Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 48 years

On the first day of August, the Old Summer Palace

Long live God is about to leave, and almost no one noticed that two small figures were missing from the salute and send-off team inside the second gate.

"Master, why don't we go back," under the courtyard wall, the little bookman looked up at the rockery that was not too short, his chubby face was wrinkled, "This is about to be discovered, the prince and Fujin must You will be angry with the master. Did you forget what Gege told us when we came out? You can’t do these dangerous things all the time, what if you fall and fall? Besides, Xiao Shuzi is very afraid of pain. Grandmaster is not here now, and Master is very busy, in case he has to be punished—”

"Oh, why are you so wordy!" Hong Pan turned his head, raised his hand and patted his small chest, "Don't worry, I will do things by myself, and I won't let you take care of me no matter if I fall off or get caught. I was beaten. Besides, Ama may not punish me, I just want to see what Huang Mafa looks like. Today I invited Ann twice a day, and they were all so far away. Only Hongyun was led by Fujin I went to the front. I managed to meet Huang Mafa once, and I don’t know when the next time will be. I heard from the old eunuch in the mansion that Huang Mafa is a very remarkable and majestic person who can fight and arrest He killed many treacherous ministers, and he is the most heroic emperor in Qing Dynasty!"

The more Hong Pan talked, the more excited he became. Halfway through the conversation, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to climb up the rockery.

The little scholar pouted, although he was terrified to death, but seeing his master's excited appearance, he did not persuade him to the end.

Two small figures climbed up the rockery one after the other, the fatter one struggled to lift his short legs while carefully guarding the little elder brother above his head, his chubby face soon became clear. There was a layer of sweat.

On the rockery, as soon as the two of them appeared, they caught the attention of Lord Kangxi.

I saw a person in a bright yellow dragon robe standing not far away, looking straight at the rockery.Hongpan was as excited as a crab that was about to be cooked, and steam was billowing above his head, "Huang Mafa! Huang Mafa! Hongpan is here to see you off—"

Xiao Shuzi's eyes instantly widened to the size of the copper bell. Brother Hongpan was so excited that he couldn't control himself, ignoring the danger of being discovered, he waved his arms vigorously at Lord Kangxi.

"Master! Master! Be careful not to be seen!"

Xiao Shuzi stretched out his hand to stop him, but suddenly his feet slipped, he hurriedly hugged the stone in front of him, managed to stabilize his body, but saw that all the people below had already looked towards them.

The fourth elder brother looked a little embarrassed, but Master Kangxi smiled, and the smile reached his eyes.The accompanying people also relaxed, and the guards put away their swords that were about to be unsheathed, and returned to their positions to stand still.

Only Princess Yong, who had been holding Hongyun's hand all the time, suppressed the smile on her lips while nodding her brows.

"Please forgive me, Huang Ama." The fourth elder brother bowed to Lord Kangxi, "Hongpan is a naughty boy, and my ministers have neglected to discipline him on weekdays."

Lord Kangxi was not in a hurry to get into the car, but still stood on the horse stool, speaking with a gentle tone, "Hongpan, is that the child after Honghui?"

"Yes, Hongpan is doing two at home," the fourth elder brother bowed his head, although his heart was a little sore, but he didn't think too much about it.

On the other hand, Fujin, who was waiting respectfully at the side, held Hong Yun's hand imperceptibly tighter.Hongyun was in pain, raised his head to look at his mother-in-law, but finally didn't dare to speak.

"That is a blessed child. From what I saw just now, his body is stronger than ordinary children." Master Kangxi put his hands behind his back, as if chatting with the fourth elder brother, and then raised his head to look at the rockery. "Hurry up and pick them up personally." Come down, how about falling for a while?"

"Yes, I'm going now, slave," Fu Nai, the commander of the guards standing behind the crowd, hurriedly led the two of them and turned around to leave.

"Let Huang Ama worry about it," the fourth elder brother saluted, and stepped forward to lift the curtain of the car for Lord Kangxi.

