Chapter 14: This is the voice of the heart. He loves to hear it.

It is not easy to find a time when Yinzhen is not with Yinsi.

But it is impossible for these two brothers to stick together 24 hours a day, there will always be a time to separate.

Yinzhen had something to discuss with Yinsi, but Yin'er was left alone because he was busy with his own business.

Yinzhen wanted to find someone, so he blocked Yinlu in the restaurant.

Yinzhen was settling accounts for the first half of the year with the shopkeeper on the south side in a private room when he heard someone was breaking in. His men were unable to stop him and were a little panicked. But when the person came in and it turned out to be Yinzhen, Yinzhen immediately relaxed.

Yinzhen waved his hand, and his shopkeeper bowed and went downstairs.

Yinzhen said casually, "It's Fourth Brother. Why do you have the leisure time to come to my place today?"

Yinzhen looked at the scattered account books on the table. Yin'er hadn't finished his account yet, but it was clear that he wasn't on guard against him, and didn't even care whether he looked at it or not.

Yinzhen's eyes fell on the account, and Yin'er was also open about it without any intention of hiding it.

Yinzhen sat down and said, "Ninth brother, I want to buy a few machines from you."

Yinzhen laughed: "Why does Fourth Brother want machines? I remember that Fourth Brother's job has nothing to do with machines. The Heavenly Sacrifice is about to begin. Fourth Brother still has the mood to do other things?"

"Three."

Yinzhen asked, "Can you sell it?"

Yinzhen said, "My father has ordered that we cannot buy or sell machines privately. These machines are used by the government for textile production. I only have ten of them, but my fourth brother asked for three right away. Could it be that he has set his eyes on my younger brother's business and wants to get a piece of it?"

Yinzhen said, "I have no interest in your business. I have other uses for these three machines."

"It is forbidden to modify the machine without permission." Yinzhen said with a smile, "Don't blame me, Fourth Brother. I'm sorry that I really can't agree to your request."

Only the palace and some of the noble families of the Eight Banners were willing to be friendly with the missionaries and accept Western things.

Although there were no clear prohibitions from the ministers and the common people, the rules were there, and machines could not replace manpower.

Therefore, the textile machines were only owned by the government in Jiangnan and could not be found anywhere else.

It was because of the huge profits here that Yinzhen took the risk and set his sights on this business.

Myna needed to make ends meet, and he also had to spend time and money to make friends with ministers, which was a huge expense. Yinzhen also had a big appetite, which gave him such courage.

Since the fourth brother doesn't want to do business, there's no point in talking about buying machines.

Yinzhen looked at him steadily and said, "Then don't blame me for being heartless, Ninth Brother. Tell Father that you secretly raised a machine."

Yinzhen sat up straight at once: "Fourth brother, are you going to sue me for something bad?"

Yinzhen smiled slightly and said, "You were the one who disobeyed the order first."

Yinzhen understood his fourth brother.

She seems to be a low-key person, but she has never made any mistakes in her work over the years. I don't know what has happened to her in the past few months, but she has not even cared about the prince's face, and she only cares about winning favor in front of the emperor.

But the emperor was very much attracted by his tricks. The prince was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he could not find any fault with him to deal with him.

Yinzhen was already fierce and powerful, and now with his reckless temperament, he found it very difficult to deal with.

If the emperor really knew about this, everything would be over.

Yinzhen is regretting now. Why did he think his fourth brother was honest and simple? Why didn't he know to be on guard against the fourth brother when doing business?

Yinzhen reluctantly gave up the three machines: "How much money will you give?"

Yinzhen stretched out his hand and made the number seven.

Seventy thousand taels.

One machine costs about 10,000 to 14,000 yuan.

The fourth brother was willing to give 70,000 taels to cover all the losses in the next one or two years.

Besides, he could use the 70,000 taels to buy a few more machines.

Yinzhen had connections, so the machines he bought could be put into production immediately, and the money could be deposited directly into the account without any delay, with almost no loss.

Yinzhen agreed immediately. He was also really curious: "Fourth brother, you spent so much money to buy three machines, but you are not doing business. What are you going to do with it?"

