Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 48 years

October [-], Old Summer Palace

The morning light is faint, and the Wutong courtyard is quiet.Zhang Bao pinched the time when the fourth elder brother woke up, poured hot water, and walked lightly into the outer room of the main hall.

In the bedroom, the fourth elder brother opened his eyes. Su Wei was still in a deep sleep, with his head resting on most of his chest, and his legs were at the end of the bed.

The fourth elder brother spent a long time, moved the sleeping Grandpa Su back to the pillow, put on a comfortable position, tucked the quilt in, kissed again on the lips, and finally got out of bed reluctantly.

In the courtyard, Zhang Qilin also got up quite early, and was ordering someone to order food for the prince, when he saw Nian coming from afar with a few maids.

"Slave greets Fang Fujin," Zhang Qilin greeted him outside the courtyard, leaning over to salute, "Si Fujin came here early this morning, because he wanted to—"

Nian turned sideways and put his hand on the food box carried by the maid, "I let the small kitchen cook the pigeon soup all night, thinking that the prince probably didn't have breakfast, so I brought it here specially. I don't know if the prince is up or not?" ..."

As he spoke, Nian wanted to pass Zhang Qilin and walk into the courtyard, but he didn't want Zhang Qilin to take two steps back and stop him right in front of Nian.

Nian's face changed slightly, but Zhang Qilin still bowed his head with a smile, and said in a flattering tone, "Ci Fujin is really thinking about the prince, no wonder the prince has always valued you the most. I don't know if the prince will get up now, let the servant report first, please Wait a moment, my lord."

Ling Xi, who was supporting Nian, looked around, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Elder-in-law, could it be possible for our little master to wait outside the courtyard gate? This morning, the frost and dew are heavy, and our little master's body is just right." -"

"Lingxi!" Nian interrupted the maid's words, and his unclear eyes flickered across Zhang Qilin's face, "Eunuch Zhang is also following the rules, so I'll just make a trip for you."

Zhang Qilin just laughed, after hearing Nian's words, he promised again and again, turned around and entered the courtyard gate.

It's not that he insisted on blocking Nian Shi from the courtyard, it's that he really didn't dare to let anyone in.

The house in Wutong Courtyard is spacious, with only a row of bamboo railings separating the bedroom from the outside.In summer, it is breezy, cool and comfortable, but it does not block the light.

He has been serving in the East Courtyard for so long, and every time he sees the beautiful scenery after spending the night, he can't help but blush and heartbeat.In case someone else caught a glimpse of this, that's fine!

The fourth elder brother in this room has finished changing his clothes, Zhang Qilin bowed his head and walked into the door, "Master, young master Nian brought pigeon soup, but the slave didn't dare to let him in, look at this breakfast——"

"Let's put it in the Qingyan Pavilion." The fourth prince bowed his head and looked at Chaozhu, "You take them there first, so they don't get frozen."

"Yes," Zhang Qilin bowed to promise, saluted and retreated.

Zhang Bao fastened the belt for the fourth elder brother, and said in a low voice, "Yesterday, Eunuch Su said that he would accompany you to the Changchun Garden today. Look, do you want me to call you?"

"No need, you and Zhang Qilin will follow, let him fall asleep," the fourth elder brother glanced into the bedroom, and led Zhang Bao out of the room.

The breakfast in the Qingyan Pavilion was also quite harmonious, and Nian never mentioned the matter of Hou being outside the Wutong courtyard from the beginning to the end.

After breakfast, the fourth elder brother specially asked someone to warm up the stove for Nian to hold, and the two of them walked to the lake with their servants.

As soon as he got to the shade of the willows, a person came out from the boat, it was Grandpa Su who was lying in bed in the morning.

The fourth elder brother frowned slightly, and looked at the man's frozen red ears, feeling uncomfortable.

Su Wei bowed to the two of them, Nian Shi slightly bowed his head, and followed the fourth elder brother to board the boat.

