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

Gandong No. [-] is very lively today, because the fifth elder brother is going to invite everyone to taste new dishes.

It turned out that Yin Zuo discovered that there was a rare medicinal material called spicy eggplant, which looked like red peppers that were popular in later generations, so he took some and gave it to the fifth elder brother to grow, but he did not expect to grow it!

Yinzuo can't forget the feeling when he knew he was successful. When he thought of the long-lost butter hot pot, spicy hot pot, boiled beef, spicy hot pot... tears fell from the corners of his mouth.

He had been looking forward to the ripening of peppers for a long time. He thought he would have to wait a while, but he didn't expect that a group of peppers in the experimental field of the fifth elder brother kept high temperature and humidity, and they matured in summer.

Since this is the case, Yin Zuo is not welcome, first take out your favorite hot pot for a walk, summer and hot pot are also a perfect match!

Today they invite everyone to eat hot pot.It was still early and the guests hadn't arrived yet, only Yinzuo and the fifth elder brother were in charge of the banquet.Yin Zuo was quite excited today, and he was very busy directing people to take the stove and pot back and forth.

Fifth elder brother scratched his head: "Will they really like to eat spicy pot?"

"Why not?" Yinzuo took the time to answer him, "Didn't you eat it twice, do you like it?"

"I like it! But..." Fifth elder brother hesitated, but the taste was really strong. He always likes to eat, as long as it is delicious, there is nothing unacceptable, but others may not be able to accept this kind of taste, right?

Yin Zuo smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry!"

No one in this world can refuse butter hot pot!

The fifth elder brother scratched his head again. In fact, he didn't have much confidence in this, but seeing Yinzuo's swearing, he still decided to believe him.

The sixth brother rarely makes mistakes!

The fifth elder brother made up his mind and devoted himself to the preparations for the banquet. After a while, the fourth princess arrived first, and Yin Zuo personally led her to sit in the pavilion.

As soon as the fourth princess entered, she could smell the strong smell of the bottom of the pot, and she couldn't help but sneezed a few times. Looking at the gurgling red soup on the stove, she raised her eyebrows: "It's summer, please invite us to eat." pot?"

"You don't know that. It's refreshing to eat a pot with ice cubes in summer!" Yin Zuo is straightforward, which is the same as turning on the air conditioner and covering the quilt. It doesn't taste like this in winter.

He pointed to several large ice basins placed around the pavilion: "Look, I have all the ice ready."

The fourth princess saw that it was true, at least she didn't feel hot after coming in for a while, so she just nodded and asked Yinzuo to help, she originally planned to help, but after looking for a while, she found that she didn't understand anything, let alone help, I just went back and sat next to the ice in the pavilion, took out a book and read it.

Yin Zuo saw the words "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" capitalized on the cover, and couldn't help admiring him: "Fourth sister is hardworking!"

The fourth princess sighed and said: "Don't mention it, I don't know what kind of guidance Sister Lin has received recently, her homework is getting better and better, if I don't hurry up and study more, I'm afraid I will be left behind by her."

She smiled slightly and asked Yin Zuo: "You and Master Lin also know each other, but do you know if Master Lin invited sister Lin to have any famous teachers?"

"How can I know this? If the fourth sister is curious, just ask Miss Lin." Yinzuo changed the subject guiltily, "If the fourth sister wants to study, why don't you worry about not being able to find a good teacher?"

"I was planning to ask you, you..." The fourth princess glanced at Yinzuo, paused, "...who did you invite, can anyone ask for advice?"

Yinzuo: "..."

Don't think that I don't know that you despise me if you hide it well!

Yinzuo snorted softly and said, "I have invited quite a few people, and all the brothers who are familiar with me have invited them. But the eldest brother is now training in the military camp in the western suburbs, and the second brother is busy with the drought in Shaanxi, so I am afraid that none of them will be able to come. As for the third brother..."

"If the eldest brother and the crown prince don't come, the third brother will not come if he wants to." The fourth princess said.

"Yeah," the third elder brother didn't know what kind of temper he had, and he always felt that if the eldest elder brother and the prince didn't come, he would be lowered if he came.

It's not about the grade next to it, here it refers specifically to age.

Maybe the eldest elder brother and the prince are people who have entered the court and started to do errands seriously, but most of the people who play with Yinzuo are still children, and mixing with them will always look a little bit irresponsible.

