Imperial Concubine Tong Jia knew that her son was thin-skinned and couldn't laugh in front of him, but Yinzhen's stern face pretending to be old-fashioned made people couldn't help laughing, so she had to hold back her smile while asking the imperial doctor to come, "Be good, Zhener, come and let me see you." Mother-in-law, take a look."
Replacing teeth is a major event, and you need to pay attention to your diet. It doesn't matter if the baby teeth are broken, but the teeth can't be broken after changing. You have to let Yinzhen Gu, who takes care of you, to provide more snacks.
These days, give the fourth elder brother light meals, and don’t eat too many sweet snacks. After this period of time, it will look good if you grow a mouthful of neat little white teeth.
Their fourth elder brother looks handsome, and when he grows up, he will definitely be a guy who makes girls blush.
Yinzhen tried hard to maintain his expression, and his face was still flushed when he heard their mother-in-law telling the nanny, so he turned to Yinqi with stiff hands and feet, trying to comfort his shameful heart with his ignorant and innocent brother.
It's just a tooth change, it's a small problem, Yinqi will also change teeth in the future, everyone has to go through it, there's nothing to panic about.
The little guy stood on the roof and looked at his brother, his big black eyes were full of curiosity, and he didn't dislike that he couldn't speak clearly. "Brother, brother" kept yelling, and waved his arms to be hugged by his brother.
There was bloodshed all over the place.
Yinzhen:……
Why does it feel like the little one is happy?Is it an illusion?
The imperial doctor came over quickly, cleaned his hands and showed the fourth elder brother who was entering the tooth replacement period. The doctor's order was the same as the imperial concubine's order just now, as long as you pay attention to your diet, you don't even need to take medicine.
The imperial concubine Tong Jia was talking to the imperial physician, Yin Qi looked around, asked the nanny to put him on the ground, then staggered on her brother with her short legs, hugged her leg and looked up with a bright smile, "Brother Gege pot pot..."
The little guy had never spoken so fast before, and he dared to talk nonsense with his older brother slurring his speech. For a while, the hall was full of his babyish voice, "cluck, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!" I can't figure out what I'm shouting about.
The corners of Yinzhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he hugged his over-excited younger brother back on the bed, pinched his fair and tender face, and said seriously, "I don't respect laughing so hard."
……
He shouldn't have spoken!
Yin Qi laughed even happier, babbling and babbling, but couldn't stop "clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, wacking, babbling", joyful like a bird just out of the cage.
Come on, hurt each other, everything is super boring.
After the imperial concubine finished talking with the imperial physician, it was almost time for dinner, she walked over to separate the two children, her stomach ached from laughing, "It's time to eat, stop playing."
Yinzhen couldn't do anything about being entangled by the little guy, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what their mother's mother had said, and without a word, turned inside and ran to sit down at the dining table.
He is the elder brother, and Yin Qi is the younger brother. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. After a few years, Yin Qi grows up and starts to change his teeth. Let's see how he laughs at him.
The food was served quickly. In addition to the food delivered by the imperial dining room, there was also a small kitchen that made egg custard for the two little elder brothers. Yin Qi stopped drinking milk after he could eat serious meals. The small kitchen can eat egg custard every time. Small half bowl.
The little guy loves to be clean, so he can’t hold the spoon by himself, so he just sits there obediently waiting for his mother to feed him, his cheeks move like a little hamster, he only opens his mouth to ask for a spoonful after eating a bite, and the bib around his neck is still intact after eating half a bowl of custard. Same as when it was first attached.
All pay attention to it.
The mother and son had eaten, and the sky was getting dark. Yinqi was taken to rest by the nanny, and Yinzhen was about to go back to the elder brother's place. The fourth elder brother walked to the door, looked at the gorgeous sunset in the sky, slapped his head and turned again went back.
He was only interested in playing with the little guy, and forgot about the business.
Leisurely after dinner, Tong Jia, the imperial concubine, was pruning flowers and branches with small scissors, she was a little surprised to see Yinzhen go and come back, "Why are you back again?"
"Erliang, the second uncle has already promised the prince that the second brother will take the goose and the third brother out to play, can the goose go?" Yinzhen blinked, looked at the doubtful imperial concubine, and tried to speak clearly , It's just that the tooth that fell out happened to be the front tooth, no matter how hard I tried, the air would still be leaking.
The imperial concubine put down the small scissors, thought for a while and sighed, "Since your second uncle agrees, Er Niang won't stop you, the outside is no different than inside the palace, you have to be obedient when you go out, you understand?"
