Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 41 years

At Yinshi, Dr. Ding woke up with the almost hoarse crowing of a cock, it was still dark outside the window, and there were few voices in the village.At the end of autumn and early winter, farmers rarely stop working for a year, stealing half a day's leisure, and don't have to listen to chickens and dance like they used to.

The creaking wooden door was pushed open, and Dr. Ding drew water by the well to wash his face with a little sunlight.It has been more than a year since he came to Beijing from his hometown in Jiangning. He sat in a pharmacy in the capital and was squeezed out by many doctors in Beijing, and finally ran away angrily.After leaving the city gate, I realized that I had already sold my property and had nowhere to go. Fortunately, I followed a roadside fellow into this village. Because of my ability to practice medicine for generations, I was placed in this deserted place by the village head. in the small courtyard.Although life is hard, it is quite comfortable, but after a long time, I always feel that there is less color.

After pouring the water in the basin on the ground, Dr. Ding took two deep breaths towards the dimly lit sky, and before the whirlwind he exhaled fell, a burst of rapid but steady rhythmic hoofbeats came from a distance accompanied by the wheels.

The carriage stopped in front of Doctor Ding's small courtyard, and a young man in a navy blue robe jumped off the beam, "Is that Doctor Ding?"

"Yes," Ding Qi nodded a little stupefied.

"My master invites you to the mansion to see a doctor, come with me," the young man walked to the gate of the courtyard and put one hand on the fence.

Ding Qi took two steps back, and her mind went through several circuits in an instant.

For a doctor, looking, hearing, and asking are the basic skills, and the word "look" is the foundation of the foundation.Looking at this person's movements and aura, he has no doubt that if he refuses now, this person will jump over the fence and tie him away.What's more, this person just said "go to the mansion to see a doctor", that is to say, the mansion is designated as a dignitary.As a country doctor, he absolutely cannot afford to offend him.

Ding Qi went back to the house to get the medicine box, carefully locked the door of the house, the courtyard door and followed the visitors into the carriage.The moment the car curtain was lifted, Ding Qi glanced unintentionally, and saw the young brother driving in the car with a smooth neck and a hairless face, he couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart, this man is an eunuch.

Zhang Bao drove the carriage all the way. Although Wei Jingguo's injury was not fatal, after a night's delay, he was now at the end of his strength.

The fourth elder brother had people cover up the traces of Wei Jingguo's escape to the fourth master's mansion, but he still couldn't relax his vigilance, so he could only wait for the city gate to open in the early morning and go outside the city to invite a doctor.Fortunately, when the accountant went to collect the accounts from the village households, he heard about a doctor Ding from outside, who was said to be highly skilled in medicine, so Zhang Bao drove his carriage out of the city early in the morning to pick him up.

The carriage went around to the side gate of Si Ye's mansion, and Zhang Bao drove straight into the East Garden without stopping.Ding Qi pushed the car window slightly, and was shocked by the painting-like pavilions and pavilions in front of him. Which fairy mansion did he enter?

Su Wei stayed busy all night in the west wing of the East Courtyard, and Wei Jingguo's life was finally temporarily saved.But none of them dared to move the feathered arrow that crossed their shoulders, so they could only sprinkle medicinal powder around it. As a result, Wei Jingguo developed a high fever before dawn.

"Here we come, here we come," Xiaoyingzi entered the door carrying a copper basin, "Eunuch Zhang invited the doctor here."

Su Wei breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and watched Zhang Bao leading a middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes into the room.

When the middle-aged man saw Su Wei in palace clothes, he was slightly taken aback, then glanced at the room briefly, and came straight to the patient on the bed with the medicine box on his back.

"The arrow didn't hurt the internal organs, so I need to take it out quickly. I need help," Ding Qi checked the patient's injury, and said to Su Wei while checking the pulse.

Just as Su Wei was about to go forward, he suddenly felt dizzy. Xiaoyingzi quickly stepped forward to support him, "Second Master, you haven't slept all night, go and rest. I'll be here."

"Yes, go and rest," Zhang Bao said two steps forward, "We'll just stay here, don't let the master worry."

