Dressed as Su Peisheng

The 31st year of Kangxi has just passed

At the entrance of the Town God's Temple in Beijing, lanterns and festoons are hung, and there is a festive atmosphere for the New Year.

Among the crowd, a young man in a brocade blue satin robe and a purple-black fur coat was quite eye-catching.The white and reddish cheeks on the black fur collar were being bulging with a candied haws. When passing peddlers saw this young man and the huge paper bag in his arms, they would yell loudly.

Su Wei gnawed the candied haws into pieces, poked his head to a small stall selling knots, and said that he would not eat the candied haws in modern times.The moth-eaten hawthorn is so sweet that the icing is so sticky that you can't open your mouth when you bite it down.

But in ancient times, Su Weicai realized that what he ate in his previous life was all defective products.The sugar skin is neither thin nor thick, sweet and palatable, and it breaks when you bite it. The sugar flakes are mixed with the sour mountain red in the mouth, and the mouth is full of the fresh fragrance of the fruit.Su Wei clicked off a whole bunch happily and let out a sour belch.

Sho San Institute

Xiao Erge sat on the porch and yawned lazily. After working for more than a month, the New Year's Eve finally passed.The fourth elder brother resumed the regular life of going to court and studying, and their slaves can be lazy.No, Eunuch Su ran out of the palace to play while he was not on duty today.

"Fujin auspicious."

Xiao Erge was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to take a look, and quickly stood up to salute, "Your servant is participating in Fujin."

"Get up," Fujin replied softly, and was supported by the palace maid out of the side door.

Xiao Erge saw the sedan chair parked outside the door, thinking that Fujin was going to Yonghe Palace to pay his respects.

It should be said that after Fujin entered the house, there were a lot more rules in the backyard, but at least the extra population did not cause any trouble, Xiao Erge still admired it.

Years ago, Fujin inexplicably punished Eunuch Su once. The fourth elder brother seemed to be angry, but in the end he didn't do anything to Fujin, and even punished Li Gege, who had always been favored. Xiao Erge secretly thought that this was probably the weight of the mistress .

"Eunuch Xiao, Eunuch Xiao," a little eunuch ran over and hurriedly called Xiao Erge, "Eunuch Xiao, the fourth elder brother is looking for Eunuch Su everywhere."

Xiao Erge was stunned, swallowed his saliva, and stood up rather stiffly. He said that it was unreliable to go out of the palace. Eunuch Su didn't believe it, so he didn't even think about it. of?

Yonghe Palace

Fujin greeted Concubine De, and Concubine De waved her hand, "Sit down quickly, the snow outside is not clean yet, you still have to travel all the way here."

Fujin walked slowly to the chair and sat down, "It's the daughter-in-law's duty to greet Erniang, besides, the daughter-in-law also wants to come and chat with Erniang, if she has the opportunity to learn some of Erniang's grace and demeanor, it will be the daughter-in-law's blessing .”

"You child," Concubine De leaned back, and said in a gentle voice, "Have Yinzhen started studying recently? This child doesn't care about anything as soon as he gets into learning. In his yard, you have more to do." worry."

"Emiang, don't worry," Fujin whispered, "My daughter-in-law also understands some things. Si elder brother's going to court and studying are important things. Daughter-in-law must take care of the backyard so that fourth elder brother will not be distracted."

Concubine De smiled, "You are a sensible person, how about those two Princesses?"

Fujin lowered his head, "Song Gege understands the rules, and the fourth elder brother also likes it. Li Gege is a little more lively. He was grounded by the fourth elder brother a year ago, and he has also come out for a walk recently. It seems that he has quieted down a lot."

"Then Mrs. Li is from a small family." Concubine De picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "At first it was sent in to relieve the boredom of the fourth elder brother, you just need to take care of it."

"Yes," Fujin slightly bowed.

Concubine De smiled, "At the end of the day, this Gege is just for the family, and you are the big deal here. Nowadays, there are quite a few elder brothers who are married, but none of them have a son. You should work hard, don't blindly He kept to the rules and missed the good years."

Fujin froze for a moment, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he nodded slightly.

After chatting for a while, Fujin resigned.

Watching Fujin walk out of the palace gate, Qingju went to Concubine De and said in a low voice, "Mother, this Fujin—"

"He's a pretty smart kid, but it's hard to tell anyone in the future," Concubine De stood up and walked into the room, "Let's just wait and see..."

