Chapter 1440
When Erfu heard this, a strange smile flashed on his face, and he even leaned closer to the direction of Concubine De, and replied in a low voice: "If the bloodline is not pure enough, he will not think about those things that do not belong to him, and others will not look at him as an eyesore and have other thoughts, so that he can grow up in peace!"
She knew that her two wedding maids had good intentions, and she also wanted to put two tables on the table, the hearts of all the servants in the main courtyard, but when she thought of the fourth master's sad bitter gourd face, she couldn't raise her interest, so she had to arrange for Shilan to prepare a reward for the servants' purses, so as to save the servants from hard work in the kitchen.
"Master, you are too wronged to be yourself!" Shiqing looked unhappy and held her grievances for Erf.
Erfu smiled indifferently and said softly, "It's okay, I don't feel wronged at all."
Besides, you also know that the fourth master has been in a bad mood recently, because of Brother Honghui's affairs, up and down this house, who is not worried and frightened to live, and he doesn't even dare to wear some colorful clothes, for fear of angering the fourth master, why should we bother ourselves. ”
Speaking of this, she smiled and called Shilan and a few other first-class palace maids to the front, pointed to the stack of purses on the kang table, and said softly: "Instead of putting on a feast and causing trouble, it is better to reward some silver money." ”
"The slave is just to feel wronged for you. Hearing the words, he flattened his mouth and muttered softly.
Elder smiled, but didn't care.
Because the things in this inner house are so simple, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
A few days ago, she inexplicably carried the notoriety of murdering the royal bloodline, and everyone couldn't wait to come up and step on her feet, and did everything she could do.
Since this is the case, why should Erfu touch the fourth master's scales!
It is not easy for a woman to live in the back house, and life and death, honor and disgrace are all concerned with men, which is extremely painful.
Erfu sighed in her heart, but her face was still full of laughter, she cared about the fourth master's opinion, but she would not let herself force herself to be sad, look at the women in the house, who were so happy that they were about to close their mouths when they got the news of Honghui's death, but they still had to put on a sad look that they felt empathy with the fourth master, and their faces were about to twist into a ball, how do you feel disgusting and hypocritical......
In such a strange atmosphere, Chen Fu escorted Honghui's coffin back to Beijing.
Emperor Kangxi is still alive, and the fourth master is still alive, he is not qualified to mourn in the house when a younger generation with royal blood dies, and even the coffin can not enter Beijing, Chen Fu directly sent Honghui's coffin to Enjizhuang after getting the permission of the fourth master.
Enjizhuang is also the place where the Wulanala clan of the first blessing Jin once stopped.
The fourth master arranged it this way, firstly, the villagers here are all old people in the house, and some of them are even the dowries of the Wulanala clan of Xianfujin, and secondly, the Wulanala clan of Xianfujin has stopped again, and the cemetery is not far from here, from a certain point of view, it can be regarded as reuniting their mother and son.
It's a little ridiculous and a little ridiculous, but it's also a part of the fourth master's father's heart.
After Chen Fu returned, the fourth master also went directly to Enji Village, he was going to see Honghui for the last time, and he was also worried that those villagers in the village would watch people put down dishes, so that Honghui would not feel at ease on the last journey.
This journey has not been easy.
He sat quietly in the carriage, listening to the cries of the carriages behind him, and felt a lot in his heart.
On the one hand, he lamented that Honghui left suddenly, obviously a descendant of the royal family, but he didn't even have a rank and title, and he walked too shabby;
On the one hand, he is lamenting Honghui's youth and absurdity, an elder brother from a royal family, and he has his prince Ama as a backer, that is, he is no longer a weapon, he only knows how to carry cages and birds, listen to plays and play crickets, and he will not end up like this, but he fled from the house for such a scheming actor and put himself in danger......
At the same time, he is also reflecting on whether he is too strict with Amma......
The fourth master knew that Honghui was cowardly, had no assertiveness in case of trouble, and it was difficult to become a big weapon, so he was sent to the front of the emperor and mixed with a bad or bad errand, so that is, why did he force him to go to the army to experience, if he hadn't forced himself so tightly, maybe Honghui would not have encountered such a danger......
