It's the end of the new year, this year Yinzuo's New Year's gift for female relatives and friends is the Yan Ruyu face cream set.

I didn't know the effect before, so it is not easy to use it for others. Now that I know the effect is good, and I have a good reputation outside the palace, it is more appropriate to give it to others.

Yin Zuo prepared a few sets for the Queen Mother, Concubine De, several princesses and Da Fujin. There are sets suitable for all skin types. In addition to their own use, they can also be kept as rewards.

"Miss Lin, don't forget too," Yin Zuo reminded.

"Yes," Deqing said with a smile, "I told the shopkeeper Xu long ago, and only said that he was entrusted by the fourth princess. Remember Miss Lin if there is anything good, and it must have been delivered by now."

Yinzuo just nodded.

What Deqing said was right, shopkeeper Xu did remember Yinzuo's advice, even though the shop is extremely busy now, he still came to ask to see Daiyu together with Chunping.

Knowing their purpose, Daiyu smiled and said, "Please take this trip."

"Miss, you're welcome," Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile, "We're just listening to the master's order. You and the fourth princess should be on good terms."

Daiyu heard that the fourth princess was taken aback, and then she pursed her lips and smiled.Zhu Ying and Xueyan looked at each other, and they both bent their eyebrows and smiled. They naturally knew that this was what the sixth elder brother meant. Obviously, the sixth elder brother borrowed the name of the fourth princess for the sake of the girl's reputation. It is really considerate.

Daiyu raised her head and asked Chunping to check her skin quality. Chunping smiled and said, "The girl's skin is very good, not dry or oily, it is the best neutral skin type to take care of. And the girl's skin is fair and rosy, but it is not The makeup looks great too.”

Daiyu couldn't help laughing when she heard these familiar and somewhat strange words.

Chunping checked Daiyu's skin quality, and tailored a set of face cream for her, Xueyan remembered something and said with a smile: "Isn't the girl worried about what New Year's gift to give to the girls during the Chinese New Year? This is very good for the servants. "

Daiyu's heart moved: "I just heard that Yan Ruyu's facial fat is in short supply, and many people can't get it if they want to. I wonder if shopkeeper Xu still has more?"

Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile, "Of course there aren't any others, but we have reserved some in our shop for our own people. Except for the ones sent to the palace, there are still a lot left, so you can rest assured, girl. "

"Then I'll take advantage of it. I'll invite my sisters over here, and I'll trouble you to take a look at it for them," Daiyu said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Xu and Chunping said, "It should."

Daiyu asked someone to invite the sisters to come over, and took the silver to shopkeeper Xu. Shopkeeper Xu accepted the reward, but he refused to accept the money for the facial fat. The raw materials are just a few medicinal materials, not worth anything. If you take your money, the master will punish you when you go back, so please spare us."

Daiyu can't, and can only do so.

The crowd waited for a while, but they didn't wait for Sanchun to come. It was a mandarin duck who came: "I was talking about coming to invite a girl. Miss Bao got some good things. Because there are so many things that are hard to move, now they are only placed in the ancestor's place. Please invite the girl." Let's go and choose. Since Miss Lin also has something to give to the girls, why don't we go together."

"It's hard for Sister Bao to think about us," Daiyu thought for a while and said, "That's all right, shopkeeper Xu and Sister Chunping will accompany me for a walk?"

Shopkeeper Xu and Chunping naturally agreed, and they all went to Jia Mu with their things.

It was the bustling time at Jiamu's place, so Baochai and Sanchun were naturally there, and Baoyu and Wang Xifeng also came to join in the fun. Everyone gathered around the table to look at the delicate bottles and jars on it, wondering: "Is this Yan Ruyu's face cream? Listen It is said to be very useful, but the supply is in short supply, and you can't buy it in a hurry, so how did Sister Bao buy it?"

"If you really want to buy it, it's not too difficult, just send a few more people to guard it in turn, and grab it as soon as it's in stock," Baochai said with a smile, "I said I wanted it, so my brother hired a dozen people to guard it." Let’s grab these sets in a few days.”

"Amitabha, thanks to Brother Xue's patience," Tanchun said with a smile, "I smell the fragrance is light and long, and it smells very good. It's strange that Yan Ruyu's things are expensive! Plus the money for hiring someone, I'm afraid it will cost more too much!"

