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

While talking, Yinzuo found that there was a shop selling Fuling cakes in front of him, thinking that Daiyu liked to eat them, he ordered people to buy them.

The little eunuch came back with a big bag of Poria cocos cakes, but Daiyu only ate a small piece of Yinzuo and stopped eating.

Daiyu smiled and said, "I'm much better now, so I don't need to be so careful."

"I know, but once you're full, you won't be able to eat other delicious food."

Daiyu tilted her head and thought for a while: "What about the remaining Poria cocos cakes? You bought so many, it's not good to waste them."

"Let's feed it to the children in the Yuyingtang. I had to buy some food for them."

Daiyu frowned: "Don't they have anything to eat?"

Yinzuo laughed: "That's not the case. The Yuyingtang has funds from the imperial court, and the wealthy gentry will also donate. If the silver is exchanged for golden potatoes, it will still be possible to fill the children's stomachs to [-]% to [-]% full. It's just that there is nothing good to eat on weekdays. I When I go, I will bring them something, and since the Chinese New Year is almost here, I will buy them some delicious food."

Daiyu looked at Yinzuo with sparkling eyes: "Senior brother buys food, shall I buy some clothes for them?"

"That's good! Miss Lin has all the money, these children are blessed!" Yinzuo made a bow to Daiyu, so embarrassed that Daiyu punched him again before giving up.

The two walked around to another street to buy things. The road was full of shops and pedestrians. Daiyu saw that the capital was much more lively than the one she saw from the small window of the sedan chair when she first came to the capital. She couldn't help laughing: "The capital is getting more and more crowded." The better."

While talking, a little boy hurried past waving papers and shouting "selling newspapers, selling newspapers". From time to time, someone would stop him, buy a newspaper with three or two coins, and then read it carefully or call relatives and friends Friends read and discuss together, people will read newspapers to others in the streets and alleys, and there are obviously more people running on the street, everything seems to be full of vitality.

Yinzuo smiled and said: "Yes, the capital is getting more and more lively, and the people are becoming more and more leisurely, you see—"

Yinzuo pointed to Lu Bei and asked Daiyu to look at it, and saw that it was a two-story building with the five characters "Jingcheng Daily News" written on the plaque in vigorous handwriting. Buying newspapers, like that boy, intends to do business to make some money; there are also literati reporters who come and go, presumably because they are running around for manuscripts; many other people surround the steward and ask whether the comic strips of Layman Xiaoxiang are complete, and they are denied After the answer, he asked whether the follow-up content could be published as soon as possible. The manager just smiled and shied away: "It's not that we don't want to, it's just that our newspaper office only has so many drafts, and they've already been published. We can't make drafts, can we?"

A young scholar asked: "Can I ask Xiaoxiang Layman to be accommodating?"

"This... It was agreed to be serialized at the beginning, and Layman Xiaoxiang didn't even save the manuscript." The manager was a little embarrassed, "It's useless to ask!"

"Just ask and have a try, maybe it will happen!" Another person thought for a while and said, "If you don't want to rush, can you send a letter to Layman Xiaoxiang for us?"

After hearing this suggestion, the others immediately agreed: "Exactly, we told Layman Xiaoxiang ourselves, so we won't embarrass you."

"If I can write a letter to Layman Xiaoxiang, the manuscript is secondary. I must first express my admiration to him."

"I have some questions that I would like to ask, but I have no way out. Can you really deliver the letter for us?"

Steward: "..."

The steward wiped the sweat off his forehead. He didn't know how things turned out like this. Who said he was going to deliver the letter for them? !

Yinzuo looked at this scene with a smile, and seeing that Daiyu was a little uncomfortable, he said to her: "Look, they all came for Xiaoxiang Layman, so it can be seen that comic books are indeed popular, only you think they are not good enough."

Yinzuo was originally to explain Daiyu, and he didn't speak loudly. Unexpectedly, a few scholars happened to pass by and heard his words, and they couldn't help looking at Yinzuo and Daiyu with surprised eyes.

Yinzuo: "..."

