68. Comb your hair

This time, the fourth master of the horse ran away and came back, but Honghui and Hongyu were crazy, and they couldn't contain the excitement when they returned to the house. Honghui jumped off the horse and ran to the main courtyard with a whip, and shouted to the personal eunuch: "Go with what I beat for Eniang!" ”

Hongyu personally led the horse to the stable, added material and water to it with his own hands, and brushed it with a brush. He also wanted to go back to E-Niang and say how much fun he had today, but E-Niang was easily tired with a big belly, and he couldn't let him pounce in his arms anymore. He had no choice but to accompany his horse first, and just now it was carrying him so fast and so human.

He thought it was like Momofuku, like his friend.

The fourth master went back to the study and wrote more than a dozen pages of big characters before calming down, and called Su Peisheng to ask, "Where is Hongyu?" Have you already returned to the East Courtyard? "He wants to go to Susu and stay with the children, and he will feel better.

Who knew that Su Peisheng said: "The second elder brother is in the stable." ”

Let the fourth master, who was about to go to the east courtyard, turn around and go to the stable.

When the eunuchs and slaves of the stables saw him coming, they all knelt aside, and the leading eunuch's face turned white with fright, and the whole person knelt there trembling. The second elder brother came over to feed the horses and brush the horses, can he stop him? stopped, hindering the interest of the second elder brother, he didn't have any good fruit to eat. Don't stop it, now let the fourth master bump into him, he has no good fruit to eat.

Now the ass is going to bloom. Ma Jian wailed in his heart, and his eyes couldn't stop looking at Su Peisheng, who was following the fourth master, wanting to ask Grandpa Su for help. Usually, he is also diligent in making offerings.

Su Peisheng didn't look at him at all, the fourth master really wanted to attack someone, so a fool would stop him. It's a big deal that he takes care of it afterwards and makes the hand of the board lighter.

Hongyu didn't know that the fourth master was behind him, he was holding the horse's head and touching the horse's mane, the horse's tail flicked lightly, obviously very happy with the owner's touch.

The fourth master walked over, stood one step away and shouted to him: "Hongyu." ”

Hongyu immediately let go of the horse and turned to salute, "Amma." "He was a little nervous, afraid that Amma would be angry.

The fourth master did not get angry, but walked over and took out a handful of dry grass from the manger, put it to the horse's mouth to feed it, and said to Hongyu: "The horse is our good friend and closest brother. When we get lost in the grassland and can't find a home, let go of the reins, it can lead us to find water, to find food, to find a safe place to rest, and to bring us home. ”

He beckoned Hongyu over and comforted him, "You like horses, Ama is very happy." ”

The father and son fed the horses for a while, and the fourth master also rolled up his sleeves and tucked the corners of his robe behind his belt, and asked the horse supervisor to bring a big brush to show Hongyu how to brush the horse, how to brush the hair on the neck, how to brush the hair on the thighs, how to see where there is a disease in the horse's teeth and hooves, whether it is healthy and so on.

Hongyu listened to the horse scripture of the fourth master's mouth, and his eyes were straight.

This four-year-old horse was pinched by the fourth master, with bright fur and great spirits. Hongyu forgot all the fear just now, and walked around the fourth master, holding the horse brush and handing him something.

Seeing the beautiful horses that were cleaned up by himself, most of the depression in the fourth master's heart was dispersed. Not to mention that Hongyu looked at him with star-like eyes beside him, touched his little head, and said: "I originally wanted to see your mother, but now we can only go back to take a shower and change clothes first, so as to save your mother and sister." ”

The villain who laughed at Hongyu couldn't stand steadily, and was held under his armpit by the fourth master, screaming all the way back to the study.

Su Peisheng had already boiled hot water, and after the father and son came back, they washed it directly in a bucket. The fourth master has not let go of nonsense like this for a long time, and across the door, Su Peisheng can hear the daxiao voice of the fourth master in the door.

After washing and changing clothes, the two went to the East Courtyard.

