Chapter 84: The 84th Day of Wanting to Die

The Fourth Prince’s Mansion.

When everyone arrived at the gate, they all looked to the side with the same goal.

Oh, it looks like that place is the future residence of Old Eight.

Then everyone turned their eyes to Yinsi, and Yinsi froze.

He tried hard to hold it together, but why were they all staring at him?

Are you afraid that Sixth Brother won't find out?

Yin Zhuo also noticed it, and he said with emotion: "The next step is for me to leave the palace and build a mansion. It would be great if I could be closer to Fourth Brother. Fourth Brother will take care of people at a glance."

After saying this, he mentioned it as if he didn't care, very calmly.

But his inner voice had already exposed all his thoughts.

[Invite me now! Invite me to live with you! I won’t take Lao Ba’s seat, can you leave the other seat for me? ]

Yinsi gave a bitter smile. What Sixth Brother said was true. There was no question of who could fight for this position or not. If Sixth Brother was willing, the position would be left to him. He could live next to him then.

That's a good idea.

Yinyou also had an idea, he quickly said: "Sixth brother, I will live next door to you when the time comes, I like to be close to you."

Yin Zhuo nodded: "Of course."

[Oh, I almost forgot, I still have more than a month to live, I may not be able to wait until I leave the palace to build a mansion, it seems that this position is destined to be the eighth brother, I'm sorry, the seventh brother, then the sixth brother may say something wrong. ]

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Sixth Brother...

Everyone began to feel sad.

But they believe that day will never come.

"Hahaha, I'll definitely come to Sixth Brother's house for a free meal then."

Yinyou eased the atmosphere a bit.

Yin Zhuo was also amused: "When the time comes, you have to come to Fourth Brother's house to find me. I might even be eating here for free."

Yinzhen also responded: "It's okay to support you two. You won't let me go broke."

The whole group of people started to laugh, and the depressing atmosphere just now disappeared. Then they entered the Fourth Prince's mansion together.

The Fourth Prince Fu Jin had been waiting for a long time, and the princesses in the mansion were also looking forward to it, just waiting for the Fourth Prince to come back.

The Fourth Prince has a cold personality and is not interested in matters between men and women. He had not been to the backyard for a long time before he left. Now that he has finally come back, everyone wants to seize the opportunity. After all, as a woman, she still wants to conceive a child as soon as possible.

Only in this way can you have your own backer.

What the emperor said about letting women study for imperial examinations is really too far away from them. They will have to spend their whole lives in this backyard.

Having a small yard and having children would make life more interesting.

But the crowd did not wait for the Fourth Prince to come to the backyard, because several of his brothers had come and the Fourth Prince had to entertain them in the front.

People say they are not lost, but that is a lie.

But I also know that I can’t be impatient.

Si Fujin went to the front yard to take a look, showed his face, and then went to take care of the kitchen. After all, it was a welcoming banquet for the Fourth Master organized by his brothers, so everything had to be prepared thoroughly. Si Fujin would not feel at ease unless he saw it with his own eyes.

Yinzhen hadn't seen Fujin for a long time and found that she had grown taller.

Just as Xiaoliu said before, Fujin is still young.

For the sake of his legitimate son, he still has to wait a little longer. He hopes Honghui won't be anxious.

They want to give Honghui a healthy body.

Don't die early again.

Whenever Yinzhen thought about that scene, he felt a dull pain in his chest.

If it really came, he didn't know how to get through the time of losing his legitimate son.

Deep down, he still hopes that Honghui will take over in the future.

But that's all for the kids.

It’s still early, and the Emperor will remain on the throne for many years, so there’s no need to rush.

Everyone had lunch, and at the table Yinzhen told his brothers about his experiences in the south.

Everyone listened very carefully.

They have a lot to learn now, so what Fourth Brother said are all experiences.

"Fourth brother, I have already assigned them a task. When the harvest comes, we will know how much more food we can produce. I believe that after generations of cultivation, everyone in the world will be well fed."

