Chapter 371 The “Gentle” Fourth Master
The Tenth Master immediately swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue: "Haha, well, Fourth Brother and Little Fourth Sister-in-law have something to say, hurry up and say it, I...I'll go eat something."
Then, he turned and ran away.
The other people behind her who were on good terms with Wen Jiu were just as close, and they would find a chance to comfort her.
Seeing that Wenjiu was in good condition, and their fourth brother was blocking the way like the King of Hell, it was difficult to say anything, so they all went to eat skewers with peace of mind.
Wen Jiu had some free time, but he turned his attention to Uncle Wen.
He immediately walked over and helped his second uncle up: "Second uncle, don't worry about me, it's okay."
Just now, when Second Uncle suddenly ran out and said that the imperial kitchen would deliver food, Wenjiu heard the system broadcast saying that it had received the love from his two Second Uncles.
This was the first time I met my second uncle, but I didn't feel strange at all.
"Please wait for me."
As she spoke, she took out some more skewers from the copper pot, spread them on oil paper, and dipped them in some seasoning. She also took some small snacks wrapped in oil paper from the space and placed them in Second Uncle's hands.
"Uncle can hide in the corner and eat something to warm himself up."
Wen Shoubao was still in a daze when he was helped to the side by his niece.
Looking at the food in his hand, he pinched his face fiercely.
Oh my God, is he dreaming? He and the emperor ate meat from the same pot?
When he came to his senses, he was shocked to realize that Jiu'er had given him the dish without his permission. He was so frightened that he fell to his knees.
"Second uncle, what are you doing?"
Wen Jiu was just about to go over to take a look when she turned around and saw her second uncle kneeling down. She was shocked and immediately came over to help him.
Over there, everyone was bustling around the copper pot, cooking food, but the Fourth Master's eyes never left the warming wine. Seeing her actually helping a man, his eyes widened and his brows furrowed, "Who is this?"
When Wen Shoucai saw this, his legs went even weaker. The Fourth Prince, who had been in the limelight recently, was now standing right in front of him. He was so scared that he lowered his head to the ground.
Wenjiu tried to help him twice but failed to get him up.
The Fourth Master's expression was extremely grim. He reached out and grabbed the wine, frowning as he looked down at her: "Warm the wine!"
Wen Jiu saw the dark look on Fourth Master's face and immediately explained with a helpless smile: "Master, this is my second uncle, Wen Shoubao."
When the Fourth Master heard this, his handsome face froze, and the dark cloud on his head instantly dissipated without a trace: "...Second uncle of this family?"
Wen Jiu nodded: "Yeah, I secretly brought him some food, but he seemed to be frightened and wouldn't get up."
After hearing this, the Fourth Master nodded in understanding. He had actually forgotten that Jiu'er's ancestors were imperial chefs. It was only when he returned from Jinyang that he wanted her to meet her family and casually looked up her father.
It was then that I learned about her family situation, and I was no longer surprised that she ate so much.
The Fourth Master simply said, "Since you are family, please get up quickly."
After hearing this, Uncle Wen responded reflexively and stood up immediately. His whole face was stiff.
The Fourth Master looked over and saw that the second uncle of the Wen family was a bit fatter and looked very honest, but at this moment he had a dazed look of fear on his face.
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for several times, he didn't know what to say.
Finally, he said, "Jiu'er, have a good talk with him. If you want anything else to eat, I'll go get it for you."
Wen Jiu looked at his second uncle inquiringly, and his second uncle immediately shook his head and said repeatedly that he didn't dare.
"Master, don't eat for now." Wen Jiu said.
The Fourth Master nodded. Seeing that Second Uncle Wen was very afraid of him, he frowned and hesitated for a long time before pulling up the corners of his mouth and revealing what he thought was a gentle smile: "No need to be nervous."
Then he said to Wen Jiu, "I'll wait for you in a distant place."
He turned around and walked a few steps, and was really standing at a distance waiting.
Second Uncle had calmed down a bit, but when he looked up, he was met with Fourth Master's weird smile. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Jiu...Jiu'er, you, you, go and get busy. Second Uncle doesn't need you here."
What does this mean, Fourth Master?
Uncle Wen suddenly started to worry about his niece and kept pushing her: "Go quickly."
People say that the Fourth Prince is naturally shy, and when he smiles, it's always bad news. Just now, the Fourth Prince actually smiled at him, and that smile was truly chilling, frightening. Poor little niece! If she had been a concubine to another prince, she wouldn't have to deal with the unpredictable Fourth Prince all day long.
"Uncle, I'm not very busy right now." Wen Jiu helped his uncle up, feeling both amused and helpless. "To be honest, I was inconsiderate. I wanted to let him have a taste too."
She was used to sharing food with those around her, just like when she was outside, she would share food with those around her. The last time the emperor came to the Prince's Mansion for dinner, she also shared food with Liang Jiugong and Su Peisheng, but for a moment she didn't realize that this was in the palace.
Wen Shoubao immediately shook his head: "How can I blame you? Second uncle told you that you have to serve well and never make Fourth Master unhappy. He doesn't have a good temper." He lowered his voice to a very low level when he said the latter part.
Then he said worriedly, "Go back quickly, or the Fourth Master will get angry."
Thinking of the Fourth Master's smile just now, Wen Shoubao felt frightened.
Warming wine: “???”
Why does the Fourth Master look like a man-eating tiger when he is in the mouth of the Second Uncle?
Both of them subconsciously turned their gaze to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master was waiting bored. When he saw them looking at him, he thought that since they were Jiu'er's family after all, he should be gentler to them. So he nodded at them and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly.
Wen Shoucai's legs went weak and he swallowed hard, "Jiu'er, go quickly. The Fourth Master is angry again."
Warming wine: "......"
Wenjiu turned around and looked at the angry Fourth Master as his second uncle mentioned. To be honest, if it weren't for the big heart staring above his head, he really looked like he was angry.
"Sister-in-law Si! Sister-in-law Si! Come quickly!" Before Wenjiu could say a few words, he heard Master Shi shouting at the top of his voice on the other end.
Wen Jiu replied, "Hey, I'll be right there." Then, he smiled apologetically at his second uncle and said, "Second uncle, I'll come see you when I have time."
As he spoke, he quickly turned to the Fourth Master and said, "Master, let's go."
The Fourth Master even gave his Second Uncle a word of advice: "When you're on leave, you can go to the Fourth Prince's residence to see Jiu'er. It wouldn't hurt to walk around more."
Then, in a good mood, he went to the Tenth Master with the warm wine.
Wen Jiu looked at the Fourth Master's appearance and said with a strange expression, "Master, are you in a good mood today?"
