Chapter 115 Arguing
Mingxuan was really happy to hear Yinrong say that binding feet is a bad habit.He told Yinfeng with high spirits that women can actually do a lot of work.
Yinfeng lay on the reclining chair, looked at his aunt's happy appearance, closed his eyes with a smile.There are naturally many things women can do, and my aunt is very good, and Yinfeng has always recognized it.
By the time Ming Xuan found out, he had already fallen asleep.
Ming Xuan took a thin quilt and gently covered his stomach, then sat next to him and gently fanned him.
Although the little guy's face was still childish, his exquisite facial features had opened up a lot.
But when?The relationship between them seemed to be upside down, Ming Xuan could feel that he was using his own way to protect herself.
He is still so young, yet he is so sensible that Mingxuan feels distressed.Occasionally, I regret that I shouldn't have given him so much homework, it's really tiring!
Many people may feel that they have paid a lot for him, and even the empress dowager said that it was a blessing for the prince to meet him.
But Mingxuan knew that she was lucky to meet him.
Because of him, it was the first time for Mingxuan to feel the feeling of being so purely liked. This was the thing she was looking forward to the most. It was enough to have him and her mother in this life!
Although Yinreng called her aunt, Mingxuan already felt that he respected and cared about her as a relative.
Similarly, Ming Xuan also felt that she was very happy to have such a little guy who made her worry about her in this world.
The power of the autumn tiger is no worse than that of midsummer, and reading is a torment. Yinfeng rarely slept well, and felt a slight cool breeze when he woke up. Seeing his aunt smiling at him, he grinned and said, "Sleeping is so comfortable! "
"It's good to be comfortable, get up and have a drink of soup, then we should go." Ming Xuan pointed to the mung bean soup beside him and said, "If you think it's hot, don't be greedy for cold, stay away from the ice, if it's too hot, let the Someone will fan you, just wear a loose cotton robe."
Yinreng drank the soup, listened to his aunt's nagging concerns, and was ready to go back and continue working hard, full of joy.
"His Royal Highness the Prince!" On the way, Yinreng happened to meet Concubine Tong who was taking the sixth elder brother out, and the sixth elder brother saluted Yinreng directly.
Yinreng nodded with a smile, and paid a half-respect to Concubine Tong, then looked at the sweat on Yinzuo's forehead and pale face, and said with concern: "It's a hot day, why did you come here with Concubine Tong? ?”
Yin Zuo glanced at E Niang, and then replied: "E Niang and I just went to greet the Empress Dowager."
Yinfeng nodded clearly, with a warm smile on his face, he said: "Then hurry up and go back and rest! I have something to do and leave first."
After finishing speaking, Yinreng nodded to Concubine Tong, then walked forward quickly, thinking in his mind, what is the connection between Concubine Tong and the Empress Dowager, why did he come to greet the Empress Dowager at this moment?
These days, it's not that Yinreng has done nothing, but every time it's time for Concubine Tong to be favored, Kangxi is always held back by others.In order not to make people suspect that it was aimed at Concubine Tong, other concubines were also mixed in, and because of the hot weather, Kangxi rarely favored the harem.So no one suspected anything.
"On the way, I saw Concubine Tong Gui and the sixth younger brother please come out to the empress dowager. The sixth younger brother looked a bit uncomfortable, why don't you go and see it." Yinfeng went back to Chengqian Palace to see Kangxi, and said directly.
Kangxi frowned slightly, but said: "You go to study first!"
Yinfeng just reminded him that Yinzuo is the younger brother, and even if he doesn't like Concubine Tong Gui, he should care as much as he should.Over the years, he has come to the conclusion that no matter whether he likes it or not, he will have a younger brother.
Watching Yinreng go to the back hall to study, Kangxi also began to wonder if there is any relationship between the Empress Dowager and Concubine Tong Gui?
The biggest thing in the palace now is the next year's draft. Kangxi has no impression of the little Gege of the Tong family, and has no intention of letting her enter the palace.Because of Baocheng, he didn't want a prince of the Tong family's blood in the palace.
Scolding Concubine Tong Gui was only because the Tong family plotted against Concubine Xian Gui.
As for Yinzuo?The imperial doctor was sent directly.
Concubine Tong knew that her family wanted her concubine to enter the palace and give birth to a child of the Tong family's blood, but she was unwilling. In her view, Yinzuo was her own child, but Wu Yashi stole him.She didn't want other children to take away Yinzuo's due glory.
On the eve of Mingxuan's birthday, Kangxi said to take her out for a walk, Mingxuan heard that Yinfeng could not accompany her because of schoolwork, so she directly refused.
"You don't want to visit your small workshop?" Kangxi squinted his eyes and asked suddenly.
Ming Xuan hesitated, and then directly thanked her. She still cared about this.But if Yinfeng didn't go, she would have to go alone with Kangxi, so she still refused.
But when two days later, Yinreng appeared in front of Mingxuan and asked her if she wanted to leave the palace?Ming Xuan immediately agreed.
In the next year's draft, the household department is already counting the show girls. After so many years of suspension, the rules of many girls have been loosened a lot.Jingzhong was also very lively because of this incident.
After Mingxuan came out of the palace, she found that the teachers on the street were more lively than in previous years.
Yinzhen looked around, Yinreng directly asked Sun Shiwei to hold him, and told him not to walk alone, if he was kidnapped by a kidnapper, he would not be able to see himself.
"There are more women on the road." Ming Xuan said suddenly.
