No matter how unhappy he was, the operation that should be performed was still to be done. The elder brother took off his pants and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes and pretending to be dead.

But he didn't wait for the pain of the knife cut. Instead, he felt that the acupuncture point was pricked, a little pain and a little numb. He was feeling this kind of feeling. He only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and soon fell asleep.

Not long after waking up again, the sun only slanted westward a little bit, Yinzuo had already started to pack his medicine box, and while he was packing up, he told the palace servants who were helping him to take care of the postoperative matters, what kind of rest, no strenuous exercise, pay attention Clean to avoid infection, pay attention to diet, avoid spicy stimulation, it is best to eat liquid food, drink plenty of water, eat fruits and vegetables, etc.

Eldest brother couldn't help but put on a mask of pain: "Can I only drink porridge, can't I eat any meat?"

"It's not impossible," Yinzuo snorted under the expectant eyes of the elder brother, "as long as you don't care about the wound rupture and infection, and then lie down for a few more months to rest."

Eldest brother: "...Then let's drink porridge."

Yinzuo nodded: "Just drink it for a few days, and you can eat it when the wound is better, but it must be appropriate, otherwise you will suffer from constipation... By the way, remember to call me immediately if you have constipation symptoms, and I will treat it for you .”

The elder brother waved his hand, he didn’t really want Yinzuo to deal with his constipation problem. In contrast, he would rather control his diet. Anyway, he wanted to control it in order to have a son. If he can’t eat meat casually, eating vegetable leaves is still a good idea. Eating porridge doesn't make much difference to him.

Yinzuo prescribed another prescription for the elder brother, left a bottle of ointment and went out.

The eighth elder brother is still there, resting in the next room, seeing Yin Zuo coming out, he put down the teacup and greeted him: "It's done so soon?"

Yinzuo nodded: "It's just a very minor operation."

The eighth elder brother asked: "How is the eldest brother?"

"Okay, it's not convenient to move now, but it will be fine after a few months of cultivation."

The eighth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, and did not enter the room to avoid embarrassment for the eldest elder brother, but only talked to Yinzuo outside: "Will Hesheli's operation be performed so quickly?"

Yinzuo shook his head: "The tendons of the hamstrings and tendons of the hands are much more delicate than hemorrhoids, the operation will not be so fast, and the recovery after the operation is much more difficult. In fact, if the seventh brother is not serious, I don't recommend him to have this operation, because I am not very sure. A successful operation does not guarantee a good postoperative recovery, Hesheli is already in this state, so he can only put all his eggs in one basket, but the seventh brother can easily outweigh the gains.”

The eighth brother was silent for a moment: "Even the sixth brother is not sure?"

Yin Zuo shook his head.

The eighth elder brother sighed: "Then can I go and see when the sixth brother is operating on Hershey's?"

"I can't decide on this matter. It depends on the patient's opinion. I'll ask for you later." Yin Zuo said.

"Then I will trouble Brother Six."

Yin Zuo waved his hand, he has a good impression of the eighth elder brother, this little thing is nothing.

Yinzuo is busy here seeing a doctor for his elder brother, but he doesn't know that his theory of "it depends on the man to give birth to a boy and a girl" has caused an uproar outside, which is even worse than footbinding.

If it is said that footbinding began in the Five Dynasties, flourished in the pre-Ming Dynasty, and has developed for hundreds of years, so it is deeply ingrained in the people's thinking. When a boy is born, everyone will scold the woman for not being up to date, and no one has ever attributed the responsibility to the man.

Yin Zuo's theory not only subverts everyone's thinking, but also challenges the status of men. Before that, men could push the burden of having children to women. Insults and abuse, indifference from the husband, and pressure from all parties, the man continued to be unrestrained, and he could still put on a victim face. It couldn't be more enjoyable.

As soon as Yinzuo's theory came out, it was tantamount to blowing up their stalls. These people were not happy, and they couldn't help talking about it.With the addition of some pedantic and sour scholars, the voice of criticizing Yinzuo became stronger than ever.