Grandpa Kangxi bent down to get into the car, and when he was about to close the door, he said a few words, "Hongpan is here to see me off, and you are not allowed to punish him when you turn around. Just tell him that Huang Mafa said that he is not allowed to climb so high, too high." It's dangerous."

"Yes," the fourth elder brother's expression was dazed for a moment, but fortunately he quickly adjusted, "I thank Huang Ama for your concern on Hongpan's behalf."

Master Kangxi laughed, and waved at the fourth elder brother.

The car door was closed, and the fourteenth elder brother walked up to the fourth elder brother, and the two faces, who were more or less similar, faced each other.

The fourteenth elder brother smiled lightly, bowed his head slightly to the fourth elder brother, and could not detect any emotion in his tone of voice, "Fourth elder brother is good to rest, my younger brother escorted Huang Ama back."

"Be careful all the way," Brother Si patted the horse's back and took two steps back.

Brother Fourteen handed over the reins to the guard driving the carriage, got on the horse himself, waved his hand without looking sideways, and the team escorting the holy driver began to move forward slowly.

"My son respectfully sends Huang Ama off," the fourth elder brother bowed down again with a group of people behind him.

When Luanjia was far away, when the fourth elder brother raised his head, the back of the fourteenth elder brother sitting on the horse could no longer be seen clearly.

Inside the second door,

Hong Pan followed Fu Nai with his head down, and just after leaving a small forest, he saw Ama and Fujin coming towards him.

Mo Yaqi pursed her lips tightly, stood behind Fujin, and winked at Hongpan repeatedly.

Hongpan trotted for two steps with the little book, rushed to the crowd and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Ama, Hongpan came to admit his mistake, please punish me."

The fourth elder brother frowned, stopped in his tracks, and slowly scanned the two sweaty little faces with his scrutinizing eyes.

Li Ying stood by the side of the masters, glanced at the uneasy apprentice, and secretly groaned in his heart.

The corner of Wan Xiang's mouth curled up, and he tugged at his sleeve with one hand, his body straightened a lot.

Hongpan lowered his head vigorously, the excitement just now disappeared, and now he knew he was afraid, and his two little hands were tightly clenched on his knees.Xiao Shuzi was even more frightened, his jaw was trembling.

Hong Pan sensed Xiao Shuzi's fear, remembered his oath just now, braved up his courage, and turned his body slightly, trying to block everyone's attention for Xiao Shuzi.

The fourth elder brother saw Hongpan's small movements, raised his brows slightly, put his hand on his lips and coughed lightly, but his tone was much softer, "You recognize your mistakes diligently, but why don't you correct them after repeated admonitions? Did you forget about Hongyun climbing the rockery?"

"Son, I haven't forgotten." Hong Pan raised his head, his small face was a little anxious, "So this time, I didn't bring anyone with me, and I climbed up by myself."

Brother Hongpan, who completely misunderstood the point and is a little forgetful, is full of childlike innocence.

Yilha, who was standing beside Mo Yaqi, couldn't hold back for a moment when he heard this, and burst out laughing, completely oblivious to the fact that Fujin's face in front of him was getting colder and colder.

Seeing the second sister laughing at him, Hong Pan felt aggrieved, rubbing her small black hands on her knees again and again.

Mo Yaqi twisted the back of Ilha's hand to make her stop laughing, and took a peek at Fujin's face, after a little thought, she stepped forward and said, "Ama, Hongpan is still young, This climber is sweating all over, why don't you let him go back and change his clothes first, and you can teach him a good lesson later in the evening."

"Yeah," Ilha tried to hold back his smile, his face was still a little blushing, "This kid is greedy, so Ama fined him not to eat snacks for a month, and he will definitely not forget it later."

"Second sister-"

When he heard that he was not allowed to eat snacks, the little elder brother's eyes were red.

The little Shuzi who was kneeling at the side hastily tugged at the corner of Hongpan's clothes, swallowed secretly, as long as he doesn't get beaten, he can bear it for a month.

"Okay," the fourth elder brother glared at the aggrieved Hongpan, with a smile on his lips, "For the sake of your two sisters pleading for you, go back and reflect on yourself. Next time, climb to a higher place , be careful that Ama breaks your leg!"

