Chapter One Thousand and Fifty-Two
Erfu left with her front foot, and Mrs. Liu, who was originally sitting at the bottom of the house, hurriedly stood up, respectfully and respectfully made a blessing to Li Hezhu and Li Fangfu, who were unhappy with a stiff face, and said again: "The slave has seen the master, please be safe to the master!"
"Sit down. Li Hezhu pointed to the embroidery pier at the lower head without raising his head, and commanded coldly.
"The slave didn't dare. Liu Niangzi's face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly took a few steps back and knelt on the ground, respectfully pleading guilty.
"What did Fujin ask you?" Li Hezhu held the tea bowl in one hand, squinted at the panicked Liu Niangzi, and snorted coldly for a long time, signaling Liu Niangzi to get up and answer, and asked in a cold voice, others don't know the relationship between her and Liu Niangzi, only when she marries here from Fanbang's vassal country, she must be a lonely one, but fortunately, she arranged it early before, and specially made a strategy to collect some inconspicuous palace maids and servants in the Fourth Master's Mansion, and Liu Niangzi is one of them, Liu Niangzi can sit smoothly in the position of the housekeeper, and she is also the pusher in the back.
Although she is not worried that Erfu will pull Liu Niangzi over, she will still worry that Erfu will find any problems from Liu Niangzi, especially if she has been working in the sewing room recently, so she is even more worried that she will be exposed.
For example, the underwear she sent everywhere was embroidered with embroidery thread soaked in safflower juice.
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she hurriedly repeated all the questions that Erfu had asked before.
"Then hasn't she asked about the accounts of the past few months?" Li Hezhu and Li Fangfujin continued to ask.
"No, Fu Jin didn't care much about these before, unless it was a monthly reconciliation, otherwise even if he came over, it was to cut new clothes for the little masters in the house. Mrs. Liu replied respectfully.
Li Hezhu Li Fang Fujin asked some more sensitive questions, seeing that Erfu had not asked Liu Niangzi, she was relieved, and her face eased a lot, but then she became a little nervous, her performance today is a little excessive, I am afraid that she is still separated from Fujin, who has a good relationship, although it is not enough to mess up her unsightly arrangements, but it is also a little unfavorable.
However, she didn't let anyone notice the uneasiness in her heart, but instructed Liu Niangzi with an indifferent face: "Okay, since Fujin trusts you, then you should walk around Fujin more." After saying that, she didn't forget the excuses she said to Erfu when she came over just now, and directly took off her outer robe and ordered Liu Niangzi to take a soft ruler to measure her own size.
When all this was done, she led the maidservant who was waiting close to her out of the sewing room.
After sending away two big Buddhas in a row, Liu Niangzi sat weakly on the embroidered pier next to the round table, and picked up the tea bowl used by Li Hezhu and Li Fangfujin before in a little fluster, drank the remaining herbal tea in the bowl in one gulp, and let out a long breath of turbidity.
TMD, blame the men in her family for being too uncompetitive, otherwise why would she have fallen to this point!
If she still stayed in the small town of her hometown, with her amazing embroidery skills, even if the income of the embroidery shop was not high, but it was enough for their family to have enough food and clothing......
Wow, why is there no regret medicine in this world!
Mrs. Liu covered her face bitterly, grinned silently to vent her dissatisfaction, and after a cup of tea, she sorted out her mood, raised a warm and quiet smile on her face again, and walked back to the spacious and bright embroidery room, lying on the desk to depict the patterns sent by Erf.
——————————
On the other side, Erfu and Xiaoqi walked on the path among the flowers.
Xiao Qi, who has always loved to talk and laugh, was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't bear to pull the corner of his Eniang lonely, and reminded in a low voice: "Eniang, have you noticed that Li Shu Eniang's waist is really plump." After speaking, she also learned the movements of Li Hezhu and Li Fang Fujin when she walked into the room, slightly bent her waist, as if hiding the plumpness of her waist.
Erfu didn't care about it at first, but after seeing Xiao Qi's funny moves, he was stunned.
She stopped suddenly, causing Xiao Qi, who was learning Li Hezhu's walking behind her, to bump into her back uncontrollably, and then she came back to her senses and gathered the frost on her face, turned her head to look at Xiao Qi, who was rubbing her nose and screaming pain, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you really think she is fatter?"
