Chapter 365

As he spoke, Zhao Dezhu was about to walk to the door.

Wang Shoucai hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him, "Can Grandpa Su tell you?"

Zhao Dezhu didn't know the bottom of his heart, but things had come to this point, and his master looked as if he had madness, "Try it, our master treats Father-in-law Su well, maybe he can still read our master's affection for him and give us some advice!"

This can be regarded as hope in despair!

Zhao Dezhu straightened the wrinkled hem of his robe, wiped his braids at the window, put the hat hanging on the mouth of the bottle on his head, and was about to walk out with a long sigh.

"Brother Zhao, you wait!" Wang Shoucai hurriedly grabbed Zhao Dezhu, walked inside, and pulled down the bedding stacked on the kang cabinet, and when Zhao Dezhu was in a daze, he saw Wang Shoucai pull an oil-stained twisted pillow open the sutures, and took out a few small gold ingots from it, "You take it, then Father-in-law Su is a good fortune, although there are not many things, but in the end it can be dealt with!"

These gold ingots were all rewarded by Erfu to Wang Shoucai over the years.

He has been reluctant to take it out to exchange for silver, this time he can take it out for Erfu's affairs, it can be seen that Erfu is not as failed as she imagined, at least the old people who follow her are thinking about her, thinking about her in their hearts!

"Then I'll take it!" Zhao Dezhu patted Wang Shoucai's shoulder heavily and sighed.

After saying that, he took a big stride and walked out.

Zhao Dezhu hurried all the way to the corner gate in the front yard, and was just about to hand the waist card to the doorkeeper. saw that the fourth master appeared alone on the path, his head turned, and a possibility flashed in his heart. glanced at the Yiyue Pavilion hidden in the depths of the flowers and trees, and hurriedly hid behind the big tree.

The fourth master had an evil fire in his heart, but he didn't notice Zhao Dezhu who was peeping, but he didn't go to Yiyue Pavilion as Zhao Dezhu expected, but walked directly to the Hanging Flower Gate, seeing that he should be going back to the front.

"Go, or don't go?" Zhao Dezhu watched the figure of the fourth master disappear. Raising his hand and tearing off a branch, he muttered as he tugged at the leaves.

Look at the bare branches. He stamped his feet and walked the way he had walked.

......

Wang Shoucai has been looking in the direction of the gate of the courtyard since Zhao Dezhu went out, and as soon as he saw Zhao Dezhu entering the door, he couldn't wait to run over, anxious to know the result. "Brother Zhao. How did you come back so quickly?"

"I didn't go!" Zhao Dezhu waved his hand, pulled Wang Shoucai to the corner, and re-stuffed a few gold ingots in his sleeve into Wang Shoucai's hand, and said in a low voice.

"What's going on?" Wang Shoucai grabbed Zhao Dezhu, who was about to walk away, and asked repeatedly.

Zhao Dezhu sighed, shook his head again, and pulled Wang Shoucai to hide in the corner, and then replied in a dumb voice: "I just saw the master in the courtyard, I think this matter has something to do with the newly raised Gege." I can't help it, it's Gege over there who instigates it, otherwise how good our master and master would have been before!"

"I can't. I heard the little palace maids say that person is the little maid who is waiting in the house, even if he has won the eyes of our master for a while, does it really have such a heavy weight in our master's heart?" Wang Shoucai felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly waved his hand and raised objections.

"You don't know this man's mind......

At that time, my father sold me to the Internal Affairs Office for the sake of my stepmother, and he forgot that there was no dowry brought by my own mother to marry him, and where did the family get the land, but for my stepmother to bring that oil bottle and lost the family property, even my own son didn't want it, and sold my only sister to a big family to do a small thing!

This man is a white-eyed wolf who only hears the laughter of the newcomer and does not hear the cry of the old man!" Zhao Dezhu interrupted him in a deep voice without waiting for Wang Shoucai to finish speaking, ripped off half of his clothes, pointed to the whip marks on the top that had not faded for many years, and said through gritted teeth.

Wang Shoucai had heard Zhao Dezhu talk about his family, and he was also curious about the scars on his body, he used to be beaten by his father-in-law when he was serving in the Internal Affairs Office, but he didn't want to be the hand of the family, and his face couldn't help but change again and again.

After all, Zhao Dezhu was only ten years old when he was sold to the Internal Affairs Office......

It's been 20 years, so you can see how serious the injury was at that time.

