Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 38 years

The Yongding River incident, the soldiers of the Eight Banners assisted in the repair of the Maju Bridge watershed.

Maju Bridge is located in the southeast of the suburbs of Beijing, more than half a day's journey away from the capital. Su Wei and Si Age settled down in a large courtyard in a nearby town.The eldest elder brother presided over the assistant affairs and led the soldiers of the Eight Banners to set up a camp beside the river embankment.

"Master," Su Wei skipped into the house, "This town is very lively, shall we go out for a stroll? I heard that this Maju Bridge was built with Ming Yingzong's own money, and there is a Bixia Yuan at the head of the bridge Junmiao, the incense is at its peak, and the nearby Gaojia Tavern has 70-year-old corn brew."

The fourth elder brother leaned against the bedside with a book, glanced at him casually, "You are not too tired to panic after driving for a day, how can you ask so many gossips?"

"The landlord told me." Su Wei squeezed into the fourth elder brother's hand and sat down, "Master, don't read books, come out after a long time, let's go for a walk. As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. .”

Si elder brother's mouth curled up, "I'm really tired, you came by carriage, but I came on horseback, let me rest, be good."

Su Wei pouted, "Then, shall we go tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow I have to go to the river embankment. I am here to get familiar with the river works." The fourth elder brother smiled, and patted Eunuch Su who looked aggrieved, "If you have time, I will definitely accompany you there."

"Cut," Su Wei turned around, turned his back to the fourth elder brother, sulked for a while, then turned back, "Isn't it the eldest brother's business to repair the river embankment? Taboo?"

"Whatever he thinks," the fourth elder brother closed the book, and pulled Su Wei to his side, "It's Huang Ama's order for me to learn about river engineering, and no one has the right to comment!"

Capital

Chinbele House

A piece of glazed tiles fell from the craftsman's basket, and there was a loud shout from the main hall, "Are these slaves looking for death? Do you think that you can't do anything if you are demoted?"

In the courtyard, a group of servants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Master," the third elder brother's haha ​​bead Fucha's Sule hurriedly stepped forward, "Master, calm down, we have already followed other people's ways, so you should calm down, otherwise, if any rumors spread to the emperor's ears , isn’t it more in line with the wishes of those people? Master, the future will be long, and the promotion and promotion of the title, in the final analysis, isn’t it just a word from the emperor.”

The third elder brother pressed his lips tightly, and a white jade wine glass in his hand was creaking, "Yinti, you only have this trick. Do you think that I am a prince, and I have to look forward and backward in everything? Since you have won my fight On the head, I will accompany you well! Su Le, you send someone to Suoxiang's mansion, you can't move at this time, but you can always do it later."

Changchun Palace

"Hey, Aunt Qingju," the little eunuch in the courtyard beat Qingju up.

"Get up," Qing Ju raised the corners of her lips.

The little eunuch stood up swiftly and took the basket from the little palace lady's hand, "You see why you have to go there yourself every time, and just send someone to give instructions, and the servants will just go and get it."

Qingju smiled, "This is the mother's order, I don't dare to cut corners. But you are honest, I will grab some preserved fruit for you, and go back to fill your mouth." After finishing speaking, she turned to the food held by the little maid. He took out a handful of dried apricots from the box and stuffed them for the little eunuch.

"Hey, Aunt Xie," the little eunuch smiled, Qingju curled the corners of her mouth, and when she turned her head, she saw Huanyue standing under the corridor.

"Sister Huanyue," Qingju leaned over slightly, "I'm here to deliver something to the young master by my mother's order."

"Thank you sister," Huanyue nodded slightly, and turned around to invite Liu Yu to move things into the house one by one.

"It's all the master's order, so why bother?" Qingju smiled, "Besides, being able to send something to the young master Tong Jia is also a little consolation for the Yonghe Palace. In the past, my sister would not be able to send it even if she wanted to." .”

Huanyue looked at Qingju, her voice was silent, "My lord has just gone to the imperial garden, please forgive me for not being able to thank you in person, and I will report to my lord later, and then come to the door to thank Defei Empress."

