Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 47 years

At the end of January, Yuqing Palace

It was getting late, and there were coughing sounds in the study.Eunuch An Huai was about to enter with a bowl of white fungus pear soup when he heard a voice behind him, "I'll come."

"Slave pays respects to Fang Fujin."

"You go down first," Li Jiashi took the pear soup, and gently pushed open the door of the study room. The prince was sitting behind the desk reciting ancient scriptures.

"Your Highness, rest for a while." Li Jiashi brought the soup to the desk, "You have been coughing a lot lately, it's time to ask the imperial physician to take a look."

"No need," the prince put down the scriptures and took the soup bowl, "it's just a little cold, just rest for two days and you'll be fine."

Li Jiashi sighed softly, took a robe and put it on the crown prince, "My concubine heard from the servant that the emperor sent Zhang Penghe to intervene in the case of Gali and Zhang Boxing."

"En," the prince put down the soup bowl, looked up at Li Jiashi, and patted her hand lightly, "It's been so hard for you all these years. I've always been afraid after following my master."

"What did you say?" Li Jiashi's eyes turned red, but the corners of his mouth curled up. "It's a blessing to be able to follow you. I don't ask for anything now, but I just want to spend more time with you. Beside, take good care of you and accompany you."

The crown prince nodded, his brows and eyes were very peaceful, "Fortunately, Hong Xi and Hong Jin are growing up soon, so I won't let a few children be trapped in this boxy world like my master. "

On the third day of February, Prince Yong's Mansion

The fourth elder brother came back from court, Su Wei packed up and was about to go out.

"Where are you going?" The fourth elder brother looked dissatisfied at a certain father-in-law who was not doing his job properly.

"I'm going to Jishengtang. A batch of new goods arrived today." Su Wei put on a melon skin cap and twitched his braids, making his face look round. We also need to expand the market. I have to go and arrange a charter with the shopkeeper in the next few days."

The fourth elder brother curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and said while changing the court clothes, "Wu Ji and Longsheng are about to pay their annual accounts, and those salt merchants are notoriously cunning. Be careful, don't be fooled too much." incredible."

"What do you mean don't be fooled too much? Am I destined to be fooled?" Su Dacaidong was quite dissatisfied, "I have more experience in business than you. Besides, if you are worried, you can send someone to take over Ah. I have Jishengtang, Xilaishun, Wangzhi and Nanjiangyuan in my hands, and I am already overwhelmed."

"You started it yourself, so of course you have to be responsible to the end." The fourth elder brother took off his boots and rolled them up on the couch, "Of course, if you don't want to do it, you are willing to stay with me every day, and I will immediately find someone to replace you. "

Su Wei snorted, and was about to turn around and go out when he saw Zhang Bao coming in with a few booklets.

"Is there any progress in the matter of Tuo Heqi and Qi Shiwu forming a party?" Su Wei stretched his neck and moved closer.

"This morning, Huang Ama reiterated the matter of Wang Yi's impeachment of Tuo Heqi, and issued an order to Jiuqing to judge the court." The fourth elder brother opened several memorials in his hand, "Since Huang Ama opened the courtiers secret Zou Zhifeng, secretly participating in the prince's faction is like Guo Jiangzhiqing. If I guessed correctly, Huang Ama's attitude this morning is a sign. In a few days, someone will openly impeach him."

"Prince, is it really not good this time?" Su Wei sat next to the fourth elder brother, "Even if there is an incident about the Jiangnan Examination Center, if the emperor has really made up his mind, even if the people's will, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn the tide. "

The fourth elder brother put the memorial on the kang table, gently stroked it with his fingers, "It's all in the Sacred Heart. Actually, I still have some doubts about the second brother. It's just that this is not the time to think about these things, the second brother If it falls down, the first thing I have to face is Yinhu."

Su Wei pursed his lips and nodded, but another familiar figure flashed in his mind.Is it really unavoidable that brothers fight against each other?

Ji Sheng Tang

Su Wei got out of the carriage, and Du Hong came out to welcome him, "The rich man came just in time, and the guys are checking and putting them into the warehouse. This batch of materials is of high quality, and because of the cold weather, Mongolia has also shipped a lot of mountain precious medicinal materials."

"Well," Su Wei nodded, and walked into the store, "It just so happens that Wuji and Longsheng are going to enter Beijing, and then we can let them bring a batch of them to the south. By the way, shopkeeper Du has worked hard these few days, Mongolia If we want to expand sales over there, we need to work out a regulation quickly."

