[Qing] Tuan's favorite gluttonous little prince

Kangxi and his party returned to the palace in a mighty manner.

Yinqi found an opportunity to go out of the palace, assigned a series of main tasks to Qiuqiu and Master Qi, and then began to 'purchase'.

Yin Qi called the name: "Yes, ten roast ducks, twenty donkey rolls, two stewed pots..."

Suddenly, Qiuqiu interrupted him and said: "Master, I have paid off the debt."

"Huh?" Yinqi didn't know why.

Qiuqiu took out his small account book, "Look, you gave me 436 delicious food, of which 218 belonged to you Khan Ama, and I stole 208."

Qiuqiu turned to the next page, "After I came to work in the Taotie Building, you put it back and I cooked it. Including the ten roast ducks just now, it's exactly 208 servings."

Eh? !

Yinqi never expected that Qiuqiu would learn how to keep accounts, and even settle accounts.

But he appreciates it!

As a glutton, he appreciates Pixiu's careful planning in finances.

But, "You are not right!"

"What's wrong?"

"First, the delicacies I gave you back then were made by myself, but what about you, use the ingredients from my Taotielou to make delicacies to repay my debt?"

"what."

"Second, all the dishes you make are around 80 points, and I cook a lot of 90 points. They are not at the same level at all, and the values ​​​​are different."

Qiuqiu can only do simple calculations, but now he is completely confused: "Then, how should we calculate?"

Yinqi: "I'm more generous. I don't care about the ingredients. Just pay back twice as much. As for the wages, I will give them all to you, and I won't deduct them from it."

"Ah... ok, ok, thank you master!" Qiuqiu laughed.

I thought silently in my heart, I have to work harder to learn mathematics, otherwise I don't know if the master's calculation is right or not?

She asked again: "Then when I pay off this debt, what will happen to the delicious food I make?"

"I'll give you processing money. The ingredients are mine, the store is mine, and you are mine too. I'm already very tolerant, what else do you want?"

Although it makes sense, but the half-pixiu who can only get in and out by nature feels that he is at a disadvantage.

Yinqi then suggested: "Well, if you feel that you are at a disadvantage, you can open your own store to make money."

Xiaobai was stunned: [Why are you so generous, host?You quietly cultivated her, and then let go? ]

Yinqi smiled and said nothing.

After being stunned for a moment, Qiuqiu carefully asked, "Does it cost money to open a shop?"

"Of course, the upfront investment involves renting a storefront, decorating, hiring employees, and buying food ingredients... In short, an ordinary restaurant can't afford the upfront investment without a few thousand taels."

Qiuqiu subconsciously covered her small purse: "That's not good, absolutely not!!! No one wants to take money out of my small coffers!"

Yin Qi smiled and said, "You have five 10,000+ taels, and you still feel sorry for the thousands of taels?"

Qiuqiu: "A copper plate is also money. It is absolutely impossible for me to spend money!"

"So, what's wrong with working for me? It not only includes food and accommodation, but also top-quality ingredients that you can't buy outside, and more importantly, Master Qi and I will help you improve your cooking skills. You know , Master Qi used to be an apprentice, how much did he charge for tuition?"

"How many?"

"Ten taels of silver a year is more than your salary. You are studying for free now, and you still have two masters. Are you making a lot of money?"

"Yeah!" Qiuqiu nodded vigorously, "Thank you master for being so kind to me!"

Qiuqiu finally didn't feel a loss.

Yinqi immediately poured out a bunch of wild fruits, "Help me make these into candied haws when you have time, I'm not treating you as a coolie, I'm just training your cooking skills."

"Yeah, don't worry, leave it to me, master!"

Yinqi thought for a while, and found a shiny gem from his mustard space, "For your diligence, this is a bonus."

"Wow—" Qiuqiu was pleasantly surprised.

But soon Yinqi told her to silence: "Shh, others don't have it. See how I treat you?"

"Okay, okay." Qiuqiu was holding a valuable gemstone, his eyes were shining.

……

In a few days, good news spread from the harem: Concubine De is pregnant again.

Concubine Yi, who had just been proud of the spring breeze for a few days, was so angry that she almost broke her armor.