"Yes, Hongpan doesn't dare anymore," the little elder brother's eyes lit up, and he kowtowed happily.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that Hongpan was about to get up and run back, Fujin's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Hongpan is young and mischievous, so it's reasonable for the prince not to pursue it. But this master sees the sky and the earth go up Crawling around, is it possible that all slaves are dead? This time, An Sheng came down, and Huang Ama didn't pursue it. If he falls next time and something happens, who will be responsible?"

"Then what does Yi Fujin mean?" The fourth elder brother folded his hands behind his back, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his face.

Li Ying was in a bad mood, so she saw Fujin pat Hong Yun's head, and said in a soft voice, "This concubine is the mistress of the palace, and Hong Pan and Hong Yun are the same in front of my concubine. I just saw him standing on the rockery , this concubine's heart is about to jump out of his mouth. The prince is usually busy with political affairs, so he has neglected the children to some extent, so he has to pay more attention. Now that Niu Gulu is not here, such a big matter , How can it be easily exposed by a single introspection? Otherwise, let alone whether Hongpan can remember it, how many of these servants below can remember it in their hearts?"

Xiao Shuzi's body shuddered, and his lips trembled, "I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong..."

"It's useless to just know you're wrong, you have to remember it." Shi Yao took a step forward and winked at the woman behind her.

"Don't touch the little book!"

As soon as the two women came forward, Hong Pan immediately froze on the spot, hugged Xiao Shuzi, and his tone was no longer as cute as before, "It's none of his business, he's going to stop me! I'm the one who is disobedient , If you want to punish me, punish me!"

"Hongpan!"

Mo Yaqi gave Hongpan a hard look, and motioned him not to intervene, so as not to make the matter worse.

But Hongpan didn't listen, his small body tightly guarded the little eunuch in his arms, his moist but menacing eyes made the two women hesitate to go forward.

Shi Yao waved her hands fiercely at the two women. Both women shrank their shoulders, but they still stood there hesitantly.

The fourth elder brother looked at the scene in front of him, but he didn't know what he thought of, and he didn't speak.

Li Ying was also in a hurry, no longer caring about the rules, walked up to the people and knelt down, "Please be kind to the prince, please be kind to the princess, they are all slaves who are not good at teaching, Xiao Shuzi is young, Brother Hongpan can't do without people, Let the slaves take the punishment on behalf of Xiao Shuzi."

"Eunuch Li is very face-saving." It was Shi Yao who spoke. Seeing that the prince had been silent, she thought that her concubine had the upper hand, so she didn't hesitate to speak up. "Who do you think you are? A manager of the Old Summer Palace. Is it on the head of the princess? The little book made the master mischievous, and let Brother Hongpan fall into such a dangerous environment. Such a big mistake, how can you come forward to bargain? I really don’t know if you have no rules Who did you learn your behavior from!"

"It's not the little scholar who pushed me! I'm going there myself! Stop talking nonsense in front of Fujin!" Hong Pan shouted at Shiyao, pulling his neck.

"Brother Hongpan," Shi Yao's complexion changed, and she turned to Hongpan, "This servant is for your own good, you see, in front of so many people, in order to protect an eunuch—"

"Shiyao!" Mo Yaqi gave a cold voice, interrupting Shiyao's next words, and the rest of her voice was suppressed into her throat, as if icy, "You don't have a place to talk here either!"

Shi Yao subconsciously looked at Fujin's face, but saw that Fujin's eyes looking at her were no longer gentle.

"Master," Shi Yao knelt down to the side of the road.

Fujin didn't even look at her, and said coldly, "Go to the woods and slap yourself, don't stop without me."

Shi Yao's body trembled, her eye circles turned red, she pursed her lips and kowtowed, and went into the forest by herself.

Even Shiyao was punished, and Li Ying was prepared in her heart, so she could only look at the fourth elder brother with her last hope.

"Slaves don't need to be taught by the master on behalf of the disciples," Xiao Shuzi's face was pale, his lips were red from being bitten, he carefully broke free from Hongpan's arm, and kowtowed to the prince and Fujin himself, "It is the slave who didn't persuade the master well. , the slave is willing to be punished."

