While Yinzhi and his men were leading troops outside, they would fight over a jar of pickles and hot sauce as if it were some kind of delicacy, while Yinzuo was living a very comfortable life in the capital. Because of his shoulder injury, he had difficulty in moving, and although he could not stroll around the capital like before, his Enze Garden was very large. Even if he took Tianlang, Thirteen, and Fourteen to explore a little bit every day, it would be enough for them to explore for a month or so. What's more, it was freezing outside, and he didn't want to go out at all.
"Sixth brother, let's go out for a walk, okay? We've been in Enze Garden for two months and haven't left the house yet."
Yinzuo glanced sideways at Thirteen, who sat beside him with his chin propped up, bored, and then at Fourteen, who was whimpering while hugging his uninjured arm. He felt helpless too. "No, you two must have forgotten why you came here. Can't I just be quiet? Wasn't the purpose of my mother sending you two here to keep me from running around? How come the one who was thinking about running around every day is the one who's gone?"
In the two months since moving to Enze Garden, both Crown Prince Yinreng and Concubine De have sent imperial physicians to visit several times. Yinzuo's shoulder injury has recovered well. Last month, after a consultation with several imperial physicians, it was confirmed that there was nothing serious. The reason why he still stayed in the garden so honestly was that he felt it was too cold outside. Now that the weather is getting warmer, since Thirteen and Fourteen can't stay here anymore, it's okay for them to go out for a walk.
"Okay, you just want to go out, right? This is not easy to do. You two should go back and change your clothes now. After you change, we will go out in a while."
Seeing that Yinzuo had given in, Thirteenth stopped being bored and Fourteenth stopped whining. They quickly got up and went back to their own yard to change clothes. After seeing them leave, Yinzuo called Dexi to come and clean up for him.
As the weather got warmer, there were obviously more people on the streets. Thirteen and Fourteen had been holding it in for such a long time. Even though Yinzuo had given them many warnings before they came out, they completely lost control when they saw the bustling scene on the street.
"Sixth brother, look at this kite, how about we buy one and take it home?"
"Wow, this ball is so beautiful. Sixth brother, shall we buy one for Tianlang to play with?"
"Sixth brother, look, there's a monkey show over there. Let's go take a look."
These two people wanted to buy everything they saw. Dexi followed them with his men. Not only was he responsible for paying, but he also had to help them carry things. Thirteen and Fourteen were good fighters, and soon Dexi could no longer carry much.
"Akshan, go help Dexi share the burden. Hatu, go follow Thirteen and Fourteen. There are a lot of people here, so don't get lost."
With Akshang and Hatu following him, Yinzuo naturally felt relieved. After all, Akshang was able to remain calm in the face of a tiger. How could Thirteen and Fourteen be more powerful than a tiger? It would be easy for him to deal with these two little guys.
"Dexi, there's a tea stall over there. Go see if there's any space. If there is, let's go over there and sit down."
After walking with his son for a while, Yinzuo felt tired. He looked around and found a tea stall not far away. They were lucky because someone was leaving when Dexi went there, so he hurriedly called Yinzuo to bring people over.
"Boss, please bring a pot of hot water and a few teacups. You don't need tea leaves, as we brought our own. Don't worry, we'll pay you according to the price of tea."
Yinzuo watched Dexi skillfully walk up to the boss and talk to him, then brought hot water and tea bowls, washed the tea bowls and teapot with quick movements, and then took out tea leaves from the small bag he carried with him and poured water to make tea. He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Dexi, do you even bring tea with you when you go out? Why haven't I seen you take it out before?"
Dexi's hands kept moving, and soon he filled the tea bowl in front of Yinzuo with tea, then put down the teapot and replied.
"I used to bring it with me whenever I went out, but you always went to Yajixuan or the library. The tea there wasn't as good as ours, but it was still acceptable, so I didn't take it out. But here, they basically use tea leaves to make tea, and I'm afraid you won't be used to it."
There were all kinds of people at the tea stall, and the topics of their conversations were varied, ranging from gossip to gossip about other people. Yinzuo listened with great interest. He had almost finished a pot of tea and was about to ask Dexi to fill up the water when he saw Thirteen and Fourteen coming back angrily, led by Akshan.
"What's wrong with you two? Why are you arguing while just shopping? Dexi, quickly pour them both a cup of tea and let them drink some to calm down."
Thirteen and Fourteen were obviously very angry. After drinking a cup of tea, they still looked angry. Yinzuo glanced at Akshan and Hatu next to them. The two of them were very observant. Hatu stood up without Yinzuo asking.
"Master, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Masters didn't quarrel. It's just that they were deliberately bumped into by an old man while shopping. The two masters helped him up, but he falsely accused them and almost blackmailed them. They are unhappy now."
Oh my goodness, it's a scam. Isn't this the ancient version of "help or not"? He was hit by a car and helped someone up out of kindness, but was almost falsely accused. No wonder Thirteen and Fourteen are still so angry after coming back for a while.
"Dexi, there are chestnuts for sale over there. They smell delicious. Go buy some and bring them back for your Thirteenth and Fourteenth Masters to try. Don't be angry, both of you. Come, Sixth Brother wants to ask you, if you were to come out in the future and encounter the same situation as today and see an old man lying on the ground, would you help him up or not?"
Thirteen and Fourteen were very angry at the moment. When you heard Yinzuo's words, your first reaction was to answer angrily that you would not help. Yinzuo nodded first, then asked another question.
"But what if the old man really fell down accidentally and needed help?"
Thirteen and Fourteen saw Yinzuo nodding and thought he agreed with them. Obviously, neither of them expected Yinzuo to ask more questions. Now the two little guys couldn't help but start to feel conflicted. Yes, although it is possible that they will encounter a situation like today's where they will be blackmailed, what if the person who fell to the ground really needs help?
"But Sixth Brother, how can we tell whether this person needs help? Is he worthy of help?"
This is a good question. If someone had asked Yinzuo this question in his previous life, he might not have been able to answer it. After all, he couldn't let people gamble their family's savings on the kindness of a stranger. But this life is different.
"Sixth Brother can't answer this question for you, because even if Sixth Brother encountered the same situation, he wouldn't be able to immediately tell whether this person really needs help or is trying to scam people. But what Sixth Brother wants to tell you is that although the human heart is more terrifying than ghosts and gods in this world, it is often the human heart that can defeat ghosts and gods. We can't distinguish the human heart, nor can we fully understand human nature. But it's okay, we have money and power. If you encounter something like this in the future, just do what you want. If you encounter someone trying to scam people, just send them to the government office and give them a good beating. If you meet someone who truly needs help, do a good deed that day."