Su Wei happily entered the third office with his things in his hands, and a few eunuchs at the door saluted him, and he happily distributed a pack of crisp candies to everyone.

Pushing open the door of the hut, Su Wei was still humming, "I'm so happy to be an ordinary person today..." When he saw the person sitting on the bed in the room, he wanted to sing Xiaobaicai instantly.

"Master..." Su Wei shrank his neck and leaned over. It wasn't because he was timid, it was because the fourth elder brother had a bad face.

"Master, do you eat candy?" Su Wei handed over a pack of crispy candies as a tribute.

The fourth elder brother didn't answer and sat still. Su Wei withdrew his hand, lowered his head and turned over again, "There are beef jerky, Lao Fu Kee's, it's delicious..."

"Have you enjoyed playing?" Fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows, his voice sank to the bottom.

Su Wei put his big bag a little far away, lowered his head and dawdled over, "It's okay...not very happy..."

The fourth elder brother leaned against the bedpost, and raised his voice, "Oh? Why are you unhappy? I didn't see it at all. When I went out with my master, why didn't I see you humming a ditty?"

Su Wei scratched his head, "There are too many people... I'm sorry..."

"Su Peisheng!" The fourth elder brother scolded, and Xiao Erge, who was eavesdropping at the door, was taken aback. Nothing will happen.

A black head came up from behind, and Xiao Erge, who was in distress, shuddered, "Eunuch Zhang, you are going to scare people to death!"

"Hush!" Zhang Qilin gesticulated and said with a suppressed voice, "What are you listening to? Let me listen too." Xiao Erge squinted his eyes and turned sideways.

However, when the two of them moved towards the door, there was silence in the room.

After a while, Eunuch Su screamed and the two jumped up in fright. After their eyes met, Zhang Qilin patted his sleeves, "The water in the tea room is still hot, I'll go and see."

Xiao Erge was stunned for a moment, "The rabbits in the backyard haven't been fed yet, I'll go and have a look."

Ignore these two people who have no loyalty, the hut is full of swords and swords at this moment.

Su Wei was half lying on the bed, clutching the token tightly in his hand, while the fourth elder brother was pulling the rope, regardless of the fact that the other side was still attached to Su Peisheng's belt, and started to pull back, "You are unruly, how dare you carry the token on your back?" I'm going out to play by myself! Take the token off for me!"

"No," Su Wei leaned half sideways, pressing his arm hard, "This token has been given to the servant, and I can't take it back!"

"You can't take it if you say you can't take it?" The fourth elder brother half-hanging his body backwards, "Ben elder brother will take it back now! Let me go!"

Su Wei stepped onto the bedpost with one leg, tilted his body and tried his best, "No, master's words don't count!"

"let go!"

"Not loose!"

"Is it loose?"

"Not loose!"

Half an hour later, there were two panting people sitting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. Su Wei's clothes were wrinkled, and he was entrenched on the head of the bed in a twisted posture.The fourth elder brother is quite chic, with his back leaning on the bedpost, one foot on the bed, and his hands are red from pulling the rope.

Su Wei got up with the token in his hands, his braids were messily wrapped around his neck, and he leaned towards the fourth elder brother, "Master, don't be angry, the slave bought you a gift."

The fourth elder brother squinted at him, "What gift?"

Su Wei was happy, and rummaged through his big bag with bare feet, and finally took out a rather exquisite brocade box.

The fourth elder brother took the box and opened it, inside lay a jade pendant, the quality of the jade is quite good, it is not considered expensive in the palace, but it is definitely a good thing among the people.The most important thing is that the center of Yuhuan is not a pattern of blessings and longevity, but a Chinese character "皇".

Su Wei sat beside him, his eyes shining brightly. This jade pendant cost 200 taels of silver, but he resolutely bought it when he saw the word in the middle.

The fourth elder brother played with the jade pendant in his hand for a while, and then "cut" a little, "You want to bribe the master with just one piece of jade pendant? Show me the other things too!"

Su Wei pursed his mouth and took the bag to the bed. The fourth elder brother picked and picked in it, and took away a bag of tea, two bags of candy ears, half a catty of beef jerky, and even the roast goose that Su Wei packed back was missing two legs.

Evening

The fourth elder brother came back from the shooting ground, changed his clothes and prepared to eat, Kukui came in and reported, "Fu Jin sent someone to invite them, saying that Fujin cooked the dishes himself."

The fourth elder brother sat at the table, poked the two duck legs with his chopsticks, finally stood up with a sigh and said, "Go to the back."

