Although Yin Hong didn't like the things sold in the shops outside, since he came out with great difficulty, if he came back empty-handed and didn't even get a gift, he always felt that it would make people feel that he didn't care about them. I hope so, I can only dislike these crude and poorly made things, and I have to look at them one by one, intending to find out the bright spots that can make me buy them.

It's a pity that since Yinxiang's version of Shen Gongbao worked next to Yongzheng, according to the memory of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of exquisite utensils were produced, and each piece was refined and lifelike. Although Chaoge is the capital of the great merchants, when it comes to the decorations in the palace, there are few that can compare with it.

Yin Hong had already learned from Yinzhen that this was the only day he could go shopping, and he would stay in Jiang's mansion from tomorrow onwards.Although it is just from the cage of the imperial palace to the cage of Jiang's mansion, Yin Hong has lived in the imperial palace since he was born, and he is familiar with the scenes and decorations inside, but he has never been to Jiang's mansion. , but he was bored inside, and he must be able to see the scenery that is not available in the palace.

As for Yinzhen, he was supposed to take Yin Hong to the common people's house today, but since the other party said that he would give a gift to Yongzheng, and after his brother and his mother, Yinzhen had to put the schedule on hold for the time being. The other party left after finding a gift he wanted.

After all, Yin Hong is also the blood of the fourth brother in this life. Yinzhen has always known that the fourth brother values ​​his son. If he can get a gift to make him happy for a while, it is also a good deal.

Simply, although the process was a bit troublesome, I finally found something that caught my eye.

One was given to the queen mother, and the other was given to the eldest brother of the prince. Although it is not satisfactory, let alone comparable to the objects in the palace, it is still a heart, after all, in this market, you can find Seeing these two things can be barely seen, but it is not easy.

The second of the three gifts has already been obtained, and the last one to be given to the father is the most embarrassing.However, Yin Hong didn't want to be perfunctory, so he could only continue to waste energy and time.

Although Yin Hong failed to choose a gift that was worthy of the fourth brother, but Yinzhen still bears the emperor's order, and seeing that it is not too early, if he does not complete the fourth brother's verbal instructions, he is afraid that it will be dark.Therefore, Yinzhen took Yin Hong, who was struggling to choose a gift, without a trace, and went to the land of the poor.

Although Chaoge is the capital of the emperor, there are also poor people.Although Yongzheng wanted to work hard to help the people get rid of poverty, but he knew better that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. It was impossible for them to send people to help the people repair their houses. Therefore, when Yinzhen led Yin Hong and his party The more you walk, the more remote you are, and after that, what you see is just a dilapidated house, and a middle-aged man in front of the house can't look at it, but a group of gray-haired old men and old ladies, and a group of young children.

Just because Yongzheng only distributes food to children who are too old and too young, and people with disabilities, and others who have spare capacity are sent out to work, even women have to go out to work and earn money for daily living. If there is still a balance left over the expenses, it can be regarded as getting rid of poverty step by step.

When Yin Hongchu saw that Chaoge, which has always been prosperous, still had such a place, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken. Even if Yinzhen later told him what his father had done for these poor people, his mood could not be calmed down a little, on the contrary, it became more mess.

Yinzhen was also like Yin Hong when he was young, so he was very caring and didn't continue talking, only letting him understand.

A group of people stood beside Yin Hong for a long while, not even saying a word to Lei Zhenzi, the youngest, and finally got Yin Hong's sigh: "Father always has a cold face, although when I talk to my elder brother, it's more common than ordinary people. Be gentle, but I always feel that my father is too majestic and difficult to get close to. I often wonder whether my father is a wise emperor, and why there are people outside who want to oppose my father. Now I know that my father is indeed a A wise emperor, and those princes are just too ambitious to cause the people to fall into war, and because the father is dedicated to the people, it will inevitably touch the interests of these princes."

Yin Hong heard that Yongzheng sent Bigan to investigate the misdeeds of Qin Shuhou Ping Xinshou, Yin Hong didn't have much thought at that time, but now when he thinks about it, he knows that Yongzheng has done harm for the people.

What Yin Hong said in the previous paragraph was too rebellious, Yinzhen just pretended not to hear it, but he could still pick up a few more words: "Your Highness, His Majesty's temperament has always been cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so it's okay if others don't understand him. , as His Majesty's parent and child, you should at least be able to distinguish right from wrong, and don't twist your temper and get angry with Your Majesty. Your Majesty is always restless for the sake of the people. Your Highness will be a virtuous king in the future. It is good to share one or two for His Royal Highness."

"I will do that myself." Yin Hong said as a matter of course.

The sky was getting dark, even under the rule of Yongzheng, Chaoge was not enough to achieve the situation of "not closing the door at night", Yinzhen wanted to take Yin Hong back to Jiang's mansion as soon as the surroundings were not really dark.

At this time, apart from the imperial palace and the mansions of various princes, the big merchants at this time, not to mention candles, even oil lamps, are not available to many common people, so when the sky gets dark, they close their doors and close their houses early. It is a true portrayal of resting at sunset, which makes Yinzhen lament that the difference between the great merchants and the great Qing is not just hairstyles, clothes and human nature.

Except for the poor people's residence, the stalls on the street have been almost closed, and those shops are also swept and cleaned, leaving only a place the size of one person for people to enter and exit.

Yin Hong was very disappointed when he thought that he could not find a gift for Yongzheng today.It was better at first, thinking that his father might not be able to see the things sold on the street, but after seeing those poor people, he felt impatient, thinking, even if he can't help his father now, he just bought them It's good to have something to make him happy.Thinking of not being able to go out from tomorrow onwards, Yin Hong became depressed.

Yinzhen wanted to comfort him, but when he thought that he would not be able to let him go out tomorrow, he thought for a while, and then said: "I know His Highness's intentions, but I'm just worrying about the gift to His Majesty."

Yin Hong heard what he meant, and asked in a hurry: "Master Jiang has a good idea?" In fact, what Yin Hong wanted to ask was if the other party had something good for him, but such a question would be a bit of a snatch The meaning was inside, so he quickly changed the way of asking.

Yinzhen smiled and said: "I don't have anything that can please His Majesty. After all, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and rich in the world. Is there anything in the world that does not belong to Your Majesty?"

Yinzhen paused at this point, seeing that Yin Hong was sluggish again, and said: "However, you don't really need something expensive to give your majesty a gift. The word "gift" lies in the heart, and the Second Highness chooses it carefully. Things are minds, but there is another thing that can also be counted as the mind of the Second Highness, and it can move His Majesty even more."

Yin Hong's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What is it?"

Yinzhen took Yin Hong's hand, looked at it carefully for a long while, and then said quietly: "The hands of the Second Highness are thin and long, without calluses, soft like a girl's hands. Such a pair of unworked hands Hand, I don’t know what exquisite things I can create for His Majesty, I really look forward to it.”

Yin Hong was startled when he heard this, and then thought about it.

Yinzhen still made a point from the side: "My junior brother Shen Gongbao is good at Taoism, so he is quite valued by His Majesty. However, what His Majesty values ​​is not only his morality, but also his ability. Junior brother has done excellent official duties, but other There is no weakness in matters, when I entered the palace last time, I saw a batch of exquisite decorations in His Majesty's imperial study, the lifelike celadon plum vase with dragons playing with pearls is really too beautiful to behold."

Yin Hong immediately beamed with joy, and nodded to Yinzhen very satisfied. "I understand Master Jiang's meaning, thank you for pointing it out."

For this reason, Yinzhen stood aside very modestly, and said: "I can't afford to be a minister."
