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

In Jia's mansion, Daiyu is entertaining guests.

The people who came were Sanchun sisters and Xue Baochai, and Jia Baoyu was also with them.

Daiyu frowned when she saw Baoyu, and Baochai smiled and said, "I just said I wanted to come and see my sister, but I told this man to listen and insist on coming together. Don't take offense to my sister!"

Daiyu was displeased, but Jia Baoyu came with Sanchun after all, and Daiyu had a good impression of Sanchun, and she didn't want to slap them in the face for some trivial things, so she had to let him in.

Yingchun held Daiyu's hand, feeling quite guilty, she didn't know what Daiyu was thinking, she hated her for being cowardly and weak, she didn't dare to refute Baoyu, and now she made Daiyu difficult.

Leaving her alone, what would Tanchun and Xichun do to Baoyu?

Daiyu gave her a comforting smile, and they entered the main room and took their seats, Xichun smiled and said, "The house is full of noise, but Sister Lin's place is clean and at ease."

Baoyu said: "It's too quiet. Sister Lin should also go out for a walk often. What's the fun in being bored in the house all day long?"

"I'm not in good health, so I should keep it clean." Daiyu dismissed Baoyu's words, and then smiled at Xichun, "If the fourth younger sister likes it, she can come here often. I'm just worried that no one will talk to me."

"That's a good thing." Xichun also felt that she had hit it off with Daiyu, so she responded with a smile.Baoyu also clamored to come, but Daiyu only asked him, "Don't you need to go home to study?"

Of course Jia Baoyu was going to study at home. Recently, Jia Zheng kept a close eye on him, and his ancestors couldn't speak for him, so he managed to play truant today.

Baochai glanced at Baoyu with a smile, changed the subject, and said, "I missed Sister Lin's good tea, so I came here specially to thank you today."

Daiyu looked at Baochai in surprise. Although she was not very familiar with public affairs, she knew that she was not doing Xue's face at first, but Baochai was so magnanimous and magnanimous, which made Daiyu admire her.

So she smiled and said: "You can say thank you or not, as long as Sister Bao likes it, just ask me to get it if it's gone, I can't drink that normally, it's a waste to keep it for nothing."

Xue Baochai responded with a smile.

"That's right! My sister can't drink tea, she can only drink specially prepared drinks." Jia Baoyu asked curiously, "I don't know what kind of drink it is, maybe it is sweet osmanthus clear dew or something?"

"It's not that, it's just roses and chrysanthemum tea." Daiyu told the little girl to make tea, and smiled at Sanchun, who was also curious, "I'm curious, so I ask you to taste it too!"

Baoyu was not very interested: "What's so delicious about rose chrysanthemum tea? How about I give my sister a bottle of rose dew, which is sweet and delicious, and it's full of roses. I think it can help my sister's illness."

Daiyu's tea drinks are Yinzuo's painstaking efforts, how can she be willing to be belittled by others?Wen Yan frowned slightly, and said with a light smile: "It turns out that my drinks have to be changed from time to time, or when the season or weather changes, or my physique changes, I have to match new ones, and I have to choose fresh things. , Rose Clear Dew is good, but it’s okay to taste it once in a while, but it’s not enough for regular use.”

Does anyone know what material is used for the Laoshizi?

Baoyu was still talking, just as Xueyan came in with a tea table, the strong fragrance immediately permeated, not like ordinary tea.

Xueyan smiled and said: "It happened that the kitchen was making milk tea, so the servant took a pot on his own initiative, thinking that the girl's taste is light, this hawthorn tea may not be liked by everyone, it would be bad if I neglected it."

Baoyu's eyes lit up: "Where can my sister get the milk tea recipe, it's so fragrant?"

Milk tea is a drink from the northern nomadic peoples. It has become widely known since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, but the most authentic recipes are in the hands of the court and the Manchurians. The unfavored masters in the palace and the powerless Eight Banners family are only known No, Jia's and Xue's families can't even drink authentic milk tea.

Baoyu heard that Yuanchun drank it. It was originally rewarded by the imperial concubine and empress. It is said to be extremely fragrant and delicious.It's just that no matter how hard it is at home, I can't get the smell out. I thought it was an exaggeration. I didn't expect to smell such a fragrant milk tea at Sister Lin's place today.

