Chapter 230: The Plague
About an hour later, the imperial doctor and the imperial doctor who came to treat the fourth master left the room one after another, their faces were gloomy, and it made people feel uneasy when they looked at it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the master is still in a coma, it is better to ask a few masters to go back to the room to rest, and when the master wakes up, the minions will let people invite the masters over!" Su Peisheng and Zhang Bao discussed a few words in a low voice, and then stepped forward together and whispered to Erfu and the others.
"What you said is really a bit unreasonable, the master is sick now, naturally he needs someone to take care of him, we are the woman, we should be by his side at this time!"
Su Peisheng knew that these women would not listen to them well, and glanced at Zhang Bao with a wry smile, as if he wanted Zhang Bao to have an idea.
Zhang Bao was more confident than Su Peisheng in the end, looked at Li's somewhat smug face, and said coldly: "If a few masters want to take care of the master, we will definitely not object, but the master's illness this time is extraordinary, I am afraid that he will be infected with the epidemic."
Let's not let a few masters stay, that's also for the good of all masters, but a few masters insist, then we naturally won't object. ”
"What do you say?" Li Shi's voice trembled a little, and he even stepped back, grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, looked nervously at the main room with the door closed, and whispered.
Zhang Bao sneered in his heart, and had already made up his mind to wait for the fourth master to wake up. Give a small report to this Li family, who is afraid of death and loves to watch Xiàn.
"That's right, a few days ago, there were several cases of epidemic in this hot river, and the guards near the palace also fell ill a lot. The master is afraid that he will suddenly fall ill if he inadvertently comes into contact with the sick guard. Su Peisheng hurriedly said, for fear that this Li family would rush in without knowing whether to live or die.
It's just that Su Peisheng is really a little worried, not only the Li family has retreated, but even the Niu Hulu clan and Dong E's clan, who want to show themselves well, have retreated, which reveals Erfu, who was originally standing behind.
But at this time, Erf was in no mood to scold these women for their ruthlessness and unrighteousness. Looking at the main room with the doors and windows closed, he asked with a little worry: "I don't know if the imperial doctor and the imperial doctor can study a prescription for treating the epidemic?"
"Back to the master's words, because this time the epidemic is different from the past. The original recipe had no effect on the epidemic this time, and although the doctors had worked hard to study it, they had little effect in the end. Zhang Bao suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for the master to favor the Guerjia clan, among the few women present. Only this person, who usually seems a little confused, asked a more reliable question. Whispered back.
"How is this good, the epidemic is a fatal thing at this time!" Li muttered in fear, grabbed Su Peisheng with a pair of hands, regardless of the difference between men and women, and said sharply, "Did the imperial doctor say the ......method of prevention when he left?"
"There is naturally a way to prevent it, and the slaves will let people send the medicinal materials to the masters later, and the imperial doctor will also let the masters and subordinates see them one by one, and they will also arrange for people to pack some bags. Let all the masters return to Beijing with the holy driver!" Zhang Bao was extremely impatient with Li's greed for life and fear of death, and his whole face was black at this moment. Quite a bit of the style of the fourth master.
When Li heard that he would be able to return to Beijing soon, he breathed a sigh of relief, and as if he was a little jealous of the women who could return to Beijing early, he whispered: "It's all those shameless hooves, if it weren't for their fox strength, how could they make the master like this!"
Originally, Zhang Bao was still a little patient with the Li family, but when he heard the Li family's words at this time, he really wanted to beat someone, and coldly ordered the little eunuchs to send the masters back to the room.
Erfu returned to Rongyue Pavilion, standing under the turquoise blue sky with a sad expression, silently counting an unknown little flower pinched in his hand, as if comforting himself with the decision: if the petals are singular, stay, if it is even, go back to Beijing, after all, without Niang's Xiaoqi and Hongxuan, the future will definitely not be satisfactory.
I don't know if God intended to play Erfu, she counted three times, and every time she was even, but she was still a little reluctant to let Erfu leave the fourth master alone in Rehe.
Although Zhang Bao and others did not explicitly say that they would leave the fourth master in Rehe, Erfu remembered that the fourth master had suffered from an epidemic in history, and it was said that it was Concubine Xi Niu Hulu's clothes who were waiting for her, so that she turned the corner.
Concubine Xi Niu Hulu was able to survive the epidemic with the fourth master unharmed, but Erfu didn't think she had such a ability, but in the end, it was her beloved who was sick and let her go back to Beijing like this, she really couldn't do it, even if she knew that the fourth master could survive the epidemic.
