Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 48 years

August [-]th, Qingxi Bookstore

"Huang Ama forgive me!"

The fourth elder brother pleaded for Wanxiang, and did not dare to look into Lord Kangxi's eyes anymore, so he could only lower his head slowly, "I know that Huang Ama has spent a lot of time on my behalf because of rumors from the outside world. But my son I don't want to bow my head just because of other people's words, just a few gossips, my son is going to kill someone to prove his innocence, and the prince over there is really too spineless."

The fourth elder brother's voice fell, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to change suddenly. Wei Zhu, who had been carrying him carefully, also let out a breath quietly.

Master Kangxi's expression didn't seem to change much, but he stopped staring at the fourth elder brother motionlessly, picked up the cotton cloth on the table, and slowly wiped his glasses, "I know you have always been arrogant, but you are the one who defends against the people." More than Fang Chuan, this kind of gossip does not seem elegant, but it is actually the most powerful weapon to hurt people."

"My son understands," the fourth elder brother relaxed slightly, but his tone remained firm, "However, my son believes that rumors stop with the wise. What's more, I don't think that killing a few eunuchs can stop these slanderous words Poor language. I'm afraid that when the time comes, my minister will end up with the title of 300 taels of silver here, but it's in the hands of some people."

Grandpa Kangxi paused when he wiped his glasses, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? What are you doubting?"

"Empty words are nothing, my son dare not doubt anything," the fourth elder brother pursed the corners of his lips, and his face seemed to turn pale, "Wan Xiang is just a slave, and death is not a pity. But killing him at this time, almost It is equivalent to accepting the stigma of narrowing the inner prison. I don't want to bear this stigma, so I boldly ask Huang Ama for mercy."

Master Kangxi put down the cotton cloth in his hand, and his slightly narrowed eyes slowly swept across the face of the fourth elder brother, making it impossible to tell whether he was examining or thinking about something.

The fourth elder brother remained calm, nodded his head and lowered his eyes, Master Kangxi looked at it for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Forget it, it's your own business, I believe you can take the royal reputation as the most important thing, and you won't really do— — Something to disappoint Huang Ama."

At the end of Lord Kangxi's words, the tone was deep, and the fourth elder brother hurriedly kowtowed, and the fingertips clenched in the fist pierced deeply into the palm of his hand, making his voice steady and steady, "Thank you, Huang Ama, for your understanding, my son, I will never dare to take responsibility." Grace."

August eighteenth, the farm

"Tell me, what's going on?"

In the small second courtyard, Su Wei stood in the middle of the room, with his hands crossed over his chest, and asked the fourth elder brother who had been lazy on the couch as soon as he entered the room with an upright face.

The fourth elder brother is also funny, propping his head in one hand, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, "Bayan just entered the palace at the beginning of the year, and he has a good ability to fly over the eaves and walls. I am really curious, how did our Grandpa Su find out, and even gave it to him with a stick?" Stabbed it down. The child was young and suffered a blow when he fell from the tree, and he is still depressed."

"Don't change the subject." Su Wei raised his eyebrows, picked up the stick standing aside and waved it in his hand, "For no reason, a group of people were sent to watch me, and they didn't leave the door, and squatted on the tree. It’s kind enough for me to stab me with a stick. Hurry up and tell me what’s going on, what’s going on? Don’t tell me if you’re under surveillance, and you won’t let me go out. Did you do something bad?”

"I did something bad?" Although it was Dagong Su who took the initiative, the fourth elder brother was completely behind in terms of momentum, "Who confronted Lao Jiu's subordinates as soon as he left the palace? Last time he was accused of going to Shun Did you forget about the affairs of Tianfu in a blink of an eye? The turmoil of the eunuch’s disaster has not yet passed, and the Lord spent a lot of effort to send you out of the palace. .Are you afraid that others will not know that your grandpa Su is still very powerful in Beijing? This must be noticed by some villains. Do you think they will not go to the respect room to file a complaint? When the time comes, respect the matter If Fang sends someone again, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of getting a few slaps from the Shen Xing Division."

The fourth elder brother's question was well-founded, and Grandpa Su, who was still imposing just now, suddenly felt guilty, "Wow, how can it be so serious? I went there under the name of Xiaoyingzi, He is a newcomer, not many people pay attention."

The fourth elder brother snorted through his nose, and Su Wei immediately threw the stick away, bowing his head as if admitting his mistake.

But obviously, the battle-tested Prince Yong didn't like this, "Since it's in the name of Xiaoyingzi, let Xiaoyingzi do it. Recently, the wind in Beijing is still tight, so you just stay in Zhuangzi honestly." You are not allowed to go anywhere!"