The servant girl poured milk tea for everyone, Baoyu took a sip, and his eyes lit up: "Even if my sister's milk tea is not as good as that in the palace, I'm afraid it's not far behind!"

Tan Chun smiled and said, "It's silky in the mouth, rich in milky aroma, really delicious."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer.

This is the prescription in the palace, it turns out that Yinzuo will give Daiyu a share of everything good he sees, just like a prodigal son.This food is not suitable for the spleen and stomach, Daiyu doesn't drink it often, just today I want to cook a pot and try it with the old lady, now I can drink it for my sisters and sisters, and I will cook another pot for the old lady later. the same.

Everyone drank milk tea, but Daiyu just held a cup of hawthorn tea and drank it slowly. She has a bad appetite recently, and hawthorn tea is suitable for appetizing and helping digestion.

Xichun took a sip of hawthorn tea with Daiyu, and immediately put the milk tea behind her: "I like hawthorn tea better. I usually only think that dried hawthorn is too sour and candied haws are too greasy. Just right!"

Hearing this, Baoyu was curious, so he also tasted it. Because he just drank the milk tea, the taste was not obvious in his mouth, but he also felt that the hawthorn tea had a strong but not strong taste, with a moderate sweetness and sourness, and the taste was really good.Can't help but praise: "This hawthorn tea is good, it's different from the ones I've had. It was rare for me to see it, but now I'm looking around and don't know how to make a choice."

Baochai said with a smile, "You just drink both. Sister Lin still lacks something from you?"

Daiyu just smiled and said nothing.Xueyan and Zhu Ying looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Xueyan actually went to the kitchen to get this milk tea, because Nanny Ning had warned them when she first entered Jia's mansion, saying that Jia's family used to be high and low, and girls usually don't pay attention to ostentation, but they want it. Help the girl to keep an eye on it, lest the villain with a hard screwdriver look down on the girl.

Just now when Xueyan went out to make tea, Zhu Ying was serving in the house. After hearing Baoyu's words about "Osmanthus osmanthus clear dew" and "Rose clear dew", she felt that something was wrong, so she quietly asked someone to send a message to Xue geese, and Xue geese said Then he turned his head and brought a pot of milk tea over, just to frighten Baoyu.

Seeing the effect now, Xueyan is quite satisfied.

A few people drank tea and talked, Baochai secretly looked at it, and felt that every part of the room was exquisite, simple and elegant but still precious, and couldn't help being envious.It's not that she doesn't have these supplies in her home, it's just that their orphans and widows have to rely on Jia's family now, so it's not good to be too extravagant, and many things are just stored in the treasury.

After all, Sister Lin's father is still alive, and she is an official lady, so she has more confidence than her.

Baochai's heart was complicated, so she only glanced at it briefly, then looked away, and said with a smile, "I never thought that my sister would still read medical books?"

Daiyu looked at the upside-down medical books on the desk next to her, and nodded with a smile: "I'm always weak, so it's always good to learn some medical principles."

Baoyu wondered: "This is what my uncle taught you? I never thought that my uncle is also good at medicine!"

"Father doesn't understand it, he learned it from a doctor," Daiyu said.

Everyone was very curious: "I heard that my uncle valued my younger sister. He was raised as a man on weekdays. Didn't he think that his younger sister would just read the Four Books and Five Classics and invite a doctor to teach her medical science?"

Xichun guessed: "Could it be the doctor enshrined in the mansion, I heard that your mansion originally enshrined the imperial physician!"

"Don't make guesses," Daiyu interrupted them, "It turns out that I have learned some medicine from the imperial concubine, and my senior brother has also taught me a little bit."

Baochai was surprised and said, "I never heard that Uncle Lin has taken in an apprentice. Which family is he from?"

"It's not a serious apprentice, it's just a name among juniors." Daiyu didn't want to say more, and said indifferently, "Brother didn't plan to take the imperial examination."

When Baochai heard that she was only a poor relative who beat the autumn wind, she suddenly lost interest.Baoyu was quite interested, and immediately clapped his hands together and said, "I'll learn some medical theory later on."

