Hongxu is young but not stupid. Even if he is ignorant, he would not believe his father's nonsense. Who is his fourth uncle? He is the current Crown Prince.
You can go and see the Qing Dynasty. Apart from Khanmafa and the Empress Dowager, his fourth uncle gets the largest share. Not to mention raising another child like him to wait for me when I am half-grown, even if there are ten or eight more, it will not be a problem.
"Hmph, if you don't want to reduce it, then don't reduce it. Father, we shouldn't be so disrespectful. My son just eats a little more. I'm not a pig. Why can't Fourth Uncle support me?"
Hongshi had been thinking of pleading for mercy for himself together with Hongxu, but now he saw that he had to give up immediately. Even Hongxu, his own son, could get away with it at the hands of his sixth uncle, so his nephew would obviously be even more doomed.
After dinner, Yinzuo was not in a hurry to send the two little ones away. The father and son, uncle and nephew talked in the flower hall for a long time. It was not until Yinzuo felt sleepy that he let Dexi take the two little ones downstairs to rest.
It was cold outside, and the huge temperature difference between indoors and outdoors was not suitable for sleeping in bed. Yinzuo slept until the evening when it was getting dark. He called Dexi in and asked him to tidy himself up, then took Dexi to his father's Qingxi Book House.
Yinzuo had walked the road from Shufengxuan to Qingxing Bookstore for more than twenty years and was so familiar with it that he could find his way there even with his eyes closed.
It is winter now, and the flower beds in the garden have long withered because it snowed a few days ago. The garden ground is still covered with a thin white blanket. Against the backdrop of such a bleak scenery, the blooming red plum blossom appears even more eye-catching.
"When I passed by here a few days ago, the plum blossoms were still buds. In just a few days, they've already blossomed. Now that the plum blossoms in this garden have blossomed, I think the ones in the plum forest should have blossomed too. Come on, Dexi, let's go take a look now."
It was already dark, and there were no tools like electric lights that could illuminate a large area. In fact, it was not certain that one would be able to enjoy the scenery in Meilin. However, since Yinzuo had said he wanted to go, Dexi naturally could not stop him.
It was indeed as Yinzuo said, most of the plum blossoms in the plum forest had already bloomed. Even though it was dark, fortunately Yinzuo's eyesight was still pretty good. He let the palace lantern carried by the palace servant wander around the plum forest for a while, picked a few plum blossoms, and then turned around and returned the same way.
It is said that where there is pressure, there is resistance. After moving bricks for a while, Hongxu and Hongshi finally had enough of the hardships of life.
Since they couldn't get any favor from Yinzuo, they decided to find another way. The two of them decided to try their luck directly with their grandfather.
"Hanmafa, can you please ask Ama for mercy on your grandson? Hongshi and I really know we are wrong. We promise that we will behave ourselves in the future. Can you please ask Ama to forgive us?"
Hongxu is Yinzuo's son and grew up under Kangxi's watch. Kangxi was naturally more lenient to him than to his other grandchildren because he loved him. So compared to Hongshi who was always nervous when he came in front of Kangxi, Hongxu was much more relaxed.
So the scene that should have been a scene of two people crying and shouting turned into a scene for Hongxu alone. And what about Kangxi? Even though his body was shaken by Hongxu's arms and he could hardly sit still, he still didn't let go.
"Khanmafa, please give me a definite answer. If I can have a good sleep tomorrow, it all depends on you."
Could Kangxi give such a promise? Isn't the answer right here? Kangxi is the king of a country. He should be the master of all the world, but the fact is that he really doesn't dare to agree to his grandson's request.
"Hongxu, it's not that Khanmafa doesn't want to help you. You said that if you asked for anything else today, I would definitely agree to it. But maybe I can't help you with this matter today. You know your father's bad temper. Even if I agree to your request now, do you think he will obey?"
The last glimmer of hope was completely shattered, and the light in Hongxu's eyes seemed to disappear in an instant. Alas, they had come to the wrong place today. How could they have forgotten about this? Wasn't the person in front of him the one his father feared the most in this world?
"Alas, I originally thought that my reincarnation skills were invincible in this life, but now it seems that these skills are still a little lacking. How can the gap between people be so big? We are both fathers, but you see how good you are to your son. Then look at my father, who treats my son like an ox, carrying bricks back and forth such a long distance from the garden to the pavilion on the back mountain, and he doesn't feel any pity at all..."
As the saying goes, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Yinzuo just arrived at the door of the flower hall of Qingxi Book House when he heard Hongxu's sigh. He was stunned and stayed there for a few seconds before he walked into the flower hall again.
"Wow, my young master is so smart. Look, he even came to my grandfather to complain about his father. Let me ask you something, young master, do you understand the complaint? If not, do you want me to help you?"
Hongxu was caught red-handed when he made a complaint. Even though he had the same thick skin as Yinzuo, he still lacked a few years of experience. He looked a little uncomfortable at the moment, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and put on a smile almost as a conditioned reflex.
"Look at what you're saying, father. What's the point of complaining? I haven't come to see Hanmafa for a few days. Today, I happened to have some free time, so I dragged Hongshi over to see him. Oh, the flowers in Dexi's hand, father, did you go to Meilin just now?"
Yinzuo didn't bother to argue with Hongxu's obvious attempt to change the subject. He asked Dexi to give the flowers in his hand to Wanquan to take care of them, and he raised his hand and waved to Hongxu who was sitting next to Kangxi.
Hongxu had just said something bad about his father, so would he dare to go over now? Seeing Yinzuo's action, he almost hugged the arm of Kangxi, who was sitting next to him, without thinking.
"Khanmafa, I am your grandson. Look at my father's expression. He must want to settle the score with me. You can't just stand by and watch me die..."
Kangxi obviously didn't expect Hongxu to use this trick on him. He pulled and tugged at him for a long time before he finally got the sticky candy off him. Hongxu was not willing to give up so easily. He simply took off his shoes, stepped onto the couch where Kangxi was sitting, hid behind Kangxi, and used his Khanmafa to separate him from his father.
But isn't there a saying like that? If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. Seeing Hongxu like this, Yinzuo was too lazy to argue with him. He stood up and walked over to grab Hongxu's ear through Kangxi.
