Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 49 years

October [-], Forbidden City

Enter the palace from the Donghua Gate, cross the Jinshui River, and follow the foot of the south wall all the way to the Meridian Gate, and you will be able to see the cabinet.

From time to time, court officials and eunuchs running errands came in and out of the wide-open courtyard door, some of them walked quickly to the Qianqing Palace, and some left the Forbidden City to go to other yamen.

The backyard of the cabinet is much quieter, and it has been set aside for Prince Yong to handle political affairs in recent days.Prince Yong stayed here most of the time, except to accompany him to Qianqing Palace at noon every day.

The door of the main room was half open, and the west room was separated by a screen. Outside the door, there were only two father-in-laws, Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin, waiting on them. Anyone who wanted to come in had to wait for the return.

However, this afternoon was a bit special. The little eunuch guarding the backyard door rarely saw Zhang Qilin's face, and hurriedly went up to him and said, "Eunuch Zhang, but what does the lord need? Just give me an order, and the servant will go for you. "

"No, no need," Zhang Qilin waved his hand leisurely, "It's finally easy to breathe a sigh of relief, our family also went out for a walk."

The little eunuch was a little confused, so Zhang Qilin didn't bother to explain, he just hummed a little song and walked outside.

In the extremely quiet Xili Room, there was not even a single person serving pen and ink.

The fourth elder brother sat alone behind the desk, with the pen in his hand on the paper, but the ink on the pen tip was already half dry.

"How long are you going to stand there stupidly?!"

The cool voice blew through the mahogany and emerald bamboo screen, causing the person hiding behind the carved door to freeze suddenly.

The fourth elder brother lowered his eyelids and changed a pen again, and the person behind the door slowly leaned out half of his body.

"Since you're here, just speak up if you have something to say. I'm very busy, and I don't bother to argue with you."

The fourth elder brother dipped the pen in the ink, but there was no trace when the pen was written. Only then did he realize that the ink in the inkstone had congealed at some point.

Su Wei pursed his lips, walked to the table in two tight steps, and rubbed the ink for the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother snorted coldly, as if he didn't appreciate it, put down the pen, raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, but froze again.

The person in front of him looks quite energetic, but his chin is slightly pointed, his cheeks are less fleshy, and his eyes are round and big.

…………

"Little Yingzi!"

With a sudden roar, Li Ying, who was listening to the sound outside the door with Zhang Bao, jumped up in place.

"It's over, it's over, I know..."

Xiaoyingzi shook his hands vigorously twice, walked into the room with a mournful face and bowed his waist, "Slave greets the prince."

"Any fart!"

A red sandalwood and silver pen holder hit Li Ying with a "bang", and the poor little Yingzi trembled like chaff.

"Is this how you serve your master?!"

The fourth elder brother looked at those big eyes and became more disturbed, "Go back to the palace and get forty boards!"

"The slave knows his mistake, the slave knows his mistake," Xiaoyingzi kowtowed repeatedly, complaining bitterly in his heart.

"Oh, I'm fine, why punish Xiaoyingzi?"

Grandpa Su received the distress signal from his apprentice, and stretched out his hand to tug on the cuff of the fourth elder brother, "There are so many things going on in the mansion, it's time to employ people..."

A certain person is small and gentle, although the fourth elder brother is not angry, but it is quite useful, "Go back and get ten boards, half the year limit!"

"Yes Yes!"

The memorial on the table was slapped away vigorously, Xiaoyingzi quickly seized the opportunity and crawled out all the way.

Grandpa Su withdrew his hand, and continued to stand by the table, silently studying ink, very obedient and quiet.

As the sun gradually set to the west, Zhang Bao didn't bother to talk to Xiao Yingzi who was overly frightened, and just stretched his neck and looked at the half-open courtyard door.

Finally, Grandpa Zhang Qilin came late with a small, leisurely step, carrying a food box.

In the quiet house, the fourth elder brother looked focused. When Zhang Bao entered the door with the food box, his heels were raised.

Although Zhang Qilin lingered when he went, he didn't dare to delay when he came back, the snacks in the food box were still steaming.

Glutinous rice cakes with osmanthus bean paste, milk pastry sandwiched with crushed walnuts, and small dumplings stuffed with fresh mutton.

Zhang Bao didn't dare to say much, he put the snacks on the table, and then retreated carefully.

The fourth elder brother who had been concentrating on the memorial stopped, looked sideways at the snacks on the table, and said in a slightly soft voice, "The milk and pastry palace is doing well, you can eat a few more pieces. "

The ink grinder stopped slowly, hesitated for a while, and reached out to pick up a piece of snack.

The sound of chewing like a small animal, with a little cautiousness and secret satisfaction, is like a soft-bristled brush slowly sweeping past a person's ear.

The fourth elder brother's brushwork paused, but the voice next to his ear could not be ignored.The words in front of him are clearly recognized, but they don't enter his mind.

"Clap" sounded.

The pen fell to the table, and the fourth elder brother sighed heavily as if resigned to his fate.

Following Grandpa Su who was stunned, before swallowing the pastry in his mouth, the world turned around before his eyes, and he fell into an unusually familiar embrace.

"You're crazy, here's—"

Su Wei was about to hit a carp, but was pushed back hard again.

"There is someone guarding the door, who can see it?"

