April [-], Respect Room

After Su Wei finished picking people, he followed Liu Baoqing out of the room without any delay.Xiaoyingzi was standing in front of the eaves, staring unblinkingly at the bottom of the wall not far away, her pair of pale eyebrows almost bulging like Mount Everest.

"What are you looking at?" Su Wei followed Xiaoyingzi's gaze and saw a chubby man squatting in the shadows at the base of the wall, holding a wooden bucket full of water on his head, his legs and feet Shaking like a sieve, the water in the bucket was sprinkled left and right, cooling the little eunuch's heart.

Su Wei frowned, knowing that because of what happened just now, the child still survived the punishment.

"That child's name is Wu Shulai," Liu Baoqing walked to Su Wei's side, "this year is only six years old, and he is the youngest among the new internal prisoners. Because of the famine at home, he was sold into the palace by Ren Yazi." , he can’t walk when he sees food, he’s usually stupid, and his master doesn’t care. It’s not like he was punished twice or three times like today.”

"Master, that child is so pitiful," Xiaoyingzi turned to Su Wei with a flat mouth, "Let's take him back, he offended Mr. Zhao, and he will definitely have a bad life in the future. He is only six years old."

Su Wei pursed his lips, looked back at Liu Baoqing, Liu Baoqing twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "This kid has nothing to do with cleverness, and every government will definitely not choose him. I was thinking about it, but in the future Help him allocate a remote place, so as not to accidentally bump into a master and lose his head."

"Master," Xiaoyingzi tugged at Su Wei's cuff, "Let's take him back, I'll take care of him, and never let him cause trouble, okay?"

Su Wei gave Xiaoyingzi a white look, and then looked at Xiaopangdun who was not far away, not to mention, he had some affinity with this child, "Okay, take it back, find him a good teacher to teach him." gone."

Liu Baoqing grinned and shook her head, I could tell you were soft-hearted just by looking at it.Xiaoyingzi cheered and trotted towards the little chubby pier.

Liu Baoqing brought over six young eunuchs chosen by Su Wei. Su Wei met them one by one and asked a few words, but they were all sensible.

"That's it," Su Wei tapped his neck, and glanced at the little fat man who was following Xiaoyingzi, "All seven of you can go back home with me today, and you don't need to pack your luggage. There's nothing missing—"

"Ouch," while speaking, deputy manager Zhao came out from the back room and interrupted Su Wei's words.

"Eunuch Zhao," Su Wei glanced at Mr. Zhao, "just to tell you, I'll take these children back today, and you can help me choose the others, and they'll be sent over at the end of the month. "

"Don't worry, Eunuch Su," Eunuch Zhao arched his hands, and then looked at the young eunuchs under the steps, "However, Eunuch Su can't take these children away right away, after all, our family has to go through the list. .Besides, these little eunuchs have not been familiar with the rules since they entered the palace, so if something goes wrong, the servant can't afford it."

"Director Zhao is too worried," Liu Baoqing stepped forward and said, "These children are going to be sent to various palaces. It doesn't make much difference one day at a time. Now that Mr. Su is recovering, let him take a batch back first." , I wish I could get acquainted as soon as possible—”

"Eunuch Liu," Deputy Manager Zhao straightened up, "Our family is responsible for the task of identifying and replacing eunuchs in the palace, and it is also the trust of the masters for many years. Even if there is a slight difference, it is the negligence of our slaves. Eunuch Liu On weekdays, you travel between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Office of Respect, so if you have nothing to do, dare to delay a day for nothing, and make it a day earlier?"

"Mr. Zhao is serious." Su Wei curled his lips, "It's because our family didn't think carefully. Since Mr. Zhao is in a difficult situation, let's leave this matter today. These seven children still need to be taught by Mr. Zhao."

"Don't worry, Eunuch Su," Deputy Chief Zhao smiled obsequiously, "At the end of the month, I will definitely send the other eunuchs to the prince. Hey, that's right," Xiao Shuzi was dragged to Su Wei , "This child, if Eunuch Su likes it, he can take it back today, at least he can help him with some rough work."

