Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 41 years

Capital

In the lobby of Piaoxiangju, Su Wei stood with his hands behind his back, facing the expressionless Nian Gengyao and the smiling He Zhou, Xiaoyingzi stood behind Su Wei holding a bunch of messy things, and closed the way for the first time A mouth that doesn't stop muttering.

Su Wei has no time to think about why He Zhou is with Nian Gengyao. Now that the old people meet again, it must be natural to go through a few tricks.

"Hey, Eunuch He," Su Wei stared in surprise, his eyes widened, and he arched his hands directly past Nian Gengyao and rushed towards He Zhou.

"Hello, Eunuch Su," He Zhou replied, still smiling as before, "We really haven't seen each other for a long time."

"That's not it," Su Wei pinched his fingers, "It must have been five or six years. I don't know where Eunuch He has been these past few years? Are you still working for King Zhijun?"

"Cough, it's a long story," He Zhou pursed his lips, "Brother's family had a funeral, and the county prince allowed me to go home to observe my filial piety, and I wasted a lot of time back and forth. Back in the capital, fortunately, the county prince doesn't dislike me, so I just run errands and do chores."

"Eunuch He is too modest." Su Wei clasped his hands and straightened his body back. "With your ability, the county prince must put more emphasis on it. However, Li Jinzhong, Eunuch Li, who is next to the prince, seems to be good at handling things." Yes, there is no place for two tigers on this mountain, and Eunuch He really needs to take care of himself when he comes back."

He Zhou eased the smile on his lips, and his tone was still calm, "Thank you, Mr. Su, for your concern. Brother, I am not young anymore. I don't want to fight for fame. Now I can have a job and a livelihood, and I can live in peace in the future." Old age is enough."

"Eunuch He is righteous," Su Wei cupped his hands again, "but we are old brothers after all. If there is something useful in the future, Eunuch He is free to speak. Although Su Peisheng is not up to date, at least he has been honored by the kindness of the Holy One and the former Queen. Sixth-rank eunuch, the eunuchs inside and outside the palace can also speak a few words. Don't embarrass yourself too much when you come back from a new funeral."

Su Wei smiled harmlessly, but what he said was quite choking.He Zhou was also one of the most famous eunuchs in the palace at the beginning. In terms of seniority, he was a round ahead of Su Peisheng. Now, in Su Wei's words, he actually ended up being surrounded by a junior.

"Then, thank you, Eunuch Su," He Zhou pursed his lips and lowered his head, trying not to let others see his clenched teeth.

Su Wei smiled, turned to look at Nian Gengyao, and said with a little surprise, "Ah, Mr. Nian, why are you still here? Are you waiting for our house?"

Nian Gengyao froze for a moment, looked at He Zhou, then at Su Wei, not knowing how to answer.

Su Wei suddenly realized, "Ah, Mr. Nian knows Eunuch He? That's a coincidence, Eunuch He is also an old acquaintance of our family. How about we have a drink together? The hanging black fish soup from Piaoxiangju The taste is very good, but the fish species are not very good, and it is incomparable with the snakehead that your father brought from Huguang."

"Don't bother me," He Zhou was startled for a moment, and then interjected, "Brother Shicai has already eaten, and there is still an errand in the house, so I don't dare to delay, so I will take my leave first."

"Ah, it's my fault." Su Wei cupped his hands, smiling like a lucky cat, "Our family forgot that today is different from the past, Eunuch He, hurry back, brother, I will invite you in another day."

He Zhou's strides were staggered by the sentence that today is different from the past, so he could only smile apologetically, and walked out awkwardly, turning his head to look at Nian Gengyao before going out.

Nian Gengyao turned his head and cupped his hands at Su Wei, "I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first, and Eunuch Su will stay."

"It's easy for Mr. Nian." Su Wei suppressed his smile, and his voice was cold, "It's not suitable for your father to seek a job outside. Mr. Nian should think twice before doing anything."

