Main Courtyard. Mama Zhuang was so anxious that she asked the girl to open the box to get the clothes of the fourth master, and at the same time asked someone to quickly send hot water, to wash, soak feet, and make tea. In addition, you need to prepare a few more kinds of tea, and the milk should also be prepared.

Oh, and late-night snacks!

If the fourth master will stay, then the supper must be prepared!

The two girls came over with a stack of clothes each, "Mama, are these pieces okay?" ”

After the fourth master's clothes are made every season, some will be put everywhere. Like the front yard and the east courtyard, Fujin will also prepare it every season, as for whether the fourth master will wear it...... That's another story.

Clothes are indispensable in all seasons of the year, new ones are made, and old ones have to be pressed to the bottom of the box.

The girls are holding what they are holding at this time, which is new this year. Mama Zhuang picked out a set of underwear, pants, socks and robes, and pushed a girl: "Hurry up and send it inside." ”

This girl carried this set into the back room, and the other girl took the rest away.

In the back room, Fu Jin was sitting on the couch face to face with the fourth master. Seeing that the clothes were brought, Fu Jin complained softly: "Why is it so long?" ”

The girl was about to kneel down halfway through hearing it, and the fourth master had already gotten up and turned behind the screen.

Fu Jin hesitated, but still motioned for the girl to go behind the screen.

The girl got up in a hurry and went behind the screen with her clothes. Fu Jin was waiting outside, she wasn't sure if she should go behind the screen too? Just when she wanted to come and go, the fourth master came out.

Fu Jin stepped forward and said, "Master, do you want someone to bring hot water in and wash up?" After eating wine at the banquet, I am afraid that my mouth will be bitter. ”

The fourth master shook his head, straightened out his arrow sleeves and said, "No need, I'll go back." You can rest well. ”

He walked out, Mama Zhuang was waiting for hot water at the door, and when she turned around and saw that the master came out, she was immediately blessed, and without waiting for her to say goodbye, the master lifted the curtain and went out.

Su Peisheng was waiting outside the door, and the eunuchs in the main courtyard surrounded him and invited him to go to the tea room to rest, use a bowl of tea, and say that there was a good cigarette to honor him, but he pushed him down.

No one knows better than him how much the East Courtyard holds the soul of the master. If there was no matter what happened just now, and there was no fourth elder brother, it would not be impossible for the master to rest here in Fujin.

Now, hehe, it's hard to say.

Seeing the fourth master come out, he hurriedly greeted him, and the little eunuch in the study was already waiting with a lantern.

The fourth master didn't stop a step, Su Peisheng followed closely behind, and whispered: "Master Li has brought the second elder brother and the third elder brother back to the East Courtyard." ”

"Hmm." The fourth master had a calm face, and there was no trace of laugh lines.

Su Peisheng lowered his head and took a step back, waving his hand behind him and calling the people who followed him to be lighter, so as not to disturb the peace of the master. The little eunuch with the lantern in front of him also lowered his footsteps, but the degree was faster.

In the main courtyard, Mama Zhuang was there alone, and it took half a day to get up slowly. It was too fast just now, and my waist flashed a little. Fu Jin and the girl in the back room didn't come out, and she didn't dare to go in at this time.

The person who carried the hot water finally brought the hot water, but before he went up the steps, he heard that the fourth master had left. The two girls didn't know what to do with the copper kettle, so they lifted the curtain and whispered, "Mama, the hot water is here." ”

Mama Zhuang waved her hand and said, "Let's put it in the tea room first." ”

The house really made her afraid to stay. She lifted the curtain and came out, and the chilly wind outside lifted people's spirits. She called the little eunuch guarding the gate of the courtyard and asked him, "Did you see where the master went just now?" ”

The little eunuch had a bitter look: "The master didn't stop his feet, and Grandpa Su couldn't catch up with him." Look, the movement is running towards the east courtyard. "A string of lanterns is heading that way, and I can't pretend I can't see it.

What's more, in this backyard, in addition to this side, there are so many big lanterns in the east courtyard to light the way. At night, the lights and candles did not hesitate to reflect that piece of the sky was a little brighter.

Mama Zhuang sighed and took a while to return to the house. It turned out that the girl who had gone to the back room to deliver clothes had already come out, and when she saw her, she whispered, "The master wants hot water to wash." Then he lifted the curtain and went to call for hot water.

