Chapter 853: Filial piety

Obviously, these clans and powerful people were not very interested in silk, dyes, etc., and not many participated in the bidding. From the beginning to the end, it only took a quarter of an hour.

When the pen and post of the bidding chant, many people don’t feel anything. After all, in the eyes of most people, whether it is 500,000 or 600,000, it is a sky-high price, not something they can think of.

Cheng Mengkun's face was a little stiff. Although he knew that there would be no silk labels in the royal family present, he did not dare to give in and wrote a price of 550,000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, someone really came out of nowhere to cut this mark.

However, after all, the head of the Cheng family was the head of the family. When no one noticed it, his expression had calmed down.

But Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo, who was sitting next to him, was a little annoyed. He had been in love with the Cheng family for several generations and had received much filial piety from the Cheng family over the years. Even the three objects he just took were also the money paid by Cheng Mengkun.

He is short-speaking and slutty in his hands. Even Bo Guoduo, who has a noble status, is no exception.

He had already started to curse: "Which little bastard is this... Xiao Cheng, don't worry, I'm going to call you the Sixteenth Prince. Isn't it just 600,000? I didn't say which one won the bid? I'm here, see who dares to compete with you?"

He spoke righteously, and after that, he ordered the steward of the royal palace who had followed to go out and invite the sixteenth prince over.

Cheng Mengkun couldn't bear it calmly. He lost his mistake and could not blame others. If he had really Yibo Guoduo, who would know who would offend?

This was an auction by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The posts were all clans and the people who came were all powerful and powerful. Who had no backers?

Even if others fear Prince Zhuang’s Mansion and give up the bid, the revenge will be settled.

The backer can be weak if he can take out 600,000 taels of silver to mix it up.

At that time, even if no one dares to touch Bo Guoduo, it will not be easy to stumbling on the Cheng family, which has a great career.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Mengkun had already divided the importance and quickly stood up and said to Bo Guoduo: "The prince is very kind, and the young one is grateful. The young one is all relatives. The young one is just here to see. If you get it, just pick up a bargain, and if you don't, just forget it. The Cheng family didn't take this as a career, but they just got it, and the young one is still worried about sales."

Bo Guoduo was speaking tough and wondered which royal mansion is so rich. If he is really a clan, he would either be Jiubeizi Mansion or Prince Jian’s Mansion. Both of them are his nephews, but neither of them are soft characters.

Since it is sold for favors, Bo Guoduo is naturally not troublesome.

In addition to being more greedy, he is also half a person. Seeing that Cheng Mengkun was tactful, he was really embarrassed and pulled his arm and said, "It's good that I'm not spared. I just happened to have two jars of good wine from the king. Let's go back and have a good drink today..."

When Cao Yong saw Wang Lusheng taking pictures of silk, everyone was happy for him.

Wang Lusheng went to Beijing and only brought his adopted son Guo Quanyou, and a few strong men Changsui. Because the Thirteenth Prince and Cao Yong came out, those Changsui did not follow, only Guo Quanyou was by his side.

After the bidding was finished, Guo Quanyou picked up the curtain and handed over the pen and post.

For a moment, the coarse cloth with a minimum price of 80,000 taels of silver will also be bid. The winning amount is the base price. This is the price offered by the Thirteenth Prince.

Upon hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince smiled and waved his hand to send the manager out to handle the handover.

There were footsteps outside, and there were ups and downs to greet each other. I thought the royal family had already begun to leave.

The private rooms were temporarily separated, and Cao Yong and the others didn't want to be too troublesome, so they all turned off their voices.

When the sound outside the curtain gradually stopped and the person who came was about to leave, Cao Yong put down the teacup and asked, "Thirteenth Master, you have got this cloth. What are your plans?"

Upon hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince smiled bitterly, "Plan? There is no plan. I just thought that these cloths were from the Ministry of Revenue and pledged to raise money for the treasury. If these cloths cannot be sold out, it will affect the bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and are related to the treasury. I am also a son of man. Even if I can't share my father's worries like others, even if I have dispersed my family property, I will always be filial to me..."

Cao Yong was quite moved when he heard this.

