The weather is getting cooler, Erfu, who has always been afraid of cold, has already let people set up a charcoal basin in the room, unless necessary, and rarely walks outside, even the palace Concubine Niangniang has not been as diligent as before, and people who don't know the inside story still think that she is pregnant again, and she is hiding in the house to have a baby!
Erf didn't want to explain this.
Even when she asked for peace, there were always people who secretly looked at her stomach, and she just didn't see it.
However, people's hearts are sinister, she thinks that she is doing things above board, and she is generous and generous to everyone in the house, but it is inevitable that there will be some cautious people who like to guess with a vicious and sinister heart.
On this day, she saw the women who came to ask for peace in the hall as usual, and after the women here finished the fight, they cleared their throats and said softly: " It's autumn in the blink of an eye, the affairs of the grange are busy, I discussed it with the fourth master, so I decided to go to the suburbs of Beijing to live for a few days, the house's chores will be handed over to Aunt Yuxiu and the three side Fu Jin are responsible, and later I will let people send the cards to the three side Fu Jin, I hope that the three sisters can be discussed when dealing with affairs, everything is precious, and I also hope that the other sisters can keep to themselves, don't think about causing trouble. β
"The concubine body and the concubine obey the order. The three side Fujin led by Tong Jiashi led all the women to kneel down and say.
Erf didn't want to make rules for these people, and simply said that she was leaving the house, and then let the big guys disperse.
"Master, I want the slave to say, you really don't have to run around so much, the head of the village is responsible for the affairs of the village, you can take care of the accounts sent over, why do you have to run in person!" Aunt Yuxiu, who got the news, hurriedly rushed over from across the courtyard, just when Erfu led Shiqing and others to pack their luggage, she hurriedly bowed, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, with a face full of disapproval.
In this regard, Erfu also has her own opinion.
She smiled and pointed to the official hat chair placed under her head, motioned for Aunt Yuxiu to sit down and speak, and explained softly: "This little Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing is inconspicuous, if it was said before, it is naturally not worth going to see in person no matter what I say, but now it is the place where I and the fourth master chose to provide for the servants of the palace in the palace, since it is a blessing and a favor, then I can't let this matter become a face-saving job." β
"Then the master can also arrange for the maid of the palace who is waiting by his side to betray you on your behalf!"
"Aunt Yuxiu, it's not that I don't trust these palace maids and servants around me, and I don't want them to walk outside for me, but this matter involves the pension of many palace maids and servants in the house, I really don't want to fake my hands to others, and I have lived in this house for a long time, it is inevitable that I will be a little bored, and now it is the most lively time in the village, I also want to go to relax, I finally persuaded the fourth master to agree with my selfish ideas, and my aunt will not persuade me. β
"Well, the master is outside, be careful. Aunt Yuxiu saw that she couldn't persuade Erfu, so she didn't say more, nodded and took the pair of cards handed over by Erfu, and said another word, and then turned around and left the main courtyard room.
Seeing Aunt Yuxiu out of the room, Erfu turned around and went back to the inner room.
In fact, this trip out of the house, she is also under a lot of pressure, she originally wanted to lead her close servants and guards to the village to take a look, as soon as possible to go back as soon as possible, but after discussing it with the fourth master, I don't know how the news spread out, first Xiao Qi, the girl with a dead face, pestered herself to go with her, and then Mo Yaqi also came up, and it was a loss to make up two Gege who had no inheritance, otherwise it would give her great courage, and she would also give up this planned trip.
But even if she led two little Gege who had no inheritance, she would still be scared, so when the fourth master came to stay overnight that night, Erfu hugged the fourth master's arm and complained, complained that the fourth master spoiled the children too much, and complained that the fourth master did not have the slightest sense of danger in times of peace, and the two of them lay on the bed like this and tossed around for most of the night, until the drum beat of the third and a half watches sounded outside, and Erfu fell asleep holding the fourth master's arm in a daze.
When it was dawn the next day, she endured the soreness and discomfort all over her body and got up, and fiercely glanced at the fourth master who was sitting at the table drinking porridge, and angrily let Shilan help herself sit in front of the dressing table to make up, and gritted her teeth and said: "I went to the village with the children, and the master has to abide by the rules of the house, and do things willfully and recklessly, just do it once, otherwise don't blame the concubine for coming back to be angry with your favorite concubines." β
After speaking, he threw a big white eye to the fourth master.
