[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

"What are you thinking about?" Yinzhen asked with a smile.

Wei Rong came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just want to ask you to bring me a few books of popular words next time." If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, you must first learn the most popular words books style.

Yinzhen naturally would not refuse.

"It will only take a few days for me to let Xiao Shengzi go shopping outside. Nowadays, the books outside are mixed, and some of them are not suitable for you to read."

Speaking of the quality of the scripts, Wei Rong thought again that he had seen scripts popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the library before.There are also special readings for women, most of which are a template. When a woman was young, she suffered from family ruin, her husband’s death, relatives bullying and other injustices. She endured the humiliation and painstakingly raised her children. Whether it is extremely peaceful, canonization or something.

But Yinzhen never sent her this kind of Tianlei notebook once.Most of the sent ones focus on the twists and turns of the plot, exciting and interesting.

Concerned about Wei Rong's doubts, Yinzhen smiled frankly: "Those are like foot-binding cloths. It makes people feel dull and unpleasant to read. You are already bored here, so you definitely won't like it."

Wei Rong laughed, "I should thank you for your understanding." Life was boring, even if it was Tianlei's book, she could only pinch her nose to read it, but fortunately, the quality of what Yinzhen sent was not bad.

He really understands her.Wei Rong's smile is pure and bright, like the dazzling sunshine.

Yinzhen watched, lowered his head unconsciously and coughed lightly, then changed the subject and said, "I've already inquired about the maid you wanted to ask last time." For the crime, I was punished and sent to the Clothes Bureau.”

Wei Rong was in a depressed mood, but she was more fortunate after all, as long as she was alive safely.

Yinzhen lowered his gaze, he didn't tell Wei Rong that both of them were tortured by elder elder brother, but luckily they were not disabled, her life here is not easy, hearing these news again, it is useless except worry.

He said softly: "It's not easy to act now. When the limelight passes, I'll ask someone to take care of them." Now the elder brother is still searching for her all over the palace. I'm afraid there are people watching the two maids. If they want to take care of them, they have to wait. After a while.

Big brother really refuses to give up.Thinking of the search team he saw just now, Wei Rong felt helpless.Fortunately, I can leave the palace in the future, so it doesn't matter if Big Brother finds any traces.

"You ran into them." Yin Zhen was also startled.

Wei Rong comforted: "I'm not a ghost, I won't reveal my secrets."

Yinzhen didn't relax, "It's better to be careful, or else I'll arrange another person to handle the water fetching work, and you just wait every day."

Is this a captive canary?Wei Rong was speechless.

"Be careful sailing for thousands of years." Yinzhen said seriously.

Wei Rong could only nod his head in agreement.It's a pity that my only chance to go out and let the wind go is gone.

Yinzhen comforted: "It happens that I bring you more new books, so you won't be bored."

Wei Rong had seen the brocade box on the table a long time ago, opened it, and there were indeed seven or eight books in it, all of which were thick enough for him to read in three to five days.

In addition, there are the usual snacks, as well as a small bag of silver ladles and scattered copper coins.

"Although you have Qiuyi to take care of you here, occasionally you have to send the nearby palace maids and eunuchs to do some work. It's inconvenient, you can use these to deal with it temporarily."

It turns out that he is not indifferent.

Wei Rong didn't refuse either, and accepted it with a smile, "I'll pay you back when I make money from opening a shop in the future." Although he knew that Yinzhen would not be short of this little money.

"Opening a shop?" Yinzhen was surprised.

Wei Rong nodded, "I want to live outside the palace in the future. I can't live without money. I have to open a store to make ends meet."

Yinzhen was surprised, although Concubine De didn't say it directly, but the meaning revealed in her words should be that she wanted to arrange an identity for her in Wu Yashi.

But after thinking about it again, Miss Qianjin probably has a name in the farm real estate shop to earn some money, so it is normal for her to open a shop.

"You want to open a calligraphy and painting shop?" Yinzhen instinctively thought that she is a talented woman who is good at painting.

"No, I want to open a pastry shop." She also thought about calligraphy and painting, and the work was easy and fast, but this thing had too obvious a personal style. In order to ensure that her identity would not be revealed, she could not get involved in this business for at least ten years.

Yinzhen was really surprised, "Cake shop, have you ever had experience in running this business before?"

"There is no way to learn slowly."

Yinzhen responded, she didn't just want to eat, so she wanted to open a dim sum shop.

He reminded, "It's not easy to operate a pastry shop." Most of the good pastry shops in the capital are time-honored brands with exclusive secret recipes, and the pastry profits are thin, and there are no refreshing products, so it is not easy to start.

"I know." Wei Rong was of course mentally prepared.Referring to the living experience of her predecessors in previous generations, she has imagined several ways to make a fortune these days, but most of them do not work. In this era of feudal imperial power, things with slightly higher profits will be coveted by various forces.In comparison, the pastry shop is considered a relatively safe business.

"Besides, can't you still have you?" Wei Rong smiled.I can be regarded as a person with golden thighs, and with this person in front of me, at least I don't have to be afraid of being merged and competed, stealing the formula or something.

Dazzled by her sweet smile, Yinzhen nodded unconsciously and said, "That's right."

