Qing Dynasty Chronicle

"Well, this is the taste of freedom!" Standing on the bustling street, Yinti took a deep breath and sighed.

Sun Dongxi, the son of Xiaoxi who was following him, couldn't help laughing when he saw his master's expression of emotion, "Master, you have been out of the palace before!"

Yinqi gave Sun Dongxi a white look, "You will know how I feel now when you are also pressed on the bed for ten days and half a month."

Knowing that Yinti had been held back for a long time by the days of forced recuperation, Sun Dongxi laughed and said, "At that time, it was also for the sake of the master. If you are in good health, we slaves will be fine."

"What's so good, I don't even let you get out of bed and walk around, is it confinement?" Yinqi was obviously very depressed about those days, and he glared at Sun Dongxi bitterly as he spoke, "Also, I am Is your master or who is your master, why is what I say not as effective as Fourth Brother and the others?"

"Oh my lord, you also know that it's the fourth master. The servant can see that the fourth master's calf is cramping. How dare you not listen to the fourth master." Sun Dongxi made a begging expression, and then smiled and said, " However, Fourth Master also cares about you for your own good, you see, after recuperating for such a period of time, doesn't his face look much better!"

"Sycophant, if you are capable, you can go to my fourth brother to ask for a reward!" Yinti scorned.

"Farewell then, your good health is the best reward for the slaves." Sun Dongxi waved his hand and replied.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're going to tell me about your goosebumps." Sun Dongxi's words made Yinti rub his arms, and gave Sun Dongxi a kick by the way.

Perhaps it was the hustle and bustle of the streets that made Sun Dongxi relax a lot. He didn't seem to be as restrained as he was in the deep palace. Instead, he was very cooperative with Yinzhen, clutching his buttocks and jumping forward two steps with a smile. That's funny. The appearance amused Yinti.

He began to heal his injuries just after time travelling, and it was not until three months later in the 42nd year of Kangxi that Yinti really began to appreciate the customs of this era.

In modern times, Yinti studied and lived in this city, but at that time the capital city had more modern houses, more tick-tocking cars, and more people. Sometimes Yinti felt that, The atmosphere that belongs to the capital city seems to be getting weaker day by day. It is breaking away from the old Beijing, and it is more like a modern international city, cold and modern but less charming.

But now, Yinti is standing in the city of Beijing 400 years ago, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, listening to all kinds of shouts, and the smell of various foods in the air, Yinti Taking a deep breath, he said silently in his heart that this is the real Beijing.

And Sun Dongxi, who was following by the side, felt that the fourteenth elder brother seemed more excited today than any time he left the palace in the past. He would go up to have a look and ask about everything. A few good rewards for two money.Could it be that these days are really suffocating?Sun Dongxi didn't know, but he felt that as long as his master was happy, it was fine, and it wasn't something forbidden anyway.

It was already noon after Yinti had finished shopping. He touched his gurgling stomach and turned to Sun Dongxi, "Which restaurant near here tastes good? Let's try it!"

Just as Sun Dongxi was about to answer, a voice came from above Yinti's head, "Fourteen!"

Yinzhen looked up, and found that Yinzhen was sitting by the window on the second floor of a restaurant called Ruyiju, smiling at herself.

Yinti raised his hand to greet him twice, and then patted Sun Dongxi's stomach, "I don't need to find a place to eat, I ask brother Jiu to invite you!" After saying that, he raised his leg and walked towards Ruyijuzhong.

As soon as he reached the second floor, Yinzhen's entourage greeted him at the door of the wing room, "Greetings to the fourteenth brother, good luck to the fourteenth brother."

Yinzhen responded, and excitedly pushed the door open, and saw Yinzhen sitting alone in the side room thinking about himself, "Why is Brother Nine here?"

Yinzhen took a sip of the wine, pointed to the seat beside him and signaled Yinzhen to sit down, "Why can't you be here, but you just ran out and wandered around again?"

"Oh, my ninth brother, if I don't come out to get some air, I will soon grow green hair!" During Yinti's recuperation period, Yinti also visited him several times, and Yinti and him became familiar with each other. Now I don't have any scruples about speaking.

"Tch, there are still green hairs, you think it's the silk that was pressed on the bottom of the box in the rainy days in the south!" Yinzhen gave Yinzhen a white look, and then asked someone to put a pair of bowls and chopsticks on Yinzhen, "Haven't you eaten yet? Think Tell him what to eat."

The shop waiter who was pointed at by Yinzhen immediately bent over with a smile on his face and introduced to Yinzhen, "Master Fourteen, our cook here has a few new dishes today, including duck feet with mushrooms, lotus pod tofu, grass Mushroom and broccoli, braised fish lips in flowerpot, would you like to try it?"

Seeing the five dishes already on the table, Yinti said, "Then let's have lotus pod tofu."

Seeing that Yinzhen only wanted one dish, Yinzhen joked, "Our fourteenth has changed sex. I have never seen you save me so much when we ate together before. You can see that you are really sensible. Come on, don't save me , order two more."

Yinti shook his head with a sincere expression, "Ninth brother, you have to trust me, my brother is really not the kind of person who would wrong me to show consideration for you, I really don't want it anymore."

"Hey!" Yinti was a little excited by Yinti's words, "Why do I want to beat you up so much when I hear this?" After speaking, he waved his hand, "I'm awake, except for what the fourteenth master ordered just now, Add mushroom duck feet and potted fish lips, let's go!"

"Hey, okay." Xiaoer bent over, put the tablecloth on his shoulders in a smooth manner, and went down to order food.

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen and wanted to reach for the jug while he was not paying attention, and immediately fished it out and put it in his hand, "You just recovered from a serious illness and want to steal wine?"

