morning to night, just saying that the account books sent to her for review everywhere were enough to be half a person tall and a thick stack, but this ancient bookkeeping method was very cumbersome, and with those traditional Chinese characters, it was enough for Erfu to be dizzy, she always looked at the account book for a while and had to do something else slowly, so unless it was a particularly important place of account books, most of the account books, Erfu was pressed for a month to look at it slowly, but even so, she still inevitably wanted to be lazy sometimes。

Because of this, there is a practice of this Erfu to share the middle feed among the three side Fujin.

Rather than her working hard for these things in the house alone, so that these rivals in love can set aside a lot of time to dress up beautifully to seduce the fourth master, it is better for the big guys to work hard.

As for whether she was worried that the three side Fujin would take the opportunity to insert people's eyeliner everywhere, she could only sneer and smile.

Even if she holds the power of the family and doesn't let go, these people want to win over the palace maid to run errands for herself, can she stop it, and there is the master of the fourth master holding the sticky rod above, even if she entrusts all these rights in her hands, these women in the backyard can't turn the sky.

Stupid women against women, smart women against men.

Although Erf is not smart, she is not stupid, and she will not become a foolish woman who clings to power and does not let go.

It's just that everyone has their own aspirations, and Erfu's opinions don't represent the opinions of other women in the backyard, at least Tong Jia's and Wulanara's Ruixi, Li Hezhu Li Fang Fujin and the three of them were not exempt from vulgarity, and the cards that Erfu handed over to them were not hot, so they were already busy calling the housekeepers to their own children's yards to lecture, Li Hezhu Li Fang Fujin personally ran to the needlework room and the Huan Washroom, obviously some of the feeling of holding chicken feathers as arrows, and also changed the housekeeper who had been operating in the Huan Wash for many years, and somehow promoted an inconspicuous little palace maid to be responsible.

These news were reported to Erfu by Shilan and Shiqing.

In this regard, Erfu just smiled, and threw it behind her mind as if she hadn't heard it at all, since she handed over everything to the three side Fujin to be in charge, she wouldn't interfere anymore, just let Zhao Dezhu arrange smart eyeliner to keep an eye on, and don't make too much of a mess.

Leaving aside the mess of rumors outside, Elof once again focused on the filthy books.

She flipped through the ledger that was stained at some point, flipped through the pages, suddenly stopped the movements in her hand, and instructed Shilan, who was standing next to the bookcase, who was grinding ink: "Shilan, don't be busy grinding ink, find me a larger piece of thin rice paper." ”

With that, she took a pair of scissors from the pen holder and cut the cotton thread that bound the book.

Erfu quickly emptied the clutter on the table, arranged the open account books according to the numbers on the footers, and took the translucent rice paper that Shilan had found and spread them on the pages of the account books.

This is a letter of complaint written in large characters.

After a while, Erff rubbed down the strange lines that seemed familiar and a little unfamiliar, and finally saw the original appearance of those stains, which should have been someone who had opened all the account books before her, and used special non-visible ink to leave the blank space in the account books, and in a half-and-half way, each word was divided into four halves and written upside down on the adjacent two pages, because these lines are Chinese character strokes, although they are not formed, but they will still leave people with a very familiar feeling, and only by dismantling the account book, re-rubbing, and then turning the rubbed paper, can the complete content of the complaint letter be clearly seen。

Kangxi is a thriving emperor, from the eldest brother to the eighteenth elder brother, there are so many in the jade alone, excluding those who died at an early age, or who were excluded from the throne for various reasons, and there are double-digit princes who have been involved in the bloody road of seizing the heir.

The eighth, ninth, tenth and the lame fourteenth are collectively known as the Eight Masters.

Although now that the eighth has fallen, and for some reason died in the imprisoned village, it seems that the Eight Masters have fallen apart, but as the old saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the ninth and tenth are not full rice buckets, nor are they really willing to decline.

When there was no Lao Ba, the ruler of the overthrow, they set their targets on the little brothers behind, but the old eight were really defenseless against the two good brothers, in fact, otherwise, when the old nine and the tenth attacked the old eight in order to get out, the back hand arranged by the eighth had a role.

This letter of complaint that was suddenly placed on Erfu's desk was the back hand left by the eighth.

The eighth, in fact, is not as gentle as jade as he appears, he is a very selfish person in his bones, he seems to have unconditional trust in the old nine and the old ten, in fact, there are nails and eyeliner around the two, when the old nine and the old ten discussed and decided to cut the grass and eradicate the root of the eight, although the eighth was powerless to resist, but still found a way to send a message to his loyal servant who stayed in the dark.

Lao Jiu and Lao Shi are not valued by Emperor Kangxi, but they are real princes and grandsons.

