Chapter 457

Seeing Yinzhen laughing at the gift list, Yinxiang glanced at him with dissatisfaction and said softly: "It's funny? Thirteenth brother is a vulgar. You are the richest man in the Qing Dynasty. What did you give me? Let's open our eyes."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "The Thirteenth Brother's courtesy is a little light."

"Didn't the fourteenth brother hear that filial piety is the first of all virtues, filial piety is the first, filial piety is the first, filial piety is the first, filial piety is the first, fertility is the first, filial piety is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is the first, corruption is

At this time, the old Shi Yinyi came over and whispered: "What are you two secretly muttering? Who has the lustful heart?"

Yinzhen chuckled and pointed at Yinxiang, saying, "Of course it's the Thirteenth Brother."

However, Yin Yi glanced at the gift list in Yinzhen's hand, immediately changed the topic, and smiled and said, "What is the birthday ceremony of the 14th brother?"

Yinzhen simply handed over the gift list. Yin Yi glanced at it quickly and said in surprise: "Fourth brother, you are too stingy."

"This is mine." Yinxiang snatched the gift list and gave Yinzhen a blank look and said, "Take yours out to open our eyes."

"I didn't have a backup." Yinzhen spread his hands and smiled: "I just gave me a piece of paper."

"Fourth brother, you are too vulgar. Do you give me silver notes for the birthday gift of the Emperor Ama?" Yin Yi said exaggeratedly: "But, it's direct enough, how much denomination is it?"

The words were a little louder, and the brothers next to him immediately looked over. The eighth brother Yinsi frowned slightly, walked over and said softly: "The silver notes given by the fourteenth brother?"

"Where is it?" Yinzhen smiled and said, "Brother Ten has misunderstood. What I gave is not a silver note."

"Will that be a vote?" Yin Yi asked relentlessly.

Yinxiang said uncertainly: "Is it a plan?"

"Brother Thirteenth guessed almost." Yinzhen nodded and said, "It is the construction plan of a new first-class battleship."

Class I battleship! Yinxiang was happy when he heard this. He hurriedly asked, "Can you build a Class I battleship?"

"Yeah." Yinzhen nodded and said, "After several years of exploration, the Shanghai Shipyard has recently recruited several Dutch and Spanish shipbuilders. It has officially proposed to build that new first-class battleship."

"Fourth brother, you are really stingy. The emperor's sixty birthday gift, did you actually give me a short favor?" Yin Yi said in surprise.

Yinxiang said sourly: "Okay, with the gift of the 14th brother, our money is wasted."

The birthday gifts given by princes and grandchildren and princes and ministers were all long. Kangxi looked at many gift lists and was indifferent and had to look through them. When he saw Yinzhen's gift list, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned. The gift list was just a sentence, "The first-class battleship of the 'Shanghai' was delivered in the 57th year of Kangxi. The emperor went to the Jiangnan ship seven times."

Seeing Kangxi being stunned, Li Dequan, who was serving the marquis in front, couldn't help but feel nervous. Kangxi was not satisfied with the birthday gift of the Fourteenth Master. I don't know what the Fourteenth Master gave me? He wanted to peek, but he didn't dare, so he could only do it in a hurry, thinking about how to distract Kangxi from the attention and expose the matter.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi smiled and said, "This fourteenth old man is always unique. Although the gift is good, it will take five years to receive it. It really makes me look forward to it."

After the birthday ceremony is received, the birthday banquet will officially begin.

The dishes at Kangxi's birthday party were naturally dazzling and exquisite. However, the princes and grandsons who celebrated their birthdays did not have much chance to get chopsticks, because there were too many etiquettes at the birthday party and had very strict procedures. Every time there was a ritual, all those attending the banquet had to kowtow, get up, and return to their seats, and repeatedly tossed and scrambled until the end of the banquet, and there was not much time to sit down and stretch out the chopsticks. Basically, they were constantly kowtowing and thanking the grace and congratulations on the saints.

However, you don’t have to worry about being wasted those exquisite dishes. After the banquet, these dishes were packed by everyone and taken back to their house to share with their family, and all of them are favored by your family.

After the birthday party, it was not over yet, and I had to accompany Kangxi to watch the show. When I returned to the mansion, Yinzhen was so tired that he didn't even want to move his little finger. He kept getting angry and refused to engage in formalism in the future! In the autumnal equinox, Xiangqiao and the other girls were well-behaved, so they quickly came up to rub their shoulders and pinch their legs. Thinking that tomorrow is the birthday festival and there are many red tape, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

While squinting his eyes slightly and enjoying the kneading of the two maids, Bao Fuquan whispered outside the door: "Master, Thirteenth Master and Nian Zhongcheng are here to visit."

Nian Zhongcheng, Nian Gengyao also went to Beijing? The Thirteenth Old brought him here, so he must have talked to him about his own ideas. It seems that Nian Gengyao was willing to do so, otherwise he would not have been in a hurry to visit the mansion. However, it was a bit inappropriate to visit the mansion at this time. The matter of building a new type of imperial guards has not been reported to Kangxi. He proposed to use Nian Gengyao to lead the new army. One is to value his military talents, and the other is that Kangxi trusts him. If he knew that he visited the mansion, it might be a bad thing.

While pondering and finding an excuse to see him, Bao Fuquan continued: "Nian Zhongcheng came here in a very low manner and did not report it."

The boy was cautious, and Yinzhen then ordered: "Take it to the study and wait, I'll go there right away."

After enjoying another massage, Yinzhen got up and looked at the autumnal equinox. Xiangqiao and the girls looked at each other and said, "Do you know the rules in the mansion?"

At the autumnal equinox, Xiang Qiao heard it and quickly squatted down and said, "Go back to the prince, I will learn the rules before I enter the mansion."

"Yeah." Yinzhen nodded and said, "If you are favored and arrogant, disaster will not come in a flash. You must keep this in mind."

"I respect the prince's instructions." Xiang Qiao and the others replied softly.

In the study, Nian Gengyao sat calmly on Yinxiang's lower head, but he felt very moved. However, in just five years, the Fourteenth Master actually surpassed the princes and dominated the emperor. Three years ago, when he returned to the capital, he could never have expected that he would be promoted quickly, but compared with the Fourteenth Master, it was a world of difference.

In recent years, he has not been satisfied with the governor of Sichuan. Because of the encirclement and suppression of Shengfan, he was scolded by Kangxi. In addition, Sichuan has a vast land and sparse population, which is incomparable to the prosperity of the capital and the south of the Yangtze River. This time he went to Beijing in the name of paying birthday, and wanted to find a way to mobilize him. Yesterday, the Thirteenth Master mentioned that the Fourteenth Master intended to transfer him to Beijing, and he was immediately overjoyed.

Although he was far away in Sichuan, he was clear about the situation of the Qing Navy. However, the Fourteenth Master wanted to form a new type of imperial guards, which was hard to find with lanterns. Not only could he be transferred back to the capital, but his future was many times better than that of the governor of Sichuan. The Fourteenth Master has now completely won. If nothing unexpected happens, he is the new king. Under his command, he has an unlimited future.

As for the small holiday three years ago, he was completely affected by the fish. Now the Fourth Master has withdrawn from the throne, and that holiday is not a big deal at all. He is eager to visit the mansion, but not to reconcile, but to make a point that opportunities in the officialdom are fleeting. How can he miss the opportunity to be delivered to the present?