"It's useful." The Fourth Prince was very frugal with words.

Yinzhen didn't get the answer, so he stopped asking. He exchanged money with goods, and the money and goods were exchanged. This is how loyal Yinzhen, a businessman, is.

He also kindly asked whether he wanted to help Yinzhen transport the machine to the capital.

Yinzhen laughed and said, "To use a machine under the Emperor's watchful eyes is a real courage."

Yinzhen didn't fall for his trick: "I have already sent someone to your place. There is no need to send the machine to the capital, just keep it in the south."

Those machines are used for textile production and need to be modified before they can be used to make the sanitary napkins that Yuyan mentioned.

There is no one in the capital who can modify machines. Only in the south can there be people who can modify machines. So it is more convenient to put it in the south.

Yinzhen thought that the matter of Yinzhen was over, and was about to call his shopkeeper in to continue the settlement, but Yinzhen did not get up.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Yinzhen said, "Ninth brother, I will hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the heaven in a few days. You should come with me."

"Me?" Yinzhen was puzzled. "What am I going to do?"

"Where is Old Thirteen? Let Old Thirteen go." In the past, hasn't Old Thirteen always been Old Four's follower?

He didn't know yet that Old Thirteen was recuperating in his own house.

Yinzhen lowered his eyes and glanced at the remaining half cup of tea.

This tea doesn't taste good. He just drank it casually, but now he remembered that Fu Jin said that in order to protect his stomach, he was not allowed to drink green tea. Green tea is too cold, and drinking too much can easily cause kidney stones and hurt the stomach.

Yinzhen said bluntly: "Are you going or not? If not, I will go to the emperor and complain."

Yinzhen was annoyed: "Complain, complain. That's all you can do, fourth brother! How old are you?"

"Besides, you have a machine in your hand now. If you want to complain, I can complain too."

Come on, who is afraid of who.

Who doesn't want to threaten others?

Yinzhen's eyes were calm: "Of course you can go and complain. It's just right that we will be finished together."

Yinzhen has always felt that he is difficult enough, and even his mother can't control him now.

But I didn't expect to meet my nemesis today.

There is a kind of calm madness in Lao Si's eyes, which makes people feel that every word he says is true. It's all over, and Lao Si seems to be looking forward to it.

Yinzhen sighed. The fourth brother was still ruthless. He didn't want to die with the fourth brother.

"Okay. I'll go with you." It was just a lie. For the sake of money, he endured it.

Everyone knew that the emperor only appointed the fourth son to preside over the sacrifice. The fourth son's personality would not allow any problems to occur during the sacrifice. If there were any achievements, they would all belong to the fourth son. The emperor would only remember the fourth son.

In the past, Old Thirteen was the one who worked hard as a follower, but now, for some reason, Old Four came to find him.

Knowing that this was a thankless job and that he would only be busy running around, Yinzhen had no choice but to accept it.

Yinzhen smiled: "Okay."

These seventy thousand taels from you are not so easy to take.

After Yuyan built a small house here for Baifu, Baifu came to stay for a night almost every few days.

The small pillow and quilt that Baifu sleeps on were both made by Yuyan herself.

But her needlework was so ugly that Xiaohong and the others finally couldn't stand it anymore and took the things over. They shared the work and finished it in one afternoon.

Yuyan thought about herself sewing the small quilt and pillow with her eyes closed, and she once again missed the machine very much.

Of course, handmade things are good, but people with disabilities should be allowed to use machines. In fact, the principle of sewing machines is not very complicated, and if someone who knows about machinery wants to make it, it can still be made.

Yuyan was just daydreaming. Sewing machines only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, and they were also introduced from outside. Anyway, they were going to appear, so why not just push it a little?

Don't like its little house.

After sleeping for two or three days, it brought its little friend over to show him its new house.

Zaohua is a five-month-old puppy. She is also a puppy. A female dog. She is a beautiful black and white girl.

Because puppies are full of curiosity and desire to explore the outside world, they are very energetic and love to explore and discover new places.

