Chapter 237: A Dream

Erfu obviously regarded this Song family, who had come to her era with her, as a big problem, and even did not hesitate to use the secret agents handed over to her by Zhang Bao, just to insist on Song's every move.

The eldest grandmother persuaded several times, but she got a positive answer from Erfu, and she mobilized all the spies in her hands in the past.

After all, the master's order is the first criterion.

Although there were already people staring at the Song family, Erfu just felt unstable in his heart, and he couldn't eat or sleep all day long, and gradually he lost weight.

Not only that, but even Xiao Qi and Hongxuan, who had just started to grow their heads, lost a lot of weight, and their originally cute little white round faces turned into melon seed faces, if it was just like this, Erfu would definitely think that she scared the two little babies, but when she heard that the Wulanala clan and Niu Hulu and others in the main courtyard were like this, she panicked.

"Master, where are you going!" Yuhua just went to the small kitchen to get the food box, and saw Erfu holding the bed hoaming and struggling to get up with sweat, hurriedly took two steps forward, put the food box at the foot of the bed, helped Erfu sit firmly, and asked softly.

Erfu's body was very weak, and he got up suddenly, only to feel that his eyes were black for a while, and his mouth was full of fishy and bitter strange tastes, and he gasped for a few breaths, and then he eased up, waved his hand at Yuhua, covered his mouth and nose, and said in a low voice: "Prepare something for me to rinse your mouth, my mouth is so bitter!"

"Yes, master!" Yuhua didn't dare to slack off, the weather was too hot now, and the food would not cool down for a while, so he walked quickly behind the screen and took a small porcelain jar filled with green salt and brushes and other objects. He brought a cup of mountain spring water to Erfu's lips, and then held a gilded copper bowl and waited for Erfu to rinse his mouth.

Green salt with a slight mint aroma. It can be regarded as Erfu's favorite thing, and the taste is very similar to that of a certain brand of bamboo salt toothpaste in later generations. The small toothbrush made of bamboo is a little unsatisfactory, but now she feels that death is coming, and she is not in the mood to complain about this kind of unsatisfactory.

Erfu, who was smiling, felt that her mouth was still full of bitterness, but she had nothing to do for a while, so she had to sip tea again and again to cover up the strange taste from the abdominal cavity.

"How's it going out there?" asked Erf, who had relieved her strength a little, and raised her eyes with a slight breath.

The eldest grandmother pinched the hem of her sleeve with some embarrassment. In the end, he didn't want to deceive Erfu, who was staring at her, and casually withdrew Yuhua and the others who were waiting in Erfu's room, sat on the small pestle pointed by Erfu, and opened the various messages that he had just written down.

It had only been five days since Erfu fell ill, but it was as if the plague had descended on this village, and the number of sick people was turning upwards in geometric numbers.

The Ulanala clan, who fell first, had completely fallen into a coma, and a person like Niu Hulu, who was both old and in good health, was just barely struggling.

As for those inconspicuous little maids and others, Zhang Bao led a group of little eunuchs to move one out when they found one. It's not very remarkable, but there are already some people who are short of manpower.

The only thing to be thankful for is that it seems that since three days ago, no one in the subordinates has fainted and had a fever.

Originally, when Ulanala was still awake, she was the only one who became ill. She was worried that the sudden big move in the house would affect the fourth master who was running an errand in Jiangnan, so she kept holding on, although the two doctors raised in the house also looked at it. But I couldn't come up with an idea.

Later, several masters fell, but the Ulanala clan had fallen into a coma. Empty holds a waist card that can enter the palace, but he can't command people to enter the palace for help. That's why everyone in the house fell.

Erf pinched her numb arms, and no longer had the strength to speak, so she could only nod weakly, half leaning on the coaming at the head of the bed, with a soft buckwheat pillow behind her, silently thinking about the origin of the matter.

After a long time, just when the eldest grandmother thought that Erf was asleep, Erf opened a pair of cloudy eyes.

"Where are the maids?" said Erf's voice, which was low, but it exploded in the ears of the great grandmother like thunder.

Yes, because the masters of each courtyard suddenly fell, so no one paid attention to the affairs of those maids, but when she was asked by Erfu at this time, the eldest grandmother sensitively noticed that something was wrong, those maids were not just people who served in the courtyard, but rough maids who served in the pulp washing room, even if there were several third-class maids from various courtyards mixed in, they had all been to the pulp washing room.

"Don't be impatient, the old slave will go to Zhang Bao to discuss!" The eldest grandmother hurriedly closed the pamphlet on her lap, got up and bowed, and said softly.

"This matter is not in a hurry, I heard Yuhua and the others say, now there are only Dong E's, Song Shu Fujin, and Li Fangfujin who have not been sick in this Zhuangzi, let people keep an eye on them, I don't believe that this is a plague, I think someone is looking at us people to be an eyesore!" Erfu said very reluctantly.

"The old slave understands!" the eldest grandmother nodded and walked out of the inner room, and when she left, she told Yuhua and the others to serve Erfu well.

