Chapter 494 You must have been a little piglet in your past life, kid.
Although Yinzhuo seemed to be lying in bed, the idea of going out to play was clearly very appealing to him. His mind was still half asleep, but his body had already reached out to Yinti uncontrollably.
The weather outside was indeed as good as Yinti had said, with blue skies and white clouds, a rare treat for winter. In keeping with the principle that good brothers share both good and bad times, Yinti and his companions made sure that no one was left out of the fun this time.
Although Emperor Kangxi never restricted Yinzhi's freedom, the guy was really lazy. Unless he encountered something that really interested him, he rarely went out. So even though he had been in Zunhua for several days, he hadn't gone out for a stroll.
Zunhua is just a small county town, naturally not as bustling as the capital. And it was the dead of winter, so there really wasn't much to see. After leaving the manor, Yinzhuo and his companions rode around the county town for a while. When they saw that it was almost time, they turned their horses around and headed to the restaurant they had booked in advance.
Although it's called a restaurant, it's located in a very remote area. If it weren't for someone familiar with the local area guiding them, Yinzhuo and his companions might not have been able to find it.
Since Yinzhuo and his entourage were quite large and of high status, they naturally wouldn't dine in the main hall. The restaurant's only private room couldn't accommodate so many people, so after some discussion, they decided to have the tables set up in the restaurant's backyard.
"This place is really nice. It's not only quiet, but also more spacious than the private rooms upstairs. The winter sun isn't too strong here, so it's quite comfortable to dine here."
This stewed goose truly lives up to its reputation as a local specialty. As expected, Yinzhuo ate until he was stuffed. After the meal, no one rushed to leave. Yinzhuo, holding his stomach, strolled around the courtyard a few times. After feeling a bit better, he asked someone to go to the front and ask for two chairs to be put together. The person in question simply leaned over there and fell asleep.
Yinti and the others clearly did not expect Yinzuo to pull such a stunt on them. They looked at each other for a long time, and in the end, the eldest brother took all the blame.
"Little Six, you must have been a little piglet in your past life, otherwise how could you fall asleep anywhere? The sun looks nice today, but we're still outside. Get up quickly, or you'll definitely get sick if you keep sleeping like this."
After eating and drinking his fill, Yinzhuo became sleepy, which made things difficult for Yinti and Yinreng. They took turns pulling and tugging, but they couldn't move him an inch from the chair.
"Brother, I think we should just let it go. His little arms and legs can't withstand your pulling like this. If he gets hurt, it'll be hard to explain to Father. We don't have anything to do this afternoon anyway. Why don't we give the shopkeeper some money and ask him to find us a room so we can leave after the little brat wakes up?"
Unable to be woken up or moved, it seemed that there was no other way but the method suggested by Yinzhi. Yinti called out to the guards waiting nearby, took off the purse from his waist and threw it to them, telling them to make arrangements.
A person who can serve in front of princes and nobles must be quite capable, to say the least. Before long, the guard returned, along with the restaurant owner.
"Gentlemen, this is a room I use for my own rest. It's simple, but it's clean enough. Please rest here in peace. If you need anything, just send someone to fetch me..."
None of these businessmen are fools. Everyone knows that the Emperor is currently in Zunhua. Judging from their clothing, demeanor, and accents, it's obvious at a glance that Yinzhuo and his entourage are not locals.
In addition, they brought such a large group of people, including guards and servants, that even if the boss couldn't guess their identities, he knew they were people he couldn't afford to offend. So, he naturally became extremely careful and attentive in his words and actions.
Just as the owner said, although the room was simply furnished, it was clean and spacious enough. After the restaurant owner was dismissed and the guards were sent to stand watch outside the courtyard, only Yinzhuo and his brothers remained inside.
Yinzhuo had been forcibly dragged out of bed by Yinti that morning, and now he had been sleeping for an hour without showing any sign of waking up. Yinti leaned over to the bedside, glanced at him, and then pinched Yinzhuo's nose.
"Good heavens, could I have been right? This kid must have really been a piglet in his past life, otherwise why would he eat and sleep all the time? Second brother, fifth brother, don't just sit there, come over and give me a hand. I really don't believe I can't wake him up?"
To be honest, it was too early for Yinti to make such boastful remarks. He really couldn't wake up his little pig brother. Even if someone was holding their nose and struggling to breathe, he would rather open his mouth and gasp for air than open his eyes.
Seeing that Yinti was about to reach out and cover Yinzuo's mouth, Yinreng suddenly became restless. "Brother, if you don't want to have a good time, don't drag us down with you. With your nose pinched and mouth covered, if he goes to Father Khan to complain, will we have a good day today?"
"Big brother, I advise you to let go. If you really find it boring to stay in the house, you can take some people out for a walk. If you want to go, you can come along too. I'll keep watch here."
Compared to Yinreng, Yinti's patience was really limited. Upon hearing this, he didn't hesitate and his gaze immediately turned to Yinzhi and the others, the meaning of which was very clear: who of you will come with me?
"Brother, I'll go with you. I've been sitting in the house for a while now, and my whole body is almost stiff."
Yinqi has never been one to sit still for long. The reason he has been able to hold on for so long is because of Yinti, Yinreng, and the presence of that powerful figure lying in bed keeping him in check. So, going out for a stroll is an opportunity he can't afford to miss.
Yinqi's words immediately drew a response from Yinqi and the others, who, having finally managed to get out of town, naturally wanted to explore as much as possible.
After Yinti and the others left, only Yinzuo, Yinreng, and the lazy Yinzhi remained in the room. Yinzuo was still sleeping, but Yinreng and Yinzhi couldn't just sit there idly, so they sent someone to the front to get a Go set from the shopkeeper. The two brothers sat facing each other and began to battle on the Go board.
Yinzhu slept well. He only woke up slowly after Yinti and the others had gone out for a stroll and returned. Looking at the sky outside, which was already getting dark, and then at the crowd surrounding him looking at him with inquisitive expressions, even Yinzhu, who was usually very thick-skinned, felt embarrassed at this moment.
"Um... eldest brother, second brother, third brother... could you please stop staring like that? I didn't sleep well last night because I had insomnia, that's why I'm so sleepy today..."
