Chapter 673 Buying New Year's Goods
On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Kangxi took Yin and his party slowly to Changchun Garden. After entering the twelfth lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year gradually became stronger and the people began to buy New Year's goods.
On both sides of the carriage, people were coming and going, and it was very lively.
"Si4, let's go to the big market after we go back, right?" Shu Yun said directly.
The weather in winter is very cold, and Yin definitely doesn't want Qingyan to be frozen. Therefore, he decided not to let Qingyan buy it for the time being. He would definitely be out for a long time.
"Xiaoguai, it's cold outside. What if it's really a big deal with New Year's goods, what should I do if I catch a cold?" Yin said directly.
Qingyan leaned on Yin's shoulder. If the servants were asked to buy New Year's goods, she would have reduced her chances of going out a lot.
"Four, I'm not afraid. We come out in person every year and buy some of the things we use ourselves. This is fun. For most of the New Year's goods, just let the people below buy them!" Qing Yan said to Yin.
Yin found that Qingyan was very persistent in this matter, which forced him to make concessions.
"Forget it, tomorrow, let's go out together, and the children are just placed on the side of Emperor Ama and Mother!" Yin leaned into Qingyan's ear and said.
Qing Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "Do we sneak out of the Old Summer Palace?"
"Yes, we just told the emperor Ama and came out quietly. In addition, we want to buy some things for Ama and Mother." Yin would give Kangxi and Concubine Tong some extra things every year.
Kangxi always said that he should not give it to him privately, but after receiving Yin's gift, he used it for a long time every time.
Puff!
Qingyan felt that Kangxi and Yin were really father and son, and even their habits were very similar.
Previously, Hutuli Fengsheng Zalafen specially embroidered a simple purse for Kangxi and Yin. Most of their purse were made by people from Shangyi Bureau, and the embroidery was very exquisite.
After Hutuli Fengsheng Zalafen gave the two small purses as gifts for the New Year, they kept wearing them. Even during the New Year's Eve dinner, Kangxi had this ugly purses on his body.
"This year, Hutuli Fengsheng Zalafen doesn't know what to prepare!" Yin liked this feeling very much. His daughter's embroidery worker was the best in his eyes, and it can be compared with the embroiderers in the monk's clothing bureau.
"Everything my daughter gives me is the best in your eyes, right?" Qingyan was a little jealous. After Hutuli Fengsheng Zalafen was born, Yin reduced his attention to her and focused all on his daughter.
"Xiao Guai, you are the one I pay most attention to. I hang all the things you embroidered by yourself, but I want to motivate my daughter." Yin found Qing Yan's jealous expression and sneered directly.
Qing Yan snorted coldly: "You are talking so much now. When you encounter something, you will definitely stand on your daughter's side again."
After saying that, Yin pinched Qingyan's little face. His daughter was always favored. Even Yiken understood that he must pamper his sister.
"Who said that I will always be on your side. Yikener should protect Hutulifengsheng Zalafen. In the future, when my daughter has a husband, I will no longer have to motivate her like now!" Yin was also mentally prepared. If her daughter wants to have a husband, Ama will retreat to the second line.
Yin's helpless expression made Qing Yan feel soft. Fei Yanggu looked even more like this back then, thinking that Yin was just stolen from his own people, so he made many troubles in the new house.
Qingyan was held in his arms by him, and his hands slapped rhythmically on her back, allowing her nervous back to slowly relax.
"44, who did you tell me about the connection between Tong Guowei and Yinsi?" Qingyan was very curious. Why could Tong Guowei stand by Yinsi without caring about Concubine Tong's face?
"It should be Niuhulu clan. I don't want to get that position, so the Niuhulu clan has already stood behind Yinsi." Yin sneered.
The Niuhulu family behind me has completely declined, with only a few descendants of the legitimate branch, and they still think that they can stand behind me.
"After Laba Festival, I feel that life is so slow, and I am busy every day!" Qingyan looked through the account book and felt infinite emotion.
Before, Qingyan was in the mansion and began to prepare things for the New Year. Since he came to the Old Summer Palace, Qingyan felt that he was much lazy and rarely managed these trivial matters. He just handed them over to the supervisor below to take charge.
"Yes, I've been spending my time busy. Xiaoguai, don't you think this year is different from previous years?" Yin asked as he looked at Qingyan.
Kangxi didn't even return to the palace and had to celebrate the New Year in Changchun Garden. This series of abnormal actions surprised Yin.
"Different?!" Qing Yan didn't understand what Yin meant, "I ordered a lot of things in Linglong Pavilion in Changchun Garden. The emperor seemed to have to completely renovate the place where he lived!"
"Has the list been sent?" Before the people from the Interior Affairs Office went to check out, the Qingyan had already started to prepare.
"Of course, I saw those lists. It's true that the New Year is coming. The Emperor has taken great pains to do it!" Qing Yan said in a mess.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has been ordering the New Year’s goods at Linglong Pavilion for several consecutive years. In the past few years, the quantity they ordered was very small, and this year it was different.
"How many are there?" Yin said suspiciously.
"It's probably three times that last year. Do you think that even the things used by the palace concubines have been delivered to me?" Qing Yan knew it well.
Yin took a few breaths of cold air. There were so many things. If there was a slightest disobedience to the rules, something was going to happen to Qingyan’s shop.
"So many, can you make sure that everything is qualified?" Yin looked at Qingyan seriously.
"There must be an inspection. I have arranged each link. Each time, three to five people come to check. Moreover, the name of each inspector must be signed on the inspection list. This will definitely not be faked!" Qingyan said directly.
After hearing this, Yin nodded with satisfaction. What Qingyan said was right and should be investigated carefully.
"And I must be wary of the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who do bad things for me. If you do business with the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you must have more thoughtful people, otherwise you will really suffer a loss!" Qingyan heard many merchants say that the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs often cause trouble, so I told the servants to be careful.