Su Wei and Xiaopang Dun looked face to face for a long time, and finally stroked his forehead and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, Wu Shulai, follow our house!"

Siyefu

The fourth elder brother is crowned king, so Prince Yong's mansion will naturally have to be re-expanded.According to the "Great Qing Huidian", the prince's mansion is divided into five main entrances and seven main halls.There are nine wing buildings on both sides, seven temples, and seven back buildings. All the beams of the main entrance hall are covered with green glazed tiles.There are seven kinds of kissing beasts on the ridge of the main hall.There are 63 door nails in nine verticals and seven horizontals, and the verandahs of the rest of the buildings are all made of tube tiles.

In addition to the renovation within the regulations, the fourth elder brother also drew another sketch, planning to expand the entire Xibei courtyard and build it into the west road of the palace. The original four small courtyards will become ten. No need to live on the East Road anymore, and the little masters can have their own yards.

Another big move is the East Garden. The fourth elder brother plans to double the size of the entire garden, and the East Courtyard will also be enlarged, and a three-story attic will be built behind it, named Famous Star Terrace.

Because the house will be under construction, it is not suitable for the masters to live in. The fourth elder brother is planning to take his family members to live in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing these days.Su Wei originally wanted to stay outside for a while, but was coerced and lured by the fourth elder brother to take him home directly from the elder brother's mansion.His small courtyard behind Longfu Temple was temporarily handed over to Wang Xiangqing.

To say that the fourth elder brother was promoted to the prince by Baylor, Su Wei didn't have any real feelings at first, until the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent Prince Yong's salary for the first year, 1 taels of silver, and [-] dendrobium. He found that his master had jumped up and become a big family in the capital again.

However, with the enfeoffment of Jin came not only a double salary, a glorious family, but also a lot of troubles and disputes.

First of all, it is the entrustment of the prince, and the subordinates and households under his banner will naturally have to be doubled. What Grand Duke Su can be sure of is that at this time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites will not dare to neglect Prince Yong's residence at this time. The selected Liangzhuang and Yinzhuang will definitely All the best.And what makes the fourth elder brother and Su Wei worry is the thirteenth master who has not been assigned any title. How can a bald elder brother go out of the palace to build a mansion in the capital?

However, the distribution of the titles of Wang Jue still needs to be discussed, and the rewards will not be issued for a while.But at this moment, the most troublesome thing is the promotion and arrangement of the subordinate officials of Prince Yong's mansion.

When the fourth elder brother was named Baylor, the officials in the mansion were only one chief of ceremonies, two officers, four second-class guards of the fourth rank, and six third-class guards of the fifth rank. The ones that were sent were not trusted by the fourth elder brother at all, and they rarely showed up in the end.

Now, the fourth elder brother is promoted to be the prince, and the regulations of the prince's mansion are very strict compared to Baylor's mansion, so it is natural that no one will tolerate stealing and cheating.The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to make any further claims, and directly handed over the brochure, letting the prince choose someone himself.

Su Wei's eyes turned red as he held the official position list of the royal family. No wonder so many people wanted to curry favor with the royal relatives. With this title, it was really a chicken and a dog.

Among the officials of the Prince's Mansion, the highest position is a long history, a civil official of the third rank.There are six first-class guards, military officers of the third rank.Su Wei remembered that Shi Shilun, Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, was only a third rank, but this Shi Qingtian could be a housekeeper even if he entered their palace.Next, Dianyi, Dianshan, Secretary Jiang, and Treasurer are all high-ranking Beijing officials, and Eunuch Su suddenly felt that his sixth-rank eunuch was not enough.

These subordinate officials will be in charge of various affairs of the palace in the future, so of course they cannot all be done by strangers. At this time, the cronies of the fourth elder brother and the natal families of the masters in the backyard are all eager to try.