"Someone, go and ask Zhang Bao to come over!" Erfu seemed to have made some kind of decision, his hands clenched into fists tightly, he felt the stinging pain in his palms, and shouted in a deep voice.
Yuhua was arranging Erfu's robe next to her, and suddenly heard Erfu's command, and was a little stunned.
However, Yu Han, who took over Yu Bing's work, hurriedly put a plate of chilled watermelon in front of Erfu's eyes, answered in a low voice, and ran out.
"Master, please ask Grandpa Zhang to come over at this time, I'm afraid there will be something wrong!" Yuhua thought that Erfu wanted to return to Beijing now, for fear that Erfu's behavior of being too afraid of death would reach the ears of the fourth master, and said softly.
"It's okay, you go down first, I want to make a good total. Erfu pinched her eyebrows, suppressed the chaotic speculation in her head, waved her hand impatiently, and sent away Yuhua, who was going to continue.
After a while, Yuhan had already brought Zhang Bao, who was still black-faced, over.
"Zhang Bao, sit down!" Erfu saw that Zhang Bao was about to salute and say goodbye, and said loudly.
At the same time, he also withdrew Yuhan, who was standing next to him, poured a cup of tea for Zhang Bao, pointed to the embroidery pier opposite, and motioned for Zhang Bao to sit down.
Zhang Bao was not polite, and sat opposite in a regular manner.
"I don't know if the master of Guerjia called the slave to come at this time, but what are the orders?" Zhang Bao suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said in a deep voice.
Erph smiled and took a sip of tea. "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask how the master's body is, and I also want to ask the emperor how he plans to arrange the master. After all, I heard you say that the holy car seems to have the intention of returning to Beijing, and the master seems to have contracted the epidemic, I'm afraid I can't stand the fatigue of the boat and horses on this way!!"
Zhang Bao was silent for a moment, staring at Erfu's face with a pair of eyes, as if he wanted to see what Erfu meant, then he slowly picked up the tea bowl in front of him and said in a low voice: "What the master said is good." Although the master's body has a good foundation, he fell into a coma because he was not discovered in time. Not to mention that the boat and horses on this road can't stand it, even if the master can survive, the saint has no intention of letting the master return to Beijing together, after all, the danger of the epidemic at this time. The big guys know it.
So the emperor has already given an order. Leave the master and the sick guards and slaves in Rehe for treatment, and then return to Beijing after he is well. ”
Sure enough, the son of a daughter can't sit down, is Kangxi Ye ready to leave his not very favored and sick son here to fend for himself, Erfu sneered at the emperor in his heart, but his face did not show anything, but he seemed to have some praise and praise: "The emperor is still thoughtful, after all, the epidemic is a major event at this time, if it is introduced to the capital." That would be a disaster.
Well, since the master won't go back. Then I should naturally stay here, after all, you can't be left unattended by your side, although you people are dedicated to you, but in the end you are not as careful as women. ”
"Master, you ......" Zhang Bao was a little surprised by Erfu's decision, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Intellectually speaking, he should persuade the Guerjia master to return to Beijing, but emotionally speaking, he felt that the Guerjia master's decision was right.
Erfu didn't consider Zhang Bao's mental activities, but mentioned Hongxuan and Xiaoqi.
She was indeed reluctant to let the fourth master recuperate alone outside, but she didn't want her children to be in danger, and planned to let Hongxuan and Xiaoqi return to Beijing with the team, but considering the women in the house who ate people and didn't spit out bones, she called Zhang Bao to come over to discuss.
Although there is a big grandmother in Beijing, but the big mother is a slave in the end, I am afraid that she will be a little powerless, and Zhang Bao is different, he is a person next to the fourth master, his words are listened to, and there are some forces under him. Entrusting a pair of children to Zhang Bao, she can feel more at ease.
The matter of Zhang Bao's entry into Rongyue Pavilion for half an hour quickly spread. The Li family, Niu Hulu family, and Dong E clan secretly scolded Guargarfu for being too a chicken thief, and they actually thought of asking Zhang Bao to help, and they all arranged for maids to invite people, and even stuffed up silver, just to be able to return to Beijing earlier, and to get more medicinal materials to prevent the epidemic.
It's just that Erfu invited Zhang Bao to stay in Rehe, so Zhang Bao, a loyal servant of the Lord, was willing to talk to her more, but these people who wanted to return to Beijing with silver stuffed with silver, Zhang Bao didn't want to see him in his heart, although he didn't show it on his face, but in the end he just sat down slightly and left.
