Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 48 years

On the first day of November, Yingbin Restaurant

A group of three entered the restaurant, and He Yuzhu asked someone to open the best box, and ordered a table of 12 taels. The wine was all freshly dug 70-year-old wine. The two catties of sauced beef at the bottom of the pressure pot came back, it can be said that everything was thoughtful, and it gave Grandpa Su enough face.

Seeing this situation, Su Wei had to let go of his airs a little bit, took the wine poured by He Yuzhu, and raised his glass to drink with the two of them.

Both He Yuzhu and Ren Cheng drank it all in one gulp, Su Wei rolled his eyes, but still only touched his lips.

As soon as the wine glass was put down, Ren Cheng's face darkened again, but He Yuzhu didn't care about it. While announcing the dishes to Grand Duke Su, he said with an apologetic smile, "Today's banquet is a bit rushed, and I will prepare it carefully in the future. Fan, treat Eunuch Su to a good banquet again, and then invite a few more brothers to accompany you, and I hope Eunuch Su will not hesitate to reward you."

"Eunuch He is too polite, how can I always make you spend money?" Su Wei enjoyed the sauced beef, thinking that he would buy some for the fourth elder brother to take home after a while, "Brothers want to get together, although If you go to Xilaishun, we will be the host."

"Oh, I've been greedy for Xilaishun's mutton soup pot for a long time." He Yuzhu looked overjoyed, making Ren Cheng curl his lips when he saw it, "However, it's my sincerity to invite Mrs. If Eunuch Su wants to hold a banquet, that's another matter. We who attend the master, we don't see each other every day, so we should have more exchanges."

Su Wei raised his brows, rubbed his hands on the wine glass lightly, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth, "Eunuch He is right, they are all slaves, so come and go more often, so there will be someone to take care of you in the future."

"Isn't it?" He Yuzhu turned to Ren Cheng with an expression of being touched in his heart, "Let's talk about the movement in the respect room this time, how many people were involved. This saying is good, A companion is like a tiger. A slave, who doesn’t put his head on the waistband of his trousers? Like you and me, who managed to get in front of the master. If you don’t learn from Su Gonggong carefully, you may walk up to it someday. The old road of the predecessors!"

Ren Cheng was fooled by He Yuzhu for a moment, but Su Wei just laughed, "Eunuch He thinks too highly of Su, our family just has been with the master for a long time and relies on the master's magnanimity."

"Hey, everyone in and outside the palace doesn't know the name of Eunuch Su." He Yuzhu raised his thumb and raised his eyebrows and said, "It's Eunuch Liang and Eunuch Gu who are beside Long Live Lord. They were also full of praise when they came there. As for the eunuchs of our younger generation, since they entered the palace, which one didn't grow up listening to your legend?"

"That's, that's," Ren Cheng, who was sitting on the side, was patted by He Yuzhu, and he followed suit, "When I was with Master, I always heard him talk about Eunuch Su. Eunuch Su not only You are good at serving your master, you are brave enough to fight the enemy's secret service in the frontier, and you were personally ordered to be promoted by the Lord Long Live, this is an honor that no father-in-law in the palace has ever had, and all the younger brothers admire you from the bottom of their hearts."

"It's not just the Lord Long Live who made the decree himself." He Yuzhu continued to recall the past for Grandpa Su while pouring wine for the two of them, "Back then, the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother were both suffering from malaria in the elder brother's institute. If there was no Eunuch Su... ..."

At the end of the meal, the three people in the box were already hugging into a ball.

Eunuch Su blushed, with his tongue out, put one hand on He Yuzhu's shoulder, and pointed to himself with the other, "I, Su Peisheng, started from scratch! Follow, that's the one, our master, who struggled all the way, narrowly escaped death." Is it easy? You say, is it easy for me?"

"Ouch, Grandpa Su," He Yuzhu held Su Wei's hand, his eyes filled with tears, "It's not easy for you, nor for us! But, to be honest, my brother loves you... We don't care about the relationship between master and master, To be honest, I love you, little brother!"

"Hey, don't say these things are useless," Ren Cheng, who was also tongue-in-cheek, waved away the hands that the two held together, and raised his head to point to the sky. !"

As soon as Ren Cheng's words fell, He Yuzhu, who was half lying on the table, froze for a moment, but when he raised his head again, he met Su Peisheng's drunken face, and the two of them giggled again.

Su Wei waved his hand at Ren Cheng, and clicked his tongue twice, "It's just a clown, who cares about him... Who is our family? Our family is Su Peisheng! When I put on this suit, that one , that Wanxiang! He's still breastfeeding!"

"Well, don't mention him, don't mention him!" He Yuzhu grabbed the jug and poured wine for the two of them again, "It's a disappointment to mention such a person! Come on, let's continue drinking, come on, Eunuch Su..."

After drinking for three rounds, the three people in the private room couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north. When they were helped into the carriage by the attendants, they still held each other's hand. They bid farewell for a long time, and made an appointment to get together again before leaving.

