Chapter 524 You're being so generous, does the real owner know?
Yinzhuo wasn't some kind of sonar detector, so of course he didn't know where the fish were in the lake. But this was obviously not a difficult task for him. The fish were in the lake, and there were so many of them. Surely they could catch a single one?
"What's the rush, kid? You're fourteen or fifteen years old already, how come you're still so impetuous and lack any composure? I don't know who you took after..."
Look at what you're saying! Don't you know who I took after? I'm only fourteen or fifteen, still in that rebellious phase you're talking about. It's normal to lack maturity. You're almost forty, and I haven't seen you become much more mature than me...
Although Hongxu wasn't particularly afraid of his father, he had been disciplined by Yinzhuo since childhood. So even though he strongly disagreed with Yinzhuo's previous words, he only dared to mutter them to himself.
Yinzhu didn't care what Hongxu thought. He reached out and pushed the little brat blocking his way aside, then clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention.
"I suppose Hongxu's question is one that you're all concerned about. But I'm planning to do something new with our fishing operation today. We won't be using boats to pull nets or scoop nets. See that lake over there? I'll have someone row over there in a bit and scatter some fish food to attract the fish. As for how to catch the fish? That's simple. You can just dive right in and see how you do it."
Good heavens, catching fish with bare hands! Well, it looks like today is going to be another tough battle. Hongyu, Hongxi, Hongqing, and Honghui have played with Yinzuo a lot since they were little, so they have naturally learned some of Yinzuo's swimming skills, which he is so proud of.
Needless to say, Hongxu and Hongshi, those two boys, are inseparable, having truly inherited Yinzhuo's teachings.
Even favored children like Yinzhuo, who grew up in the royal family, were still surrounded by a bunch of rules from a young age. How could they possibly have such an opportunity to unleash their true nature without restraint? Not to mention half-grown children like Hongxu and Hongshi, even Hongxi and Hongyu couldn't help but show a bit of excitement on their faces.
Yinzhuo had just arranged for people to make a nest in the lake when Hongxu, Hongxi, and the other boys couldn't wait to rush to the lakeside pavilion to change their clothes. Before the people Yinzhuo had arranged returned, these rascals had already jumped into the lake like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.
“Hey, Hongtun, Hongming, what are you two doing following them? Get over here right now! You two little radish heads, squeezing into that bunch of people is like offering yourself up as food! With them, you won’t even see a fish, let alone catch any. But don’t worry, your Uncle has a good idea. See that small boat over there? That’s our battlefield…”
Hongtun and Hongming are only seven or eight years old now. Although they can swim, it seems unlikely that they would want to go splashing around in the lake with a group of teenagers and adults in their twenties.
Although Yinzhuo also wanted to change his clothes and jump into the lake to play, with Liang Jiugong and his men watching him intently from the side, he dared not act rashly. He was afraid that as soon as he had the thought, Liang Jiugong would take out the gold medal with the inscription "Seeing the face of the person" from his pocket.
Yinzhuo was never short of money, so even when it came to entertainment, he was willing to spend lavishly. Those basins of fish bait and fish food were poured in, and all the fish in the lake came running without even smelling them.
Yinzhuo was no longer concerned about whether he could go into the water, after all, he had two unlucky little nephews with him on his left and right. Yinzhuo held one of his nephews in each hand, pulled Hongtun and Hongming onto the small boat that had been prepared in advance, and then directed the boat to be rowed to the outer edge of Hongxi's battlefield.
As the saying goes, if someone is eating meat, then those around them must also get a sip of soup. Yinzhuo and the others certainly got to drink some soup today. His fish food really wasn't wasted. Look, even from this distance, he can catch fish one by one.
Unlike Yinzhuo and Hongtun, who were peacefully fishing with nets in hand and rowing small boats, the battle on Hongxi and Honghui's side was much more intense and exciting.
The fish food did attract the fish, but that couldn't stop the seven or eight of them from splashing around in the water. The fish would run away as soon as they saw them, so it would be a miracle if they caught any fish.
After fishing for a while with the two children, Hongtun and Hongming, Yinzhuo lost interest in this unchallenging activity. He glanced around and saw Liang Jiugong following their boat at a distance in a small boat. He could only sigh helplessly and abandon his desire to join in.
However, not being able to get involved in the lake doesn't mean Hongxu and Hongxi were without Yinzhuo's presence in their fish-catching competition. Just look at him, he's got an idea in the blink of an eye.
"Hey kids, come here right now! I've been watching you all splashing around in the water, but you haven't caught a single fish. So, to make the upcoming competition more entertaining... no, more challenging, your sixth uncle has decided to set a prize for this competition."
Yinzhuo felt that the competition needed some prize money for the participants to feel motivated. What Yinzhuo wanted to see was people chasing and competing with the fish in the lake, using their wits and courage, rather than a group of people wandering around like a flock of ducks.
Although Yinzhu changed his mind quickly, Hongxi and Hongyu weren't deaf; their ears were very sharp. However, they clearly knew what kind of person their sixth uncle was. They didn't mind entertaining their relative with colorful costumes. Of course, how entertaining the show would be depended on what prizes their sixth uncle offered.
As I said before, our Prince Zhao is very generous. Since it's a prize, he certainly won't just throw out something random to appease him. Seeing that Hongxu and Hongxi were all looking at him expectantly, Yinzhuo didn't keep them in suspense any longer.
"As you probably know, your Khanmafa keeps a flock of fine horses at the Imperial Horse Ranch in the western suburbs. So, if you all work a little harder, after the competition, the two who catch the most fish will be granted permission to choose a horse they like to take home from there after returning to the capital..."
If anyone else had said that, Hongxi and Hongyu wouldn't have believed a word he said. What, do they think the Imperial Horse Ranch is theirs? You can just pick and choose as you please, are you even aware of how generous the real owner of the ranch is?