In the main hall of the atrium, Fujin and the fourth elder brother sat face to face. The fourth elder brother looked at the six dishes on the table. There were meat and vegetables, and the color was light and elegant.

Fu Jin pursed his lips, raised his head slightly and said, "He Jing just came to Si Ye's side, and I don't know what you like to eat, so I'm pretty good at making a few, try it, if you don't like it, let the meal Serve the food."

"No need," the fourth elder brother held up the chopsticks, "I look pretty good, I'm not picky about food."

Liu Yu picked up a portion for the fourth elder brother from the back. The fourth elder brother tasted the vegetarian catfish first, nodded and said, "Not bad, the sour taste is moderate, and it is very delicious."

Fujin smiled slightly, and took another piece for the fourth elder brother, "I like it, I will do it next time with Jing."

"You are Fujin, just leave these small things to the servants," said the fourth elder brother after eating the fish.

Fujin lowered his head, "Wife regards her husband as heaven, your affairs are not trivial."

The fourth elder brother was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, just lowered his head and continued to eat.

After the plate was empty, Liu Yu took another piece of fish for the fourth elder brother. Seeing this, Fujin turned to the maid and said, "Take this dish down."

The fourth elder brother looked up at Fujin, Fujin turned his head and said with a smile, "I've eaten three spoonfuls of this dish, it's a taboo to be greedy, and it still makes people miss me when I put it on the table, I'll serve it to my master tomorrow."

The fourth elder brother nodded slightly, "Alright."

into the night,

The fourth elder brother stayed in Fujin's house, and after the bang of the second watch, the fourth elder brother fell into a deep sleep.

Fujin quietly got out of bed, walked to the inner hall, Shi Yao who was on duty at night quickly got up and said, "Fujin, why are you up?"

Fujin smiled, blushing, "I can't sleep, I always turn over, for fear of disturbing the fourth elder brother."

Shi Yao put on clothes for Fujin, "You, this is so happy. The servant girl said, seeing people's hearts as time goes by, these days must be getting better every day."

Fujin nodded Shiyao's forehead, "You're the one who talks too much..."

Shi Yao smiled, helped Fujin to sit down, beside the couch were the clothes that the fourth elder brother had taken off, Fujin opened his hand to straighten it, in a trance, a jade pendant hanging on his belt touched Fujin's hand.Fujin held up the jade pendant and took a closer look, and found a word "禧" dangling in the center.

Fujin's heart suddenly turned cold, "Zhen" is the name of the fourth elder brother, no matter whether it is an envoy from the Ministry of Internal Affairs or a reward from the palace, this word will not be directly printed on it, and it is easy to make a taboo.Then it can only be bought by the fourth elder brother outside, or given by someone else.

If you bought it, depending on the quality of the jade, I'm afraid it won't be good enough for the fourth elder brother.

If it was sent by someone, who would it be?The jade pendant with names and taboos is printed on it, but the fourth elder brother wears it next to his body. If there is such a person, what kind of weight will she have in the fourth elder brother's heart?

In the early morning of the next day, Fujin helped the fourth elder brother change his clothes. The fourth elder brother squinted his eyes and seemed a little tired.

When Fujin's reigning fourth elder brother put on his belt, he pretended to be unintentional and said, "This jade pendant is so unique, it's actually my name."

The fourth elder brother lowered his head, said "En", wiped off the moisture on the jade pendant with his thumb, and arranged the position himself.

Fujin stood up with some hesitation, looked at the fourth elder brother and said, "He Jing heard that it is not good to put personal names on these external objects, especially jade. If it is accidentally broken, it will affect the luck."

The fourth elder brother glanced at Fujin, his face tightened, and he turned and walked towards the door, "There are so many things to say."

Seeing this, Fujin quickly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, stepped forward two steps and said, "I also listened to people's gossip, don't take it to heart. Breakfast is prepared outside, please use some."

The fourth elder brother walked into the inner hall with a sullen face. Su Peisheng was standing by the table, and he was on duty today.

Seeing the fourth elder brother, Su Wei immediately greeted him with a smile, "Master, you are up, let's eat."

The fourth elder brother rubbed his stomach and sat down at the table, looked around at the porridge and side dishes, then turned to Su Wei and said, "Where's your roast goose yesterday?"

In the morning, Brother Si ate half a roast goose and a bowl of porridge. Fujin sat at the table and watched Su Peisheng dismantle the roast goose and put them into Brother Si's bowl piece by piece. He tried to open his mouth several times, but failed.

