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

Accompanied by Yunqiu, Daiyu's recuperation days are more interesting.

Two days later, Daiyu's health improved a lot, so she put on her makeup again and went out with Yinzuo.When Yinzuo saw a doctor, she helped to write the pulse case, told stories to the children in her spare time, taught them to draw and write, and there were many laughter in Huangzhuang.Daiyu herself is happier day by day.

During the period, they also met Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu didn't recognize Daiyu at all, but Yinzuo's eyes lit up when he saw Yinzuo: "Little brother, I met you again."

Yinzuo nodded: "Master Jia."

Jia Baoyu: "Did you come with the imperial physician?"

Yinzuo: "Yes."

He was as cold as ever, but Baoyu was not as sticky as before, and after a few words, he bid farewell to Yinzuo.

Yin Zuo looked at his back thoughtfully: "He has changed a lot."

"Since he was beaten by the second uncle, he has changed a bit, but he has become more stable, not as frivolous as before," Daiyu recalled, "Perhaps the second uncle pressured him to study, and finally learned some truths."

Seeing that Daiyu admired Baoyu's changes, Yinzuo immediately rang the alarm, and said quickly: "He has become more stable, but he has also become vicissitudes. Look at how ugly he is with his unshaven beard!"

"Being forced to read a few books and tossing myself like this, what can I do in the future?"

"He also boasts that he loves his sisters the most, and he didn't even recognize you just now, and that's all I can see!"

Daiyu: "..."

Daiyu asked suspiciously, "You don't like him very much?"

Like a chicken being strangled by the neck, Yinzuo hummed "hmm".

"Okay," Daiyu said with a smile, "then I don't like him either."

Yinzuo: "..."

Thanks, I got caught.

……

Daiyu's happy life lasted for a few days, and soon everyone in Jia's family was successfully vaccinated and out of the observation period, and was about to leave Huangzhuang.

Yinzuo felt Daiyu's pulse for the last time, thinking that the two of them would be separated soon, Yinzuo smiled and said, "There is still less than a year left before the two-year period, maybe we will meet again soon."

Daiyu blushed immediately, and asked someone to hug the cloud ball to Yinzuo: "Give it back to you."

However, before Yinzuo stretched out his hand, Yunqiu gave Yinzuo a vicious meow, and ran towards Daiyu desperately.

Yinzuo: "..."

"That's all, this cat was meant to be given to you. Since you are in love with each other, I won't be such a villain."

Daiyu gave him a blank look, thought for a while and took a scroll of paintings from the desk to him: "You gave me the cat, and I don't have anything else for you, just this."

"What's the painting?" Yinzuo was about to open it to have a look, but Daiyu quickly stopped him, "Let's look at it when we're alone."

Seeing that her face was flushed, Yin Zuo was very curious. After returning home, he found someone to open the scroll. The familiar sketch handwriting was exactly the scene of him curing a disease. I don't know how Daiyu drew it. Everyone painted clearly, but Yin Zuo was particularly conspicuous, as if only this person was in the eyes of the painter.

Yinzuo coughed lightly. Many girls gave him presents before, but they never had such intentions. He was a little embarrassed at once, so he kept it carefully and didn't mention it.

In the early morning of the next day, Daiyu left Huangzhuang together with Jia's family. The farewell had already been said, and this time Yinzuo stood with Nalan Xingde, watching Daiyu get into the carriage wearing a veiled hat, and then went further and further away. .

Nalan Xingde smiled and said: "You have taken care of Miss Lin these few days with all your heart, the fourth princess should thank you very much, right?"

Yin Zuo just smiled.

Daiyu left, but Yinzuo couldn't leave. He kept busy until half of the winter passed, and most people in the capital had their pox vaccinated before returning to the capital.

Nalan Xingde went back with Yinzuo, on the way Yinzuo saw that he didn't seem to be very interested, and said with a smile: "Nalan's guard is so happy to think about leaving?"

He was joking, but Nalan Xingde actually nodded his head: "It's really nice to live in Zhuangzi."

It is indeed a good place to forget your worries for a while.

