After a stroll around Qingxi Book House, Yinzuo lost a large sum of money. After returning to Enze Garden, he felt more and more painful. He looked listless for several days because of his poor appetite. In just a few days, he lost a lot of weight.
"Master, the weather is nice today, why don't we go out for a walk?"
Dexi has been worried to death these past two days. Ever since his master came back from Qingxi Book House a few days ago, he has been acting completely strangely. He either sighs all day long or sits there in a daze, just like he is now. He doesn't know what's so beautiful about the lotus leaves in the lotus pond, but he has been sitting here looking at them for several days.
Unsurprisingly, Dexi's inquiry did not elicit any response from his master. He helplessly winked at Xia He, who was waiting nearby, signaling her to go ahead.
"Master, you haven't had a good appetite these past few days. How about I make you your favorite braised short ribs at noon today? Try it and see if my hand is still there."
Compared to Dexi's inquiry which fell on deaf ears, Xia He was a little better off, at least she got a few words from her master.
"No, I'm not hungry."
De Xi and Xia He looked at each other, and both saw two words in each other's worried eyes. It's bad. You know, his master usually loves to eat and drink the most, and now he doesn't even eat his favorite braised pork ribs. It can be seen that this matter is really serious.
The two men were now helpless in dealing with their master, and could only go to Chunxiang, who was usually the calmest, and hope that she could make a decision for them. After all, this was not a solution. If their master really starved to death in his own garden, then those of them who served him would be in trouble.
Dexi, Xiahe, and Chunxiang have all been with Yinzuo since childhood and are familiar with each other. After they got together, they decided that they would have to trouble the Fourth Master with this matter. Although they couldn't get a single word out of their master now, they believed that as long as their Fourth Master came, they would be able to find out.
Yinzhen has been so busy with disaster relief recently that he has been running around. When he received the news from Dexi, he had just returned to his residence from the yamen. When he heard that something had happened to Yinzuo, he hurriedly followed Dexi without even having time to change his clothes. When he entered Shuyizhai where Yinzuo lived, he saw Yinzuo sitting by the lotus pond from a distance and was almost scared. It had been such a long time since they last saw each other, how could he have lost so much weight?
"Dexi, what happened to your master? How come he has lost so much weight in just seven or eight days?"
Well, you have stumped me. If I could figure it out, would I have asked you to come over even though I knew you were extremely busy?
"Fourth Master, I know you've been busy lately, but I'm at my wit's end. My master has been like this since returning from Qingxi Book House a few days ago. Every day, he's either sighing or staring blankly at the lotus pond. His appetite isn't very good either..."
Yinzhen also knew Yinzuo's temperament. Although he seemed easy to talk to, he was not completely without temper. Dexi naturally could not ask him about things he didn't want to say, so he didn't make things difficult for Dexi and walked towards the pavilion where Yinzuo was sitting.
"Why have you lost so much weight these days? What's wrong with you? Have you called a doctor?"
After Yinzhen asked three questions in a row, he finally brought Yinzuo back to his senses. He glanced at Yinzhen in front of him, and then at Dexi who was peeking at him from a distance. What was there that he didn't understand? He must have scared them these past few days, and they couldn't do anything about him, so they had to ask Yinzhen, who could control him, to come over.
"Fourth brother, you don't know how I live now. It's really miserable. I'm not feeling well physically, I'm feeling sick. Khan Ama is so cruel. He withheld money from me..."
After feeling aggrieved for so many days, he finally saw his relatives. Yinzuo was in tears and complained about his father to Yinzhen mercilessly. Yinzhen, who already knew the whole story, frowned and felt itchy in his hands. However, he understood from Yinzuo's crying that this guy was so poor and generous after being poor by Khan Ama, and after he came back, he felt more and more at a disadvantage, so he regretted it. He was so distressed that he couldn't eat or sleep well for several days and lost so much weight because of worry.
It has to be said that Yinzhen still understood his younger brother Yinzuo, and his guess was absolutely correct. Didn't Yinzuo regret it after pretending to be smart in front of Kangxi and coming back the more he thought about it?
Yinzhen looked at his arm which was tightly grasped by Yinzuo's hand, sighed helplessly, took some effort to pull his hand out of Yinzuo's arms, and patted Yinzuo's shoulder.
"Alright, stop crying like that. Seeing how little you've done, I thought something serious had happened. Since the money has been given to Khan Ama, there's no reason to ask for it back. If you really feel bad about losing it, Fourth Brother will give you some later."
Yinzuo vented out what he had been holding in his heart, which was a way to vent his depression. When he heard his fourth brother say that he would give him more money, he quickly shook his head.
"Forget it, Fourth Brother, you're always so eager to make every penny count, so where are you going to get the money to give me? Besides, I'm not short of money right now, but I just lost a large sum of money for nothing, and I feel really bad..."
I see. It's just that he's poor and generous, but someone accidentally plucked his hair out. How can he feel good about that? Seeing the painful expression on Yinzuo's face, Yinzhen pinched his thigh and took great effort to hold back the smile on his lips. But if you look closely, you can still see a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.
Although Yinzhen's actions were concealed, Yinzuo was sitting next to him and could see his fourth brother's actions. Well, there was no way to coax him this time.
"Fourth brother, you really came here to laugh at me. What kind of life am I in? My own father is always trying to cheat me out of money, and my own brother is laughing at me. I'm really like Lin Daiyu burying flowers, lamenting my miserable fate..."
Seeing that this man could not be coaxed, Yinzhen simply couldn't bear it anymore. Soon, the voices of Yinzhen's laughter and Yinzuo's anger could be heard from Shu Yi Zhai.
"Fourth brother...Okay, starting today, we're no longer number one in the world."
However, this commotion was not entirely without benefits. After being laughed at by his fourth brother, our Sixth Prince turned his grief and anger into appetite. He immediately asked Dexi to go to the kitchen and order a table full of dishes. He pulled his fourth brother to sit at the table, personally cleared the dishes in front of him, and let him watch him sweep the table.
