Chapter 157 Lying to a Child



In other words, Kangxi still cared about his relationship with his mother's family, otherwise Tong Guowei would not have been able to escape so easily.

He was not so kind to Mingzhu.

He can still tolerate Mingzhu hanging around under his nose, probably thanks to Yinzhi.

The fact that Yinzhi and Mingzhu had fallen out had not been made public. Kangxi, mindful of Yinzhi's weak foundation in the court, wanted to use Mingzhu's influence to buy Yinzhi some time.

Once this matter is exposed, there will be no need for Mingzhu to continue to exist.

If Yinreng knew about this, he would definitely complain in his heart.

Kangxi's fatherly love always came a little late.

If he had been more partial to Yinzhi before, he wouldn't be so timid about dealing with Mingzhu now.

The Wanshou Festival is coming in mid-to-late March.

Yinreng rushed back to the capital from Shanxi, exhausted.

If it weren't for the fact that the rules of filial piety in this era were too strict, he really wouldn't want to come back.

He only stayed in Shanxi for more than half a month, and the coal mine had not yet been opened, but he had to run back to celebrate Kangxi's birthday.

It's really speechless.

It was drizzling the day he arrived in the capital. He first went to the Qianqing Palace to report to Kangxi, and then returned to the Yuqing Palace.

Kangxi wanted to keep Yinreng to talk with him for a while, but when he saw Yinreng's wet shoulders, he had to give up.

His younger brothers received the news a few days in advance and waited for him in Yuqing Palace.

Yinzhen arrived three days earlier than him and was not absent.

But the eldest brother Yinzhi was not there.

After asking, Yinreng found out that Yinzhi seemed to have been sent out on an errand by Kangxi, and his brothers had not seen him for more than a month.

Yinreng didn't care and ate a steaming hot pot with his brothers.

Frankly speaking, this is life.

The only food in Shanxi was pancakes and noodles. He thought it was new at first, but after a week he couldn't stand it anymore.

The frightened little fat boy Lao Jiu thought that going out on business would mean not having enough to eat, so he shouted that he didn't want to go out of Beijing on business.

This caused the older people to burst into laughter.

"But you can earn a lot of money by going on business outside the capital. Are you sure you don't want to go?"

Yinreng teased him

When these words came out, Yin'er's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask your fourth brother. He spent only a few days and got no less than one million taels of silver."

Yin'er's chubby little face looked at Yinzhen with hope.

The moment his head turned, Yinreng winked at Yinzhen mischievously.

Yinzhen: “…”

childish!

He did seize property worth more than one million taels during the search, but not a single tael of silver belonged to him.

Isn’t the second brother lying to the children?

Thinking of this, Yinzhen looked at Yin'er again, whose height was almost reaching his chin and whose physique was very strong, and he was suddenly speechless.

Except for the second brother, the prince, the other brothers' portions are almost the same. Why is it that this kid is the only one who eats so much and becomes so tall and strong?

“…Yes, there was so much silver that it couldn’t even fit in a whole room!”

Yinzhen agreed with Yinreng against his conscience.

When Yinzhen heard this, he instantly became excited.

"Then I'm going to do some work too. I'll make a million in a few days, and then I'll go back to the capital and eat delicious food!"

"That won't do. Even if you get the money, you still have to stay there and work. Your fourth brother has been there for nearly three months!"

"ah?"

Yinzhen is depressed.

"Then... then I won't go! Eating is more important."

Yinqi rubbed his forehead, he couldn't bear to see his brother's stupidity.

"You really believed my second brother's lies? You're already ten years old, why are you still staring at those vulgar things?"

The little fat boy was unhappy and he directly retorted,

"How can gold and silver be considered vulgar? Who in this world can live without gold and silver? If Fifth Brother doesn't like those vulgar things, then when the time comes, transfer the money that the Emperor gave you to settle down directly to me! I like it!"

Yinqi: “…”

His wedding date is set for the end of next year. Once his third and fourth brothers' mansions are completed, it will be his turn. If the money is given to Yinzhen, how can he set up his own mansion?

Do you want to get married and have children in the future?

Yinqi wanted to open his mouth but couldn't find the words to refute, so he looked at his brothers for help.

Yinreng smiled.

"Yin'er is right. There's a saying that goes, 'Money isn't everything, but without money, you can't do anything.' From nobles and high-ranking officials to common peddlers and hawkers, who isn't striving for money?"

"It's just that some people are hypocritical and think that gold and silver are linked to profit. But who doesn't value profit?"

“Not entirely.”

Yinzhi was somewhat disapproving. He felt that merchants who were full of the smell of money were not worthy of being in public, and he was determined that he would never have anything to do with them in the future.

Although he did spend the money given by the emperor to settle down, that was money from the emperor's private treasury. As a son, it was only natural for him to spend his father's money.

"Yeah?"

Yinreng saw that Yinzhi's face was already somewhat noble, and shook his head in a playful manner.

"Then what do you think of Prince Yu, Third Brother?"

Yinzhi answered without thinking,

"Amuji is naturally excellent, and everyone in the court praises his virtue."

"Then do you know how much he receives in gifts of ice and charcoal during festivals and holidays?"

Yinzhi was stunned when he heard this.

"Does Amuji also accept ice and charcoal offerings?"

The eyes of the other princes were also focused on Yinreng's face.

Prince Yu Fuquan was a rare clean man among the royal family. Even Yinzhi and Yinzhen's goal was to be a wise prince like Fuquan to assist his second brother, the crown prince.
