......

The next morning, Erf looked at the empty bed beside her, and couldn't tell whether it was light or heavy, in short, something was not good.

She raised her hand and rubbed her slightly pantothenic eyes, and softly called someone in to serve her makeup.

"Are they all here?" Erfu, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, asked casually, playing with a delicately carved jade Ruyi in her hand, she remembered that this was a birthday gift specially created for herself by the gold and jade craftsman in the Fourth Master's Destiny Palace last year.

Shilan replied in a low voice: "Except for the Wulanala Clan's side Fujin in the West Courtyard and the sick Li side Fujin, the other masters of the courtyard have all arrived, and even a few Gege from the Qinghui Pavilion in front have also come to greet you with the housekeeper's grandmother." ”

Erfu nodded and continued to ask, "Isn't Li Hezhu's body still well?"

The Li side Fujin mentioned by Shilan is not the biological mother of Mo Yaqi and Hongyun, but the Li Hezhu Li Fang Fujin who lives in the Wushuang Pavilion.

"Yes, I got up early today, and Mama Han came to beg you to ask Li Fangfujin to ask a doctor to take a look. ”

"Since you are not in good health, then take care of it, and later you ask Zhao Dezhu to take my post to the front yard, let the people in the front yard arrange this matter, find a better imperial doctor to take a closer look at her, and send some nourishing medicines over." When Erf heard this, she pondered for a moment and commanded in a low voice.

After speaking, she waited for Shilan to arrange her hair in a bun, and then led the people to the hall where she was meeting guests.

With a loud message, a group of women in the hall who were talking about it all stood up to salute Erf, who was walking slowly, and Erfu sat in his seat indifferently, looked at the top of his head, and said loudly: "My sisters, you don't need to be so polite, everyone should sit down and talk." ”

At this time, all the concubines present are the concubines of the fourth master, and those Gege in Honghui Courtyard are still waiting in the side hall.

With Erfu screaming, all the women in the hall got up and sat down, their movements were uniform, but they also had their own charm in it, Erfu only noticed that they were all carefully dressed and delicate, obviously they didn't know that the fourth master didn't stay in the main courtyard yesterday!

At the same time, she also sighed in her heart: No wonder they came so neatly.

Elf really thought that they were full of awe of themselves, and did not dare to play those cautious eyes that could not be put on the stage......

Sure enough, the moment they noticed that Erfu was not accompanied by the fourth master, their faces changed.

However, they are not all little Ula Nara clans who don't talk and don't go out of their minds, and they don't have to do it with Erfu, the concubine, for the sake of asking for peace, although they are a little disappointed that the fourth master can't see the well-dressed himself, but he also doesn't let the fourth master see the other foxes, and finally it's not cheap, so it's still the same well-behaved appearance, and he accompanies Erfu to say something that is not salty or light.

Erfu didn't waste much time with them, leaving them to stay in the main courtyard for enough tea, so he issued an eviction order.

She easily sent away these warblers and Yanyan in the backyard of the fourth master, but she did not directly let people notify the concubines of Qinghui Pavilion to come over to ask for peace, but covered her mouth and nose, and instructed Shilan, who was waiting next to her, to open the window and door, and wait for the cool autumn wind to blow away the fat powder in the room, so that people went to call the concubines of Qinghui Pavilion to come and ask for peace.

"The concubine invites Prince Yong to be blessed with Jin'an, and Fu Jin is blessed. Qingya and the others obediently greeted the courtesy.

According to the rules, these concubines in the courtyard of Qinghui Pavilion are not qualified to call Erfu, the concubine, Eniang, just like when Erfu was a side Fujin, they couldn't call the concubine in the palace Eniang.

Erfu bowed her head slightly with a light smile on her face, and said softly, "It's all good boys, sit down quickly." ”

As she spoke, she didn't forget to explain to Dai Gege why she asked them to wait in the side hall for a while, "Just now, the ladies of the various courtyards came to greet me, and the room was full of fat powder, I was afraid that you would not be used to it, so I specially asked people to wait for the smell in this room to dissipate, and then let you come over, after all, you are pregnant now, you should be cautious." ”

Lao Fujin remembered, and the concubine was in his heart. Dai Gege said gratefully.

