Chapter 1914
She personally served the Ulanara clan to wash and rest, and finally found an excuse to leave, but missed the time when the hanging flower door in the front yard and the back house was locked.
Fortunately, the Wulanala clan was in a good mood at this time, and they didn't think about continuing to toss Jenny and Yuhu.
She was half-lying on the bed, and by the faint candlelight in the room, she looked at the two concubines beside the bed, who were a little unsightly, and said with a smile: "It's so late if you don't pay attention, don't toss back and forth, just make up for the night in the wing room in my courtyard." ”
After speaking, the Ulanala clan did not wait for the two to answer, and ordered Lu Yi to take the two down to rest.
The west courtyard can be said to be a courtyard with the most rooms in the house, after all, the original owner who lived here was Erfu children's shoes, in addition to the two-story and a half-story embroidery building with five rooms wide and five rooms where the Wulanala clan lived, there were more than ten rooms on both sides of the courtyard, in addition, the wing room, the inverted seat, the back cover room and the surrounding room, bits and pieces were added together, there were forty or fifty rooms.
Among them, in addition to the embroidery building where the Wulanala clan lives and the backyard wing room she used to hold the dowry, and then excluding the inverted seat and back cover room where the palace maids and servants live, there are dozens of empty rooms, which is why Erfu was extremely favored at the beginning, otherwise where would the fourth master have the leisure to repair such a spacious, tidy and elegant courtyard for Erfu, but it is not overdue, so that the Wulanala clan, who was still a concubine, could not speak, and she was afraid that she would care too much about these subsections and be put on a jealous hat.
But all this completely disappeared after she lived in the West Courtyard.
This most spacious and gorgeous courtyard once became the residence of her Ulanala clan, and all the elegant furnishings that the fourth master bothered to make at the beginning, except for some of the private rooms recorded in Erfu's name, became her private rooms.
It's just that the two little concubines of the elder brother in the mansion are Gege, and they can just stuff them into any side room, and they don't even need to prepare in advance, otherwise the Ulanala clan wouldn't have the confidence to summon them over to serve the sick so much.
Green Yi also arranged it in this way, stuffed the second daughter into the east wing of the second entrance, and ordered two little palace maids to serve her, and she went back to give the Wulanala clan.
The West Courtyard is a standard four-entry courtyard.
The first room to enter is the least, except for the inverted seat room is a finely carved shadow wall, here live in the courtyard of the two chief eunuchs and a few errand boys, and three or five rough servants who do sprinkling and sweeping, and there is a small gatekeeper who guards the door.
The second entrance is the hall and the east and west wings of the Ulanala clan hospitality gathering.
It is no surprise that the hall is a place where the Wulanala clan is serious to entertain guests, and the west wing room is arranged as a tea room where visitors sit and rest since childhood, and the east wing room is a warm pavilion with three rooms, which was originally a place for entertaining the ladies who came to the house to change clothes and freshen up.
This has just become the temporary residence of Yuhu Gege and Zhenni.
As for the third entry, that is the residence of the Ulanala clan, that is, the two-story embroidered building and the east and west wings on both sides that made her envious and jealous, this is the private territory of the Ulanala clan, and non-cronies want to lean into this courtyard, in addition to these main structures in the courtyard, the end of the corridor on both sides of the corridor connecting the wings, and the moon cave door that goes to the east and west across the courtyard, she also plans to follow Erfu's original arrangement, and use the two sides of the courtyard as her residence for giving birth to children in the future.
Other than that, it's the fourth in.
The fourth is a row of back cover rooms and small kitchens, the back cover room is the residence of the Ulanara clan's close palace maids, and the kitchen ladies live directly in the ear room closer to the small kitchen.
Although after the Wulanala clan moved into the west courtyard, the layout here is a little different from the past, but the arrangement of the courtyards on each floor is similar to when Erfu lived here, the biggest difference is that the small garden behind the embroidery building was bulldozed and paved with bricks by the fourth master before the Wulanala clan entered the door, and those rare flowers and trees were moved to the main courtyard where Erfu now lives.
The Ulanala clan knew this, and it was the reason why she was even more disgusted with Erf.
