Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 44 years

Laba Festival

In the evening, when the game was over, Su Wei, Wang Xiangqing, and Shen Wenyan walked out of Shengping Building one after another, and left each other.

Shen Wenyan and Yuan Yong, his accountant, got into the carriage. Yuan Yong took the brocade box Shen Wenyan handed over, opened it, looked at it, and said, "Although we have never heard of Su Caidong before, but looking at it today, It's not like a stunned young man in the business world."

"That's true," Shen Wenyan breathed out, "Judging from his actions, this man is quite wealthy. The capital is no different from other places, and the backs of these rich people are not simple. That Wang Xiangqing is not an ordinary person, Ji Shengtang Although it is only a small stall in Zhangjiakou, it is quite famous in Uliasutai and Guihua area. Looking at his attitude towards that Su Caidong today, I am afraid that these two people are going to do a big business in the capital."

"Then, what do you plan to do?" Yuan Yong tilted his head, "Wang Xiangqing is quite flattering to you at the poker table. There are only a handful of trendy merchants in the capital, and their new store probably wants to get a piece of the pie."

Shen Wenyan pursed his lips, leaned against the wall of the car and thought for a moment, "Old Tong from Hongsheng's store has a growing appetite. Relying on his relationship in the capital, he has repeatedly lowered our prices. Although Jishengtang is in The capital has just started, but Su Caidong's move must not be short of money."

"Master, what do you mean, let's use a batch of goods to test the water first?" Yuan Yong said with a suppressed voice.

"Well," Shen Wenyan nodded, "This batch of spices is coming soon, and half of it is allocated. Let's formally deal with that Su Caidong."

On the other side of the carriage, Su Wei pressed his stomach and played the horse hang all afternoon, but he didn't eat seriously.

"You're hungry," Wang Xiangqing turned and opened the car window, "Let's find a restaurant and have something to eat."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just eat a bowl of noodles on the side of the road." Su Wei stretched his head and looked out. The carriage just passed by a shed. .

"Hey, sit inside the guest officer," the owner of the noodle stall wiped the table, "it happens that the last pot is stewed, and the stall will be closed when it gets dark."

"Here are three bowls of noodles and two dishes of side dishes," Su Wei stretched his waist, and the boss left in response.

Su Wei turned his head and smiled at Wang Xiangqing again, "Thanks to elder brother's help today, otherwise I would have lost myself."

"Hey, our family doesn't talk about each other." Wang Xiangqing took a sip of a big bowl of tea, "Besides, I proposed to play two games, so how can I let Su Di suffer in vain. However, it is also Su Di who is generous. Then Even if the shopkeepers are murmuring in their hearts, they will not be able to say a word after accepting the valuable snow ginseng."

Su Wei scratched his head in embarrassment, but before he could speak modestly, the boss came with warm pork noodles.

"Hurry up and eat," Wang Xiangqing wiped Su Wei's chopsticks, and pushed the noodle bowl in front of him. Su Wei was not polite, and started to eat with his head buried.

Here, the owner of the noodle stall finished serving the side dishes, and he also served a bowl of noodles to another table for dinner.

Su Wei was eating happily, and a vaguely familiar smell came from the boss's table.

Wang Xiangqing frowned, turned to look at the table next door, and said angrily, "What are you eating? Why does it smell so bad? Do we still eat noodles here?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, guest officer," the noodle stall owner put a lid on a small clay pot on the table, "I didn't pay attention to it for a while, it's not something pickled, don't worry about it."

"Bring me the jar." Su Wei straightened up, his eyes shining.

The noodle stall owner hesitated for a moment, and came to Su Wei with the pot in his hand.

"Brother Su?" Wang Xiangqing watched Su Wei open the stinking jar with a puzzled expression, and poked his head to look inside.

"It really is stinky fermented bean curd," Su Wei raised the corners of his lips, dipped a little bit of it into his mouth with chopsticks, and it tasted surprisingly delicious.

"Guest officer, you know," the noodle stall owner said happily, "I thought this thing wouldn't catch your eyes, it's what those of us who work hard usually eat with it."

"You did this?" Su Wei licked his lips, while Wang Xiangqing and Cui Sheng looked at each other in blank dismay.

"No," the noodle stall owner took the jar, "it's made by a workshop next to my house, and his family's stinky fermented bean curd and pickles are well-known in several alleys in our area."

"What workshop, where is it?" Su Wei's eyes widened.

"It's on the West Road of Yanshousi Street." The owner of the noodle stall added tea to several people, "It's called Wang Zhihe Nanjiangyuan."

"Ouch, Su Caidong!" Cui Sheng frantically supported Eunuch Su who suddenly fell from the bench, and he really didn't know what frightened him.

Su Wei laughed dryly twice to hide the surprise on his face, this time it was worthwhile for him to put it on once.

After the Laba Festival, the discussion in the court about the abolition of the prince died down for a while, and no one wanted to follow in the footsteps of Zuo Du Yu Shi Lao Zhibian.However, the matter of the position reserve has not been exposed, and the several edicts of the Long Live Lord have secretly stirred up waves in the hearts of the courtiers.

December [-]th, Siye Mansion

In the East Small Courtyard, Fu Nai, Chang Lai, En Chuo and others went to see the fourth elder brother together.

"Master, recently Orondai, Arsun'a, Wang Hongxu and others have made frequent small moves," Fu Nai handed over his hands and reported, "Since the emperor dealt with Lao Zhibian, these people have contacted many ministers who are easy to store in private .”

