Aside from the red envelopes given by these outsiders, there are a lot of red envelopes that she gives out during the New Year's holidays.

Not to mention others, it's Shilan and their close palace maids, just the gold and silver jewelry and body silver that Erfu has rewarded over the years, which has also made them have a lot of private property, and they have become little rich women one by one.

Thinking about it like this, it seems that there is nothing unacceptable about Mama Qin's purchase of property.

But even if she thought about it well, she still felt a sense of jealousy and envy when she thought that these people could earn such a rich family property after serving in the mansion for a few years.

Thinking of this, Erfu hated and said, "When your master and I are so poor that I have nothing to eat, I will ask you to support me." ”

"Master, you are making fun of the slaves and maidservants again. When Shilan and the others heard this, they replied in unison.

To this, Erf only had two hehes left to answer.

Here, she was still immersed in the depressed feeling that she had been hollowed out of her private money, and the fourth master came over.

The fourth master walked into the hall quickly, and at a glance he saw his little Nizi sitting there sulking unhappily, and asked loudly: "Who is this who has made Fujin unhappy, say it, and the master will teach them a lesson." ”

"Nope. Erph replied sullenly.

After speaking, she was a little annoyed that she had put on such a black face to greet the fourth master, and she tried very hard to pull out a smile, and then said: "Actually, it's nothing, but I haven't found time to rest all day, and I'm a little sleepy at this time, and I'm a little irritable in my heart." ”

"That's good, who do you think you're angry again!" the fourth master smiled and sat down beside Erfu.

"I'm not angry, where can I be popular every day, I'm a dignified Fujin, if anyone dares to be angry with me, I will order someone to punish her, slap her mouth, crackle the board, and then the fourth master should not feel too sorry for them. Erfu listened to the fourth master's concern, and her heart was sweet, but she still refused to give in, and she looked like she was going to be rude and show you, and joked with a smile in her eyes.

"I feel sorry for you. The fourth master smiled and cooperated.

"Yes, why do I think you're so good at coaxing people today, shouldn't it be honey!" Hearing this, Erfu deliberately put on a very suspicious look, looked up and down at the fourth master who was sitting across the square table from him, and teased softly.

"You just talk nonsense!" For such a naughty Erfu, the fourth master deliberately raised his face and said in a deep voice.

Erfu didn't care about the stalls, no longer playing with the fourth master, and asked softly: "Is the master washing first, or eating first, it's not too early, if it is delayed, the sky outside will be completely dark." ”

In fact, she had just noticed that it was so late, and she had eaten breakfast one day and was dying of hunger.

When the fourth master heard this, he said with a smile: "Let's eat first, the master is really a little hungry, today I accompanied the emperor to Xishan, and then accompanied the emperor to go around outside the front door. ”

"Cheng, it just so happens that I'm hungry too, so let's let Shilan set the meal first. Hearing this, Erph said with a smile.

Saying this, she waved her hand at Shilan, and Shilan didn't need Erfu's instructions anymore, she curtsied, and led the other palace maids to get busy.

The table should be set up, the wet cloth should be prepared, the tea should be served, the small kitchen food box should be served to the small kitchen, a large round table was placed in the hall room, Erfu and the fourth master were successively cleaned by the palace maid with a copper basin, and then rinsed their mouths with tea, and sat side by side at the table.

Shilan, who went to the small kitchen to pick up the food box, had also set up all the dishes and meals with the help of other palace maids.

Erfu loves home-cooked food, Xiaoshengzi is also well versed in this, two meat, two vegetarian four dishes and a rather light crucian carp tofu soup, two plates of finely chopped cold vegetables, and then with a bowl of warm japonica rice, eating is particularly refreshing, Erfu loves to eat, the fourth master also loves to eat, otherwise the fourth master will not come to the main courtyard on time every day to eat with Erfu.

Both of them are starving today.

One is that he has eaten breakfast in the morning, and he is hungry and accompanied the emperor all over Beijing.

One is that I haven't eaten a main meal since I had a breakfast in the morning, and I only ate two pieces of dim sum.

The meal was arranged, and the two of them still didn't need to be served by the palace maids, they picked up the rice bowl, the chopsticks were flying, and they didn't even have a space for chatting.