There are even many women with small feet, accompanied by their husbands or fathers and brothers, appearing on the streets of the capital.
Seeing her bright eyes, Kangxi explained in a low voice: "I set up a workshop in the suburbs of Beijing that is much larger than yours, and recruited many women who spin threads."
What?Ming Xuan looked at the smug Kangxi with a look of surprise, hesitated for a while, and then came back to her senses and said, "That's great!"
The ones I can help must be very limited, but if Kangxi is the case, there will inevitably be more women who can have their own financial control. No wonder there are so many people on the road. With money, sales will inevitably be promoted.
"Auntie, please eat!" Yinreng saw several stalls selling candied haws, so he went to buy a few bunches and handed them to Mingxuan.He also divided up with Yinzhen.
Ming Xuan quickly picked it up, thinking that the little guy still remembered her own preferences, she happily ate it.
Kangxi saw that they were so unruly, and they ate in the street, because it was difficult to talk outside, so he had to find a tea shop first, and prepare to teach them a lesson. At this moment, a happy couple heard their voices.
"Miss, I'll buy you whatever you want today. I've sold goods for others this month, and I've earned more than a dozen bucks than before!"
"Whatever husband wants to buy today, I will buy it for you too. I have earned a lot this month. Let's make new clothes for the children."
"These days are really rushing, my lady, I've made up my mind. If the parents still insist on binding the girls' feet, we will move out. We will work harder and we will always be able to support the children."
"...Okay, it's all up to you."
Ming Xuan also heard this conversation. She held up candied haws and sat on the vendor's chair, feeling very relieved.
"Women who don't bind their feet should sink into the pond." An old man at the other table suddenly patted the table and stood up, roaring angrily.
After yelling, he wanted to rush up and grab the woman who had just spoken, but suddenly a bunch of candied haws hit him in the face.The woman's husband also quickly pulled his wife behind him.
"Who?" The old man turned his head and saw that Ming Xuan who was throwing candied haws was dressed as a banner man, his face twisted a bit, and he said in a rough voice, "Why did you hit me?"
"Your mouth stinks!" Ming Xuan picked up another candied haws and asked for a bite, "Whether the children's feet are bound or not is none of your business?"
"We Han women have to bind their feet. This is what our ancestors ordered." The old man gritted his teeth and argued.
Mingxuan lowered her eyes slightly, turned her head to Yinzhen and said, "Tell everyone about the binding of feet!"
Yinzhen stood up, stood on a chair, leaned against Sun Shiwei and said, "During the Southern Tang Dynasty, there was a dancer in the Palace of Li Yu, Empress of the Tang Dynasty. Her name was Yu Niang. Her mother was Uighur, and her father was Han..."
Yinzhen spoke in great detail, directly saying that foot binding was a place of fireworks from the very beginning, and it started only to please men.
Hearing the surprise on the faces of the people around him.
In order to protest against the imperial court's requirement that they have to shave their heads, foot binding has become a must. But now they are clearly told that the origin of foot binding is a Uighur-Han mixed-race woman, who later appeared in that unbearable place.
"Men are afraid, so they hurt women, what's there to be proud of?" Yinfeng said suddenly: "Our emperor is so lucky that he can even conquer such evils as smallpox. He is dedicated to serving the people, but there are always people who misunderstand him, which is really hateful. "
"The Emperor Manchu would not treat us sincerely." A voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Yinfeng raised his eyebrows and said: "You stand up and speak, I still think you are a good man. Tang Taizong Li Shimin also has Hu people's blood. In the land of China, there are many ethnic groups, Han, Manchu, and even Muslims, Tibetans, Mengren... aren't those Chinese children? But now it's the turn of the Manchus to be emperors, how do you know that the Manchus must be bad?"
"Have the children in the family, or the heirs of relatives and friends, ever been vaccinated? The emperor himself subsidizes it, just to make everyone no longer suffer from smallpox. Isn't this the expression of the emperor's love for the people like his own son?"
Yinfeng sat there, straightened his back, and looked calm.
The corners of Kangxi's lips rose slightly, obviously satisfied with his son's performance.Before, I said that the Manchu and Han families were strong, but my son said that the Man, Meng and Han families were strong... They were all a family, and they used the reason that they were in the same land of China.
Because of Yinfeng's remarks, the scene exploded, and Kangxi sneaked away with them.
Mingxuan didn't expect the girls to suffer less with just such a simple thing, but she left a spark to let everyone know that binding feet is not something worth advocating, and it's good.
"You're really amazing!" Ming Xuan lavishly praised her all the way, making Yin Reng smile unconsciously.
Even seeing Yuanyuan and Gungun, Mingxuan couldn't take her eyes off Yinfeng's flourishing beauty.
It wasn't until Kangxi called Yinreng away that Mingxuan looked at Yuanyuan and Gungun and said, "How can they be so good?"
"I'm not bad either." Yinzhen snorted coldly and said suddenly.
Ming Xuan came back to her senses, looked at him and praised him generously: "Naturally, Xiao Si, you are really outstanding today. With so many people watching, you are not stage frightened, and you did not make a mistake."
Yin Zhen turned his head and said embarrassedly: "It's not so good..."
"Of course! You and Yinfeng are very handsome today. The two prettiest boys in the crowd are talking about you!" Ming Xuan said righteously.
Yinzhen couldn't listen any longer, so he took two steps back, his ears were red and he called Gun Gun.
When Gun Gun saw Ming Xuan and Yin Zhen, he was as enthusiastic as ever, and didn't feel unfamiliar because of the long absence.