[Alas, I want to do a pea experiment and talk to them about genetics. For example, single eyelids and double eyelids are all controlled by related genetic factors, so we can only proceed to the next step before these principles are clear. It's so sad. I never thought that I would become a biology teacher? ]

Yin Zhuo was very worried, and so were the others. Single or double eyelids might be related to some gene.

But what they don't understand is, what is that gene?

None of them had heard of it, and they just stared at each other, all equally confused.

Yin Zhuo yawned after eating. He had run a lot today and was a little tired.

After bidding farewell to Yinzhen, the group returned to the palace. Halfway through the journey, Yin Zhuo looked at the long street paved with smooth bluestone slabs, and his heart couldn't help but move.

[Yes, if the wheels of this horse-drawn carriage can run on this bluestone slab, then bicycles can do it even better? There are also tricycles that can carry goods. ]

The rest of the people looked at each other and saw something good coming.

A bicycle, literally speaking, should be something that can move by itself.

I immediately started looking forward to it.

Yin Zhuo took advantage of the time before lunch break to deliver the drawings of the tricycle and bicycle to the Ministry of Industry. He didn't believe that they couldn't be made today.

It's such a simple principle, you should understand it after reading it.

But Yin Zhuo guessed wrong. They knew it, but bicycles and tricycles needed iron.

Yin Zhuo was not in a hurry after receiving the news: "Okay, tell them not to worry, just finish it tomorrow and send it to Yu's study."

The young eunuch took the imperial edict and told the messenger from the Ministry of Works. The messenger was relieved immediately after hearing it: "Thank you, Sixth Prince, for your understanding."

The man breathed a sigh of relief when he left, knowing that the Sixth Prince was a good man.

At dinner time, Yin Zhuo originally planned to make do on his own.

But he was called over by Kangxi.

When Kangxi saw him, he frowned and went on with his own business, pretending that he didn't exist.

Yin Zhuo couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, and then said helplessly: "Father Emperor, who has wronged you again? Tell Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu will help you deal with him."

Yin Zhuo said fiercely.

Kangxi snorted coldly: "It is far away in the sky, but it is right in front of us."

Yin Zhuo said in a gloomy voice: "Alas, it turns out that the Emperor is angry with me. I wonder what Xiaoliu did wrong? I was thinking of giving you a means of transportation tomorrow."

[I almost forgot, the two wheels of my wheelchair can be removed and used. I won't be using them anyway. I'll make two more bicycles and give one to Fourteen. He's been pretty well behaved lately.]

Yinzhen, who was doing his homework obediently, suddenly sneezed. He touched his bald head and nodded in a good mood.

It must be Sixth Brother who missed him. If it wasn’t Sixth Brother, then it must be Fourth Brother.

Today, when I went to Fourth Brother's house, Yinzhen was really eye-opening, but he also realized that Fourth Brother had his own little family.

Yinzhen puffed up his cheeks, thinking that his fourth brother had finally gotten what he wanted.

Yinzhen used to think that his fourth brother was cruel, but now he feels that he is pitiful. Among the princes in the harem, his life experience is probably the most difficult.

Forget it, he should just behave well and not make fourth and sixth brothers angry.

On the other hand, Kangxi was a little curious.

"What is it?"

Yin Zhuo tilted his face at a 45-degree angle and looked outside hesitantly: "But, you are angry with Xiaoliu."

[To be honest, I regret it! Humph, this old man has a bad temper recently. ]

Kang Xiao Lao Tou Xi:……

This Xiaoliu, he holds a grudge against me even after I said a few words to him.

"Did you forget me at noon? It's a good thing to welcome your fourth brother, but isn't there room in the palace? I think you guys are just too playful and always want to run outside the palace. I don't know what good things there are outside the palace, which keeps tempting you."

Kangxi complained in a ambiguous way.

Yin Zhuo glared: "Is that all the Emperor wants? If you had told me earlier that you wanted to go, it would have saved my sister-in-law a lot of trouble. Next time, I will definitely invite the Emperor when I move out of the palace."