Baochai laughed and said: "Silver is nothing, but the shop is very prosperous now, and there is no 'beauty artist' to come to the mansion to test the skin quality, and I don't know if the sets I bought are suitable."

"It's rare to be able to buy it, so what should I pay attention to?" Baoyu comforted her, "Before Yan Ruyu appeared, we didn't pay attention to the skin type when we used face cream, did we?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "That's right, what is appropriate or not, now it's important to use Western scenery first!"

Everyone laughed: "That's true!"

Everyone picks and chooses the facial fat they like, and Jia Mu smiles and sees the fun of the younger generation, and then listens to the servant girl to tell that Daiyu is here.

Jia Mu hurriedly asked someone to invite Daiyu in, and seeing that there were two people following her, she wondered, "Who are these two?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "It was Yan Ruyu's shopkeeper Xu and sister Chunping who came to bring me face cream. I thought it was rare for them to come, so I asked them to test the skin quality of all the sisters, and match each of them with one." For facial grease."

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent.

Baochai's face froze, and she couldn't keep her smile.

She just said how rare Yan Ruyu's face cream is, and how hard it is to grab these sets, and she couldn't even get a 'beauty teacher', so she turned her face and Daiyu brought someone over, isn't it just a slap in the face!

Everyone didn't expect things to turn out like this, and looked at each other for a moment.Fortunately, Wang Xifeng reacted quickly and smoothed things over with a loud smile: "Ouch~ Isn't this a coincidence? Sister Lin and Sister Xue actually wanted to go together."

Only then did Daiyu discover Yan Ruyu's facial fat on the table next to Baochai's hand, she was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It turns out that my elder sister Bao is more thoughtful than I am."

Baochai has adjusted her expression and returned to a dignified and gentle expression: "Where is Sister Lin, I just said that I don't know whether it is suitable for the skin type of the sisters, so you brought someone here, isn't it just right?"

For a while, Chunping tested the skin quality for everyone, and added facial fat, but not all the ones Baochai bought were suitable, so shopkeeper Xu had to make up for them.

Seeing that all the sisters and sisters were there, Baoyu came forward with a smile and said, "I'm still there. Please, sister, check it out for me too."

Chunping gave him a surprised look, seeing that everyone was surprised, so she had to suppress her doubts and show him, and finally gave him a set of face cream.

After all the excitement was over, Xichun smiled and asked Daiyu, "Sister Lin is free, I'll go to your place to look at the paintings."

Daiyu welcomes her naturally, and Yingchun and Tanchun go with her. Baochai sits still, and Baoyu pulls her and says, "Sister Bao. Let's go together too. I'll ask Sister Chunping how to adjust the facial fat. "

Baochai laughed. Can someone tell you the recipe for doing business easily?

She just smiled and changed the subject: "Why don't you go to school these days, you just play around with your sister and sister all day long."

Baoyu snorted softly: "The old ancestor said that I have worked hard to read the books for so many days, and I can relax occasionally, and it doesn't matter if I have a good time with my sisters."

……

When Yinzuo's facial fat was sent to Gandongtou, the elder brother was writing out the scriptures for missions to the West.

After more than a month, several revisions, additions and deletions, and many inquiries were made, and this book was finally completed.

Nalan Mingzhu helped the elder brother to do this these days, and now that it is finally completed, he can't help but heaved a long sigh of relief, took a sip of tea and sighed: "The emperor is too partial, to give you such an errand, it's just a waste of time , may not be able to get any credit. It is better for the prince to be a military doctor. The training has the example of the teaching hall of the Tai Hospital, and the sixth brother and the Western doctor are sent to the battlefield and military medicine for a few days. Ready-made credit, that's good!"

He frowned and said: "So you are the most familiar with military affairs, relying on your prestige in the army, you can also fight against the prince, but after this matter, it may not be the case. The emperor gave the prince the errand. Could it be that he intends to suppress you?"

The elder brother said: "It was the sixth brother who first handed over the matter of the military doctor to the prince."

"Sixth elder brother just came up with an idea, and he can't talk about employing people. If the emperor really has the heart, what trouble would it be if he changed the job to you?"

The eldest brother paused with his hands, his face was not very good-looking.

