The housekeeper of Prince Cheng's mansion hurried, and finally found a person who was quite good at guessing lantern riddles from among the prince's guests.

"I've seen the prince! Xiao Shengnai"

Prince Cheng was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so he kept urging him: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter who you are, the important thing is that you quickly guess the riddle, have you seen the lantern on the top? Get it, and your future will be fine." It's here!"

The scholar didn't talk nonsense, so he guessed right away. I have to say that this kind of thing still needs to be done professionally. He guessed all the way to No. 17 questions before he got stuck.

But the grandfather and grandson, who were supposed to go to the private room of the restaurant, met a familiar figure. Zhao Zhao was small but sharp-eyed, and he spotted Lao Jiu wandering by the door at a glance.

"Mafa! Look quickly! It's Uncle Jiu!"

Kangxi squinted his eyes and looked over, only to see the old Jiu Yinzhen, who was dressed in jewels and jewels, surrounded by a group of all kinds of scholars.

He frowned, feeling in his heart that Lao Jiu was worthless, and he knew to hang out with some dubious people all day long.

"Leave him alone, let's go up and sit down and wait for your third uncle to bring you a lamp."

At this moment, Lao Jiu seemed to feel something, raised his head, and happened to meet Zhao Zhao who was being held by the chief guard.

Zhao Zhao also showed him a sweet smile and waved his little hand.

Yinzhen trembled all over, and suddenly said to himself with a sad face: "Why is this little guy here? It seems that he came with the old man!"

"Jiu Ye? What are you talking about?" asked the businessmen surrounding him.

Naturally, Yinzhen would not be so stupid as to reveal the old man's whereabouts to these people, so he smiled and dealt with it a few words, then quickly followed up to the second floor with his hem lifted.

All the private rooms on the second floor were closed, and for a moment he couldn't tell where the old man was with the little guy, so he found a clerk and spent some money to find out the news.

"Can you see an old man in his 70s or [-]s? There is also a little boy who is about two years old with him. Which private room are they sitting in?"

The guy took the benefit, so he naturally didn't hide it at all. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered it.

"There is such a group of people, and the little boy is particularly cute, so the villain is quite impressive, you follow the villain to this way!"

When Yinzhen walked to the corner, he saw the guard standing at the door, so he knew that the old man was right, so he waved the guy away, adjusted his clothes a little, and thought to himself: at this time, It was an excellent time for him to step forward and express himself.

The two guards that Kangxi brought out today were newcomers, seeing Yinzhen's face, they stopped him.

"Who is coming?"

Yinzhen blushed, swallowed her anger and said, "Presumptuous! I'm the old man's own son, and I'm at home, so don't let me in!"

The two guards looked at each other and shook their heads slightly, expressing that they had never seen this person before them.

"Please wait here for a moment, before I allow the slave to ask the master for instructions."

Yinzhen said a little irritably: "Go, go! Hurry up!" He wanted to show his performance, but who would have thought that these two little guards would stumble at the door!unlucky!

At this moment, Prince Sancheng Yinzhi ran up with an exquisite lantern, just in time to see the distressed look of Lao Jiu walking around the door, and after a little thought, he knew that he was stopped by someone , What a shame, Huang Ama doesn't want to see him, even the guards dare to throw his face on the ground and step on it.

"Oh! Isn't this Yinzhen? What are you looking for on the ground? What treasure did you lose? Do you want third brother to find someone to help you find it together?" Yinzhi turned a corner and taunted him.

Yinzhen scratched her head in embarrassment.

"Third brother, why are you here?"

Yinzhen didn't mention at all that he was called to win the lantern for his little nephew by guessing riddles.

"Oh, the old man asked Liang Jiugong to call me from the house, and wanted me to accompany him to the Lantern Festival."

Yinzhi's words are half-truth and half-false, and Yinzhen can't tell the difference, he just feels that he is uncomfortable here, the old man specially called him to accompany him, but he came here by himself. Next, Yinzhen really felt ashamed and flustered.

"Then you look for it slowly, third brother, I will go in first, lest the old man wait too long."

After all, the youngest Yinzhi walked in swaggeringly without being blocked.

"Ama, my son is lucky!" Yinzhi raised the handle of the lantern above his head with both hands.

"Thank you for your hard work, get up." After Kangxi called out, he smiled and signaled to the little guy beside him.

"Why don't you thank your third uncle for giving you the lantern after all the hard work."

Only then did Zhao Zhao laugh and slipped from the chair to the ground, and ran over.

"Hehehe~ Zhaozhao's lantern! Thank you, Uncle San!"

The third child handed the lantern to the little guy in front of him who was less than half his height, and touched his little head.

"Take it."

"By the way, master, when my son came in just now, I saw Lao Jiu was also outside the door, why don't you call him in?"

Kangxi, who was feeding Zhaozhao just now, glanced at the guard who had been in for a while.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Sir, there is indeed a man outside the door claiming to be your son, and he also said he is the ninth son in the family. Since the slave has never seen him, he came here specifically to ask the master."

"Okay, I know everything, let him in."

The guard then went to the door and let the man in.

"My son just saw Ama's figure downstairs, so he wanted to say hello to Ama. He never thought that Ama was already accompanied by his third brother."

