Chapter 538: I've been caught in the rain, so I'm going to tear up other people's umbrellas



Isn't that what they say? Sharing happiness is better than enjoying it alone. Yinzhen's heroic act of betraying his son, for Yinzhi and others who have been so busy lately that they wish they had three heads and six arms, simply means two words: hope.

Yinzhen and his family may not have other things, but they all have sons. Confucius once said, "It is difficult to be filial. When there is something to do, the disciples should do the hard work." Now is the time for them to show their filial piety.

It must be said that Yinzuo, this butterfly from another world, was really powerful. Look at the nine dragons in history who were fighting for the position under Kangxi's butt, and they were all blown away by his wings.

It would be fine if none of them wanted to fight for the throne, but the throne, which was once a popular commodity in history and had caused them to fight to the point of bloodshed, now seemed like a hot potato. It seemed that whoever got the throne would be eager to throw it away.

At this time, Kangxi, who was in the Rehe Mountain Resort, obviously did not know that his grandchildren were in dire straits because of his abandonment of responsibility. They were living a comfortable life now.

After completely giving up the affairs of state, Kangxi now had all his time at his disposal. It would have been fine if he didn't have the conditions before, but now that he had plenty of time, the old man decided to learn from his beloved son and experience the life of a playboy in the capital.

As the saying goes, the speed of a train depends on the locomotive. With Yinzuo as an example, Kangxi soon experienced a different kind of comfortable life that he had not experienced in the previous decades.

In the past, when Kangxi needed to attend court, he would usually get up at 4:45 pm. Even if he lived outside the palace, he was used to getting up early and would get up at the latest at 5:00 pm.

But now, he can sleep until he wakes up naturally. Although the time is almost the same as the time Liang Jiugong woke him up in the past, the difference between having an alarm clock and not having one is huge.

If sleeping until waking up naturally is the key to a wonderful day, then a breakfast that is completely to your liking is the true salvation of the soul. You have to know that his breakfast in the past was all according to regulations, and he had to eat it even if he didn't like it.

His day officially began after breakfast. In the morning, while the sun was not shining, he took his lazy son Yinzuo for a walk around Ruyi Island, and then asked someone to bring a fishing rod and sit by the lake for a while.

After lunch, he would take a short rest and take a nap. When he got up, he would ask Yinreng to come and play chess with him, or call a few sons to go out for a horse race. In a word, he had lived for decades, and it was only in recent times that he began to live a normal life.

If you ask Kangxi what his life was like in the past, he will definitely tell you Yinzuo's famous saying: I get up earlier than the chickens, sleep later than the dogs, and work harder than the donkeys. This is how he lived in the past...

Kangxi's life was so peaceful that he could barely contain his joy, singing "Today is a Good Day" every day. Meanwhile, the imperial grandchildren in the capital, who were being treated like slaves by their fathers, were cursing and swearing. "Is there any justice in this world?" they asked. "Have you ever seen a father treat his sons like donkeys?"

"Oh, heaven, oh, earth, which passing immortal can come and help me escape from this hell? Big brother, I regret it. If I had known it would be like this, I would have hugged my sixth uncle's thigh and cried for a while, even if I was willing to be beaten to death by my father. Maybe he would have softened his heart and taken me with him. Alas, it's all tears. Why doesn't he have a regret medicine in this world..."

Who said it wasn't true? You said there are so many kinds of medicine in this world, why is there no such thing as regret medicine? Hong Xi frowned and glanced at Hong Qing, who was crying and hugging his thighs. He felt helpless. What's the point of you still saying this at this time? Do you think big brother doesn't regret it? I'm regretting it so much now.

Isn't there a song that goes like this? Your life and my life seem different... With the help of Hongxi and his group of coolies, Yinzhen and his group's lives immediately got better. Look at these people who used to be so busy that they wished they had three heads and six arms, but now they have time to get together for tea and chat.

"Alas, Hongxi and the others still haven't experienced enough. Look at them all crying and wailing after just a few days. Since they still have time to cry, it means that the tasks we assigned to them are not strong enough. Fourth Brother, how about this, we give them a bit more pressure?"

Good man, let's talk about how deep the hatred and resentment is. If I remember correctly, big brother, your son seems to be in this group of people. What's the matter? Are you not going to get along... But then again, they have been caught in the rain themselves, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with tearing up other people's umbrellas...

"Big brother is right. Compared to us, Hongqing and his group of kids are living such a comfortable life. I think it's better to do this. Starting tomorrow, Hongxu, Hongshi, Hongzheng and the others won't have to go to the study room anymore. They're already fifteen or sixteen years old. It's time for them to go out and gain some experience..."

Well, that's what I said. There isn't a single good person among them, the Aisin-Gioro clan. As the saying goes, a son pays for his father's debts. It doesn't make sense that they have to work themselves to death in the capital every day, while Yinzuo and Yin'er can live happily every day.

Yinzuo had no idea at this time that his poor son was paying off his debts. At this moment, his son was pulling Yinzhen and a group of officials transferred from the Ministry of Works to sit together and discuss how to build his house in Laizhou Prefecture.

Since the house is built on the seaside, waterproofing and moisture-proofing are of course the top priorities. After some discussion, Yinzuo finally decided to adopt the plan proposed by the Ministry of Works. The house will not be built according to the northern house construction method, but will borrow the house construction form of the Jiangnan water town to combine the north and the south.

"Then let's do as Master Gu said. The foundation of the house is too high, so we'll first build a stone pile about one meter high below, and then build bricks and stones on top. Xiaojiu and I are novices, so everything is in your hands. If there's anything missing, just let me know. In short, my house doesn't need to be grand, but it must be comfortable to live in..."

Who was Yinzuo? He was the actual person in charge of the Ministry of Works. Although he didn't usually take care of the Ministry's affairs, it was obvious that no one dared to fool him on this matter. When the people in the Ministry of Works heard what Yinzuo said, they helped him stand up and salute to show that they would do their best.

Yinzuo himself was not short of money, and with Yin'er, the Qing Dynasty's version of the God of Wealth, to support him, he spent money like water without any regret.

Isn't there a saying that goes, "Money makes the world go round." Moreover, Yinzuo not only has money, but he also has money and power. With money and power, he will be successful wherever he goes.