"Brother Zhao......" Wang Shoucai called in a hoarse voice.

"Don't comfort me, I understood when I was able to survive that year, even if I don't have children and grandchildren to be servants of people, it's better than staying in that hell, don't you see I met a good master?" Zhao Dezhu pushed Wang Shoucai with his backhand, slapped his shoulder with a smile, and said as if he was a little proud.

"What should I do with the master?" Wang Shoucai glanced at the upper room with some concern and whispered.

"Take a step, look at a step, you won't let that person bully our master!" Zhao Dezhu muttered as if promised.

After saying that, he went into the upside-down room without looking back.

Wang Shoucai was already at a loss, but when he saw Zhao Dezhu saying this, he didn't think about it anymore, pinched the hard gold horn, and followed Zhao Dezhu's footsteps to the house.

......

Erph lay crookedly on the beauty couch, sighing for a long time.

It took a while to come to his senses, he sat up with a strong spirit, took the medicine bowl sent by Yaoqin, drank it all, and then fell down on the beauty couch, pulled the quilt and continued to sigh, until Xiaoshengzi sent the little palace maid to ask about the dinner, and then he finally came to life.

"The dish prepared by Xiao Shengzi is also light, and it should not taste good, so just let people put it on the kang in the east room!" Erfu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and whispered.

After speaking, he had already stretched out his hand to Yaoqin and motioned for Yaoqin to help her get up.

When Erfu walked out of the door, the two kang tables had been put together, and a dazzling array of early tables were placed on the table, and the most attractive thing was the roasted sweet potato in the thin white porcelain plate, and the sweet taste was drilling into the nose one by one. Whet people's appetites.

"This is a small red bean ball specially prepared by Xiaoshengzi, and a lot of black beans are added to it, which is the most suitable for women to eat at this time!" Yaoqin poured out of the stew pot. He introduced it with a smile.

The small balls are made of glutinous rice by Xiaoshengzi, and they are soaked in pale red porridge water like pearls, with a sweet and glutinous taste, but it is easy to eat.

"This pumpkin glutinous rice cake itself has the sweet and glutinous taste of pumpkin, and Xiaoshengzi also sprinkled a layer of icing sugar on it to emphasize the sweetness. Master, try it!"

Erfu, who never used the palace maid's cloth vegetables in the past, did not refuse Yaoqin, who was standing aside and waiting, this time.

Instead, he ate the food sent by Yaoqin like a puppet, and the glutinous rice ball was just like what Yaoqin said. It melts in the mouth, and it is sweet to the bottom of my heart, but Erfu didn't eat it at all, but felt a faint bitterness. Just take a bite and put it down.

Yaoqin saw that Erfu did not have a high appetite. Hurriedly changed a new small porcelain plate, and sent a steamed tofu roll to Erfu's eyes.

The tofu skin roll is Xiao Shengzi's specialty dish, not as good as the big kitchen to make there is a beany smell, the filling is mixed with fresh leeks sent from Zhuangzi, pork, dried sea rice and the like, full of umami, when it is served, it is poured with oil, rock sugar, and soup boiled in clear water, which is regarded as an appetizer.

Plain, which is also what Erf likes. But this is not the heart of Erfu.

Erph turned her head without even looking at it, and continued to stir the bowl of red bean dumplings with the spoon.

Yaoqin sighed in her heart. She gave the guzheng another look, and put another steamed meatball that she usually loved, wrapped in a whole quail egg, and put it in the delicious chicken soup and steamed.

These soups and dishes can still be eaten in a few bites, but at this time, I really can't keep up my spirits.

"Forget it, bring that steamed potato closer!" Erfu didn't want to embarrass Yaoqin and them, pointed to the porcelain cup in the small steamer, and whispered.

When Yaoqin heard this, she really showed a smile and hurriedly delivered the dish to Erfu.

Erfu couldn't eat it after only two bites, and felt that it was too wasteful, so she was really sorry for the little shengzi who was busy preparing to eat in the morning, and finally focused on the red bean balls, and rewarded Yaoqin and the others with everything else on the table.

......

"How much did the master eat?" Xiao Shengzi saw Yaoqin coming over with a big food box, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Yaoqin shook her head bitterly, and handed the heavy food box in her hand to Xiao Shengzi, "I only drank a small bowl of red bean dumplings, and tasted two pieces of steamed potatoes, and I didn't even look at the rest, isn't this all rewarded to those of us who serve people to add food!"

