Chapter 519: Something is wrong
Chapter 519
As a big eunuch who has been in the palace for half his life and left with only a small injury, Gonggong Wei is definitely a good character who can bend and stretch, as soon as he saw Su Peisheng leading the little eunuch to come over to deliver medicine, and also took the lead in carrying things such as medicine bags and charcoal stoves, he hurriedly got up from the bed, slightly tidied up the muslin robe on his body and walked out of the door.
Back in the palace, Su Peisheng had to call him "grandpa" when he saw him!
I have to say that Father-in-law Wei and Su Peisheng are both noodle people, and the sedan chair carries people, even though Su Peisheng's current identity seems to be much more beautiful than Father-in-law Wei, he still laughed and shouted an old brother, and personally carried the small charcoal stove to the corner of the room and put it away, so he sent Lai Xi, who was waiting in the room, and the little eunuch who came with him, pulled Father-in-law Wei to sit on the two official hat chairs by the window, and talked privately.
"Brother Tuo called you brother, in the future, I need you to help me in this mansion. Father-in-law Wei smiled and gave a purse embroidered with gold silk and ruyi patterns, and said in a low voice.
Su Peisheng didn't expect that this father-in-law Wei, who looked not much better than a beggar, still had such a delicate thing in his hand, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but he soon understood, which of these old eunuchs who have been rolling in the palace for many years can not leave a coffin book, and these coffins have long been hidden in a place where no outsiders know, so even if Gonggong Wei leaves the palace with a broken burden, there are definitely not a few good things in his hand.
"Brother is so polite.
You can live in the mansion with peace of mind now, if you want to say which female owner in our mansion has the best temper, the one in the west courtyard is definitely the first, and the brother will still count on you to pull it in the future!" Su Peisheng waved his hand and said very modestly.
There was not the slightest hint of moisture in what he said about this.
With what he has watched and listened to in the mansion for so many years, the side Fujin - Guerjia master of the West Courtyard, treats the subordinates around him, not only gives generous rewards, but also treats people generously, and can follow the errand man, it is simply more reliable than buying insurance, it is definitely the kind of smooth passage that covers life and death.
Speaking of the side Fujin master in the West Courtyard, an embarrassed smile appeared on Gonggong Wei's face, and he whispered no: "That's also thanks to my brother who brought my brother into the mansion today, but my brother is a little confused, and he actually speaks ill of you, now that I think about it, I really can't help my brother." β
Su Peisheng is not a person who is unforgiving, especially when he knows that the other party has climbed the high branch, he is not a fool, he hurriedly turned sideways to avoid Grandpa Wei's courtesy, and said softly: "What my brother said is serious, our brother doesn't say this!" After speaking, he excused himself to go to the fourth master to reply, told him a few words to serve him carefully, and led the little eunuch who came with him to leave Grandpa Wei's room.
Father-in-law Wei sent Su Peisheng to the ear door of the study with him, and then he turned back to the house step by step.
"Father-in-law, you wash with water first, and the medicine will be fried immediately. As he spoke, he pointed to the small casserole that had been steaming on the side, smiled and put down the fan in his hand, but he didn't rush forward to serve, but walked to the wardrobe on the side, took out a complete set of plain muslin clothes from the cabinet from hats to shoes and socks, and sent them to the back of the screen.
"Yes. Seeing this, Father-in-law Wei responded lightly, and followed behind the screen to wash and change clothes.
Because of the injury on his wrist, he couldn't get wet, and Laixi had to take care of the soup boiling on the charcoal stove, so he couldn't wait in front of him all the time, so he simply wiped his body with the warm water in the basin, and changed into a bedgown to remove the smell of sweat on his body, and asked Laixi to remove all the other clothes, hats, shoes and socks.
Speaking of helplessness, in order to reassure the prince who hated him these days, even if he had taken all the good things he had stored outside before, he still made a depressed appearance, he didn't even eat a full meal, let alone sleep a single night, and he was worried all day long, for fear that the one who was ruthless would cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and directly wanted the life of his unlucky man.
Now that he is settled, he is really tired.
"Father-in-law, I went to the small kitchen to ask for hot water before, you should soak your feet and relieve your fatigue!" Lai Xi squatted beside the charcoal stove, although it was so hot that his head was full of sweat beads, but he did not forget his duty, and saw that Father-in-law Wei was very tired lying on the bed, and he was about to fall asleep, so he reminded softly.
