Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 50 years

the third day of March, in the evening

In the East Courtyard, Ku Kui was waving a big broom, sweeping the stone road in the yard.

The courtyard door over there was pushed open, and Xiao Shuzi walked in.

"Little Shuzi is here? Brother Hongpan is out of school?"

"Well," Xiaoshuzi walked into the courtyard with his head down.

Zhang Qilin was standing on the porch, watering the flowers with a water bottle, seeing the little scholar with his head bowed, he said, "Come to see your master? Your master is going to Yuanmingyuan again today."

"I'm looking for my master..." Xiao Shuzi's voice was weak.

"Your master is in the house, the prince is not here, you go in by yourself," Zhang Qilin was a little surprised, but didn't ask much.

Xiao Shuzi nodded, and walked into the main hall door with a sullen head.

Grand Duke Su sat cross-legged on the soft couch and looked at the account book of Jishengtang. Hearing the movement at the door, he looked up, "Little Shuzi, why are you here at this time? Where's Brother Hongpan?"

Xiao Shuzi lowered his head, stood in front of the threshold, didn't move and didn't speak.

"What's wrong?" Su Wei felt something was wrong, "What happened?"

Xiao Shuzi shook his shoulders twice and raised his head.

The chubby little face had red eyes, and when he saw the person on the couch, he flattened his mouth and tears fell down, "Master, I, wow——"

The cry of the little book was earth-shattering, and it was the first time that the people in the East courtyard heard the little fat man crying so badly.

"What's the matter? What happened?"

Su Wei also panicked for a moment, and quickly got off the ground, before putting on his boots, Xiao Shuzi jumped on him.

"Master, they bullied me, woo woo, lied to me for money, and didn't help me go to the imperial dining room, woo woo..."

"Okay, okay," Grandpa Su patted his apprentice and grandson on the back, and he was confused, "Who bullied you? Talk to Master."

Su Wei sat down on his soft couch, looked at the little book in front of him who was crying and twitching, and wanted to laugh for a moment.The child probably held back all the way, and only burst out when he got back to the mansion and arrived at the East Courtyard.

Zhang Qilin and Ku Kui, who heard the movement outside, also walked in with surprised faces.

Standing in front of Su Wei, Xiao Shuzi wiped away his tears for a long time before he calmed down, but he was still sobbing when he spoke.

"That's right, it's a man named Deshun!"

Xiao Shuzi wiped his nose, "I want to find someone to go to the imperial dining room to add two meat dishes to the master. The master said, just give the money. I can't be too far away from the Maoqin Hall, so I will wait at the corner gate until the two eunuchs , I didn’t wear a patch, and I didn’t know them, so I wanted to ask them for a favor.”

Zhang Qilin and Ku Kui wanted to laugh when they heard the freshness.

Xiao Shuzi didn't pay attention to them, just looked at the master in front of him, and continued talking.

"As a result, that man named Deshun took my money and refused to admit it. He said that my brain is not good and I don't know who he is."

When Grandpa Su heard this, he frowned.

"The one behind him said he was the apprentice of Director Wei. I wanted to ask him to return the silver to me. He threatened me and said that he would send me to the Department of Shenxing. Later, Maoqin Hall called someone. The master caused trouble, so he left. The silver didn't come back..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Shuzi was wronged again.

"Deshun?" Eunuch Su didn't remember these people without names or surnames.

"Wei Zhu's apprentice seems to be a new recruit," Zhang Qilin reminded from the side.

"His grandma's, Wei Zhu is a reincarnation of Pixiu, and the apprentices he takes are all fucking robbers! How dare you snatch your grandpa's head!"

Eunuch Su was very angry, and turned his head to ask Xiao Shuzi who was leaning on his lap and wiping his tears, "How much money did he rob you?"

"20 taels..."

"Cough, cough cough—" Ku Kui, who was holding a broom over there, choked on his own saliva.

Zhang Qilin, together with the very wealthy Eunuch Su, looked at the innocent and pitiful little Shuzi in shock.

"You use 20 taels to add two dishes to brother Hongpan?" Everyone couldn't accept it.

Xiao Shuzi was a little awkward, and he seemed to realize that he seemed to have wasted a little, "I don't know how much money the palace wants, I brought all my lucky money, but it only cost one ingot."

"You masters and apprentices are too wasteful! Can you see what the child taught you?"

Zhang Qilin was heartbroken and reprimanded the three masters and apprentices headed by Su Peisheng.

Su Wei felt a little guilty, but he felt that the main responsibility was not his. It was Xiaoyingzi who tried to steal his money all day long. He was always very economical.

"Don't be afraid, the ancestor will go to Wei Zhu tomorrow, how much his apprentice has robbed you, let him spit it out ten times over!"

next day

Wei Zhu has a habit of going to Wenfeng Pavilion to listen to operas when he is not on duty.

Wenfeng Pavilion also keeps a private box for Eunuch Wei all the year round.

On this day, Wei Zhu took his two apprentices out to have some fun together.When he entered the box of Wenfeng Pavilion, he found that there were already people inside.

"Eunuch Su?"

"Eunuch Wei, long time no see."

Su Wei put down the tea bowl, brought the little book that was gnawing on the chicken legs, and greeted Wei Zhu.

"Today is a coincidence," Wei Zhu replied, and the two sat down at the same time.

He is also a person who is used to Su Peisheng's behavior style, and he is not at all surprised why the other party suddenly appeared in his box.

Deshun, who was following Wei Zhu, could only stand by with a smile, but he suddenly realized that the little fat man standing across the table seemed a little familiar.