"Oh," Du Hong said with a smile, "There is no need to worry about this matter. Someone came to Beijing to discuss with you."

"People? Who?"

"Di Su," the curtain of the backyard was lifted, revealing a rather familiar face.

"Brother Wang," Su Wei's eyes widened in surprise, "When did you come back?"

"I entered Beijing with the caravan last night." Wang Xiangqing and Su Wei sat down behind the square table, "It's been more than a year since I left. I've heard a lot of news about the capital along the way. Fortunately, Su Di has been mediocre. Ann's."

"Hey," Su Weihan scratched the back of his head with a smile, "I'm lucky, Brother Wang doesn't have to worry about me. But you, you have been wandering around Mongolia with the caravan, and you haven't encountered any danger, have you?"

Wang Xiangqing curled his lips when he heard the words, "What danger are you afraid of as a traveling merchant? It's just an annexation and competition between various firms, and they will do everything they can. It's quite tricky. But fortunately, money can make ghosts go round, and there is Su Di With this great backing, Jishengtang has gained a firm foothold."

"That's good, you don't have to worry about the money," Su Wei patted his chest, "Last year, Jishengtang's revenue doubled, and I cooperated with Lianghuai salt merchants, and money will come into my account immediately, how much do you want?" In a word it is."

"Brother Su is still like this." Wang Xiangqing pursed his lips slightly, his eyes were watery.

Su Wei froze for a moment, blinked and blinked with big eyes, until the door of the warehouse was pushed open, and Mu Ci came out.

"Master Su, you're here," Mu Ci picked up the rag from the counter, and casually dusted off the dust on his body, "I was just making a booklet, and I didn't know until Shopkeeper Du told me."

"Oh," Su Wei reacted abruptly, turned his head and said to Wang Xiangqing, "This is Mu Ci, my newly hired accountant is also living in the small courtyard now."

"Treasurer Du told me," Wang Xiangqing said with a gentle smile, "Young Master Mu is from a scholarly family, so it's rare to be able to handle it well. Manager Du talked to me in time, and he is full of praise for Young Master Mu."

"It's Shopkeeper Du's reputation," Mu Ci smiled embarrassedly, "If Mr. Su hadn't been promoted, and Shopkeeper Du carefully taught him, Mu Ci would still be relying on others to make a living."

"Mr. Mu, you don't need to be humble. I read the account books. Mr. Mu's way of keeping accounts is more concise and clear, and it is easy to check. There is almost no mistake." Wang Xiangqing turned to look at Su Weidao, "It's because Brother Su has a good vision, such an outstanding Mr. Accountant is really hard to come by."

Su Wei got a high hat again, and was extremely proud for a while, "In order to welcome the elder brother, I will treat you today, let the guys finish work early, and let's go to Xilaishun for a meal!"

"It's so lively, I don't know if I have a share?" A laugh came from outside the door, and Yin Shengrong walked into the gate of Jisheng Hall with a guqin on his back.

"So it's Shengrong," Su Wei turned his head and introduced to Wang Xiangqing, "This is Yin Shengrong, Mr. Yin, who opened a piano shop in the capital. I met him when I was dealing with the Longsheng Company." After speaking, he introduced Yin Shengrong , "This is my elder brother, Wang Xiangqing, the shopkeeper behind Ji Shengtang."

"I've met the prince," Yin Shengrong said to Su Wei, bending slightly, with a proud expression on his face, "I brought a big deal to Ji Shengtang today. Brother Su wants to invite someone to dinner, and my younger brother has to be the first one." .”

"Oh? What business?" Su Wei's eyes lit up when he heard that he could make money.

Yin Shengrong put down the guqin and straightened his body, "Due to the war in the late Ming Dynasty, many weaving artists were displaced in Sichuan, and they gradually returned to their homeland in recent years. In addition to the annual tribute, there are also some extra items for Shu brocade, but unfortunately not everyone can buy it." If Brother Su is interested, I can help you build a bridge."

"Really?" Su Wei immediately widened his eyes, "Who to build a bridge with, and when—"

"Brother Su," Wang Xiangqing interrupted Su Wei's questioning, and said helplessly, "It's getting late, how about we talk at the restaurant?"