Father-in-law Wei nodded without opening his eyes, made a nasal sound, and was silent for a few minutes, then rubbed his somewhat astringent eyes and sat up lazily, "The medicine is almost finished, right?"
Lai Xi was afraid that this Father-in-law Wei would be in a hurry, so he hurriedly explained softly: "I have to wait for a while, the little eunuch who followed Father-in-law Su said, and Imperial Doctor Hu specially explained that this medicine needs to be boiled over low heat, so it takes more work." β
After speaking, Lai Xi threw the pu fan in his hand to the ground, went to the back of the screen to prepare something for foot soaking, and only took a moment to carry a wooden basin soaked in foot soaking powder and filled with hot water, and came to the front of Wei Gonggong.
These things were specially sent by Su Peisheng.
Seeing that Laixi was still waiting for him to wash his feet, Gonggong Wei hurriedly waved his hand, pointed to the small casserole that had already smelled of medicine, and said lightly: "You go and decoct the medicine, I'll just come here myself." β
The medicinal powder for foot soaking sent by Su Peisheng was specially prepared by the government doctor, which was the most relieving fatigue, driving away cold and sleeping, and at the same time also alleviating a certain hidden disease of these eunuchs, enuresis.
Laixi's medicine over there was decoctioned, and Father-in-law Wei here also soaked his feet, and while wiping his feet with a handkerchief, he said to Laixi with a smile: "Born sweaty, this body is really much more refreshing." Then he took the basin and went out to pour water.
"Father-in-law, put this water first, just clean it up in a while, you can drink the medicine first!" Lai Xi hurriedly put down the small casserole in his hand, stopped Father-in-law Wei's movements, and said in a low voice.
When Gonggong Wei heard this, he didn't insist much.
After all, the injury on his wrist only scabbed, and he still needs to be carefully maintained, if there is no help from others, these things will be done by himself, and there is nothing to hinder, but since the fourth master is kind and benevolent, he has already arranged someone to take care of him, why should he be strong!
However, he has gone through the trough period, and he has a more understanding of the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and his temperament has also become much better, and he did not take it for granted because it was the arrangement of the fourth master, but he felt that Laixi, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, was very similar to him when he was young, and he was very close to him, and handed the muslin cloth handkerchief in the sleeve tube to Laixi, smiled and let him wipe his sweat, and then said slowly: "You go and clear the medicine first!"
I'll clean it up here later, so there's no need to rush. Then he sat back down on the bed, so as not to be in a hurry.
Laixi felt that Grandpa Wei treated him kindly, and he was not as nervous as before, so he was much more organized, first put the medicinal soup bowl in place, and then tested the temperature, and then sent it to Grandpa Wei, holding a wooden basin for washing his feet, turned around and left the room, and went to the small kitchen on the way, and came back with two plates of snacks and a pot of hot water.
"Father-in-law, you can eat something and then sleep!" said with a smile, cleaning up the water stains on the ground.
Although the dim sum that Lai Xi took back from the small kitchen was very ordinary, far less exquisite than the dim sum made in the palace, but looking at the honest smile on Lai Xi's face and the concern in his eyes, Grandpa Wei still felt that the dim sum in his mouth was as delicious as ginseng fruit, "Okay, after you clean up, let's rest on the low couch!"
Lai Xi Yanyan smiled and nodded.

At the same time, Erfu from the West Courtyard sent away Father-in-law Wei, seeing that the sun was just right outside, and he didn't continue to nest in the yard, and told Xiaowen to take the futon outside to dry, so he asked Yaoqin to choose a fifty-year-old wild ginseng from the library, and went straight to the main courtyard to visit the unwell-feeling Wulanala clan.
If you want to say that the disease of Ulanala came very suddenly.
Yesterday, when Erfu went to greet her, she didn't see any clues, but she fell ill overnight, which couldn't help but make Erfu feel a little strange, but Erfu didn't think about it, after all, the health of the Wulanala clan is not good, it is already a well-known thing in the whole circle, even the little palace maid who has just entered the mansion knows this, and when she comes and goes to the main courtyard, she always seems cautious, for fear of provoking this Fujin unhappy, causing her body to be uncomfortable and losing her life.
Erfu thought about her thoughts, and as soon as she walked to the door, she saw from a distance that Mama Fu was sending a woman with some eyes to the flower hall, and before she had time to see the truth, Qi Xiang, the big palace maid beside the Wulanala clan, hurriedly greeted her from the courtyard, bowed down and said, "Side Fujin, why are you here now!"