"Ah! Can we discuss it again?" The person on the ground climbed onto the couch and sat down next to the fourth elder brother's legs, "Yue Jinxiu just signed a big deal, tens of thousands of taels. Young, how can he deal with those old foxes. Besides, he has to be busy with the Old Summer Palace."

"It's not negotiable." The fourth elder brother squinted his eyes, showing a little tiredness on his face, but his tone still refused to refuse, "I will leave Bayan and the others to watch you. If you dare to cut first and play later, I will see how I punish you!"

"A tyrant, it's unreasonable..."

Su Wei muttered angrily twice, and when he turned back to look at the fourth elder brother, he suddenly felt distressed, "Is it because there are too many things going up? Is it because the house is not stable? Or, you should put Wang Qin first. Let them take them back, they are not as eye-catching as us, and with more old people in charge, Fujin and Namutu can be more considerate in managing things."

"Wait a little longer, now is not the time," the fourth elder brother closed his eyes, grabbed Su Wei's hand, and counted the past with one finger, "I only realized these days that you have been with me for so many years. Not only is the Lord in love with you, but everyone in the mansion also relies on you and the people you bring. You are like the Dinghai Shenzhen in our palace. When you stand there properly, everyone performs their duties. Once the position is moved, all the demons and monsters below will be separated. Not to mention, Namutu is the long history of our palace, and he has an official position. This time, give him some time to practice, otherwise, the position of this long history, the master will have to think about it."

"It can't all be blamed on Namutu." Eunuch Su, who was praised, was still a little complacent, "When you first built the mansion, you were afraid of provoking the jealousy of the Long Live Lord, so you chose slaves who did not avoid relatives. Although in the past few years, after several Even if Namutu is a long history, he has to take care of the face of each young master and the power of each family, so it is inevitable that he cannot let go. In my opinion, we still have to Let Fujin stand up, her status is just right. You don't always shy away from this and that, but I heard from Xiao Yingzi that you have left many matters in the house to Da Gege. This Da Gege is still a child after all, you Using a child to put Fujin there, what do people think?"

"I think Mo Yaqi is safer in doing things than Fujin," the fourth elder brother said in a leisurely voice, without opening his eyes, "I didn't deliberately push Fujin away, but I was afraid that giving her power would make her more stubborn , Hongyun is still underage, so I am always worried..."

At night, Caixia Garden

The eunuch Feng Jinchao said that he entered the small courtyard of Jin Jiayi at night, and the maid Xiuxiang closed the doors and windows tightly, and left a trusted servant outside to guard, so she took Feng Jinchao into the inner hall with confidence.

"What you said is true?" Jiayi pressed one hand on the dressing table, her face was filled with unconcealable joy, while Xiuxiang stood aside, her face turned pale and pale.

"It's absolutely true," Feng Jinchao bent over, his voice low and low, "because of the young master's promotion, this servant has been very embarrassing in front of Lord Baylor recently. That Rongping was punished by the Department of Shen Xing, and Lord Baylor did not." Why did you ask him to serve you? Recently, the slaves followed Lord Belle to Changchun Garden to discuss matters outside the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Events, and listened to other elder brother's eunuchs. So Su Peisheng was not only punished by Prince Yong, but also thrown to Zhuangzi Come on. Right now, the most embarrassing person in front of Prince Yong is a father-in-law named Wan Xiang. Recently, there are rumors that that man named Wan Xiang is having an affair with Prince Yong."

"It's really God's eyes," Jiayi took a deep breath and let it out again.

Feng Jinchao was a little surprised, and asked curiously, "Does the young master have any festivals with that Eunuch Su? Oh, yes, I heard people say that the young master once stayed in Prince Yong's mansion."

Jiayi's expression turned cold instantly, Feng Jinchao knew he had slipped his words, and hurriedly lowered his head.Xiu Xiang waved at him, and Feng Jinchao hurriedly bowed and left.

"Xiuxiang, look, God still takes care of me." When there were only two masters and servants left in the room, Jiayi turned around and grabbed Xiuxiang's hand, "Without that Su Peisheng, Prince Yong is too busy to take care of himself. I am worried and afraid every day. Now Fujin is useless, and Lord Baylor only loves me. As long as I hold Hongwang in my hands in the future, this huge Eighth Master's Mansion will be mine sooner or later."

"My lord," Xiuxiang braced herself and reminded Jiayi, "We still have to be more careful, Lord Belle's body is not recovering well now. I don't know how many people are in Prince Yong's mansion for what we did back then." People know. Even at Fujin's place, I guess they won't let it go..."

Xiuxiang's words woke up Jiayi. It seemed that the mountains and rivers were full of doubts and there was no way out.Lord Belle's illness is Jiayi's soul urging talisman, and it may kill her anytime, anywhere.

