Chapter 1216

The Shouwei Mansion is the residence of Ding Zhisheng, the general of the Shouwei.

Beyond the pair of stone lions standing at the entrance, crossing the frighteningly high threshold, and bypassing the shadow wall inside, there is the main hall where Ding Zhisheng handles military affairs and the wings and courtyards where the generals' staff live.

Erfu, as a messenger, casually brought the guards and the Imperial Forest Army, and also entered the general's mansion together.

She stood at the foot of the steps in front of the main hall, and said with a smile: "I'll wait for the long way to come, the carriage and horses are tired, just when we need to rest, and ask General Ding to arrange a small servant to guide the way, and send us to wash and clean up, after all, such a dusty person is really uncomfortable!"

"This is the negligence of the last general, and the last general will arrange for someone to send you to the next guest house to rest. ”

After speaking, Ding Zhisheng waved to the distance, and a guard in military uniform came over to see Erfu and the others to rest.

The guest courtyard of the General's Mansion is not far from the main hall of the General's Mansion, with a wide area of five rooms, a regulated courtyard equipped with a wing room, an inverted seat, and a back cover room, and a standard four-entry courtyard.

The main house, naturally, is the residence of Erf.

The area is five rooms wide, and it is enough for her and her close attendants to live.

As for the Imperial Forest Army who came with him, he was arranged by Erfu to the east and west wings, accompanied by Master Fu Naifu, and Chen Fu and Chen Gonggong occupied a small room exclusively, and gave several large rooms with large kang shops to the Royal Forest Army, although it was not comfortable enough, but it was enough for them to live in the more than ten Royal Forest Army.

On the contrary, the guards that Erfu brought out from the capital were pitifully piled up in the inverted seat room and the back cover room.

"Let those guards and the guards wash and rest first, let's wait a while, this way will be bitter for them, running around outside all day, can't even eat a serious meal, come to General Ding's mansion at this time, and even can't mix with a big shop, you can only roll your luggage and make a bunk on the floor, it's miserable enough!" Erfu, who was changing clothes in the inner room, saw that Shilan was about to go outside to fetch water with the basin, and hurriedly blocked the way.

"Master, I've just wronged you!" Shilan put down the basin and returned to Erf's side to serve, saying with a bitter face.

Erfu untied the shackles on his chest, wore a loose middle coat, sat on the edge of the bed, and laughed at himself with a bit of bitterness: "What grievances are not wronged, let go of a good life, but it is your master and I who have to come here, in order to be able to come here and see the fourth master faster, I am the one who has even broken through the Qianqing Palace."

What is this little suffering?

This means that the emperor is open-minded enough, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to squat in the black prison of the Zongren Mansion at this time, waiting for you to come and bring food to your master!" After speaking, she carried the water bladder that she brought into the house and poured it into her mouth with a grunt.

Drinking water, she didn't forget to beat her thighs.

This horse galloping, looking chic, but it is really sinful, especially the thighs and little buttocks, which are almost calloused by the saddle, not to mention her old waist that is not resistant to tossing, she can still sit here and chat with Shilan at this time, it must be said that she has strong willpower, otherwise she would have been lying on the bed and did not dare to move.

"Master, why don't you lie down and rest for a while, the slave maid will beat your body for you!" Qing Dai, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, saw Erfu's movements and suggested softly.

"It's not easy for you to come with me all the way, so rest for a while!" Erff refused with a smile.

"Slaves and maids are not tired, slaves and maids have been practicing fist and foot kung fu with the masters of the school of the Internal Affairs Office since they were children, and they have long been used to it. ”

"Cheng, if you say you're not tired, then I won't be polite to you, in the past two days, we don't need to go outside anymore, you can also take turns to rest!" Erfu was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't refuse again, she lay on the bed with a smile, hugged the soft pillow with both hands, turned her head to the side and said to Shilan and the others who had already followed their own orders, and asked everyone to sit down.

"The slave and the maid thank the master and feel distressed. When Shilan and the others heard this, they replied in unison.

"Forget about this fake model, you are all people close to me, I must feel sorry for you. ”

"Master, you bear with it, the slave maid will press your waist for you first, if this waist is comfortable, your body and bones will be a lot more comfortable, and after a while, the slave and maid will rub some ointment on the worn places for you, so that you can rest for two days, it is estimated that those wounds will be healed, and you will not be uncomfortable when you ride a horse again!" Qingdai said while uncovering the clothes around Erfu's waist, and poured the medicinal oil in her hand into the palm of her hand.