"Otherwise, make something heavy at noon to stimulate the master's appetite, otherwise you will deal with two mouthfuls like this, and the master's body will not be able to survive!" Xiao Shengzi put the food box on the long board on the side, held his hand, and proposed with a worried face.

"Anyway, you know the master's body, you can do it!"

Yaoqin didn't worry that Erfu was leaving someone to serve, and with a wave of her hand, she interrupted Xiaoshengzi's endless words, turned around and went back to the main room, just in time to see Erfu lying on the edge of the silver-edged porcelain spittoon, and hurriedly snatched the tea bowl held in Guzheng's hand and stepped forward, while smoothing her breath, she whispered, "Master, drink saliva and press it!"

Erff vomited twice, then straightened up, took two sips of the teacup, and vomited again.

After a long time, Erf sat down on the couch again.

"Master, go and ask Imperial Doctor Hu to take a look at you!" Yaoqin said uncomfortably as she rinsed Erfu's mouth with a new teacup.

Erf waved her hand, "No need, I'll just go and lie down in the inner room in a while!"

She didn't want people to watch the excitement, and she didn't know if it would reach the ears of the women of the Li family, if she called Imperial Doctor Hu to come and see her, it would really add talking points to their chatter, and if they could be fooled, they would be fooled.

Anyway, she knew that she was fine, but the fire in her heart couldn't be spit out, and she was just a little guilty.

She used to have such a problem in modern times, even if she ate it when she was in a bad mood, she would vomit it quickly, and she had a smooth ride over the years, but she didn't encounter such a situation, but she didn't want to be so excited today.

Erfu, who had a bottom in her heart, couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips with her uneasy little eyes at Shang Yaoqin.

"Don't be afraid, my body is absolutely fine, don't worry about it anymore, let Xiao Shengzi make me a plate of cold skin to quench my cravings, I'll be good at this time, it would be better if I had another plate of candied fruit or something!"

Yaoqin responded again and again, explained that the guzheng was waiting carefully, and was about to go out to Zhang Luo.

"Remember to let him put more spicy peppers, don't make it sour, I don't like jealousy!" Erf cried up.

When Gu Zheng heard this, he also showed a relaxed smile.

When she was still at home before, her mother told her that this patient is prone to loss of appetite, but once she has the food she is talking about, then her body will be fine.

"Go get me a cup of honey fruit tea!" Erph whispered, glancing disgustedly at the water in the teacup in her hand.

Guzheng had Yaoqin's explanation in front of him, and he didn't dare to leave Erfu's side, so he hurriedly called the little palace maid waiting in the corner of the floor cover, muttered Erfu's preferences, and then raised his hand and sent the little palace maid down to prepare.

In the tea room, hot water and fruit tea were readily available, so the little palace maid quickly returned to the east room.

In the glass handle pot, there were a few rock sugars floating in the pale red tea soup that had not yet melted, and Erfu smelled the faint fragrance, "Hurry up and pour me a cup and rinse your mouth!"

When Gu Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed again, and hurriedly took the teacup and poured it, and put a few plates of candied fruit that had just been taken out of the cabinet on a tall plate and sent it to Erfu's eyes, "The master has just vomited, it is estimated that this mouth is not strong, eat a few fruits and sweet mouths!"

"You and Yaoqin are really intimate, don't stand stupidly, move a small pestle and sit and talk!" Erfu nodded with a smile, followed the words of the guzheng and pinched a candied fruit to his mouth, and said softly.

After saying that, she seemed to have a big appetite and smacked her lips again and again, in fact, Erfu was really not that hungry, at most she had some appetite, and secondly, she really missed the most common snack in school.

......

It is quite a tedious thing to make cold skin, not only to wash the face, but also to steam the drawer, and to make oil and spicy seeds.

In addition, Erfu was pregnant before, these things have not been made for a long time, and some seasonings have not been prepared, Xiaoshengzi was busy for half an hour before he made a bowl of cold skin, turned around and took a small dish filled with oil and spicy seeds, put a piece in the food box, and put a plate of braised donkey meat and a small dish of cold kelp shreds in it, and then closed the lid and handed it to Yaoqin.

"Remember to let the master add less spicy food, so as not to hurt the stomach. Xiao Shengzi saw that Yaoqin was about to leave, and reminded him with some anxiety.

"I know, you just put your heart in your stomach!" Yaoqin waved her hand indifferently, and walked as she spoke. (To be continued.) )
