Chapter 1929
Guifu packed up his burden with a blue nose and swollen face, and came to the Xingchen Pavilion with a slumped head.
Xi'er is a palace maid with no foundation, and the means of inheriting favor are not on the table, think about it, you know that the future is bleak, but it has come to this point, and he can't regret it, there is always a time to run, Guifu came to the door of the mottled Star Pavilion, muttered a low word, soothed the unwillingness and unwillingness in his heart, and gently knocked on the door of the courtyard.
Don't ask why the courtyard door is not locked, this is an empty courtyard.
Aixinjue Luo Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, has opened the mansion with the respect of the prince so far, because there are not many wives and concubines in his backyard. There are not many children, in this huge mansion, there are a lot of vacant and idle courtyards, and even the living conditions of the maids who do rough work and sweep are much better than those of the servants of other mansions, the name of this Xingchen Pavilion is good, and there is such a theater building as Lanyue Tower next to it, but the geographical location is really not much, because although this sparrow is small, the courtyard with all the internal organs is tightly blocked by the three-storey Lanyue Building in front, and at the end of a path that even a soft sedan can not be carried into, a vermilion lacquer courtyard door that looks like it is almost scattered, and the paint color is about to fall clean, and there has never been a master in the owner, there is no furniture in this empty courtyard, if it is not for the big kang in the warm pavilion between the west wings, at this time, Xi'er is going to lay on the floor.
The little eunuch who sent Xi'er here didn't care what she did, and left directly after sending her to the gate of the hospital.
At this time, Xi'er, who had not yet woken up from the dream of flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, was still looking forward to a large group of palace maids carrying all kinds of refined furniture and brocade bedding to serve herself, so when she heard the knock on the door outside, she hurriedly tidied up the wrinkled robe on her body, put on a calm and calm noble style, slowly came to the porch, and called softly to the gate of the courtyard: "What person, why did you come here so late, come in and talk back!"
Guifu was speechless and raised his forehead, but he pushed open the courtyard door with a slump and walked in.
The desolate courtyard, the dark house, was lit only by a lantern casually dropped by the little eunuch.
In this situation, Xi'er, who has scattered sideburns, stands under the porch, whether there is a messy beauty, Guifu really doesn't know, but there is a terrifying feeling of seeing a ghost, and a layer of cold sweat unconsciously oozes from his back, which makes him bold, otherwise he just looked up and glanced at it, and he would be scared to pee.
He was not so frightened that he peed, but Xi'er, who stood under the porch and looked at the door by candlelight, cried out.
No wonder Xi'er is like this, it's really a crow that falls on the pig, Guifu can see Xi'er's embarrassed virtue, but he ignores that he was beaten by the fourth master, his nose is blue and his face is swollen, covered with mud, and he is carrying a big burden behind him, which looks like a mouse drilled out of a hole in the ground, but it just so happens that he is still standing in the shadow of the courtyard gate that cannot be illuminated by candlelight, the moonlight is sparse, and Xi'er can't see Guifu's face that has been seriously deformed.
Fortunately, Guifu is a flexible person, he saw that Xi'er looked like a ghost, and hurriedly looked down at the hem of his robe, looking at the traces of Taoism on the hem of the robe, he touched his aching cheek again, and then he understood what was going on, he stepped forward quickly, and showed his identity to Xi'er as he walked: "Xi'er, it's me, I'm Guifu!"
At the same time, he also specially put the red, swollen and bruised face that could not be seen in front of Xi'er.
Xi'er heard that it was Guifu's voice, so she dared to open her closed eyes, and finally saw the identity of the person who came with the angry wind lamp that was turned over on her side, she rolled her eyes angrily, stood up from the ground with a bone, and while sorting out the wrinkled flag dress on her body, she raised her own doubts, and asked coldly: "What the hell is going on, you are not waiting in the study in the front yard at this time, what are you doing here, or this style, you are not afraid of being suspected by the fourth master of my relationship with you......"
"Doubtful, afraid, hehe......