Yinzuo didn't know his melancholy, he just took it as a literati sentiment, nodded and didn't say much.But Nalan Xingde asked him about the West: "You have been with foreigners a lot, do you know what the sea and the West look like?"

When it comes to this Yinzuo, I don't feel sleepy anymore. Anyway, I am idle, so I talk to him.

Yin Zuo really asked the missionaries about the current situation of the sea and the West, added the information known to later generations, and combined with the stories he had heard to make a certain dramatic exaggeration, so the voyage in his mouth was full of dangers but magnificent, and the West in his mouth had something It is backward, but it is also full of novelty and beauty.

After a while, Yin Zuo and Nalan Xingde were surrounded by many soldiers. Everyone listened with great interest, and when they arrived in the capital, they still felt that they had more to say.

But Yin Zuo couldn't tell them any more, he joked with a smile: "If you go to the West, you will know, our mission ship is about to leave."

All the soldiers: "..." slipped away.

No one wants to go to the West, one is dangerous, and the other is that the merits may not be great. It is not that there are no merchant ships to trade with foreign countries, but they have not brought a few good things back, which shows that this trip is not easy.If they don't get any credit at the risk of their lives, why don't they vomit to death?

These soldiers thought so, and so did the ministers in the court.Therefore, the matter of sending an envoy to the West has been discussed for a long time, but the envoy has been unable to make a decision.It's fine to pretend to be dead and keep quiet. The Pearl Party and the Suo'etu Party are still dragging each other's legs, hoping to pit each other's left and right arms into this deep pit.

Going to the west is very dangerous, it would be best if you die on the way, even if you are lucky enough to survive, it will take two or three years to go back and forth, and the envoy is useless.Wouldn't it be flattering to destroy the opponent's capable generals without bloodshed?Nalan Mingzhu and Suo'etu's abacus were clinking, but Kangxi didn't make a statement, and the matter stagnated for a while.

Yinzuo just sighed when he learned about it: "These people who are recommended now are unwilling, and they may not be able to do things well when they go to the West. Khan Ama is not happy."

"It may not be very suitable," Eighth Brother shook his head and said, "The courtiers know too little about the West, so it is reasonable to be unwilling."

Brother Jiu slapped the table: "Why don't I go and ask Han Ama for a job? Xiyang has made us so much money, and Feng Shui has changed, so it's time for us to earn it back. At that time, I will fill the boat with things, and when I come back, I will pay for it." Change it to gold and silver!"

"Good ambition!" Yinzuo applauded and praised, "What's more important is that your business can go to the west, which is much more prestigious than in the capital!"

Ninth elder brother showed yearning: "Sixth brother, mynah, you can accompany me to talk to Han Ama."

The eighth elder brother laughed and said: "Khan Ama will not ask you to go."

"Is it because I'm young?" Brother Nine said righteously, "You don't have to be young to be ambitious!"

"Ah," Yin Zuo hesitated, "I think age aside, Khan Ama must first be worried that you went to the West and sold yourself for money."

"Pfft—" This was the sound of Brother Ten spouting snacks.

The eighth elder brother also wanted to laugh, but held back for the sake of the ninth elder brother's face.

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes angrily: "Am I that unreliable?"

Yin Zuo nodded seriously: "For the sake of Han Ama's heart, you'd better not join in the fun."

Brother Nine: "..."

Yinzuo smiled and said: "If you have to choose from among the princes, I think the eighth brother is suitable."

The eighth elder brother looks gentle and charming, but he has so many eyes that he has stabbed a hornet's nest. He is really a very good diplomatic talent!

Brother Jiu stopped talking now. Although he thought he was good, he still respected my dear starling.

The eighth elder brother said with a smile: "I'd like to give it a try, I'm afraid Khan Ama disagrees."

You don't need to ask to know that Kangxi definitely disagrees, and Yinzuo is just talking.

Brother Nine wondered, "This matter has something to do with Sixth Brother, aren't you in a hurry?"

"It's Khan Ama's business now," Yin Zuo said leisurely after taking a sip of tea, "Stop meddling in your own business and live longer."

Everyone: "..."