Back then, Wu Yashi suddenly appeared when she was new to the palace and was enjoying the exclusive favor, and took away half of her favor.

If it wasn't for the empress' empress's thunderous tactics and not allowing the harem to fight, she would have attacked Wu Ya's family long ago.

Now she and Wu Yashi are still the ones who favor her, and she has only given birth to one, that guy is already the third child!

For the time being, she is no match for having a baby, Yifei thinks that she still has to start from other aspects.

She thought hard, and an idea gradually took shape.

"Official women's school?" Xiu Min was slightly surprised.

"Yes, my lady. I still remember that when my lady taught the sisters, she once said that she hopes that one day, women can be like men, with great ambitions, and earn a future by themselves."

Xiu Min chuckled: "I said it before, but it's too difficult."

She persuaded Kangxi to order a ban on the feet of women all over the world. If they were found to have their feet bound, the whole family would have to sue, but the ban continued repeatedly. Even the daughters of half of the Hanchen families in the court had their feet bound.

She also persuaded Kangxi to promulgate many cheap decrees to support women to set up their own houses, go out to work, study, and do business...but it seems that it is of no use at present.

Who knows that Concubine Yi has made up her mind this time, "The empress has taught the sisters before, how will you know if it will work if you don't try it? The concubine is willing to invest in the construction of a girls' school and a girls' primary school. If it is not feasible , nothing is lost, at most, the reputation of the courtiers and concubines will be damaged."

Xiu Min was a little moved by her, "Then where are you going to invite a gentleman? Some female students who can go to primary schools are not too young, so it's best to find a female gentleman."

"This...the concubine has a few candidates, I'm afraid it's not enough."

Xiu Min smiled slightly, when Concubine Yi thought that this matter would not be possible, she said again: "I will discuss it with Lord Long Live first."

Concubine Yi's eyes lit up.

Xiu Min: "The harem is not allowed to meddle in politics. Although school affairs are not regarded as meddling in politics, they are also sidelines. I will tell Lord Long Live that the idea came from me. If it can be achieved, I will hand it over to you to supervise."

"Thank you empress!" Concubine Yi went back in surprise.

She knew that if the queen was willing to take over this matter, it would be possible in all likelihood. In recent years, every move the queen has made has helped the emperor a lot, and her prestige is very high.

And after that, the queen's reputation will be used in this matter, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it has nothing to do with my own reputation.

Xiu Min is not like Concubine Yi, who excitedly speaks out when she has an idea, every time she proposes a measure, she has a mature plan before submitting it to Kangxi.

Therefore, until mid-September, when Kangxi decided to accompany the two empress dowagers to Tangquan Palace for health preservation, she hadn't had time to come up with a plan.

Concubine Yi was also accompanying her, but Concubine De was unable to accompany her due to her heavy body, so while she was happy, she was not anxious about the slow progress of this matter.

Before leaving for Tangquan, Chang Hai was announced into the palace by the queen, saying that Mr. Jones wanted to see him.

Chang Hai was flattered, his favorite author was actually in the palace? !

Chang Hai came here beaming, and wanted to ask Mr. Jones a lot of questions, but when he saw him, he was so shocked that he was completely speechless.

Cao Lan is Mr. Jones? ! ! !

The shock of this incident was no less than when he suddenly saw his Ama washing Er Niang's feet! ! !

Chang Hai thought so, so he said so.

"Puchi..." Xiu Min felt that her silly little brother who would lose his wits when he saw the beauty he liked was hopeless, "So did Ama really wash Erniang's feet?"

"Ah? Ah, yes, yes..." Chang Hai was still in a daze.

Xiu Min quietly rolled her eyes, "This time I asked you to come because Mr. Jones wanted to serialize that "Young Hero and the Beauty" in the "Beijing Weekly", and then printed it into a book for sale. Do you agree?"

Chang Hai straightened his back and blushed.

The reason why he felt that Cao Lan was frightened by Mr. Jones, rather than a surprise, was because of this book!The most embarrassing thing about him, he let the other party know all about it, and even wrote a book to satirize him.

This, this, this... How can he be embarrassed? !

"What's the matter, Mr. Chang Hai, is it because the servant girl didn't write it well? You can suggest revisions, but the main story will not be changed." Cao Lan laughed.

