Chapter 615: Fourth Master: He is also ranked fourth?
Tenth Master: "Ah? Fourth Brother? Can't he sell it himself? Why does he have to ask Fourth Sister-in-law? Besides, doesn't he forbid Fourth Sister-in-law from leaving the house without permission?"
Jiu Ye: "That's right. Looking at Fourth Brother's appearance, it doesn't seem likely. But Fourth Sister-in-law is a woman who never leaves the house. How could she possibly have so many high-grade medicinal herbs? This is very wrong."
After pondering for a long time, Jiu Ye suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I know! Could this medicinal herb be from the Emperor's father?"
The Tenth Master was even more puzzled: "Emperor Father??? What does this have to do with the Emperor Father?"
"Fool," the Ninth Master said, "Think about it, didn't the Emperor give the Fourth Sister-in-law two men? Both Gui Mama and Li Dequan have served under the Fourth Sister-in-law. If it wasn't a serious matter, how could it be possible?"
Tenth Master: "But, the Emperor isn't short of money, is he?"
"You're stupid! Who would complain about having too much silver? If the Emperor doesn't need it, then so does the national treasury?" Jiu Ye's tone became increasingly firm as he added, "Do you remember, Little Fourteen said that when the Emperor was on his southern tour, he gave Little Fourth Sister-in-law some silver, saying he wanted her to help him with his business?"
The Tenth Master was taken aback by the shock: "So it's true."
Jiu Ye nodded: "That must be it. Doesn't the Emperor have a piece of land that no one is allowed to visit on weekdays? Who knows when he will find something good there."
Tenth Master: "So, by following Little Fourth Sister-in-law, we are actually helping the Emperor?"
Jiu Ye nodded: "Well, no wonder the fourth sister-in-law said that this money was her pass-through money. It seems that she will have to give the silver to the emperor in the end."
Tenth Master: "Tsk tsk, the Emperor is indeed very shrewd. He actually chose someone like Little Fourth Sister-in-law. No one else would have thought of this."
"Well, this matter still needs to be kept secret. We should all be more attentive in the future. Later, Little Fourth Sister-in-law might even say a few good words for us in front of the Emperor."
"Hahaha, then maybe we brothers can also be knighted!"
...
"Master, we've found the person."
In the carriage on the Fourth Master's way back, Heifeng presented a booklet and replied, "This servant has received information about the Fourth Young Master of the Luo Family. This Fourth Young Master is twenty-two years old this year and is the fourth child in the family. He usually goes out with two brothers, known as the Ninth Young Master and the Tenth Young Master.
The Fourth Young Master Luo has been a huge hit in the capital lately. Not only our Western Region Snow Lotus, but also the thousand-year-old Ganoderma Lucidum and the thousand-year-old ginseng are all his creations. Rumor has it that the Luo family is a renowned family of traditional Chinese medicine, and that the Fourth Young Master Luo possesses unparalleled medical skills, capable of bringing the dead back to life. He even cured the now-dead old lady of the Xu family, the capital's premier embroidery shop.
"A miracle doctor? Have you found out the truth? But are you really capable?" The Fourth Master had an idea. This man was able to produce the Snow Lotus from the Western Regions. If he really had excellent medical skills, perhaps he could take a look at Honghui's body.
"It's just a rumor. No one has ever seen this Fourth Young Master treat anyone in person."
The Fourth Master took another careful look at the booklet and suddenly smiled: "Oh, what a coincidence! He is also the fourth child, about the same age as me, and he has quite a few brothers in his family."
"That's right," Heifeng nodded. "I was also shocked when I saw him. I also heard that this Fourth Young Master Luo is very handsome and charming. When he walks on the street, women blush and men stop in their tracks. He is truly a handsome man who can rival Pan An in appearance. I believe that when he walks on the street, he will receive all kinds of sachets, just like you..."
Heifeng was halfway through his words when he noticed his master looking at him indifferently. He was so scared that he immediately shut his mouth.
The Fourth Master shook his head and laughed absentmindedly, "The rumors are getting more and more ridiculous."
The Fourth Master didn't take it seriously at all. People even said that the eldest brother was incredibly handsome, the second brother had a natural look of a king, the third brother was a brilliant writer, he loved his wife dearly, and the fifth brother was the reincarnation of a living Buddha...