As soon as they stepped into the door of the East Courtyard, Momofuku shouted happily and pounced on them to greet them. Ergege came out of the house and said with a smile: "As soon as Baifu ran out, Eniang and I knew that it was Ama and my brother who had returned. ”

The room was warm and smelled of milk. The roast lamb that Hongyu ate outside had already been digested, and when he smelled the fragrance, he threw himself into the house, and shouted in his mouth: "E-niang, I'm hungry, I'm hungry!" ”

Li Wei felt distressed when she heard this, took a piece of soufflé and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "Why are you so hungry?" Looking at the changed clothes and clean face, he said, "Have you taken a bath?" ”

At this time, the fourth master also came in, and when she saw him, she said, "You two went out and took a bath?" "It's not that Hongyu's bath is very peculiar, it's just that the times are here, medicine is underdeveloped, children's immunity is poor, and it's winter.

Even Li Wei admitted that in order to avoid getting sick, Hongyu didn't have to take a bath and wash her hair often, and waited until spring when the weather was warm and then washed hard.

Hongyu had already climbed onto the kang to eat snacks, and his two cheeks were stuffed into bulging like a little hamster.

The fourth master sat down and said: "I didn't wash my hair, I took him to brush the horse just now, and the smell of horses on my body, I was afraid that it would make you sick, so I took a bath and changed my clothes in front." ”

Li Wei touched Hongyu's hair, relieved to see that it was not wet, touched his head, and asked, "Is your head itchy?" E-Niang gives you everything? ”

Hongyu stuffed a mouthful of soufflés, was holding a mug and drinking milk tea, and nodded desperately when he heard the words. Li Wei carefully held his stomach and slowly moved over, untied his little pigtail like a rat's tail, and gave him a hundred strokes. Turning her head, she saw the fourth master sitting there drinking milk tea alone, looking at them with a smile, she said, "Master, will you get through it too?" ”

The fourth master glanced at her stomach, sat down and said, "Don't be tired of you." ”

Li Wei untied his braids, Hongyu came over to look at it, touched his Amma's braids and said, "Amma's braids are so long, they are thicker than mine." ”

She first combed it through with a coarse-toothed comb, and then with a grate to go from beginning to end. Hongyu leaned on the fourth master's lap and looked at him and smiled: "Ama is asleep?" ”

The fourth master closed his eyes and touched his head with a smile.

After finishing the head, the fourth master asked the nurse to take Hongyu out, helped Li Wei to lean on the pillow, picked up the comb on the kang table and said, "I'll comb it for you too." ”

Li Wei was stunned, the two of them even gave birth to a few children, but combing their hair is more intimate than others. What's more, he still combed her.

She hesitantly turned to the side slightly, the fourth master sat closer, first untied the bun on her head, and after a while, the kang table was full of hairpins, sideburns and other things on her head. The fourth master held a malachite and said: "These are still a little rough, go back and make some haode for you." ”

The hair gradually loosened, but Li Wei became more and more nervous, and then found a topic: "I am all on haode, all of them are fashionable in Beijing." ”

The fourth master behind him smiled: "I don't think you may like these bulky things." I don't usually see you wearing a flag head, always holding a bun. While combing her hair in the back, he raised his chin and pointed to the three pairs of hairpins on the kang table and said, "It seems that you love this kind of delicate and delicate." ”

The three pairs of hairpins are a pair of peacock blue butterflies, a pair of gold-patterned butterflies, and a pair of peach blossoms with pink yarn. It's all square inch in size.

"The big ones wear heavy necks." Li Wei said and touched her neck, in order to ask for good luck during the New Year, the jade bottle and the big grandmother put a bunch on her head every day, and the things she used were all solid gold, hairpins would not be solid, and gems would not be fake, and the top of the hair would be pendant.

In addition to having to dress neatly during the New Year's holidays, she naturally likes these beautiful and not heavy.

After a hundred strokes, the fourth master restored her to save her. Li Wei was surprised: "Master, you can take a look?" ”

The fourth master turned over in disgust in the makeup box, picked out a pearl and inserted it for her, a bead the size of a finger belly up and down, a thin gold chain hanging in the middle, wearing it on the head and not moving, the pearl also shook gently, Li Wei also felt in the mirror that this one was against the one she had just woon, and the woman's lovely energy came out.