But Yin Zuo is not very convinced. Now that the third elder brother has not yet entered the court, the fourth elder brother has done a few serious errands. If the disaster relief is done well this time, it will be a great contribution.Although the fifth elder brother is good at work, he has made a lot of contributions to planting golden potatoes and potatoes. Now he has the title of Beizi, and it will not be a problem to upgrade to another level after the potato experiment is successful.Not to mention Yinzuo.

But the third brother is still white, why is it inappropriate to play with them?snort!

The fourth princess was a little disappointed to hear that the elder brother, the prince and the third elder brother were not here. These three are old and intelligent. If you want to teach them, it is best to find them. There is really no one who is good enough to teach her.

Yinzuo said: "You don't have to ask the brothers, you can ask Khan Ama for advice."

The fourth princess rolled her eyes at Yinzuo, not everyone dared to be big or small in front of Kangxi like him.

Yin Zuo continued to open his mind: "If you can't ask Khan Ama, then you can go to the Shang Study Room for advice."

The fourth princess was even more speechless: "If I can go to Shang's study, why should I worry about this?"

The fact that she is a woman is enough to keep her out of the Shangshufang, and the gentlemen will not be willing to teach her.

The fourth princess sighed: "It would be great if women could read the Four Books and Five Classics like men."

The princesses naturally have homework, but most of them are the Four Books for Women, which mainly teach women's virtues, but they can't teach the Four Books and Five Classics, let alone talk about history and government in class. What she is learning now is privately with the second princess. .

If women can also receive education like men, she can stop reading the Four Books for Women and put all her energy on the things she likes, without worrying about not having a husband.

Yin Zuo was surprised by her boldness for a moment, then smiled and said: "If there is such a day, it will be the luck of all women in the world!"

The fourth princess was surprised and said: "You are not as pedantic as others. When I mentioned this to others before, they only laughed at my whimsy. Only the second sister and the mother concubine can listen to it."

Yin Zuo sighed: "I don't know many women, but only you and Miss Lin are rare talents. It can be seen how many women in the world are trapped in deep boudoirs and cannot display their talents! Most men don't want women to show their faces, because they want women Manage the rear house for them to avoid worries. But we are the royal family, and we have always only thought that there are not enough talents, and there is no reason to think too many. It doesn’t matter whether he is a man or a woman, as long as he needs good talents, just like Western technology or traditional technology , as long as it can make the people live a good life, it is a good thing, why bother to stick to the views of men and women?"

"You and I want to go together!" The fourth princess was very pleasantly surprised, "We Manchu women have never lost to men, and there are many capable and capable ones, but now they are more restricted after entering the customs! There is a saying of the Han people: Very good: choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. Han Chinese culture has its merits, but I see the difference in status between men and women, so I should change it!"

Yin Zuo smiled and said, "Sis Si has such great ambitions, so I will wait for the day Si Si succeeds and congratulate you!"

The fourth princess nodded: "Wait for me to go back and figure out what to do."

She was a little excited: "I originally thought that there is no place to do anything in the palace, and I have to wait until I get married before I can do things. I didn't expect that now I have a direction!"

Yinzuo is also happy for her and all the women in the world.

The two were talking, and other people arrived one after another. First, the eighth elder brother brought the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, and then the seventh princess and the thirteenth brought the fourteenth. The eldest elder brother and the crown prince did not come. But what is surprising is that the third elder brother actually came.

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, the third elder brother snorted softly: "What's the matter, can't I come?"

Of course not, it's just inexplicably a little scary.

Now that everyone has come, Yinzuo and the fifth elder brother greeted people to serve food. They spent a lot of effort for this banquet, so they made a list for the imperial dining room to prepare the ingredients. After delivery, Yinzuo used the shop It is packed in iced dishes, so it is guaranteed to be fresh and delicious.

But no matter how fresh the ingredients were, everyone hesitated looking at the hot and bubbling red oil pan.

Forgive them for their ignorance, but it is comfortable to eat hot pot in winter, but I have never seen hot pot in summer.

Yin Zuo tried his best to make amends: "Eating this is not to warm up the body, but to warm the heart! Try it and you will know!"

The fifth elder brother also echoed: "It's really delicious!"

The third elder brother looked disgusted: "How delicious can it be, how ugly is it to eat sweaty in this hot day?"

