[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what the situation was now.

"Ah?" Yinyou glanced at him up and down, "What is it if you are not a younger sister with hair?"

Xiaoyu said, "I'm a boy!"

Children in the south shave their heads less early than those in the north, and they can hardly tell their gender when they wear clothes, so they are mistaken by Yinyou for a girl.

Everyone doesn't care about the issue of boys and girls. The problem is that Cao Yin is a single dog. His wife died young.

Yinyou touched his ears: "You still have those ears and eyes that only girls have."

Xiaoyu touched his ears, but he didn't know how to explain this.

Cao Yin explained for him: "Children are born with many diseases and misfortunes, and they are afraid that they will not be able to support them. According to the customs in some southern regions, when they are young, their ears are pierced and they wear red ropes to raise them as daughters."

Kangxi looked at Cao Yin, then at that little...boy, and finally set his eyes on his son: "Nonsense, where have you met him?"

"It's there?" Yinyou turned around and pointed to the pillars in the corridor, "Last night, the elder brother of the prince carried me back to the room, and she stood behind and watched me secretly."

Xiaoyu immediately defended herself: "I didn't peek at you."

"Didn't you peek at me?" Yinyou frowned, thought for a moment and suddenly said seriously, "Then you are just peeking at my prince brother!"

He turned around and threw himself into the prince's arms: "Don't even think about it, he is my brother!"

This early in the morning, before Kangxi went out, he was pissed off by the little brat.His son really can't do anything, and he is No.1 in arguing.

Xiaoyu hugged Cao Yin's leg: "I didn't peek at them, I just waited for you to come out."

Cao Yin patted his head: "Okay, I see."

He has always been good at observing Kangxi's emotional changes. He planned to go out early in the morning, but was delayed by the dispute between the two little dolls, and Long Live Lord was naturally displeased.

Seeing the impatience on his face, Cao Yin hurriedly called Xiaoyu's nanny and asked her to take the young master back.

Seeing Xiaoyu being carried away, Yinyou was as happy as a winner, and stuck out his tongue at him making a face: "We're going out to play, we won't take you, we won't take you!"

Xiaoyu was held in the arms of the nanny, trying to stick out her little head from her shoulder: "Isn't it just going to Yuhuatai, my father took me there!"

Kangxi climbed Yuhuatai to appreciate the natural beauty, visit the cultural scenery and listen to legends.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties were the time when Buddhism was at its peak. The so-called "480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many towers were in the mist and rain" reflected the scene of that period.

It is said that there was an eminent monk here, Master Yunguang, who set up an altar to give lectures on the scriptures. Because he spoke vividly and wonderfully, the monks listened fascinatedly, and refused to leave for several days. Later, the Buddha was moved. It was renamed Yuhuatai.

Not only that, but here is also a place where loyal bones are buried. Yang Bangyi was cut open by a gold man under the Yuhuatai, and Wen Tianxiang was captured and passed by here 150 years later. He wrote "Huai Zhongxiang", and Fang Xiaoru, who was exterminated by Zhu Di Tomb of...

Yinyou listened to a lot of stories again today, his little head was full, except that Zhu Di was a character he had heard from the story of Tiegong Temple before, this time he added a lot of strange names.

Along the way, he wrote down all the legends and stories he saw and heard, and was going to tell Ukumamo and Sumomo when he went back, and he could also show it off in front of his brothers and sisters.

Kangxi talked about Buddhism with eminent monks in the Buddhist monastery.Outside, Cao Yin touched Yinyou's little head: "Go, I'll take you to a fun place."

As soon as Yinyou heard about the interesting place, Yinyou became interested and raised his head: "Where are you going?"

Cao Yin smiled mysteriously: "You will know when you go."

At this time, someone leaned over, it was Nalan, and whispered, "Take me."

Cao Yin pushed him away: "Go, go, I won't take you."

Yinyou went to Ranalan's hand: "Take him."

