Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 54 One day and one night outside the palace

"Put this green one up," 24 said.

"Yes. This hairpin costs 100 taels. Do you give it to the family or take it away yourself?" asked the man.

"Just give it to me." 24 fumbled for a while from his sleeve and took out a small purse, opened the purse, took two silver bills, and handed them to the clerk.

"Fourth brother was thinking about paying you silver. It turns out that 24 is a rich master." Prince Yong had been waiting by the side early in the morning, and wanted to pay 24 silver, but was surprised by 24's hand. arrive.

"Fourth brother is making fun of my younger brother. I too...Ama gave it to me before...going out, saying that I bought something to make my mother happy." 24 rubbed his head in embarrassment, because he was not yet five years old. Therefore, I haven't shaved my hair yet, and I can feel the thick hair when I touch it.

The thing is like this, Kangxi saw 24 when he entered Yongshou Palace yesterday, and quietly beckoned and handed him a purse, seeing Kangxi's quiet appearance 24 didn't make a sound.

After having dinner with Kangxi and Chen Xiuming, I took 25 back to the house and asked everyone to leave before I quietly opened my purse, and found a stack of bank notes and a note inside.

After reading the note 24, I understand the purpose of Kangxi giving this purse. He should look at some jewelry when he goes out of the palace. The money is for him and 25 to go out and have fun. As long as he comes back, he will make some jewelry for Chen Xiuming to make her happy. The money belongs to the two brothers.

24 After seeing the words written on the note, I was speechless. Wouldn't Kangxi bring a gift for Erniang after taking the money?It is really necessary to ask him so specifically...

Speechless, 24 is still very careful when choosing things. Chen Xiuming has always been used to blue and green clothes, and most of the jewelry is like this.

I bought a lot of things, besides Chen Xiuming's, I also bought a few things for Kangxi, after all, it was his money, after buying good things to please Kangxi, I am afraid that I will run out of money after leaving the palace.

24 is also a person who understands the long-term benefits of development, and bought a few writing brushes for Prince Yong. Although they are not the best, they are still usable.Of course, the writing brush 24 was not given to Prince Yong directly, but was privately given to Prince Yong Fujin when he returned to Prince Yong's mansion during dinner, and asked her to hand it over to Prince Yong.

Prince Yiyong's temperament would definitely not allow him to accept things from his younger brother, so 24 had no choice but to do so.

In addition to 24 shopping in shops, 25 also saw a lot of things, and finally stopped in front of a small shop.

"Why, are you tired?" 24 is full of energy, and his body is also strong, but he doesn't feel any discomfort. 25 is weaker and younger, and he is tired now, which is beyond 24's estimate.

"No, it's just..." 25 looked at the things in the small shop and was a little embarrassed to say it.

"This shop has been open in the capital for a long time. I bought all the gadgets I brought you from here. Go in and see what you like and take it back with you." Prince Yong looked at 25 and blushed shyly. face, said proactively.

"Okay." 25 this time pulled 24 straight into the shop.

There was an old man sitting behind the counter in the shop. Hearing the noise, the old man squinted his eyes and said, "Guests, please take a look. There are not many small things sold in this shop, and the goods are all placed outside."

The old man didn't move and his voice was hoarse, and he looked about sixty or seventy years old, so he raised his head to talk to the old man out of curiosity.

Although the shop is small, there are many gadgets hanging there. Many of these things have been seen by 25, and there are a few things that I have never seen, such as a brightly colored starling placed on a high place.

The little eunuch following behind stretched out his hand with a good look and took the mynah off and gave it to 25. 25 held the mynah and looked at it carefully.

This starling is made of wood, and the workmanship is extremely meticulous. The gorgeous feathers on the body are also painted with excellent paint. Gently poking the starling's mouth, I found that the mouth can move.

The old man over there who was talking to 24 said, "This mynah can move, bring it here and let me do it for you."

25 turned his head when he heard the words, and walked over with my starling in his arms.

Prince Yong put the mynah on the counter, and the old man took the mynah and turned it upside down. After a few fiddles, the myna spread its wings and flapped it slowly.

The starling was placed on the counter, standing straight and flapping its wings as if it was about to leave the counter under its feet, but it just fanned out a little cool breeze without moving.

"Can't this mynah fly?" 24 asked with a frown. If he can flap his wings, he might be able to fly. It would be even better if he could fly.

"Hahaha, old man, I'm not very good at crafting. This starling can make fans. If the craft is better, maybe I can make a starling that can fly." The old man said with a smile.

24 didn't ask any more questions, this time Prince Yong paid the money and took the people away.