You really underestimate our master, our master's eyes are not rubbing sand at all, look at my face, and then look at my dog-like virtue, you still don't understand, I will be a servant in this Star Pavilion in the future, and I will count on you to rescue me in the future!" How could Guifu not see the disgust in Xi'er's eyes, Xi'er saw that he was not happy, and he was not willing to come to this place where birds don't, he dropped the burden he was carrying, picked up the lantern that Xi'er threw next to him, and said coldly.
"Then what should we do, if the fourth master knows about us, then what hope do I have in the future!" Xi'er heard this, and sat on the ground with a pale face like a mourning exam, she didn't care about whether her demeanor was dignified and calm, grabbed Guifu's clothes, and asked in a throat.
In this deserted courtyard with a bleak night wind, the pity who wails and asks Guifu is like a ghost.
Guifu pushed away Xi'er, who was pulling his own clothes, with a disgusted face, and said coldly: "Ask for more blessings, if your stomach is competitive enough, maybe we can still have a chance to turn over, otherwise we are ready to die of old age in this deserted yard!"
After speaking, he directly stepped over Xi'er and walked towards the dark room in front of him.
Through the sparse moonlight outside the window, Guifu finally saw the situation in the small three rooms clearly, one side is the warm pavilion with the door wide open, and the other side is the inner room separated by the floor cover, the hall is empty, the ground is paved with inconspicuous green bricks, everywhere is gray and abrupt, he raised his hand to touch the dust on the floor cover, looked at the thick dust on his fingers, turned around and dragged the burden he had left at the door in.
Thanks to his foresight, he collected and packed all kinds of things that he could use and didn't need in his house, otherwise he didn't know how to spend the night tonight, and he didn't even have a chair, saying that this place was part of the magnificent Four Masters' Mansion, and it was estimated that the most uninformed Zhuang family mother-in-law would not believe it!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again.
"Don't put the master's score at the door, you still expect the housekeeper to arrange someone to serve you, then you have to get up early tomorrow at the earliest, let's still think about how to spend tonight, I have a whole set of bedding here, and some candle heads and half a box of silver charcoal, so that this room can be bright, and it can also bake a fire and warm up the body, whether we are in dire straits in the future, or like a fish in water, then we have to count on your stomach!" Guifu didn't want to work alone inside and out, he opened the baggage skin, carefully stuffed the little personal money in the baggage into the inner pocket of his coat, turned his head and yelled at Xi'er who was still sobbing and wiping his tears on the ground.
To put it bluntly, he didn't treat Xi'er as his own master.
The palace maid once climbed the bed successfully, and there are many of them, but whether they can sit firmly on the throne of the master in the mansion, whether they can gain a firm foothold in the mansion, that is really an unknown, at least in the current situation, he feels that Xi'er is a fool who wastes his efforts, but why didn't he control his own hands, otherwise it would be impossible for him to fall into such a fate today, if he wants him to coax Xi'er in a good voice at this time, he really doesn't have such a good temper.
When Xi'er heard this, she was slightly stunned, but she quickly got up from the ground and was busy with Guifu.
Because she also knows that she is not qualified to argue with Guifu now, and the little eunuch Guifu who is serving in the study in the front yard wants to compare, whether she is in terms of connections or decency, there is nothing to compare, when she was serving in the main courtyard before, she could still break her wrists with Guifu, but now she is a cheap maid who climbs the bed with her back, those little sisters who are commensurate with her sisters, who dares to associate with her, it is estimated that those people in the main courtyard have eaten her heart.
There is no candle holder, and the thick candle head is placed directly on the ground that is out of the way.
There are no tables and chairs, and the whole set of tea sets is placed on the kang in the warm pavilion between the west corners.
There was no bed, and the dirty, smelly bedding was spread directly on the kang with only straw mats.
There are no cabinets, and some bits and pieces are wrapped in furoshiki and hung directly on the carved floor cover.
A burden, even if someone is tall, there are not many things, and it will be cleaned up after a while, the silver charcoal is piled up in the earthen stove built with a few green bricks and lit, Guifu has no leisure to continue to clean up the house, directly around the mattress, and Xi'er face to face on the kang, on this slight temperature, began to discuss what to do in the future.
Xi'er is confused in her mind now, where is there an idea, naturally what Guifu says, she will respond, until Guifu said that she wanted her to go to the main courtyard to find Yujie to admit her mistake, she shook her head and objected.
