There were only two yarn lamps lit in the house, and when the girl Bi'er saw that the fourth master was coming, she was overjoyed, and she hurriedly blew off the fire, lit two large lamps, and lifted the gilded copper carved Wanshou Ruyi pavilion-style palace lamp under the wall, and put it lightly on the kang table.

The faint yellow light shines through the hollow pattern, filling the room. Ai Lianfu said: "Do you want to eat?" The fourth master did not sit down, he stood at the desk with his hands behind his back, his expression was calm, and said: "I heard your eldest brother say last time, you grew up in Suzhou when you were young?" Ai Lian didn't know what the fourth master was thinking, so she replied casually: "Yes." The big wrench on the fourth master's index finger was buckled on the table for a while, and there was a crisp sound.

His expression was different from the past, and Ailian's heart was suspicious, but she didn't guess that her identity had been recognized by the fourth master. The fourth master still didn't change his face, turned around and sat on the edge of the kang, and said in a deep voice: "Since you entered the mansion, is the master treating you well or not?" Ai Lian didn't understand the meaning of the fourth master at all, and said softly: "The master treats me well." The fourth master showed a vague smile, looked at the slight fire on the kang table, and muttered for a long time before asking, "Your hometown is in Suzhou?" He said a word in the east and a word in the west, Ai Lian couldn't figure it out, and replied according to the caliber she had spoken to Nian Qianyao before: "The slave's hometown is in Fengyang Mansion, Anhui, and she entered Beijing with her family when she was a child, and she never went back. The fourth master smiled, his voice was mellow, but Ai Lian trembled when he heard it.

He said, "Then when did you go to Suzhou again?" Ai Lian was stunned, and suddenly realized that the fourth master was tricking her own words, she was frightened, and after thinking for a while, she said: "When I was a child, I went to Suzhou with my mother to walk through relatives" The fourth master said: "You are Han, why do you call your mother Eniang?" As he spoke, he turned the conversation and said sharply: "You are so bold! Ai Lian was so frightened that her heart was broken, she knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "I don't know what mistake the slave and maid have made, please make it clear." "What hasn't she experienced?

I also walked through it twice before the ghost gate closed! She vaguely guessed that the fourth master knew her identity, and she had a bottom in her heart, but she was much calmer, in short, the soldiers came to block the water to cover the earth, she had nothing to lose, and there was nothing to be afraid of, so thinking about it, her face gradually calmed down.

The fourth master looked at her carefully, his eyes were full of cold coldness, and he was secretly surprised, this Nian's family was a little bold.

The fourth master said to the door: "Su Peisheng! Su Peisheng entered the house and said respectfully: "What does the master command?" The fourth master said: "Let everyone go down, you personally guard under the corridor, and no one is allowed to move." Su Peisheng didn't dare to ask more, he didn't even raise his head, answered yes, and led everyone to retreat.

At this time, the sky was dyed with a hint of morning light, as if in just an instant, the sky and the earth were full of light. The candle flame in the house gradually dimmed, the fourth master opened the lamp cover, blew the lamp on the kang, and said unhurriedly: "Tell me, who are you?" "How wise the fourth master is, he dials thousands of catties in four or two, and he smooths out the ins and outs in a few words.

Ai Lian heard the fourth master pick white, and her body was shocked, and everything understood. She was smart and cunning, and knew that it was wrong to say anything at this time, so she said: "The slave doesn't dare to hide it, the slave and the maid were originally a medical girl in the pharmacy in Yuquan Town, and she became Nian Xiaowan by mistake." The fourth master didn't expect her to be so simple and frank, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he said gently: "But no one in the pharmacy knows your origin, who are you?" The more amiable he was, the more terrifying Ai Lian felt, she pursed her lips and refused to speak, the fourth master leaned down, picked up her chin, grabbed her cheeks with one hand, and said, "What? Still reluctant to be the old fourteen? "The fourth master actually didn't know Ailian's true identity, he just took what Li said to test Ailian.

Ai Lian really shuddered and was shocked. The fourth master saw the clue and said with a smile: "Your fallen fetus is the old fourteen?" After a pause, he laughed more and more, let go of his fingertips, patted Ailian's cheek, and said, "You still dare to cuckold your grandfather?" It's really an ambitious leopard guts! Ai Lian was afraid that she would hurt Fourteen, so she didn't have time to think about it, so she instinctively defended Fourteen, and said: "The slave has nothing to do with the Fourteenth Master, let alone an abortion!" "The fourth master has watched fourteen grow up since he was a child, although the tempers of the two brothers are incompatible, but the fourth master of fourteen knows his temperament.

Not to mention that Fourteen and Weiwei have a very good relationship, even if it is not good, Fourteen will never get involved with his brother's wife and concubine.

Ai Lian was worried that the fourth master would not believe it, so she looked at the fourth master with an anxious face, gritted her teeth and said: "The slave and maid were forced, at that time, you were taking Li Fang Fujin to live in Zhuangzi, and the second young master of the Chen Family Pharmacy in Yuquan Town knew the identity of the slave and maid, so he threatened the slave and maid, and the slave and maid really had no way" She burst into tears, and turned out this unbearable past for the sake of the fourteenth reputation, she thought that the fourth master would never spare herself, anyway, she was going to die, she didn't want to involve the fourteenth.

