Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 46 years

On the seventh day of June, the Old Summer Palace

A large number of craftsmen began to renovate the garden according to the drawings set by the fourth elder brother.

Su Wei carried his account book and abacus and followed behind the fourth elder brother like a follower, writing down large and small accounts while pointing fingers at the craftsmen.

"What kind of Taihu stones do you want? Just pile up the sand and stones from the Western Mountains."

"You don't need to plant eighteen bachelors. What if you die later? I think the morning glory that blooms naturally over there is pretty good."

"The vegetable garden is a place to grow vegetables. What kind of white jade fence are you doing? Just tie it with wood. Do you understand the original flavor?"

"Oh, it's transplanted into bamboo and used for construction and materials. Plant some bamboo shoots to let it grow slowly. We don't have pandas here, so they grow up quickly."

"I think this yard is very good, there is no need to repaint it. What kind of peony garden should be expanded, just put two potted plants in the back to watch the excitement—"

"Su Peisheng!" Finally, he couldn't bear someone's stinginess and noise. Before the craftsmen collectively went on strike, the fourth elder brother dragged someone into the carriage, and secretly decided not to bring this person until the work was completed.

"Why are you so angry at me?" Su Wei said to the fourth elder brother, shaking the account book in his hand, "Do you know how much money you have spent in these few days? The things you embezzled before are all left in an instant. Building such a big You can’t eat or drink in a garden, it’s enough to have a tile to shelter from the wind and rain!”

"How can you be so reasonable!" The fourth elder brother snatched Su Wei's account book and stuffed it under the cushion, "The garden was given by Huang Ama, if you don't build it well, let the present saint come to visit your pile later. Is it a tile?"

"Tiles have the fun of tiles, don't the common people live under the tiles?" Su Dagong was determined not to compromise, "There is no real estate these days, and your garden has no room for appreciation, and in the end it is all cheap foreign countries people!"

"What a mess." The fourth elder brother raised his hand and knocked Su Wei again, allowing the man to twist his neck and puff up his cheeks to sulk at himself, "I brought you out to avoid all kinds of disputes in the capital. Nanshan Ji has something to do with the rebellious party and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and the old man is still suppressing the fact that Tuo Heqi and the others formed a clique in private. I always feel that once the incident happens this time, it will be difficult to get good..."

mid-June,

The Ministry of Criminal Justice once again asked the emperor to approve the case of Nanshanji, and the court gradually divided into two factions of heavy punishment and light punishment.

Lord Kangxi himself seems to be wavering between the unstoppable rumors among the people and the hearts of scholars all over the world.

In the end, amidst the controversy, Lord Kangxi decreed that Wang Hao, the servant, was not guilty enough, that he should be pardoned from death, and that his family should be enslaved under the flag.

June [-]th, Changchun Garden

After the fourth elder brother greeted Lord Kangxi, he went to see the prince in Wuyizhai.

"You don't come here much," the prince hung a freshly painted picture of green bamboo facing the sky by the window.

"Huang Ama gave me a garden, and I don't want to stay in one place all day long." The fourth elder brother sat on the wooden chair under the window and drank tea. "Second elder brother is still interested. This brush seems to have improved again."

"I don't like to hear these things," the prince went to the side of the copper basin to clean his hands, "There are people of ordinary caliber inside and outside the palace, if you want to talk to me about the lack of painting skills, the second brother will be happy to be taught .”

The fourth elder brother smiled slightly when he heard the words, "My painting is not as good as the second elder brother, so I won't go out of my way. Since the fourth younger brother is here today, he will not go around with the second elder brother. The case of the third prince Zhu and Nanshan Ji has the second elder brother Is it a handwriting? Looking at the government and the public, the method of the second brother is still effective, who still remembers the letter of Zhen Guogong? However, the old eight will not let it go."

"I can't hide anything from you. I'm just blocked by soldiers, and covered by water and earth." The prince handed the cloth towel to Xiao Chuzi, walked to sit down opposite the fourth elder brother, and said with a long sigh of relief, "Actually, I also want to know the truth of the old man. What exactly is there in Bashou, it would be better to let him reveal it sooner. Left, the last thing to look at is Huang Ama's thoughts..."

After coming out of Wuyizhai, it was almost noon, Zhang Bao stepped forward two steps and said, "Master, do you want to hurry back to the mansion, or stay here for the night? The servant just sent someone to look at it, and Cheng Luxuan is still available for you." .”

"It's still early today," the fourth elder brother walked along the lake with his hands behind his back, "Let's turn around and go to the Old Summer Palace to have a look. If there is not much delay, we will rush back to the capital."