Mama Zhuang breathed deeply through the door curtain, gently lifted the curtain and flashed in, and Fu Jin sat on the couch, facing the empty seat on the other side of the kang table. There was also a bowl of tea still steaming on the kang table.

In the east courtyard, Li Wei ate a plate of fried rice, which contained eggs, diced ham, diced mustard, and beef soup with hot and sour vermicelli, which made her sweat.

The third elder brother has not slept in a bed with her for several years since he moved to the main courtyard, and now he is wearing a snow-white cotton underwear, nesting in her arms and coquettishly, telling her to feed several mouthfuls of fried rice, and still have to drink the beef soup.

"It's very sour and spicy." Li Wei couldn't bear him, so she scooped him a spoonful, Hongyu and Ergege, who were sitting opposite, were snickering, and the fourth elder brother who was woken up by the excitement in the room here also came over, lying behind Hongyu and asking his brother to carry it.

She shouted to the fourth elder brother: "Don't mess with your second brother." ”

The third elder brother's face was wrinkled by the hot and sour soup, and she hurriedly gave him the spoon and told him to eat a few bites of fried rice and press it.

Hongyu was so troubled that he couldn't help it, so he went around the house with the fourth elder brother on his back, while learning to bark a tiger, and Baifu and Zaohua were also put into the house, surrounding Hongyu, and the tails of joy were shaking desperately.

When the fourth master came in, he saw a messy house with a pot of porridge, and he was blocked at the door and couldn't get in.

The third elder brother was the first to see him and shouted, "Amma! Then his face turned white, and he straightened up and didn't know what to do.

Li Wei knew at a glance that he didn't understand whether he should go down and kneel quickly, but when he was in the east courtyard and the front yard, he had never knelt the fourth master, and now he was confused.

Hongyu was also a little stunned, and the fourth elder brother on his back stretched out his hand to the fourth master: "Amma! Amma! Carry me! Carry me! ”

The fourth master was saddened by the third elder brother's eyes, patted the fourth elder brother's head, walked to Li Wei's side to help her up, sat down and hugged the third elder brother and said softly: "What's wrong with Ama's third elder brother?" Having a late-night snack? Tell Amma to taste it. ”

The third elder brother hurriedly gave him his spoon.

The fourth master used the spoon of the third elder brother to eat all the food on the kang table, and tasted them one by one. Li Wei changed to Ergege and sat down, asked Hongyu to put down the fourth elder brother, and asked both of them to go to the bed.

She smiled and said, "Master, do you want to give you a bowl of noodles?" There are also ravioli and fried buns. ”

He shook his head, patted her hand, and said, "No, this soup is good." Putting a lot of pepper on it? ”

She asked the jade bottle to refill the bowl for him, and with the fried buns and fried rice on the table, he swept almost everything on the table. The third elder brother Zuihou, who was still a little scared, was also 'shocked'.

It's all 'Amma is delicious!' ''Amma is so capable!'' 's expression.

Li Wei was also surprised, and her reaction was to immediately ask Jade Bottle to go to Dr. Bai to prescribe medicine to eliminate appetite.

The fourth master laughed, stopped people, and said, "You don't want to see how many things there are?" There are only six raw fried buns in one cage, and there are only four spring rolls. ”

Li Wei was still a little worried, so she asked the dining room to bring a plate of shredded radishes over without taking medicine.

After eating wine and meat at the banquet, he came back and coaxed the child with a stomach full of anger, and a brazier was lit in the house, which was hot and uncomfortable. Hot and sour soup and fried rice are all things with a heavy flavor, and when you see this plate of cold shredded radish, the dryness is like meeting ice and snow!

The rest of the dishes were removed and replaced with shredded radish, boiled peanuts, pine eggs and shallots, and other cold dishes, and the only dish with a strong flavor was a spicy beef jerky.

Li Wei coaxed the children back and told them to go to bed quickly, it was almost nine o'clock now, and it was long past their usual sleeping hours. The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother both fell asleep as soon as their heads were on the pillow, and the second Gege and Hongyu were both older and thought more. For the two of them, Li Wei didn't hide anymore, and only comforted them with a word.

What she said was: "Just see that you Ama can come over, what are you not worried about?" ”

Also. Ergege turned the corner and went back to rest, Hongyu was different, he whispered to Li Wei: "Eniang, I will fight for anger, and I will not let you be wronged again." ”

As soon as his words fell, Li Wei shook her head and said seriously: "Hongyu, if you want to be motivated, E-Niang will not stop you." But it has to be you who want to be motivated, not for me and your sisters and brothers. ”

Hongyu didn't quite understand, she touched the little adult's head and smiled: "Wait until you can figure this out." ”

He is the de facto eldest son of the East Courtyard, and I don't know when he even regarded Ergege, who was older than him, as someone to protect. After making Li Wei appear, she was both relieved and bitter.

