Chapter 214 Come on, bottoms up! There are three more to go.
Given Yinzhuo's status, he didn't need to worry about the wedding banquet outside. He only needed to bring a glass of water to symbolically toast everyone, and that would be enough. After all, none of those people would dare to force Yinzhuo to drink.
"Oh, our groom has finally decided to come out of the bridal chamber. I was so worried, I thought you were going straight to the wedding night!"
Yin Zuo accepted Yin Zhi's teasing without question. He walked over to his third brother, put his arm around his shoulder, bent down to take the wine pot from the table and filled the cup in front of Yin Zhi, then took the water cup from De Xi.
"Look at what Third Brother is saying. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would abandon my family for a woman? I've already brought my wife back. Do you think she can just fly away? Sorry, I went for a walk in front and took up some time. I've kept you all waiting. Come, let me offer you all a toast with water instead of wine."
Although Yinti and the others were well aware that Yinzuo had a poor alcohol tolerance, none of them expected that he would not even pretend today, and would reveal his hand right away, using water instead of wine. How could he come up with such a thing?
"Hey Xiao Liu, today is your wedding day. We're not going to drink ourselves into oblivion, but we can't just use water instead of wine. No way, you have to have a drink with your brother today."
"Have a drink?" Yinzhuo glanced at Yinzhi, who was holding a wine pot and insisting on filling his cup, then looked at Yinti, Yinreng, and Yinzhen beside him.
"Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, do you think I should drink this wine today? I have to tell you first, I did drink the nuptial wine in the bridal chamber earlier."
Yinti, Yinreng, and Yinzhen exchanged glances, their minds filled with the scene of Yinzuo getting drunk at Yinqi's wedding. Seeing that Yinzuo's hand was about to take the cup from Yinzhi's hand, Yinreng quickly got up and snatched the cup from Yinzhi's hand.
"Third brother, you've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed, haven't you? Don't you know what kind of person this guy is when he's drunk? Do you want to hear him recite the Oath of the Peach Garden, or do you want to hear him sing a little song? Sixth brother, we won't listen to your third brother. Second brother thinks water is fine instead of wine. Your third brother won't drink with you, but second brother will drink with you."
Yinreng was truly terrified by the two incidents Yinzuo had caused before, and he dared not let him touch alcohol again. Today was the boy's wedding day, and if he got drunk and caused trouble, the loss of face would be a minor matter. If their father found out that they had gotten Yinzuo drunk, how could they possibly be in a good situation?
Upon hearing this, Yinzhu shrugged at Yinzhi, picked up the water cup that Dexi had handed him earlier, first offered a cup of water to Yinreng, and then filled the cup and offered a toast to Yinzhi from afar.
"Third brother, you see, it's not that your younger brother doesn't want to drink with you, but your second brother insists on not letting you. Come on, let me offer you a cup of water instead of wine."
Yinzhuo's smug, self-satisfied demeanor infuriated his third brother, Yinzhi. If it weren't for the fact that today was such a special day for this guy, Yinzhi would have gotten up and slapped him twice.
"Alright, since Second Brother has said so, Third Brother isn't one to be unreasonable. Our Sixth Brother's alcohol tolerance isn't very high. If drinking with Third Brother delays your wedding night, then Third Brother will be in big trouble. Come on, let's have a toast."
As the saying goes, "deep feelings mean drinking it all in one gulp." Although Yinti and the others did not force Yinzuo to drink, they did not intend to let him off so easily. If they could not force him to drink, they would force him to drink water. Really, what difference does it make what you drink?
"Hehe, Sixth Brother, not to criticize you, but we always drink our wine in one gulp. You left a sip of water in your drink. What, are you saving it to raise fish? Come on, pick up your glass and drink this one down."
Come on, drink this cup, there are three more to go. Yinzhuo drank one cup after another until he felt nauseous. Finally, when Yinqi brought over another cup, Yinzhuo could no longer take it.
"Brothers, please have mercy on me and spare my life today. Fifth Brother, I really don't want to be the first groom to die from water on his wedding day. Eldest Brother, Second Brother, I feel like my stomach is about to explode. Come, come, listen to me, can you hear the splashing water when I shake?"
Yinzhuo's words were no exaggeration. He had been busy since morning, and apart from the few snacks he ate in the afternoon, his stomach was full of water. When he got up and swayed slightly, you could faintly hear the gurgling sound of water coming from his stomach.
"Hahahaha, alright, Fifth Brother will let you off this time. Alright, stop standing here, come and sit over here. It's not easy for us brothers to get together like this. It'll be good to chat even if we don't drink."
Yinzhuo wanted to sit down, but he was so full of water that it was almost up to his neck, so he could only follow Yinqi to stand next to him.
"Thank you for your kindness, Fifth Brother, but I won't sit down. My stomach is so full of water that I feel uncomfortable. I'd better stand for a while. I'm afraid I'll throw up if I sit down."
They say a beating for a brat isn't for nothing. No sooner had Yinzhuo finished speaking than the Fourteenth Prince darted in front of him, first staring at his Sixth Brother for a few moments, then, taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, reached out and pressed on Yinzhuo's bloated stomach. Well, now things got interesting. Yinzhuo had only felt a little nauseous and bloated before, but this press from the Fourteenth Prince made him want to vomit.
"Fourteenth, I'm not trying to be mean, but why did you have to be so clumsy? Why did you have to press on your sixth brother's stomach? Now look at how much he's throwing up..."
Yinti glanced at Yinzuo, who was squatting by the door vomiting uncontrollably, then turned around and slapped the back of his head. The fourteenth prince was clearly surprised by the force of Yinti's light press. Stunned, he staggered from the slap and almost fell to the ground.
"Big brother's right, Fourteenth Brother, you really messed up. Look how much trouble you've caused Sixth Brother. Just you wait, see how he deals with you after he throws up. And that's not even the worst part. After Sixth Brother, what about our biased father? If this happens..."
Fourteenth Prince regretted his actions so much that he wanted to chop off his own impulsive paws. Sigh, Sixth Brother was right; curiosity not only killed the cat, but it would kill him sooner or later. Look, this just proves the saying true. If Father finds out, he'll be punished. Copying books? Confinement. A beating on the palms? Surely not a cane? Thinking of the possible punishments, Fourteenth Prince immediately ran towards Yinzhuo at the door.
"Sixth Brother, I was wrong just now. Please don't hold a grudge against me. I still haven't finished copying the Heart Sutra a hundred times as punishment from Father for my mistake a while ago. If I'm punished again, my hands will probably be ruined from copying..."
