Chapter 1251
Such a scene is staggering.
It's no wonder that these small merchants and hawkers who rushed into the city to sell their own land and those who couldn't afford to live in the city were unexpected, there were too many carriages parked at the city gate, and they were jammed like the morning and evening rush hour in later generations.
"Hurry up and flash to the side, these are all the families of the officials and masters, and if we meet any of them, we will all be unlucky. ”
"Brother, retreat to the back, there are officials and gentlemen in front of you. ”
"What do these big men in the city think, it's early in the morning, and we're the little people. ”
"Shut up, you want to die by yourself, don't bother us......"
After a short period of silence, there were bursts of discussion among the ordinary people outside the city who were rushing into the city to earn money to support their families, and at the same time, the queue crowded at the city gate also began to retreat little by little.
And in the city, the convoy guarding the city gate did not rush forward.
There is no way, who let the carriage that led the way blocked on the inside of the city gate be the car of Erfu, the fourth blessing jin.
Originally, Erfu was thinking that if she went out early, hurried early, and the big guy arrived at the Old Summer Palace before the sun rose, she didn't have to suffer too much on the way, but she didn't have much life experience, and she didn't expect so many people to rush into the city at the city gate.
And her identity is more sensitive, the Fourth Master's Mansion is the closest to the Forbidden City in the inner city, the inner family of the Fourth Master's Mansion has come out, it is not two or three kittens, there are more than 20 mule carts loaded with luggage alone, and there are two teams of heavily armed guards next to it, plus the servant retinue, the movement is ...... It can be described as a mobilization of teachers.
The relatives of the Fourth Master's Mansion went out, and the other relatives who lived in the nearby mansions heard about it, so they also came out.
By the time Erph and the rest of the group's carriage reached the gate of the city, a long trail of tails was already behind them.
When the city gate opened, not only the people waiting outside the city gate were stunned, but also Erfu, who was chatting with Prince Jian's mansion in the carriage to relieve his boredom.
She was slightly stunned, and hurriedly instructed Shilan to send a message to the handlebars behind, ordering them to control the carriages and let all the carriages line up in the city, so as not to block the way of the ordinary people entering the city.
Of course, Erfu is not qualified to ask the handlebar style of other mansions to do this, just let Shilan send a message to her own handlebar style, but she believes that if she puts this on the front side, then the relatives of the mansions in the back will not do anything too out of line, after all, this famous lady with a face cares about reputation very much, who wants to bear the charge of bullying the people and cause trouble for the old men who are officials in the court.
It's a pity that she underestimates this class concept that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Even if she has set an example and set aside a road that can accommodate ten people walking side by side, the ordinary people outside the city gate who are carrying burdens and burdens are not going to the city, but are still crowded on both sides of the official road.
Erfu, who was sitting in the carriage, felt a little bitter when he saw this scene, and sighed: "Many of these people are nearby farmers who carry fresh vegetables and fruits, if they wait at the gate of the city to wait for the carriage of the rear brigade to leave the city, I am afraid that those green vegetables and fruits will not be sold." ”
With that, she took out a purse full of broken silver from her sleeve and gave it to Qing Dai.
Qing Dai is the best martial artist around her, but she is also the most delicate, looking at the youngest.
She looked at the stunned Qingdai, and ordered softly: "I see that those fruits are quite fresh, you go and buy more, just so that we can eat on the road, and send more to the cars behind, don't run by yourself, lead those fruit farmers and vegetable farmers over, so that they can go into the city by the way." ”
"Master, you are so good. Qingdai reached out and took the purse, smiled and dropped a sentence, and jumped out of the carriage.
Tong Jia's Suyu, who was sitting next to her, didn't understand it at first, but she was a smart person, so she quickly reacted, and also learned from Erfu's style, smiled and handed the purse in her sleeve to the servant girl who was waiting for her closely, and said the same thing to her close maid.
Prince Jane Yaerjiang, that is also the **** who receives errands in the Zongren Mansion.
The Fujin of the two princes' mansions made arrangements, which can be regarded as giving enough face to these ordinary people who are waiting to enter the city, and also supporting the waist pole for them.
