Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 46 years

February [-]th, evening

On the carriage back home, Eighth Prince and Nalan Kuixu sat together.

Seeing the carriages from various prefectures on the long street one after another, Nalan Kuixu put down the window and said, "It will take two months for the emperor to go. Why didn't Lord Baylor hit the iron while the iron was hot before, and Tuo Heqi and others had worked with Suo Heqi?" The evidence of Etu's private faction was submitted. Now, after two months of delay, I am afraid that something will happen to the prince."

"Brother, don't worry," the eighth elder brother frowned and smiled, "I'm not afraid of any accidents happening to the prince, what I'm afraid of is that he will not move at all. Suoxiang has been down for such a long time, if the matter of Huang Ama to Tuo Heqi and others is all I don't know, but I don't believe it. The reason why I turn a blind eye like this is because I don't want to touch the prince. Right now, I'm forcing my second brother to do it, just to see if Huang Ama is still there. How long can you tolerate it?"

"But," Nalan Kuixu pondered for a moment, "I heard that Duke Zhen's zhezi was suppressed when he arrived in Dali Temple. There is no other action for the time being."

"Dali Temple?" The eighth elder brother laughed coldly when he heard the words, "this is just right, I was worried about how to kill two birds with one stone, so he wades into this muddy water by himself. Since someone thinks that he has some respect from Huang Ama , you can cover the sky with one hand. Let's just see how he ends up in the future..."

The next day, Prince Yong's Mansion

Shi Yao welcomed Fujin's second sister-in-law, Fu Cha, into the door, and both parties took their seats after a ceremony.

The third elder brother, Hongyun, was carried outside to show to Fucha. Fucha smiled happily, and while teasing Hongyun, he said to Fujin, "Our elder brother was born with a sense of nobility, and now the heaven is full. With his smart appearance, he must be a man of many talents in the future."

"Sister-in-law is used to making jokes," Fujin said with a slight smile, leaning on the couch, "he is still so young, how can he know what will happen in the future. As long as he is half as promising as Honghui, I will be content."

"Look at what you said." Mrs. Fucha asked the nurse to take the baby down, "I know that after Honghui left, you always couldn't help but feel nervous. But now that you have Hongyun, why bother?" Do you still see the world suffering yourself?"

Fujin sighed slowly, propped himself up and sat up, "My sister-in-law only knows one thing and doesn't know the other. In the past, there was only Honghui in the mansion, and our family's gate could barely support it. I still have some confidence in my heart." But now, the prince has three sons, and there is such a big incident in our family, how can I not panic? How can I still be happy?"

"Oh," Mrs. Fu Cha pursed her lips. Thinking of the dead Mrs. Wu Ya, she couldn't help sighing, "I felt really uncomfortable for a while when you sent someone back last time. Keep an eye on it, and it won't cause such trouble..."

"I can't blame you for this matter," Fujin rubbed the center of his brows, "I have been away from home for 15 years, and I have been obsessed with the royal rules, and my natal family has rarely moved around. It's no wonder that Ulanara's family has become an empty shelf They actually gave birth to some demons and monsters."

Mrs. Fucha pursed her lips, pulled Fujin's hand and said, "I know what you're thinking. Fortunately, Jiahui is still in the palace and can always help out. Don't worry too much about Hongyun's future. He is the prince's son, as long as there is no major fault, who in this mansion can get past him? Let me tell you, you might as well put your mind on the prince instead of competing with a few eunuchs. "

"My lord..." Fujin lowered his head, his face darkened.

Mrs. Fucha breathed a sigh of relief, patted Fujin's hand and said, "Our women's life is never perfect. You married into the family of Tianjia, so you don't have to worry about daily necessities, but don't worry about men? I see you The few in the backyard, although they are a little cautious, are still quite peaceful. You haven't seen how much your second brother's concubines are capable of tossing around, isn't your sister-in-law still getting through it day by day?"

"The prince is different from the second elder brother and the others." Fujin shook his head slowly, lowering his eyelids and said, "I have been married to him for 15 years, but we are more and more like strangers. His preferences and thoughts I'm afraid I'm not as clear as those eunuchs."

"Oh, my aunt, your exquisite heart is covered by the face of the princess," Fu Cha patted Fujin's hand with a wry smile, "None of us know men from birth. You are the king's mansion." The upright mistress wants to know what the prince likes to eat and wear, so she asks someone to ask. No matter how hard those eunuchs are, how dare they put on airs in front of you?"

Fujin kept Mrs. Fucha for lunch, and after noon, Mrs. Fucha took his leave.

When Shiyue and Niu Hulu came back from visiting the garden, they happened to see Shiyao sending Fucha out, and after taking a look from a distance, Shiyue frowned secretly.

"It seems that Fujin's body should be better," Niu Hulu said, turning the handkerchief, "Since the incident happened in the darkroom that day, Fujin hasn't seen anyone for several days."

"Perhaps it's because she's been ill for a long time, and she misses her mother's family." Shiyue lowered her head, her eyebrows turning darkly.

Mrs. Niu Hulu took Shiyue's arm and walked forward, "I see that this Fucha family is much stronger than that Wuya's family, and Fujin's natal family also suffered a lot. I heard that Wuya's family came from us. Shortly after returning to the mansion, he fell ill and died."

"This matter has nothing to do with us, so don't talk too much outside." Shiyue patted Niu Hulu's hand, "Now the life in the mansion is stable and quiet, and it is also thanks to Fujin."

Niu Hulu smiled, covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said, "I only talk to my sister about myself, and my sister should not take it personally. According to my sister, Fujin is getting sick again and again. Sickness, it is because our palace is too stable..."

