Chapter 319 Sowing Discord

During the meal, Concubine De was also very enthusiastic towards Elder Fourteen, her chopsticks kept pinching into Elder Fourteen's bowl.

However, Concubine De was much colder towards Fourth Master and Ruoyin.

It's just that after rewarding a few children with some small items, they hardly talked much.

Ruoyin could feel that the mother-child relationship between fourth master and Concubine De had become more indifferent.

But at the same time, the dialogue between each other is much more polite.

That's how people are, throwing face at those close to them.

But be polite to strangers.

Anyway, Ruoyin treated Concubine De just like that now.

It's just maintaining the relationship between the royal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the only dignity.

Fourth master had a cold face the whole time. After lunch, he didn't want to stay longer, so he took Ruoyin and the others back home.

Not long after Concubine De's birthday, it was Kangxi's birthday again.

For Kangxi, Ruoyin prepared a birthday gift early.

This gift to Kangxi is more difficult than the gift to fourth master.

If fourth master didn't like the gift she gave, he basically wouldn't say anything, at most he would be cold to her.

But if you give a gift that Kangxi doesn't like, you will be reprimanded in public.

While losing face, they will also be ridiculed.

On the day of Kangxi's birthday, Ruoyin and fourth master rode a carriage to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the palace early.

At this time, the eunuch was reporting the gift from Ruoyin and Si Ye: "Si Bei Le and Si Fujin, present a gilt-inlaid collection treasure tripod for longevity, and a jar of treasured medicinal wine."

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the center of the hall.

I saw that the longevity gilt inlaid collection treasure tripod, no matter in shape or appearance, it looks extraordinarily grand.

It was the small jar of wine that seemed a bit out of place.

It doesn't look gray, it's just a wine jar made of ordinary clay, which is not suitable for such a magnificent Hall of Supreme Harmony at all.

The top is also only covered with red cloth, and a rhombus-shaped red paper is pasted on the jar, with various medicinal materials written on it.

Seeing this, the rest of the princes were somewhat disdainful.

Xin said that wine is not a good thing, as for presenting it as a gift, do you still use such a rustic jar?

As everyone knows, good wine should be stored in this kind of jar.

Kangxi was different. As soon as he heard that it was medicinal wine, he asked someone to pour a glass and taste it.

Seeing this, Master Jiu reminded earnestly: "Huang Ama, drinking too much alcohol will hurt your health, you'd better drink less."

He looked filial in every way and thought of Kangxi's body.

In fact, it is sowing discord.

Kangxi glanced at Master Jiu lightly, and there was a flash of sharpness in his eyes.

Immediately, he took the cup of wine poured by the servant, and said lightly: "It's okay."

Kangxi first sniffed it carefully, and a strong smell of wine rushed straight to the tip of his nose.

Among them, there is also the taste of various medicinal materials.

Immediately afterwards, he drank half a cup and tasted it.

"Well, this wine has a rich and mellow taste, sweet and soft in the throat, with a long tail, and a lingering fragrance." Kangxi nodded, affirmatively.

Ruoyin replied with a smile: "Since Huang Ama likes it, from now on my daughter-in-law will ask the people in the Zhuangzi to send something to the palace every month to honor you."

"Chuang Tzu?" Kangxi's originally easy-going eyebrows raised in surprise.

"That's right, this wine is brewed by the servants of the Zhuangzi's daughter-in-law's dowry, and brewed with various medicinal materials. The daughter-in-law knows that Huang Ama fought many victories on horseback when he was young, but As a result, I suffered a lot of injuries. My daughter-in-law's medicinal wine is warm in nature and is specially made for Huang Ama. It tastes pungent but bitter and sweet. The effect of fatigue." As for gift-giving, it is natural to say that the greatest effect of gifts.

Let the recipient feel 100% sincerity.

Otherwise, no matter how good a gift is, without a clever compliment, it would appear insipid.

At first, Kangxi thought that the medicinal wine was bought outside.

Now after hearing Ruoyin's words, he looked at the wine cup in front of him and took another sip.

Then he said: "Old Si Fujin, this medicinal wine is really good, I like it very much. It seems that you can not only take care of the household chores, but also run the village. Not many people in the palace can make this kind of good wine. come out."

As soon as these words came out, the other princes and prince Fujin had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Come on, last year, the fourth Fujin won the first place with a large cake on Kangxi's birthday.

This year, he bought Huang Ama's heart with food again.

The seemingly ordinary medicinal wine has received such high praise.

Hearing this, Ruoyin smiled coyly, and said embarrassedly: "The emperor's mother-in-law has praised her a lot. My daughter-in-law can't do enough to manage the house, let alone manage the Zhuangzi. I lost all the Zhuangzi given by my ama. Now There is only such a winery left, and it was almost going to collapse, but now it can only be regarded as a turning point."

When Kangxi heard this, instead of blaming him, he smiled heartily.

The rest of the princes and officials also roared with laughter.

This kind of laughter is not the kind of ridicule.

But it's funny from the bottom of my heart.

As for the princes, they probably thought Ruoyin was a powerful character.

In the end, I heard that Zhuangzi had fallen to the point where there was only one family left, and he didn't look any better than the women in their house.

In the royal family, remember that the limelight is too strong.

A lot of short-lived ones are basically too popular.

However, straw bags are always welcome.

After all, everyone hates teammates who are like pigs.

For friends and foes who like pigs.

Just like the idiot old ten, he can be said to be the stupidest among the brothers.

But he was treated like a group pet by a few black-bellied brothers.

Every time when Kangxi tested the princes, it was like dozens of kings passing through with a bronze.

Seeing that everyone was laughing happily, Ruoyin sat down pretending to be embarrassed.

Fourth master was satisfied with Ruoyin's performance.

The advantages and disadvantages are both obvious, and they will not be too showy.

After all, it was his Fujin, whose style was almost the same as his.

But as soon as Ruoyin sat down, the voice of the third master came from beside him: "Fourth brother, if I knew Huang Ama likes to drink so much, I would send someone to bring a jar of good wine."

Fourth Master: "..."

The third master is just a chatterbox. If he has something to say, he is in a panic.

Even if the fourth master ignored him, he still chattered and said: "You don't know, there is a winery in the capital, which sells many kinds of wine. It is rumored that the medicinal wine there is like magic medicine. Many people with minor problems, After drinking a jar of wine, my waist will not be sore or my legs will hurt, and I can climb the highest mountain in Beijing in one breath."

"Third brother, you are a educated person anyway, why don't you even believe that kind of deceptive tricks." Originally, the fourth master didn't intend to respond.

But the third master spoke so miraculously that he couldn't hold back anymore.

The third master said disapprovingly: "How could it be a fake? The winery is called Wangyou Winery. I have bought several jars, and the effect is very good. After drinking it, all worries and illnesses are gone. .”