Originally, I didn't notice that it was because it was dark under the lamp, but at this time, with the reminder of Erfu, a flower watcher in the fog, Zhang Bao and the eldest grandmother quickly summarized the origin of the sick maid.

A total of twenty-one maids fell ill and were moved to the adjacent courtyard, sixteen of them were rough maids in charge of washing clothes in the pulp washing room, and the remaining five maids were sent by the masters of each courtyard to pick up the clothes, and it was obvious that the source of this matter was in the pulp washing.

Fortunately, there were spies arranged by Zhang Bao everywhere in the house, and they quickly set the target of suspicion - Mama Yun.

Mama Yun is an old man who came out of the palace with the fourth master, originally a second-class palace maid beside the fourth master, and then combed her hair and became a grandmother who was in charge of tea and other valuable things beside the fourth master.

With a suspicious target, Zhang Bao naturally would not let the masters in the house get sick, so he invited Mama Yun into the front yard to talk, and called two good interrogators to interrogate, but found that Mama Yun was already old and confused.

The preface does not match the afterword, and he talks about him left and right.

At the beginning, Zhang Bao also suspected that Mama Yun was deliberately pretending to be stupid. However, after an examination by the house doctor, it was found that Mama Yun's meridians were blocked. The vitality is gradually weakening, and I am afraid that there is not much time left to live. In addition, the person who went to the pulp wash to listen to Mama Yun's news also brought back accurate news, and Mama Yun has been confused since the beginning of the year.

Because of Mama Yun's special identity, the Wulanala clan arranged for Mama You to help, so that Mama Yun could keep it with peace of mind, so now Mama Yun is just hanging the name of Mama Yun as a steward.

The investigation seemed to be at an impasse, and Zhang Bao suddenly felt as if someone was covering his eyes with a layer of black mist, and he couldn't pull out the thread at all, and he couldn't solve the current dilemma.

Mama Yun was stupid, and the room was deliberately cleaned up. There are no clues available at all.

Seeing that several masters in the mansion were sick, Zhang Bao really came to an end.

Wang Yinyu of Zhijun has wooed the fourth master several times, but he is just shaving his head and picking his head, so he naturally will not take care of Zhang Bao, an inconspicuous little eunuch.

Prince Yinren nests in Yuqing Palace all day long, which is not something that he, a little eunuch, can see.

Sanbeile Yinzhi was busy repairing books and ignored what was happening outside, and although Zhang Bao was a eunuch, he was also a foreign man, so he couldn't see Sanfujin at all.

And the thirteenth master, Yinxiang, who is good friends with the fourth master. is now following the fourth master in Jiangnan, which is completely useless.

Although the fourteenth master Yinyu is the younger brother of the fourth master, he was attracted by the eighth master and a group of people to turn a blind eye to the people of the fourth master's mansion, and Zhang Bao sent posts several times and there was no news like a stone sinking into the sea.

Just when Zhang Bao was so worried that he lost his hair. The news of the fourth master's return has come back, and now he has arrived in Tongzhou, but the fourth master's return is not glorious. It is equivalent to being forced back by the prince and his group and the eldest brother and his group, and I saw that the credit for my hand fell on the head of the eighth child. The two brothers of the Nian family officially walked in front of Kangxi's eyes.

However, these major events have their own four masters and Chen Fu to worry about. Zhang Bao, who was labeled as the rear of the stable dìng early in the morning, his only job now is to ensure that the backyard is not exploited by people and the safety of the hostesses and little masters in the house.

Zhang Bao hurriedly arranged to go to Tongzhou to pick up the fourth master back to Zhuangzi, entrusted the family affairs of the house to the eldest grandmother, and led people out of Zhuangzi.

......

Erfu's condition is getting worse and worse, and the eldest grandmother naturally has no intention of participating in the idle affairs of the Li family and the Song family, although I heard that there is a lot of trouble over there, but she still accompanies Erfu every day.

Just about to fetch water and wash, he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and walked out of the ear room with a little dissatisfaction, and saw the fourth master wearing a slightly wrinkled dark blue robe appeared in front of him.

"Master, you can come back!" The eldest grandmother only felt that her eyes were swollen, and she walked in front of the fourth master with a muddy step, a pair of eyes stared at the fourth master's somewhat blue face, and said in a slightly excited, apprehensive, and uneasy tone.

"How is she!" the fourth master paused and asked a little nervously.

"The master hasn't been awake for two days. The eldest grandmother wiped the tears oozing from the corners of her eyes and said in a choked voice.

The fourth master nodded slightly, walked into the room full of the smell of medicine and sweat, looked at Erfu who was lying in the dark red bed with sunken cheeks and black and blue eyes, only to feel that his heart was being taken care of and rubbed, and he ripped off the waist card with the mutton fat jade hollow carved cloud and thunder pattern hanging on his waist, and coldly ordered Su Peisheng to enter the palace to invite the imperial doctor.

Poor Su Peisheng hasn't slept a peaceful sleep for a few days, holding the waist card, his feet are a little fluttering, fortunately Zhang Bao kindly helped him, otherwise Su Peisheng would definitely give the fourth master a.

