In the afternoon, Qingyan led the children on a stroll in the courtyard, admiring the Jiangnan-style architecture. Behind the main courtyard, there was another Jiangnan-style courtyard with a fish pond filled with various koi carp.
"Mother, these koi are so beautiful!" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen leaned against Qingyan, her little face beaming with joy.
"Have you packed everything you bought yesterday?" Qingyan bent down and asked her daughter. "What about yours?"
“Of course, Mother! I found that things here are cheaper than in Yangzhou, and the workmanship is more exquisite!” Although Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen didn’t care about the small amount of money, he felt a sense of satisfaction after bargaining and buying things.
Qingyan was overjoyed to hear her daughter's words. The little girl was the most down-to-earth among the royal children. If it were Songkri Erha, she would probably have said directly, "What's the use of these things?"
Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen would give the other party a tip that was more expensive than the item itself, but she didn't care about that at all.
In fact, Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen is helping these small vendors in his own way. They are exchanging goods on an equal footing, and the reward money is just an extra gift!
"Mother, am I doing the right thing?" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen explained his method of buying things.
Qingyan bent down and kissed her daughter's cheek. Seeing her son's slightly furrowed brows and the actions of her mother and sister, she could only sigh. Her mother and sister were really making quite a fuss.
"Don't be like that old man," Qingyan said, patting Yiken's little head.
People outsiders say that Yin and Yiken'e are the most alike, and Yin has looked like an old man since he was a child.
“Mother, my sister’s generosity will make those stall owners have other ideas!” Yiken’e thought that Yinzhun was right, wealth should not be flaunted.
“Last night, when our group arrived, the commercial street was already closed. Do you think those people didn’t know the truth?” Qingyan looked at Yikene gently.
Yiken looked up at her mother with her little face upturned in disbelief.
When he got off the carriage, he looked around but didn't see anyone special.
“Mother, you’re wrong, aren’t you?” Yiken asked directly.
“Behind the two streets, the imperial guards have already begun to seal off the area. These businessmen have been here for a long time and are quite familiar with the local people.” Qingyan laid everything out in front of Yiken’e.
Yiken was stunned. It turned out that the Emperor had made arrangements long ago, including the strange smile on the Emperor's face when he suggested going for a stroll.
"Mother, did Grandfather arrange this?" Yiken asked suspiciously.
“Yes.” Yin said on Qingyan’s behalf. He went up the steps and sat down next to Qingyan.
The two children sat upright on the stone bench, their backs straight, waiting for their phoenix eyes to look at Yin together.
“Your uncles and other uncles are all acting together. Your grandfather is worried. Have you seen what your third uncle looks like?” Yin Shen looked at Yiken’e with a serious expression.
Yiken'e nodded: "I know. Grandfather said that we must not touch those things. I understand."
Qingyan sighed. Yiken'e has really grown up and is starting to understand things outside.
"Well, besides that, what do you want to say about what you saw about your third uncle's situation?" Yin asked Yiken'e. "Recently, I've been very busy with work, and my son and I haven't had a heart-to-heart talk for a long time."
Yiken'e tilted her little head and thought about it for a while. What her father had said made Yiken'e think for a long time.
“Father, this time Third Uncle was probably set up. Those servants around you who are good to you are not necessarily sincere.” Yiken’e said clearly, “Those who are really hiding behind the scenes are not necessarily disloyal.”
Yin Zhi's affair made Yiken'e think a lot. The servants all expressed their loyalty, but he couldn't believe it. Reality really teaches people a lesson.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin and Qingyan exchanged a glance, and Yiken'e saw it very clearly.
“Father, am I wrong? Nowadays, my sister and I look at those servants with scrutinizing eyes,” Yiken said, sounding troubled.
After hearing what Yiken said, Yin felt that the children had grown up and that they did indeed have some spies around them. Yin even planned to have the twins deal with these people themselves.
"Use this time during your southern tour to carefully observe the people around you!" Yin said, looking at the twins.
Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen sidled up to Yin's side: "Father, do I have to handle this myself too?"
“Yes, you will be in charge of the household from now on, so you need to pay even more attention to these things than Yiken’e!” Yin picked up his daughter and placed her on his lap.
"Mother, I want to learn these things!" Hutulifengshengzhalafen felt an even greater responsibility on her shoulders after hearing Yin's explanation.
"Okay!" Qingyan patted his chest in agreement.
Yin chuckled inwardly. In front of the children, Yin would give Qingyan some face and would never expose her tricks.
“Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, I think you should learn from Grandma.” Yiken’e glanced at her mother and comforted her sister directly. Qingyan glared at her son after hearing his words.
"Mother is very good, so why do you want to learn from Granny?" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen looked at Yiken'e suspiciously.
Ugh!
Yiken'e was speechless. If she told the truth, her mother would lose face.
“Mother only manages the affairs of our residence. Other residences have concubines. Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, your future home may also have these women!” Qingyan said directly.
"Hmph, the consort must be just like my father, otherwise I won't get married!" Hutulifengsheng Zhalafen was furious.
Pfft!
The other three laughed. Yiken'e looked at his sister's proud expression and silently promised that if his brother-in-law was not good, he would just get a divorce. Even his eighth aunt could get a divorce, so with his father and himself around, there would definitely be no problem.
"Little girl, it's too early to talk about this now. When you meet the right person, you probably won't say it like this anymore!" Qingyan heard that Kangxi had finalized two candidates, and Yinzhi was investigating them.
Yiken gave his younger sister a piece of star fruit and told her to eat it first.
"Ah Hun, this is really delicious, even better than the ones sent to the capital!" Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen said directly.
A smile appeared on Yiken'e's face. He would buy some of his sister's favorite foods when he returned to Beijing.
“These are all seasonal fruits right now. If we buy too many, they will definitely spoil.” Qingyan knew Yiken’e’s actions all too well.
Yiken'e's little face scrunched up when she heard her mother's words.
“My sister still really likes these fruits!” Yiken said helplessly.
Qingyan and her daughter Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen both love fruit, and they prepare seasonal fruits almost every month, which requires Yin to spend a lot of manpower and resources to do.