Nalan Mingzhu frowned and said: "Obviously you are the eldest son, and your talents are not inferior to the prince's, so why should you be overwhelmed by him everywhere!"

Big Brother pursed his lips: "Stop talking."

Nalan Mingzhu hated iron but said: "You should also take care of yourself, the most important thing is to do a good job to please the emperor. Otherwise, how can there be a place for you in this palace in the future?"

The elder brother said impatiently: "Since you told me to do my job well, why do you keep talking and disturbing my mind?"

Nalan Mingzhu choked, and closed her mouth.

The elder brother continued to transcribe, but he was a little absent-minded.Just now Nalan Mingzhu's words still moved him a little bit, these years because Khan Ama favored the crown prince, he heard a lot of such words, but he still felt uncomfortable.

He compares himself with the prince everywhere, but in fact he just wants to prove to Khan Ama that he is not inferior to the prince.

The elder brother was upset, but he didn't show it on his face.It just so happened that Yinzuo's facial fat was delivered, he waved his hand: "Just send it to Fujin."

"Wait," Nalan Mingzhu stopped the palace servant, "Brother, let's ask the imperial physician to see what is used on the face."

"What do you mean?" Big Brother frowned.

"Prevention is essential!" Nalan Mingzhu said, "Sixth elder brother has always been on good terms with the prince, who would have known that this face is fat... I remember that sixth elder brother said that Da Fujin should not be pregnant, you should know if You can lead your husband to be the eldest grandson of the emperor, and you have an additional advantage over the prince. The sixth elder brother didn't make Da Fujin pregnant, could it be..."

Hearing Nalan Mingzhu's doubts about Yin Zuo, the elder brother suddenly heard that it seemed quite reasonable, but the eldest elder brother couldn't help laughing: Yin Zuo is not such a person!

His originally agitated mood instantly calmed down, that's right, Nalan Mingzhu was too suspicious, this was true for the sixth younger brother, not necessarily for Khan Ama and the prince.

He laughed and said, "Gu Mafa thinks too much, but the sixth brother doesn't mean that."

"Big Brother..."

The elder brother waved his hand: "You don't need to say more, I know the sixth brother, he treats me and the prince the same."

Nalan Mingzhu was puzzled and said: "The slave looks at it but it's not the case, he has more contacts with the prince than you!"

"That's because you misread it. If you don't believe me, look again tomorrow!"

Nalan Mingzhu couldn't persuade her, and when she left, she was still full of doubts, not understanding what the big brother meant by 'see you tomorrow'.

Little did he know that shortly after he left, the eldest elder brother went to Gandong No. [-] Institute with a bow.

Seeing the big brother coming in with Zhang Gong, Yin Zuo immediately stepped back tactically: "Brother, what are you doing, calm down, don't be impulsive!"

Eldest elder brother Da Lala sat across from Yin Zuo, patted his bow on the table and said, "This is your annual gift."

Yinzuo breathed a sigh of relief: "...Brother, you are too polite. If you want to return my annual gift, it is better to give the money directly."

The elder brother rolled his eyes at him: "Before Khan Ama asked me to teach you how to ride and shoot boxing kicks. I have been busy all the time. Now the errands are almost done. After the next year, you can practice kung fu with me!"

Yin Zuo suddenly had a bitter face: "I'm very busy..."

"No matter how busy you are, you can't be negligent in riding and shooting. We Manchus started riding and shooting, and Khan Ama is so busy every day and still insists on riding and shooting." The elder brother taught.

Yinzuo: "..."

Yin Zuo choked speechlessly, what excuses did he have to find, the elder brother had already handed over a brochure: "Look, is there anything wrong?"

Yinzuo's attention was immediately diverted, and he took the newly released brochure to read.Now it is very difficult to go to sea, Yinzuo is not good at other aspects, mainly in medicine.Seeing that the big elder brother wrote in the brochure that he brought a doctor of Chinese and Western medicine, and that medicinal materials were considered as medicines, and a lot of fruits and vegetables were specially added according to Yinzuo's request, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Big Brother laughed and said, "It's all right, it's just that fruits and vegetables are not easy to store."

"It's okay, you can make dried vegetables, pickled vegetables or canned food. Bring more beans to sprout on the boat, and you can go ashore to replenish them on the road. There are more ways than difficulties. In any case, we must ensure the supply of vegetables and fruits, otherwise we will suffer from scurvy. !"