"Oh, that's right, that's right," Su Wei knocked on his forehead, and hurriedly told everyone to close the door for dinner.

That night, Xilai Shunzhong, a group of people talked happily.Wang Xiangqing is lenient, Yin Shengrong is straightforward, and Mu Ci is free and easy.

What Su Wei didn't know was that in the future when he was immersed in the business world, these people would be his right-hand men and help him achieve another legend that was different from the court.

On the eighth day of February, morning

Shen Tiansheng, secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and others colluded with members of the Ministry, such as Wailang Yiersay, to take over the case of Hutan Heshuo, and was impeached by the censor for extra money, and Emperor Kangxi fell into the memorial.Qi Shiwu and Tuo Heqi also participated in this matter.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, the eighth elder brother, surrounded by several courtiers, passed by the frowning and pensive fourth elder brother, lowered his head slightly and said, "I met the fourth elder brother, it's cold today, the fourth elder brother be careful not to catch a cold."

The fourth elder brother turned his eyes coldly, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about my eighth brother, my prince is in good health."

After leaving the Rijing Gate, Zhang Bao greeted him, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that the prince is ill. The prince was in Changchun Garden to take care of the prince. Do you want to go to Yuqing Palace now?"

The fourth elder brother looked in the direction of Yuqing Palace, and sighed silently, "I can't go, and I can't go, go back to the palace."

On the tenth day of February, the Zongren Mansion will present the results of the trial of the case of Tuo Heqi, Qi Shiwu and others forming a party to drink.

In the court hall, Lord Kangxi said bluntly, "These things are all caused by Yinfeng. Yinfeng's actions, people in the world, regardless of high or low, know everything. If filial piety is the foundation and benevolence is the way, everyone in the world will Knowing that I am my son, there must be no dissent. Why should I ask such people to protect me? But it is hard to cover up his inhumane and filial behavior, and it is shameless to buy such greedy and flattering people with words and money, and secretly obtain information! "

This accusation is not insignificant, it is comparable to when the prince was imprisoned in the Jehol Palace.But now, the prince is lingering on the sick bed, and he is not allowed to enter and leave the court, so he can't even make a plea.

After the reprimand, Lord Kangxi decreed that because Tuo Heqi, Geng E, Qi Shiwu and others were involved in other cases, they would not deal with them until the cases were completed.As for the other people involved in the drinking case, they were all removed from their posts and detained in Hubei Province.He plans to enter Xin Zheku, a subordinate of Prince An, to guard the tomb of the king.Dutu and others belonged to Xinzheku, and all of them were handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for disposal.

The collapse of the Eastern Palace seems to be only in the blink of an eye.

Prince Yong's Mansion

The fourth elder brother came back from the cabinet and ran into Yi Erha who was wandering in the East Garden.

"What is this for?" The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows and watched his youngest daughter lead a group of maids and servants to rummage among the flowers and plants.

"Ama," Yi Erha saw the fourth elder brother, and quickly blessed him, "one of my daughter's favorite pearl hairpins is missing, and the round and big pearl was lost for nothing. I don't know if it was by someone. I picked it up, but couldn’t find it after searching for a long time.”

The fourth elder brother gave a doting smile, and personally led Ilha out of the bushes, "You're such a big girl, and you're running around all day long. Is the haystack where you go by yourself?"

Yilha puffed up his cheeks, tugged at the sleeve of the fourth elder brother and shook it, "It's my daughter's favorite hairpin, I don't care, it was thrown in Ama's garden, Ama will pay me!"

"Okay," the fourth elder brother was happy when he heard the words, "I don't know who you learned your cuteness from. Isn't it just a pearl? Ama asked Zhang Bao to give you an east pearl, and then let the master Put a crown on you."

Yilha smiled brightly, leaned over deftly and said, "Thank you, Ama!"

The fourth elder brother returned to the East Courtyard, because Grandpa Su, who was drunk in Xilaishun a few days ago, was being confined to the inner courtyard at this time.

"Why did you go, and why did you come back?" Su Wei, who was in a panic in the room, tossed the fourth elder brother's study into a mess.

"My lord went to the cabinet," the fourth elder brother rolled up his sleeves, and walked to the desk to look at Grandpa Su's graffiti all morning, "I just ran into Ilha in the garden, she lost her root Zhuchai, the Lord asked Zhang Bao to take an Dongzhu and give it to her."