"How on earth should I get out of this predicament..." Jiayi walked to the window, looking at the dark night outside the window, falling into endless melancholy.

August [-]

The two carriages drove out of the Changchun Garden one after the other, and it was rare for Mrs. Li and Mrs. Nian to sit in one carriage.

Both of them were wearing Fujin's crown clothes, and their hearts were also up and down with the bumps of the carriage.

Nian Shi was calmer than Li Shi, and Li Shi was really flustered in his heart. After looking at Nian Shi several times, he couldn't help but said first, "Tell me, is it because of Wanxiang that the Empress Defei called us to see you?" What kind of thing? If it's really for that kind of thing, it's enough to call Fujin alone, and what are we doing?"

"My lady's thoughts, how do I know?" Nian didn't want to talk to Li, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with Concubine De in his heart.Even the emperor didn't pursue it, so what is it that she summoned with such great fanfare?

"It's all nonsense anyway, Fujin should know it in his heart, let's just follow her."

"That's natural," Li Shi pinched the handkerchief in his hand and fanned it, and finally complained, "My lord, it's true, why do you still keep that Wanxiang now? Left, it was also certified by Long Live Lord Cleared up, why not deal with people quietly later? Now that the rumors are spreading more and more widely, it will not be so easy to shut up when the people below open their mouths. That Wanxiang lives a day , I don’t know how the rumors outside will spread. According to me, the prince really doesn’t have to suffer so much grievance just to win that breath.”

"My sister is right, but the lord may still have his own plans," Nian lowered his head, silently suppressing the frustration in his eyes.

She had to admit that Li Shi's words were actually on her mind.She didn't believe that the lord would really make such a thankless decision because of fighting for his breath. The reason why he insisted not to kill Wan Xiang was actually because of that person.

As long as Wan Xiang is alive, it is like erecting a shield for that person, and the longer he lives, the stronger this shield will be.It can make that person live a more wanton and safer life, even if the arrows shot at this shield are actually the same as shooting at the prince himself.

Wenfeng Pavilion

Su Wei also left the farm early in the morning, and when he arrived at Wenfeng Pavilion, it was already lunch time.

Ku Kui opened the car door for Su Wei, frowning.

Su Wei glanced at him, clicked his tongue twice, and said, "Why are you frowning? This rich man invited you to listen to the song today. The new theater troupe in Beijing can't be heard by others."

"I can't bear it," Ku Kui said in a muffled voice, "You promised the prince to stay in the village well the day before yesterday, but you sneaked out in a blink of an eye. Bayan and the others are also pitiful. They have taken so many laxatives and don't know what to do. time to slow down."

"Oh, don't worry." Su Wei patted Ku Kui on the shoulder and led him to Wenfeng Pavilion. "When the deal is negotiated, I will definitely compensate them and you too."

"I don't need to make compensation, just take a few less boards..." Ku Kui muttered twice, and followed Su Wei resignedly, and entered Wenfeng Pavilion.

Today is the day when Su Wei and Rui Shengxiang's boss officially met. The shopkeeper Fu who came on behalf of the boss last time came one step ahead, and saw Su Wei's carriage hurriedly greeted him, "Master Su came early, our boss first Went to the shop, will be there in a while."

"No hurry, no hurry." Su Wei waved his hand with a smile, and followed Fu Jin into the box on the second floor, "I also heard that there is a new troupe in Beijing, so I came here early to open my eyes."

"Su Caidong is also an elegant scholar," Fu Jin replied with a smile, "The head of this theater troupe is an old friend of our master, and this time our master specially asked his old friend to hold a performance in Wenfeng Pavilion to make up for it. It's my fault for missing an appointment with Su Caidong last time."

Fu Jin's words are puns, not only mentioning the fact that Rui Shengxiang and Xu Caidong missed the purchase last time and did not show up, but also mentioned that Fu Jin and Yang Taixian had set a price together in private.

Su Wei didn't want to entangle with shopkeeper Fu, so he cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Xu Caidong is too polite, Su will feast his eyes today."

Fu Jin was very grateful for Su Wei's generosity, and hurriedly asked Xiaoer to serve tea and snacks.On the other end, Xu Caidong has not yet arrived, and the theater troupe is still preparing.On the stage in the lobby of Wenfeng Pavilion, a young storyteller was telling new and strange things about the capital.

Su Wei listened happily while eating snacks.

The storyteller spoke for a while, picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and beat the small drum in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes became lively, "Today I'm going to bring you a fresh one, please listen to it." , What is it that the young gentleman in the Yin'an Palace is ecstasy and thin, and the idiotic king in the Jinluan ranks is angry for you!"
