Drunk Qingqiu

Chapter 28 Grace

Ever since the yellow figure of Daoming walked into Wuyi Zhai, Yinzhen began to beat the drum habitually in his heart.

Yinzhen asked himself that he studied everything the master said very seriously, even if the master didn't say he also read a lot.Since the Qing Dynasty, without any entertainment, reading can be said to be a good choice.What's more, there is someone around who you can ask at any time if you don't understand. It's just that this person has been teasing him about the last time he was drunk, which makes Yinzhen distressed in every possible way.

In any case, Yinzhen's progress is obvious.Apart from never composing poems, he can already write simple articles. Of course, because he is used to writing simple and straightforward, his master's evaluation of his articles is only above average.

Yinzhen recited the passages selected by Kangxi well, and had learned them a long time ago.The tenth elder brother Yinju was called up, but what Kangxi asked him was a longer article "Han Zi said it's difficult".Yinzhen frowned, even if he was asked to recite it, he would not be too fluent, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the old ten to recite it.

Several masters looked at each other, they also knew Yinji's background, they never made things difficult for him, this time it seems that Elder Brother Shi is definitely going to be reprimanded by Kangxi.

Yin Qu's face was confused for a while, as if he had thought of something, he began to recite.Yinzhen was still wondering how Yinzhen would respond, but after listening to the first few sentences, the black line on his forehead came down.This is not reciting, this is simply explaining in vernacular.

Then Yinzhen remembered that when he read this article, he thought it was very meaningful, at least it said some ways of dealing with people, which is what the domineering and carefree old ten Yinqi lacked.So he forced him to sit down, read a sentence by himself, and then explained it to him in vernacular. After finishing speaking, regardless of Yin Qu's impatience, he asked Yin Qu to repeat it-in vernacular, of course.

This time Yinzhen actually thought of Yinzhen's explanation, and recited the vernacular at that time.Although it is not the original text, the meaning is correct, and I have added my own extended insights in several places.When Yinbi finished reciting, several masters secretly nodded to you. Kangxi sat at the head, with a smile on his face, looked at Yinti and said: "Xiao Shi's recitation is somewhat interesting. Strictly speaking, not a single sentence is correct, but You can’t let people tell you that your explanation is wrong.”

Yinyu scratched her hair, lowered her head, and felt a little guilty: "It's my son's fault, because I haven't memorized the original text by heart, and my son will definitely recite it proficiently in the future."

"It's good to know that you're wrong, and it's hard for you. The explanation is not bad." Kangxi shook his head, changed his tone, and said, "But the way to learn is hard work, and you can't be sloppy or lazy. I read the articles 120 times first, and then memorized them 120 times. To this day, I can’t forget every word of the articles I have recited.”

"Huang Ama taught me that in the future, my ministers must be strict with themselves." Yin said respectfully.

The princes in Wuyi Zhai all looked at Kangxi with admiration in their eyes, and Yinzhen was surprised and admired in his heart. The erudition and talents of this sage emperor, as well as his profound cultivation of Han culture, all showed his hard work in the past.

Kangxi, head on your head, after all the elder brothers have recited it, I asked another question, which was about current affairs, "This time I personally conquered Galdan and defeated him. Now if Galdan sends a letter of surrender, If I let you handle it, what should you do?"

Yinzhen sat at the front, Kangxi looked at him first, he thought for a while, got up and replied: "If it is a minister, he may accept the letter of surrender, but he is required to pay taxes every year and come to court every year. Geer Dan is cunning, the letter of surrender may not be true, paying taxes every year is to wear down his strength."

Kangxi glanced at him, smiled at your head, this Xiaojiu, smart or clever, is still too gentle after all.

At this time, a villain stood up from behind, with a small face like white jade, and star-like eyes, it was the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang.He got up and said with a smile: "Ninth brother, this method is not good. If it is my way, let Galdan come to the capital in person, and then directly detain him, so as to eliminate future troubles."

Kangxi was quite relieved, let Yinxiang sit down, and asked other people's opinions.Standing up behind Yinxiang was a villain with a healthy wheat complexion, exquisite facial features, and a ghostly spirit all over his body.

"Oh? Yinzhen, what do you think?" Kangxi asked with a smile.

"Huang Ama, Ge Erdan is a treacherous villain who has repeatedly betrayed his promises. If he is a subject, attacking directly will be the only way to eliminate future troubles forever." Little Fourteen puffed out his small chest and said arrogantly.

Kangxi suddenly burst out laughing and asked Xiao Shisi to sit down.Although he didn't praise Xiao Shishi, he was obviously happy.After encouraging everyone, Kangxi asked everyone to go to the martial arts field.

Yinzhen looked at her legs that were still limping, and wondered in her heart whether she had escaped this time.

Kangxi watched the martial arts and riding and shooting of all the elder brothers again, and Yinzhen's luck indirectly turned into misfortune because he stood by Kangxi's side.Although Kangxi didn't express any opinions on his 'slenderness', Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat at that glance with a smile.

"Little ten, little thirteen, and little fourteen have made great progress in kung fu." Kangxi nodded while watching.

Yinzhen also secretly agreed in her heart, and thought that if she really went up and lost to these two little overlords, she would lose face.

When Kangxi finally announced the end, Yinzhen was almost happy and walked towards him without waiting for He Yuzhu to help him.

