When it comes to the Chinese New Year, one of the things that must be mentioned is to prepare for the New Year.

There are many servants in the fourth master's mansion, and other things are handled by servants, but the New Year's gifts to the palace and the mansions must be selected by Erfu himself, I still remember the panic of her first time with the Wulanala clan Zhang Luo's New Year's ceremony, and now even the eldest grandmother is not in the house, thinking of preparing by herself, she is really a little worried, so worried that she even forgot the slightly bitter taste of Sangju's drink, holding the bowl, and drank it in two sips.

The mulberry chrysanthemum drink was freshly cooked by Shilan in a small crockpot and brought directly from the kitchen, and the temperature can be imagined......

"Hiss......" After realizing it, Dierfu covered his mouth, gasped, pointed to the teapot on the kang table, and couldn't say a word, and finally the fourth master was the first to react, poured a cup of slightly hot tea, carefully fed Erfu to drink, and checked the burns in his mouth for Erfu.

Erff opened her mouth, tears and snot flowing, she didn't care about any beauty and demeanor, and commanded in a hoarse voice: "Why don't you go and get me some ice cubes, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts me!"

"Fortunately, it's not as serious as you imagined, and you're really careless!" At this time, the fourth master also saw the burn in Erfu's mouth clearly, he sat back in his seat, and said softly with a feeling of happiness for the rest of his life.

This is thanks to the low temperature outside, this freshly cooked mulberry chrysanthemum drink brought from the kitchen, the heat is really hot, but it is not so hot, otherwise the momentum of Erfu Niu chewing peony and Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, the throat will already be hot and hoarse at this time.

It's a pity that Erfu, who can't see what the situation is in her mouth, is still flustered, her liver trembles and is uncomfortable, and she sees that the fourth master not only comforts herself, but counts her own inappropriateness, and the grievances in her heart can no longer be suppressed, crying and throwing herself on the fourth master, a pair of hands like a sharp knife pulling the brocade robe on the fourth master's body, quite a bit of a wicked woman's posture......

"Oops......" The unsuspecting fourth master was caught by Erfu like this......

A navy blue brocade robe embroidered with a treasure pattern was caught by Erfu when he landed, and the gilded copper buckle that was originally tied well was also torn open......

Such a scene was full of impact, Shilan hurriedly curtsied, and bowed her head and retreated out with the tray.

"Don't go. Erfu, who had had enough trouble, didn't know how ambiguous her and the fourth master's current posture was, she gasped, pulled the broken hair hanging on both sides of her cheeks, pulled her throat to call Shilan who was leaving, and jumped off the big kang near the window as soon as she raised her legs, and ran over to Shilan.

On a plate not too big plain silver engraved with twig lace, two or three layers of Xiaoice cubes half an inch square were stacked.

"It's so cold, it's so cold!" Erfu casually took the silver plate that Shilan was carrying, twisted a piece of ice with two fingers and threw it into her mouth, feeling the coolness of the slightly sweet taste in her mouth, the corners of her mouth that had been tense raised a beautiful arc, and muttered vaguely.

The fourth master, who was left behind by Erfu, silently tidied up the scattered robes, with a black face, and coaxed Shilan, who was still stunned in place, out directly, and rushed to Erfu's side in three or two steps, and Erfu, who was still stuffing ice cubes in his mouth, returned to the side of the kang, and told Su Peisheng to go to the front yard to ask for a doctor through the window, and began to give a political lesson to the willful Erfu.

It's really annoying......

However, Erfu, who felt weak and short of breath, did not dare to resist, so he could only listen with a frown, throwing cold and sweet ice cubes into his mouth one by one, calming the angry villain who could not be suppressed in his heart, and at the same time sincerely looking forward to the Tai Doctor on duty in the Tibetan Medicine Courtyard in the front yard coming soon, as long as the Tai Doctor came, the fourth master had to stop nagging.

Just when she decided that she couldn't bear it anymore and didn't need to endure it anymore, the fourth master stopped nagging her, and at the same time snatched the silver plate that she was holding tightly and didn't let go, and didn't let her put ice cubes in her mouth to relieve the pain, and persuaded: "Don't eat it, the ice spoils the body." ”

"It hurts. Erfu's complaining little eyes eagerly looked at the silver plate that was thrown on the table by the fourth master, and muttered.