It is always taboo to say that idols are not good in front of fans. Fortunately, these fans are all scholars, and they have not done anything out of the ordinary except to express contempt for Yinzuo and Daiyu with the eyes of "you don't understand art". A young scholar held back, but he couldn't hold back, and ran back after walking halfway.

Yinzuo stood in front of Daiyu and said vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

The scholar said to Daiyu solemnly: "I heard what you just said. Layman Xiaoxiang's painting skills are exquisite and realistic, novel and unique, and the comic strips he created are even more funny and cute. They are interesting to read and suitable for all ages. This brother may not like Xiaoxiang. Layman, but please don't say he is bad!"

Yinzuo and Daiyu: "..."

Yin Zuo quickly said: "Okay, okay, we know."

The scholar refused to give up, and just looked at Daiyu stubbornly, insisting that she express her opinion in person.

Layman Xiaoxiang himself: "...Understood, she is fine."

The scholar nodded in satisfaction, turned around and hurriedly followed his little friend.

Yinzuo and Daiyu were silent for a moment, and couldn't help but look at each other.

It wasn't until some distance away that Yinzuo laughed out loud: "I haven't encountered such a thing, you said if you suddenly took off your vest just now, how would he react?"

Daiyu also laughed, and she also found it rather strange that she hadn't been taught face-to-face, "Don't say bad things about Layman Xiaoxiang".

"Can I take their letters?" She wondered now what they would say to her.

"You can, but you have to be mentally prepared. If someone likes you, someone will hate you. The joy of being liked by a hundred people may not be worth the sadness of being hated by one person!" Yin Zuo reminded.

Daiyu tilted her head and asked, "Won't you check for me first?"

Yinzuo: "... yes!"

"You understand me, so I will tell the newspaper when I turn around and ask them to prepare a mailbox for you. I will send you the selected letters every few days." Yin Zuo guessed with a smile, "I guess many people They are urging you to print comic books, do you want to read such a letter?"

"If there is no other content, just don't read it. After all, I won't reprint it." Daiyu said.

Yin Zuo pretended to be surprised: "Miss Lin is so determined, can she remain unmoved by the expectations of so many people?"

Daiyu nodded her head as a matter of course: "The newspaper is such a big place, and I already occupy a lot of space."

While talking, the two discussed and bought a lot of things. According to the agreement, Yinzuo bought food and Daiyu bought clothes. Yinzuo probably knew the situation of the children in Yuyingtang and guided Daiyu to choose styles and sizes.In addition, Daiyu also bought a lot of cloth and needlework, which will be convenient for making clothes or repairing clothes in the future. She also bought shoes, socks, hats and scarves, which are necessary for winter, and even prepared some quilts, but they are not easy to carry. I asked the store to send it over.

Even so, the carriage was packed to the brim, and Yinzuo and Daiyu couldn't sit in it at all, so they barely made it by borrowing a carriage from a familiar shop nearby.

The nursery hall they went to today is located in a remote alley in the north of the capital, passing through the bustling Qianmen Street, it took an hour to find out.

Daiyu said, "It's too remote here."

"Yes, but partiality also has its advantages. The prices here are also cheaper, and children with the same money can eat better."

Yinzuo took Daiyu to the alley. The alley was not paved with blue bricks, and the road was not smooth. It had snowed just two days ago, and now it was half-thawed, so the dirt road was muddy and smooth.

Yinzuo is used to going in and out of these places, but looking at Daiyu's clean clothes and shoes, he just feels that it is very inappropriate for her to walk this way, so he leans down and says, "I'll carry you in."

Daiyu's face turned red immediately, she lowered her head and said, "No need...not so delicate."

"Why aren't you squeamish? You should be more squeamish, why bother yourself!" Yinzuo tugged at her arm, "Hurry up, I'm so tired from squatting all the time."

Daiyu: "..."

Daiyu looked around, the door of the Yoying Hall was closed, and there was no one else in the alley, Deqing and Zhu Ying looked at the sky and the ground but ignored them, knowing that they had heard, Daiyu blushed even more.

Yinzuo was still urging, so Daiyu had to lie on his back and bury her hot face in the crook of her neck.

