Dressed as Su Peisheng

June of the 28th year of Kangxi

Ganxi No. [-] Institute

Ninth elder brother was sitting at the round table with a mournful face, and tenth elder brother was fiddling with two account books, "Ninth elder brother, why don't you tell me Erniang, or Yifei empress, if there are slaves stealing things during the chaos, what a big deal Woolen cloth."

Brother Jiu pouted, "How do you say that I lost two jade pendants and a chamber pot? My mother-in-law will despise me to death, maybe I didn't punish the servant to beat me first. Besides, how did I lose it now? I haven't figured out how many were lost, how embarrassing it is to spread the word."

Elder Brother Ten lowered his head, "Then wait for Mynah, Mynah must have a solution."

When the eighth elder brother entered the ninth elder brother's courtyard, the chief eunuchs had already knelt on the ground, "Yinzhen, what's going on?"

Ninth elder brother kept his head depressed and did not speak, tenth elder brother walked to eighth elder brother, "The eunuchs put the rewards from the palace into the treasury, but the results did not match the list of rewards, and the one who liquidated yesterday is not the same as the one who liquidated today. Same, Brother Nine is angry."

The eighth elder brother walked behind the ninth elder brother and patted him on the head, "It's just such a small matter, why are you so angry. We just moved to the palace and there are a lot of chores. It's normal for the eunuchs to be in a hurry. The eighth elder brother will help you reset Reason it out, if you really want to make up for the lack of starlings, let people check carefully later, and you will always be able to catch the thief."

Brother Jiu scratched his head, "Thank you myna, my brother does not lack those jade pendants, but I just don't like slaves fooling me."

The eighth elder brother smiled, and opened the account book to have a look, "Ninth brother really has a talent for doing business, this account book is clearly set up, it's just that the eunuchs didn't remember to be careful when they entered the warehouse."

The ninth elder brother smiled and sat down next to the eighth elder brother. The tenth elder brother also came over. Several people checked the roster carefully, and asked the steward to re-register the items in the warehouse. The last check revealed that two jade pendants were lost.

The chief eunuch checked one by one, and the little eunuch with dirty hands and feet was quickly picked out, and was sent to the Department of Punishment by Brother Jiu.

Yonghe Palace

The fourteenth elder brother was babbling and running around with his calves pierced in the inner hall, the nurses surrounded him to prevent him from falling, and Concubine De sat on the couch and watched with a smile.

Qingju came in with a bowl of white fungus pear soup, "Madam, this soup has been in the soup for half an hour, it's slightly chilly, it's just right to eat."

Concubine De drank two spoonfuls, and it was really cool and refreshing, "Yinti, come, come to Er Niang."

The fourteenth elder brother ran back with a smile, and bumped into De Fei's arms, and De Fei scooped up a spoonful of pear soup to feed him.

Qing Ju watched from the side, and said cautiously, "My servant heard that the emperor intends to give Brother Fourteen to be raised by Noble Concubine Wen Xi, but was suppressed by her."

Concubine De sighed, "I have raised thirteen elder brothers, and now I have added fourteenth elder brothers. Even if the little princess is taken away, there will be too many children here in this palace. It should be the emperor's intention to do so."

Qingju lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Recently, the imperial concubine has become kinder to us Yonghe Palace."

Concubine De put down the bowl and wiped the corners of the fourteenth elder brother's mouth, "This man is afraid of getting sick. If he gets sick for a long time, his vitality will be exhausted..."

Qing Ju didn't reply, Concubine De propped herself up, and said to the nursing mothers, "Take Elder Fourteen down to take a nap."

"Yes," the nurses came down with the fourteenth elder brother in their arms.

Concubine De put on her armor, and said in a low voice, "How is the person chosen for the fourth elder brother?"

Qingju took two steps forward, "Your Majesty's order, this slave girl thinks that Li's daughter is very good. Father is just a general judge in the whole family, and he doesn't have a big background. He is also beautiful and has a lively personality."

"En..." Concubine De picked up the tea bowl, "Tomorrow, you can show me her roster, if there are no problems, find a good nanny to teach, and send it to the fourth elder brother at the end of the year. "

"Yes," Qing Ju leaned over.

