As long as the effort is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle. This is said lightly, it must be said by those who have not sharpened the needle, it is definitely a fool's words, but there are really people who believe it, Yinzuo is one of them - worship Chen Tianyuan as a teacher for more than a month, seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, the snow is falling deeply, and Yinzuo's so-called martial arts practice every day is still on the running circle.

Early in the morning every day, before the chickens crow, Chen Tianyuan came to arrest people, nothing else, just running circles, but the fragrance of time is getting shorter and shorter, but the number of laps is getting more and more, just running circles is not enough, you have to stand on a pile after running circles, but Yinzuo's small body bones are tossed miserably, according to his own words, he is tired like a dog every day. Every time I asked Chen Tianyuan when he could start practicing internal skills, the answer he got was always: not in a hurry. No way, stay up, stay up, stay up, maybe one day you 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, and it happens that this year's Spring Festival is catching up with the 74th birthday of the Empress Dowager, which can be lively, the old man Kangxi ordered the national celebration early to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager, no, the congratulatory gifts sent by officials all over the country have already filled the treasury of the Cining Palace, but all precious and rare things are held in large trays at the moment, neatly arranged in the Cining Palace, waiting for the Empress Dowager to be born.

Although it is the Spring Festival today, Yinzuo still has not escaped Chen Tianyuan's poisonous hands, the third watch was driven to run the circle, the fifth watch occupies the pile, to the sixth watch, hurriedly freshened up, even breakfast is too late, hurriedly picked up a mysterious small box, hurried to Cining Palace, and scolded Chen Tianyuan in his heart for not being close to people - you can be late for school, you can take leave from the court, but you can give the queen mother a birthday, it is impossible to be late. No, Yinzuo just arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, there were already full of people, the old man Kangxi took the lead, all the elder brothers and Gege came, and even the brothers who were still nursing were also held in line by their mothers, and the princes, Baylor, and Beizi outside the palace also came, and more than 200 people stood on the ground with crows.

Yinzuo hurried and hurried, it was still late, but the old man Kangxi only squinted at the panting Yinzuo, and was not angry, but smiled at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand to let him enter the ranks, the old man knew that Yinzuo had been tortured enough by Chen Tianyuan these days, and he really appreciated Yinzuo's ability to endure hardships at such a young age.

The brothers are all well-informed, how could they not know what Yinzuo has been doing these days, and they laughed early behind their backs, and then they saw Yinzuo's embarrassment, and they all gloated with their eyebrows, if it weren't for the fact that this scene was too big, I am afraid that they would have laughed a long time ago. How can Yinzuo not know the thoughts of these brothers, but at the moment, he is up and down in his heart, and he can't care about these.

The sun finally rose, this is the first ray of sunshine of the new year, the golden light shines on the earth, sending a trace of warmth to the people after the snow, but Yinzuo is not in the mood to enjoy this warmth at the moment - the birthday ceremony has begun. Kowtowing, kneeling, and reciting eulogies, Yinzuo did all this mechanically among the brothers, and it was easy to wait for the most important moment of the ceremony-Shangshou, that is, these people closest to the Empress Dowager each offered their filial piety.

The first to send filial piety is of course Kangxi, nine treasures are held on a gilded tray, cushioned with red silk, and sent forward by the eunuchs to let the ancestors see it, any of which is a priceless treasure - up to three feet of jade glazed tower, fire tree silver flower (the whole body is clear, coral-like five-foot red jade is hung with various gems), coconut-sized night pearls and so on dazzling, followed by a few old princes, this is the turn of the brothers to show loyalty.

Yinren is the prince, ranking first among all the elder brothers, and what he sent was a pillow made of warm jade, warm in winter and cool in summer, invigorating blood and stasis, it is really a treasure. Xiaozhuang originally loved this great-grandson who had no mother since he was a child, and he kowtowed to Yinren with a smile, beckoned Yinren to his side, and asked for warmth in the cold, and stuffed a big red envelope, which made the other elder brothers live. Yinzuo didn't have any special feelings, but the other older brothers, especially the eldest brothers, didn't look good when they saw Yinren's favored appearance.

The first few elder brothers all gave 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, and it was finally Yinzuo's turn at this time. The ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, no matter if she is dead or alive. Yinzuo gritted his teeth and walked forward quickly, knelt on the ground, and said: "Great-grandson wishes the ancestors a long life, and longevity is the same as the sky." Ruthlessly, he reached out and opened the box in his hand and held it high above his head.

Inside the box was a topaz-handled toothbrush and a small silver box, the lid of the box 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 is standing next to his ancestor doesn't understand, even if he has lived three dynasties and has seen a lot of Xiaozhuang, he can't see what this weird-looking brush is for.

After being cold for a while, the old man Kangxi spoke: "Little Liu, this is the surprise you said?" "The old man still remembers the excuse that Yinzuo used when he was arrested when he left the palace without permission.

"Back to the emperor's words, this brush is called a toothbrush, this small silver box contains toothpaste, is a child's invention, its function is to clean the mouth, as well as health care and fire reduction effect, much better than the green salt. As the saying goes, it's good to have a good appetite, the child thinks, the ancestors are old, and it is not easy to use the trouble of rinsing with green salt, so people specially made this topaz toothbrush, but this toothpaste is prepared by the child himself, and I also consulted Sun Yizheng from the Tai Hospital, and the recipe definitely works. Well, Yinzuo took this opportunity to advertise, and even the famous toothpaste advertising slogan in later generations was plagiarized.

"Okay, it's rare that you have filial piety and think about your ancestors." Xiaozhuang smiled and motioned to the eunuch next to him to take the small box in Yinzuo's hand to his side, picked up the toothbrush and toothpaste box and looked at it for a while, and asked with a smile: "How to use this thing?" ”

Don't know, right? Hehe, this is our performance time, and it's time for us to see if our small business can be successful. Yinzuo took out a silver toothbrush and a small silver box from his bosom like a trick, and asked the eunuch of Cining Palace to fetch a glass of water and a basin. Yinzuo gently pushed a button on the small silver box, and a small hole was revealed on the side of the small silver box, and a toothpaste the thickness of broad beans was squeezed out, gently wiped on the toothbrush, rinsed his saliva, and brushed his teeth.

Not to mention, these old and young masters have never seen teeth brushed like this, all of them are very interested, Yinzuo took the opportunity to brag about it, what kind of fresh breath, teeth and teeth cleaning, anti-inflammatory and fire-reducing etc., these royal families fooled so much that they don't know the world, not only won the favor of the ancestors, but even the old man Kangxi was also moved, and ordered this thing to be treated as a tribute to the people in the palace.

The toothpaste toothbrush became a tribute, and the reputation was started, Yinzuo took the opportunity to send a set of customized silver toothbrushes to all the brothers and concubines to buy people's hearts, of course, the old man Kangxi sent the best gold and jade. As for those princes and high-ranking officials, hehe, I'm sorry, Brother Ben is not free, if you want to buy it, these two gadgets were popular in the capital for a while, and it didn't take long for them to spread all over the country, and Yinzuo also made a lot of money, and this first pot of gold was earned.
