Chapter 700: Pretending to be Sick

Chapter 700

The wind is light and the clouds are light, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was a very ordinary night, and it was a very different night.

Erfu, who counted a part of her body in the warehouse during the day, had a hearty dinner with Xiao Qi, who had slept for most of the day, and was pestered by Xiao Qi, who slept too much and insomnia during the day, and told seven or eight fairy tales, which put Xiao Qi to sleep, but she herself lost sleep without warning because she missed the sleepiness.

She grabbed the fluffy brocade quilt with both hands, rolled it over and over on the bed a few times, and finally sighed helplessly, turned over and sat up.

"Pop!" Erph skillfully pulled out the brocade box containing the night pearl from under the pillow, and the faint fluorescence like moonlight dispelled the darkness in the bed curtain, and casually placed the title deeds that had been stuffed back into the dark compartment in front of him.

The happiest thing in life is counting money and getting cramps in your hands.

But now Erf feels that this happiness is also a kind of sweet distress, as a modern person, she can deposit a lot of money in the bank, and live a prosperous and stable life, but in the backward era of the ancient law can not protect everyone, she herself is a weak woman who is powerless, if she appears in a strange environment with a large amount of money, the danger factor is simply looking for death.

She was thinking about how to seek protection as if she had gotten into the tip of a bull's horn, but she forgot that a person's biggest backer was herself, and at the moment when the brilliance of the night pearl was dispelled and concealed, she suddenly had a hint of realization, that is, if she wanted to leave the Fourth Master's Mansion, she had to become strong herself.

Only by becoming stronger can she keep this family property that is enough to make anyone blush.

Only by becoming stronger can she ensure that she and Xiao Qi will leave and will not end up in a life worse than death.

Only by becoming stronger can she have the confidence to leave the Fourth Master's Mansion.

In the final analysis, she suddenly understood Bai Jiao's idea of dissuading her from leaving rashly, what she thought before was really too naïve, a person who has no ability to protect herself, even if she spends a lot of money to invite nursing homes and family members to protect herself and Xiao Qi, but how to ensure that these nursing homes and family members will not be wolves in sheep's clothing!

It's just that the body she inherited when she crossed over is a girl raised in the deep boudoir, there is no peerless martial arts that pick leaves and flying flowers, come and go, and there is no mysterious space treasure, how easy is it to become powerful?

For a moment, Erf even thought about whether to just hold back!

Maybe after being grounded by the fourth master for half a year, there are other women around the fourth master, and the rivals and opponents who used to stare at her like wolves and tigers will let her go, and she who has lost her grace and heirs, may be able to live a stable life in the fourth master's mansion!

Of course, this idea was abandoned by Erf in the blink of an eye.

As the saying goes, it is better to settle grievances than to settle them, but there are a few people in the world who can really give up grievances and hatreds while talking and laughing, at least she can't forget to investigate the cause of death of Hongxuan, Jiu'er, and Xiaojiu, and she must avenge this revenge!

Even if she is such a weak coward as the extreme, she can't take a step back, how can she ask other women to let her go, the former favorite concubine, and how can she watch the enemy who killed her child live a prosperous life, so she can't stay in the fourth master's mansion.

If she wants to become stronger, she needs a healthy physique and strong force value, and she doesn't want to be able to train to be a peerless master with one enemy and one hundred, she needs a quieter place to practice marksmanship.

Yes, that's the path Erf chose!

She needs a means to protect herself, and she knows her weak chicken physique, and she also knows that she will definitely not be able to endure the hardships of practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, and she will not practice kung fu for so long, so she chose a shortcut.

The musket, this kind of thermal weapon, has actually appeared in the eyes of the Chinese people for a long time.

Erfu, a little girl who has never cared about the history of weapon development, doesn't know if it's because of the shortcomings in the design, or because of the backwardness of the forging technology in this era, the current musket range can't even compare with the ordinary bows and arrows that are standard in the Eight Banners Army, and it's no wonder that it won't be valued by the superiors, and it has not been able to become the standard in the army, but as a modern person, she understands the spear, The short sword is a cold weapon that will definitely be eliminated by the times, and people are made of meat, and they will never be able to resist the musket, which now seems to be a firearm that is not very lethal, she practices marksmanship not to kill the enemy, but only to protect herself, so she doesn't need to worry about too many things, or what she needs is an object that can deter the murderer.

