Chapter 231: Wake Up
Time is like flowing water, and it never stops.
For three days, Erfu was like three years, although Erfu knew that the fourth master would definitely be able to ascend to the throne smoothly, but she was a little worried that because of her little butterfly, the future of the fourth master would be completely ruined, so that the fourth master could not survive this epidemic that had happened in history.
Weeping day and day, night after night, the originally round and jade Erfu quickly lost weight, and Zhang Bao, who was the confidant of the fourth master, rarely regarded the woman in the backyard as half a master and joined the persuasion camp.
But Erfu is like a tendon, the whole person doesn't pay attention to anyone's words, and he turns a blind eye to the maids, eunuchs, and servants who come in and out, only when the imperial doctor appears, Erfu will have a look in his eyes, carefully inquire about the condition of the fourth master, and actively participate in it.
It's not that Erfu can't believe in these imperial doctors, it's just that Erfu from modern times, although he is not as good as these imperial doctors for the pathology of traditional Chinese medicine, but some homely first aid methods are more than they know, coupled with the woman's unique carefulness, he soon took care of the errand of the fourth master.
Seeing Erfu holding a smiling face, holding the big hand of the fourth master, saying those words that had never been said in the past, the imperial doctor who had always seen birth, old age, sickness and death was also quite moved, and he didn't mind that the unique skills in his hands were learned by him, and taught Erfu how to massage and comfort the fourth master, so that the fourth master would not suffer from muscle atrophy due to long-term bed rest.
The holy driver has returned to the capital, Hongxuan and Xiaoqi's mother stayed in Rehe, Concubine De felt sorry for the children, and specially asked for the grace of Kangxi. took the two small buns from the Fourth Master's Mansion into the palace.
Although Concubine De doesn't like Erfu very much, and she is not close to the fourth master, but in the end, the family affection that blood is thicker than water is constantly abandoned. In just a few days, he successfully forced the grandmother who Erfu arranged for the two little buns to retreat, and took care of the pair of buns in person as if she were with a little fourteen.
When the Wulanala clan learned that Erfu took care of the fourth master in person regardless of his own safety, he also sent the precious medicinal materials treasured in the house to Rehe, and invited two more famous doctors in Beijing to go with him.
Emperor Kangxi even opened a private warehouse and sent a 500-year-old wild ginseng that was previously stored in a jade box to Rehe. In addition, he also pointed out the two imperial doctors around him, which can be regarded as doing his best, and this is the first son other than Yinren to be treated like this!
Although several princes in Beijing were angry. But no one is willing to replace the fourth master, after all, the epidemic is a big deal, and the slightest carelessness is a loss of life, no matter how big the face and wealth are. It's always true that you have to live but enjoy it.
Erfu has been accompanying the fourth master in Songtao Garden for more than half a month. But the fourth master is still the same as the day he sent back, even the decoction is fed by Erfu one by one, and he can't swallow a mouthful of food, so that Erfu has to get out the nasal tube used by seriously ill patients now, and let the small kitchen prepare fragrant soup every day, feeding it along the nose little by little, and preventing the fourth master from being choked.
The fourth master has lost weight, and Erfu has also lost weight. All the people who stayed in Rehe had lost weight, and the doctor was worried about his white beard. The refugees, who were also tormented by the epidemic, were even worse off than death, and the faint cry could be heard everywhere.
As soon as the imperial doctor arrived in Rehe, he was surrounded by the families of the victims who were tormented and crazy by the epidemic, if Zhang Bao hadn't appeared in time, I am afraid that they would not even be able to see the face of the fourth master.
Under pressure, there is always something to gain.
A prescription like a talisman was born, curing many patients infected with the epidemic, giving the victims and Erfu a glimmer of hope who had no hope, but this prescription is not a miracle cure, and cannot achieve a 100% cure rate.
After several discussions, the imperial doctor and the imperial doctor couldn't make up their minds to give the fourth master medicine, so they had to push the ball to Erfu.
On that thin piece of paper, there were only a hundred crosses, but Erf was silent for a long time.
The heavy medicine made Erfu frightened, but looking at the fourth master's increasingly weak breathing, Erfu withstood the pressure of killing his head and wrote a love letter, hoping to keep the Guerjia family, and ordered Yujie and Yuhan to return to Beijing, so he made up his mind to decoct the medicine sent by the imperial doctor in person and feed the fourth master.
One day, two days, three days......
From the initial hope, Erfu gradually despaired, looking at the fourth master's still unimproved body, with dark circles comparable to pandas, he stayed by the side of the fourth master for a moment, and prayed weakly to the gods and Buddhas to bless this hard-working man.