As expected of the most literati-like person among the princes, he is particular about it!Anyway, under Yin Zuo's crazy Amway, everyone picked up chopsticks and planned to try it.

Elder Brother Ten moved his chopsticks first, cooked a piece of meat according to Yin Zuo's instructions, dipped it in sauce and put it in his mouth.

The others looked at him and asked, "How?"

Elder Brother Ten savored it carefully, and said with a tusk: "It's a bit weird, I'll try it again."

Once he tasted it, he couldn't stop, he took one bite after another, it was so delicious.Yin Zuo and Fifth Elder Brother were also eating. Seeing Elder Elder Brother's face flushed slightly from the heat, he poured him a cup of iced plum soup: "Summer hot pot and iced plum soup are perfect! Try it."

Elder Brother Shi believed in Yin Zuo's Amway very much. Hearing this, he gulped it down and let out a sigh of relief: "It's so delicious!"

Seeing him like this, the rest of the people couldn't bear it anymore, they picked up their chopsticks one after another, and after a while, the pavilion was filled with the sound of "shasha".

All the princes and princesses are the ones who pay the most attention to etiquette and demeanor, but now all of them are so hot that their lips are red and their eyes are watery, but they are reluctant to stop their chopsticks. This butter hot pot seems to have magical powers. The hotter it is, the more it is on the edge of endurance The more exciting and delicious it is, the seventh princess asked someone to rinse it with water before eating, but after a while, she gave up the water and ate it while sipping it.

The third elder brother also staged a large-scale real fragrance scene, and whether it is ugly or not has long been forgotten.

Yin Zuo saw that he had snatched a piece of mutton from Fourteen, and was hammered by Fourteen with a rather powerful fist. He almost couldn't bear it, but he still firmly stuffed the meat into his mouth, and looked at Brother Fifth. , couldn't help sniggering.

After eating this meal for nearly half an hour, Yinzuo thought that the dishes prepared were enough, but he didn't expect to add two more dishes to eat.

After dinner, Yinzuo asked people to pack up their things, and then set up two rows of reclining chairs in the gazebo, and everyone hugged their stomachs and curled up on the reclining chairs to blow off their food.

Elder Brother ten hiccupped while hugging his stomach, and asked fifth elder brother with bright eyes, "fifth elder brother, what have you grown? Is there anything else delicious?"

So far, the fifth elder brother has grown golden potatoes, potatoes and peppers, all of which are very tasty, and the tenth elder brother is also looking forward to the rest.

The fifth elder brother proudly said: "The sixth brother gave me a booklet before, and there are many ways to eat peppers, potatoes and golden potatoes. I think they are all delicious, and I plan to try them all."

The fifth elder brother gave a few examples, such as French fries, potato chips, spicy hotpot, etc. When the tenth elder brother heard that tears were about to flow from the corner of his mouth, he grabbed the fifth elder brother and said, "Fifth elder brother, I think our elder brother The two hit it off very well, and we must visit each other frequently in the future!"

Fifth elder brother: "..."

Brother Nine rolled his eyes, this guy is just trying to get a meal, it doesn't look like he has pursuits at all!He turned his head and said to Yinzuo: "This spicy pot is good, we can definitely make money by selling it."

Yin Zuo lazily said: "You think too much, this pepper is only planted in the first year, and only half an acre of land has been planted, and I can't eat enough for myself, so it is impossible to sell it!"

"Oh!" Brother Nine replied regretfully, his eyes lit up on several large ice basins, "Brother Six, your method of making ice is quite good, why don't we sell ice, the weather is hot this year, ice The merchants didn’t store enough ice last year, and now the price of ice is rising all the way, we can definitely make money.”

Yin Zuo once again broke his fantasy: "This ice is made of saltpeter, so you can use it yourself. How much saltpeter do you need to do business? Not to mention the high cost, even if you are willing to spend money, you can't buy it!"

Saltpeter can not only be used to cure diseases and make ice, it is also an important material for making gunpowder. The imperial court has always strictly controlled it. Neither will the prince!

Brother Nine sighed and said regretfully, "Why can't you sell anything?"

Yinzuo: "..." I also want to ask you, why do you want to sell everything?