"Little Shuzi..." Hong Pan's eyes were red again, seeing the little Shuzi crawling on the ground trembling, he simply turned around and scrambled to the feet of the fourth elder brother, "Ama, Ama, save Xiaoshuzi Shuzi! It’s all Hongpan’s fault, it’s Hongpan’s refusal to listen to him—”

The fourth elder brother raised his hand to hold Hongpan's face full of tears, and there was a trace of inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

The sound of Shi Yao's slapping mouth was already heard from the other side of the forest, and Fujin turned to look at the fourth elder brother.

"That's it,"

After a while, the fourth elder brother's mouth curved slightly, and he looked at Hongpan with loving eyes, "Your emperor Mafa said before leaving that you were going to send him off, and you are not allowed to punish you. But your emperor Mafa also told me Ama told you that you are not allowed to climb the rockery again in the future, it is too dangerous, you understand?"

"Got it, got it," Hong Pan rubbed his nose and nodded repeatedly.

"My lord?" Fujin frowned, it was just a casual remark from the emperor, could it really be regarded as an imperial decree?

"Little Shuzi is indeed wrong," the fourth elder brother pulled Hong Pan to stand up, "but he is a child after all, and if people know that Prince Yong's residence uses a child to set the rules, where will I put my face?"

"This—" Fujin still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the fourth elder brother.

"Besides, Xiao Shuzi can be considered as Hongpan's person. Huang Ama has already said something beforehand, and he is not allowed to punish Hongpan."

Fujin held back his breath, his face turned pale in an instant, the sound of Shi Yao's slap on the mouth has not stopped, but that slap seems to be hitting Fujin's face now.

The fourth elder brother took a look at Fujin, and sighed vaguely, "Xiaoyingzi!"

"The servant is here," Li Ying was still kneeling where he was, when he heard the fourth elder brother call him, he immediately responded.

"As the chief manager of the Old Summer Palace, the emperor Ama came here today, but he made such a big joke on me! I will go to En Chuo to receive forty boards and pay half a year as a fine!"

"Yes, the slave is being punished!" Li Ying bent down, not daring to look up, but heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Hongpan goes back to reflect on himself, Xiao Shuzi first writes down the board, and if he makes mistakes in the future, he will be punished for several crimes!"

"Yes, my servant, thank the lord for your kindness," the little scholar trembled for a long time, at this moment his body became weak and he had no strength to speak.

The fourth elder brother let out a long breath, ignored the others, and took Fu Nai and the others to Qingyang Pavilion.

Seeing that Ama had left, Mo Yaqi and Yi Erha hurriedly took Hong Pan and Hong Shi to leave Fujin.

The maid Shihuan helped Fujin to go to the residence. At this time, no one cared about Shi Yao who was still clapping her mouth. To protect the face of the master..."

Fujin didn't speak, and he didn't know when he let go of Hong Yun's hand.

Hong Yun stood there blankly, he wanted to follow the eldest sister and the others to see Hong Pan, but when he remembered his mother's pale face, he didn't turn around and followed her back to Fanglou.

into the night,

Su Wei sat cross-legged at the kang table, his subordinates clattering their calculations.A plate of mung bean cakes and jujube paste cakes are placed beside the teapot, and ice cubes are stacked on top of the freshly cut watermelon, which are placed in white carved porcelain bowls, driving away the heat of midsummer.

Except for the candlelight in the main room, the lights in other rooms were turned off early, leaving the palace, this group of old eunuchs lived a very comfortable life.

Because of this, when the fourth elder brother's carriage stopped at the gate of the Second Courtyard, even Fu Nai's face was not very good-looking.He has to send this group of people back to the palace as soon as possible, good brothers who share the blessings and share the difficulties.

The door of the room was pushed open with a creak, and Su Wei turned his head. When he saw the person who came in, he blurted out, "Why are you here again?"

The fourth elder brother's face was half ashen in an instant. When Grandpa Su saw that he was not good, he quickly changed his expression of Samo, dragged him to the couch flatteringly, squeezed his shoulders and beat his legs, and picked up the watermelon. Pick it up and carefully feed it into your mouth. This is how you can serve people comfortably.

