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

Yinzuo read Daiyu's article several times, but couldn't hold back his excitement, so he ran to show off to the prince.

It's fine if he wants to show off, but he still refuses to be straightforward. He just pretends to be casual and asks the prince if he has read today's Beijing Daily.

The crown prince has already read it, and also read the article by Layman Xiaoxiang. Seeing Yinzuo like this, he knows the reason for his visit.But he just pretended not to know, and said "oh" lightly: "I'm busy with government affairs today, so I don't have time to read it."

"Then are you done with your work? Let's take a look when you're done. Today's newspaper is pretty good."

The prince said: "The lonely newspaper has not been delivered yet, I will read it later."

"Hey, you didn't have a newspaper and told you earlier!" Yin Zuo took out the neatly folded Beijing Daily from his arms, "Hey, coincidence, I brought a copy. Take a look!"

Prince: "..."

Yin Zuo stuffed the newspaper to the prince, and moved a chair to sit opposite him, eagerly watching his reaction.

The prince's face was calm, and he didn't see any reaction at all.

Yinzuo: "..."

Yin Zuo said unwillingly: "What do you think of the newspaper today?"

The prince nodded: "As the sixth brother said, today's newspaper is very interesting."

"Really?" Yin Zuo smiled big, "For example..."

"For example, this song "Bodhisattva Man" has delicate, sincere and touching emotions, and its use of allusions is also quite unique. It is very well written! It is a pity that the poet only left his name, and he does not know who he is." The prince said.

"If you want to know who is asking the third brother, he knows it all. If you ask the third brother, the second brother, the third brother must know everything." Yinzuo came up with an idea perfunctorily, and urged, "Look again Look at others, articles and so on!"

The prince continued to look, nodded again after a while, and glanced at Yinzuo.

Yinzuo's spirit lifted, this time it should be Daiyu's article, right?

He straightened his back and waited for the prince to praise him, but what he heard was: "This "Kyoto New Year Supplement" is also very well written. Although the literary talent is not outstanding, it is very lively and interesting. I don't even know that the folk New Year is so fun." I don't know if he will write another article during the Lantern Festival? It would be nice if he could go out and have a look."

"...that article is really good." Yin Zuo also remembered that article, the writing was plain but fascinating, and he wanted to go outside for a year after reading it. It's different, the prince can't go out of the palace to build it, and it's not easy to go out of the palace on weekdays, let alone a day like the New Year, I'm afraid he will never have the chance to see how ordinary people celebrate the New Year in his life, thinking of this Yinzuo, he feels a little sympathetic to him.

and many more!

Yin Zuo Fu forehead, he was thinking about something messy!

He simply found Daiyu's article and showed it to the crown prince, and said with an uncontrollable complacent expression: "Look at Layman Xiaoxiang's article, is it good?"

The prince suppressed a smile and nodded, "Lay Xiaoxiang's writing style is refined again, and his words are meaningful and sharp. If the gentlemen see it, they will be happy."

Yinzuo: "..."

Yinzuo snatched the newspaper back and smiled: "I know, you did it on purpose, you envy me!"

Prince: "..."

Yin Zuo snorted and said, "I'm not as good as you want, and I want to show off to you! Did you see, my sister Lin was unhappy when she saw that I was scolded, so she wrote an article to help me scold me back! Actually, I don't care about being scolded, Anyway, it didn’t reach my ears, so I just pretended not to know, but Sister Lin loves me so much, hehe, she is usually gentle, but it’s not like this, it’s all for me! Do you think she is particularly nice!”

Prince: "..."

Prince Fue looked at Yin Zuo, who was lively and chattering, with a helpless smile in his eyes.Xindao knew about today, so he wouldn't have pierced him back then.Who would have thought that this person didn't know how to be shy at all when he was punctured. Instead, he seemed to have finally found someone to talk to, and he became more and more uncontrollable like a runaway wild horse.Just bitter myself listening to his sweet stories.

He is not married yet!

