Chapter 720: Grasping Zhang Bao 2

readx;? Chapter 720

Zhang Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sneaked a peek at Erfu's face, and asked, "I don't know if there is anything missing from the minions' preparations, and the minions immediately ask someone to go back to the house to get it." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Not really, it's just that a piece of cut material is dirty.

To tell the truth, if this material is something else, I will let people lose it, those pieces of material are specially cut for Xiao Qi and Hongxuan when I was in Shengjing, Hongxuan and they are gone, this material can no longer be used, but for me, it is also a kind of commemoration, and now it is stained......"

At the end, Elder sighed sadly.

When Zhang Bao heard this, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, this matter is really not big, but it is just a few pieces of material, but it involves several little masters who have passed away, no wonder this good-tempered side Fujin will be so gaffe.

As a sigh fell, the air in the room froze.

Just when Zhang Bao thought that Erfu was waiting for him to answer, Erfu sneered, raised his hand and flicked the gilded beaded armor, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a hateful voice: "In addition, I also want to ask, this material is something that I specially ordered Yaoqin to receive from the library, and deliberately pressed it underneath, if you don't look for it deliberately, I'm afraid that no one will be able to turn this material out in a few decades."

Why did you just turn this material out and bring it to Zhuangzi!" After saying that, she slapped the corner table heavily, in order to match the threatening posture she put on, and gave Zhang Bao a heavier blow.

Zhang Bao fell with a thud and slipped to the ground again.

He is definitely because when he was Chinese New Year's Eve, he didn't wear a red belt that means auspiciousness, so he committed Tai Sui, and he hasn't had a day to kill since the New Year, and now he has to carry such a big black pot......

Thinking of this, a suspicious red appeared in his deep eye sockets.

"Side Fu Jin Mingjian, the slave really doesn't know, the clothes and jewelry are all packed by Miss Qingdai herself. Zhang Bao said that this pot was too heavy, and he really couldn't carry it, especially when he was grabbed by Erfu's pigtails, and immediately explained to the big palace maid Qingdai who was left behind in the West Courtyard.

Erf was really shocked by this answer.

She really didn't expect that it was Qingdai who stuffed these pieces of material into the luggage that Zhang Bao brought to Zhuangzi, after all, Zhang Bao, an outsider, probably didn't know the origin of these materials, but she accompanied her to Shengjing to reflect on her own Qingdai, and accompanied her to Nishang Pavilion to personally select the materials Qingdai, she would definitely be able to recognize these pieces of materials as her sad things, and she knew more about the whole process of these materials being thrown to Yaoqin as soon as they were delivered to her, how could Qingdai make such a reckless arrangement!

In Erf's memory, Qingdai has always been a cold personality who doesn't care about herself, hanging high, except for when she is on an errand, most of the time she is nested in her own small room, and she doesn't see anyone getting closer, and she doesn't get involved in the chaos of the house.

Thinking of this, Erfu nodded to Zhang Bao who was kneeling on the ground, and then said: "Then bother Zhang Bao's father-in-law to arrange someone to go to the mansion, let Qingdai's girl come to Zhuangzi to be my companion, and as for the affairs of the West Courtyard, I will leave it to the two big palace maids who came from Shengjing to keep an eye on it." ”

After speaking, she glanced at Yaoqin again, and motioned Yaoqin to follow the person arranged by Zhang Bao to run, with Yaoqin such a first-class palace maid to follow, it can also avoid someone from getting in the way, and after explaining these things in detail, she looked at the warm sunshine outside the window, showed a wry smile, slowly got up, crossed Zhang Bao, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and returned to the inner courtyard with Ya'er with a lonely expression.

Erfu was anxious to know the puzzles in those materials, and she would not let people send the materials back to Beijing to reprint and dye, and she was more afraid that something would go wrong on the way, so as soon as she returned to the upper room of the inner courtyard, she ordered Ya'er to close the doors and windows, and go to the study in the west room to study ink, and she took out the few pieces of materials that had been put away again, turned around and went into the clean room, took out a copper basin filled with clean water, and waited for Ya'er to grind the ink to replace the dye for dyeing, so she reprinted and dyed the materials she was holding in her arms so simply and roughly.

