Chapter 18: Li Kequn
Li Zao and the fourth master were happily grabbing the things embroidered by Li Zao, and the fourth master didn't want to see it much, and he also knew that Li Zao couldn't embroider, so he didn't tease his own little Gege. Li Zao couldn't wait for the fourth master not to look at it, so Li Zao secretly poked and hid the things in his hand.
The fourth master who watched it was amused for a while.
He Chunting watched from the side, Ah Ling gave him a color, and Xiao He Zi immediately went to the dining room to get food.
When they arrived at the dining room, the chief eunuch in the dining room saw He Chunting's figure from a distance, and when he came up, he asked with a smile: "Brother He, you are here to deliver food to the master and Xiao Li Gege in person." ”
He Chunting was happy when he heard this sentence "Brother He", but he couldn't show it on his face: "What are you talking about, it is our blessing to pass food to the master and Gege, and it should be beaten." ”
He also said, "Today's meal will be according to the usual preferences of the masters." As he spoke, he sat next to him and waited. Not long after doing this, Qiu Ju, the big palace maid from Yun Gege, came to get food.
looked at Qiu Ju and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, there is exquisite eight-treasure porridge today, and our master especially wants to eat this today." So saying, he handed over two taels of silver.
Chef Zhang looked at the two taels of silver, and said with a smile: "Miss Qiu, it's not that I don't want to make it for you, it's really not this material today, and the master's meal hasn't been made yet, in case there is anything that is not enough, this..."
Qiu Ju sighed: "That's it, then bother Brother Zhang to make a few delicate side dishes and a bowl of millet porridge." ”
Chef Zhang responded with a smile.
After another while, Chef Zhang seemed to remember something, and asked He Chunting: "Little Hezi, do you want exquisite eight-treasure porridge from your master?" ”
He Chunting said with a smile: "I don't know if Gege wants to eat today, it's just that the fourth master is in our Gege, maybe he wants to eat." When Chef Zhang heard this, he laughed and scolded: "You kid is clever." ”
He Chunting smiled and didn't answer, just sat there thinking that when he first came here to get food before, the attitude of these people, this dining room, has always been a good hand at stepping on the high and the low.
It's just that if it's not too excessive, the dining room will still not be too difficult to get along with, so He Chunting thought in his heart, and when he turns around, he will have a good relationship with these people.
The provincial Gege ate a cold meal. It's just that if this idea is known by the fourth master, he may not know where to send He Chunting.
At this time, the Kung Fu dining room had already prepared a meal, and a few little eunuchs were sent to follow He Chunting over. Originally, Yuhua Pavilion sent someone to get it, but the dining room insisted on sending it.
In this way, it became that the people of Yuhua Pavilion went to pass the meal, and the dining room itself sent someone to send it over.
The meal was delivered to Yuhua Pavilion, Li Zao looked at today's meal, and he didn't sigh in his heart, there is still a fourth master here, this meal is not of the same level as usual.
When the two of them finished eating, Su Peisheng stepped forward and muttered in the ear of the fourth master, and the fourth master got up and planned to leave, and at the end, he also explained to Li Zao: "The master has something to do with the front yard, and he will come back in the evening, be good." ”
In the last sentence, Li Zao had the feeling that the fourth master was coaxing the child. didn't really do anything else, and when Ah Ling cleaned up the table, Li Zao took out those roses and anise bandages to embroider them.
Ah Qiao looked at Li Zao's embroidery method and asked curiously: "Gege, what kind of cultivation method is this, and you can also sew the cloth into a rose pattern." ”
Li Zao pouted: "I've seen it for a long time, and I will learn more from me in the future." ”
Not to mention how Li Zao is playing and laughing here, the fourth master did see the person he wanted to see the most.
As soon as Li Kequn saw the fourth master, he knelt on the ground: "I've seen the fourth master." The fourth master waved his hand: "Get up." After a pause, he asked, "What did you gain from this trip?" ”
Li Kequn didn't say it immediately, but looked left and right, and the fourth master immediately understood, so he waved his hand: "Let's all go down." So Su Peisheng went out with a group of people, and finally brought the door to the fourth master.
Li Kequn saw that the people around him had gone out, so he opened his mouth and said to the fourth master: "Master, I found that the people over there in Jiangnan have a very close connection with the eighth elder brother, and I didn't dare to investigate carefully, for fear that they would find out about our house." ”
The fourth master pondered for a moment, you have done a good job in this matter, go down and rest. Li Kequn took the order and went down.
When Li Kequn came home, when he saw his daughter-in-law, he suddenly thought that he hadn't done what his uncle had entrusted him to do, but now it seemed too late to find the fourth master.
Li Kequn's lady saw her grandfather there from a distance with a chagrined look, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, but the fourth master has trained you?" ”
Li Kequn became angry when he heard this: "What does the fourth master have to do with you as a woman or not." After that, he may feel that his tone is too impulsive, so he spoke again: "It's not that the fourth master trained me, the fourth master praised me, it's because my uncle forgot what he told me." ”
Mrs. Li opened her mouth and said, "Isn't it your uncle's youngest daughter?" ”
Li Kequn sighed, "Exactly, my uncle has just such a daughter who has entered the Fourth Master's Mansion, and I happened to be doing things under the Fourth Master's hands and forgot about it." ”
Mrs. Li looked at her husband like this, so she had to persuade her: "Now that you have been transferred back to the capital, are you still worried that you don't have time to go to the fourth master?" ”
Li Kequn thought for a while, "That's right, you go back and pack up more things, and bring dates when you go next time." ”
Mrs. Li responded: "Well, I don't know if Gege is doing well." As soon as these words came out, Li Kequn's face changed, after all, there was a favored Li Gege in the Fourth Master's Mansion, but it was the daughter of Lord Li's family, not a jujube.
Mrs. Li looked at her husband's changed face and knew that Li Zao was not favored, so she had to sigh and go out to pack her things. I thought in my heart, let's clean up more for Li Zao, my grandfather was raised by his uncle since he was a child, and his relationship with Li Zao is also very good.
It's just that Li Kequn's news was half a year ago, and although he is still favored by Li Gege, this Li Gege is his own.
Li Zao naturally didn't know about his own form working under the hands of the fourth master, or embroidered his own roses on the couch. Li Zao is thinking of embroidering it before the Mid-Autumn Festival to surprise the fourth master, according to this posture, it will definitely be finished.
Looking at the roses that had already formed in his hand, Li Zao called Ah Ling over: "Ah Ling, you and Ah Qiao can embroider these." ”
Ah Ling nodded, she and Ah Qiao were both from the Internal Affairs Office, and these jobs were all basic skills.
Li Zao looked at Ah Ling with a smile: "Then why don't we embroider this on this account." Ah Ling thought about it and thought it looked good, so she pulled Ah Qiao and started the embroidery business.
