Chapter 67: The Fourth Master: This is a day I’ve never seen before.
The Fourth Master frowned and said, "Then you can just dawdle slowly in the back. I'll go first."
Wen Jiu held onto his hand tightly and said, "Would you like to go together?"
The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes at her and said, "How dare you ask me to freeze outside with you?"
The servants led by Su Peisheng looked at Wen Jiu as if she were a warrior. This Miss Wen was really brave. How could she let her master wait?
Even if it was the wife of a wealthy woman, she wouldn't dare to do this, right?
I always feel that Miss Wen might be punished by her master for disrespect in the next second and dragged out to be beaten with a stick...
Wenjiu didn't care about anyone else at all. He just held the Fourth Master's hand tightly, borrowing some strength, and the road became easier to walk.
His mouth was not idle either, and he said very seriously: "No, it's not, I just remembered a legend I heard when I was young, and suddenly I wanted to try it with you."
The Fourth Master looked at Wenjiu who was being dragged away by him with a puzzled look on his face. How on earth could this woman be so shameless?
Wen Jiu continued, "It is said that if you take a hundred steady steps in the snow, without looking back or going astray, you can reach the future and see the person you will love most in the future."
As he spoke, Wenjiu counted as he walked: "One, two, three..."
The Fourth Master gave her a look of disdain: "You're just trying to fool a child, and you believe that."
Wenjiu ignored him and continued counting.
Seeing that she had counted to a hundred steps ahead, she suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at the Fourth Master who was not far away. "Master, were you counting just now?"
The Fourth Master frowned and asked, "Would I do such a stupid thing?"
The next second, Wen Jiu turned around on the ground with a look of joy on his face: "Wow, I really saw it. If I don't try it, I will be missing out."
"What did you see..." The fourth master was almost pinching a fly to death. Halfway through his words, he suddenly shook off Wenjiu's hand and said, "Wenjiu, I think you've lost your mind!"
Wenjiu didn't care much and continued to lead him: "Let's go for once, I'll help you count, one, two..."
"Master, don't walk so fast. Keep your steps even and walk straight."
"...Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred! Master, stop now and close your eyes!"
The Fourth Master looked at Wenjiu doubtfully, his frown still on his face.
Wen Jiu said seriously and sincerely: "Master, please close your eyes, just for a moment. I will count to three and you can open them. You will definitely see your future lover."
The Fourth Master finally closed his eyes.
"One, two, three! You can open your eyes now."
The Fourth Master, curious, slowly opened his eyes. What he saw was a face reddened by the cold of the warm wine. Her nose was still bleeding, and she was holding a handkerchief to stop it. It was an ugly sight.
Wen Jiu smiled mischievously and frowned at the Fourth Master twice: "How about it, Master, are you happy to see that the one I love most is the cute, kind, and cooking Little Jiu'er?"
Fourth Master: “…” He believed her lies!
"stupid!"
After saying this, the Fourth Master left without looking back.
Wen Jiu glanced at the heart that appeared above his head again and curled his lips.
Humph, a man who says one thing and means another.
"Good luck to Lord Beile!"
Inside Qingliang Pavilion, Xiaodouzi saw the Fourth Master coming and his face was full of disbelief.
Did someone really take the girl back from the concubine?
Nanny Song, Sun Dazhi and two young eunuchs were waiting in the kitchen. They were startled when they heard this and came out immediately. When they saw the Fourth Master from afar, they opened their mouths in shock and knelt down one after another, shouting "good luck".
The Fourth Master didn't stop for a moment and strode straight into the house.
The man behind him, Wen Jiu, whose nosebleed had stopped, smiled and said, "The food is still warm, right? Bring it up."
Nanny Song immediately responded, "Yes," and went to serve the meal happily, and Xiaodouzi followed to help.
Wen Jiu then looked at Sun Dazhi and said, "Sir, please help put the vermicelli and beef into the soup pot and cook more. You all can eat that later to warm your bodies."
Sun Dazhi smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed: "Hey, young lady, please hold it. I will take care of it for you."
Sun Dazhi's heart was almost beating out of his throat. Although the girl's status was not high, the fact that she was able to snatch her back from the hands of the concubine showed that she was in the master's heart and was incomparable to ordinary people.
Come to think of it, the young lady has been serving the master for ten years. How can anyone else compare to her?
He couldn't reach the other lady bosses even if he wanted to.
But Miss Wen is different. After all, she still has the kindness to help others in times of need, right?
Thinking of this, he rolled up his sleeves and ran to the kitchen, intending to use all his life's skills to cook this bowl of noodles.
Soon, the meal was served. The Fourth Master sat in the middle of the table. Wen Jiu stood beside him and poured him a large bowl of beef vermicelli soup and placed it in front of him: "Master, please drink a bowl of hot soup quickly to get rid of the cold."
Subconsciously, she sat down.
Seeing the servants around her looking at her in horror, Wenjiu realized what she had done and suddenly jumped up from the stool.
She forgot that she was a concubine and could not sit with the master.
The Fourth Master glanced at Wen Jiu and said unhappily, "Did the stool burn you?"
Wenjiu shook his head: "No..."
"If you don't have any, sit down." He glanced at the servant beside him impatiently and said, "Get out."
Soon, the Fourth Master and Wen Jiu were the only two people left in the room.
The Fourth Master generally preferred the taste of beef vermicelli. He slurped several mouthfuls of the vermicelli and drank a small dish of pickles with warm wine. The small bowl was empty in a short while, and he ate it with great relish.
Seeing him like this, Wenjiu didn't hesitate any longer and the first chopstick she took went for the salted egg yolk shrimp that she had been craving for. She ate several mouthfuls and felt so good.
The Fourth Master was waiting for Wenjiu to serve him vermicelli, but Wenjiu didn't react and just focused on eating.
The Fourth Master glared at them, and after looking at them, he inexplicably felt that the shrimps seemed delicious.
The shrimps were bigger than her mouth for warming wine, but she ate one in one bite. Her cheeks were bulging, her eyes were narrowed, and she looked very happy.
The Fourth Master originally didn't like things like shrimps and crabs, but the ones made by Wenjiu were rare and tasted particularly sweet. The Fourth Master couldn't help but pick one up with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"Don't mention it, it tastes really good."
It does not have the fishy smell of shrimp at all, but instead has a chewy texture and the unique, delicate fragrance of salted egg yolk, which is simply irresistible.
Having tasted the sweetness, the Fourth Master's chopsticks hardly stopped moving. He ate six or seven shrimps in one breath before stopping.
I turned around to look at Wenjiu and found that she had already started to eat the crabs.
To be honest, the Fourth Master has never seen a woman who doesn't care about her image while eating.
The women in front of him were almost invisible while they ate. Occasionally, his wife and concubine would accompany him to eat, but they would cover their mouths with their sleeves after taking a bite, so that even his teeth could not be seen.
This is the first time I've seen someone pinch the crab legs directly with their hands.
The fair little hands were covered with soup, and the Fourth Master turned his eyes away in disgust.
I don’t know why, but the Fourth Master always feels the fragrance of crab at the tip of his nose. He takes a deep breath and it is the unique fragrance of crab, mixed with strong garlic aroma.
The Fourth Master tried to hold back, but finally couldn't and picked up half a piece and put it on his plate.
He couldn't use his hands to warm the wine, so he had to eat it politely with chopsticks. However, the crab was very disobedient. When he bit into it, the meat was mixed with the soft shell, which wasted such a good taste.