"It's okay," Qing Ju raised the corners of her mouth, and took out a white porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Huanyue, "My sister heard that my sister suffered from leg pain, and I'm thinking about it. Mine, the curative effect of dispelling dampness and relieving pain is the best. My sister’s current situation may be a bit embarrassing, but some illnesses cannot be delayed. This medicine, my sister can use it.”

"Thank you, sister. My leg is just a small problem. I really don't dare to take this gift from the concubine." Huanyue leaned slightly, "The milk tea for the young master is still warming in the tea room, I have to go and see it." Okay, I won't keep my sister."

Stepping out of the gate of Changchun Palace, the little maid came to Qingju's side and straightened Qingju's skirt, "Sister, don't be angry, that Huanyue doesn't know good and bad, and thinks she is the eldest maid of the imperial concubine. When she suffers."

Qing Ju cast a cold glance at the little palace maid, "Even if you are a slave, you have to be bloody. When I was fighting with her, you hadn't even entered the palace gate yet."

The little maid shrank her neck and took two steps back.

In Tong Jia's house, Huanyue and Liu Yu sorted out the things sent by Concubine De.

"The concubine de concubine is also dedicated to us, and she has enough food and drink. Hey, this preserved fruit is my favorite," Liu Yu said with a smile.

Huanyue frowned, picked up the plate of dried apricots, turned around and poured them into the bucket.

"This!" Liu Yu froze in place.

Huanyue glanced at him and sighed, "Don't tell the young master."

Maju Bridge embankment

The fourth elder brother stood on the bank and watched the river workers build the embankment to clear the silt. The river meandered by very gently.

"Unexpectedly," the elder brother walked to the fourth elder brother with his hands behind his back, "the river that looks so gentle and gentle now will also have floods raging and swallowing people's lives and farms."

"Everything has two sides," the fourth elder brother slightly raised his head, "The calmer the surface, the more turbulent it may be underneath."

"That's right," the elder brother rolled up his sleeves, "everything has two sides, and so is the human heart. The fourth younger brother usually keeps quiet, but this time he was personally pointed out by Huang Ama to be familiar with the river engineering. It's really unexpected. , thanks to the activities of the brothers, now it seems that it is not as good as the younger brother's step to retreat."

The fourth elder brother smiled, "Brother is serious. As the saying goes, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. Huang Ama has always had his own reasons for doing things. A son can only obey orders, so why retreat. In fact, if you have a choice, my brother would I would rather live in Zhuangzi to farm and pay homage to the Buddha, the fourth brother really can't bear the 'activities' of the brothers."

The elder brother's eyes changed, and Su Wei stepped forward and said, "Master, the corn brew from Gao's Tavern should have been delivered."

"Then let's go back," the fourth elder brother raised the corners of his mouth, turned to the elder brother and said, "If elder brother wants to drink, feel free to come to the yard where younger brother lives, the 70-year-old corn brew in Gao's tavern is well-known. "

The eldest elder brother nodded, and watched the fourth elder brother go away, Li Jinzhong approached the elder brother and said, "Master, what does the fourth elder brother mean?"

The elder brother sighed, walked to the high place of the embankment, looked from a distance, and said in a low voice, "The emperor's order is hard to break."

When Su Wei and the fourth elder brother returned to the small courtyard where they stayed, a smell of wine filled the air.

"This is?" The fourth elder brother looked back at Su Wei, Su Wei laughed silly, "I gave the money!"

There was a charcoal stove burning in the house, and fresh rabbit meat was thrown into the thick soup, with the smell of alcohol rolling on the side. There was a large cold plate and chopped gluten on the table. After Zhang Bao sent the two into the house, he closed the door from the outside.

"You asked someone to prepare it?" The fourth elder brother sat down at the side of the table, "I thought you were just looking for an excuse to make the master leave."

"I'm taking a two-pronged approach," Su Wei puffed his chest out, "This is a popular way to eat here, corn stuffed with boiled rabbit meat, because you don't have time to go out, so I asked someone to prepare it at home."

The fourth elder brother smiled, picked up the chopsticks, "You are greedy, come, master, have a taste!"

"Dip this, this is a special sauce with a unique taste," Su Wei put a plate of brown-red sauce on the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother picked up a piece of rabbit meat, dipped it in the sauce, and put the rabbit meat into his mouth under Su Wei's wide-eyed eyes, "Ah!" Instantly flooded my eyes, "Su Wei, you—"

Maoqin Hall in the Forbidden City

"You are a bold slave," Yinti cursed angrily, pointing at the little eunuch who knocked over the inkstone.