In the car, Tong Jia's Suyu looked at the people who had followed Qing Dai and her own handmaiden to the back through the thin window screen, smiled and withdrew the gaze that had been glancing out, turned her head to look at Erfu, and praised softly: "You are really compassionate, aren't you afraid that others will say that you are acting cowardly and deliberately buying people's hearts!"
"Do you think of me like that?" said Erph, smiling.
"I won't, I've known you for more than ten years since I was in the palace draft, and I still know your character, you are a little willful, but you really have a kind heart, but others don't know your character very well, so it is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings!" Tong Jia's Suyu picked up the teacup, took a sip slightly, and replied softly.
"If you don't understand, you can make judgments at will, so why should I care what these people say!"
"You, I really don't know what to say about you, when will you understand the importance of reputation to our women!"
"I've always understood that, but I'm not willing to do those little tricks to buy people's hearts. ”
"You don't understand. ”
"I understand. Erf retorted with a somewhat unpleasant pout.
"If you really understand, then you are not you. Tong Jia's Suyu replied tepidly.
Erph was a little puzzled, and gave a puzzled look.
When Tong Jia's Suyu heard this, she hooked her lips and smiled, but she didn't give an answer.
Because she likes this kind of Erf, it is very easy to get along with people like Erf, there is no need to intrigue, there is no need to hide, there is nothing to say, she can say it openly and honestly, happy and unhappy, all on her face, you don't need to guess, you don't need to try, it's just that there is something unhappy, and the past is over.
The time she spent with Erf was probably the only time she didn't need to use her brain, and she loved it.
In the same way, she will not calculate a sunny person like Erf.
Tong Jia's Suyu was glad more than once in her heart, glad that she was not pointed to the fourth master's mansion with Erfu, although then she would not have to keep the empty boudoir alone every day, and she would have to take care of the concubines and concubines in the mansion, and even replace Erfu to inherit the favor of the fourth master, but she would lose the cleanest friendship with Erfu.
Thinking of this, she smiled sweetly at Erfu again, and said softly, "It's good for you to do this." ”
As she spoke, she took out a well-organized roster from the baggage she was carrying with her and sent it to Erfu, "This is the list of men of appropriate age that you asked me to sort out before.
Some of them don't look at their family backgrounds, but their ancestors have produced a lot of heroes and generals, and some are just recently out of the official eunuchs' families, and now they can't show the height, but they are all good portals, you take a look at yourself, that is, you don't choose for Mo Yaqi Gege in your house, you should also choose for our little seven Gege early!"
"Don't make a fuss, how old is Xiao Qicai!" Erfu said with a little blushing.
In fact, she is a mother, she is really not qualified, if other Fujin people of her identity have Xiao Gege around their knees, most of them have started to prepare for their own Xiao Gege marriage and look at their husband's family very early, and some of them have paid attention to the goal very early, and then the wives often move around, so that the children can have contact from an early age, avoiding the embarrassment of blind marriage and dumb marriage.
And what about her......
She still thinks that Xiao Qi is a child, and there is no need to worry about marriage at all, and it was also the last time she chatted with her titular mother, Ilgen Jue Luo, that she suddenly thought of whether she should look at a suitable husband for Xiao Qi.
But she just listened to it, and soon left it behind.
Today, Tong Jia's Suyu also brought up this issue.
This made her start to reflect on whether she should change her mind, after all, this is not modern.
Sure enough, Tong Jia's Suyu, who was sitting beside Erfu, quickly retorted.
"Xiao Qi Gege is still young, she is still young, in a house like ours, we always have to keep Xiao Gege until they are seventeen or eighteen years old to marry, so look at it, there are still five or six years of time left for you, but you also have to think about those boys of the right age, those good ones, have been selected by other people's families early, are you willing to let your Xiao Qi pick the rest......"
"How can you say it so seriously!"
"It's not serious, then you just wait slowly, and see if you regret it when the time comes......" Tong Jia's Suyu looked at Erfu next to him a little speechlessly, and continued to pour cold water.
