Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 44 years

In the evening, outside the gate of Shenwu

Liang Jiugong, who changed into casual clothes, greeted the soldiers guarding the city gate with a smile, and walked up the long street with three steps.

At the corner, Si Age's carriage was parked in the alley, and Zhang Bao brought Liang Jiugong to the front of the carriage.

"The slave pays respects to Four Baylor, Lord Baylor is auspicious."

The fourth elder brother opened the car window, with a smile on his lips, "Eunuch Liang really hides everything, I never imagined that Queen Mother would put those things here with Eunuch."

"Master Baylor was joking," Liang Jiugong cupped his hands, "I received the empress's great kindness, and I just help the empress keep some playthings, and give them to the right people at the right time."

As he spoke, Liang Jiugong took out a flat wooden box from his bosom and handed it to the fourth elder brother, then bent down and said, "At this point, the slave is considered to have completed his merits and virtues. For other things, the slave, an eunuch, doesn't want to get involved too much. Lord Baylor, please forgive me. Long live there, the master still has something to order, and the slave will leave first."

"Master," Zhang Bao looked at the fourth elder brother, and then at Liang Jiugong who turned around and left.

The fourth elder brother raised his hand, lowered his head and fiddled with the wooden box, "Let him go, this man is somewhat loyal, and it's no wonder the empress asked him to do something."

"Master, the Thirteenth Master," Zhang Bao frowned.

"Yinxiang was caught by Huang Ama." The fourth elder brother put away the wooden box and held the Rubik's Cube in his hand again, "I'm afraid I will hurt him if I want to enter the palace rashly. If the East Palace really wants to change Lord, there must be someone to take his place and shut up the mouths of the world. But, why choose Yinxiang?"

At the end of May, Daliangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing

Eunuch Su paced back and forth in the room, holding the letter from the capital in his hand, but his brows were furrowed more and more tightly.

Xiaoyingzi exchanged winks with Kukui for a long time, and finally bit the bullet and stepped forward, "Master, did something happen to Lord Baylor?"

"Oh," Su Wei folded the letter papers in his hands, and sat down on the chair. Murcha, who was by the door, swallowed nervously, but listened to this magical father-in-law, "One didn't pay attention, The master quarreled with the Fourteenth Master again. What do you say is wrong with these two brothers? The temper is worse than the other, as stubborn as a donkey, and they don't know how to restrain themselves when they meet each other, and they will only be satisfied if they make you die!"

Murcha was frightened by Su Gonggong's disrespectful words, and Ku Kui frowned, stepped forward to pull Murcha up and said, "The boss has something else to do, let's go out and talk."

Xiao Yingzi watched Ku Kui drag Murcha away, leaned close to Su Wei and asked, "How about the ambush by Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing last time?"

"It didn't work," Su Wei lowered his head and pursed his mouth. "The group of people failed to assassinate and committed suicide collectively. The master ordered someone to dispose of the body and did not pursue further investigation."

"That's fine," Xiaoyingzi scratched the back of his head, "It's going to be a big mess, and it would be terrible if the assassins really chased him to Shengjing. But, let those people and Ling Pu escape, and it's easier for them. "

"The Prince and King Zhijun are involved in Ling Pu's matter," Su Wei pressed the letter, "If the emperor really wants to deal with it, the relationship between the princes will definitely change. The master said that the situation in Beijing has been weird recently, and it may be the big one." Changes are about to happen. However, fortunately, in the hands of our grandfather, we already have enough bargaining chips."

Kukui sent Murcha away, turned around and went back to the house, "Grandpa Su, the head of the village said that the first batch of leather materials is almost harvested, but the quality is average. If you want to get good leather goods, I'm afraid you have to go to Mongolia for a while." trip."

"Mongolia," Su Wei bit the envelope and leaned on the back of the chair, "Speaking of which, the emperor is about to go on a northern tour..."

Siye Mansion, Xipei Hospital

Early in the morning, Nian's room was quite lively, with all kinds of silks and satins piled on the table.

Niu Hulu and Geng walked around the round table, picking out silks and satins.Shi Yue sat beside Song Shi, her face was quite gentle.Mrs. Li sat on one side of the couch, drinking tea with her eyes downcast, without saying a word.