Yinzuo knew that there would be criticisms, so he stayed in the palace and didn't listen or ask. If the third elder brother hadn't told him that the situation was not good, Yinzuo didn't know that things had reached this point.

"They don't dare to argue with you in an open and aboveboard manner. They can only be eccentric and disgusting. I heard that some people have written satirical poems and sung them. Now there are a lot of discussions everywhere, and there are many censors impeaching you!" The third elder brother snorted angrily, "Isn't it just relying on the number of people and the power of the crowd, thinking that the law does not blame the crowd? What if we just blame the crowd? If these people are arrested and held in prison for a few days, they will know how powerful they are."

Yin Zuo waved his hand: "No, this is blocking the way of speech, we can't do this. Let them talk when they say it, just to stir up the heat for me. The more troubles there are, the more likely it is for the women who stay in the back house to know .”

The third elder brother sighed: "You don't even care about your own reputation, so you are doing whatever you can to achieve your goals, right?"

Yinzuo: "..." Are you worthy of your identity as a cultural person with such words?

Yin Zuo rolled his eyes: "It's not that I don't care about reputation, it's just that these people are just a handful of people who are jumping feet, and they can't represent the vast majority of normal people."

"Even so, I also admire you. If I were to be scolded like this, I would definitely not be able to bear it. Are you brave and cowardly?"

Yin Zuo waved his hands and said modestly: "It's average, the Qing Dynasty is the third."

Third Elder Brother: "..."

Yinzuo said don't worry about it, so the third elder brother didn't care, but he couldn't rest assured after all, so he asked people to keep an eye on the situation.Therefore, as soon as Layman Xiaoxiang submitted his manuscript, he knew it. He hurriedly found Yinzuo with the manuscript, squinted and said: "You and Layman Xiaoxiang have a good enough relationship, so I will speak for you again."

Yinzuo took the manuscript and looked at it, and it was indeed Daiyu who was pissing people off for him again. She was usually eloquent, and she was also very annoying when she pissed people off, Yinzuo couldn't help but chuckle.

Third elder brother: "This Xiaoxiang layman is the fourth child, right?"

Yinzuo: "???"

The third elder brother is quite reasonable: "Speaking so viciously, there is only the fourth brother among our brothers. Besides, I also know him. He usually has a cold face, but his heart is quite warm. Your business He has always taken it to heart. But he is still paying attention to the affairs of the capital on the river, and he is tired enough."

Yinzuo: "...not him."

Brother Three: "...Really? I don't believe it! Unless you tell me who Layman Xiaoxiang is."

Yin Zuo was not threatened, he just said: "It's fine if you don't believe it, just treat him as the fourth brother."

Third Elder Brother: "..."

The third elder brother looked aggrieved: "When this article is published, Layman Xiaoxiang will definitely be criticized, look..."

"Well... don't log in! Since she is worried, I will do it myself," Yinzuo snorted softly, "I have been holding back and not talking, and it is time to line up with these people so that they can see if I am soft persimmon!"

The third elder brother immediately became excited, showing an expression of watching the excitement: "What do you want to do?"

Yin Zuo said mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."

The third elder brother scratched his head and waited for a day, and Yinzuo handed him an article the next day. In the eyes of the third elder brother, this article was really not literary at all, and it didn't even have a few words, but after reading it, he couldn't help but " Hissed, he hesitated to speak: "Are you really going to climb?"

Yin Zuo nodded: "Deng!"

The next day, those who bought the latest "Beijing Daily" found that a short article by Liu Baylor had been published in the best position on the front page.

People who have the habit of reading newspapers are relatively well-informed, and they also know about the recent wind and rain in the capital. Seeing that Liu Beile, who had been scolded for several days, finally spoke up, he couldn't help but get excited. Looking at the content again, he was even more stunned, and almost broke his own beard. .

Yinzuo's article is very simple, with one central idea: I said that the birth of a boy and a girl lies in a man, and a man with a son should be proud. Some people jump so well, is it because they can't give birth to a son, so they are poked in the sore spot? What?

"Hiss—this Liu Baylor dare to say, there are more people scolding him now!"