"I've expected this for a long time," the fourth elder brother leaned back on the wooden chair behind the desk, "Even though Huang Ama suppressed the words to depose the prince, she didn't let the prince out of Xian'an Palace. After Lao Zhibian was dealt with, It even reprimanded the powerful ministers and relatives who blindly defended the crown prince."

"However," Mrs. Zhao Jia hesitated, "The emperor also said something beforehand. If the crown prince recovers completely, he will make another decision. From this point of view, even if Lord Long Live intends to hang the East Palace empty, he may not be able to make up his mind for a while. At this time, he is blind Isn't it like picking chestnuts out of the fire?"

"It is precisely because of this that they are even more impatient," Chang Lai interjected, "These people have been at odds with the prince's party for so many years, and finally waited until the prince was detained, all serious crimes fell on him, and Long Live Lord also had a waste reserve In addition, there is no elder brother blocking the way. It can be said that the timing, location, and harmony of people have been gathered. If the prince was allowed to leave the Xian'an Palace because of hesitation for a while, and make a comeback, wouldn't it be a waste of this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity? good time?"

"What Fu Nai said is exactly what Fu Nai said," the fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, "I just don't know what their plans are. But, we don't need to waste our thinking. The second brother should be more anxious than us."

"But," Fu Nai frowned, "would Eighth Brother take this opportunity to profit from it? After all, the people in Orondai are working for him, and the crown prince can't protect himself. If he is really shaken With the status of the prince and the protection of several big families, will the eighth elder brother be promoted to the reserve position?"

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips, and said lightly with one hand, "Whether the second elder brother can be a prince or not doesn't matter to me, but Yinhu definitely can't!"

"Then, how does the master plan to deal with it?" Chang Lai lowered his head and said.

"Emperor Ama should have heard about the Taoist priests around Lao Ba's mansion." The fourth elder brother propped his forehead with one hand, "Send a letter to the elder brother's mansion for me, and then secretly arrest a Taoist priest and dispose of it, and bury it in the Yin Temple." In the hunting garden on the outskirts of Hu."

Fu Nai, Chang Lai and the others looked at each other a few times, and saluted together, "Your servant takes orders!"

It was noon, Zhang Bao carried the food box into the inner hall, and the little eunuch behind him also held an extra jar.

"It's about this time, you guys stay and have dinner with Master!" Si elder brother stood up and said.

"Slave waits for your order, thank you master for your kindness," several people leaned over and followed the fourth elder brother out of the study.

Zhang Bao waited for the fourth elder brother to sit down and filled the chicken soup. The fourth elder brother looked at the unfamiliar pot and said, "What is this?"

"Oh," Zhang Bao took a step back and bowed, "Eunuch Su sent someone to bring it back. He said it was a folk snack. Let you try something new."

Everyone here is no stranger to Su Peisheng, and En Chuo had some friendship with Su Wei when he was at elder brother's house.Everyone knows how much the fourth elder brother attaches to Su Peisheng. Although Su Peisheng lives outside the mansion for some reason, they are not those servants with narrow vision, and they dare not underestimate this elder brother who grew up with the fourth elder brother. His sixth grade father-in-law.

"Su Peisheng sent it back?" The fourth elder brother looked curious, raised his chopsticks impatiently and said, "Open it and show me!"

"Um, yes," Zhang Bao bowed his head resignedly, stepped forward and lifted the lid of the pot.

Almost at the same time, several people at the table retreated one after another. If it weren't for the presence of the master, no one would still be sitting stiffly at the table.

The fourth elder brother pinched his nose, and smacked a smoky smell, "What is this? Su Peisheng's courage is getting bigger and bigger, he dares to send this kind of thing to Grandpa!"

"Master, calm down," Zhang Bao quickly put the lid on, "Eunuch Su said, this is called stinky fermented bean curd, it smells stinky, tastes delicious, and it's made from fermented tofu. Many folks eat it once, and never want to eat it again." Can't do without. Eunuch Su inquired about the workshop that made this thing, and he wanted to make a lot of money from it."

"Does he have money and no place to spend it?" Fourth elder brother covered his nose and grinned, "This stuff smells so bad, how can it be delicious? Quick, take it away, take it away!"

"Yes, yes," Zhang Bao nodded again and again, and asked the slaves behind him to take away the pot.

The snow in the early winter in the capital was not heavy, but it was very sticky, intermittently and non-stop.

Outside the Qianqing palace, the eunuchs swept over and over again, and the swishing sound hadn't stopped since the morning.

Lord Kangxi sat in the inner hall, reviewing the memorials, and several secret documents from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were placed on the desk.

"These people are too impatient," Liang Jiugong put the new tea on the table, and heard Master Kangxi sigh.

"Long Live Lord, don't worry, it's just old age," Liang Jiugong said in a low voice.

Lord Kangxi chuckled and shook his head, "Forget it, I also want to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see how courageous my sons are."

The author has something to say:

Wangzhihe stinky tofu was founded in the seventh year of Kangxi, and Wangzhihe Nanjiang Garden was opened in the 17th year of Kangxi. Wangzhihe's stinky tofu is not the same thing as Changsha's fried stinky tofu. Although we call it stinky tofu in Northeast China, But here still add stinky fermented bean curd as a difference.Wangzhihe stinky tofu really became famous in the period of Cixi, and became the imperial dish in the palace. Cixi loved it very much and named it Qingfang.This can also be regarded as the golden finger I opened for Xiao Suzi. In fact, I came up with it by accident when I was eating stinky tofu. O(∩_∩)O~
