Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 42 years

At the beginning of October, Siye Mansion

The Fujin courtyard was brightly lit, and all kinds of dishes were sent into the inner hall like water.There are two tables of banquets in the middle of the room, Si elder brother, Fujin and several young masters are at the same table, Li Shi, Song Shi, Wu Shi are at the same table.

All the female relatives had smiles on their faces, and Fujin also had a slightly happy expression on his face, only the fourth elder brother was not so happy.

Su Wei stood behind the fourth elder brother and sighed silently for Fujin. The original intention of the fourth elder brother was to invite a few children to have a potluck with Fujin.As a result, Fujin actually alarmed the entire backyard, Yingying and Yanyan got together, and the home-cooked meal became a family feast.The fourth elder brother wanted to talk about family happiness and make up for his guilt towards his married wife, but it was all in vain.

"Our elder brother Honghui is getting more energetic the longer he grows, his eyebrows, eyes and nose are exactly the same as our master's," Mrs. Li looked at Honghui and said with a smile.

Fujin patted Honghui on the head, with a soft tone, "I only hope that Honghui can be as smart as our master, and put more thought into his homework."

"Er Niang, I've been working hard recently," Hong Hui straightened his body, "If you don't believe me, ask Ama, Master and Ama praised me."

The fourth elder brother bent his lips, "Yes, Honghui has been working hard recently and has made great progress. Ama was thinking of taking you to the countryside for a horse race, and then I will hire you a master who knows how to practice riding and shooting. .”

"Ama, you can't be partial!" Ilha's eyes lit up when he heard the horse race, "My daughter has been working hard recently, you can't just take your brother to play!"

"Ilha," Li Shi glared at her daughter from the side.

The fourth elder brother smiled, "Okay, okay, all go, all go. The daughters of our Manchu family are no worse than men, and they have to learn horseback riding and archery."

"Speaking of horseback riding and archery, I think of something." Fu Jin pursed his lips lightly and said to the fourth elder brother, "Honghui will be eight years old next year, and the haha ​​beads around here should be prepared."

"Well," the fourth elder brother nodded thoughtfully, "Pick two of the right age from Fujin's natal family, and I will pick a few good ones from the inlaid white flag."

"Master is thoughtful," Fujin nodded slightly.

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes from the side, and said with a smile on her face, "Master, Fujin, our elder brother Honghui is getting older, and the people who serve around him should know the basics. I just remembered that my brother Li Han has a son. , I am ten years old this year. If Fujin doesn't feel abrupt, why not let that child follow our elder brother as an accompanying attendant, so that he can be easily dispatched when necessary."

As soon as Li's words fell, the room fell into a brief silence, and Song and the others secretly looked at Fujin's face.

Fujin's demeanor remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth were lightly pursed, he turned his head to look at the fourth elder brother and said, "What do you think? It stands to reason that there must be some people around Honghui who are little followers. Haha Zhuzi is from a family, so he can't serve you It’s a human’s job. The attendant’s companion might really have to choose from among the slaves.”

Fujin's words of "servant" made Li's face turn cold, and Su Wei was stunned watching from behind.However, what Fujin said made people feel unreasonable. Now that Li Han is the manager of the East Road in Si Ye's mansion, he is indeed a slave.

"The people around Honghui can't be vague," the fourth elder brother put down his chopsticks leisurely, "Master Huihui will be tested by someone, and if he is suitable, he will be assigned to Honghui."

"That's what I said," Fujin nodded slightly, then turned to Li Shi and said, "Although it is your natal family, you can't go beyond the rules. Let our master take a look later, it is really impossible to send it to the princesses It’s good to be a servant.”

Fujin's arrangement can be regarded as relegating Li Gege's natal family to the dust. Li suffocated for a while, and after looking at the fourth elder brother for a few times, she finally lowered her eyes and did not speak again.

The momentary silence in the room was scary, only the bubbling mutton pot still made a little noise.

It's really boring to have a family banquet like this. Su Wei was thinking about whether to find a reason to help the fourth elder brother get away. Over there, Niu Hulu stood up slowly with a glass of wine, "Master, Fujin, I'm taking the liberty I don’t understand the rules soon after entering the mansion. Today, my family is here, and I want to borrow flowers to present Buddha. I respect my father, Fujin and all my sisters. Be more tolerant, sisters, please give me more points."

"Okay, Rong Yue is a gifted person." The fourth elder brother held up his wine glass and curled his mouth, "Fujin Xianliang, all your sisters are also sensible, walk around more in the future, just don't get confused."

"Yes," Niu Hulu's Rong Yue blessed Fushen, followed the crowd to drink the wine, and then looked at the young masters and said, "I entered the mansion late, and Honghui elder brother and the two little princesses are not the same. I can only ask sister Wu for advice, and simply made a few sachets, counting it as a little favor from my concubine."

Niu Hulu's maid, Mu Lan, brought up three sachets at the right time, which were unique in appearance and fragrant.For Honghui, brown cotton brocade and golden thread embroidered cloud patterns, for Mo Yaqi and Ilha, peach pastel thread embroidered with hundreds of flowers wearing sparrows.

The young masters were very happy to receive it, and they all stood up to return the gift. Fujin smiled softly and said, "You really put your heart into it, and this skill is not bad compared to Wu's."

Shiyue pursed her lips and smiled slightly. Niu Hulu sat down after saluting, and then bent her eyes to look at Shiyue. The two sisters seemed to be quite harmonious.

The atmosphere in the room finally became more lively. Nanny Li showed the female red embroidery of two little princesses to the fourth elder brother and Fujin, and the crooked way brought a lot of fun.

