Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 43 years

In the evening, East Courtyard

As soon as the fourth elder brother returned to the mansion, he heard about the bad things about the West Secondary Academy from Zhang Qilin's big mouth.

"Where's Su Peisheng?" The fourth elder brother walked around the room, but there was no one there.

"Go back to Lord Baylor, Master is in his own room in the backyard," Xiaoyingzi poked his head out from the door and said.

The fourth elder brother sighed silently, and walked towards the backyard.

In the bedroom, six large suitcases were left open, clothes and boots were thrown all over the floor, Grand Duke Su was writhing about under the bed with his back pouted.

"What are you looking for?" The fourth elder brother was stopped at the door of the room where he had nowhere to go. After looking left and right, he jumped over a box and sat cross-legged on the couch.

"I'm looking for the box that I gave you back then." Su Wei backed out from under the bed and sat down on the ground, "It's the box containing puzzles, kites, and Hua Rongdao. You gave it back when you were a coward." mine."

The fourth prince squinted his eyes and sat face to face with the disgraced Mr. Su. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "You're a coward. It's been such a long time. Why are you looking for it?"

"Burn it," Su Wei slapped his knees, "Shiyue can do a lot of things by making me a pair of insoles. If the box is dug out, it might cause a lot of trouble. You forgot the one at the beginning. Have you worn it?"

"Your head is blocked by something, it's just toys, what's the big deal," the fourth elder brother leaned back on the couch.

Su Wei pursed his lips, took out two seals from his sleeve and looked at them, the fourth elder brother sat up abruptly and said, "What do you want to do?"

Su Wei swallowed, and shrank back to the bed, "I'm also reluctant, but compared to that box of toys, this seal and ring are more suspicious, aren't they?"

"Who will doubt it? Who dares to doubt it?" The fourth elder brother was angry, "Be more honest, dare to damage the things that the Lord gave you, and live a very peaceful life, right?"

"I didn't mean to break it," Su Wei grinned flatteringly, "I just wanted to temporarily return the things to the Lord and put them in your place, so it would be safe."

The fourth elder brother narrowed his eyes slowly, and the room dropped ten degrees instantly.Su Wei rubbed his arms, thinking that it would be safer to get under the bed for a while, or escape out the door, when he heard a faint voice say, "Don't think about it!"

Grandpa Su got angry, and he jumped up and said, "Why, I did this for the harmony of people and animals in the mansion. Why can't we return it for our personal safety? When you returned my box, That's called a neat and righteous one, but it didn't take into account my painstaking efforts over the years, you know I—"

"Then I took it back, didn't I?" Fourth Prince raised his voice to interrupt Grandpa Su's full of complaints.

Su Wei was stunned for a while, seeing that the fourth brother's face was flushed to the base of his neck, and then asked with his hands tied, "When did you take it back?"

"You still have the nerve to ask," the fourth elder brother kicked off the kang table and lay down on the couch, "When I moved from elder brother's house to the mansion, the box was placed in the corner of the carriage, dusty, beside the box It's all worn out."

Su Wei scratched his head, hopped over several boxes, and sat down next to the fourth elder brother, "The box was stuffed under my bed and I never took it out again. I wanted to throw it away when I moved, but then I thought It's a pity, so I put it in the car. Later, when I moved to the house, I forgot, and I thought it was under the bed all the time."

Fourth elder brother turned his head and glared at Su Wei, "The master has kept those things for a long time, even if they are returned to you, you shouldn't be so disrespectful."

"You don't make excuses." Grandpa Su kicked his legs dissatisfied, "You have been preserved for so long, but I spent all my efforts to make it bit by bit. You returned it to me, I thought I would burn it at that time Yes, Kukui sent it back to me again..."

The fourth elder brother frowned and held back for a while, then slowly let out his breath, "I heard what Zhang Qilin said about today's matter, don't be afraid, it's not for you. Besides, who dares to come to the East Courtyard now Turn over things? What's more, even if those things are turned over, it's nothing."

"I know," Su Wei tugged at the sleeves of the fourth elder brother, "I just don't know what to do. Now that the court is in such a mess, all the elder brothers have started to move around. The emperor seems to have the eyes of the sky. I don't even know. I'm really afraid that at this juncture, something will be brought out because of the two of us."

"Don't worry," the fourth elder brother patted Su Wei on the back, hugged him to his chest and lay down, "The things in the backyard can't be solved, and now Huang Ama's eyes are fixed on the prince and elder brother How could you pay attention to these trivial matters. Even if you don’t have many heirs, but at least with Hong Hui, the status of the eldest son is left there, no one can tell the truth.”

Su Wei blinked his eyes, listened to Si Age's heartbeat, and nodded slightly.

The fourth elder brother bent his lips, touched the man's fluffy braid, and was about to do something when he heard a muffled voice say, "Master, it's time for you to take a bath, you smell like horse shit."

Fujin Courtyard

Shi Yao led Li Shi into the inner hall, and Fujin sat on the couch, holding a scroll of Buddhist scriptures in his hand.