Kangxi's face turned black when he heard this.

Xiaoliu hasn't forgotten it yet, and I know he still has this idea in his mind.

Kangxi would never agree.

"First, tell me what your surprise is."

Kangxi's curiosity had been aroused, and now that he didn't know the answer, he felt like a cat was teasing him.

Yin Zhuo said: "We will know tomorrow."

"no."

But Yin Zhuo deliberately whetted his appetite.

He was a little quieter at dinner time, but when it was time to go to bed, the old man became dissatisfied again and tossed and turned.

Yin Zhuo stared at him dimly: "If you don't want to sleep, get out."

[It's so annoying. They insisted on keeping me here, and then they didn't let me sleep. ]

Kangxi said after a while: "What did you tell me first?"

Yin Zhuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you still thinking about it? Okay, okay, I'll tell you, it's a bicycle. With a bicycle, you can ride to the Golden Throne Hall very close."

[Hahahaha, I find it hard to imagine an emperor riding a bicycle to court. By the way, this bicycle is also called a foreign bike, which was first introduced from foreigners.]

Kangxi was originally very happy, but he was no longer happy when he heard the latter name.

No, how much did the foreigners invent?

The thing that Kangxi had been worrying about was solved, and he started to worry again.

Why are all of them invented by foreigners?

The spinning machine, the missing steam engine, and now the foreign carriage...

If Xiaoliu wasn't there, they wouldn't know why they were being beaten.

Xiaoliu seemed to know what he was thinking.

[In the past, the Qing Dynasty was forced to open its doors. Of course, this forced opening refers to the use of artillery to bombard the country’s doors.]

Kangxi: ...

He closed his eyes, his mind in a mess.

Xiaoliu is right. It is not a good idea to close the country to the outside world. The outside world is developing rapidly, and the Qing Dynasty has fertile land and a vast area.

It must be mutton in the eyes of others.

What's more, the Qing Dynasty's productivity was backward, so it could only be attacked while standing, right?

What is going on?

Kangxi couldn't sleep, but he didn't move for fear of disturbing Xiaoliu next to him.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Kangxi discovered that Xiaoliu had changed a lot from before.

Become healthier.

Kangxi was dazed and suddenly thought of the death crisis that Xiaoliu had been talking about.

I definitely can’t ask the master in the temple, so I can only find Doctor Zheng.

Ask the Imperial Hospital to pay attention to Xiaoliu's physical condition.

He hasn't seen enough of the surprise that Xiaoliu has given him, so Xiaoliu must be okay.

When the court went to court the next day, the ministers looked at the Minister of Works pushing out something with two wheels with his head held high.

The two assistant ministers from the Ministry of Works behind him pushed the three-wheeled carriage with the things in the carriage over from the left and right.

The three of them were so arrogant that they almost looked down on others.

This aroused everyone's curiosity, and at the same time, looking at those familiar wheels, an idea popped up in their minds.

Could this be the work of the Sixth Prince?

Have you reached the point where you don't even want to walk?

He is so lazy that he wants to be pushed around.

But it's not convenient to push the one with two wheels, and it can't hold as much stuff as the one with three wheels.

It has three wheels and a large carriage, and it looks like it can accommodate people.

However, they did not move, and this posture was definitely intended for the emperor.

Someone asked quietly, "Sir, where did you get this? What are you doing with it?"

The Minister of Industry said, "This is called a bicycle. As the name suggests, one person can ride on it and it is as fast as a carriage. The other one is called a tricycle. You have all seen a unicycle, right? It is similar to that one, but this one is more stable and can carry people and goods."

When they heard the Minister of Works talking about the wheelbarrow, they began to understand a little.

But this is different from a unicycle. It has two triangular things that seem like you can sit on them.

The people who were originally drowsy suddenly perked up.

The emperor will definitely say later that they should seek some benefits.

This must be good stuff.
