Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 43 years

At the end of March, Siye Mansion

Under the guidance of Zhang Bao, Dai Duo entered the study room, and saluted the fourth elder brother, "Slave Dai Duo, kowtow to Lord Baylor, and wish Lord Baylor good health."

Su Wei raised his eyebrows standing behind the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother leaned back in the chair, "Get up."

"Thank you Belle Lord for your grace," Dai Duo got up, still standing with his head bowed, and he was still energetic in his thirties.

"Tingzheng sent a letter to Beijing to recommend you to the Lord." The fourth elder brother looked at Dai Duo a few times, and said slowly, "You said that you are knowledgeable, wise and thoughtful, but you have never found an official position. I don't know why. For what reason?"

"Master Baylor's enlightenment, Brother Shen is really absurd." Dai Duo bowed his body, "I usually like to read some idle books and like to analyze current affairs indiscriminately, just to gain some false fame among friends. The imperial examination process requires careful and hard work. Reading and studying the examination books carefully is really boring for slaves, and there is no way to follow the rules."

The fourth elder brother raised the corners of his mouth, feeling relaxed, "Idle books also have great wisdom, I believe in Tingzheng's vision. Tell me what books you like to read usually."

"To make Lord Baylor laugh," Dai Duo cupped his hands, "I am willing to read history, especially unofficial folk history. Recently I got the rubbings of "Wanli Ye Huo Bian" at the end of Ming Dynasty, and I can't put it down."

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips and nodded in agreement, ""History of Ming Dynasty" is currently being compiled, and most of the historical materials are found from "Wanli Ye Huo Bian". It is a good book. A lot can be learned.”

Dai Duo smiled, glanced at the fourth elder brother and lowered his head and said, "Master Belle is right. I have learned a lot from studying Ming history. If you explain the sixteen emperors in the dynasty, the one I admire most is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di."

"Oh?" The fourth elder brother narrowed his eyes slightly, "Zhu Di built a cabinet, reformed the administration of officials, and moved the capital to Beijing. He really made a lot of achievements. It's just that he ignored his father's will, raised troops, and moved the king to Beijing, which is inevitably criticized by others."

"Heroes don't ask where they come from," Dai Duo bowed down. "Slaves think that everything has two sides. The so-called success is the king and the loser is the bandit. The difference is often only in the heart."

"It's not an exaggeration what you say, Mister." The fourth elder brother pursed his lips, "Since Mister is familiar with Ming history, then stay at the mansion for now and teach Honghui with Fu Min."

"Master Belle, slave—" Dai Duo was taken aback for a moment, and Su Wei stepped forward and said, "Mr. Dai, please, slave will arrange a place for you."

Dai Duo glanced at Su Wei, pursed his lips and lowered his body, and said, "Thank you for the grace of Lord Belle, this slave will leave."

Su Wei arranged Dai Duo to a room on the East Road, and sent a servant to wait on him, then turned and went back to the study.

"Master, what are you going to do with Dai Duo?" Su Wei sat next to the fourth elder brother, "He was both Mingshi and Zhudi just now, why does it sound like he wants to persuade us to rebel."

The fourth elder brother smiled and shook his head, "This man has ideas and ambitions, but he is not enough for the city. He just wanted to use the battle of Jingnan to test whether the master has the intention to seize the reserve. It's just that if you can't learn the principle of keeping a low profile and restraining your edge, the Lord is not going to use him. Otherwise, it will be a lot of trouble in the future."

"Oh," Su Wei nodded in a trance, he didn't have much impression of this Dai Duo, so he stopped asking, and said instead, "Brother Honghui put in six haha ​​beads, and the waiters should add a few more." It’s too much. There are few internal prisons in our mansion, and there are maids and nurses in the backyard, so it’s very inconvenient to do heavy work. I’m thinking, why don’t we ask for more people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs at this time.”

"No need," the fourth elder brother lay down on the couch and put his legs on Su Wei's lap, "Did you forget about Zhang Qilin? I'm afraid that not only Huang Ama's eyes, but also someone with ulterior motives like Ma Lian's. It's enough for Honghui's servants to be transferred from idlers, and it's enough for the internal prisoner to have Chai Yu to follow him for the time being. Next, let’s talk about it after a while.”