The prince only felt flustered, and seized the opportunity to change the subject: "I've also heard about your recent movements, but the disadvantage of those little feet is real?"

"Of course it is true!" Mentioning this, Yin Zuo was distracted and said solemnly, "Have you read the article I published in the newspaper? It said the harm of foot binding to one person and a family, foot binding It’s just that women have suffered before and after. Just think about how painful it is. Moreover, women who have bound feet have reduced mobility, which means that the family loses a labor force; women do not exercise enough. In order not to put too much pressure on their feet, so Don’t be too fat, you can only work hard on eating, so they eat less and move less, their bodies will get worse and worse, their life span will be shortened, and it will also affect their ability to conceive. If you don’t come down, even if the child is born, I’m afraid it will not be healthy or smart!”

The prince frowned: "So powerful?"

"Yeah, the second brother also thought about it? Since ancient times, the harmony of yin and yang has been emphasized. Women's life spans have been shortened, and because of childbirth or death or injury, the balance of yin and yang will inevitably become unbalanced in the long run! Besides, women lose their labor force, which leads to women's status falling again and again, poverty. People often call it 'losing money', many girls were thrown away or drowned after birth, such a vicious circle, women are getting fewer and fewer, how to ensure the population base of the Qing Dynasty?"

The prince nodded. This is indeed the truth. People are the foundation of a country, and one of the signs of prosperity is population growth.No matter what the reason is, the reduction of the population is not tolerated by the ruler, and so is the little foot.

Yin Zuo said again: "Actually, I checked the information and found that many men supported the little feet in the beginning to restrict women's freedom and let them only cling to themselves. They only consider one family and one room, so they naturally feel that it is safer to bind the little feet. But we As the royal family, we are responsible for the future of the Qing Dynasty and tens of thousands of people. Men are our people, so are women? We can’t turn a blind eye to their suffering and ignore the future of future generations.”

"You're right, but it's just not easy to handle!" The crown prince sighed, "The custom of binding feet has been around since the Five Dynasties, and in the pre-Ming Dynasty, everyone from nobles to ordinary people bound their feet. Now it has become deeply rooted. Thought, after entering the customs, there was also an order not to bind feet, but the effect...you can see the situation now, not to mention the ban, even many Manchus have begun to bind their feet!"

Speaking of this prince, I feel a little helpless. There is nothing more difficult to control than human thoughts.

"Yeah, I just posted an article to give it a try, and I have been scolded miserably these days!" Yinzuo sighed, "But if I really want to do it, there is no way out."

The prince was curious: "Oh? Have you thought of a way?"

Yinzuo nodded: "I've been scolded these days for not being able to live in the palace, but that's what I was thinking about. It really made me think of a way, but I don't know if it will work."

The prince said: "Tell me and listen."

Yin Zuo then talked eloquently: "If you want me to say, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Now, except for a few people who are really pedantic, most of these people who support Xiaojiao are just thinking about their own interests. Maybe they want to tie their wives and concubines in the backyard as well-behaved playthings, maybe their daughters have bound feet and hope to marry a good family, maybe they just like small feet, but no matter what, when their vital interests are threatened, their thoughts are natural It will change. For example, we stipulate that girls with small feet are not allowed to participate in the draft..."

"This matter is difficult!" The crown prince shook his head, "One is that many people have bound feet nowadays, and the other is...cough, Khan Ama also likes small feet, I'm afraid he won't be happy."

Yinzuo: "..."

Yin Zuo said speechlessly: "I didn't say that, Khan Ama should also cultivate his personality! He's not too young, and he still likes this and that, why is he so fickle! I didn't think Khan Ama was so tasteless before, and his little feet have What a beauty!"

Prince: "...don't say this in front of Ama Khan."

Yinzuo chuckled: "I know... No, if the second brother can't persuade Han Ama, just say what you have to say, just say what I said."

The prince raised his eyebrows: "Why, this is my business again?"

Yin Zuo nodded of course: "Those who are able work harder!"

Prince: "..."