Yin Zuo looked at Wen Ruo, but in fact his body was not bad, he stood up easily with Daiyu on his back, he clasped Daiyu's leg with his wrist, Daiyu only felt that from the place where his wrist touched, the heat swept over The whole body, so that her face was about to smoke, but her body was so stiff that she couldn't move.

But Yinzuo still didn't move, Daiyu patted him lightly, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Why don't you go?"

Yinzuo said: "Aren't you not ready yet?"

Daiyu wondered, "I'm ready."

"You didn't hold me with your hands," Yinzuo said, "It's easy for you to fall."

Daiyu: "..."

Daiyu tried her best to ignore the enthusiasm on her face, and put her hand on Yinzuo's shoulder: "I'm ready this time, let's go quickly."

Yinzuo smiled, and walked into the alley with Daiyu on his back. He stepped on the muddy path half mixed with snow, walking slowly but steadily, and Daiyu felt hot on his face when he looked at it. His intentions faded a little, but his heart became warmer.

Yinzuo carried Daiyu to the entrance of the Yuying Hall and put her down. He looked her up and down, saw that she was still clean, and nodded without even splashing a speck of mud.

"Thank you, brother," Daiyu lowered her head slightly, and saw Yin Zuo's muddy shoes and large swaths of mud on her clothes, she couldn't help but feel guilty, "Senior brother's clothes and shoes are dirty..."

Yin Zuo waved his hands indifferently: "I don't lack clothes and shoes, so I don't need..."

Daiyu: "... Shall I make you a new set?"

Yin Zuo: "...But there are only four sets of new clothes in a season, which is really not enough, so I will not be polite with my junior sister, thank you junior sister."

Deqing and Zhu Ying: "..."

While speaking, Deqing had already knocked on the door, and it was a ten-year-old girl who opened the door, her eyes lit up when she saw Yinzuo: "Brother Six is ​​here, come in quickly."

After saying that, let Yinzuo and Daiyu open the door to let them in. The Yuyingtang is not exquisitely built, but its area is not small. Walking around the screen wall, there is a wide yard. Many children are active in the yard, and there are always hundreds of them. Order is not bad.

The older girls sat on the porch and embroidered, while the younger ones sat in rows in the yard, arranging cardboard boxes or bamboo and wooden sticks.Daiyu knew that children from poor families would help the family with some chores, but this was clearly not an ordinary household chore, so she wondered, "What do they do?"

"They do some simple handicrafts, and at least they can exchange some money. First, relying on other people's support is not a long-term solution. Second, find something for them to do, and it is easier to discipline them. Otherwise, so many children will not be able to take care of them. Then teach the children a little life-making skills, so that they can live a better life after leaving the nursery."

Yinzuo patiently explained to Daiyu, "Boys are sent to free schools when they are seven or eight years old, and when they are older, they are taught a craft. Yan Ruyu and the daily newspaper will give priority to them when hiring people, and girls will learn needlework. , weaving and cooking skills, and arrange a marriage when you are old enough to get married."

Daiyu listened fascinated, she thought it was a great kindness for the Yuyingtang to raise the children, but she didn't expect to plan so much for them: "In this way, their lives will be considered stable."

Yinzuo nodded: "Yes, Yuyingtang has done its best to do this."

The two talked for a while, and the children working in the yard also saw them. Daiyu and the others didn't know each other, but Yinzuo came and went frequently. Immediately there were cheers, and the children stepped forward one after another. So he surrounded Yinzuo.

Daiyu was protected by Deqing and hid outside the crowd, when she saw Yinzuo being hugged by children's thighs, pulling the corners of the clothes, and the children would sway when she moved.

Yinzuo: "..."

Daiyu suppressed a smile.

Fortunately, the steward came quickly and drove the child away with a straight face: "Go! Go and do your work first, and then I will ask your sixth brother to feel the pulse."

Then a little boy with a thick head and a thick head scratched his head and asked: "Is there any candy for today's medicine?"

The rest of the children also started chirping, stretching out their little arms one by one, eagerly looking forward to being diagnosed by Yin Zuo, and it is best to prescribe bitter medicine, so that they can eat sweet candies!

