Chapter 295 The Bustling Fourth Master's Mansion
Soon, he counted on his fingers: "I just checked, there are still eight instant noodles, four packets of beef jerky, and three packets of spicy chips in here."
De Fei didn't understand what he was talking about, but she could tell that Fourteen liked it, so she said, "Take it all and eat it."
Fourteen frowned slightly, then shook his head: "No, this is given to mother by Fourth Brother. How can a son take it?"
Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows when he heard Fourteen's words. Oh, he can actually speak a word?
Fourteenth's eyes rolled around, and he ran to Emperor Kangxi with a smile, squatted down and helped Kangxi knock his thigh: "My Royal Highness..."
Emperor Kangxi calmly took a sip of the teacup and said, "Hmm?"
Fourteenth said with a smile: "Father, I want to go to Fourth Brother's house. I haven't seen Fourth Brother for a long time and I miss him so much."
When Emperor Kangxi heard this, he knew what he was planning. He frowned and said, "But you haven't done your homework yet."
Fourteenth immediately patted his chest and promised: "Father, didn't you say before that you would let your son learn horse riding and archery with Fourth Brother? I will take my son's homework to Fourth Brother's house to do it. What do you think?"
Emperor Kangxi frowned and said, "How can that be? Your fourth brother has been exhausted these past few days. I have allowed him to rest."
Fourteenth Prince's smile remained undimmed. "Father Your Majesty, I will definitely not disturb Fourth Brother. Besides, I haven't seen Fourth Brother for a long time. I miss him a little and want to visit him at his house. I promise not to cause any more trouble..."
After hearing Fourteenth's words, Concubine De's expression became even more strange.
Fourteen...didn't he hate being with Fourth Brother? What's wrong with him? Why is he insisting on going to Fourth Brother's house?
What exactly is wrong?
Could it be because of the food just now? Concubine De's face looked a little strange for a moment.
Emperor Kangxi still frowned and did not respond.
Fourteenth's eyes rolled again, and he suddenly said, "I'll talk to Fourth Brother. I think if Fourth Brother knew that the Emperor also liked his food, he would definitely be happy." If Fourth Brother only knew that the Emperor liked it, he would definitely bring some back for him. He just saw that the Emperor was eating more happily than he was, so he didn't think he would refuse.
Emperor Kangxi glanced at his son and thought that he was quite sensible.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice and said, "Old Four has worked hard all this time. I do want to reward him with something. So, you can take the reward with you."
When Fourteen heard this, he was immediately delighted: "Thank you, Emperor! Thank you, Emperor."
Concubine De was even more confused. Little Fourteen had always been jealous of his fourth brother. If his fourth brother was rewarded but he was not, he would probably tear the house down.
The Emperor just said he would reward the Fourth Brother, and the Fourteenth Brother actually thanked him on the Fourth Brother’s behalf?
Did the sun rise from the west today?
Although Concubine De was willing to see her two sons have a good relationship, the change was too sudden and she was a little dazed.
The Fourth Prince's Mansion.
The Fourth Master and Wen Jiu had just laid down when they suddenly heard Su Beisheng's reply from outside the door: "Master, the Third Master is here and is waiting for you in the front yard."
The hand that was covering the wine-warming waist suddenly stopped: "The Emperor said that the Lord should rest, what is the Third Brother doing here at this time?"
Su Peisheng could feel the Fourth Master's chilling aura through the door and said, "Master, the Third Master also brought some fine wine. He said he missed you after not seeing you for a long time, so he came to drink with you..."
Fourth Master: "...I think he wants the fish hot pot."
The Fourth Master rolled his eyes, but he was his brother after all, so he slowly stood up and put on his clothes.
Before the servants had finished helping the Fourth Master put on his clothes, another servant came to report: "Master, the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master are here."
The Fourth Master had a sour face: "..." I knew that the two of them were indispensable!
The Fourth Master had put on his clothes and was yet to go out when a young eunuch ran in and knelt on the ground.
The Fourth Master looked at him suspiciously: "Who's here again?"
The young eunuch said, "It's the Thirteenth Master and the Fourteenth Master coming over..."
Fourth Master: “…Hmm?”
"Master, the two gentlemen are bringing the imperial edict. The emperor has a reward." The young eunuch said with a smile on his face, but soon he could not smile anymore because he felt that his master's face was getting darker and darker.
Wen Jiu saw the Fourth Master's expression and couldn't help but laugh, "Master, Jiu'er, come with me, okay?"
The Fourth Master waved his hand: "Go to sleep and have a good rest."