"My concubine pays respects to Fujin," Li Shi blessed Fu Jin's body.

"Get up," Fujin lowered his head and touched the lines on the scriptures, "Please come here in the middle of the night, please sit down and have a cup of tea first."

"Thank you Fujin," Li said as she sat down at the round table, "My concubine wanted to report to Fujin about what happened today, but it was a little late, so I didn't come here in a hurry for fear of disturbing Fujin's rest."

"You are kind," Fujin sighed, "it's just that this matter has reached my ears, and it's really disturbing. I won't ask you clearly. Tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to close it with just one glance. .”

"It's my concubine's lack of consideration," Li pursed her lips, "Actually, it's not a big deal at all. It's just that Song Gege mistook the rumors of the servants and thought that there was something wrong between Sister Wu and Mr. Su. I After hearing the news, I persuaded him a few words before leaving, I don't want to disturb Fujin so soon."

"That's right." Fujin breathed a sigh of relief, "Then how did I hear that the Wu family made some boots and clothes for Su Peisheng?"

"There is indeed such a thing," Li said, bending the corners of her lips, "but it's just some scraps, and Lord Belle knows about it. This ordinary human relationship, in the eyes of that unknown little girl What kind of ambiguous feelings have become. But in fact, Eunuch Su is an eunuch no matter what, and Sister Wu is so favored, this matter is impossible both emotionally and rationally."

"Well, since that's the case, I can feel a little more at ease." Fujin picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "However, there shouldn't be such ambiguity between the servants and the servants, otherwise, wouldn't it be good to spread the word to the outside world?" Lost fourth master's face?"

"What Fujin said is what Fujin said." Shi Li lowered her head slightly, "Fortunately, not many people know about it. Although Sister Song didn't report to Fujin early in the morning, she also knew that it was not appropriate to say so. I will go back and talk to Sister Wu. Let her have less private communication with the servants in the future."

Fujin glanced at Mrs. Li, with a slightly cold face, "You have sealed the side Fujin and lived in the Xipei courtyard, so you should pay more attention to the intrigue between each other. Now that Ilha is grown up, she must It would be good to accumulate some blessings for my daughter."

Mrs. Li was taken aback for a moment, but her expression did not change, she just lowered her head slowly and said, "Thank you Fujin for your guidance, I will remember it in my heart."

Fujin turned his eyes away, put the scriptures by the table, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Song made her own decision and overstepped her authority. She was fined three months of money. Mrs. Wu was fined one month of money for her misbehavior. The slaves who spread the message are twenty boards per person!"

"Yes," Mrs. Li pursed her lips, stood up and saluted to accept the order.

next day

Early in the morning, just after Fujin finished washing, Zhang Qilin came with the order of the fourth elder brother, "Mr. Song is sour and jealous, and makes troubles. He will be fined for half a year and banned for three months; Mr. Wu will be wronged for nothing, and his reputation will be damaged. One set, a pair of white jade bracelets; another, Da Gege is ten years old, a box of makeup jewelry, and two boxes of clothes."

"Master, what do you think?" Shi Yao sent Zhang Qilin away, turned around and asked Fujin.

Fujin sighed lightly, and sat down at the round table, "The Song family's side Fujin is lost, this person, what he is most afraid of is self-inflicted evil."

Shi Yao bit her lip, frowned and said, "Then Li Fang Fujin—"

"Do you think she succeeded?" Fujin glanced at Shi Yao, "Master Belle is very clear, adding makeup to Da Gege is not for nothing. This is to tell the people in the house that no matter what the Song family is, Mo Yaqi is the eldest daughter of the fourth master's mansion, this love and favor will not change."

At the beginning of June, Lord Kangxi set off on his tour of the north, and Beijing and central China became quiet for the time being, and the matter of building mansions for elder brothers was also put on hold for the time being.

Su Wei lay under the jujube tree in the east courtyard every day, enjoying the rare leisure, while the fourth elder brother was soaking in the study every day, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

In Luanjia's army, the atmosphere was a little weird, the emperor was often accompanied by the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers, and the crown prince and Zhijun king didn't show up very often.The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother hunted and raced horses every day, and welcomed the Mongolian nobles, and they became the two busiest people.

In the blink of an eye, August is approaching, and Luanjia is leaving for Beijing. The emperor has approved the post that the fourth elder brother has arranged for Nian Gengyao in the Ministry of Officials, and he will go to Sichuan with Ye Jiusi in the near future.

In mid-August, the emperor returned to the palace, and Jue Luo Huaxian, the former governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, died of illness.Among the recommended ministers, Gansu governor Qi Shiwu is undoubtedly the most qualified.

At this time, the fourth elder brother, who had been outside the dispute over the post of governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, was pulled into the whirlpool by a sudden news.Nalan Mingzhu begged the queen mother to be the master, and betrothed the daughter of her eldest son Nalan Xingde to Nian Gengyao, who was about to take office.
