Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 134 Done
Yinzhen was almost amused. How dare his fourth brother say such words? Wasn't it difficult for him to argue with his brother?
"Fourth brother, fourth brother, thirteenth and fourteenth brothers are uncles, so am I not an uncle? How can I, as an uncle, not accept the writings of my own nephews?" Either you don't send any gifts to anyone, what's the difference in treatment? Others can be exempted from sending gifts, but how can he, the ninth uncle who is somewhat close to Honghui, leave out?
“I know…I know…”
It was a sunny day when a cicada or two chirped outside the study, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became tense.
Yinzhen's forehead gradually became moist, and fine beads of cold sweat broke out. His ninth brother's question was not unreasonable, and he had indeed forgotten about his ninth brother completely.
But he had his own reasons for doing this. Who told him that his ninth brother and eighth brother were close friends? They were the invisible party of the eldest prince? Yinzhen didn't want to cause any trouble, so he only sent people from the Yonghe Palace. He never thought that it would still cause a commotion!
"Ninth brother, this album was actually drawn by Honghui for his younger brothers and sisters to use as an enlightenment. It shouldn't have been passed on to others. However, when the subordinates copied it, they drew three extra copies. One was given to the queen, and the other two were given to the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers. There are no more extra copies.
But I have already given the order to have them copy a few more copies, and they will have them in a day or two, and they will definitely not forget about the ninth brother by then." This was already his limit, he would never bow his head and admit his mistakes to the ninth brother.
Yinzhen gulped down a cup of tea, and then said sarcastically: "I just hope that fourth brother will not forget about his younger brother again!" He came here to seek justice and for other reasons, so he did not argue with his fourth brother and just let the matter go.
"To be honest, Fourth Brother, I want to borrow the original painting album drawn by Honghui himself..."
Yinzhen interrupted him without hesitation: "Impossible, there is only one original album, and it is the result of Honghui's hard work for several months. I will never give it up!" Not to mention his ninth brother, even if the emperor asked for it, he would definitely...
If he has no other choice, he will still give up his love with reluctance!
Yinzhen was not angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "Fourth brother, you are worrying too much. I don't want to fight with you for the original album. I want to borrow it and print a hundred copies..."
"Yinzhen, don't you think you haven't done enough business? You actually set your sights on your nephew! That's just an ordinary and rough picture album, not worthy of being displayed in a high-class museum. Even if you print it out, few people will buy it, and it will make Honghui a laughing stock." As he spoke, Yinzhen became so angry that his face turned blue.
"Fourth brother, don't be angry or anxious. Honghui is still my brother's nephew after all. I have no grudge against him in the past or in the present. How could I ignore his situation? Just listen to me carefully!"
Yinzhen took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anger, and said calmly: "Tell me, what are you planning?"
"Fourth brother, you also know that the descendants of wealthy and powerful families are mixed, some are smart, and some are stupid. It has always been a troublesome thing to educate them. But with this picture book, not only two or three-year-old children, but even five or six, seven or eight-year-old children can easily understand the Three Character Classic.
Although Honghui's album is a little rough, its merits outweigh its flaws and it is unique. There is no substitute for it in the world. How does Fourth Brother know that this album cannot be sold?
Fourth brother, you may not believe in your younger brother’s methods, but please believe in your younger brother’s ability to do business. I have the eye for what kind of business can make money!
As for what Fourth Brother is worried about, I know it very well. As long as the origin of the album is concealed, Honghui won't be implicated, right? "
Yinzhen blurted out his inner thoughts in one breath, and at the end he bowed and begged his fourth brother to agree to this matter.
Yinzhen sneered, "How can we cover it up? Most people in the palace know about this. If the Fourteenth Master leaks the secret once, there will be a second time. Can you guarantee that he won't blurt it out in front of a bunch of people next time?"
Yinzhen sneered and said, "Isn't it Fourth Brother who has the final say in the Fourth Prince's Mansion? If you manage it more strictly and kill a chicken to scare the monkeys once, won't the news not get out? Or is it Fourth Brother, you can't control the affairs of your own mansion?"
"Nonsense! Honghui drew this album for the sake of brotherly love. How can we start a war over it? Ninth brother, stop messing around!"
Yinzhen was still unwilling to give up, and kept asking, "Then let's keep it a secret for a while. Once we sell a hundred or so copies, we won't have to worry about Honghui becoming a laughing stock! If it doesn't sell well, then I'll tell everyone that I, as your uncle, was so excited that I took the initiative to print a hundred or so copies to share with the world. Do you think this is okay?"
If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, someone will be held responsible! Now that it has come to this, even if Yinzhen doesn't want to agree, he has to give his ninth brother this face.
"Well, since you are so sincere, I will let you do it this time! But this album is the result of Honghui's hard work, you have to get his consent. If he doesn't agree, I, as his father, cannot ignore the wishes of my own son."
Yinzhen returned empty-handed, half reluctantly and half proudly. The next afternoon, he went to the prince's residence and told Honghui about the matter.
"Uncle Jiu, are you kidding me?" Honghui couldn't believe it.
Yin'er's face and body were covered with fine beads of sweat, but he didn't care. He took the iced mung bean soup and drank it all. He wiped the back of his mouth and said, "Hey! You kid, when did Uncle Jiu play a joke on you? I'm not idle, so I came to the prince's residence in the scorching sun and heat to tease you! That's basically what happened. Tell me what you think?"
Honghui suddenly felt a little pressure. Even his father had agreed to this matter. Could he have any other objections? If he refused this matter without giving face to Uncle Jiu, wouldn't Qing be waiting for Uncle Jiu to drift away from him?
"Uncle Jiu is the boss. It doesn't matter if I fail. Don't blame me. I just blame my poor painting skills. So Uncle Jiu, please don't say that you are responsible if the paintings can't be sold. Wouldn't that alienate me? Also, if there is anything wrong that needs to be improved, please come to me!"
Yinzhen patted his back in satisfaction and laughed, "You are so straightforward. You agreed as soon as Uncle Jiu mentioned it. Unlike your father, I tried my best but he still didn't agree on the spot. Don't even mention how shy he was!"
"..." Honghui staggered and almost lost his balance. It could be seen at this moment that Uncle Jiu was indeed a man of both civil and military talents, and his strength was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Since he had obtained his consent to print the album, Yinzhen could no longer sit still, "Okay, go practice your calligraphy, and Uncle Jiu will go ask your father for the original painting!"