Cao Yin glanced at the two of them, and beckoned reluctantly: "All right, all right, let's go now."

He wanted to leave quickly, because he knew Kangxi too well as a companion since he was a child. The man talked about Buddhism with others in it, and he would call himself in while talking.

Sure enough, as soon as the three of them left, Kangxi called Cao Ziqing from behind, and Wei Zhu went in to reply, saying, "Go back to the emperor, Cao Zuoling and Nalan's bodyguard took Seventh Elder Brother to another place."

Kangxi asked: "Where did you go?"

"I didn't say it."

Kangxi asked again: "How long have you been away?"

"Just left."

Kangxi pondered for a moment and did not speak again, Wei Zhu tentatively asked: "How about the slaves go and chase them back."

Kangxi waved his hand: "Forget it, let them go."

Nalan sat on a big rock with little interest. He thought there was really a good place, but in the end...

Cao Yin ran back and forth with Yinyou, picked up a lot of Yuhua stones and came back to pick them one by one.

Nalan glanced at it casually: "This is not bad, it looks like there are mountains and sea of ​​clouds, quite artistic."

Yinyou looked at it over and over again, and tasted it: "It looks like a cloud cake sprinkled with chopped walnuts."

Cao Yin also took it over and took a closer look: "It seems to be the case."

Nalan picked another one, the stone was yellow with irregular red spots on it: "Does it look like a falling maple leaf? Let's call it Autumn Scenery."

Yinyou said: "It looks like a hair cake sprinkled with carrots, how about calling it a red silk cake?"

Cao Yin admired a foodie's imagination very much, and took it over to look at the sun carefully: "Don't say it, it's quite image."

Nalan took a piece of orange-red stone, and thought for a long time, trying to find a poem with the same artistic conception, but I don't know if he was influenced by the little guy beside him, now his mind is full of two words: "persimmon."

"Hahahahahaha!" Cao Yin put his hand on his shoulder and laughed, Seventh Brother successfully turned the first poet in the Qing Dynasty into a foodie.

Yinyou also picked out a piece of purple: "Grapes."

Cao Yin then picked out a long piece: "Glutinous rice lotus root."

"..."

He casually threw stones in front of the two of them: "You two must be hungry."

Yinyou touched his stomach: "I want to eat glutinous rice and lotus root."

Cao Yin just passed the stone in his hand: "Come on, open your mouth and take a bite."

The little guy took the stone and looked at Cao Yin worriedly. He was smiling when he was picking up the stone just now, but now he is not happy again.

So, I leaned over to tease him: "Will you eat it or not? I'll eat it."

Yinyou frowned even tighter, grabbed Cao Yin's hand, and asked worriedly: "Ziqing, what's wrong with you, why are you getting more and more stupid, this is a rock, you can't eat it."

Cao Yin: "..."

He looked at the little guy, then at the stone in his hand, and suddenly felt that what he said was right, he was getting more and more stupid, so stupid that he was joking with a child.I can only follow his words and say: "Yes, this is a rock, you can't eat it."

Nalan bent one leg and stepped on the stone, his arms resting naturally on his knees.

Cao Yin touched him with his elbow: "What are you thinking?"

"I want to drink, I want to get together with old friends."

"Cut~" Cao Yin gave him a disdainful look, "Don't you just miss Gu Liangfen?"

"I think the emperor will be able to go back in the afternoon, and you can go to meet your old friends later..."

Nalan glared at him, Cao Yin immediately changed his words: "Old friend."

The three of them sat for a while, Cao Yin found a spring, helped Yinyou wash all the Yuhua stones he had picked up, and took him to taste the well water from Ganlu Well.

The little guy drank it with his small hands, and the front of his clothes was wet in a big way after he didn't drink two mouthfuls of well water.

Nalan hurriedly wiped it for him, but he couldn't clean it no matter how hard he tried, so he reached out to touch his underwear. The little guy was ticklish and giggled non-stop.