After they left, the old man stood up and walked into the inner courtyard, where a young man was sitting inside, slowly cutting a piece of wood with a knife.

"Going away?" the man asked the old man without looking back.

"Yes, it's already gone. 25 also took the starling away." At this time, the old man's voice changed a bit, it was no longer so hoarse and unpleasant, but with a sense of calmness.

"Oh, just take it away. I don't know what that master wants to do, let us send this thing in like this." The man stopped what he was doing, reached out for the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Don't ask questions and talk less about what you think. I quickly packed up my things and went back. Maybe I still want to be a carpenter here."

He put down the teacup and entered the house without saying anything, presumably he was packing up his things, then the man walked all the way out of the city and finally disappeared into the forest.

"It's getting late, should we eat dinner outside or go back to my house?" Prince Yong asked, guessing that his two younger brothers were also hungry.

"Go to the fourth brother's house." He rushed to answer while holding 25, who was hugged by the guards.

The bunny dim sum I ate at Prince Yong's Mansion was very good, so 25 thought that the food should also be delicious, so he said that he was going to Prince Yong's Mansion for dinner, and he wanted to eat outside.

"Okay." Sure enough, the dim sum was right, otherwise these two would not have gone back to have dinner so easily.

After walking for a while, 24 also felt tired, so he was hugged into the arms of the guards. 24 felt a little undignified, but he compromised under Prince Yong's cold face, and he didn't feel so tired after being hugged for a while. So he accepted such an undignified action.

Before, Prince Yong asked someone to go back and inform them to make dinner, so as not to wait too late to go back. Chen Xiuming and Kangxi were always worried that they would remember it, and when they arrived in the mansion, they wiped their faces and rested for a while, and then it was time for dinner.

"I don't know if you like these dishes or not. If you don't like them, let the kitchen cook them again." Prince Yong Fujin said with a smile.

"There's nothing you don't like. Eat less of the dishes you don't like and eat more of the ones you like. If you change them, you'll waste the dishes on this table." 24 said unceremoniously.

Prince Yong didn't say anything, and after lifting the chopsticks, all the voices fell silent, and the eunuchs serving the dishes finished the dinner for the four of them.

24 and 25 were seven percent full every time they ate, even if there was no familiar waiter, they stopped eating when they felt moderately full, and waited for Prince Yong to stop their chopsticks before getting off the table.

They all wiped their mouths with handkerchiefs, rinsed their mouths with tea, and Prince Yong walked with 24 and 25 to digest food. There was nothing to see in the front yard, it was just some pools and trees, and the back yard was not accessible, so they walked under the veranda. with.

It was estimated that it was almost time for Prince Yong to return to the main hall with the two of them. At this time, the snacks and tea after dinner were also served.

24 and 25 The cups contained milk similar to that of Yongshou Palace. Prince Yong had heard what Chen Xiuming had said before, and ordered the people below to try it when he came back.

"Sure enough, fourth brother's dim sum here is different from that in the palace. The food here is as delicious as the one he ate in the morning." Prince Yong had never brought him into the palace before.

"But fourth brother, don't give me the recipe. If I give it to my mother, I'm afraid I'm too greedy. I'll just eat at fourth brother's place." 24 still doesn't want to do it.

Prince Yong raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. He just hid the smile on his lips by drinking tea. The imperial concubine is really good at disciplining this child. She is pure, courteous and understands people's hearts.

25 rolled his eyes after listening to what 24 said several times. Brother 24 is going back to please Er Niang to exchange things. It seems that I have to work hard, but I didn’t buy anything. I don’t know Er Niang Do you like starlings who can fan the wind...

After eating snacks, 24 and 25 sat for a long time before they were sent back to the palace by Prince Yong, who said that it was too dark in the morning. It was fortunate that they had dinner earlier, otherwise they would have to stay later.

At the gate of the palace, Wei Zhu also waited for a long time before seeing the carriage coming from Prince Yong's mansion.

"The servant has met Prince Yong, brother 24, brother 25." Wei Zhu was relieved to see Prince Yong carrying the two masters off the carriage.

"Get up, it's getting late and I'm going back first." Prince Yong said and got into the carriage.

"Four brothers walk slowly"

"Congratulations to the lord."

Seeing Prince Yong's carriage going away, Wei Zhu immediately invited the two elder brothers into the sedan chair, and ordered the eunuchs who carried the sedan chair to walk steadily, all the way to Yongshou Palace.

In the Yongshou Palace, Kangxi and Chen Xiuming hadn't washed yet, waiting for Wei Zhu to bring the two little elder brothers back.

Listening to the announcement of youth waiting outside, the two also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly let the two little elder brothers come in.
