Chapter 321 Following Sixth Brother, Glory and Wealth Abound
Although Yinzhen was constantly complaining and complaining, he was not Yinzhuo after all. As the younger brother, could he give his ninth brother a good beating like his sixth brother did? The answer was obviously no. So even if he was anxious and angry at the moment, he still had to sit down and talk to him properly.
"Hey Ninth Brother, is your head full of water? Come on, shake it and let me hear if it's gurgling. Sixth Brother's words were so clear, are you really not understanding or are you pretending to be confused? What good is it if you think Eighth Brother is good? Only if Father thinks he's good will it matter."
Yin's words were like a blow to the head, hitting Yin Tang hard. Seeing his bewildered expression, Yin understood. So, what the other person had been doing wasn't pretending to be confused, but simply being completely clueless. Thinking of this, Yin's heart, which had been pounding since leaving Shufeng Pavilion, finally died... Well, his ninth brother was even worse than him.
"Ninth Brother, let me ask you, if you had to choose one of us brothers who knows Khan the most, who would you choose?"
Yinzhen was taken aback by Yinzhen's words. He looked at Yinzhen as if he were an idiot and said irritably.
"Is there even a question? Of course it's Sixth Brother. He grew up with Father Khan, and when it comes to understanding Father Khan, even Second Brother, the Crown Prince, might not be as knowledgeable as him..."
Halfway through his sentence, Yinzhen suddenly realized something. He first raised his hand to lift the carriage curtain and waved for the guards to move away before turning to look at Yinzhen sitting opposite him.
"Tenth Prince, are you saying that even if the Crown Prince were to fall one day, the one Father Emperor favors as the Crown Prince would not be Eighth Prince?"
Upon hearing this, Yin put down the teacup he had been playing with, looked up and gave Ninth Brother a sharp look, the meaning of which was clearly a warning: What are you yelling about? As if you want others to know what we're rambling about.
"What do I mean? I don't mean anything by that. You said those words, what does it have to do with me? All I know is that following Sixth Brother will bring wealth and honor."
There's a saying that goes, "The words may be rough, but the meaning is sound." Even though Yinzhen felt indignant for Yinsi, he knew that what Yinzhen said was absolutely right. His sixth brother was indeed a rare and good elder brother. Although he himself was unwilling to get too involved in court affairs, he would still help his close younger brothers whenever he had the chance. For example, he and Yinzhen, the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers. If it weren't for his sixth brother, they probably wouldn't have any proper jobs and would be idle all day long.
Seeing that Yinzhen seemed lost in thought, Yinzhen did not disturb him. He waited until Yinzhen's expression returned to normal before taking a cup from the side, pouring tea, and pushing it in front of his ninth brother.
“Ninth Brother, you were right about something you said earlier. If anyone in this world can truly understand even a fraction of Father's thoughts, it's definitely Sixth Brother. He's different from us. We are his subjects, while he is his son. Subject and son, though seemingly only one word apart, are worlds apart. There's an insurmountable wall between Father and us, but he's completely unguarded around Sixth Brother. Do you think Sixth Brother has eyes and ears that can see a thousand miles and hear everything we do without ever leaving the house? He gets his information from Father. So, Ninth Brother, I advise you not to be too clever for your own good and end up getting yourself into trouble. Father is watching everything we do…”
The thought that his every word and action over the past two years would be regularly displayed on his father's desk sent a chill down Yin Tang's spine. He picked up the tea that Yin Yi had pushed over and took a few sips before his mind calmed down. He looked up at Yin Yi, who was examining the ornaments in his carriage, and couldn't help but admire his sixth brother's keen eye for people. His tenth brother was indeed wise beyond his years.
"Tenth Brother, you're right. Following Sixth Brother will indeed bring wealth and honor. But since you're always hanging out with Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother can't let you suffer any losses. Ninth Brother may not have much else, but he has plenty of money. So, you don't need to pay back the 400,000 taels of silver you took from me earlier. If you ever need money in the future, just come to Ninth Brother. With our relationship, I promise I won't let you leave empty-handed."
Although Yinzhen had no intention of repaying his ninth brother the 400,000 taels of silver, he still grinned and thanked his ninth brother after hearing Yinzhen's words. After all, he could distinguish between being a deadbeat and a creditor voluntarily waiving a debt.
After a long and pleasant conversation, the two brothers, Yinzhi and Yinzhuo, were in a harmonious and happy atmosphere. Yinzhuo, on the other hand, had completely forgotten about the matter after taking a nap. Look, he's directing everyone in the yard to pick tomatoes right now.
"Dexi, these two baskets are gifts I personally selected for my maternal grandmother. Please take them to Chunhui Hall later. Don't forget to tell her that my wound is healed and she shouldn't worry. Also, these two baskets are for my mother; remember to send them back to the palace later. These are for my elder brother and his family to try, one basket each. Keep half of the rest, and send the rest to Enze Garden for the Fujin (wife). Hongxu loves tomato sauce; let him have his fill this time..."
Yinzhuo's Shufeng Pavilion was never short of servants. Almost as soon as he gave an order, Dexi would immediately arrange for someone to carry it out. As soon as Yinzhuo finished speaking, most of the pile of tomatoes that had been placed in the open space of the courtyard had already been sent away. Yinzhuo glanced at the people who were still working in the small garden, bent down and picked up the two baskets of tomatoes at his feet, and gestured to Dexi with his lip.
"Dexi, you don't need to follow me anymore. After delivering the things to Chunhui Hall, go directly to Qingxi Study to find me. Eunuch Wanquan, let's go too. Tonight, I want to see Tomato on the table, do you understand?"
"I understand, of course I understand. You mean these two baskets of tomatoes must be completely ruined today, right?" Wan Quan nodded repeatedly without hesitation at Yinzhuo's almost unreasonable request. If you ask him why he was so accepting, well, it's still the same old saying: "Better to sacrifice your friends than yourself." After all, to put it another way, it's the chefs in the imperial kitchen who are in a difficult position, not him.
Yinzhuo simply made his demands; how to achieve them was clearly not within his consideration. He shoved the two baskets of tomatoes into Wan Quan's hands, put his hands behind his back, and strolled off towards the outside of the small garden. Wan Quan glanced down at the baskets he was carrying, silently apologized to the chefs in the imperial kitchen, and then, with a clear conscience, took the baskets and went to make things difficult for them.
If you ask where the safest place in Changchun Garden is, you don't need to ask; it's definitely Qingxi Study. Shufeng Pavilion is just a few steps away from Qingxi Study. Yinzhu didn't need to bring anyone with him; he just strolled around and soon found himself standing at the entrance of Qingxi Study.
"Father, are you still busy? My son just picked the tomatoes from my little garden, and I asked Grandpa Wanquan to take two baskets of tomatoes to the kitchen. We're having a tomato feast tonight. Are you happy?"
