Yes, Yinzuo's riding and archery skills were so poor, how did he pass the test of Kangxi? This question was not only curious to Yinzuo, but also to Yinluo, Yinxiang and other younger brothers.
"Hahahaha~~ Yin? That's a good question, but I'm afraid you won't get an answer from your sixth brother. How about you ask me, your eldest brother?"
Although many years have passed, Yinzhen still can't help laughing whenever he thinks of the scene that happened in the arrow pavilion. You know, the Qing Dynasty was conquered on horseback. In order to maintain the spirit of riding and shooting, and to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army, their Khan Ama would prepare and organize military training, riding and shooting, hunting and other martial arts activities almost every year. It can be imagined how much they care about riding and shooting.
At the beginning, Yinzuo was lazy and spoiled, and he slacked off in the riding and archery classes and refused to change despite repeated warnings. This gave Kangxi a lot of headaches. You see, with Kangxi's temper, since Yinzuo dared to disobey him like this, why didn't he get punished? Why wasn't he punished? Of course he was punished. In the end, our Sixth Prince simply gave up and cried loudly while hugging Kangxi's thighs in the archery pavilion, smearing his snot and tears on his father. Kangxi was angry, helpless, and distressed when he saw this. Veins on his forehead were bulging, but he had no way to deal with the little baby crying while hugging his thighs. In the end, he could only comfort himself by saying that a dragon has nine sons, and each one is different.
"Then, big brother, how did Sixth Brother get past Khan Ama in the first place?"
Don't be disrespectful, there is no pressure at all for me to answer this question. After all, that is just a shining link in my glorious record of fighting wits and courage with the old man over the years. There is nothing to hide.
"Don't worry, big brother. I'll answer this question myself. Speaking of how I escaped from Khan Ama's hands, it was all tears. You don't know, but I, your sixth brother, have had a weak body since I was a child. I'm fine studying in the study on weekdays, but as soon as I get to the archery pavilion and see the scorching sun, my whole body becomes weak and my eyes become dizzy. But Khan Ama doesn't know about it. He thinks I'm just being lazy. Every day after class, he punishes me by making me practice bow drawing and aiming for half an hour. I couldn't stand it, so after Khan Ama came to the archery pavilion for a surprise inspection and punished me again, I simply went all out and hugged Khan Ama's thighs and started crying loudly. In the end, Khan Ama softened his heart and ignored me..."
Yinzuo was quite satisfied with what he said above, and felt that what he said was very objective and rational, without any artistic processing. However, the eldest prince Yinzhi was not satisfied. He thought that although what Yinzuo said was fine at first glance, it was completely avoiding the important issues when you think about it carefully.
"Yinzuo, what you said is not right. Let's not talk about whether you neglected to practice because of poor health or laziness. Isn't it because you wiped your snot and tears all over him, and he fought with you in the archery pavilion for more than half an hour and couldn't tear you off his body, which made him lose face and so angry that he didn't want to talk to you anymore? You don't know that although your sixth brother was weak during the horse riding and archery class, he was extremely brave when he was crying on Khan Ama's legs. The strong ones, Khan Ama and Liang Jiugong, tried hard for half an hour but couldn't pull him off Khan Ama's legs."
What Yinzhi said was really not an exaggeration at all. Yinzuo really hugged Kangxi's thighs and cried for more than half an hour. No matter how Kangxi pulled him, or how much Liang Jiugong said to him, he was not moved at all. As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Facing such a Yinzuo, Kangxi had no place to use his strength. If he hit him too hard, he was afraid of hurting him. If he hit him too lightly, it would be useless. He couldn't beat him, and he wouldn't listen to his scolding. In the end, he could only let him go.
"Hahahaha, what Sixth Brother said is right. He was able to pass Khan Ama's test back then, all thanks to his tears."
Yin Zuo didn't care at all about his brothers' ridicule. He said, "Haha, you can laugh all you want. How can your slander cover up my brilliant brilliance?"
As the saying goes, a tree without bark is doomed to die, and a man without shame is invincible. With this saying, Yinzuo can be said to be invincible over the years.
The brothers played in the training ground until the sun was about to set before returning to Yinzhen's residence. After a simple wash, Yinzuo looked at the sky and saw that it was almost time for dinner. He was too tired to move, so he planned to have a dinner at his eldest brother's place before returning.
"I tried the cooking skills of the chef here at noon today and it's pretty good. I feel so weak and lazy right now. I wonder if you can prepare dinner for us."
When Yinzhen heard what Yinzuo said, he immediately said, "I must take care of it. Not to mention one meal, I must take care of it even if it's ten or a hundred meals. Otherwise, I don't know how you will slander me when you go out in the future."
So before dinner, Yinzuo saw Ihana again, who was brought over by the first wife to greet them. However, compared to her high spirits when they met in the morning, the little girl now exuded a sense of dejection all over her body.
"Hey, our little golden flower was fine this morning, but now she looks so listless after not seeing her all afternoon. Maybe she got upset."
It would have been better if Yinzuo didn't ask, but when he opened his mouth, the little girl felt even more aggrieved. She curled her lips and tears came down immediately.
"Ah, ah, ah, why are you still crying? Brother, sister-in-law, you are watching from the side. I really didn't bully your daughter."
The eldest wife looked at the somewhat flustered Yinzuo, gave him a slightly apologetic smile, pulled Ihana to her side and coaxed her softly for a few words until the little girl stopped crying, then she stood up and explained to Yinzuo and the others.
"Excuse me, my brothers. Ihana is currently learning needlework from Nanny. She got pricked by a needle a few times today and was scolded by Nanny for not learning well. She's a little unhappy now. She's been very depressed since she came back. I coaxed her for a long time before bringing her here, but I didn't expect that she would still offend you brothers."
Not to mention that the child didn't do anything out of line, even if there were some inappropriate things, Yinzuo and his uncles would not bother with a six-year-old child. Everyone said that it was okay and comforted the little girl. The eldest wife just came over to listen to their greetings, chatted for a few words, and then took her daughter back. It can be said that she came and left in a hurry.
"Brother, besides needlework, what else are our nieces learning these days?"
Yinzuo's question stumped Yinzhi, the hands-off boss. His daughters' upbringing was usually taken care of by his wife. At most, he would take them out to play when he had free time. How could he know what they were learning?
"You've got me stumped by this question, but I suppose it's just about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework."
