Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 9

as long as you try very hard, you can achieve anything.This is said lightly, it must be said by those who have never sharpened needles, and it is definitely a fool's words, but there are really people who believe it, and Yinzuo is one of them--I have been worshiping Chen Tianyuan as my teacher for more than a month, and the Spring Festival is coming. When the time came, the snow was falling deeply, and Yinzuo's so-called martial arts practice every day was still in the running circle.

Every morning, before the rooster crows, Chen Tianyuan comes to arrest people, nothing else, just running laps, but the scent of time is getting shorter and shorter, and the number of laps is getting more and more. Running circles is not enough, and you have to stand upright after running circles, but Yinzuo's small body is tossed miserably. According to his own words, he is as tired as a dog every day.Every time Chen Tianyuan was asked when he could start practicing internal skills, the answer he got was always: no rush.It's okay, let's endure it, endure it, endure it, maybe one day I will become a mother-in-law.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival has always been the most solemn festival of the year. It just so happens that this year’s Spring Festival coincides with the Empress Dowager’s 74th birthday. No, the congratulatory gifts from officials from all over the country have already filled the warehouse of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, but all the precious and rare things are stored on large trays at this moment, and they are neatly arranged in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, just waiting to be given to Mrs. The Empress Dowager is on her birthday.

Even though it was the Spring Festival today, Yin Zuo still couldn't escape Chen Tianyuan's murderous hands. He was driven to run circles at the third watch, occupied the pile at the fifth watch, and hurriedly cleaned up at the sixth watch. He didn't even have time for breakfast. Hastily picked up a mysterious little box, and rushed to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, scolding Chen Tianyuan for being unkind in his heart—you can be late for school, and you can ask for leave when you go to the court, but it’s no big deal to give the empress dowager a birthday. Never be late.No, Yinzuo has just arrived at the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and the place was already full of people. Mr. Kangxi took the lead, and all elder brothers and princesses came, even those elder brothers who were still breastfeeding. Hugging and queuing up in the queue, the princes, Baylor, and Beizi from outside the palace also came. More than 200 people stood on the ground in a crowd. Only the royal family with a close relationship can pay their respects first. If you don't have a name, you can only pray in your own home.

Yin Zuo hurried, it was still a bit late after all, but the old man Kangxi just glanced sideways at the panting Yin Zuo, and was not angry. Instead, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and waved him to join the queue. The old man knew Yin Zuo earlier Being tortured by Chen Tianyuan these days, I really appreciate Yin Zuo's ability to endure hardship at such a young age.

Brothers are all well-informed, how can they not know what happened to Yinzuo these days, they laughed behind their backs, and now they saw Yinzuo's distressed appearance, and they all winked and gloated, if it weren't for the big scene, I'm afraid I would have laughed out loud.How could Yinzuo not know what these brothers were thinking, but at the moment his heart was in a state of turmoil, and he couldn't care less about these things.

The sun has finally risen. This is the first ray of sunshine in the new year. The golden light shines on the earth, sending a little warmth to the people after the snow, but Yin Zuo is not in the mood to enjoy this warmth at the moment——Birthday Blessing Ceremony here we go.Kowtowing, kneeling, and chanting eulogies, Yin Zuo was doing all these mechanically among his elder brothers, and finally waited until the most important moment in the grand ceremony—Shangshou, when the closest people of the Empress Dowager offered their filial piety .

Of course, Kangxi was the first to offer filial piety. Nine treasures were held on gold-plated trays and covered with red silk. The three-foot emerald glazed pagoda, fiery trees and silver flowers (transparent, coral-like five-foot red jade covered with various gemstones), coconut-sized night pearls, etc. are dazzling, followed by a few old princes. It's the brothers' turn to show their loyalty.

Yinfeng is the crown prince, ranked first among all elder brothers, and what he presented was a pillow made of a whole piece of warm jade, warm in winter and cool in summer, promoting blood circulation and clearing stasis, it is really a treasure.Xiaozhuang originally loved this great-grandson who lost his mother since he was a child, and he received Yinreng's kowtow with a smile, and beckoned Yinreng to his side. The other brothers are celebrating their birthdays.Yinzuo didn't feel anything special, but the other elder brothers, especially the elder brother, didn't look very good when they saw Yinreng being favored.

The first few elder brothers all presented their filial piety, and the ancestors of Xiaozhuang also accepted the gifts with a smile, but they were not as affectionate as they were with the second elder brother. Now it was finally Yinzuo's turn.An ugly daughter-in-law has to see her parents-in-law, regardless of whether she is dead or alive.Yinzuo gritted his teeth and walked forward quickly, knelt down on the ground, and said: "Great-grandson wishes the ancestors a long life without bounds, and a life as long as the sky." Relentlessly stretched out his hand and opened the box in his hand, holding it high above his head .

Inside the box was a toothbrush with a topaz handle and a small silver box with a lid that made it impossible to see what was inside.Except for Yinzuo, no one knows what the toothbrush is, not to mention that the old man Kangxi who stood by the ancestor didn't understand, even the well-informed Xiaozhuang who lived for three dynasties couldn't see the strange appearance. What is the use of the brush.

After a while of silence, old man Kangxi said: "Xiao Liu, is this the surprise you said?" The old man still remembers the excuse Yin Zuo used when he left the palace without permission and was arrested earlier.

"In the words of Huihuang Ama, this brush is called a toothbrush, and this small silver box contains toothpaste, which is a child's invention. Its function is to clean the mouth, and it also has the effect of health care and reducing fire, which is much better than green salt. As the saying goes, good teeth are good for appetite, I thought, my ancestors are getting old, and it’s troublesome to use blue salt to rinse their mouths, so they made this topaz toothbrush specially, but this toothpaste was prepared by myself. I also consulted Dr. Sun Yizheng of the Imperial Hospital, that prescription will definitely work." Yes, Yin Zuo took this opportunity to advertise, and even plagiarized the famous toothpaste advertisement in later generations.

"Okay, it's rare that you little monkey has filial piety and misses your ancestors." Xiaozhuang smiled and motioned to the eunuch beside him to take the small box in Yinzuo's hand to him, picked up the toothbrush and toothpaste box and looked at it for a while, then asked with a smile Said: "How to use this thing?"

Don't know?Hey, it's time for our show next, we'll see if our small business can be successful this time.Yinzuo took out a silver toothbrush and a small silver box from his arms like a magic trick, and asked the eunuch of the Compassionate Ning Palace to fetch a glass of water and a washbasin.Yin Zuo lightly pushed a button on the small silver box, a small hole was exposed on the side of the small silver box, a strip of broad bean-thick toothpaste was squeezed out, gently wiped on the toothbrush, rinsed his mouth, and brushed I gritted my teeth.

Not to mention, these young and old people have never seen someone who can brush their teeth like this, and they are all very interested. Yinzuo took the opportunity to brag, such as fresh breath, teeth cleaning, anti-inflammatory and fire-reducing, etc. Fooling these royal families so that they don't know the world, not only won the favor of the ancestors, but even the old man Kangxi was moved, and ordered this thing to be a tribute, and some of the people in the palace would come.

Toothpaste and toothbrush became a tribute, and the reputation was established. Yin Zuo took the opportunity to send a set of customized silver toothbrushes to all the elder brothers and concubines to win people's hearts. Of course, the ones given by Mr. Kangxi were gold inlaid with jade best.As for those princes Baylor and senior officials, hey, I’m sorry, my elder brother is not free, just buy it with money if you want, these two gadgets became popular in the capital in a short time, and spread all over the country in a short time , Yin Zuo made a fortune because of this, and the first pot of gold was earned.
