Chapter 310: Means

Chapter 310

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the fourth master walked out of the mansion wearing a satin cloak with silver ripples, and was just about to take the reins from Su Peisheng's hand, when he saw the girl who was rescued from the door of Yihong Mansion yesterday, with long hair like a bird's nest, a small face the size of a palm, a pair of red and swollen autumn eyes, and kneeling by the shadow wall of his fourth master's mansion in a tattered dress.

The fourth master glanced at the guard who was in charge of guarding at the gate of the mansion unhappily, and then threw Su Peisheng a look that stepped forward to help people, and stood in place with the reins of the horse, looking down at the delicate girl with an uncertain expression.

"Girl!

What's wrong with you, get up with our family!" Su Peisheng stepped forward with a low body, because he was not sure of the identity of the other party, his movements and tone were a little more respectful, and he cautiously reached out and handed it to the woman, and said softly.

Tian Tiantian raised her palm-sized face, looked at the fourth master who was standing not far away, and before she could speak, she fell into two huge tears, which smashed on the ground paved with bluestone slabs, showing grievances and helplessness, which caused Su Peisheng, a eunuch who was used to holding high and stepping low, to soften his heart.

"The little girl begged the fourth master for help!" Tian Tian ignored Su Peisheng's outstretched friendly hand, bowed heavily, and stared at a pair of watery eyes like obsidian carving with tiredness and helplessness in her voice, and whispered.

"Why do you say this?" the fourth master looked at the time of the pocket watch in his hand and said impatiently.

Tian Tiantian hurriedly explained her situation in a few words, and told the bitter story of how she escaped from home with great difficulty, and how she was sold by her brother and sister-in-law to a passing merchant as a concubine for a few taels of silver. Perfectly restored, it is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.

But as her target task, the fourth master just threw down a sentence with a grin: "You are a Manchurian, this kind of thing can be found in the Zongren Mansion." Presumably, Zong Ling is very willing to purge those useless things among the children of the Eight Banners. ”

After speaking, the fourth master didn't even wait for Na Tian Tian to say more, he had already turned over and rode away.

Su Peisheng shrugged helplessly, stuffed a purse with more than a dozen silver horns on his waist into Tian Tiantian's hand, and then sighed and chased after him.

Watching the handsome and extraordinary back disappear into the faint mist, Tian Tiantian smiled bitterly and looked at the dazzling landing lion and the gilded huge plaque. Secretly rubbed his knees, which were already stiff on his knees, and his expression was vague like a poisonous snake in the grass, wondering whether to choose another way to enter the house.

A scene outside the gates of this house. didn't leave too deep an impression in the fourth master's heart, as the fourth master who didn't want to meddle in the affairs of other people's people at all, if he hadn't looked at the girl's pitiful and drunken strength, he should have directly asked someone to send news to the idle uncles of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division yesterday.

As for this one. Why did the girl run to the door of his house and kneel for help? He conspiratorially thought it was a trap set for him by his restless brothers, so he turned a blind eye and left.

Otherwise, the gentlemanly fourth master would never just leave a poor weak woman alone, and if it didn't work, he would arrange for the little eunuch to go with the girl, so that the brother and sister-in-law in the girl's family would stop a little.

I have to say that it is up to man to make things happen. If it was a few years ago, Tian Tiantian's tricks would have worked, but now...... The heart of the heart said hehe.

The way into the house. It seems out of reach.

However, she is bent on winning the exclusive favor of the fourth master, and washing away the shame that she has not been able to fight an ancient ignorant woman. Let Tian Tiantian forget the difficulties in front of her without caring at all, and even have extraordinary courage and persistence, and have the indomitable spirit of becoming a benevolent if she does not succeed.

All roads lead to Rome.

Originally, Tian Tiantian planned to start with the fourth master to enter the house, but she wanted to be familiar with the fourth master, which would also be conducive to her great cause of climbing the bed, but now it is just a little more stumbling block on her way to success.

After listening to the government at the imperial gate, the fourth master walked around the ministry, and then returned to the mansion, looking at the empty and clean gate of the mansion, it was rare to show a trace of doubt.

However, what soon followed, the fourth master left behind the little doubts caused by Tian Tiantian.

......

At the end of May, when the sun seemed to be scorching everything on the ground, Erfu wore a light Hangzhou silk flag suit, with a simple comb and neat little head, followed by Yujing, who was carrying a gilt curling curling, holding her embryonic belly, and accompanying the Ulanara clan to walk through the flowery garden and talk.