Nian Gengyao stopped and looked back at Su Wei, but Su Wei turned around and followed the shopkeeper to the second floor.

In the evening, East Courtyard

The fourth elder brother sighed, looked at Su Wei with a helpless expression, "Why do you have to mess with He Zhou, that person is not easy to get along with."

"I'm not easy to get along with!" Su Wei waved his paw at the fourth elder brother like a cat with its hair blown up, "When the two armies meet, the brave wins! Don't discourage his spirit, but really let him poach us in broad daylight At the foot of the palace wall."

The fourth elder brother stroked his forehead, with a smile on his lips, "It's not so easy to be poached. If the people of the Nian family are sloppy, they won't work if you want them. However, Nian Gengyao is indeed a good person." It's easy to control. Even though Nian Yaling obeyed me, he kept watching. Now is a good time for Nianjia, and it is expected that he will move his mind. Maybe you scare him at this time. It’s really getting twice the result with half the effort.”

Su Wei raised his tail triumphantly, then frowned and asked, "Has anything happened to the Nian family recently? Why do you say now is a good time for the Nian family."

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips, "Guo Xiu has repeatedly asked to resign recently. He is indeed old and sick. Although Huang Ama is reluctant, she can't keep him forever. If Guo Xiu resigns from his old age and returns to his hometown, the position of Governor of Huguang is likely to be Nine is the old age. Nian Gengyao is a concubine, and he often goes to the South Study Room recently, and Huang Ama is also quite optimistic about him. Nian Gengyao has made great contributions to the local area, and when he retires, Nian Gengyao's future is bound to be limitless."

Su Wei blinked his eyes, Nian Gengyao is not the only one with a limitless future in the Nian family.

In the blink of an eye in the early summer of June, the emperor sent the empress dowager to Saibei to escape the summer heat, and the fourth elder brother and Su Wei embarked on a tour of the north.

At this time, the Saibei tour was much easier than when Su Wei followed him for the first time. There were already fixed stations in many places on the road, and the construction of the palace had begun.This time, the emperor asked the empress dowager to live in the Anziling palace, and Su Wei and the fourth elder brother also mixed into a house with a roof, so there was no need to live in a tent.

At the beginning of July, the Mulan Autumn Hunting is an annual grand ceremony in the north of the Great Wall. In addition to the royal family, the nobles of the Mongolian tribe are also the main force.However, in Su Wei's view, it was just a group of people chasing rabbits on horseback. The first time I saw it, I was quite excited. After watching it for several years, now he would rather hide under the shed to avoid being lazy.

After a few days of hunting, the fourth elder brother had reaped a lot. He specially asked people to send some of the live rabbits and fur foxes he had hunted to the Queen Mother and Princess Wen Xian.

The Mulan Autumn Hunting lasted for almost half a month. Su Wei looked like an excellent eunuch outside during the day, but when he returned to the house, he immediately turned into a puddle of mud and lay down on the couch without even bothering to wash up.The fourth elder brother was so happy to tease him that he would help him when he didn't want to move.

Su Wei whimpered and rolled on the couch, and the fourth elder brother threw a wet towel to wipe his face, "You are getting lazy, and I let you get used to it. Now I have to take care of you."

Su Wei pursed his lips, "I'm old, but you're still young, it's incomparable."

"You're talking nonsense again," the fourth elder brother bit Su Wei's neck.

Su Wei covered his neck and rolled around on the couch, and while holding the hand pads as a defense, he said as if thinking of something, "Princess Wen Xian seems to be in poor health. There was a coughing sound, and the girl below also said that the princess has some heatstroke."

The fourth elder brother frowned, "Wen Xian is E Niang's only daughter. Seventh sister died at the age of 12, and E Niang was ill for a while. Now Wen Xian has finally escaped the fate of Fumeng, and there is nothing else to do. Wait until tomorrow I'll take a look around."

Su Wei nodded and covered his face with a cushion.The fourth elder brother looked funny, reached into his clothes, and touched his waist that was a little fleshy.

