Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 47 years

On the third day of April, East Courtyard

When Shiyue avoided Mo Yaqi and walked into the backyard alone, Su Wei was looking up at a tree of green jujubes, a long pole stained with insects stood aside, and a few green leaves slowly fell down his skirt.

A breeze blew gently between the two of them, making a rustling sound.Su Wei turned around slowly, and smiled slightly at Shiyue, "This year's jujubes are better than previous years. It's not yet the beginning of summer, and you can already see the fruit. When it's ripe, I'll ask Xiaoyingzi to give it to you." Send some."

Shiyue was still in a daze, after listening to Su Wei's words, she lowered her head slightly and said after a while, "I ate a lot in previous years, and there are still a lot of dried ones left over from last year."

"You girls, it's good for your health to eat more jujubes." Su Wei picked up the teapot on the stone table and poured a full cup for Shiyue, "Try it, it's made from boiled jujube flowers. Can't drink."

Shiyue bent her lips to take the tea bowl, took a sip, the faint fragrance was slightly sweet, and the bitter taste could only be tasted in the throat, "This tea is best eaten with milk and chestnut cake, wait for me Go back and make some for you."

"Hey, it's kind of nice," Su Wei returned to his usual simple and honest look, scratching the back of his head with a smirk.

"Your injury—" Shiyue held the tea bowl in her hand, and looked at Su Wei worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay," Su Wei waved his hands again and again, "It was a skin trauma, and we had already taken care of it in the palace. I lay on the bed for two days and the pain disappeared at all."

Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard in the mansion that you were beaten in Changchun Garden, and I was really upset. Under the eyes of the emperor, it is different from other places. I am afraid that you will really eat it." It's a loss."

"Oh, I was just unlucky," Su Wei kicked the stones flying under his feet, "However, I am also considered lucky, so many people were beaten together, and I was the least injured."

"I'm relieved to see that you're fine." Shiyue put the tea bowl on the table and looked into the front yard, "I heard from Doctor Ding that the prince's illness was caused by palpitations and depression. I guess it's also because of worry." you?"

Su Wei smirked twice, lowered his head and did not speak.

Shiyue slightly bent her lips, turned around and said, "It's not convenient for me to stay here for a long time. When you are free, come and sit with me for a while."

"Okay," Su Wei nodded, and sent Shiyue to the door.

"By the way," Shiyue turned her head as if suddenly remembering something, "When I came here just now, I saw Lan Fu next to Er Gege hiding outside your courtyard door, probably eavesdropping on you talking to Da Gege, seeing me Just ran away in a hurry."

"Lan Fu?" Su Wei frowned, "That niece of Li Fang Fujin?"

"It's her," Shiyue stroked her temples, "I know that you and the prince love the two little Gege very much, but in the eyes of others, they always have to be distinguished. What's more, it was you who saved the big Gege back then." Come back, you stay by the prince's side all day long, your identities are always different, it's better to pay more attention at ordinary times."

"I see, don't worry," Su Wei nodded with a smile, and straightened his cuffs with one hand, "It's just a little girl, and I can't find any flowers."

A group of female family members left the East Courtyard together, and Lan Fu walked with Yi Erha at the end. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Lan Fu whispered in Yi Erha's ear, "Just now Da Gege took the maid to visit in person. That Eunuch Su is gone, and the two chatted happily, without any respect at all. Da Gege also said that he would give Eunuch Su some blood-activating and nourishing-qi pills."

Yilha frowned, turned his head and glared at Lan Fu, "I said, why didn't you wait by my side just now, serving a cup of tea, but no one was there. It turns out that you are only doing things like listening to the corners and spreading nonsense. go!"

