[Qing wear + Red Mansions] Guide to the Prince's Pampering Wife

This woman has white skin, tall figure, high nose and deep eyes, blond hair and blue eyes, she can be seen as a Westerner at a glance.

But the two children are different. The two children are a boy and a girl. The boy is three or four years old, and the girl is more than two years old. He is being led by his mother and walks a little staggeringly.Both have high noses and deep eyes, but the two are not as obvious as the mother, and they add a bit of oriental softness, which is very cute to look at.

What's more, they have black eyes and black hair.

This must be of mixed race!

Yin Zuo and the third elder brother looked at each other, and at the same time said "Fuck" in their hearts.

Niu wow old man!

The eighth elder brother introduced the woman to Yin Zuo and the third elder brother: "This is the French Princess Marie."

Mary saluted Yinzuo and the third elder brother again: "Mary has met the third brother and the sixth brother."

When he opened his mouth, he was fluent in Manchu, and he performed the Daqing squatting ceremony. Yinzuo once again saw the charm of the eighth elder brother-it is not easy to ask the princess of a country to do this for him.

The two returned the gift to Princess Mary, and then looked at the two children: "Are these nephews and nieces?"

Brother Eight smiled and nodded: "My brother's name is Hong Xu, and my sister's name is Wu Xiha."

He turned his head to the two children and said, "I've seen your third uncle and sixth uncle."

Hong Xu pulled Wu Xiha two steps forward, knelt down and kowtowed, and spoke in standard Manchu: "Nephew Hong Xu, niece Wu Xiha greets the third and sixth uncles."

The milky little doll has not been able to speak for a long time. After stumbling on the ground and finishing such a long sentence, the hearts of Yin Zuo and the third elder brother softened in an instant, and they hurried forward to help the two children up.

The third elder brother took off two jade pendants from his waist, and the two children made a meeting ceremony together. Yinzuo touched his body, and there was only a hairpin and jade pendant on his body.The jade pendant is the topaz jade pendant that Daiyu gave, and it is a pair with Daiyu's. He has been wearing it for many years, and he can't give it to him. He just smiled and touched the little heads of the two children: "Go back and make up for you." superior."

Hong Xu took advantage of the situation and hugged Yin Zuo's leg: "Can Uncle Liu take me to ride a horse?"

Yin Zuo laughed: "Do you want to ride a horse?"

Hong Xu nodded heavily, pouted and said, "Ama won't let me."

Yinzuo said "Oh?": "Why doesn't your Ama let you ride a horse? Is it because you are too young?"

"No!" Hong Xu crossed his waist, put it down quickly, continued to hug Yinzuo's calf with both hands, and said, "Ama accompany Erniang, ignore me. Uncle Jiu will take me to ride."

He was rambling, and the ninth elder brother added that Yinzuo could barely understand that Hong Xu often rode horses when he was in France, but he couldn't do it when he was on the boat. , has been accompanying her in the carriage, only Brother Jiu can take him for a ride occasionally, but there are too many carriages and horses on the road and the dust is too heavy, so I can't ride more, but the little baby can't bear it lightly.

Hongxu looked up at Yinzuo with his small head up, Yinzuo smiled and nodded: "Uncle Liu will take you to ride a horse! There is no dust on the road in the capital, and you can ride as long as you want!"

Hong Xu smiled at Yin Zuo, showing his white teeth, and his big eyes curved into crescent moons, very cute.Turning around, he waved to Eighth Prince and Mary: "Ama and Erniang, get in the car, I'm going on a horse!"

Eighth Brother: "..."

The third elder brother looked at Wu Xiha with a dazed face, and said with a smile: "Then I will take my niece to ride, don't worry, I will hug her."

The eighth elder brother could only nod his head in agreement.

Everyone was about to go to Beijing, and the eighth elder brother personally helped Mary into the carriage, and carefully arranged the loose skirt of the dress for her.

Yinzuo and the third elder brother looked at each other, and couldn't help but look at the ninth elder brother together: Is this really the eighth brother?It doesn't look like it!

Brother Jiu smiled mysteriously: "It's nothing, you will know in the future."

Yinzuo let out a "heh" in his heart, but he didn't expect Brother Ba to be not only a warm man, but also a love interest?

Mary was riding in a carriage, and eighth and ninth elder brothers rode horses with Yin Zuo and third elder brother. The chariots and horses were going to the city in a mighty way, and pedestrians were courteous when they saw it.

Yin Zuo hugged Hong Xu, the little guy didn't recognize his life at all, poked his head out of Yin Zuo's arms, looked at the strange city curiously, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This place is so beautiful!"