"Master, the rumors are getting more and more intense, describing the fourth young master's appearance as truly extraordinary. They also say that Miss Qingle, the top courtesan, has spread the word that this fourth young master has joined her without asking for a penny. I wonder how handsome he really is. I haven't even been able to see his face yet."
The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows: "Have you found out where he lives?"
Hei Feng shook his head. "This Fourth Young Master is so elusive. I've been waiting for him for so long but haven't been able to find any trace of him. It's like he suddenly appears in the capital and disappears just as suddenly."
The Fourth Master frowned slightly. "Have you investigated the Luo Xing merchant? Is he involved with medicinal herbs?"
Hei Feng shook his head slightly: "In the entire capital, there is no Luo family member who can match this number. I have also searched all the medical families, but still can't find any family with so many sons, nor any family that can bring out the Western Region Snow Lotus.
I suspect it's a merchant from out of town entering the capital. I went to the city gate to check the records for the past two months, but I haven't found anyone like him among the merchants coming and going. This is strange."
The Fourth Master frowned slightly. "Besides going to the Raindrop Chamber of Commerce Auction House, where else has this Fourth Young Master Luo been?"
Heifeng shook his head, remembering something, and continued, "Master, some people say that Mr. Luo Si was recently seen at the door of that now-popular Old Sweetheart Pastry Shop. How about I send someone to guard it?"
The Fourth Master nodded and said, "The Raindrop Chamber of Commerce is also on duty. If you see anyone, please come and sit down. Please don't let me down."
Heifeng nodded immediately: "Yes!"
"Master, we're here."
As he was speaking, he noticed that the carriage had stopped.
The Fourth Master returned home and strode towards the courtyard where he was warming the wine.
"Didn't Princess Wulanzhu come to see you today?"
From a distance, he saw Wenjiu and a few children laughing and playing in the pavilion outside. The Fourth Master subconsciously walked over and sat on the blanket with them.
“Ahh!”
"Ama!"
“Ahh!”
As soon as they saw the Fourth Master, before Wenjiu could say anything, the little ones ran to him and stretched out their hands.
The Fourth Master picked up Dabao and Sibao, who were the most cheerful ones, and turned to warm the wine and muttered, "Dabao has learned to say 'Ama', but why is Sibao still saying 'Aa' every day?"
Wen Jiu held his third son in his arms and said, "It's all right to call him Ah Ah. Sanbao doesn't even talk yet. And Erbao, look at him, he can even fall asleep outside!"
Wen Jiu couldn't help but laugh, then turned around and said, "Ulanzhu Gege is at home today, thinking about preparing a wedding gift for Master Jiu, so she didn't come over."
The Fourth Master nodded, handed the child to the wet nurse, and took Sanbao from Wenjiu's hand, saying, "It's too heavy. Let me hold it."
Glancing at the somewhat listless Wenjiu, the Fourth Master thought for a moment and said, "I've been too busy lately and don't have the time to look after you. Jiu'er, if you feel bored, you can go to the palace and talk to the Crown Princess or my mother, the Empress Dowager."
Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then immediately waved his hands: "No, no, I'm not bored. It's good to be at home with the kids."
During the day, she has to take care of a lot of things in the mansion. She needs to take care of the children, serve the Fourth Master at night, and find time to practice dancing. She also cannot neglect the planting in the space, and she also needs to earn money. She also has to worry about the Zuixianlou and the snack shop. She is spinning like a top all day long. How can she have time to go to the palace?
"There's no need to watch over them all day." The Fourth Master touched Wenjiu's face with some distress: "You've lost weight in the past two days."
"You've lost weight!" Dabao muttered along with the Fourth Master.
"Stinky! Stinky!" Sibao said this after holding it in for a long time.
"Uh-huh!" Sanbao was in the Fourth Master's arms, but he directly reached out his hand to Wenjiu: "Hug!"
Wenjiu subconsciously took his son over, and Sanbao immediately hugged his mother's neck.
“Uh huh!”
Seeing Sanbao being held by his mother, they stirred up a hornet's nest. Dabao and Sibao were all unhappy and struggled to get closer to Wenjiu.
The Fourth Master looked at them, feeling very puzzled. He said, "It's really strange. Jiu'er, you're with them every day, and they don't even get tired of you. They stick to you like this every day. If you don't know them, you'd think you haven't seen them for a long time."
