Putting aside other things, it is not easy to make our Prince Zhao feel guilty because of one or two words. Yinzhi's habit of being jealous has been around for a long time. It seems that Yinzuo just ignored his obviously sour words and did not take them seriously at all.
"Hey, Third Brother, you didn't come here today just to say a few sarcastic things to me, did you? If that's the case, then I won't accompany you anymore."
You have to admit that Yinzhi really didn't come here today to make fun of him. After hearing what Yinzuo said, he first glared at Yinzuo unhappily, then raised his hands and clapped. Immediately, someone carried two large, tightly sealed boxes from outside the door.
Yinzhi ordered people to carry the box to Yinzuo and put it down, then he stood up and walked to Yinzuo, pulled him to the box, pointed at the box and asked him to open it and take a look.
"Third brother, what on earth did you put in this box? It's so hot and you packed it so tightly, is it safe to go bad?"
Even though the outermost layer of the box was wrapped in a thick quilt, Yinzuo still felt a slight chill as he approached it. Needless to say, there was a lot of ice in the box. This discovery made Yinzuo even more curious about what was in the box.
With Yinzuo's status, he naturally had no shortage of servants around him. He definitely didn't need to do the unpacking himself. With just a glance, Akshan took a knife and walked forward to cut the rope tied to the box. Then he nimbly pulled off the outermost quilt of the box, revealing the true appearance of the box.
Yinzhen looked at the two huge wooden boxes in front of him, then raised his eyes to glance at Yinzhi who brought them here. The meaning in his eyes was very clear, as if he was asking what was inside them.
Seeing Yinzuo's curious face, Yinzhi kept it a secret and pointed at the box on the ground.
"If you want to know what's in the box, just go open it yourself and you'll know. So, are you still worried that I, your third brother, have hidden weapons in there?"
That wasn't the case. After all, in Yinzuo's opinion, although his third brother was a little jealous, he was not a bad person. He had been very nice to him over the years. Moreover, he didn't think that his third brother would be so stupid as to put a hidden weapon in the box and still dare to carry the box over in person so openly.
Urged by Yinzhi's eyes, Yinzuo walked to the box, bent down, stretched out his hand and lifted the lid with a little force. When the box was opened, the first thing that caught Yinzuo's eyes was a hint of dark red.
"Yangmei? If I remember correctly, we don't produce this here, right? Third brother, where did you get this?"
After repeatedly confirming that the box was filled with bayberries, Yinzuo's happiness was visibly evident. You know, this thing is a specialty unique to the south. Even though he was born into a noble family in this life, it was not easy to eat fresh bayberries in this era when transportation was not well developed.
Seeing Yinzuo's happy expression, Yinzhi's smile deepened a little. He raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly before speaking nonchalantly.
"A few days ago, Khan Ama sent me on a mission to Jiangsu. On the way back, I happened to see someone selling this stuff on the roadside. Thinking that you love these new things, I bought some and brought them back for you to try. You don't know that for this little thing, your third brother rode at full speed all the way here without pausing for a moment, for fear that these things would go bad on the way..."
Once ripe, bayberries are extremely difficult to store. It is conceivable that Yinzhi had to put a lot of effort into preparing them to bring them all the way back to the capital from Jiangsu. While Yinzuo was directing Dexi to take the bayberries out of the box and send them to the ice storage in Changchun Garden, he pulled Yinzhi back to his previous seat, poured him a cup of tea personally, and then found a seat next to him.
"No wonder people always say I'm lucky. Now it seems they're absolutely right. Not only do I have the best father in the world, but the most important thing is that I also have a group of the best brothers in the world, especially my third brother. He's not only well-educated, talented, handsome, and proficient in both civil and military affairs, but most importantly, he's absolutely amazing to me, his younger brother..."
Yinzuo's skill in coaxing people was honed through thousands of times, and whoever listens to him will be confused by his flattery. Look, Yinzhi is so flattered by his flattery. At this moment, the problem that Yinzhi had been unable to figure out before was suddenly solved. If he had such a son who was sincere, good at talking and willing to make him happy, then he would have to pamper him like Khan Ama.
Not eating alone can be said to be one of Yinzuo's good qualities. The number of bayberries that Yinzhi brought back this time was not too many, only two small baskets at most, and each of the brothers only got a plate. Of course, Yinzuo did not intend to use his third brother's things to do him a favor, because when people sent the things over, they were sent in the name of his third brother.
Just as Kangxi would think of Yinzuo whenever he got something good, Yinzuo would naturally think of leaving a portion for his father whenever he got something new. After distributing the bayberries, he watched Dexi and his men carry the things to Yinzhi and others one by one. Only then did Yinzuo personally carry the portion reserved for Kangxi to Kangxi's Qingxi Book House to present the treasure to his father.
"I heard that your third brother brought two large boxes to your place yesterday, and they contained these things. It seems that you are really popular. Your third brother was thinking of bringing you something when he was out on business."
Yinzuo had never been a humble person. When he heard what Kangxi said, he didn't bother to be polite with him at all. He reached out and picked up a bayberry from the plate in front of Kangxi and put it into his mouth. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it before speaking.
"Wow, Father, you've heard a lot. That's right, the box that Third Brother carried yesterday was filled with bayberries. You, ah, still don't fully understand how popular your son is. I've told you before that your son is loved by everyone, flowers bloom when they see him, and even horses that pull carts neigh when they see him. It's not surprising that Third Brother would think of bringing me something when he goes out. Don't Big Brother and the others also think of me when they see something new when they go out..."
Although most of what Yinzuo said was true, Kangxi still felt that he was showing off to him. Yes, compared with his younger brother Yinzuo, his father's status in the hearts of his sons was much lower. Let's not talk about anything else. At least this time Yinzhi didn't think of giving him a father to bring back some bayberries...