"Oh, my little master," Lan Fu stomped his feet on the spot, his face full of grievances, "I also happened to see it, who would have thought that Big Ge would go to see a punished eunuch. Besides, I also Isn't it for you? Don't look at Da Gege's kind and generous face, he is actually much smarter than you. Although Su Peisheng is just a slave, he hangs around the prince all day long, and he reminds him from time to time, the prince It will be more or less affected. You and Da Gege are not too young, and in two or three years, you should marry someone else. At that time, whether to stay in Beijing or Fumeng—"

"Okay!" Ilha interrupted Lan Fu with a bad expression, and turned his head to look at the flowers and plants by the roadside, "You don't need to worry about my affairs, and you don't want to think about my elder sister! Let me find you again Play tricks to provoke the relationship between me and elder sister, don't blame me for asking Erniang to drive you home!"

Lan Fu was dazed for a moment, pursed his lips and pondered for a while, then leaned over slightly and said, "Lan Fu knew he was wrong, Lan Fu didn't dare."

In the evening, Xipei Hospital

Shiyue was copying something on the low table by the window, and Niu Hulu walked in shaking a small fan, "Sister, what are you writing?"

"It's nothing," Shiyue raised her head and smiled, "I'm bored, copy a few poems, and then embroider them on the fan."

"Poetry? What poetry? Is it a love poem?" Niu Hulu smiled mischievously, tilting his head to look at it.

"What nonsense, they are all mothers," Shiyue slapped Niu Hulu.

Niu Hulu picked up the few pieces of paper with a smile, and read it lightly, "Among all kinds of fruits, jujube is the only one that is humble. The skin is cracked like a turtle's hand, and the leaves are as small as a mouse's ear. Hu didn't know it. Flowers grow in this garden. It is not suitable to be climbed and played, so as not to be injured. In February, Qujiang head is full of miscellaneous flowers and red flowers. Dates are also in the middle, just like Xizi. If you hug each other, you will have a full life. Send a message to the spring guest, begging you to look at it once. You love to wrap your fingers softly, and you will pity Liuqi. You want to be pleasing to the eye, but you dare not compete for peaches and plums. ..."

After Niu Hulu finished reading, the room was silent for a moment, Shiyue didn't speak.Niu Hulu watched it twice again, looked at Shiyue with a bit of worry, and said, "Why did my sister choose Bai Juyi's "Jujube Tree in the Apricot Garden"? Is my sister trying to compare herself with jujubes? Why belittle yourself? The prince treats his sister no worse than others."

"It's just an idle poem," Shiyue said with a slight smile, "Besides, comparing yourself with a jujube tree is not self-deprecating. You can't be beautiful, you can't be tender, you can always chop it into wood, and make a car. Wheel. It is not easy for a person to be useful to that person in his whole life."

April [-]th, Baye Mansion

Arsun'a brought a young man into Baye's mansion, and Yinhu hurried out to greet him.

"My minister pays my respects to Lord Baylor," Arson Alio leaned over and pointed to the man beside him, "This is Cha Binna, the right servant of the Ministry of War. Today, I asked my minister to recommend you."

"Weichen Wanyan's Chabina pays homage to Babeile," the man knelt down and saluted.

"Master Cha, please get up quickly," the eighth elder brother smiled and helped Cha Binna up, "I heard that Lord Cha is brave and good at fighting, and he is best at arranging troops. Yinhu has always been close to her, but it's a pity that she has nowhere to go. .”

"Lord Baylor's praise," Cha Bina bowed his head and cupped his hands, "this humble minister has always admired the good name of Eighth Master, and now it is my honor to be appreciated by Lord Baylor."

Yinhu left Chapina and Arsunha for lunch, and Chapina took his leave first.

Arson'a followed Yinhu into the study, and handed Yinhu a memorial, "Now that Gali has been dismissed, and the position of the governor of Liangjiang is vacant, Chapina is highly valued by the emperor, and he has been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War at a young age. My ah Ma intends to arrange for the courtier, the Holy Majesty, to speak, and to protect Chabina to be the governor of Liangjiang. In this way, Lord Baylor's position in Jiangnan will become even more unshakable."

The eighth elder brother lightly slid across the memorial with one hand, and finally knocked on the table and said, "Forget it, Master Zuo will inevitably make Huang Ama taboo, so why bother to restrain his hands and feet? It's better to make people want to move but not dare to move. It’s better to have mermaid meat on the chopping board.”

