Chapter 649: Warming the Wine: Suddenly I have a father!
She didn't dare confront the big man in front of her, so she quickly took off her face mask. She just hoped that she wouldn't run into anyone she knew.
"Your Majesty, it's still snowing outside. Why don't you get on the carriage first? The dragon's health is more important." Wen Jiu thought about it and decided that it would be safer to get on the carriage.
Emperor Kangxi was in a good mood and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's rare for you to come out for a walk, just come along for a few steps."
Then, he frowned and said, "Be smarter. Don't call me Your Majesty outside."
Warming wine: “…Yes.”
Then, a scene appeared before my eyes.
An elegant master from a wealthy family was strolling leisurely in the snow, with the servant beside him carefully holding an umbrella to protect him, looking very comfortable.
There was a handsome young man following behind him. The young man looked a little miserable. He was holding a candied haws grass handle that was a few inches taller than him and followed closely behind him.
Wenjiu couldn't help but roll his eyes in resentment. Was this old man doing it on purpose?
"Master, just take it. Can't you lift such a small amount?"
Wen Jiu rolled his eyes: "Is this a matter of whether you can move it or not? With your master's current cultivation level, ten of them wouldn't even breathe hard. This is what I'm talking about!
There were so many guards behind him, but he didn't even ask anyone to help. He just said it was inappropriate for a woman to go out, so how can it be appropriate for a woman to walk with a huge bundle of grass on her back? "
【......】
[Master...actually, you carrying a large bundle of grass doesn't look out of place at all.]
Wenjiu gritted his teeth: "Hey, how can you talk like that? No matter who sees me, I'm just a delicate and weak little woman!"
【......】
"Hey, what's with that expression?" Wenjiu gritted his teeth. "Believe it or not, I'll braise you tonight!"
Xiao Jin: "...Master, you should look behind you again."
Wenjiu suddenly had a bad premonition and turned around. Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure.
Wenjiu was startled and quickly covered his face.
Silently chanting in my heart: I can’t see, ......
"Hey? Fourth Young Master! I didn't expect to see you here!"
Warming the wine: "..."
When a person is really unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in his teeth.
Up ahead, Elder Meng approached with a look of surprise on his face. "It really is the Fourth Young Master. I took a peek from afar and thought I was seeing things. Fourth Young Master, it's been a while since you've been to our Chamber of Commerce."
“You, you, you… you’ve got the wrong person…” Why do all these old gentlemen look so kind?
The point is, if you thought you were seeing things, why did you come over to say hello?
"Fourth Young Master, please stop joking." Elder Meng looked over with a smile. "How could I not recognize you? With your looks and demeanor, no one on the street can compare to you. You're rare even in the entire capital."
After saying this, Mr. Meng glanced at Emperor Kangxi beside him again, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Having been dealing with dignitaries for years, he had also learned a little about judging people. The gentleman before him must be a high-ranking official. This man must also be a powerful figure. Just by looking at each other, Elder Meng felt his knees weaken and he almost fell to his knees.
"Fourth Young Master, who is this...?"
Wenjiu was completely stunned. Why didn't she check the solar calendar before going out today?
My mind was racing at the moment, thinking about how to get away with it.
But then he heard Emperor Kangxi say, "I am her...father."
As he spoke, Emperor Kangxi's sinister eyes fell on Wenjiu again.
Wenjiu swallowed hard and nodded dryly: "Mr. Meng, this is... my father..."
Just... suddenly I have a father.
"Oh, it's Master Luo!" Elder Meng suddenly realized, and said, "I was wondering what kind of person could raise such an outstanding Fourth Young Master. Now that I've met him, I finally understand why. Master Luo, your demeanor is truly unprecedented in my life."
What Mr. Meng said was the truth. He was amazed in his heart. He thought that the young masters were already noble, but he never thought that Mr. Luo would be an even more outstanding person.
Emperor Kangxi listened, glanced at the quail-filled warm wine, then glanced at Elder Meng, and suddenly smiled. He said affably, "My son is young. Could you please take care of him, old gentleman?"
"No, no, no." Elder Meng heard this and waved his hands repeatedly: "What are you talking about, Master Luo? It is my honor to meet the Fourth Young Master. If you want to talk about taking care of me, it should be the Fourth Young Master who should take care of me. Speaking of which, I want to thank the Fourth Young Master and choose to let me auction that rare medicine..."
"Mr. Meng!" Wen Jiu felt something was wrong the more he listened, and immediately interrupted, "Um, what are you doing out today?"
Elder Meng was startled for a moment, then smiled at Wen Jiu and said, "I just came out of the store after choosing some birthday gifts for my grandson. I was just thinking of going back to the Chamber of Commerce to attend the auction tonight, but I didn't expect to run into Mr. Luo and the Fourth Young Master. If you two are free, why not go together?"
"no!"
"Okay."
At this time, Wenjiu and Emperor Kangxi spoke at the same time, but their meanings were completely opposite.
Wen Jiu originally wanted to offer some advice, but seeing the sinister look in Emperor Kangxi's eyes, he immediately shut up.
Emperor Kangxi gave her a warning look, then turned around and put on a gentle and amiable demeanor, smiling broadly as he said, "Old sir, my son and I have a rare moment of free time, so we decided to go take a look. Actually, I've never properly attended an auction, so I'm sorry to bother you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Meng beside him laughed again, "What do you mean by disturbing or not? It is an honor for me that Master Luo and the Fourth Young Master can come here.
Since Mr. Luo hasn't taken a close look at the auction, I and the Fourth Young Master will take you around a bit later. The Fourth Young Master is a frequent visitor to our Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh?" Emperor Kangxi suddenly raised his eyebrows, shifted his gaze to Wen Jiu, and said with a forced smile, "A regular customer..."
Wen Jiu: "...Uh, Emperor...Father, I go there too often."
Emperor Kangxi: "Haha, what's the big deal? I'm just out to buy some candied haws and stop by the Chamber of Commerce, right?"
Warming the wine: "..."
Help! Today seems to be ruined!
"Does the Fourth Young Master really love eating candied haws? How could he buy so many at once?" Elder Meng felt that there was something amiss between the father and son, but he didn't think too much about it. He just smiled and said, "Hurry up and help the Fourth Young Master take some. This is so much, it must be quite a lot."
"Yes." The servant beside Mr. Meng responded and immediately wanted to answer it.
"No need," Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and said to Mr. Meng with a smile, "Old sir, you don't know, my son has this habit. He only feels comfortable when he is held. Isn't that right, son?"