Xu Shi thought of the sweet taste of candy, and the children couldn't help swallowing.

Yin Zuo felt sore. When he checked the pulse last time, he saw that the children were afraid of taking medicine, so he encouraged them with candy. He didn't expect them to remember it until now.They are all children less than ten years old, Yinzuo can't bear to hang them with sugar, just smiled: "Today you don't need to drink medicine, but you can also eat sugar!"

They also bought a lot of candy today, Yinzuo couldn't get away by himself, and planned to ask Deqing to help share the candy, but he didn't expect to see Daiyu snickering at a glance, so he thought about it, pointed at Daiyu and smiled to the children: " See that handsome little brother, go ask him for candy!"

Daiyu: "..."

Daiyu, who was watching the play, suddenly became a part of the play, and Yinzuo was finally able to get away, and said to the steward with a smile: "Master Lin and I bought some things, you can order a few people to go with Deqing to get them."

The steward smiled and said: "Thanks to you, these days you have given us things and found jobs, and you have given us medical treatment for free. Not only the children's life is easier, but we are also benefited."

As he said that, he asked someone to move things, because there were too many things, and it took several times to move them. Yinzuo found out candies and gave them to Daiyu, and asked her to share them with the children, while he packed up the medicine box and began to check the pulse.

For the children in the Yoyingtang, this day was like a dream. Their favorite brother Six came to see them, and brought another beautiful brother, Brother Lin.

Sixth brother is amazing, Xiaohua has had a stomach ache for several days, but after rubbing it, the pain will go away!Although sometimes they need to get needles or drink bitter medicines, Brother Six will give them candies. They feel that the needles don't hurt and the medicines are not bitter, only the candies are sweet!

Brother Lin is also very good and powerful. He gave candies to all of them and told them stories. It feels so good to listen to stories while eating candies!

They had meat for lunch!It's a pity that the sixth brother said that their stomachs are weak, they can't eat too much meat at one time, otherwise they will easily have diarrhea, so they didn't enjoy it, but the good news is that they can eat for a few more days, thinking that they will have meat for a few days, their mouth waters It's going to flow down!

In the middle of the afternoon, they also had snacks, which were fragrant, soft, sweet and glutinous, and tasted better than sugar!Brother Lin also bought clothes and quilts for them. The clothes were clean and beautiful, and the quilts were as soft as clouds. Xiaohu said that dreaming at night would make them more fragrant.

so good!I really like Brother Six and Brother Lin!

But Daiyu, who walked out of the nursery hall, was a little silent. The brief time with her just now made her know that life is not easy for these children, so she couldn't help but want to do something for them.

"Does the Yogyakarta accept donations?" Daiyu asked.

"Yes, do you want to donate?"

Daiyu nodded: "I don't have much money, I just donate all the proceeds from the comic books!"

Yinzuo looked at Daiyu in amazement: "Miss Lin is really humble, comic books are so popular, and she earns a lot of money!"

Daiyu is not selling off the comics, but getting a share!Yinzuo is very clear about how much money she has divided: "This much money... is enough to feed the entire Yuyingtang in the capital for a year."

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's good if I can help, I don't want any income from comic books in the future, so donate them all! Senior brother, please help me."

"Yes, but yes..." Yinzuo still hesitated when he thought of so much money, but he was taken aback when he saw Daiyu's pure and sincere eyes, and then smiled, "It's because I am a fool, and my younger sister is smart and wise, not for the common people Infected. Leave it to me."

Yinzuo sent Daiyu home, and when he returned to the palace, he still thought that since he wanted to use so much money to do good deeds, he might as well set up a charity foundation.

This matter is yet to be considered, and Yin Zuo only made a note of it and put it on hold for the time being.

At the same time, Jia's mansion was in turmoil.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, and everyone in Jia's family is preparing for the New Year. There is an endless stream of people cleaning up, adorning, shopping and giving gifts.

The weather is fine today, and Mother Jia is rarely willing to move. She wandered around the garden and was surrounded by her daughter-in-law, children and granddaughters, talking and laughing, her old face turned into a chrysanthemum.

