Chapter 361
And beside her, there are all servant girls.
Some had towels on their arms.
Some hold essential oils and wait for orders.
After about a cup of tea, Mammy Liu asked in a low voice, "Fu Jin, my servant's face turned red from looking at you, it should be time."
Ruoyin lazily opened his eyes and gave a faint "hmm".
Although the hot springs are good, you can't be greedy.
Otherwise, you will feel dizzy and weak.
After all, this thing consumes the most calories.
Immediately afterwards, a servant helped Ruoyin get up, and put a snow-white cashmere bath towel on her.
Then, she lay down on the bench covered with a thick blanket, and the servants gave her a bath.
That slave is the maid of Zhuangzi, specially trained.
At the end, Qiaofeng applied rose essential oil to Ruoyin.
In this kind of dry winter, if you soak in hot springs without oiling, your whole body will get peeled.
Ruoyin lay prone on the bench, with his arms resting on his chin.
She felt that the meridians, muscles and bones all over her body were dredged in an instant.
All the turbidity in the body is discharged from the body, and fatigue is relieved.
But just when she was quite comfortable, her eyes were replaced by a touch of familiar navy blue.
And around, where there was a shadow of a slave, they were all sent out.
She looked up slowly, and saw fourth master looking down at her.
"Put on your clothes, I'll wait for you in the house." After he finished speaking lightly, he lifted his feet and went out.
A while later, Ruoyin put on her clothes and entered the room.
I saw fourth master rubbing his fingers as usual.
But what he was wearing on his hand was not the emerald finger wrench from before.
Fourth Master's previous finger puller had a strong color, bluish black but still green, pure in texture, it was a top-notch product.
And his current finger is Lantian black jade, which is heavy in color and texture, fine in texture, and as black as ink, it is also a good product.
And it is carved with bamboo and complicated lines, which looks mysterious and atmospheric.
It seems that compared with the previous jade wrench, this one is more suitable for Fourth Master's mysterious and arrogant temperament.
"Master, I was worried that you wouldn't like the finger wrench I gave you, but I never thought that you would actually wear it." Ruoyin poured fourth master a cup of tea.
The fourth master took Ruo, and said casually: "The previous finger was missing a corner, and it just so happens that yours is okay, so I replaced it."
The wrench is generally used to hook the string when archery.
Even when shooting an arrow, it can prevent the fingers from being scratched by the rapidly drawn bowstring.
So after wearing it for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some wear and tear.
Ruoyin raised her eyebrows, smiled and sat down beside fourth master.
There is a small table between the two of them.
The figure of fourth master is picky and hard to serve.
Since he said it was okay, he was really satisfied.
However, Su Peisheng twitched the corner of his mouth.
If the master said in his heart that he wanted Dai Fujin to give it to him, he would just say so.
After all, the jade ring finger from before has been missing a corner, and I haven't seen it replaced.
At this time, the fourth master on the side sipped his tea, and asked lightly, "Why did you remember to pull your fingers?"
"It just so happened that the department store came across a hand-sized piece of Lantian black jade. I saw it as suitable for the Lord, so I thought about asking someone to make something for the Lord. It just happened to be the birthday of the Lord, so I asked someone to make a finger puller." " Ruoyin said indifferently.
"I remember, this jade seems to be very rare."
"It's true that it's rare, but I heard that wearing this jade for a long time can keep you healthy. I want to say that no matter how rare and expensive it is, I have to give it to my master." Ruoyin smiled with his handkerchief on, and said, "People say they like the inner meaning of Hetian jade. I think that a gentleman must match Hetian jade, but I think this Lantian Moyu is more suitable for me."
Fourth master raised his thick eyebrows, "How do you say that?"
"I'm a layman, so I think it looks like a master, bringing a sense of mystery and nobility."
The fourth master was suddenly flattered by the little woman again.
However, women's flattery is not obvious.
It's as if it's true.
He coughed lightly, and said: "Then I ask you, why did you ask someone to carve an arrow feather with two hearts on the circle inside?"
As soon as these words came out, Ruoyin was slightly startled.
Su Peisheng shook his whisk and sent all the servants out.
"It's hope that Lord's arrow skills will get better and better, killing two birds with one stone."
Fourth Master didn't speak, but turned his head and glanced at the woman lightly, as if probing.
Facing Fourth Master's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Ruoyin pretended to smile shyly, and said frankly, "Yes, I wanted to get closer to Master's heart, so I carved that pattern."
Regarding women's words, fourth master paused slightly.
Then he said coldly: "If you have time, spend more time on taking care of the house, educating elder brother, take care of your own body, don't fix these useless things."
Every time on his birthday, she always has endless new tricks to play.
"Yes, I see." Ruoyin lowered her head and obediently agreed.
Xin said that if she didn't fix these things, then he wouldn't know if he was moved by a gift from a woman in the backyard, and there would be nothing wrong with her.
Moreover, if it was really useless, fourth master wouldn't have put it on right away.
Thinking about wrenching the finger, it still suits his mind.