Speaking of which, Erfu has not slept well for nearly two months, and now she has not fallen down completely by virtue of that breath, but she doesn't know how long she can last, she is afraid that she will collapse, the fourth master has not woken up, her panicked heart is like the pool of water that has been broken and calm.
At night, Erfu thought more than once that she had heard the familiar call of the fourth master, and every time she raised her head, she always looked at the same sleeping face.
The weather was getting colder, and Erfu was wearing a large muslin cloak with cotton and lying on the footrest next to the bed, like a maid ring at night, just to be able to come to the fourth master's side as quickly as possible.
It was another full moon night, Erfu looked at the starry and blue blue night sky, vented the boredom in his heart with a long sigh, looked at the fourth master's face that was already thin and out of shape, and whispered: "Master, it's time to wake up, you should rest enough, if you don't do it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
I came to this world alone, and I only felt safe when I was by your side, but the way you are now, I am so scared, I want to cry with fear, but I can't find a shoulder to rely on......"
As he spoke, Erfu's tears dripped down and fell on the fourth master's skinny hands, which made Erfu feel congested again, so he could only get up and take a handkerchief to wipe for the fourth master, retracted helplessly on the pedal, and pulled the cloak to sleep lightly.
"Girl......"
I don't know how long it took, Erfu vaguely seemed to hear the call of the fourth master, the voice was the same as before, full of pampering and helplessness, she always disliked the fourth master and treated her as a child, and some disliked this title, but now she can only hear it in her dreams.
"Water ......"
Another soft cry sounded. Erfu sat up busily, and looked at the fourth master's half-squinted eyes by the not very bright moonlight outside the window. I jumped and jumped in surprise, and even forgot that the fourth master had just woken up, and his body was still very weak.
"Water ......" The fourth master didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he felt the exhaustion of his body, and when he saw Erfu who was already black and thin in front of him, he knew that he was frightened of her, looking at Erfu's stupid appearance. Muttered softly.
"Yes, yes, water, water, water, I'll drink water for you......" Erfu finally realized what happened when the fourth master woke up. Smiled and nodded, crawled to the round table in the middle of the room, took a glass of cool water, and climbed back excitedly. Carefully feed the fourth master to drink. Seeing that the fourth master was already able to drink water by himself, the tears of excitement in his eyes fell again.
The fourth master raised his hand that was a little disobedient, but he only raised it by more than an inch, and then fell down weakly again, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said in a low voice: "Girl, don't cry......"
"I'm not crying, it's good you're awake. I'm going to call the Imperial Doctor!" said Elf, wrapping the crumpled cloak around her feet. Running out of the door with his hair scattered is no different from a madman running around the street.
Su Peisheng had also come out of the ear room, looking at the fourth master's appearance of opening his eyes and wanting to get up, he hurriedly helped the already thin man to sit up, and stuffed a soft pillow behind the fourth master, and then stood beside him in a regular manner.
"How long has the master slept?" Although the fourth master looked tired, his eyes were shining, and he was obviously already well.
"It's been three months!" Su Peisheng replied cautiously, took the vinegared coat from the wardrobe and draped it over the shoulders of the fourth master, for fear that the master who had just woken up would fall asleep again.
The fourth master frowned in disgust, shook off the clothes on the bed, and said in a low voice: "It smells bad." โ
"Master, you can't pay attention to these things at this time, this is all ordered by the master of Guerjia, saying that it is good for the prevention of epidemics, so the middle clothes worn by the master on weekdays are also smoked with vinegar. Su Peisheng hurriedly draped the clothes on the shoulders of the fourth master and explained softly.
"It's been three months, hasn't the Holy Driver returned to Beijing yet?" the fourth master came back to his senses from seeing Erfu's ugly appearance just now, and asked a little strangely.
Su Peisheng hurriedly recounted the events of the past three months, and did not forget to show Erfu's efforts to take care of the fourth master these days, and at the same time gave eye medicine to the few women who returned to the house and did not stop.
"It's hard for her!"
The fourth master didn't say anything, nor did he mention the reward, but Su Peisheng knew that the fourth master had put the Guerjia master in his heart, and as long as the Guerjia master didn't do anything to harm the emperor's heir and rebel in the future, I am afraid that he would be able to enjoy wealth and nobility in this life.
Outside, Erfu had also pulled out Imperial Doctor Han and Imperial Doctor Jiang and others from the side room, and in just a few steps, he did not forget to urge a few people to hurry up, completely devoid of the politeness of the past, so that Imperial Doctor Han and Imperial Doctor Jiang, two old men over sixty years old, couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other.