"Yes," Zhang Bao leaned over, and raised his hand to let the little eunuch who was following him go ahead.

"Hurry up and run, don't embarrass me!" A child's voice suddenly sounded, "Whoever hits me with a slingshot today will not be allowed to eat at night!"

The fourth elder brother frowned slightly, walked around the willow forest by the lake, and saw a group of young eunuchs covering their heads and circling a child.

"It's brother eighteen," Zhang Bao stretched his neck and looked forward, "brother seventeen is also here."

"Yinjin," Elder Seventeen Yinli wrinkled his face, standing on the steps beside him, "Let's stop playing with this, it's easy to hurt people with those stones."

"Don't worry about it," Elder Eighteen let go of his hand and hit a young eunuch's elbow, cheering suddenly.

Seeing this, Yinli hesitated and walked down the steps, and moved step by step among the young eunuchs, "Yinjin, these little eunuchs still have their own errands, and they will be punished if they delay. It's such a big day, I How about going to paint with you?"

"Why are you so wordy?" Brother Eighteen gave Elder Seventeen a disappointed look, took out another stone from the small bag on the slant and aimed it around, "If you trouble me again, I will tell Sixteen later Brother, go and see how he cleans you up!"

Yin Li pursed his lips, stood there for a while, then stepped forward two steps, "Huang Ama asked me to take you out to play, I can't let you get into trouble. You are obedient, come back with me—"

"Ah!" Elder Eighteen missed the shot, his excited little face immediately wrinkled into a ball, seeing Elder Seventeen wanted to come forward to pull him again, he suddenly became angry, and took out a stone from his small bag, Turning around, he opened the slingshot at the seventeenth elder brother.

"Oh, my lord!" Seeing this scene, several young eunuchs rushed forward immediately.

"Who dares to stop me! It's against you!" The eighteenth brother kicked on the leading eunuch, taking advantage of no one daring to snatch the slingshot in his hand, he took advantage of the gap to aim at the seventeenth brother.

"Master, let's go!" The little eunuch who followed Brother Seventeen retreated to the side of the road to protect his master.

Seeing this, the eighteenth elder brother immediately became playful, grinning, broke away from a few little eunuchs, and rushed towards the seventeenth elder brother, "Little thief, don't go! Take an arrow from me—"

"Nonsense!" The fourth elder brother blocked the seventeenth elder brother and snatched the eighteenth elder brother's slingshot.

Only then did the servants present notice that it was Prince Yong who came, and they all knelt down to salute.

"A bunch of trash," the fourth elder brother glanced at the servants kneeling all over the floor, "So many people can't stand the two little masters, if something happens, how many heads do you have?"

"The slaves know their mistakes, please calm down..." The little eunuchs kowtowed to apologize after hearing this.

Seeing this, Yinli quickly walked out from behind the fourth elder brother, and saluted the fourth elder brother respectfully, "Thank you fourth elder brother, it was Yinli and Yinzhen who were playing around just now, don't blame the servants, please invite the fourth elder brother Brother forgive them once."

The Eighteenth Elder Brother who was standing aside with his head bowed let out a soft snort, murmuring something.

The fourth elder brother glanced over coldly, and said in a low voice, "Yinjin, don't you know how to say hello to your brother when you see him?"

The eighteenth elder brother paused, and reluctantly rolled his hands and casually bowed to the fourth elder brother, "Yinjin has met the fourth elder brother."

"You are really spoiled," the fourth elder brother narrowed his eyes slightly, "The seventeenth is your elder brother. If you hurt him today, it is not a few slaves who can stop you. Tell your master later, the two You don't need to learn it, first copy loyalty, filial piety, fraternity, propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame!"

"I—" When the eighteenth elder brother heard that he was going to copy the book, he suddenly raised his head. Unfortunately, before he could refute, the fourth elder brother had already led the seventeenth elder brother away.

"Master," the little eunuch who was close to him bite the bullet and moved behind Brother Eighteen, "Prince Yong is always strict, let's go back to the original bookstore as soon as possible."

Yinzhen turned her head and glared at the little eunuch, then looked at the back of the fourth elder brother for a long time, and finally went to find the master angrily.

On the other side, Elder Seventeen lowered his head slightly, curled his hands in his sleeves, and followed Fourth Elder cautiously. Seeing that he was about to reach his residence, he said under his breath, "Thank you Fourth Elder for sending me away. Come back, if it weren't for the fourth brother today, the younger brother and Yinying still don't know how it would end."