Wenjiu stood up on her own and covered her big black palm again: "Master, I can't sleep. Besides, I also want to eat fish hotpot..."
The Fourth Master frowned slightly, and finally said, "That's fine. Fortunately, you are familiar with everyone. But there is one more little Fourteenth. You don't need to pay too much attention to him."
Wenjiu silently lit a candle for the Fourteenth Master in his heart, and then followed the Fourth Master to the front yard.
The princes gathered in the front yard looked at each other in confusion.
"Hehe, what a coincidence, Ninth Master and Tenth Master. Didn't you say you had something to do? Why are you here?" The Third Master looked at the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master with suspicion.
"I came over as soon as I finished my work." Jiu Ye said dryly, and then looked at San Ye: "Third brother, didn't you say that you would let Fourth Brother have a good rest today and come back another day?"
"Hehe, I just came to see the fourth brother and bring him some good wine..." The third master turned his eyes away guiltily. To be honest, these two brats were fighting with him for food all day long. With them around, he couldn't have a peaceful meal.
The third master calculated the time and wanted to come early so that he and his fourth brother could drink and eat hotpot peacefully.
Unexpectedly, not only did those two brats come over again, but they were also followed by two younger ones! He secretly thought that during the meal, he must move his chopsticks more frequently!
"Thirteen, didn't you say you wouldn't come today?" Master Shi also went to see little Thirteen.
I didn't expect that this little Thirteenth Brother was actually so thoughtful. My ninth brother and I didn't have enough food at the Emperor's house, so after some discussion, we decided to go to Fourth Brother's house for a meal. Unexpectedly, Thirteenth Brother also came! The key point was that he had told me earlier that he couldn't go!
Thirteen noticed the look in his brother's eyes and was silent for a moment: "That's right, I suddenly have something I want to tell Fourth Brother."
After he finished speaking, everyone around him looked unconvinced.
Thirteen:"……"
What he said was true. He was a little thinner, and he had already tricked the little fourth sister-in-law into giving him a lot of food earlier. It was much more abundant than what his ninth and tenth brothers had.
Now you can eat whatever you want, but I didn’t come here just to eat.
The reason he came here was because he felt that Fourth Brother's matter was not too urgent. He also had time to deal with his own affairs.
During the more than ten years of imprisonment in his previous life, life was difficult, and his fourth brother once sent someone to take care of him.
Her name is Hongguo.
She is very ugly, but she is the person that Thirteen owes the most.
Back then, when everyone around him deserted him, she was the only one who stayed by his side except for his fourth brother.
At that time, he was even more unfortunate because he had contracted an epidemic. His wife, who had always been so caring towards him, could not escape. His sweet-speaking concubine took the silver and tried to escape, but was beheaded.
Only Hongguo treated him the same as always.
Even if she had a disgusting sore on her body, she would help him treat it without any disgust.
In the past, when I was lying on the bed in such a state of desolation that I couldn't even lift my hands, I also despised her appearance.
Thirteen even wondered why his fourth brother would send such an ugly person to him.
Eventually, things finally got better. The fourth brother ascended the throne, and he jumped from a prisoner to the most respected prince in the Qing Dynasty.
As the situation changed, he also followed his fourth brother and gained tremendous power.
Surrounded by beautiful women again, he indulged himself in the pleasures of the world and was determined not to fall in love with any woman again.
Thirteen still remembered that day when he and his colleagues drank a little too much. Hongguo came out to persuade him, saying that his health was not good and he had drunk too much.
Hongguo was ugly and his colleagues made fun of his appearance.
Although Thirteen was unhappy, he took his anger out on Hongguo and sternly scolded her to go back.
Thirteen still remembers her sad look that day.
He wanted to explain it clearly, but he was a master after all, and he couldn't bring himself to explain to a servant. It happened that his fourth brother sent him out of the capital on business, so he suppressed the matter for the time being.
But when he returned, he never saw her again. The new wife said that she had died of illness.
Dead?
The ugly girl who had accompanied him for countless days and nights was dead...
"Brother Thirteen? Hello?" Fourteen waved his hand in front of Thirteen's eyes: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The Tenth Master was also startled and looked at him with a frown: "Oh, you bit your lip! It's bleeding..."
Thirteen came back to his senses, his face pale and he smiled faintly: "...It's okay, just taste the taste of biting my lip..."
"Pfft!" The Tenth Master was immediately amused when he heard this. "You're quite the one! Fourth Brother will surely invite us to dinner later. Why are you so anxious?"
Look, he is so anxious that he starts eating the meat in his mouth.
