Chapter 406: Sweet Medicine
Chapter 406
"Flat, take a seat. The old man Kangxi twisted his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Niu Hulu, who was a little frivolous, and said lightly.
After speaking, he helped Concubine Tong Jia, turned around and walked to the banquet hall next to him.
The fourth master hurriedly followed, and at the same time sent a look at Erfu and the Ulanala clan, signaling the two of them to hurry up and send someone to send the Niu Hulu clan back, that is an unobtrusive scourge, maybe there will be some jokes.
Speaking of Niu Hulu's family, the fourth master is also very helpless.
Before, when this Gege first entered the palace, everything was normal, except for some people who couldn't talk but brains, but didn't make any jokes.
But since the birth of the child, he has been a little floating, even to the Ulanala clan, and he always shows contempt, The disdainful eyes are really disgusting when you look at it, he has been cold to Niu Hulu for a while, hoping that Niu Hulu can reflect on his own behavior and improve his morality, and I don't know if the fourth master is not obvious enough, or Niu Hulu's nerves are to the extreme, so long time has passed, outsiders have seen a few points, this party is still doing his own thing, and there is no improvement at all, which really makes the fourth master's heart stuffed to the extreme.
The Wulanala clan received the fourth master's eye signal, frowned and glanced at Niu Hulu, who was flattering at the fourth master, and Bafujin, Guo Luoluo, Luo and others who faintly showed a look of good play, and hurriedly sent a look to Mama Fu.
"Oops!" Niu Hulu was twisting the handkerchief to make a shy gesture, when he was suddenly hit by Mama Fu's waist and eyes, and the bottom of the flower pot under his feet could no longer maintain balance. couldn't help but let out a low cry, and as soon as his body was crooked, he fell to Yaoqin, and Yaoqin was relatively stable this time. Otherwise, Erfu will throw herself into Guo Luoluo's arms.
Wulanala pulled a handful of Erfu, supported Erfu's somewhat unstable figure, smiled apologetically at Bafujin Guo Luo Luo, turned around and walked to Niu Hulu's side, seemed to be very worried and looked down at her unsightly embroidered shoes at the bottom of the flower pot, turned his head to the close-up maid who was still standing stupidly beside Niu Hulu, and scolded coldly: "Why are you so careless." Why don't you hurry up and help your master go back to rest. ”
"Yes. The reprimanded maid hurriedly lowered her body, and hurriedly walked out with the help of Niu Hulu, who was still talking.
Such a small wave of riots at the door did not attract too many people's attention. It was the Bafujin Guo Luo Luo clan, who had been standing beside the Wulanala clan, and he had never noticed Mama Fu's small movements, let alone the Niu Hulu clan who was dragged out of the door by the maid in a daze.
Looking at the door that was gradually closing, Niu Hulu no longer struggled. Looming at Menelf and the others. With a wave of his small fist, he angrily stepped on the embroidered shoes at the bottom of the flower pot, which had been somewhat cracked, and limped down the path back to the courtyard.
"The fourth sister-in-law is really good to the sisters in the house, so that these things that can't be on the table don't know the rules so much. Bafujin, who followed behind the concubines with small steps, muttered in a low voice, and glanced at the Nian who followed next to him with disdain as he spoke, and there was a sense of speaking to her.
Ulanala pursed his lips and replied quietly. "Eight brothers and sisters just love nonsense. He walked two steps quickly to Concubine De's side. opened a distance from Guo Luo Luo's and beckoned a few ladies to take a seat.
On both sides of the translucent silk screen, the dishes are different.
At the table where the old man Kangxi sits, the table is a number of exquisite dishes made of meat and vegetarian dishes, the wine that accompanies the meal is mellow pear blossom white and dry red that has been cellared for three years, and the whole set of utensils is blue and white porcelain from the official kiln, which is plain and elegant, refined, and everywhere reveals the elegance of the people.
The two tables where Concubine De Niangniang and Erfu and others are sitting, the table is a hundred flowers feast with all kinds of flowers and exquisite plating, the wine side dishes are grape juice and cherry wine, and the tableware of various colors is made of gold and colored porcelain, and the wine jug and wine glass are carved from crystal, and the halo emitted by the octagonal glazed palace lamp hanging on the beam complements each other, which is particularly crystal clear and shining.
Because there was something wrong with the expected number of people, Erfu and Li, who were supposed to accompany the Wulanala clan to accompany the guests at Concubine De's table, had to sit with a few Gege, so that the Wulanala clan fought alone.
Erfu sipped her drink and talked to Li and the others, while paying attention to the table with her spare eyes.
