Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 24 years

Sho San Institute

Early in the morning, Cao Qing was kneeling by the bed, about to cry, but last night he was confused for a while, and when he woke up, the fourth elder brother was gone.He was probably the first eunuch who lost his master to sleep, not to mention his success in the future, whether he can keep his head is a problem.

Just when Cao Qing was thinking about whether it would be quicker to die by throwing himself into a well, or easier to die by hanging, someone knocked on the window outside.Cao Qing was taken aback, and ran to open the window, only to see Su Peisheng standing outside the window with his fourth elder brother wrapped tightly in a blanket, "Why are you standing there! Come and pick one up!"

Su Wei put the fourth elder brother on the bed, covered the quilt, and looked back at the stupefied Cao Qing, "Let me tell you, don't tell anyone what happened today, including your master, otherwise you will be able to keep the night watch As soon as the news of elder brother's loss spreads, you can wait to be punished."

Cao Qing nodded quickly, Su Wei glanced at him, turned around and climbed out of the window again.

In mid-June, the fourth brother's body finally recovered, and the elder brother was also lifted from the ban.

The emperor and the crown prince visited the fourth elder brother in person, and the fourth elder brother thanked him. The emperor smiled and dragged the fourth elder brother to his side, and looked around, "I'm still skinny. Looking back, I have to take good care of my body." This time, Huang Ama went to the outside of the Great Wall to find some good mountain treasures for you, and I will make up for it later.”

The crown prince said from the sidelines, "My son is bringing the best wild ginseng, don't worry about the fourth brother, we will bring you more when we go out this time."

The fourth elder brother took the brocade box and handed it to the eunuch, "Thank you second brother, my brother will definitely take it well." The prince smiled, and the fourth elder brother turned to the emperor and said, "When will Huang Ama leave Beijing this time?"

"I'll leave the day after tomorrow. You're in good shape, so don't send it off. If there's anything wrong, let your mother-in-law inform me immediately." The emperor said.

The fourth elder brother heard the words, leaned over and knelt down, "I thank Huang Ama for her care, and I hope Huang Ama will take care of you all the way."

Master Kangxi nodded and helped the fourth elder brother up.

Sheng Jia started Luan, and all the elder brothers also moved back to the elder brother's office one after another.

The No. [-] Institute was bustling for several days in a row. The eldest brother, third elder brother, and fifth elder brother all came to visit with gifts. During the day, the fourth elder brother smiled and dealt with the brothers, but at night he often secretly felt sad.

Su Wei saw that there was no perfect solution for a while, and the memory of relatives may only be healed by time.

At the beginning of July, the fourth elder brother was called into the palace.

Cining Palace

Su Wei stood outside the door waiting, an old woman in green smiled at him, gave him a plate of snacks, and asked him to sit on the porch and eat sour plum soup.

Su Wei was overwhelmed with gratitude, from elder brother's place to the Compassionate Ning Palace, he almost walked through more than half of the palace, he was really hungry.

Afterwards, Su Weicai learned from other people that the green-clothed nun was the famous Su Ma Lagu.

inside the house,

The old ancestor leaned on the couch with his fourth elder brother in his arms, and asked Aunt Su Mala to bring her a pair of horn combs, "Come on, my great-grandmother combs your braids for you. Let's comb out all the sickness, and you will be healthy in the future." Healthy."

"Thank you great-grandmother," Yinzhen sat obediently in front of the old ancestor.

The Empress Dowager opened Yinzhen's braids and combed her hair slowly, "You are a lucky person. Great-grandmother remembers that when you were born, there was auspicious snow from the sky, which heralded a good year. Now that you have passed the gate of life and death, you will be determined in the future." It's been a smooth journey. However, whether this life is good or not depends on how people choose and how they live..."

The fourth elder brother thought for a moment and then said, "Yinzhen understands, thank you great-grandmother for teaching."

Coming out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Su Wei followed the fourth elder brother to the Palace of Compassion and Benevolence.

The queen mother didn't keep the fourth elder brother, she asked a few ordinary words, rewarded a bunch of supplements, and let her kneel down.

Cheng Qiangong

The imperial concubine waited in the main hall early in the morning, and the fourth prince did not enter the gate until noon.

"My son pays respects to the Queen Mother. These days, the Queen Mother is worried." The fourth elder brother knelt in the room respectfully, and bowed three heads to the Royal Concubine.

"Okay, get up quickly," the imperial concubine helped the fourth elder brother herself, "Your body is just right, this morning, you have had enough tossing, sit down and rest."

The fourth elder brother sat next to the imperial concubine, "There is no fuss, my son went to pay his respects to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager even braided my son."

The imperial concubine smiled, "The old ancestors will braid your hair, so I won't dare to touch your body anymore because of your sickness."

The fourth elder brother stroked his braids and smiled at the imperial concubine.

Su Wei was standing by the door, just as he ran into the maid who came in to set the meal, Su Wei hurriedly leaned to the side.

The imperial concubine looked at Su Wei, "You are Su Peisheng?"

When Su Wei heard this, he quickly knelt down, "The servant is Su Peisheng."

The imperial concubine nodded, "Speaking of which, you also went out from Chengqian Palace with the fourth elder brother, but I don't remember you very much. Seeing how young you are, you are quite courageous and dare to openly violate the imperial physician's orders."

"This slave is so bold that I ask the imperial concubine to forgive me." Su Wei couldn't decide the attitude of the imperial concubine for a while, so he could only apologize first.

The imperial concubine smiled, "You are not bold, you are thoughtful and have ideas. There are some things that Wang Qin and his gang of eunuchs may think of, but they may not dare to do them, because they worry too much. You are different. Brother's safety comes first, so what is the crime?"