Cao Yong knew the future of the Thirteenth Prince, the prince of the regent. Among his sons, he was also named a prince, and he was the most prominent person in the Yongzheng Dynasty. However, others did not know, and the Thirteenth Prince himself did not know.

At present, he is just a titleless prince, a idle royal family. The next prince's mansion, Beile Mansion, will not plan for the princes, because the princes of the royal family have to be awarded titles when they reach age, and the house and land are arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so no one has to worry about it.

The Thirteenth Prince is special. He fell out of favor for Kangxi and was not awarded a title even after his reign, let alone the little princes of the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion.

In this way, you have to prepare money by yourself when marrying a wife and a daughter.

Eighty thousand taels of silver are definitely not a small amount for the Thirteenth Prince.

Although Cao Yong pushed the Taihu Pearl Field to the Thirteenth Prince in the name of borrowing money, the pearl farming recipe had been released for several years at that time. The pearl farms that bought the Pearl Fields in Jiangning had already risen, and the price of the Nanzhu was reduced.

Besides, it is easy to say that raising beads is easy and difficult to say. It is easy to make beads out of clams, but it is difficult to make good beads.

When Cao Yong made money, he was the only one. He also thought he used Zheng Woxue. Zheng Woxue was born in a pearl farming family and had his own eyesight for recognizing clams and debating pearls, which was not something outsiders could imitate.

When the Zhuchang reached the hands of the Thirteenth Prince, Zheng Woxue was also in the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, but he had never intervened in the Zhuchang. Even if the Zhuchang has made profits over the years, he is not as rich as the Cao family.

Let’s talk about Nanyang Business Roads. In order to seek asylum, Wang Lusheng divided 30% of the shares of the business roads he had obtained to the Thirteenth Prince’s Mansion. The Thirteenth Prince refused and finally raised some money, which was considered a name, but he was only willing to accept 10% of the shares.

Because of these two reasons, even if the Thirteenth Prince has made some profits in recent years, the total number is still limited.

Even if the 80,000 taels of silver are not all saved, it will be almost the same.

Cao Yong is aware of the roots and bottom of the world, so how can he not be moved?

There was another person who was moved by Cao Yong, who was Kangxi standing outside the curtain.

Because he was cut off by Bo Guoduo before, he felt a little unhappy and wanted to leave, but later he heard the few bids on the list and stopped.

The lowest price is 80,000, 220,000, or 500,000. Even if he is an emperor, he does not regard these as small quantities.

I was given a favor to the Eight Banners and rewarded 10,000 cotton coats, which was only tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This person is a little bit old when he gets older. Kangxi is very busy with life. He feels uncomfortable when he hears others are so generous, and he also wants to know which one it is.

It would be fine if he had a clean family. If he had a character like Bo Guoduo, Kangxi would not mind "give him a favor" and enrich the treasury.

Therefore, he told people to spread the Sixteenth Prince that apart from the dye marks that had been leaked, the remaining two marks were from the Jiashen private room.

He was not afraid of leaving because the Sixteenth Prince made trouble and told his subordinates to go through the procedures slowly.

When he saw the word "Jiashen", the Sixteenth Prince also felt strange. He remembered clearly that the invitations starting with "Jiashen" and "Jiashen" were sent to the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, and he also knew that the Thirteenth Prince had no intention of coming.

When the Sixteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince said that the two were about to come and take a look, but they were intercepted by Wei Zhu.

Wei Zhu is the chief supervisor of the Ganqing Palace and the first person in front of the imperial court. He is here, who?

It is absolutely necessary that the two brothers arrived at Kangxi’s private room again to greet him.

When the outsiders finished, Kangxi stood up and brought his children and grandchildren to the private room of "Jiashen". Unexpectedly, he walked to the door of the private room and heard Cao Yong ask questions.

The Thirteenth Prince's answer was not very passionate, but on the contrary, it was a bit bitter and helpless, but it hit Kangxi like a hammer.

This is his son. He has been cold for more than ten years. He still wants to be a "son of man" and be filial.

Kangxi only felt his eyes hot and his body staggered.