Sho San Institute

Atrium West Wing Room

Mrs. Song was sitting on the side porch, and Bi'er was gently shaking her fan.

Zhang Qilin asked someone to bring ice cubes in, "My lord, this is specially ordered by the fourth elder brother to serve you."

Mrs. Song nodded lightly, "I'm sorry, Eunuch Zhang, please thank fourth elder brother for me."

Zhang Qilin bowed and smiled, but Song Shi turned her head and looked into the distance again and was stupefied.

Zhang Qilin pursed his lips, "Song Gege, the fourth elder brother often reads until late at night recently, if you sleep late, you might as well bring some snacks to read, and it will save... save the fourth elder brother the loneliness of studying alone."

Song Gege looked back at Zhang Qilin, lowered his head and said softly, "I see, thank you, Eunuch Zhang."

Zhang Qilin lowered his head, bowed and stepped back.

East wing of the main hall

Holding the bowl, Su Wei stared at the fourth elder brother sitting next to him who was eating happily, in a daze.Ever since that bowl of soup was soaked in rice, the fourth elder brother began to like to eat some messy things with Su Wei.

For example, today, the fourth elder brother who came back from the shooting range gave up the milk tea, shortbread, and mung bean cake carefully made by the chef, and came to grab his meal.

Su Wei, who was changing shifts, slept until the afternoon today, and moved his lunch to the evening.The dishes Xiao Erge left for him included pork loofah slices, scallion tofu, beef in clear sauce and a bowl of egg custard, all of which were warmed in a large pot on the stove, making them a little stale.For a slave, Su Wei's food is definitely top-notch, but it is still very different from the master's food.

However, the fourth elder brother didn't care at all, so he ate a large bowl of rice with a bowl of egg custard, and when he was done, he also sandwiched two chopsticks of beef and melon slices with steamed buns. It seemed that Su Wei was full before eating.

Swallowing the last mouthful of steamed buns, the fourth elder brother clapped his hands, "Well, the egg custard is pretty good, but the tofu is not tender, let them make it for you with freshly marinated tofu tomorrow."

"Okay," Su Wei maintained the posture of holding the bowl, watching the back of the fourth elder brother leaving gracefully.

into the night,

Su Wei wiped his feet and was about to get comfortable on the bed when Zhang Qilin rushed in without knocking on the door, "Eunuch Su, Eunuch Su, Song Gege has entered the fourth elder brother's study."

Su Wei sat up suddenly, Zhang Qilin pulled the stool and sat down facing Su Wei.

"What's going on?" Su Wei asked.

Zhang Qilin smiled complacently, "Of course it's my father-in-law's credit. During the day, I hinted at Song Gege's delivery of supper at the fourth elder brother's house. No, I'll do it tonight!"

Su Wei glanced at Zhang Qilin contemptuously, "Song Gege is going to see Brother Si, not you, why are you so happy?"

Zhang Qilin had an expression of "Don't you understand?", "I'm the chief eunuch of the middle court now, and I'm serving the mistresses here. If the fourth elder brother is not good at personnel, let me guard a group of nominal ones, then what's the difference? What is the difference when I was in Kunning Palace? Now, I have managed to get to a popular place, and I must do a great job, like Eunuch Liang and Eunuch Gu!"

Zhang Qilin clenched his fists, clamped his cheeks, and made a posture of struggling young people in the 21st century. Su Wei blinked twice, turned around and lay down on the pillow.

"Hey? Eunuch Su, don't sleep. Let me tell you, don't look at us as eunuchs, and we can't just do nothing and waste our lives... Hey, Eunuch Su, brother Peisheng, get up, let's talk, I will talk to you." You said, I planned it this way..."

in the study

The fourth elder brother flipped through the brochure that Huang Ama lent him to read, and Mrs. Song leaned over and gave a blessing, "Si elder brother, I made two plates of pastries by myself, you have time to taste them."

"Well," the fourth elder brother flipped through the booklet, "put it aside."

Bi Er put the cakes on the kang table, Seeing that the fourth elder brother didn't look up, Mrs. Song wanted to lean over and leave, but Bi Er held her up.

Bi'er winked at Brother Si's table, and squeezed Song's hand slightly.