"Now your master, my hundred and ten pounds of physique is up to you. Erff lay on the pillow, already drowsy, and replied in a daze to Qing Dai's proposal.

Qing Dai has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she has a lot of strength in her hands, and she has an accurate grasp of the degree, so she pressed Erfu to wail as soon as she got started, it really hurts, but after the unbearable soreness, some of them are innumerable comfort, and with the cool and hot medicinal oil, the taste is ...... Not to mention how sour.

However, I have to admit that the massage skills of Qingdai are very good, better than Qinglan, who has followed the Tai Medicine for a few hands, and she was stunned to press Erfu to sleep.

If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't washed yet, if it weren't for the smell of sweat on her body, I would have fallen asleep like this.

After a stick of incense, Qingdai stopped massaging Erfu.

She gently removed Erf's lower pants, especially the close-fitting trousers, which were soaked with water and wiped with medicated powder, and she tossed a bowl of tea for a long time, so that she took off the little pants that had been stuck to Erf's body with blood without hurting Erf.

On the roots of Erf's thighs and small buttocks, the blisters that had been touched by the saddle a few days ago had already been worn out, and there was a trace of white marks in the redness and swelling, and the blood and the water in the blisters were mixed together, with a somewhat unpleasant smell, accompanied by a faint swelling and pain, and there was really an unbearable pain and itching sensation at the slightest touch, especially when the lower body was not covered with a wisp, which made Erf very insecure.

Fortunately, Qingdai medicated her very quickly, and the ointment had already been prepared at hand, and in a tea time, the injuries on her thighs and little buttocks were all treated.

"Master, let's change your clothes, it can be more comfortable. The original soiled clothes and pants could not be put on, Shilan was busy turning over the burden she brought, and took out a pair of neat and new fine silk shorts from the innermost part of the special place, and found a complete set of Chinese clothes to prepare, and waited until Qing Dai retreated to the side with a tray full of bottles and cans of medicine bottles, she helped Erfu who was lying on her stomach, and persuaded softly.

She was also afraid of running away Erf's sleepiness.

Others don't know, they are the closest people around Erfu, how can they not know how hard Erfu is all the way, they have to follow those reckless men during the day, running around looking for the traces of the fourth master, and they have to be idle at night, and they have to light the lamp and boil oil with Chen Fu to look through the news sent by Bai Jiaotuo, and this way, Erfu's cheeks are so thin that they are sunken.

It's rare for her master to be sleepy and tired to rest on the bed for a while, how can she bear to disturb her......

Erfu stretched out her arms in a daze, rarely gave up the principle of doing it herself, let Shilan put on her clothes for herself, and took the Wen cloth that Shiqing had wrung to wipe her face, without the idea of washing and bathing at all, she gathered her clothes indiscriminately, and then fell back on the bed.

Although Ding Zhisheng deliberately let her hang outside the city for a long time, he did not treat Erfu and his party badly in terms of food and accommodation.

At least the bedding under Erfu is soft and dry, and it looks like it has been specially baked in a smokebasket, otherwise how could there be such a comfortable experience in this place where the sea breeze is scattered.

However, Erfu didn't have the energy to thank Ding Zhisheng personally, she couldn't even open her eyes now, closed her eyes and instructed Shilan: "You will run to the main hall for me in a while, thank General Ding Zhisheng Ding on my behalf, and then pick a suitable gift for us from the capital, if you can't make up your mind, then go to Chen Fu to help you with the details, I'll sleep for a while, you are busy with work, you should rest!"

After saying that, she pulled the quilt and turned over, and fell asleep in a daze.

And what about General Ding Zhisheng Ding, who was sitting behind the long table in the main hall next to him......

He was not idle, and when he saw Erfu and his party disappear at the door of the guest house, he sent someone to invite the staff and generals of the palace into the main hall, and studied the reason why this Lord Ling Zhu came to the Chongwu City Guard.

Some people say: It may be that the Ministry of War wants to regain military power.

Some people said: It may be that the saint listened to the slander and felt that he Ding Zhisheng Ding General had a thief heart to come to investigate.

In the end, an inconspicuous little staff member mentioned the disappearance of the fourth and fourteenth masters mentioned in the previous newspaper.

