Chapter 445 Grand View Garden Faction Battle 2
Do you think Yinzhen and Xichun are similar?
"Proficient in Buddhism?"
During the live stream, everyone successfully found their "guardian" figures. Suo'etu pulled Jia Cong, who was silently staring blankly and pretending to be a mushroom, out of the corner, while Yinzhi pulled Jia Yingchun out of the battle between maids and wet nurses.
"Does Suo'etu resemble Jia Cong? Does the elder brother resemble Yingchun?"
Yin Zhi asked another question.
Yin Tang hesitated, glancing at the irritable Suo'etu and the quail-like Jia Cong in his hand, then at the carefree Yin Zhi and the nearly crying Ying Chun. He closed his eyes, wondering if it was too late to change his mind and say that Suo'etu resembled his elder brother.
"Alright," Yinreng slowly stopped Yinzhi, it was hard to say that he didn't mean to make fun of the Ninth Prince, "It's not similarity, it's that we met first."
Yinreng carefully observed how the eight people completed the task. Not everyone had a clue like Yinzhen's; they found their so-called "protected object." Rather than the game being pre-set, it was more a matter of luck.
See who they encounter first.
Kangxi clearly saw this as well. He thought about it more deeply and couldn't help but frown slightly. He asked hesitantly, "If the so-called object of protection is not fixed, then is the camp fixed?"
Upon hearing this, the hearts of those present skipped a beat. Therefore, the live stream initially displayed "Lingbo Sect VS Qing Dynasty Royal Family." However, this could refer to the two participating parties, rather than actual factions within the game.
If that's really the case, how can the game continue?
[All players have completed prerequisite quest 1; live stream view selection is now enabled.]
A new notification appeared, and everyone discovered that eight selectable camera angles had appeared in the live stream in front of them. They no longer needed to wait for the camera to shift; they could watch whichever angle they wanted.
"I think it's Eighth Brother!"
"I see a myna bird!"
The group spoke in unison, and Kangxi turned his head, realizing once again how popular Yinzhi was; he was even a little jealous.
Before he could even speak to mediate, the group had already made their own allocations.
"Play rock-paper-scissors, the two winners get to see the eighth brother."
"Can."
Everyone accepted Yinreng's suggestion, and soon, Yinqi grinned happily and gave Yinyou a high five.
Of the remaining five, Yinzhi led Yinzuo to watch Yinzhen's shots, Yinreng led Yintang to watch Yinti's shots, and Kangxi led Yin to watch Suo'etu's shots.
"That's settled then. If any problems arise, please communicate promptly. Father Emperor, is that alright?"
Having been arranged in a perfectly clear manner, Kangxi met Yinreng's questioning gaze and nodded silently. What could he say?
Does he only deserve to see Suo'etu?
The aggrieved Kangxi looked at Yin, who was reluctantly sitting down, and became even more displeased. What, you brat, are you not happy about it? Look, look with me!
...
Can you read?
Facing the "fierce" Yinzhi, Yingchun nodded tremblingly and answered softly, "I know him."
"very good."
Yinzhi tried to offer a gentler smile, but Yingchun, seeing his stiff expression, felt even more like crying. Afraid of causing trouble, Yingchun couldn't understand how she had suddenly acquired such a servant. But since Yinzhi had already dealt with her wet nurse, who had previously been able to control her, Yingchun dared not utter a word of protest.
Her current attitude is completely like, "You can't hit me now that you've hit the wet nurse."
Yinzhi awkwardly suppressed his smile; he didn't want to start a fight right away and leave a bad impression on his "protected one." But what he saw immediately was his wet nurse acting arrogantly, stealing his master's belongings and then blaming him.
Can he tolerate this?
Then he thought, "We've already identified someone to protect, so this is the time to protect them!" So he stepped in.
Although his methods might have been a little too direct and crude, he assured me that his intentions were good.
However, seeing Yingchun's frightened expression, Yinzhi felt somewhat annoyed. He didn't have time to explain and could only try to complete the task first.
"Come on, I'll take you to get an inscription."
"Where...where are we going?" Perhaps realizing that Yinzhi's attitude towards her wasn't too bad, Yingchun asked weakly.
Yinzhi spoke directly: "The Grand View Garden."
Yingchun looked somewhat embarrassed and twisted the handkerchief in her hand as she explained, "Grand View Garden... it's not my turn to write an inscription, Baoyu does."
"Why shouldn't your garden be yours?" Yinzhi asked matter-of-factly. "Tell me, where is this?"
Yingchun tentatively replied, "The Rongguo Mansion?"
“That’s right! The Rongguo Mansion! Your father is Jia She, the rightful head of the Rongguo Mansion. Although he’s no longer a marquis, he’s still a first-rank general.”
Yinzhi spoke with conviction and an air of self-righteousness that left Yingchun somewhat bewildered.
"What's wrong with the daughter of a first-rank general writing an inscription for her own garden? Aren't you far more qualified than the son of a fifth-rank official?"
"Yeah?"
"Of course! Listen to me! Just come with me!"
...
"So what if he's a son of a concubine? Can the legitimate son of a fifth-rank official compare to the illegitimate son of a first-rank general?"
Regardless of one's stance, Suo'etu was focused solely on winning the game. The principles of loyalty and hierarchy were irrelevant; they were completely unimportant in the game!
He grabbed the hesitant Jia Cong and tucked him under his arm, striding forward: "Listen to me, no one is more qualified to write this inscription than you!"
“I’ll walk myself.” Jia Cong tried to struggle.
"With your short legs, you'll walk so slowly. I'll carry you."
After thrashing around a couple more times, Jia Cong gave a speechless twitch of his lips. It was the first time he'd ever heard of a hug like this: "Thank you..."
"You're welcome, it was nothing."
"never mind."
Having given up struggling, Jia Cong clung to Suo'etu's arm like a mushroom that had lost its soul, letting him carry him around.
...
“Miss Lin, the Grand View Garden is now complete and its scenery is exquisite. I think you are exceptionally talented, why don’t you inscribe something to add a touch of elegance to the garden?”
Upon hearing Yinzhi's words, Lin Daiyu put down her book, looked up at Yinzhi with a hint of sorrow in her eyes, and said softly, "I am merely a guest in the Jia family. How can I meddle in such important matters of the master's household?"
Yinzhi shook his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Miss, you're being too polite. The Lin family also contributed to the construction of the Grand View Garden; every single tree and blade of grass cost them their money. As the daughter of the Lin family, how could you not go?"
Hearing these familiar words, Lin Daiyu immediately recalled the gossip of the servants in the Jia family in the past, such as "She's just a dependent, her food, clothing and daily necessities all depend on the Jia family," which pierced her heart like needles.
Her eyes instantly reddened, tears welled up in them, and her face was filled with sorrow.
Yinzhi, seemingly oblivious, continued, “Others who spend money at least get some recognition. It’s unreasonable for a young lady to spend money and then suffer mistreatment in this Jia mansion. In my opinion, the young lady should boldly inscribe a piece of calligraphy so that those arrogant servants in the Jia mansion can see how this garden was built.”
Lin Daiyu's heart stirred slightly, and she forced a smile. Looking at Yinzhi's serious expression, she couldn't help but say, "You're so stingy. What a coincidence, I'm a stingy person too."
After saying this, Lin Daiyu got up and followed Yinzhi towards the Grand View Garden.
