Chapter 153 Xiaowu and Xiaojiu



Kangxi and his two sons hurried back and finally returned during the New Year's Eve palace banquet.

The whole family held a banquet in Changchun Garden, and it was very lively.

Throughout the first month of the year, except for Hongxi who rushed back to the palace to do his work on the second day, everyone else stayed in Changchun Garden eating and drinking.

Yinzhi stayed in Yinreng's courtyard and drank, "Second brother, I never thought that I would be able to enter the Hanlin Academy to edit books one day."

Yinzhi felt happy when he thought about it, "That's the Hanlin Academy."

Yinreng looked at Yinzhi, who had drunk a little too much, and nodded, "Xiao San is really amazing."

Extremely perfunctory.

Yinzhi chuckled, "I also think I'm very capable, but it's a pity that my mother died early and didn't see my abilities."

Yinreng signaled He Yuzhu to bring some sobering soup.

"Xiao San, think about how old your child is. You are still so childish. If your son saw you, he would definitely laugh at you."

Yinzhi's face was red, and He Yuzhu happened to bring him some hangover soup. He didn't refuse and drank it in one gulp.

"Second brother, I remember that I was jealous of Xiao Si going to the Ministry of Revenue at first, so I asked you for the official position. At that time, you arranged for me to be in the Ministry of Rites, and I even followed the ten concubines to attend the funeral."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yes, my fifth brother was also in the Ministry of Rites at that time, and he also worked diligently together."

Yinreng just nodded as he recalled what happened at that time.

"Yes, it was not long after Ukuma Ma passed away. I saw that Xiao Si was always gloomy, so I tried to get him into the Ministry of Revenue, just to distract him. I didn't expect that this kid would be promoted from the Ministry of Revenue to the Ministry of Personnel. He went from a sunny and cheerful young man to a coffin-faced devil."

Speaking of this, Yinzhi couldn't stop laughing.

"It's said that the officials in the Ministry of Personnel feel as if they're going to their graves every day when they go to the government office. If any of the ministers' children are disobedient, they're threatened with being sent to work under Prince Yong. This scares those dandies into being more obedient than ever."

When Yinreng heard this, he laughed so hard that no one had mentioned these interesting things to him.

What a loss.

"Talking bad about people behind their backs, Third Brother is truly a gentleman."

Yinzhen walked in with a dark face. Yinzhi was not angry even though he was caught red-handed. Instead, he pulled Yinzhen to sit down.

"It's good enough that brothers don't fight to the death. What's the point of being a gentleman or not?"

Yinzhen was really speechless.

Yinreng also joked, "Little Fourth, you have a stern face all day long. Doesn't your sister-in-law worry when she sees you?"

Yinzhen sighed, "Brother, I want to laugh too, but I can't. Just thinking about all the bad things the officials are doing gives me a headache. I really can't go a day without getting into trouble."

"Okay, okay, our Xiao Si is the most fair. I feel most at ease with you in the Ministry of Personnel."

Yinzhen was praised and was in a good mood.

The three brothers drank until very late. Yinzhi and Yinzhen supported each other as they walked out of the yard, and returned to their respective yards at the fork in the road.

Yinzhen was not good at drinking, so he didn't drink much, and naturally he couldn't be said to be drunk.

Looking at the familiar scenery around him, he suddenly remembered the year when Uya blocked him at the corner gate and scolded him.

It was Yinreng who brought him back to Yuqing Palace to live for a period of time, and would occasionally comfort him intentionally or unintentionally.

Tell him that although Uya gave birth to him, she did not raise him.

Not to mention that you can't go to see the Empress Dowager just because the child is taken to her. Concubine Yi always goes to the Empress Dowager to show her filial piety for Xiaowu.

But the fact that she gave birth to him was an indisputable fact. She should consider this as repayment for her kindness by saving her life when she got into trouble.

He remembered that year when the emperor came back from his eastern tour and heard that Uya had offended him and scolded him for being unfilial, he wanted to let her die of illness.

It was after Yinzhen knelt at the gate of the Qianqing Palace for half an hour that the emperor rescinded his order, changing Uya's death sentence to one of being sent to the Taimiao for retreat, where she would not be allowed to leave until her death.

Five years later, Uya died of illness in the Taimiao. As her son, he wore plain clothes for a month as a way of showing filial piety.

The Fourteenth Prince and the current Prince Chun Yinzuo knew each other's identities, but never provoked each other.

Fortunately, Yinzuo is also working in the court now. Although he doesn't call him brother when he meets him, he still respects him.

Even so, he was content.

Halfway through his life, he could no longer remember many things. All he could remember was his second brother's consolation and...

The boss dumped the custard on his head.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen said to Su Peisheng: "Let's go and talk to the boss."

Su Peisheng was a little confused. "What? Reason? Go to Prince Zhi to reason?"

What's the logic?

Could it be that something happened between the master and Prince Zhi without his knowledge?

Let’s start… Is it true that my master won’t get beaten if he tries to reason with Prince Zhi?

Is Prince Nao a reasonable person?

At this time, Yinzhi was chasing Hongyu in the yard.

"Stop right there, you little bastard! I just asked for an imperial decree to grant you marriage, and you're actually going to join the army. You're so delicate and weak, and you want to join the army? You don't even weigh that much as a horse."

"Do you know how much hardship I suffered when I joined the army? You should serve me well in the court. If you dare to talk about joining the army again, I will break your legs."

Yinzhen watched outside for a while, then turned around and left silently.

The boss is in a bad mood today, so let’s talk about it another day.

After the first month of the year, everyone returned home.

Yinqi was playing dirty in Yin'er's mansion, saying, "Your two nieces are getting engaged, and we have no money."

Xiaojiu held his forehead helplessly.

"Fifth brother, you don't have many concubines, my mother is living in your house, and your salary is so high, how come you don't have money to buy a dowry for your niece?"

Yinqi chuckled as he ate, "I just don't have any money. Mother asked me to ask you for it. If you don't give it to me, I will go back and tell Mother."

Xiaojiu was about to lose his temper, "Fifth Brother, could you please stop complaining all the time?"

Every time the two brothers had some disagreement, their mother would send someone to scold him the next day.

Fifth brother is too quick to complain.

Yin Qi chuckled, "The Queen Mother said that if you are unhappy, you should speak out, you can't hold it in."

Xiaojiu looked at him for a long time and could only sigh silently.

Okay.

Others speak out to tell their stories, but you are just complaining.

Ever since Yinzhen passed away, Concubine Yi's health has not been good, and she pays special attention to the two of them.

If I heard the two brothers quarreling, I would be so worried that I couldn't sleep.

Xiaojiu is now a father, so naturally he is not as heartless as before, and he understands the difficulties his mother has to go through.

"Okay, okay, you are really my good brother."

Yinqi chuckled, and Xiaojiu waved helplessly behind him, "What are you still standing there for? Go prepare four boxes of silver ingots for your Fifth Master, and another ten boxes of clothes and jewelry for his wedding. Remember, prepare the best."

The servant chuckled, "Okay, sir, I'll get ready right away."