The boats on Houhu Lake were not big, most of them were Jiangnan Wupeng boats. Seeing that Su Peisheng was already waiting on the boat, Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin didn't get on the boat, only Ling Xi followed Nianshi.

The surface of the lake in autumn is still slightly cool, and there are curtains on both sides of the awning.Ling Xi sat under the canopy with Nian Shi, looked at the fourth elder brother who was standing on the bow with Su Peisheng from time to time, and gently shook Nian Shi's hand.

At the bow of the boat, Grandpa Su, who was inexplicably shot by the fourth elder brother's gaze, silently turned to the side. He just ate three warm baked potatoes, and now his stomach is a little bloated, and he wants to hiccup...

The awning boat sailed all the way to the middle of the lake, which was not far away, so everything went smoothly.But no one expected that there was a sudden scream in the originally quiet boat canopy.

Su Wei got close, and he lifted the curtain, Nian Shi and Ling Xi were both huddled in the corner, and a snake slowly swam down from the side of the boat facing them.

"Come out, little master!" The boatman at the other end also lifted the curtain, letting Nian Shi and Ling Xi retreat to the stern, and then turned around and brought the bamboo pole, ready to pick the snake out.

When Su Wei first saw such a long reptile, he also got goosebumps all over his body. Seeing the boatman come to pick up the snake, he quickly helped to pull up the bamboo curtains on both sides.

The bamboo pole was strung between the snake, before it was lifted up, the snake had already hissed its tongue and entangled several times on the pole.The snake-picking boatman was also inexperienced, and the bamboo pole sank suddenly, and he couldn't control the direction of his men, so he threw it towards Eunuch Su's face.

At the critical moment, the fourth elder brother pulled Su Wei past him, and the two stepped back a few steps, almost falling on the side of the boat.

The boat shook violently, and the boatman lost his aim, not to mention the snake and the bamboo pole.

Seeing the snake crawling along the roof to the stern again, Nian Shi and Ling Xi screamed.

The boatman wanted to beat the snake while controlling the boat spinning in the lake, so he was in a hurry.

Su Wei immediately got up, got through the canopy, and ran to the stern.The fourth elder brother picked up the bamboo pole floating in the water, and went to pick up the snake on the boat tent.

The small black-covered boat swayed from side to side on the lake, and the bottom of the flower pot that both Nianshi and Lingxi were wearing couldn't even stand up in shock.

These days, it's a minor matter for a respectable woman to fall into the water, but it's a big deal if she loses her manners.

The servant who rocked the boat would never dare to pull the young master at will. Fortunately, Su Wei moved quickly, and when the two women were about to fall off the boat, he hurriedly grabbed them.

The two people who had lost their center of gravity fell on Su Wei's arms at once. With the help of the boatman, the fourth elder brother finally provoked the cunning long worm and slammed it towards the far lake.

There was another shock on the boat, Su Wei gritted his silver teeth on the cheek, and threw Nian Shi and Ling Xi onto the boat with a strong force, but he tilted his center of gravity and fell into the lake.

"Ouch, Eunuch Su!"

The boatman was surprised, but then again.

Nian Shi and Ling Xi fell to the bottom of the boat, before they even had time to raise their heads, they heard another "plop" from the stern of the boat.

"My lord!"

It is also said that Grandpa Su, who fell into the lake, was unable to swim for a while because his arms were exerted so hard. He was about to change his comfortable position and float for a while, when he heard the boatman and Nian yelling. .

It didn't matter the shouting, the guards who were patrolling the lake, Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin who had just discovered that something was wrong on the boat all jumped into the lake one after another.

Su Wei turned his head and saw that his fourth master was struggling to swim towards him. Because the court clothes were too heavy and his posture was not very standard, he couldn't swim too fast for a while.

Is this okay?Su Wei was dumbfounded.

In order to save a eunuch, a majestic prince jumped into the lake at the risk of his life.

This is going to be discovered by people, can he still survive?