He thought about it all the way, full of remorse and sentimentality.
"Master, you have to take care of your body!" Su Peisheng looked at the fourth master with red circles in his eyes with a worried face, and persuaded in a low voice.
The fourth master shook his head slightly, suppressed the sour emotions in his heart, took a deep breath, and walked out of the carriage as usual, came to the hastily arranged mourning hall, and saw Honghui in the coffin.
Honghui died violently due to the secret medicine, causing his facial features to be distorted and hideous, his skin was blue and black, plus the time spent on the road, and the body was slightly corrupted, that is, there were slaves to tidy up his appearance, but it still looked very terrifying, but the fourth master was not afraid, he looked at Honghui with a sad face, raised his hand to brush Honghui's hideous face, and the tears that had been suppressed finally flowed out.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.
The fourth master watched Honghui, who grew up in front of him since he was a child, end up like this, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't help crying, not to mention the reaction of the Wulanala clan and others who came with the fourth master.
In the mourning hall, the cry shook the sky, and it was desolate and inexplicable.
The fourth master didn't want to stay in such an atmosphere for long, and he didn't want to be too out of shape in front of people, he turned his head to look at the Wulanala clan and the others, and then beckoned Chen Fu, who was waiting on the side, and walked out, asking as he walked: "Tell this king, what is the situation." ”
Chen Fu hurriedly followed, and explained to the fourth master in a low voice what he had seen and heard along the way.
"What did the local government office say?" The fourth master listened quietly, did not say a word, and after being silent for a long time, he asked in a dumb voice.
Chen Fu was slightly shocked in his heart, his demeanor was a little more respectful, and he replied respectfully: "When the servant went, the servant of the local government office had carefully checked the luggage and packages carried by Brother Honghui, and did not find anything wrong. ”
"What do you think is going on with this?" the fourth master nodded and asked through gritted teeth.
"The slave didn't know, he just thought it was a bit ridiculous. Chen Fu didn't dare to talk nonsense, let alone climb at will, but he couldn't help but give an answer, so he could only say vaguely.
It is impossible for such an answer to satisfy the fourth master, but the fourth master also knew Chen Fu's embarrassment, so he did not continue to ask, nodded slightly, and agreed with Chen Fu's answer, but he had the most suspicious target in his heart.
He looked back in the direction of the mourning hall and ordered in a cold voice, "Continue the investigation." ”
"Yes, the minions obey. Chen Fu replied respectfully, and after speaking, he trotted all the way out of the fourth master.
He knows too well the character of his master, and he is afraid that he will explode at this time, and it is when he doesn't like anything that he will not be stupid enough to stay in front of the fourth master to make a gas bag, thinking of this, he looked back at Su Peisheng with a sympathetic face.
Su Peisheng was also looking at him, and his eyes were indescribably complaining.
Obviously, he has been living a very painful life these days, to the extent that he can't sleep and eat, otherwise he wouldn't have lost weight like this, he thought that Chen Fu escorted Brother Honghui's coffin back to Beijing, and there was an unlucky guy to share one or two for himself, but he didn't expect this unlucky guy to hide away so lucky, so how could Su Peisheng not complain!
However, Chen Fu didn't care about Su Peisheng's feelings, threw Su Peisheng a look of self-begging, and left without looking back.
His friendship with Su Peisheng was not enough for him to sacrifice his life to save him!
"You go and pass a word to those people in the mourning hall, so that they don't have to be too sentimental, especially the pregnant little Gege, now that Honghui is gone, the child in her womb is Honghui's only bloodline, so she must take care of her body carefully. Just when Su Peisheng secretly scolded Chen Fu for being unkind, the fourth master, who had been silent, spoke up.
"The slave understands that he specially invited Imperial Doctor Liang to the village before, and Imperial Doctor Liang is nearby to take care of him, you can rest assured that the master is serving the old people in the house, and he has a deep affection for Brother Honghui, and he will not wronged a few concubines. Su Peisheng didn't care about scolding Chen Fu for being unkind, and hurriedly replied.