He looked at it for a long time, and then smiled with satisfaction: "When I was young, I saw Huang Eniang combing her hair, and I also handed things to me. ”

Li Wei's face froze, not knowing what expression to make. She has been married to the fourth master for so many years, and she can guess a little bit that the fourth master was so precocious in the palace when he was a child, not only because of Yonghe Palace. Empress Xiaoyi also contributed a lot. As a result, now the fourth master is not only well-connected, but also very proud, and a little mentally clean.

For example, looking at Queen Xiaoyi's combing her hair, he is really curious about the queen's combing hair? No, it is estimated that it is for the sake of knotting and filial piety. is so precocious at such a young age, who forced it?

She really reacted slowly after she became pregnant, and she used to be able to get past him by just lowering her head or sticking into his arms, but this time she was stunned for a long time, looking at him until he found out.

The fourth master laughed, hugged her and said, "Look at you're scared." After laughing, he sighed, twisted it on her face, and said lightly: "The emperor's mother treats me well, although there are only five points out of ten, I must also read her kindness." Just like Yonghe Palace treats me, even if it is less than five points out of ten, she gave birth to me, and I have to remember it. ”

She is not like a few years ago, she will be nervous when she hears what he is saying. She leaned quietly into his arms, just like that. The fourth master gently touched the corner of her forehead with his lips.

Unable to hear the sound of talking in the house, the jade bottle wanted to go in quietly to have a look, but was stopped by the eldest grandmother, and she said, "I'm afraid that the masters are asleep inside." ”

The eldest grandmother waved her hand, and the two went outside the house, and the eldest grandmother taught her: "There is a kang burning in the house, and no one can freeze." If the masters don't speak, they may not be able to let people in. ”

The jade bottle was puzzled, and the eldest grandmother shook her head and said, "You just listen to me." ”

After a while, someone was called in the house, and the jade bottle went in, and saw that Master Li and the fourth master met their eyes from time to time, even if they didn't look at each other, they couldn't insert anyone else. The fourth master's eyes were so warm when he looked at Master Li that she couldn't help blushing when she saw it.

After she went out, she found an opportunity to say to the eldest grandmother: "Thank you for teaching me." ”

The eldest grandmother said abruptly: "You are still young and don't understand the affairs between men and women. Sometimes sitting like that without talking is better than eating elixir and drinking fairy dew. The masters have good feelings, so we have to be more careful. ”

The jade bottle was slightly bless□ed, and said, "The jade bottle remembers Mama's teachings, and will never dare to be reckless next time." ”

When she was free, the jade bottle muttered, the eldest grandmother has been in the palace all her life, no matter how many masters she waits, she has never really been good with a man, how can she understand everything? Thinking that some palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were not innocent, the jade bottle shuddered, and quickly forgot this thought.

The next day, when Li Wei woke up, it was already nine o'clock, and after breakfast, she asked the jade bottle and a few people to help her go for a walk in the garden. The more you are born, the more you have to move. Unexpectedly, the ancients already had this theory, and Mama Liu always wanted her to go out for a walk more.

It's not spring yet, and the garden is bare, but luckily the sun is good today, and it's nice to enjoy the sun. Li Wei is in a good mood and can see anything.

At this time, Yuhua saw Yushui glancing at her from behind, she let Yuyan go over to help her, retreated to the back and asked Yushui, "What's wrong?" ”

Yushui dragged her farther away and whispered, "That Wang Gege is here again." Probably inquired about the master's walk in the garden, and also wanted to come over, fortunately, we sent someone to guard the garden gate before, otherwise let her run in, and the master's good mood ruined her. ”

The jade bottle raised her eyebrows, and her anger immediately appeared, and she sneered: "Mama Zhuang has been teaching her several times, why is she not sensible?" ”

The two walked quickly to the gate of the garden, and sure enough, they saw Wang Gege and Ling Hui entangled with the two girls from the East Courtyard.

Stopping Wang Gege was the palace maid Jade Dynasty who was assigned after the expansion of the East Courtyard, she was also from the Internal Affairs Bureau, three years younger than the Jade Bottle, but Jiashi was not weak at all. The jade bottle does not let people get close to Li Wei's side, and she is not in a hurry to grab the jade bottle, and she has the consciousness of the people in the East Courtyard to do things.