At that moment, Eunuch Su didn't dare to be lazy anymore, he casually changed into a dog-planing posture, and quickly hopped towards his lord, yelling while thumping, "Come on, the lord has fallen into the water, come to save me!" Man!"

Perhaps Su Wei's shout was so powerful that the fourth elder brother who was in a hurry suddenly woke up and stopped moving immediately.Grandpa Su, who was accompanied by a string of splashes, pushed and lifted him onto the boat.

Being stirred up by the genius of Su Gonggong, even the boatman who jumped off the boat after him couldn't figure out whether the prince fell into the water by mistake or jumped off by himself.

Only Nian Shi, with a restless heart, while putting on clothes and holding the stove for the prince, followed the gaze that the prince cast from time to time, and glanced at Su Peisheng, his eyes were full of complicated things. mood.

Changchun Garden

Due to the severe drought in Gansu, Emperor Kangxi decreed that the relief of the hungry people is more important than the suppression of Tsewang Alabutan. All the granaries in the counties and counties of Gansu will be opened for distribution until next year's wheat autumn. stop.

The military rations needed for the border crossings were transported by Ehai, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, to transport rice and wheat from the warehouse in the province to Chuoqi, the governor of Gansu, and then sent to Hami by Chuoqi.

After the imperial court, Lord Kangxi left a few trusted ministers in the side hall to discuss matters. Someone from the Old Summer Palace came to report, Wei Zhu got the news, and whispered a few words in Lord Kangxi's ear.

Lord Kangxi sat behind the dragon case without saying a word for a long time. After several ministers in the room started to look at me and you, Lord Kangxi seemed to be relieved. He took a sip of tea and said, "Yinzhen, child , don't look at the usual serious look, in fact, there is always something to worry about. Ever since I left Gongjian Mansion, I have never stopped suffering from major illnesses and minor disasters..."

Ever since the crown prince was abolished, the ministers seldom saw Long live talking about a certain elder brother, so they all listened attentively.

Master Kangxi sighed and continued, "Tell me, how much water is there in a place as big as the Old Summer Palace? This morning, it was bitten by snakes and fell into the lake again. I was terrified when I heard it."

Seeing this, Wei Zhu accompanied him and said cautiously, "Don't worry, my lord, the lord is fine. It's just a water snake that ran aboard the boat. He must have been frightened. The imperial doctor has already been announced at the Old Summer Palace."

"Send a few more imperial doctors over there," Lord Kangxi said with a look of ecstasy on his face, "It's been cold these few days, don't turn around and catch the wind and cold again."

"Yes, yes, yes," Wei Zhu agreed, bowing her head and retreating.

The few ministers in the house, watching their noses and noses, and their hearts, were secretly making small calculations in their hearts.

Old Summer Palace

Because of Ding Qi's absence, the fourth elder brother didn't dare to ask other imperial doctors to check Su Wei's pulse, so he could only deal with it by himself, while asking the doctor hired by Zhuangzi to see Su Wei.

The imperial doctor prescribed a bunch of tonics for the fourth elder brother to dispel the cold and nourish the qi. The fourth elder brother made two pictures, and then hurried to Wutong courtyard to see Su Wei's condition.

The doctor who came from Zhuangzi was a practical person, and the result of seeing Grandpa Su was that he had some accumulated food.After making the prescription that was too difficult to digest, he left. Grandpa Su didn't let it boil, and threw the prescription into the brazier with extreme disgust.

"I'll drink a bowl of medicine to dispel the cold with my master for a while." The fourth elder brother sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched Su Wei's forehead, "You have been soaking in that water for a long time, and my father felt a little hot when I touched you. "

"It's your hands that are too cold." Su Wei grabbed Si elder brother's hands and moved to the middle of the bed under the quilt. "You also come up to cover it for a while, and it will be warm in a while."

The fourth elder brother touched Su Wei's face again, and finally took off his boots, and lay down on the bed with Su Wei.

