Chapter 1167
She didn't understand the reason why the fourth master returned to the backyard at this time, but she felt that the person who could make the fourth master make an exception and return to the backyard before it was dark seemed to be her alone, so she was busy cleaning up herself, so as not to let the fourth master see her embarrassed appearance now.
It's a pity that she packed up herself and prepared refreshments and snacks, but she couldn't wait for the fourth master.
Standing by the door, Erfu, who had been looking around for a while, returned to the room with some loss, she pinched the sweet pea yellow and ate it absentmindedly, and asked vaguely at Shilan and Shiqing, who didn't know how to comfort herself, "You say, where will the fourth master go now?"
In this regard, Shilan and Shiqing were confused.
Fortunately, this embarrassment was quickly cracked.
Zhao Dezhu, who was in charge of collecting news from all over the courtyard here, quickly sent the news of where the fourth master went.
Warm Pavilion.
What the heck!
This was Erf's first reaction, and then she thought of the women who ran over and took the initiative to catch people, she bit her lower lip and made a decision that made her blush and heartbeat, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look!"
After saying that, she took the lead and walked out, not even willing to delay the time to put on her cloak.
Near the flower hall, all the women gathered, all of them were carefully dressed, surrounded by fragrances, ringing and jingling, not to mention how lively, they were all staring at the man who suddenly appeared near the flower hall.
And the appearance of Erf brought the tense atmosphere of this pursuit competition to a peak.
Because no one will doubt Erfu's charm in the eyes of the fourth master, with Erfu here, everyone else will become a foil.
This made these women who worked hard to dress up, face the sun, hold a fan, and pretend to be delicate and beautiful, all of them gritted their teeth with hatred, and secretly scolded Erfu for eating meat, and didn't even want to leave soup for others, but they were really selfish and narrow-minded, and they didn't have the bearing to be a housewife at all.
Erf didn't know about that.
She really didn't have the ideas of other women, such as the plan to lead the fourth master to sit in her own courtyard, she was just curious, curious about what caused the fourth master to come to the backyard before it was dark.
Erfu realized it later, but Shilan noticed the eyes of those women who were eager to eat people, and she was a little timid and suggested: "Master, why don't we go back!"
"Why?" asked Erph softly.
Shiqing obviously also sensed the threat in the eyes of those women, and preemptively said: "Look at the eyes of those people, it's so terrifying......"
"Forget it, I'm tired left and right, so I won't follow them blindly with this sore back.
Let's go and sit in the flower hall and wait for the fourth master to appear. When Erfu heard this, he looked around left and right, looked at the women who had staggered by him, felt the fierce little eyes of those women, and swallowed his saliva in fear, and chose to avoid the edge for the time being.
After speaking, she walked directly to the flower hall with carved beams and paintings.
The little palace maid on the errand side of the flower hall didn't dare to slack off, and while delivering a message to the housekeeper's grandmother, she was holding refreshments, and carefully serving the concubine Fu Jinerfu, who didn't seem to be in a good mood, and even her voice trembled a little when she answered.
Seeing this, Erf waved her hand and let her go down.
She took a sip of the slightly astringent hot tea, and sighed: "I didn't come here to join in the fun if I knew it, look at the cannibalistic eyes of those women, I don't know, I thought that Ben Fujin jumped into the well with their children!"
"This doesn't just show that the master's honor and favor are prosperous, they are afraid of you, afraid that you will invite the master back to the main courtyard. ”
"Cut, rare...... The rules in this house have long been set who should sleep on which day, so I will not take the lead in breaking the rules. ”
"Master, you think so, and you do it, but I'm afraid that the hostesses of other courtyards won't think so, the slave maid heard Zhao Dezhu say that the various tonic soups and snacks that the hostesses of these courtyards send to the front yard every day are enough for the servants and miscellaneous servants who are waiting in the study to eat for three days, and those people are worried about the master's body, and they don't want to please the master, I hope the master can go to their courtyard to sit and ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, let people hear it, it's another thing. Hearing this, Erph rolled her eyes and reminded in a low voice.
Although she knows that poetry is kind to comfort and explain herself, there are some words that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, especially in a place like the flower hall that counts as a work occasion, don't look at the three of them talking here, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it in the dark!
Shiqing also knew that her words were reckless, and she stuck out her tongue coquettishly and retreated to the side.