When Erfu was full of food and drink, he put down his chopsticks, and the fourth master also put down his chopsticks.

She looked at the ivory chopsticks that were not completely put back on the chopsticks rest, and teased softly: "If I didn't know your identity, I would have thought I saw a refugee, you have been hungry for a few meals, and you can't even hold the chopsticks steadily!" After speaking, she raised her finger and pointed to the fourth master's pair of crooked chopsticks on the table, her face was full of smiles, because such a gaffe is rare, at least in the years she has been in the house, it is the first time she has seen such a fourth master who has forgotten the rules.

The fourth master touched his nose a little embarrassed, quickly put the chopsticks back on the chopsticks rest, dropped the sentence "Ye went to wash" and ran towards the clean room like a fly, no matter how you look at it, there is a feeling of running away.

She looked at the back of the fourth master, got up with a smile, and at the same time did not forget to tell Shilan to go to the kitchen to get a few plates of snacks to prepare.

"It seems that the fourth master is really hungry today. She muttered to herself, came to the study, and prepared pen, ink and paper for the fourth master.

This is also the habit of the fourth master for many years, and he has to write dozens of big characters every day.

Originally, Su Peisheng was in charge of this errand of grinding ink and laying paper, but as she entered the mansion for a long time, she had never liked the palace maids and servants circling around, so she took over this errand little by little.

A piece of rice paper as fine as jade and silk, neatly laid, finely ground ink filled the inkstone, went to the clean room to wash the fourth master, has also changed into a homely robe, he tied a belt, while walking to the study, he walked to the side of the bookcase to study the ink, long arms, then took Erfu into his arms, the other hand on the desk on the stack of account books, asked in a low voice: "This is the day to check and reconcile accounts again?"

"No, it's long past the day of monthly reconciliation!" Erph shook her head slightly.

"Then why are these ledgers still piled up here, could it be that you are lazy again, waiting for the master to come over and do hard labor!" The fourth master didn't notice the cold color that flashed in Erfu's eyes, and flipped through the ledger casually, laughing and teasing.

"How can I, the concubine, be so unprofessional, this is a few days ago, it was delayed, and today I let people move from the warehouse, I can't finish watching it for a while, and I didn't let them move back and forth, so I let people put it here first. Erfu pushed away the arm that the fourth master put on his waist, hid to the side with some disgust, and replied softly.

The fourth master asked casually, and when he saw that Erfu was avoiding his own closeness, he walked behind the bookcase, rolled up his sleeves and went to practice calligraphy.

Erfu finished the ink, and did not keep poking next to the bookcase, but sat by the window with a smile and read the account book.

Such a thick stack of account books, that is, a month's expenditure accounts in various parts of the house, although she has made up her mind to let Mr. Accounts enter the house to account, but she still wants to take a look at it first, especially a few more important accounts in the house, if she doesn't take a look at it herself, so that she knows it in her heart, she is really afraid that the results checked by Mr. Ledger will be unacceptable.

The speed of this kind of rough reading is different from the speed of detailed accounting, and it is simply a bull to fly.

Erfu flipped through the ledger like this, and was stunned to make the sound of the paper rubbing the pages the only sound in the room, but it made the fourth master who practiced words on the side a little unable to find the rhythm, the fourth master practiced words to calm down, the most taboo frizz, with the sound that Erf made, how could he make himself calm down......

The fourth master twisted his eyebrows and looked at the few big characters on the paper with some floating strokes, put down the pen sullenly, and sat on the chair behind the bookcase with a dejected face.

It's not that the noise he made is annoying, it's that he's blaming himself for not being calm enough to be disturbed by external objects so easily.

And Erfu, who was looking through the account book by the window, finished flipping through an account book at the speed of light, and when he looked up to change the account book, he noticed that the fourth master, who usually had to practice big characters for half an hour, was sitting on the chair in a daze at this time, and hurriedly asked: "Why don't you practice calligraphy today, shouldn't I disturb you!"

"It's you who disturbed the master, but I don't blame you, or the master's heart is not focused and calm enough. ”

"What?" Erfu was a little suspicious that there was something wrong with his ears, why couldn't he understand what the fourth master said, what does this practice have to do with concentration and whether the heart is calm, is this the reason why the fourth master can become a master, and he can only be a rice worm......

