Chapter 371 Master Called You Over

It's just that the slender fingertips are gently rubbing the Lantian Moyu finger.

The cool and thin lips were pursed lightly, and the expression on his face was a little tense.

There are traces of rolling under the eyelids, as if thinking about something.

Ruoyin knelt with fourth master in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for so long, and now her knees ached.

Usually in the mansion, she belongs to Fujin, so she doesn't have to kneel down at all, it's others who kneel down to her.

This time, after kneeling in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for so long, the marble floor was so hard that her knees were numb from kneeling.

Now that the numbness dissipated, I felt a faint pain.

Fourth master opened his eyes casually, and saw rubbing his knees there.

"Come here." He said lightly.

Ruoyin looked up in surprise, and smiled, "Master, it doesn't matter, it just hurts a little."

Fourth master didn't speak, but just gave her a look with that domineering look.

That look seemed to be saying: Come here as soon as I tell you, what nonsense!

Ruoyin smiled mischievously at the man's warning eyes.

He moved his body and sat down next to fourth master.

But when she got close, fourth master raised his hand and put her feet on him.

"Master, it really doesn't matter." Ruoyin protected his knee tightly, not letting him look.

How could fourth master be an obedient master?

Instead of listening, he held Ruoyin's hand and rolled up her trousers.

I saw a palm-sized bruise on that snow-white knee.

After fourth master saw it, he rolled up her other trouser leg.

Similarly, there is also a big bruise.

Ruoyin didn't even look at it herself, but when she looked up, she saw fourth master's depressed face, which was not very good-looking.

And said coldly: "There are many nobles in the palace, so they are not as comfortable as being in the mansion. After entering the palace, I will wear thicker trousers for my father. Don't just want to be graceful and not warm."

"But it's already spring, no matter how thick it can be, and I'm wearing cotton trousers here, who knew that such a thing would happen suddenly."

Fourth master didn't reply, but his face sank, he lifted the curtain of the car, and said, "Su Peisheng, bring a bottle of medicine for bruises."

Hearing this, Su Peisheng was startled, and asked anxiously, "Master, are you injured?"

"Why so much nonsense!" Fourth Master frowned, and gave Su Peisheng a hard look.

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Peisheng rushed to get it in fright.

A moment later, through the curtain of the carriage, he whispered: "Master, the servant has found the medicine."

The fourth master gave a faint "hmm", then lifted the curtain of the car, and took the white porcelain medicine bottle that Su Peisheng handed over.

Then, he unscrewed the red cloth bottle cap on it, and dipped a little light brown ointment on his fingertips.

Slowly spread it evenly on Ruoyin's bruised knee.

"Hiss~" Ruoyin took a breath, and gently tugged at the corner of fourth master's clothes.

This is an ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which is not as good as those cool ointments.

After applying it, it felt hot, and the pain made her forehead sweat.

"Be patient, or your knee will be useless." Fourth Master threatened with a vicious tongue.

Ruoyin's mouth twitched, thinking she was scared.

However, seeing that he was rarely so patient, she curled her lips and just didn't resist.

Look at it from Ruoyin's perspective.

Fourth master's handsome profile is very charming.

That focused expression is more serious than when reviewing official documents.

Exuding the calmness and arrogance unique to successful men.

Ruoyin held her lips, smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord."

"Thank you for what."

"Just today in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, you speak for me and protect me."

"You are my master's Fujin. If my master doesn't protect you, I don't want my family to have a Fujin who stayed in the clan's mansion." The fourth master said coldly.

Ruoyin rolled his eyes in his heart, and the helper was also so vicious.

After a while, Fourth Master put away the medicine bottle, pushed her feet away, and said, "Okay, the medicine is finished, you take this to the servants below, and ask them to apply it on you every day."

Ruoyin looked at the medicine bottle in her hand, and said embarrassingly, "Master, don't you need to apply it?"

After all, he also accompanied her just now, kneeling in the temple for so long.

"I'm a man, with rough skin and thick flesh, I thought it looked like you." After finishing speaking, fourth master put his hands on his knees and resumed his sitting loose posture.

Ruoyin seemed to be used to fourth master's poisonous tongue, so he put away the medicine bottle, sat back in his original position, and kept a distance from him.

Then he asked casually: "Fourth Lord, is the errand entrusted to you by Huang Ama important?"

"It's okay, just take care of the mansion, don't think about those messy things, there is a master outside to support you." Fourth Master said calmly and bluntly.

"Oh." He always does this, which will give her a strong sense of security.

It seems that I am not afraid of the sky falling, and I have him to support me.

In the next few days, the palace is planning the funeral of Aunt Su Ma.

After the first lunar month, Aunt Su Ma's funeral was almost done.

In order to repay La Aunt Su Ma's kindness to him by "teaching the national book by hand and relying on him to train him" and raising the prince.

According to the etiquette of concubines, a funeral was held for Aunt Su Ma.

And ordered her coffin to be placed with Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang Wentai.

As for the princes, except Fifth Lord and Tenth Lord who are taking care of the Empress Dowager in the Forbidden City.

The rest of the adult princes all attended the funeral ceremony of Aunt Su Ma.

After the coffin stopped in the funeral palace, the princes planned to return home.

Kangxi was also preparing to leave for Beijing.