To be honest, she is a little worried, but Prince Yu has already agreed, so she can't say anything, brothers will always go out of the palace in the future, it is not a bad thing to go out with the elders now, the eldest brother was also seven or eight years old and wanted to go out of the palace played.
Nalan Mingzhu's son, Cheng De, was a bodyguard by the emperor's side. From time to time, he went with Kangxi to teach the crown prince and elder brother how to ride and shoot. Nalan Mingzhu's father and Concubine Hui's grandfather were brothers, and when it came to seniority, the eldest elder brother wanted to call Cheng De uncle.
One is Nalan Chengde and the other is Cao Yin. These two young talents are both subordinates and friends of Kangxi. They are most trusted by him on weekdays.
Tong Jia's family also had young people walking in front of the imperial court, but they were not of the right age, but if Fan Longkodo was more stable, she wouldn't bother so much.
The son is so young, so he should be instructed. It is inevitable that there will be omissions when Prince Yu brings three children by himself. If it is possible, let Long Kedo accompany him.
Listening to Eniang's words, Yinzhen's eyes flickered and he had some new ideas.
It’s not enough to find only one, of course, you need to find more. You can’t just find honest people for things like spending money and being scolded. He thinks Longkodo is very good.
During the emperor's southern tour, the most important documents would be sent to him for personal approval. The role of Prince Yu Fuquan was to sit in the capital.
The nephews wanted to go out of the palace. As an uncle, he must of course fulfill their wishes. After greeting the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he picked a day for rest and took the nephews out of the Forbidden City.
The prince is a mature, prudent and decent prince who doesn't show his anger or joy on his face. Yin Zhi looked left and right in the carriage and lifted the curtain to see, as if a nail was placed under his buttocks, and he couldn't calm down for a while.
The corners of Fuquan's mouth were raised slightly, and he seemed to be friendly and easy-going, but in fact he was even more friendly and friendly than he looked. Seeing that he was more stable than the third elder brother, Yinzhen asked, "Why is the fourth elder brother so quiet?"
Yinzhen pursed his lips, and before he could speak, the crown prince explained to him first, "Second uncle, don't blame me, the fourth brother lost his front teeth two days ago, and now his words are leaking hahahahaha."
"Second brother!" Yin Zhen glared at him, his eyes were round and round, fierce and without any deterrent force.
Fuquan coughed to cover up his laughter, and Pai Pai, who was exposed by his father, comforted the fourth elder brother, "It's a good thing to change teeth, which means that our fourth elder brother has grown up. The same is true when your brothers change teeth. They will grow out soon, so don't be shy."
The crown prince followed suit, showing his small white teeth with a smile, "Second uncle said it was right, look at the fourth brother, how good-looking the second brother's teeth are."
"And me, look at the fourth brother, the third brother's front teeth will look good when they grow out." Yinzhi let go of the curtain, imitating the crown prince, revealing that he has not yet erupted all his teeth. He does have other deciduous teeth that are falling out, but his front teeth have already erupted Yes, it can be a good example for the fourth brother.
Yinzhen's face was flushed with anger, and he wasn't a good horse, so what kind of teeth could he compare? !
You can't live too far!Can't live too far!Can't live too far!
Annoying!
There was constant laughter in the carriage, and when they got out of the imperial city, Longkodo was waiting there with a few servants, and when he saw them appearing, he hurriedly threw and chewed grass stalks to salute.
Tong Jia's family is a large family in Liaodong, one of the eight major surnames in Manchuria, and has many marriages with the clan. It has given birth to empress dowagers, empresses, and imperial concubines. As the emperor's mother's family, it is very favored by Kangxi.
Long Kedo is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, and he can tell at a glance that he is the proud son of the noble family. He is not afraid to meet Prince Yu and the prince, but he is a little curious about the third and fourth elder brothers.
The inner city is safe, the guards changed into casual clothes and guarded the surroundings, Fuquan led the way, holding Yinzhi and Yinzhen in each hand, and introduced the shops here.
The prince looked at Yinzhen with a puffy face and said nothing with great interest, and wanted to know how this man felt when he saw Longkodo when he was young.
This is the great hero who promoted the fourth son of their family to succeed him. As a result, within a few years, he was imprisoned for more than 40 crimes, and finally ended up imprisoned and died. Oh, hey, this fate is quite similar to him.
Yinzhen walked beside Fuquan expressionlessly, turning a blind eye to the prince's eyes, and just followed the second uncle's introduction to look at the shops on the street.
Living in the inner city is either rich or expensive, so it is not easy to open a store here. The appearance of the houses on the street is the same. Only by seeing the signs can you know what the store sells.
In this way, the shop with its unique decoration compared to other shops is very eye-catching.
