Kangxi 25 years

elder brother's head

In the evening, the elder brother's study room was dark.

He Zhou stood by the table, not daring to say a word, since that day after the prince's lecture ceremony, their elder brother would be in a daze for a while every night.

The eunuch on duty outside the door poked his head in and winked at He Zhou. He Zhou glanced out of the window and said in a low voice, "Master, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent a tailor, and our servant's clothes have to be made."

The elder brother regained his composure and agreed, "Light the candles and let them in."

"Hey," He Zhou quickly called the little eunuch in to hold the lamp, and then he approached the elder brother as if thinking of something, "Master, do you want to take the two princesses in our backyard with you?"

The elder brother lowered his head and adjusted his belt, "What are you doing with them?"

He Zhou smirked twice, and didn't dare to speak. There is no master in this backyard who is satisfied with his elder brother, so he has to bear the pressure of Mount Tai every day.

Sho San Institute

In the fourth elder brother's study room, there was a pile of cloth like a hill. When he learned that the fourth elder brother was going to follow the outside of the Great Wall, the imperial concubine and concubine De sent a large pile of cloth.In fact, the cloth in the fourth elder brother's warehouse is enough to last for three years, not to mention the clothes that are made and never worn.

The fourth elder brother sat on the couch with his chin leaning on his chin, watching Su Peisheng take a small book, and memorized one by one, muttering as he memorized, "One piece of Japanese satin, two pieces of gold lettered satin, four pieces of cloud satin, Three bolts of plain satin, two bolts of blue plain satin, and one bolt of hat satin..."

"Su Peisheng..." the fourth elder brother called out boredly.

"Hey," Su Wei turned his head, "What is the master's order?"

"It's nothing... I can't use so much fabric, you can take a few to make clothes."

Su Wei chuckled, "Your Majesty gave it to you, how dare the slaves wear it, don't worry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has made the clothes for the servants."

The fourth elder brother sat up and pouted, "You can take it as you please, so much nonsense, can the Ministry of Internal Affairs do what this elder brother rewards?"

"Yes," Su Wei bowed his head, "Thank you, master, for the reward."

The fourth elder brother made a cut, turned around and walked to the desk, picked up a book to cover his face, Su Wei glanced at it twice, and whispered, "Master, the book is upside down!"

into the night,

The fourth elder brother flopped on the bed for more than an hour and finally fell asleep.

Su Wei sat on the ottoman and smiled silently. It was the first time the emperor took the fourth elder brother out, no wonder the fourth elder brother was excited, but their master was always a little arrogant.

The next day, the tailor from the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived at Zhengsan Institute.

After measuring the fourth elder brother's body, the leading nun handed a brochure to Su Peisheng, "This is the list of clothes made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the elder brothers according to the decree. For the clothes you make, please make a list for the old slave as soon as possible, so that we can work day and night.”

Su Wei nodded, opened the brochure and looked at it, "Squared eighteen long gowns, eighteen short coats, ten large-breasted vests, four jackets, eight plain gowns, eight boa robes, and twenty inner garments , a mink cloak, some boots, a belt, sweat towels, etc."

Su Wei closed the booklet and said to Nanny, "The two empresses in the palace gave a lot of cloth, and they also asked Madam to help the fourth elder brother to see what is suitable. Now I think there are fewer boa robes and more inner clothes. .”

Su Wei took the nanny to the side hall to look at the pile of brocades, and the nanny looked at the brocades one by one, "The old slave will make a rough calculation, and make another twenty pieces of inner clothes, eight python robes, and ten robes and mandarin jackets. The color of the ink fox fur is very good, I sewed a cloak for the fourth elder brother, and then made two fur coats with sea dragon fur trim, in case I come back late and the weather turns cold."

Su Wei nodded, "It should be about the same, then please trouble the mother, I will ask the little eunuch to carry these cloths to you later."

Mammy leaned over, "Thank you, Eunuch."

Su Wei smiled, "You're welcome, Mammy, these cloth servants have been registered. At that time, Mammy used a few feet and inches, and which clothes were used, please also remember clearly, we have a lot of clothes. Refund and make up for the shortfall, and understand that it will be accounted for.”

The nanny was taken aback, then bowed her head and said, "It should, it should."

In a blink of an eye, it was July, and the emperor was scheduled to leave at the end of July.

The fourth elder brother took the time to enter the palace to greet the two empresses, but Su Wei did not follow because he was too busy.In July, all the things that the fourth brother's followers need to use have to be packed into boxes.Only then did Su Wei realize what a huge project this was.

Let’s remove the clothes first, the fourth brother’s bedding, except the bed, cannot be moved. There are six sets of mattresses, pillows, and quilts, plus two thick wool blankets stuffed into four large boxes.The spare tableware and tea set on the road, as well as the charcoal stove on the carriage, and two boxes.Medicines and supplements for emergencies, books and chess sets for the fourth elder brother to relieve boredom, ranging from bathtubs to small treasures of the study, and even three or four chamber pots. Looking at the more and more boxes piled up in the yard, Su Wei felt really sad. It's getting more and more bottomless.Are they going out to play or moving house?By mid-July, when the fourth brother's clothes were ready and delivered, the yard was almost too crowded for people.

On the fourth elder brother's side, during the palace visit in July, he finally met the concubine De after giving birth, and also gave the newborn little princess a longevity lock.But after the fourth elder brother came back, he secretly told Su Wei that the baby was a girl, and Er Niang was very disappointed. They all expected Yinzuo to come back.Su Wei curled his lips secretly, not everyone can live another life inexplicably like him, okay?

On July 29th, the saint drove up from Luang.

