Chapter 400: Sister-in-law Si, you are so pitiful.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Gui bowed slightly and said, "Master Jiu, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
He then supported himself with the warm wine and went to the small kitchen.
As soon as Nanny Gui walked away, Master Jiu looked towards Wen Jiu with a horrified look on his face: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, how did you offend the Emperor?"
Wen Jiu's forehead was full of question marks: "How dare I offend the emperor? Even if I dare, I don't have the ability." At that moment, he couldn't help but frown: "Why do you say that, Master Jiu?"
Jiu Ye Jie took the white handkerchief Xiao Douzi handed over, wiped his hands, glanced at the kitchen again, and said in a low voice, "The emperor has even brought Nanny Gui to you. If this isn't an offense to him, what is it?"
Wen Jiu: "Madam Gui...is she the emperor's servant?"
She couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. Yes, it made sense for the head lady of the Imperial Tea and Food Room to be active in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The Ninth Master nodded. "Of course. Aunt Gui had instructed the Emperor Father on the rules in his early years. A few days ago, I heard that Aunt Gui had been transferred to Fourth Brother's residence. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. It even came to you! Tsk tsk, little Fourth Sister-in-law, you are so pitiful. How could you run into Aunt Gui when you were pregnant?"
"What are you talking about, Aunt Gui?" The Tenth Master came down from the slide and couldn't help but walk over to pick up a piece of meat. While chewing, he said, "Ninth Brother, you are so unlucky. Why are you mentioning Aunt Gui for no reason?"
Wen Jiu couldn't help but frown and reminded: "Wash your hands before eating."
Master Shi: "Oh, I'll wash it right away." As he said that, he stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth.
The Ninth Master rolled his eyes and said, "Are you blind? Nanny Gui was just following behind the Fourth Sister-in-law. The Emperor asked Nanny Gui to come and serve the Fourth Sister-in-law!"
The Tenth Master was so frightened that half of the meat strip fell into the water. He suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Madame Gui was sent to Little Fourth Sister-in-law!!!"
"Keep your voice down! Are you afraid that Aunt Gui can't hear you?" Ninth Master slapped Tenth Master on the back of the head and carefully pointed to the small kitchen over there, saying, "She's making tea in there!"
The Tenth Master's eyes widened, and he quickly wiped his hands and returned to the wine warmer: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, how did you offend the Emperor?"
Wen Jiu: "...What do you mean? Why can't I understand what you are saying?"
Jiu Ye only said: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, you have never heard of the reputation of Gui Mama. Gui Mama was a servant of the late Grand Empress Dowager and was in charge of the rules.
In the early years, she was the one who set the rules for the concubines who entered the palace for selection. Now, many concubines dare not even breathe when talking to her.
Which of us brothers hasn't suffered from her? Let alone us, even the Emperor had to learn the rules from her.
Jiu Ye spoke with saliva flying everywhere, and Wen Jiu was stunned.
The Tenth Master behind him nodded immediately: "That's right, when I was little, I just accidentally dropped an ornament that the Emperor's father liked, and the Emperor's father sent Gui Ma to live with me. I stayed with her for half a month, and she beat me so hard that my hands were swollen! I don't know how I got through that half a month!"
Jiu Ye nodded in agreement, "That's right. One year, I ate two walnuts from the Emperor's father, and he sent Gui Ma to live with me. I stayed there for 20 days, and I almost lost my life."
Wenjiu frowned and blinked: "Walnut?"
Jiu Ye curled his lips and said, "It's not delicious, but it looks pretty good, shiny and oily. The Emperor has been scrubbing it over and over again with his hands all day long, and I thought it would be delicious."
Wenjiu: “…” Wow, it turns out to be a play walnut.
No wonder this naughty kid has to be dealt with.
But Wenjiu frowned again as he thought about it: "But it's not right, what did I do wrong?"
They either dropped an ornament or cracked a walnut, and they didn't do anything wrong. The last time he saw Emperor Kangxi, he even showed him some love.
The Tenth Master took a close look at the warm wine, then suddenly looked at the Ninth Master beside him and said, "Ninth Brother, do you think it's possible that Fourth Brother offended the Emperor, and that the Emperor is using Nanny Gui to torture Little Fourth Sister-in-law?"
Jiu Ye rolled his eyes: "Then why not just torture Fourth Brother directly?"
The Tenth Master immediately shook his head and said, "That's not right. Ninth Brother forgot that the Emperor sent Nanny Gui to Fourth Brother's side. She stayed there for two months, but Fourth Brother didn't even react. He just did what he had to do all day.
Later, my eldest brother had a conflict with a minister in the court and lashed out with a whip. In a rage, the emperor sent Nanny Gui back to my eldest brother.
The Tenth Master said with great certainty, "It must be that the Emperor felt that Nanny Gui couldn't handle Fourth Brother, so he found another way to deal with Little Fourth Sister-in-law, to make Fourth Brother feel distressed."
Jiu Ye touched his chin and said, "You know what, it does make sense."
Then he looked at Wen Jiu with sympathy: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, you are so pitiful."
Warming the wine: "..."
It really can't be that serious. Punishing myself and making the Fourth Master feel bad? What the hell is going on here?
And sent a trusted nanny to punish himself?
Wen Jiu felt that she didn't have that much face.
But now I understand, it turns out that this Nanny Gui was not sent by the Fourth Master. That's why the Fourth Master would send a Nanny like this to me?
No wonder this nanny always felt like a slave. She used to serve the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the princes all day long. Didn't she feel like the lowest-ranking slave?
If you think about it carefully, this Nanny Gui is really wronged. It would have been fine if she had just taught the princes, but now she is sent to serve a concubine. I guess she must be upset.
But what exactly is the emperor's intention?
"Miss, the Thirteenth Master and the Fourteenth Master are here." As they were talking, they suddenly heard the young eunuch come in to report.
"Why did these two guys follow me?" Jiu Ye wondered.
The Tenth Master immediately grabbed another handful of beef jerky: "He followed us here, maybe he was after the Fourth Master's food!"
Wenjiu glanced at him with a helpless smile. Shi Ye knew that Grandpa Shi was hot and wanted to eat. He would reimburse him later. He went back and stuffed clothes into his hands, and his clothes were all dirty.
Master Shi patted his chest and said, "It's okay."
Wenjiu shook his head in amusement and stood up to greet him. Before he had taken a few steps, Fourteen came running in from a distance.
"Warm the wine, look what I brought you!"
The Fourteenth Master walked into the yard with a happy look on his face, and waved behind him: "Thirteenth Brother, hurry up!"
"Little Fourth Sister-in-law, Thirteenth is here to bother you." The Thirteenth Master greeted Wen Jiu from a distance.
Wen Jiu also bowed and saluted with the two of them: "Thirteenth Master, Fourteenth Master, good luck."
He couldn't help but look behind the two of them, and saw a little eunuch holding a box as long as his arm, but he couldn't see what was inside the box.
