Chapter 691

In the huge courtyard, I couldn't even hear the sound of footsteps. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Erfu wiped the teardrops on her face, looked down at Xiao Qi, whose eyes were red, pursed her lips and squeezed out a wry smile, turned her head and told Yaoqin to take care of Xiao Qi carefully, and then looked at the fourth master who was standing on the side, raised his hand and brushed his hair, took off the golden hairpin between his hair one by one, straightened the dusty clothes on his body, took a hard breath, suppressed the sourness that surged in his heart, pointed to the direction outside the door, raised his legs and walked towards the mourning hall.

The most bitter thing in the world is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person.

Although Erfu is still a young woman in her prime, she does feel this pain like the end of the world, she beat her spirits and came to the mourning hall, looking at the group of servants kneeling on the left and right, looking at a few of them who follow Hongxuan and Xiao Jiu every day, and smiled coldly at the corners of her mouth.

She was like a demon from hell at this time, she didn't need reason, she didn't need to care how precious life was, she only knew that her children, under the care of these people, had all contracted the epidemic overnight, and she didn't even see the last side and lay in the cold coffin.

She wouldn't allow these people to live!

Even if she understands that these things may not be related to all of them, but if she still lets them live, then where should she vent the devastating hatred in her heart!

"Pull all these people down, and kill them all with rods, and bury them with my son. Erfu hooked the corners of her lips, looked at the three rosewood spirit plaques placed side by side on the mourning hall, and commanded in a frightening voice with a calm face.

As soon as Erfu's voice fell, everyone who was waiting outside was shocked when they heard the voice, and then they saw the fourth master nodding calmly, and these people rushed into the mourning hall like wolves, dragging out the servants who were already kneeling and numb.

Crying for mercy, wailing, sobbing...... Like the most touching tune, pleasing Erph's sensitive nerves, which had already perverted in silence, she gently came to the coffin as if she was afraid of waking up her sleeping children, brushed the children's immature and cold cheeks one by one, and dropped a kiss full of love on the foreheads of each child, and then turned and came to the courtyard where the execution was being carried out.

"Shhhh

Her eyes swept over the eyes of fear, hatred, or begging for mercy like a knife, and she stepped to the bottom of the steps, and whispered as if talking to herself: "I ask myself to treat you all very compassionately, the monthly money you hold is the highest in the house, and the reward you get is the most in the house, even your children, relatives and friends, I have also given dignity, I used to think that if I treat you so kindly, you will inevitably treat my poor children as if they were your own children, but the result... ...

Scold...... I was wrong, I thought that human hearts are made of flesh, but you don't have hearts.

I remember saying countless times that as long as you treat them well, I will treat you as family, and now my children are going to leave so alone, I can't bear to be a mother, you are all my children's favorites, then I will send you to accompany them.

Don't worry, I won't be as ruthless as you, I won't let you separate your flesh and blood, you have children, I will send your children down to accompany you, you have parents alive, I won't let them experience the same pain as me. ”

With that, Erf turned around and returned to the mourning hall without looking at them again.

People are good and people don't deceive the sky, this sentence is obviously inaccurate, if she could have been ruthless in the past and didn't take life so seriously, her child would not have died.

Kneeling in the mourning hall decadently, Erfu called the girl who was offering incense beside her, turned her head to look at the fourth master who was staring at the execution under the corridor, brushed the broken hair in her ear with one hand, and ordered her to take a pair of sharp scissors, cut off a few strands of long hair, and buried them with several children.

According to the rules of the ancestors, the elders in the family are alive, and the funerals of the juniors cannot be done in a big way, Erfu doesn't know whether to thank the fourth master for his attention to the children, or to blame the fourth master for letting her face such a cruel scene in person, but she doesn't want to say a word to the fourth master, and she doesn't even want to hear the cause of the child's death.

It was too irresponsible for her to entrust a few children to Concubine De, but she couldn't let her not be angry with Concubine De, Concubine De Niangniang could raise the fourth master and the fourteenth master unharmed in the treacherous and more tragic struggle in the palace, in the heart of the old man Kangxi, occupy a weight that is not insignificant, and the means can be imagined, but if Concubine De can care more about a few children, they will not be lying in the coffin now.