Early the next morning, the holy driver hurried back to Beijing, leaving the fourth master alone to recuperate in Rehe.
Zhang Bao arranged for his reliable people to escort Hongxuan and Xiao Qi back to Beijing with the rest of the Fourth Master's Mansion, while he himself stayed with the Fourth Master, and Su Peisheng and Erfu also left, plus six or seven little eunuchs who wanted to go back but couldn't.
Erfu also asked the four big girls around her what they thought, and asked Yulan and Yuhua to return to Beijing with Hongxuan and Xiaoqi, leaving Yujie and Yuhan to serve.
"Master, are you really not going back?" beside the carriage, Erfu was wearing a Su cyan shirt with a simple haircomb, and reluctantly sent Hongxuan and Xiaoqi to the carriage, and harvested a few eyes that felt that she Guargarf was a fool, and even Yulan asked a little uneasily.
"If I don't go back, I don't want my master to be here alone, if I really can't go back this time, you have to take good care of Hongxuan and Xiaoqi, so that they can grow up peacefully!" Erfu smiled a little bitterly, wiped the sweat beads from Xiao Baozi's face, and said as if he had confessed his last words.
"Master......" Yuhua and Yulan choked up.
"Don't cry, so as not to scare Xiao Qi and Hongxuan!" Erfu said in a deep voice, casually lowering the curtain of the car, for fear that the two little buns would think too much.
Half an hour later, Erfu stood at the gate, watching Hongxuan and Xiao Qi's car leave, only then wiped the tears on his face that he didn't know when, and walked towards Songtao Garden with a determined face.
The fourth master still didn't wake up, the whole person was babbling in a daze, his lips that were tightly pursed on weekdays were a little pale, and his face was sallow and scary.
"Master, go back quickly, this is a life-threatening disease!" Although Zhang Bao admired Erfu's courage to stay, he didn't want Erfu to be infected with the epidemic like this, seeing that Erfu had already stretched out his hand to the face of the fourth master, he hurriedly said.
"It's okay, you asked someone to bring all my luggage to Songtao Garden.
From now on, I will be by my side, and I will treat all the guards who are also infected with the epidemic, and we must not let them die casually, those are all good seedlings for my lord!" said in a cold voice with a face full of determination and coldness in a homemade mask.
Erfu's words were a little ruthless, but at this time, she had to have no conscience, she wanted the fourth master to live, even if she was burdened with a blood debt.
Zhang Bao and others, who were also wearing masks made by Erfu last night, naturally would not argue with Erfu for so many guards, and besides, they also planned to do so.
Erfu also asked people to light the stove for boiling water in the small kitchen at the back, sprinkled a pot of boiling water with vinegar on the entire Songtao Garden for disinfection, and removed the light gauze curtains and other objects in the room, and even brought large pieces of furniture such as wardrobes, square tables, and Taishi chairs to Yuhan and Yujie to take a rag and use boiling water mixed with vinegar to cool and scrub it several times.
Under the scorching sun, the water vapor evaporated, making the yard full of vinegar and astringency that was always a pine fragrance in the past, and in addition, people opened the originally closed doors and windows, and saw that the ground outside was completely dry, which made people dry the whole set of bedding outside for disinfection.
All day, Erfu can be said to be so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, although he did not do anything with his own hands, but in the end, he bothered to toss, and made him sweat, and waited for the imperial doctor to check the pulse of the fourth master, so that people sent hot water in, and after waiting for the fourth master to wash, he walked behind the screen to wash.
"Master, go back to the room to rest, you are here, the master can't see it, and there are Su Peisheng and them guarding at night!" Yuhan handed the tea bowl to Erfu and persuaded softly.
Erfu shook his head slightly, and said to himself: "I don't want Ye to see me here, I just want him to know that someone is with him."
Su Peisheng took care of them with all their hearts, but they were only minions. What I said may be a little ugly, but if the fourth master wakes up and sees only these minions around him, he will inevitably be a little sad.
And I'm my grandfather's relative, even if I don't do anything, I just sit here with him, he will feel not alone!"
People who are sick are always sensitive and fragile, and the fourth master, a child who has been handed over to Queen Tong Jia by Concubine De since he was a child, is even more so, Erfu can't bear to be alone in the fourth master's illness.
As she spoke, Erfu had already moistened her lips with a cotton swab dipped in water for the fourth master, which made Yujie feel a little distressed when she looked at it, but she also knew that she couldn't persuade Erfu, so she could only helplessly spread her hands to Su Peisheng, who was frowning outside. (To be continued......)