The Sixteenth Prince and the Seventeenth Prince followed Kangxi. Seeing that the situation was wrong, they hurried forward to support him: "Emperor!"

Hongming also said in surprise: "Huangmafa..."

The private room was silent for a moment. The Thirteenth Prince looked at the curtain with a little confused look on his eyes. I am afraid he just thought he had hallucinations.

In this world, no matter whether it is called "Huang Ama" or "Huang Mafa", there is only one person. How could that person appear in the warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Forbidden City or the Ganqing Palace?

Cao Yong was awakened, stood up, opened the curtain, and was right with Kangxi.

Kangxi's eyes fell on Cao Yong, and then jumped over Cao Yong, and fell on the Thirteenth Prince sitting behind him.

The last time we met was in Tangquan Zhuangzi, when Kangxi ordered his son to "retreat".

Isn't it resting? Why does his complexion look even darker and thin and exposed?

The father and son are together, and Kangxi is still worthy of losing his composure. If the Thirteenth Prince doesn’t get up, it will be a crime of disrespect.

Cao Yong was anxious and could only kneel down with a "thump" and said loudly: "My minister Cao Yong has seen the emperor and asked Emperor Jin An."

The Thirteenth Prince woke up and hurriedly got up and knelt down: "My son Yinxiang has seen the Emperor, please ask the Emperor Ama."

Although Wang Lusheng next to him had never seen Kangxi, he could not understand anything when he listened to Cao Yong and the Thirteenth Prince. He also knelt down and did not dare to look up again.

Kangxi stepped forward, entered the private room, helped Cao Yong up first, and asked, "I know you can't stay idle, come and watch the fun? Now I can feel at ease. The Sixteenth Prince's method is good. It seems that the bank can maintain it."

Cao Yong was so angry that he was not interested in joining in the fun. He was brought in temporarily. However, Kangxi had already made a conclusion and could not talk much about the right and wrong of the Thirteenth Prince. He could only respond: "After all, I have some connection with the bank, and I am a little concerned about it."

Kangxi nodded, and saw his gaze becoming more gentle, and he asked a few more homely questions.

Seeing that the Thirteenth Prince and Wang Lusheng were still kneeling on the ground, Kangxi had no intention of shouting, and hurriedly gave a wink at the Sixteenth Prince.

The sixteenth prince stood behind Kangxi and took a step forward, saying, "The emperor should sit down first, and the son of the son brought a few good tea cakes, so that people could serve tea."

Kangxi nodded, stepped forward a few steps, sat in the middle, and said, "Get up." After saying that, he pointed to the Thirteenth Prince and said, "Help up."

The Sixteenth Prince was deeply complaining in his heart, was the Emperor too inhumane? He could help him up when he knelt down, but when he reached the Thirteenth Prince, he was so cold.

He didn't know that Kangxi didn't want to go forward to help his son, but he was timid and dared not go forward.

The Thirteenth Prince knelt down and kowtowed, revealing his gray braids, tingling Kangxi's old eyes.

Those who don’t know will think it’s an old man in their sixties when they see the gray braids and hunched figure.

This is his favorite prince, his little foal, who has become like this.

Even the eldest and second princess who have been encircled for more than ten years have not ended up like this. The two sons have been banned from the circle and have not seen each other once, but the memorials from the clan mansion and the Imperial Hospital will not be faked.

After all, it was his son. Kangxi would not be wronged. He could not fall behind them. He did not disappoint him. He was drunk and dreamed of death, and he was so fat that he could not walk. The little prince and the little princess jumped out one by one.

Even if they could not make contributions to the Qing Dynasty, the two of them could fulfill their responsibilities for the descendants of Aisin Gioro to reproduce.

Why, only his thirteenth brother lost his anger,

The sixteenth prince and the seventeenth prince helped the thirteenth prince up together. The thirteenth prince lowered his head and did not dare to look up.

It seemed like a dream, and the Thirteenth Prince felt his mind blank. At some point, tears were already falling.

The sixteenth prince was smart and saw that something was wrong. He waved his hand to send Wang Lusheng and Xiaoman to quietly withdraw.
