Four Blessings Jin Ulanara? Yuechan personally prepared auspicious clothes for Xiao Man, and wanted to take one of them to Yonghe Palace to ask for peace, but just in time for Ergege to get sick, the fourth master was afraid that Xiao Man would lose his sense of proportion when he entered the palace for the first time, so it would be rare to accompany him. Because of the rain, the road was not easy to walk, so the fourth master and Xiao Man took the carriage together. Xiao Man rarely went out alone with the fourth master, and was a little nervous.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Su Peisheng opened his umbrella to catch rain for the fourth master, and told other eunuchs to serve Xiaoman. The rain and fog were hazy, like a faint layer of gauze, Xiao Man always felt that he couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't see the true face of the Forbidden City. As the rain gradually subsided, I walked around the corridor, and the vermilion palace walls were drenched by the rain, becoming dark red and dirty, and there were also places of disrepair, and the cracks were filled with black humbin. Xiao Man's heart was pounding, both scared and expectant, and he followed closely behind the fourth master, cautious step by step.

Approaching Yonghe Gate, Xiao Man saw a half-grown young man wearing a bright yellow brother robe standing at the end of the palace street from a distance, her eyes were warm, and she wanted to cry, but she just endured it, whether it was rain or water or mud under her feet, she didn't care about it, and ran towards him in a deep and shallow manner. The young man was Hongli, his face was pleasant, he stood under the door and beat for a thousand years, hugged his fists and said: "Say hello to Amma, please say hello to Eniang." The fourth master said, "Get up." Xiao Man wanted to rush forward and hug Hongli, touch him, and kiss him, but the fourth master was here, and she didn't dare to lose the slightest bit of etiquette in her words and deeds.

She muttered, "Hongli." ”

Hongli smiled at Xiao Man and said affectionately: "Eniang, is it easy to walk on the road?" Come into the house with me and get warm. With that, he took Xiao Man's hand and led her into the warm pavilion. Concubine De sat on the kang and drank tea, and Mama stood on the threshold and said, "Master, the fourth master and the side Fujin have arrived." Concubine De slowly put down the teacup and said, "Let them come in." ”

Mama lifted the curtain, but it was Hongli who rolled into Concubine De's arms first. Xiao Man was very pampered when he saw Hongli, and he was also pleased. She made two kneels and six bows, and Concubine De announced "rise", and she stood up steadily. Concubine De saw that she knew etiquette and etiquette, and she couldn't find fault everywhere, and she was a little more pleasant, and said: "Look at your flower pot shoes are wet, I have a lot of old shoes, you go to the inner room and let the girl take two pairs to try, if it fits, it will be done when you wear it back." Xiao Man didn't expect Concubine De to be so kind, and hurriedly said: "Concubine Xie De's grace." ”

Hongli said happily: "I know where to put the shoes, I'll take Eniang there." ”

Back then, the fourth master was raised by Concubine Tong's side, and Concubine De often thought about it, and always secretly waited for a morning and an afternoon on the way to the study's room, just so that he could take a look when he passed by. Now that Hongli is staying by his side, the palace walls are heavy, but his biological mother can't see it, so he can't help but feel pity, and he is extra kind and said: "Go." ”

Hongli saw that Concubine De agreed, jumped off the kang, still the same as just now, and naturally held Xiao Man's hand.

Xiao Man's eyes turned red, a drop of hot tears fell, and he hurriedly turned his face away and quietly wiped it away.

Hongli and Xiaoman were talking in the inner room, and the fourth master and Concubine De were talking in the outer room. Seeing that Concubine De's face was gloomy, the fourth master guessed a little, and said with relief: "Shi Chang is in full bloom, and Huang Ama advocated the Manchu and Han families, but he did not give her a promotion, which shows that it will not be a big deal." E-Niang doesn't have to be displeased with the young concubine's favor. Concubine De sighed lightly: "I can see it, the older your emperor Ama is, the more he loves those junior girls." Or the good concubine is blessed, go early, and don't have to suffer from these pickled gases. ”

The fourth master smiled, I don't know what to say, he himself also likes younger ones.

After speaking, it was almost twelve o'clock, and the fourth master sent Xiaoman out of the palace. The rain had stopped, and the bitter winter chill poured violently into people's robes. Standing at the gate of Donghua Gate, Xiao Man turned around and glanced at the magnificent Forbidden City, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "If the slave maid can touch the light of the fourth master and live in this palace, it will be fine." ”

The fourth master's cheeks trembled, and he said, "Do you think the palace is good?" ”

Xiao Man said: "It's not good or not, but it's more atmospheric, more majestic, and more convincing than Prince Yong's Mansion... In short, there is an indescribable taste. The fourth master stood side by side with her, looking at the bright yellow and vermilion palace under the rolling lead clouds, a subtle smile on the corner of his lips, and said in a low voice: "Yes." Xiao Man couldn't understand the meaning of his words, "Huh? With a sigh, he looked at the fourth master.

The fourth master had already turned around and went to the Qianqing Palace to ask for peace, Xiao Man was in a trance, and said that he had heard it wrong.