When the fourth master heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said in a low voice: "You are still delicate, and it is appropriate to arrange it like this, but you can't be too careless, after all, it is difficult to ensure that other people in Honghui Courtyard will not be jealous, so you have to pay special attention to her food and clothing." ”
"The minions have all remembered, and will go over to arrange it later. Su Peisheng replied respectfully.
The fourth master nodded again, he couldn't think of anything else for a while, waved his hand, and urged Su Peisheng to make arrangements quickly, and walked to the temporarily arranged residence by himself, he wanted to find a place to be alone for a while, so that he could be sad for a while and vent for a while.
For three days in a row, the fourth master never left the residence except for going to the mourning hall to see Honghui.
Seven days later, Honghui's body was buried in the ground.
After the fourth master sent him on this last journey, he left those Gege in Honghui Courtyard to recuperate in the village, and then returned to the fourth master's mansion in Beijing with the Wulanala clan, but he did not go to the court to listen to the government as usual, and has been tracking down the truth of Honghui's violent death.
Emperor Kangxi understood his feelings, and did not arrange errands for him, and summoned him to the palace several times, but also concerned about his body and the progress of the investigation, obviously the truth of Honghui's death, is also very important, and also approved the fourth master's invitation, specially posthumously named Honghui as the son of Prince Yong, and promised the title of prince of the county, and even promised the fourth master, if Honghui's posthumous son is not a male fetus, he is allowed to be Honghui's step-son, inheriting the bloodline, so as not to have no successor to Honghui.
In this way, in a very strange atmosphere, Jingzhong ushered in the end of the year.
"I didn't expect Honghui's child to have such a blessing, when he was alive, he was never named the prince, but now he has become the first county king among his grandchildren, and he is more than a few princes. Concubine De looked at Erfu, who entered the palace to give her a New Year's gift, and said with a wry smile.
When Erfu heard this, she was slightly stunned, she really didn't know how to answer this question.
"How is the investigation over there, he has made the whole capital unpeaceful, if he continues to toss so carelessly, I am afraid that the Zongren Mansion will come forward!"
Erfu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded: "The concubine understands that she will definitely remind the prince to follow the rules." ”
But after saying that, she didn't forget to defend the fourth master, and whispered grievances for the fourth master, "Actually, you can't blame the prince for being so radical, Honghui is the eldest son of his heart, and he once had high hopes for him, but now he died early, and it is such a way to die, and whoever is the prince will inevitably have inappropriate actions, and the prince is also unwilling to Honghui die in vain." ”
"In this palace and outside the palace, there is still less royal blood that has died unexplained, but this time there are many things!"
She also knew that she was too cold-hearted and cold-hearted when she said this, and she regretted it as soon as she said it.
Concubine De coughed lightly a little embarrassed, and changed the topic and asked about the little Gege who were left in Enjizhuang by the fourth master, to show that she also cared about Honghui's grandson, but she didn't want to be swayed by this emotion, so she would speak ill of her.
has been in this era for many years, and Erf can be regarded as somewhat understanding the routines of this era.
She saw Concubine De Niangniang changing the topic so bluntly, she didn't understand what Concubine De Niangniang meant, and replied with a smile: "Niangniang rest assured, Brother Honghui's bloodline, the prince values it, and the concubine doesn't dare to treat it slowly, and there are more cases sent over than the side Fujin cases in the house, and Imperial Doctor Liang has been staying in the village to wait, and in two months, it will be time to choose a nursing mother and midwife for the child, and then it will inevitably trouble Niangniang." ”
"With you taking care of that side, this palace is also more stable.
Although Honghui's child is unlucky, the child he left behind is very blessed, but it's a pity that there are fewer, and the only one is still conceived in the womb of a Fanbang woman, and I don't know how much criticism will be born. When Concubine De heard this, she bowed her head slightly and said softly.
When Erfu heard this, she was stunned again, and then replied with a smile: "Actually, this is also a good thing. ”
"What do you say?" Concubine De asked softly, after all, this is an era that pays the most attention to pure blood, and she really can't see any benefit......
