Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 46 years

Early August, Yuanmingyuan

In the inner room of Wutong Courtyard, the fourth elder brother twisted a cloth towel and wiped his face, and couldn't stop laughing at someone sitting beside the bed who was sulking.

"Okay," the fourth elder brother sat next to Su Wei, and stuffed the comb into his hand, "I suddenly came to live in the garden alone, and the manager doesn't know what's going on. It's human nature to prepare like this." The fourth elder brother turned around , Waiting for Su Wei to braid his hair, "That's even more capable, and the master of Yuanmingyuan is also very satisfied. He has done this kind of thing once, and he will know it next time, so don't make it too difficult for him—"

After waiting for a long time for no one to start, the fourth elder brother turned around, and Grandpa Su was just holding a comb through his hairy braid, "My lord—"

Here, the fourth elder brother was about to teach a lesson to a certain father-in-law who didn't take himself seriously, and Fu Nai rushed outside the door.

"What's the matter? Come in and talk about it," the fourth elder brother sat upright, and Su Wei kicked on a pair of boots casually and stood beside the bed, and the fourth elder brother gave him a dispensable glance.

"My lord," Fu Nai knelt into the room, "The emperor issued an imperial decree. This year coincides with the Empress Dowager's 66th birthday. Specially increase Enke, which will benefit the world. The master needs to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and set up the state capitals with the cabinet ministers as soon as possible." The chief and deputy examiners are."

"Why so suddenly?" Su Wei's eyes widened. "It's already August now. When the decree is handed down, won't it be autumn soon?"

"It's not that simple," the fourth elder brother stood up. "We have to go back to Beijing overnight. The cabinet has been very busy these two days. It's just that it's so hasty, so don't make any mistakes..."

When Su Wei heard this, he didn't delay anymore, he waited on the fourth elder brother to change his clothes, cleaned up briefly and got into the carriage.

"Why did Long Live suddenly remember to drive the Enke?" In the car, Su Wei leaned against the wall and shook his body, "I remember that the Empress Dowager never drove the Enke when she was alive, so she suddenly issued an order to take the test. Most of the students are probably not prepared."

"The ten-year cold window is not bad for these few months. What's more, it is good for the students to be able to take the exam one more time in three years," the fourth elder brother pursed his lips, and sighed after a long while. , "Huang Ama is such a blessing and scholar, winning people's hearts is not as simple as celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday. I am afraid that this Nanshan Ji case will not be good..."

Su Wei blinked his eyes, and in this extremely hot August midnight, an inexplicable coolness gushed out from behind him.

After the fourth elder brother returned to Beijing overnight, he changed his court clothes and went to the cabinet without resting for a moment.

Eunuch Su couldn't be lazy this time, he went out to do business, but he was forced by his apprentice who was eating inside and outside, so he had to follow the fourth elder brother into the Forbidden City.

For two days in a row, the fourth elder brother and all the courtiers lived and boarded in the cabinet, and the chief and deputy examiners were generally divided by the governor and the local Confucianism, so it was not too much trouble to draw up.

Qiuwei is once every three years, and the regulations are familiar to all state capitals, and Enke is just an additional test. After receiving the order, it will be done as in previous years.

After two days of busy work like this, the cabinet drew up the approval document and sent it to various places quickly.In this way, within half a month, students can prepare for the exam.

The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is all over the building, and the gloomy clouds cover the sky over the capital.

Su Wei sat on the roof of the East Courtyard, shivering from the cool wind with water vapor.

"I won't go back to the palace, I'll let the fourth brother tell my fifteenth brother!"

A child's voice playing with a temper came from the front yard, and Su Wei hurriedly got off the roof and walked forward.

Zhang Qilin was following the eighteenth elder brother with a smile, "The prince is not in the mansion today, the fifteen elder brothers are here, why don't you go back first, and when the prince returns, the slave will report on his behalf."

