Igge's funeral was very simple, and he was carried into the coffin after seven days of being stopped in the side courtyard. Fourteen suspects that this matter is pickled, and I am not allowed to interfere. It wasn't until the day of Iger's funeral that I wore plain clothes for the ceremony. Igege's mother's family sent her mother-in-law into the house to ask for peace, and I ordered Minqiu to reward him generously and personally send him out of the door.

When I turned back to the west courtyard, I passed through the wide road, and saw the people taking up the ladder to clean up the white gauze curtains, white lanterns, and white wreaths on the beams of the house, and then took off their mourning clothes, and resumed their previous talking, laughing, and laughing. The firecrackers set off when the coffin was lifted, scattered pieces of paper were spread all over the ground, mixed with mud and stones, and looked extremely dirty. The mother-in-law swept swiftly and carefully with their broad brooms, as if to quickly wipe away the last trace of Iggami's breath left in the world.

As I passed, all of them stopped what they were doing and said goodbye.

After all, there were only people in the house, and I was not in a good mood, so my face was a little dull and depressed, and I said, "Let's get up and continue to do things." Everyone replied "yes", and when they saw that I was displeased, they stopped laughing and did not dare to say any more, and the surrounding area fell silent.

I always felt that there was a gaze staring at me in the dark, and I couldn't help but glance behind me, just in time to bump into a pair of big living eyes. The man was also stunned, as if he had lost his mind, and the bamboo dustpan in his hand fell to the ground with a click. The boss next to him lowered his voice and began to scold, and I ordered: "Stop scolding, go to work." ”

When the boss heard my words, he trembled and leaned over and said, "Yes." ”

When Rose was far away, Zilan returned to the horse house on an errand. She sat on the stone pier, carefully remembering every movement, every expression, every word Rose said. Liu San'er, who was on an errand with her, gasped and said, "It's good for you, you dare to hide here and be lazy in the daytime just because you showed your face in front of the Fourteenth Master." Stay will let the steward see it, but it's good to have you. ”

Zi Lan looked in a trance, as if she hadn't heard anything, and asked with a blank look: "What do you think of Fujin?" ”

Liu San'er couldn't understand her words, and said with a big grin: "Of course, our Fujin is the best Fujin in the world, have you ever seen a master in a mansion who has not punished a minion?" We haven't been punished in Fujin. Have you ever seen a Fujin that would boil a pot of beef and mutton soup for the minions to drink? Let's enjoy it. There are also snacks in the West Courtyard, which can't be bought outside, but more than half of the minions in our house have eaten them... In short, if you stay in the mansion for a long time, you will be able to know the benefits of our Fujin..."Seeing that Zilan was becoming more and more soulless, she couldn't help but complain: "Don't talk nonsense, there are many things." ”

With that, he pulled Zilan and walked into the stable.

Because of the death of people in the side courtyard, Fang Fujin was afraid of ghosts, so he invited a monk to recite Buddhist scriptures in his room for three days. Wu was very bold and did not feel afraid, but he did not dare to walk in front of the Igge house at night. After Iger's death, I felt very guilty, and even felt a little more pity for the Wu family, and ordered the treasury to reward her with a lot of silk cloth, and secretly wondered if I could let the Wu family out of the house.

If she could be given freedom, maybe she would have a better life in the future.

Besides, she hasn't slept yet.

I summoned the Wu family to meet in the West Courtyard, and said frankly: "Igerge went at a young age, and even I felt desolate. It's not a way for you to stay up in the house, and a good youth should pursue your own beloved, your own happiness. If you have a mind, I can let the Fourteenth Master let you out of the house. Wu's body was so frightened that his body was torn apart, and he knelt down in a panic, and said with a burst of tears: "Fujin, did I make any mistakes, as long as you say it, I will definitely change it." I'm Gege rewarded by the emperor to the master, you can't drive me away! ”

In the Qing Dynasty, the concubine's person, like a slave, was completely in the hands of the master, and could be beaten, sold, or given away. Wu completely misunderstood what I meant, and I wanted to explain the original intention, so I opened my mouth, but I didn't know where to start before she could understand.

I helped her up and whispered, "I'm not trying to drive you away, but you're still young, and you can find a man who cherishes you and understands you to spend the rest of your life with." Wu swore to me and said firmly: "My man will never have a second person except for the fourteenth master, Fujin is too worried." "She thought I suspected her of stealing men.

Hey, I really couldn't communicate, so I had to say, "I know, you can go back." ”

At dinner, I talked to Fourteen about it, and Fourteen almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of food, and said, "Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?" The Wu family is the person who is rewarded by the emperor, can you say that you can let it go? Besides, can't you afford it? Want to let it out? "I had three black lines hanging on my head, and it was so simple that when they misinterpreted it, it became extremely complicated.