Yinzuo chuckled, mainly because he had confidence in Kangxi, he had made so many preparations in the early stage, could the trembling in the end work?Kangxi was not the kind of emperor who would be ruled by his courtiers!

Besides, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the current situation, so what did it matter if the courtiers were not happy?He didn't think these people were suitable to go to the West!

Not to mention whether their old arms and legs can withstand months of traveling at sea, just looking at their attitude towards the West may not be able to complete their mission.This mission is to learn the strengths of the West. If the envoy always has a sense of superiority from the first country, it will be difficult to settle down and do things well.

In contrast, young people with stronger bodies and more active and open minds are more suitable.

Let's argue now, and I think that soon there will be young people who are interested in this and can't help but jump out.

Yin Zuo had a good idea, indeed someone jumped out to ask for Ying soon, but he never expected that this person would be Nalan Xingde.

Why?

Although Nalan Xingde is young, but he came from a famous family and received orthodox culture since he was a child. He is a serious cultural person!I only heard that he wrote good poems, but I never heard that he was interested in Western culture!

Thinking of the stories he told Nalan Xingde a few days ago, Yinzuo's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried to Nalan Xingde to persuade him, "Don't listen to my nonsense, sailing is not that fun!"

Yin Zuo was afraid that Nalan Xingde would only want to go to the West after hearing his tricks, and when he found out that it was different from what he imagined, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Nalan Xingde smiled slightly: "Then what you said about advanced technology, excellent talents, and excellent crops is true?"

"That's true." Yin Zuo was not talking nonsense in this regard.

"That's right," Nalan Xingde said with a smile, "this servant was planning to go to the West, and it wasn't all because of your story that he made the decision. The servant knows that you are telling a story, and also knows that going to sea is dangerous and difficult, so he has already done it. Prepare yourself mentally, you don't have to worry."

Yinzuo looked at Xingde in amazement, thinking that he first went to guard Huangzhuang for Wucheng Bingmasi for no reason, and when he came back he was not very happy, and now he quickly took up this errand, a guess arose in his heart: "You... ...don't want to stay in the capital?"

Nalan Xingde remained silent.

This is the acquiescence, Yinzuo turned all kinds of guesses in his heart, why he was trapped by love and kept away from sad places.

Didn't it mean that Nalan Xingde had a deep relationship with his dead wife?The phrase "gambling books disappears like a splash of tea, at that time only Taoism was common" is really tactful!Although I heard that he fell in love with another woman later, but I never saw him marry again, and it was a lot of pain to think about it.

Yin Zuo quickly thought up a whole sad story, Nalan Xingde saw his expression getting more and more strange, after a moment of silence, he interrupted: "What is Lord Baylor thinking?"

"It's nothing," Yinzuo gave him a sympathetic look, "I know I can't persuade you, so let's prepare well, the sea is magnificent, I hope you can really fall in love with it."

Nalan Xingde nodded with a smile.

Back home that night, Nalan Xingde saw the servant Nalan Mingzhu sent to wait for him at the door without accident.

He followed the boy to the study room, opened the door and a teacup flew towards him, Nalan Xingde dodged to dodge, the teacup hit the ground heavily and shattered into countless pieces.

Mingzhu reprimanded sharply: "You rebellious son, you still don't kneel down!"

Xingde lifted his robe and knelt down, but his back was straight, and his eyes were looking directly at Mingzhu.

Mingzhu asked with a dark face, "Why did you ask for the decree without discussing it with me?"

"Anyway, you won't agree, it's the same whether you discuss it or not." Xing De said lightly.

"Because you know I don't agree, so you decide on your own?" Nalan Mingzhu said angrily, "Do you know how dangerous it is to go to sea? Why do you go when no one else goes? Are you the smartest in the world?"

Xingde looked at him and smiled slightly: "My health has started to get bad again in the past few months. Maybe I can live if I go out, but I will definitely die if I don't go out. I have no choice."

Nalan Mingzhu lost her voice: "How could this be... Isn't it good?"

Xingde sighed and stopped talking.