"Fortunately, the clothes inside are not wet. If you go back with wet clothes and get sick, Lord Long Live will beat us both."

Yinyou stuck out his tongue: "Sweet, delicious! Take some back for me, Ama and Erniang."

Cao Yin led him back: No need to bring it, the water they made tea in the Zen courtyard was drawn from this well.

The little guy nodded: "Oh, all right, let's go back."

When the three returned with a large pile of stones, Kangxi was just coming out of the Zen courtyard.The imperial concubine and the prince followed him from left to right, listening to what he had to say.

Yinyou happily ran over to show them what he had gained: "Brother Prince, look quickly, there are a lot of delicious food here."

He also picked up one and showed it to the prince: "Two-color horseshoe cake."

After speaking, he stuffed the stone into his mouth.He moved so fast that no one around could react. The prince reached out to pull him, but it was too late, and he swallowed the stone in one gulp.

"Xiao Qi!" The imperial concubine was frightened out of her wits, and rushed over to try to pry his mouth open, and the surrounding servants also gathered around and panicked.

At this time, a big hand stretched out and pinched Yinyou's jaw, forcing him to open his mouth: "Spit it out!"

Yinyou looked up and saw the sullen eyes in Ama's eyes, and there was a sore feeling in his jaw. He opened his mouth involuntarily, and obediently spit out the stone.

The little guy looked at Ama and Erniang pitifully: "It's fake, I didn't eat it."

The imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't hold it back, she raised her hand and slapped his little butt twice, but this time she didn't hold back at all: "I warn you, brat, next time let me see Seeing you do such a dangerous thing, I will beat your ass into eight pieces."

At this time, all the foreign ministers were waiting outside the Zen courtyard, and there were only servants in the courtyard.The imperial concubines that everyone usually sees are all kind and amiable, and they have never blushed with anyone.

When I saw it today, I was shocked. It turned out that the imperial concubine would also be angry. When she was angry, she would beat people, a little bit hard. Seventh elder brother's eyes were red, but he gritted his teeth and did not dare to cry out.

Kangxi wanted to hit him at first, but his cousin's attack was too fast and too hard, and his son was already stunned. If he tried again, the boy would probably howl immediately.

This is a monastery, so you can't disturb the quietness of the Buddhist family. Forget it, call it when you go back.

There were dozens of servants in the yard, so scared that no one dared to move.Only the crown prince pulled Xiaotuanzi over and protected him behind him: "Ama Khan calm down, imperial concubine calm down, Xiao Qi is just naughty, he made a joke with us, he knows it is a stone and cannot be eaten."

Yinyou covered his chin with one hand and his butt with the other, thinking how painful it would be if it was smashed into eight pieces.Thinking of this, tears are about to come down, I wish I could grow a hand to cover my eyes.

The imperial concubine was still angry at first, but this brat just needs to be dealt with, so if you don't give him a good beating, he can challenge the limit of his patience in a variety of ways.

But when she saw her son's antics, she wanted to laugh again. The little boy always has the ability to laugh people to death while making them angry.

Yinyou hid behind the prince, and stood up bravely when the pain in his buttocks and jaw stopped.With tears still in his eyes, he carefully pulled the imperial concubine's hand: "I know it's a stone and you can't eat it, I just...just want to make everyone happy...Emiang, I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again next time. "

His attitude of admitting his mistakes has always been profound and sincere, no matter how angry he is, the sincerity in his eyes can dissipate more than half of it, but the imperial concubine was really angry this time, she turned her head and ignored him.

Yinyou circled around Erniang for half a circle, went to hold her hand, and coaxed her in the tone she usually coaxed herself: "Be good, don't be angry, I brought you a gift."

He did not know where to find another stone and handed it to the imperial concubine, with a clear red heart pattern on it.The imperial concubine only took one look, then raised the corners of her mouth and laughed.Except for her son, no one would coax her with such things.

