Yinzuo has never been a man short of money. He used to have concerns when he was in the capital, but now in Zunhua, he can have fun without any restrictions. For this fireworks show, Yinzuo sent people to the capital to invite the best masters more than half a month ago. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, so he could have fun without any restrictions.
The fireworks of the Qing Dynasty are naturally incomparable to modern fireworks, but for Hongxu and others who grew up in the imperial city, it was enough to see. It was New Year's Day and they naturally had fun as much as they wanted. Yinzuo did not restrict the children and agreed to Hongxu and Hongshi's request to go down and experience lighting fireworks with their own hands.
Now that everyone lives together, Kangxi naturally must be aware of the big commotion on Yinzuo's side, but the same thing applies, it's the New Year, and it's rare for children to be so happy, so just let them be.
Because he got up late the night before, Yinzuo lived up to everyone's expectations and got up late again on New Year's Day as expected.
"Dexi, what time is it now? I usually think you're quite smart, but why did you do something stupid today? Why didn't you wake me up at the appointed time? Hurry up and get my clothes..."
Yinzuo was an idle man, so even if he got up late, it wouldn't matter. But wasn't today a special day? This New Year's Day was of great significance to Yinzuo, after all, he was counting on making a fortune today.
At this moment, Dexi's mind was filled with three words: "Unfair! What do you mean I didn't wake you up? Wasn't it you who insisted on staying in bed? "Would you like to see the red mark on my hand? It proves I was wronged."
When Yinzuo hurriedly brought his men to Kangxi's residence, Yinzhi, Yinreng and others had already arrived. It was obvious from their appearance that everyone had been waiting for a long time.
Since Yinzuo had arrived, there was no need to delay any longer. Kangxi stood up first and took his sons out and walked towards the courtyard where the empress dowager lived.
The Empress Dowager's place was the same as in previous years - lively. Yinzuo, as usual, followed Kangxi and paid New Year's greetings to the old lady in a proper manner. After the Empress Dowager called him, he and Yinqi walked to the old lady's side and sat down on her left and right.
Yinzuo was a sweet-talker, and he was not afraid to offer sweet words, which made the old lady smile from ear to ear.
Although Yinqi is not as eloquent as Yinzuo, he has a strong innate buff. Just based on the fact that he was raised by the old lady, none of these princes can compete with him.
The old lady, like Yinzuo, was not short of money. When she was happy, her words were all in one word - reward. So no matter how low the status of those present was, they all benefited from our fifth and sixth princes. Even Kangxi received two red envelopes this year.
"Grandson, thank you very much for the reward from the Empress Dowager. You don't know how stingy my Khan Father is these days. I just wished him a happy new year, and it's ok that he ignored me, but he didn't even give me a red envelope for the New Year. And the Empress Dowager, look at the red envelope, it's almost bursting my wallet..."
Kangxi looked at Yinzuo who was deliberately holding up the purse and waving it in front of him, and he felt that this son was a bit annoying. What do you mean by "I'm very stingy"? I didn't give you a red envelope. Isn't it because you came too late?
Yinzuo has never been afraid of Kangxi. Even when his father glared at him, he still dared to do his own thing. That guy insulted Kangxi. If it wasn't the New Year, he would definitely chase this kid and beat him up.
Yinzuo's fuss was not entirely without benefits. The old lady was very happy anyway.
Whenever Yinzuo thought about the fact that in the 57th year of Kangxi's reign, the life of this lively old lady with wrinkled smile on her face might come to an end just as it did in history, he couldn't help feeling sad.
The old empress dowager naturally didn't know what Yinzuo was thinking. Seeing that he looked sad, she thought that he was sad because Kangxi didn't give him the red envelope, so she hurriedly took Yinzuo's hand and patted it.
"It's okay, sweetheart. It's just a red envelope. If your father doesn't give it to you, Mama will make it up to you. And Yinqi, Mama, don't be sad. Mama will give it to you too..."
So is Yinqi sad? Haha, you're overthinking it. Yinzuo thinks he's stingy because he gets the extra red envelope every year. They never got it in the first place, so why should he be sad?
But the same thing goes, money never bites. Who would complain about having too much money? It’s okay to be sad about being misunderstood. You can still get red envelopes.
After coming out of the Empress Dowager's courtyard, Yinzuo was obviously still not recovered. Although his face looked no different from usual, how could Kangxi, as a father, not see it? Looking at Yinzuo who was obviously in a low mood, Kangxi couldn't help but frown. After they finally held on and returned to their residence, the old father naturally could no longer bear it.
"Yinzuo, what's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? Or are you really unhappy because I didn't give you a red envelope for the New Year..."
Putting aside the question of whether the reason that made Yinzuo sad could be explained to outsiders, it is just that people have different degrees of closeness and distance. Compared with the empress dowager, Yinzuo is naturally closer to Kangxi, who is with him day and night.
Even if everything really developed as it did in history, wasn't it time yet? Yin Zuo naturally wouldn't use these illusory and irresistible things to cause trouble to others.
"Father, who are you talking to? Is your son such a stingy person? I just said that to make the Royal Madam laugh. I don't feel unwell anywhere. I just felt a little emotional when I saw the Royal Madam's white hair. In my impression, the Royal Madam is definitely not like that... Oh, how nice it would be if time could go backwards..."
Kangxi naturally laughed off Yinzuo's sudden childish words. After all, there is a saying that time cannot be reversed once it has passed. Time has passed and there is no reason to go back.
Yinzuo's sadness came and went quickly. He was not in the capital this year, so he naturally did not need to entertain court officials on New Year's Day. After paying New Year's greetings to the empress dowager and returning, his tasks for the day were basically completed.
Yinzuo slept late yesterday and got up early today. Since he had some free time, he simply didn't think about anything and fell asleep directly. By the time he woke up, the emotions he had in the morning would have been almost digested.
"Dexi, come in quickly and help me wash and change clothes. What time is it now? Is lunch time over? If not, let's hurry up so that we can go to Khan Ama for a free meal..."