The loyal servant left in the dark by the eighth child is a small person who is mixed in the market, he is not able to get rid of the two princes to avenge his old master, so he has been mixed with the fourth master in a village on the outskirts of Beijing several times, and with his good bookkeeping skills, he has become the bookkeeper of the village.

When Erfu saw the complaint, the loyal servant who had delivered the complaint to Erfu's desk had already gone to Jiangnan and left the capital for good.

"It's really royalty. Erph sneered at the letter of complaint in front of her.

This kind of private secrets related to the matter of seizing the heir are by no means something that a backyard lady like Erfu can get involved in, so she just looked at it, folded the rice paper and stuffed it into an envelope and sealed it, and at the same time glued the rebound suspicious account book with wax and oil page by page, and then handed it to Zhao Dezhu, and told him to send it to the study in the front yard immediately.

Before, the fourth master was grounded because he was responsible for supervising the eighth child, and he was stained with fish.

Although it did not completely fall because of this matter, she was still suspicious of Emperor Kangxi, but because the results of the investigation had nothing to do with the fourth master, this can be regarded as escaping a catastrophe, and now there is this most conclusive evidence in front of her, of course, she can't wait to present it to Emperor Kangxi immediately, but she still puts the right to make decisions into the hands of the fourth master, after all, this kind of thing, she is not as deep as the fourth master, and it is inevitable that it is easy to be calculated by those princes who have received elite education.

The fourth master in the front yard received the account book and envelope sent by Erfu, and was stunned at first, and then angrily kicked the bookcase.

He didn't suspect his own brother, but he suspected the third emperor brother Yinzhi who was with Qingliu, he suspected that the fifth emperor brother Yinqi who seemed to be light and indifferent to the matter of seizing the heir, and even the seventh emperor brother Yinyou, who was physically disabled and was excluded from the matter of seizing the heir, but he only did not suspect that the old nine and the tenth were so good that they wore the same pants, because in his opinion, the old nine and the old ten are the right and left hands of the eight, who would have thought that one day the left and right hands of the old man could betray him, he is not worth it for the old eight who has died into scum, and he is also not worth it for his trust in the old nine and the old ten......

"Mr. Dai, please. After the anger, he was overly calm, and the fourth master sat in the re-packed study, fiddling with the envelope in his hand with an indifferent expression, and commanded coldly.

The death of the eighth child has passed in time.

He wasn't sure if it was right or wrong to stir up this now, so he needed to ask his think tank, Mr. Dai.

Dai Duo lived next to him in the courtyard, and when he got Su Peisheng's message, he hurriedly packed up and rushed over, when he saw this oversized complaint letter, his face was also full of shock, but he was not a party in the end, so he couldn't understand the anger of the fourth master, so he calmed down faster, and considered the pros and cons of this matter from an outsider's eye, and finally his face was solemn, and he arched his hand at the fourth master and said:" This matter should not be publicized, because we have no evidence, only this letter that I don't know if it is true or false, if the emperor believes it, it is okay, a detailed investigation, there will be something to gain, even if the real murderer in the letter can not be caught, but in the end it is not involved in the master's body, but if the emperor does not believe it, then someone will attack you is planting blame. ”

"What about Mr.'s opinion?" asked the fourth master with a cold calm face.

"Wait, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and there is no trick that cannot be broken, but the letter is something to say, you arrange to keep an eye on it, and you can always find some clues, and when you find it, you will go to the emperor again, and it is better than sending such a letter recklessly. Dai Duo refolded the rice paper, put it back in the envelope, handed it back to the fourth master's bookcase and put it away, holding the green beard with confidence, and gave his own suggestions.

The fourth master also had this idea, but he still inevitably felt a little uneasy, he put the envelope containing the complaint letter in the secret compartment and put it away, sat back on the Taishi chair behind the bookcase, trembled his hands, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath fiercely, as if he was about to spit out his heart and sulked in a deep voice: " That's all according to what Mr. said, but when he thought that his brothers were such people who didn't care about sibling affection, he felt a chill down his spine, Mr. accompanied him all the way to this day, and he thought about knowing how the relationship between the three of them was, better than siblings, but he didn't expect that they would choose to abandon the eighth brother so decisively after the eighth was abolished. With that, his fist-clenched hand slammed into the table.

"Everyone has selfishness, the ninth master and the tenth master are the princes, and there is more maternal family behind them, compared to the prince born to the eighth master, the prince born to the servant girl of the Xin Zhiku is much more noble, how can he be willing to sink with the eighth master, the love of the past may be true, but in the end it is difficult to defeat the selfish practice of flying separately when the disaster comes. Dai Duo saw this clearly, he sneered and pushed open the empty window, let the warm sunlight outside the window shine in the study, and said with his back to the fourth master sitting behind the bookcase.