Kangxi looked at Zhaozhao happy, and he was also in a good mood. It was rare for him to explain a few words to Lao Jiu himself.

"Zhaozhao wanted this lantern on the stall downstairs. I thought that among you brothers, the youngest was the most proficient in poetry and books, so I asked Liang Jiugong to call him over to help."

Old Nine Yinzhen laughed.

"So it was for my little nephew. I really thought the third brother was here to accompany the driver."

Yinzhi's face, who was exposed face to face, also turned blue and purple. It was so ugly that he was ridiculed by the most underappreciated old nine. What a shame!

Kangxi suddenly continued to say to Lao Jiu Yinzhen: "It just so happens that you are the most familiar with these entertainment places in Beijing, so let's take Zhaozhao for a stroll tonight. He is so old, he hasn't been to the streets yet."

This time it was Yinzhi's turn to smile.

"Both of us are Zhao Zhao's elders. Isn't it natural to take care of our little nephew? Isn't that right, Lao Jiu?"

Yintang smiled and said: "Ama, don't worry, my son will take you and my little nephew to visit the interesting places in Beijing."

"Okay, okay! Let's go shopping~" Zhao Zhao happily ran around the room.

"Third brother, I'll take Ama and leave first, and you should go back to the house earlier." Yinzhen was a little arrogant.

Yinzhi just wanted to say that he could go with him, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the old man say: "Well, yes, Yinzhi, you should go back first, I just heard Liang Jiugong say that your family is having dinner, you should go earlier Let's go back."

"Yes, that son... I'll go back first." Yinzhi walked away with three points of reluctance, five points of jealousy, and two points of disdain for Lao Jiu in his eyes.

With the old man and a milk baby, there are many places where they can't go, so Lao Jiu Yinzhen can only lead them to go shopping, eat and play, and antiques.

"Marfa! This looks delicious~"

Zhao Zhao is a snack foodie, every time he sees a new food, he blinks his big smart eyes, begging him to buy it and taste it, but the old man also loves to indulge him.

"Okay, eat! Buy!" Kangxi waved his hand, and there was no one who refused.

But Zhaozhao is used to eating things made by the royal chef in the palace, so he just tastes these ordinary snacks to satisfy his curiosity, what to do if he can't finish them, he can't throw them away.

So Yinzhen not only had to pay for the money, but also had to help carry things, all kinds of leftovers from Zhao Zhao's food.

Yinzhen, who couldn't carry it, had no choice but to change his strategy, otherwise, if he continued shopping, he didn't know how much more food he would have to carry in his hand.

"Zhao Zhao! Don't you like treasures? There is an antique street near here, which specializes in selling all kinds of treasures. Why don't you go shopping yourself?"

As soon as Zhao Zhao heard the word baby, his eyes turned green.

"Okay, okay! Zhao Zhao is going to go treasure hunting~"

Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen.

"Zhao Zhao is still young, so you are not afraid that he will be deceived by others?"

Yinzhen said with a complacent smile: "Isn't there still you here? With your eyesight, Ama, who of them has the ability to deceive you, isn't it? Isn't this Guan Gong wielding a big sword in front of him?"

Kangxi snorted coldly and stopped talking to him. He is getting older now, and his eyesight is not as good as before. When Lao Jiu mentioned this matter, he was really as unlovable as ever.

"Zhao Zhao, come on, Mafa will lead you away. If there is anything you like, I will ask your ninth uncle to pay you. He is the one who brought our grandpa and grandson here."

"No! Ama! It's not like this!"

"What? You can't bear it? Spend a little money for your little nephew, and you start to get angry? Why are you so generous when you spend money for the old man?" Kangxi gave him a warning look.

Lao Jiu Yinzhen swallowed nervously, it turned out that the old man knew it all.

"I'm willing! I'm willing! Zhao Zhao, you can take whatever you like! I'll cover all your expenses tonight, Uncle Jiu!"

"Okay! Uncle Nine is such a good man~" Zhao Zhao snickered while covering her small mouth.

The corners of Kangxi's mouth turned up, and he knew from the little guy's expression that he was going to play tricks.

After finishing speaking, he took Tamafa's hand, looked forward with a jump, and then picked a shop that looked very classically and elegantly decorated and stopped.

The shopkeeper looked up, and almost blurted out the phrase "My boss".

Yinzhen was also dumbfounded. When he was in a hurry, he forgot that he also had his own shop on this street!So he quickly stretched out his index finger and made a gesture around his mouth, signaling the shopkeeper not to reveal his identity.

"Mister, what do you want to see?" The person who can accompany the owner must be of extraordinary status, and the shopkeeper will personally receive him.

"It's not that I want to buy it, it's that my grandson wants to see it. Tell him about all the good things you have here."

"Hey! Then this young master is really the youngest guest I have ever received." The shopkeeper squatted halfway and smiled friendlyly at Zhao Zhao.

"Look this way, young master! These are a pair of emerald mandarin duck pendants. The beauty is that this is made of a single piece of emerald. The two can be seamlessly combined into one. This is made by a famous craftsman in the previous dynasty. It is a family heirloom that he passed on to his son and daughter-in-law, but he doesn't want it to be pawned by unworthy descendants.

Isn't this thinking that the owner is here, so let's sell it!