Seeing that the confrontation between the Wulanala clan and the Guo Luo Luo clan was a little reluctant, Erfu not only regretted that he did not send an invitation to Fujin, who had befriended several princes with the fourth master, so that the Wulanala clan also had a helper.
"Sister Guerjia, why don't you move your chopsticks?" asked Li with a pretended innocent smile, raising his chopsticks and pointing to a celery lily, his small eyes swishing outward, as if to say that there was something bad in the dish arranged by Erfu.
"You can't eat anything. Erfu glanced at the direction of the fourth master, and said coldly, "What day is this, you should know, don't be sent back like Niu Hulu's family, and end up staying alone in an empty room like that." ”
After speaking, Erfu didn't look at Li's, and told Yaoqin to make a dish for herself, bow her head and fill her stomach, I don't know when I will be busy today, she won't be unable to get along with her own stomach.
At the banquet, the big guys all whispered and laughed loudly, but it was quite harmonious, and there was nothing bad to do, even Li, who has always liked to be a shit-stirring stick, shut up after saying that sentence, and kept staring at a small plate of rose tofu in front of him.
Because there are several interesting activities such as listening to operas and watching lanterns in the evening, everyone plans to take advantage of the second half of the day to go back to rest and rest, and they don't delay much work at the table.
......
Returning to his own place, sitting on the big kang full of sunlight, Erfu felt that he could finally breathe air freely, and his nerves, which had been tense for most of the day, suddenly relaxed. I only felt that the bones in my body were sore and sore, and even my brain was painful, and I hurriedly beckoned Yaoqin to go to the small kitchen to decoct the medicine. At the same time, he curled his legs onto the kang and pulled the quilt that was baked warm by the sun to lie down and take a nap.
"Da Lang, drink the medicine and go to sleep again!" Half-asleep and half-awake, she seemed to see Pan Jinlian, who was dressed in red and green, coming to the side of the bed with a coarse porcelain bowl, calling in a charming voice, so frightened that her eyes were round all of a sudden, and she leaned on the kang cabinet with her arms propped up. Panting for breath.
Yaoqin was taken aback by Erfu's reaction, and even the blackened decoction in the medicine bowl she was holding in her hand spilled out and landed on the woolen carpet as white as snow. It is particularly glaring.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Yaoqin asked uncomfortably as she put the medicine bowl on the kang table and stuffed a soft pillow behind Erfu's waist.
Erff waved her hand weakly. There was no intention to explain her seemingly somewhat comical behavior. Pointing to the steaming medicine bowl, he said softly: "I seem to have a fever, I have to drink the medicine quickly and sweat, otherwise I will not be able to resist it this night." ”
"Master, be careful. Looking at Erfu, who used to drink medicine and had to be coaxed by others, she actually drank the medicine into her stomach in a few sips, Yaoqin couldn't help but remind worriedly, that she looked a little more nagging than the housekeeper's wife.
"......" Erf wordlessly twisted the handkerchief and wiped the medicine residue from the corner of her mouth. looked at Yaoqin's bitter and hateful face, and finally showed a heartfelt smile. "You're so nagging, I'm really worried that you won't be able to get married!"
"Master...... "Although Yaoqin's age is not younger than Erfu, in the end, it is an unmarried girl's family, listening to Erfu teasing her with such words as marrying, and seeing Guzheng snickering on the side, her little face turned red all of a sudden, and her cheeks seemed to be coated with two rouges, and she actually showed a little shyness, stomping her feet and coquettishly.
Erfu glared at the guzheng who covered his mouth and snickered next to him, and then looked at Yaoqin, who was extremely ashamed, and pointed to the ticking self-striking bell on the Bogu shelf with a flattering smile, and made a gesture of surrender, "It's my reckless speech as the master, even if Yaoqin wants to drop the bookbag with me to talk about etiquette, you have to look at the time, or hurry up and move the kang table, let me rest well!"
Yaoqin saw that Erfu's eyebrows were full of exhaustion, and even her voice was a little hoarse, and the little shame in her heart disappeared, so she hurriedly walked to the kang table by the side of the kang, moved the kang table on the kang to the position of the kang tip, and took the silk quilt on the kang on the north side and put it on Erfu, so as not to catch a cold with a small brocade quilt, so she went out with the medicine bowl.
Gu Zheng also took advantage of the time to wring a wet cloth out of the clean room, and carefully cleaned up the woolen carpet stained with medicine on the ground.
In the warm pavilion, calm was restored all of a sudden, and Erfu fell asleep again groggily, and sent the old man Kangxi and the eighth child back to the fourth master who rested in the front yard guest house, and when he dragged his tired body into the warm pavilion, he saw such a beautiful scene like a picture scroll.
