Chapter 280 A good bamboo shoot sprouted from a bad bamboo



Who agreed? Look at the question. Didn’t you say that I blocked the account myself? Do I need other people’s consent?

"Look at what you're saying, Fourth Brother. What do you mean by a self-proclaimed title? Isn't this a fact recognized by everyone? Second Brother, tell me, am I your most beloved brother?"

Yinreng was battling wits and courage with Hongxu, trying to avoid the pastry in his hand that was covered with who knows how much saliva. He was stunned when he heard what Yinzuo said. Seeing that his second uncle suddenly stopped dodging, Hongxu seized the opportunity to lift up his little paw holding the pastry, and quickly stuffed the pastry in Yinreng's hand, which had been gnawed so much that it could not be seen in its original shape, into Yinreng's mouth.

"Uncle, are the cakes sweet?"

What would you do if someone unexpectedly stuffed a mouthful of pastry, the kind others had already eaten? Most people's first reaction would be to spit it out, and Yinreng was no exception. The moment the pastry entered his mouth, he subconsciously wanted to spit it out. But he was only halfway there when he heard someone say, "Uncle, are the pastries sweet?" He forcefully swallowed the half-spitted pastry back, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it down. Only then did he reach up and touch the little one in his arms, who stared at him with sparkling eyes, expecting a response.

"Thank you Hongxu for sharing the cakes with Uncle Er. The cakes are delicious and sweet."

There has never been a moment when Yinreng felt as much as he does now that he owed Yinzuo and his son in his previous life. Look, the younger one, who was finally made happy, looked up and found that there was an older one waiting for his answer over there?

"Don't you always say that you and your second brother are the best in the world? If that's the case, then you are naturally your second brother's favorite brother."

As soon as Yinreng said this, Yinzuo's already slightly raised mouth corners could no longer be suppressed. He first looked at Yinzhen next to him with a smug look, then turned his head and looked at Yinlu on the other side.

"Where's Xiaojiu? Do you think I'm your favorite brother?"

Is this even a question? Although Yinzhen was often beaten badly by his sixth brother, if you ask him who his favorite among his brothers is, his answer will definitely be Yinzuo. As soon as he heard his sixth brother's question, he nodded without hesitation.

"Of course. Among all of us brothers, Sixth Brother is the best to me. When I was little, everyone disliked me for being naughty and causing trouble. They would run away from me as far as possible. Only Sixth Brother was willing to play with me..."

Yinzhen's answer immediately made Yinzuo's tail, which was already sticking up to the sky, even higher.

"Well, what do you think, Fourth Brother? I've always said this is a fact universally acknowledged. I'm your brother, everyone loves me. Flowers bloom when I see them, and cars get flat tires when I see them. Oh, my damned, charismatic personality that has nowhere to go..."

At this moment, Yinzhen felt that his mother tongue should be "speechless". He stared at Yinzuo, whose snot bubbles were almost coming out, for a long time. Yinzhen finally decided to let him go. Whatever, aren't there individual differences between people? His brother just didn't have a clear understanding of himself. It wasn't a big deal, was it?

To a certain extent, Yinzuo was a person who loved to show off. If Yinzhen was willing to cooperate with him, he might have been able to make some noise for a while, but Yinzhen ignored him, and he didn't have much energy to entertain himself after a while.

"Keep it simple, keep your words simple, and skip the emotional progression. You're not an actor, so don't create those plots. I have no objection, I just want to see how you can make it work. Your sadness is too superficial, like an untalented actor. The audience can see it immediately, and I should be cooperating with your performance, but I'm pretending not to see it..."

Everyone had long been accustomed to Yinzuo's occasional tantrums, so when they saw him making a fuss again, they ignored him and found a place to sit down, waiting for him to calm down after making enough noise.

"Hongxu, you must remember what Fourth Uncle said next. No matter what, you must never learn to be like your father in the future. We finally have a good bamboo shoot growing out of this bad bamboo pit, and we can't let him lead it astray."

Yinzhen had no idea what to do with Yinzuo for a long time, so he could only walk up to Yinreng angrily, take the smiling little Hongxu from his arms, put him on a chair beside him, and pointed at his little nose and slandered his father.

How could Yinzuo be happy to be called a bad bamboo? He stopped singing and humming at this moment. He stood up and walked to Yinzhen's side, picked up Hongxu from the chair, and stuffed him into Yinzhen's arms.

"Okay, I'm the bad bamboo, right? That's perfect, Fourth Brother, you can take this good bamboo shoot back with you today. Yin'er, go get the calligraphy that this kid just used to trace and show it to Fourth Brother. I want to see if he can still pronounce the word 'good bamboo shoot' after seeing the missing characters."

Yinzhen held his well-behaved nephew Good Bamboo and looked at his furious brother Bad Bamboo. He sighed helplessly and looked for help at Yinreng who was watching the fun intently on the side.

"Second brother..."

Yinreng didn't want to care about it, but he was the biggest one here. Well, the situation has changed. Just now he was happily watching Yinzhen sighing helplessly, but now he is the one sighing.

"Alright, you've been messing around with your son for a while now, and you're not tired of it. You two are grown-ups, why are you still bickering like a child? You, too, Fourth Brother, why did you mess with him? He has the Khan, your biggest backer, in his hands. You can't win this case even if you take it to the emperor. Okay, stop messing around and come sit over here..."

Yinzuo and Yinzhen were just joking about their bickering, and with Yinreng's words as a basis, they naturally gave in and found a place to sit down. Dexi had followed Yinzuo for so many years and still had some good eyesight. Seeing that the water pavilion had returned to peace, he quickly asked the eunuchs outside to bring refreshments to everyone and served new tea.

"Second brother, fourth brother, how come you have time to come over to my place today? Didn't you say you were too busy to come when I asked you to come?"

Although Kangxi always liked to monopolize power and make decisions arbitrarily, as the crown prince, Yinreng had a lot of things to do every day. Not to mention Yinzhen. If he wanted to settle the mess in the Ministry of Revenue, it would take him forever. But Yinzhen was a very petty person and could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. This would cause him a lot of trouble for nothing. He was exhausted like a top every day because of the thankless work. His life was so miserable that it could not be described in one word.

"It's always busier than usual near the end of the year. Today wasn't a day of audience with Khan Ama, but since it was still early, I came over to visit you. You really know how to enjoy yourself. In just a few days, you've already made this waterside pavilion as warm as spring. Honestly, your waterside pavilion is a great place to enjoy the scenery. When you have some free time, I'll have someone bring a recliner over so we can spend a few days relaxing."
