Sit back and reap the rewards

Chapter 226

The 41st year of Kangxi finally passed the last day, and the 42nd year of Kangxi came slowly in the eyes of everyone's expectations.

The new year has arrived, which is a good thing, a new year with a new atmosphere.This year's draft is a big event related to how many people.

Even Lan Ting has never looked forward to the New Year so much.

It is true that here, the New Year is full of taste, at least compared with modern times, it is really a Chinese New Year.

But after more than 20 years, although Lan Ting also had hope, he was not as eager as he was this year.

Simple, for Lan Ting, 41 years is definitely a year full of disasters, and there is no harm in passing this year earlier.

So this time, Lan Ting was extremely active during the Chinese New Year. Whether it was the decoration or the gift, etc., they all showed a strong joy. Of course, Lan Ting also lost a lot of money. At least compared to previous years, Lan Ting It cost an extra 5000 taels of silver.

Lan Ting felt that the New Year's arrangements in previous years were not enough, so everything was handled in a more festive direction, and the result became what it is now.

Although Lan Ting has a modern petty bourgeois' money fan deep in her heart, she has been in the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and she is not short of money, so she is thrifty where she should be thrifty in normal times, and she is never stingy with what she should spend.

This time is also a rare extravagance.

Of course, Wang Fujin of Yongjun's festivities attracted the attention of some people, and they all could understand it. You think that the fourth elder brother is plagued by epidemics and smallpox every year, so it's very good to have a good fortune at the beginning of this year. necessary.

Not only Lan Ting, but also Guo Luoluo and Wu Lan have done a lot more than the previous Chinese New Year.

This year is the fiftieth birthday of Kangxi, although there are still two months before the Longevity Day, it would be nice if the celebration could be bigger.

After all, because the crown prince was abolished, the whole court has been tense for a long time, and now it can make people relax, and everyone can be excited to make the New Year's Eve more lively and prosperous.

As a result, the biggest winners are those merchants.

Obviously, this year's annual gift has increased by more than [-]% compared with previous years. They have earned a lot, and the preparations for the Longevity Festival have already started, and the first-class things they prepared have been robbed.

It is estimated that when the new year is over, new goods will arrive, and I will definitely make a lot of money by then.

The new year is still the same as usual, but, because the space is completely controlled by Lan Ting and Yinzhen, at least after the two work together, they don't have to do the harvest by themselves, which makes people worry a lot.

At the same time, the potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc. that Yinzhen originally planted have harvested a lot and can be planted on the farm.

This time the sweet potato is one of the congratulatory gifts that Yinzhen will present, and it is a big head.

Yinzhen is not afraid of Shouqi's doubts. Many people know that he is interested in farming, and Yinhu is also aware of the many seeds he brought back from Jiangnan, but he doesn't take it too seriously.

At that time, Yin Zhen didn't have any intentions either. Lan Ting played some role in inducing him, and of course Shou Qi also contributed.However, after the return of Yongzheng, it was different. April [-]th knew very well how important this was to the Qing Dynasty, especially in modern times, corn and other materials have become the most important food reserves in the world.

So in the past year, Yinzhen deliberately planted in places such as the south and the north, and they are not rich lands. At least the congratulatory gift to Kangxi must have a harvest situation in each place.

This is probably the biggest highlight of the congratulatory gift in Yongjun Palace. When Yinzhen and Wu Sidao talked about it, Comrade Wu Sidao was ecstatic.

"My lord, this is an excellent move. Not only will it deepen the importance of the lord in the eyes of the emperor, but even scholars will praise him a lot!"

Wu Sidao knew very well that this was a major event that solved the food problem of the common people, and it was definitely a great achievement.

"Since my husband thinks it's good, then that's good."

Yinzhen also understands that his emperor, Ama Kangxi, is a person who cares about face-saving and pays attention to perfection. He can add to Kangxi's reputation and at the same time allow more people to have food. Yinzhen thinks it is a great thing matter.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes really became popular in the world during the Qianlong period. Yinzhen didn't have any troubles about the so-called political achievements that robbed Hongli. Anyway, he didn't get his own name, and dedicated it to Kangxi.

This is his filial piety. Of course, from another perspective, April [-]th is also a bit black-bellied.

Kangxi's birthday is less than two months away, and each family is starting to make the final finishing touches. This year is different from previous years, not only Kangxi's [-]th birthday, but also the prince's deposed. If you are so angry, aren't they asking for bad luck?
So the congratulatory gifts, which were already very heavy, were increased a bit. At the same time, those with better meanings were removed, and the ones left were all with good meanings.

Lan Ting is no exception. Some time ago, people have specially created a lot of five blessings, crane offerings and so on. Anyway, they are relatively common in the Qing Dynasty, and they are also recognized by the world.

As for other novelties, I'm sorry, Lan Ting doesn't want to stand out, and would rather keep a low profile now, anyway, Yinzhen's gift is already relatively high profile.