Baochai advised him: "Learn what Laoshizi is doing, you are not young now, the right way is to read two books seriously!"

Baoyu didn't want to hear these words the most, and immediately changed his face, just to prevent his sisters from having a fit.

Daiyu didn't care about this, Liu Mei frowned slightly and said: "I don't agree with Sister Bao's words. Doctors can help the world and save the people. They are really blessings for the common people. Why are you not serious!"

Not to mention anything else, but the cowpox that my senior brother always mentioned, it is a great merit if it is done!Senior brothers and the Imperial Hospital have worked so hard for several years, but when they arrived at Baochai, the word "Laoshizi" came out of their mouths. How could Daiyu not be angry.

Baochai paused with a smile, turned her eyes around Baoyu and Daiyu twice, took a deep look at Daiyu, folded her hands and stopped talking.

Baoyu laughed and said: "What my sister said is exactly what I want. There is nothing wrong with being a doctor, and there is nothing good about the imperial examination. People in the world try to catch fame and reputation, but they are just a bunch of beetles. It's better to laugh and laugh with the sisters."

He only thought that Daiyu had the same interests as himself, and he was quite happy for a while.

Daiyu was still immersed in Baochai's look at her, for some reason she always felt that look was very strange and made people feel uncomfortable.Although she didn't know why, it made her lose her goodwill towards Baochai.

Before she could fully recover, she frowned even more when she heard Baoyu's words: "What are you talking about? Of course, there are good and bad officials in this world. How can they all be classified as the like? , you are so self-proclaimed, isn't it just for fame?"

Baoyu was stunned, and the Sanchun sisters also looked at each other in blank dismay.

When Daiyu came back to her senses, she also felt that she was like what her senior brother said to be a "smart guy", going after one and then another.

But she didn't regret saying this, not to mention that her father Lin Ruhai was an official of the imperial court, and that Baoyu hated the imperial examination background, but she had heard many stories from her seniors. The development of cowpox, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost exhausted himself from illness when he was young, and Master Tang Bin was most worried about affecting the ceremony of leaving the cabinet when he suffered from chest pain, causing turmoil in the court...

This is only what the senior brother sees, and what the senior brother can't see. Although many officials in the court are thinking about their future and fame, they are indeed doing their best to plan for the people of the world.How did it come to Baoyu that it was "a lu beetle fishing for fame"?

In the end, it's just that Jia Baoyu's vision is narrow, and he can't see the sky and the sky outside!

Daiyu snorted coldly, too lazy to talk to this idiot.

The scene was awkward for a moment, Yingchun tugged on Baoyu's sleeve, and whispered: "Uncle Lin."

"Damn it! Damn it! It turned out that I said something wrong with my mouth, please don't blame my sister!"

Baoyu repeatedly apologized to Daiyu, but Daiyu was just indifferent and didn't pay much attention to it.It's fine for the others, and Tanchun's heart can't help being sour and envious. If she was also born in the main family, even if she was born in a small family, she can live as comfortably as Sister Lin.

She changed the subject with a smile: "I'm surprised to see Sister Lin's paintings."

Everyone followed her gaze, and there was indeed a painting hanging on the wall, but it was black and white, it looked different from ordinary ink and wash, the hibiscus in the painting was so lifelike, it seemed like it was about to come alive.

Xichun loves painting the most, just now she turned her back and didn't see it, but now looking at this painting makes her feel crazy.Seeing that her neck was about to break, Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't look at it that way, I'll show you another picture."

All of a sudden everyone gathered in front of Daiyu's desk, and there was a painting on the table, half of which was completed, and the other half was still a draft. Xichun was even more excited when she saw the half-finished work, and immediately went to the table to savor it carefully .

"This girl is the most insane," Baochai joked with Xichun with a smile, and then asked Daiyu, "I saw that the landscape you painted is actually a landscape?"

"That's right, I had nothing to do when I came here, and I just saw some mountains and rivers, but it's not a disappointment to draw them."

Tanchun laughed and said, "I haven't seen a big river yet, but I saw it first from my sister's painting."

Yingchun was surprised: "What kind of painting is this, I have never seen it before."

"This is a sketch," Daiyu said with a smile, "It was originally taught to me by my brother."