The jade bottle had inquired a long time ago, and then came that these four were all coats inlaid with white flags. is regarded as the fourth master's own person, no wonder he is so loyal to Master Li.

When I got closer, I heard Ling Hui beside Wang Gege begging for the Jade Dynasty, "Good sister, we Gege just want to go in and kowtow to Master Li, don't dare to disturb Master Li's tranquility, you give it a convenience, we remember your goodness." ”

Yu Chao stopped moving, but with a smile on his face, he said: "I took Wang Gege's heart for our master." Please go back, our master is now a month old and short of spirit, and the doctor has told our master to call him a rare person. ”

Ling Hui begged a little and forgot it, and turned his head to see what Wang Gege meant.

It was impossible for Wang Gege to surrender his identity and entangle with a girl in the Jade Dynasty, and when he saw that Ling Hui didn't speak, he said: "Sister Li is heavy, and I don't dare to disturb more, so let's give my sister a salute here." She was about to be blessed when she spoke, but Yu Chao grabbed her arm and lifted it tightly, and said with an unchanged smile: "What do you say?" It's not a year, don't you want to kill our master by doing such a big gift? ”

The jade bottle hurried over a few steps, and it was a blessing to Wang Gege, she gave Yu Chao a look, and Yu Chao let go of Wang Gege and took half a step back. There is a jade bottle standing in front of Wang Gege, to see if she dares to really go down to a girl.

The jade bottle scolded the jade dynasty first: "It's getting more and more unruly!" Go down and slap your mouth! He turned his head to Wang Gege and begged for mercy: "Ask Gege to be kind-hearted, spare this little hoof who doesn't understand the rules, she has only been in the house for a long time, and she is used to being at home, and she doesn't know how to teach." Looking back, I didn't throw her into Mama's hands and eat a good meal. As he spoke, he turned his head and glared at Yu Chao.

Yu Chao obediently lowered his head and stood in the distance and slapped himself.

A crisp slap sounded, and Ling Hui trembled, as if the slap was on her. She silently took a step back, looking a little farther away from Wanggege.

Wang Gege was first caught on fire by the Jade Dynasty, and then his face was red and white when he was stabbed by the words of the Jade Bottle. Isn't the Jade Dynasty's slap hitting her? Seeing Yu Chao's face flush after a few strokes, she didn't dare to entangle anymore, not to say that Li Fang Fujin was dominating the garden and not allowing anyone to enter, but that she had beaten Fang Fujin's girl on the following offense, how could she wash it clearly?

Originally, I wanted to tie up people.,What's going on with Jiashi, who made a feud?

Seeing this, Wang Gege had no choice but to say first: "Stop fighting, it's getting late, I should go back." Before leaving, he didn't give up and said, "When Fang Fujin is free in the future, I'll go to talk to Fang Fujin." ”

After speaking, he took Ling Hui and left like a ghost. Yu Chao also put down her hand when she saw her walking away, her mouth moved and there was a tingling pain, she hissed, the jade bottle came over to take a look, and sighed: "Go back and quickly take the medicine and wipe it, the master has jasper aloe vera paste there, I'll take it out for you when I go back." ”

Yu Chao didn't dare to open her mouth, her cheeks were already red and swollen, so she had to swallow the words in her mouth and say, "How dare you use the master's medicine, just take cold water and compress it." ”

The jade bottle said: "You are loyal, I will naturally report it to the master." It's just that Wang Gege's matter is not good to take it to worry about the master again, you can use the medicine first, and come into the house to wait another day. ”

Yu Chao glanced at the jade bottle and said with a smile: "Then I want Sister Xiexie's promotion." Saying that, he squatted down.

Although Wang Gege didn't want people to spread the news, Yu Chao didn't rush to rub the medicine when she went back, and stood at the second gate with a red and swollen face, and called someone to call her brother.

