The news that the emperor and his family went to Wutai Mountain in person to pray for the Qing Dynasty and the people of Li was not concealed from the outside world. Therefore, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, at the beginning of Mao Shi, the sky was still dark, and the common people in the capital who liked to watch the excitement mentioned

Wearing a dim kerosene lamp covered with a glass shell, wearing a cotton-padded jacket, and a felt hat to protect the ears, they put their hands in each other's sleeves, hunched their necks, and braved the cold wind of early winter, standing on both sides of the street, facing the Forbidden City.

The direction is eagerly awaited.

At the end of the Mao period, when the sky lit up, the people, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw the long imperial guard of honor, which was neatly arranged, heroic, and composed of the Eight Banners disciples at the front. They knelt on the ground in surprise and bowed respectfully.

Long live.

The people kneeling close to the Forbidden City saw four luxury carriages as big as a room, with round and large wheels rolling forward on the street, followed closely by a man wearing a dark blue embroidered python coat.

Prince Yu, who was wearing a winter robe with auspicious patterns, also rode a tall horse. After patting the horse and passing in front of them, most of the common people, who had their heads lowered, dared to raise their heads and look at the grand and extraordinary royal procession in front of them.

Taking advantage of the faint morning light above their heads, they took a cursory look behind them and found that in addition to the four large carriages in front, there were also nearly a hundred ordinary carriages carrying things behind them, as well as nearly a thousand people, including imperial guards and palace maids with swords.

, Mammy, the logistics team composed of eunuchs couldn't help but widen their eyes, and they were in awe of the royal family's generosity.

Kangxi and Prince Yinfeng sat in the first bright yellow carriage, and the people in the dark purple carriage behind them were the empress dowager, the four princesses, the fifth elder brother, the sixth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother.

Brother, on the fourth big golden carriage, sat the eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, Prince Yu and the three quasi-brothers-in-law.

When these three large carriages passed by the street, they were all quiet, showing the majesty of the royal family. Only a few gentle sounds of tapping the glass windows could be heard from the third large autumn-colored carriage sandwiched in the middle.

Some braver boys and girls heard the sound and quietly raised their heads to look at the carriage. They saw that the beautiful bead curtains in the carriage were opened by a few fleshy little hands, and there were several wearing clothes posted in front of the clean and transparent glass windows.

Wearing a thick and exquisite warm hat, he has beautiful features, red lips and white teeth, and a small round face like a fairy boy sitting down like Buddha. Even the two chubby round faces wearing a golden tiger head hat in the middle are exactly the same.

.

The twin brothers saw the people kneeling on the ground on the east side of the street looking at them intently. They grinned happily with a few white baby teeth, and their mouths were filled with glistening saliva, and they looked towards everyone without any recognition.

Waving his little hands and opening and closing his mouth, he seemed to be greeting the people.

After seeing this scene, the common people kneeling on the ground were stunned. The royal family always looked noble and cool to the outside world. How had they ever seen such a down-to-earth and lovely emperor? I don’t know who suddenly shouted loudly.

:

"The one who is waving at us is the lucky little brother born to the imperial concubine that Master □□ mentioned before. Let's return the gift to him quickly. He will be blessed."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a burst of colorful fireworks blooming in the night. With a "swish", the originally solemn and solemn atmosphere of the ceremony suddenly became lively, as if a pot had exploded. The people kneeling on the street were busy.

He raised his head and motioned excitedly to the young brothers sitting in the big carriage.

There was even a strong man whose accent sounded like that of a Shaanxi man, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Twin brothers, I hope you can let my wife be pregnant with a child this year. I will definitely go to Longquan Temple to pray for you two!"

The sound insulation effect of the big carriage was very good. The imperial concubine could not hear clearly what the people on the street said, but the strong man clenched his two fists on his side and yelled with all his strength, his words were twisted into a thin line.

The sound came into the carriage through the glass window. The imperial concubine and Bai Lu were stunned when they heard that the strong man obviously regarded the two little brothers as fairy boys. The two adults had not yet reacted, so they lay on the glass

The few little breast dumplings in front of the window were instantly excited. Xiao Shisi, who was dressed in red and looked like a Ruyi purse, spread all the five fingers of his fair and tender right hand, and patted the glass window in front of him with a smile, as if in response to the strong response.