Seeing the imperial concubine smiling, the prince looked at the stone curiously, but didn't think there was anything special about the pattern, maybe because it was a gift from his own child, even if it was just a cheap stone, the mother would also like it.

The imperial concubine was happy, but Kangxi beside her was not happy.The little brat is too partial, so the gift is given to Er Niang, so he is an Ama?

He walked over and nodded the little guy's nose: "If you don't fight for three days, go to the house to expose the tiles."

Then he took the imperial concubine and walked out of the courtyard without a scratch: "Get up!"

The emperor was very unhappy: "My own woman, I can coax myself."

The imperial concubine only has a son in her heart, and has no interest in her cousin, the king of the sea.

Back at the Weaving Department, Kangxi had no travel arrangements in the afternoon, so he called his ministers to discuss matters.

Yinyou only heard Ama say something about opening the sea to Gao Shiqi, and remembered what Erniang had said to him before, about the opening of the sea ban and foreign trade, suddenly his eyes lit up, and in his Ama's ear While chanting: "Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!"

The prince was curious: "What is chocolate?"

Yinyou explained to him: "A tree that grows in hot and humid areas is called cocoa tree, and its seeds are called cocoa beans. The food it makes is called chocolate. It melts in your mouth and has a strong aroma. It's delicious!"

He described it so vividly that those who didn't know it thought he had really eaten it, but in fact, he had only heard Nan Huairen mention it.

Kangxi marveled at the memory of this little thing, it was only mentioned by Nan Huairen when explaining the map a few months ago, yet he remembered it till now.

Although the old father did not get the stone from his son today, he still wanted to satisfy his wish to eat chocolate.

"Okay, okay!" Kangxi pulled him in front of him, "Ama is going to discuss political affairs with the ministers now, you go to play elsewhere."

"Okay!" The little guy bounced and walked out, and before he left, he took two oranges from the fruit plate on the table on his feet.

He planned to come out to look for Nalan and Cao Yin, but they were nowhere to be seen, so the little guy took the oranges and walked to another courtyard, where he knew that Cao Yin and his family lived.

The little guy bounced and went straight to the courtyard. The servants of the Cao family knew that the emperor's family lived in the front yard. This was the emperor's little brother, so they dared not stop him.

There are fewer people in the courtyard here, and it seems a lot quieter.However, this Jiangnan garden-style architectural style is well-proportioned, and it is not symmetrical like the courtyard-style buildings in the capital. Yinyou felt a little dizzy when walking around, and lost his way after a while.

He looked around, but there was not even a servant who could ask the way, so he could only ask Zhao Cheng, who was not far away, "Do you know where this is?"

Zhao Cheng was as confused as he was: "This is Cao Zuo's home."

Yinyou: "..."

Isn't this nonsense?He also knew that this was Ziqing's home.But Ziqing's house is built like a maze, he really can't tell the direction.

After walking around the garden for a long time, Yinyou was also tired from walking, so he stopped and leaned against the rockery, watching the koi in the pond peel an orange.

After the first bite, it was a little sour. He didn't like it, so he handed the orange to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng naturally would not refuse the rewards from Seventh Elder Brother.Yinyou also deliberately gave up half of the stone under his buttocks for him to sit on.

The two saw someone passing by the corridor opposite the pond, and Yinyou was about to ask Zhao Cheng to call for someone, but in the blink of an eye, the person's figure flashed, and he disappeared through a screened door.

Yinyou sighed, not knowing what to do now.

After a while, a small figure appeared from behind the rockery, and asked Yinyou, "Are you lost?"

Yinyou was startled, turned around, and at some point there was someone standing next to him, it was the one named Xiaoyu that morning...

How could it be possible for Yinyou to admit that he was lost? Brother Seven, don't you want to lose face? Absolutely impossible!