In mid-July, when Mulan's autumn hunting came to an end and Luanjia was about to return to Beijing, Princess Wen Xian's condition suddenly deteriorated, and she couldn't wake up from a high fever.

"What's going on? Didn't you get better before?" The fourth elder brother stood in the outer room of Princess Wen Xian with a cold face, and questioned the imperial physician who was kneeling on the ground.

The imperial physicians look at me and I look at you. In the end, the leading imperial physician He kowtowed and said, "Lord Baylor, forgive me, I have tried my best. The princess is weak, and the medicines for relieving heat are all things that dissipate the cold. Now the heat has dissipated." Going out, but it caused a cold inside, and the high fever persisted."

"Trash!" The fourth elder brother smashed a vase casually, causing all the chief physicians in the room to kneel down.

"Master," Su Wei walked to the fourth elder brother, whispered a few words of persuasion, and raised his hand to ask the little eunuchs to come in and clean up the debris.

"Master Belle," Princess Wen Xian's close servant Bao Sheng came out with red and swollen eyes, "Master Belle, the princess is awake and wants to see you."

The fourth elder brother thought for a while, and followed Baosheng into the inner room regardless of the defense of men and women.Because the princess had a high fever, she was sweating cold, and there was no wind. In July, the windows were closed in the house.As soon as the curtain was lifted, a wave of heat rushed over.

In the house, there was a screen in front of Princess Wen Xian's bed. Behind the shadowy white gauze, Wen Xian lay on the bed, "Fourth brother, you are here..."

The princess's voice was so hoarse that she didn't look like a girl. The fourth elder brother frowned, "You are so weak, why did you follow the mother to Saibei? Why didn't you tell the fourth brother as soon as possible?"

"I've made fourth brother worry about it," Wen Xian shook his head slowly, "my younger sister is married and a woman, so many things are beyond her control... I take the liberty of asking fourth brother to come here today, because I want to ask fourth brother for help."

"Tell me," the fourth elder brother sighed, "We are brothers and sisters, and I will definitely do what you tell me."

Wen Xian curled his lips, "I grew up beside the queen mother, and I didn't have much contact with my brothers, sisters, or Erniang. But now, the fourth brother's concern for my sister makes my sister really feel that it is good to have a family."

The fourth elder brother tilted his head and sighed deeply, "It is the fourth elder brother who neglected you..."

Wen Xian shook his head lightly, "Fourth brother, don't say that, you and I are both from the Aixinjueluo family, it's really rare to get along like this. My sister knows that she is dying, and now she just wants to ask four After I return to Beijing, I will help my younger sister to investigate something. After finding out the result, if the son-in-law is involved, please ask the fourth brother to help my younger sister—to bring him to justice!"

The fourth elder brother was taken aback, and looked into the screen with serious eyes. Princess Wen Xian took a hard breath and continued, "If the forehead is not involved, please ask the fourth elder brother to take care of him... After my sister marries him, he He has always been respectful and caring towards his younger sister... As for what to investigate, Baosheng knows best, after my sister leaves, please ask my fourth brother to bring Baosheng back to the mansion..."

"Princess," Baosheng cried and knelt beside Princess Wenxian's bed, "I will not leave, I will go with you."

"Silly girl," Wen Xian couldn't speak much anymore, only his chest rose and fell, indicating that she was still fighting for the last time.

Su Wei waited at the entrance of the inner hall, looked in the direction of the bedroom, and sighed in his heart. In this time and space, no matter what status a woman is, it is difficult to obtain true happiness.Princess Wenxian's marriage seems to outsiders to be a hundred times luckier than that of Fumeng's princess, but in fact it is not a transaction in the court.

When the fourth elder brother came out, his complexion was pale and his eyes were serious. After looking at Su Wei for a moment, he shook his head lightly.

In July of the 41st year of Kangxi, Princess Wenxian died.