In the evening, a carriage stopped outside the alley on the back street of Longfu Temple. As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lifted, two people jumped out and were jostling.

Xiao Yingzi grabbed Su Wei's sleeve with one hand and the car door with the other, ignoring the attention of passers-by, and shouted hoarsely, "Master, you are too careless! I told you yesterday not to go to the noodle shop, today you will I came to the small courtyard. When the prince asked later, even if you gave me all the things you put in the bottom of the box, I would not help you hide it!"

"Who used you to hide it? I'm not afraid of him," Su Wei bowed his horse and flicked his sleeves, "I've already redeemed him, so there must be an explanation. If you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadow. If you want to inform me, just tell me." go!"

"Master, you are repaying kindness and revenge! You are not afraid of the master, but I am." Xiaoyingzi let go of his hand, and was dragged by Su Wei to the small courtyard, "If I had known you were coming here today, I would not have followed. You didn't say a word in the morning, you just lied to me on purpose."

"Don't be silly, I, Su Wei, have been rampant in and out of the palace for so many years, how did I teach you such a wimpy apprentice?" At the gate of the small courtyard, Su Wei shook off Xiaoyingzi's hand and talked away Arrange clothes.

Xiaoyingzi looked at his pretending Second Master and secretly rolled his eyes. He didn't know who was lying on the bed all day a few days ago, taking a pillow to vent his anger.

The small courtyard was cleaned very clean, and the dry pergola had new leaves. There were zithers and rocking chairs under the shed, and there were two pots of dwarf pine at the door.

Mu Ci resolutely refused to live in the main room, and lived in the west wing with the two servants sent by Su Wei.Su Wei asked him if he knew how to make money, and he really went to Jisheng Hall the next day. Although it was not easy to keep accounts, Mu Ci learned quickly, and the accountant was very happy to have such a helper.

Muci, who took off his white clothes and bamboo hat, and changed into a gray gown, became much clearer.When he saw Su Wei, he didn't go out either, and gave him a few pastries bought outside.

"The shopkeeper said that I did a good job, and now I have eight renminbi a month," Mu Ci sat with Su Wei under the awning, "When I can be alone, I can receive one or two renminbi a month, and I will pay you back during the holidays." There is a red envelope to take. Although I don’t know when I can repay your 300 taels, I can finally live with my own hands.”

"It's good if you can think like this. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the hard work." Su Wei bent his lips, "Since you are from a scholarly family, I will need you in the future. Then 300 Don't worry about two silver coins."

Mu Ci smiled and lowered his head, and touched the strings with both hands, "Now, this zither is no longer used to please others, and it is Zimo's greatest blessing to be able to talk to his close friends and benefactors."

The two of them talked happily in the yard, but poor Xiaoyingzi poked her head around the door and almost pulled her braid bald.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Su Wei finished explaining to Mu Ci, and then got into the carriage with Xiao Yingzi.

The carriage drove out of the intersection of Longfu Temple, Eunuch Su completely ignored his apprentice's dark gaze, and leaned on the cushion humming an out-of-tune tune.Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the defenseless Su Wei staggered, almost hitting the window.

"What's going on?" Xiaoyingzi opened the curtain of the car, and several guards surrounded him.

"Please forgive Su Caidong, the younger one was reckless at the moment," a man in a dark green robe stood beside the horse's head, "The younger one has been waiting here for Su Caidong's driver, watching Su Caidong's chariot and horse approaching, I was excited for a while I just stopped in the middle of the road, but I didn't want to almost cause a big mistake. I also asked Su Caidong to get out of the car to check, if there is any damage, the young one is willing to use his wealth and life to make up for it."

Su Wei froze in place, he still didn't say a word, but this man was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube endlessly, listening to the tone of his voice, he didn't know what kind of ominous person was sitting in the car.

"I don't know which shopkeeper you are?" Su Wei opened the window of the car, and it could be seen from this person's clothes that this person was indeed wealthy.

"Oh, don't blame Su Caidong," the man hurriedly walked under the car window and bowed to Su Wei to the end. The manner of a literati is somewhat similar to that of Wu Xuesong, but he is more humble and polite. "The young one is from Huizhou. His surname is Yu, and his single name is Jia. His ancestors ran a Longsheng firm. After coming to Beijing, he has heard about Su Caidong’s name for a long time, and today he came here to pay a visit.”

"Huizhou, Longsheng Company..." Su Wei felt a little familiar, blinked his eyes and said, "It's so late, your Excellency is still waiting here, I'm afraid it's not just an ordinary friendship?"

"Yes," Yu Jia cupped his hands at Su Wei again, "I don't dare to act in front of Su Caidong. To be honest, the Longsheng firm run by the villain's family has always been the enemy of Wu Ji. Only because of the blessing of the ancestors, the little one The family got a Lianghuai Yinwo, and they have been doing salt business all year round, so they can surpass Wu Ji by a head. Now, the villain heard that Su Caidong is interested in the salt industry, so he came here to express his sincerity. As long as Su Caidong is willing to give in, the villain I would like to offer Yinwo, and the entire Longsheng Company is willing to be driven by Su Caidong."

Su Wei froze on the spot again, before he could blink his round eyes twice, he saw Yu Jia waving at the side of the road.

A young man in a royal blue brocade robe came out with a large wooden box, walked to the car window and bowed slightly to Su Wei.

Yu Jia patted with a flattering smile, "This is a meeting gift for Su Caidong, as long as Su Caidong is willing to accept, the villain will prepare a big gift."

People say it's a meeting gift, so I have to accept it.Su Wei sang Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and stretched out his hand to pick up the wooden box without changing his face, but he didn't want to be scratched gently by a finger just as his hand was under the wooden box.