Su Wei pursed the corners of his lips, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to the fourth elder brother, "Is the prince going to do something? The emperor just mentioned Ling Pu a year ago, isn't it so fast?"

The fourth elder brother sighed slowly, leaning his arms on his head and looking at the beams of the house, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, there is no way to avoid it, I hope it will come soon..."

Zhijun Palace

Eldest brother and Longkodo were playing chess in the corridor, and the attendants came in a hurry, and after saluting, they handed elder brother a letter.

Longkodo raised his eyebrows and glanced at the letter Nalan on the envelope, then lowered his head to stare at the chessboard.

After reading the letter, King Zhijun dismissed his attendants and handed the letter to Longkodo.

"Prince of the county," Long Keduo was taken aback for a moment, and took the letter, but what was written in the letter was all about corruption and bribery of Ling Pu, the new head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and using public affairs for personal gain.

"This fellow is too courageous." Long Kedo tightened his thick eyebrows, "The emperor just investigated and dealt with the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Kedai, and he didn't even know how to restrain himself. It is really a waste of the Holy Majesty to do these outrageous things at this time." promoted."

The king of Zhijun raised his lips slightly, held up a chess piece, and said with disdain, "Ling Pu is a villain. If it wasn't because his wife had raised the crown prince, even if it took 300 years, he wouldn't be able to take the position. The government is in charge of the royal house, and the oil and water here are not bad compared to the Ministry of Household Affairs, so how can such a villain sit in such a fat position and not make a fortune?"

Long Kedo raised his eyebrows, pondered for a while, and said, "The king of Zhijun wants to participate in Lingpu's book?"

"Me?" Eldest brother smiled coldly and shook his head, "I don't have time for such thankless things."

Longkodo frowned, looked at the letter in his hand, and glanced at the pieces on the chessboard, but said nothing.

Siyefu

Doctor Ding retreated from Song's house, followed by his maid Yang'er.

"Miss, please stay." Ding Qi leaned over, "Young master is fine, the servant has taken the medicine and will send someone to bring it in a while."

"Thank you, doctor." Yang'er pursed her lips, looked back at the room, and lowered her voice again, "My little master has been ill for a long time, and his complexion is not good. Please ask the doctor to prescribe some nourishing and beautifying medicine." , so that we can suffer together.”

"Yes," Ding Qi rolled his eyes, lowered his head slightly and said, "I understand."

Ding Qi left the yard, Yang'er turned back and entered Song's bedroom, Song Gege looked haggard, his lips were pale, and his eyes were dark blue, he seemed to be ten years old for no reason.

"My lord, Doctor Ding said that you are fine, just take a few more medicines and you will be fine." Yang'er walked to the bed and tucked the quilt for Mrs. Song.

Song sighed softly, turned her head and looked into the bed, "So what if it's okay or not? It doesn't matter how you live your life."

"Little master," Yang'er squatted under the bed, holding Song's hand, "Don't sigh like this, life depends on how people live, as long as there is hope in the heart, there will always be a bright future."

Song smirked, but the corners of her eyes became moist, "Men stand at thirty, women at thirty... this life is fixed, what else can we look forward to..."

"Little master," Yang'er frowned, "You still have Da Gege, Da Gege is not married yet, how come you have no hope?"

"Big Gege?" Mrs. Song called softly, her voice was weak, "If the fourth elder brother had a little bit of Gu Nian Mo Yaqi's identity, he would not ignore me like this. Mrs. Li has become a side Fujin, and her daughter is bound to die again." If you want to overwhelm my daughter, in the inner courtyard of this deep house, we mother and daughter are all looked down upon."

"My lord, why do you think so?" Yang'er leaned into Song's ear, "Our Princess is the eldest daughter of Lord Belle, even if Li's conferred the title of side Fujin, her daughter is not considered a legitimate daughter, How could you overwhelm us? Besides you, when you were in Elder Brother’s house, you were no less favored than Li Gege. After the establishment of the mansion, you were the one who slacked off. In terms of age, Li Gege is not a few years younger than you. Isn't Lord Belle still pampering you?"