After a while, the inkstone pond was filled with thick ink, exuding a faint fragrance of ink.

Erfu took a deep breath, patted Ya'er's wrist, which had been pinching the ink block, motioned for her to stop, carefully held the inkstone stacked with lotus leaves, came to the handwashing rack that had been moved to the hall, and poured the ink from an inkstone into the clear water.

"...... Uproar"

In order to make the color more intense, Erfu also poured the blue and white eyebrow powder on her dressing table, and mixed it with a plain silver hairpin little by little, and then pressed a piece of plain white Juanpa into this pot of strangely colored water.

In the blink of an eye, the snow-white juanpa embroidered with red plum was dyed with a hint of blue ink.

"This color is almost ready to use!" said Erph, muttering to herself, taking the smallest piece of material and pressing it into the basin, until the black water had overflowed the piece, and she was relieved to see the light purple material gradually change color.

To put it bluntly, don't look at her every step from beginning to end so decisively, but she doesn't have much confidence in her heart, for fear that something will go wrong and ruin the material that may have a big secret.

Seeing the light purple material, the color changed slightly, only the middle piece, soaked for a long time, still did not change at all, she only pinched the position of the material that had not changed color with three fingers, and took out the material that could not see the original color, and soaked it in the water basin prepared by the girl on the side.

Then it's time to witness the miracle.

Thinking to herself, Erf turned her head to see the wide-eyed girl, and hurriedly waved her hand to drive out the girl who had been standing beside her.

She had a hunch that the secret of this material was very big, and she didn't want others to know it.

The door of the hall was closed again.

Erf, who was left alone in the room, looked nervously at the piece of material that was gradually washed away in the clear water, and finally before the material completely changed back to its original color, she gritted her teeth and reached out to throw the piece of material on the dry cloth handkerchief that had been prepared in front of her, and gently spread it out and put it away.

The material, which was no longer visible in its original color, showed a few traces of lilac. "What the hell is this, could it really be a coincidence!" Looking at the completely indistinguishable traces, the little flame of hope in Erph's heart was extinguished as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it, and she threw the material on the ground in a little annoyance, stepped on it a few times, roared angrily, and pressed the other pieces of material into the basin of black ink water.

Hope, disappointment, hope, disappointment......

Seeing that the basin of water that should have been crystal clear was about to turn black, Erfu, who had experienced several disappointments, had a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, she was so whimsical, thinking that the young Hongxuan would escape the black hand arranged by the Niu Hulu clan, thinking that he had just not been able to return to her for the time being, in fact, it was just her wishful thinking.

But even so, her heart was crushed into fine powder by disappointment, and she did not give up her last hope.

The last piece of material in the ink water, looking at the shape, should be a piece of placket, looking at the size, it should be the fourth master's, this is definitely the largest piece of these materials, and it is also impregnated with more ink water.

This was her last hope.

Erfu didn't care if his hands and clothes would be stained by the ink, so he raised his hand and took out the material, rinsed it casually in the basin of dirty water, and brought the strangely colored material to his eyes.

There is no endless road.

Just when Elof thought everything was her beautiful fantasy, she saw it clearly.

In the place of this piece of material, the light purple blank space that was not dyed with ink was actually a few words written in Manchu script.

'E-niang, don't read it, my son is all right. ’

The crooked words were obviously written in a hurry, and it was impossible to tell who wrote them, but the last one left in English in artistic style still made Erfu clearly realize that this was the words left by Hongxuan.

Too many consultations rushed into her mind at once, and Erf was a little confused.

She flattened the few pieces of material that had been thrown next to her, and carefully compared the pieces of material that could be clearly identified, and finally recognized the traces of these things that she thought were like totems, but they were all the same words, but they were written in too haste, so they were a little blurred, and in the end they did not show a few words clearly.

"Hongxuan, is Hongxuan alive or dead?

