Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 37 years

september afternoon

The fourth elder brother was sitting in the pavilion in the East Garden reciting a book of the Sixth Patriarch Altar Sutra. Su Wei leaned on his chin, his eyes were already narrowed, and he kowtowed his head from time to time.

"Hey!" The fourth elder brother knocked on the table with the Buddhist scroll, startling the half-asleep Eunuch Su, "Can you listen carefully? The Buddha's proverbs are very wise."

Su Wei pouted, "What's the use of great wisdom for me as an eunuch? Being an eunuch is already sad enough, I don't want to change careers and become a monk."

"What a mess," the fourth elder brother couldn't bear to knock him on the head, "you are lazy!"

Su Wei rubbed his forehead in grievance, and was about to argue with reason when he saw Zhang Bao rushing over, "Master, the crown prince is here."

Su Wei hurried all the way to the main courtyard with the fourth elder brother, and the prince had already been introduced by Xiao Yingzi to open the door.

"Yinzhen greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," the fourth elder brother walked up to the Crown Prince and bowed to salute.

"Don't be too polite," the prince helped the fourth elder brother up, "I'm also a whim today, and I came out of the palace for a walk. You haven't officially moved to the house, so I will come here with the second brother. I don't know if it's appropriate. ?”

The fourth elder brother's mouth was slightly curved, and his words were respectful, "Second elder brother can come, and the younger brother's house is full of luxuriant plants, so why is it inappropriate to say?"

The prince smiled and looked around, "I heard earlier that the house that Huang Ama bestowed on the fourth younger brother occupies quite a large area, and now it seems that it is really magnificent."

The fourth elder brother bowed slightly, "If the second brother doesn't dislike it, the younger brother will take the second brother to look around."

"Okay, I just had that intention too," the prince raised his hand, "Then I will trouble fourth brother."

"Don't dare," the fourth elder brother cupped his hands, "Second brother, please."

The fourth elder brother took the prince to look around in the front yard, then turned to the east garden, and finally returned to the living room in the main yard.

Su Wei was busy arranging people to serve tea, and the fourth elder brother gave the crown prince to the first seat.

The crown prince was also tired from shopping, so he took a sip of tea before looking up at the furnishings in the room, "I saw that most of your furnishings here are made inside, and the expensive ones are expensive, but it's been a while. Why, is it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" The things from those forces are perfunctory, and the new things they sent are not eye-catching?"

The fourth elder brother smiled slightly, "The crown prince is serious. All the offerings from the House of Internal Affairs are made according to the regulations. There is no abruptness. It is my younger brother who is picky. I am used to these things, and it is not comfortable to replace them with new ones."

The prince sighed lightly, "Fourth brother, don't be perfunctory to me. I know very well the virtues of those slaves in the House of Internal Affairs. Huang Ama said something casually, and those slaves will take the opportunity to make a fortune. If you want me to say that you are too sexual, the son of our Aixinjueluo family uses their gang of slaves to set the rules?"

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips, "What the second elder brother said is true, but there are no rules and no rules. What's more, it is the younger brother who acts impulsively, and Huang Ama should be blamed."

The crown prince turned his head to look at the fourth elder brother, and said in a slightly lower voice, "The fourth brother is right. However, the emperor has a lot of things to do every day, and he has no skills at all, so it is inevitable that there will be some small omissions, especially after being deceived by some people with ulterior motives. If the fourth brother Blindly forbearance, those people are afraid that they will make an inch of it."

The fourth elder brother frowned, and asked with some doubts, "What does the second brother mean?"

The prince smiled slightly, "The fourth brother is a smart person, so he must have already guessed one or two. Tong Jia's family and Hesheli's family are both relatives of the emperor, and they have constant disputes with each other. Master Tong has always been the crown prince of this hall. I have scruples. Now, Eldest Brother is facing me tit for tat, so he is naturally leaning towards Eldest Brother. However, because of Empress Xiaoyi's attitude towards this hall during her lifetime, Elder Brother and Nalan Mingzhu may not trust the Tong Jia clan The fourth brother has a close relationship with the Tong Jia family, and has always kept a respectful distance from the elder brother. Tong Guowei's move really meant to show his attitude to the elder brother's faction, or it was originally a test for the elder brother... In fact, in the final analysis, it was because of the second brother that the fourth brother was troubled."

The fourth elder brother did not respond directly, and was silent for a while.