So he turned his head to look at the pond: "Who said I was lost, I was just watching the koi."

Xiaoyu nodded, and sat on the rock opposite him: "Oh, I saw you wandering around the yard for a long time, thought you were lost, and wanted to take you out."

Yinyou: "..."

It turned out that this younger sister did not come to laugh at him, but to guide him.Yinyou felt a little regretful, he didn't tell the truth in order to save face just now, and now he can't say it no matter what.

"Hey!" He sighed, and continued to lean on the stone to watch the koi, but the koi in the Weaving Department lived very realistically. He didn't bring food, so the fish didn't bother to do business, so he sneaked into the bottom of the pond and found a quiet place. place to rest.

Xiaoyu asked him, "Where are you from?"

"The capital."

Xiaoyu asked again: "Is the capital far from Jiangning?"

"It's very far away. We took a carriage at first, and then took a boat. After walking for several months, we came to Jiangning."

He has no concept of time, and he can't tell the difference after three days. Anyway, there is no difference between dozens of days and months.

Xiaoyu frowned: "Then what's in the capital?"

"There is the Forbidden City, my family lives in the Forbidden City, it's so big."

Xiaoyu was curious: "Is it bigger than the Weaving Department?"

Yinyou stretched out his hand and gestured: "There are dozens of weaving bureaus that add up to the size."

Xiaoyu couldn't imagine how big the dozens of weaving bureaus added up to, so she obviously didn't believe it: "Little brother is lying."

"I'm not lying. Ziqing used to go to my house every day. You can ask him."

Xiaoyu suddenly lowered her head: "It's too far away, if my father doesn't take me with me, I won't be able to go."

Yinyou turned his head and saw him looking very sad. The little guy couldn't bear it, and was about to put the grievances of the morning behind him and comfort him: "Sister, don't be afraid, just don't go."

"I'm not my sister!"

"Forehead……"

As a warm man, Yinyou touched his whole body and found that he only had one orange, so he took it out to relieve himself: "Come on, eat an orange."

Xiaoyu didn't answer, Yinyou withdrew his hand again, peeled off the orange peel for him intimately, broke off one piece and handed it to his mouth: "Come on, open your mouth."

As expected, Xiaoyu opened her mouth obediently, and ate the slice of orange that was brought to his mouth.

Yinyou looked at him expectantly: "How about it, are these oranges sweet?"

Xiaoyu nodded: "Very sweet!"

Yinyou chuckled, stuffed the remaining oranges into his mouth one by one, and smacked his lips in satisfaction: "It's really sweet, let me tell you, I just ate one just now, but it was sour, I couldn't bear it. I dare not eat it, I am worried that it will be as sour as the last one..."

"..."

Xiaoyu jumped off the rock and disappeared through the rockery. The nanny hurriedly saluted the seventh elder brother, and then hurriedly ran away with the young master.

Yinyou ate half of the orange in his mouth. Seeing the two people disappearing in the blink of an eye, he was a little puzzled. He turned his head and asked Zhao Cheng: "Sister, what's wrong with him?"

Zhao Cheng covered his face, and told the truth solemnly: "Probably, Young Master Cao also wants to eat oranges."

Yinyou was confident: "But I shared it with him, so he ate the first petal."

He doesn't want to share with others, he just wants others to help him taste whether the oranges are sweet or not.

Zhao Cheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, the slave saw it."

Yinyou added by himself: "I only ate it when he said it was very sweet."

At this time, a servant happened to say that the guests had arrived. Cao Yin took Nalan to the main hall, passing the garden on the way, and saw Xiaoyu coming out from behind the rockery. Bullied you?"

Cao Shun is the eldest son of Cao Quan, that is, the eldest grandson of Cao Xi.

Since Cao Yin asked this way, Xiaoyu must have been bullied a lot in the past.

Xiaoyu shook her head: "With my father here, they dare not bully me."

Cao Yin asked: "Then what's wrong with you?"

