For a long time after the celebration banquet, whenever Yinzhi saw Yinzuo, he would look at him in a daze. Yinzuo himself knew that this was the result of his excessive arrogance in the past, so every time he saw his elder brother like this, he would not get angry, but would greet him with a smile and call him "elder brother's strengths and weaknesses". After so many times, Yinzhi felt embarrassed to show his bad face to him again.
"Oh, now I understand why Khan Ama always compromises with you. You really have cultivated your thick skin. If it were anyone else, they would have been annoyed by me if I had been so unpleasant to them all day long."
As the weather grew colder, Yinzuo saw that Kangxi had no intention of returning to the palace, so he specially asked Dexi to take people back to Nansanso and move his tent, clay stove, and specially made tables, chairs, and benches to Changchun Garden.
Next to Shufengxuan where Yinzuo lived was a large plum forest. Although it was not yet the season for plum blossoms to bloom, he still had people set up a tent there. He would sit here every day when he had nothing to do. Occasionally, when his brothers came to play with him, he would bring them over to make tea and have hot pot together around the stove. Today, when Yinzhi came, he also brought people here.
"Big brother is right. I dare not say anything else. When it comes to thick skin, every one of us brothers is equal. If I say I am second, no one will dare to say I am first..."
Yinzhi was obviously shocked by Yinzuo's shameless attitude. He reached out and pointed at him in the air, and scolded him with a bad smile!
"Is this something worth bragging about? Look how proud you are! I only knew you were thick-skinned before, but I didn't expect you to be this thick-skinned. It's almost as thick as the city wall."
Yinzuo was not angry at all when his elder brother teased him. He smiled and picked up the teapot on the small clay stove and poured tea into his elder brother's cup.
"It's just so-so. My brother's face is only a little thicker than the corner of the city wall. I wonder if you've ever heard this saying: A tree without bark will surely die, but a person without shame is invincible."
Yinzhen picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then nodded in agreement. What Yinzuo said was right. Doesn't this make him invincible in the world?
The brothers Yinzuo and Yinzhi were chatting casually when they heard Dexi's voice greeting them from outside the tent. Before they could get up, the tent curtain was opened from the outside, and then Yinlu and Yinzhen walked in.
"Big brother, aren't you still quarreling with Sixth Brother? Why did you come to his place today? Sixth Brother, why are you running to this tent in such a cold weather instead of staying indoors? Did you see Big Brother coming and plan to bring him out here to suffer the cold as revenge..."
One has to admit that the ninth brother really doesn't know how to talk. With just a few words, he offended his eldest brother and sixth brother. Yin? stood behind his ninth brother and silently raised his hands to cover his face, not opening his eyes to watch his ninth brother being beaten. This was the greatest respect he could give to his ninth brother at this moment.
As expected by Yinzuo, Yin'er was slapped on the back of the head by his eldest brother as soon as he finished speaking, and then he was hit on the head by his sixth brother. Yin'er was attacked from both sides at this time, and he didn't understand why he was beaten. But soon Yinzhi took the initiative to speak and let him die with an understanding.
"What do you mean your sixth brother and I are having a falling out? Do you think such a effeminate word is appropriate for two grown men like us? And your sixth brother, you can come, so why can't I? They say that failure makes one wiser. You've suffered so much because of your mouth, why don't you learn from it?"
After beating Yin'er, Yinzuo looked at Yin'e who was covering his face behind him, stood up, took two stools from behind him and handed them to Yin'e, and Yin'e asked them to come and sit down.
"Big brother is right. Sooner or later, Yinzhen, you will suffer a great loss because of your mouth. What do you mean by "I saw big brother coming and brought him here to suffer the cold to get revenge on him"? On weekdays, when big brother is not here, don't I come here to sit every day? I like this feeling, don't you understand?"
To be honest, Yinzhen didn't understand. He really couldn't figure out what his sixth brother was thinking. Instead of staying in the house with floor heating, he had to run to sit in this tent. If the plum blossoms were in bloom, he could enjoy them, but now this plum forest was bare and what was there to see?
When Yinzuo heard Yin'er mumbling, he reached out and hit him on the forehead again, then raised his hand and pointed to the bed, tables, chairs, benches, and small red clay stove in the tent.
"What do you understand? Do you understand the artistic conception? I, your sixth brother, like the feeling of being in the wilderness, still and silent. Okay, I won't talk to you about this anymore. Why did you two come to see me today?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Yinzhen immediately became energetic again. He stood up and walked out of the tent, and soon brought in two big geese.
"Sixth brother, didn't you always say that you wanted to eat goose stewed in an iron pot when the weather got cold? Today, Old Ten and I went out to play and happened to come across a goose seller, so we bought two. Now that we have the geese, can we have stewed goose tonight?"
Although the goose in Yin'er's hand had its feet and wings tied and could not move much, it had no intention of compromising. Its good voice was so loud that Yinzuo frowned for a moment.
"You really have a great voice. Well, since your voice is so resonant, let's take it with us to cure the poison muteness first."
When Yin'er heard Yin'zuo's words, he knew that his sixth brother was going to start acting again. He cooperated quite well, holding the big goose and making a quick move, saying.
"Yes, I will take these two bastards away and poison them to silence them..."
Yinzhen took the big goose in his hand out of the tent and handed it to Dexi, asking him to find someone to take the goose out. He then turned around and went back to the tent.
"Sixth Master, I have already sent someone to take those two bastards away for execution. Please be patient and I will make sure they are brought to heel."
You have sent people to execute him, so he must become obedient. Yinzuo glanced at Yinlu who was acting enthusiastically and asked him to sit next to him. He took a teapot and poured him a cup of tea.
"Alright, you're still addicted to acting, aren't you? Now that the goose has been taken away, we've got to get the iron pot ready too. Lao Jiu, Lao Shi, don't rest either. Lao Jiu, take some people to clear the open space in front of the little tent where De Xi was just staying. We'll set up the pot there soon. Lao Shi, go to my yard and have them call Second Brother, Fifth Brother, and the others over. Since Big Brother has made it here today, don't go back. It's a good opportunity for us brothers to get together and have some fun."
Yinzuo always liked to bring his brothers together for team-building and fostering relationships. Neither Yinzhen, Yinlu, nor Yin? were surprised at Yinzuo's decision to invite all the people he could. They were only worried that once all the people came, would their two geese be enough to eat?
