After being pushed around like a top by his sixth brother for a long time, Yinzhen finally understood. It turned out that the incident he thought he could get over with a few scoldings was not over at all.
As the saying goes, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. What's more, he came here today to ask for help. It's just serving tea and peeling melon seeds. He is familiar with and capable of doing this job.
"Okay, Xiaojiu, you've been busy with your son for a while. Find a place to sit down and rest. By the way, I saw you frowning when you came in from outside just now. Is there something difficult?"
What does it mean when you feel sleepy, someone hands you a pillow? Look, that's it. Yinzhen was just thinking about how to start talking. Now Yinzuo's question really saved him a lot of brain cells.
"Sixth brother, you guessed right. This time, besides visiting the sick, I really have something I need your help with. Speaking of this, you still blame me for not raising my son well, but I didn't know that my Hongxun was so bold. Yesterday, he came to Changchun Garden with the concubine to visit my mother, and he insisted on going out to play. My mother didn't like his noise so much and let him go. Who would have thought that when I didn't keep an eye on him, he would wander into Khan Ama's peony garden, and then..."
Although Yinzhen didn't finish his words, Yinzuo could already imagine what happened next. He now understood what Yinzhen wanted to ask of him. He just wanted him to help his father and ask for favors from someone.
"Xiaojiu, I told you before that you don't have this habit of being timid in front of your father. Can you please change your bad habit of being timid in front of your father? It's just that the child was naughty and plucked a few of his peonies. If you are afraid of being blamed by him, why don't you take the child to Qingxi Book House to apologize? As a Marfa, can he still hold a grudge against his grandson Hongxun?"
If you ask Yinzhen what he felt after hearing what his sixth brother said, there is only one word to describe it - miserable. He could change his habit of being timid in front of his father, otherwise why would he have to run to his sixth brother in the drizzle? Moreover, if he had only pulled out a few peonies, it would have been easy to handle. He had no idea that his son looked small, but had such amazing destructive power. In less than half an hour, he almost wiped out all the peony gardens of his Khan Ama.
"Sixth brother, of course I know that Khan Ama wouldn't hold it against his grandson, but I'm just afraid that he might hold it against me, his son. Sixth brother, if I told you that I counted the peonies in the peony garden before I came to your place, and that the remaining peonies are less than one-third of what they used to be, would you not think I'm making a big deal out of nothing..."
Less than one-third? No, the peony garden is such a huge area. Even if Hongxun is a lawn mower, it will take him a while to push it. How did he manage to level it in less than half an hour?
Not only was Yinzuo curious about this, but even Yinreng, who had been listening without interrupting, was now full of questions. The two of them looked at each other, and then simultaneously cast doubtful glances at Yinzhen who was standing beside them.
Speaking of Yinzhen, he became even more angry. I don't know if you have heard this saying: the most essential difference between humans and animals is that humans can make and use tools. Logically speaking, Hongxun is only five years old this year. Even if he has strong destructive power, it should not reach this point. But it is better to go at the right time than to go early.
"Speaking of this makes me angry, Sixth Brother. Don't underestimate that kid, he's got endless energy and cunning. The reason he was able to destroy all those peonies in such a short time is because he stole the shovel used by the palace maids for weeding. Everyone was afraid of hurting him and didn't dare to take it directly. Didn't that give him the opportunity?"
This doesn't make sense. They're all thirty now, and they still have people around them when they go out. Hongxun is just a five-year-old child, it doesn't make sense for him to be alone. Yinzhen naturally saw Yinzuo's doubts, sighed helplessly, and then slowly spoke again.
"Sixth brother, you just want to know why no one around Hongxun came to report to Mother, right? Well, how about he just happened to happen by chance? When they came, my Mother and Fu Jin happened to be out strolling in the garden. It took some time to find them..."
After Yinzhen said this, Yinzuo understood. Because it took some time to find Concubine Yi and the Ninth Lady, it gave Hongxun more time to commit the crime, and then...
Although Hongxun was indeed a very courageous boy, in Yinzuo's opinion, this was not a big deal. No matter how precious the peonies in the peony garden were, to put it bluntly, they were just flowers for people to appreciate. Kangxi would definitely not bother his son Yinzhen for such a small matter.
But despite this, in order to reassure Yin'er, Yinzuo decided to go to Qingxi Book House with him. Although Shufengxuan was not far from Qingxi Book House, Yinzuo's foot was still injured and he naturally could not walk there. Dexi simply asked someone to come in and carry Yinzuo and the recliner under him out.
Since they were going to Qingxi Library to plead guilty, they naturally had to bring Hongxun, the culprit, along. After all, ignorance is fearless. Compared to Yin'er's gloomy face, Hongxun's condition was much better than his father's. He had been waiting in the small tent outside the large tent where Yinzo, Yinreng, and the others had just been staying. When he saw Yinzo being carried out, he immediately stood up and ran towards them.
"Sixth uncle, Ama, should we go to Khanmafa to apologize right now? But it's still raining outside. Sixth uncle, if I don't want to walk, can I sit on this chair with you?"
The child's request for a son was not excessive, and as his uncle, Yinzuo naturally could not refuse. He nodded at the little guy, signaled the people who were carrying him to put the chair aside, then called the little guy to his side, reached out to pick him up and put him on his lap.
"Hongxun, Sixth Uncle heard from your mama before that when you acted naughty, you were just like your brother Hongxu. I didn't believe it then, but now it seems that you are indeed much braver than your father. You were wrong this time. You must apologize to Khanmafa when you see him later, okay? Otherwise, your father's butt will be in trouble..."
The reason why Hongxun didn't seem to be afraid of Kangxi was, firstly, because he was still young. Although he knew that Khanmafa was the emperor, he had never gotten along with him and had no idea how scary the title of emperor was. Secondly, this kid knew too well how to use the phrase "the fox borrows the power of the tiger to bully others". He had often heard Hongxi and others say that Kangxi had no way to deal with Yinzuo. Now that Yinzuo was sitting on his sixth uncle's lap, what did Khanmafa have to do with him no matter how powerful he was?