Erfu touched her nose a little embarrassed, and picked up the roster that was placed on the table by Tong Jia's Suyu.
She suddenly realized that she should have picked it up early for Xiao Qi.
In fact, just as Tong Jia's Suyu said, she is not in a hurry, the fourth master is not in a hurry, or she didn't think of this matter at all, and the concubine in the palace is not urging, but it does not mean that the local Fujin in other mansions are not in a hurry, and the other local Fujin must have been arranged a long time ago.
Then when Xiao Qi grows up and should discuss marriage, how many of those outstanding sons and daughters will be left, can she regard Xiao Qi as a treasure in the palm of her hand, Xiao Gege of the dignified prince's mansion, and also play the trick of catching her son-in-law under the list, besides, choose the target early, so that Xiao Qi and her future husband can cultivate their relationship early.
No matter in any era, the relationship between childhood sweethearts and two little guesses is always more certain.
Tong Jia's Suyu saw Erfu pick up the roster, and the jade hand covered her lips and smiled slightly, and teased softly: "Now that you know that you are in a hurry, then you shouldn't be in a hurry for a while, this is still in the car, even if you are not afraid of tired eyes, you have to wait carefully for a while to get dizzy!"
"I'm just flipping through it, I specially asked Shilan to invite you over, I just wanted to have a good chat with you!"
"Forget it, I don't know you yet, I guess you don't know how to be in a hurry!"
When Erfu heard this, although she knew that Tong Jia's Suyu was deliberately ridiculing herself, she was still a little embarrassed and a little uncomfortable, she just opened the two-page roster, pretended to smile calmly and talked to Tong Jia's Suyu, talking about clothes, talking about jewelry, and talking about the troubled women at home, and soon covered up the topic that made her a little embarrassed just now.
This person is very boring, boring, and difficult to ride in the car......
However, there was a close friend chatting in front of her to relieve her boredom, and the time passed quite quickly, at least Erfu felt so, she felt that the time had not passed for long, and the snacks and fruits on the tea table had not yet eaten a few pieces, so she sent Tong Jia's Suyu to Prince Jian's courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, and the carriage had already stopped outside the gate of the Old Summer Palace.
At this time, the Old Summer Palace has not been expanded on a large scale, but there are more buildings than in the same period in history.
This is also Erfu's housekeeper is rich enough, and she is not willing to let the fourth master's life be too aggrieved, so she dispatched her own private money, and took the opportunity of her and the fourth master's wedding to rebuild several landscapes of the Old Summer Palace slightly, and expanded a few residences, although the Old Summer Palace is not as majestic and exquisite as the Qianlong Dynasty, but it always has the model of the early Yongzheng Dynasty.
Of course, there are still no temples such as the Zhengda Guangming Hall and the Qinzheng Hall that were built in the Yongzheng Dynasty.
Because it is an exclusive building for the emperor, the current fourth master is still a prince, that is, he has participated in the discussion of politics, and Emperor Kangxi also clearly and secretly pointed out the identity of the heir of the fourth master, but in the end it is still not possible to encroach on the etiquette system, just as bright yellow is the emperor's exclusive color, non-emperor, queen mother, queen can not be used, that is, Yinren who was the crown prince and the imperial concubine who is the same deputy are not allowed to use.
At this time, the big palace gate is just a large courtyard gate with vermilion and gilt copper door nails.
Because Erfu wanted to send Tong Jia's Suyu, Prince Jian's side Fujin, to Prince Jian's other courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, she came a little later than the other ladies in the mansion, and there was no one else waiting at the door except for the guards on duty.
Erf was not a person who pursued pomp and circumstance, so she looked left and right, and sat in the soft sedan waiting at the door and entered the garden.
As for the luggage brought with him, Shilan had already led people to move to Peony Terrace for placement.
She sat in the hollow soft sedan chair on all sides, walked slowly to the peony platform, enjoying the scenery and scenery along the road, this is the first time after the expansion of the Old Summer Palace, Erfu came here, and it was also the first time she came here as a concubine, her mood was a little complicated, as if there was a feeling of raising her eyebrows, and as if there was a feeling of stealing and secretly happy.