"What Lord Belle said is very true," Arsunha lowered his head, his expression changing.

"By the way," the eighth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard that Master Aling'a has been feeling unwell recently, has he gotten better in the past few days?"

"Thank you, Lord Belle, for your concern." Arsunah pursed the corners of her lips slightly, "I am indeed old, and now I have more energy than I want to be in charge of the Imperial Academy."

"Alas," Eighth Prince sighed, leaning on the back of the chair, "It's because Yinhu didn't live up to expectations, and made all the adults worry about me. Now, please ask your father to take a good rest."

Arsunha nodded, raised his head as if remembering something again, and said, "By the way, has Mr. Baylor come into contact with that Mazi?"

Hearing this, Babeile sneered, "That man is a stone in the latrine, so don't worry about it. Left, Huang Ama reactivated him, just to get rid of the reputation of favoring the Han people. Recently, Huang Ama treated the Han people Many courtiers were dissatisfied with the attack on Manchu officials such as Gali. However, this also gave us a lot of opportunities..."

April [-]th, Prince Yong's Mansion

When Fu Nai walked into the East Courtyard, he was facing Grandpa Su who was riding a stone lion.

"Eunuch Su," Fu Nai laughed hoarsely, "Where did you get your mount?"

"The stone seat at the side door is broken. I'll let them move it in for a while." Su Wei moved on the lion's back, staring at Fu Nai from the door to the porch with flat eyes.

Fu Nai swallowed, took out a few greeting cards from his pocket, and handed them to Su Wei, "This is from the concierge, please have a look at it, Eunuch Su."

"En," Su Wei flipped through coaxingly, and basically didn't know anyone.

In the house, the fourth elder brother who was forced to take a nap finally got up to the hour and moved from the bed to the couch, stretched out his hand to the cabinet, and his face suddenly wrinkled.

Seeing this, Xiao Yingzi standing at the door was about to run away, but was caught by the fourth elder brother, "Where is the master's book? I can't read the memorial, why is the book gone?"

"Uh, the book was put away by the master," Xiaoyingzi prayed with a bitter face that his master would come to rescue him soon, "the master said that in the afternoon, the master will not be able to read the book."

"Why?" Brother Si raised his eyebrows.

Xiaoyingzi muttered twice, lowered his head and said, "The light is not good in the afternoon, it will hurt your eyes, the master also said, said—"

"What are you talking about?" Brother Si lowered his face.

Xiaoyingzi swallowed her saliva, and boldly said, "Master said, if you have nothing to do, you should go out for a walk more often, exercise your body, stay on the couch every day, be careful—be careful of premature aging!"

"Su Peisheng!" A roar from inside the room shook the dust off the beams.

Su Wei touched the goose bumps on his arms, and moved into the house step by step.

April [-], Xipei Hospital

Baosheng led the tailor into the door, smiled and wondered at Mo Ya, "Da Gege's figure really changes every day, this time I have to let the master measure it carefully, summer clothes are no better than winter clothes, even if they don't fit at all come out."

Mo Yaqi stood up with the corners of her lips bent, "The skirts and gowns are all tied up. If I grow longer later, I just let them out."

"What Big Ge said is true," the tailor lowered his head, took the ruler and began to measure the size.

"Ge Ge," the little girl guarding the door walked into the door, leaned over to Mo Yaqi and said, "Sister Bai Shao is outside the door, and she asked to see Ge Ge."

"Why is she here?" Mo Yaqi frowned, "Last time she had a conflict with Lan Qing in Ilha's room, didn't I transfer her to the sewing room?"

"Maybe there is something to report to Gege," Baosheng looked out and said, "For Aunt Yang'er's sake, let her come in and ask."

Mo Yaqi exhaled slowly, nodded after thinking for a while and said, "Okay, let her in."

After Bai Shao was led into the room by the little maid, she immediately knelt down, "My servant kowtowed at Da Gege, this servant has something important to report."