"I asked Zhang Bao and the others to catch snakes in the water," Su Wei said, turning sideways. "The boatman said it was a water snake. It was not poisonous and not aggressive. I don't think it was man-made. They all have to be caught in the net, maybe not just that one."

The fourth elder brother grabbed Su Wei's hand under the quilt and squeezed it lightly, "The image of the moment you fell into the lake has been flashing through my mind, and it seems that a piece of my heart has been emptied. Can't get up..."

Su Wei stood up and looked at the fourth elder brother on his stomach for a while, then suddenly rushed over and hugged the fourth elder brother, "Is it repaired now?"

The fourth elder brother's heart warmed up, and after a long while, he smiled softly, "Hold me for a while!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Qilin was waiting at the door with a medicine bowl in his hand, while thinking about how to open his mouth to deliver the medicine, while applauding himself secretly in his heart, he just said, can this door be entered casually!

October 23, Old Summer Palace

Su Wei received a letter from Wang Zhi and Nanjiangyuan. The letter was secretly sent to Nanjiangyuan by the shopkeeper of Pingan Noodle Restaurant, that is, Xiuxiang's brother, under the cover of buying pickles.

Nanjiangyuan has always wanted to hand over the letter to Su Wei, but it is a pity that Su Wei and a group of old eunuchs have not returned since they left the palace.People in Nanjiangyuan were not familiar with the new gang of young eunuchs in the palace, so the letter was kept in the hands of the shopkeeper.

This time, it was Su Wei who sent Kukui back to Beijing to collect the bill, and then it was transferred to Su Wei.

Xiuxiang's elder brother is not very literate, and the letter is also scribbled. The general meaning is that Xiuxiang followed side Fujin out of Beijing, and there was no news for a long time. Celebrating the birthday, Brother Xiuxiang's birthday had already passed, so she felt very strange, and specially inspected the pile of embroidery in detail, and found that two of the handkerchiefs were a little strange.

Su Wei took out the two handkerchiefs and looked at them. On one handkerchief, a few broken peach blossom branches were embroidered, and the petals of the ground were sprinkled in the rubble.

This is the distress signal that Xiuxiang had agreed with Su Wei, and the broken branches on the ground represent that they are in danger.

On the other handkerchief, a gold hairpin was embroidered trapped in a dark room.

The golden hairpin should represent Jiayi. Could it be that Jiayi has been imprisoned?

Su Wei couldn't get an exact answer for a while, but Xiuxiang and the others did encounter difficulties for sure.

Jiayi's current status is very useful by Ba Ge's side, Su Wei doesn't want to give up, he must find a way to find out what happened in the backyard of Ba Ye's mansion as soon as possible.

end of october

Everyone returned to the capital with Lord Kangxi.

In Prince Yong's mansion, the eunuchs were clearly divided into two forces.The young look forward to Wanxiang, but the old still look forward to Su Gong and the stallion.

Only Dong Xiaoyuan knew that there was actually only one Su Peisheng in this palace from beginning to end.

first day of november

When Su Wei came out of Jisheng Hall, he ran into two familiar faces.

"Hey, isn't this Eunuch He and Eunuch Ren?" Su Wei raised his brows, and put his hands behind his back, looking like no one in his eyes.

Ren Cheng's face darkened, and before he could get angry, He Yuzhu pushed him over, "Hello, Mrs. Su, the two younger brothers heard that the Jisheng Hall under Mr. Su's operation is full of people, and we are here specially today." Keep your eyes open."

"It's easy to say, easy to say," Su Wei grinned, "It's a little better than that Tianhe shop, but it's still not full of customers."

The corners of He Yuzhu's eyes twitched, and he forced to maintain his demeanor, pointing to the restaurant road not far away, "I wonder if Eunuch Su can give you a favor, since we met today, let my younger brother treat you for a while?"

Su Wei looked at the restaurant, and his scrutinizing eyes slowly swept over He Yuzhu's face. After a while, he simply nodded and said, "Okay, since Eunuch He's kindness is hard to turn down, Su would rather be respectful than obedient."