As the eldest son, he has been raised for many years and has an indelible sense of responsibility to the family. After all, he can't just watch the Yehenala family go to a dead end. Therefore, even if he tries to persuade himself to relax, he still can't really let go, and his body will naturally not get better.

Going to guard Huangzhuang this time, he only wanted to escape from this suffocating environment temporarily, but he didn't expect to feel better.He can't live in Huangzhuang for a long time, but he can go out with the fleet for a few years. One is out of sight and out of mind, and maybe he can live for a few more years. Two, if he really makes a career, he may leave a way for the family.

He knew Mingzhu would not agree, but he did it anyway.Their father and son have different ideas, so there is really no need to force them to work together.

"My son is not filial, so just pretend you never gave birth to my son!" Nalanxingde kowtowed three times earnestly, got up and left.

Pearl: "..."

Looking at the closed door, Mingzhu seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

That day Nalan Mingzhu sat in the study until midnight, but it was rare for Xingde to turn off the lights and go to bed early.

In a few days, Nalan Xingde set off to leave Beijing. He would first go to the Northeast to participate in sea training with the soldiers, and then set off for the West from there.

"I wish you a smooth journey and a safe return!" Yin Zuo encouraged him, "Train well, maybe in the future you will be called the father of the Qing Dynasty's navigation, or a poet of navigation, and then you will be famous in history."

Nalan Xingde responded with a smile.

Yin Zuo: "Remember to write me a few more poems, put my name in the title, it's up to you whether I can keep my name in history!"

Nalan Xingde: "...you are too famous."

Yinzuo: "It doesn't matter, just promise me!"

"Yes!" Nalanxingde clasped his fists in response.

Yinzuo smiled contentedly: Friends in the 21st world, let's see you in Chinese!

Yin Zuo was making jokes like this, and the parting mood was much more relaxed. Nalan Xingde turned to ask the elder brother: "Can I take a step to talk?"

The elder brother was confused and went to talk with him, Yinzuo couldn't hear what they said, but felt that Nalan Xingde was much more relaxed when he came back, as if some burden had been lifted, but the elder brother became preoccupied .

Nalan Xingde cupped his hands: "This time we are farewell, I don't know if there will be a day to meet again, you two cherish it!"

"Treasure!" Yinzuo and elder brother clasped their fists together.

The two watched Nalan Xingde leave, and did not return to the palace until they could no longer see him.On the way, Yin Zuo said a few words to the eldest brother but did not get any response. Turning his head to see, the eldest brother was frowning and didn't know what to think, and he didn't pay attention when he was about to go down the steps.

Yinzuo hurriedly pulled him back, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

These political creatures are too complicated, one is good and the other is bad, what kind of trouble is going to happen?

Yin Zuo didn't ask what was wrong with the elder brother, but he knew with his toes that what Nalan Xingde said so solemnly before leaving must be extremely important.Yin Zuo didn't want to know, and didn't dare to know.

Curiosity killed the cat!The more you know, the faster you die!He has always believed in these two sentences.

Yin Zuo was determined not to make a head, but he forgot that he still had to make a living under the hands of the elder brother.The elder brother was in a bad mood, so he was also unlucky, and practiced every day to die.

On the fifth day, Yinzuo finally couldn't bear to take Shisan and a sticky candy Shisan with him when he went to the school grounds.

Eldest brother frowned: "Why did you bring the two of them here?"

Come save my life!

Yin Zuo said this in his heart, but he pulled Thirteen seriously on his face: "13 is not young anymore, I found that he has a good physical fitness. Brother, look at his height, body shape, and muscles! He Usually he runs very fast and has strong endurance, I figured he should have a good talent in martial arts, but I was afraid that I might not be able to judge correctly, so I brought it to my elder brother to have a look, so as not to delay him."

Only then did the elder brother nod his head and look Shisan up and down, and Shisan also straightened his small body and let him look at him.

At this time, Shisi squeezed his buttocks between the two of them, raised his head and patted his chest, and said, "And me! I'm better than Shisan!"

Yinzuo snorted and snorted his head: "Your name is Thirteen? Brother Thirteen!"

