Chapter 279 Are my hands white and tender?
Wenjiu was pulled by Shanzha, and only then did he realize that Shanzha's hands were icy cold. Upon closer inspection, he found that she had frostbite on her hands.
"How did you get through these days?"
Carefully stroking the pair of hands that didn't look like those of a girl, my throat felt choked by the wine.
Shanzha smiled with red eyes and said, "Don't worry, young lady. Fortunately, you told Sun Dazhi in the kitchen before you left. With him taking care of her, Shanzha won't suffer any injustice." Sun Dazhi was a small figure with little influence, but he had enough to eat. He just had to do more work. Shanzha was more worried about the other two.
Wenjiu took a deep breath, turned around and walked out.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into the Fourth Master who had just walked in.
The Fourth Master's face flushed red as he tried to restrain himself, struggling with his waist to drop the scorching book in his arms. Unexpectedly, the moment he entered the room, the little girl threw herself into his arms.
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, the veins on his forehead twitched twice, and when he looked down, he saw Wenjiu's mouth pouting, as if she was about to cry.
"What's going on?" The Fourth Master was shocked.
I'm really worried now. Jiu'er is not only imagining that she is pregnant, but her mood is also so unstable?
It was fine when I just went out.
Speaking of which, the little girl rarely cries. I have been away from home for such a long time, and no matter how hard or tiring it is, I have never seen her cry.
The Fourth Master was also a little panicked for a moment. He had never wiped anyone's tears before. He was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to start.
Wen Jiu suddenly got up from his arms, stretched out his hand and asked without thinking: "Master, do you think my hands are white and tender?"
The Fourth Master looked at her hands with a puzzled look on his face, but he couldn't say anything against his will, so he nodded and said, "Of course they are white and tender." To be honest, these were the most beautiful hands he had ever seen, even more delicate than tofu.
Wen Jiu sighed: "It's a pity that it won't be so white in the future."
The fourth master looked at her hand with a question mark on his forehead. Thinking that she was still sick, he wanted to go along with her and nodded: "Well, people are the same. They get darker as they get older."
Seeing that Wen Jiu's eyes were not right, the Fourth Master thought for a moment and added, "However, even if you are black, you should be whiter than others."
Shouldn't this make the little girl happy? He had never said such words to anyone else before.
Wen was so drunk that he almost fell over. Is this really a question of black and white?
At that moment, he took a deep breath and said, "Master, aren't you curious why my hands won't be white anymore?"
Fourth Master: “…Hmm?”
Wen Jiu let out a long breath and said, "Jiu'er just wants to tell you, Master, that from now on, I'll be the only one doing all the work in the house, so naturally my hands will become extremely rough. Master will never be able to touch such white and tender little hands again."
As she said this, she placed her fair and delicate hand in front of the Fourth Master and waved it.
When the Fourth Master heard this, a strange look appeared on his stern face: "Why do you want to work? Are they just decorations?" As he said that, he pointed at the people around him.
Dashao at the back had no expression on his face after hearing this.
Shanzha stared blankly at the Fourth Master, still a little dazed. She hadn't come back to her senses yet. She had been at the back of the yard and hadn't seen the Fourth Master. She had never expected that the girl had just returned, and the Fourth Master hadn't gone to Fu Jin's place, but had followed her to their yard!
Does this mean that the girl is favored? For a moment, he looked towards Wenjiu with great anticipation. Maybe the girl could really get them back with just a few words!
Liusu focused all her attention on Wenjiu. She thought this woman was truly remarkable. She was clearly in the presence of her master, so how could she laugh, scold, and swear so freely? Was she truly not afraid of angering him?
However, looking at Wenjiu's face, she finally swallowed her worries.
With a look like this, even someone with a bad temper wouldn't have the heart to get angry with her, right?
Wenjiu was also a little anxious. She couldn't let go of her worries because she hadn't seen Nanny Song and Xiaodouzi.
She also felt that her Fourth Master was really unconventional, so she got straight to the point: "Jiu'er has been away with me for only a few days, and Xiaodouzi has been taken away by Song Gege. Nanny Song has been transferred to the Gongfang to do chores. Master, take a look, does this courtyard still look like the original Qingliang Pavilion?"
The Fourth Master had been so focused on warming his wine that he hadn't paid much attention to the Qingliang Pavilion. Now, looking at it, he really despised it. The window paper was already torn. He frowned and said, "Su Peisheng, get some smart people over here right now and have them repair this room as soon as possible."
Su Peisheng responded and immediately turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute," Wenjiu stopped the man and turned to look at the Fourth Master: "Master, Jiu'er still wants the original person."
The Fourth Master nodded nonchalantly, "Then call it back. However, you still don't have enough people here. I'll add a few more for you."
Wen Jiu laughed when he heard this: "Master, you are so kind."
Su Peisheng accepted the task and immediately said with a smile: "Then I will pick a few smart ones for you, young lady?"
Wen Jiu smiled and responded, then said, "Please ask the eunuch to go to Song Gege's place and bring Xiaodouzi back. The child is smart and I miss him very much after not seeing him for a long time."
Su Peisheng glanced at the Fourth Master, and seeing that he didn't seem to care, he immediately responded, "Hey, I'll go and bring someone back right away."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, eunuch, and also Nanny Song."
Su Peisheng immediately agreed and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute," the Fourth Master suddenly stopped Su Peisheng, "This yard hasn't been cleaned for a long time. Call some more people to clean it up."
After thinking for a while, the Fourth Master suddenly frowned and said, "Come on, you shouldn't live in this shabby yard anymore. Su Peisheng, is there any suitable yard in your house?"
Su Peisheng thought about it carefully and said, "My Lord, there is a Wangxian Tower on the west side of Jinghao Hall. It's in a good location and is close to the Qingfeng Courtyard of the master."
The Fourth Master shook his head after hearing this: "That location is not good, is there any other place?"
It is too close to the concubine's territory, and the concubine can see whatever is going on in the yard from Jinghao Hall.
"Also, next to Ruyi Pavilion is Jixiangju. The grounds there are quite spacious, with a pond inside, though the location is a bit out of the way."
The Fourth Master still shook his head: "That place is not good either."
It's so close to Li's Ruyi Pavilion, how can it be quiet?
The Fourth Master frowned and said, "Is there no other good place?"
Su Peisheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Master, most of the good courtyards are built in the east backyard." What he meant was that they were not far from Jinghao Hall and Ruyi Pavilion.
The wife and the concubine lived in the two best-located courtyards. The others were either too far away or too small, not as good as the Qingliang Pavilion.
The Fourth Master frowned and said, "Then you should stay in Qingliang Pavilion. I won't let you down. I'll have someone clean up Qingliang Pavilion and expand it."
Wen Jiu felt relieved after hearing what the Fourth Master said. She actually didn't want to move.
Although Qingliang Pavilion is a bit far away, it is really quiet. The pavilion is built behind the back garden and is separated from the backyard by a gate.
Besides, she was in the stage of taking care of the baby during her pregnancy, and Wenjiu didn't want to see those annoying people all day long.
Living alone in her own yard is so quiet, she wouldn't trade it for any other yard.
"Master, there's no rush. How about letting your father-in-law do it first?" Wen Jiu said with a smile.
The Fourth Master waved his hand after hearing this and said, "Go ahead."
Then, he cleared his throat and said, "You guys go out too."
Soon, there were only two people left in the room. Before Wenjiu could come to his senses, he suddenly realized that the Fourth Master was in his arms.
"Jiu'er..." The booklet in his arms grew hot again. The Fourth Master thought, the court doctor told him to try harder, so he would just... do it reluctantly. It was just to treat the little girl.