"The slave knows his mistake, the master forgives the crime," the little eunuch plopped down on his knees and kowtowed several times.

"Forgive me for the crime!" Yinti's face was darkened, "I'll clean it up for you soon!"

"Yes, yes," the little eunuch stepped forward on his knees, his face flushed red, and he hurriedly cleaned up.

Yinti stared at him, the more he looked at him, the more unpleasant he was, stood up angrily, and went to Yinxiang's study.

Yinxiang was practicing big characters, when the servants greeted him at the door, he sighed silently, and watched Yinqi lift the curtain to enter, "Who messed with you again?"

"It's not that group of stupid servants," Yinti sat down on the chair, "It's so stupid that it can't do a little thing well, and it turns red after saying a few words, and it's stupid to cry or not."

Yinxiang laughed helplessly, "Since we came back from Zhuangzi, you have lost three or four slaves. The two close to you are still being punished by you to sweep the yard. There are newcomers around, so it must not be Feel free to let them both go, I think they didn't make any big mistakes in the first place."

"Why didn't you make a big mistake?" Yinzhen pulled a stool and sat down at Yinxiang's table, "They are my personal eunuchs, they have been with me for so many years, I dare not ask them to do anything. But my mother-in-law, As soon as there was an order, the two of them rushed to get together. The last time Er Niang locked me in confinement and I ran out to play, it was the two of them who sued."

Yin Xiang frowned and thought for a while and said, "The Empress Concubine De is your biological mother, and your servants are all from Yonghe Palace. There is nothing wrong with them listening to the Empress De. You should listen to women, let alone slaves. After all, not all eunuchs have the guts of Su Peisheng."

"Su Peisheng," Yinti's eyes lit up, and he moved closer to Yinxiang, "Brother Thirteen, didn't you live with Brother Fourth for a while? Tell me about Su Peisheng."

The fourth elder brother stayed in Maju Bridge for more than two months, and was ordered to return to Beijing at the end of the year.

Unlike Su Wei's earlier idea that there were few cars and horses in front of the door in the cold, before the first month, there were already piles of greeting cards sent to the door.

In fact, Eunuch Su prefers to check out the list of greetings rather than reading the greetings, but the fourth elder brother refused to approve it, and fixed Su Wei behind the mountain-like greetings without any regard for human rights.After Su Wei was dizzy for several days, he firmly believed that it was the fourth elder brother's private revenge for the secret hot sauce incident.

"Why does Tong Jia have the face to send greetings?" Su Wei threw the greetings to the fourth elder brother who was reading a book in dissatisfaction.

The fourth elder brother opened it leisurely and said, "This is from Namutu's father, Tong Jia's Kwadai. I am going to let Namutu release it, so his father will naturally express it."

"Even Namutu's father is Tong Jia's family," Su Wei frowned.

The fourth elder brother curled his mouth, "It's different, Kua Dai is Tong Guogang's second son, Tong Guogang is Tong Guowei's elder brother, Kua Dai is Tong Guowei's nephew, Tong Guogang's eldest son Elundai has always had a close relationship with Tong Guowei, but Kua Dai—"

"Ah!!!" Su Wei covered his head and yelled, "I don't want to listen anymore, don't listen anymore, what does it have to do with me? I don't want to read these posts anymore, I want to read the gift list, I'm going to the warehouse!"

"No," the fourth elder brother leaned on the couch, "You read and register all these today, and you are allowed to go to the warehouse tomorrow, or you will continue to be responsible for tomorrow's greetings."

"You!" Su Wei pointed at him painfully, "You will retaliate, you are narrow-minded, and you make trouble for no reason!"

The fourth elder brother smiled slightly, "You can say whatever you want, but please remind Eunuch Su that there will be a second watch soon."

Su Wei pursed his lips, glared at the fourth elder brother, picked up his pen, and hurriedly flipped through the next post, only to freeze in place.

"What's wrong?" Brother Si tilted his head, "Whose post?"

Su Wei looked at the fourth elder brother, pursed his lips, "Nian Gengyao".