The elder brother heard Yinzuo describe the tragedy of scurvy in detail last time, and he still has lingering fears when he thinks about it now, so he nodded immediately.He also said: "The purpose of our going to sea is to find new things. You know what is good about medicinal plants, or if you want anything, just make a list and give it to me, so that people can focus on it."

"I'll discuss it with the gentlemen later," Yin Zuo said with a smile, "When will the fleet depart?"

"It will still take half a year," Eldest Brother said, "I still need to discuss with the ministers, prepare ships, accompanying soldiers, military supplies, and select accompanying officials, all of which will take time."

Yinzuo nodded, it's still early!But the matter of the military doctor might be finalized earlier.

The two talked for a while, and the elder brother got up to leave, and Yinzuo went to see him off. Halfway through, the elder brother suddenly remembered something: "I heard that you have a picture book in your hand?"

"The comic strip of "The Three Little Pigs"?" Seeing the big brother nodding, Yinzuo said with a smile, "There is such a book, how did the big brother know?"

"I heard from Xiao Ba, it's very beautiful?"

Yinzuo gave him a strange look, and asked someone to give him a copy.

Big Brother turned two pages and looked at the lifelike piglets and childish stories: "..."

Yinzuo shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you, brother, to be so handsome, that you would like to read this kind of book?"

Eldest brother's eyes drifted away: "I just see that Xiaoba likes it, so I'll ask him for a copy..."

Yinzuo nodded: "Oh!"

Big brother: "..."

Yinzuo didn't take this matter to heart, he didn't expect that two days later, when he went to greet Concubine De, Concubine De also mentioned the comic book: "Several concubines have asked me, do you have more?"

"I only asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to print five copies, and now there are only two left, but the engraving has already been done, and now it's easy to print again," Yinzuo said, "I'm curious, why so many people want it so suddenly?" I have a comic book, and my eldest brother asked me for a copy just now."

"Not yet fourteen," Concubine De sighed helplessly, "A few days ago Fourteen went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, but she showed off in front of the princes and daughters with a book."

Yin Zuo snorted softly: "It really is him."

This is a trivial matter, Yinzuo only told Deqing to do it, only asked about it two or three days later, and learned that it had been printed and sent to the princes and daughters, and only asked to send two copies to the two nieces of the elder brother's family That's all.

In a few days it will be the New Year, and on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yinzuo packed up and ran to Gandong No. [-] and knocked on the door of the fourth elder brother: "Fourth brother, it's time for us to go to the Yonghe Palace to greet Er Niang."

The fourth elder brother was silent for a while, then nodded under Yin Zuo's nervous gaze.

Yinzuo breathed a sigh of relief when he ascended, it is reasonable that the princes and princesses would greet their mother and concubine on the first day of the Lunar New Year. In the past, because of the Tong Jia family, the fourth elder brother had never been to the Yonghe Palace. Fourth elder brother has been very sad these days, I'm afraid he is still unwilling to go, wouldn't that hurt Concubine De's heart?

Fortunately, the fourth elder brother agreed.

Yin Zuo took the fourth elder brother to go out, and the little Jingba Yuntuan saw that the master was about to leave, Baba wagged his tail at the feet of the fourth elder brother, the fourth elder brother hugged Yunduo to comfort him for a while, and stuffed it into the arms of the little eunuch who took care of it. He went out the door without looking back, and he could still hear the pitiful cry of Little Jingba after walking a long way.

Seeing that the fourth elder brother wanted to turn his head back and hug it, Yinzuo was so jealous that he almost bleed, and said quietly: "I knew I would have picked a dog too."

The fourth elder brother smiled and said, "You still don't want you to hug that cloud ball?"

Yinzuo shook his head, not to mention hugging, it would be nice to be able to pet him, he is really a very reserved and proud cat master.

"Fourth brother, I'll quietly go to your place to hold the cloud later, shall I?" You can't let Yunqiu know, lest the cat owner will get angry again.

and many more!

Yinzuo suddenly remembered that when they first met, Yunqiu didn't even look at him, but only touched him after seeing him wanting to hug Little Jingba.

Yinzuo's heart moved: "You should go to my place with the cloud in your arms!"

Fourth elder brother: "...?"

