Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 48 years

December [-]th, Prince Yong's Mansion

In the East Small Hospital, Doctor Cheng was led into the inner hall by Xuer.

Shiyue was leaning on the soft couch to make a muff, the room was warmed by the brazier, with a light fruity fragrance.Seeing Cheng Bin enter the door, Shiyue smiled warmly, "Physician Cheng is here, come and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up."

"Thank you, my lord," Cheng Bin bowed his hands.

Xu'er swiftly moved the round stool, ran to make a new pot of tea, and brought it to Cheng Bin, "This is the ginseng and red date tea made by our young master himself. If Doctor Cheng comes late, he won't be able to enjoy this tea." It's a blessing."

"You talk too much," Shiyue cast an angry look at Xu'er, Xu'er stuck out her tongue with a smile, and retreated to the door to guard.

"Master's deficiency of blood and stasis of blood, some ginseng is good for nourishing in winter. But it's not advisable to use too much, just two or two every three days," Cheng Bin enjoined earnestly while holding a tea bowl.

"Thank you for the reminder, the imperial doctor, I will pay attention," Shiyue nodded slightly, and when Cheng Bin finished his tea, he put his hand on the pulse pillow.

Cheng Bin tapped with two fingers, and remained silent for a while, his brows gradually furrowed, "Is there something bothering you recently, my lord? I often toss and turn at night, with chest pains?"

Shiyue was dazed for a moment, and after seeing Cheng Bin's probing eyes, she smiled and said, "It's just that I couldn't sleep well, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Cheng Bin lowered his head, with a dull expression on his face, "The young master has been in poor health since he was born. Most of it is due to too many thoughts and cannot be distracted. I personally think that for a sick person, you should first follow your own body and then follow the medicine. Although the doctor can Healing a disease, but not a person. If the young master doesn’t take his body seriously, then no matter how many prescriptions, no matter how expensive medicinal materials are, they will be useless. The doctor’s painstaking efforts will be in vain.”

Shiyue noticed Cheng Bin's anger, her heart warmed inexplicably, but she was sad for no reason, "I made Doctor Cheng worry about it, a little problem of blood loss and Qi, I shouldn't bother Doctor Cheng like this—" —”

"I'm not afraid of trouble!" Cheng Bin said suddenly, Shiyue was taken aback, their eyes met, and they froze in place for a moment.

Cheng Bin was the first to react, and hastily looked away, stood up from the round stool, and cupped his hands at Shiyue, "It's my humble minister who was rude, please don't take offense, my lord."

Shiyue lowered her head, twitched the handkerchief in her hand somewhat at a loss, took a deep breath and said, "Physician Cheng also cares about patients, and the doctor is benevolent, so what is there to blame? You and I have known each other for not a day or two. , there is no need to be so polite."

Cheng Bin raised his head slightly, glanced at Shiyue who lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, then leaned over again, and sat back on the round stool, "I usually come and go to the prince's mansion, and I have a lot of contact with patients like the young master. It seems that they are all small problems, but they accumulate over time and often damage the heart and body. Once a serious illness suddenly strikes, the exhausted body has no ability to resist, and the life force will be damaged at the slightest, and it will be..."

Cheng Bin didn't finish his sentence, and lowered his head again, "The young master is still young, and he still has a great time. His life is only a few decades, and there are still many things that the young master has not experienced and many beautiful scenery. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't take care of your body and stay on the sick bed in vain?"

"Doctor Cheng is right," Shi Yue lowered her eyes, "It's just that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, no matter how wonderful the experience is, what's the point if you don't have a sincere person to share it with you? I stay here every day with the colorful Prince Yong I live in the mansion, but I live more and more lonely day by day. I dare not think about it, dare not look forward to it. A little ripple in my heart will make me fear. I dare not imagine my future life. I am afraid that one day I will not be able to live again. Controlling my heart will make me a terrible person, with a terrible thought, and become what I hated the most at the beginning."

"Young master won't," Cheng Bin pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "Although, I don't understand why the young master would have such an idea. However, the young master is not a person who will hurt others, and more You can't become a terrible person. When I first met you, I felt that you are different from other high-ranking family members. You are a simple and pure person, straightforward, kind and warm. During this period of contact , I believe it even more. This is why I can't bear the reason why the little master is so depressed. The little master can't bear to hurt others, but he will hurt himself in turn."

"I'm not that good," Shiyue said with a shy smile, "Physician Cheng thinks too highly of me. I'm just an ordinary woman who will be jealous and complain, maybe one day I will be because of these irresolvable problems Emotions do things that hurt others."

"If," Cheng Bin paused, and raised his head, "if the young master can't believe in himself, and needs someone to share, need someone to talk to, then Cheng Bin is willing anytime!"