But there is such a gap in poetry, Erfu really feels a lot more relaxed, she ate two more snacks, I haven't heard of anyone meeting the fourth master, I feel that sitting in the flower hall and waiting stupidly is not a thing, it seems that I really can't live her identity as a concubine, after a little thought, beckoned to Shilan and the two, motioned for the two to come up, and whispered: "Do you say that Ben Fujin should go back to the main courtyard......"
"If the master doesn't want to go back, it's better to go to the warm pavilion to rest for a while, the slave and maid heard from Grandpa Su, the master specially bought some new things for you in the warm pavilion!" Shi Lan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then suggested with a smile.
"Well, then I'll have to take a look!" replied with a smile in Erph's eyes.
After speaking, she beckoned Shilan and Shiqing to follow, walked out of the flower hall directly, and walked towards the warm pavilion next to her.
At the same time, the fourth master had also gone around the warm pavilion for a whole circle.
Although the Siye's Mansion is modeled after the Jiangnan garden, the winding path is secluded, the corridor is surrounded, and it is not a regular courtyard structure, but the style of the courtyard can be seen in general, after all, it is the official residence designed by the Ministry of Industry, and there are always some fixed rules and regulations to be followed.
For example, the fourth master's residence in the outer courtyard, Erfu's residence in the backyard, and the flower hall for entertaining guests, all of which are just on that central axis.
And if the flower hall is compared with a certain building in the palace, it should be the Jiaotai Hall that connects the front and back harems.
The fourth master stood on the top of a rockery behind the warm pavilion next to the flower hall, looking at the direction of the flower hall from afar, clenching his fists hatefully, he failed to understand the content of the Buddha sign well, and he didn't know that Wu Ya Hehe was thinking about the warm pavilion that belonged to Erfu, but mistakenly thought that Wu Ya Hehe wanted to live in this flower hall that was specially responsible for treating people and guests, in order to show her special and noble!
Thinking about it like this, how could the fourth master, who was full of how to pamper Erfu, be dissatisfied with the anger in his stomach, and when he saw the women walking around the flower hall and playing with the occasional encounters, he felt even more uncomfortable, and he hated to send these women to a place where he couldn't see them.
However, all these negative emotions were greatly alleviated and released the moment he saw Erph's figure.
"Go, invite your Fujin master over!" The fourth master raised his hand to greet Su Peisheng, who was waiting with him, pointed to the figure of Erfu who was about to walk to the warm pavilion below, and commanded in a cold voice, after speaking, he walked towards the rockery.
Because the fourth master knew that Erfu was a rice worm who was not diligent and did not distinguish between grains, and this rockery was full of moss, which was particularly slippery, he didn't want to fall on Xiao Nizi, so how distressed he was......
Fortunately, next to the rockery is a pavilion that is small enough to accommodate only four or five people to talk, which is just right for solitude.
The fourth master urged Su Peisheng to go over to invite someone, and walked quickly to the pavilion, and at the same time did not forget to tell the little eunuch who followed behind him to prepare the cushions, smokers and other things to be used for sitting and resting, all aspects were arranged very carefully, if it wasn't for the fact that Su Peisheng and Su Gonggong had already gone over to invite Fujin to come over, the little eunuch who was waiting behind the fourth master thought that Emperor Kangxi was going to come to the fourth master's mansion!
The dignified prince is like a housekeeper who worries about these small things of sesame mung beans......
"Go to the small kitchen in the front yard to get some sesame crisp and osmanthus cake, these are all things that your Fujin master loves to eat!" Just when the fourth master was still thinking about what was missing, Erfu had already led Shilan and others, followed behind Su Peisheng, bypassed the rockery where few people set foot, and came to the fourth master, just when he heard that the fourth master arranged for the little eunuch to take his favorite snacks, he felt warm in his heart, and he was about to cry!
But she's a dead duck with a hard mouth, especially in front of outsiders.
So as soon as Erfu came over, he provoked the problem unhappily, and said in a coquettish voice: "Fourth master, you talk about concubines as if you are a gentleman who knows how to eat, drink and have fun, don't you let them laugh at concubines in private!"
"Don't talk nonsense, come and sit!" When the fourth master heard this, he waved his hand and urged the little eunuch to hurry up and prepare.