Nian sat on the other side, pursing the corners of his mouth slightly, "The weather seems to be getting hotter, I asked Fujin, cleaned up the warehouse in the backyard, and took out this year's new silk and satin to add some summer clothes to the sisters. Tomorrow Let the tailors come into the house, and if the sisters have any good fabrics, they should also order the craftsmen."

"Thank you, Fujin," several people saluted in unison.

With a smiling face, Niu Hulu showed Shiyue a light yellow brocade of cuckoos wearing willows, "Sister, look at how unique the patterns are on this piece, and the color suits you, how about making it a plain gown, sister? "

Shiyue bent her mouth, reached out to touch the piece of brocade, "My sister has such a good eye, I like it too."

Nian picked up the tea bowl, scraped off the tea leaves and said, "There are a lot of new fabrics this year, sisters, don't worry, the silks and satins that Curry has been pressing for years will not be used. I thought about it and picked some clean colors. Yes, make some clothes for the servants. The house has been stuffy for a long time, and everyone has a sick look on their faces. It’s summer, and changing into some bright clothes can also give some energy.”

"Oh, my sister is really thoughtful." Li put down the tea bowl, covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "I have only been in the mansion for a few months, and I beat the slaves and set the rules. Now even the clothes of the slaves I'm starting to worry. If I don't know, I thought there was no Fujin in our mansion."

"Look at what my sister said," Nian frowned and took a sip of tea, "I have reported to Fujin for everything my sister has done. It's just that Fujin is not in good health and has no energy, so my sister does it for me. This mansion There are dozens of maids and women in the house, if there are no rules to restrain them, wouldn't it be a disaster? You and I are both side Fujin, Lord Belle is busy, and Fujin is sick, so if we don't share the trivial matters in the house at this time, Holding hundreds of taels of money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for nothing a year, I feel uneasy."

Nian put down his teacup, his voice calm.Mrs. Li glanced at her a few times, and hummed unwillingly, but couldn't think of how to refute for a while, so she stood up with a cold face, stroked Yun's temples, and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't delay my sister's win-win. Yes. Xi'er, let's go."

Xi'er helped Li Shi out of the house, Nian Shi looked at the shaking curtain and shook his head speechlessly.

Fujin Courtyard

Fujin knelt in front of the altar, chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.Shi Yao stepped into the house, hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter?" Fujin opened his eyes, supported the futon and stood up, Shi Yao hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Fu Jin, it's Li Ce Fujin who is here and insists on seeing you."

Fujin sighed, and was supported by Shiyao to sit on the wooden chair in the main hall, "It must have something to do with Nian Shi again. Ever since Nian Shi entered the mansion, Li Shi has never had a peaceful life."

"Master," Shi Yao said with a frown, "this Li Fujin used to be very smart, why is he at a disadvantage now? Last year, Fang Fujin punished the slaves of the Xibeiyuan, and she even went to Lord Belle I filed a complaint there, but Nian Shi pushed me back on the spot."

Fujin tugged at the corners of his mouth and shook his head, "Nian Shi is the daughter of Nian Xialing. Nian Xialing begged for a rest. The emperor always remembered his merits and allowed him to serve at the same rank. This official in Xinjiang did not do it for nothing. The Nian family Although she is not considered a family of powerful officials, she is also a relative of a high-ranking official. A daughter brought up by such a family has the style of everyone, and she is not bound by the sour Confucianism of civil servants and gentry."

Fujin took the hot tea from Shiyao, scraped off the tea powder and continued, "Speaking of which, Li's father was only a county magistrate at the beginning. Although he didn't abide by the internal rules like Song's, he was born in a small family. There is a small family spirit in his bones. His vision is not high, and he only focuses on his one-acre three-point land, so he is naturally not Nian's opponent."

"But," Shi Yao hesitated for a moment, then suppressed her voice, "That year, Fujin was really valued by Lord Baylor, and even the servants in the backyard said that Fujin was able to manage the inner courtyard well. Organized."

"They're right." Fujin put down the tea bowl, and heaved a long sigh of relief, "The account books brought by Mother Jiang are much clearer than a few months ago."

