After working hard for a year, you are suddenly back to the time before liberation. This sentence is fully demonstrated in Yinzuo. Looking at the kitchen that was looted by his brothers, Yinzuo was so sad that he wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Dexi, come and help me, your grandfather. I feel very dizzy. Oh, my heart, why is it so cold?"
The last time Dexi heard the word "baliang" from his master's mouth was when his master was short of money. Now he didn't need to ask why his heart was cold. It was because he was heartbroken. Didn't he see that the mutton-fat jade salt jar that his master kept in the kitchen was taken away by the Twelfth Master? It would be strange if his heart didn't turn cold.
Even though Yinqi and the others were fighting so hard for the things, they actually didn't really want those things that much. It was mainly because Yinzuo's painful and frustrated look was so funny that they couldn't help but want to tease him. Yinzuo didn't feel bad about the things that Yinqi and the others took away, it was mainly because he was used to taking advantage of others, so wouldn't he feel uncomfortable when he suddenly suffered a loss?
"Khan Ama, please have pity on my son and help him. Otherwise, he won't be able to make ends meet in a few days. You don't know how excessive my fifth brother and his brothers are. Not only did they steal the soup base that my son had prepared, but the cloisonné mutton-fat jade jar that you gave to my son was also taken away by my twelfth brother..."
Kangxi has been very busy these days since he came back. Today he finally had some free time and wanted to ask his son to come over and chat, but he didn't expect that the first thing he did was to ask for money from him.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know. Haven't you always kept the jar I gave you in the kitchen to store salt? Since you don't like it, give it to Twelve if he wants it."
When Yinzuo heard his father's evasive words, he knew that the old man was trying to divert his attention. Was the focus of his words about the jar? Of course not. His focus was on the previous sentence, "Please have some pity on me. Didn't you hear me say that I can hardly make ends meet?"
"Father, can we not talk about that jar? My son said I was short of money. Look at my son's pocket. It's cleaner than his face now."
Kangxi looked at Yinzuo, who didn't beat around the bush at all and just came straight to the point. He picked up the teacup beside him and drank a sip of tea calmly, pretending not to hear what he had just said.
When Yinzuo saw this situation, he thought to himself that something was wrong. It seemed that his 30% dividend this year was in danger. So he hurriedly stood up and carefully took a few steps towards Kangxi, and asked in a low voice when he came in front of Kangxi.
"Father, will my son still be able to get the money this year?"
Although Kangxi pretended to be busy, his eyes were always on Yinzuo's movements. Seeing him move over cautiously, he thought that he was going to pester him and make trouble again, but he didn't expect that he had made progress this time. Seeing him come in front of him with a nervous look on his face and ask in a low voice, Kangxi couldn't help but want to tease him again, so he also imitated him and replied in a low voice.
"Yinzuo, if father says that he is short of money recently, can you refuse this silver?"
Yinzuo was struck by lightning when he heard this. He knew that this old man was very bad. Look, he really wanted to embezzle his money again like he did last year.
"Father, I want to ask if your dividend from our oil mill this year is much higher than last year?"
Although Kangxi did not look at the account books sent by the oil mill this year, he knew that the business of the oil mill had expanded a lot this year, and the dividends would definitely be more than last year. So when he heard Yinzuo's question, he nodded without hesitation. It would have been fine if he hadn't nodded, but when he saw that the money this year was more than last year, Yinzuo frowned even tighter. Seeing that Yinzuo was in a dilemma, Kangxi ignored him and drank tea by himself. It was almost an incense stick of time before he heard Yinzuo speak.
"At most half, Father. I know you're short of money for the war, but you can't always take advantage of me. How about this? Let's invite my eldest brother and the others over, and each of them can take a little. This way, not only will you earn more, but I'll also lose less."
Okay, you are really a talented guy. You just frowned and thought for a long time and came up with such a bad idea. If your brothers knew that you cheated them like this, do you think you can still keep the things in your yard?
Seeing Kangxi looking at him in disbelief, Yinzuo felt a little guilty and touched his nose with his hand, then smiled awkwardly.
"Father, please don't look at me like that. I'm being pushed into this state by you. You know my dream since I was little was to be a playboy, but until today I've only got a few melons and two dates. If this continues, I'll never realize my dream of being a prodigal son."
Liang Jiugong now really admires Yinzuo. He has been with Kangxi for so many years and thinks he is knowledgeable. He dare not say anything else, but when it comes to courage, the Sixth Prince dares to say that he is second to none, and no one dares to say that he is first.
If any other prince dared to complain to His Majesty that His Majesty had delayed his life as a playboy and a prodigal, his butt would have been raised at least eight times today. But now look at this prince. He is favored. His Majesty was obviously so angry that he took a deep breath, but in the end he didn't dare to call anyone to pull him away and just started shooting.
"Hmph~ Even with your lofty ambitions, I can't let you have money. My son absolutely cannot be a playboy. You'd better give up on this idea. You'll be sixteen next year. It's not good to be idle at this age. How about this? When I go to war in person in the spring, you can follow me and serve as a clerk. It's better than you running off to your garden as soon as I leave the capital."
Yinzuo never thought that he just wanted to have some fun with Kangxi, but in the end he ended up on the battlefield in Mobei. This was not acceptable.
"Khan Ama, you're teasing your son, aren't you? His small body can't stand the bitter cold of Mobei. If he falls ill there, won't it hinder you? Besides, the imperial physician said that my son's arm affects his riding and archery. He has difficulty drawing the bow and shooting, so how can he go to the battlefield? If he encounters danger, you will have to divert your attention to protect him."
Looking at his son who was trying every possible means to discredit him just to persuade him not to go to Mobei, Kangxi rubbed his forehead with a headache, called Yinzuo to his side, and patted his forehead with his hand.
"Don't come here and try to deceive me. I've consulted the imperial physician. Although your arm is injured, you can still shoot arrows. Besides, you are always by my side, so what danger can there be? I am doing this for your own good. You brothers are now of noble age. Except for you, your eldest brother and the others have all accompanied me on military campaigns this year and accumulated some military merits. If you don't go to the battlefield, do you want to be a bald prince forever?"