If he's not dead, where is he?" Erph sat limply on the water-stained relief tiles, looked at the cloth scattered in front of him, buried his head in his arms with his hands and knees, and muttered to himself.

The girl who was kicked out of the door by Erfu to guard listened to the movement in the room gradually subsided, but her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, she finally couldn't suppress the panic in her heart, and ping-pong knocked on the door to call Erfu, for fear that Erfu would have another emotional breakdown.

Yes, Erph had a breakdown once after learning of the deaths of Hongxuan's children.

It's just that instinctive self-protection made her forget what she had seen by suicide after being rescued by Ya'er and Yaoqin, and even forgot that she was on Zhuangzi after Hongxuan was buried, and she was in a coma for seven days.

Ya'er and Yaoqin knew that Erfu loved several children to the bone, and they really didn't want to stimulate her, seeing that Erfu didn't remember these things, they also made the people below close their mouths, making Erfu think that she seemed to be very strong and went through that difficult time, but in fact, Erfu didn't know that she was much more fragile than she thought, and she didn't know that she was guarding Hongxuan and Xiaojiu, When Jiu'er died, the fourth master had apologized to her countless times, repenting that he had failed to take good care of a few children in the days when Erfu was away, and even swore that he would take revenge and would not let a few children die in vain.

Everything was revealed at this moment.

The memories that poured in like a tide made Erfu immersed in this grief again, and the heart-rending pain made her unconsciously stiffen up, she held her heart tightly with both hands like a knife, stood up from the ground with difficulty, looked at the scattered pieces of material on the ground, took a deep breath of bitter air, looked up with watery eyes, looked at the wisps of light gauze drapery hanging from above, sighed faintly, and said: " E-Niang will live well, E-Niang won't do stupid things, E-Niang must hold those people and die together, otherwise E-Niang will not know how to face you poor children even if she is dead. ”

As if swearing, and muttering as if to cheer herself on, Erph leaned over and picked up all the materials thrown on the ground, and no matter how dirty the water in the basin was, she pressed the materials into it, rubbing the undiscolored positions vigorously, until her hands were red and swollen and itchy, and several pieces of material became like rags.

"Master, are you alright?" the girl asked in a trembling voice as she looked at the mess all over the ground.

Erfu forced out an ugly smile, handed Ya'er a reassuring look, raised his leg and gently kicked the copper basin at his feet, and said in a choked voice: "Don't worry, I'm fine, you quickly clean up here, these materials can't be used, you take it outside and burn it, just burn it in this yard, I watch you burn it." After saying that, she asked Ya'er to throw a few pieces of material under the porch, and asked Ya'er to take the spare kerosene in the room, pour it on the wet material, light the fire herself, and watch the wisps of smoke rise into the sky, then close the window, sit back on the Luohan bed, and think quietly about what is on her mind.

She seems to have overlooked something, maybe she should not see Qingdai, but the fourth master.

Sitting on the Luohan bed, Erfu, who had calmed down a little, finally began to work, she casually touched the quill in the drawer of the small tea table and the ink in the glass bottle, and took a stack of ribbed paper and placed it in front of her, and began to draw the timeline.

As a person who is not very smart, she feels that she needs to take care of it.

Erff casually drew a not-so-straight line on the paper, taking the time of her return to Beijing as the central point, and began to recall the various events that happened in those days.

With the same things marked, the timeline is much clearer.

Looking at the more and more clear trend of the situation on the paper, she suddenly smiled, judging from the time, these materials were selected from the Nishang Pavilion two days before she came out of Shengjing, so when the embroidery girl cut a few sets of clothes, she had already ridden a fast horse to return to Beijing with the old thirteen, so she needed to be sent back to Beijing through the post road, and sent back to her hands.

As a customer-oriented shop, Nishang Pavilion will never send unqualified materials to guests, especially when the guest is the owner of the shop, in other words, when these clothes are sent out from Shengjing, the materials are still fine, then it means that Hongxuan left these words of peace on the materials, and Erfu had mistakenly thought that he was dead.

Looking at it this way, Hongxuan's life and death have a certainty, how can she not laugh!
