Kangxi 49 years

At the end of September, the capital gradually cooled down.

The fourth elder brother wore a ochre-colored cloud pattern cloak, and walked slowly on the gravel road in the East Garden of the Wangfu with Longkodo.

"The army to aid Tibet has been dispatched for several days, and it won't be long before the military newspapers will spread to the capital frequently." Longkodo raised his head slightly, and he could only see the side face of the fourth elder brother from his direction, "My minister heard, long live My Lord has often suffered from eye problems recently, and the memorials handed by courtiers have to be read by others. Now the Fourteenth Lord is often by the side of Long Live Lord, and he has been involved in all six chapters. If this continues, I am afraid that the situation will be unfavorable to the Lord."

"Is there any movement from the old eighth side?" The fourth elder brother did not directly respond to Longkodo's words, and his steps were slow and steady.

"Brother Eight has been living in seclusion, and the people who come and go in and out of the mansion are still Arzona's group, and there is nothing unusual about it," Long Kedo replied with his head bowed.

The fourth elder brother exhaled softly, stopped in the gazebo beside the bamboo forest, and looked at the high wall in the distance, "This king can't return to the court for the time being, you should keep an eye on the movement of the court, and report in time if there is any situation."

"My lord," Long Kedo couldn't understand, "Now is the time for the Long Live Lord to reuse the lord. The fourteenth brother is still fledgling, and the eighth brother is no longer successful. Isn't it tantamount to missing a great opportunity for the lord to retire bravely at this time? "

The fourth elder brother narrowed his eyes slightly, and lightly stroked the pavilion pillar with one hand. A four-clawed pan dragon was about to soar up, "It is indeed a great opportunity, just like a fish on a chopping board, fresh and plump, and within reach. I don't know, is there such a thing?" Eat your life in your mouth..."

"My lord—"

Longkodo was about to say more, but the fourth elder brother raised a hand to stop him, "This king has already made plans, so there is no need to say more. If there is any change in the border situation, this king will return to the court."

"Yes..." Longkodo hesitated for a moment, but still bent down.

West Gate of Prince Yong's Mansion

Baosheng dismissed the concierge, walked quickly into the gate of the mansion with a basket in hand.

Xiao Erge was leading people to look around, and happened to bump into Baosheng, "Aunt Baosheng, are you going out today?"

"Ah? Yes," Baosheng's hand holding the basket shook slightly, and quickly returned to normal, "I went home for a trip, Da Gege agreed."

Xiao Erge frowned, and Baosheng's strangeness did not escape his eyes, "What did Auntie bring? Recently, the house has been under strict investigation, did you just show it to the concierge?"

"Of course I've seen it, but bring some snacks from the streets and alleys to the girls, and the two princesses can taste something new." After all, Baosheng is not an ordinary maid, and he quickly put on the air, "Why? Do you want to search again?"

"Oh, what did aunt say?" Xiao Erge laughed along, but didn't let his foot down, "You also know that the mansion is not peaceful these days, and Eunuch Su has left his words behind, and the things outside have been cleared." All the goods are not allowed to be sent to the mansion. The mountain goods sent by Li Fangfujin’s family yesterday were all sent back intact, and our subordinates can only follow orders, can’t they?”

Baosheng squeezed the basket in his hand, and looked at Xiao Erge with cold eyes, "What do you mean? I just brought some food for Gege, and I can't even exchange two pieces of cloth in the market. taboo?"

"Don't be angry, aunt, that's not the meaning of the small one." Xiao Erge continued to smile, "It's just that the concierge is usually negligent. Although your basket is worthless, you have to keep a record. You see, why don't you hand it over first?" Give it to me, and I'll send it to you after I finish recording, or you can take it easy and wait here for a while?"

"Why is it so troublesome? It's just a basket of gadgets, the concierge has seen it just now!"

Baosheng didn't want to retreat, and there was anger on his face, but Xiao Erge smiled and refused to give an inch.

"Auntie, don't embarrass the little ones, but just write down a name, so that the little ones can communicate with their superiors in the future."

While talking, Xiao Erge shook his head slightly.

The two young eunuchs who followed Xiao Erge leaned towards Baosheng, one left and one right, and one of them quickly lifted the red cloth on the basket.

Baosheng paused, but his face changed slightly. There were several paper packages in the basket, some were stained with oil, and some were sweet.

"This is dried beef, this is dried hawthorn..." Baosheng squinted at Xiao Erge, his tone was full of sarcasm, "Although it smells a little bit good, it's not something that can be elegant. But give It’s new for you, Ge Ge, and you’ll have to take advantage of those low-level servants in the future!”

Xiao Erge, who had been smiling all the time, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth after hearing this, "I'll let someone write this down, sorry for the trouble, auntie."

The little eunuch on the side ran to get the pen and paper, Xiao Erge grinned at Baosheng, slandering himself for his unnecessary actions, when he suddenly caught sight of the slight bulge under the basket.

"what are you doing?!"

Baosheng slapped Xiao Erge's hand away from the basket, "This is for Princesses to eat! Who gave you the guts to reach out and touch it!"