Zaohua walked around Baifu's small house, and then began to jump and explore Yuyan's yard.

It even tried to jump onto the stool and touch the small green carrots on it, but because it was still too small and its body was not complete, it could not get up no matter how hard it tried.

Baifu Wudi dotes on little Creation and always helps it by lifting its little belly with his nose.

Yinzhen came back early that day. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, a flower shadow rushed over and hit his foot with such force that there was even a sound.

Yinzhen looked down and saw that he was hit and fell to the ground, staggering.

Baifu, who was chasing from behind, stopped.

"Is Master Beile okay?" Yu Yan hurried over to check.

Yinzhen said, "It's okay."

Yu Yan quickly picked up Little Zaohua and said in a very gentle voice, "Did our Little Zaohua bump his head and hurt it? Then I'll rub it and blow on it. It will hurt so much."

Yinzhen: “…”

He glanced over and Baifu let out a cry and ran away. Don't look for it, it wasn't it. The little one rushed over because he was having fun, it has nothing to do with it.

In fact, there were two dogs, one big and one small, chasing and fighting in Yuyan's place.

The afternoon sun was so bright that Yuyan was leaning on the wide couch to bask in the sun. The two cats were supposed to be with her, but the smaller one was too restless and when he woke up he hooked up with Baifu to play. He couldn't stop playing and bumped into Yinzhen.

The little creature was very strong. After being touched twice by Yuyan in her arms, it ran away to play with its little friend Baifu.

Yuyan washed her hands, tidied herself up a bit, and then came over to look at Yinzhen and said with a smile, "Master Beile came back early today. Just in time for afternoon tea. The kitchen made a not-so-sweet strawberry cake today. Give it to Master Beile to try."

This season is not the time to eat strawberries. But there are some in the palace, a small basket sent specially for the Fourth Prince's Mansion as an extra gift from the Emperor.

Yuyan had tasted it and found the strawberries to be very sweet, so the chef only gave the cake a one-point rating for the sugar content.

Yinzhen doesn't like sweets very much.

But in such good sunshine, the room was full of brightness and warmth, outside the house there were the excited shouts of the gods, in front of him there was a gentle smile with jade-like eyes, Yinzhen's heart seemed to melt in the sparkling lake water.

With warm tenderness.

Yinzhen tasted the small cake and saw Yuyan, who was eating with him, squinting her eyes. He knew that Fujin liked it, so he gave the remaining two to Fujin.

He was happy when Fu Jin enjoyed the meal.

"Su Peisheng."

Su Peisheng came in in response, and four other eunuchs also came in carrying two red boxes.

After putting down the red box, Su Peisheng led his men out, and Yinzhen came forward with Yuyan to take a look.

He opened the lid of the box himself: "Master promised Fu Jin before. The things Fu Jin needs have been prepared. According to Fu Jin's description, this box should be enough for Fu Jin to use for three months. The things can be stored, Fu Jin, don't worry."

Rows of sanitary napkins were neatly placed in cotton bags. There was no strange smell at all, and there was even a faint fragrance.

Yuyan picked it up and looked at it. She couldn't see any trace of industrial machinery. It was made very cleanly and hygienically, and there was absolutely no messy stuff added in it.

Yuyan never thought that after traveling back to the Qing Dynasty after traveling through ancient times, she would be able to use clean and hygienic toiletries without having to worry about the quality at all.

She was really moved.

It’s all for Yinzhen’s heart.

Not only did he do what she asked, but he did it so well. Yu Yan had forgotten about this matter and basically didn't have any hope.

But Yinzhen fulfilled her wish. He accomplished something that seemed insignificant and unworthy of mention in the eyes of so many men.

Yuyan gave Yinzhen a big hug.

She was so happy that she almost fell down with too much force, and it was Yinzhen who held her waist.

[You are the best man in the world! A real man! A real man! You are so good to me, I have to do something. We are husband and wife now, I have to repay you.]

Yinzhen couldn't suppress the smile anymore.

He loves to hear this voice.

Yinzhen, he was happy.