Xiaoyu pouted: "It's that little brother...he lied to me to eat oranges and asked me if they were sweet. I said they were sweet, so he ate them all by himself."

Nalan understood it as soon as he heard it, and laughed loudly: "Except for Seventh Brother, most people can't do this."

Cao Yin also laughed, looked behind the rockery, and asked Xiaoyu, "Is the little brother behind?"

Xiaoyu nodded, and said in the back: "He is lost, I want to take him out, but he is still stubborn."

Cao Yin nodded: "You go back to the room with the nanny first, and my father will give it to you later..."

Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and she asked expectantly, "Avenge me?"

At this time, Yinyou heard the movement and came out from behind the rockery. Cao Yin glanced at him and said to Xiaoyu, "I'll send you a basket of oranges."

Xiaoyu was greatly disappointed, and she really couldn't count on others for revenge.

Hearing his words, Yinyou came out from behind the rockery, and found a piece of Yuhua stone in the net that he carried with him. He picked up a lot, and he didn't feel bad about sending it: "Sister, this is for you."

"!!!" Xiaoyu roared, "I'm not my sister!"

Without further ado, Yinyou put the stone back: "Forget it, I just took it back and gave it to Baotai."

Xiaoyu: "..."

Nalan was about to die of laughter, walked over and hugged him: "It seems that Brother Qi really wants a younger sister."

Xiaoyu followed the nanny away, and Cao Yin came over and touched Yinyou's head: "Xiaoyu is very pitiful, his mother died a year ago. His aunt doesn't like his mother, and he doesn't like him either. He lives alone in the side courtyard I have lived here for two years, with only one wet nurse by my side."

Nalan was taken aback: "Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"

Cao Yin shook his head: "I only found out about the crimes that my precious brother did when I returned to Jiangning."

"The child was born in a concubine's house. Last year, the child's birth mother died. After I came back, my father worried that I would not be able to support my mother and help my brothers in the future. He also said that I had no children under my knees, so he wanted to adopt the eldest brother Cao Shun to me. I refused. , and I can’t go against my father’s last wish, and I want this little one, who doesn’t even have a name, so I named him Cao Yan.”

Nalan knew his background and knew that he had the same background as Cao Yan, so he took pity on that child.

Cao Yin's biological mother, Gu Shi, was also Cao Xi's concubine, and the poor girl who was exiled to the capital was not welcomed by Sun Shi.

However, the Gu family was born in a well-known scholarly family, and his great-grandfather was once one of the "Four Great Masters of Qizhou" as famous as Li Shizhen.Her elder brother, Cao Yin's uncle Gu Jingxing, is also a well-known literary master in the world.

Later, Cao Yin also married the Gu family's daughter, who was not inferior to Nalan's wife Lu Shi in appearance and learning, but was just as miserable.

Cao Yin sighed softly: "His mother was also a talented woman living in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was probably willing to be his concubine because she admired Ziyou's talent."

Cao Yin has a bit of a brother-in-law filter for his younger brother. Cao Quan is good at painting plums. Besides, he is not as good as his elder brother in terms of talent, appearance, and character.

"There are many female talents in Jiangnan, but they were born at the wrong time, and their lives are thinner than paper."

These words carry several deep meanings. Nalan and him come from a different background, and have different experiences since childhood. Although everyone likes to make friends with famous people, the way of making friends is also very different.

It's inconvenient to go deeper into this topic, after all, the master lives in the front yard at this time.

Cao Yin said with a smile: "I just remembered, you have a confidante who Hongyan passed on, and she is also a talented woman from the south of the Yangtze River."

Nalan pushed him, "Fuck you."

During the conversation, the two had already arrived at the main hall. Nalan looked down, and the little guy was looking at them with a pair of big watery eyes with a blank face.

Maybe he didn't understand the topic just now, and he was a little confused at this moment.