Speaking of pastry shops, Wei Rong thought again that court ladies in the Qing Dynasty were not for life, and they could leave the palace at the age of 25.Yufu is only five or six years old, and Yulian will be later.

In the future, if I lay a foundation outside the palace, I can definitely pick them up and live there when I leave the palace.

I talked about their backgrounds before, and both of them were born in hardships, and their families were very poor.It just happens to be a helper for your own shop.

Thinking about it this way, the future is promising, Wei Rong cheered up even more.

The rain outside washes over this quiet little world.

The atmosphere in the hut was warm and harmonious, and Yinzhen even had the illusion that he had returned to the day when he met her in the pavilion on the bridge.The only difference is that the table is not full of delicious food and wine, only a cup of tea, reflecting the sound of rain.

It's a pity that he couldn't stay for long, suppressing his greed for this quiet side, Yinzhen got up to leave.

Wei Rong sent him to the door, saw that the rain was still heavy, picked up the big lotus leaf in front of the door, "Do you want to use this?"

Yinzhen smiled and said, "It's good to hold the rain cover, but I don't need it this time. I brought a bamboo umbrella and brought you one too."

Only then did Wei Rong see that there were indeed two umbrellas lined up outside the door, one dark blue and one jade green.The jade-blue satin handle is waxed, and the delicate bamboo joints are coated with silver powder. It is delicate and low-key, just right for her to use.

Yinzhen picked up the blue umbrella and opened it, then turned around and smiled and said, "It's only when I saw you carrying water just now that I realized that I made a mistake. It's better to send umbrellas than coir raincoats and bamboo hats."

"Do you want me to work in a cloak? You are a skinny possessed by Zhou." Wei Rong glanced at him angrily. "The concubine De concubine didn't send anyone to work in the rainy day."

Yinzhen's heart was slightly sweet, and he stood in front of the door and asked curiously, "Who is Zhou Papi?"

"It is a legendary landlord in our hometown. Because the long-term workers employed at home only get up when the cock crows, in order to let them get up early to work, they go to the chicken coop every night to learn how the rooster crows."

Yinzhen couldn't help laughing, "Such chicken thieves are really ridiculous."

Wei Rong thought about it, the word "chicken thief" is too clever.

"He's really a chicken thief. After those long-term workers found out, they deliberately kept silent. That night, Zhou Papi went to learn how to crow a rooster. The long-term workers rushed up and beat him up as a chicken thief."

Yinzhen's mind moved slightly, his eyes were fixed.

Wei Rong cast a surprised look.

Xu Zhen reacted, and said with a smile: "These long-term workers are also very wise. It is true that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish." Sometimes the layout of the important affairs of the court is quite different.

The speaker is not interested in the listener, Wei Rong was puzzled at first, but when he walked away, his thoughts flashed, and he suddenly realized something.

Big Brother is a real pill!Fortunately, I ran fast.

***

Having decided to leave the palace, Wei Rong's life has never been easier.

The work of sweeping is very simple, and the rest of the time is spent reading books and picking flowers.

Every three to five days, Yinzhen would come over and bring her some daily small gifts, some were practical pens, ink and inkstones, snacks, and some were ornamental toys.

Of course, there are more books, and now there is a thick row in the cabinet in her cabin.

When there were few things, Wei Rong could still hide them, but now there are more and more things, and the room is so big, there is really nowhere to hide.Simply put it outside.

In the past few days, Qiu Yi came over to do her makeup, and her expression inevitably became subtle.

This day, I finally couldn't help probing: "These are all sent by the fourth elder brother."

Wei Rong nodded.

"Si elder brother is really... polite to stay here." Qiu Yi thought for a long time before he came up with such a word.

Wei Rong's face was normal, she didn't even bother to nod, she didn't need to explain these things.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qiu Yi's face, she finally managed to hold her breath, finished dressing Wei Rong, took her leave and left.

***

Qiu Yi returned to the room.

The last little maid, Suo'er, was cleaning the house for her. She didn't expect her to come back earlier today, and was startled by the sound of the door opening, shaking her hands and almost smashing the teacup on the table.

Qiu Yi said angrily: "Clumsy, can't even hold a teacup?"

Suo'er responded with a grievance, quickly tidied up her things and stepped back.

Qiu Shu, who was passing by outside, heard it, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you, venting your anger on these little girls, could it be that your mother dislikes your poor workmanship."

These days, Qiuyi goes to dress up Wei Rong every morning, all under the banner of dressing up Concubine De.She was originally one of Concubine De's hair combing officers, and no one doubted it.In fact, Concubine De's make-up these days is done by Nanny Guan.

Qiu Yi rolled her eyes at her and ignored her.

Qiu Shu was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "These days, the fourth elder brother came to ask the empress to work harder than before. I thought you were very happy."

Qiu Yi became angry from embarrassment, "What are you talking nonsense about?"

"If you don't mean that, why are you dressed up like that all day?" Qiu Shu sneered.

They are people who entered the palace together, and they are very careful about Qiu Yi.

"I advise you to stop thinking wildly, now that the fourth elder brother doesn't even have Fujin, how could he have a liking for us people." Qiu Shu persuaded seriously.

Qiu Yi lowered her eyes, so what about them?She is still a decent coater from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and her father also has the official title of the sixth rank, which is better than that person's background.

What's more, I'm innocent, I'm not something that goes against ethics...