Su Wei breathed out secretly, just as the big stone in his heart was put down, someone secretly tugged on Su Wei's sleeve.

Su Wei looked down and saw that it was Er Gege Yierha, who, under the cover of Nanny Li, pulled his sleeve hard under the table.Su Wei slightly bent down and took a look. It turned out that a chopstick had fallen to the fourth elder brother's feet.

The maid serving Ilha's meal secretly brought new chopsticks to Er GeGe, but no one dared to pick up the one lying on the ground.

Ilha is already nine years old, and at the age when he wants to save face, the daughter of the aristocratic family pays attention to rest, and Ilha is afraid that he will make a fool of himself in public when he withdraws from the banquet.What's more, Er Niang has already been humiliated by Fujin just now, if she loses face again, she really won't be able to hold her head up.

Su Wei blinked, and then looked at Er Gege, Er Gege clasped his hands together in a begging gesture.Su Wei took a deep breath, and while everyone's eyes were on Nanny Li, he quickly bent down, pulled the fourth elder brother's feet away, and put the chopsticks into his sleeves.

The fourth elder brother was stabbed inexplicably, and turned his head to look at Su Wei. Eunuch Su held his sleeves and looked like a fool looking at me.

Yilha next to him stared at Su Peisheng with his mouth half open, and then he recovered and sat down.

Into the night

Su Wei followed the fourth elder brother back to the East Courtyard. The two of them sighed together and went to the couch. The meal was more tiring than the court banquet.

"I didn't think so," the fourth elder brother looked at the ceiling. "Today, I was at the funeral of my sister-in-law. Looking at my elder brother's appearance, I really felt sorry for Fujin. The one who lives in heaven and earth, not to mention Honghui. Master thought, after so many years, just being a family member should have some affection, maybe we can get along well..."

Su Wei turned his head and glanced at the fourth elder brother, took off his big cap and put it on his chest, "You and Fujin haven't seen each other for ten and a half months, how can you have a relationship so easily? Let you go to the backyard, and you Don't pay much attention to Fujin. Calculated, you have more affection with Li and Song than with Fujin."

The fourth elder brother raised the corners of his mouth, turned around and put his legs on Su Wei, and said with a smile, "Why, Mr. Su is eating? Why do you sound sour?"

"Cut, I'm too lazy to be jealous," Su Wei sat up with his mouth flattened, "It's because you are too hard to serve, today Fujin is also upset because Li Gege put his brains on Honghui. The atmosphere of this family banquet It needs to be reconciled, you are stuck there like a wooden stake, it will be strange if a group of women don't fight."

"You are just a wooden pile." The fourth elder brother raised his hand and slapped Su Wei, "You are the master of this house, and you have to win the smiles of a bunch of women after eating a meal. Can't you have some face?"

"Face, face, can face be eaten?" Su Wei was indignant, "Fu Jin is also a person who wants face, and you two are really a match when you meet..."

"Who are you talking about?" Si elder brother sat up thumpingly, "Who do you say is a natural match with Master? Huh?"

"A person who wants to save face!" Eunuch Su yelled back fearlessly with his neck stuck, and the fourth elder brother gritted his gums and slowly narrowed his eyes.

3 minutes later,

"I, I, I... Is it okay that you and I are a natural match?" (T﹏T)

Zhijun Palace

After seeing off the last group of condolence guests, King Zhijun sat alone in the study for the whole night.

In the early morning, the eunuch Li Jinzhong brought breakfast and walked into the study, "Master, you have been busy for a few days, please have some porridge."

King Zhijun looked at the tray, Li Jinzhong stepped forward and said, "What Fujin is most afraid of on weekdays is that you don't eat on time, look at this side dish that goes with the porridge, it was specially ordered by Fujin to prepare the kitchen before his death. "

"Bring it here," Zhijun Wang leaned back on the chair, his voice hoarse.

"Yes," Li Jinzhong hurried forward and put the food on the table, but at this moment, the porter came to report that Mingxiang's carriage had arrived at the door.

Nalan Mingzhu followed the servants all the way into the study, the elder brother was still drinking porridge, he didn't get up when he saw Mingxiang, he just smiled reluctantly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ms. No?"

Nalan Mingzhu didn't care too much, and sat down on the chair brought by Li Jinzhong with a calm expression, "The old minister was worried about the health of the king, so he came here early. Seeing that the king is eating well, he is relieved."

King Zhijun drank the last sip of porridge with side dishes, his face turned rosy, "Don't worry, Mingxiang, I have worked hard for so many years, and I will not get down at this time."

"It's good that the king has this determination," Nalan Mingzhu straightened his expression, and then looked at Li Jinzhong who was standing behind King Zhi.

Suddenly, Li Jinzhong lowered his head to collect the food on the table, and walked out of the study with a bow.

"Eunuch Li," the elder brother Yuan came to meet with the eunuch He Zhou, and nodded at Li Jinzhong with a smile on his face.

Li Jinzhong glanced at him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Mingxiang is inside, if Mr. He has something to do, please come back later."

He Zhou stopped and waited under the porch, Li Jinzhong ignored him, got up and went back to his residence.

Li Jinzhong succeeded He Zhou as the chief eunuch of Prince Zhijun, and he also had his own room in the palace.Li Jinzhong's apprentice Xiao Changzi has followed Li Jinzhong for more than ten years, and is the only slave who can enter Li Jinzhong's house at will.

Li Jinzhong went back to the room, took out a pen and paper from the box, wrote two lines, stuffed it into the hollow pen tube and handed it to Xiao Changzi, "Be quick with your hands and feet, and send it to Mingxiang Pavilion."

"Yes," Xiao Changzi skillfully took the brush, stuffed it into his sleeve, turned and went out.