"E-Niang didn't see her sitting on the chair, and she specially pulled the hem of her robe!" Xiao Qi replied with a smile.
"Yes, I really haven't paid attention, why do you girl even stare at the small movements of people when they sit down!" Hearing this, Erfu barely squeezed out a smile, raised his hand and rubbed the top of Xiao Qi's hair, and asked softly.
"Grandma Sun taught. Xiao Qitian said with a smile.
"It seems that you have made a lot of progress by learning the rules from Grandma Sun!"
With that, she ended the topic neatly, and turned to other more interesting and light-hearted topics, she didn't want her children to get involved in the struggle of the women in the backyard at a young age, and she didn't want her children to worry about their own affairs at a young age.
Erfu accompanied Xiao Qi to walk in the back garden with a smile, and then sat in the water pavilion behind Tingyuzhai for a while, until the sleepiness rose, and when Xiao Qi was going to learn the rules from Grandma Sun, she led Shilan and Shiqing back to her own courtyard to pack her luggage.
I thought that this trip to Zhuangshang would have to stay for a few days, so I brought a lot of luggage, and the result was ...... I came back in two days, and before I could open and sort out the cages that I had brought over, they were brought back as they were, and now they have to be reorganized, which is really troublesome.
Fortunately, she still has the help of palace maids such as Shilan and Shiqing, otherwise she would definitely be so sad that she pulled her hair.
"This jade-carved incense burner is placed on the Bogu shelf between the hall and the study. ”
"The celadon gooseneck flask, on the low table on the inside of the bed, replaced the pair of pastel gooseneck flasks. ”
"Put away this bucket pot of buckets, and you can't use it left and right. ”
"Remove the red low cabinet, or put it back in the private vault in the back cover room. ”
"The tea table, it just so happens that the one in the east room has been used for a long time, so let's put this one over. ”
......
......
Erfu ordered someone to move a Taishi chair under the porch, with a thin quilt on her body that was soft and soft, and a warm soup woman under her feet, and pointed out the palace people to arrange the position where it should be placed.
This busy work was an afternoon, and she forgot to eat her favorite snack.
"Master, Mrs. Liu has come to pick up the materials!" Erfu finally commanded the palace maid to sort out the luggage brought back from Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and just returned to the room to rest, before the warm tea was delivered to her mouth, Shilan led Mrs. Liu from the outside with a smile.
Erfu waved her hand irritably, pointed to the stack of clothes stacked on the other side of the Luohan bed, and said casually: "You can just hand over the two pieces of material that you found under the box to Mrs. Liu." ”
After speaking, she picked up the tea bowl in her hand and drank it slowly.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu didn't stay long, and handed back the two tricks that Erfu had left with her back to Shilan's hands, and returned to the sewing room with the clothes, and she didn't even bother to ask for the reward.
In this regard, Erfu was unaware of it, but Shilan, who was in charge of sending Liu Niangzi out, was a little suspicious.
She didn't rush to tell Erfu about this undiscovered discovery, but quickly went to the inverted seat room to find Zhao Dezhu.
"You asked me to arrange someone to keep an eye on Mrs. Liu, why?" Zhao Dezhu, who was called out, asked with some puzzlement.
Shilan did not stand at the door of the room with Zhao Dezhu to talk, but pulled Zhao Dezhu to a relatively hidden corner, and then lowered her voice and explained: "I just think she is a little strange, you also know that our master likes her hand Su embroidery stitch very much, in addition to the small clothes and embroidered handkerchiefs, sachets and other things that the master wears closely, the gowns and robes that are worn daily are all handled by Mrs. Liu, if someone buys her to take the opportunity to plot against our master, then our master is not very dangerous!"
"That's right, then I'll arrange someone to keep an eye on Mrs. Liu later, but you also know that although the sewing room is in the backyard, because of the location, those embroidery girls not only did not sign the death deed, but even the maids who served in front of them were brought by them from outside the house, so it is actually not easy to stare at Mrs. Liu. Zhao Dezhu rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and explained.