Her brother was listening at the gate, and when he heard the girl's shout, he ran in, and when he saw the girl's face, he was startled and said, "What's wrong with you?" Hurriedly pulled aside and whispered: "Did you make the master unhappy?" ”

Yu Chao glanced at him, took out the white porcelain box of jasper aloe vera paste and showed it to him, and said, "It's not our master, our master doesn't know how good he is, this is the medicine that he specially rewarded me." ”

Master Li in the East Courtyard had all the utensils there fired in a kiln, and there was nowhere to buy them outside. Her brother recognized it as soon as he saw it, one breathed a sigh of relief, and the other was even more strange: "Who?" You are waiting at Master Li's place, although you are not close, who dares to slap you? ”

Yu Chao sighed, didn't say who it was, and said, "What is there to say?" I slapped myself and I can't rely on anyone else. I'm here to tell you that I won't be going home in two days, so don't talk nonsense when you go back. ”

How is it nonsense? Don't say what are you dangling with this face?

Her brother frowned in distress and sent her sister away, and sighed when she went back. When Yu Chao came in, it was short, and not many people knew that she was waiting in the East Courtyard, but she was a big girl who was close to her clothes. But she couldn't stand it, so she was beaten and ran to find her brother, who had a heavy face when he listened to the errand, and when he went to the dining room to eat, he still held the big bowl and wiped his tears.

How can this not be asked?

After coming and going, Wang Gege was blocked at the gate of the garden and couldn't enter, and the news of beating the girl on the side of Fujin spread angrily.

After Su Peisheng asked Zhang Desheng to come to see her face, the jade bottle personally held the face wash and ointment to her, and said, "My little ancestor, still don't apply the medicine?" ”

Yu Chao looked in the mirror and said, "The fourth master hasn't seen it yet." ”

The jade bottle wiped her face with a hot hand towel and rubbed a radish, wiped her wailing, and then opened the porcelain box to smear her with jasper aloe vera ointment, and said, "What kind of inferior medicine is you the master here?" Swelling can be reduced in an instant. If you really wear this face until the fourth master comes in the evening, the taste will change. ”

After applying it, the swelling quickly subsided. You can't see it at all until it gets dark.

The fourth master came over for dinner, and he swept the faces of the jade bottles and others waiting in the house, and he didn't see anyone who seemed to have been beaten. Li Wei was taking small bites of the Lantern Festival with black sesame filling, and let him take a bite from time to time: "This thing is good to eat, it nourishes blood, and it's good for hair." ”

The fourth master ate one from her bowl and asked, "Did you go out for a walk today?" ”

Li Wei blew the Lantern Festival and said, "It's gone, the sun is very good in the morning, and I went out for a walk for half an hour." ”

After one night, the fourth master saw that Li Wei didn't know about it. When he returned to the front yard the next day, Su Peisheng reported: "The Jade Dynasty who was beaten was not waiting by Master Li's side, and the Jade Bottle asked a few of them to guard at the garden gate at that time. Wang Gege's trouble was a little ugly before, and the jade bottle was afraid that she would go in and toss something else, so they stopped her. ”

The fourth master nodded, and stopped it well.

Su Peisheng said: "Wang Gege said that she went to ask Master Li for Haode. Yu Chao said that the slap was a jade bottle, and seeing that she offended Wang Gege, he called the palm mouth, not Wang Gege asked her to beat it. Wang Gege didn't annoy her either. ”

It's just that I forgot to remedy it afterwards, and I was overshadowed by this little girl. You said that you knew to chase Master Li and hug his thighs, why didn't you know that she would make up for it after beating that girl? Even if you send a purse, it can show that you don't have a heart.

Of course, whether the gift of the purse will make a scheming in the fourth master's heart, it is not easy for him Su Peisheng to say.

Anyway, what Wang Gege did was wrong.

It seems that this Wang Gege is a little lacking in heart, and it is no wonder that she was stepped on and climbed up.

Afterwards, Mama Zhuang went to teach Wang Gege the rules again, but she was humbled one hundred and eighty times. Wang Gege's mouth was dry, he licked his lips, and he didn't dare to serve the tea bowl on the table when he looked at it. Mama Zhuang raised her eyelids and said, "Gege will recite it again." ”

Su Peisheng's words: Teach her more to understand the superiority and inferiority.

In fact, Mama Zhuang really wanted to teach Wang Gege how to look at eyes. I can't learn this rule in this life.