Nalan asked him softly: "Are Brother Qi sleepy? Can Zhao Cheng take you back to your room to rest?"

Yinyou blinked vigorously, turned his head and hugged Nalan's neck, and did not let go: "No! I just came out to look for you two, and then I got lost in the garden."

Cao Yin couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his face, and said with a smile, "As long as he's still awake, you won't be able to get rid of him."

If he couldn't get rid of it, he could only take him in with him, but before he entered the main hall, Nalan's heart began to surge, and Yinyou was hugged by Cao Yin.So next, he saw an incredible scene.

As soon as the three of them entered the door, the person sitting in the room put down the teacup and immediately stood up. Without saying a word, he strode up to them and hugged Rong Ruo tightly.

Yinyou stared, dumbfounded.In his impression, Rong Ruo has always been a somewhat melancholy beauty.Except in front of him and Cao Yin, always frowning and preoccupied.

At this moment, he was hugging a middle-aged man. The warm emotion was like hugging a lover who would never meet again.

Yinyou said curiously: "This gentleman met last night."

"Yes," Cao Yin nodded, "He is Rong Ruo's former teacher, Gu Zhenguan, a friend of Wangnian."

At this time, Gu Zhenguan also saw him, and immediately recognized him as the little prince wearing a python robe from last night, but he didn't know how to call him.

Nalan immediately introduced to him: "This is the seventh elder brother of the Holy One."

Gu Zhenguan wanted to salute: "Caomin has met Seventh Brother."

Yinyou has always been humble and polite to strangers, and this Mr. Gu is a good friend of Rong Ruo and Ziqing.He took a step forward and gave him a little help, "Sir, don't be too polite."

Yinyou suddenly remembered that he had heard Nalan mention the name "Liang Fen", but unexpectedly it was Mr. Gu's alias.

He said: "The sound of falling leaves all over the sky is like rain, Guan Qing can't sleep because of anything."

Gu Zhenguan was taken aback for a moment. This was a poem on the wall when he was 20 years old when he left his relatives and traveled far away. He did not expect to hear it from a little prince today, and he was very surprised: "This..."

Nalan laughed loudly: "I mentioned it to Brother Seven at the beginning. I didn't expect that he could remember it so clearly."

Hearing Rong Ruo's praise, the little guy couldn't help shaking his head, he is very good, as long as it is the poetry that Rong Ruo taught him, he can remember it.

Gu Zhenguan praised without hesitation: "Brother Qi was not born when I was the secretary of the cabinet. I never expected that the emperor would get such a clever little prince a few years later."

The little guy likes to hear people praise him for being smart, and his eyebrows and eyes are obviously smiling, like a crescent moon in the sky, but he cups his hands like a little adult: "Thank you for your compliment, sir."

Cao Yin said with a smile: "Seventh elder brother can recite Liang Fen's famous lines, shouldn't you also express it?"

Gu Zhenguan is a commoner scholar, even if he has a collection of books at home, if he goes out, what good things can he have with him? After thinking about it, he took out a collection of words with him: "Please don't dislike the seventh elder brother."

That is his "Fantasy Ci". He Chen Weisong and Zhu Yizun are called "Three Wonders of Poetry", and he, Nalan and Cao Zhenji enjoy the reputation of "Three Wonders of Beijing".His collection of words is naturally worthy of Yinyou's taking it back and studying it carefully.

"I don't dislike it." Cao Yin took it for Yinyou and asked Zhao Cheng to keep it.

Yinyou cupped his hands to Gu Zhenguan: "Thank you sir."

Nalan and Gu Zhenguan hadn't seen each other for many years, so naturally they had a lot to say, so Cao Yin brought Yinyou out and left the room for them to reminisce about the past.

Cao Yin said: "It's always good to read more, you have this talent. Remember: be knowledgeable and let go; do good deeds but not slacken; you are called a gentleman."

Yinyou nodded in confusion, but actually didn't quite understand.