"I won't leave until the fourth brother comes back," Yinzhen avoided Zhang Qilin's hand, frowning and ran into the courtyard, "I'll wait for the fourth brother to come back, and the fourth brother didn't say to send me back to the palace, so I won't go with the fifteenth brother." brother go!"

"Brother Eighteen," Su Wei stepped forward and slapped Elder Eighteen, "Your Highness is not in the mansion, what are you—"

"Eunuch Su," Yin Jin grabbed Su Wei's sleeve with one hand, "Sige Brother is not here, you are so courageous, go and help me reject Brother [-], and say that I won't go back yet, I will wait for Brother [-] to come back!"

Who tm preaches that I am bold?

Su Wei was pulled by one sleeve by the eighteenth elder brother, so he could only stare at Zhang Qilin dryly.

Zhang Qilin grinned silently, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Grandpa Su, the fifteen elder brothers are waiting outside. He said that Mr. Wang is thinking about the eighteenth elder brother. Seeing that the Long Live Lord is coming back soon, I want to take the Eighteenth Brother back to the palace. The Eighteenth Brother ran here as soon as he heard it, and the servant has not had time to report to the princess."

"Don't tell my sister-in-law," Yin Yin jumped up and down, "tell my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law will definitely let me go back to the palace. Even if I go back, let my fourth brother take me back. I won't go with my fifteenth brother." Walk!"

"Ouch, my little master," Su Wei heard the meaning of the eighteenth elder brother, and he was still vomiting, and quickly smiled and bent down, "It doesn't take half an hour to travel from our palace to the palace." Now, what's the difference with whom? Elder Brother Fifteen has come here to pick you up specially, you don't think that he is your biological elder brother, you have to think that Mr. Wang has been thinking about you all the time—"

"I don't care, I don't care! I just won't go with him!" Yin Jin covered her ears, yelled at Su Wei, turned and ran around the two of them to the small pavilion on the lotus pond.

"Hey! Brother Eighteen, be careful!"

I don't know if Zhang Qilin was too crow-mouthed, the eighteen elder brothers who ran well suddenly slipped, and his whole body fell off the stone railing of the small bridge and fell into the lotus pond.

When the fourth elder brother got the letter and hurried back to the palace, the eighteenth elder brother had recovered from the shock, and was wearing a quilt and yelling at the fifteenth elder brother who was about to ask the teacher, "Don't blame this and that! I accidentally fell into it myself, you should go back to the palace quickly! I will let the fourth brother take me back!"

"Yinying!" The fourth elder brother walked into the eighteenth elder brother's bedroom with a cold face, "Isn't Master's teaching for these two months in vain? Why are you talking to your fifteenth elder brother?"

The eighteenth elder brother pursed his mouth for a while, apologized mutteringly, and sat back on the bed properly.

Seeing this, Ding Qi hurriedly went up to greet him, and saluted Si elder brother.

"How is Yinying's health? Did you catch a cold?" The fourth elder brother glanced at the fifteenth elder brother, but ignored him.

"Don't worry, my lord," Ding Qi cupped her hands, "Brother Eighteen was just a little frightened, it's just a matter of recuperating for a few days."

The fourth elder brother nodded, and squinted his eyes to look at the eighteenth elder brother. The eighteenth elder brother shrank his neck and stuffed his head into the quilt.

"Fourth brother," Seeing this, the fifteenth elder brother pursed his lips and took a step forward. He was about to speak, but the fourth elder brother raised his hand to stop him.

"I usually work in the cabinet." The fourth elder brother glanced over the fifteenth elder brother's face with gloomy eyes, "If you want to take Yinjin back, you should come and say hello to me first. Why don't you even post a post?" One came directly to the door?"

"I—" Brother Fifteen was at a loss for words for a moment, he really didn't think carefully, and he also had selfish intentions.

