Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 48 years

the fifth day of november, the capital

Near the big fence, at the entrance of a hidden alley, Feng Jinchao carefully got out of the carriage all the way, gave the driver a piece of silver, pressed the melon skin cap on himself, and bowed into a secret door.

Uncommonly, the old mother of the secret door did not come out to greet her, and there were low voices in the room, probably another benefactor came to the door.

Feng Jinchao didn't bother to pay attention to others, he walked along a small path by the wall to the backyard, opened the wooden door at the corner of the backyard, and outside was a triangular dark alley.

There is no other exit from the dark alley, it is only connected to a small courtyard with a single family.Feng Jinchao vaguely heard the voices of children in the courtyard, and his tense expression instantly relaxed.

"Yuejuan, Bao'er, open the door!"

The voices in the courtyard stopped suddenly, Feng Jinchao waited for a moment, and the dark wooden door was slowly opened.

"Master," said Mrs. Liu who opened the door.

Feng Jinchao ignored her and went straight through the door, and then put two shiny silver knives on his neck.

"Who are you?!"

"master!"

A rather delicate-looking young woman was pushed in front of him with her arms around a five or six-year-old boy.

Feng Jinchao was about to burst into tears, "Bao'er, Yuejuan, don't be afraid!"

The silver knife on his shoulder was shaken, Feng Jinchao stretched his neck, and shouted at the hostage-takers, "You bastards! Do you know who grandpa is? Sensible, let them go quickly!" Ladies and gentlemen! Otherwise, grandpa will let you go around without food!"

The people with knives in the courtyard didn't react, but in the main room with the door open all the time, there were two chuckles, "I really can't tell, Eunuch Feng is still an infatuated character."

Feng Jinchao recognized the owner of the voice, and his eyes widened for a moment.

Su Wei came out of the room, wearing a brocade gown, a navy blue cloak with gold trim, and a jade plaque engraved with the word "Yong" dangling slowly around his waist, with a smile on his lips, "Before our family came over, we still thought about it." Could it be a misunderstanding, I didn't expect..."

Glancing at Feng Jinchao's lower body with meaningful eyes, Su Wei walked slowly to the woman who was holding the child, reached out and touched the child's head, "It's really carved out of the same mold, I have to take it to the respect room -"

"Su Peisheng!"

Feng Jinchao almost forgot that he was still under someone's hand, and was about to rush over. When he snatched the child back, his arms were twisted, and he fell to his knees on the ground.

Su Wei's expression turned cold suddenly, he turned to stare at Feng Jinchao and said, "Eunuch Feng, after all, he is also serving the emperor, you haven't figured out your situation until now, have you?

Feng Jinchao was poured cold water on his face, so he forced himself to calm down, raised his head and said, "What on earth do you want? I'm just a eunuch, even if I was stabbed in the respect room, I can't be held accountable to Brother Ba. Besides, I haven't been with Eighth Brother for a short time, and Eighth Brother doesn't completely trust me, and I don't have any contact with government affairs at all!"

Su Wei rolled his eyes impatiently, turned around, walked to the threshold and sat down, "Eunuch Feng is thinking too much, our family is looking for you today, just to talk to you. What you can and can't do, Ben Eunuch is very clear in his heart. In fact, if there was no arrangement from our family, Eunuch Feng would not have such a good chance to show his face in front of Ba Ye."

Feng Jinchao looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Su Wei tilted his head, "Eunuch Feng is not curious, how did I discover such a deep secret?"

Feng Jinchao's expression was bewildered, and clues were slowly connected in his mind. After a long while, he suddenly realized that he raised his head in astonishment and said, "Ce Fujin is your man!"

Su Wei slowly raised the corners of his lips, "Isn't Eunuch Feng also one of us? Today is the new servant's meeting with the Lord, so Eunuch Feng doesn't have to worry too much. As long as you cooperate well, our family will not embarrass your wife and children." of."

Feng Jinchao's eyes slowly slid across the faces of Yuejuan and Bao'er, and then fell heavily on Su Wei, "What do you want me to do?"

"It's not a big deal," Su Wei lowered his head and patted the dust on his boots, "Is it okay that Fujin is in your residence recently?"

Feng Jinchao pursed his lips, and his eyes flickered, "The favorite of the special room is deeply valued by Lord Baylor, but his body is a bit poor."

The movement of Su Wei's hands paused, half of his face was hidden in a shadow, "Ku Kui!"

Kukui, who had been standing by the door, nodded, and winked at the guards of the woman and child.

"mother--"

The child was pulled aside alone by the guards, and the bright silver knife flashed, and Feng Jinchao immediately shouted, "Stop! Stop! I say, I can say anything!"

The guard stopped at Kukui's signal, and the child was brought back to his mother.

Su Wei straightened up and said lazily, "Eunuch Feng, don't test our family's patience. We know that your Feng family is weak, and you almost put your life on the line for this child. Our family is not that impersonal." I am not willing to ruin other people's happiness for nothing. However, our family is not an idiot who specializes in losing money. If this business does not make a profit, don't blame our family for being cruel..."