The fourth elder brother stopped, turned around and looked at the seventeenth elder brother, "You have also moved into the elder brother's place, why are you still so soft-tempered? Yinzhen is your younger brother, if you want to discipline him, you have to act like a brother Come."

Yinli pursed his lips, raised his head and smiled at the fourth elder brother, "Yinzhen is usually watched by the fifteenth and sixteenth brothers, and I don't come too close. Today is just a coincidence, Huang Ama asked me to come out to play with Yinzhen Yinli himself doesn't know how to look at his younger brother, so he can only let him mess around."

The fourth elder brother shook his head when he heard the words, reached out and patted the seventeenth elder brother on the shoulder, "Fourth elder brother sees that you are very kind to the slaves, as long as you don't let the people below bully you. Huang Ama these days Nian dotes on Yinjin very much, but his temper is somewhat stubborn, you don't know how to get along with him, so just stay away from him in the future. Fourth brother will send you here today, go back and have a good rest."

"Yes, thank you fourth brother," Yinli said goodbye and left.

The fourth elder brother stood there, silent for a moment, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "The days go by so quickly, and the children below are so old in a blink of an eye. I still remember the first time I taught people the festival of loyalty, filial piety and filial piety. When Yinzuo was still alive."

Zhang Bao was taken aback when he heard the words, and lowered his head in a daze.

"By the way, I forgot about it," the fourth elder brother turned his head and glanced at Zhang Bao, "You came out of Yinzuo courtyard."

"Yes," Zhang Bao lowered his head, "It was thanks to Brother Six that he left the slave behind, otherwise he would not have seen Master and Eunuch Su."

The fourth elder brother slightly bent the corners of his lips, and looked towards the lake with his hands behind his back, "Yin Zuo is also a naughty person..."

At the end of June, Lord Kangxi set out to tour the north.

The prince accompanied the [-]th, [-]th, [-]th, [-]th and [-]th princes.

The three princes and the four princes led the ministers staying in Beijing and escorted Luan to the suburbs of Beijing.

Su Wei mumbled along beside the fourth elder brother's horse, and complained to his prince in a very dissatisfied voice, "I said I wouldn't come, but you insisted on letting me come! There is no carriage to sit in, and I have a stomach full of ashes." !"

The fourth elder brother squinted his eyes and glanced at him, "My master raises you in the palace every day, and you are almost turning into a pig. It is good for your health to come out to exercise with your master once in a while."

"Who is raised in the palace every day?" Su Wei helped his big cap to block the slanting sunlight. Now his skin is white and tender, and he can't resist the sun. "I still have business today."

The fourth elder brother snorted softly, straightened his body with the whip in one hand, "Isn't that the girl who gave you the lanyard? Master asked Xiaoyingzi to meet you."

"What about you—" Su Wei stiffened his neck for a moment, and was about to speak up to argue, when there was a sound of horseshoes in front of him.

"What's going on?" Brother Si frowned.

"It's Elder Brother Eighteen," Fu Nai replied after receiving the previous news, "I really think Elder Fifteen brought him out to ride a horse."

"You can really mess around," the fourth elder brother reined in the horse, "let the guards form another team to follow up, this is not official yet, don't make any trouble—"

The fourth elder brother hadn't finished speaking when the team in front suddenly became chaotic, several tripping ropes were pulled up in the air, and the guards who didn't react fell off their horses one after another, and the five-color golden dragon flag fell in a twisted and crooked manner.

"Escort, escort!" The imperial guards surrounded Luanjia almost immediately.

Immediately, the guards rectified on the spot, moving forward and backward, wrapping up the royal relatives and officials of all sizes in the middle.

However, in the chaos, there were not many shouts of killing. The fourth elder brother gradually felt that something was wrong, and then suddenly remembered something, and climbed on the side of the car shaft to look from afar.

Black clothes and black trousers, brown steeds, a team of 30 assassins are quietly running out of the fruit forest beside the road, chasing after the two elder brothers who ran away from the Luanjia army.

"Master!" Su Wei climbed onto Pine Needle's back and squeezed all the way to the fourth elder brother's side.

"It's not good," the fourth elder brother also jumped off the chariot and flew on the horse, "This group of people rushed to Yinying and the others, and they brought too few people. Fu Nai, order the guards in the mansion, and go with the king!"

"Yes," Fu Nai's palace guards were all elite soldiers, and when they heard the voice of the fourth elder brother, they all came on horseback.

A group of people broke out of the encirclement of the guards, followed the roadside, and quickly chased forward.