Xiao Man returned to Prince Yong's mansion alone, and bumped into Nian Gege standing on the gatehouse talking, she was wearing a luxurious and auspicious dress, and deliberately put on a majestic style, so she asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" Ai Lian has always been well-behaved and sensible in front of people, and she is busy with the rules and said: "Please say hello to the side Fujin." She was polite and polite, which made Xiao Man feel that his tone was too serious, so he helped him with his own hand and said, "Get up quickly." Then he asked, "But what is the matter?" How did you find the porter? ”

Ai Lian looked embarrassed, held Xiao Man's hand, and said, "The fourth master gave me a squirrel, and the command belt tied on the top belonged to the fourteenth master." I have been washing the raw pulp, and I have not been able to find anyone to send it to the Fourteen Baylor Mansion, and I really don't know who to ask for help, so I thought that maybe the concierge had a way, after all, the Fourteen Baylor Mansion often walks around with our house. ”

Xiao Man used to know Ailian, but after seven or eight years, firstly, people's appearance will change with the years, and secondly, their mental temperament will also change, and Xiao Man has always believed that Ailian's death, coupled with the fourth master's treatment of Nian's family, Xiao Man is convinced of Ailian's identity. Xiao Man smiled: "Yes, the people in the concierge have a lot of ideas. He smiled again: "The one I'm wearing is too heavy, so I'll go back and change my clothes first." Ai Lian hurriedly bent her knees and said, "Congratulations to the side Fujin." ”

She flattered her so politely, and Xiao Man felt that she was good more and more.

In addition to the command, Ai Lian put up another drawer of sauce elbows, and made half a tael of silver, and asked the people in the gatehouse to send it to the fourteenth Baylor house. Things were done, and I was about to go back to the backyard when someone behind me suddenly called: "Shui Hua?!" Ai Lian instinctively turned her head, that was the name she had used in Yuquan Town, if she was a little vigilant, she shouldn't have turned back, but... She's been a little tired lately.

Second Young Master Chen looked at it, smiled strangely, and said, "You really didn't die..."

Ai Lian had a ghost in her heart, and she turned around to escape, but Second Young Master Chen was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away." As he spoke, a eunuch in the porter scolded him, saying, "Who are you and how did you get in?" What for? Second Young Master Chen replied: "I'm here to talk about the medicinal herb business with the master, and I made an appointment yesterday..."

Sitting on the kang, Ailian's fists clenched, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

The commander was sent all the way to the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion with the sauce elbow, and the person who received it only knew that it was from Prince Yong's Mansion, but he didn't know who sent it. Although the rules of Baylor Mansion are strict, Prince Yong is the elder brother of the Fourteenth Master after all, so he is not as usual and has no one to inspect, so he was directly sent to the West Courtyard.

Fourteen accompanied me to wander in the flower path, and the roses on both sides turned into withered vines, and Fourteen asked people to temporarily put on the cypress trees of the four seasons and potted plants. I had a big belly, and I was afraid that I would fall, so I grabbed my waist and didn't let go for a moment. He told me some court jokes to amuse me, such as who fell asleep in the early dynasty, and who snored on his knees when he was on the night shift in the Qianqing Palace and Kangxi. I don't know anyone else, they are all Manchu names, they sound like foreigners, and I never care, and I don't know if it's true or not, so I have the right to tell the story.

The head of the courtyard handed over the command belt and sauce elbow to the people in the gatehouse of the west courtyard, and the eunuch in the gatehouse came over with a food box to pray, saying: "Qi Qi master, Prince Yong's Mansion sent the fourteenth master's command belt and a drawer of sauce elbows." ”

Fourteen was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he really couldn't remember how he could have put the tape in the fourth master's place, but he recognized that the thing was indeed himself, so he didn't ask anything. As soon as I heard that there was a sauce elbow, my mouth automatically secreted saliva, and I couldn't stop it. Without thinking about it, he asked people to load the plate and sit on the kang with Fourteen and gnaw on their elbows.

Fourteen just made a look, but they didn't actually eat, they just watched me eat. My food is not good, and I have been ridiculed countless times by the little sea ghost, but the food just can't be changed at the moment. Fourteen didn't dislike it, seeing that I ate with relish, a smile appeared on my face, and my mouth kept saying: "You eat slowly, no one will rob you!" ”

After eating the sauce elbow, I spread it on the kang, and the palace people cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, wrung a towel to wash my face and wipe my hands. I smiled and said, "It's been a great time, it's been a long time." Fourteen smiled and said: "It's like you've been hungry for a few days, and your feelings are good for you." I was in a good mood when I was full, rubbed to Fourteen's side, lay on the kang horizontally, put my head on his knees and coquettishly, and said, "Ye naturally treats me well, and I want to treat Ye well." So..."

Fourteen lightly brushed the broken hair between my sideburns, looked down at my face and said, "So what? ”

I raised my hand, touched the tip of his nose with my fingertips, and said mischievously, "So, whatever you want to eat for dinner, I'll cook it for you." Fourteen pouted, put his big palm on my forehead, and his warm body temperature spread over me, making me feel comfortable and smooth, forgetting for a moment the fact that there was a little man in my stomach who kept kicking me.

He said, "Forget it, always stay in the kitchen, I'm afraid that the soot will damage your face." With such a good-looking little face, you can't bear it. It was rare to say something sweet, and I became more and more happy, and said, "I'm not worried, what are you worried about?" Fourteen: "Of course I'm worried, I'm reluctant." After that, he lowered his head, kissed my lips, and sucked for a while like candy, before frowning and looking up: "A smell of sauce elbow..." How can I not taste it...", licking his lips and finding that the sauce was all on his lips.