Feng Jinchao's face was pale, and he was in a cold sweat. After listening to Su Wei's words, he only nodded frequently, "I know, I understand, I will never dare to play tricks on Su Gonggong again."

Su Wei nodded in relief, and Feng Jinchao continued, "Just, don't blame the little one for not being able to explain clearly about the side Fujin. The little one is really confused. Everything is fine, and Lord Belle doesn't go too far. Go to the backyard. I don’t know why a while ago, but the other side Fujin suddenly became warm. When I was in Cheng’en Garden, I often spent the night with side Fujin in the garden, and I didn’t let the servants follow me. There were people guarding the outside of the yard. I couldn’t figure it out after inquiring. But it was also from then on, that Fujin started to go wrong, talking about it every day, and her spirit became extremely poor. I went to pick up Fujin a few times, and she seemed to be afraid of going to the garden. It seems that he has a minor illness every two days, and a serious illness every three days. When he returned to the palace these days, Lord Belle often called Ci Fujin to the front yard, and also ordered that Fujin want to rest and recuperate. Don't go out at will."

Su Wei stood up, frowning deeply, lingered on the spot for a while, then turned to Feng Jinchao and said, "Make arrangements for me, I want to see Xiuxiang."

"Here," Feng Jinchao showed embarrassment, "Ci Fujin is watching very closely, I'm afraid—"

Su Wei frowned, and Feng Jinchao immediately swallowed his excuses, "Yes, I will go back and find a way, and we must arrange it as soon as possible."

"Well," Su Wei rubbed his nose, and let out a breath slowly, "Your yard is a good place, if you have any news, please spread it here, and I will send someone to keep an eye on it."

"Yes," Feng Jinchao bowed his head.

Su Wei walked up to Feng Jinchao and lowered his voice, "As for your family—"

Feng Jinchao raised his head, and Su Wei curled his lips, "Don't blame me for treating a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, after all, we haven't cooperated for long."

"Eunuch Su!"

"Hey," Su Wei interrupted Feng Jinchao's entreaty, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass them, I will find a suitable place for them to take care of, and I will let you see them once a month .As long as you do things reliably, even if you break in one day, you don’t have to worry about the lives of their mother and children. I will ensure that they have food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Of course, if you make great achievements one day, you will change your appearance and take your wife and children with you. It is not impossible to stay away from right and wrong and have a stable life.”

Su Wei's last words may have really moved Feng Jinchao. The latter pursed his lips, firmed his expression, bowed his hands and bowed down, "I must obey Su Gonggong's orders and serve Prince Yong wholeheartedly!"

Evening, East Garden

Niu Hulu and Shiyue took a walk in the garden together. There were thick layers of autumn leaves on both sides of the gravel road. The golden color was reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun, revealing some warmth and splendor.

"I just said it's time to come out for a walk," Niu Hulu put her arms around Mulan, and said to Shi Yue slightly sideways, "Sister Pian likes to stay in the Xipei courtyard. In a few days, the weather will It’s getting cold, and I can’t even think about it.”

Shiyue laughed lightly when she heard the words, looking at the surrounding scenery, she felt much more relaxed, "Every time I come here, I can smell the aroma of jujubes. I think the jujube trees behind the East Courtyard have matured."

"No, I just said how gluttonous the taste is." Niu Hulu stood on the steps of the pavilion and looked towards the east courtyard. Take it easy."

Shiyue's heart tightened, and she said calmly, "What did you pick there? It smells sour and astringent. If you want to eat it, I still have a lot, so I made jujube cake and sent it to you later. "

Niu Hulu turned her head and smiled at Shiyue, "I just said, how can I really go to pick it. It's my sister who misses me, and I'm waiting for your jujube cake."

Shiyue bent her lips, took Niu Hulu's hand, and the two walked towards the gate of the garden.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and a few lanterns approached, Shiyue and Niu Hulu stopped in their tracks.

The person in the middle saw the two young masters not far away, and greeted them first, "Slave Su Peisheng greets the two young masters."

Under the swaying candlelight, a noble and tall man was reflected, and both Niu Hulu and Shiyue's eyes lit up.

Niu Hulu laughed lightly, covered his handkerchief and said first, "Eunuch Su is dressed like a rich man. He is wronged. He looks like a handsome young man who came out of those scriptures. I can't help but look at him." Can't recognize it."

Shiyue blushed, lowered her head slightly, pulled Niu Hulu's sleeve and said, "Stop talking nonsense, Eunuch Su must be on an errand. You are joking so much, people will hear what you say. "

Niu Hulu smiled and lowered his head, Su Wei bent over in embarrassment and said, "The two young masters laughed, and the servant is also afraid that he will lose the prince's face when he goes out to do errands. He is so old, but he can't afford it." Praise from the young masters."

"Eunuch Su is at the right age." Shiyue raised her head, her bright eyes fell on Su Wei's face, and she quickly moved away, "Eunuch Su really looks good in this dress..."

"What are you talking about?" The fourth elder brother walked all the way through the carved arch, saw Su Wei and the others, and greeted them.