"Not necessarily, he has already said that, I'm afraid there are not many people who dare to scold!"

"How to say?"

"Because I have observed that those who are the most angry and fan the flames do not have any sons..."

Everyone: "..."

Oh open!

Everyone couldn't help scanning their eyes to see who was the most righteous indignation in the crowd, so they could judge that he had no son.

People who are jumping: "..."

This is mad!

It can't be a secret that there is no son. The neighbors in the neighborhood must know it, but you can't shame yourself everywhere because you are used to shame. Besides, there is a difference between simply not having a son and being angry because you don't have a son.Many of them usually pretend that their sons and daughters are the same indifferent, isn't it just for the sake of looking good?As soon as Yinzuo's article came out, they didn't dare to do anything else for the sake of face.

These people seemed to be strangled by the neck of the rooster, and immediately died down, and the capital suddenly became much calmer.Naturally, some people became more and more crazy when they became angry, but there were only three or two kittens, and they couldn't make any big waves.Who doesn't have many black fans on the way to fame, Yin Zuo didn't take it seriously.

He didn't expect that all the imperial physicians of Taitai Hospital would jointly publish an article to speak for Yinzuo. Unlike Yinzuo who came from later generations, they knew about genes, but they could also give opinions from their own professional fields.They confirmed Yinzuo's words, saying that having boys and girls is not only related to women, but also has a relationship with men, and the so-called secret recipes of "guaranteeing a boy" and "turning a girl into a boy" are all fake.

So many imperial doctors have spoken, even if there are conspiracy theorists who say that they are forced by power, most people have to believe it.Thanks to the turmoil in the past few days, many women also knew about this matter, and countless women who suffered from being useless because they had no sons felt proud!

Jia family.

Wang Xifeng slapped the newspaper in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "I'll just say, why you and I haven't been able to have a baby boy for so many years, it's all because of our master! Thanks to him Ri still said with a straight face that he was not in a hurry, bah, he was not in a hurry and I was still in a hurry! How many gossips I have heard all these years!"

Ping'er immediately snorted and said, "If you talk about him, talk about him, what are you talking about?"

"Why can't I talk to you? Could it be that you gave birth to a son?"

Ping'er rolled Wang Xifeng's eyes, and was about to speak, when Jia Lian's voice came from outside: "Who has a son if there is no son?"

While talking, he opened the curtain and came in, glanced at Wang Xifeng and Ping'er's stomach, and then said to Ping'er: "Could it be that you are pregnant?"

"Whoever loves has it, but I don't!" Ping'er threw the twisted veil into his hand, then threw the curtain and went out.

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment: "This hoof is getting more and more tempered. If you don't have it, let it go. Why are you losing your temper?"

As he spoke, he grinned and approached Wang Xifeng: "She doesn't have it, so could it be that you have it?"

Wang Xifeng was unhappy and didn't have a good look at Jia Lian. She just sneered and said, "You don't go home once in ten days and half a month. Don't say that I can't have Heping. If you have it, do you dare to admit it? Don't be afraid to be a job." Wang Ba?"

"..." Jia Lian wondered, "What's the matter today, everyone has had a firecracker battle?"

Wang Xifeng snorted coldly: "You asked me, I haven't asked you yet, with such a strong smell of makeup on your body, maybe you're going to find another mistress again?"

"Nonsense! Brother Zhen and Rong'er and I accidentally got it on while we were drinking. You know they both love attracting bees and attracting butterflies. You don't know if they get some makeup on." Jia Lian laughed and said, "My family has a grandma like this I have a virtuous wife like Ping'er, and I have a beautiful concubine like Ping'er, how can I still look up to those crooked melons and dates outside? Besides, even if I have a heart, I don't have any money. Who can not want money for no reason? ?”

Wang Xifeng swept his handsome face around, then hummed softly: "You still have self-knowledge."

Jia Lian didn't get annoyed even when she smiled, so she had no choice but to put the words out without asking for money. She didn't explain her intention until Wang Xifeng was comforted: "...I saw a hairpin that was very suitable for grandma, but I didn't have any money in my hand. Grandma didn't want to reward me." Some turnover and turnover, and I will pay you back when I have it.”