"I'll just drink a little." Yinti has always been interested in ancient wine, because the name sounds very good.

"Not at all." Yinzhen was very stern and selfless, "Don't rely on me for any problems, how about I ask someone to serve you a bowl of crispy cheese?"

"I don't like to eat that sweet stuff." Yinqi curled his lips, expressing his refusal.

"Then you can drink the soup." Seeing Yinti's refusal, Yinyu didn't force it, and changed hands to scoop up a small bowl of soup and put it in front of Yinti, "This soup is also good for your health."

"I said Brother Ninth, I just got sick, can you stop treating me like a piece of paper?" Yinti was confused by the caring behavior of their brothers.

"No!" Yinzhen refused bluntly, "Look at you, you've been so skinny since you came back from the trip beyond the Great Wall, and even when you got sick a few days ago, I can't believe it was me. The heroic fourteenth brother. Don't you know that your mother-in-law is going to be worried to death by you?"

"Hey hey hey hey, it's done, I know, I know." Yinzhen immediately raised a white flag to surrender when he heard Yinzhen mentioning his mother, "I'll drink it, can't I drink it!"

Seeing Yinti googling and starting to drink the soup, Yinzhen was satisfied, took a sip of wine and ate some food before asking again, "Where did you wander around just now?"

"Didn't go anywhere." After taking two sips of soup, Yinti put down the bowl again, drawing circles with one spoon after another, "I went shopping on the street."

"It seems that you are free, there is nothing to do on the street." Yinzhen said casually.

"Then Brother Ninth, why don't you just sit here and drink by yourself." Yinti retorted unconvinced.

"Me? I have business to do." Yinzhen glanced at Yinzhen.

"Business? What business?" Yinti obviously didn't believe it.

"Come and see the business status of my shop!" Yinzhen replied.

"Your shop? Where is it?" Yinzhen knew that Brother Nine was good at doing business, so he immediately became interested, and asked in front of Yinzhen like a puppy.

"Isn't that where you are sitting now!" Yinzhen still looked casual.

"Here? Ruyiju?" Yinti was taken aback for a moment.

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, expressing his affirmation.

"Oh, this is really good." When Yinti went upstairs, he saw the booming business downstairs, and couldn't help but praise.

"That goes without saying." Yinzhen has absolute confidence in doing business.

Thinking that this restaurant was opened by Yinzhen, Yinzhen was a little excited, stood up and looked around, then looked at the geographical location outside the window, turned around and said with a smile, "Ninth brother's vision is nothing to say, This street has the best location here, no wonder the crowds come like a cloud!"

"Little guy, you are knowledgeable!" Yinzhen patted Yinzhen's shoulder pretending to be old-fashioned.

"Hey hey hey hey, I'm not young anymore." Yinti pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "I'm already married!"

"Success, you are not young!" Yinzhen changed his words very quickly, "Speaking of which, have you thought about what you will do in the future?"

"After me? What to do?" Yinzhen didn't realize the meaning of Yinzhen's words for a while.

"Stupid!" Seeing Yinti's dazed look, Yinzhen couldn't help but flick his forehead, "We will build a mansion in the future. You really think that the little money given by Khan Ama is enough for the whole mansion every year." For chewing? Even if it’s enough for the first year, don’t you think you won’t add more people to your mansion in the future? As the days go by, the more people you have in your mansion, the more expensive it will be. Where will the money come from at that time? How about the income from your salary and Zhuangzi?" Yinzhen pointed with a slender finger, "Look at those elder brothers who have moved out of the palace, who doesn't have their own shop outside to help out? , even your unsmiling fourth brother!"

Hearing Yinzhen's analysis, Yinti felt that what he said was true, so he asked humbly, "Then Brother Ninth, what do you think I should do?"

"What should you do?" Yinzhen sipped the soup and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

Yinti thought for a while, then shook his head honestly, "I don't know."

Yinzhen held his breath for a long time, thinking that Yinzhen would come up with something good to make a living, but he didn't expect that he didn't know, which almost choked him up, coughed for a while and said bitterly, "You can't take care of your own affairs. Heart?"

Yinti looked very innocent, "I really don't know, I don't think I'm the type to do business."

"Who told you to concentrate on doing business? You just want to find a shop that can add income!" Yinzhen lost his temper completely, "Do you think that the eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother, the seventh brother and the eighth brother are all good at doing business? Even the prince is an expert in business? Our family is not a business family!"

Yinzhen shrank his neck after being babbled by Yinzhen, and thought again by himself.

Seeing that Yinzhen was thinking seriously again, Yinzhen nodded in satisfaction, stood up and said, "Think about it carefully, I have something to do when I go out, I will come back later and listen to you."

"Hey." Yinzhen felt that when the topic of business was mentioned, Yinzhen would burn, so he decided not to provoke him, and sat down obediently and nodded.

Although I am really not interested in doing business, Yinzhen’s words still made Yinzhen pay attention to this matter. Now I am in the Qing Dynasty 400 years ago, and I am no longer the one who lives in modern times without worrying about eating and drinking. I'm young now, I have a big family to raise now, I can't let everyone move out of the palace with me in the future, can I eat porridge and pickle vegetables every day?

Yinti, who wanted to go in, began to seriously consider what kind of shop he wanted to open. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but grab the jug and pour himself a glass of wine and drank it...

When Yinzhen came back after dealing with the matter, he opened the door and took a look. The scene in the wing room first made him stunned for a moment, and then amused him.

And Yinti, who was drinking, with red cheeks, watery lips, and gleaming eyes, turned his head when he heard the movement from the door, looked at Yinzhen who was standing at the door, smiled twice, shook his hands and said, "Ninth Brother... Uh...you're back? I, I...uh...I've figured out what I'm going to do..."
