Chapter 296: The Smart Little Fourteen
After hearing this, Ninth Master slapped Tenth Master on the back of his head and said, "I see you're anxious." Then he bumped into Tenth Master, signaling him to go see Little Fourteen.
Fourteenth was looking at Ninth Master and Tenth Master with a face full of resentment. His little face was tightly wrinkled and his big eyes were full of accusations.
The Tenth Master couldn't help but shrink his neck and immediately pushed his Ninth Brother, obviously signaling the Ninth Master to go and coax him.
The Ninth Master was at a loss, so he asked the Tenth Master to think of a solution, but he didn't expect that the Tenth Master would back out.
At that moment, he could only laugh dryly and said, "Haha, Xiao Shisi is here too?"
Fourteen narrowed his already imposing eyes and said, "Ninth and Tenth Brothers are really fast. I couldn't find you the moment I turned around!"
"Haha, isn't it because you're afraid of disturbing Fourteen and the Emperor's conversation?" Seeing Fourteen's displeased expression, Master Jiu immediately said, "Fourteen, just wait. Brother Jiu will definitely find a way to get you some instant noodles today."
Fourteenth heard this and curled his lips: "No need, I'll ask Fourth Sister-in-law for it myself later."
Before he left, he got all the information out of Liang Jiugong's mouth. These meals were made by his fourth sister-in-law.
He never thought that the Fourth Sister-in-law, who seemed so inconspicuous on weekdays, could actually do all these things. Fourteen was ready. If the Fourth Sister-in-law could really give him food, then he would hate her less and not care about her slander against him in the past!
When Fourteen said this, everyone around him looked at each other in surprise.
"Fourteen, it's not very nice of you to call him that." Master Ten said with disapproval.
Xiao Si's wife is a buddy, so of course he can't cheat her. If Xiao Shisi said this, it would be fine for them to hear it, but others would think that Xiao Si's wife was committing an act of disrespect and not distinguishing between superiors and inferiors.
Fourteen frowned: "Why can't I call him that?"
Isn’t that what my brothers usually call me?
What's wrong?
"You don't even know this?" Master Shi frowned and lectured, "Remember to call her Little Fourth Sister-in-law."
Fourteen was about to ask more when he saw his fourth brother come out with an extremely beautiful woman by his side. He couldn't help but stare at him. How did his fourth brother get such a beautiful woman?
"Fourth Brother, long time no see. You seem to be getting stronger now?" The Third Master's eyes lit up, especially when he saw the warm wine.
The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes. How could he have forgotten about this?
He immediately blocked the warm wine tightly and said, "Third brother, have you been eating too much recently? You look like you've gained a lot of weight."
When the Third Master heard this, he subconsciously touched his face and frowned. "What do you mean by eating too much? I've obviously been eating less recently... Hey, ever since I came back from Jinyang, I haven't been able to enjoy my food..."
When the Fourth Master met the Third Master's gaze, he could tell what was going on in his mind even with his eyes closed. Would someone who doesn't appreciate food eat so much that he would eat himself so much?
Ta didn't respond, only saying, "Fourteen, where is the Emperor's edict?"
"The Emperor has given his instructions, saying that you, Fourth Brother, should take good care of yourself," Fourteen said, waving to the eunuchs behind him. There were eight eunuchs behind him, each holding a tray. The Fourth Master knew without even looking that these were precious tonics.
"Thank you, Father Emperor." The Fourth Master bowed towards the Forbidden City, then gestured to everyone to come in and said, "Everyone, please come in and talk."
Following the crowd into the house, Fourteen's eyes rolled around and he suddenly said, "By the way, Fourth Brother, Mother has something else for you."
As he said this, he took a box from the eunuch beside him and gave it to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment: "Did mother give it to him?" The last copybook he rewarded was snatched away from him by the Fourteenth Master.
Fourteen nodded: "Mother made a pair of shoes by hand and asked me to bring them to Fourth Brother."
The Fourth Master subconsciously took the box and was stunned for a long time without saying anything.
Fourteenth didn't notice the Fourth Master's anomaly and just said, "Fourth Brother, Mother still has something to say to Fourth Sister-in-law. Can I go to the backyard to see Fourth Sister-in-law?"
Fourteen thought, what's the point of being with his brothers? He wanted to go find his fourth sister-in-law and ask her to make him some instant noodles.
The thought of having a large amount of instant noodles made Shisi smile. He was so smart!
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother! I'm talking to you! Is this okay?" Fourteen didn't get a reply for a long time and urged anxiously.
The Fourth Master came back to his senses and waved his hand: "As you wish."
Fourteen was immediately happy when he heard it: "Then I'll take my leave first?"
Then he smiled triumphantly along with everyone else, turned around and ran towards the inner house.
"Fourteen, aren't you coming with us?" Master Shi looked at him strangely. "Is this brat really not coming to Fourth Brother's house just to eat?"
Fourteen said seriously, "I still have some important things to do, brothers, please get busy first."
Then he rushed into the yard quickly with the little eunuch.
Master Shi rubbed his forehead and said, "Little Fourteen, who was just crying and making a fuss over a bag of instant noodles, doesn't want to eat anything delicious now?"
Thinking of something delicious, he immediately and carefully moved closer to the wine warmer and whispered, "Sister-in-law Si, what are we eating today? Have you arranged what I want to eat?"
Wenjiu was being held by the Fourth Master, and after hearing what he said, he turned around and made an OK gesture to him.
It is said that when the gestures were first made, the Tenth Master was completely confused, but now he probably understands the strange gestures made by his Fourth Sister-in-law.
A thumbs-up signified awesomeness, while three fingers meant no problem. He didn't understand why it was arranged this way, but it was very convenient.
Jiu Ye also came over immediately: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, what about what I like?"
The wine continues to warm.
Thirteen was thinking about something, walking with his head down and not saying a word.
The Third Master looked for a long time but couldn't understand what was going on. His eyes kept moving back and forth between Wenjiu, the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master.
Wenjiu was actually paying close attention to the Fourth Master at this moment. Ever since the Fourth Master received the pair of shoes made by Concubine De, he seemed to be in a bad state.
According to the plot, within half a year after the Fourth Master ascends the throne, he will have a fierce conflict with the Fourteenth Master and the Defei.
And it made Concubine De angry to death.
When she traveled through time, she always felt that the mother and son were weird, and it was more awkward for them to be together than for strangers.
That day, the Ninth Master and the others were talking about preparing something for each family's mother, but the Fourth Master said nothing.
Wen Jiu then asked him if he wanted him to prepare one for him.
The Fourth Master was reluctant at first, but after listening to Wen Jiu's persuasion, he let her go.
Wenjiu thinks that at the time of Concubine De, gifts should be seen more as a reflection of the thoughtfulness of the person.
She picked out a few valuable pieces of jewelry from the Fourth Master's storeroom, and then added a lot of small trinkets. Finally, she prepared some food.
Seeing this, the Fourth Master simply said, "I'm afraid your efforts are in vain."
Now it seemed that his efforts had not been in vain. It seemed that Concubine De was not completely devoid of affection for the Fourth Master. If she truly didn't care, why would she have embroidered the shoes herself?
As for the Fourth Master, he was not as indifferent to his biological mother as he said.
There is still hope after all, right?