Mrs. Song pursed her lips and took two steps forward. Wang Chaoqing, who was serving her personally, hurriedly retreated, beckoning the little eunuchs in the room to retreat.

Song went to the desk, carefully picked up the ink ingot, and began to grind the ink.The fourth elder brother looked up at her and didn't say anything.

When the red sleeves add fragrance, the silence of the night disturbs human feelings

The atmosphere of Zhengsan Institute was a bit more hazy than before, but it was broken by a hasty knock on the door during the second watch.

The eunuch guarding the gate opened the corner gate, and the father-in-law who was facing him showed the badge of Chengqian Palace, "The imperial concubine is seriously ill, please hurry to the palace to serve the sick."

When the little eunuch came to report, Mrs. Song was serving Si elder brother to eat snacks.

The half-bitten mung bean cake fell on the couch, and the word "Huang Guifei is seriously ill" was like a hammer hammering on the heart of the fourth elder brother.Since the imperial concubine lost her little princess, she has been ill many times, but she has never called the fourth elder brother into the palace in such a hurry in the middle of the night like this.

But this time, one can imagine how important the word "serious illness" is.

Wang Chaoqing hurried into the room, calling the little eunuchs to get busy.Get water for the fourth elder brother to freshen up, change clothes, and tidy up common things.

Mrs. Song stood aside in a daze, and the room was full of people coming and going, and she was very busy for a while.

A little eunuch brought a python robe, "Si elder brother, change your clothes."

After being stabbed by Bi'er, Mrs. Song immediately reacted and took the clothes, "Si elder brother..."

However, I don't know if Song's voice is too low, or the room is too noisy, Si elder brother just sat on the couch motionless as if he didn't hear it.

A group of people surrounded the fourth elder brother and didn't know what to do for a while.

Until, a clear voice sounded at the door, "Be safe, what are you doing in such a mess?"

Mrs. Song looked towards the door, and an eunuch wearing a quail patch came over and smiled at her, "My lord, give the clothes to the servant."

Su Wei took the boa robe and looked at it twice, "This won't work, bring the casual clothes with rubbed yarn." The little eunuch took the order, and Su Wei bowed down and whispered in the fourth elder brother's ear, "Master, let's go to the bedroom to wash and change clothes. , the imperial concubine is still waiting there."

The fourth elder brother looked at Su Wei, seemed to have woken up suddenly, put on his shoes quickly and walked towards the bedroom, and when he was about to leave, he told Song Shi, "You go back and rest first, the queen mother has an order, and I will go back to the bedroom again." Send someone to pick you up."

Cheng Qiangong

When the fourth elder brother arrived, there was a bright yellow figure sitting in the main hall.

"Huang Ama," the fourth prince hurriedly knelt down to salute, the emperor's voice was deep and vicissitudes, "Don't be too polite, go in and see your queen mother."

Su Wei followed the fourth elder brother and walked to the inner hall. His heart was already in the air, and the emperor was alarmed. This time, I'm afraid...

The fourth elder brother stepped into the imperial concubine's bedroom, the queen mother was sitting by the bed, the high-ranking concubines were standing in the middle of the room, and a concubine with a face was kneeling under the bed.The strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine permeated the room, but it was difficult to conceal a trace of blood.

"Is Yinzhen here?" The imperial concubine's weak voice sounded, "Come here, show the empress."

The fourth elder brother took a deep breath and suppressed the sourness welling up in his nose. He was the only child of the Queen Mother, so he couldn't cry at this time.

Yinzhen knelt on the imperial concubine's footbed, the imperial concubine's hand gently caressed the top of the fourth elder brother's head, Yinzhen lowered his head, not daring to look at the pale face of the imperial concubine but his extraordinarily bright red lips.

The sound of sobbing gradually resounded in the room, and the imperial concubine closed her eyes, "Who is crying? I'm not dead yet."

The queen mother patted the imperial concubine's hand, "It's about this time, don't get angry, Aijia led them out, you two have a good talk."

The imperial concubine nodded lightly, "Ye Ruo stay."

"Yes," the fourth elder brother turned to look at the young woman beside him.

Su Wei stood at the door of the inner hall, watching the concubines come out or stand or sit, a kind of heavy vicissitudes made people breathless.