Although the fourth master was reprimanded by Kangxi Ye spread all over the government and the opposition, the doctors of the Tai Hospital still did not dare to slack off, and soon summoned five Tai doctors, including the Yuan Zheng and the Yuan Judge, to come to Zhuangzi in the exclusive carriage of the Tai Hospital.

The princes who were originally pretending to be deaf and dumb also seemed to have suddenly woken up, and they all led Fujin and came to Zhuangzi with various gifts.

The fourth master was not in the mood to fight with them at this time, and the Wulanala clan was so sick that he only had one breath left, so naturally there was no one to entertain these Fujin, and he was soon sent out of Zhuangzi, but all kinds of precious medicinal materials brought by the fourth master were sent to the courtyard where the imperial doctors consulted.

The court sentenced Li Wenxuan to be a descendant of Li Shizhen, who crossed the acupoint with a golden needle in one hand, and was superb, but after reading the medical cases of the Wulanala clan and the Guerjia clan, he still couldn't help frowning.

This is a secret medicine from the previous dynasty, called a curtain of dreams.

Although the name is good, it is indeed an extraordinarily poisonous medicine that makes people fall into an endless stupor before they know it, and finally die in a dream.

Although many people in the Tai Hospital know the medicinal properties of this medicine, but there is no way to detoxify, the only definite method is to fight poison with poison, but if it is just the female relatives of Fujin and Side Fujin, they still dare to gamble, but now that it is about the emperor's heir and grandson, they are a little timid.

The fourth master is not a good-tempered person, and now he has just been robbed of the credit and eaten the first place, and when he came back, he found that the women and children in the backyard were sick.

And Su Peisheng, the personal eunuch of the fourth master, was even more miserable, in less than a day's work, the whole person was like ten years old, there were two pale pink handprints on the originally smooth cheeks, a looming footprint was printed on the chest of the robe, the combed oily hair was burr, and the tearful appearance made people want to laugh when they saw it.

"Master, why don't you go down and rest!" Zhang Mingsheng took advantage of Su Peisheng's time to make tea for the fourth master, and came to the front and said softly.

"Monkey cub, even I have such a miserable appearance, what do you think you can get!"

Although Su Peisheng has countless apprentices, there are few who pay attention to him, this Zhang Mingsheng is more important to him, and he wants to train him to succeed him, but when he sees the greed and ambition in Zhang Mingsheng's eyes, he still dislikes it a lot, and even his tone is much stricter.

"Isn't the apprentice distressed that the master is tired and has worked hard all the way!" Zhang Mingsheng leaned over again and again flatteringly, hiding a trace of dissatisfaction and hatred in his eyes, and said sharply.

"Come on, my body is still useful, I don't need you to be diligent and fast here, if you have this kung fu, it is better to go to Lin Lanyuan to urge those old men who are grinding up and don't know how long to go!" Su Peisheng kicked Zhang Mingsheng's leg socket, although he didn't use any strength, but he also kicked Zhang Mingsheng to stumble, and then scolded in a low voice.

Zhang Mingsheng was so busy that he withdrew from the ear room next to the study, grinning and rubbing the leg socket that had been kicked as he walked, and secretly scolded Su Peisheng for holding on to his authority.

As soon as Su Peisheng entered the door with seven points of hot tea, he saw that the fourth master smashed a piece of golden stone dragon tail inkstone that he cherished in the past on the cold and hard marble floor tiles, and the debris was splashed everywhere, so frightened that Su Peisheng couldn't care about the hot tea in his hand, and knelt directly on the ground to plead guilty.

"Shut up!" The fourth master irritably knocked over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the wide sour branch wooden table, and then sat down on the Taishi chair with the cloud dragon pattern armrest, and said coldly.

"Master, if you really can't rest assured, it's better to take a look at the master of Guerjia, it's better than you sulking here, there is a big brother in Fujin left and right, you go and see that the master of Guerjia and the third elder brother and the fourth Gege also make sense!" Su Peisheng's mind flashed, and he quickly leaned over and bowed, and said quickly.

"What you say is reasonable!" The fourth master didn't want to leave Yuehua Courtyard in the first place, but considering that he was said to spoil his concubine and kill his wife, he went back to the front yard directly, and he was irritable at this time, also because he was worried about Erfu, and when he heard Su Peisheng put forward a more reliable opinion, his face finally looked a little better, and he said with a slight bow.

Su Peisheng had a feeling that he had been away from life and death, so he hurriedly called someone to come in and clean up, and waited for the fourth master to change into a clean moon-blue robe, and then helped the fourth master to walk to the inner courtyard.

Although the fourth master found a suitable reason, he could not only convince the other party, but also convince himself, but he still walked to Rongyue Pavilion first, and comforted the eldest brother Honghui softly, and then walked to Yuehua Courtyard.

The eldest grandmother was sitting on the small pestle next to the bed to feed Erfu at this time, and when she saw the fourth master walk in, she was a little embarrassed and didn't know whether to get up or continue to feed. (To be continued......)