Grounded in the West Courtyard, she wants to get out of the house, and she has to think about it.

Erfu, who couldn't sleep left and right, put the night pearl back in the brocade box and put it away, smeared and secretly opened the bed curtain, she didn't let people go to the night in the room, but there were little eunuchs under the corridor to go to the night, several little eunuchs were new faces, she wasn't sure who those people were, so her every move had to be extremely cautious, she sat on the bed, one eye was close to the gap that was opened, and secretly looked at the movement outside, until her eyes adapted to the glimmer of the moonlight, then she got up from the bed and came to the corner between the wardrobe and the bed。

The six-door wardrobe that is more than one person tall is made of thick solid wood, which is a limited edition produced by Xuancai Fang and not sold to the public.

The firebolt is a new thing, many people have heard of it, but few people have seen it.

On the market, it is even more of a thing that has nowhere to find, let's say that the pair of firearms that Bai Jiao found for her in Erfu's hand are all rare things that were bought from the foreign adults who studied firearms formed by the old man Kangxi, and they are definitely the pinnacle of firearms in this era, but compared to the machine guns and sniper rifles that Erf saw in the TV series in the later generations, they are not half a star, but something is better than nothing, so when Erfu knew that Bai Jiao had found two firearms, he ordered Bai Jiao to find a way to bring the firearms into the mansion.

This thing doesn't even know about the fourth master, otherwise the fourth master would probably have sent Erfu out of sight a long time ago, after all, no one wants to have such a dangerous woman by his side.

The firecracker was secretly sent in the secret compartment of the wardrobe as early as the beginning of the renovation project of the West Courtyard, and if it hadn't forced Erfu to a certain point, she would have forgotten about this thing completely, after all, she had prepared this thing just in case, and she never thought that she would actually use it.

"Wow, that's a bit weighty. The first time he touched the gun, Erf's little heart jumped a few times, as if to vent the tension in his heart, and then raised his hand to make an aiming motion.

Unlike modern guns that value practicality, the guns of this era are like finely carved works of art, and Erf rubbed the complicated lines on the handle of the gun in his hand, shook his head speechlessly, and then stuffed the gun back into the dark compartment and lay back on the bed.

Good marksmanship is fed with bullets.

She didn't have that many bullets in stock, and she brought in more than two dozen bullets with two muskets, and there was no silencer, so she could only take a look at it, but she finally had an idea, which was better than having no idea before.

That's it, I touched the gun and had an idea......

Erph's heart, which had been fluctuating, could be regarded as rooted.

Before, the sleepy insect that had been hiding in the dark finally appeared again, and she fell asleep in a daze, but she was still thinking about how to let the fourth master send her to Zhuangzi, and it was best to send her to her own Zhuangzi, so that she could gain a certain degree of freedom, and there would be room to practice guns。

I don't know whether to say that God finally saw her little pitiful, or whether to lament that her physique is too weak, but when she got up and tossed around at night, Erfu had some nasal congestion, and she sat in front of the dressing table, and before she straightened out her long hair, she had already sneezed a few times in a row, making her already not good face even more ugly.

Yaoqin, who was in charge of combing her hair, finally mustered up the courage when Erfu sneezed for the third time, and asked with concern: "Master, the slave doesn't seem to be very good when she looks at you, why don't you invite Doctor Hu to come and take a look for you!"

Don't look at it is the end of summer, the weather in the daytime, it is still so hot and stuffy, but it is much cooler in the morning and evening, so if you are not careful, you will catch a cold, in ancient times when medicine was not developed, wind and cold are fatal, especially Erfu has been sick and has no spirit recently, and she refuses to let Imperial Doctor Hu come to check her pulse, Yaoqin's little heart has already mentioned her throat and eyes, and even wonders if Erfu is planning to stay up like this, playing the set of mourning is more than heart death.

Before, no matter how sick Erf looked, at least there was no superficial symptom, Yaoqin could still let it go, but now that Erfu had begun to sneeze, she couldn't pretend to be blind anymore, thinking to herself: If Erfu still refuses to let Dr. Hu come over to see her, she will have to make her own opinion.