"You are a little palace maid who has no family to rely on, if you can't even rely on the previous master, do you think you have any way out in this mansion, I let you go to the main courtyard to find Yujie to admit your mistakes, not to let you sincerely apologize, but just let you blame the master for the mistakes of this matter, and only in this way, you may still get some help from the main courtyard, at least your life is not too sad, and you admit your mistakes sincerely, even if Fu Jin comes back, it is not too difficult for you, otherwise it will seem that Fu Jin's strength is too small。 Guifu looked at the stupid woman in front of him speechlessly, but he could only persuade patiently, since he came to the Star Pavilion, he didn't know how many times he regretted that he couldn't control the greed at the beginning, it was this little greed that could be regarded as killing him.
Xi'er is still the same dead look, but she is also a little shaken.
She understands Erfu's soft-hearted character better than Guifu, and she is willing to beg this old master, this old master will save her, just go to Yujie to admit her mistakes, the little pride in her heart does not allow her to do this, so she still shook her head and refused Guifu's arrangement, in order to dispel this idea for Guifu, she even raised the identity of being the fourth master woman, and roared in a low voice: "Don't say it, no matter how my life is, but Yujie and I are different from the master and servant, how can I go to her to admit my mistake and submit to it!"
"You don't admit your mistakes, you can't lose those inexplicable self-esteem, are you going to stay in this Star Pavilion and get moldy, if that's the case, then don't blame me for being noble and unrighteous, starting tomorrow, we'll be busy, I'll find my previous way, I don't want to die here with you!" When Guifu heard this, he sneered and threatened, he was serious, although he was kicked out of the front yard study by the fourth master, but he has been serving in the house since the opening of the fourth master's mansion, and there are always some good friends who smell the same, pulling him out of the fire pit, he can still do it, he can always find a slightly better environment to be an errand, and it is better than being in the Xingchen Pavilion for the rest of his life.
Xi'er also knew this, and because of this, she hurriedly grabbed Guifu's arm and said in a low voice: "You really can't bear to leave me like this, I know that you treat me as a sister, otherwise you won't help me get the favor of the fourth master, although the current situation is a little different from what I expected before, but I believe that my brother will protect me and help me!"
Guifu shook off Xi'er's hand, jumped directly to the ground, pointed at Xi'er, who still wanted to pretend to be pitiful, and directly pierced the layer of window paper: "Don't talk to Lao Tzu about these brothers and sisters, Lao Tzu has no leisure to talk nonsense with you, if you are willing to listen to my arrangement, you should quickly go to the gate of the main courtyard and kneel to ask for sin, if you don't want to, let's go our separate ways, I will take my single-plank bridge, and you will take your Yangguan Road."
I helped you before, it was a transaction, and it has nothing to do with what brother and sister relationship.
You should know the bullshit brother and sister relationship, you don't believe in these things, and I don't believe in these things, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live in this mansion, but anyone who can survive in this mansion, who really believes in such a thing as feelings!" After speaking, he squatted next to the charcoal fire with his arms crossed, looking like he had completely drawn a line with Xi'er.
Seeing that she couldn't move Guifu, she also restrained her tears, bit her fingers and pondered for a moment, nodded, and finally agreed to do what Guifu wanted, she deliberately pulled her hair up a little, and came to Guifu with a cloak, and said in a low voice: "Help, I can't do it myself!"
"What are you going to do?" asked Guifu, a little puzzled.
"Hit me, hit me in the face, beat me badly.
Since I want to make a play, this play has to do a full set, and I always have to pretend that tonight's events are an accident, I can't resist the strong fourth master, so I will betray Fujin, and I will make this dress dirty for a while, otherwise I can't hide Yujie's eyes, she is the first person to follow Fujin's side, and when she sees my clothes, she will definitely find clues, if it weren't for the fact that I don't have clothes that can be replaced, I should change into the most ordinary palace maid's robe.
But now it can only be arranged like this, maybe I can fool the past!" "Xi'er is more ruthless than Guifu, and she is a person who can be ruthless to herself, she explained to Guifu while desperately pulling the few strands of long hair hanging down her ears, and at the same time did not forget to tear out a few holes in the robe on her body.
