Chapter 401 A gift for warm wine.
"Wenjiu, come over here and take a look. Do you like it?"
The Fourteenth and Thirteenth Masters walked up to the Ninth and Tenth Masters, and before they even sat down, they placed their precious boxes on the table and spread them out.
Wen Jiu looked over with some curiosity: "Fourteenth Master, what is this?"
"This tribute from Southeast Asia is very fresh. I spent a lot of effort to get it." The Fourteenth Master smiled and raised his chin. "See if you like it. I think this thing is most suitable for you, so I brought it to you."
After hearing this, Wenjiu subconsciously looked into the box and saw a more exquisite small box inside the box.
Fourteen opened the small box with a smile on his face, and immediately a ding-dong sound was heard.
It turned out to be a music box.
A little girl in white gauze was spinning in the music box.
On the lid of the box, there is a small mirror embedded, the size of a palm, which is extremely exquisite.
"Oh, Fourteen, you really spent a lot of money this time? Where did you find this exquisite little thing?" Master Ten couldn't help but poke the little girl's white skirt, his tiger eyes full of curiosity.
Fourteen patted his chest and said, "Of course. Do you think I'm like you guys? All I do is come here to drink for free, and I don't even bring any gifts?"
As soon as these words came out, Thirteen silently took out a stone from his arms and placed it on the table: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, I found a pretty good rough stone a few days ago. If you want to do anything with it, feel free to do so."
Wen Jiu actually doesn't have much obsession with music boxes, but she is still willing to accept gifts.
Earlier, Ninth Master had given gifts to the children, and his luck points increased at that time. However, several people gave gifts to him. If everyone gave gifts, then he would be more greedy for his luck points. He thanked Fourteenth Master and Thirteenth Master in disguise, and looked at Ninth Master and Tenth Master with a smile in his eyes.
Jiu Ye swallowed hard and said, "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, this can't be the case. I gave you this music box before."
Jiu Ye was telling the truth. He had indeed given a music box earlier, as well as a crystal ball and a small Western mirror that he got from somewhere unknown.
Jiu Ye often does business with foreigners, so he has never been short of these things.
Speaking of which, besides Fourth Master, Ninth Master gave her the most gifts, but Wen Jiu still smiled and said, "Ninth Master, those things are not for me."
Jiu Ye met Wen Jiu's eyes and finally let out a leisurely breath: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law is right. Tomorrow, I will make up for the gift tomorrow, okay?"
Xiao Si's wife was right. The gift was agreed to be for the child. It really wasn't for Xiao Si's wife.
Now that Fourth Sister-in-law is still pregnant, it is not easy to talk about the child directly. Jiu Ye thought that he could just give her a replacement later.
Wenjiu's eyes turned to the Tenth Master again, and he saw that the Tenth Master was smiling and not saying anything.
The Tenth Master immediately cleared his throat: "Um... Fourth Sister-in-law, I have prepared a gift for you. I am different from Ninth Brother. I always eat Fourth Sister-in-law's food. How could I forget Fourth Sister-in-law's gift?
I didn't bring it today, so I'll send it over tomorrow." As he said this, he looked at his ninth brother and curled his lips.
Jiu Ye was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Okay, you old ten!"
This brat actually dared to step on him!
The Tenth Master laughed and said angrily, "Ninth Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but what's our relationship with Little Fourth Sister-in-law? You can't always be so concerned about those small amounts of money!"
Jiu Ye gritted his teeth grimly: "Old! Ten!"
Master Shi sensed something was wrong, grabbed a handful of walnut kernels, got up and ran away.
The next second, Jiu Ye rolled up his sleeves and chased after him.
"Nine Brother, why did you hit me when you were just talking nicely?"
"Don't run, I promise I won't fight you!"
"I'd be a fool to believe you!"
The two of them were running and jumping around making a lot of noise, while Thirteen and Fourteen had some free time to start working on the slide for warming the wine.
Seeing the two of them looking surprised, he simply warmed up the wine and let Xiaodouzi take them out to play.
As soon as the masters arrived, her yard was in chaos.
Wenjiu couldn't help laughing as he saw that each of them looked happier than the other.
"Get some snacks. They love beef jerky, so it's good for their nutrition. Also, pack some walnut kernels and candy. When the brothers go back later, each of them should take some with them."
"Thank you, Sister-in-law Four." The Thirteenth Master took a moment to hear Wen Jiu instructing the servants, saying that he had thanked her from a distance.
What the gentlemen liked to hear most was Wenjiu's words about bringing them food. They were frowning just now when they talked about giving gifts, but now they all had smiling faces.
Wen Jiu shook his head in amusement. Before meeting these princes, he always felt that each one was more brutal than the other. They would beat or kill at the slightest provocation.
Now I realize that they are all easy to coax.
"Master Jiu, your tea." Amidst the laughter, Aunt Gui came out from the kitchen and respectfully served tea to Master Jiu.
Jiu Ye paused, lowered his head to look at Nanny Gui, swallowed hard, coughed lightly, and said, "Put it on the table."
"Yes," Aunt Gui replied, walking towards the edge of the table with the teacup in hand.
The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became extremely cold because of the appearance of Aunt Gui.
The Tenth Master who had jumped onto the tree also came down obediently, brushed off the dust on his body, and sat down steadily at the table.
Fourteen was originally being nonchalant, playing on the slide all the time, but when he saw Aunt Gui, he came back and sat down obediently, his back straight and his face expressionless.
Even Thirteen couldn't help but tidy up his clothes and drink tea.
The expression on Aunt Gui's face did not change from beginning to end. She served tea to the gentlemen one by one in order, and placed the last cup next to the wine warmer.
"Please use it, young lady."
Then, he stood steadily behind Wen Jiu, with his brows lowered and his eyes closed.
Wenjiu felt that the whole world was a little mysterious. These polite and courteous princes in front of him, were they the ones who were jumping up and down just now?
I looked at Aunt Gui again. I had never realized before that Aunt Gui had such great magical powers?
Seeing Xiaodouzi coming back with some snacks, he took them and pushed the beef jerky to the middle. "Would you like to try it, my princes?"
The other gentlemen around him didn't move at all. After a while, they saw the Tenth Master being very polite. He picked up a very small piece, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly with his mouth closed. He seemed to think it tasted good. He nodded at the warm wine and pulled the corner of his mouth slightly: "Hmm, it tastes very good."
If Wen Jiu had met him on the first day, he might have thought this young man was polite. But now, looking at the Tenth Master like this, for a moment he thought he was possessed by a ghost.
Unable to bear watching any more, he warmed the wine and said, "Mammy, the kitchen is still making milk tea. Please go and keep an eye on it."