Su Wei sighed, nodded, and let Xiao Yingzi help him back to the main room.

The fourth elder brother went to the palace to listen to the government as usual early in the morning, even though he had a heavy heart in his heart, he had to pretend to be calm and indifferent in front of people.

After finally making it to the next court, the fourth elder brother hurriedly walked towards Rijingmen, but he didn't want to be suddenly stopped halfway.

"Sibeile," Liang Jiugong bowed his waist slightly, with a smile that hadn't changed for decades, "The emperor is waiting for you in the Qianqing Palace, let's go with the servant."

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips slightly, nodded, followed Liang Jiugong and turned back to Qianqing Palace.

"My son pays respects to Huang Ama," the fourth elder brother bowed to salute.

"Get up," Master Kangxi took a pen dipped in vermilion ink, and wrote a few words on a booklet, "Due to the crown prince's illness, the journey to the south this time has only gone halfway. Next time in the south of the Yangtze River, you and the old thirteen will accompany me and the prince. Make good arrangements in your mansion, and bring a few more people with you. We will take people to serve you for two or three months after we leave. In retrospect, your backyard may not have been imported for a long time."

The fourth elder brother was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Let Huang Ama worry about it. My son is usually obsessed with Zen farming, and always neglects the backyard. From now on, I will obey Huang Ama to warn the police and pay more attention."

Lord Kangxi nodded, "Buddhism and Taoism have their own form, and farming is also a great plan for the people, but we can't act too hastily, let alone multi-task. I won't be disappointed after years of hidden cultivation."

The fourth elder brother shuddered, and quickly leaned over and said, "My son would like to follow Huang Ama's teachings."

When the fourth elder brother returned to the East Courtyard, he saw Su Wei lying on the couch with a shoe hanging crookedly, sleeping in a daze.Carefully took off his shoes for him, took a blanket and covered his lap, but Su Wei suddenly woke up, "Master! Wei Jingguo——"

"It's okay, it's okay," the fourth elder brother sat next to Su Wei, stroking his back, "Just now Zhang Bao has reported it, the doctor has pulled out the arrow for him, and prescribed the prescription, and now there is no danger. Once he wakes up, we can find out what happened."

Su Wei swallowed, nodded, and still looked nervously at the fourth elder brother, but seeing their fourth master sweep away the depression and haggardness of the previous few days, his expression became a little calmer and calmer.

"Master, you..." Su Wei frowned a little puzzled, "Are you going to court today?"

"It's okay," the fourth elder brother bent his mouth, let the sleepy Eunuch Su lie on his lap, and told Su Wei one by one what the emperor had summoned him.

Su Wei kicked the back of the couch angrily, "Speaking of it, the emperor still wants the master to retire. Why are there so many elder brothers who have to take the master as the leader? Isn't the eighth elder brother also jumping around? "

The fourth elder brother laughed, stretched out his hand to pinch Su Wei's face and said, "I really spoiled you, how can you say that about elder brother."

Su Wei avoids the hands of the fourth elder brother, raised his head and said, "I'm just not happy, the emperor is biased, he only picks soft persimmons, it's not kind at all..."

"Who are you calling soft persimmon?" The fourth elder brother slapped Su Wei on the head with a bang, "My lord, this is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and you use retreat to advance, understand?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand!" Su Wei rolled on the fourth elder brother's legs while clutching his forehead that hurt from the knock.

The fourth elder brother reached out to stop him, and took a bite on his pursed mouth, "Although Huang Ama asked me to concentrate on cultivating, she never mentioned Wei Qin's confession before and after. Don't let me down with that sentence, it's really better than that!" It is more powerful to be promoted to a noble. This shows that at least what I have done in the past few years is not wrong..."

Su Wei blinked his eyes, "cut", turned his head away, and went to sleep!Anyway, he is just a small person, so he can be a eunuch with peace of mind!

Evening

Ma Lian quietly entered Wang Qin's room with the food box, "Prince Wang..."