Su Wei stood behind the fourth elder brother, feeling quite uncomfortable.In fact, Su Wei also heard about Tong Guowei's request for the fourth elder brother's life from the fourth elder brother.However, now that these words come out of the prince's mouth, it feels different again.Is there really no family affection among the royal family?

"Fourth brother, don't worry too much," the prince sipped his tea, and continued, "Huang Ama has always valued fourth brother, and has been with her every step of the way for so many years. After Huang Ama returns to Beijing this time, the second brother I must ask for orders on my behalf. If Tong Guowei has any bad intentions, the second brother will risk his position as the prince and argue with him to the end."

"Thank you second brother," the fourth elder brother stood up and cupped his hands at the prince, "Second brother will take care of the fourth brother, and the fourth brother will always remember it. It's just that the fourth brother is not busy with other things now, but he is quite free and easy. Huang Ama once I have taught you many times that nothing should be extravagant, and my younger brother dare not go against it."

The prince's eyes flickered, the meaning was unclear, and he said after a while, "Forget it, the fourth brother has his own ideas, and the second brother doesn't force it. If you need anything in the future, just tell the second brother. It's getting late today, and I will I will stay soon, and when the fourth brother officially moves to the residence, the second brother will come to ask for a drink."

"It should be so, my younger brother sent the prince out," said the fourth elder brother with a bow.

The prince left the fourth master's mansion, got into the carriage and walked away.

Su Wei stood behind the fourth elder brother and watched the carriage leave the street, "Master, is the prince here to win you over?"

The fourth elder brother sighed softly, "Instigating is worse than winning over. Freezing three feet doesn't happen in a day, and today, even the second elder brother has changed..."

Angle of Yinghua Hall of the Imperial Palace

Under the cover of night, a figure in a dark blue cloak turned into an empty low room.Inside the house, a man in a blue velvet jacket with a large collar was pacing left and right.

The wooden door was quietly pushed open, revealing a beautiful and peaceful face under the black hood.

"Ye Ruo," the man walked over a few steps, but saw the man retreat a few steps, and called out calmly, "Cousin."

"Ye Ruo," Long Kedo stood where he was, unable to say a word that was originally full of words.

Tong Jiashi took off the hood and walked to the window. There was no sound outside the window, only a round of bright moon quietly hanging in the air, "Don't blame my cousin, now you and I are brothers and sisters, and we are married separately. If it wasn't for my sister If I have doubts in my heart, I will not take the risk to ask my brother to meet here."

Longkodo sighed, "I know what you want to ask. That matter was Ama's idea. Since her uncle and sister passed away successively, Ama began to shake the national reserve. Ama has a big heart, and now she tends to be big. Elder brother and Nalan Mingzhu are also expedient measures, he still has his own calculations. However, even elder brother and the others have only a half-knowledge of what he thinks, so I am even more confused."

Tong Jia's hands in the sleeves trembled slightly, "I know that I am a foreigner. Even if I enter the palace as Tong Jia's identity, it will be difficult for my uncle to see me. But, does my uncle disregard the empress's affection at all?" The fourth elder brother was brought up by his cousin, and now the fourth elder brother always cares about his cousin's affection, and takes extra care of me, how can uncle do it?"

Longkodo took two steps forward, frowning, "Ye Ruo, I'm sorry for you. At the beginning I couldn't resist my father, I couldn't keep you, and now I make it difficult for you. I know, if the fourth brother is not good at this time, You are even more isolated and helpless in the palace. Don't worry, this time, I will fight against Ama to the end, and I will never let him reach out to the fourth elder brother again."

Tong Jiashi turned around, her clear eyes were as black as ink, "Cousin, Ye Ruo has no fate with you, don't think about Ye Ruo any more. I know, you don't like that Fujin, so don't talk about it just to contradict your elders." After torturing each other, go and find someone who knows the cold and hot to spend the rest of your life with you. That way, Ye Ruo can feel at ease in the palace..."

"No," Longkodo shook his head hastily, and took a few steps back.

Tong Jia lowered her shoulders and sighed, "If my uncle wants to assassinate the fourth elder brother again, you can tell him that although my cousin passed away, she didn't leave nothing behind. She has been in charge of the harem for more than ten years, and she holds more than one My identity as a counterfeit clan girl? My cousin has worked hard all her life, and she was completely disappointed with Tong Jia when she left. The only thing she still misses is the fourth elder brother who was brought up by herself. If my uncle insists on going his own way, in the end, I'm afraid it will be a disaster. "

Longkodo pursed his lips and nodded.Tong Jiashi looked at him for a long while, then suddenly stretched out his hand to caress his eyebrows, "I don't know when I will meet each other, but I am embarrassed at this night, cousin, please take care of yourself."