Han said the same thing.

This was an extraordinary moment. The eyes of the people kneeling on the ground lit up. Some even stood up, put their hands in front of their mouths like loudspeakers, and shouted loudly towards the carriage. The crowd made wishes one after another.

It also rang:

"My dear little brother was born to the imperial concubine. My mother fell unconscious and has been lying on the bed for more than three years. I hope you two can bring some blessings to my family and help my mother to recover quickly.

Open your eyes and get better. If my mother wakes up, I will also go to Longquan Temple to pray for you two. I will kowtow to you here!"

"Brother 13 and 14, my son has failed twice and has been very sad all day. I wish you both can bless my son to be a high school scholar in this imperial examination. If my son passes high school, I, Mr. Li, will definitely

I’m leading my clan members to light longevity lamps for you two at Longquan Temple.”

"Brothers, please wish me good fortune and buy a big house with three entrances and three exits in the capital as soon as possible. It will be convenient for you to bring your family from Songjiang Mansion to the capital!"

"Little brother..."

"...The little girl makes a wish that she can find a husband as she wishes this year!"

The imperial concubine sitting in the carriage heard that the common people seemed to regard the two brothers as wishing koi. From "asking for a son" and "asking for the health of the family", they gradually turned into bold girls asking for marriage. The content was obvious.

What he said became more and more outrageous, and Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, and Xiao Eleven, who were influenced by the familiar twins, also waved shyly outside the glass window, and Xiao Jiu blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes and looked at the outside.

The crowd was electrified. Xiao Shi took a bite of a sweet osmanthus cake in his mouth and waved cheerfully outside. He hurriedly called to Bai Lu who was sitting at the door to lower the beaded curtains on the glass windows and put them down.

Several little breast dumplings shouted loudly and came to the front.

The two little brothers, who couldn't walk without a walker, saw that the people outside could no longer see them, and the brothers around them had also left, so they climbed up with their short legs and pressed against the carpet.

E Niang stood in front of her, raised her little head, pulled the imperial concubine's trouser legs with her little hands, and softly shouted "hug, hug~" while her breasts were humming.

Qingyan had no choice but to pick up the two brothers from the carpet and put them on her lap. She touched the tips of the two brothers' noses with her white right fingertips and said in a dumbfounded voice:

"You two are really good at being in the limelight! You stole all the limelight from Khan Ama and Brother Prince who were walking in the front."

"Head, head~"

The two little brothers, who were almost eleven months old, had no idea that they were the cause of all the lively scenes in life outside. They watched their mother tapping their little noses with her hands, and they both stretched out their noses in a silly manner.

He held Ainiang's slender and tender fingers with his little hand and moved it into his mouth to grind his teeth.

Qingyan's eyelids jumped, and she quickly took the wooden pacifier from Bai Lu, holding back her smile, and handed it over with a red rope tied around it. She hung it around the brothers' necks, and stuffed the clean wooden pacifiers into the twins' mouths one by one.

.

Xiaojiu, who was standing aside, had a pair of bright peach blossom eyes. He picked up a small decorative mini gold abacus tied around his waist, put it in his hand and made some random calculations. Then he got close to the twins and took a closer look.

The faces of the two brothers are indeed very round, and the big earlobes exposed from the tiger head hat are like the earlobes of the Buddha. They look so blessed that they can't help but turn their eyes flexibly a few times and make a sweet sound.

He looked at the imperial concubine angrily and said:

"Empress Huang, you said that if Khan Amma shrinks the small handprints or footprints of Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen, and engraves them on the glass, chime clocks and Western soaps sold in our Royal Glass Factory, then say that these are their

With the lucky seals that the two brothers have received, will we be able to buy more things, and then the money we earn will suddenly increase many times?"

"Silver, paper!"

"Sell!"

Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen could not understand what Brother Ninth said, but they were now at the stage where they were eager to learn how to speak. After listening to Brother Ninth's well-spoken words, the two of them immediately fell in love with each other.

He repeated the words they both liked.

After Qingyan heard Xiao Yinzhen puffing out his little chest and saying these words proudly, she couldn't help but look up and down at his short, three-headed body, and raised her eyebrows uncontrollably, thinking that Xiao Jiu couldn't blame him.