Su Wei bowed his head, "I dare not compare myself with the eunuchs, so I can only use my courage to serve Elder Brother well."

The imperial concubine nodded, "I'm a sensible person. I won't forget your meritorious deeds this time. When you go back, wait for a generous reward."

Su Wei kowtowed, "I thank the imperial concubine for the reward."

The fourth elder brother had lunch at the imperial concubine's place, and the imperial concubine stewed a lot of nourishing ingredients, watching the fourth elder brother drink them one by one before he was relieved.

After noon, the imperial concubine took out a lot of things for the fourth elder brother to take, "Mother Huang'er will not keep you anymore, your house is sick, and you have to change everything when you go back. If there is not enough, come to the emperor's house." Take it here, mother."

The fourth elder brother nodded, and seemed a little hesitant to speak.

The imperial concubine looked at him, and sighed, "Concubine De has been ill all the time. You probably wouldn't see anyone in the past, so just ask for a greeting at the door. You're not to blame for Brother Six, you're still a child." For the sake of doing this, no one in the harem can say no to it. Concubine De is not unreasonable, she is your biological mother, and she won't blame you for it."

The fourth elder brother nodded emphatically, then bent down and knelt down, "I will take my leave."

Yonghe Palace

Qingju waited outside the door, and after seeing the fourth elder brother, she gave a deep blessing, "Don't be surprised, elder brother, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and my mother is afraid that you will be angry with your illness. Even if you are worried about your health in every possible way, you have to temporarily Avoid."

The fourth elder brother nodded, and knelt down outside the gate of Yonghe Palace, "My son greets Er Niang, and I hope Er Niang will ensure her health and recover soon."

Qingju helped the fourth elder brother up, "The empress has prepared a lot of supplements for you, and the little eunuch will help you take them back later. And this," Qingju took out a purse from her sleeve, "This is embroidered by the empress herself. It is a peace talisman for you, and the empress said that you will be worthy of wearing it on your body for 49 days, which can drive away evil spirits and diseases, and keep you safe."

The fourth elder brother took the purse and hung it on his waist, "Please trouble Aunt Qingju to tell Er Niang that the son will be with me every day. And... about the sixth brother, I hope Er Niang will not be too sad, I didn't." Take care of him..."

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Qingju pursed her lips and said, "Your care for elder brother Liu, my mother has seen it in her eyes. Although my mother is sad for brother six's departure this time, But I am also happy for your recovery. Knowing that your body has recovered, the empress has become much more energetic these days."

"That's good," the fourth elder brother raised his head and looked at Qingju, "I won't bother you today, and I'll come back later to say hello to Er Niang."

"Yes," Qingju leaned over, "Send Si elder brother off respectfully."

The fourth elder brother and his party returned to the elder brother's office, and Su Wei followed behind a row of young eunuchs, holding a lot of mountain treasures and supplements.And the news that the imperial concubine wanted to reward the eunuchs of the three eunuchs, especially Eunuch Su, also spread like wildfire.

The fourth elder brother recovered physically, and the atmosphere in the third institute became much more active.Perhaps because of this change, many eunuchs with small thoughts became honest for the time being.

However, there are also a few people who, since the fourth elder brother recovered, have been in fear every day, especially after learning that the imperial concubine will reward Su Peisheng generously, they have trouble sleeping and eating, such as Wei Tu, such as Cao Qing.

The second day after the fourth elder brother entered the palace to pay his respects, the rewards from the masters in the palace arrived at the elder brother's place.Su Wei looked at the silks, satins, jewels and jades all over the yard, and swallowed heavily, feeling that the things they brought back before were not serious rewards.

Following the reward came the emperor's imperial concubine's decree to the eunuchs of Zhengsan Institute.Except that the eunuchs of the three main schools were rewarded for one year and one month each, Su Peisheng was appointed as the eighth-rank chief eunuch, and he was full-time for all the personal affairs of the fourth elder brother.

Su Wei was promoted to the eighth-rank eunuch and became the only eunuch with a high rank in Zhengsan Institute. He was appointed by the imperial concubine himself. Although he was not the chief executive, his honor was self-evident.

As for Su Wei's rank, it's not as simple as just changing his clothes. Not to mention his monthly allowance, he even changed the furnishings and utensils in the house.

Especially under the instruction of the fourth elder brother, Su Wei's original poplar bed was replaced with a large bed carved with mandshurica mandshurica, which gave Su Wei a deep illusion of becoming a local tyrant overnight.

The night in July is very short, but very deep.

On the corridor of elder brother's house, an eunuch lit a lantern and led a small figure to the closed door of Dongwu house.

After the Sixth Brother passed away, the relics were burned and moved, leaving only an empty yard.

Su Wei held the lantern, pushed open the door with difficulty, and waited for the fourth elder brother to walk in.

The fourth elder brother walked along the familiar gravel road to the main hall, but felt empty in his heart. The pine potted plants that had been placed on both sides of the road were gone now, and the bare yard looked extraordinarily empty.

The two entered the main hall, and the fourth elder brother walked into the bedroom. The mahogany bed with only a shelf was still there. It seemed that not long ago, the sixth elder brother was still sitting on it, because he held him down and let someone give him a massage. Just angrily ignore anyone.

The fourth elder brother sat down by the bed, touched the edge of the bed, and did not speak. Su Wei could only hold the lantern and accompany him.In fact, he felt a little churn in his heart, this empty yard, the house where an elder brother had just disappeared would feel somewhat gloomy.

"Kala" A strange noise broke the silence in the silent room, startling the two of them.

"Who?" Su Wei held up the lantern and walked to the door of the bedroom, where a shadowy figure stood in the far corner.