As for Imperial Doctor Hao, who had just passed his fiftieth birthday, he was directly dragged into the main room by Erfu.
"Let's take a look at Ye and see if I need to take any more decoctions!" Erph gasped, wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead, and said with her hands on her knees.
Three black lines appeared on Su Peisheng's head, and he hurriedly walked out of the inner room to make a round, and said softly: "It's hard work for a few adults, our master has just woken up, please take the pulse!"
"Awake?" Imperial Doctor Hao didn't care about complaining, and hurriedly dodged away from Guergarfu, who was always arresting, and directly bypassed Su Peisheng and walked into the inner room, and said with a little surprise.
As soon as the words fell, Imperial Doctor Hao had already walked to the bedside, looking at the footrest who had not had time to clean up and the fourth master who was leaning on the head of the bed to look at him, a wave of joy also welled up in his heart, and he hurriedly bowed his hand, took out a silk handkerchief and put it on the fourth master's wrist as thick as a child's arm, and put it on the pulse with one hand.
"Congratulations to the fourth master, now your pulse is gentle and powerful, although you are still a little weak, but as long as you nourish your body according to the prescription, you will be able to recover in less than three months!"
"I'm tired of a few adults!" The fourth master had just woken up, he was out of breath, and he was a little out of breath when he spoke.
"The fourth master has just woken up, let's have a good rest, let's go back and discuss a prescription, and let people prepare medicinal food according to the prescription tomorrow!" Imperial Doctor Hao arched his hand and continued.
The fourth master bowed his head slightly and glanced at Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng, who was standing next to him, immediately took a step forward and politely sent Imperial Doctor Hao and the others back to the side room, and he himself returned to the ear room with a special eye, leaving the main room to the man and woman who had just experienced the catastrophe of life and death.
In the room, the tranquility was restored, and Erfu originally wanted to wet the handkerchief to wipe the face of the fourth master, but when she saw her wolf bรจi unbearable face, she shrank up a little embarrassed, trying to reduce the sense of storage.
"Come here!" the fourth master looked at Erph's appearance of being about to drill behind the pillar, and said with some amusement.
Erfu twisted and didn't step forward, the fourth master was a little angry, thinking that this Nizi was going to lift the quilt on her body and get out of bed for the sake of staying in Rehe, so she forced Erfu, who was drawing circles behind the pillar, out.
"Sit!" Erfu stood on the ground like a child who had made a mistake, his head drooping as if he had been filled with lead, and he saw the fire spewing out of the eyes of the fourth master, and said in a deep voice.
Erfu seemed to have transformed into a machine, flicked and moved, sat on the edge of the bed half-bowed, and shyly brushed the long hair scattered like a bird's nest on his head, and secretly rubbed his face with his sleeve.
"Why don't you go back?" the fourth master had just drunk some water, but now he felt a little stronger, raised his hand and stroked Erfu's messy hair, and asked with a little dissatisfaction.
"I don't want to go back, the scenery here is good!" Erfu was embarrassed to say that he was reluctant to leave the fourth master, and casually talked about an obvious excuse.
"Aren't you afraid that you will be infected with the epidemic if you stay here with your grandfather?" the fourth master pulled down Erfu's hand to cover his face, looked at Erfu's bloodshot eyes, and asked in a low voice.
"I'm afraid, so I'm very careful, and I also drank the medicinal soup prescribed by the imperial doctor to prevent the epidemic. "Erfu is definitely not a person who blindly sends him to death, the fourth master's body is all infected, and she is naturally afraid, so she prescribes a lot of banlan root to drink, which is a modern panacea for SARS prevention.
"Fool!" The fourth master saw the little shyness in Erfu's eyes, and also remembered the words he vaguely heard, and took Erfu's small hand, which was also thin and skinny, full of distressed rubbing.
"Ye has slept for so long, I'm afraid I'm hungry, I've let people keep warm porridge, there should be a small kitchen at this time, why don't you drink some and then sleep!"
The white porridge in the small kitchen is what Erfu must prepare every day, although the fourth master has never woken up to drink, but she has not pulled the next day, at this time the news of the fourth master's awakening has spread in the courtyard, so those cooks who have rested have also climbed up.
After a while, the cook in the front yard kitchen who came to serve the fourth master in Rehe prepared a few light side dishes, and also sprinkled a few grains of salt into the porridge, so as not to make the fourth master unable to taste and not like to eat. (To be continued......)