Erfu had no intention of making enemies for her in the Qinghui Pavilion, and she didn't want to show special concern for these concubines in the Qinghui Pavilion, so she just nodded lightly for her gratitude, and let her sit back in her own seat, no longer paying too much attention to it, and directly talked to the small Gege present about some of the arrangements of the fourth master.

"The maidservants you brought to Zhuangzi before, I'm afraid they won't be able to be used. ”

Because of Qingya, the subordinates they brought to the village were all co-opted and corrupted by the head of the village, not only did they not want to help the master, but they also started to bully the master.

"Yesterday, I asked Qing Dai to go back to the house first, originally thinking that I would arrange some new people for you to serve. ”

Don't look at Qingya's identity is not high, it's just that Honghui has no grade of concubines in front of her, but in the end she is half a master, and she can't be served without servants.

"But the prince is worried about you, Honghui is also a careful child, and he asked Su Peisheng to arrange it early. ”

Yesterday, before the fourth master went to the court, he arranged for Fu Nai and Su Peisheng to go to the treasury of Qinghui Pavilion, arrange various furnishings and adjust the arrangement of servants and miscellaneous servants.

"It's just that they are all men who worry about big things in the end, and the servants and servants arranged may not be in line with your mind. ”

There are a lot of people to be replaced for a while, so it is natural to focus on the people in front of Honghui, such as Qingya and other servants in the Gege Courtyard, how to arrange it, Su Peisheng and Fu Nai are a little careless.

Erfu heard that they had arranged to go to Qingya yesterday and the little maids who were waiting for them in front of them came back and said that Qingya didn't even have a little palace maid on night duty in their room, and if it weren't for the people she assigned to serve them, they wouldn't even be able to drink hot water.

"In a while, I'll ask the housekeeper to bring some of the little palace maids newly assigned to the house by the Internal Affairs Office to show you. ”

There are a lot of people in the house who sent them back to the Internal Affairs Office, and there are also a lot of people who are thrown out, and they really can't allocate extra manpower to serve Qingya and them, but fortunately, they got up early and sent a batch of them temporarily, all of them are eleven or twelve-year-old girls, which are just right to plug this hole.

"This is a good seedling taught by the old lady in the palace, the rules are good, and the knowledge is also interesting, staying in front of him is to run errands and pass the word, or do some delicate work of serving tea and water, just right, you see, pick two people who are in their own minds, and wait for the right person to send people into the house another day, and then complete the servant who is on an errand in the courtyard. ”

Although there are not many palace maids sent by the Internal Affairs Office, it is barely enough to distribute two per person, so let's make do with it first.

Erfu conveyed the arrangement of the fourth master to Qingya and the others quite vaguely, and seeing that Qingya and the others understood what they meant, they gave Shilan a look, and asked Shilan to lead the little palace maid who had just entered the mansion to come in and show them a look.

I have to say that the people on the other side of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are really eye-catching.

Fu Nai, the chief of the house, had just sent back a batch, and the next day a group of newcomers were sent, looking at the rules and appearance were better than the previous ones, but he didn't look at the fourth master being grounded and punished, so he neglected it at all.

After a short while, Shilan led a group of little palace maids back to the hall.

Erfu raised her eyes to see that the twelve delicate little palace maids were like rulers measuring in unison, and when she called out, she did not peek around, but neatly lined up in three rows, standing in the middle of the hall with her head bowed in a proper manner, waiting for Erfu and Qingya to choose the best to see.

She was reluctant to meddle in the affairs of Qinghui Pavilion, so she just asked the name perfunctorily, and directly handed over the work of selecting close palace maids to each of Qingya and them, and let them choose their favorite palace maids.

"Go forward and see, and stay if you see what's suitable. After saying that, she led Shilan to the small hall next to her to drink tea.

It was really hard enough to get up early in the morning to arrange these things, and I didn't even have time to drink saliva.

It's just that before she and Shilan poured the bitter water, told their own hardships and grievances, and by the way ate two pieces of dim sum cushion alone, Qingya and they chose the palace maid to stay, Erfu had to cheer up again and came to the hall, she looked at the palace maid who had stood behind everyone, rewarded the silver and the meeting gift according to the rules, and simply admonished two sentences, and let Qingya and them lead people back.

