Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 48 years

July 28, The Farm

It was almost evening, the sky was getting dark, and things could not be seen clearly in the house.A red candle as thick as a child's arm was burning on the kang table, which looked bright but couldn't illuminate very far.

Su Wei entered the door for a long time, still a little dazed, standing in the shadow, staring at the half of the face reflected by the candlelight for a long time, but he dared not go forward.

The fourth elder brother put down his book and looked up, quite strangely, "Why didn't you come over? My master has been waiting for you, and he didn't even eat dinner."

"what……"

Su Wei responded in a daze, and rubbed his hands on his body. For some reason, he was suddenly at a loss.

"Then, then, I'll ask someone to prepare meals for you. What do you want to eat? This is a rural place, and there is nothing delicious, and I didn't know you were coming—"

Seeing that the person who had just entered the room was about to turn around and go out again, the fourth elder brother frowned, "Stand still!"

"what?"

The person in front of the door held the doorknob with one hand and froze again. He watched helplessly as the person on the couch got up, put on his shoes, and walked towards him step by step.

"host--"

The person had come to him, Su Wei finally saw the face clearly, his heart fell to the ground, but he couldn't say a word, and the world suddenly turned upside down in front of him.

The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows, and there was a pretty smile on the corner of his mouth. Su Wei put his arm around the fourth elder brother's shoulder, blushing so much that there was no place to put it, and his eyes looked east and west, but he didn't dare to look at the fourth elder brother's face.

"I'm obedient today," the fourth elder brother praised with satisfaction, and carried him all the way into the bedroom.

The mahogany and vermilion lacquer carved bed was wider than the one in the East Courtyard by one and a half body. Usually Su Wei slept by himself, no matter how he rolled at night, he couldn't get to the ground.

The soft quilt was touched on the back, and the fourth prince's body pressed up, but Grandpa Su, whose heart had turned into water, suddenly became awake for two minutes.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

The fourth elder brother's shoulder was supported by one hand. Su Wei ignored the dissatisfied expression of the fourth elder brother. With a flushed face, he took a few breaths and said, "Aren't you supposed to go to the Old Summer Palace today? How come?" Appearing here? I clearly saw your guard of honor in the morning!"

"Have you seen the ceremonial guard of the master?" The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows, and slowly pressed the hands on his shoulders on the bed, "Then did you see me?"

Su Wei's face froze, his eyelashes drooped slightly, "No, no, your sedan chair is too tightly blocked..."

"Let's just say it," the fourth elder brother lowered his body, and his cool lips brushed against Su Wei's ear, "I have won the praise of the common people on this journey today, and I kneel down to see you off—"

Su Wei trembled slightly, and curled up slightly with the hands pressed against his face.

"But, in my heart, I just can't give birth to any joy..."

The fourth elder brother's breathing became heavier and he exerted force on his mouth.

Su Wei followed suit, but his collar was turned aside. His scorching breath flowed across his chest along the open front of his shirt, taking away the last trace of his strength.

"Grandpa feels uneasy and lonely..."

The fourth elder brother's lips slid from one side to the other, and he has the utmost patience that no one can imagine for the person under him at the moment.

On the contrary, Grandpa Su, who had been teased all the time, kicked off his boots with a red face, and put his arms around the person on his body.

The fourth elder brother chuckled, bit Su Wei's lips, and slid his hand into the inner garment along the hem of the robe, "It was because some people were not there, and the scene like that, the master was actually not interested."

Su Wei was pinched, and he couldn't help panting.The fourth elder brother hugged him even tighter, as if he was about to embed himself in his body.

The two lips are locked together, and the lips and teeth are close to each other. Apart from the occasional sound of sparks from a candle in the room, there is only the sound of sweet water stains.

After a groan, the mahogany bed, usually known for its firmness, began to shake slightly.

The bed curtain was taken off the rope buckle to hide the spring in the room, but occasionally there were one or two low gasps and slight crying sounds intermittently.

In Hongluan's tent, the person next to the mattress half bit his lip, with one hand firmly on the back of the person on the body, the brocade robe hanging on the body has long been rubbed so that no shape can be discerned.

The pure white obscene trousers slowly slid down the weak legs, and when they reached the ankles, they were caught by the bulging toes, and they shook three times before falling to the ground.