In the warm pavilion with bright windows, the warm sunlight of early spring, through the crystal clear glass windows and the smoke-like smoke screen screen, sprinkled on Erfu's porless white face and the dark red embroidered mandarin duck pattern dark pattern brocade quilt, creating a rainbow-like gorgeous halo.
The sleeping and tranquil Erfu was like a sleeping beauty, her lips pursed slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if waiting for the arrival of the prince who belonged to her, attracting all the attention of the fourth master, and she was stunned in an instant.
"Don't hurry up and serve tea to our master!" Su Peisheng didn't notice that the fourth master's attention was on Erfu, but the fourth master was a little drunk because he was drinking at the banquet, and hurriedly commanded in a shrill voice.
As soon as Su Peisheng's sharp eunuch voice fell, the fourth master was already sitting next to Erfu.
"Master, please use tea ......" Yaoqin hurriedly stepped forward with a tray of gaiwan tea and said in a low voice.
The fourth master raised his hand to signal Yaoqin and Guzheng to be exempt, reached out and touched Erfu's delicate skin, and asked with some worry: "Why did your master sleep so deeply? Su Peisheng was so noisy, she didn't wake up!"
"The master Xu had a cold again, and he drank the medicine and lay down. Yaoqin said slightly.
"You all go down!" The fourth master nodded when he heard this, reached out and took the tea bowl and took a sip, and said in a deep voice, "Erfu has a master here to guard it." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to send away Su Peisheng, who was still talking, took off his boots, clinged to Erfu, who was sleeping soundly wrapped in the quilt, stuffed a backrest between the back and the kang cabinet, pulled the corner of the quilt to cover the feet that were only wearing plain white muslin socks, stretched out relaxedly, took a book of words that Erfu used to pass the time, and looked at it quietly.
Erfu slept soundly this night, and when she woke up, she looked at the fourth master lying on her side with Kazuki, and she was still a little unclear about day and night, obviously she was already asleep.
I don't know if the fourth master also woke up so coincidentally, or if Erfu's movements woke up the fourth master who was sleeping, Erfu was about to put the quilt on the fourth master, so as not to let the fourth master fall asleep so cold, half of his body was still hanging on the fourth master, the fourth master suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of laziness in his voice, and said in a low voice: "You woke up!"
"Why don't you let someone cover you with a quilt, what if it's frozen!" Erf withdrew her hand in embarrassment, and muttered pretending to be calm.
"My body is good, unlike you, a little wind and cold will lead to coughing and runny nose!" The fourth master sat up straight, grabbed Erfu, who was talking with a red face, reached out and touched Erfu's head, and felt that the temperature had dropped, so he breathed a sigh of relief, pinched Erfu's little nose, and teased with a smile.
Just now, the fourth master was looking at the book boring, and he heard Erfu in his sleep like a nightmare, and when he looked sideways, Erfu's face was flushed, her brows were frowning and trembling in the quilt, and she hurriedly raised her hand to touch her forehead.
It didn't matter if she touched it, Erf's forehead was a little hot.
The fourth master twisted the handkerchief to cool her down, and asked Yaoqin to take the quilt to keep her warm for a long time, so that Erfu could no longer tremble, but the fourth master couldn't read anything in this book, and kept staring at her face, for fear that Erfu would be uncomfortable again, so he stared at Erfu's face and fell asleep in a daze.
"You know how to laugh at me!" Erph twisted her body a little shyly.
"Yaoqin, send the medicine over!" Hearing this, the fourth master pulled his shoes and went down to the ground, took the coat hanging on the hanger next to the floor cover, carefully draped it for Erfu, and helped Erfu to sit on the soft pillow, and then called loudly.
The old man Kangxi and the concubines are all in the house, and the fourth master is not good at tossing Imperial Doctor Hu rashly, and he is not worried about Erfu's body, so he has been asking Yaoqin to warm the medicine that Erfu drank, just waiting for Erfu to drink it again as soon as he wakes up, lest the sun go down after a while, the temperature is low, and Erfu is frostbitten again.
Yaoqin responded and walked into the warm pavilion with a tray of medicine bowls.
The fourth master didn't let others interfere, and directly took the medicine bowl that was still a little hot and sent it to Erfu's mouth.
Erfu wanted to take the medicine bowl, but seeing that the fourth master insisted on not letting go, he had to drink it with the fourth master's hand, and the bitter medicinal soup seemed to have become a little sweet with the handsome and upright fourth master next to him. (To be continued.) )