The eighth elder brother was also surprised: "The capital is very different from four years ago."

When he left four years ago, the capital was already very good, but now it is getting better and better.

Because of the emergence of high-yield crops, the Qing Dynasty does not say that everyone can have enough to eat, and there are very few cases of people starving to death. The mental outlook of the people has improved a lot.

When you are full, you will have the energy to develop other things. It just so happens that the good things of the imperial court are one after another. Now the roads in the capital are all cement, clean and spacious; It is no longer as dusty as it used to be; there are almost no naked beggars on the street, and the people coming and going are all in good spirits; more shops have been built on both sides of the road, with different decoration styles, but each one is better than the other; The cries of the street vendors kept coming and going, and there were so many pedestrians, it was very lively.

This is a completely different style from France and the sea. Hong Xu didn't know where to look, and pointed at the passing women: "Uncle Jiu is wrong, there are women on Daqing Street!"

This is also what surprised Brother Jiu the most, he wasn't like this when he left!

How could we see so many women on the streets of the Qing Dynasty before?There are even a few occasionally, and most of them have to show up in order to make a living.It's not like now, women come and go on the street, and there is not much taboo, not only people in common clothes, but also rich and wealthy daughters in gorgeous dresses, which is very different from the past.

Yinzuo laughed: "This is all thanks to the fourth sister. There are still many changes in the Qing Dynasty, and you will know in the future."

The little baby Hong Xu couldn't understand these words, he only cared about one thing: "Then can my mother-in-law come out to ride a horse? She doesn't even dare to come out."

"Your mother thought that women were not allowed to go out in the Qing Dynasty, so she always rode in a carriage?" Yin Zuo understood what Hong Xu meant, and nodded with a smile, "Of course she can come out and ride a horse!"

Hong Xu politely asked a guard to ask Mary to come out to ride a horse. By the way, he also freed up a horse for her to lead. Mary had heard Yin Zuo's words inside, so she didn't hesitate at this moment, and found the gap and jumped on the horse directly. The complicated The dress didn't affect her movements in the slightest, and it didn't even affect the team's progress in the slightest.

Mary rode to the eighth elder brother and breathed a long sigh of relief, and the ninth elder brother laughed loudly: "Sister-in-law, is she overwhelmed?"

Yinzuo can also see that this Mary is not a coddling person.

Hong Xu and Wu Xiha didn't have obvious exotic looks, so they didn't attract a lot of people's attention, but when Mary came out, the people couldn't help but look at her.It's not that Westerners are so rare, there are more and more Westerners in the Qing Dynasty, and they are not as rare as before, but Mary's ability to ride a horse and walk with a few elder brothers is more eye-catching.

Under such gazes, Mary was generous, without losing her composure at all.

Thinking about it, she is a princess of a country, and she can accompany the eighth elder brother to travel across the oceans. She can't be an ordinary person. She behaved virtuously and introverted before, and I'm afraid she deliberately went to the countryside to do as the Romans do.

Learning language and etiquette at the same time, Yinzuo has a good impression of Mary if he can do this for Brother Ba, even better when compared with Ba Fujin.

So he took the initiative to ask: "Princess Mary is from France, your father is the Sun King?"

The Sun King is the current King Louis XIV of France. He inherited the throne when he was young. He encountered many rebellions and faced countless crises in his life. □, and led France to expand its territories, making France gradually become one of the most powerful countries in Europe.

In his previous life, Yinzuo was not interested in French history, and his impression of Louis XIV was limited to anecdotes such as "Versailles", "Ballet", "High Heels" and "No Bathing". Even the title of "Sun King" is also I only found out when I read French materials after the Qing Dynasty.

Seeing Princess Mary nodding, Yinzuo smiled and asked, "I heard that the Palace of Versailles is extraordinarily gorgeous?"

Princess Mary smiled and said, "If there is a chance, Sixth Brother can go and see for himself."

Yin Zuo: "Er..."

Thank you, I don't really want to go!

Seeing that he was speechless, Mary laughed and said, "It's okay, I can draw it for you to see."

Yinzuo: "...thank you very much." It's not surprising that she is enthusiastic.

The third elder brother couldn't hold back anymore, he had been curious about this for a long time: "I heard that the Sun King doesn't like to take a bath?"

The third elder brother has tried his best to be tactful. It is said that Louis XIV did not take a bath for many years, and his whole body smelled bad.

Yin Zuo secretly glared at the third elder brother, this question is a bit rude.