"Ya'er, I have something to entrust to you. Hatred gnawed at Erph's fragile heart like tens of thousands of ants, and the pain of the distance made her forget to even cry, and she looked at the girl who was kneeling beside her and burned the paper with a dull gaze, and commanded very formally and carefully.

When the girl heard this, she hurriedly knelt down in front of Erfu and said respectfully: "The master has something to order." ”

"Are you someone I can trust?" asked Erph in a deep voice, staring sharply into her eyes.

Ya'er felt the formality in Erf's eyes, and replied very formally: "The slave doesn't dare to say how loyal she is to you, after all, the slave did come to you with some purposes before, but the slave is definitely not an ungrateful person, you spared the slave and the maid's life, and relied on the slave and the maid everywhere, the slave and the maid are all dead, and it is difficult to repay in case." ”

Erfu looked at Ya'er for a long time, and finally raised her hand, motioned for Ya'er to come forward with her ear, and explained a few words in a low voice, and then let her go down to prepare.

In the blink of an eye, after a whole night in the mourning hall, Erfu, who had not entered the water, listened to the footsteps that gradually sounded outside, shook her head vigorously, so that the groggy head was instantly sobered up a lot, and in the dim candlelight, dragging her unconscious legs, came to the hidden window, she looked at the coffin bearers who were already dressed neatly outside, and looked at the coffin on the mourning hall with nostalgia, and then fell on Yaoqin, who was full of worry, waved her hand, signaled her to open the closed door, and led the coffin bearers in。

The fourth master also followed the coffin bearers, and was the first to come to Erfu's side.

Since yesterday, Erfu has been like a different person, there is no temperature in his eyes, looking at him is like looking at a mortal enemy, full of condemnation and resentment, this feeling makes the fourth master very uncomfortable, Hongxuan and Xiao Jiu, Jiu'er's departure, he, as a father, is also full of bitterness and pain, but he can't leak out of emotions like Erf, he must suppress hatred and pain in his heart, who made him a man, but when Erf kicked him out of the mourning hall, he still panicked, he had a feeling that Erf was about to leave him, and the decisive eyes pierced into his already scarred heart like a sharp knife, and he was afraid that Erfu would follow the children like this...... He was sorry for Erf, he was sorry for the child, and from the moment he was kicked out of the mourning hall, he was begging God to give him a chance to ask Delph to forgive.

Now, once again, he was at Erph's side.

"It's time to seal the coffin, there's no need for the child to not even be able to leave the last decency. Erfu didn't even look at the fourth master, turned his head to look at the coffin that had been sealed, pulled the corners of his mouth, and muttered to himself.

Xu is to take care of her, who was born in the Guerjia Wang clan, Hongxuan and Jiu'er, the two boys, were canonized as the county king, and Xiao Jiu was also given the title of Princess Gulun, although they are all false names, but they also let a few children not be buried hastily.

Sitting in a soft sedan chair all the way, Erfu followed the coffin bearer, and came to the place where the mausoleum had been demarcated, which was a hillside that had been hastily leveled, next to the stream on the side of the mountain, and the three bamboo houses that were temporarily erected were the halls of enjoyment of the coffins and mortuaries of several children, and then the gorgeous halls and tombs were built, and Hongxuan they could officially enter the ground.

Erfu wore a plain white hat on his head, stood on a large bluestone on a high place, looked in the direction of the capital from afar, looked around left and right, personally stared at Yaoqin and others to arrange the incense, candles, paper money and other things to be used in the memorial service, and personally selected a few loyal and honest little eunuchs to stay here to take care of, and then returned to Zhuangzi without saying a word.

Xiao Qi, lying on the bed with tears in the corners of his eyes, pounced on Erfu as soon as he saw it.

"E-niang, I'm sorry E-niang, E-niang obviously asked me to take good care of my younger siblings, but I ......" Xiao Qi, who had already learned the meaning of death from the maid next to her, only felt full of guilt, crying that Erfu's entire clothes were soaked, so she choked up and said the sentence that pressed on her heart.

She remembered that when she was still very young, it should have been when she was just remembering, Erfu hugged her like that, leaned over to look at Hongxuan who was lying on the rocking bed biting her fingers and playing, and told her with a smile that the white and chubby doll was her younger brother, she was her younger brother's little sister, and she should take good care of her younger brother......

