Chapter 6: Fourth Master: Stupid Servant!
After hearing this, Aunt Wen's smile became more sincere: "What are you talking about, Grandpa? It's a blessing for our Wen family that Prince Baylor cares about Wen Jiu. I can't be happier.
Besides, I'm out on an errand for the Empress, so I dare not wander around."
Su Peisheng smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits: "Aunt, you are sensible. From now on, we are all family. On the Empress' side, please say a few good words for our Prince."
In the past, Su Peisheng would not have dared to say this.
But now, he really treats this aunt as his own.
After all, he has already acknowledged Wenjiu as his sister.
The Wen family has always been very fond of Wen Jiu, caring about the Fourth Master's affairs and helping Wen Jiu's sister.
Besides, the relationship between the Master and Empress Defei has been very strained for so many years, and it cannot continue like this.
The master has a tough temper, but these servants always have to maneuver around.
Aunt Wen smiled and said, "That's natural."
Then she sighed slowly.
Su Peisheng asked: "Aunt, do you have any unspeakable secrets?"
Aunt Wen frowned and said, "Wen Jiu is a straightforward girl. With her temper, I'm really worried that she will suffer."
Even though Su Peisheng now feels that the Wen family is his own family, he still can't help but feel resentful in his heart.
Can the people of the Wen family still suffer losses?
Wenjiu was just a maid before, but she was an arrogant and domineering maid. She was lucky enough not to let others suffer any loss!
But after careful consideration, he still pretended to be profound and said to Aunt Wen: "Miss Wenjiu is smart and blessed."
Thinking about how the Fourth Master was thinking about Miss Wenjiu just now, Su Peisheng gave Aunt Wen a look that could only be understood but not expressed in words.
Aunt Wen was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Su Peisheng meant. However, she immediately stuffed a purse into Su Peisheng's hand and said, "After all, she is younger. Please take care of her more, father-in-law. That girl has always been extravagant."
Su Peisheng felt quite depressed after hearing what Aunt Wen said.
Otherwise, how can we say that the Wen family is smart?
You have to savor that sentence carefully.
If a person is confused, he would think that this silver is for himself.
People say that Wenjiu is extravagant, which means that she doesn't have enough money to spend.
He is a big shot in front of Concubine De, and even her own master cannot offend him easily, let alone herself.
Besides, Su Peisheng had no intention of offending anyone. The better the Wen family treated Wen Jiu's sister, the better it would be for him.
At that moment, he took it in a good mood and patted his chest to assure: "Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely bring it to Miss Wen."
Aunt Wen was very surprised. Su Peisheng seemed to be particularly enthusiastic today, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Her face showed no sign of it, and she said quite sincerely, "With a clever man like the eunuch by the Fourth Master's side, I think the Empress is quite relieved." Then she said casually, "The Empress has been talking about wanting to meet the girl Wen Jiu. The Fourth Master loves the girl so much, I wonder if he will bring her into the palace before the New Year?"
Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled: "The person your majesty likes, our prince also likes him very much.
However, we dare not speculate on the master's intentions." Although the master still cared about the wine-warming girl, he was not sure whether the master would bring her into the palace.
Aunt Wen slapped herself on the mouth lightly: "Look at me, I can't even control my mouth."
Then he said, "Sir, please send me here. The carriage is just ahead."
Su Peisheng lowered his posture and said, "Aunt, please slow down and be careful on the road."
Then he walked back with the silver in a good mood.
As soon as Aunt Wen got on the carriage, the smile on her face was replaced by worry.
Will the Fourth Prince feel sorry for the warm wine?
Even she wouldn't believe it.
The discord between Concubine De and the Fourth Master has been going on for a long time.
The Wen family had always been the Empress's loyal servants. Wen Jiu was the Empress's spy in front of the Fourth Master.
From the age of eight, she was sent to take care of the ten-year-old Fourth Master, with the idea of making her the Fourth Master's confidant.
The Empress has mentioned this matter many times, intentionally or unintentionally, but the Fourth Master always remains silent.
How could it be possible that I like him?
It would be fine if that girl was loyal to the Empress, but her heart and eyes are filled with the Fourth Master.
Over the years, she has ignored the Empress's instructions and is only interested in winning the Fourth Master's heart.
In recent years, our family has been thriving.
I have gained some face in front of Concubine De, and my younger brother is now the head chef in the imperial kitchen.
Her elder brother had even made a name for himself in the Imperial Household Department. As her elder brother's only daughter, Wenjiu was even more ambitious than the other noble ladies from aristocratic families.
But she is a person who cares a lot about her reputation, so it is probably impossible for her to do those seductive and flattering things.
How can such a person be liked by men?
Silly girl, you have to endure the rest of your life.
Su Peisheng went back and told the Fourth Master what they had just talked about. He also accepted the bag of silver. Of course, he also concealed the fact that he had revealed Wenjiu's current situation.
The Fourth Master sat at the top, his eyes fixed on the painting "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie", as if he didn't hear what Su Peisheng said.
At this moment, a eunuch outside the door whispered back, "Master, the wife sent someone to say that the gifts brought into the palace for the New Year are ready, and they would like you to come over and take a look."
Su Peisheng was a little confused about what his master was thinking. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the Fourth Master carefully.
The Fourth Master didn't say anything. He just put down the note in his hand and asked impatiently, "Why haven't you brought back the warm wine yet?"
Su Peisheng said carefully: "The Qingliang Pavilion is a bit far from the front yard. I'm afraid it will take some time on the way."
The Fourth Master glanced at him and walked out the door.
It was the middle of winter, and heavy snow had covered most of the green tiles and red walls. The young eunuchs braved the snow to clear the way. When they saw their master, they knelt down hurriedly, and after the Fourth Master passed by, they stood up again and continued to fight the snow.
Su Peisheng was trotting behind the Fourth Master to hold his umbrella. Finally, he couldn't help but said, "Master, should I give this silver to Miss Wen?"
If it were someone else, Su Peisheng wouldn't be bothered.
But the Wen family's sister is currently being cherished by the master, so it's more appropriate to ask. After all, the master shouldn't refuse, right?
You're still thinking about me when you woke up early today. You wouldn't not even give me a little money, right?
The Fourth Master suddenly stopped in his tracks, and Su Peisheng bumped into him, knocking him back several steps.
He was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud.
The Fourth Master frowned, "Foolish servant."
Su Peisheng: "I deserve to die, I was so reckless!" It was winter, but he still broke into a sweat.
Fourth Master: "You have to ask me about these things. You are doing your job better and better!"
After saying this, the Fourth Master turned around and left.