The prince supported his forehead and said: "Even if Khan Ama agrees, it may not be useful. Earlier, the Empress Dowager did not allow women with small feet to enter the palace, but this was only useful for high-ranking officials and nobles, but it did not restrict the people. The folk customs can't be stopped. , sooner or later it will affect the upper layers.”

Yin Zuo was stunned, he really didn't expect this, but soon he smiled: "The underlying logic is the same, if ordinary people's interests are affected by foot binding, they will naturally change. For example... to open factories and workshops, We recruit women to work, but we only accept big feet and not small feet. When girls with big feet can earn money, who is more popular than 'beautiful' girls with small feet?"

What's the point?People's lives are so difficult, who would have trouble with money!

As for recruiting women to do the work, there are many tasks that men can't do as well as women. For example, embroidery workshops have always been run by women, and women are better at weaving and tailoring.

Yinzuo knows that women can do a lot of things, but there is no need to say now, food needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road needs to be walked step by step. You can't eat one bite and become fat, right?

Yinzuo only mentioned one other thing: "Since women are to be recruited to work, it is best that the managers of these factories and workshops are also women, otherwise it will always be inconvenient."

The prince was thoughtful, and Yinzuo came to find the prince's purpose, and he was about to leave, but the prince stopped him: "I have something to ask you, the Hesheli family would like to invite you to see a doctor, I wonder if you would like it? "

Yin Zuo was taken aback: "Is Suo'etu's family members sick?"

"It's not Hesheli, it's Longkodo's ancestral family," said the prince. "Longkodo's original wife had her limbs cut off. I want you to take a look. It's just that they couldn't find you. Tu asked Gu here. Gu only brought the message, you can go if you want to, go if you don’t want to, just refuse if you don’t.”

"What do you refuse, I'll go!" Yinzuo called Lai Deqing, "Hurry up, go back to the palace and get my medicine box, and then send it to Hesheli's house."

Deqing complied, and ran outside.

Yinzuo turned to greet the prince: "Let's go now."

"..." The prince was silent for a moment, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Yinzuo wondered, "What do you say?"

The prince said: "I heard that you once offered to see Hesheli, but was rejected."

"There is such a thing, but how should I put it?" Yin Zuo scratched his head with an innocent face, "I knew it a long time ago, but if they still want to cure this disease, they will have to come back to beg me sooner or later!"

Prince: "..."

Yin Zuo proudly said: "I'm not bragging. There is really no better surgeon than me these days. Even the gentleman who taught me Western medicine is not as good as me now. If Hesheli's injury is in the stomach, please be smarter." Doctors may be able to cure ulcers, but the tendons in the hands and feet are too delicate, and no one can cure them except me! Not to mention that the Hesheli family hired elderly doctors for the sake of men and women, let alone them Without technology, even if you have it, you can’t do it.”

He said: "I have also been paying attention to the situation at Hesheli's these days. Didn't they hire several imperial doctors from the imperial hospital? I have inquired about the situation there, and I know that they hired doctors from the imperial hospital and the folks. I’ve tried everything, but there’s nothing I can do. If you still want to be cured, I’m afraid you should come to me. But I didn’t expect that they would really come to me. I thought their family was also the kind of family that focused on ‘Confucianism’.”

The prince said: "Gu heard that Hesheli Yintu and his wife planned to invite a doctor from the south to try again. It was Hesheli who insisted on asking you to see a doctor."

Yin Zuo was stunned, so it made sense: "This Hesheli family is rare, and it can be regarded as a decision, but I don't know how it was reduced to that in the past?"

"After such an experience, the temperament will naturally change." The prince said.

Yinzuo nodded: "That's not a good thing or a bad thing for her."

Yinzuo and the prince left the palace together, and took another half an hour in a carriage to Hesheli's house.Compared with Suo'etu's magnificent mansion, this Hesheli's family is a bit inferior, but at least it is a family that can be married to Tong Guowei, and it can be regarded as a wealthy family.

Tuyin and his wife led people to kneel at the door to welcome them, and they were a little embarrassed when they saw Yin Zuo: "Please trouble Lord Baylor, I am ashamed to be pedantic in the past."

