Chapter 339 Brine for Tofu: One Thing Subdues Another.
Hey, how can you talk like that? What do you mean by "learn from him early"? You've already been slapped! Yinzhu was holding Hongxu and showing him the fruits of his labor today when he heard Yinti's words. He immediately turned his gaze towards his elder brother.
"Brother, what you're saying is wrong. So what if he caused a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace? The fact that he could cause a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace just proves that your monkey is well-raised and very capable. And if you're disciplining your son, just discipline him. Why drag me into this? What do you mean by saying that if he had learned from me earlier, he would have already been slapped? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I'm going to make a scene with you."
Yinti's words were just a casual remark made in the heat of the moment. Now that Yinzuo was demanding a reasonable explanation, he couldn't come up with one immediately. Yinti stammered and hesitated for a long time before looking up and seeing Yinreng standing not far away, watching the commotion with great interest. So he quickly strode over and pulled him into the fray as well.
"Second brother, what are you standing here for? Hurry up and give Sixth Brother a reasonable explanation, or if he makes a scene, your big brother won't help you."
What does it mean to be sitting at home when a pot falls from the sky? Look, this is it. Even though Yinreng is usually clever and quick-witted, he was stunned by the huge pot his elder brother threw at him. No, who's helping whom between us? If I remember correctly, what Xiao Liu said just now was to you, right?
Having served as the Crown Prince for many years, Yinreng's ability to adapt to changing circumstances was quite good, to say the least. Although he was caught off guard by the unexpected pot falling from the sky, he quickly recovered, forcefully breaking free from Yinti's grip on his arm, taking two steps back, and smiling.
"Big brother has always prided himself on being a hero. As the saying goes, one person does something and one person takes responsibility for it. I'm not going to take the blame for you. Little Six, I don't think big brother can give a reasonable explanation today. If you want to make a scene, you'd better hurry up, otherwise if Father breaks up the party, you'll suffer a huge loss. Look, how many people are here at Shou Kang Palace today. You'll have a lot of fun putting on your show."
Don't be fooled by Yinreng's words that he won't take the blame for Yinti. Listen to the underlying meaning in his words; every sentence is a reminder to Yinzuo that there are too many people here today, so please don't cause trouble.
"Hmph, Second Brother says he won't take the blame for Eldest Brother, but deep down he's still on his side. You know Shou Kang Palace is lively today, yet you still encouraged me to go and cause trouble. I may be thick-skinned, but that doesn't mean I have no shame. There are so many juniors here. I'm not stupid enough to go and embarrass myself..."
Yinreng listened with a smile to Yinzuo's complaints, then walked up to him, patted Yinzuo's shiny forehead, took his arm, and turned to invite Yinti and the others to sit down at a round table.
"Big brother, look at our little sixth son, he's quite self-aware. So you know you're shameless? When you, as an uncle, were mingling with a bunch of kids and making a ruckus with them, didn't you feel ashamed? Alright, don't be angry. Second brother was wrong about what happened earlier. I shouldn't have sided with big brother instead of you. Here, have an orange to sweeten your mouth. You can't get angry on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
Yinzhuo's anger was just an act. Seeing his second brother humble himself and take the initiative to admit his mistake, he naturally took the opportunity to back down. He reached out and took the orange that Yinreng had peeled and handed over, broke off a segment and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he pointed to the nuts in the fruit plate on the table.
"Big brother, I want to eat walnuts. You're strong, can you help me squeeze a few?"
"Hongyu, don't just stand around. Pick out some of those chestnuts that are ripe and peel them for me. They're delicious, but peeling them is such a pain..."
"Hongxi, what are you looking at? There are hazelnuts right in front of you, peel them for me."
"Hongqing, bring me that candied fruit in front of you. This orange is a bit sour, I need to sweeten it up... Hey, second brother, what are you looking at? Keep peeling the orange."
Good heavens, in just a few words, everyone sitting here has been assigned helpers by Yinzhuo. The Crown Prince is helping to peel oranges, the Prince of the County is helping to crush walnuts, and the imperial grandsons are busy serving tea and water, peeling chestnuts and hazelnuts. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would believe it?
"They say brine sets tofu, and everything has its counter. After all these years, I've finally seen someone who can tame Yinti's stubborn temper. Look at him, he's so obedient, he does whatever you tell him to do. It's so satisfying to watch..."
Goodness, this is truly a mother's love. She doesn't hold back at all when it comes to criticizing her own son. She's even happy to see her son being bossed around by others. Is she right to do that?
"Sixth Prince, I advise you to stop acting so rude. The Crown Prince peels oranges for you, and I, a prince, am here to crack walnuts for you. Hongyu, Hongqing, and Honghui, these three future heirs, serve you tea and water, and you just sit there waiting for us to feed you. If you're so capable, why don't you just fly to the sky?"
Yinzuo ignored Yinti's complaints and gestured towards Hongxi with his chin. Hongxi immediately picked up two hazelnuts and offered them to his sixth uncle. Yinzuo opened his mouth, chewed the hazelnuts a few times, and swallowed them before turning his gaze to Yinti sitting next to him.
"Brother, what are you saying? Aren't I already in heaven right now? With my elder brothers, who are as close as brothers, and with my filial nephews, Hongxi, Hongyu, Hongqing, and Honghui, I am already as happy as if I were in the highest heaven."
It's no wonder that Yinzhuo is so good at sweet-talking people. Just look at what he said; it made Yinti, Hongxi, and the others all smile. Even the usually composed Yinreng's smile was much wider than usual.
"Wow, I've really seen something today, Sixth Brother. So this is how you usually charm people. Look at Big Brother's smile, his mouth is practically stretched to his cheeks..."
No wonder every beating Yinzhen endured was earned through his own strength. Look, with just one sentence, he offended everyone at the table. I ask you, are you impressed by his skill?
"Xiao Jiu, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year. Don't force me to slap you in front of everyone who's having such a good time. If you can't speak properly, just shut up and listen to what's going on. That way, no one will sell you off because you're mute. And how many times have I told you? I'm not trying to sweet-talk people. I'm using the art of language. Isn't it good to make everyone happy with just one sentence? Do you have to offend everyone at the table with one sentence like you do? Xiao Jiu, remember, words have power. Learning to speak well is not only a reflection of your personal cultivation, but also a reflection of your abilities."