He is very interested in Gu Zhenguan now. He doesn't know about Gu Zhenguan's accomplishments in literature, but he just thinks that someone who can make Rong Ruo care so much must be difficult.

So, pestering Cao Yin to tell him the story about Nalan and Gu Zhenguan, Cao Yin patted his head: "You have heard too many stories today, and your little head is too full. Let Rong Ruo personally deal with these things." Let me tell you."

Cao Yin refused to say, firstly, Yinyou was too young, he couldn't understand many things.Secondly, this is a story between Nalan and Gu Zhenguan after all, and it also involves another old friend, so it is quite complicated to tell.

If he didn't say anything, Yinyou didn't ask any more questions. As he was walking, the little guy got a little sleepy, so Cao Yin carried him back.

As soon as the two of them reached the front yard, they saw Liang Jiugong hurriedly walking towards this side: "Oh, Cao Zuoling, I'm going to find you."

Cao Yin asked: "What's wrong?"

Liang Jiugong gave him an expression of "Is there any need to ask?": "Of course the emperor wants to see you."

Cao Yin nodded, and handed Yinyou over to him: "Please trouble Director Liang to take Seventh Brother back."

At this time, Yinyou had fallen asleep in his arms, Liang Jiugong took it, and Cao Yin went straight to the room where Kangxi was.

This time Yinyou didn't know how long he had slept. When he woke up, Li Xi was by his side taking care of him.

The little guy sat up from the bed and started looking around sleepily.

Li Xi asked him, "What are you looking for?"

Yinyou gestured: "My book."

"what book?"

"It's just a book," Yinyou said anxiously, "it's from Liang Fen."

Li Xi was puzzled: "Who is Liang Fen?"

Yinyou blinked: "It's...it's Rong Ruo's confidante."

The imperial concubine at the table: "..."

She almost died laughing, this kid is probably coming to Jiangning this time, following Cao Yin and Nalan, he has heard and met too many people, he must be confused.

Mr. Nalan did have a confidante, but how could it be Gu Zhenguan?

The imperial concubine came to the bed with a smile: "Your book is here, can Er Niang borrow it to have a look?"

Seeing that the book was still there, Yinyou felt relieved: "Of course it can!"

"But baby, Erniang wants to remind you that Mr. Gu is not Mr. Nalan's confidante."

Yinyou tilted his head, he had heard Cao Yin mentioned the words "confidante girl", and seeing Rong Ruo hugging that Mr. Gu, he almost cried with joy, why isn't this a confidante?

The imperial concubine patiently explained to him: "A confidante refers to a man's female bosom friend."

Yinyou nodded: "Understood, just like Er Niang, you are Ama's confidante."

Imperial Concubine: "Ah... this..."

She struggled for a long time, not knowing how to explain it to her son.But Yinyou didn't bother with this at all.Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and remembered that when Cao Yin described Gu Zhenguan, he didn't use "confidante girl", but other four words.

"Mr. Gu is Rong Ruo's best friend."

The imperial concubine nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, it's Wangnian friends."

The little guy started the "[-] whys" mode again: "Then what is Wangnianjiao?"

This seems to be much easier to explain than a confidante: "It means that two people who are very different in age, but can treat each other as friends, are called Wangnian acquaintances."

The little guy started to draw inferences again: "Then Rong Ruo, I, and Ziqing are friends who have forgotten the age?"

"Maybe..." The imperial concubine patted his head, "Both of them are great talents with profound knowledge, the baby should work hard to learn from them and improve his literary accomplishment, so that he can really become a chatterbox with the two of them." bosom friend."

Yinyou frowned and thought for a moment, then retorted: "If they don't regard me as a friend because I don't study as much as them, then it means that they don't treat me sincerely, and Rong Ruo and Ziqing are not such people."

"My God!" The imperial concubine suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, "Yes, the baby is right, it's the mother who is narrow-minded."
