61一行人一路缓缓回京。路上九难传了韦小宝一路拳法，见他不肯用心，道:“我传你一套逃跑的‘神行百变’吧。”韦小宝大喜道:“脚底能抹油，打架不用愁。师父快教。”
61 The party slowly returned to Beijing. On the way to Jiunan, he passed on Wei Xiaobao’s boxing skills all the way. Seeing that he was unwilling to pay attention, he said, “Let me pass you a set of ‘God’s way of changing’.” Wei Xiaobao said with great joy, “You can put oil on your feet, so you don’t have to worry about fighting. Master, teach me quickly.”
62次日韦小宝去九难房中请安，却见她已不别而去，留下一张字条。韦小宝拿去叫徐天川一念，原来纸条上写着“好自为之”四个字。
The next day, Wei Xiaobao went to the Jiujiu Disaster Room to greet her, only to see that she had left and left a note. Wei Xiaobao took it and asked Xu Tianchuan to read it. It was written on the note that “take care of yourself”.
63不一日，一行人来到北京。建宁公主已与韦小宝商议停当，见了康熙之后，如何奏报吴应熊无礼的事。便立刻一同去谒见康熙。
A few days later, a group of people came to Beijing. Princess Jianning has discussed with Wei Xiaobao about how to report Wu Yingxiong’s rudeness after meeting Kangxi. They immediately went to visit Kangxi.
64建宁公主抱住康熙，放声大哭:“吴应熊那小子欺侮我。皇帝哥哥，你非给我做主不可!”康熙劝慰一番，让她回房歇息，这才听韦小宝讲了一遍道:“小桂子，你好大胆!你跟公主串通了，胆敢骗我!”
64 Princess Jianning hugged Kangxi and cried loudly: “Wu Yingxiong bullied me. Brother Emperor, you have to make up your mind for me!” Kangxi comforted her and asked her to return to her room for a rest. Then Wei Xiaobao said again: “How dare you! You colluded with the princess, dare you cheat me!”
65韦小宝笑起来道:“当时有许多人站在公主窗外，大家都是亲耳听见的。公主是不便细说的，公主怎么说，奴才就怎么禀告。”康熙道:“吴应熊这小子受了委曲，叫他们择日在京里完了婚，再回云南。”
Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, “There were many people standing outside the window of the princess at that time. Everyone heard it with their own ears. It was inconvenient for the princess to talk in detail. What the princess said, the slave would tell it.” Kangxi said, “Wu Yingxiong was wronged and told them to finish their marriage in Beijing on a certain day and then return to Yunnan.”
66韦小宝跳起来道:“完婚不打紧，吴三桂要造反，可不能让公主回云南。”康熙问道:“你见到了什么?”韦小宝便把罕帖摩的话细说一遍。
Wei Xiaobao jumped up and said, “It doesn’t matter if you get married. Wu Sangui wants to rebel, but you can’t let the princess go back to Yunnan.” Kangxi asked, “What did you see?” Wei Xiaobao said Han Timo’s words in detail.
67康熙又问起白虎皮，大理石山水的情形。韦小宝吃一惊，不知他从哪里知道这么多事，便又细说一遍。之后，康熙命把罕帖摩押到，二人用蒙古语直问答了两个多时辰。打发走罕帖摩，韦小宝献上从吴三桂处得的经书。
Kangxi asked about white tiger skin and marble landscape. Wei Xiaobao was surprised. He didn’t know where he knew so many things, so he said it again. After that, Kangxi ordered to send Khanther to Moab, and the two people answered questions in Mongolian for more than two hours. After sending away Hantimo, Wei Xiaobao presented the scriptures obtained from Wu Sangui.
68韦小宝回到子爵府，闩上门，叫了双儿过来，吩咐她将几千片碎羊皮拼凑还原。双儿伏在案上，慢慢对着剪痕，一片片拼凑。韦小宝初时还东拿一片，西拿一片，帮着拼凑，不久径自去睡了。
Trinket went back to the viscount’s house, bolted the door, called for the twins, and told her to piece together thousands of pieces of sheep skin. The twins lay on the table, slowly facing the cut, pieced together. At the beginning, Wei Xiaobao also took one piece from the east to the west, helping to piece it together, and soon went to bed.
69这些日子中，双儿每日都拼凑破碎羊皮，到得第十八天晚上，韦小宝回到屋里，只见桌上大白布上钉满几千枚绣花针，几千块碎皮已拼成一幅完整无缺的大地图。韦小宝大叫一声，反手一把将双儿抱住。
These days, the twins pieced together broken sheep skins every day. On the 18th night, when Wei Xiaobao returned to the house, he saw thousands of embroidery needles on the white cloth on the table, and thousands of pieces of broken skins had assembled a complete map. Wei Xiaobao shouted and held the twins with a backhand.
70双儿取出一叠薄棉纸，一共三十几张，每一张上都描满满文，原来是地图上的地名。韦小宝道:“我拿去分找几个满洲师爷认了来，注上咱们中国字，就知道地名了。大功告成，亲个嘴儿。”双儿一听，逃出房外。
Shuanger took out a stack of tissue paper, a total of more than thirty pieces, each of which was full of Manchu characters. It was the place name on the map. Wei Xiaobao said, “I’ll take it and find some Manchu masters to recognize it. After we put our Chinese characters on it, we’ll know the place name. It’s done. Kiss your mouth.” The twins listened and ran out of the room.