Besides, after Wu went out of the West Courtyard, he sat down on the kang and trembled with anger. Her girl Lu Yu made a bowl of Qingxin tea for her to drink, and said, "Gege, don't worry, maybe Fujin didn't want to drive you..." So what does she mean? Seeing that the Wu clan was so angry that he couldn't listen to anything, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Wu's mind turned and asked, "What is the relationship between Min Qiu and you?" ”

Lu Yu said honestly: "Minqiu's room is close to mine, and we meet from time to time in the morning and night, but she is the head of the West Courtyard, and she is busy, so I can't talk to her. Wu said: "You pay attention to what Min Qiuping likes to eat, what he does, and who he socializes." Since Fu Jin has been unjust to me, I don't need to endure it any longer. Lu Yu couldn't guess what Wu was thinking, but she was a slave, and it was her duty to serve the master loyally, so she respectfully agreed.

I went into the palace with the fourteenth to ask Concubine De to say goodbye, and by the way, I mentioned that I wanted to ask the imperial doctor to check the pulse, and Concubine De was very relieved to see me about giving birth to a child, and specially ordered the familiar imperial doctor to go directly to Baylor Mansion for consultation. After the doctor checked my pulse, he didn't say what the symptoms were, and prescribed a few maintenance prescriptions as usual, and left.

Xu took Chinese medicine, and every day he felt that his chest was swollen, his lower abdomen was slightly tingling, and he also had insomnia at night.

I didn't dare tell Fourteen.

Fourteen noticed something strange and asked, "You usually sleep fast, why are you tossing and turning every day these days?" Is there something on your mind? You tell the master, and the master will help you come up with ideas. I refused at first, and prevaricated: "I don't know why." Fourteen stared at me fixedly, his eyes were full of warmth, and he joked: "Don't hide it from your master, your master is aware of everything." After a pause, he said, "Every time you lie, your cheeks tremble, so don't try to lie to me." ”

I subconsciously touched my face, and said to him again, "Where did I lie?" You liar. ”

Fourteen clasped my palms with both hands and smiled, "You just tried to lie to me. Say, what the hell is going on? I couldn't hide it, so I confessed: "After eating a few prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctor, my chest was swollen, my stomach hurt, and I couldn't sleep at night." Fourteen sighed and said angrily: "You are not allowed to eat it from now on, make up for it, but if you are not sick, taking medicine will make people sick." As he spoke, he reached my breasts with both hands. Fang, kneading with appropriate strength from the bottom to the top, asked with a pure face: "Will it be more comfortable to pinch like this?" ”

Pinch your head, even if I have an open temperament, I can't help you move your hands and feet in front of people.

I'm petrified, no, the whole room is petrified, and I just keep moving, my eyes staring at my chest, my hands still kneading. I was pinched by him and my body rippled like a puddle of spring water, but he said with a clear conscience: "The book says that the chest is swollen because the meridians are not smooth, and the master will help you dredge it." He said with a straight face: "You can't take the medicine anymore, you know?" I obediently "um", the lazy and delicate nasal voice was like a cat, Fourteen then reacted, wrapped his arms around my waist, lifted it in the air, and said with a sly smile: "Let's go inside for a massage... Undressed... More effective. ”

At half past three in the morning, fourteen moved my body, and I woke up. Fourteen walked around the house barefoot naked, and after putting on their underwear, he called his subordinates to come into the house and serve in court clothes. I really couldn't sleep, so I just got up and accompanied Fourteen to have breakfast. His breakfast was very casual, sometimes two nests, sometimes corn on the cob, sometimes a big bowl of noodles. It was too early for me to eat, so I drank two mouthfuls of leftover soup from his noodles, and when the sky was bright, I carried a lantern and sent him out of the house.

The moon was still hanging in the treetops, and the sky was clear, blue and cloudy. The flowers and plants were stained with dewdrops, and the birds were fluttering and chirping. The majestic eaves of Baylor House stand under the dawn, quiet and heavy. I took Fourteen's hand, the dew wet the corners of our robes, and we smelled the cold and fresh air, and felt that our whole body and mind were light and clean.

When I got to the door, there was a little maid leading the horse at the bottom of the steps, and I gave Fourteen a kiss to work, and said, "Come back early." ”

Fourteen: "There are many things to do today, I may not come back for dinner, if I haven't returned after two o'clock, you can eat first." He added, "I'll try to get back as soon as possible." He got on his horse and shouted, "Anan, where is the whip of the master?" ”

A short boy hurriedly offered a horsewhip, and when Fourteen caught it, he took two steps back.

Fourteen said angrily: "Since you are on duty in the mansion, everything should be neat." Zilan bowed her head and bowed, "Yes." "Fourteen led the guards away, and I looked at the little guy named Anan, and I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it.

Hey, it doesn't matter, anyway, I never want to worry about the affairs of the outer courtyard.

Fourteen entered the palace, went to the Qianqing Palace to ask Kangxi for peace, and met several masters and brothers in Shangshufang on the palace street, and the brothers didn't talk about state affairs, talking and laughing, and they didn't know how kind they were. Kangxi chatted with his sons while having breakfast, it was rare that everyone was happy, Kangxi twitched his nerves, and the Sacred Heart said happily: "I will go to the Kubu room at four o'clock in the afternoon, and I will move with you." After a brief pause, he smiled again: "You brothers also compete, and whoever wins will be rewarded." ”