Song frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Yang'er, "Then tell me, what should I do?"

Li's house

Yilha looked up with a smiling face, walked around the room like a butterfly, and finally jumped in front of Mrs. Li, full of envy, "Emiang, your room is so beautifully decorated, Ama appreciates it. Mother has so many good things."

Li Shi raised the corner of her mouth, and nodded Yi Erha's nose, "Did you see something here again? The little mouth is so sweet."

"I don't have it," Ilha pouted, "My daughter is happy for Er Niang. There are so many people in the backyard, so Amma sealed Er Niang, which shows that Amma really likes Er Niang."

Mrs. Li was slightly taken aback, and watched her daughter reluctantly twitch her mouth, "Your Mama is a person who does great things, and Er Niang never expects too much. Now, Er Niang only hopes that you will have a good home, and you will marry me in the future." A nice family."

Yi Erha blinked his eyes, lowered his head and twisted his fingers and said, "Daughter heard that the daughters of our Aixinjueluo family will marry to Mongolia when they grow up. Where is Mongolia? Is it far from Er Niang? "

Mrs. Li gasped, and pulled Ilha into her arms, "Who did you hear this from? Your Ama told you?"

Yilha shook his head, and said in a daze, "I heard it from the girls. It seems that Eunuch Su mentioned it to Nanny Li."

"Su Peisheng?" Mrs. Li squeezed her handkerchief tightly, her beautiful eyebrows tightly knit together.

At the beginning of April, the fourteenth elder brother got married, and the palace was full of excitement.

Yinti's wedding banquet was not as low-key as Yinxiang's, except that elder brother Suo also specially set up a banquet at Ruifuju in Beijing.Ninth elder brother, tenth elder brother and a few younger ones were the most able to join in the fun, and in the end they drank all the way from elder brother's place to Ruifuju.

The fourth elder brother frowned as he watched from the side, the eighth elder brother stepped forward and said, "Fourth brother, don't worry, younger brother is here to watch. The fourth elder brother also held back a lot of wine for Yinzhen just now, why don't you go back home to rest as soon as possible."

The fourth elder brother glanced at the eighth elder brother, but did not answer, Su Wei secretly sighed from the side.

"Yinti, stop playing, hurry back to the palace!" The fourth elder brother stepped into the room and shouted at the several elder brothers who were making a fuss.

"Fourth brother," Yinti walked up crookedly, "I'm the official bridegroom tonight!"

"You still know that you are the bridegroom's official!" The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows and winked at the slave next to him, "What does it sound like to throw Xin Fujin in the palace by himself? Come back to the palace with me!"

"I won't go back," Yinti dodged the servant who came to help him, "I'm married, I'm an adult, you always treat me like a child, I don't want you to care!"

"Oh, Lord Fourteen." Seeing this, Su Wei hurriedly stepped forward to support Elder Fourteen, "You are still one step away from getting married. You will be an adult when you return to the palace."

"Still one step away?" Little Fourteen was a little dizzy, looking at Su Wei in a daze and said, "Then I haven't grown up yet?"

"That's right," Grandpa Su helped the fourteenth elder brother to go out, and began to ramble, "So, you are still a child now, and you have to be obedient. If you want to be disobedient, you have to first Go back to the palace and finish entering the bridal chamber."

"Oh," Yinti replied anxiously, then frowned again, "But, I already have a son?"

"Uh... That doesn't count!" Grand Eunuch Su's eyes were firm.

With a question mark on his head, Yinti was picked up by the servants and helped into the carriage, while the fourth elder brother secretly rolled his eyes at the side.

"Grandpa Su is really different, no wonder the fourth elder brother uses him so much," said the eighth elder brother, who saw everything in his eyes, walked behind the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother looked back at the eighth elder brother, with an indifferent expression, "You take care of the nine and ten, I will take a few younger ones back to the palace first."

"Yes, fourth brother, don't worry," the eighth elder brother lowered his head slightly, watching the fourth elder brother lead a few younger elder brothers into the carriage and drive away to the palace.
