Chapter 162 Have I treated you unfairly?
The Third Master stared, unable to think of any retort for a long time. He ate another mouthful of noodles angrily and suddenly slammed the table: "No! You are all together, drinking and eating, like brothers. It would be too desolate for me to return to Beijing alone."
Jiu Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Third Brother, there is indeed no shortage of good wine and good meat, but there are still a lot of disaster victims outside, and Jinyang is a mess that we can't ignore. Staying here won't necessarily make things easy."
The Third Master blinked his eyes and curled his lips. "Whatever, Fourth Master, I'll stay one more day tomorrow. It won't cost me a day to return to Beijing. You should at least make up for it by giving me a pot."
Seeing the Third Master's expectant look, the Fourth Master asked in confusion, "Third Brother, if I remember correctly, we just had hotpot yesterday. Aren't you afraid of getting irritated if you eat it all day?"
The Third Master said, "No matter when I ate it, I still want to eat it. Besides, it wasn't a fish hotpot that I ate yesterday. Before I return to Beijing, I must make sure I have eaten enough."
The Fourth Master was silent for a moment, then said, "I wanted to make a fish pot yesterday, but the guards who went out fishing returned empty-handed, so we didn't get to eat it. If Third Brother can bring back some fish, I'll have the kitchen prepare wine and food for you."
After hearing this, the Third Master clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's settled!"
It was supposed to be dinner for the Fourth Master and Wenjiu, but for some reason it turned into a big pot meal.
After the gentlemen had eaten and drunk their fill, they put down their chopsticks and went back to their rooms to rest.
The Fourth Master also stood up, holding the warm wine in his hand: "Let's wash up, it's getting late."
Wenjiu glanced at the wine glass that the Fourth Master put down. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have not eaten a single bite of food from beginning to end, and only drank some sake.
Wenjiu frowned slightly, and while the Fourth Master was washing up, he called for a large spoon: "Help me boil this pot of water, I'll need it when I get out of the shower. And this half watermelon, cut a plate into it and keep it ready, and you and Su Peisheng and the others can share the rest. Ask the kitchen to make some more rice porridge, remember not to add any seasonings, and definitely no oil."
Dashao was stunned for three seconds, then nodded immediately: "I understand, miss. Thank you, miss. I have a melon to eat too!"
Wen Jiuben was still worried about how to explain it to her, but now it seems that Dashao's way of thinking is a little different from others, but she is surprisingly suitable to serve her.
After giving the instructions, Wenjiu went to wash up without any worries. When she came back fully refreshed, she saw the Fourth Master waving at her from afar.
"come over."
Wenjiu walked over, and before he could say a word, he was grabbed by the Fourth Master and fell into his warm arms the next second.
The Fourth Master still held the book steadily in his hand. He took the warm wine into his arms, resting his chin on his forehead, his eyes lightly on the book.
"Master?" Wen Jiu noticed that the Fourth Master seemed to be in a bad mood.
He was still holding the files from Jinyang City's past, showing grain prices and tax revenues over the years. The characters were densely packed, small and cramped, and in traditional Chinese characters. Just looking at them while drinking warm wine gave him a headache. He wondered how the Fourth Master managed to hold them and read them all day.
"Yes, let me hug you." The Fourth Master said in a low voice and took a deep breath. For some reason, smelling the faint fragrance on her body, the Fourth Master's somewhat anxious heart gradually calmed down.
After a while, the Fourth Master asked, "What are you wearing? This fragrance suits you very well."
The Fourth Master hadn't previously cared much for perfume, but he knew that all women used it. The women around him, regardless of age or social status, all wore some. Most were strong, even a little pungent. Usually, when he encountered such situations, the Fourth Master would find an excuse to avoid them. However, there were a few scents that made the Fourth Master feel comfortable.
Wenjiu found a comfortable position in his arms and wiped her hair with the handkerchief in her hand.
He just said, "Why are you asking about the things my daughter uses at home? After all, they were all bought by me last time."
If you rub it with warm wine, it is naturally the Ice Skin and Jade Bone Cream.
The power of Ice Machine Jade Bone Cream is not only to maintain the skin, but also to emit a unique fragrance according to each person's different physique.
It’s a pity that I was only given a small box the size of a palm. I applied the warm wine from head to toe the first two times, and now half of it is used up.
Recently, I discovered a new wonderful use for it. I scooped out a small amount of the Ice Skin Jade Bone Cream and mixed it with other skin care oils. The effect was also very good.
Warm up your wine, add skincare oil, and ice-soft jade bone cream to make a body lotion. Save the rest for your face. Keep doing this until you reach 100 points in your Intermediate Beauty Level, and you'll be able to get another Beauty Pack.
After hearing what Wen Jiu said, the Fourth Master simply nodded and said, "This fragrance is good. If you like it, keep using it. I'll have someone prepare some for you when you return to the capital."
Wen Jiu did not refuse and said with a smile: "Thank you in advance, sir."
Suddenly, I recalled the fragmented memory of the Fourth Master returning to Beijing in such a miserable state that I was lost in thought. The Third Master would be returning to Beijing in two days. Could something have happened on the way back, and the blame would be put on the Fourth Master?
After hesitating for two seconds, Wen Jiu suddenly leaned on the Fourth Master's shoulder and said softly, "Master, is it safe on the road when we go back?"
The Fourth Master was taken aback when he heard this: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Wen Jiu said, "I'm a little scared. I remember I encountered a wolf on the way here. I always feel a little uneasy."
The Fourth Master frowned slightly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Seeing that Wenjiu was having difficulty wiping the back of her hair, he subconsciously took the handkerchief from Wenjiu's hand and helped her wipe her hair, then said, "You reminded me."
"Hmm?" Wenjiu looked at him?
The Fourth Master only said, "Third Brother will be leaving in the next two days. You should bring more guards with you. The situation is not peaceful right now. We can't let our guard down."
Wen Jiu laughed when he heard this: "I don't understand what you are talking about. I am just a little worried."
The Fourth Master looked at her and said, "Why? Do you want to go back home?"
Wenjiu shook his head like a wave drum and answered crisply and loudly: "No."
"Hmm?" The Fourth Master was quite puzzled: "Don't want to go back?"
How could the conditions outside be comparable to those in the mansion? Even when she was a maidservant in front of him, she had never suffered such hardships, right?
"It's so comfortable to live a simple life with me outside, but when I return home, I'm bound by a bunch of rules. It's not easy to have a meal. If possible, I really don't want to go back." Even Wen Jiu had the idea of luring the Fourth Master away.
"How dare you," the Fourth Master said with a stern face, "Why are you so unwelcome in this house? Have I treated you unfairly?"
Seeing the Fourth Master's sudden change of expression, Wen Jiu was not panicked at all. Although his face was cold, there was no cloud on his head, which meant that the Fourth Master did not seem to be very angry at the moment.
Wenjiu didn't coax him, but suddenly stood up from his arms, frowned slightly, and looked at him with a stern face.
