Chapter 404 Jiu Ye: What happened to Fourth Brother’s things?
Elsewhere, Master Jiu looked at Master Si's back as he left and asked in confusion, "Who made Brother Si angry again?"
The Tenth Master shook his head: "Not really. Fourth Brother has been with the Emperor these past two days. Who else could possibly make him angry?"
Jiu Ye waved his hand casually: "I don't know, anyway, Fourth Brother always has a bad mood for a few days. Fortunately, his anger today is not directed at us two."
"Hey? By the way, please write the big characters that Fourth Brother asked you to write carefully, so as not to offend him."
Master Shi slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot about this."
As Master Shi was speaking, he turned around and ran away: "Brother Jiu, I'm leaving first!"
Jiu Ye shook his head in amusement: "Old Ten, this kid has met his nemesis."
Then, he staggered towards Concubine Yi's Yiku Palace, carrying the pile of snacks he had just obtained.
As soon as they entered the gate of Yikun Palace, the young eunuch immediately saluted with joy: "Good luck to you, Master Jiu. You are here. The Queen just told me to go and invite you."
Jiu Ye raised his eyebrows: "What is mother doing?"
The young eunuch said, "The Fifth Master came over today. The Empress and the Fifth Master were talking in the room."
As he was talking, Jiu Ye also heard the sound of laughter coming from inside the room, so he pushed the door open and went in. He casually found a chair and sat down.
"What did Mother and Fifth Brother talk about? They look so happy?"
Concubine Yi was wearing a red flag gown embroidered with crabapple blossoms, the color of the Xiang Fei, a set of kingfisher phoenix headpieces on her head, and two round, large oriental pearls on her ears, which made her look radiant. Now she was letting the maids paint her nails.
After seeing Master Jiu, a smile immediately appeared on her gorgeous face. She said angrily, "Of course your fifth brother and I talked about you. I wonder where you've been, you little brat? Fortunately, your fifth brother was with me, otherwise I wouldn't have anyone to talk to all day."
"So, I'm just here to talk to my mother?" After hearing this, the Fifth Master covered his chest and pretended to be sad.
The Fifth Master and the Ninth Master look somewhat similar, both of them are born with excellent looks, but their temperaments are very different.
The Ninth Master has a bit of a demonic aura, while the Fifth Master is extremely gentle and looks like a modest young man.
"Look, I wonder who learned this from." Concubine Yi scolded him jokingly, "Tell me, do you spend more time talking to me or with our ancestors chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist scriptures?"
Fifth Master smiled gently and said, "Mother, I accompany the old ancestor in chanting Buddhist scriptures and reciting Buddhist scriptures, hoping that you will be healthy and beautiful forever."
Concubine Yi smiled and waved her hands: "Look at your fifth brother, he has taken all the blame."
Jiu Ye crossed his legs, casually picked up a piece of dessert, and said as he ate, "Fifth brother, don't just focus on praying for mother, you should also ask the Buddha to help your brother earn more money."
The Fifth Master shook his head and laughed, "Do you need to pray to the Buddha to make money?"
"Who complains about having too much money?" Jiu Ye said with a smile. He glanced casually and saw the young eunuch holding a portrait. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said, "Hey? Mother, why does this person look so familiar?"
Concubine Yi simply said, "Isn't this the girl from the Dong E family? Your wife doesn't even recognize her? I showed you her portrait before."
Concubine Yi asked the eunuch to bring the portrait to Master Jiu, and then said, "Take a closer look at her. I just talked to your fifth brother about your marriage. When you have time some time, go meet her. Mother also hopes that you and your wife will live happily together."
Jiu Ye took the portrait and looked at it carefully, then said with a smile, "She looks pretty average, but she's quite pleasing to the eye."
Concubine Yi couldn't help but glare at Master Jiu. "You kid, you said earlier that the girl was pretty, but now you think she's just average? If she's just average, I don't know where your mother is going to find a pretty girl for you."
The Fifth Master just smiled and said, "The daughter of the Dong E family is very pretty, much better than in the portrait. You can rest assured."
Jiu Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "You speak as if Fifth Brother has seen it."
Fifth Master: "I have indeed seen her. Earlier, when I was drinking with Third Brother, I saw Third Sister-in-law bringing your future wife to pay a visit. I knew she was quite a beauty."
"You two brothers, have a chat. It's time for my nails to be washed. I'm going to go wash them first."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Mother, you're really busy with your nails. Other people's nails last three to five months after getting infected, but you, on the other hand, have to dye them every few days."
As Jiu Ye spoke, he opened the oil-paper package he had gotten from Wen Jiu. Inside was spicy beef jerky, which he spread out on the table. "Fifth Brother, would you like to try some too?"
Wu Ye sniffed and smiled, "It tastes quite good." He then took one and put it to his lips, nodding, "Hmm, where did this new thing come from? It's a bit spicy, but it tastes great."
Jiu Ye took a deep breath after taking a bite of the spicy food, then smiled and said, "I got this food from Fourth Sister-in-law. If I had grabbed it a little later, it might have been snatched away by Tenth Brother. Fifth Brother, since we are brothers, I will give you half."
As he spoke, he untied several oil-paper packages that were tied together and handed one package to Master Wu.
Wu Ye's originally warm face suddenly turned cold, and his gloomy expression was very different from his usual appearance. "Who do you think this came from?"
Jiu Ye replied nonchalantly, "I went to Fourth Brother's house today. The food there was good, and she brought..."
Bang!
Jiu Ye had only said half of his words when the thing in his hand was knocked to the ground by Wu Ye.
The veins on Fifth Master's forehead were already bulging, and he looked at Ninth Master with a frosty expression and said:
"Did Master ever tell you to stay away from Fourth Brother? Who told you to take his food?"
The good food was thrown all over the floor for no apparent reason. Jiu Ye got angry and said, "Fifth brother, what are you crazy about? Don't waste food even if you don't want to eat it. What happened to Fourth brother's food?"
The Fifth Master had a cold face and suddenly overturned the table top. The Ninth Master's food and teacup were scattered all over the floor.
"If I say no, then no! If you dare to take his things again, I'll break your hands!"
Wu Ye's lips turned pale. He flicked his sleeves and turned away.
"What are you crazy about?" Jiu Ye was also very angry. He immediately squatted down and picked up the oil paper bag on the ground, patted the dust off it, and looked distressed.
When Concubine Yi was halfway through washing her hands, she heard a loud commotion outside and immediately went out: "What's going on? Lao Jiu, where is your fifth brother?"
Jiu Ye rolled his eyes in anger: "Who knows what he is crazy about? The lost things have disappeared.
"Mother, don't be like him. Your son brought you some food. If he doesn't want to eat it, we will."
Concubine Yi frowned slightly: "I just heard you talking about the Fourth Master, what's going on?"