Ku Kui, who had been waiting in the carriage, was slightly relieved to see the intact Grandpa Su, and hurriedly brewed strong tea to soothe Su Wei.

When Su Wei got into the carriage, his eyes became clear again. He took the tea bowl and took a big gulp, then heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Eunuch Su," Ku Kui wiped Su Wei's face again with a wet cloth, his expression full of doubts, "What the hell is He Yuzhu and Ren Cheng up to? Why did you come to drink with you suddenly? If it wasn't for Ji Sheng just now Shopkeeper Du of the hall pulled me, and I rushed in with people."

"Well, it's a good thing you didn't bring anyone to rush in." Su Wei hiccupped and leaned back on the cushion, "These two are here to make friends with me. I guess it's the master behind them who wants to Win me over."

"Win you?!" Ku Kui couldn't believe it when he saw the idiot expression on his face.

"Of course it's me," Su Wei raised his hand and patted Ku Kui on the shoulder, "You have to know, in the eyes of outsiders, I'm an old eunuch who was rejected by my master and even kicked out of the palace. As the saying goes, a new generation To replace the old man, we originally wanted to cultivate Wanxiang and distract others' attention, but now this encounter is also considered a pleasant surprise."

"But," Kukui always felt something was wrong, "Is there any danger in this matter, in case people find out that you are pretending to surrender—"

"Hey, no matter how many there are, how can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den?" Su Wei squeezed his eyes hard, with a tired expression on his face, "Anyway, this is an opportunity that comes to your door, so let's do whatever we can and go along with it."

"Oh," Ku Kui saw that Su Wei couldn't hold on anymore, so he didn't ask any more questions, and said for him, "Go to sleep for a while, and I'll call you when I get to the gate of the house."

"Hmm... wait a minute," Eunuch Su suddenly remembered something again, but his mind was in a mess. He opened the car window and blew the cold wind for a long time, just in time to see a rouge peddler squatting on the side of the road eating, Pointing casually, "I remembered, there is a shop near the street that sells delicious rouge, let's go buy two catties for the master to taste. By the way, tell the buddy, you need to press the bottom of the pot!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ku Kui's reaction, Eunuch Su, who was pinching the orchid and fingering a sideburn, leaned his head back and fell asleep.

In the evening, Prince Yong's Mansion

When Su Wei woke up again, he was covered with a blanket and lay on the side of the soft couch. The fourth elder brother was sitting beside him, writing something on the kang table with his head bowed.

When the people in the couch moved slightly, the fourth elder brother stopped writing, turned his head, saw Su Wei opened his eyes, raised his hand to touch his forehead and said, "Wake up, do you have a headache?"

Su Wei sat up slowly with a muscle in his nose. Although his mind was still dull, his body was very comfortable. Obviously, someone had wiped his body and changed his clothes. "It doesn't hurt much, but it's a little heavy."

"Eat something, go to bed and sleep," the fourth elder brother pulled the blanket and wrapped Su Wei tightly, "I drank so much wine, I was unconscious when I came back, don't do this again next time, there is no one around, What if something goes wrong?!"

"Nothing will happen," Su Wei muttered, intending to change the subject, so he stretched his neck and looked at the Kang table, "What did you write? Is there any news at the border today?"

"Ehai came back with a memorial," the fourth elder brother snorted coldly, "it is said that the rice and wheat stored in Gansu and the rice and stone available for purchase are enough for disaster relief and distribution to soldiers. You Zhuanglang, Xining, and Gongchang There are more than [-] shi of old stored corn, and [-] shi of this rice will be transported to Ganzhou, and then together with the wheat stored in Gansu, they will be transported to the front of the army one after another. Far too much, please stop ①. Huang Ama has already agreed, and now the turnaround is on the way."

"Then," Su Wei frowned, crossed his legs and moved closer to the fourth elder brother, "Is there enough grain in Gansu?"

"It is indeed enough to see the records submitted by the localities," the fourth elder brother spread out a booklet for Su Wei to read, "However, it is not a year or two that the local government treasuries have been short-lived. Gansu has experienced severe droughts in recent years. How much can the harvest be. I estimate that many granaries are just fake goods, and they must be picked up from the common people in the end."

"It's already a severe drought, how many people will die if we pick it up again?" Su Wei frowned, "That Ehai is the worst thing. It's clear to deal with Mr. Fu. The grain storage in Sichuan and Shaanxi is better than that in Gansu, so push it three times and four times. Yes, he just wants to take the opportunity to get a piece of the action!"

The fourth elder brother sighed softly, picked up the pen and dipped in the ink again, "Funing'an went to the border to coordinate the food and pay of the soldiers. I should have been prepared for this situation. I will write a letter to Nian Gengyao first." To raise a batch of grain and grass, if there is a need at the border, it will be directly transferred from Sichuan. Gansu's grain storage must still be given priority to disaster relief. I will not accept the order of the foreign emperor. If Huang Ama pursues it, Funing'an can take responsibility. The emperor Ama also knows in her heart that she won't embarrass him."

