Chapter 200 The difference between those who can speak and those who can't is huge.
As the saying goes, it's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone. Now that there's someone else to share the joy, if his father causes trouble for him later, there will be someone else to help share the burden, right? Although Yinzhuo felt that his father must know that he was fishing here by now.
Yinqi ultimately couldn't resist Yinzuo's temptations and couldn't help but join him in his evil ways. Of course, he was relatively lucky this time, as he didn't suffer the torment of his father's love afterward.
After the fishing incident, Yinzhuo was quite peaceful for a long time. Every day, apart from going to his father's place to report for duty, he would either wander around the gardens in the western suburbs with his guards Akshang and Hatu, or go to the Yajixuan in the capital to book a private room, order a pot of tea and some tea and snacks, and sit there all day.
Yinzhi is right. The new storyteller at Yajixuan is indeed quite skilled. That guy has hooked up with Yinzhuo. If Kangxi didn't know what kind of person his son was, he would have thought that he was going to some brothel every day.
Yinzhuo's carefree life continued until the first snow fell in the capital, at which point it came to an abrupt end. He felt that his small frame was really not suitable for going out and showing off in the freezing cold, otherwise he would fall ill and suffer the consequences himself.
“Dexi, go find our tent and set it up in our yard. Then invite your Ninth Master, Tenth Master, Thirteenth Master, and Fourteenth Master over. Tell them I’m bored and invited them over to pass the time.”
What does it mean to have a call to arms? That's exactly what Yinzhuo's influence was like. As soon as Yinzhuo sent someone over, even though it was still snowing outside, Yintang, Yin'e, the thirteenth, and the fourteenth all came running.
"Sixth Brother, why did you bring out your shabby tent again in this cold weather? There are plenty of places to kill time, why did you have to come to this tent?"
It seemed that the snow outside was quite heavy. When Yinzhen came in, his cloak and hat were covered with a lot of snow. Seeing that he looked like a snowman, Yinzuo quickly asked Dexi to help him brush off the snowflakes. Yinzhen took off his cloak and hat and handed them to Dexi, then walked towards where Yinzuo was sitting.
"Is this what you call cold? Haven't you heard the saying, 'It's not cold when it snows, it's cold when the snow melts'? Why did you have to come to this tent? I have to say, Lao Jiu, you're just too vulgar. Snowmelt is sweet and clear, filling wells and springs. Bring your own tea stove and brew it. Don't you understand the meaning of this?"
What the hell? Is he vulgar? Artistic conception? Sorry, he really doesn't understand. What artistic conception is there in brewing tea in this freezing cold? Of course, although Yinzhen didn't quite understand, he said he would absolutely respect his sixth brother's wishes. After all, he couldn't disrespect him, because his own opinion was never important.
"Oh my, Sixth Brother, you're in such a refined mood today. The snow is falling heavily outside, and this scene is perfect for brewing tea with firewood and snow, surrounded by pine and bamboo, and enjoying the passing years. In short, it's elegant."
Look, the difference between someone who can speak well and someone who can't is huge. With Yin Tang's excellent example, Yin Yan's words, though superficial, have won over his sixth brother's heart. Yin Zuo glared at Yin Tang, who was still pouting and unconvinced, and then looked at Yin Yan, who was smiling brightly. It goes without saying who his heart favors.
"Ninth Brother, stop pouting. Didn't you see Tenth Brother has been standing there for ages? Move over to the empty space and make room for him..."
What the hell? Who's he making room for? If I remember correctly, he's the older brother, right? Have you ever seen a younger brother come and ask his older brother to make room for him? Although Yinzhen was practically jumping up and down inside, in reality he could only hold his nose, get up, and move to the side. Then he watched his sixth brother warmly greet the tenth prince, taking the seat he had been sitting in. Not only did his sixth brother take over, but he even poured him a cup of tea himself...
"Hmph, bootlicker, hypocrite..."
Although Yinzhen's muttering wasn't loud, his sixth brother's ears were sharp enough. No sooner had he finished speaking than his sixth brother's big potsticker arrived, and that guy really put in a lot of force, slapping Yinzhen's back with a loud thud.
"What is a sycophant? What is hypocrisy? This is called providing emotional value, you know? You not only don't learn from them, but you even dare to mock them. Ninth Prince, I'm not criticizing you, but with your emotional intelligence and way of speaking, if you weren't a prince, you would probably have been beaten to death by now."
Although Yinzhu was scolding Yintang, he didn't expect his words to change Yintang's temperament. The thirteenth and fourteenth arrived quite quickly. Almost as soon as Yinzhu finished speaking, the two snowmen crawled in from outside.
"Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, you're all here! It's so cold outside! Quick, quick, make room for us, I need to warm myself up by the fire..."
Seeing that the Fourteenth Prince was about to cling to him with his snow-covered body, Yinzhu quickly stopped him. He then asked Dexi to help them brush off the snow, take off their cloaks and hats, and clean the soles of their shoes before inviting them to sit down beside him.
"Sixth Brother, if you ask me, you're just being fussy. I only have a little snow on my shoes, is your carpet so precious..."
"Alright, no need to look, this is another one who can't stand to hear me." Yinzhuo reached out and grabbed a handful of roasted chestnuts, stuffing them into the Fourteenth Prince's hand, and glared at him irritably.
"Just eat your food. If you don't talk, no one will sell you off for being mute. Look at that thirteen-year-old, and look at you. He's only two years older than you, but he's so much more mature. You call me a fussy person? Why don't you just say that you live a rough life?"
It's no wonder that Fourteenth Brother is so stubborn. After being slapped by his Sixth Brother, he became obedient. Yinzhuo didn't just call them over today to sit around the stove, brew tea, and enjoy the snow. There's a saying that goes, "When it snows, the geese suffer." For Yinzhuo, it meant that if it snowed, they would definitely have to eat stewed geese.
"You guys eat and drink as you please. After you've eaten and drunk your fill, go outside and help Dexi set up the sky curtain. Dexi, now go and have someone catch a few geese outside, and then go to the imperial kitchen to get some spare ribs. Also, have them cook a few of their signature dishes and send them over in a bit. Today is the first snow of the winter, so I need to call all the brothers over to have some fun with me."
It has to be said that our Prince Zhao is really popular. He said he wanted his brothers to have some fun with him, and everyone really gave him face. As soon as it got dark, everyone arrived without missing a single drink.
"Wow, our little sixth son has become much more sensible lately. He even knows to greet his older brother at the door now. Not bad, not bad..."
Faced with Yinti's teasing, Yinzuo played along, raising his hand to bow to his elder brother.
"Of course, I'm always so sensible. How could I not come out to greet you, elder brother? Come, let me lift the curtain for you. Please come in, elder brother..."
