Qing Dynasty Chronicle

"I'm dying of poverty, I'm really dying of poverty..." Yinti walked around in a jade and antique shop, talking non-stop.

"Don't keep saying the word 'death' on my lips!" What Yinti responded to was the muffled sound of a fan hitting the back of his head and a somewhat sinister sentence.

Yinti clutched the back of his head and turned around and stared at the instigator, "Ninth brother, can you not just greet me on my head? My head is not made of stone!"

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen who was almost furious, and rolled his eyes, "If you don't say stupid things, I won't be able to do anything."

"Wipe!" Yinti cursed secretly.

Yinzhen, who still doesn't understand the modern popular swearing, feels that this is not a good word, and her peach blossom eyes are raised, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Yinzhen shook his head quickly, and then moved to Yinzhen's side to complain, "Why is Brother Ten's birthday so close to Brother Thirteen's? It’s my brother’s birthday.” After saying that, he shook his purse, “My money…”

Yinzhen obviously didn't like Yinti's exaggerated metaphor, "What's wrong with you? A bowl of longevity noodles won't go away in ten days and half a month?"

"The point is not this, okay, Brother Ninth?" Yinti waved his hands indifferently, "The point is, the birthdays of Brother Ten and Brother Thirteen are too close!"

"Then?" Yinzhen just looked at Yinzhen and asked.

"Then, my little brother, my purse is too thin!" To emphasize his own point, Yinzhen shook the purse in front of Yinzhen, but Yinzhen slapped it down with a fan, and Yinzhen retracted it with pouting mouth Money bag, and added, "Besides, it's so close, I can't think of what to give for a while."

"Tch, I think it's true what people said about you falling off your horse and losing your mind." Yinzhen snorted.

Yinti immediately glared at this sentence, "Who, who said it? Which bastard said it? I want to skin him!"

"Then why are you so worried about sending something?" Yinzhen asked back.

Yinti was very straightforward, "When you give something, you have to show your heart, and you have to pick one casually, and I will do it too. The capital is so prosperous, as long as you have money, you can't buy anything? But it's not enough sincerity to send it out. Anyway, he is my elder brother, how can he be careless?" After speaking, he rolled his eyes and leaned in front of Yinzhen, "Why don't I engrave a seal for tenth brother, ninth brother, what do you think? I made it myself , How thoughtful!" Yinti seemed very proud of his little burst of inspiration.

"Forget it, let me show your embarrassing skills in front of me, don't show it off to Lao Shi, mynah will feel bad if he sees you spoiling a piece of good material." The fan closed in Yinzhen's hand Shaking Yinti's eyes, he denied it.

"Shameful?" Yinti tilted his head, "Is my craftsmanship a shame?" After saying that, he stretched out his hand in front of Yintang, "If you think it's ashamed, return it to me, I've been up for several nights!"

"You still said that you are not ashamed, and you ask others to take back what you gave away!" Yinzhen left a sentence, ignored Yinzhen, and turned to look at the things in the shop.

Yinzhen grinned at Yinzhen's back and made a face for a while, then he chose the opposite direction from Yinzhen's to look at the things in the shop.

After strolling around, Yinti stopped in front of a piece of mutton fat jade pendant. This piece of mutton fat jade was not big, about the size of half a woman's palm, but one could tell by the warm and delicate texture that it was a jade pendant. The top product has a pattern of hidden dragon and crouching tiger carved on its surface, Yinti reached out to pick up the jade piece and looked at it carefully, but the two seal characters engraved on the back of the jade piece made Yinti stand on the spot in awe.

Yinzhen was looking at the things in the shop from the corner of the eye, and he was also paying attention to Yinzhen, seeing him standing there holding a jade pendant, he couldn't help frowning, and walked over, "What's wrong?"

Yinzhen, who was awakened by Yinzhen's voice, came back to his senses and subconsciously clenched the jade pendant in his hand, then looked at Yinzhen with a blank gaze, "Huh?"

"I said what's wrong with you? How did you start to stay in a daze?" Yinti raised his chin from Yinti, and raised his hand to see what Yinti had in his hand, but Yinti subconsciously moved the hand holding Yupei to her. She flinched back a bit, which made Yinzhen raise her eyebrows, "Why? What kind of good thing are you clutching so desperately? I won't snatch yours, just take a look."

Probably Yinzhen also felt that his reaction just now was a little too much, so he smiled coyly, and stretched out his hand to Yinzhen, "I just saw this jade pendant, and I think it's pretty good."

Yinzhen lowered his head and took the jade pendant from Yinzhen's hand, looked at it carefully, and nodded, "It's a good material, and the carving is good," he said, flipping to the back of the jade pendant, and then frowned, "It's just The words engraved on the back are somewhat nondescript."

"I think it's pretty good." Yinti took the jade pendant back from Yintang, stroked the two words on the back a few times, and said.

Seeing Yinti's infatuated look, Yinzhen asked, "Then you want to give this to Old Ten?"

"No." Yinzhen shook his head without thinking about it before leaving the jade pendant, and then raised his head and smiled embarrassedly at Yinzhen, "I want to buy it myself." The boss who was knocked to the side was recruited, "Is this for sale?"

The boss with a goatee walked up to the two masters whose identities were unusual at first glance, looked at the jade in Yinti's hand, and said with a smile, "This master has a good eye, this is the best suet white jade, how about that?" The carvings are also made by everyone..."

Yinzhen was impatient to hear the boss brag about the value of this thing, and said, "My younger brother only asks you how much money, where do you come from so much nonsense?"

