Isn't there a saying that money makes the world go round? Although Yinzhen is a man of steel, he is poor.
If he could get five thousand taels of silver for copying a book once, wouldn't that be fifty thousand taels for copying it ten times? He really wanted to go back and beg his sixth brother, or should he punish his ninth brother by making him copy it a few more times?
You ask Yin? Where is the backbone of a prince? Haha, this is true. Have you heard the saying that a penny can make a hero fall? Backbone is something that cannot be eaten or drunk. How can it be as real as 50,000 taels of silver?
"Nineth brother is right. My favorite thing to do on weekdays is copying books. Let's go, hurry up, let's not waste time here. My hands are itching right now, so I want to go back and copy some books to relieve the pain..."
Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for others, but for Yin'er, the famous God of Wealth, it is a drop in the bucket. Yin'er took the blame for him out of righteousness, and his brother did not hesitate and sent someone to return the silver note to Yin'er that night.
As soon as he got the silver note, Yin?'s motivation to copy books was immediately full. He worked all night long until dawn, and he looked very energetic.
Compared to Yin Zuo's excitement, Yin Zuo, who ran for half a day yesterday, lay down early this morning. He is never a person who would let himself be wronged. Since he doesn't want to get up, he just goes back to sleep.
Kangxi always turned a blind eye to Yinzuo's sleeping in. This time, Yinzuo slept until after noon before getting up from the bed. He wandered around to his father's residence with dazed eyes. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he was startled by the person sitting opposite his father.
"Dexi, come and help me out. It must be that the way I entered the door just now was wrong. Shouldn't my fourth brother be in the capital right now? Why do I seem to have seen him just now? Come on, let's go out and come in again..."
Yinzhen was stunned by Yinzuo's obvious self-deception. Seeing that he actually turned around and planned to go out and try again, he hurriedly got up and walked over to pull him in.
"Weren't you quite formidable when you wrote to provoke me before? What? Are you scared now? I should be staying in the capital right now. What? Only you are allowed to be free and easy here, while I deserve to stay in the capital and be treated like a slave, suffering and toil?"
Yinzuo is now in the hands of his fourth brother, so it is impossible for him to escape. Besides, even if the monk can escape, he cannot escape the temple. As the saying goes, the early death means the early reincarnation. It's his own fault that he was a little too proud of himself before, and now he has to go on regardless of his shortcomings.
"Fourth brother, please listen to my explanation. I really didn't mean to provoke you before. I just wrote to you because I thought you couldn't come to Rehe, so I wanted to share my experiences with you, didn't I?"
Yinzuo always had the ability to make something dead seem alive with his mouth. Yinzhen was too lazy to argue with him. He pulled him back to his previous seat and let go of the hand that was holding Yinzuo's wrist.
Although Kangxi, a powerful backer, is now sitting in front of Yinzuo, the power of the four words "eldest brother is like father" cannot be underestimated. Yinzuo has been spoiled by Kangxi since he was a child, so Yinzhen's discipline of him is naturally stricter. This also leads to the fact that Yinzuo is obviously more afraid of Yinzhen, his biological brother, than Kangxi, his biological father.
But being intimidated is not fear after all. When Yinzhen frowned, Yinzuo did not dare to act rashly. But as soon as his expression relaxed a little, Yinzuo would immediately start to tremble again.
"Hmph, Fourth Brother is so stingy. What do you mean I'm free and easy here while you're working like a slave in the capital? Fourth Brother, I'm afraid you've forgotten that you're the Crown Prince now, so isn't it normal for you to work yourself to death? But Fourth Brother, you don't have to envy me. After all, our father gave you his family business. Fourth Brother, work hard. Whether I can continue to live this free and easy life in the future depends entirely on you..."
As the heir, Yinzhen really had something to say about Yinzuo's shameless remarks. Yes, it was true that he inherited Khan Ama's family business, but didn't he also inherit his group of troublesome sons at the same time?
In Yinzhen's view, none of his brothers can be worry-free. His eldest brother, second brother and third brother are needless to say, each of them is difficult to deal with. No matter how high your status is as the Crown Prince, it is useless because your eldest brother will not acknowledge you. As the saying goes, once a brother, always a brother. It is not impossible for him to pick you up and throw you around if they have a disagreement.
Not to mention his second brother, who looked gentle and refined, but was actually a smiling tiger. And his third brother? He was a jealous jar. Every time he dealt with matters between him and Yinzuo, he was like an acrobat walking on a tightrope. If there was any injustice, he would fall directly into the jealous jar.
The fifth brother is not competitive, but he is always slow in doing things. That guy is just like the sloth in the story that the sixth brother told me before. Yinzhen has always been decisive in doing things, and he wants to kick him when he sees him dilly-dallying.
The seventh brother usually keeps a low profile, the eighth brother is far away from the emperor, not to mention, Yin'er and Yin? are two scoundrels who dare to fight with anyone, only the sixth brother can deal with them, the twelfth brother was raised by Su Malagu, he is a Buddhist, but he is still stubborn.
As for Thirteen and Fourteen, let's not even mention them. Yinzhen is regretting it so much now. He shouldn't have suggested that Fourteen should stay with him more after Concubine Min's death. Look at what kind of good kids they have become because of that little bastard Fourteen. He was so angry that he even slammed the table and glared at him.
As for the brat in front of him, he is even more terrible. With his Khan Ama as his support, he is lawless. Look, he is so arrogant now.
Yinzuo had no idea at this moment that his words had caused his fourth brother to complain about all of them in his heart. Seeing Yinzhen staring at the chessboard and not making a move, he thought that Yinzhen was stumped by the game, so he leaned over, put his hand on Yinzhen's shoulder, and looked at him for a long time, then picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
The saying "kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of your own" was exactly what Yinzuo was talking about. This move of his chess piece did take out one of his father's pieces, but it also completely blocked Yinzhen's retreat.
"Xiao Liu, be obedient and find a place to sit down and rest. If you're hungry, ask Eunuch Liang to bring you some snacks. Fourth Brother really doesn't need your help..."
Although Yinzhen's words were tactful, Yinzuo was not a fool. How could he not hear the full disgust in his fourth brother's seemingly gentle tone? Hey, you think he's not good enough, right? He really won't leave today.
"Father, please look at Fourth Brother. I just saw him lost in thought, so I kindly helped him play chess. It would have been fine if he didn't appreciate it, but he actually despised me and wanted to chase me away. No way. I'm not sleepy or hungry now, and I really want to play chess. Come, Father, please sit over to the side, and I'll meet him..."
