Chapter 478 I know you're dramatic, but let's not act yet.
Both were rowing boats to catch fish on the lake, but Yin Tang was beaten with a bamboo stick, while Yin Zuo was simply put down gently without his father even lifting him up high.
"Sixth Brother was right before. It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others. It's the same thing, so why am I the only one who got beaten up..."
No, we're talking about Xiao Jiu. It's been so many years, haven't you figured it out yet? Why is it that only you get beaten up? Don't you understand? It's because she's the only little darling in our Khan's heart.
Yinti looked at Yintang, who was sitting there sighing, and wanted to go up and comfort him, but in the end he didn't move. Alas, the two of them were equally important in his father's heart, so who would comfort whom?
It was a hot day outside, and Yinzhuo had sweated a lot from all the commotion. The first thing he did when he got back to his quarters was to have someone take him to wash up.
When he came out after washing up and changing, he was visibly stunned to see Yinti, Yintang, and Yinyi sitting in the flower hall drinking tea. He wondered why they were all here.
"Big brother, you've had a long day, why aren't you going home to rest? What are you doing here? And Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi, what's going on with you two?"
If Yinzhuo hadn't mentioned going back to rest, it wouldn't have been a problem, but as soon as he did, Yinti's gaze immediately turned towards him.
"You still have the nerve to say that? Who was it that said they were tired and sleepy, and their whole body ached when we were at the cloth warehouse? And what happened? You turned around and went fishing in the lake. You seem to be in good spirits. How about we go back to the cloth warehouse and practice a bit?"
What's the point of going back? What's the point of training? I know my own limitations. If I go to the cloth warehouse, I'll probably only be the one being trained by you.
Thinking of this, Yinzhuo did not hesitate at all and immediately performed the "Xi Shi holding her heart" pose for his elder brother. From being lively and energetic just now to being frail and weak now, it only took a moment. Yintang and Yinxi, who were watching from the side, were dumbfounded.
"Brother, I suddenly feel a bit unwell. My whole body feels weak, and my chest feels really tight. How about this, let's not practice today. We can spar again when I feel better."
Yinzhuo's somewhat exaggerated performance was truly laughable. Yinti glared at him in annoyance, got up, walked over, and smacked Yinzhuo on the forehead.
"Alright, I know you're dramatic, but let's not act yet. Come on, let me ask you something: when do we get back to this point?"
"I know the answer to this question," Yinzhuo said, rubbing his forehead where his older brother had hit him. He grinned and said to Yinti, "I know the answer to this question."
"That's hard to say. It depends on when I get better. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after, maybe it'll be a long time from now..."
Although he knew that Yinzhuo was not one to say anything nice, Yinti couldn't help but grab Yinzhuo's ear when he heard that it was a long way off. "A long way off, huh? Fine, then I'll collect some interest today."
Yinzhuo didn't struggle when someone grabbed his ear. He let Yinti twist it a few times until he felt he had vented his anger and let go. Only then did he raise his hand to rub his reddened ear.
Yinzhi and Yinzhen watched with amusement as their sixth brother, Yinzhuo, was being disciplined by having his ears pulled. After all, they were usually the ones being scolded by their sixth brother, so it was a rare sight to see him suffer a setback, and they were eager to see the spectacle.
What's that saying again? Fortune changes like the wheel of luck. Yin Tang and Yin Yi were just watching the show when they heard Yin Zuo, who had just finished rubbing his ears, speak up.
“Little Nine, you still have the leisure to sit here? Have you forgotten what your father just said? You’re not allowed to leave until you’ve copied the Diamond Sutra ten times. Hurry up and go back to copy the book. Little Ten, don’t be idle either. As the saying goes, brothers share happiness and hardship. Since you two laughed at me together just now, I’ll do your father’s favor and let you copy the Diamond Sutra ten times as well. Go on, no need to thank me too much.”
Thank you? What am I supposed to thank you for? Thank you for the fact that you got me locked up and had my hand broken the moment you opened your mouth?
But as the saying goes, circumstances are beyond one's control. Even if Yinzhi was extremely unwilling to accept this punishment from Yinzuo, would he dare to refuse? You must know that in this matter, the Sixth Brother truly had the authority to make decisions for his father.
Otherwise, if the child is disobedient, a good scolding will do the trick. Look, after being disciplined, Yinzhen is much more obedient. Whether or not he copies the book today is actually up to his sixth brother. Yinzhen is truly regretting it now.
Sigh, I was careless after all. Watching the show is fine, but I shouldn't have made my desire to watch the drama unfold so obvious. Well, what can I do now? To avoid copying the book, I'll just have to appease them.
"Sixth Brother, I know I was wrong. Can we stop copying the book? I'm truly innocent today. You were the one who insisted on dragging me into the lake. I already got a scolding from Father for no reason, but if I have to copy the book again, I'll be so wronged..."
After hearing what Yinzhen said, Yinzuo thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense. It was indeed his fault that Xiaojiu was scolded today. After all, the child was fishing peacefully by the lake, and it was he who insisted on dragging him into the lake to catch fish. He was scolded and made to copy books, which was indeed a bit unfair to the child.
"Xiao Jiu is right. Sixth Brother dragged you into this today. How about this, you don't have to copy this book. Xiao Shi, you and Ninth Brother have always had a good relationship, so why don't you copy those ten copies of the Diamond Sutra for him?"
Listen to this! Is this even human? What do you mean I copied it for him? You make it sound so easy. Do you even know how many characters are in ten recitations of the Diamond Sutra? That's 50,320 characters! Twenty recitations would be 106,400 characters. What? If I really copied it, I wouldn't be able to leave the house for the next few days.
As the saying goes, it's better for a fellow Daoist to die than for a poor one. Just as Yinzhen was about to say something to defend himself, Yinzhen strode over and covered Yinzhen's mouth. "Sorry, brother, you'll have to suffer today. After all, one of us brothers has to run away."
"Sixth Brother, that's why we're brothers, we really understand each other. Our little Tenth's favorite thing to do is copy books, look how happy he is he can't even speak. Since Sixth Brother is tired, we won't keep you from resting any longer. Little Tenth, come on, Ninth Brother will take you home..."
Now that things had come to this, Yinzhen had resigned himself to his fate. When Yinzhen covered his mouth and dragged him out, he simply stopped struggling. Yinzhen only released his hand from Yinzhen's mouth after pulling him out of the Wushu Coolness. Before anyone could question him, Yinzhen quickly waved his five fingers in front of Yinzhen.
"Little Ten, I'm sorry for what happened today, but don't worry, I won't let you copy the book for me for nothing. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you five thousand taels of silver for each copy you do..."