Wang Xifeng had been coaxed into a dizzy state, but immediately regained consciousness after hearing this, and said with a sneer, "I don't know who to use the money for, and I can't even give birth to a son, so I want to play tricks!"

Jia Lian: "...?"

"Can't have a son?" He pointed at himself, his tone changing.

"Yes!" Wang Xifeng handed two newspapers in front of him, which were articles written by Yinzuo and the imperial physicians, and said confidently, "See, the doctors have already said that it is a matter of giving birth to boys and girls. If you come out, son, I will be troubled by his face and suffer sporadically!"

Jia Lian: "..."

"Who dares to show you face? You don't even give me face. Who else dares to show you face?" He said angrily, "Besides, I didn't ask you to have a son? You haven't conceived at all in the past two years ah!"

"Isn't it because of you that I didn't have a baby? Didn't you see that Liu Bei Le said that only the blood of the husband and wife can have a child, and my half is there every month. Where is yours?"

Jia Lian: "..."

Wang Xifeng: "Furthermore, it's not that I haven't given birth to a child before. If you live up to your expectations and give birth to a boy in your first child, would I still be angry now?"

Jia Lian: "...All right, please keep your voice down, so that the eldest sister will feel uncomfortable when she hears it."

"Now that I know how to love my eldest sister, why didn't I see you before and ask her, did she hear these words less these years? I don't care about these words anymore!"

Jia Lian: "...that's all right, all right, I won't say... no, I will love my eldest sister a lot in the future, let's go, I'll buy her clothes and jewelry tomorrow!"

He didn't dare to mention the matter of money anymore, so he slipped out and murmured: "Grandma, don't read that newspaper too!"

Seeing him walking away, Wang Xifeng snorted coldly. From now on, she should read the newspaper every day. This educated person is different. If she had the vision and insight of Liubeile, how could she have been wronged for so many years!

After thinking for a while, Wang Xifeng called the little maid: "Get ready for the carriage, it's time for us to go to Lin's house."

When Wang Xifeng was led to Daiyu's courtyard by the maid, Daiyu was writing an article, when she saw Wang Xifeng coming in, she smiled and went forward: "Sister-in-law is here?"

Wang Xifeng said: "It's because I delayed my sister's affairs."

"What business can I have, sister-in-law, come in and sit down!" Daiyu pulled the person to sit down, and then ordered tea to be served.

Wang Xifeng took a sip of tea and sighed: "I should have come earlier, but what happened to the eldest girl, I have to worry about it. I haven't dealt with it yet and it's the end of the year. The people below are useless. I had to personally take care of every stitch and thread, and I was so busy that I couldn't get away, and my sister kept waiting for a long time."

"Sister-in-law just keep busy. I have nothing to do all day long, and I don't want to delay anything." Daiyu smiled, "It's just that no matter how capable sister-in-law is, you still have to be careful."

"Thank you sister for thinking about it. None of the young masters and grandma in our family are capable, but the third sister speaks and does things according to my temper. She is also grown up now. I am thinking about asking her to take care of some housework, so I can relax. .”

Daiyu nodded, "It's good to explore spring."

It was inconvenient for her to intervene in the affairs of Jia's family, so she stopped talking after saying this, and turned to other things: "The thing I said last time... I wanted to open a shop to earn some money for cosmetics, but sister-in-law If you know me, reciting poems and painting is fine, Guanpuzi is... I thought that if my sister-in-law is willing, we will partner in this business."

Wang Xifeng wondered: "The Lin family has a lot of money, and you still use yourself to earn money for cosmetics?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "What I earn is always different."

Wang Xifeng was a little moved: "How do you plan to partner?"

Daiyu has already made plans: "I want to open a bookstore, sell some books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc., I will try to get some good goods, and my sister-in-law will take care of all the trivial matters, and we will share the capital and profits equally. How about ?”

Wang Xifeng was a little hesitant. One was that there was no shortage of bookstores in the capital, and she and Daiyu had never seen them outside, so I was afraid that this store might not be successful; the other was that the share didn't seem to be a good deal. In fact, she can also find the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but it is a little more troublesome than Daiyu's.Do more and get less, this is really not Wang Xifeng's principle of doing things.