However, because of April Fourth's own physical problems, it is estimated that Kangxi would not think about other aspects.

After pondering like this, Lan Ting suddenly discovered something.

"So Yinzhen robbed me of the space that originally belonged to me. Although he was imprisoned for more than ten years, it seems that he has completely benefited in the end."

Lan Ting counted with his fingers, the first is her, no matter what others think, anyway, Lan Ting thinks that she is unique in the world, there will definitely not be another one who is exactly like her, even if there is, it must not be her Lan Ting; the second is Kangxi's no doubt, and Tong Jia's life is also extended because of the spiritual liquid.

After much calculation, Lan Ting finally came to a conclusion, what kind of punishment did Yinzhen receive, it was because he received the great love from the heavens.

Lan Ting neglected that without Yongzheng's hundreds of years of loneliness, he might not have been able to endure the loneliness of the past ten years.

A person who has been alone for a long time, that feeling is unknown to those who have not tried it.

Lan Ting is actively preparing for the congratulatory gifts, while Shou Qi is here.

Seed Shou Qi did not think about it, she has basically been able to put her position right now, she is Princess Gu Lun, the most noble woman from the Qing Dynasty, she does not need to participate in the seizure of the heir apparent, and she is not very A man who can fight.

The current history has become too much, and many prophets of Shou Qi can no longer be used, so Shou Qi thinks that she only needs to be dedicated and filial.

Anyway, the friendship between the elder brothers and her is not bad. Of course, this is what Shou Qi did on purpose. Originally, she still wanted to do something, but now let's see.

Because she is the daughter of the imperial concubine and also a princess, so all brothers are willing to make friends with her.

The congratulatory gift that Shou Qi finally came up with was relatively simple, with a good idea and a good idea, and it was not too difficult to implement.

That is to draw the entire Kangxi family, that is, a family portrait.

Originally, Shouqi was almost ready, but now a problem arises, the prince has been abolished, so the original painted prince can no longer be used.

But Shouqi wanted to surprise Kangxi again, so in the end Shouqi decided to go to Yuqing Palace and elder brother to congratulate him during the New Year.

As Kangxi's favorite daughter, Kangxi agreed to Shouqi's request.

If it was someone else, Kangxi probably would have other ideas, but Shouqi Kangxi would only think that this is a brother and sister love and a daughter with filial piety.

As a result, on the second day after Shouqi visited, Kangxi began to talk about how Shouqi cared about his brothers, which made other elder brothers express their willingness to care more about Yinfeng and Yinreng, but was scolded by Kangxi After a meal.

Shou Qi felt that she had offended several older brothers and younger brothers in this regard, so she came to express her apology, and several elder brothers said that they didn't take it to heart.

If there is anything Shouqi is good at before, it is sketching. She has studied this aspect for seven or eight years, and it should be said to be good, but the birthday gift to Kangxi first cannot be simple sketching, but a complete meticulous painting of Shouqi. The drawing is also not good, so in the end, Shou Qi can only do sketches, and then a little processing and polishing, and then framed. Anyway, they are all drawn by Shou Qi himself, and it is enough to put his heart into it.

Of course, it is impossible for Shouqi to draw all the members of the royal family, so she drew two pictures, one is Kangxi and the brothers of Prince Yu, who are few and easy to handle, and the other is the empress dowager and Kangxi In the middle, then Elder brother, princess and so on.

Of course, there are Prince Fujin and children.

There are many grandsons of Emperor Kangxi, and only his sons can be included in the painting, among which Yinzhen occupies the most weight, because all his children are descended from his descendants, and only one daughter appears on the prince's side, and then he can be regarded as the elder brother. Four daughters and one son are on the list, which can be regarded as a great contribution.

As for Shou Qi who was not chosen, such as side Fujin and concubine, after all, those people were not regular wives, and no one would blame Shou Qi for this, her status was high enough.

Of course, among the concubines and concubines in the harem, Shou Qi was not offended. Anyone who gave birth to a child was painted, and it was a veritable family portrait.

It's also because Shou Qi has been slandering Kangxi for a while, so you can't abolish the prince later, making her have to work hard again, but fortunately, there is plenty of time.

Shouqi finally finished the congratulatory gift at the beginning of March. As for other valuables, Shouqi also prepared some. She is confident that she will win the championship in one fell swoop.

And even the congratulatory gifts and birthday gifts for Kangxi's 1th birthday have been thought out. Isn't it written in the novel that [-] long-lived old people were asked to write a word "Shou" each, as a sign of the emperor's longevity.

Therefore, it is right that Lan Ting followed the steps, not surprisingly, because a slight change would probably arouse suspicion, and if suspicion arose, Shou Qi, a butterfly, did not know how big a storm it would bring her.

Now, because Lan Ting has always been careful, these things have become impossible.