"Ye didn't think that you were going to leave the house to go to the village today, and there were many things I didn't explain to you, otherwise I wouldn't have ignored the rules of the house. The fourth master also knew that Erfu was being tossed by himself, and he didn't care about Erfu's words, but smiled and came to Erfu's approach, and laughed like those ruffians who played yo-yos and walked around with their arms on the street, and at the same time his eyes swept over Erfu's delicate figure covered by a flag like a hook.
ββββββββ
He said with a smile.
"It's really a blessing for him to have you take care of the fourth. Concubine Tong Jia took a sip, the temperature of the almond milk was just right, not too hot, not too cold, and the sweetness lingered between her mouth, making her feel a different kind of enjoyment.
When Erfu heard this, she smiled shyly and lowered her head, "The concubine is wrong." β
Concubine Tong Jia waved her hand slightly, withdrew the palace maids waiting on the left and right, and said with a smile: "This palace never tells lies, having you by the side of the fourth child is definitely the blessing of the fourth child, and it is also the blessing of the fourth blessing." You are a little different from other people, you don't care about the fame and fortune that others care about, you don't care, all you care about is the heart of the fourth child to you, although it makes people think that you are a little stupid, but this palace likes your character very much. β
As she spoke, she had already grabbed Erfu's hands that were mixed together, her eyes were shining with water, and her tone was extremely flat, but she whispered with a bit of solemnity: "You should know that the fourth child was raised in the palace of my sister in the palace when he was a child, right?"
"This matter is not a secret, the concubine naturally knows about it. Because she couldn't figure out Concubine Tong Jia's intentions for a while, Erfu showed a trace of incomprehension in her eyes and nodded.
"At that time, Bengong often took the fourth child, but he regarded him as a younger brother. A few years ago, when Bengong saw that he and Concubine Wu Ya were not on good terms, he always frowned, and he was very uneasy......
Would you like to talk to Bengong about him?" In the end, Concubine Tong Jia was a little out of shape.
There was a hint of pleading in her tone, and her eyes were filled with mist, and a pair of hands clasped Erfu's hand tightly, so that on the back of Erfu's hand, there were few months of tooth marks in an instant, and the most serious crescent marks were obviously oozing blood.
"Master he is very good, in the end, he is a mother and son, where is there an overnight feud, if you talk about it, it will naturally be fine. "Before, Erfu had heard the fourth master talk about his adoptive mother, Queen Tong Jia, and the fourth master had also said that Concubine Tong Jia, the elder who is also a sister and mother, cared about him, so Concubine Tong Jia's question was a little out of line, but she still replied with a smile.
It's just that she respects Concubine Tong Jia, but she doesn't respect Queen Tong Jia.
In her opinion, Queen Tong Jia has no maternal love for the fourth master, otherwise she would not use such a big child as a tool to compete for favor, and let the fourth master who is not yet ignorant do things to please her, no wonder the fourth master has such a rebellious period and deliberately makes the old man Kangxi angry!
Fortunately, although Concubine Tong Jia and Queen Tong Jia are from the same family, they have been immersed in the palace for half their lives, and they are no longer a simple girl who is obsessed with sisterhood all day long, so they don't feel that what Erfu said is harsh, but that Erfu is real.
Maybe it's because of Erfu's truthfulness and recklessness that the fourth master, a cold, rigorous and rigid man, will pounce his whole heart on her!
--Concubine Tong Jia thought so, her eyes were full of satisfaction with Erfu, and she smiled and nodded, "It's good to be reconciled, the fourth child has lived a wronged life in this life, and this palace really hopes that he can have a loving mother to protect him, but fortunately, it's not too late." β
Erfu grinned silently, agreeing with Concubine Tong Jia's words.
"This palace thinks you have a very good business mind, did your mother teach you?" Although Concubine Tong Jia knew that Erfu would not harm the fourth master, she was still worried that the partition wall had ears, even if there were her close guards guarding her left and right, so she changed the topic after just asking.
