In mid-September, Yinzhen's mansion was completed and Yinreng was invited to attend his moving-in banquet.
This time, Kangxi allowed all the princes who were still studying to leave the palace.
So he met a large number of his younger brothers in Yinzhen's mansion.
As for Yinzhi, he was still in the military camp outside Beijing, and Yinreng had no idea what he was busy with.
A group of children seemed to have filled every corner of the hall, making a lot of noise.
Even though Yinreng loved children very much, he still found it difficult to resist.
Every time this happened, Yinreng couldn't help but sigh, saying that Kangxi was really fertile.
While Yinreng went to the yard to get some fresh air, Yinzhi followed him.
This time when Yinzhi saw him, there was no more avoidance in his eyes as in previous days.
"Second brother."
Yinreng withdrew his gaze from the scenery in the courtyard and turned to look at Yinzhi.
"Um?"
In fact, regardless of the quantity, the quality of the children born to Kangxi was also quite high.
The third brother had this kind of elegant and refined temperament of a scholar, which Yinreng had never seen in anyone else.
"Thank you, second brother, for showing mercy and letting Wang Shan go!"
Upon hearing this, Yinreng directly denied it.
"No need to thank me. I don't have the time to target a playboy."
When Yinzhi heard this, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Wasn’t it done by second brother?
How is that possible?
Yinreng had no intention of explaining and said bluntly,
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and you've got the wrong person."
Na'echang might not be Soetu's man, and even if he was, what did that have to do with him?
Anyway, he didn't know about it.
He's just a worker who hates taking the blame.
Yinzhi frowned and carefully observed Yinreng's frank expression, a hint of complexity flashed across his eyes.
"Second brother...believe it or not, I really don't have that intention..."
"Third brother!"
Yinreng interrupted his surrender,
"It's the fourth brother's housewarming party now. He's getting married soon. We should talk about something happy."
Yinzhi pursed his lips and forced a smile.
"OK."
Originally, he didn't want to compete with his second brother for that position.
But the emperor's gaze had never been on him for as long as it was now.
It was like a dream, and he was reluctant to wake up.
So later on, he did develop some extremely secret greed.
Haven't taken action yet.
He was awakened by a cruel slap in the face in the court.
At first, he also thought that Wang Shan's son was framed and did such an irrational thing. He was full of indignation and wanted to find evidence to slap Soetu in the face.
However, in the end, all the evidence showed that Wang Shan was not innocent.
If you get to the bottom of it, he cannot escape blame.
Yinzhi didn't want to support such a person.
But the fact is, he had to support Wang Shan...
Not long after the moving banquet, Yinzhen’s wedding banquet arrived as scheduled.
As if to demonstrate his fairness, Kangxi also came out of the palace and stayed for a while at Yinzhen's wedding.
His purpose this time was not very strong, which helped to calm Yinzhen's tense nerves.
After Yinzhen's wedding, the weather gradually turned colder.
There were suddenly a few more items in the blacksmith shop in the outer city.
A strangely shaped stove and black blocks piled up like a hill.
Looks like charcoal.
But it doesn't seem to be charcoal.
Later, the owner of the blacksmith shop came out to explain that they were coal briquettes.
What are coal balls?
Forehead……
Balls made of coal!
The people in Beijing understood it clearly.
Coal is probably the same thing as charcoal.
Then he lost interest again.
Charcoal is something that only rich people can afford. Ordinary people like them who are struggling to make ends meet can only buy firewood.
One hundred pounds of firewood only costs twenty cents.
And a pound of charcoal costs three cents.
What stupid and crazy people would buy charcoal to burn?
Therefore, everyone just regarded the stove as a novelty. After looking at it for a while, people who came to watch the fun came and went, but few people were willing to pay for it.
Until a scholar who looked a little down and out asked about the price of the coal briquettes.
One penny is three pieces.
Three pieces?!
The people watching the excitement around were in an uproar.
The scholar carefully asked how to use the coal briquettes, and the shopkeeper kindly demonstrated it to him personally.
More and more people gathered around to watch the fun.
The shopkeeper was very skilled at lighting the coal balls. Everyone watched him stuff the coal balls into the furnace where some firewood had already been lit. Soon, the coal balls caught fire.
The shopkeeper stuffed the remaining coal balls back in, then took out a casserole and boiled water in it.
A quarter of an hour later, steam began to rise from the water in the casserole. The shopkeeper moved the casserole away and asked everyone to look at the burning situation in the furnace.
Looking at the coal balls burning brightly in the furnace, the people's interest was ignited.
Ordinary people also know how long a pound of ordinary firewood can burn.
Compared with ordinary firewood, the burning time of these coal balls is obviously longer.
For poor families, this little bit of time is enough to make them excited.
However, after learning about the price of coal stoves, many people backed off.
Five cents of silver is already a huge sum of money, enough to feed a family of five for half a month.
Only a few relatively wealthy families bought this novelty and planned to show off to their neighbors.