Obviously, both parents grew up early, which can only be said to be a substandard parent.

After Hongyu also fell asleep, she returned to the main house, and when she went in, she saw that the fourth master was drinking wine on side dishes, and his face was red.

She had been married to him for so long, and she had never seen him drink to drown her sorrows.

After watching at the door for a while, she slowly walked over and sat opposite him, took the wine jug and said, "I'll have two drinks with my grandfather?" ”

The fourth master smiled: "If you want to drink it, call them Wen Osmanthus wine, you can't drink this, it's too spicy." ”

Asked the jade bottle to warm the osmanthus wine and sent it in, and the two drank it together.

Li Wei is not interested in shredded radish and peanuts, she only eats spicy beef jerky, a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine, and after a while, her face is flushed and her eyes are watery.

It would be a lie to say that she didn't care about what had just happened. She didn't mind kneeling by herself, and it wasn't the first time she knelt to Fu Jin. But it scared the children and scared them, which made her unbearable.

The wine was up, and she thought with tears in her eyes that I would make a little white flower and give Fujin a round of eye medicine! But when the tears were about to fall, they swallowed her back.

She found the behavior disgusting.

Fu Jin wanted to disgust her, whatever. She didn't want to disgust herself.

Thinking about it from another angle, Fu Jin has been tossing her so much recently, doesn't it mean that she is doing too well and too well, and it makes Fu Jin jealous?

Sister is better off than you, chicken belly kills you!

She wants to work hard to live better than she is now, so that Fu Jin will continue to suffer from pink eye!

After comforting herself, she also made up her mind not to complain, and Xiaobaihua said, 'It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't xxx', she just treated it as if she hadn't been born. Let's get on with our lives.

She let go of this breath and ate the plate of beef jerky hard, how could a small plate of beef jerky withstand her eating like this? Soon the bottom was seen. She continued to hold the shredded meat at the bottom of the plate, and asked the fourth master to sigh: "If you like to eat, let them serve another plate." As he spoke, he took a pair of chopsticks and shredded radish and put it on her plate.

"Eat this, get angry." He said.

Li Wei glared, he avoided her gaze and laughed softly with a wine glass, and said: "I am angry, and I am reluctant to face my lord, and I refuse to cry, but I will suffocate myself?" If you don't eat shredded radish, are you planning to drink coptis water tomorrow when the corners of your mouth are foaming? ”

She raised her chin and said very coolly, "I'm not angry." It's not worth it to be angry with yourself for others. ”

The fourth master looked at her curiously and teased her: "You're really not angry? I've been slapped in the face, can I not be angry? ”

Li Wei asked him to say that he was on fire again, and said bald donkey in front of the monk, is there such a revelation?

She had to be lucky, and said in a low voice: "She's jealous of me." ”

Facing the fourth master's gaze, she looked directly at him and said, "I'm doing well, she's just jealous of me." I'm better off than her, and occasionally I get someone to slap me, and I'm trading this for a good life now. ”

The fourth master smiled to himself, and said to himself: "If you say this, I have nothing to say." ”

He put down the wine glass, held her hand and said slowly, "Later...... I'm afraid that you will encounter this kind of grievance often. Sometimes, it's not a bad thing for you to be arrogant, and if you pay too much attention to the rules, you should be bullied. ”

Li Wei couldn't believe what she heard, she hesitated: "Master, what do you mean......" She looked at him tentatively, and saw him nodding slightly, she couldn't believe it!

The fourth master said softly: "In front of people, the master can't protect you clearly." You have to stand up on your own, so that the children will not be wronged. ”

Li Wei still couldn't react, and said for a long time: "...... So, how much less can I behave than the rules? ”

He smiled at her like this, and relaxed: "Just like you, but being proud is probably just an ordinary person." I have seen a lot of unreasonable and unruly people, if you can have their work, you don't need to worry about it in this house. ”

The second generation in the house has gradually grown up, and Fujin no longer restrains himself. Su Su is still the same as before, but I am afraid that Hongyu and the others will have more hardships in the future. Tonight's incident is just the beginning, if Fu Jin wants to 'discipline' the children, with Susu's character, I am afraid that the children will only react after they have suffered losses.