"No, no, it's pretty good." He was stunned, and then asked: "I haven't asked, what is the ending?"

At the beginning, he only saw the young hero being hanged by a beauty, helping her fight for favor in the elder brother's courtyard, bullying his sister-in-law, and suppressing the servants, so he was so angry that he didn't want to watch it anymore.

He originally thought that the young hero at most recognized the true face of the beauty, and left home ashamed.

But Xiu Min said: "Of course the young hero and the young madam love each other, and they will be a couple for life, which makes the beauties envy and hate."

"Huh?!" Chang Hai never expected that this would be Mr. Jones' rare book with a happy ending?

"Why don't you go back and read the whole book before replying? But I'm going to go to the hot spring, so you can write to me when the time comes." The queen said.

"No, no need, I agree. Anyway, I don't say anything, and few people know that the prototype is me, let alone a happy ending."

"The servant girl will thank Master Chang Hai first!" Cao Lan saluted, and Xiu Min let people go down.

Chang Hai suddenly laughed and asked his second sister in a low voice: "Have you already helped me find a marriage partner?"

Xiu Min chuckled, "Are you satisfied with the one I chose?"

"Sister knows which one to choose and I will be satisfied."

"Humph."

"Chang Hai thanked my sister first!"

"Leave gracefully."

"okay--"

The two talked like a riddle, Yinqi was at a loss, "What are you talking about?"

Xiu Min smiled and patted his head, "Say he can't go to Tangquan anymore."

……

In fact, it wasn't long after Kangxi came back from Qiu Lie, he packed up again and went north.This is all thanks to the good weather and few wars this year, so he can be so brisk.

This time, the queen and all the princes and princesses also went together, only the prince was left behind.The second elder brother, as his little assistant, also stayed behind.

But this time, the two stayed here not to supervise the country, but for special reasons.

——Kangxi arranged for them all to be scholars, and asked them to secretly participate in Enke's Qiu Wei with aliases.

Originally, he only arranged for the crown prince to take the exam, but Yinti was so strong that he wanted to try it himself, and he agreed.

In addition to the two of them, there were as many as five children from Hesheli's family who participated in the Qiu Wei this time, including Chang Hai.

That's right, even though Chang Hai is introverted and doesn't like reading, he is also a scholar.

The autumn is for next year's spring preparations. After Kangxi made arrangements for the autumn affairs, he went to the hot springs with peace of mind.

In the hot spring palace, Kangxi clearly felt that Yinqi was much more sensible.

During this trip, Kangxi brought half of the children's teachers, and Yinqi had no complaints about the daily lessons.

In his free time, he still took his brothers and sisters around to have fun, but he was a lot more measured, and there would be no headaches for adults, and he would never forget to please the two empress dowagers.

And when he spends more time alone, he is not cooking delicious food, but practicing martial arts with the guards. Of course, his favorite martial arts teacher is still Rong Ruo.

Kangxi and the others would go out every other day, and sometimes they would stay at the inn if they couldn't make it back. He didn't just come to soak in the hot springs. He would patrol around every year, focusing on the farming situation.

This year is undoubtedly the most gratifying year for crop growth. The rice harvest in the south is bumper, and the wheat harvest in the north is also bumper. Fewer and fewer people are hungry.

One day, when Kangxi was about to go out, Yinqi sent him his favorite barbecue.

"Khan Amma, I have a secret to tell you."

Kangxi was so hot that he couldn't speak clearly: "Sounds~" said.

"Did you know? I'm in Meng Xuetang, and I have a friend who doesn't like him, Ama."

"Follow?" Who?

Yinqi: "I won't tell you who it is, I can't betray him. You can only ask me, why doesn't he like him, Ama?"

"For Sima... hiss, it's so spicy!"

Yinqi: "Because his Ama doesn't take him out to play, buy him delicious food, or buy him toys and jewelry, so he just keeps busy all day long."

Kangxi: "???"

Kangxi: "...how about I take you out to play?"

Yin Qi waved his hand, not caring: "Oh no, I didn't bring you delicious food just for this."

Kangxi: "Let's go!"

Yinqi: "Ouch~ Since you have made such a strong request, I'll be wronged for a while."

Kangxi: "Pfft."