The fourth elder brother leaned on the cushion and let out a sigh of relief.Su Wei pinched the calf for someone else, and seeing that his anger had almost subsided, he asked carefully, "Is everything going well today? Is the emperor satisfied?"

"Huang Ama is very happy, and I used a lot of lunch." The fourth elder brother closed his eyes lightly, "Huang Ama stayed the longest in the vegetable garden, and asked me to give it to the palace when I have a harvest next time." Go some."

"That's good. I'll say that the emperor shouldn't be disgusted." Su Wei glanced at the fourth elder brother again, "Is there anything else going on in the mansion? Why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

"I'm tired, I want to see you," Si elder brother put his hand on his forehead, his brows were slightly frowned, he looked really tired.

"Then you rest first." Su Wei didn't ask any more questions, and got off the couch and put on his shoes directly, "I'll go to the kitchen and get you a bowl of hot noodle soup. The pickles just delivered by Nanjiangyuan are delicious with the noodle."

The fourth elder brother opened his eyes slightly, and watched Su Wei leave the house in a hurry, the dark yard outside was immediately lit up, and for some reason, his depressed heart also became much brighter.

Su Wei was under the kitchen. Fu Nai heard the sound and came over and told him everything about the day.

The night was like water, the fourth elder brother finished his noodles, lay down on Su Wei's lap, and looked at the ceiling with empty eyes.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep first," Su Wei flipped through the ledger, "I still have one last sum, so let's go after the calculation."

"I'm not sleepy," the fourth elder brother stretched out his hand and pinched Su Wei's waist, and exhaled slowly, "Don't you ask me?"

"Fu Nai told me all about it," Su Wei rubbed his ink, "There's no need to get angry over a trivial matter. Brothers are still ignorant, and when you come back, you bring them all to the front yard to teach, and it will be fine slowly. "

"It's not that easy," Brother Si curled his lips slightly, feeling much more at ease in his heart.

"Don't worry, you can't do it, and I'm still there," Grand Eunuch Su got up again, drawing a big X on a group of loss-making transactions.

The fourth elder brother chuckled, closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time, when Su Wei thought he was going to fall asleep, he suddenly said quietly, "Tell me, when my master was young, he was not even as good as Hongpan."

Su Wei was taken aback, and lowered his head, but the fourth elder brother still didn't open his eyes, "I remembered the time you were beaten in Chengqian Palace today, why didn't I dare to jump over and hug you?"

Su Wei's face turned red, his head was full of pink bubbles, and he muttered for a long time, "It's been such a long time, why are you still talking about him," but saw the fourth elder brother frowning tightly, as if he really couldn't think about it. Then he chuckled and said, "How do you compare with Hongpan? Hongpan has an Ama who loves his son, an Erniang who misses him every day, two sisters who care about him, and two brothers who are like brothers. He has the confidence to resist and protect what he wants to protect. At that time, what do we have? A little care and inquiry is a blessing from God. At such a young age, you have to fight with people and heaven. , I almost lost my life if I was not careful. At that time, it seems that the only thing you and I can hold in our hands is each other."

Su Wei was a little moved by what he said. Seeing that the fourth elder brother didn't say a word, he planned to strike while the iron was hot, "So, there is a difference between having a family and not having a family. Of course, your family is a bit special. But, you are like ten Fourth master, that is your brother who has direct blood with you. From then on, he may be your reliance, your arm. You can't separate yourself from your brother just because of a small matter. As a brother, you should let it go Brother, don’t you think so?”

Su Wei lowered his head again when he was excited, but what met him was a handsome face sleeping soundly.

"Hey!"

"Hey, did you hear me?"

"Hey, get up, we haven't said that you beat my apprentice yet! Don't pretend to be asleep!"

The sleeping person had his nose pinched and turned over in dissatisfaction.After a while, his face was wet and itchy again, and he waved his hand casually, but did not wave it away.

Forget it, the mosquitoes in this season are just so annoying.