In this way, the fourth master felt that tonight's event was just right.

Not only can Su Su ring the alarm bell, but he can also give her a few words. Let's hope she understands his intentions.

Li Wei was left with thoughts churning for several days because of his words. Why does she think that she is becoming more and more cannon fodder female supporting fans? What is it called? Commanded?

A few days after the birthday party, someone from the main courtyard said that Da Gege asked Ergege to come over to play.

Ergege came over and asked her. Li Wei said: "What about you? Do you want to go? ”

Ergege felt awkward: "I don't want to go." If you go over there, you must ask Fujin for peace...... I don't want to go. After saying that, she regretted it and quietly looked up at Eniang.

Who knew that Eniang, who usually educates her, said: "If you don't want to go, go to the front to play with your brother, and you don't have to worry about it here." ”

Although Ergege didn't understand what was going on, he was glad to be able to go ahead and ride a horse and shoot arrows. When she left, Li Wei said to Mama Liu: "You go and beat people and go." ”

Mama Liu saw the end from the beginning just now, and she had the heart to persuade her, but Master Li was left-handed, and she didn't like to listen to people's persuasion when she made up her mind.

She only asked, "What did the slave say?" ”

Li Wei smiled: "It's simple, let's just say that Ergege went to the front yard to ride a horse, and I was looking for Da Gege to ride together, so I asked Da Gege if he was willing to go together." ”

Mama Liu took the order and left, and the words quickly spread to the main courtyard. Fu Jin got the news first, and she felt a hazy hostility from the Li family, but she wasn't sure if she was too careful. After all, the Li family has never forbade Ergege to come to the main courtyard, and many times Ergege took the initiative to come to Da Gege and them.

Mama Zhuang was still waiting for her words, and she said, "Go and ask Da Gege if he wants to go?" ”

Da Gege replied that he wanted to play cards in the house, but he didn't want to go out when the wind was hard outside.

Li Wei was not surprised to get a reply. Da Gege has always been better than less than one thing, it is easy to ask Ergege to go to her to play, but it is difficult to ask her to ride a horse with Ergege.

A few days later, Honghui came back, and the main courtyard called the two Hongyu brothers to go to the main courtyard to measure the size, saying that Fujin had newly obtained some good skins, and planned to make a leather robe for several elder brothers.

Li Wei replied and said: "It's rare for the eldest brother to come back, Hongyu and the others did it last year, thank you for Fujin's kindness, and tell the eldest brother to do it." ”

These words were transmitted back to the main courtyard, like a loud slap on Fu Jin's face.

When Mama Zhuang replied, she didn't dare to look at Fu Jin's face.

After a while, Fu Jin said indifferently: "Send these skins to the East Courtyard." ”

I had already prepared the skins for a few elder brothers, and Mama Zhuang personally led people to send the skins to the East Courtyard, but she didn't even see the face of Fang Fujin. Mama Liu came forward to collect the skin and asked why Fang Fujin didn't see it?

Mama Liu smiled and said, "Our master is busy these days, and he can't spare time, but he neglects you." ”

Mama Zhuang was shocked: "How dare you do this?" The slave and maid are just running errands for their masters. ”

can be carried out of Fujin, but still don't see Mama Liu go back to report. Mama Zhuang sat and drank a belly of tea, and went back with her breath. When I saw Fujin, I could only say that I didn't see anyone from Fujin.

Fang Fujin said that he was busy, and the slave thought that he should kowtow to Fang Fujin anyway, so he waited for a while. Come back late, the Lord forgives your sins. Mama Zhuang said it cleverly, but Fujin didn't answer it.

After asking Mama Zhuang to come out, she muttered, the front is Fujin and the people, and the people behind make a move, why did you shrink again?

Fu Jin was in the room and sighed deeply.

I didn't expect Li to be angry, and he really dared to sweep her face to the ground. It wasn't like her at all.

She recalled her impression of the Li family over the years, the Li family who bowed her head when she saw her, and did not dare to raise her eyes. Even if he has a pet and a son, he has never been involved in the power of the house. Hongyu couldn't enter the palace and enter the study, and she didn't see her blowing the pillow wind to the fourth master.

How could she be so bold now?

Isn't she afraid of gossip from others?

Isn't she afraid that the fourth master will know?

Fu Jin was puzzled, she didn't even know how the Li family suddenly changed his attitude.

What the hell is going on?