As for the four people who were unsuccessful, Erfu didn't let the grandmother from the Internal Affairs Office bring them back.

Although a small election is held every year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs takes the lead in selecting women of the right age from the Baoyi Banner to teach the rules, and then either send them to the palace to serve, or send them to the clan palace to serve, but it is never enough, after all, the loss rate of the palace maids in these places is a little high, especially in the palace, so if there are sent to the house, they must stay quickly.

Erff looked at the remaining four men, pondered for a moment, and assigned them to Shiran.

"Let them follow you first, you carefully teach them the rules of the house, and take a good look at their temperament, and then let Zhao Dezhu ask Su Peisheng to inquire about their origins, and send them to Xiao Qi without any problems." ”

Shilan understood what Erf meant, nodded with a smile, and took on this errand that was not light.

Chapter 1653

And this scene is obviously not the case in Honghui's eyes, he was already ordered by the Wulanala clan to be cautious about guarding against this high-level concubine, although he once felt that his own mother was a little worried, but seeing this concubine appear in the house again with the respect of his stepmother's concubine, he couldn't help but feel that his mother was such a smart person.

Now this stepmother, who is quite skillful, actually showed a smile like a wolf grandmother in front of herself and Amma.

A layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from Honghui's back, and all kinds of terrifying pictures inevitably appeared in his mind, a face that was not much blood was a little whiter, and he looked at his Ama as if asking for help, hoping to be comforted by Amma's warmth.

It's a pity that the fourth master has never been an iceberg character who is good at playing a loving father.

He looked at Honghui who didn't answer for a long time with a cold expression, frowned slightly displeased, and coughed lightly twice, this was already the limit of what he could do, because he really didn't know how to ease the somewhat weird atmosphere in front of him, and Honghui's cowering appearance really made him unhappy.

Fortunately, it was Erph who reacted first, and she played the role of the Ulanala clan.

But it has little effect, there is no way, one is the fourth master who is dissatisfied with Honghui's dissatisfaction, and the other is the stepson who is wary of her, that is, she has the ability to fight the Confucianism with her tongue, I am afraid that she will not be able to play two or three points, not to mention that she is not a person who can speak well.

"Ming'er, you still have to lead Honghui into the palace to greet the emperor, it's better to let him go back and rest early!"

Yes, this is Erf's killer feature.

The fourth master is not a person who does not feel sorry for the child, he looked at Honghui's white miserable face, frowned slightly, nodded in agreement, and commanded Honghui in a deep voice: "You are a troublemaker, leaving a lot of trouble, and it is even more burdensome for your imperial grandfather to worry about you, and now that you are back in the house, you want to go into the palace to kowtow to your imperial grandfather and mother." ”

"The child understood. Honghui hurriedly got up and answered.

"Well, then you can go back and rest early, if there is anything, let's talk about it later!" the fourth master continued.

Honghui didn't want to stay in the main courtyard for a long time, so he bowed his hand to the fourth master with a sigh of relief, and left the hall with the guide maid, and walked straight to the Qinghui Pavilion in the front yard.

It's just that the fourth master who sent Honghui away here is not easy.

Now the emperor's body is not as good as day by day, and the open and secret battles between the princes are becoming more and more frequent, and the scope of involvement is becoming more and more extensive.

For these things, the fourth master really didn't want to bring them back to the house, but he couldn't help but talk to Erfu.

"Then Honghui will come back at this time, it shouldn't cause any unnecessary trouble!" Although Erfu is not good at scheming, she is not a fool, and when the fourth master talks about this matter so seriously, she inevitably thinks of Honghui who has just left.

Sure enough, the fourth master nodded with a wry smile, and that smile made people feel sad.

"This is a certain thing, if it is not sent by the emperor, the prince and grandson of such a prince are not allowed to leave Beijing easily, Honghui is the eldest son of the lord, and then he made false news like fake death, and even the emperor's holy decree to posthumously crown the title has been issued, and those brothers of the lord are not allowed to climb to death at this time!" The fourth master took the tea cup handed by Erfu and said softly.

When the news of Honghui's death reached Jingzhong, he didn't want to believe it so hastily, but ......

At this moment, the fourth master hated the people of the Wulanala clan who put pressure on him at that time.