"These are two apprentices of our family, Wang Hai and Deshun," Wei Zhu pointed to the two behind him.

The two hurriedly greeted Eunuch Su, first because they knew that Su Peisheng was of high quality, and second because of Wei Zhu's attitude towards Su Peisheng.

Su Wei smiled, and pointed to the little book standing by his hand, "This is my grandson, Wu Shulai, who usually serves Hongpan little brother."

"Oh, I met him when we passed by Maoqin Hall, and he is a sensible person at first glance."

Wei Zhu boasted casually, and Deshun behind him broke out in a cold sweat.

"Eunuch Wei praised you, go over quickly," Su Wei shook his head at Xiao Shuzi.

Xiao Shuzi was very obedient, walked up to Wei Zhu in a few steps, and gave Qianer a slap, "Little Shuzi pays respects to Eunuch Wei."

"Okay, good--"

Before Wei Zhu finished speaking, he saw the little eunuch in front of him, and extended his palm to him.

Even though he was well-informed, Wei Zhu also froze before this overly straightforward move.

He turned his head to look at Su Peisheng, but it was a pity that this Eunuch Su seemed to be quite used to it, he was listening to the opera with a tea bowl, and he was quite absorbed in listening.

Wei Zhu gritted her teeth secretly, and gestured to the two apprentices behind her.

Wang Hai hurriedly wanted to take out the money, but Deshun handed it out first.

but--

"Master, not as big as me!"

Although Xiaoshuzi can't tell the weight of the silver, he can tell its size.

Su Peisheng turned his head leisurely, glanced at the piece of broken silver less than ten taels in Xiao Shuzi's palm, and then looked at Deshun behind Wei Zhu.

"Master!"

Deshun knelt down with a plop.

Wei Zhu also felt something was wrong at this time, frowned and said, "What's going on?"

"Apprentice, apprentice is..." Deshun stammered and didn't say anything for a long time.

Over there, Su Wei sighed and put down the tea bowl, "If Eunuch Wei is short of money, just tell Su. We come and go frequently, whoever we are with."

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Su took out a stack of banknotes and patted them on the table, "Why do you have to let the apprentice embarrass a child? It's only 20 taels of silver. If others see this, it will ruin Eunuch Wei's reputation." ?”

"What 20 taels?"

Wei Zhu didn't understand what happened at this time, "Tell me, what did you do?"

Deshun was kicked, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore, "The apprentice just took 20 taels of silver from the little eunuch..."

"It's not a collection, it's a robbery!"

The little book stuck his neck and said, "I want to ask you to help me to go to the imperial dining room to ask for two dishes. I don't know you. If you don't help me, don't help me. If you rob me of my money, don't return it to me, and say You are Eunuch Wei's apprentice, and you still want to send me to Shen Xingsi!"

Xiao Shuzi's series of robbing whites made Wei Zhu's face turn green and pale for a while. He loves money, but he also values ​​fame very much.

Being able to stay in Yuqian for so long, he knows best what should be done and what should not be done.

It doesn't matter if the apprentice receives some filial piety from others, but you can also distinguish who and where!Outside the Maoqin Hall, they robbed a young eunuch from the palace, and even robbed Su Peisheng on his mother's head!

It's not just embarrassing, it's downright stupid!

"Master..." Deshun wanted to rub against Wei Zhu, but Wei Zhu kicked him far away!

"You don't need to call our master anymore, let someone else do the work of Yuhua Pavilion! Since you like silver so much, you can go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be a treasury in the future!"

"Master! Master! Deshun dare not, Deshun made a mistake, please..."

Without blinking, Wang Hai stepped forward to cover Deshun's mouth, and dragged him outside.

"I made Eunuch Su laugh..."

Wei Zhu's expression recovered quickly, and in a blink of an eye, she smiled and waved at Xiao Shuzi.

The little book moved to Wei Zhu again.

"Come on, Eunuch Wei will give you 20 taels."

A yellow gold ingot was placed in Xiao Shuzi's hands.

Xiao Shuzi compared in his heart, um, gold is worth more than silver, he should have earned it!

Eunuch Su, who watched this scene from the side, drank tea leisurely, and then silently put away the banknotes that were just slapped on the table.

Wei Zhu pretended not to see that scene, turned to the little bookman and said, "Whatever the little masters need in the future, just go to the little eunuch next to the Jiaotai Hall and tell them to clean up. If anyone refuses, let them come." Find our house."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wei!" Xiao Shuzi was happy now, and Hong hoped that elder brother would not be hungry in the future.

Xiao Shuzi stepped aside, and Wei Zhu finally drank tea with Su Peisheng.

"I heard that Eunuch Su was injured in Tongzhou before? Is he recovering now?"

"I've recovered a long time ago," Su Wei smiled, "It's just that the prince was injured. We slaves really deserve to die."

"Hey, how can you prevent things like assassins? However, the prince's errand in Jingtong Granary is really beautiful, and Long Live Lord is very satisfied."

"Our lord has always been concerned about the country and the people. The national warehouse is related to the big plan. The lord dare not neglect at all."

"Isn't the prince important to Long Live?" Wei Zhu said with a smile.

After another hour, the two of them finally finished socializing.

Xiao Suzi walked away with Xiao Shuzi, without mentioning the payment.

Wang Hai looked puzzled, followed Wei Zhu out of Wenfeng Pavilion, and got into the carriage.

"Master, why are you always so polite to Su Peisheng? He is the most favored by Prince Yong's side, and he is not as good as you."

"What do you know?"

Wei Zhu opened the window of the car and looked out, "There is no good life for a thousand days, and there is no good flower for a hundred days..."