The only fly in the ointment is that her precious grandson, Baoyu, is not there. Mother Jia even took the time to ask, and she learned that Baoyu and her friends went out for a drink, and said: "That's all, there are people who have a good time during the Chinese New Year. Let him come when I come back." see me."

Wang Xifeng only jokingly said: "The old ancestor only thought about Baoyu, and it was really 'one day is like three autumns'. It was only half a day since I saw him, and my heart, liver and lungs were uncomfortable, but I left us all behind my head! I blame my clumsy mouth If you are tongue-tied, you won't please your ancestors!"

After finishing her speech, everyone pointed at her and laughed, and Jiamu laughed even more: "Look at her mouth. If she is clumsy, what will happen to the world?"

Wang Xifeng also laughed, but felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Although what she said was a joke, she also had a bit of sincerity. It stands to reason that Lian Er is the serious grandson of the eldest family, but the old ancestor only blindly spoiled Baoyu and left them all alone. It's not that Wang Xifeng didn't think about it before, but now he's getting more and more unwilling.

what is this?

It's just that she is only a granddaughter-in-law after all, and she can't say anything even if she is dissatisfied. When she sees Jia Mu laughing, she can only laugh along with her, just as if she told a joke.

Just as they were talking and joking, a servant rushed to report that something had happened to Lixiangyuan. It turned out that Uncle Xue was carried back with a broken arm when he went out to drink.

"Why did you break your arm, who did it, and why?" Mother Jia asked while asking someone to take the post to the Imperial Hospital to invite someone.

"That's exactly what I was talking about. It turned out that Uncle Xue had drunk too much and quarreled with others, and the man broke Uncle Xue's arm," said the servant, "Second Master Bao said that the man was the servant of Huang Yuanjuan. Therefore, I invite the judge of Huang Yuan to come and explain the truth."

Jia's mother frowned immediately: "A young man dares to be so arrogant, the capital is getting more and more unruly! You go to the imperial hospital with the post, and ask the Huang Yuan judge to bring that young man over here! I don't believe it, a young man You can also bully our Jia family!"

The servant went out in response, and Wang Xifeng heard Xichun beside him whisper, "It may not be anyone's fault."

Wang Xifeng sighed inwardly, Xichun knew this truth, how could the ancestors not know?It's not the first time everyone knows about Xue Pan's virtues. Most likely he provoked this matter first, but no one else was ruthless, so he was dealt with.

It's just that the old ancestor didn't care about who was right and who was wrong at the moment, but that the other party was just a servant who dared to challenge the dignity of the Jia family and the Xue family.

The face of the nobility cannot be lost!

However, Mother Jia obviously made a wrong decision this time. The servant took the post to the Tai Hospital, but failed to invite the Huang Yuan Judge back: "It is said that the Huang Yuan Judge has gone to the Tai Hospital for a visit, and he is not in the Tai Hospital. The slave has been waiting for half a day. When the Huang Yuan judge came back, he came back first to return to his life, you see..."

Mother Jia frowned: "Is it really not there?"

"...It should be," the servant hesitated, "The slave didn't go in, he just asked the gatekeeper eunuch, but he didn't need to coax us."

That's not necessarily.

Jia Mu remembered what happened last time. Baoyu and Mrs. Wang lost their minds last time, and Huang Yuanju could not be cured. She said to her face that she would ask the hospital envoy to see her. upset.

But she was just worried about Baoyu at the beginning, and had no other intentions. Huang Yuan's judgment was too narrow-minded!

Mother Jia pursed her lips, and finally asked, "Where did you go for a doctor's visit?"

"The slave asked, but the Tai Hospital refused to say, saying that it involved a nobleman."

"That's fine," Mother Jia sighed, and it was only now that she realized that if the Huang Yuan judge didn't want to see them, there was nothing they could do.

The matter of Xue Pan can't be ignored either. Mother Jia only ordered someone to ask Imperial Physician Wang to see Xue Pan, and to find someone else to go to the teahouse to inquire about Yinzuo's affairs.