After breakfast, Fujin saluted and sent off the fourth elder brother, who just waved his hand and left the room.Looking at the back of the fourth elder brother walking away, Fujin realized that his palms that had been tense all the time were sweating coldly.

The weather is getting warmer, and Su Wei is in a good mood.Apart from the fact that the fourth elder brother sometimes stared at him and murmured, there was nothing serious about it recently.

Taking advantage of his spare time, Su Wei went to the respect room, and it was already afternoon when he returned to elder brother's place, and the side corridor was shady, Su Wei went over to sit down, but he didn't pay attention, only heard a slap, and his clothes were shattered. There was a wide gap in the splintered wood.

Su Wei pursed his lips, tugged at the flying fabric, and walked towards his hut angrily, only to bump into a hurried figure when he turned a corner.

With a "bang", Su Wei's jaw almost broke.

"Ah, Eunuch Su." A court lady in a light blue dress rubbed her forehead and bowed down to Su Weiyi apologetically.

"You are, Shiyue?" Su Wei rubbed his chin, looked at the maid, he remembered that this person was one of the grand maids of Fujin.

"Yes, little maid Shiyue, I was in a hurry to get things for Fujin, but I didn't see my father-in-law." Shiyue said in a series of authentic words.

"It's okay, it's okay," Su Wei waved his hand, "I didn't pay attention either, are you not injured?"

Shiyue rubbed her forehead, and smiled crisply, "No, Fujin is still waiting, the maidservant is leaving first, and I will come later to make amends to Su Gonggong."

"No, no," Su Wei smiled, "You go."

Su Wei returned to his hut and took out the clothes that had been mended with needlework.After traveling for more than ten years, he can be regarded as a little expert in life.If it was in his previous life, he would definitely buy a new one without looking at it.

In fact, Su Wei also has a lot of new clothes now, and the fourth elder brother will never shorten his expenses.But at least he lived a life of a poor slave, so he got used to it.And at present, Su Wei admires his simplicity very much.

After sewing the last stitch, Su Wei raised his work, looked at the crooked centipede, and nodded conceitedly.

In the midst of narcissism, someone knocked on Su Wei's door, Su Wei got up to open the door, Shiyue stood outside the door with a smile on her face.

"Eunuch Su," Shiyue bowed to Su Wei.

Su Wei scratched his head, "Miss Shiyue, is there something wrong?"

Shiyue lowered her head and took out a bright red pomegranate from the basket she was carrying, "This is what Fujin rewarded me just now, and I will take it to make up for Su Gonggong."

Su Wei waved his hand, "Eat it, it's not a big deal, don't do this."

"No," Shiyue stubbornly stuffed the pomegranate into Su Wei's hand, "My mother taught me that if I make a mistake, I have to take responsibility. I was the one who was reckless, so Eunuch Su must accept it."

Su Wei looked down at Pomegranate, then at Shiyue who was determined, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Okay then..."

Shiyue smiled, her eyes were on the clothes hanging in Su Wei's hands, "Grandpa Su, are the clothes torn?"

"Well," Su Wei shook up his clothes and showed off his work, "I've sewed it all up, look!"

Shiyue tilted her head and touched the centipede, "Eunuch Su, can you... still wear it?"

The sun was gradually setting to the west. Su Wei sat at the table with his head on his head, watching the little girl Shiyue across from him threading needles and threads. In fact, he felt that his craftsmanship was pretty good, so why couldn't he wear it?

With the last stitch lightly picked, Shiyue bit off the cotton thread, then took the scissors to remove the end of the thread, stretched the clothes and handed them to Su Wei, "Okay, Mr. Su."

Su Wei picked up the clothes and took a look. A dark green leaf was embroidered on the place where the centipede was crawling. The colors matched well and the patterns didn't conflict.

Shiyue smiled, "The shave is too big and not neat. The stitching alone is definitely not good-looking. I probably embroidered a leaf. Eunuch Su will wear it when he is not on duty."

Su Wei raised his head and smiled, "It's okay, it looks better than the original pattern." After finishing speaking, he grabbed a large handful of crispy candy from the drawer and handed it to Shiyue, "Thank you, Miss Shiyue, this is my thank you." You must also accept the gift."

Shiyue shrank her head and smiled, and wrapped all the crispy candies in a handkerchief, "Of course, the people who should accept them never refuse."