The fourth elder brother moved his lower body, with Su Wei's red face in his eyes, this man always endured first, biting his lip, but kept silent.But in the end, the lips could not be bitten anymore, and the eyes were blurred, and there would be uncontrollable sobs in the throat, and the voice could make people forget everything.

The fourth elder brother pressed his body again, lifted one of Su Wei's legs, successfully found the mechanism of the joy of touch, and hit it hard.

Su Wei stared wide-eyed, loosened the strength on his teeth, and let out a sob. He was so scared that he hurriedly wanted to cover his mouth, but his body didn't give him a chance.

The big mahogany bed moved faster and faster, and the creaking sound became louder and louder. The person on the bed could no longer restrain himself, and changed from moaning to begging for mercy. His outstretched hands were wrapped around his shoulders, and he was lifted up from the bed again. , sitting on that person's lap, the lower body is more fit and deeper.

I don't know how long it took to go up and down, Su Wei, who was sweating finely, was turned over by the fourth elder brother and pressed on the bed again. Fireworks started to go off in his eyes, and he couldn't even yell for mercy. Said in my ear, "This night is still very long..."

farm house exterior

It was getting dark, and Fu Nai walked back and forth outside the gate of the second courtyard clutching his horsewhip, stretching his neck from time to time to look at the window where there was still a little candlelight.

Zhang Qilin, who had just boiled a large pot of hot water, walked out of the kitchen in the small courtyard with a teapot in his hand. Seeing Fu Nai anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he hurriedly went up to him and said, "Don't worry about my freshly boiled water. If you are in a hurry, come to our room and rest."

"How can we not be in a hurry?" Fu Nai shook the horsewhip in his hand, frowning, "We came here as soon as we left Beijing, we didn't even enter the Old Summer Palace, Fujin was followed by an empty guard of honor After walking all the way, if I don't come back tonight, how about asking Fujin tomorrow."

"What's the big deal, the lord is still in a hurry?" Zhang Qilin held the teapot with a relaxed expression on his face, "You just listen to me, rest when you want, sleep when you need to sleep, the lord will not be able to leave tonight It's hot in the house, even if you turn the ground out of the hole here, it won't help."

"But—" Fu Nai pointed to the window with only a little hope, "Isn't the light still on? Maybe if I wait a little longer, the prince will come out."

"Oh, my big brother," Zhang Qilin smiled sympathetically, and patted Fu Nai's shoulder with his free hand. Don't you guys understand this kind of thing?"

Fu Nai pursed his lips dryly, the horsewhip in his hand hung down weakly, and finally raised his hand and arched Zhang Qilin, "Then I will disturb the father-in-law tonight."

"Aiya, what kind of trouble is this?" Zhang Qilin opened the courtyard door, and led Fu Nai to the wing room, "We have a lot of houses, and the bedding is all newly changed. You can rest in peace and get up early tomorrow." gone."

That night, everyone in the courtyard seemed to be sleeping deeply.

It's just that when the sky was about to dawn, the fourth elder brother called for hot water.The two Zhang father-in-laws, who had been prepared for a long time, carried the wooden barrel into the house, and the lights in the bedroom were brightly lit. At this time, the fourth elder brother also discovered Su Wei's horrible leg.

The farm suddenly became lively.Grandpa Su, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, had no idea how many people his legs had tossed.

Commander Fu, who got up early, went back and forth to find two doctors and four bone-setting masters, and took three doses of medicine. Finally, seeing that it was getting dark again, the fourth elder brother got on the carriage step by step.

Grandpa Su, who woke up in the evening, was speechless for a long time looking at his legs with three or four layers of plaster. Finally, he finished half a pot of millet porridge and fell asleep again.

On the first day of August, Caixia Garden

At noon, the concierge ushered the tenth elder brother in, and the ninth elder brother came out with warm wine, "I knew you would come today, so I ordered the kitchen to roast the mutton early, and we brothers are also taking advantage of others to have a good time today." Have fun."

Elder Brother Ten was unexpectedly calm, and smiled mysteriously at Elder Ninth, "My younger brother is indeed here to have fun with Brother Nine today, but there is no need to borrow someone else's light."

"Oh?" Brother Nine raised his eyebrows and put down the jug with a smile. "Today, Empress Ama came to the Old Summer Palace for a banquet. The fourth brother brought a guard of honor when he came out of the capital as if afraid that others would not know. I heard yesterday I was so ashamed and flustered for him, could it be that you didn't come here for this?"