The fourth master grinned bitterly, and sighed: "Forget it, I won't practice calligraphy today, let's take a look at the account book with you!" After speaking, he reached out and took a book that Erfu hadn't read yet, and slowly flipped through it.

"It's rare that the fourth master can give up the habit of practicing calligraphy for many years to accompany me to read the account book, then I'm welcome!" Erfu smiled and moved the chair to the side of the bookcase, and then moved the account book to the bookcase, and quickly came to the front of the fourth master, and said with a smile.

After speaking, she handed a cup of hot tea to the fourth master, and tried her best to pat the horse.

"Your flattering appearance, you're really catching up with Su Peisheng!" The fourth master teased angrily and funny, but he still took the hot tea handed over by Erfu and took a sip gently, living up to Erfu's kindness.

Seeing this, Erfu smiled again and teased softly: "If I were Su Peisheng, I wouldn't scare you to death!"

"Gotta get it...... If you don't play tricks with you, you will ask you, how fast you look at the account book, are you sure you can read the numbers in it clearly, shouldn't you be pretending!" The fourth master thought about Erfu's coquettish appearance in his arms every day, and thought about Su Peisheng's appearance, he couldn't help but stir up, and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Since you asked, I won't hide it from you, I have already asked Bai Jiao to arrange for Mr. Accounts to enter the house tomorrow to check the accounts. ”

"Then why are you still looking through the ledger here?"

"For what, I'm afraid that the results of the accounting will be too amazing, I can't control my temper in front of those bookkeepers, and you don't know what kind of character the people under you are, if this eating and taking cards is a common thing, it also happens from time to time, I am afraid that someone will be greedy and die, and the amazing number is calculated, which frightens me. ”

"Is this the case in the house?" the fourth master asked with some surprise.

To tell the truth, the fourth master really didn't pay much attention to the general affairs accounts in the house.

First, the general affairs accounts in the front yard were kept by Chen Fu and Zhang.

These two people are loyal servants who have given their lives to the fourth master, and there are countless capable people under them, so naturally they will not use these trivial things to annoy the fourth master, and those who are on errands at the bottom also know that the fourth master is a personality who does not rub sand in his eyes, and there are really few people who dare to be greedy and hide their selfishness.

Second, when the general affairs of the inner courtyard were in charge of the Wulanala clan, the fourth master had not even seen the account books.

Erfu is in charge of the feed, the fourth master has read the account book, but he really hasn't turned it, and Erfu hasn't bothered the fourth master with this, speaking of which, this is really the first time the fourth master has looked at the account book.

He used to think that those corrupt officials in the court wanted money and didn't want to die, and he really didn't think that there were such people in this mansion.

"Is it everywhere?" he asked in a low voice of disbelief.

"Well, in fact, it's not only the slaves below who are greedy for the behavior of the Mo Gongzhong, but even the side Fujin who are in charge of various places also have the habit of stuffing silver into their pockets, and now it's better, but some petty greed and petty things still can't be stopped, otherwise I wouldn't toss the account clerk over there in Xuancai Fang to come into the house to check the accounts!"

"Master understands, catch it and send it directly to the Department of Punishment of the Internal Affairs Bureau, don't be too soft!" the fourth master said with a cold face.

He thought so in his heart, those ministers who dared to be corrupt and pervert the law were all old foxes with long hair, forming gangs, covering each other, or being far away from Beijing, he couldn't do anything about these people for a while, but these minions in the house still dared to be greedy for ink, so he had countless ways to clean them up, so he planned to use these people in the house to practice first, and see if the idea of greedy ink in this person's heart was really endless and inexhaustible.

Erfu didn't know what to do, nodded with a smile, and replied softly: "That's good, I was still worried about what to do with them, with the master's ticket, then I really want to be ruthless, don't come over to intercede for the people next to you when the time comes, think about the plea of those delicate little beauties pear blossoms falling rain, you must not be soft-hearted, otherwise I won't give you face at that time." With that, she covered her mouth with a wicked smile.

Seeing this, the fourth master threw a white eye at Erfu with disgust, and this Nizi would be jealous, really stingy.

But he just likes the way Erf dominates himself and doesn't let go.