"As soon as I can do business as I like, it will be great. It's best to go to the West. When the time comes, I will sell our things to Westerners, and then bring back Western things to sell. I will definitely earn a lot of money!" Nine Brother Chang thought, "I have already made an agreement with Mynah. I will be in charge of business matters. Let him come when we talk about things. He has already started to learn foreign languages."

Yinzuo looked at the eighth elder brother in surprise: "You want to go to sea too?"

Eighth Brother nodded: "I have seen and heard a lot in the past few years. I think Xiyang is also very interesting. It is different from what I thought before. It is also good to go out and see."

Yinzuo: ...Did he flap his butterfly wings and accidentally change the aspirations of the Baye Party?

Look at what the Baye Party, which was once powerful and powerful, has become now: one is all about eating and drinking, one just wants to do business, and the other is also planning to go to sea.

This ambition is really... very good!

It's great not to seize the heirloom!

Yinzuo happily gave Eighth Brother a thumbs-up, and then said with a smile: "If you need help, just come to me, I can speak foreign languages."

Now everyone was surprised: "Do you know foreign languages?"

Yin Zuo puffed up his chest proudly: "I often have classes with Mr. Xiyang, and I also read Western literature. How can I succeed if I don't know a foreign language?"

As he spoke, he started discussing with the eighth elder brother, and the ninth elder brother was thoughtful: "Do we all have to learn foreign languages ​​now?"

It's decided, he will learn too!

But after all, he hasn't learned it yet, so he can't help but feel drowsy, Yinzuo thought of something and said: "If you really want to sell something, I'll do it."

Brother Jiu's eyes are like light bulbs, they light up after a while.

Yinzuo asked someone to bring over the things on the desk in the study, and smiled: "Look what this is?"

"Layman Xiaoxiang released a new comic book!" Brother Jiu stood up in surprise.

The comic strips of Layman Xiaoxiang!

All!yes!money!

Brother Jiu was grinning to the back of his ears, and was about to reach out to catch it, but there was one person who was faster than him.

The third elder brother was originally guiding the fourth princess. When he heard the four-character DNA of "Xiaoxiang Layman", he immediately moved, and rushed to Yinzuo at a speed that ordinary people could not understand. None of them robbed him.

Yin Zuo: ...

unwise.I forgot that there is a fan of Layman Xiaoxiang here!

The power of fans is infinite, the third elder brother is a fan of the prince, so he lived in a vinegar vat for a few days for a plant of golden kapok; now he is a fan of Lay Xiaoxiang, and he can explode at a speed far beyond his own level in order to read the latest comics .

Not only Yin Zuo, everyone was stunned, and after realizing it, they couldn't help looking at this powerful fan with admiration.

What is even more admirable is that after being surrounded by Brother Jiu and Thirteen and Fourteen who arrived a little later, this lofty literati who has always disdain to play with little kids, actually reads books with the children at ease. Squatting together to watch, suddenly looking at the past, he is a king of children, without any literary temperament.

Yinzuo: ... I have nothing to say except Rui Sibai.

Naturally, Yinzuo is still a little proud.Daiyu of their family is so good, she has so many fans after only publishing two books!

I finished reading a comic book in a short time. The third elder brother took the children to read it several times, and analyzed the painting method and artistry for them in detail. Every picture was caressed carefully, which can be said to be very reluctant. give up.

He also asked Yinzuo: "This painting is useless after you print it, so give me the original manuscript!"

Yinzuo: Hehe, it's a beautiful idea!

Yinzuo resolutely rejected the third elder brother, and he didn't care how sour the third elder brother was, anyway, he would not give Daiyu's handwriting to others.

After eating and drinking, everyone read the comics, sat for a while and then dispersed.After a while, someone from the Yonghe Palace asked for hot pot bottom ingredients. Presumably, Concubine De accepted the children's Amway, or Shi 34 wanted to eat it again.

Yin Zuo wrapped some for Concubine De, and discussed with the fifth elder brother to send some to all the elders, so there was nothing left of the batch of hot pot ingredients they fried.

Kangxi had hotpot for dinner and thought it was good, so he sent someone to ask Yinzuo for the hotpot base, Yinzuo said: "No more! All of them have been fried, and now they are all divided up. If you want it, you can just wait. "

The visitor bowed and said with a smile: "But it needs to be fried again. I wonder if the imperial dining room can be made?"