The fourth elder brother held Su Wei's waist and fixed him on his lap. Looking at his bulging cheeks and thin chin, he felt helpless and distressed.

"It's only been a few days, toss yourself like this!"

Su Wei touched his face following the eyes of the fourth elder brother, and then felt aggrieved, "You are angry with me, and you don't go back home. I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and I still have injuries on my body, so it's no wonder if I don't lose meat!"

The fourth elder brother was at a loss for words, held back for a while, and said with a wry smile, "I'm not angry with you."

Eunuch Su was puzzled, he was obviously just picking a fight, and he didn't go home after the quarrel, and now he doesn't admit it, could it be that the period of rebellion has come?

"Okay, okay," the fourth elder brother didn't know how to explain it. With the relationship between the two of them, it seems that he is hypocritical now, "It's my fault, I apologize to you. Call Ding Qi to take a look later. A few nourishing prescriptions, don’t let the root of the disease fall.”

Su Wei snorted, and finished the milk cake in his hand in twos and twos, but he was very proud of himself.A man must be able to bend and stretch. With the fourth elder brother, there is no one who can't handle it like Grandpa Su!

In the evening, Xipei Hospital

Because Shiyue's appetite has been poor these days, Xu'er went to the big kitchen in person, quietly ordered money, and ordered several special dishes from the master chef.When I came back, the evening breeze was cool, but I saw the window of the inner hall was open, and my master was sitting by the window.

"Little Master!"

Xu'er hurried into the room, "Why are you sitting here? You're still sick."

"I'm fine," Shiyue forced a smile at Xu'er, and let her close the window in a hurry, "It's just that my chest is tight for a while, and I want to breathe."

"Then wait until tomorrow, when the sun comes out, and this servant will accompany you for a walk in the garden."

Xu'er brought the food box to the table, "Today I asked the master to add several dishes, all of which are your favorites. It just so happens that the prince came back, the big kitchen is busy, and there is still an old duck soup that I haven't made yet." .”

"The lord is back?" Shiyue raised her head slightly, "The lord hasn't returned to the mansion for several days."

"No, at least six or seven days," Xu'er said casually while laying out the bowls and chopsticks, "but Eunuch Su has entered the palace today, and he will come back with the prince tonight. It seems that Eunuch Su persuaded You have to move the prince, no matter how diligent you are, you have to pay attention..."

When Xu'er raised her head after setting the dishes and chopsticks, she noticed Shiyue's increasingly lonely expression, and hurriedly stopped talking, "My lord, this servant is just listening to people talking nonsense. Come and eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while."

Shiyue raised her head slowly, and twitched the corners of her mouth, "It's rare that there are so many delicious ones. I remember there are still a few jars of jujube wine in the library. Go and take them out. Let's drink them tonight."

"Ah?" Xu'er was a little confused, "But you are still taking medicine. Doctor Cheng specially ordered you not to drink alcohol."

"It's okay, it's rare for me to be so interested." Shiyue sat down at the round table and took Raxuer's hand, "Good Xuer, just treat it as a pastime with me, at worst, just stop taking medicine for a day tomorrow."

"That……"

Xu'er hesitated for a while, but finally wanted to make the young master happy, so she finally agreed.

Into the night

Baosheng brought hot water and walked into the big bedroom. Mo Yaqi was leaning on the soft couch, holding a half-open book in his hand, but he was staring at the moon shadow on the window lattice in a daze.

Baosheng shook his head secretly, and pretended not to notice, he casually said, "Er Gege doesn't come to play these days, and I heard that he was arrested by Li Fangfujin again to learn the rules."

Mo Yaqi shook his head, and reluctantly responded, "Li Erniang is also for Yierha's good."

Baosheng stopped talking, wet the cloth towel and handed it to Mo Yaqi, "Servant please wash up, reading too much at night is not good for your eyes."

Mo Yaqi nodded lightly, and was about to go to bed, when the door of the outer hall rang, the little maid came in quickly, and said to Mo Yaqi, "Big Gege, Mr. Su is here, and he wants to see you. "

Mo Yaqi was taken aback for a moment, her body felt a little cold.

Baosheng hurriedly supported her, and comforted her in a low voice, "Grandpa Su must have chosen this time to come here because he was afraid of alarming others. Besides, it's been so many days, if something happens, it will happen sooner."

Mo Yaqi pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said to the little maid, "Please come in, Eunuch Su."

"Yes," the little maid took the order and left.

After a while, Su Wei followed the little maid into the house.

"My servant greets Da Gege," Su Wei leaned over to salute, "I came back late today, so I disturbed Da Gege to rest."

"Su Gonggong, get up quickly, Baosheng will move a stool for Su Gonggong," Mo Yaqi was still a little nervous, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Yes," Baosheng moved the round stool to the side of the soft couch, exchanged a glance with Mo Yaqi and then slightly bowed, "This servant is going to pour tea for Eunuch Su, Eunuch Su sit down slowly."

Baosheng left the room with the little maid, only Mo Yaqi and Su Peisheng were left in the room.

The air was a little frozen, and Mo Yaqi didn't dare to look at Su Peisheng's face, but only clutched the handkerchief and lowered his head.

On the contrary, Eunuch Su has nothing to hide. After all, he watched the child grow up, and his mood at this time is really mixed.

Both of them were silent for a while, but it was Su Wei who spoke first, "When the slave was going out the day before yesterday, he ran into Li Wei."
