Chapter 20 The Master's Favorite
"That's right," Shanzha scratched his head, "This is where I get water to make tea for the Fourth Master, and this is where I pick the plum blossoms."
Then, Shanzha patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister. I learned the skill of making plum blossom tea from the old maid in the palace.
That nanny used to serve His Majesty, and I heard that His Majesty also likes this plum blossom tea. Our Prince should be no exception, he drank several pots yesterday."
Wenjiu blinked, looked back at the heartless Hawthorn, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Well done."
"Just don't come here to get snow again."
Hawthorn was puzzled: "Why?"
Wen Jiu: "This place has bad feng shui."
She also began to feel uneasy.
By the way, judging from the Fourth Master’s appearance yesterday, he should not have been tricked, right?
Otherwise, could he endure it all night without extending his life?
Should be... okay?
Hawthorn only took a little snow...
While walking, Wen Jiu muttered: I hope the Fourth Master is in good health and knows nothing!
"A-choo!"
The Fourth Master rubbed his nose.
Su Peisheng: "Master, are you feeling unwell? Would you like the palace doctor to see you?"
The Fourth Master waved his hand: "What did you just say?"
Su Peisheng said carefully, "Last night, Princess Song sent someone to invite you. I saw that you had gone to bed, so I sent them away."
Glancing at the Fourth Master and seeing that he didn't look angry, Su Peisheng continued, "People at Princess Song's place said that Wangcai suddenly appeared while Princess was having dinner and smashed two plates."
The Fourth Master frowned slightly: "Are you hurt?"
Su Peisheng immediately replied: "No, it's just that Song Gege was a little frightened..."
The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Peisheng: "Stupid servant."
Then he ordered outside: "Come here, bring Wangcai here."
Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and wanted to slap himself twice!
He immediately replied, "Master, don't worry, Wangcai is not injured. It's just that he ran out to play all day yesterday, so I'm afraid he didn't have any food."
Soon, Wangcai was brought in. When he saw the Fourth Master, he started to play around him.
The Fourth Master personally checked Wangcai's entire body, and only after confirming that he was not injured did he touch Wangcai's head and said, "What do you want to eat? Don't go to any dangerous places in the future."
After thinking for a moment, the Fourth Master ordered, "Make a table full of meat dishes, and cook them according to what Wangcai usually eats. Don't make the roast duck too salty, Wangcai likes it with honey."
The servant immediately responded.
But the meal was served, but Wangcai didn't eat it.
The fourth master frowned deeply and picked up the roast duck leg that Wangcai liked: "Here, it's what you usually like."
Wangcai turned over and licked it twice out of respect, then kept wagging his tail but didn't eat anything.
"What happened? Aren't you hungry? Or are you sick? Did Song beat you?" The Fourth Master said with a grim expression.
Wangcai barked twice and continued to wag his tail.
Little Li, who usually looks after Wangcai, saw this and replied carefully, "Master, Wangcai is in good spirits and doesn't seem to be sick.
When it came back this morning, its belly was full. I guess it had eaten somewhere last night."
The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Wangcai, did you eat someone else's food?"
Wangcai barked twice and continued to wag his tail.
Su Peisheng: "Master, maybe he ate at Song Gege's place?"
The Fourth Master shook his head without comment.
They are very afraid of Wangcai, and how can they feed him when I am not around?
Su Peisheng felt that he might really have become stupid.
I actually forgot that Wangcai is the apple of my master's eye.
Compared with Wangcai, Song Gege is not even one level inferior.
The master's temperament hasn't changed at all.
For example, Queen Tong, because her master raised her since childhood, he fought for her.
For example, Wangcai, because the owner has been through hardships together, the owner treats it as if it were the apple of his eye.
The master never cares about the status of those who can catch his eye, but only worries that the reward is not enough.
Seeing that it was still early, the Fourth Master took the ball and played with Wangcai, relaxing for a while.
On the other side, Wenjiu also arrived at the main courtyard.
According to the rules, to warm the wine, one should first go to the backyard to pay respects to the wife, and then the wife will go to the front yard with the female relatives.
There was some delay in the morning, so even if he went to warm the wine quickly, by the time he arrived at Jinghao Hall where Fu Jin lived, everyone inside was already there.