Yinzuo smiled, and turned around to let Yunqiu know what it is to chase after the master's crematorium!

Make it proud!Let it be reserved!

Yin Zuo and the fourth elder brother paid New Year greetings to Concubine De, needless to say that Concubine De was surprised and pleasantly surprised, several people talked for a while, but the fourth elder brother would not come for a long time, it would be awkward to get along with each other. Let them go on the grounds that they want to attend the palace banquet.

Today, Kangxi held a family banquet in the Qianqing Palace to reunite with the prince's clan for the New Year. Yinzuo and Si elder brother took Thirteen and Fourteen to the Qianqing Palace. When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the princes sat according to senior and younger. Yinzuo twisted on the seat Fourteen glanced back and forth, and said to Thirteen, "Look at Fourteen, don't make him make trouble, if he doesn't obey, tell me to beat him up."

Thirteen responded loudly.

Fourteen subconsciously covered his little butt, and glared at Yin Zuo angrily.

Yinzuo snorted softly and sat down at his seat, looked around, many people in the clan did not recognize Yinzuo, the eldest elder brother and the crown prince had already arrived, they were sitting next to each other, but they were silent and did not speak , the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing.The fourth elder brother and the third elder brother were talking, and Yin Zuo was not interested in what poetry and scriptures they were talking about. The fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother hadn't come yet, and Yin Zuo met the eighth elder brother in a blink of an eye.

Yinzuo nodded slightly: "Eighth brother."

A smile appeared in the eyes of the eighth elder brother, and the voice of the young man as gentle as jade was clear and clear: "It's been a long time since I saw you, how is the sixth brother?"

"It's all good," Yinzuo was a little guilty. He always felt that the other party was laughing at him for not going to the Shang study for a long time. Thinking of the book that the elder brother took away, Yinzuo joked, "Is "The Three Little Pigs" good?"

Not far away, the elder brother paused slightly as he turned the wine glass.

The eighth brother's smile also froze, and before he could speak, two heads poked out from his shoulders, and said with a smile: "It's beautiful, "The Three Little Pigs" is very beautiful!"

Yinzuo laughed: "Ninth brother, tenth brother."

Nine elder brothers leaned in front of Yin Zuo and smiled, "Does sixth brother still have books like "The Three Little Pigs"? I won't let sixth brother suffer, I can buy it with money."

Yin Zuo wondered: "Do you like reading this kind of book?"

Brother Jiu is now nine years old, do you still like this kind of book?

"We are brothers, and I won't hide it from you, Brother Six, I'm going to sell it!" Brother Ninth smirked, "I think all younger brothers and sisters like this book, even my tenth brother and I, it must be very good Sell! I still don’t have access to the outside world, but in addition to our brothers and sisters, there are many little palace ladies and eunuchs in the palace, and there are also clan companions, etc., so I don’t have to worry about not making money!”

Yinzuo looked at him in surprise, he has such a business mind at such a young age, he deserves to be the ninth master who will do business all over the country in the future.

Yin Zuo patted Brother Jiu on the shoulder with relief: "I think you are right, I will sell like this in the future!"

Brother Nine: "..."

Brother Jiu was stunned for a moment before he understood Yinzuo's meaning, and said angrily, "I told you only because I treated you as a brother, how can you be so disrespectful!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer!" Yin Zuo smiled, "I hired you to be my general manager?"

Brother Nine wondered: "What is the general manager?"

Yin Zuo teased Brother Jiu and told him what the general manager meant.It might as well be that Shishi next to him played with a few children from the clan, and took out "The Three Little Pigs" and started to show off, while Shisan, who was entrusted by Yin Zuo, stopped Shishi a little bit, and soon joined the army of showing off .

"You haven't seen this kind of book, have you? It was made by my sixth brother!"

"The sixth elder brother only gave us the ones that are not available outside the palace."

"Do you want to see it?"

There were a lot of children from the clan today, and soon they formed a group chattering, and surrounded Yinzuo before he could react.

"Sixth Brother/Sixth Uncle, I want a book!"

Yinzuo: "!!!"

Before he could react, brother Jiu stood up with his hands on his hips and said, "Let go of my sixth brother! I'm the general manager, anyone who wants to buy books come to me!"

Everyone: "...?"

buy books?