Yinzuo is no longer proud of being a brat in front of the prince. He waved his hands solemnly and said, "As parents, it is right for you to worry about your daughter's reputation. It's just that the doctor only sees patients, regardless of gender. There's no need to worry too much."

Tuyin said yes again and again, and graciously welcomed the prince and Yinzuo in.

A group of people arrived at the courtyard where the Hesheli family lived. The courtyard was quiet and elegant, spacious and exquisite. It can be seen that the Hesheli family is also very favored at home.The jewel in the palm of the hand was held in the palm of the hand, but it was tortured to this point in the husband's house, and the parents never knew that they had taught their daughter to suffer for so many years, so that they were almost turned into human pigs. No wonder the Tuyin couple looked strange Haggard, I'm afraid I have suffered a lot these days.

The prince did not go in when he reached the gate of Hesheli's. Tuyin asked the eldest son to accompany the prince, and the couple accompanied Yinzuo to go in.

In fact, Hesheli is not very old, only in his early twenties, but looking old and out of shape, he is so skinny that he looks like a skeleton lying on the bed.

Mrs. Tuyin wiped her tears and said: "...they say they won't eat, and they usually only give a bowl of slop in three or two days, and they just hang their lives."

Yinzuo scolded Longkodo and Li Si'er again in his heart, and comforted him: "At any rate, now that all the hardships are gone, there will be blessings after death, and the daughter will surely have a smooth life in the future."

"I hope so," Mrs. Tuyin said as she saw the hideous wounds on her daughter's hands and feet, and couldn't help wiping away her tears.

Yinzuo stepped forward to check on Hesheli. There is nothing to hide from her current appearance, and with the Tuyin couple beside her, Yinzuo's inspection is very natural, and Hesheli is also very cooperative.

The result of the examination was not bad, Yinzuo said: "I can try surgery, anyway, if it fails, it won't be worse than it is now."

Everyone: "..."

Yinzuo: "Don't be too pessimistic. The possibility of a successful operation is relatively high. However, her tendons and hamstrings have been broken for a long time. Even if the operation is successful, it is impossible to fully recover. You must be mentally prepared."

Mrs. Tuyin asked cautiously: "To what extent can you recover...can you walk?"

"Walking is natural, otherwise wouldn't the surgery be for nothing?" Yin Zuo said with a smile, "If you recover well, you may be a little lame. If you recover well, you can walk more slowly and you will be no different from others. What about your hands... Embroidery is definitely not good, it's better Don't lift heavy objects, but eating and writing should be fine."

The Tuyin couple heaved a long sigh of relief, and Mrs. Tuyin wiped her tears and said: "That's enough! That's enough! I just arrange more people to take care of her. She doesn't have to do anything, as long as she can use her hands and feet." .”

Yinzuo nodded: "Then I will prepare for the operation, and you will also prepare a clean room. You don't need anything in it, just a couch half the height of a person. I will smoke mugwort leaves every day. During the operation, I will use."

Tuyin quickly took a piece of paper and took notes.

Yin Zuo thought for a while and then said: "It stands to reason that the sooner the tendons and hamstrings are broken, the sooner the surgery is better, but she has been broken for a long time, and she doesn't care about delaying the surgery. I mean the surgery can be delayed, and her body should be recuperated first. Well, the current state can't support the recovery and rehabilitation after the operation, if the operation is rushed, the recovery will not be good and there will be problems later, and it will be too late to regret."

Tuyin and his wife thought about what he said just now that the feet would become lame if they don't recover well, and it won't be obvious when they recover, which shows the importance of recovery, so they nodded repeatedly: "I'll listen to you."

"Then I'll ask the kitchen to prepare more delicious food," Mrs. Tuyin said to Hesheli who was lying on the bed and staring at them, "Did you hear that? You have to eat well in the future, don't suffer yourself anymore! "

Hershey nodded with red eyes.