"My sister's senior brother is really a wonderful person," Baoyu praised, "I would like to make friends with him, when is the last time we see each other!"

Daiyu turned her face away, she didn't think senior brother could be friends with Jia Baoyu!

Baochai was not interested in Daiyu's senior brother, so she just smiled and said, "I heard that my sister went to Beijing with relatives?"

I heard that the family's servants are very useful, and the carriage they found is also magnificent, but I don't know which family it is.

Daiyu gave a faint "hmm" and didn't want to say more, she just pointed at Xichun and asked Tanchun with a smile, "How long will it take for her to recover?"

Tanchun thought about it: "It depends on the situation. Sister Lin's painting will take ten or eight years after I look at it."

"Just talk nonsense," Daiyu smiled and thumped her.

Tanchun laughed again: "I saw that my sister's painting brushes are not ordinary?"

"That's right, this pen is specially made. Because the tip is strong and sharp, it is used to draw delicate lines..." Daiyu recalled that Tanchun was good at calligraphy, and said with a smile, "Writing is also very special, come and see."

As she spoke, she took out a pencil from the pen holder, took another piece of paper, and wrote a few lines on the paper.

Tanchun put his hands together and praised: "It's really special, it's completely different from the usual calligraphy, but the font is too small, it's a bit laborious to look at."

Daiyu slapped the paper on her face angrily: "This way you can see clearly!"

Tanchun laughed and ran away, and the two quarreled for a while, until the servant girl notified Lin that shopkeeper had arrived. Sanchun and the others only said that Daiyu had something to do, so they wanted to leave, and Daiyu didn't stay.Seeing that Xichun was reluctant to leave, he had no choice but to give her a sketch, Tanchun a pencil, Xue Baochai tea leaves, Yingchun a chess book, and Baoyu...

"You never lack anything, and I don't know what you like, so I won't give it away!"

Jia Baoyu was disappointed, but he had nothing to say.

After sending everyone away, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief.She is happy to be with her sisters, but she is tired of Jia Baoyu's lack of propriety, and his ideas and concepts are not in line with hers. Every time she sees him, Daiyu is always in a bad mood, but now she is gone.

The maids packed up their things swiftly, and only then did Shopkeeper Lin come in.

Shopkeeper Lin is now in charge of a grocery store, but more often than not, he takes care of Daiyu's daily needs and delivers letters to Daiyu and Lin Ruhai.He didn't come alone, he brought two young servants to carry a big box, and after he came in, he directed the young servants to put down the box, and then asked An: "How is everything, girl?"

"It's all good," Daiyu said with a smile, "Uncle Lin came here three days ago, why did he come again, but the letter from father has arrived?"

Shopkeeper Lin smiled: "Shixin fruits are on the market, and I bought some for the girl to try out. The other thing is..." He pointed in the direction of the palace, "... I have a letter, and the servant dare not delay, so I will give it to the girl. delivered."

Daiyu's eyes lit up: "Let me have a look."

Shopkeeper Lin opened the big box and found a small box from the bottom corner.

Daiyu opened the box, and saw that besides a letter, there was also a thick stack of papers inside.After a little flipping, it turned out that they were all sketches, and at first glance they were handwritten by the senior.It's just that there is something I have never seen in the painting, and I don't know what it is.

Daiyu suppressed her doubts and read the letter carefully.

Yinzuo naturally wouldn't hide it from Daiyu, he has always been willing to share his life, and this time he asked Daiyu for help, and it was even more so when he asked Daiyu for help. He vividly told how the fifth elder brother was talented, how he and Kangxi discovered it, and so on. I am amazed.Then he talked about his plan, he only wanted to draw some crops and dishes to make a booklet, but unfortunately his sketching level... emm, so he asked Daiyu for help.

Only then did Daiyu realize what this thick box of paintings meant, and she couldn't help laughing.

However, after laughing, Daiyu slowly felt proud again.

voila!Although the senior brother is studying medicine, he can help his brother and at the same time have the world in his heart. How can it be compared to those who hang around in the backyard? !

Daiyu doesn't feel burdened, she doesn't have much to do in the back house, besides, she has to practice sketching every day, so she is very happy to be able to help her brother, not to mention what she is doing is a great event that is beneficial to the country .So Daiyu puts extra care into painting, if Nurse Ning hadn't been watching over her all the time, and Daiyu herself was also concerned about her body, she would almost have to work day and night.