In the distance, five or six maids holding pulp and laundry to each courtyard hurriedly turned the path to greet them.

"Slave maid, please Fu Jin, side Fu Jin'an!" The soft voice was as comfortable as a breeze blowing across the water, and Erfu narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and sent a smile to the Ulanala clan.

Wulanala twisted his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at a few maids, "Why are you sending clothes to the courtyards at this time!"

The maid who looked beautiful and elegant hooked the corners of her lips helplessly under the purging of several other little maids, "The slave maid and the maid helped the rough maid to dismantle and wash the bedding sent by each courtyard under the instructions of the housekeeper, and if you are not careful, you will miss the hour, and please forgive Fu Jin!"

Although the little maid looks good, she doesn't have a trace of invasiveness, plus she is a bird that has been pushed out, and the Wulanala clan doesn't want to embarrass her, she raised her hand slightly, motioned for everyone to get up, and said softly: "It's not a big deal, you don't have to be so careless, I and Fang Fujin are here to enjoy the scenery and the garden, you guys are busy!"

Immediately, Ulanala and Erfu left the flower bush made of delicate bonsai with the thanksgiving of the maids, and turned to walk towards the low flower tree not far away.

The cobblestone path was flat, but it was not easy to walk, not to mention that Erph was a pregnant woman with a big belly, and she walked very carefully, but she didn't want to step on a mossy blue pebble in the end, and she hit the flower stand on the side.

It's too late, it's too soon.

The little maid, who had just knelt ten paces away, crawled under Erf's body, and supported her arms despite the delicate little face pierced by the blooming flowers on the flower stand, and acted as a humanoid air cushion.

Erph's sudden distress. The Ulanala clan was also frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Master, how are you feeling?" Yu Jing looked at Erfu's pale little face. Nervously asked.

Erfu shook his head slightly, looked at the blue pebble that was stepped on under his feet, and then looked at the paved and smooth cobblestone path, a mocking smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he sent a reassuring look to the Ulanala clan, and turned around and let Yujing pick up the stone and put it away.

"Looks like someone doesn't give up!" said the Ulanara clan, naturally noticing Erf's movements, as if teasingly.

I don't think so. The person who was said did not answer.

The little maid who saved Erfu pursed her mouth with a disgruntled face, her round apricot eyes were so wide that she almost flew out, and said sharply: "Fang Fujin was frightened just now." Why don't you go back and rest first?"

After saying that, the little girl didn't forget to throw a 'you are a bad person' look at the Ulanala clan, which made the Ulanala clan angry and funny.

The angry maid recklessly accused her of being a concubine Fujin without knowing it, and laughed that this maid was too sincere. I can't even see through this little bit of superficial calculation. Dare to rush forward.

In the end, it was her Ulanala clan who was becoming more and more peaceful these days, otherwise just with the girl's accusatory eyes, she would have been able to make the maid understand the seriousness of the mistakes she had made.

"I'm fine here, but you're ......," Erf said, looking at the little maid's blood-piercing little arm, and twisting her eyebrows.

The little maid seemed to realize that the wound on her arm was bleeding, hugged her arm and shook her head, and muttered in a strong and distressed voice: "Fang Fujin doesn't have to worry, the slave will go back and take some gold sore medicine later!"

The voice fell. The little maid was about to lean over and leave.

And the other little maid who was with the little maid to deliver clothes to each courtyard screamed loudly, as if she had seen something scary. Pointing to the brocade clothes on the ground, he couldn't even say a decent word.

Seeing this, the little maid who saved people changed her face, and she couldn't take care of the Fujin Wulanala clan and the side Fujin Guerjia clan who were still standing there next to her, and sat on the ground like a mourning exam, and wanted to cry without tears and hugged the big placket of blue embroidered orchid grass and green bamboo that had never been on her body, and fell into a strange circle of thoughts.

"Let someone send the streamer brocade that the fourth master sent to me before to Wu Gege, and say that I have taken a fancy to her new clothes!"

Yu Jingying claimed that it was, and explained that Yu Han took good care of Erfu, so she called the little maid who was still sitting on the ground in a daze and went to the west courtyard.

The Ulanala clan smiled noncommittally at this, turned around and whispered two words to Mama Fu.

This little maid's rescue seems to be a trivial matter, and it is considered a collision to death, but Erfu is not a little girl who has just entered the palace, so she naturally does not feel that there is a coincidence in this deep mansion compound.