What a duplicity man!
The fourth master squinted at the woman who looked like a little wife, stood up and stretched his arms, and said lightly: "Place it!"
Ruoyin answered "Yes", and went up to help fourth master change and wash.
Wait until the candles in the house are blown out, and the two lie down......
In the early morning of the next day, Xiumu's fourth master brought Ruoyin and the others back to the mansion.
When they arrived at the mansion, Ruoyin hurriedly ordered the servants to buy new year's goods.
And decorate the house more festively.
Therefore, busy days inevitably pass quickly.
On New Year's Eve, Ruoyin followed Fourth Master into the palace to attend the New Year's banquet as usual.
During this time, she looked around.
Still only saw the woman named Aruna.
Did not see the eight blessings.
It seems that this woman is always by my father's side now.
If you didn't know it and saw it, you would think that Aruna was the real wife.
But she changed her mind, Bafujin is still in confinement, it is important to take good care of her body in the mansion.
A few hours later, the New Year's banquet was over, and Ruoyin and fourth master went back home.
According to the old rules, fourth master kept his old age in Ruoyin's main courtyard as usual.
At this time, Ruoyin was holding Hong Yi in his arms, sitting a little lazily.
The fourth master next to her has always maintained a sitting posture.
Xiaoxuehua cocked her tail, ran to Hongyi and called "meow meow".
"Here you are." Without hesitation, Hong Yi threw the dried beef in his hand to Xiao Xuehua.
As my mother said, you must know how to share.
Seeing this, Ruoyin couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiaoxuehua, how can you be so greedy, my father and I added chicken legs to you just now, and you ran up to Zhuang Zhuang to play cute and want to eat, you are really naughty !"
As soon as the voice fell, fourth master's faint voice came from beside him: "After all, it's your cat, but it's extra cunning."
Ruoyin's mouth twitched, and he gave fourth master a coquettish look, "I'll just treat it as the master's praise."
"You always put gold on your face." Fourth Master smiled.
So, the family of three continued to chat for a while.
Who made it so that there are no TVs, mobile phones, and computers here.
The only way to pass the time is to spend the New Year's Eve by chatting.
Ruoyin looked down at Hongyi in his arms.
He has grown up a lot compared to last year, and he can already communicate with adults normally.
There was purity and wit in the dark eyes.
The baby's fat face, when it smiles, reveals its white teeth, soft and cute.
The meaty mouth is eating the dried beef in his hand.
Ruoyin pinched Hongyi's baby's fat face, and said, "Erniang's Hongyi is one year older. He went to bed early at this time last year, and he is still energetic this year."
"I'll protect Erniang when I grow up." Hong Yi suddenly said these words while sucking the jerky in his mouth.
Ruoyin's heart was about to be melted by Hongyi.
The point is that she didn't teach him to say that, how could she say such warm words.
She smiled lightly, and for some reason, she thought of teasing Hong Yi, and asked, "Zhuang Zhuang, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
This should be a question that many parents want to know.
Seeing Hongyi eating the jerky in his mouth and tilting his head, he really fell into deep thought.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head to look at Fourth Master, opened his eyes wide and worshiped authentically: "I want to be Ama when I grow up."
"Pfft." Ruoyin, a mother, couldn't hold back.
If you just listen to the surface, it sounds like you want to be a father.
But her own son, she still understands.
However, fourth master is a man who doesn't understand style.
So, Ruoyin turned around and saw fourth master's face was a little cold.
Probably because he was dissatisfied with Hongyi's answer, but he couldn't give a lecture on New Year's Eve, so his face became very tense.
So, Ruoyin induced Hongyi to speak, "Zhuang Zhuang, you mean that you think Ama is amazing and is your role model, so when you grow up, you want to be a man like Ama, right?"
"Yes, Amazhui is amazing." I don't know if he was too excited or admired his father too much, the little guy's tongue curled up a bit.
And when he spoke, he danced and danced, and there was a gleam of worship in his eyes.
"Master, did you hear that, our strong family worships you," Ruoyin said.
The man's deep black eyes glanced at the clever mother and son.
He smiled lightly and said, "It's just a sycophant who gave birth to a little sycophant."
"Master!" Ruoyin called out reproachfully.
Fourth Master glared at her angrily, "Keep your New Year's Eve well!"
Ruoyin curled his lips, rolled his eyes in his heart, and sat down in a proper manner.
And this sitting, I sat until 12 o'clock in the morning.
When the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside became weaker, Ruoyin hugged Hongyi and rested.
Since Hongyi was still young, he put it in the innermost place to rest.
Fourth master was in the middle, and Ruoyin slept outside.
Who made the status of women here inferior to that of men, so they have to sleep outside blowing candles and serving men.
If a man wants to drink water at night, the woman has to bring tea and water immediately.
Tonight, with the little guy Hongyi by his side, Fourth Master just tightened the woman's hand, "Go to sleep."
Ruoyin let out an obedient "Yes" and fell into a deep sleep.
She is really tired.
After coming here, I seldom go to bed so late.
