Chapter 56 Serving the Master Well Is the Greatest Rule
"Jiu'er thought about dressing up nicely to meet me, so that's why I spent some time..."
Wen Jiu explained and pointed to the jade hairpin on his head: "Look, Master, these are all given by me, and I must not let them go to waste."
The Fourth Master glanced at Wen Jiu's hairpin. It was just an ordinary jade hairpin. To put it nicely, it was simply made, and to put it bluntly, it was crudely made.
Was this broken hairpin given by him?
She had a very good appearance, which made the hairpin look more beautiful, but one also felt it was a pity for someone like her to wear such a thing.
Seeing Wenjiu's happy face, the Fourth Master finally resisted the urge to pull out the hairpin and replace it with a better one.
Su Peisheng, this stupid servant, chose such a hairpin to give to him. Is he embarrassing him?
He squinted his eyes and looked back at Su Peisheng, his face becoming even darker.
The servants around were so frightened that they fell silent, obviously sensing their master's displeasure.
Wenjiu had already figured out the trick. The Fourth Master's face looked ugly and dark, but the heart on his head looked very nice.
Inexplicably, he felt that the sight of this gentleman with a sullen face yet showing him love was somewhat adorable, so he ran up to the Fourth Master in a good mood and gave him a back rub: "Master, are you hungry? Jiu'er made some new snacks, would you mind trying some?"
Since others have shown their love, she should at least give some reward.
The Fourth Master frowned in disapproval: "Where are the rules?"
Wen Jiu looked at the half heart that popped out of his head again, and smiled even sweeter: "Rules can't stop people from eating, right? Serving the master well is the most important rule."
The Fourth Master glanced at Wen Jiu and said, "Slippery tongue."
Instead, he picked up the teacup and said nothing.
Wen Jiu immediately smiled and said to Su Peisheng behind him, "Eunuch Su, I'll write a meal list. You can ask the kitchen to prepare it according to the list. Then, please bring it over here."
The Fourth Master frowned and said, "Why is it so troublesome? Just go to the kitchen. I will eat your snacks anyway."
Wen Jiu wanted to roll his eyes after hearing what he said.
It’s like eating your own snacks and gifts!
Didn’t he call me here because he wanted to eat fried wonton?
He let her cook and let her cook alone in the kitchen. He was so happy!
Wen Jiu immediately smiled and said, "But it tastes best when it's fresh out of the pot. Jiu'er wants you to have the best taste."
Even though she can stay in the kitchen all day just to have a good meal.
But cooking for a man and taking the trouble to cook is just a dream!
If you don't do it right in front of him and let him watch carefully, how can he understand the hard work?
The Fourth Master frowned: "There's not even a pot here."
Wenjiu pointed at the charcoal fire and said, "This will do. Add some wood at the bottom and a pot on top. It will burn very quickly."
Seeing that the Fourth Master still seemed to be somewhat disapproving, Wen Jiu leaned over and whispered in the Fourth Master's ear, saying in a voice that only two people could hear: "Master, I'll be gone for a long time if I go to the kitchen."
The Fourth Master dodged as if he was burned, and his ears turned red instantly.
He turned around and glared at Wenjiu, only to see her looking at him with a bewildered expression. There seemed to be a faint mist brewing in her dark eyes, and she looked inexplicably pitiful.
"Ahem," the Fourth Master coughed uncomfortably, "Aren't you supposed to go write the meal list? Go quickly."
Wenjiu bowed his head and went to the main room next to the martial arts field to get pen and ink without saying a word.
The Fourth Master looked at her dejected back, and took a sip of tea with inexplicable irritation.
Then, he put the teacup down heavily and said, "Why is this tea so unpalatable?"
Su Peisheng, who was standing beside him, was startled and immediately stepped forward: "Master, I will go change it now."
Although Huangshan Maojian is not my favorite, it is commonly used and I have never picked it.
If I think about it carefully, it’s not the tea that’s the problem, it’s still a problem of mood.
After the wine-warming girl left, Lord Beile got angry again.
He was extremely tormented for a moment, hoping that Wenjiu would come back soon. He didn't want to face such a master alone!
[Master...what have you done? In just a short while, the Fourth Master has developed four emperors' hearts.] Xiao Jin was dumbfounded. Did he miss something?
The master was clearly just talking to the Fourth Master!
Wenjiu wrote the recipe calmly, thinking that today was a really great harvest.
The Fourth Master was more tolerant of her than she had imagined. She seemed to see a comfortable life beckoning to her.
Not long after, Wenjiu came back. Su Peisheng saw him from afar, breathed a sigh of relief, and trotted forward to greet him.
"Miss, just give me this prescription and I will ask someone to get it." Su Peisheng winked at Wenjiu while talking, indicating her to look at the Fourth Master.
"Then thank you for your help, sir." Wenjiu smiled and nodded, showing that he understood.
When he walked to the side of the Fourth Master, Wenjiu ignored him and just stood quietly behind him, looking well-behaved.
In the distance, Fourteen was practicing archery enthusiastically. The Fourth Master seemed to be looking at him, but in fact his mind had already drifted to Wen Jiu behind him.
Come to think of it, servants used to stand like this with their heads lowered and their faces submissive. But when Wen Jiu looked like this, the Fourth Master always felt something was wrong.
"Well, what should I make to eat?"
The Fourth Master asked casually without even glancing at Wenjiu.
It was so cold, Wenjiu really didn't want to stay here with him in the cold, and didn't even bother to say a word.
However, when you are under someone's roof, you still have to bow your head, and it has to be low enough to make others feel comfortable.
With a look of surprise on her face, she cautiously moved closer to the Fourth Master: "That's a surprise for you, you'll know in a moment."
Seeing that she wanted to come to him but seemed afraid, the Fourth Master frowned and said, "Come and have a cup of hot tea too."
"Thank you, sir." Wenjiu thanked him immediately, with a sincere smile on his face.
This gentleman finally said something that was acceptable to the ear.
The kettle was still sitting on the charcoal fire, steaming hot. Without waiting for the servants to make tea, he poured the hot water directly into the big bowl. As the boiling water entered his stomach, he felt like he was alive again.
The Fourth Master couldn't help but look at Wen Jiu. He saw her blowing for a long time before she took a sip of the water. She seemed to be in a hurry to drink it, so she kept blowing, with her whole face buried in the tea bowl.
She looked like a spoiled cat abandoned on the street, and I inexplicably felt as if she had been wronged.
"The tea is almost here, why are you in such a hurry?"
Wenjiu held the hot bowl in both hands and looked up at the Fourth Master: "Plain water is also good, as long as it is given by the Master."
[Awesome, really awesome.] Xiao Jin saw the two more hearts and couldn't help but come out of the space and give Wenjiu a thumbs up.
The Fourth Master frowned slightly as he looked at Wenjiu, who was holding a bowl of water and smiling foolishly.
Before they could say anything, they saw a row of young eunuchs coming towards them carrying various food ingredients and utensils.
Wen Jiu didn't even bother to drink the water, and put down the tea bowl: "Jiu'er, go make something for me to eat."