But after thinking about it, if she opened this shop by herself, it might not be possible without a backer.Besides, the business partnership with Daiyu is not all about money, what is more important is to make friends with Daiyu. If you encounter problems in the future, you will have a place to turn to. I am afraid that many people are holding gold and silver mountains and begging for this opportunity. Well, now it's on her head, so why hesitate!

After thinking this through, Wang Xifeng immediately nodded: "Success!"

Daiyu clasped her hands together and said with a smile: "That's all right. I have a ready-made shop. My sister-in-law just asks someone to take it over. When it's finished, my sister-in-law tells me. I'll ask someone to bring the comic books and newspapers over."

Wang Xifeng: "... Comics and Beijing Daily?"

Daiyu nodded: "Yes, what's the matter?"

It's nothing, I just thought it was a silver egg, but I didn't expect it to be a golden egg... Oh no, it's a golden mountain!

Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are nothing unusual, but comic strips and capital daily are the most popular things in the capital and even in the Qing Dynasty. As long as there are these two, the shop will not worry about no business!

It's just that the supply of these two things has always been in short supply. The general shops can't get the goods, and the shops that are backed by the rich Manchurians are still out of stock. Wang Xifeng didn't dare to think about it at all. Who would have thought that Daiyu would do it without saying a word!

This is really a great thing!

Now Wang Xifeng doesn't think there is anything wrong with sharing the principal and profits equally with Daiyu. With only the comic strips and the Beijing Daily, the profit of the shop will be multiplied several times, which is more than she imagined!

She smiled and said, "But the fourth princess helped?"

Daiyu froze for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Wang Xifeng showed some envy, it's good to have a backer!But Daiyu missed the old love, so she got some meat to eat, and now she is satisfied.

With this incident, Wang Xifeng couldn't sit still, and had to go back to deal with the shop.

Daiyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's the same whether the shop opens sooner or later. Sister-in-law has been busy these days, it's better to take a rest."

"Hey! You don't know me yet, you're always restless! Besides, so much money is in front of you, and if you don't earn it, you won't earn it!" Wang Xifeng stood up after speaking, "You don't have to worry about me, I am just a hard worker , I am used to worrying on weekdays, I have long been used to it!"

Daiyu laughed and said, "That's the hard work for those who can, otherwise I wouldn't be the first to think of my sister-in-law."

Wang Xifeng laughed heartily, "Forget it, I'll go back now."

She didn't need Daiyu to see her off, so she walked out without taking a few steps, but her face changed after a few steps.

Daiyu wondered, "What's wrong?"

Wang Xifeng covered her stomach and frowned, "My stomach hurts."

"But menstruation is coming?" Daiyu hurriedly asked someone to help her sit up, then took away the tea and brought hot water for her to drink.

"I don't know, my menstruation has never been very regular." Wang Xifeng thought for a while, but couldn't remember when she came last time, and sighed, "I was so busy that I completely forgot."

She slowed down a little, and asked the servant girl to help her to change clothes and check, and she came back after a while: "I didn't have menstruation, but it's better now, I'll just go back and lie down."

"Let's take a look at the doctor. There is a gentleman in our house. It's cheaper to ask him to show you, so you don't have to go back and go to trouble."

Wang Xifeng wanted to say no, but Daiyu had already asked Xueyan to invite her, so she had to give up.

The two talked for a while, Xueyan accompanied the gray-haired old doctor over, the doctor took Wang Xifeng's pulse carefully, frowned and said: "Grandma is happy, it has been six or seven months."

Wang Xifeng was taken aback for a moment, and then was pleasantly surprised.She has been looking forward to the child for so many years, and she was still angry about this and Jia Lian before she came, how could she think that there is already one?

The old doctor didn't bother to ask why Wang Xifeng didn't know that the child was six or seven months old, so he just continued: "But grandma has been too tired recently, and her fetal gas has hurt, and this baby has signs of miscarriage!"