When Erfu heard the sound, he hurriedly retracted his attention, turned to look at Qi Xiang, raised his hand with a smile, motioned for Yaoqin to step forward and help Qi Xiang up, and said softly: "Hurry up and excuse me, I didn't hear Mama Fu say that Fu Jin's body is a little uncomfortable, so I thought about coming to see Sister Fu Jin, Fu Jin is awake at this time!"
Qi Xiang didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly sent a little palace maid to Tongyu, and said softly: "Fu Jin is worshipping Buddha in the small Buddha hall at this time, why don't you go to the side room with the slave maid to drink a cup of tea and rest your feet!"
After speaking, he raised his hand, intending to lead Erfu to the West Wing.
When Erfu heard this, she smiled and glanced at Qi Xiang, but she didn't think much about it, so she followed Qi Xiang to the west wing, but she didn't want Qi Xiang to leave as soon as she left, Yaoqin took advantage of the palace maid's tea, looked around like a thief, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "The slave maid just saw it clearly, the master of Fujin is clearly sitting in the hall, how can Qi Xiang say that the master of Fujin is worshipping the Buddha, master, don't you think it's a little strange?"
After speaking, Yaoqin looked at the palace maid guarding the courtyard as if she had pointed out.
Erfu followed her gaze, and sure enough, she found something strange, such as the common palace maids in the past, all of whom had been replaced with new faces, and all of them had a straight face, as if someone else owed them much money.
Not only that, but between these eye-born palace maids, there is no movement to even talk to each other, which is obviously a bit abnormal, after all, this is a very boring thing to be an errand under the corridor, if there is no master in front of them, they will usually make some small movements to distract their attention.
I didn't notice it and didn't think that after listening to Yaoqin at this time, Erfu also noticed that something was wrong, and secretly had an ominous premonition, but she really couldn't think of what chaos would happen in the main courtyard, after all, the Wulanala clan's means of control were much more clever than her.
Erfu's biggest advantage is that he can't figure out things, and he will definitely not be entangled too much, so he quickly made a decision, smiled and looked at Yaoqin and Guzheng, who were like facing a great enemy, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, leave the things behind for a while, and we will go back, even if there is anything, it will not implicate us." β
After speaking, he motioned for Yaoqin and Guzheng to stand behind him, so as not to cause a bad misunderstanding caused by others.
Yaoqin also knew that this was not the place to speak, and Qi Xiang's figure had already faintly appeared at the corner of the cloister, so she hurriedly pulled the guzheng that was still talking, retreated behind Erfu, and stood still with her head down.
At the same time, Erfu also restrained the excess expression on her face, fiddling with her fingers as if nothing happened, waiting for Qixiang to come over.
As soon as Qi Xiang entered the door, she looked left and right, and saw that everything seemed to be as usual, so she came to Erfu's side with a smile, and said on her knees: "Side Fujin, I'm sorry for you to wait a little longer, our master has already done his homework, and is waiting for you to come over and talk!"
"Well, then let's go over!" Erfu glanced at Yaoqin with a smile, motioned for her to take her things, got up and followed Qixiang to the upper room.
In the upper room, as usual, except for a faint smell of blood.
However, Erfu didn't feel that there was anything wrong, after all, the Ulanala clan was also a woman, and it was common for the eldest aunt to attack.
"Why are you here now, don't hear any rumors!"
After Erfu saluted as usual, she sat aside, and was just about to speak, when she was shocked by what the Ulanala clan said, and hurriedly looked up, the Ulanala clan, who had always been close to her, actually stared at her with a dark face at this time, her eyes were full of anger, as if she was very displeased with her, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised on the spot, and asked in a puzzled low voice: "Fujin, what are you talking about, the concubine just heard that you were a little uncomfortable, so she came to visit." After speaking, she also took the brocade box in Yaoqin's hand, and handed the old ginseng with all the roots to the eyes of the Wulanala clan to confirm her simple intentions, and definitely not to have any delusions in her mind to listen to the news.
But even so, Erfu still regretted it a little in her heart, she knew that there would be such a scene, she might as well honestly nest in the yard and read the notebook, why bother to come here to find guilt, and at the same time clearly realized that her friendship with the Ulanala clan was really a scum project that would be broken at the slightest touch, and it could not withstand any test at all.
Thinking of this, she sighed in her heart and pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly, sure enough, she was too naΓ―ve.