Mary was not angry, but smiled heartily: "That was a thing in the past. In the past, when the French plague was raging, we thought that taking a bath would open the pores and make it easy to get sick and die, so everyone tried not to take a bath. But since the mission of your country brought After going to cure the plague, we can also take a bath in peace."

As she spoke, she looked at Yinzuo with bright eyes: "I have admired you for a long time, and I have read your books many times. I hope I can have time to ask you for advice."

"Er..." Yinzuo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care, he taught too many students.But Mary has a special status after all, not only a foreign princess, but also the eighth prince's woman.

He looked at Eighth Brother, Eighth Brother smiled and said, "Please trouble Sixth Brother."

Yin Zuo nodded in agreement.

Mary laughed happily, and asked again when she remembered something: "I heard that you and Layman Xiaoxiang have a close relationship. Can you introduce Layman Xiaoxiang to me? I like her paintings very much."

The third elder brother felt a little uncomfortable immediately, he felt that he was the only person who knew the true identity of the Layman Xiaoxiang besides Yinzuo and Daiyu, and now he wanted to show off but had to hold back, his mood was quite complicated.

He looked at Yinzuo, wondering how he would answer.Yin Zuo just smiled mysteriously: "I don't need to introduce you, you will know it by yourself in a few days."

Mary: "?"

The third elder brother didn't know what Yinzuo meant.

Yin Zuo didn't say any more, as if changing the subject, he talked about another unrelated matter: "It's just in time for you to come back. In a few days, the Women's Medical College will be renamed, and the Royal Women's College of Science and Technology will be officially established. You must be present at the ceremony."

Naturally, everyone should be, for people who have been away for four years, this is another rare thing.

This is also a big event for Yinzuo. Apart from the establishment of the school itself, he also promised the fourth princess that he would find a talented and capable female principal for her.

Everyone was talking, and they arrived at the post in a short time.

Brother Ba didn't bring back many things this time, but he brought back a lot of people. There are hundreds of scholars and experts from various countries. Yinzuo and the others have to arrange for these people to stay first, waiting for Kangxi to summon and make follow-up arrangements.

The inn can't accommodate so many people. Fortunately, I received the news in advance and booked the inn next to it, so that I won't be caught blind at the moment.

Everyone arranged their own arrangements, but Yin Zuo looked at one of them but felt a little strange.

What first attracted Yinzuo was his appearance. This person was mixed in the crowd, so he couldn't tell what his appearance was, but his physique was outstanding, because he was very, very, very tall!

Nowadays, the average height of human beings is not very high. Yin Zuo has no specific data, but he himself is 1.7 meters nine, which is already very tall among men. Because of enough exercise.His brothers are taller and shorter than him, but none of them are below 1.7 meters five as adults.

People like Yinzuo are half a head taller than ordinary men, and the average person is only a little over 1.6 meters by visual inspection. Western missionaries are taller, but most of them are only between 1.6 and 1.8 meters. Gao is not without it, but he has only heard of it from missionaries, and has never seen it with his own eyes.

Today Yinzuo saw one, and this person is definitely more than 1.8 meters.Seeing him standing among European scholars, generally taller than others by one head and one shoulder, Yin Zuoxin said that he must be two meters taller.

Two meters is an extremely tall figure in later generations, let alone now, when he stands there, the people around him immediately become outstanding among the chickens.

Because it was too prominent, Yin Zuo couldn't help but pay attention to it, and then found something wrong.

These scholars and experts are precious, but the ships to China cannot carry too many useless people, so each person can only bring one servant at most.But this man was secretly surrounded by several people to protect him. Those people not only pretended not to know him, but also dressed like scholars instead of servants.

Yin Zuo didn't think it was a coincidence, nor did he feel that he was wrong, and he didn't think that Brother Ba had made a mistake.

That's strange, how did he bring so many people on board?Or, how did he make so many learned people bow their heads?

Apart from the high status and weight of this person, there is no other explanation.

Yin Zuo couldn't help but think of a person—Peter the Great.

Peter the Great was originally called Peter I, but he was the monarch of Tsarist Russia. Because of his outstanding achievements during his reign, he was honored as Peter the Great by later generations.Together with Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty and Louis XIV of France, he is the three greatest kings of the seventeenth century.

Peter the Great was determined to forge ahead. There was a very popular TV series in later generations, which told the story of Kangxi’s private visit by Bailong Yufu in micro-service.

It is said that he once sent a mission to Europe to learn new technologies, and he himself traveled with the mission incognito. After returning home, he carried out a series of reforms and led Tsarist Russia to become stronger.