When Su Wei and his party returned to the palace, the craftsmen had transported the rubble into the front yard. Stacks of green glazed tiles were shining brightly in the sun. Xiao Shuzi's eyes widened and he turned his head to look all the way.

Li Han was leading people to clean up the stones, when he saw Su Wei he quickly bowed and said, "Eunuch Su, you are back."

"Well, thanks for your hard work, Mr. Li." Su Wei bent his lips, waved his hands to let everyone continue, and led Li Ying and Xiao Shuzi to the East Courtyard.

"Master," Li Ying took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Say, can Manager Li become a subordinate official? After Wuge and Ma Lian's accidents, he and Wang Qin were the ones who took care of the chores, and they did pretty well." Reliable, not to mention that he is Li Fangfujin's natal family."

Su Wei glanced back at Li Ying, and said in a low voice, "Do you think this official is so easy to seal? Even if the House of Internal Affairs is polite, you have to pass the emperor's test. The rank of the official in this palace is so high, and it is also the emperor's job." The control over the clan, even if the Long Live God doesn't say anything, the master has to weigh it carefully."

When they arrived at the East Courtyard, Li Ying went down with the little book, and Su Wei entered the study room with a bang.

"Everyone has been arranged?" Si elder brother sat behind the desk and asked without raising his head.

Su Wei sat down on the couch, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, "The man is so fat, I don't know how thick it is, Lou Baoqing catches the Buddha's swollen tube—"

"Swallow the thing down before talking!" The fourth elder brother raised his head, with only a slit left in his eyes.

Su Wei licked the dregs from the corner of his mouth, took a sip of tea and choked down the mung bean cake that was full of mouth, "It's too dry, it's not good..."

The fourth elder brother sat on the couch and put aside the hat that Su Wei threw aside at will, "Your brother is also quite capable, and it will be of great benefit to us to communicate between the respect room and the House of Internal Affairs from now on."

Su Wei stretched his neck and hiccupped, "Do we need to put people in the inner prison? Liu Baoqing said that every government office is short of people now."

"No need," the fourth elder brother lowered his head and grabbed Su Wei's hand and pressed it lightly, "Fu Nai has already arranged the nails, and the relationship behind the inner prison is too easy to expose, we just need to be on guard against others. "

"Oh," Su Wei nodded, "It shouldn't be a problem for Fu Nai to be a first-class bodyguard, right? He also has errands in the clan mansion. Do you have a list of candidates for Chang Shi? Isn't Zhang Tingyu quite valued by the Holy Majesty?"

"It's too useless to detain Zhang Tingyu in the palace." The fourth elder brother bent his lips, "This official in the palace sounds high and powerful, but in fact it has no name. Ma was deposed as soon as he ascended the throne. Zhang Tingyu is talented as a prime minister, and he can only show his talents in the six cabinets."

"Then Chang Lai, Bordo, and Shen Ting are all left..." Su Wei counted on his fingers, "Should we let Namutu come back? Or Jiahui, Enchuo?"

"The Lord also intends to let Namutu come back." The fourth elder brother straightened his body, "Namutu has made a lot of political achievements in the past few years, and he is the grandson of Tong Jia and the nephew of Orondai. He has some influence. His father, Kua Dai, has always kept Oron Dai at a respectful distance, and he is quite loyal to me, so he is a good candidate. However, Fujin... may have some criticism..."

"Master," when Zhang Bao came in from the outside, Grand Duke Su was lying on the couch in a big font in a disfigured manner.

The fourth elder brother was leaning on the cushion, with a roll of roster in his hand, and one leg was half resting on the edge of the couch, somewhat pitifully, "What's the matter?"

"Return to the master, the concierge will report, and Hu Qiheng, the general judge of Kuizhou in Sichuan, will send you a greeting card."

"Hu Qiheng?" Su Wei blinked, "Master, Hu Qiheng belongs to Nian Gengyao."