Erfu smiled, motioned to Shilan and the others to wait outside the pavilion like other eunuchs, and walked to the side of the fourth master, before she could bend her knees, the fourth master had already patted the white marble carved drum stool with soft cushions on his side, beckoning Erfu to sit down and speak: "Don't pretend, who here doesn't know that Fujin is a rather casual person, hurry up and sit!"
With that, he stretched out his arm and pulled Ralph's sleeve regardless of his identity.
Seeing this, Erfu was not polite to the fourth master, and sat down directly next to the fourth master, she looked at the coat on the fourth master's body with ink stains on the sleeves, and smiled and teased: "Why do you want to be idle here!"
"Master can't be busy, and learn from you to drink tea and enjoy the scenery!" The fourth master pulled his sleeves and said arrogantly.
"As the saying goes, three years old sees old, seven years old is eighty, if you can be as comfortable as me, get by, then you are not the fourth master, I am afraid that I will ask the mage of Baohua Hall to do a good job, lest there be dirty things that affect our Prince Yong, who has always been diligent and self-denying. Erph rolled her eyes angrily and said, she knew that the stinky man was more and more lazy about her.
The fourth master raised his hand and gave Erfu a burst, knocked on Delph and hugged his head and shouted pain, and said with a tense face: "You don't have a door at all with this mouth, you can say whatever you think, you know where you are wrong, otherwise you will be punished!"
As he spoke, he deliberately snapped his fingers, and the word threat was written in his eyes.
Seeing this, in line with the principle that a hero does not suffer immediate losses, Erfu hurriedly waved his hand and said in a continuous voice: "The concubine is out of shape, please don't blame the fourth master." ”
The fourth master and Erfu made jokes, and they were in a better mood, but it was not good to continue to mess around with Erfu.
After all, this is outside the court, no more than when the two of them are in the room, they can say whatever they want, and some more outrageous actions will not cause criticism from the courtiers, so he dusted off his robe with a weak heart, put the non-existent dust on it, cleared his throat, and said: "Speak well, if you mess around again, the master will let people deduct your monthly money!"
"Okay, talk well, that master asked Grandpa Su to call me over, do you have anything to order?" Erfu also knew that this was not a suitable place for the two of them to play and play, and he also learned from the fourth master, straightened his back, raised the corners of his lips slightly, put on a gentle and elegant style, and asked softly.
After speaking, she also very considerately picked up the teapot on the stone table and poured a cup of tea for herself and the fourth master.
I really don't know what the fourth master thinks, and the palace maids and maids who are waiting around him are all driven to wait outside the pavilion, and there is not even a person around him who carries tea and water, so that the tea is a little cold, if he is like the fourth master, and he is not self-sufficient, this good tea will be wasted, Erfu thought so in his heart, and threw a blank eye to the fourth master.
The fourth master didn't notice that he was lowering his head to sip tea, silently counting the letter sent by Concubine De!
After a while, the little eunuch came over with a food box painted with vermilion lacquer and gold.
Not only the little eunuch came over with a food box, but also a group of female dependents who followed the little eunuch, surrounded by flowers and branches, surrounded by fragrances, and before the round one approached, Erfu had already smelled the haunting fragrance, she turned her head a little unhappily, just to see the fourth master's distracted appearance, and hurriedly greeted: "Ahem...... The ladies of the various courtyards have come to greet you, spirits, don't wander out of the world!"
After saying that, she had already turned her head with a smile and made eye contact with the women.
And the fourth master also regained his mind, moved out of the poker face that had been hanging on his face all the year round, looked at the group of women with different temperaments in front of him with an indifferent expression, and said in a deep voice: "This is a coincidence, why did you come here too!" After speaking, he threw an eye knife to the little eunuch who was carrying the food box and didn't know whether to enter or retreat, it must have been this fool who lured these people over, and I don't know if it was any benefit, so that he wanted to be alone with Erfu for a while, so it was better to go directly to the main courtyard.
Thinking of this, his eyes staring at the little eunuch became a little sharper.
Don't look at the back of this warm pavilion is a place where few masters have set foot, but this is close to the flower hall, no one can guarantee whether there will be a guest of the female relatives here, so every grass and tree here are decorated extraordinarily, quite a bit of engineering meaning, the fourth master also saw that this scenery is good, so he beckoned Erfu over, thinking about drinking tea and chatting with Erfu under the tree and beside the rockery, and talking about the troubles in his heart......