"Yes yes yes." Interrupted by Yinzhen, the boss didn't make a fuss, nodded quickly, and said flatly, "This jade pendant is 5000 taels of silver."

Before Yinzhen could speak, Yinzhen uttered again, "5000 taels? Why don't you grab it?"

"My lord, there is a saying that gold has a price and jade is priceless, let alone this hard-to-find first-class suet white jade?" Seeing Yinzhen's bulging eyes, the boss immediately said bitterly, "You You and your brother can see that they are people of status. You two must know the price of this jade. In front of a discerning person like you, I don’t dare to play with you. The real price! There is no water at all. ..."

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen who was staring at Yupei's beautiful eyes, and said again, "The real price? I think you are the price of gold, right? Hu Qin is full of words and doesn't tell the truth..."

"Hey, Brother Nine, I'll return the silver to you when I get back." The goatee boss smiled and sent him out the door with a wrinkled face full of old chrysanthemums, Yinti happily touched the jade pendant in his hand, and turned his head. Said to Yinzhen with a smile.

"Come on, we brothers are still talking about not paying back." Yinzhen glanced at the jade pendant, and there were still some opinions on the left and right, "It's really good, but it's just 3000 taels. You all think that the boss has made money, so you like it so much?"

Yinzhen raised his head to look at Yinzhen, nodded vigorously, "En!"

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen's smiling face showing a mouthful of white teeth, and finally just waved his hand, "Come on, as long as you like it."

He said he was going out to find a birthday gift for Yinti, but Yinti spent his small coffers to get back a suet jade pendant. Looking at the rarity, those who didn't know it thought that Yinti had found some kind of rare treasure .

He didn't prepare a gift for Yinti, Yinti thought about it for several days, and finally went to Yintang with a shy face, Yinti poured nice words on his ninth brother as if he didn't want money, and finally took back a few Rolling eyes, in the end Yinzhen nodded and agreed to let Yinzhen take care of it.

"Hey, let me just say, Brother Ninth, you are the best!" Yinti was happy, and stepped forward to hug Yinzhen and patted him a few times, "Where can I find a brother who is as good to my brother as you are!"

Yinti's sudden intimate action stunned Yinti for a moment, and then he recovered and pushed Yinti away, "Hey hey hey, don't give me so much magic soup, you are such a big man, you still see people like a child Just jump up, what kind of system is it?"

Yinti's problem was solved, and he was in a very good mood, whatever Yintang said.

On the day of Yinji's birthday, it happened that the old man took the prince, the third child and the thirteenth to set off westward, so after respectfully sending off the big guy Khan Ama and his brothers, the tenth child straightened up With a smile, he greeted his brother to drink at his house.

Through observations these days, Yinti feels that his tenth brother lives a more carefree life. Among all the brothers, except Prince Yinreng, he has the most noble status. Master Kang is not bad for him, so he should work hard. That is to say that after Yinreng was fired, he could directly compete for the post of prince.But compared to Yinhu, the eighth elder brother who came from a humble background but is ambitious, Yinhu has no interest in this. The reason why he joins the Eighth Master Party is only because he has a good relationship with himself and grows up together. The eldest Lao Jiu followed the eighth elder brother.For the rest of the time, Yinyu believed in the dogma of 'carpe me in time' and 'everything as you wish', so this time for his birthday, I just invited the Baye Party and Yintang's own brother, Fifth Brother, as he pleased. Brothers and brothers, hey, I'm sorry, what should you do, he is impatient to greet you.

As for Yinji's way of handling things, the rest of the elder brothers were obviously used to it, and they dispersed after saying hello.

Following Yinzhen to his house, Yinti sent over the gift that Yinti had found, and said auspicious words.

Yinbi took the thing with a smile, opened it for a look, but then widened her eyes in the next second, "A musket?!"

"Yes, musket." Seeing Yinyu's reaction, Yinti knew that he had given the right thing, "Do you like Brother Ten?"

"I like it, I like it so much!" Yin Ni took out the musket in the box with bright eyes and played with it for a while, then patted Yin Yu's shoulder and said, "This is more refined than the one I have now, Where did you find Fourteen?"

"Hey, Brother Ten, don't ask, just do as long as you like it, and it's not in vain for me to spend so much time looking for it for you!" Yinti looked very mysterious.

Yinti is not the kind of character who breaks the casserole and asks the end. Seeing what Yinti said, he didn't press the question any further. He just patted Yinti's arm and said good brothers several times, and then yelled that he would not get drunk with Yinti. .

Taking advantage of Yinti's effort to greet Yinhu, Yinti walked up to Yinti, and said with a smile on his face, "It really took a lot of work for Master Fourteen to do this thing?"

Yinti, who was drinking tea, almost choked, turned his head to look at Yintang, "Oh, Brother Ninth, why are you hiding behind so silently, it's scary."

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen, "I don't think the Fourteenth Lord is bored, so why don't you come over and talk to you?"

Yinti listened to Yintang's yin and yang words, and smiled embarrassingly, "Hey, I know, it's all up to brother Jiu to do this. But," Yinti compared his thumb and index finger to Yintang, "I The flash of inspiration is also very important, you know, I have thought about this for a long time..."

……

Yinzhen's understanding of Yinzhen's thick skin has reached a new level.

Basically, the birthday party is more of a happy gathering of friends who are good friends. Now that Master Kang is not here, it is like Sun Dasheng has broken the spell and relaxed a bit.

So under the more and more lively atmosphere, Yinti - he got drunk again.