"Bear with me, wait for a while for the imperial doctor to come and see it for you, and he will definitely prescribe you a pain-relieving ointment. The fourth master grabbed Erfu's slender shoulders and coaxed gently.

Erf sneered at this, but she no longer ate ice cubes to relieve the pain, because her mouth was numb from the ice.

After waiting for a while, Su Peisheng, who trotted all the way to the front yard to ask for a doctor, came back, and Su Peisheng came with a gray-haired Imperial Doctor Hu, poor Imperial Doctor Hu still ran at full speed at his age, but compared to the imperial doctors who served in the palace, he was already lucky, so he didn't have any complaints, at most he just breathed for a while.

By the time Imperial Physician Hu followed Shilan into the warm pavilion of the upper room, the breath had not yet evened out!

In this case, the scald does not need to take the pulse, let alone prescribe medicine, as long as the scald cream that has been prepared long ago is pulled out of the medicine box on his shoulder, but the person who was burned is the prince of the Prince's Mansion, this process must be walked, otherwise it will inevitably appear that he is a little unconcerned about being a doctor, and it will also appear that he is not professional enough, so he was stunned by the pressure of being threatened by the eyes of the fourth master like knives and arrows, and tossed a cup of tea, only then did he take out the ointment he had prepared, and left a prescription to clear the heat and remove the fire, and left the solemn atmosphere of the main courtyard。

The porcelain bowl with a blue twig pattern on a white background is filled with an amber-like dark brown translucent ointment, which is not delicious when you look at it.

Erfu tentatively picked up a trace of ointment with her fingernails, licked it with the tip of her tongue, and the corners of her lips that were slightly raised just now twitched uncontrollably, she looked at the fourth master who was sitting beside her and watched the show with a bitter face, and stretched out Erkang's hand as if asking for help, and muttered with a little choked: "It's so bitter, it's so bitter." ”

"Bear with me, Imperial Doctor Hu said that as long as you apply it twice, and with the decoction that clears away heat and fire, it won't take three days to heal this little injury in your mouth. In this regard, the fourth master said that he had no choice, the medicine was bitter, not to mention these ointments that should have been used for trauma treatment, but he still explained, lest Delph say that he didn't care about her, and he was helpless, why was this spoiled little girl so unreasonable!

The scald cream prepared by Imperial Doctor Hu is mainly composed of heat-clearing drugs such as coptis, papaya, borneol, honeysuckle, etc., and the taste is not particularly unpleasant, after all, he already knew before he came over that the place where Erfu was burned was the mouth, how could he choose that kind of ointment with a very strange taste, it must be to choose an ointment with a milder taste and can be taken orally.

Because of this, when Erfu was lying on the side of the kang with anxiety and taking medicine, she didn't feel pain or discomfort, and she didn't feel the strange taste she was worried about, but she couldn't drink tea and eat snacks freely, and because she had been drugged in her mouth, saliva kept secreting, which made her a little uncomfortable, and then she complained unreasonably about the fourth master next to her." It's all your fault, if you hadn't kept distracting me, I wouldn't have drunk such a hot mulberry drink, and if you hadn't been nagging me, I wouldn't have let Shilan cook the mulberry drink......"

"If you don't feel well, don't say anything, otherwise you'll have to retake the medicine in a while!" the fourth master replied calmly.

This pierces the heart......

Erfu rolled her eyes speechlessly, rolled to the side with a soft pillow, and pinched the tassel falling in the corner of the pillow with self-pity, and complained to the fourth master with her eyes.

Get up early to accept many concubines in the backyard to come to ask for peace, and even failed to finish a meal of Ansheng, so she ushered in waves of messenger eunuchs, and has been tossing until now, she is also a little tired, this sleep, she forgot the burns in her mouth, and also forgot the gold coins she threw in the treasury that she didn't have time to clean up, and Shilan and the others were busy, and they also forgot to check whether the warehouse in the back cover room that was dedicated to storing large things such as furniture and furnishings was locked, so when she slept enough, she got up from the quilt in good spirits, and waited for a bad news。

- Of the thousands of gold coins she threw at random on the felt carpet, there were only a few left.