"Hehe, Brother Jiu knew me best in the past, but today, you really guessed wrong," Brother Ten immediately sat down in front of Brother Jiu, took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, and handed it to Jiu In front of my elder brother, "Look, this is our fourth brother, the biggest joke!"

Grace Garden

Eighth Prince and Orondai strolled by the waterside, holding a stack of manuscripts in their hands, but the corners of their mouths slightly raised, "Master Wang Hongxu still has the foresight. Once the manuscripts of the history of the Ming Dynasty are submitted, the official's reinstatement will be just around the corner. Back then Because of the matter of protecting the performance of the officials, Lord Wang was dismissed from his post because of the incident, I really feel bad."

"Master Baylor cares about his subordinates, it's really a blessing for the ministers," Orondai put his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face, "In fact, Mr. Wang made preparations earlier, and after he resigned, he secretly took away the remaining drafts of Ming history. After several years of filling and polishing, the complete volume of Ming History has already been completed. The reason why I chose to present it at this time is also to help Lord Baylor to destroy some people's limelight."

The eighth elder brother smiled slightly, and gently smoothed the manuscript in his hand, "Mr. Wang is worrying about Yinhu, and the limelight given by Huang Ama is not something we can destroy if we want to. However, Mr. Wang still chooses After a good time, I heard that Mengyangzhai has submitted the newly compiled calendar and arithmetic to Huang Ama."

"Oh?" Elundai raised his eyebrows, his expression changed slightly, "Master Belle didn't mention it, but I really neglected Prince Cheng. Ever since he took over the presidency of the Mengyangzhai Mathematical Academy, he has been obsessed with writing new novels for the past few years. In the calendar, I thought he had given up the power struggle in the court."

"Third Brother is a man," Eighth Brother exhaled slowly, "He is not as successful as Fourth Brother, nor as powerful as Big Brother or Second Brother. He is an idler who is willing to play with words and ink. This person is a real master who will not die until the Yellow River. He presides over Mengyang Zhai and gathers a large number of scholars and scholars around him. And this new almanac calculation is their culmination of many years, as long as it passes the eyes of Huang Ama, it may be a great achievement in the future."

"So that's the case," Elundai bowed his head, "It's because of the negligence of the ministers, but don't worry, Lord Belle, we have the history of the Ming Dynasty in our hands, and we will not be inferior in front of Prince Cheng. Prince Yong and Fourteen I'm still a little bit worried about my Lord, because Lord Long Live came to the Old Summer Palace today, and he was also accompanied by Lord Fourteen. These two brothers have now become popular in the eyes of the emperor."

"Fourth brother and old fourteenth..." Eighth elder brother chuckled, and led Orondai into the gazebo to sit down, "A few days ago, Huang Ama suddenly strengthened the defense of Changchun Garden, and Long Kedo was in trouble again. After going out and about for a long time, the people we put in have also lost a little bit. It is estimated that Huang Ama's suspicion has fallen again, and the old fourteenth entered the Changchun Garden at that time. It seems that Huang Ama really trusts him As for the fourth brother, it's hard to say with Huang Ama. However, the only thing I can be sure of now is that he and the old fourteen will not be able to tie a rope for a while."

Eunuch Feng Jinchao came over with hot tea and refreshments, filled the tea for the two of them, and retreated to the gazebo to wait quietly.

"Master Baylor has a plan in his mind, so I can rest assured," Erlundai picked up the tea bowl and scraped off the tea powder, "this time is different from the past, whether it is Prince Cheng, Prince Yong or the Fourteenth Lord, it is far from the same. The background strength of the former prince and elder brother. As long as they don't know how to join forces, Lord Baylor can be said to be the winner among the princes."

"Hey, I can't afford to say that," Eighth Brother said with a wry smile, and his tone was quite helpless, "Huang Ama has always disliked me, and Brother Tong knows it too. If we really wait until that day——"

"If we really wait until that day," Elundai accepted the words of the eighth elder brother, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Long live Lord is in poor health, so it may not be possible to establish a new master. For the sake of my Qing Dynasty's thousands of miles, the ministers will naturally choose Embrace the virtuous."