In the eyes of the Ulanala clan, Erfu is a vixen in sheep's clothing, the more harmless and gentle and considerate she behaves on her face, the more she is full of ghost ideas in her heart, especially when she fails to insert people in the main courtyard several times, she feels that Erfu is scheming, but she doesn't know that her small actions are all disabled by the fourth master.
And at this moment, Erfu, who was thinking about the Wulanala clan, led Xiao Qi to take stock of the accounts in the house.
The fourth master is educating children, and he is really almost a bowl of water, he doesn't agree with the saying that a woman is virtuous if she is talentless, and then with the assistance of Concubine De Niangniang, Xiao Qi's homework is getting more and more heavy, while learning poetry, books, etiquette and music with the female gentleman invited by the house with a high salary, and on the other hand, he has to learn the rules with the senior grandmother sent by Concubine De.
Originally, Erfu thought that this was a rule, so why did she need to prepare an old woman from the palace in the house.
But then she knew how ignorant she was, this so-called learning rules, not only to learn etiquette in terms of words and deeds, but also to learn the means of governing the family, but also to be familiar with the complex in-law relationship between the famous families in Beijing, the royal family and nobles, in addition, but also to understand some unworthy private means, such as Xiao Qi such a royal character, the top of the family has been following their own mother and the housekeeper since childhood.
Regarding this aspect, Xiao Qi learned quite hard.
First, she has never been exposed to these things, and Teaching Mama Xi is too serious, and she has to think about it several times most of the time, so that she can understand the meaning of Mama Xi.
The second is Erf's problem.
Erfu's words and deeds have made Xiao Qi more kind and benevolent than other royal families, and she can't dispose of her servants as a tool or a thing at will, so she is a little disgusted from the bottom of her heart for teaching Mama's teachings.
The third point is Xiao Qi's own problem, she is a little playful.
is different from other royal family strict fathers, the fourth master has been spoiling Xiao Qi since he was a child, that is, if he wants the moon and does not give the stars, she is naturally more free and easy than those royal family characters who have followed the rules like a sound worm since childhood, if it weren't for Erfu not forgetting to ask her homework every day, it is estimated that the teaching mother sent by Concubine De would be angry with Xiao Qi.
But even so, she was still punished very lightly by Mama Jiaoxi.
For example, at this time, the previous teaching Xi Mama didn't know where to find an old account in the house, and asked Xiao Qi to try to calculate and count the accounts, Xiao Qi's shoes were greedy for the cold night, and led the two little maids to the yard to catch fireflies, and then she didn't finish her homework without accident, and then she fell into Erfu personally staring at her plan.
Fortunately, Xiao Qi is greedy for fun and is not motivated, but he is not stupid, one hand is flying like a flower and the abacus is moving, and the other hand is firmly pressed on the account book, and the little head is turning back and forth left and right, and about an hour later, he will calculate an account book from beginning to end, and the number is not bad at all.
She proudly handed the ledger and a few pieces of ribbed paper for counting to Erf.
That appearance is obviously a copy of the fourth master, the little face is tense, but the eyes are shining, the tsundere is a little playful, and the old-fashioned is innocent, how to look at how cute.
However, Erfu didn't pay much attention to Xiao Qi's expression, and didn't look at the few pieces of ribbed paper handed over by Xiao Qi, so he directly poured a basin of cold water on his head, and asked in a cold and low voice: "Do you think this account is confirmed?"
"Of course, Xiao Qi has just accounted twice, and the accounts are in and out, which is clear and accurate. ”
Hearing this, Erfu smiled noncommittally, pushed the account book back to Xiao Qi, and continued: "This time I don't let you count the total number of accounts, you take a closer look at the expenditure details of these accounts, this housekeeper is not a fool, and the account book that can be sent to the master for passing will inevitably make the numbers and words tight, and there will be no leakage, so you are doing useless work just now." ”
"That mother also asked me to calculate, in the middle of the night, you shouldn't have deliberately tossed Xiao Qi!"