"I didn't expect that there was a thief in our main courtyard, you lead Shilan and them to check and inspect from house to house, try to find it, if you really can't find it, don't worry, your master and my family have a big business, this little bit of bits and pieces, your master can afford to throw it away." Erfu vaguely arranged the errand, picked up the tea that had been dried on the tea table, took a sip, and directly instructed Qinglan to go to the small kitchen to pass the meal.

When she ate the food carefully cooked by Xiao Shengzi slowly and methodically, there was chaos in the back room.

Although Erfu told not to care too much, just look for it if you can find it, and forget it if you can't find it, but how could Shilan and the others not take this kind of thing to heart, after all, the palace maids and servants who are qualified to go in and out of the small backyard are all the people who serve Erfu in front of her, such a person with unclean hands and feet, how can Shilan and others rest assured that he/she will serve in the main courtyard, if someone else gets her/his handle, this is a bomb that may be exploded at any time.

After a little discussion, Shilan and the others found the four or five little eunuchs who lived on the other side of the inverted room.

Because these people are not qualified to enter the main courtyard of the main courtyard, it is impossible for them to be thieves who steal gold coins, and these little eunuchs are too inconspicuous, and it is impossible to be co-opted and bribed, and they are used to check the thieves in the courtyard, which is really suitable, but these people are too inconspicuous, and they are usually low-level miserable people who are supported by them, and they are beaten and scolded and punished by other high-level palace maids and servants, and it is also commonplace.

After a while, he pulled out a little housekeeper's mother's private entrainment;

After a while, a palace maid was found to have a relationship with someone......

After coming and going, there was chaos in the back room, and the movement inevitably spread to the upper room in front, Erfu had a bitter face, swallowed the last mouthful of red dates and purple rice porridge with discomfort, wrung her brows and wiped the corners of her lips, raised her hand and beckoned Qinglan, who had been waiting outside, to take the cloak, put on it by herself, and walked out.

Facing the icy north wind, she walked helplessly into the noisy backyard.

"What's going on?" Erph twisted her eyebrows, and greeted Shilan who was surrounded by several people with an impatient face, and asked in a deep voice, she was really impatient, although the hot part of her mouth had been medicated, but it was not a panacea, it was impossible to use it, and it would be uncomfortable to even swallow saliva, let alone talk......

She felt a tingling sensation in her mouth all the time...... How to make her have a good face!

Obviously, Shilan and the others also realized that their errand was broken, and they didn't dare to distinguish it, let alone care that there was a hard and cold bluestone path under them, and they knelt on the ground one after another, with a style of admitting and admitting punishment, and hung their heads silently, but those who were found out by the little eunuch and found out the unbearable secrets hidden under the glamour could not be so willing to be wronged, and then Shilan and the others also knelt in front of Erfu, and complained about Diao.

These little housekeepers and palace maids who usually take care of a bunch of things are proud of their identities, and it is impossible to deal with those little eunuchs who can't get on the stage, but it is impossible to let go of Shilan and others, especially those second- and third-class palace maids who are looking forward to Shilan and others vacating the place, so these people with different purposes huddled together without ventilation, and directly fixed the culprit on Shilan and others, and the person who was targeted the most was Yujie who parachuted into the house.

In this regard, Erf was very helpless and speechless.

She raised her hand to greet Qinglan, and casually ordered: "Go and move a chair for Ben Fujin, and then move a charcoal stove, Ben Fujin will judge right and wrong for these people today, see whose fault it is, and see who is so bold and unruly......"

After speaking, she shook off the servants who were still going to hug her thighs and cry about her grievances, and walked to the porch of the back cover room.

After a while, Qinglan didn't know which room she was from, and she really dragged out a cushioned Taishi chair, and the little shengzi who had been busy in the kitchen was not idle, I don't know if it was voluntary, or was ordered, leading the fire girl to bring two charcoal stoves, and just now I felt that a gust of cold wind drilled into it from the hem and gap of the cloak, and Erfu was surrounded by warmth when he landed.

It's a pity that the warmth didn't bring Erfu a good mood, anyone who was pulled out of the warm room like spring, it was inevitable that he would feel a little uncomfortable, not to mention the long-pampered Erfu children's shoes, not to mention that she was unwell, she had a cold face, looked at the servants who were still crying and entangled, and scolded coldly: "You all get up, don't kneel, let people see, it is estimated that Ben Fujin will treat people harshly."