"This, you don't need to worry too much, and it's not for you to do anything harmful, you just need to arrange two inconspicuous little palace maids to look at it in front of you, see who is closer to her, and who has more dealings with her, just write it down, the people who pull her around left and right can't do without those women in our backyard, and then you can arrange someone to keep an eye on it, other things, things outside, I will find a way to contact Sister Bai Jiao later." In this regard, Shilan had already thought about it very clearly, she smiled and waved her hand, interrupting Zhao Dezhu's unfinished words, and said the solution with a smile, which obviously looked like she had already made a plan in her chest.
In fact, Shilan has been thinking about these things since she found out that something was wrong with Mrs. Liu.
In fact, Shilan had never doubted the origin of this Liu Niangzi before, and even got closer to Liu Niangzi, but today in the sewing room, it seems that the communication between Li Hezhu Li Fang Fujin and Liu Niangzi is very normal, but she found that Liu Niangzi looked at Li Hezhu Li Fang Fujin's eyes revealed fear and a little resentment, which is obviously wrong, and Li Hezhu Li Fang Fujin also came too fast, so fast that it gave people a feeling of being a thief, coupled with Liu Niangzi's rush to send the tricks, she was even more sure that Liu Niangzi had a problem.
So...... From the moment she sent Mrs. Liu out of the upper room, she decided to let Zhao Dezhu stare at Mrs. Liu.
After arranging these, Shilan returned to Erfu's side to serve, Erfu, who had worked hard all day, did not notice that Shilan went out to give away for too long, she was lying on the Luohan bed, let Shiqing pinch her shoulders and beat her legs for herself, her head was buried deep in the soft pillow, it looked like she was lying on her stomach as if she had no bones, and after a long time of incense, Erfu noticed that Shiqing's strength in pinching her shoulders was weaker, so she raised her head with a yawn, patted the back of Shiqing's hand with her backhand, sat up, and said softly: " It's still a little early, but you and Shilan are tired today, so let's go back early and rest, and come back tomorrow when we get up early. After speaking, she pulled her shoes and urged Shilan and Shiqing to go down and rest.
Seeing this, Shilan and Shiqing did not insist, and Gongsheng should have withdrawn from the upper room.
The two walked under the corridor, Shiqing asked Shilan why she sent Liu Niangzi for so long, the two were good sisters who grew up together, Shilan did not hide the poetry, and repeated the words she and Zhao Dezhu said in a few words, and spread her hands helplessly, and said in a low voice: "I really wish I thought about it more, otherwise our master will be sad again!"
"Don't worry about it, let's just take care of the master. Poetry replied with a smile.
Shilan nodded slightly, didn't speak again, and after bypassing the moon cave door next to the upper room and facing the back room, she said: "I'll go and call Sister Yujie to go over to the room to serve, you go back to the room first." With that, she walked quickly to Yujie's room.
Although Erfu wanted to arrange Yujie's room to the cross-hospital housekeeper Mama before, Yujie insisted on staying in Erfu to serve, so her room was arranged in the back cover room like Shilan and Shiqing, but Erfu felt sorry for Yujie's body just recovered, not only let her live alone, but also specially left a little palace maid who was only ten years old to serve Yujie in front of Yujie, so that Yujie and the housekeepers next to her were treated the same.
"Sister Yujie, Sister Yujie!" Shilan knocked softly on Yujie's door and called softly.
"What's the matter, but the master has something to order?" Yujie, who was sitting by the window doing needlework, heard the movement, and asked loudly through the door while getting up and coming over to open the door for Shilan.
As she spoke, Yujie had already opened the door, Shilan nodded to Yujie with a smile, and said softly: "Yes, Sister Yujie, the master cherishes me and Shiqing for their hard work in sorting out their luggage, and let me and Shiqing go back to the room to rest before dinner, but I don't worry about the master staying in the room by himself, I am afraid that there will be no one to serve the master, so I want to ask Sister Yujie and Qiong'er to go over and talk to the master." ”
"Okay, then you can go back and rest, and I'll go over here. Hearing this, Yujie replied with a smile.
When she returned to the house, she was always treated with special favor by Erfu, not only asked the doctor to see her, but also relieved her anger and hatred, and explained to the small kitchen to stew supplements for her according to three meals, and now she has the opportunity to serve in front of Erfu, and she is very happy.
She was so happy that she didn't even bother to say a word to Sirido, and went to the upper room.