Su Wei nodded in agreement, and watched the fourth elder brother write the letter, but the fourth elder brother never forgot the topic that was distracted by others, and glanced at Su Dagong who was pretending to be well-behaved, "I heard what Kukui said, old nine, old ten You are not allowed to contact the two father-in-laws next to you in the future. It was Lao Jiu who planned to win you over, Lao Ba is not confused, this matter is too dangerous, you can stop here."

"Then I didn't drink so much wine for nothing!" Su Wei stared, stretched out his hand and pulled the sleeve of the fourth elder brother, "I will play by ear, I am not stupid, and I won't go too deep into it. Besides, that He Yuzhu I can hold my breath very well, and I have been playing sloppy with me all day today. I am still not sure what their plans are. If you let me get in touch again, at least figure out their purpose before making a decision."

The fourth elder brother looked at the hand on the sleeve, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "I guess no matter how much my lord opposes what Grand Duke Su has decided, it won't help."

"Then how can it be?" Eunuch Su grinned, pulled the blanket and leaned comfortably on the fourth elder brother, "Everyone inside and outside the palace knows that I have always been the most obedient..."

The next day,

Early in the morning, Xiao Erge sent news to Su Wei outside the East Courtyard.

"Our people guarded outside the eighth master's mansion for four or five days, and finally caught the shadow of that surnamed Feng. According to the information you provided, that surnamed Feng really set up a yard outside, big and small! "

"Have you found out the address?" Su Wei lowered his head and rolled up his cuffs.

"It's been found out," Xiao Erge leaned close to Su Wei's ear, "In the Dashilan area, don't look at the crowd, but they are all doing shady things, so they don't arouse suspicion."

"Okay, look at the person, and next time Feng Jinchao goes out, let's catch a job!"

"Okay," Xiao Erge responded swiftly, turned and left.

Zhang Qilin leaned forward and said worriedly, "Is this matter reliable? In the final analysis, that side Fujin from Baye's Mansion still has a grudge against us."

"I'm not afraid that she has a grudge, everyone is just taking advantage of each other," Su Wei looked at the Baye's Mansion, which is only a wall away, "Jiayi's role in the Baye's Mansion is not small, and she must not give up easily. That Feng Jinchao was cultivated by her alone. Come on, since she can use this handle, we can naturally use it too."

It was high in the sun, and Su Wei was about to go out, but he ran into Ling Xi, a maid who happened to be looking for him, by the arch of the East Garden.

"Hello, Mrs. Su," Ling Xi bowed to Su Wei, "Our young master is playing the piano in the pavilion over there, and happened to see Mrs. Su passing by, and wanted to talk to Mrs. Su."

Su Wei glanced at Nian who was sitting in the pavilion not far away, nodded slightly, and followed Ling Xi to the pavilion.

"Slave Su Peisheng pays respects to Fang Fujin."

"Su Gonggong, please come up." Nian Shi turned to Su Wei, without turning his face, and pressed both hands on the guqin, "It's delayed Su Gonggong's work, but Su Gong is busy every day. If it didn't happen by chance, I would It’s not good to interrupt rashly.”

"Can Fujin is too polite," Su Wei lowered his head, "Can Fujin has something to ask, just send someone to summon him."

"It's not an order." Nian glanced at Ling Xi, and Ling Xi stepped forward and handed Su Wei a heavy purse, "I almost fell into the water last time, thanks to Mr. Su's rescue. These are my thoughts, Su Wei Eunuch accept it first."

"This—" Su Wei hesitated for a moment, raised his head and met Ling Xi's pleading gaze, and then reached out to take it, "Thank you, my servant, for the reward."

Nian plucked a string lightly, his face was hidden in shadows, "I have one more thing, I want to ask Eunuch Su."

"Side Fujin, please tell me—"

Nianshi swallowed slowly, but Ling Xi beside him was inexplicably nervous.

"Why do you want to save me?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a gust of wind in the pavilion for no reason. If Nian Shi hadn't turned his head, Su Wei would have thought that he was hallucinating just now.

"Well, protecting the master is what a slave should do," Eunuch Su, who had a question mark in his head, really didn't know what Nian's intention was, and after thinking for a long time, he could only tentatively answer this sentence.

After hearing this, Nian's expression didn't seem to change. He turned his head again and stroked the strings lightly, "Then thank you, Eunuch Su. Eunuch Su can go to his own business."

"Hey..." Grandpa Su responded, feeling a little guilty for no reason, so he hurriedly left with a heavy purse.

Ling Xi watched Su Peisheng walk away, and was even more worried about his master. When he turned around and was about to step forward, he was shocked to find that Nian was crying...

Drops of teardrops hit the strings and fell to pieces.

The author has something to say: In fact, Nian's personality is similar to Shiyue's, but she begs more than Shiyue, so everyone will always hate her.

The saddest thing about the relationship between the three is not that there is a rival in love, but that you treat him as an enemy, and they don't take you seriously at all.