In the early morning of the next day, Ruoyin and fourth master got up early and entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Kangxi, the Queen Mother, and Concubine De.
And in the next few days, fourth master will be busy paying New Year's greetings to the prince and elder brother in the palace.
As for those elder brothers of the younger generation, as well as officials, they also wanted to give him New Year greetings, so he was busy meeting guests.
On such days, until the eighth day of the lunar new year, there are still guests visiting.
Knowing that fourth master was busy, Ruoyin went to her mother's house by herself.
On this day, she suddenly thought of Ba Fujin again.
When Bafujin was at her mother's house before, she wanted to go and see it.
But due to never going to the door.
Knowing the twists and turns in the gate of the mansion, it is not easy to come to Fujin, so she will not add to the chaos.
Now that Fujin has returned to the mansion, she must go to see it in person.
So, she called Grandma Liu: "Go and prepare some supplements. You must eat something nourishing for your body during the confinement period, and prepare a set of burnt blue headgear. Call Qiaofeng and the guards and come with me to Babeile Mansion." .”
"Hey." After Mama Liu agreed, she went to get ready.
On the eighth master's mansion, not far from Zhenbeiler's mansion.
On this snowy day, it took less than half an hour to arrive at the gate of Baye Mansion.
After the carriage stopped, Nanny Liu stepped forward to communicate with the servant at the door.
"Our master is here to visit Bafujin."
"Right now, Fujin is in confinement, so it's inconvenient to see guests, so please go back." The slave replied without hesitation.
"Our master is Sifu Jin, why don't you let him see you?" Nanny Liu said angrily.
It's unreasonable. When the sisters-in-law came to visit, they shut the door behind them.
After seeing the servant startled for a while, he said embarrassingly: "Please wait a moment, I will go to ask for instructions from Fujin."
Ruoyin, who was sitting in the carriage, could hear the servant's words clearly.
She knew that Fujin was not doing well.
But he didn't know that Fujin's life was so bad.
Even if there is a guest who wants to meet, Aruna's consent must be obtained.
If it wasn't her who wanted to see Fujin today, it would be someone else, or someone from Fujin's natal family.
I'm afraid I won't see the eight blessings at all.
After a while, there was a sound of "Auspicious side Fujin."
Nanny Liu lifted the curtain of Ruoyin's car, and said, "Fu Jin, my servant will help you get out of the car."
Ruoyin held Nanny Liu's hand and got out of the carriage.
After getting off the carriage, the servants saluted her.
Aruna even wore a festive red flag dress, saluted Ruoyin and said, "Hey, what's the wind today, it brought Sifujin here."
Ruoyin raised her hand casually, motioning for her to get up.
"I came to see my eighth sibling, but I didn't know that there was a strong wind in this house, and even the guests were not allowed in." Ruoyin said with her chin raised.
After Aruna got up, her body froze slightly.
Then he smiled and said: "Fujin is still in confinement, so Eighth Master asked me to take care of the household chores. If the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."
He looked sensible and generous.
If Ruoyin hadn't seen Aruna's ugly face on the day Ba Ye married this woman, she would have been cheated.
Sure enough, the royal family is all movie kings and queens.
She held her lips, and said casually: "The escrow is different. They don't understand the rules at all, and they don't know how to teach the servants to open their eyes to see clearly, so they don't see any guests."
"I didn't say that, Huang Ama always called my father and my brothers friendly, and the sisters-in-law in the backyard were harmonious. If everyone is like you and shuts the family out, how can the relationship be maintained between the relatives!" Her The tone is full of energy.
In every gesture, they all suppressed Aruna with the high profile of the courtroom.
Besides, she is not only superior to Aruna in status.
Even in terms of seniority, she is also Aruna's fourth sister-in-law.
Although she rarely puts on airs.
But she only needs to think of Bafujin.
Facing Aruna's little white flower-like face and actions, she couldn't hold back.
"What Si Fujin said, Aruna will keep it in mind." Aruna saluted slightly, and said: "But I am also doing it for Fujin's good, after all, she is still in confinement, and she is always tired when seeing guests."
Ruoyin didn't have the time to listen to Aruna's nonsense.
"Okay, I want to see my eighth sibling."
After a slight pause, Aruna smiled stiffly, and asked the servant to take Ruoyin to the main courtyard.
However, when she looked at Ruoyin's back, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes.
"Master, why are Si Fujin so arrogant." The maid beside him said.
Aruna snorted coldly, and said with a vicious face: "Oh, let her be arrogant, it's not that I haven't seen the fourth master, who is much more sinister and unpredictable than our eighth master, and when she suffers in the future, Let's see who can be arrogant to the end!"
After a while, the servant took Ruoyin directly to the main hall.
Xiaozhu was cleaning the table, seeing Ruoyin was like seeing a life-saving straw.
Immediately stopped to wipe the table, eyes shined and said: "Sifu Jin is auspicious!"
She said in her heart that Sifujin is here, if she could teach her master some ways to deal with vixen, that would be great.