Even if it was a coincidence, she didn't think that a little maid had the potential to be so loyal to the Lord.

Paid a streamer brocade for the little maid to Wu Gege, and rewarded a few silver bills, Erfu left this matter behind, and also lost the mood of admiring the flowers in the garden, followed the Wulanala clan back to the main courtyard, and listened to the results of Mama Fu's investigation.

The pebbles are ordinary things, by the big river and the stream, it can really be seen everywhere, not to mention that the fourth master's mansion is recently trimming a viewing road from the west garden to the small garden in the backyard, which is used in red, blue, purple, yellow, white pebbles, are piled up in the small yard in the corner of the back garden.

The small courtyard was stocked with flower shovels used by gardeners, brooms used by rough maids, etc., which were never locked on weekdays, and even if there were so many pebbles, it was a place where everyone could enter.

The things that can be obtained at your fingertips greatly conceal the identity of the person who did it.

Up to Fujin, Gege, down to the maid, mother-in-law, as long as it is a person in the house, there is a suspicion, and in this era, there is no high-end and high-grade thing like a monitor, so if that person doesn't shoot anymore, Erfu's dumb loss will be decided.

Erfu, who didn't expect to catch the other party, didn't mean to be disappointed, turned his eyes to look at the Ulanala clan, and the two said in unison: "What is the origin of that maid?"

The Ulanala clan couldn't help but be a little curious about Erfu's suspicion of the little maid who saved her, and even stopped Mama Fu from wanting to speak, and turned her eyes and asked, "That maid is a loyal servant who sacrificed his life to save you, why are you so ungrateful so quickly?"

“...... Fu Jin called me out for a walk, that maid saved me, and also saved you, otherwise even if you don't say it, you will doubt you in your heart! Speaking of which, this little maid is also your savior, why are you so ungrateful to doubt the identity of that little maid so quickly?" Erph sneered, only the smile in the corner of her eyes revealed her good mood, it was a smile affirmed by the master, and it was a kind of excitement to finally become an apprentice.

"Your mouth is getting sharper and sharper, be careful of having a little broken mouth!" Wulanala stroked the jade bracelet with a lotus pattern on his wrist, replied with a smile, and turned his eyes to look at Yuhan and Mama Fu and others who were also full of black lines on their heads, signaling that Mama Fu could speak.

Mama Fu stepped forward and bowed, and replied respectfully: "The old slave asked people to check the records of the laundry room slaves in the house, and found that the maid was brought into the house by Mrs. Lin a few days ago, and it was not a maid who was bought seriously, or a palace maid transferred by the Internal Affairs Office, but a living deed signed.

The old slave felt that something was wrong with this, so he asked him to talk to Mrs. Lin, who led people into the house, and found that the girl was not only a free maid who had signed a living contract, but also a draft girl who was seriously born in Manchuria.

It is said that the girl is a lovely character, the brother and sister-in-law in the family are too harsh, and she has the heart to sell her to the merchants who come to Beijing to sell silk, tea and other things as a concubine, so it is impossible to ask Mrs. Lin, who lives in her back street, to do a favor and come to Baylor's Mansion to ask for a place to protect herself. ”

"What a miserable man!" said Erph, casually.

The Manchu and Han did not intermarry, not only for the royal family and nobles, but also for the children of the Manchurian Eight Banners, and there were very few Manchus in Jiangnan and other places, even if there were a few Manchus who went there to develop, they would never be a businessman, so this matter is against the law at all.

That girl can ask her mother-in-law who has worked hard in the house for half her life to come forward and lead her into the house, that is naturally a smart person who can speak kindly, if she is treated so harshly by her brother and sister-in-law at home, it can even be regarded as a practice, you can find the Zongren Mansion to come forward to call the shots, why do you need to sell yourself so contemptuously to be a maid in the house.

The most terrifying thing is that this girl can actually say that the housekeeper and the mother signed a living contract with her.

What kind of character is the housekeeper, she is a top person who has been immersed in the palace for half her life, and she is definitely not a soft-hearted virgin, and it is simply an act of death to blatantly violate the rules of the house for such a small person as her.

Not only that, she sold herself to serve in the house, but she was not a little maid who did rough work, and she was mixed with the fine work of delivering clothes to various courtyards, which obviously also got the eyes of the laundry room.

If there was only one of them, Elof would think that she was too pitiful.

But after such a toss, those people can make concessions for her, or protect her, this maid's means are not superb. (To be continued......)