Shiyue was a little surprised. When she raised her head, she saw Cheng Bin sitting upright with an extremely serious expression on his face.It's hard to imagine how he used that serious look to say such a misleading sentence.

However, Shiyue felt very warm and at ease in her heart, "Thank you, Mrs. Cheng... Cheng Bin!"

In the evening, East Courtyard

Eunuch Su hasn't come back yet, but there is an unpopular guest in the inner hall.

The fourth elder brother was sitting on the couch reading a book. At the round table not far in front of him, sat a young man dressed in official clothes crookedly, facing the table full of delicious food.

Zhang Qilin stood at the door with a horrible expression on his face. Seeing that this man had just finished a bowl of wax gourd and shrimp soup, he unobtrusively picked up the pot of Bazhen pigeon soup that had been simmering all day, and he was instantly furious.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Zhang Qilin stabbed Zhang Bao's arm twice, "The Bazhen Soup uses Bawei's precious tonic, and the velvet antler has just been delivered from Dashang Ula, and the prince hasn't even had a bite yet!"

"You ask me, I ask who to go to," Zhang Bao said indifferently, "Anyway, the person brought back by the prince was supposed to wait for Eunuch Su to have dinner together. But when this person entered the room and saw the table of food, his stomach started to twitch." Called. The prince listened to it for a long time, so he couldn't bear to let him eat first. Don't worry, I ordered the dining room to make a new one, and when Eunuch Su comes back, he will remove this table."

"That squab soup has been stewed all day, and I specially asked the kitchen to prepare it!" Zhang Qilin looked annoyed, if the prince was not sitting in the room, he would rush up and beat this man out!

"Is there no public cook in the household department? How long have you been hungry?" The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Wei, still holding the scroll in his hand.

"My last meal was last night, and it was steamed buns that the treasurer secretly brought to me." Li Wei tore off a chicken leg and gnawed happily, "I can't help it. I dare not leave after the box stands up. You I also saw that today, the effort to go to the latrine was almost moved away."

"How much effect do you think a sensational wooden box can do?" The fourth elder brother lowered his head and turned the pages of the book again, "If Yinbi finds out, it's just a matter of one word to dismantle it. With only your strength, It's like hitting a stone with an egg, you, a little doctor, offended the county king, can you still have a place in the officialdom of the court?"

"Why can't there be?" Li Wei turned around with his job bowl in hand, "He is a majestic county king, and he puts the money from the imperial treasury in his purse openly. The imperial court can have a place for him, why can't I have mine? Because you are all relatives of the emperor, and you are honored by your good ancestors, so you can ignore the laws of the Qing Dynasty, disregard the life and death of the people, and take money at will?"

The fourth elder brother frowned, but before he could speak, a clear voice came from outside the door.

"I'm back, where's the master?"

Su Wei stepped into the door, flicked the snow on his boots, and when he looked up, he saw Zhang Qilin, who had lifted the curtain, baring his teeth and claws at him.

The fourth elder brother turned his head and said to Li Wei indifferently, "The person I want you to meet is back, can you see if it is what you are looking for?"

Li Wei looked at the door blankly, just as Su Wei walked into the inner hall holding the cloak.

"It's you!"

Grandpa Su, who had just entered the door, was taken aback by the young man who jumped up suddenly. Before he could react, the other party had already rushed to him in a few steps!

"Su Wei! I've been looking for you for a long time. The shopkeeper of Piaoxiangju has changed, and I don't know where your home is. I've been asking for a long time, but I haven't heard any news!"

"Looking for me?" Su Wei was stunned for a long time, "Do we know each other?"

"You don't remember? I'm Li Wei!" The young man looked excited, "Seven years ago, you bought raw silk from our caravan at Piaoxiangju!"

"Ah!" Grand Duke Su was enlightened instantly, "800 taels!"

The fourth elder brother was supporting his forehead, and the naive Master Li was still nodding frequently.

Grandpa Su became entangled in an instant. Should he want the 800 taels, or should he still want it?

"Ahem," the fourth elder brother cleared his throat, "Li Wei is now a doctor in the household department. I met him when I went to the household department to do some business today. I thought you two should be old acquaintances, so I brought him back."

"Yes, the lord said he would take me to meet someone I would really like to meet. I thought it was the King of Dunjun." Li Wei patted his stomach, laughing heartlessly.

"Prince Dun?" Su Wei frowned, "Why do you want to see King Dun?"

"Go and open your eyes, let me think about it and see if this person's face is thick enough to beat the drums, so that he can embezzle the money of the household department so openly!"

Su Wei was confused, and turned to look at his master.

The fourth elder brother curled his mouth, and said in a leisurely tone, "Master Li Langzhong set up a box in the household department to put the Ku Pingyin that Yinca asked for, and wrote four big characters on the outside, lord. When he arrived at the household department, he was messing with the servant of the household department!"

