Chapter 403 Everyone knows about the slide, except him!
"It's so fun in Sister-in-law Si's yard, especially the slide, it's so interesting." Fourteen was still reminiscing as he walked on the road.
"If you like, you can build one in your own yard." Thirteenth Master wasn't particularly interested. Having lived two lives, he naturally had little interest in these childish things. However, he was even more curious about who had made this thing. Such a bizarre, yet childlike thing, something he had never seen before in his previous life.
After hearing this, Fourteen's eyes lit up: "You are right, Thirteenth Brother. I can just make one myself in the yard later." Just when he was talking excitedly, he turned around and saw the gloomy-faced Fourth Master standing at the corner.
Fourteen was startled and couldn't help but pat his chest: "Fourth brother, what are you doing? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
The fourth master glanced at him and said, "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."
Fourteen's eyes widened: "Why should I feel guilty? It's because you are as silent as a ghost."
Thirteen shook his head and laughed, then clasped his fists towards the Fourth Master and said, "Fourth Brother, are you done?"
The Fourth Master nodded and said, "Just came out of the Palace of Pure Purity."
Thirteen smiled and took out two oil-paper packets from his pile of food: "Fourth brother, these are what Little Fourth Sister-in-law asked me to bring to you."
The Fourth Master took it and raised his eyebrows, "Just came back from my house?"
Thirteen nodded: "Yes, little Fourth Sister-in-law is thinking about Fourth Brother, so she said that she would bring him some food when she saw him."
After hearing this, the Fourth Master subconsciously looked towards the food. The little girl seemed to take him so seriously that she would talk about him several times a day whenever she was away from him. He didn't see her for such a long time, and who knows how she missed him.
Fourteenth had come back to his senses by now. Looking at the Fourth Master in front of him, he immediately approached with a smile: "Fourth Brother, the slide in your house is really nice. Can you get one for my brother too? I'll put it in my yard, so that when I get up early in the morning or late at night, I can play on it for a while. I'll engrave the eight-part essay I've been reciting on my slide. I can read it while I slide. I promise I can memorize it!"
The Fourth Master couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Slide?"
What is that?
Fourteen said, "Fourth brother, stop playing dumb and get me one too. I promise to listen to you during this period. Didn't you ask me to do horse stance for an hour? I won't be lazy anymore, and I won't go to the Empress Dowager to complain about you. Okay?"
The Fourth Master's eyes narrowed as he listened, "So it was you who went to complain to the Empress Dowager the other day."
Fourteen shrank his neck and laughed dryly twice: "Haha, Fourth Brother, that was a misunderstanding. I won't do that again in the future. Now that I have the slide, I will study the article honestly."
The Fourth Master couldn't help but frown: "What exactly is a slide?"
"Fourth brother, have you never seen a slide?" Thirteen looked surprised. Fourth brother didn't know either. Could it be that this thing was made by Fourth Sister-in-law again?
If you think about it carefully, it seems that these strange things are mostly around her. How can a woman have so many strange things in her head?
I also remembered what happened when a few people gave gifts to Sister-in-law Si.
Come to think of it, I had seen a music box in my previous life, so it was obvious that Fourteen was also surprised by the extremely exquisite music box.
However, Sister-in-law Si was extremely calm from beginning to end. She expressed her gratitude to Fourteenth very well, but it was obvious that she was not surprised by this thing, nor did she have the joy of an ordinary woman seeing exquisite things.
Even women from aristocratic families who are used to seeing gorgeous clothes and beautiful gowns may not necessarily behave so calmly. Why would Sister-in-law Si, who was born a palace maid, behave like this?
Thirteen couldn't figure it out.
"Fourth brother, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" Fourteen suddenly curled his lips. "You haven't even seen the things in your house? Who are you trying to fool? The slide is right in Fourth Sister-in-law's yard. It's so big."
The Fourth Master frowned, too lazy to pay attention to him, turned around and left.
Fourteen behind him was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Fourth brother is so stingy, I'm your biological brother, what's wrong with asking for a slide?"
After thinking for a moment, he shouted unwillingly, "Fourth Brother, can I trade you with my new scimitar that can cut through iron like mud?"
Looking from a distance, the Fourth Master didn't even turn his head.
Thirteen glanced at the angry Fourteen, patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Fourth Brother has been too busy lately. He's probably in a bad mood, so don't worry about it. Maybe Fourth Brother really won't do it."
Thirteen was really afraid that Fourteen would start to go against his fourth brother again. He didn't want to see his brothers torturing each other like they did in their previous life.
Fourteenth waved his fist viciously in the direction where Fourth Master left: "I'm so pissed off. If he won't let me do it, I'll just go to his house when I want to play! Anyway, I can still get some food from Wenjiu."
Thirteen was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and laughed.
He breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Fourteen didn't seem to take it to heart.
The Fourth Master was planning to go back quickly to find out what was going on, but he ran into the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master on the way.
The two of them came over and saluted him with a smile: "Hello, Fourth Brother."
"I didn't expect to actually run into Fourth Brother." Ninth Master handed the oil-paper bag to Fourth Master: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law said that if she saw Fourth Brother, she would bring you some food."
The Fourth Master inexplicably had several more bags of food in his hands.
"You guys just came back from my house too?"
Jiu Ye nodded: "Yeah."
"Did you see the slide?"
The Tenth Master became excited when he said this: "Fourth Brother, the slide is a great thing. If I could have played on it while memorizing my lessons when I was a kid, why would it have been so difficult?"
Jiu Ye couldn't help but praise: "Fourth brother, you are really amazing to think of such a way. When I have a child in the future, please help me make one in the backyard. I will definitely reward you handsomely." Fourth sister-in-law is pregnant now, and it seems that those things are prepared for the unborn child.
"I want some too." Master Shi rubbed his hands: "Why give it to the child? I still need it myself."
The Fourth Master felt inexplicably even more upset and turned around and left.
After leaving the palace gate, he suddenly stopped and turned his gaze to Su Peisheng beside him: "What is a slide?"
Su Peisheng said with a smile: "My lord, I went to the young lady's place to get food two days ago and was lucky enough to see it. The slide is very big, even bigger than an ordinary elephant. People can climb up to the top and slide down in one go. It's very interesting..."
As he spoke, Su Peisheng's voice became lower and lower, because his master's expression became more and more unsightly.
"Did you know that slides are awesome?"
The Fourth Master squinted his eyes for a long time before saying this.
Su Peisheng shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no."
The Fourth Master rolled his eyes at him, left the carriage, jumped onto the horse swiftly, and galloped away.
Everyone knows about the little girl's things, even his own servants know about them, but he is the only one who doesn't know?
For a moment, the Fourth Master's face turned as dark as a boiler. He squeezed the horse's belly hard, increasing the speed a bit.