"No!" Yin Zuo flatly refused, "The main thing is that there are no chili peppers. How many chili peppers can be produced in such a small amount of land are all used up now. Let Han Ama wait until the chili peppers are ripe before frying them for him."

Visitor: "..."

Yinzuo righteously rejected Kangxi, and then went to find Daiyu the next day with only a little hot pot bottom material left.

……

A few days later, Yinzuo received a letter from the fourth elder brother from Shaanxi. When Yinzuo opened the letter, his eyebrows slowly frowned.

Gein's fourth elder brother said in his letter that it was not a good thing. He was in charge of disaster relief in Shaanxi. Because of Yinzuo's reminder, he had always attached great importance to epidemic prevention, but he encountered a lot of resistance.

Apart from other things, the most important point is the first: the medicinal materials sent by the imperial pharmacy are wrong!It's okay if the quantity is not enough, most of the medicinal materials are old, shoddy or even non-medical, and there is almost no way to use them.

Fortunately, the imperial pharmacy was only responsible for a part of the medicinal materials, and most of them were purchased from local and nearby Shaanxi, so there was no major delay.It’s just that the fourth elder brother will definitely report back to Kangxi in the future. Now I’m telling Yinzuo because Yinzuo is in the imperial hospital, and he often communicates with the imperial pharmacy on weekdays. Let him check first to see if there is any misunderstanding, so as not to hurt him. Our own people are innocent.

Yin Zuo was very touched. With the stern and selfless temperament of the fourth elder brother, he was able to communicate with him in advance, which shows that he really takes him seriously.

After being moved, I was angry again. There are so many victims in Shaanxi waiting for their lives to be rescued, but there are still people who are pocketing their own money and ignoring the lives of millions of people for their own self-interest. It is really insane!

Yinzuo was so angry that he made people stare at the imperial pharmacy. After hearing that they had bought a batch of new medicinal materials to be shipped to Shaanxi, he took them to catch the stolen goods in a hurry.

The imperial pharmacy was ordering medicinal materials, and was surprised and surprised to see Yin Zuo coming over, and knelt down on the floor.

The manager of the imperial pharmacy smiled and said: "Why are you here in this hot weather, you can ask someone to tell you what you want, why bother to go there yourself."

Yinzuo didn't answer his words, and didn't ask anyone to get up, but looked at the medicinal materials piled up half the yard and asked: "Are these medicinal materials that are going to be sent to Shaanxi?"

"Yes!" The manager smiled apologetically, "Shaanxi is in a hurry, we should send it after we count it, and we will definitely not delay the matter there."

Yin Zuo gave a faint "hmm", grabbed a handful of medicinal materials to look at, and asked casually, "How much money is this medicinal material?"

Manager: "This is a total of 5000 taels of medicinal materials."

"5000 taels?" Yin Zuo raised his eyebrows, "5000 taels of silver is enough to buy such a small amount of medicinal materials, or are they all the most inferior goods?"

The general manager broke out in a cold sweat, knelt down and kowtowed with a "plop": "This, the price of medicinal materials is high now..."

"Are you still arguing?" Yinzuo sneered, "You forgot who I usually treat? What is the origin of the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital? The price of medicinal materials is not clear to the refugees in the habitat, or the people who open the medicine shop don't understand , asked you to fool me?"

In the end, he had already spoken harshly, the manager tremblingly wiped the sweat from his brow, knowing that Yin Zuo couldn't be coaxed, he couldn't help but look ashamed, and kowtowed: "Master Baylor Mingjian, this matter has nothing to do with us! The medicinal materials were just stolen from the imperial pharmacy, but we didn’t actually buy them!”

Yin Zuo frowned: "Who is that?"

The manager hesitated whether to say it or not.

Yinzuo sneered: "Since you won't say anything, I'll send you to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for a while, but I don't know if you can survive so many punishments. I would like to know whether you recruited the mastermind behind the punishment, or Simply die for the other party."

The steward trembled in fright, gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Baylor, please forgive me. In fact, this person has a high position and authority, and there are noble people backing him. Therefore, even though the servants feel that this medicinal material is inappropriate, they dare not speak out. It is not intentional corruption. Please forgive me, Lord Baylor." crime."

Yinzuo frowned: "Tell me who it is first."

"It's Ling Pu, the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his wife is... the crown prince's nurse."