The night before, Su Wei didn't sleep all night. He directed the little eunuchs to pack the boxes for the whole night, which fully filled four carriages. However, seeing the other brothers who were in the same situation as them, Su Wei Wei calmed down, and heard that the third elder brother packed four boxes in light of the book.

The carriage that the fourth elder brother rides is also carefully decorated. Although the fourth elder brother can ride a horse most of the time, the necessary things in the carriage must be complete, such as food, medicine, tea set, charcoal stove, pillows, blankets and so on.

At Yinshi, when the carriage was pulled away from the palace gate, they would take a step ahead and go out of Dongzhimen, wait for the holy driver to enter Donghuamen, be kowtowed by all the officials, and then join them after leaving Dongzhimen with Lubo's honor guard.

Su Wei was worried, and asked Kukui to escort the cart and go first with the coachman and guards.When he returned to Elder Brother's office, Fourth Elder Brother had already woken up and finished washing. He was wearing a stone blue jacket embroidered with five-clawed golden dragon and five-color cloud dragon, and paired with a pair of dark blue gold-patterned boots.Let Su Wei look at it, and he was really stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know when, the fourth elder brother had grown a lot taller, and now his upper body felt a bit tall and tall in his original auspicious clothes.

The fourth elder brother accompanied this time, among the haha ​​beads, only Tong Jia's Namutu and Niu Hulu's Songgan accompanied him, while the chief eunuch brought Su Peisheng, Zhang Bao, Wang Chaoqing, and Kukui.

At the time of the day, clean up the front door

All elder brothers, clan relatives, and internal ministers sent off the holy car respectfully.

After the emperor drove away, several attendants got on their horses one after another, followed the prince, and walked in the middle of the team surrounded by the Xiaoqi battalion.

It's a pity that Su Wei couldn't follow the fourth elder brother at this time, and could only stand far away in the team of eunuchs and follow the team.Behind the fourth elder brother are Namutu, Songgan and personal guards.

Luan drove across the Jinshui Bridge in front of him. There was a sound of ceremony and music, canopies were raised everywhere, and flags were fluttering. The Lubo honor guard officially set off.

Su Wei looked up from the line behind, and there was a row of canopies in the Luanjia ceremonial guard. The five-color canopy, purple sesame canopy, and emerald canopy were more beautiful than the other, but the most conspicuous ones were the bright yellow Nine Dragon Straight Handle Canopy and Nine Dragon Crank Canopy. Under these two canopies is the holy Luanjia, the real Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

Out of Dongzhimen is the avenue of the capital.However, Su Wei did not see the bustling market and the crowd of people watching. It may be because Luanjia walked this road and did not pass through the civilian activity area. There are government offices and mansions on both sides, and only hundreds of officials kneel to see him off.

However, Su Wei has opened his eyes. The red lacquer and gray tiles, the stone lions guarding the gate, the red lanterns hanging on both sides of the gateposts, the ancient trees protruding from the walls, and the pavilions are like covers. The city of Beijing a hundred years ago has another characteristic. , settled in Su Wei's eyes.Su Wei couldn't help being a little excited. If he still had a chance in this life, he really thought of the palace, walked around, and truly experienced the land of China without any westernization.

After walking for nearly an hour, the team left Dongzhimen one after another.Su Wei finally saw the kneeling people on both sides of the road. They were not in shabby clothes, but all of them were extremely pious. The mountains that Luanjia passed by were shouting long live, and some of them were holding discs containing melons, fruits and rice. , but no one picked it up.The masters were all surrounded by layers of protection, and Su Wei didn't know if his fourth master was riding a horse while waving and smiling at the people around him like on TV.

It was nearly an hour after leaving Dongzhimen, and there were gradually no buildings on both sides of the road, and the horse-drawn carriages that had been waiting on the side of the road began to enter the queue.Su Wei trotted forward with a group of young eunuchs looking for his own frame.When he found the carriage of Zhengsan Institute, Su Wei was already a little out of breath. It was only at this time that Su Wei realized how long the line of the saint was on tour.

Kukui, who was escorting the carriage, was very conscientious, and the four carriages and the vehicles of the fourth elder brother all entered the team properly.

Counting that the fourth elder brother has been riding a horse for more than two hours, it is time to eat and drink some water.Su Wei took the water bottle from the carriage, wrapped some pastries, and left Wang Chaoqing to watch the carriage, and then he and Zhang Bao rushed to the team together.And he didn't realize it at this time, a journey of hardship that he had never felt before had just begun.

After all, Zhang Bao has kung fu, and Su Wei is a scum compared to others.After jogging for a quarter of an hour, Su Wei was out of breath, and Zhang Bao seemed to be okay.Su Wei complained silently for himself in his heart, while on the other side he secretly disliked Zhang Bao for being as stupid as a wooden stake, so he didn't know how to pretend to let him balance his mind.

Fortunately, God knows, Su Wei and the others didn't go halfway, there was a burst of dust raised by horseshoes in front, it turned out that several elder brothers came back.

Su Wei stood by the side of the road, and the fourth elder brother came to meet him on a dark brown horse.This horse was still relatively young, just out of the ranks of colts, and it was rewarded by the emperor when the fourth elder brother began to learn riding and shooting.

Seeing Su Wei, the fourth elder brother tightened the reins, Su Wei raised his head while holding the water bottle and said, "Master, drink some water."

The fourth elder brother shook his head, "Go back to the carriage and drink again. Big Brother told us to come back and change our clothes, take a rest, and ride out of the team for a run in a while."

"Okay," Su Wei stepped forward, pulled the rein and walked forward. When he reached the side of the road, his sleeve was pulled by the fourth elder brother. "What's the matter, master?" Su Wei raised his head and said.

The fourth elder brother pointed to the grass under the road, "I want to go for convenience."