In the past, she could kill Yan Rose for the sake of Fourteen, but now she can also force herself into the precipice for Fourteen.

At this moment, she suddenly understood how much she hated, how deep her love was. The fourth master looked at Ai Lian carefully, he was scheming, and no one could hide his eyes.

He knew that Ailian's words were telling the truth, but he also saw that Ailian's true liking for Fourteen. The corners of the fourth master's lips rose, and he smiled: "You are infatuated when you stay fourteen." Ai Lian hurriedly said: "It's the slave maid who is delusional about the fourteenth master, and she has nothing to do with the fourteenth master." The fourth master raised his hand, signaled Ai Lian to keep his mouth shut, and said, "You colluded with the minister and deceived the prince, it is a capital crime!" Without waiting for Ailian's reaction, she continued: "Master will give you a chance to atone for your sins, and if things are done well, Lord will reward you to the old fourteenth." If you don't help your master, you will be dragged to the firewood room and beaten to death immediately! From reading between the lines with Nian Qianyao, Ai Lian has long understood that the fourth master is a person who wants to do great things, and he may be in charge of this Qing world in the future.

If he becomes the emperor and asks Fourteen to marry her by the emperor's order, if Fourteen does not marry, it will be a rebellion. She was full of excitement and asked, "Can the master speak as a word?" The fourth master smiled at her and said, "It's hard to chase the horse." Ai Lian thought about it and said directly: "What does the master want the slave to do?" The fourth master said: "The master wants you to monitor Nian Qianyao and tell me everything about his every move." Don't let him know that you have found out who you are. "Ai Lian is not a weak woman in the boudoir, the fourth master is a little bit, and she knows it.

She kowtowed and said, "The slave is willing to serve the fourth master." "Things are going well, the fourth master finally installed an eyeliner next to Nian Qianyao that is safer than anyone else.

But when he walked out of the yard, he suddenly felt a little sad. The sky is full of scarlet, he misses Li Mo'er more and more, in his heart, in this world, she is the only one who treats him sincerely, without the slightest vanity.

He beckoned, ordered Su Peisheng to step forward, and whispered a few words sideways. Su Peisheng's face was white and red, and he responded again and again.

Although Ai Lian is a spy, she is still his woman, and someone dares to cuckold him, so naturally he will not die well.

He instructed Su Peisheng to immediately send someone to Yuquan Town to put all the people in the Chen Family Pharmacy into prison and wait for their fate.

If he really wants to harm a common person, it is too easy. A few days passed, and the Li family was very depressed when they saw that Ailian was not only fine, but had received many rewards from the fourth master.

The fourth master gradually got a little tired of Li Yao'er, because every time he saw her, he would think of her sister for no reason.

But in the Song Gege house, it is clear and quiet, and the mind is clear, but you can live a comfortable day. The fourth master treated Ai Lian exactly the same as before, or even better, but in fact, he never touched Ai Lian again, and every time they met, except for talking about Nian Qianyao, the two had no side talk.

Kangxi pointed out to Hongchun's Fujin that he was a Guerjia clan, and Ama Ziqingde was a member of the first class in the court, with a rich family background, and the two families received this grace, both of which were festive.

Because Hongchun is going to get married next year, Concubine De specially selected two show girls from the Wang family and the Cui family to serve Hongchun. Hongchun moved out of the courtyard of Shufang Fujin and carved out another house from the backyard for him to sleep.

The two newcomers are one year older than Hongchun, Wang's lively and handsome, Cui's introverted and quiet, Hongchun's self-contained and steady, but he prefers the noisy Wang, and he ignores Cui's aside, and Wang's is like glue.

Fourteen was not at home, Hongchun became the pillar of Baylor Mansion, and he would be asked to do many things that I was not sure about.

And he is sensible, everything is according to my wishes, he is in charge when I let him be the master, and if I don't open my mouth, he will never point fingers.

Ah Xing moved back to my yard, and she listened to the affairs of the people by her side. Sometimes I'm tired, and I leave everything to her, and she can do it well.

The summer had passed, and the march of the Fourteenth was still halfway through, and I wrote to him every day, but I did not always receive a reply from him every day.

Sometimes it takes two or three days to hear from him, and sometimes he receives a basket of souvenirs from him. Whenever this happens, I will happily divide the souvenirs into many portions, and then give them to Kangxi, Concubine De, the fourth master, the eighth master, the ninth master, the tenth master or the Ama Eniang of Wanyan Mansion.

I would also send all kinds of jerky, dried fries, wine, etc., and I even thought about making instant noodles for him, and the dry food he brought was difficult to eat, but the instant noodles were still good.

But I tried several times, but it didn't work, and then I had to give up. Although I was separated from Fourteen, I thought about him every day and every night, cooking him food, sewing him clothes and socks, and writing to him as if I had never been separated from him.

I thought that the days would be spent quietly in waiting, until one day, I suddenly realized that I had not received a letter from Fourteen for half a month.

This would never be possible in normal times. I went into the palace to find Concubine De, and after a long time of inquiry, I learned that the fourteenth encountered a once-in-a-century flash flood on the way, and in order to relieve the victims, he temporarily stationed troops in the local area.

Concubine De kept comforting me and said that Kangxi had sent the imperial doctor in the palace to hurry over and reassure me.

Having said that, I'm still nervous, this is an era where even a cold kills people.