"How can this be called Sapo? I am responding to all changes with the same invariance." Master Li has no concept of superiority or inferiority. I can't even find you, so you are from Prince Yong's mansion? What do you do? You are also a relative of the emperor, right?"

"I'm not a relative of the emperor," Su Wei grinned, "I'm dedicated to serving the relatives of the emperor."

"Serving the emperor's relatives?" Li Wei rested his chin and thought for a while, "A guard? A doorman? Or some kind of house slave?"

"No, no," Grand Duke Su shook his head, "Our family is Prince Yong's personal eunuch, with a sixth-rank official rank, known as Chief Supervisor Su Peisheng!"

There was silence in the house.

Li Wei had an unbelievable expression on his face, a pair of black eyeballs fluttered and floated to Su Wei's lower body, and his voice was finally not so foolish, but trembling, "You, you, you became a eunuch? "

Su Wei's face sank, and he raised his chin and said, "What's the matter, do you look down on eunuchs? Let me tell you, don't say you're a meager Hubu doctor, even your Hubu Shangshu, you don't dare to speak loudly when you see me! "

Li Wei pursed his lips, and his face gradually showed a bit of sadness, "It's not because you bought our raw silk at a high price, but in the end you lost all your money, your family was ruined, and you had to sell yourself to the palace to kill yourself—"

"Stop!" Su Wei raised his hand, "Our family entered the palace at the age of eight, and your family was ruined and lost all your money! By the way, you just mentioned the original transaction. At that time, our family thought you were pitiful, so we bought it at a high price. Your goods. Now, you are also a dignified household doctor, 800 taels will be discounted in half, and I will return 400 taels!"

"What are you kidding?"

Mr. Li's face-changing speed is not inferior to Grandpa Su's at all. The tears just squeezed from the corners of his eyes are not yet dry, and he is already a vice-marketer. Is there any reason to ask for a refund after seven years of negotiating the price?"

"Hehe, do you want to admit it by saying that?" Grandpa Su crossed his legs, "A man should repay his kindness with gratitude, and remember the source of drinking water, do you understand? At the beginning, our family was sending charcoal in a timely manner. How much is your batch of raw silk worth in the market?" Don't you know? Now, my grandpa is short of money, and it's time for you to tie a straw ring."

Li Wei glanced ironically at Prince Yong, who hadn't taken his eyes off the book from the beginning to the end, and then turned his head to Su Wei, spreading his hands together, "I'm sorry, I don't have a blade of grass, I can't hold the ring." !"

"What do you mean?" Su Wei's eyes widened.

Li Wei chuckled, "I donated all my family property to the government, let alone 400 taels now, I can't even get 40 taels."

"How much money can a doctor use? Hasn't your family been in business for generations?" Grandpa Su couldn't believe the fact that he was so straightforwardly blamed by others.

"My parents died young, and my family has not much money." Li Wei rubbed his stomach, he was not full enough, "A few years ago I traveled all over the world to earn some money, but later I was delayed for a few years by imitating other people's imperial examinations. The last look The imperial examination was really useless, so I became a property and donation officer. Do you know how much money a member of the Ministry of War costs? I sold the house of my hometown in order to get a real job. But there is still no room for the Ministry of War Me, I stayed for a year, so I was kicked out to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Fortunately, Master Shangshu gave me an errand to look after the library, but I didn't expect that after a few days of working, I would encounter a lot of bad things again! "

"Now, you'd better think about what to do with that certain king Yingyu?"

The fourth elder brother who hadn't looked up all this time finally said, "I guess Yinji has already got the news by now."

"I'm not afraid of him." Li Wei turned around and sat down at the round table, picked up the unfinished chicken leg and continued to eat, "He is the king of the county, and you are the prince. Is it possible that he still dares to come here?"

"Wait!" Su Wei's complexion changed, and he walked to the table in a few steps, "The trouble you caused yourself has nothing to do with my master? Why are you planning to stay here?"

"What does it matter if I stay here?" Li Wei spoke uprightly, "Besides, Duke Dun is your master's younger brother. The older brother can't even control the younger brother. Shouldn't he be held responsible?"

"Damn it! The King of Dun County is still the son of Long Live Lord." Grandpa Su raised his voice and pointed out the window, "If you have the ability, go to the palace and tell Long Live Lord!"

"You think I don't want to? I can't enter the palace. If I could, I would have complained!"

Li Wei ate the last bite of the chicken, got up angrily, but said to the fourth elder brother instead of Su Wei, "If you don't want to care, I can't help it. Who told Daqing to take your family's surname? But, Let me tell you, I won’t let it go! Hades is terrible, and the little devil is hard to deal with! Unless King Dun kills me, I will pretend to be crazy to the end! I will make a big fuss about a dignified county king embezzling the treasury. Everyone in the world knows, and it will be up to you how you explain to the people!"