But at this moment, Elder Brother Twelve knelt on the ground and wept bitterly: "Aunt Huang, my aunt has raised me since I was a child, and I haven't repaid that, so that's it. I'm willing to stay for a few days and provide food within a hundred days." , Sanqi chanting."

The meaning of these words is that he will stay to guard the spirit of Lagu Su Ma.

In fact, logically speaking, although Lagu Su Ma was valued by Kangxi and the Queen Mother.

But after all, she was born as a servant, as she said herself, she is just a slave.

People with this status don't have the prince to provide food, and they don't have the ability to chant scriptures and keep vigil.

I saw that Kangxi had already boarded the dragon, looked down at the twelve elder brothers who were kneeling in front of him, and said: "Yinxuan's words are reasonable, everyone will do as he pleases."

After speaking, he rode the dragon back to Beijing.

All the princes stayed because of his words.

During the wake, Twelve Elder Brothers lived in the funeral palace, kept watch, offered meals, and chanted sutras for Lagu Su Ma.

The fourth master and the princes took turns to accompany the twelfth elder brother.

Here, the seven days of death are called "the first seven".

Then there will be "Twenty Seven" every seven days.

"37" to "77" or "Seventeen".

The folks believe that every seven days the dead have to pass through Yama, so monks and Taoists are invited to chant scriptures and burn the dead body, thinking of it as "exceeding".

And "37" will take 21 days.

By the time the vigil ended, it was already February.

The princes, who were still in high spirits, were all lacking in energy, with tiredness on their faces.

Brother Twelve's eyes were darkened, apart from exhaustion, there was a lingering sadness in his eyes.

Fourth master's face was faint, showing a little tiredness.

After he and his brothers bid farewell, they rode in the carriage and returned to the mansion like an arrow.

The family had already received news that fourth master would be back today.

So at this time, Ruoyin took a few people from the backyard and waited in front of the door early.

Li's eyeballs were staring straight at the end of the avenue in front of the mansion.

The same is true for Niu Colushi.

I haven't seen it for almost a month, and my eyes are almost piercing.

Wu's and Ning's status are low, standing at the end, they can only watch on their toes.

Ruoyin, as Fujin, stood at the front.

Today, she is wearing a lilac purple flag dress.

I put on a simple and elegant light makeup, which is refreshing.

There is always a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, which makes people feel happy.

Not long after, the sound of "tuk-tuk-tuk" horseshoes came to everyone's ears.

The next moment, a team of chariots and horses appeared in everyone's sight.

"Welcome fourth master back home, please rest assured." Ruoyin took the lead in saluting.

After the carriage stopped, fourth master landed on Xiao Dezi's back.

After glancing at everyone with mysterious cold eyes, he went straight to Ruoyin and helped her up himself.

"These days, the master is not at the house, thank you for your hard work."

Here, regardless of whether the main room is favored or not, it is generally the right room.

As long as the conflict is not too big, it is the rule to give more or less face.

After Ruoyin got up, he smiled back: "Whatever the Lord said, this is what I should do, isn't it what the Lord said, I'm in charge of the inside, and the Lord is in charge of the outside."

As she spoke, she looked up at the man.

With just one glance, she could tell that fourth master had lost some weight.

That handsome cheek that was originally sharp.

Now it seems that the facial features are more distinct, like sculptures.

Especially those mysterious and deep ink pupils, like a hole in the ice, which makes people sink deeply and cannot extricate themselves.

There was a little tiredness on his face, and he looked extremely tired.

Maybe because of the rush to come back, I didn't have time to take care of it.

On the cool and thin chin, there is still a little bit of stubble sticking out.

However, not only was there no trace of embarrassment.

On the contrary, the whole body exudes a haughty kingly aura.

Ruoyin couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Master, you've worked the hardest, and you've lost weight."

"The twelfth brother guards in front of my aunt's coffin day and night, that's really hard work, it's nothing to me." The fourth master said, let go of Ruoyin's hand, and strode into the mansion Walk.

Ruoyin followed quickly, "I see that Master is very tired, why don't you take a bath and burn incense first, so that you can rest for a while."

As soon as these words came out, all the women in the backyard cheered up.

Mrs. Li even walked beside Fourth Master, and said softly: "Master, Da Gege has been thinking about you these days."

Fourth Master: "..."

"Besides, I heard that when you return home today, you asked someone to make some snacks early in the morning." Li said again.

The meaning in her words was clearly inviting favor.

But fourth master gave a faint "hmm", and said to Ruoyin, "Ask someone to prepare water."

"Yes." After Ruoyin agreed, she glanced at Nanny Liu.

Seeing this, Grandma Liu took off her feet and rushed towards the main courtyard.

This blew up Mrs. Li.

She bit her cheek, eyes full of jealousy.

But she could only watch fourth master and Ruoyin go to the main courtyard, while she parted ways.

Niu Gulu's family, although they don't show it on the face, their eyes are red with jealousy.

After a while, Ruoyin returned to the main courtyard.

Grandma Liu had already prepared the water.

Then, as soon as the door was closed, there were only Ruoyin and fourth master in the room.

Fourth master spread his arms domineeringly, and let the woman serve him busy.

A pair of slightly lazy cold eyes, just calmly staring straight ahead.

When Ruoyin took care of fourth master to take a bath and was about to change his clothes, the man wrapped his arms around her waist......