The eighth elder brother's eyes darkened, and he only smiled slightly at Erundai's words, lowered his head, picked up the tea bowl, blew on it, and drank it slowly.

Caixia Garden

The mutton on the table was already cold, but brother Jiu still hadn't taken his eyes off those few sheets.

Elder Brother Ten waited and waited, finally knocked on the table impatiently, leaned his head over and said to Elder Brother Nine, "What else do you have to doubt? How did you say it at the beginning? You can't find out what's going on. Make him one too. Now, we have a ready-made tell, and you don't care if it's real or not?"

Brother Jiu clicked his tongue, raised his head and shook the two pieces of paper in his hand, with a complicated expression on his face, "It's just a list of concubines sleeping with me, it's hard to tell if it's true or not outside, even if we find someone to spread the word, How many people will believe it?"

"Ha, Brother Ninth is an amateur now." Elder Brother Ten leaned back in his chair with his chin raised, "In this huge Beijing city, there are so many mansions of the princes, how many women and servants who are bored in the house, and How many rascals who have nothing to do all day long? Tired of listening to dramas and watching juggling, isn't the most rare thing in daily life is the new things in the palace of these princes and relatives?" Brother Jiu raised one corner of his mouth when he heard this Elder Brother Ten took a sip of the wine glass, lowered his voice again, "The more salty, the more unbelievable, the more respectable and influential the person who speaks out , the more interested and thoughtful the listener will be. One person will pass on to one person, and 1000 people will pass on to 1000 people. In the end, it will become true even if it is not true.”

As soon as the tenth elder brother finished speaking, the ninth elder brother seemed to let out a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, let someone arrange it. There are many servants who have come and gone in and out of Prince Yong's mansion over the years. If what you said is true, this How could the servants below have no idea? Even if a prince doesn’t fall in love with concubines, there should always be two maids by his side who serve the bed. I haven’t been to the backyard for a few months. A eunuch living alone in the garden courtyard doesn't sound like a joke."

"That's not the reason." Elder Brother Shi sneered, and put the wine glass heavily on the table, "After hearing the reports from his subordinates, even I was a little suspicious. That Su Peisheng, even in the capital, can catch up with half of the masters in the capital." Noble, no matter how many ministers from above and below see him, they will have to pay for him. But fourth brother, after so many years of marriage, heirs are not prosperous."

Brother Jiu's expression changed, as if he suddenly thought of something, and after a long silence, he said, "It's good for the two of us to know what happened this time, and let's not know about myna."

"Why is this?" Elder Brother Ten couldn't accept it, and he wanted to take credit for this matter in front of Mynah.

"Mynah has always attached great importance to virtuous names. I'm afraid he won't agree with this kind of behavior of passing on private matters." Nine elder brothers lowered their heads and gently stroked the wine glass with one hand.

"Oh, that's true," Elder Brother Ten did not doubt that he was there, and as soon as the words fell, he cheered up, called the servants to serve the freshly roasted mutton, and raised a glass with Brother Ninth.

Evening, Yuanmingyuan

Lord Kangxi spent a day in the Old Summer Palace, and had a farm-style lunch at noon. The ingredients were all grown by the fourth elder brother in the vegetable garden. He was in a very good mood. When he was about to leave, he rewarded the fourth elder brother with twelve bags The cauliflower seeds were planted, and he was also told to send some to the imperial dining room when there was a harvest next time.

The fourth elder brother agreed, and together with Fujin sent Lord Kangxi outside the gate.Because the children are still young, they are afraid of bumping into the Long Live Lord, the fourth elder brother and Fujin only brought Hong Yun with them, and the others all saluted and sent them off from a distance outside the second gate.

The Old Summer Palace was very close to the Changchun Garden, and Lord Kangxi did not bring a guard of honor, but only sat in a red-covered and yellow-draped carriage, escorted by the Fourteenth Lord and two teams of guards.

The fourth elder brother stepped forward and tightened the reins of the horse. Master Kangxi stepped on the horse stool to get into the car, but stood where he was when he turned his head inadvertently.

Everyone's hearts tightened almost at the same time, the fourteenth elder brother had already put one hand on the handle of the knife, the fourth elder brother turned his head to follow the gaze of Lord Kangxi, and his heart fell to the ground instantly.

Behind the courtyard wall not far away, on a towering rockery, two furry heads popped out.