Longkodo followed his line of sight, shrugged and said, "Do you think that shop is weird? It's a shop run by a foreigner, so it's just weird."
Yinzhen tilted his head, although he didn't speak, but his eyes were full of curiosity. Seeing Longkodo raised his head, proud like a big rooster showing off his feathers, he explained as he walked, "Si elder brother didn't know something. There are missionaries, and foreigners who come here to do business here, those foreigners are treacherous, and they come to the capital to steal money."
As soon as I heard this, I knew that I must have been tricked.
Long Kedo loves and hates that shop with a lot of western gadgets, and he can't help complaining as he talks. He is the son of Tong Jia's son and the younger brother of the imperial concubine, but high status does not mean rich , especially for young people who have not started serious business affairs, their expenses are all collected from their families. There is only so much money in a month, and it will be gone after spending.
Gentiles are treacherous, so big and expensive Western clocks are fine, and a small enamel pocket watch can sell for tens of thousands of taels, so you can't cheat people like this.
Fuquan shook his head helplessly, "They came all the way here to make money, of course, the imperial court's attitude towards missionaries was there a few years ago, and foreigners with their heads on their waistbands were worried all day long, so naturally they would not Cheap."
"Second Uncle, there is a foreigner paying tribute to the binoculars at Khan Amma's place. Are there any expensive things for sale in the shop?" The prince pretended to be curious, obviously he was also curious about this western shop.
Fuquan looked a little complicated, "Of course there is, but the price of the telescope is too high, no matter how rich people are, they won't spend a few 10 taels of silver to buy that thing."
"How many 10 taels?!"
When the price was quoted, including Prince Yinzhen, the people around were all dumbfounded.
What baby is this?
It can't be so expensive to make it from pure gold!
Yin Zhi only felt that the money was so much that he couldn't count it with both hands and feet. He didn't have a deep understanding of this price, but the people next to him understood what a few hundred thousand taels really meant.
It may not be clear just to say the amount of silver. To put it another way, take the second uncle as an example. He is a prince, the emperor's brother, and concurrently serves as a minister of state affairs. His annual salary is only 1 taels of silver.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qing wants to buy a telescope. It takes decades to save enough money without eating or drinking. Are you kidding me?
Prince Yu's words can be said to have exploded. Without the guidance of the prince and Yinzhen, Long Kedo couldn't help but questioned, "How dare they make an offer for a few hundred thousand taels of silver! Our Qing Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources. Can't make a telescope?"
Fuquan patted Longkodo on the shoulder, thinking that young people are still too naive after all, "If the Qing Dynasty can make them, can those Western gadgets still be sold so expensive?"
There are quite a few capable missionaries among the missionaries. The merchants are different. They do reselling work. They don’t even know how the telescope works, but even if they know, they probably won’t reveal it. Not worth the money anymore.
Leaving aside the internal structure of the telescope, they can't make it with only the glazed pieces at both ends.
A few years ago, there was a Sun Yunqiu in the south of the Yangtze River. He used crystals to make lenses and made glasses that could alleviate eye diseases. I heard that he had also made telescopes similar to binoculars. Unfortunately, Sun Yunqiu died young and only left behind This "Mirror History" ordered Shifang to manufacture glasses according to the law, but the telescope still could not be manufactured.
The prince nodded thoughtfully, "Second Uncle, there are official kilns in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there are so many people in the official kilns, there must be the next Sun Yunqiu. We build the binoculars ourselves and don't spend money on foreigners."
"You, Khan Ama, have the same idea, but things have happened one after another over the years, and I have to wait a few more years to make the telescope myself." Fuquan sighed. The Ministry of Internal Affairs does have an official kiln. Cups, plates, and bowls can also be made with colored glaze, but these things are all made by burning money, and making new things is even more costly, and they can't afford this money now.
Four or five years have passed since the earthquake in the 18th year of Kangxi, and the capital suffered heavy losses. Seven out of ten palaces and houses within [-] miles of the capital were destroyed by the earthquake.
Disaster relief requires money, comfort to the people requires money, and house repairs require money. The imperial court did not have much money, and it was directly emptied after the earthquake. For silver, the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't even allocate money. It is not easy for the court to maintain its income and expenditure. How can it have the energy to manage what can be burned in the official kiln.
The crown prince nodded silently, because the imperial court was short of money, so he had to find a way to increase income. The imperial court is poor, but there are so many wealthy households in the world who are not poor. They can use money to exchange for comfortable living, and those rich people will rush to give money .
Disaster relief and people need money, and war also needs money. The old man has not won the battle yet, so we have to work hard to make money, brothers!