Holy ride back to Luang at the end of October

Su Wei followed the fourth elder brother back to Zhengsan Institute, the end of the new year is approaching, and if there is no accident, this year will be their last year in Zhengsan Institute.

Fujin invited the fourth elder brother to have dinner in the atrium. After the meal, it seemed that the fourth elder brother mentioned the words of Concubine De.

The fourth elder brother frowned slightly, "We are moving to the palace soon, and there are many things to do. After the reward comes down, we have to take care of the households and assign manpower. I don't think there will be a quiet time in the next year. How can we have time to think about those things. What's more, the emperor Ama still has some complaints about me, at this time, the master can't indulge in his sensuality."

Fujin's body tightened, and he quickly bowed his head and said, "It's my concubine who didn't think carefully, I'll go into the palace and explain to Eniang later."

The fourth elder brother nodded, stood up, and Fujin hurriedly got up and said, "Master, let's rest here at night. You haven't seen Honghui for a long time. I'll let the nanny carry me later."

The fourth elder brother paused for a moment, then looked outside the door, "It's getting late, Hong Hui must have gone to bed too, and the master will come to see him tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, the fourth elder brother had already stepped out of the room before Fujin could react.

In the fourth elder brother's bedroom, a certain ignorant father-in-law had already laid out the couch by himself and slept until today without knowing tomorrow. In a daze, a warm body squeezed into the bed.Su Wei muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, and was hugged into a firm embrace.

At the beginning of the new year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs finally announced the household rewards of the Belle Lords. The fourth elder brother was included in the Xiangbai Banner, and he was awarded the third manchurian assistant leader, the first Mongolian assistant leader, the second Han army assistant leader, and the internal affairs government official assistant leader. .The property is located in Shangdeshan Customs, including Daliangzhuang No. [-], Yinzhuang No. [-], Banzhuang No. [-], Melon Garden No. [-], Vegetable Garden No. [-], Daliangzhuang No. [-] outside the customs and Shengjing Daliangzhuang No. [-] Dashou Wula Niangding, and the servants of Shengjing Sanzuo. Fifteen households, one orchard, [-] people who took the land and donated the official land, [-] collectors, [-] each from the charcoal army, the gray army, and the coal army.

After the emperor's performance was approved one by one, the princes each picked an auspicious day to move to the mansion.

On the eighth day of February, the gates of Zhengsan were opened, and the plaque of Zhen Baylor Mansion was carried in front, followed by Lord Baylor's guard of honor. The fourth elder brother rode tall and big in front of the team, and Fujin and the two princesses sat in the carriage behind, facing each other. It is a personal guard with a white flag.Su Wei walked in front of the slave team, watching the person in his heart step by step to a new starting point.

In front of the fourth master's mansion, the vermilion gate with seven rows of nails was closed tightly, a guard of honor stood in front of the door, and two teams of guards hung the plaque of Zhenbei Le's mansion under the porch.

"Su Peisheng!"

Su Wei, who was still in a daze, suddenly heard the call from the fourth elder brother, and hurried forward, "The slave is here." The fourth elder brother stood under the steps with his hands behind his back, looked up at the plaque, and said in a neutral voice, " Open the door for Grandpa!"

The author has something to say: I always work overtime recently, and it is too late, please forgive me~~~~ Let me introduce the nouns mentioned in the article~~Zuoling: It is the official position and the basic unit of the Eight Banners. , There are 30 people under the first assistant leader. The assistant leader assigned by the fourth elder brother here is the assistant leader unit under the Manchu Hanmeng Xiangbai banner.

It is a kind of Zhuangzi, including land and farmers.Similarly, paying taxes on grain is grain.Banzhuang has less land, and it is called Banzhuang, which seems to have no special meaning (I even checked it myself).Melon gardens and orchards are similar, and they pay melons and fruits according to the quota every year.

Dasheng Ula: The main task of the organization is to harvest pearls, pine nuts, honey, and fish. Coal Army: One of the soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is actually a farmer. Tax.The gray army is replaced by white lime or something.
