Chapter 227 It's alright, young people are bound to be hot-blooded.
After the New Year, when the weather warmed up, Emperor Kangxi naturally went to Changchun Garden to avoid the noise and attend to state affairs. As his precious son, Yinzhuo had to be taken along. However, the weather was still cold, and although Enze Garden had everything, Hongxu was still too young. It was feared that the journey back and forth would make the child sick. Therefore, Urentuya decided to stay in the capital with the child.
Without his wife and children with him, Yinzhuo naturally stayed at Shufeng Pavilion in Changchun Garden this time. The current Shufeng Pavilion is much larger than before, after all, in addition to the lake by the waterside pavilion, Yuanlanzhai, which is not far away, was also allocated to him by Kangxi.
"Fourth Brother, could you please talk to Sixth Brother for me? His Yuanlanzhai is just sitting empty anyway, so why don't you let me stay there for a while and bring some life to the house? That way, Sixth Sister-in-law and my nephew will be more comfortable when they come to stay."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen turned his head and glanced at the Fourteenth Prince, then turned to look at Yinzuo, who was sitting to the side fiddling with the Nine Linked Rings.
"Sixth Brother, you heard what Fourteenth Brother said. Tell me, should I plead for him or should you plead for him? You always said our Fourteenth Brother was stupid, but seeing him today, he's not stupid at all. He even knows how to talk about his Sixth Sister-in-law and Hongxu."
Upon hearing his fourth brother's words, Yinzhuo couldn't help but chuckle. He fiddled with the jade ring in his hand and beckoned to his fourteenth brother. In the past, this dog-like action of Yinzhuo would have earned him a big eye roll from his fourteenth brother. But since he needed Yinzhuo's help, he had to bow his head. So he quickly responded and ran over to Yinzhuo.
"Fourteenth brother, it's not a bad idea for you to stay at Yuanlanzhai, but if you stay at your brother's place, you'll have to listen to your brother. It just so happens that your fourth brother is here today, so tomorrow you can send your Honghui over too, so he can stay with his fourteenth uncle and have someone to look after him."
Yinzhuo had just remembered that this year was the 43rd year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. According to history, little Honghui died on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month this year. Although Yinzhuo didn't know the specific reason for the child's death, he thought that as a time traveler, he should have some luck on him. Besides, people said that the emperor's dragon aura could protect people. So, he decided to bring the child to his side, close to Kangxi, and perhaps with some effort, he could change the child's fate of dying young. After all, this little dumpling he had watched grow up was more reliable than that narcissistic Tyrannosaurus Rex in the future.
"Alright, I'll send someone to the capital in a bit. Have your sister-in-law pack the child up and send Honghui over to you. But that kid is spoiled rotten by your fourth sister-in-law and mother. He's very naughty. If he comes, you won't have any peace and quiet."
Yinzhen was delighted with Yinzuo's decision to let Honghui move into Changchun Garden. After all, as mentioned before, Kangxi had countless sons and grandsons. Yinzhen was not particularly favored by Kangxi, so his son living in Shufeng Pavilion meant he could frequently visit Kangxi. Of course, he wouldn't refuse. Besides, the two people living here were Honghui's uncles. How could he possibly mistreat him?
Yinzhuo never expected that his fourth brother wasn't the only one with this idea. Before the afternoon was over, not only was Honghui brought over, but Hongyu, Hongqing, and Hongxi also arrived. Yinzhuo looked at the row of little rascals in front of him and felt utterly overwhelmed.
"I'm telling you, Second Brother, Eldest Brother, and Third Brother, it's one thing, but what's the matter with you? If I remember correctly, your Taoyuan Bookstore isn't small, is it? Are you just missing a room for my eldest nephew?"
Of course, Yinreng wouldn't be short of a room for his son. It's mainly because Hongxi insisted on coming over after hearing that Hongyu, Hongqing, and Honghui had all come. Yinreng was planning to be a kind father like Kangxi, so how could he refuse his child's reasonable request? Besides, Taoyuan Study was also in Changchun Garden. He could come and visit his son whenever he missed him; it wasn't a big deal.
"Sigh~ What are you saying, Sixth Brother? Second Brother is only doing this because Eldest Brother, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother have all sent their children to you. If I didn't send mine, wouldn't I seem out of place? Don't worry, my Hongxi is very obedient and won't cause you any trouble."
Yinreng was right. Despite his young age, Hongxi exuded a sense of composure and was very intelligent. He certainly wouldn't cause Yinzuo any trouble. Yinti and Yinzhi wanted to assure Yinzuo that their little brat wouldn't cause any trouble, but as his fathers, they knew their son's character well enough to offer only a dry remark.
"Sixth brother, this one of mine is still not obedient, so feel free to deal with him."
Now that things have been said to this extent, how could Yinzhuo, as the uncle, possibly kick the other person's children out? As the saying goes, raising one sheep is the same as herding a flock of sheep. If you're worried that these little brats will cause trouble together, that's easy to handle. Since you can't control the number of sheep, just add a shepherd to watch over them.
"Fourteen, when you go back to pack your things, tell your thirteenth brother that I have a very difficult task to give him and that he should move to my Yuanlanzhai with you."
Since these little guys moved in, Shufengxuan has been nothing short of bustling. How bustling? Well, let's just say that Yinzhuo is now really missing the family skill of the protagonist in a novel he once read—the silencing spell. He wants to turn all these little things that are shouting and jumping around in front of him into muteness, even if it's just temporarily.
"Hongxi, Hongyu, Hongqing, Honghui, you four, come here and gather around. Have you forgotten what I said before? If you live on my turf, you have to listen to me. Your father said that if you misbehave, I can take care of you myself."
Hongxi, Hongyu, and Hongqing had all suffered at the hands of their sixth uncle before and knew how terrifying he was. So they naturally behaved themselves when they heard Yinzhuo's words. But Honghui had been under his grandmother's protection all these years. In his eyes, his sixth uncle was not scary at all. Every time they met, he was always smiling and spoke very softly. So he was not afraid at all at this moment. Not only was he not afraid, but he also raised the willow branch in his hand and extended an invitation to his sixth uncle.
"Sixth Uncle, come quick! Let me tell you, horseback riding and fighting is so much fun! Would you like to come and play with us?"
"Good, very good. Young calves are not afraid of tigers!" As soon as Honghui said this, his three good brothers moved a few steps away from him in unison. It's okay, young people are bound to be a bit impetuous. They have passed the age of daring to go into dangerous places, so they won't wade into this mess.