"My concubine pays my respects to the prince."

"Get up."

Shiyue bowed down together with Niu Hulu, and after hearing Si Age's cry, she slowly got up, and when she raised her head again, she just saw a ray of focused eyes fall on Su Peisheng.

The fourth elder brother was a bit reluctant to look away, but the two people on the opposite side had already looked over, so he slightly tilted his head and said, "It's so late, I'm still wandering around in the garden, be careful of catching a cold."

"Thank you, my lord," Niu Hulu lowered his head, "We were about to go back too, but we just happened to meet Eunuch Su. It is rare to see Eunuch Su dressed up like this on weekdays. It was a novelty, so we made a few jokes."

"Oh?" The fourth elder brother turned his gaze back to Su Wei, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "How are you joking?"

Su Wei's ears were a little hot, and he wanted to stare at the fourth elder brother but didn't dare, so he could only secretly tug on his cloak, trying to wrap himself more tightly.

Niu Hulu smiled lightly, pursed the corners of his lips and said, "Just say that Eunuch Su is well dressed. He has been with the prince for a long time, and he is stained with the nobility of the prince. Now that he is out of the house, he is a rich young master. It's a loss."

"Really?" The fourth elder brother looked carefully at the person in front of him from head to toe. His probing gaze seemed to have a perspective function. Su Wei lowered the lantern in his hand, trying to cover up the redness that had turned into a crab shell. Face.

"Well, it's really pretty," a low-smiling voice softly brushed against Su Wei's ears, Eunuch Su bit his lips silently, wrapped in the cloak that was wrapped again and again, as if a pot of water was boiling, It's about to get steamy.

"It's getting late, the concubines are leaving first, and the prince should also rest early," Shiyue said, and saluted with Niu Hulu, and the two of them left.

When she was about to leave the garden gate, Shiyue turned her head secretly and glanced at the distant lights.

The lantern in Eunuch Su's hand was in the hands of the fourth elder brother at some point. The two seemed to be one behind the other, but in fact the distance was not far. The fourth elder brother could see that person as long as he turned his head slightly.

East courtyard

When the two of them entered the house, Grandpa Su's stomach burst into flames immediately. He tossed his cloak and stretched out his hand to pinch Si elder brother's neck.

Being subdued by the fourth elder brother with one hand, he was dragged to the couch with his arms and arms, and he touched his waist and buttocks two times in satisfaction, "Well, it looks good, and the waist is pinched well. I will let the master do it like this for a long time. Do two."

"What kind of clothes are you doing? I have business to do." Su Wei shook off the hooligan hand of the fourth elder brother and climbed all the way to the inside of the couch. Bully me in person!"

"How can this be bullying?" The fourth elder brother loosened his cuffs, took off his court clothes, and sat next to Su Wei with his lips bent. Put on this outfit and go for a walk outside the Nijing Gate, and you will be able to compare all the young men who are in the court with you!"

Eunuch Su was a little flustered, he thought about it in his head, and said coldly, "I don't want to live in this suit to enter the palace? Don't talk nonsense, I've got Feng Jinchao today!"

"The eunuch next to Lao Ba?" The fourth elder brother leaned on the cushion, "He told you what happened to Jiayi?"

"It's not clear," Su Wei straightened his expression, and leaned over to the fourth elder brother's ear, "However, I suspect..."

The fourth elder brother's eyebrows turned cold, "Confuse the royal blood? Impossible. This will be discovered, but it is a serious crime to lose your head."

"I'm not sure yet," Su Wei was also a little unsure, "I have to wait until I see Xiuxiang."

"Old Ba..." Brother Si frowned, "If the rumors really put a lot of pressure on him this time, maybe he will really take the risk!"

Hami, mid-November

"My lord, a letter from Sichuan!"

Hu Bu, the doorman, presented the letter to Funing'an. Funing'an opened it hastily, and after reading it over, he slowly exhaled, "Master Nian has already started raising food. If everything goes well, we should be able to transfer to the border at the end of the month."

"Your Excellency, don't worry too much," Hu Bu handed Funing'an a hot tea ceremony, "The food we brought in earlier is enough for the winter, and now we are planning to escape from Alabitan. According to Jingli's intention, it will not be too late." Let us send out troops in the snow and ice."

"There is enough food for winter, but you can't just look at your eyes when you lead troops to fight." Funing'an tapped his hand on the topographic map. It is even more difficult to transport grain. When winter turns to spring, the grain and grass will bottom out, and the grain will be redistributed again. Will the soldiers go hungry? In case of a sneak attack in Junggar in the early spring, we will be even more passive. What's more, now Gansu officials and I am not single-minded, and the adjustment of food and troops is full of twists and turns, so I have to think about it in advance."

"My lord is thoughtful, but my subordinates are shallow-sighted," Hu Bu cupped his hands.

Funing'an raised his hand and patted his arm, threw the letter he had just received into the brazier, got up and left the tent.

Hu Bu walked to the brazier, and the letter had been burned to ashes.