"Wait, Xiaojiu, it's inconvenient for you to walk, come with me, I'm just going to Yanxi Palace." Kangxi's voice came.

Yinzhen paused, but still turned around, and bowed: "My son, I thank Huang Ama."

Inside the huge chariot, everything is exquisite and luxurious.Kangxi was sitting not far from Yinzhen, and he could smell the faint fragrance of dragon birthday on his body.Due to the strong aura, Yinzhen sat in a well-behaved manner, not daring to move a little.

Suddenly, Yinzhen thought of something.The pawn shop was opened secretly by himself, and although the taxes were still paid, no government officials knew that it was his own property.There are still few businesses now, and if there are other businesses in the future, we can't keep hiding them.

Yinzhen secretly glanced at Kangxi who was reading with a book, thinking about what to say.

"Why, what's the matter with Xiaojiu?" Kangxi asked leisurely without even looking at him.

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, then stood up and knelt down, "I do have something to do."

Kangxi finally raised his head from the book, looked at him, and beckoned him to continue.

"Huang Ama, do you still remember that when my son was six years old, you promised him to do business?"

That pair of eyes that seemed to be shining brightly stared at him, and slowly, a smile appeared on Kangxi's face: "There is such a thing, Xiao Jiu told me about it today, has it already been planned?"

"Don't dare to lie to Huang Ama, my son has already tried to run a pawn shop. Although he only used his annual salary to raise some small capital, the operation is still good. So I want to ask Huang Ama to give my son a favor. My son wants to start doing business this year." Yinzhen who lowered his head to answer, didn't notice that Kangxi's eyes flickered a few times, but he didn't interrupt him.

"Well, since I promised you, I won't go back on my word, but Xiaojiu, you elder brother, how do you do business?" Kangxi's eyes smiled even deeper.

"Erchen will pay taxes like other ordinary merchants."

"Of course you have to pay, and I will ask you to pay more than others, are you willing?" Although Kangxi was a question, the meaning inside was extremely certain.

Yinzhen bowed again, "Huang Ama, what I said at the time was to accumulate wealth for Huang Ama, I dare not forget this sentence."

"However, I also have a proposal. I will pay taxes as usual, and the rest of the ministers will be directly handed over to Huang Ama instead of returning to the treasury. Because I have heard a saying that seven cents of the world's wealth can really go to the emperor's hands." It is already the part that has been exploited layer by layer. If the servants hand it over to you directly, you can use it in your name as you want." Yinzhen didn't dare to raise his head, because he didn't know if his proposal would be acceptable. Angry Kangxi.

"Xiao Jiu, why do I look at you who are usually the gentlest and quietest, but you are actually the smartest one." Kangxi clasped the table, and a laughing voice came over.

Yinzhen dripping sweat, the ones who make you look shrewd are the real shrewdness.

"I agree with your proposal. Tomorrow, I will send someone to send you a letter."

"My son, I thank the Emperor Ama."

When the two arrived at Yanxi Palace, Yinqi happened to be still there. After showing the ceremony to Kangxi, he saw Xiaojiu walking in and hurriedly reached out to help him.

Concubine Yi greeted her with a smile, and talked with Kangxi.Yinzhen came to pay his respects, and Concubine Yi put her fingers on his forehead.

"Look at him like this, the emperor, you still praised me that he is sensible and safe. No, he sneaked out of the palace a few days ago and came back with a broken leg."

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, "After all, he's still a half-grown child, so don't be too obsessed with him. Think back then, when you first entered the palace, didn't you also have the kind of jumping-off temperament?"

Concubine Yi seemed to have thought of something, she pursed her lips into a smile, and looked at Kangxi with a flushed face.

After Yinqi and Yinzhen saw it, they hurriedly got up and found an excuse to resign, leaving the world of two to their parents.

Yinqi helped Yinzhen go to elder brother's place.

Now Yinzhen dares to presumptuously flirt with you in front of his fifth elder brother, and simply hangs himself on Yinqi's body in a big way. Thinking of the business license he finally obtained, he feels extremely happy.

"What on earth have you been giggling about?" Yin Qi finally couldn't help asking.

"Go, I'm not smirking. Brother, Huang Ama is going to give me a letter of permission to do business. In the future, we can expand the scale of business."

Yinqi was dumb, it turned out that it was because of this, he reached out and patted Yinzhen, "Just as long as you are happy."

The eunuch Liang Jiugong personally delivered Kangxi's letter the next day. Yinzhen took it, thought about it, and went back to the back room to take out an envelope, asking Liang Jiugong to hand it over to Kangxi.

Yinzhen looked at He Yuzhu next to him, and He Yuzhu immediately stuffed a piece of silver into Liang Jiugong's hand, saying that he had worked hard for his father-in-law.Liang Jiugong thanked Yinzhen with a smile, he was not even polite, so he went back to report.

The envelope contained 5000 taels of silver bills, and Yinzhen calculated the income of the pawnshop by himself, and decided to hand over a quarter of it.

Whether the money went into Kangxi's private account or the national treasury, Yinzhen didn't know.But in October of this year, Emperor Kangxi commended Fei Yanggu's soldiers for their hard work, and sent officials to the front of the army with 5000 taels of silver.