Fourteen vaguely called "Brother Thirteen", so he looked at the eldest brother, who smiled and said, "Then let's practice together!"

Fourteen suddenly felt complacent.

The elder brother took Thirteen and Fourteen to check their situation and arrange the training content accordingly.Yin Zuo heaved a sigh of relief, with these two older brothers, he probably wouldn't pay attention to him. Just as he was about to sneak around, he felt a sharp gaze fall on him.

Yinzuo: "..."

Yinzuo: "...I see, let's start practicing!"

Yin Zuo persisted for a few more days, and finally got the chance to catch fish that he had dreamed of after the elder brother discovered that the talents of Thirteen and Fourteen were far superior to him.

When he was fishing, he would also look at the training of Thirteen and Fourteen, and gradually found something wrong—the content of the training of Thirteen and Fourteen was different!

This is normal, Fourteen is still young, how can he keep up with Thirteen's progress?However, Xu Zuo observed for a few days, only to find that Fourteen practiced archery more, while Thirteen practiced horse riding more.

It's not that big, is it?Even if the content is different, it should be more than thirteen practicing archery, right?Fourteen is only a little old, so it's fun to go for a stroll on a pony. Isn't it afraid of straining when practicing archery?

What surprised Yin Zuo even more was that Fourteen did not use the half-strength bow commonly used by beginner children, but a one-strength bow!You must know that most children don't start practicing archery until they are seven or eight years old, but they are only four years old when they are fourteen.

Yinzuo: "..."

Yin Zuo hesitated and asked the elder brother: "Are you the fourteenth portrait?"

Another naturally brave general?

The elder brother nodded: "Fourteen has good physical fitness. Regardless of his young age, his physique and bone strength are already similar to those of seven or eight-year-old children, and his strength is even more outstanding. Compared with him, Thirteen is weaker in strength, but better in flexibility and lightness. , I will see what he is suitable for learning, and then ask someone else to teach him."

Yin Zuo gave a thumbs up: "Big brother is worthy of being a big brother, he is doing his duty!"

The elder brother snorted triumphantly, and suddenly realized: "Why don't you practice!"

Yinzuo: "..."

The elder brother glanced at the bow in Yinzuo's hand, and his eyebrows frowned even tighter: "Why did you go back to using the three-and-a-half-strength bow?"

"Using the five-strength bow is too strenuous!" Yinzuo wailed, "It's wrong to pluck the seedlings to encourage their growth!"

Eldest brother glanced at him: "If you pull it out, you still don't grow long. If you don't pull it out, won't you shrink back?"

Yinzuo: "..."

Yinzuo couldn't bear this grievance, and immediately rebounded with magic: "Then, as a general, have you prepared the equipment for the army? How is the artillery research? Is the shotgun still going off? Should there be a continuous crossbow? What about the logistics? So, let’s not tell the generals to eat meat every day, can dry rice make them full? Is the winter clothes warm enough? How is the training of the soldiers? How many marksmen are there? What is the individual combat ability? Are you invincible in battle?"

"..." Big brother was sprayed by Yin Zuo, but he became interested in these things in his words: "...Can you expand on it?"

Yinzuo: "..."

Yinzuo: "..."

Yin Zuo was choked, and could only explain these concepts to him as requested by the elder brother.Yinzuo is actually not very clear about it. Fortunately, boys always have a different kind of love for military affairs. Yinzuo also paid attention to these things in his previous life. Brother's interest, so as to divert attention from him.

The eldest brother was really excited when he heard it, and his eyes were shining brightly, wishing to go back to the military camp for training immediately.

But he was still a little rational, so he restrained himself: "I have to write a booklet for Han Ama to read, please help me later."

Yinzuo nodded, as long as he didn't pull him to keep training, he could do anything.

Big brother got a goal, and he seemed to be alive again. He sat beside Yin Zuo and said silently for a while: "Do you want to know why I am in a bad mood these days?"

Yin Zuo shook his head wildly: "No..." I don't want to know!

Eldest brother: "I was wondering if Nalan Mingzhu was really all for my own good?"

Yinzuo: "..."