This is a white-faced scholar who is over thirty years old, he has not been valued by General Ding Zhisheng Ding for a long time when he first arrived here, and even his speech has been ranked last, but he is indeed the first smart person to peek into the sky, but he also doesn't believe in his own judgment, and speculates with a little apprehension: "General, the villain thinks that Qin Cha has a Beijing accent, and he came from Zhangzhou Mansion, coupled with his behavior, and he is accompanied by an old eunuch who is serving closely, this should not be some imperial relatives who came to look for Prince Yong and Fourteen Baylor!"

"If he was a relative of the emperor, he wouldn't have come to us, and he wouldn't have to wait for the letter in the city. ”

"Yes, those nobles in the capital, all of them are pampered masters, how can they come to us to blow the sea breeze and eat sea sand, isn't this looking for guilt, unless this is the prince of Yong and the relatives of the fourteenth beyler.

But you have also seen the holy decree that came from the city, the person who came was surnamed Niu Hulu, that is, the emperor's relatives, that should also be the Chengjun Wang's lineage, I have ever said from the procurement office from the capital that the relationship between the Chengjun King and the Yong Prince is incompatible, if it is really the royal relatives of the Chengjun Wang's lineage, who can bother to find it so hard. ”

"Mr. Mao, what you said is extremely true.

In my opinion, he came here to loot the people's wealth, otherwise what would he do in our poor and remote place!"

"You also said, we are a poor and remote place, and if you go north, it is not as prosperous as ours, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the officials over there are all rich and greedy predators, he wants to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, and he should go there to find those fat ducks!"

All the staff members present, with a word from you and a word from me, were stunned to suppress the only staff member with real insight.

Everyone discussed for half an hour, but they didn't come up with a reliable answer.

Ding Zhisheng looked at the staff members who were about to roll up their arms and sleeves together, waved his hand, and sent them all out a little helplessly, he turned his head to look at Liao Wenqing, the deputy general who had been poking at the background wall next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Do you say I want to send him something to probe the wind!"

"I think this method is reliable, and it's a fantasy for us to sit here and guess. Liao Wenqing heard this and replied respectfully.

Ding Zhisheng slapped the table heavily, had an idea, and said loudly: "Cheng, then let's do it."

I remember that a few days ago, someone didn't take out a few rare black pearls from the sea, and I saw that the Lord Qincha even came to us with a few handsome maids to serve, and I thought that those maids were all his valued rooms, and he should be able to know a lot of his secrets, so let's take those pearls to please them.

Actually, I really don't care to do this kind of thing, but we have worked hard here for more than ten years, and we finally got a foothold here, and I don't want to be transferred to another place to start all over again. ”

It's just that in the end, he couldn't help but complain.

"My general, the official is a senior who crushes people to death, not to mention that the one who comes to us is the Qin messenger who goes directly to the imperial front, and we are not ashamed to please him. "Liao Wenqing has been by Ding Zhisheng's side since he was a soldier, and he knows Ding Zhisheng's character best, their general has a straight personality, otherwise with his military exploits, it would be impossible for him to be sent by those bigwigs and officials of the Ministry of War to such a place where birds don't......

Ding Zhisheng has long been past the time when he is young and vigorous, that is, he just complains in private.

After he finished speaking, he had already resigned himself to asking Liao Wenqing to go to the library to find a few black pearls that he had planned to give to his wife at home to make new jewelry, and asked Liao Wenqing to prepare some snacks, melons and fruits and local shell bonsai, and walked to the guest house next to him with his head bowed.

It was only halfway through that he had a meeting with Shilan.

In Shilan's hand, like Liao Wenqing, she was holding a tray covered with red silk cloth, and she looked like she was coming to give gifts, which made Ding Zhisheng a little confused.

If it were according to the guesses of those staff, then Lord Chincha should have waited for himself to come over and give gifts.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Liao Wenqing, the deputy general who was following him, and said in a low voice: "It seems that there is something wrong with our thinking!"

"It seems like that's the case, what should I do now?" Liao Wenqing nodded in agreement.

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, what else can be done, you can't go back. Ding Zhisheng replied angrily, trying to squeeze out a smiling face and greet Shilan and passed.

Shilan looked at General Ding Zhisheng Ding, who was smiling like a wild chrysanthemum blooming in front of her, and shrunk her neck as if she had met a rabbit with a big eagle, and she wondered what kind of trick this general was playing......
