Chapter 525 Father, this chapter has no door, can you open a window?
But it was different when Yinzhuo said it. Since he said they could go to the district horse farm to choose horses, then they were 100% sure they could go in and bring the horses out.
With Yinzhuo's words, the fish-catching competition became much more entertaining than before. Yinzhuo ordered the boat to be rowed forward a short distance and finally stopped not far from where Hongxu and the others were catching fish.
"Hey, Hongxi, are you even up to the task? This is your level, and you call yourself the eldest brother? Hongtun, Hongming, it seems your eldest brother isn't any better, at least not as good as Sixth Uncle's eldest brother. Hey, Hongyu, I just praised your father, and you've already embarrassed me so much! We had the fish in our hands, how could someone else steal it? It seems your second brother isn't quite as good as mine either. Hey, Honghui, what are you dawdling about over there? What's wrong, got a leg cramp? Let me tell you, if we lose this competition today, I'm going to tell your father about you. Seriously slacking off, is that okay...?"
Don't be fooled by the fact that Yinzhu didn't participate in the competition; his sense of participation was off the charts. Good heavens, he was watching people catching fish in the lake and was even more excited than the participants. Dexi looked at his master jumping around and was really worried. Well, it seems that his master's voice will be ruined again after he goes back today.
Whether his voice is ruined or not is obviously not what Ginza is concerned about right now. His attention is completely focused on the group of people in the lake. He's giving instructions to one person and criticizing another. He's so busy that he doesn't even have time to drink some water.
With Yinzhuo leading the way and cheering them on, Hongxi and Hongyu's fish-catching competition was truly spectacular. As the saying goes, "Old ginger is spicier," and these two had certainly lived up to their reputation. The final result was almost a foregone conclusion, with Hongxi and Hongyu taking first and second place respectively.
Yinzhuo got up and strolled around the row of buckets, then nodded with great satisfaction. Not bad, although there were more or less fish, there were fish in them. Whether it was fishing or catching fish, the important thing was the fish. If there were fish, then the work was not in vain.
Yinzhuo always kept his word. Since he had already promised that the top two finishers in the competition could go to the horse farm to choose their horses, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.
But as I said before, although the horse farm is indeed his property, he is not the owner. If he wants to go in and choose a horse, he should at least ask the owner's opinion.
However, there's no rush. First of all, they're still in Rehe and haven't returned to the capital yet. Yinzhu didn't think it was a big deal at all. His father has always been generous to him. It's just two horses. Would his father make things difficult for him over this?
After the competition, Yinzhuo did not let Hongxi and the others go back. He sent someone to take them downstairs to wash up and change clothes. Then, he led a large group of people to Shuifangyanxiu behind Wushuqingliang. He then had someone carry fish to the imperial kitchen and ordered more than a dozen dishes. The meaning was very clear: he wanted to have a whole fish feast that night.
The imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen were quite skilled. Even though the only ingredients Yinzhuo provided were fish, they still managed to make a wonderful dish. After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Yinzhuo didn't keep them any longer. He sat there and watched Hongxu and Hongxi leave. After they came out, Yinzhuo got up, tidied himself up, and led his men toward his father's residence.
Yinzhuo's side is now entirely under Kangxi's control. How could Kangxi not know about the commotion he caused this afternoon? Now that he knows the whole story, Kangxi is naturally well aware that Yinzhuo used the horses from his horse farm as a prize.
Yinzhuo never hid anything from his father. He was very confident in his position in Kangxi's heart. Look, he spoke directly to his father as soon as he came in.
"Father, could you give me two more horses from your Imperial Horse Ranch? My son already bragged about it when he was playing with the kids this afternoon..."
For Emperor Kangxi, as the emperor who possessed the wealth of the entire world, giving his son two horses was naturally not a big deal. However, the old father was determined to make things difficult for his son Yinzhuo today.
"Oh, so you've already bragged about it, but what does that have to do with me? You're the one who made the boast, why should you use my things to cover it up? Let me tell you, there's no way you're going to get a horse from me like this..."
Oh dear, how can we not have one? Without a horse, what am I going to use to pay the betting odds? Although Yinzhuo knew that his father was probably just teasing him, what could he do now?
"Father, if there's no other way, please open a window for your son. Look, he's already bragged so much. If you don't agree, won't he lose face big time? Father, can you bear to see your son unable to hold his head up in front of all the younger generation?"
Kangxi, of course, couldn't bear it. He had only wanted to tease Yinzhuo, but now that Yinzhuo was grabbing his arm and shaking him around, he couldn't keep up the act anymore. He used a little force to break free from Yinzhuo's grasp, then looked up and knocked Yinzhuo's forehead.
"Alright, you're almost forty years old, why are you still acting like a child? It's just two horses, you can arrange for someone to take Hongxi and the others to the horse farm to choose them. But I really have to say something to you, when are you going to get rid of this habit of making things up..."
Now that Yinzhuo had achieved his goal, he naturally didn't care about his father's few words of nagging. Since he wasn't in a hurry to go back and rest, he simply found a place to sit down and let his father nag him to his heart's content.
How could Kangxi not know what kind of person his own child was? Just by looking at Yinzhuo, he knew that Yinzhuo had already switched to a "dead pig doesn't fear boiling water" mode. He wasn't just sitting around doing nothing. Why would he say anything that was destined to be ignored?
"Yinzuo, get up now and go back to your room to sleep. I don't want to see you right now..."
Yinzhuo was clearly not expected that his father would suddenly tell him to leave. He paused in his action of holding the fruit and about to put it to his mouth, and stared blankly for a few seconds before looking up at Kangxi.
"You don't care to see me now, and you want me to go back to sleep, huh? Fine, then I'll leave now. I'll come back to see you tomorrow when you want to see me again..."
If it were any other prince who was chased away by Kangxi in such a rude manner, they would probably have been so frightened that they would have knelt down and begged for forgiveness. But look at Yinzhuo! He was only stunned for a few seconds at first, and then immediately acted as if nothing had happened. He threw the fruit he was holding into the plate, got up, and walked out the door.
