As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The news that Yinzuo, a teacher, became depressed was publicized by Fourteen, the loudspeaker, and it spread quickly to every corner of Changchun Garden as if it had wings. Not only did his group of brothers who came to visit to watch the fun, but his father also didn't let him go.
"Is it really that funny? Father, it's fine if my elder brothers and I laugh at me, but why are you laughing with them? Do you know how hard my life has been these past few days? Someone used to say that a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each one is different, but I didn't believe it. Fourteen has really opened my eyes these past few days. You don't know how stupid your son is. He's practiced addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of more than a dozen three-digit numbers over and over again, but he still can't figure it out. When I was teaching Little Nine, it wasn't so difficult. He understood it right away and could apply it to other situations. He's making rapid progress. And look at Old Fourteen. It's really hard to describe..."
Whenever Yinzuo mentioned the number fourteen, the only thing that came to his mind was two words - headache. Kangxi had originally wanted to make fun of Yinzuo, but now seeing that he frowned and rubbed his temples worriedly when he mentioned the number fourteen, how could he no longer have the heart to make fun of him? He stood up and walked to Yinzuo's side, raised his hand to pull down his hand on his head, looked at his temple that was red from being pressed, and felt distressed for his biased old father again.
"You said so too. If he's not smart, we just don't teach him. Why bother to argue with yourself? Besides, that kid has always been thick-skinned. If you're really angry, wouldn't you beat him up to vent your anger? Why make yourself so angry? And your eldest brother and second brother are the same. They knew you were in a bad mood, so they didn't help to comfort you, but why did they take turns to watch you make a fool of yourself? When you see them again, I'll talk to them for you. Okay, don't be angry. Didn't you say before that you wanted to put a red coral tree in the main hall of Shufengxuan? A few days ago, a new one was donated from below. I asked Liang Jiugong to bring people back to the palace to get it yesterday. It's now placed in the study. Father will take you to see it..."
Yinzuo went to Qingxi Book House and brought back a red coral tree. This incident quickly replaced the topic of Prince Zhao's defense breakdown and topped the trending search list for Changchun Garden. Yinzuo, the person involved in this trending search, didn't care much about it. After all, he was a figure who was always at the top of the trending search list. He had seen a lot of big scenes. This was nothing special...
"Hey, Third Brother, you've been circling this coral tree for a few times. Why don't we sit down and watch? You're making me dizzy."
Are you dizzy from all the spinning? Why don't you tell me that your coral tree makes me dizzy? Ask around in Beijing, no, ask around the world. Who can own two coral trees this good, this large, and sit and admire them? How can I sit still right now?
Again, it's not that Yinzhi was short-sighted and had never seen anything good, it's just that people compare themselves to others and become idiots, and goods are thrown away when compared to others. For people of Yinzhi's status, red coral is not really a novelty, but the quality and size of the one displayed in Yinzuo's house are indeed rare. Not only did he get such a rare treasure that is rarely seen in the world easily, but the key point is that he also has a piece of the same quality and similar size. Who wouldn't be jealous when seeing this, let alone Yinzhi who likes to collect these things.
"Third brother, don't glare at me. I didn't ask Khan Ama for this. He compensated me for my mental damages. You know what happened when I taught Fourteen math a few days ago. That guy was so stupid. I was so angry that I almost got depressed. Don't they say that a son pays for his father's debts? The same is true in reverse. Fourteen is Khan Ama's son. Isn't it reasonable for him to compensate me on Fourteen's behalf?"
Is that reasonable? If I follow your theory, can I go to Qingxi Book House and ask Khan Ama for mental damages now? Even though Yinzhi despised Yinzuo's explanation in his heart, he still said that everything is fate.
With the guidance of Kangxi, the coral tree, Yinzuo quickly got rid of his depression and became sunny again. As the year was coming to an end, a lot of things in the palace were waiting for Kangxi to deal with. It was obviously not convenient to live in Changchun Garden anymore. So, at Kangxi's order, Yinzuo took his wife and children and followed his father back to the capital.
For a lazy person like Yinzuo who rarely gets a chance to turn his life around, life is actually the same no matter where he is. He used to live in Shufengxuan Waterside Pavilion, but now he just lives in a different place. If there is any difference from before, it is that he is a little farther away from his father. In the past, it was only a few steps away from Qingxi Book House, but now he has to sit in a sedan chair and wander around for a while to go to the Qianqing Palace.
"Ama..."
"Akshan, prepare the horses."
With Yinzuo's shout to prepare the horses, the originally quiet courtyard immediately became lively. Although everyone didn't know what their master was doing in the middle of the night, in this Prince Zhao's Mansion, Yinzuo was the king. To the servants in Prince Zhao's Mansion, what he said was actually not much different from an imperial edict.
"Master, you must be having a nightmare. The palace is already locked in the middle of the night. Even if you go there now, you probably won't be able to get in. How about we wait a little longer..."
Dexi was guarding outside just now. Yinzuo called out "Ama" so loudly, and he was not deaf, so how could he not hear it? But Yinzuo's mind was full of two words - enter the palace, so he didn't listen to Dexi's advice. By the time they had finished packing, Akshan had already brought the horse over!
Yinzuo's palace was not far from the Forbidden City. It only took a few minutes to reach the gate of the Forbidden City by horse. Even though Yinzuo had a golden medal granted by Emperor Kangxi that allowed him to enter the palace at any time, the guards guarding the palace gate would not dare to open the gate and let him in without an imperial edict in the middle of the night.