He was born with high financial intelligence, and lo and behold, in just a moment, the idea of ​​"royal spokesperson advertising" to increase sales for the glass factory popped up in his little mind.

Before she opened her mouth, she stood next to Xiao Jiu, with her hands behind her back, like a little adult. Xiao Ba, who had a pair of fox eyes, said with a kind face and a smile:

"Xiao Jiu, your idea is certainly good. Khan Amma is a person who cares about face the most. He would never want to see Xiao Thirteen and Xiao Fourteen engraving handprints and footprints on things and selling them. What would he say?

This behavior brings disgrace to the royal family."

"Yes, yes, Xiaoba is right, Khan Ama would say that this is not at all like the emperor's demeanor and manners, and it is not decent!"

Xiaoqi, who was wearing a green winter robe, also imitated the appearance of their Khan Ama, with a serious face and a sneer on her lips, turning the non-existent jade finger on her thumb and standing on tiptoes.

, he lowered his eyes and made a arrogant and arrogant look looking down at everyone, patted Xiaojiu's shoulder and muttered softly.

Qingyan and Bai Lu saw that little Yinyou, who was almost four years old, imitated Kangxi's sarcastic manner 99% in his speech and behavior, and they couldn't hold back their laughter.

Xiao Shi swallowed the last bite of osmanthus cake in his mouth, touched his round belly, pretended to support Xiao Yinzhen, and said in a milky voice:

"I don't think so. Who thinks the money is too little? Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth, I think your idea is quite good. You can definitely make a lot of money."

Xiao Eleven, who lived with Xiao Jiu in Yikun Palace and had a pair of similar peach blossom eyes and was only two years old, was so excited that he couldn't wait to say:

"Brother Ninth, you said, yes, make a lot of money!"

Qingyan finished listening to the words of the five children in front of her, and watched Xiaojiu look frustrated after listening to Xiaoqi and Xiaoba's words, with her brows just drooping. After listening to Xiaoten and Xiaoxi

After being encouraged, he immediately cheered up again and looked at himself expectantly.

She would definitely not attack Xiao Yinzhen's newly revealed business talent. Under the gaze of several children, she hugged the two brothers in her arms, frowned slightly and pondered for a moment before speaking.

:

"Xiaojiu, Huang'e Niang thinks your idea is brilliant. Huang'e Niang thinks that maybe in a few years, after the common people can make things like glass and self-ringing clocks, the imperial court will probably sell them.

When you buy things, the money you can earn will be much less.”

"If you extend what you said, our royal family really needs to have a unique logo, engraved on the officially sold items. This will not only distinguish the items made by ordinary people, but also prevent some unscrupulous businessmen.

In the name of the royal family, they make fake goods and pass them off as good ones, making unscrupulous money, which is a good thing for the court and the people who buy things with money."

Qingyan looked at Xiao Jiu's peach blossom eyes getting brighter and brighter as she spoke. Just when Xiao Jiu jumped up and cheered excitedly, she changed the subject and continued:

"But Huang'e Niang thinks what your seventh brother and eighth brother said makes sense. It's not like you don't know that your Khan Ama is the kind of person who can eat face like flour, and let him treat little thirteen and little fourteen as the imperial court.

He is definitely not happy with the signboard selling things. Why don't you think about it, Xiaojiu, if there is any other way that can not only save your face, but also make more money for you, Khan?

Ma Qiandian also told Huang Erniang that he had chosen a good place with beautiful mountains and green waters, and wanted to build a large and comfortable garden. Building a large garden would cost a lot of money. If what you said happened to impress him,

, he will definitely agree with your idea."

"Hmm, Huang'e Niang, I understand. Xiaojiu will definitely come up with a good way to get Khan Ama to agree. You are really just like Xiao Jiu, Huang'e Niang with a smart mind and good looks."

Little Yinzhen raised his little head, hugged the imperial concubine's arm like smearing honey with his little mouth, and praised the imperial concubine sweetly. Several other little boys also followed the imperial concubine's words and began to think in their heads, and then the five brothers

Sitting cross-legged on the carpet, with their little heads together, you and I discussed the situation. After the twins grabbed the suction cups and drank the warm milk that Aunt Bailu gave them, they lay on the soft couch behind the imperial concubine and covered themselves with it.