Calculating the time, it should be about this time when Peter the Great visited Europe.And the Great Emperor is rumored to be more than two meters tall!

Yinzuo's mind was spinning quickly, and the eighth elder brother beside him saw him looking straight at one direction, and wondered: "What's wrong with the sixth brother?"

Only then did Yinzuo come back to his senses, pointing to the man who seemed to be Peter the Great and asked, "What's his name?"

The eighth elder brother looked in the direction he was pointing, then paused and said, "Peter, Peter Mikhailov."

The original name of Peter the Great was Peter I Alexievich, which of course was not known by Yinzuo before, but the information sent by Kangxi after realizing the power of the West, forcing every prince I have memorized them all.

The names are not exactly the same, but Yinzuo is more sure that this person is Peter I.Incognito, of course the name is different, but with so many coincidences, he happens to be named Peter, doesn't that explain the problem?

The relationship between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia is not very good, and this person came here to inquire about the situation. Normally, Yinzuo should be unhappy, but he is a little proud in his heart——

In history, Peter the Great did not come to the Qing Dynasty, he only traveled around Europe, but now he has traveled thousands of miles to come here. What does this mean?

It shows that the Qing Dynasty has really become stronger!

How could Yinzuo be unhappy?

Happy to be happy, Yinzuo still reminded the eighth elder brother: "This person looks unusual, you should pay more attention."

The eighth elder brother looked at Yinzuo in surprise, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sixth brother, I have been telling people to watch him. He shouldn't know if he knows."

Yinzuo: "?"

"Sixth brother also sees that this person has a special identity? This person traveled to Europe with the Tsarist Russian mission and met me in England. Because he was very interested in the Qing Dynasty, I took him with him at his repeated requests. Yes," the eighth elder brother smiled meaningfully, "Tsarist Russia has always been eyeing the Qing Dynasty, and this person is ambitious, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't have any ideas. It's good to deter him."

Yinzuo: "..."

It was he who was worrying too much.The eighth elder brother deserves to be the eighth elder brother, but his heart is not comparable to that of ordinary people.So Yin Zuo felt relieved.

Settle down the experts and scholars, and then send the eighth elder brother back to the mansion, and the matter of Yin Zuo and the third elder brother is over.

Unexpectedly, the eighth elder brother did not return to the house, but came to another house.This house is not big... At least it is much smaller than Ba ​​Ye's Mansion, but it is quiet and exquisitely furnished, with both Chinese and Western styles, combining the hobbies of Eight Princes and Mary. It can be seen that they are very careful. It must be that Eight Princes ordered someone to arrange it in advance Yes, counting the time, I'm afraid that people will rush to Beijing to deal with this matter as soon as they landed.

The third elder brother frowned: "Eighth brother, this is not appropriate."

In the eyes of the third elder brother, there is nothing wrong with the eighth elder brother and the French princess getting married and having children, and the love between husband and wife is fine. Anyway, the Qing Dynasty did not pay attention to monogamy. Except for Yinzuo, which prince's house does not have a side Fujin?

It's just that the eighth elder brother feels that Mary has been wronged, and it's not a big deal to divorce his wife and remarry. Anyway, the eighth brother has made such a fuss, so he should have divorced long ago.

But the meaning of setting up another house is different. Let the censor know that the impeachment papers can be buried in the censor's study!

The third elder brother naturally knows that once the eighth elder brother brings Mary and the two children to live in the eighth master's mansion, the mansion may not stop again. It is far less clean than living outside, but for the eighth elder brother's consideration, he still has to persuade A piece of advice.

The eighth elder brother smiled slightly: "No problem, I have already asked Khan Ama for instructions."

The third elder brother opened his mouth: "Khan Ama also agrees?"

Can't you?

The eighth elder brother nodded: "Khan Ama is considerate of Mary's noble background, has never been wronged in life, and has two children with her. She is specially allowed to stay in the inn and find another house to live alone."

Third Elder Brother: "...the station?"

The third elder brother scratched his head with a blank face, Yinzuo patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "Didn't you understand, the princess is also a scholar!"

Although she has some relationship with the eighth elder brother, but it is not in this name.

The third elder brother said blankly: "Yes, is it?"

"Although it's not far away, it's not far away," the eighth elder brother said with a smile. "Mary is an envoy. The purpose of this trip is to represent France and conclude an alliance with the Qing Dynasty."

Yinzuo: "..."

Now things are more lively, there is a good show to watch!