"It's just a little cleverness. β
Although Erfu didn't know if the original owner had learned to do business with Guo Luoluo, it was inferred from the rules of her meetings with the people of Guarjia Mansion who had not seen her once in the past few years, and Guo Luoluo would not be close to the original owner, let alone carefully teach her about these things in charge, so when Concubine Tong Jia smelled it, she had no psychological pressure, and she didn't feel that she was lying and replied plainly.
Although Concubine Tong Jia is a little woman, she has also read a lot of books, and she is not like those conceited and noble literati who think that businessmen are inferior to others when they do business for profit, but think that it is a good thing for the country and the people that merchants are prosperous and prosperous, and that the business houses are connected to the north and the south.
At this time, seeing Erf's embarrassed expression, he explained with a smile: "This is not clever.
If there are no merchants, relying only on those big men in the weaving house, we are afraid that we will have to wear thick brocade all day long, how can there be those light yarn graceful silk in summer!
If there were no merchants, what would ordinary people eat and use?
If you look at it according to the palace, this merchant who ranks last in the 'Shinong Industry and Commerce' has made no worse contribution to our Qing Dynasty than others. β
"Niangniang's words, I'm afraid that the ninth master is the most favorite to hear. "Erfu is from modern times, she exudes shyness, but she is not used to being praised by others like this, but she doesn't think that businessmen are inferior, so she doesn't have any objection to Concubine Tong Jia's words, but feels that Concubine Tong Jia's words are very reasonable.
The era of bartering has long since come to an end.
Except for some rural households living in the mountains, they also live a self-sufficient life, that is, the residents of remote towns, and the daily food, clothes, and bedding are all bought from the street.
In Erf's opinion, as long as the imperial court can introduce corresponding laws to regulate the behavior of merchants, prohibit price hikes and hoarding, this thriving and prosperous street market is definitely a matter of benefiting the people, but she does not intend to say this at this time.
She plans to wait until their family Sisi ascends the throne and then let Sisi promote it.
It is best to say that the four elementary school students have opened the sea ban and formed a navy, which can not only prevent the attack of the Eight-Nation Alliance in a hundred years, protect the safety of the coastline, but also communicate with overseas and rebuild the Maritime Silk Road, so that the people who are worried about the Japanese invaders going ashore to burn, kill and loot can really live a happy and peaceful life, but she knows that this is definitely not an easy road to take.
Although there is no Qianlong edict to close the country, but those courtiers have been fighting over the matter of the sea ban, and the old man Kangxi has not had a clear indication that the people in Fujian and other places also have ships to go to sea, but in the end it is not a climate of small fights, and there is even the risk of being attacked by the Japanese invaders.
The sailors in Fujian and other places are also too incompetent, and it is very difficult to deal with those Japanese who come ashore to harass them, and they cannot be compared with the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry who are now brave and good at fighting and sweeping the Central Plains, which makes Erfu feel worried.
Europe invented the red-coated cannon as early as the sixteenth century, and it was introduced to the Central Plains in the late Ming Dynasty.
But in the past few years, I don't know if the old man Kangxi is old, kind-hearted, or doesn't want to make too many killings, he actually sealed all the information about the part of firearms, and half of the firearms that were studied before have also stopped, which is the most anxious for Erfu, only strong soldiers and horses and well-armed weapons can resist those greedy wolves, and there will not be the tragedy of fighting muskets and artillery with flesh and blood.
"Lao Jiu is a money, but he doesn't use his money in the right place. "Concubine Tong Jia is not untargeted, she has no children, and she doesn't need to worry about family affairs anymore, so she can see it more clearly than the fourth child and other people who are involved in the Kowloon seizure incident, this is the so-called bystander Qing.
Lao Ba made a pretense of a gentle son all day long, but behind his back he used money to buy courtiers for his own use, and even opened the door to corruption among some officials, which was simply gambling on the future of the Qing Dynasty, and put a greedy rat into the granary, she didn't believe that the rat would not eat rice, nor did she believe that the rat would have a full day.
And just as Erfu was rushing to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing in a carriage, a carriage from the south of the Yangtze River entered the city.