Mrs. Tuyin was overjoyed, and immediately asked someone to get some food. After ordering a bunch of pastries, Yin Zuo frowned and stopped her, saying, "It's impossible to eat like this. She can't move now, so she can just lie down and eat like this." It is too easy to gain weight, which is not conducive to future rehabilitation, and it is better to have a balanced nutrition."

Facing the dazed eyes of the other party, Yinzuo changed his words: "It's just light... that's all, I wrote the menu every ten days, and you just ask the kitchen to cook it. I come here every ten days to check the pulse. Adjustment."

Tuyin and his wife breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them repeatedly.

Yinzuo and the prince were sent out of the Hesheli Mansion by the respectful and grateful Tuyin couple.

On the carriage, Yinzuo and the prince talked about Hesheli's situation, both of them couldn't help sighing, and the prince said: "If she can stand up again, she will be reborn."

Otherwise, hands and feet will be useless, and I don't know what situation I will fall into in the future.

The two separated after returning to the palace. The prince had something to do to clear the palace, and Yin Zuo planned to go back to the palace to sort out the pulse case.I didn't expect to hear the commotion of Gandong No. [-] Institute from a distance, Yin Zuoxin mentioned it slightly, and couldn't help but quicken his pace, and when he was approaching the gate of the palace, a little eunuch hurried up to greet him: "My lord, you are back!" , Big Brother is looking for you everywhere, and Da Fujin has activated!"

Yinzuo: "..."

Yin Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, he thought something big had happened, it turned out that his sister-in-law gave birth.

"Did the imperial doctor and Mrs. Wen go?" Yinzuo asked.

The little eunuch said: "All gone, now I'm just waiting for you."

With all the medicine boxes in his hand, Yinzuo followed the little eunuch to Gandongtou, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Dafu Jin gave birth with the imperial doctor and Mrs. Wen, so why did you ask him to go there?

Gan Dongtou was busy but not chaotic, Da Fujin's screams mixed with Wen Po's voice in the delivery room, the imperial doctor stood outside with his hands down, and was asked by the anxious elder brother: "You really don't know how to do laparotomy? Sixth brother has been around for so long, didn't he learn anything secretly?"

"..." the imperial physician said, "This technique of opening the abdomen is exquisite, and it cannot be done with a mere understanding."

The eldest brother turned around twice, and then asked: "What about the Military Medical Academy, the Military Medical Academy specializes in this, will they know it?"

Imperial Physician: "They don't study for long..."

Yinzuo was terrified when he heard that, and trotted forward: "What's the matter, sister-in-law, is it difficult to give birth?"

Big Brother's eyes lit up when he saw Yinzuo, he shook his head and said: "It's not difficult to give birth, but it's not going well, I'm afraid, I heard that you have a method of opening the belly to get a child, use it at critical times, it can protect you You and the child are safe, so please come here."

It turned out that it was because of this, Yinzuo breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing difficult, I'll make a list, you ask someone to get things ready, and I'll wait here, if there is an emergency, I can operate at any time."

Only then did the elder brother feel relieved, he was not so anxious anymore, and sat down with Yin Zuo and waited.

"Just now I asked someone to go to Yuqing Palace to look for you, saying that you left the palace with the crown prince?"

Yinzuo nodded: "Go and show Hershey's hands and feet."

He roughly said what happened just now, and the elder brother couldn't help frowning: "This Longkodo is really not a man!"

Yinzuo deeply agrees with this, Longkodo connives at his concubine's room to torture his original wife, he really can't be called a man!As for being affectionate to Li Si'er... Forget it!If it weren't for his "devotion", Li Si'er might live a few more years.

Ask Yinzuo to say that elder brother is affectionate and righteous. Over the years, he has been under pressure from all sides to make Da Fujin give birth to his eldest son, just to give Da Fujin a guarantee, not much better than Longkodo's blind indulgence ?

Thinking of big brother, Yinzuo suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I said before that I will treat you when I am trained in medical skills. Now, do you want to cut your hemorrhoids?"

Eldest brother: "..." Can't we not mention this?