But she didn't even fulfill her responsibilities as a sister for a day.

This time, Erfu left Beijing, although she did not personally tell her, but handed over Xiaowen and Xiaoman to her for assignment, but she was too careless, forgetting that her younger brother and sister were ignorant children, and she couldn't even speak, and she also forgot that Hongxuan was Amma's favorite son, and she should leave Xiaowen and Xiaoman with her younger brother and sister.

Listening to Xiao Qi's intermittent words, Erfu glanced at the fourth master coldly, she gently brushed the top of Xiao Qi's hair, pulled over Xiao Qi's little face that was tightly attached to her arms, and said very solemnly: "Xiao Qi did a good job!"

Xiao Qi is still a child who already knows how to protect his younger brother and sister, E-Niang is very proud of Xiao-Qi, Hongxuan and Xiaojiu are too careless to leave, Xiaoqi can't have any more accidents, Xiaoqi must learn to be strong, only if we are happy, Hongxuan and Xiaojiu will feel relieved when they look at us in the sky......"

"E-niang doesn't blame Xiao Qi?" Xiao Qi raised his head with teary eyes and choked up.

Erfu shook her head with a smile, gently brushed Xiao Qi's cheek, kissed her tender head, looked at her bloodshot eyes very distressed, and told Yaoqin to take a wet veil, she carefully wiped the tears on Xiao Qi's face, and then gently took Xiao Qi back into her arms, humming an unknown tune in her mouth, coaxing Xiao Qi, who had not slept well and eaten well for a few days, to sleep, and after Xiao Qi was completely asleep, she turned her head to look at the fourth master, handed Xiao Qi to Yaoqin to take care of, and called the fourth master to come to the hall to talk.

This is the first time that Erfu has talked to the fourth master since returning to Beijing.

"Why didn't the child have it?" she asked straight to the point, without any buffer, firstly, because she didn't want to listen to the fourth master's explanations, and secondly, because she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted.

The fourth master frowned in embarrassment, pursed his lips, twisted his body uncomfortably, hesitated for a while, and then talked about the cause of death of the three children.

As Erf had guessed, the child's death was an accident.

Before Erf left, there had been an outbreak in Beijing. Although the doctors in the hospital have already developed a prescription for curing the disease, some frail old and weak women and children still have not survived, and Erfu also knows about this, and she also provides a large number of medicinal materials needed for treatment.

This time, Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er suddenly contracted the epidemic and ended up with such a result.

The palace is the most taboo this very contagious lesion, when the old man Kangxi was still the prince, he was moved out of the palace because of avoiding illness, if it were not for the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Su Malagu who have been refusing to give up, I am afraid that there will be no day when the old man Kangxi will come to the world.

And at this time, Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er will naturally be no exception.

When the imperial doctor confirmed that they were infected with the epidemic, they were escorted out of the palace by the palace people and sent to the Zhuangzi of the fourth master on the outskirts of Beijing.

Although outside the palace, there are four masters to take care of, but once there is an epidemic, Zhuangzi is completely closed, even if the fourth master is a prince, he can only tell those who come to see the children outside to be too careful, but he can't see the two sick children with his own eyes.

Hongxuan will appear here, and it will be another accident.

He overheard the eunuchs around him talk about the miserable experience of the palace people who were avoiding illness and worried about his younger siblings, so when he got up early and the dynasty would disperse, he hid in an official sedan chair as a descendant of the royal family, sneaked out of the Forbidden City, and even more familiarly touched the outside of Zhuangzi, and found Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er who were sick from a gap he had found before, as well as the grandmother next to the two children.

The epidemic is as fierce as a tiger, and this is definitely not an alarmist statement.

Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er were infant toddlers, to say something ugly, it was really a time when you would lose your life if you didn't pay attention to it, this time she was infected with the epidemic, that is, several grandmothers were very attentive to take care of it, and it was also thin into skin and bones in the blink of an eye, Hongxuan thought that he was a brother, where he was willing to just look at it and leave, so he recklessly stayed on Zhuangzi.

What happened later was what Erph saw.