"This servant greets the Lady, and wishes good luck to the Lady."
He warmed the wine and bowed formally.
Jinghao Hall is located in the main palace of the backyard. The hall is the largest of all the houses. At this time, the house is full of people, but not even a breathing sound can be heard. The atmosphere is very tense.
Obviously, they were trying to intimidate Wenjiu together.
However, the results were minimal.
Wenjiu is very familiar with the women in the Fourth Master's backyard.
In my memory, I know their respective endings.
For example, now, the three veteran characters in palace fighting novels are all here.
The wife sitting above with great grace was actually the most vicious. She secretly poisoned the concubines and lost her own child, so she made all the women in the harem accompany her.
This arrogant concubine Li was badly betrayed by the wife. Not only did several of her children die young, but she herself was also given infertility drugs and had no children. She was also forgotten by the emperor and had a miserable old age.
Of course, she was not a good person either. She was the most jealous person in the Fourth Master's harem, and all the concubines who entered the mansion later suffered at her hands.
He even scratched the face of the most beautiful woman, Yin, and tortured her to death.
The weak Song sitting there was even more amazing.
The death of Fu Jin's eldest son Honghui was caused by her.
However, after this woman killed Honghui, she put the blame on Li.
Later, Fu Jin and Li fought a life-and-death battle, and she was the one who reaped the benefits.
Of course, Wenjiu knows much more.
For example, the concubine had body odor, so she had to put a lot of flower petals in her bath and apply ointment under her armpits to cover it up.
For example, Li was very beautiful, but her breasts would never grow bigger, so she spent all day looking for folk remedies.
For example, Song killed her elder sister and took her place in the mansion.
Before Nian entered the palace, she had a lover...
When these things were in his mind, Wen Jiu found it really hard to look at these women.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're such a pitiful person. You must have served Lord Beile before, but you're wearing old clothes. No one cares about you. How about this, my wife will give you two pieces to wear?"
Li gently held the handkerchief, but her eyes looked at Fu Jin vaguely.
Ulanara frowned slightly: "Sister, what are you talking about? Everything in our house is done according to the rules.
Warm the wine and serve the bed. Without the master's instructions, you cannot go beyond the rules in your dress and appearance.
Logically speaking, as someone who served the Fourth Master, she should have the initiative to raise his status, but she was unwilling to do so.
He was just a small servant, yet he dared to make trouble for her, the wife. It was simply outrageous.
This bitch Li is always good at being a good person!
"Fujin..."
Nanny Sun beside her called out softly and signaled with her eyes for Fu Jin to wake the person up.
Alas, Fu Jin is young and energetic after all.
He is about to enter the palace. Although Wenjiu is a servant, the relationship between them is complicated.
Her father now holds a high position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, her aunt is an elder who serves Empress Defei, and her uncle works in the imperial kitchen, all of which are important positions.
And the most important thing is that Concubine De is very fond of Wenjiu and has always regarded him as her confidant.
On the other hand, his wife's master originally had military power and was not inferior to others, but the master is no longer with us.
In the current Ulanara family, only the third master has entered the officialdom and holds the position of a second-class guard.
At this time, giving Wenjiu a little favor would be a good thing with no harm.
Why offend others because of clothes?
How could Ulanara not know what Nanny Sun knew?
She was just upset.
She just doesn't want to get what she wants, so who can say anything?
"What Fu Jin taught me is that a servant should wear servant clothes. This is the rule." Wen Jiu then said very seriously, "When I was serving under the prince, he once said that Fu Jin came from a noble family and that the rules were very good. I didn't spend much time with Fu Jin before, but now it seems that this is really the case."
Ulanara was originally waiting to find fault with Wenjiu, but she never expected to hear such words.
"Fourth Master, do you really mean that?"
Wenjiu nodded firmly: "Of course." Wenjiu knew what Ulanara liked to hear.
Ulanara suddenly smiled and glanced at Li beside her with a meaningful look in her eyes: "Oh, no wonder you have served the Fourth Master for so many years, your memory is really good.
You are also smart and know who is in charge of this backyard.
Li, don't you think so? "