Seeing her yellow face and obviously rough hands, Mo Yaqi couldn't bear it, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Reporting to Da Gege," Bai Shao raised his head, "Someone is spreading gossip about Da Gege behind his back, saying that Da Gege doesn't distinguish between superiority and inferiority, that he doesn't know how to defend men and women, and that he only follows, follows—" Bai Shao paused, cautiously Taking a quick glance at Mo Yaqi's expression, he slammed his head on the ground, "Speaking of Dage, I only want to get closer to the eunuch!"

"Presumptuous!" The tea bowl on the table was swept to the ground by Mo Yaqi.

Baosheng and the others quickly knelt down to plead guilty, Mo Yaqi took a deep breath, turned to look at the tailor kneeling beside him and said, "You were in the sewing room, did you hear these rumors? To tell the truth, if you dare to lie to Me, I will send you and Bai Shao to Fujin!"

"I don't dare to lie," the tailor kowtowed hurriedly, "What Bai Shao said, slave, I have indeed heard it mentioned before. It's just that it's just some unpleasant gossip, slave, I absolutely dare not take it seriously."

After hearing what the tailor said, Mo Yaqi's face sank immediately.

Baosheng clenched his lips, walked up to Mo Yaqi and said, "It's all because the servants are confused and not well informed. Da Gege must tell Fujin, or tell the prince directly. This matter is related to Da Gege's reputation, and it must not be taken lightly. Let it go!"

Mo Yaqi walked to the tea chair step by step, her cold expression had calmed down a lot, "I need to find out who spread these rumors first, and then decide whether to alarm Fujin and Ama. Baosheng, you go to the sewing room Make sure to find out where the rumors came from, and if anyone doesn't cooperate, send them to the darkroom!"

Baosheng was slightly startled, where the darkroom is, the servants in the entire Prince Yong's Mansion knew it well, and few who went in could come out whole.

In the evening, East Courtyard

Dagong just threw his arms away and shook the dice with the fourth elder brother to win the silver. Xiaoyingzi ran in in a panic, "My lord, master, it's not good. There was news from the Xipei Hospital that Da Gege got angry, and dealt with it." I left a few servants in the sewing room, and now I'm taking people to Ergege's place."

"What?" Su Wei's eyes widened, and he hurriedly prepared to kick off his boots, but the fourth elder brother grabbed an arm.

"It's just a few slaves. There must be a reason for Mo Yaqi to deal with her."

"I know this, but why did Big Ge go to Er Gege?"

Su Wei turned his head to look at Xiaoyingzi, Xiaoyingzi pursed his lips and said, "Eunuch Chai came to report just now, it seems that the people in Er Gege's house were spreading bad things about Da Gege outside, and a girl in the sewing room secretly told Da Gege Grid."

"Ergege won't let people do this kind of thing." Su Wei frowned, and planned to get off the ground again, "There must be some misunderstanding, I'll go and see."

"Let the children solve the children's affairs," the fourth elder brother pulled Su Wei to lean on the soft couch, "what's more, even if Ilha did something inappropriate. Mo Yaqi It is only natural for the eldest sister to teach."

"But," Su Wei tugged at his braids, "The two princesses are so close, if a rift arises because of this—"

"Sooner or later, there will be a rift," the fourth elder brother continued.

Su Wei was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

The fourth elder brother sighed slowly, "You know, in my heart, Mo Yaqi and Ilha are both high and low, and they are both the jewels in my palm. However, in the eyes of outsiders, they are still different. Is there any difference between them? As a prostitute, girls are naturally respected by their elders. Mo Yaqi is destined to shoulder more responsibilities, so she will also have higher glory. If Yierha can't bear to be subordinated to others, the rift between the two of them is irrelevant Avoid it. It’s better to let them recognize the reality earlier. I believe that Mo Yaqi can handle it well, and Ilha has enough heart.”

Su Wei pursed his lips, looked out the window, and then at the fourth elder brother. He hesitated for a long time, and finally pointed at Xiaoyingzi, "Go, keep an eye on the progress of the matter, and report in time if there is any situation!"
