Ah, this is quite shocking. Although they had always known that the Master was very generous, they were still taken aback.
So, can property deeds be given away as gifts?
"Grandpa Butler, this...this is...the wrong thing has been delivered," a scholar stammered.
I can't believe it! Who is this tutor who's giving away gifts and houses?
That's right! It's their tutor.
"That's right, this is the gift our master gave to you. The houses aren't very big, but they're a place to stay. Our master has a few words for me to pass on to you. He hopes that you won't forget what the purpose of being an official is, and that you will be good people and good officials."
"Yes, student will remember, and will learn more from the Master."
"Thank you, Master."
The students quickly expressed their gratitude, realizing that the teacher's purpose in giving them the house was to prevent them from doing bad things for money.
Waaah, Master is such a good person, he even thought of this.
They will certainly remember the Master's words, be good people, and be good officials; they will definitely not let the Master down.
The butler stood in front, looking at the moved expressions on the young people's faces, and nodded in satisfaction. Very good, this is exactly the feeling I wanted.
As for what our great Master is doing now...
Of course, I was watching from the window of the restaurant, preparing to see the three newly appointed scholars parade through the streets.
Mingxiu had also arranged for many flower petals to be prepared, to be scattered when the person arrived.
This was the first time she had ever encountered something like this, and Mingxiu was incredibly excited.
As the saying goes, there are four great joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and passing the imperial examination. How can such a joyous occasion be without a sense of ceremony?
"Madam, Madam, they're here! The top scholar and the others are here!" Yu Lan turned to the people in front of her and said.
"Okay, get ready, get ready, let's start right away," Mingxiu said anxiously.
After he finished speaking, the people behind him immediately got up and walked to the window, each of them carrying a large flower basket.
The area below was packed with people, and in no time they saw three people on horseback approaching from the front.
After the three approached, Mingxiu began to greet them by throwing flower petals down.
The top scholar's parade through the streets on horseback was a big deal, and Mingxiu was not the only one who did the same thing; she did the same all the way.
Kangxi sat in the back, speechless as he watched Mingxiu lead the cheers. He felt a pang of sadness; even when he was emperor, he had never seen her so excited.
Mingxiu had no idea that Kangxi's jealousy had been quietly stirred up again.
“Your Majesty, Bao Cheng has good taste. These students in this year’s class are all quite handsome.” Mingxiu said to Kangxi as she watched the group walk away.
"Hmph, Bao Cheng doesn't just look at appearance when choosing people. Talent is the most important thing. What's the use of a pretty face?"
Mingxiu looked at Kangxi with amusement. "Yes, yes, yes, it's not enough to just have a good appearance. You also need to have talent. Take someone like you, for example. You have both good looks and talent, and you're also kind-hearted. You even thought of giving house deeds to your students. I've never seen such a generous teacher before." Mingxiu teased Kangxi.
Kangxi coughed awkwardly, "I'm doing this mainly for their own good, and also for the good of the court. After all, I don't lack these things. If their lives are better, they can focus on their work, benefit the people, and benefit the court. Isn't that great?"
Mingxiu rolled her eyes at him.
Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, it was time for the children to get married. Naturally, the children got married in order: first Yinzhi, then Yintang, and finally Yinzhi.
The Imperial Household Department took care of all the arrangements for the children's marriages, so Mingxiu didn't need to worry too much. However, as an elder, she still had to take care of some things, such as wedding gifts.
Mingxiu was a little worried about what to give as gifts to her children when they got married. She had given most of the things she had acquired over the years to Yinreng when he got married. As for the gold and silver jewelry she had brought with her, there were some beautiful and rare items that she had already given to Chenghuan when she got married.
She had prepared some gifts, but because of the space upgrade, she had lost all her things, and now Mingxiu didn't know what to give.
Mingxiu walked around the space. Now, besides food and drink, there really wasn't much else. Even if there was anything, it was all from Kangxi's private treasury, which had been gradually transferred into the space over the years. Mingxiu had no choice but to turn her attention to silver notes. She didn't have any of her previous silver notes, but she had businesses in the capital and Yunnan, so she had earned quite a bit of money.
Mingxiu thought about it for a moment and decided that if necessary, she could just buy 50,000 taels of silver notes for each person. She didn't have any more than that. If each of the three people bought 50,000 taels, that would be 150,000 taels, which was not a small amount. Mingxiu secretly took some from Kangxi's private treasury to make up the difference.
Then Mingxiu was satisfied with a set of jewelry for each of the new brides.
When Yinzhen got married, Mingxiu gave him 50,000 taels of silver notes plus a set of jewelry. In addition, Mingxiu also made some pills with spiritual spring water and gave them to them as a congratulatory gift. This was quite thoughtful, taking into account all aspects.
However, she doesn't have much spiritual spring water left, so she needs to use it sparingly. She doesn't need to add any more pills; this is enough.
The three children's weddings were arranged in quick succession. In fact, their weddings should have taken place several years ago, but due to the development of the Qing Dynasty in recent years, coupled with Yinreng's efforts to educate them about the dangers of early exposure to women, and Yinreng's fondness for his brothers after ascending the throne, their weddings were repeatedly postponed. Now they are all twenty-four or twenty-five years old, which is considered quite old for marriage in the Qing Dynasty. The mothers of the children were very anxious, so now that they have finally agreed to the weddings one by one, they arranged them in a tight schedule to get them married as soon as possible and avoid any unexpected problems later. So, one wedding was held in April, one in May, and one in June. Three weddings were held in the palace in a short period of time, making the entire palace very lively, and everyone was exhausted.