"Are you the chief manager?" Wang Qin looked at the food box in Ma Lian's hand in puzzlement, "Isn't this sent to the East Courtyard?"

"Yes," Ma Lian put the food box on the table, leaned towards Wang Qin and said, "You forgot what my brother told you last time. The higher-ups have explained that you would like to seek refuge there, but you have to pay for it." Things are a lottery."

Wang Qin pursed his lips, turned his head to look at the food box and said, "But what's the use of the top of this food box? Could it be inside—"

"No," Ma Lian waved his hands in a panic, "this food box has passed the hands of both of us, how can we do those things. Brother heard that a person was carried into the East courtyard by the side door last night. Zhang Bao drove the carriage and pulled another person back. This small east courtyard is usually strictly watched, so brothers don’t want to go in, you can only rely on your father-in-law. After inquiring about this news, there is no risk. Seeing your sincerity, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”

East courtyard

At nightfall, the fourth elder brother carried Su Wei to the bed to sleep, and Mr. Su rolled into the bed naturally, sleeping in the dark with his arms around the quilt.

"Master," Zhang Bao opened the curtain, and the fourth elder brother raised his hand to silence his voice. Seeing that Su Wei hadn't moved, the fourth elder brother quietly left the bedroom.

These days, he felt unhappy, and Su Wei also felt uncomfortable. He didn't have a good rest for several days in a row. He stayed up all night yesterday. He finally fell asleep today, so he couldn't wake him up again.

"Master, Wei Jingguo is awake," Zhang Bao bowed his head.

In the west wing, Wei Jingguo was lying sideways on the big mahogany bed with carved cloud patterns, his body was in pain, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.The little father-in-law who was watching from the side wiped him with a cloth towel from time to time.He was hit by an arrow, stabbed twice in the back, and fell off the carriage he was riding in. It can be said that he didn't have a comfortable place.But fortunately, God has eyes and let him keep his life. Whether he can make a fortune depends on today's golden opportunity.

It has to be said that Wei Jingguo is a rather careful and smart person. After being hired and controlled by Fu Nai's cronies, he was obedient on the surface, but in the interior, he always wanted to seize the opponent's handle and let himself take the initiative.After exchanging information with Fu Nai's subordinates several times, he sensitively found some clues, and following these trivial clues, he actually found his way all the way to Si Ye's mansion.

Wei Jingguo, who has not been reused for a long time and is particularly greedy for power and gold and silver, is determined to seize this opportunity after learning that his real employer is Sibeile.

Afterwards, Wei Jingguo desperately completed every task assigned by the Fourth Master's Mansion, including sneaking into the poetry club in Majia Hutong to find out about Shao Qian and Suo Xiang's further actions.But this time, under the calm surface of the capital, Wei Jingguo, who had never given up on his investigations, inadvertently came across another important news.

When the fourth elder brother walked into the west wing room, Wei Jingguo was struggling to get up, seeing the fourth elder brother approaching, he propped himself up and wanted to kneel on the ground.

"Okay," Zhang Bao glanced at the raised eyebrows of the fourth elder brother, and raised his voice, "Master doesn't pay attention to these things. You have injuries on your body. Don't force it. It's important to talk about business."

"Yes, yes," Wei Jingguo prostrated himself on the bed, his head resting on his hands, his voice was panting, and he coughed slightly, "This slave is here to plead guilty to Lord Baylor. The matter is important, and this slave found out by accident, cough Cough, my real master didn't want to cause trouble for the master. However, the slave was afraid that he would not be able to delay, so he rushed to the mansion at the risk of death—"

"Okay," the fourth elder brother walked to the bed step by step with his hands behind his back, "I have seen your loyalty. I also know your alertness. It's just that I don't like to pretend to be smart, so I am very happy about your achievements." People, you have to be clear in your heart. Now, let's talk about the business, the master will see that your matter is of great importance, whether it is worth it for the master to save you once."

Wei Jingguo froze, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Yes, the slave is taught. Speaking of Lord Baylor, the slave saw several letters in Shao Gan's study, and one of them was sent by Shao Gan to the infantry commander entrusted by Suo Etu. Aligned."