Fortunately, Yinzuo sent the first draft of his painting, because Yinzuo already knew the original appearance of these things, so the paintings are very close, Daiyu doesn't need to spend too much imagination, but saves a lot of energy.

Three days later, Daiyu called shopkeeper Lin into the mansion, handed over the drawing and a letter to Yinzuo.

Shopkeeper Lin agreed.

The stack of sketches is so thick, it seems that the letter is very thin.Daiyu didn't write anything, she just said that if the painting is not suitable, circle it and ask her to redraw it.

Soon Daiyu received a reply from Yinzuo, saying that her painting was very good and suitable, so she didn't mention her compliments and thanks.Yinzuo also gave Daiyu some prescriptions, which were the golden potato delicacies he prepared for the fifth elder brother.

Yin Zuo joked: Brother Wu hasn't eaten it yet, but you tasted it before him.

It is customary to tell Daiyu not to eat too much.

Daiyu snorted softly: "Always nagging like this!" But the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Daiyu asked Xueyan to take Fangzi to the kitchen, while she re-laid the paper and started to draw again.Sister Ning saw the half-finished outline, and wondered: "Young lady, why did you draw these again? Didn't the six princes say it was okay?"

Daiyu didn't lift her head and said: "It's fine if you didn't know before, now that you know, let the servants in our mansion pay more attention, I'm afraid it's not convenient for us to stay in the palace."

Although she is not as knowledgeable as her senior brother, but she has some people, so she can do a little bit of effort, which can be regarded as a heartfelt gesture.

Nurse Ning sighed: "The girl has a heart."

She has stayed in the palace for many years and met many outstanding people, but Daiyu can be regarded as extremely intelligent in her eyes. When she first met her, she was a clever but sensitive little girl. Acting is getting more and more atmospheric.

I just don't know if it's because of Sixth Brother.

Yin Zuo didn't know these thoughts of Nanny Ning. At this time, he was arranging and binding the paintings sent by Daiyu, and making them into a booklet with captions.After sealing the book cover and writing the name of the booklet, Yinzuo paused where the author's name should have been written, but did not write.

After everything was finished, Yin Zuo flipped through the booklet, looking at the exquisite pictures inside, he felt both admiration and regret in his heart.

I like Daiyu, her paintings are really aura, every plant and object not only looks similar, but seems to have life.

It is also a pity that Daiyu, with such a powerful talent and such a rare painting method, should have become a bright star in the painting world and passed on to future generations, but now she can only be buried in the back house. Embarrassing?

However, even if it is embarrassing, Yin Zuo has nothing to do now, but can only do nothing.

He put away the booklet, got up and went to Yonghe Palace.

He has already sent someone to invite the fifth elder brother to the Yonghe Palace, and he will give him a gift today.In fact, there is no small kitchen in Gandong No. [-], and some of the dishes prepared by Yin Zuo are the best just out of the pan, so I can only trouble Brother Wu to make a trip.

Concubine De didn't have any objections, she specially cleaned up the area around the small kitchen, and restrained the little concubines in the palace from walking around at will, and only vacated the space for Yin Zuo and Fifth Elder Brother.

Other people in Yonghe Palace were fine, but Hu Tuling'a and Shisan were very excited. It was rare that they helped Yinzuo run forward and back with a sense of ownership, and they were still chanting inexplicable lines, as if they were playing a house.

Xiongzi Shisi ran along for a while, and found that he couldn't catch up with his brother and sister's speed, so he turned his head and hugged Yinzuo's leg: "Eat!"

"What to eat?" Yin Zuo gently kicked him away, "You can't eat, go to breastfeed."

Fourteen's little brows frowned and were about to throw a tantrum, but Hu Tuling'a and Thirteen suddenly became excited.Yinzuo turned his head and saw that it was the fifth elder brother who came, accompanied by the fourth princess, the fifth princess, and the fourth elder brother.

Yinzuo didn't expect the fourth elder brother to come, so he couldn't help being stunned.

Does he know that he is not afraid of Tong Jiashi?