He was ashamed of Yinjin, and he was afraid that his younger brother would gossip around, so he could hardly sleep at night for more than a month.However, Yinjin has been living in Prince Yong's mansion, so he couldn't find a chance to ease the relationship between the two.After finally surviving until the end of August, he borrowed a gossip from Er Niang, and rushed to fetch Yinjin back to the palace, but he didn't expect it to be so unsatisfactory.

The fourth elder brother didn't want to entangle him any more, so he stared at Yinzhen and drank the medicine, then turned around and went to the East Courtyard, "When Yinzhen recovers, the king will send him back to the palace. If the fifteenth brother today If there is nothing else, the fourth brother will not keep you."

East courtyard

Su Wei was lying on the bed with the quilt open. He had been given ginger soup and medicine in the summer, and now he was feeling hot.Hearing the footsteps of the fourth elder brother, he quickly pulled off the quilt, wrapped himself up tightly, closed his eyes tightly, and pretended to be asleep.

The fourth elder brother walked into the bedroom, Xiaoyingzi tiptoedly saluted, and said to the fourth elder brother in a low voice, "Dr. What's the matter?"

The fourth elder brother let out a sigh of relief with his hands behind his back, nodded to Xiaoyingzi, and raised his hand to let him go down.

Su Wei heard that someone entered the room, and there was no movement for a long time, his eyes rolled under his eyelids, and when he was about to open his mouth, someone bit him hard.

"Yeah!" Su Wei opened his eyes in pain, and was about to stretch out his legs to kick the man, but the fourth elder brother gnawed on the ear again.

"Why do you always bite me?" Su Wei sat up straight like a carp, extremely dissatisfied.

"What do you think?" the fourth elder brother's eyes sank like a deep pool, "I wish I could dismantle you into my stomach and swallow you in one mouthful, so as not to worry about it every day!"

"I—" Su Wei puffed up his cheeks and stared at the fourth elder brother for a while, but at the end he didn't dare to say a word, lowered his head, and poked his finger on the fourth elder brother's arm, "Then, the eighteenth elder brother fell into the pool Already, what can I do if I don’t want to be saved?”

"Are all the guards in the mansion just decorations? Do you need to jump into the pool by yourself?" The fourth elder brother hated the iron and pulled the quilt to surround someone who was smoking hot. Do you know? Next time, if you act impulsively like this next time, I won’t be willing to beat you, so I will hit Xiaoyingzi, [-] blows at a time!"

"You can't be so unreasonable," Su Wei raised his head abruptly, "The water in that pool won't drown anyone! If you dare to hit Xiaoyingzi, I'll fight with you! Besides, it's natural for me to save Elder Brother Eighteen Do you understand the reaction? I am a kind person by nature!"

The fourth elder brother held back for a few times, and burst out laughing, the heart hanging in his throat all the way, and now it finally fell down.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Gonggong was dissatisfied immediately, "Do you have any objections?"

He said struggling to get out of the quilt to pinch someone, but was held down by the fourth elder brother with a grin.Not long after, the two got into a mess on the bed again.

At night, after being frightened during the day, Su Wei fell into the water again, and soon fell asleep.

The fourth elder brother lay beside him, covering the stomach and knees of someone who was greedy for cold, if Ding Qi hadn't repeatedly promised, he would definitely let this person sleep with the quilt covered tonight.

"Master," Zhang Bao whispered into the bedroom, "Master Zhang Tingyu has delivered a letter. Tuo Heqi has recently replaced several guards from the Xianglan Banner and Xiangbai Banner Infantry Battalion, and sent in many soldiers from the Zhenghuang Banner. In addition, Desheng The Chengmen captain of the gate suddenly took a rest due to illness in the past few days, and Tuo Heqi temporarily replaced him with a newcomer."

"It's finally here," said the fourth elder brother, propping his forehead with one hand, his eyes were cold.

Su Weiwu slept very deeply, he didn't know that the city of Beijing, which had been boring all summer, was about to be turbulent again.