"Just give it to Ergege?" Su Wei's eyes widened.

The fourth elder brother glanced at him, and said in a slightly puzzled manner, "Mo Yaqi didn't lose anything, so of course I only gave it to Ilha. The sisters have a good relationship, so they won't care about that bead."

Su Wei blinked, raised his hand and tried the fourth brother's forehead, "Are you stupid because you are busy with political affairs, those are Dongzhu, there are only a few in a year. Er Gege lost the pearl hairpin If you want to reward Dongzhu, how can you only give it to one person? Turning around, Er Gege put on Dongzhu's new tiara, what do you ask Da Gege to do?"

"Is it that complicated?" The fourth elder brother sat on the couch and rubbed the center of his brows, "If you don't worry, just ask someone to take an east pearl and give it to Mo Yaqi."

Su Wei puffed up his cheeks, and rushed to the warehouse angrily. On the way, he happened to meet Zhang Bao who had finished his errand.

"What? Dongzhu!" Zhang Bao was stunned, and Su Wei suddenly had a bad feeling.

"This year's Ministry of Internal Affairs hasn't delivered it yet, so there's only one left in the warehouse."

In the evening, Xipei Hospital

Sitting in Song Shi's room, Mo Yaqi looked helpless at the depressed Song Shi, "Er Niang, isn't it just a bead? It was because Ilha lost the pearl hairpin that Ama gave it to her." , don't think too much."

"How can I not think too much?" Song looked back at Mo Yaqi, "You have always been so soft-tempered, and you don't even think about who is the eldest daughter of the palace. Turning around, Er Gege took Xin Xinzi out, Where do you put your face?"

"Er Niang, Ilha is a child at heart. Our sisters never thought about competing for superiority or inferiority. Er Niang, don't worry about me all the time. Aren't you and Li Fangfujin getting along very well now?"

"I don't have any other choice." Song turned around angrily, "Look at Er Gege, if you're fine and you know to go to the East Courtyard, you can't imitate others."

"Er Niang—" Mo Yaqi wanted to persuade her again, but Baosheng happened to come in from the outside, "Big Gege, Mr. Su is here."

Mo Yaqi walked outside the door, and Su Wei was waiting at the bottom of the steps with a wooden box.

"Why is Mr. Su here?" Mo Yaqi walked up to Su Wei.

"The servant greets Da Gege," Su Wei leaned over, "The prince asked the servant to bring something to Da Gege."

"What?" Mo Yaqi lightly raised his eyebrows.

Su Wei raised his hand to open the lid of the wooden box.

"This is?"

"This is the South Pearl," Su Wei bowed his head slightly, "Although it is not as noble as the East Pearl, it can be used as a court pearl. But it is rare, and the pearl is large and shiny, so it must be very eye-catching when set on a crown."

Mo Yaqi bent the corner of his mouth, took the wooden box and looked at it again and again, and raised his head after a while, with a little bit of clarity in his eyes, "This Nanzhu is not a tribute from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right?"

"Um, yes," Su Wei nodded, "My lord dotes on the two princesses, but it's a pity that there is only one Dongzhu left last year. This south bead is also rare, and the lord came across it by chance. It took a lot of money to buy it."

"Thank you, Ama, for me," Mo Ya said after blessing her body, then raised her head and smiled at Su Wei, "Thank you, Eunuch Su, too."

Inside Yilha's house, several maids looked around at the Dongzhu.

Lan Fu, Li's niece, smiled and said to Yierha, "It can be seen that our Er Gege is the most loved by the prince. Such a big Dongzhu is rare even in Fujin."

"Ama has always treated my sister and me equally." Ilha put Dongzhu into the box, "I happened to meet him today, and tomorrow, I will give you the pigeon blood that Erniang gave me." Sister sent it."

"Such a good gem, why bother Er Gege?" Lan Fu frowned, "Speaking of which, the prince himself rewarded you, so can Big Gege blame you?"

Yilha frowned and looked at Lan Fu. Before he could speak, the maid at the door walked into the doorway, "Reporting to Er Gege, Eunuch Su just came to Xipei courtyard. I heard that the prince rewarded Da Gege with a new Nanzhu."

"My lord—" Lan Fu just wanted to say something, but Yilha stared back at him coldly. After hesitating for a moment, he said again, "It's all about that Su Peisheng, just giving me a reward. I'm afraid no one will know about it." .”