A rich country is the foundation of a strong army. The imperial court has no money, and no matter how powerful the army is, it can be supported and destroyed. Now the flag soldiers have not degenerated to the level of later generations, so we have to find a way to get them back from the root.
What the Qing Dynasty needed was a teacher who could expand the territory and calm down the world's tigers and wolves, not a man who was fighting cocks and walking dogs.
All in all, make money first, and making money must be on the agenda.
Yinzhen Yinzhi was young, so he had no impression of the earthquake that lasted intermittently for more than a year in the 18th year of Kangxi. The prince had already remembered at that time, and he still remembered that he hurriedly moved to Jingshan to seek refuge in embarrassment.
The street is not a place to talk, Fuquan couldn't stop his chatterbox, he took a few children to find a restaurant and asked for a private room, let Yinzhi and Yinzhen sit down obediently, and then told them the importance of thrift and thrift.
Children should be educated from an early age, and arrogance and lust must never be tolerated.
Aixinjue Luo's chatterbox is probably in the same line. Prince Yu is an easy-going person, and his chatter is even worse than that of Kangxi.
Holding the teacup in a daze, the prince wanted to make Fuquan take advantage of that proposal and beat him with a sack, but he shivered and decided never to go out with the second uncle again.
Is he the woodpecker reincarnated?
How can you chatter so much? !
Replacing teeth is a major event, and you need to pay attention to your diet. It doesn't matter if the baby teeth are broken, but the teeth can't be broken after changing. You have to let Yinzhen Gu, who takes care of you, to provide more snacks.

It's just a tooth change, it's a small problem, Yinqi will also change teeth in the future, everyone has to go through it, there's nothing to panic about.
The little guy stood on the roof and looked at his brother, his big black eyes were full of curiosity, and he didn't dislike that he couldn't speak clearly. "Brother, brother" kept yelling, and waved his arms to be hugged by his brother.
There was bloodshed all over the place.
Yinzhen:……

The little guy had never spoken so fast before, and he dared to talk nonsense with his older brother slurring his speech. For a while, the hall was full of his babyish voice, "cluck, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!" I can't figure out what I'm shouting about.
The corners of Yinzhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he hugged his over-excited younger brother back on the bed, pinched his fair and tender face, and said seriously, "I don't respect laughing so hard."
……
He shouldn't have spoken!
Yin Qi laughed even happier, babbling and babbling, but couldn't stop "clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, clucking, wacking, babbling", joyful like a bird just out of the cage.
Come on, hurt each other, everything is super boring.

Four or five years have passed since the earthquake in the 18th year of Kangxi, and the capital suffered heavy losses. Seven out of ten palaces and houses within [-] miles of the capital were destroyed by the earthquake.
Disaster relief requires money, comfort to the people requires money, and house repairs require money. The imperial court did not have much money, and it was directly emptied after the earthquake. For silver, the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't even allocate money. It is not easy for the court to maintain its income and expenditure. How can it have the energy to manage what can be burned in the official kiln.
The crown prince nodded silently, because the imperial court was short of money, so he had to find a way to increase income. The imperial court is poor, but there are so many wealthy households in the world who are not poor. They can use money to exchange for comfortable living, and those rich people will rush to give money .
Disaster relief and people need money, and war also needs money. The old man has not won the battle yet, so we have to work hard to make money, brothers!
A rich country is the foundation of a strong army. The imperial court has no money, and no matter how powerful the army is, it can be supported and destroyed. Now the flag soldiers have not degenerated to the level of later generations, so we have to find a way to get them back from the root.
What the Qing Dynasty needed was a teacher who could expand the territory and calm down the world's tigers and wolves, not a man who was fighting cocks and walking dogs.
All in all, make money first, and making money must be on the agenda.
Yinzhen Yinzhi was young, so he had no impression of the earthquake that lasted intermittently for more than a year in the 18th year of Kangxi. The prince had already remembered at that time, and he still remembered that he hurriedly moved to Jingshan to seek refuge in embarrassment.
The street is not a place to talk, Fuquan couldn't stop his chatterbox, he took a few children to find a restaurant and asked for a private room, let Yinzhi and Yinzhen sit down obediently, and then told them the importance of thrift and thrift.
Children should be educated from an early age, and arrogance and lust must never be tolerated.
Aixinjue Luo's chatterbox is probably in the same line. Prince Yu is an easy-going person, and his chatter is even worse than that of Kangxi.
Holding the teacup in a daze, the prince wanted to make Fuquan take advantage of that proposal and beat him with a sack, but he shivered and decided never to go out with the second uncle again.
Is he the woodpecker reincarnated?
How can you chatter so much? !
