It has always been human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Although Fourteen didn't know who Fish Leong was, he knew that his attitude just now seemed a bit too arrogant.
"Look at you, why are you so anxious? Sixth brother, I was just joking with you. How dare I really go to mother and complain about you? If I did, I'd probably be the first one to get punished. Sixth brother, you know I've never won a complaint since I was a child."
As the saying goes, one should not judge a person by his appearance, but by his appearance. Even if Fourteenth was Xiong's brother, he was still his biological brother. It was impossible for Yinzuo to really bother with him. Upon hearing this, he just hooked his finger at Fourteenth, and when he got closer, he slapped him on the back of the head, and the matter was over.
If you ask who is the happiest about Fourteenth's return, that person must be Concubine De. As the saying goes, a mother worries about her child even when he is a thousand miles away. Even though Concubine De scolds Fourteenth for being reckless every day, he is the son she raised since childhood after all. He suddenly left for several years, so it is impossible for her to really not miss him.
"Fourteen, you're finally back. Come, stand closer to mother, so she can take a good look at you."
Fourteen hadn't seen his mother in years, so he was naturally thrilled to finally see her. He was just about to rush over and give her a hug, but when he heard her words, he paused. Why did he feel that what she said sounded strangely familiar? It felt like he had heard it at Qingxi Bookstore just now...
Yinzuo and Defei are mother and daughter. It is pure self-deception to say that they have no similarities. What I mean is, have you ever seen a good person greet someone by pulling the person over and beating him up? But Fourteenth saw it twice today.
"Mother, I have no objection to you pinching my son's face, but we can't be too gentle. I am your son, a prince now. If I go out with a monkey's butt on my head, it will be so embarrassing..."
Yinzuo has always been a person who likes to watch the fun and no matter how big the event, seeing that Defei seemed to really intend to let Fourteenth go, he quickly walked up to Defei and fanned his mother.
"Fourteen, what you said is not right. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first among all virtues. So what if you are a prince? What about our fourth brother, the crown prince? If mother wants to pinch his face, he has to stand here and put his face in our mother's hands for her to pinch. Mother, you must be tired after standing for a while. Come, sit over here and rest for a while. Fourteen, come here and squat down. Mother, you are welcome to pinch me as long as you want..."
Hey, look how generous you are. What's the matter? Sixth brother, are you going to give me up? But the same thing goes, if Fourteenth has any way, then we are not completely helpless. There are four people in Fourteenth's family, and he is the fifth brother. Even if he wants to resist, he must have the ability to do so.
"Sixth brother, you are heartless, cold, and unreasonable. I will never talk to you again."
To be honest, if Fourteenth was still the fair and tender Fourteenth, Yinzuo might really let him go if he acted coquettishly. But the bad thing is that Fourteenth ignored his current image that looks like an African native. Just imagine, if the burly Li Kui stood here and said to you, brother, I, Tie Niu, will never pay attention to you again, do you think Song Jiang would want to let him go?
Yinzuo was so frightened by Fourteen's sudden possession by Qiong Yao that he couldn't help but tremble, and the cup in his hand almost hit his face. After he finally calmed down, he put the cup in his hand on the table, raised his hand and pointed to the empty seat next to him, motioning Fourteen to sit over.
"Fourteen, you can talk if you want, but can you be a little more normal? Do you know what was going through my mind when you were acting like a spoiled brat with me just now?"
To be honest, Fourteen didn't want to know at all. After all, he knew with his toes that it was definitely not good. But since his Sixth Brother had said this, he obviously would not allow him to answer no.
"I don't know, so Sixth Brother, what did you think of just now?"
Fourteen's tactful and cooperative attitude obviously made Yinzuo very satisfied. He first stood up and walked in front of Fourteen, staring at him for a long time, then raised his hands and patted Fourteen's shoulders, then spoke softly.
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of a sentence - what a pretentious man... Hahahaha~~"
Should I say this or not? Fourteen suddenly thought of a sentence in his mind - Get out of here, the farther the better...
Of course, it was impossible for Yinzuo to leave, not even in this lifetime. Not to mention that after Yinzuo and the Fourteenth Brothers had such a fight, not only did the strangeness and alienation between the brothers who hadn't seen each other for a long time disappear, but even Defei's slightly excited mood was calmed down in the laughter.
Defei, Fourteenth Son and mother have been reunited for a long time. After finally seeing her son, she naturally couldn't bear to let him go back. The mother and son chatted until lunch time. Yinzhen also rushed over from the capital. When he entered the door and saw Fourteenth Son, who was as black as coal, he was stunned and it took him a while to recover.
"Fourteenth brother has suffered a lot in the past few years. Although he is a little darker, he looks much stronger than before..."
Compared to Yinzuo who started to make jokes right away, Yinzhen's behavior was almost normal. He first pulled Fourteenth Prince to his front and looked him up and down, then raised his hand and patted Fourteenth Prince on the shoulder and began to praise him.
Fourteenth was just a little potato who couldn't stand being praised at all. It was fine if Yinzhen didn't praise him, but once he was praised, he soared to the top. Yinzuo looked at Fourteenth who was obviously getting arrogant again and didn't bother to pay attention to him. After all, today they, mother and son, were finally together. It was such a happy day, and he really didn't want to hit Fourteenth, this fool, when they were so happy.
After the Thirteenth and Fourteenth came back, Kangxi sympathized with his sons' hard work over the years, so he gave them a fairly long vacation. Kangxi and Defei were now living in Changchun Garden, and the two guys were naturally unwilling to return to the capital like this, so they made a plan and moved into Yinzuo's Shufengxuan the next day with large and small luggage.
You ask if they are so hypocritical, acting first and reporting to Yinzuo later, isn't he angry? Well... he is not angry. As the saying goes, if you raise one sheep, you can also let the flock go. Anyway, Yinreng is already staying with him, so adding Thirteen or Fourteen is not a big deal.
"Hey, second brother, you're here too. We're brothers, aren't we? Look at us, we always think alike. It's so hot outside right now. If you ask where the coolest place is in or around the capital, I'm afraid apart from the Imperial Madam's Chunhui Hall and Khan's Qingxi Book House, the only other place is here, sixth brother's. Dexi, can you help me move a chair and a fishing rod over? I see second brother fishing and I want to give it a try..."