But this time, Erfu nodded silently as soon as she opened her mouth, and agreed to her suggestion, "I'm grounded, and Imperial Physician Hu hasn't come to the mansion to ask for peace for me, so it's time for Imperial Physician Hu to come over and take a closer look for me!"

After speaking, she sneezed again, this time the sneeze was even more serious, as if she was infected with nasal sensitivity, the fight was not over, this hair was completely combed, she pulled the handkerchief and blocked her nose, and waved her hand again and again to urge Yaoqin to ask the doctor to pull her shoes, and then lay back on the bed, wrapped in clothes and rolled back into the quilt, only revealing a small face the size of a palm, not to mention how haggard she looked.

Yaoqin didn't dare to delay any longer, and while opening the doors and windows to ventilate and ventilate, so as not to make Erfu's symptoms more serious, she explained that the girl was waiting carefully by Erfu's side, and hurried out of the room.

"Master, Yaoqin has gone far!" The girl who was called by Yaoqin to the bedside to serve Erfu, took water as Yaoqin walked out of the door, extinguished the incense burner by the window, and at the same time threw the unburned spices in it into the gong bucket in the clean room, and then returned to Erfu's side, took the wet veil, and handed it to Erfu, who was sneezing repeatedly.

It turned out that when she got up early, Ya'er was the first to come to Erfu's room to serve.

Erfu also found that she had some nasal congestion, her throat was also a little hoarse and uncomfortable, and she had the symptoms of a cold, but it was far less serious than what Yaoqin saw, in order to leave the Fourth Master's Mansion and go to Zhuangzi smoothly, she thought of the box of fragrant spices in her cabinet.

This box of spices is a caravan under Bai Jiao from foreign countries to sell French goods, very fragrant, very popular with the ladies in Beijing, mostly used to smoke clothes, smoke the room, but are placed in the wardrobe and the corner of the room, and do not burn, so although the taste is very fragrant, but within the acceptable range, it will not let others smell pungent, but it is such a good thing, I don't know what mess is mixed with, Erfu every time he drinks and feasts with the ladies of various houses, When listening to the music, she inadvertently smelled the smell of tears and snot flowing together, at the beginning, she only thought it was a nasal sensitivity, and only brought a sachet with her to smoke it, but she did not lose face to go outside.

But then this thing was treated as a rarity by Bai Jiao and sent to her, and she didn't know how to burn it as an ordinary spice, so the result was how miserable it was, and she sneezed for two days, this happened before Yaoqin entered the house, and it was a trivial matter of sesame mung beans, so Yaoqin didn't know the existence of this box of spices.

When she got up early this morning, Erfu remembered the box of spices that made her extremely miserable when she had some symptoms of a cold, and ordered her to grind it, mixed it with the spices she used on weekdays, and she sneezed as if she had been pressed a switch, and there was the scene where Yaoqin rushed to find the imperial doctor.

Regarding Yaoqin's concern, Erfu pursed her lips slightly apologetically.

It's not that she doesn't want to tell Yaoqin the truth, it's that she is afraid that Yaoqin will tell Su Peisheng about it, although she doesn't distrust Yaoqin anymore, but she always feels that Yaoqin seems to be more loyal to the fourth master between her and the fourth master.

"After a while, Yaoqin will come back and ask about spices, you should know how to answer!" Erfu twisted the wet veil, wiped her nose fiercely, and finally stopped sneezing, but looked at the incense burner by the window with some anxiety, and said to Ya'er.

"The slave understands.

The master was not feeling well, and he kept sneezing, and the slave thought that although incense was a graceful thing, but there was some smoke, she put out the unburned spices in the incense burner. Ya'er smiled and nodded, and said seriously.

Erfu nodded reassuringly, and asked Ya'er to remove the carpet in the room, sprinkle some water on the ground, and make a state of reducing dust, so as not to attract attention from the extinguished incense burner as soon as Yaoqin entered the door, she asked Ya'er to arrange all this, Yaoqin had successfully completed the matter of inviting the imperial doctor, and returned to Erfu's side to serve, and waited for more than half an hour, and the imperial physician Hu, who was dressed in an official robe, was escorted by Su Peisheng and came to the west courtyard.
