This was brought by Yinzhen!

According to him, his son may not be good at martial arts, and may be average in his studies, but he must be good at making money!

Even if we don't know how to make money, we have to protect his gold mine!

Sherry initially thought he was just grumbling, but every now and then she would see him holding his one-year-old baby and fiddling with an abacus.

Moreover, the palace housed missionaries such as Giuseppe Castiglione, Jean-François Gerbillon, and Joseph Tsui.

Yinzhen had a lot of exchanges and learning, and he also knew Western algorithms. Moreover, he had always been very curious about the other side of the ocean.

Of course, he was confident that those foreign countries were no match for their Great Qing Dynasty.

That's not wrong. During this period, the Qing Dynasty was seen as the Celestial Empire by foreigners!

But Sherry mentioned that we absolutely had to go!

Look at how many of our country's treasures have been stolen!

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen was both incredulous and furious.

He chatted with Emperor Kangxi and his brothers quite a bit, and of course, more importantly, he wanted to go to sea!

However, Emperor Kangxi refused.

The result was that his people could go out, but he couldn't.

Yinzhen had no choice but to ask Kangxi for some skilled warriors to accompany him!

According to his logic, if someone steals my treasure, shouldn't we reciprocate?

Of course, at this moment, Yinzhen was more concerned about the sales of preserved fruit, canned goods, and fruit wine.

The main selling point is that it has a price but no market!

Those who can afford it are all high-ranking officials and wealthy people!

Yinzhen happily looked at the account books every day because Shirley also frankly said that she liked gold and old objects.

Yinzhen felt that the two of them were a match made in heaven.

So the family of three spent their afternoon tea counting gold every day.

Little Shirley had arranged for him to take medicine to improve his health and enlightenment early on.

So he listened to his father's business acumen without blinking.

Sydney used some silver notes to pay for road repairs and to build literacy classes.

They persisted, and even Emperor Kangxi was now full of praise for Yinzhen.

After all, persisting in something simple is anything but simple.

Moreover, what they did was not simple!

After the Lunar New Year, Shirley got pregnant again!

Because she was too lazy to have children one by one, she went straight for twins, a boy and a girl.

Yinzhen was very happy, and even more pleased that the people at the academy had improved the irrigation machines and the instruments for finding water sources.

After all, this land is vast and rich in resources, and many places previously lacked roads and water sources.

Drought every year!

Now that Yinzhen has repaired the road, the irrigation machines can be deployed.

Wells can also be dug in arid regions to draw water.

As expected, the craftsmen were highly rewarded and even promoted to the Ministry of Works.

Of course, some went there hoping to take it a step further, while others had no such intention at all.

Because Sherry was quite satisfied with the ornamental windmill aquarium they gave her, she mentioned that it utilizes various forms of energy such as wind, light, and water...

Then, the group fell into deep thought and hurriedly went back into the laboratory.

At the end of the year, Sydney gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!

Yinzhen almost cried with excitement when he saw the little girl.

Interestingly, in history, Yinzhen had two daughters last year and this year.

Right now, the people in the backyard are eating and living quite well, so they're being well taken care of.

It's not like no one has tried it before!

Before Xue Li could even make a move, Yin Tang had already sent her to the manor.

She was Liu, the mother of Yinzhen's eldest son.

Shirley didn't interfere anymore. Yinzhen's act of making an example of someone to scare the others had terrified the women in the backyard.

Now Sherry is receiving all sorts of rewards again!

Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed, after all, twins, a boy and a girl, were the first pair in the imperial family.

On the day of Emperor Kangxi's third-day celebration, he secretly brought Consort Yi with him at night.

Emperor Kangxi has been fathering sons in recent years, but he has not had twins. He is both envious and resentful, and he will probably work even harder to conceive when he returns to the palace!

Consort Yi was overjoyed and put out a lot of heavy gold jewelry.

Emperor Kangxi bestowed names upon the two little ones:

The name of the young prince, Honghao, means bright.

The little princess was given the name Salkabu, meaning "predestined fate".

Yinzhen had a long face and looked very unhappy. He had been thinking of a name for a year but hadn't been able to use it.

"Master, how about you give the children nicknames?" Shirley couldn't help but laugh when she saw his aggrieved, red-eyed look.

Yinzhen's eyes lit up instantly, and he smiled like a complete idiot.

"Let's name our daughter Huangjin (Golden)!" Yinzhen waved his hand dismissively!

"Shut up!" Sherry rolled her eyes at him. She thought he would come up with something after a year, but this was it?

Yinzhen looked at her with a pitiful and resentful expression, but Xue Li ignored him and fell asleep immediately.

Yin Tang felt frustrated and helpless!

The next morning, while Sherry was still daydreaming, Yinzhen came over and went crazy again.

"Yao Ling, I've decided! We'll name her Jin Shan Yin Shan! And the eldest will be called Bao Shan!" Yin Tang said, looking at the eldest's fair and tender face by the edge of the bed, and quickly added a sentence.

"I don't want to!" the eldest brother hurriedly declared, looking at Yinzhen expressionlessly.

Yinzhen paused, somewhat embarrassed: "If you don't want it, then you don't have it. It's your own fault for not wanting it! It's not that I didn't want it for you!"

The eldest nodded, leaned forward and kissed Shirley's cheek, then waved his little hand to serve the meal.

Sherry looked at her grown son with a sweet expression.

Yinzhen belatedly realized that his home had been raided by a little brat?!

Yinzhen huffed and puffed as he held up the bowl to feed Xueli soup, though to be honest, Xueli usually didn't need it.

So, looking at him now, I feel he's somewhat superfluous.

Hongcha shook his head speechlessly and obediently sat to the side watching Xueli.

Yinzhen secretly rolled his eyes at his son, then met Xue Li's interested gaze.

Yinzhen was a little embarrassed, then handed the bowl to Xue Li and gave Hongcha a piece of hibiscus cake.

Hongchao took it and ate it little by little.

Yinzhen was different; he ate them one after another, his face bulging out.

After Shirley finished her meal, she summoned the wet nurses.

Then the two adults and one child looked at the two bright red baby dolls together.

Hongchao asked some questions.

For example: Why are they so small? Why are they all red? Why are they always sleeping? Why are they so ugly...?

Xue Li gently coaxed him. Yin Tang was quite calm at first, but he became unhappy when he heard the eldest brother say that his younger siblings were ugly.

“You were even uglier when you were a child!” He thought Hongchao would be so angry that he would cry.

No, the little guy said in his sweet, childish voice, "No, I have a picture of it, and it's very beautiful!"

Yin Tang: ...

Sherry couldn't help but laugh.

"Your younger siblings will become more and more beautiful!" Yin Tang said with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Mmm!" Hongcha nodded, pouting his little mouth to kiss Xueli, then looked at Yintang. Yintang leaned in, and the little guy gave him a kiss and quieted down.

When it was almost time, Hongxia went to class!

He walked slowly, toying with the gold openwork gourd handle that Yinzhen had made for him, followed by a large group of servants who whined and groaned behind him.

"Hmph! If he didn't look like me, I would have thought he was the fourth brother—" Yinzhen complained to Xue Li with a resentful look as Hongcha left.

Sherry looked at his creepy smile and wondered how he could choose his own green hat.