"That's not because of Fujin—" Shi Yao bit her lips, "If you cheer up, you don't need her to do it for you."

"Okay," Fujin pressed his temple, stood up and walked towards the inner room, "Let Mrs. Li go back, I don't want to see anyone."

West Hospital

It was almost noon when I came out from Nianshi's place.

Shiyue looked at the smiling Niu Hulu family and said, "Why don't you go to my place for lunch. My father asked someone to send a mountain treasure. Although it's not a good thing, let's try something new."

"Okay," Niu Hulu took Shiyue's arm, turned to Mu Lan and said, "Take the silk and satin back to the yard. I'll go to my sister's for lunch."

"Yes," Mulan led the little maid, and walked away holding the cloth first.

Before Shiyue and Niu Hulu entered the courtyard, they happened to see Li returning from the outside. They stopped to salute, but Li didn't even look at it, and went directly into her own courtyard.

Niu Hulu pursed her lips, said with a light smile beside Shiyue's ear, "It's just a good show, it's really lively."

"You," Shiyue glanced at Niu Hulu and shook her head helplessly.

The two entered the house, Xu'er put away the cloth, and sent someone to give instructions to the kitchen.

Niu Hulu followed Shiyue to sit on the couch, and it made sense, "Sister, I'm not wrong. Li Fangfujin used to be so majestic in the Xipei courtyard. He walked with his head up, probably just like my sister." It can catch her eyes. This year, after the side Fujin enters the mansion, it will be different, and the judge will be judged."

Shi Yue pursed her lips and did not answer.

Niu Hulu picked up a few designs and colors in the embroidery basket, looked at them, and said, "However, I think this is normal now. How can I say that the backyard is a bit lively, and Lord Baylor also Come over here. In the past, everyone really wanted to fight, but they couldn't fight."

Shiyue looked at Niu Hulu, her eyes dimmed, and Niu Hulu moved forward and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you? I always feel that you have become more and more depressed recently, are you sick?" ?”

"No," Shiyue pulled the corners of her mouth reluctantly, "It's just that I didn't sleep well at night, and I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

"You two, it's time for dinner," Xu'er opened the curtain and bowed.

"Okay," Shiyue patted Niu Hulu's hand, "Let's go eat."

There are four meat and four vegetables on the table, and there is a bowl of black-bone chicken and mushroom soup, two plates of nests, and a helmet of millet porridge, which is also rich.

"Come on, try this chicken soup. The dried mushrooms were sent by someone from my father." Shiyue filled a bowl for Niu Hulu.

Niu Hulu smiled and drank half a bowl with a small spoon, but his complexion gradually turned pale.

"Rong Yue, you—" Before Shiyue finished speaking, Niu Hulu suddenly put down the bowl and retched.

"Rong Yue," Shiyue hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks, supported Niu Hulu, and patted her on the back, "What's the matter, it was fine just now. Xu'er, go to the front yard and call Doctor Ding."

"Yes," Xu'er hurried out of the room.

Niu Hulu waved his hand, drank the water Mu Lan handed over, and rinsed his mouth, "Sister, I'm fine, but I suddenly feel sick."

"I've vomited like this, why do you still say it's okay?" Shiyue pushed the chicken soup away angrily, and helped Niu Hulu to stand up, "Let's sit in the room first, and wait for Doctor Ding to come and see." .”

In Nian's house, just as lunch was taken away, a little girl ran into the yard in a panic.

"What's the matter?" Nian raised his eyebrows, looking at Caixi who hurried into the door after listening to the little girl's words.

Cai Xi leaned over hastily, and said in a low voice, "My lord, Niu Hulu is very happy."

Nian frowned slightly, Ling Xi stepped forward and said, "My lord—"

"It's okay," Nian waved his hand, "Send someone to notify Fujin, and then go to the front yard to ask Eunuch Zhang to see where Lord Baylor has gone. If it is convenient, please report as soon as possible."

"Yes," Cai Xi leaned over to accept the order.

Nian supported Ling Xi's hand, and said with a sigh of relief, "Let's go and see Niu Hulu, this child is of great significance to Baylor Mansion."