"You have made you Ama spoiled, and you know nonsense all day long, but E-Niang doesn't eat your set, and I'm not afraid of others saying that E-Niang is ruthless, anyway, if you can't complete the homework assigned by Mama Jiao Xi, then E-Niang will let Mama Jiao Xi beat your hand, and beat your two slender jade hands into pig's trotters, and see that you are still embarrassed to go out and play with the little sister. Erfu rolled her eyes speechlessly, and the jade tube wolf pen in her hand tapped lightly on the edge of the tea table, pretending to be angry and lectured.
Whose children are distressed, but they can't be overly spoiled, won't a good child be completely wasted!
Since childhood, he has been forced by his parents to learn this and that, and he has stayed up late to catch up with his homework since he was a child, until this time he understood how true the nagging words of his parents who she thought were oppressed by love.
Like her......
Although she has been someone else's child since she was a child, well-behaved and obedient, with excellent grades, if she hadn't been suddenly turned over by the god of crossing, she would have stayed in an office building safely and securely, living a boring life of 9 to 5, but it would have become the target of envy of many people.
Maybe she will be helpless for her parents to urge marriage, maybe she will also start a trip to escape the same life, but she will not worry about tea, rice, oil and salt, thanks to her previous sixteen years of hard study experience, and she has also paid countless hard sweat for this.
It's just that all the preset goodness has come to naught, and fate has played a big joke on her......
A rainstorm, through the god suddenly turned over the brand, what she learned in the past became useless things, overnight, should be financially independent professional women, transformed into the feudal era of men's accessories, look at it is strange, this era of women everyone will be filial piety to the in-laws, harmonious concubines, take care of family affairs, she is unprepared, at a loss became the fourth master's concubine.
She thought that if it weren't for the weird protagonist's aura, she would have died a long time ago.
However, these words are not good for her to say to Xiao Qi, a child who has not yet seen the hardships of life, and she has the ability to strictly manage her homework.
Her bitter experience, she never wants to repeat it in Xiao Qi.
As a concubine from the prince's mansion, Xiao Qi is destined to marry into the prince's mansion to be the fate of the eldest wife, how to become a qualified wife, nothing more than three points.
The first is the character of gentleness and virtuousness.
In this way, Erfu is not worried that Xiao Qi will marry her husband's family and show off the royal family, which will make her concubine lose harmony and her in-laws will be disgusted.
The second is the characteristics of shrewdness and ability.
Narf is not worried that Xiao Qi will be fooled and deceived by the people below, to be a shrewd and introverted lady in charge, with money in her hands, life will naturally go smoothly.
As for the third point, that is, the most exquisite in this era is to have more children and more blessings.
A daughter-in-law who can give birth to a fat boy is no longer likable, and her in-laws will be more accommodating to her.
In order for Xiao Qi to be able to live a life so carefree and smoothly, Erfu can be said to have worked hard, from arranging for the imperial doctor to carefully recuperate her body, to saving a dowry for Xiao Qi, she didn't believe that she couldn't let Xiao Qi live a wishful life.
Of course, striking iron also needs to be hard.
However, even if Erfu knew that the fourth master and herself would make detailed arrangements for Xiao Qi's future life, she would not cultivate Xiao Qi into a soft bun character, because she and the fourth master could take care of Xiao Qi's first half of life, but it was impossible to be by Xiao Qi's side forever, so naturally she still had to let Xiao Qi stand up on her own, and it was precisely because of this that Erfu did not refuse the arrangement that the fourth master invited Mr. Daughter and Concubine De to teach Mama for Xiao Qi.
The more Erfu thought about it, the more she felt that her choice was right, and her eyes became more and more stern when she looked at Xiao Qi......
Since she was a child, she has lived in the fourth master's house, and Xiao Qi is loved by the fourth master like a jewel in his hand, Xiao Qi, the child's ability to observe words and feelings, but it is also much stronger than Erfu, she originally wanted to be coquettish, maybe her own mother will be soft-hearted and go back to rest, but she saw that Erfu's face became more and more solemn, and she didn't dare to continue to be coquettish and noisy.
She bowed her head in resignation, held the ledger, and looked carefully......
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
This sentence is used to describe Xiao Qi's mood at this time, it is very appropriate, she only flipped through a few pages, and then she stopped the movements of her hand with wide eyes, she raised her eyes in surprise and looked at her mother, and asked thoughtlessly: "These minions shouldn't be so bold, right?"
"See?" Erff said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