Xiao Erge's smiling face could not hold back at this time, "Auntie is too embarrassing for us today. After all, we all follow orders. What else is hidden under Auntie's basket, you can take it out yourself as soon as possible. For Big Gege's sake, the little ones don't want to get rough with you!"

"You are presumptuous!"

Baosheng's face turned pale, and he firmly protected the basket with one hand, "I'm Da Gege's close maid, and it's not your turn to lecture me in this house! Want to be rough? Do you dare to try?" !"

"Yo, what's the matter?"

When the swords were on the verge of breaking out here, Mrs. Li, the Fujin, brought a few maidservants around from the side corridor, "I heard you yelling from a long distance away, do you really think there is no master in this mansion?"

"Greetings to Fang Fujin!"

Baosheng and Xiao Erge immediately bowed to salute, Baosheng's hand on the basket began to tremble slightly.

"what happened?"

Mrs. Li walked up to several people slowly, and asked Xiao Erge.

"Back to Fujin," Xiao Erge glanced at Baosheng, but still left room in his mouth, "Baosheng brought food for Gege when he left the mansion. According to the rules, he can't bring it into the mansion. The slave wants to take it, but Baosheng Not very willing."

Mrs. Li raised her chin, her tone was very impatient, "What a big deal I am, now even the things sent by my mother's family can't enter the house, and you, a servant, are fighting against you. Give the things to Xiao Erge , stop making a fuss here!"

"Yes……"

Baosheng didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Li, blessed himself, and his voice was very low.

Xiao Erge turned around to take the basket, and noticed Baosheng's eager eyes.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Shi's voice was very abrupt, Xiao Erge and Baosheng were both startled.

Somehow, Xiao Erge had an intuition that he might have done something wrong today.

"Empty out everything in the basket, let me see!"

Li Shi's voice was a little soft, but it made people quite frightened.

Baosheng pursed his lips, and gently lifted the top red cloth.

"Cian Fujin asked you to pour out everything! Don't you understand?"

This time it was Li Shi's eldest maid, Xi'er, who spoke.

By now, anyone can guess what is hidden in Baosheng's basket.

Xiao Erge's heart also started beating wildly, and only now did he realize that he had misunderstood the matter before.

He always thought that the things in the basket were caused by Baosheng himself, but he forgot that Baosheng was probably there to do something for Da Gege.If there is something shady in the girl's house, if someone picks it up at this time, wouldn't it be life-threatening?

Seeing that Baosheng stretched out his hand under the basket with slight veins showing, Xiao Erge's mind was already in a mess.

Li frowned and watched, the red cloth at the bottom was slowly uncovered.

"Wait a moment!"

The subconscious panic made Xiao Erge hold Baosheng down. Before Li Shi could speak, a voice came from behind, "Slave, send your respects to Fang Fujin!"

Mrs. Li was taken aback, and turned around with several maids, it was Grand Duke Su.

"Grandpa Su, get up quickly."

"Xie Fujin," Su Wei stood up and bent slightly, "The servant is about to send mountain mushrooms to Fujin. They are all just delivered from Dashang Ula. It's best to stew chicken soup at noon."

"I'm sorry, Eunuch Su." Li knew that this was to make up for the fact that her natal family's things were sent away yesterday, but she couldn't vent her anger when facing Su Peisheng. "It just so happens that Eunuch Su is here. Let's see what the hell this girl Baosheng is doing. All right, the house is full of smog."

"Yes, it's because the servants are ignorant, and let Fang Fujin worry about it," Su Wei bent forward, his eyes never falling on Xiao Erge and Baosheng, he took the basket in Baosheng's hand, and put Everything fell to the ground.

Except for a few oil bags, there are only two paper-cut figures under the red cloth, which look crude and look like they were bought at a stall at a temple fair.

"How old is Mo Yaqi now, why are you still greedy for these children's playthings?" Mrs. Li gouged out Baosheng's eyes, but did not pursue it to the end.

After seeing off Mrs. Li, Su Wei took Xiao Erge and Baosheng to the nearest Buddhist scripture building.

Xiao Erge glanced at Baosheng, and took out two books from his bosom.

These two rough-bound books are the real things hidden under the basket. Su Wei opened the two books and looked at them. It is not a rare thing, but a remnant copy of "Longtu Gongan", which is actually The predecessor of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" in later generations tells the story of Bao Gong's verdict.

Su Wei has read the entire book in the fourth elder brother's study, but it is indeed rare in the market, and it is almost like a banned book for the boudoir.

"Did Gege want to see it?" Su Wei looked up at Baosheng.

Baosheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Why would Big Gege think of reading this kind of book?" Su Wei frowned slightly, "Even if you want to read it, you don't have to be so sneaky. Although "Longtu Gongan" is not suitable for girls, it is not a bad book, my lord." It has never restricted the grids to read."

Baosheng pursed his lips, hesitated for a long time and didn't speak.

Su Wei lowered his head and opened the two fragmented copies again, and found a lot of annotations in the middle of the book. When he came to the last page, he finally saw a name that surprised him, "Li Wei?!"
