Chapter 673: Fourth Master: Spend as You Like
The Fourth Master sent the two cross-eyed adults directly to the Emperor's father before heading back.
After entering Qingliang Pavilion, I saw Su Peisheng and others there from afar.
"Master, you are back."
The Fourth Master nodded: "How is Honghui?"
Su Peisheng said, "Master, please rest assured. The eldest prince is no longer seriously injured. The wounds on his body are only superficial, and no bones have been broken. He just doesn't look very energetic at the moment."
The Fourth Master nodded: "How is he... feeling?"
Su Peisheng sighed and hung his head: "Master, since I came here to serve you, the eldest prince has only said a word of thanks to the concubine from beginning to end, and has never said a word since then. He is also listless.
The court doctor also said that it would be bad for the eldest prince to worry about his heart disease.
The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and said, "Give orders that no one around Ulanara is allowed to get close to Honghui."
As he spoke, he frowned and asked, "Where does Honghui live?"
Su Peisheng immediately took the Fourth Master to the east wing and said in a low voice, "Master, the eldest prince lives in this room, but he just went to bed."
The Fourth Master went to the east wing to take a look. Seeing that his son was still sleeping, he did not disturb him. He asked the people around him to take good care of him and then turned to the main hall.
The Fourth Master walked into the house with a frown on his face and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.
He rolled up his sleeves and went to wash his face. Just when he was about to touch the face towel, he felt one being handed to him.
The Fourth Master took it without a second thought, and while wiping his face, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is your master asleep?"
"No."
The Fourth Master paused, turned around in a daze, and met the little face of Wen Jiu.
At this moment, she was blinking her big eyes and grinning at herself.
The Fourth Master let out a breath, and said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "You scared me. What are you looking at? Don't you recognize me?"
Wenjiu was still smiling and silent, and the Fourth Master silently put the face towel on the rack.
He touched his nose and said, "Are you angry? I didn't deliberately give Honghui to you to take care of. I just happened to be busy and couldn't get away."
"It's not about Honghui." Wenjiu said, "I want to tell you something very important."
There was a hint of confusion in the Fourth Master's narrow eyes: "Hmm?"
Wen Jiu frowned and said, "Master, I need to go out tomorrow."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air fell silent for a moment.
The fourth master was stunned for a moment, then he reached into his sleeve and felt around his waist. After a while, he took out a purse and stuffed it directly into Wenjiu's hand.
He frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and reached out to Su Peisheng beside him.
Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and immediately handed over his purse with both hands.
"No words."
The Fourth Master took the purse from Su Peisheng's hand and weighed it.
As soon as he finished speaking, two people came in from the half-open door, speaking nothing and with their necks hunched.
The Fourth Master glanced over with a light gaze and extended his hand.
The two of them looked at each other, and finally did the same as Su Peisheng. They took out the purse from their arms and gave it to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master took the purse and waved to the others, "Everyone, get out."
When a few people reluctantly went out, they saw their master counting silver in his purse.
"...Nineteen thousand, twenty thousand." The Fourth Master counted the silver bills he had received and stuffed the small change back into his purse.
Then, he stuffed them all into Wenjiu's hands.
"Here, take it and spend it as you please."
Warming the wine: "..."
[Pfft, hahahahahahaha… I’m dying of laughter. Twenty thousand taels of silver for the master to spend as he pleases…]
Hahahaha, he's asking for 1 million taels of silver for a low-grade spirit stone. I'm really curious what he'll do when he finds out... Hahaha... Hiccup.]
Wenjiu gave Xiaojin a cold look, saying what a heartless person he was.
Facing the serious face of the Fourth Master, Wen Jiu couldn't help but rub his brows: "Master... I don't really want to buy anything, I just want to make more money..."
"Are you short of money?" The Fourth Master glanced at the warm wine, pondered for a moment, and said, "I will have some money coming in after the New Year. Wait a little longer. When the money comes back, I will give it all to you."
Warming the wine: "..."
"No, I'm not short of money." Wen Jiu said, "Isn't it that I have business matters? Besides, I want to make more money. Can we complain about having too much money?"
Fourth Master: "It's always easier for me to make money than for you. How much money can you save after running around all day? You are my concubine, why should you worry about these things? Be good and stop making trouble."
Wen Jiu: "...Master, if I say that I can make a lot of silver in a day, even hundreds of thousands or millions of taels, would you believe it?"
The Fourth Master looked at the little face that was still steaming from the wine, and suddenly smiled. He poked her cheek and said, "I believe you. I believe everything you say. My wine is really different from others."
As he spoke, he sat down with a glass of warm wine. "Didn't you say you didn't eat too much? Come, I just got some side dishes from the kitchen. Come and have some."
Warming the wine: "..."
Do you think you are a three-year-old child?
But when he saw the fish meat that the Fourth Master fed to his mouth, Wenjiu finally opened his mouth and ate it silently.
His eyes rolled and he hugged the Fourth Master's arm: "Master, this money must be earned! Jiu'er must go out tomorrow!"
Seeing the Fourth Master's narrow, sword-like eyes wrinkle slightly, Wenjiu immediately hugged his arm and shook it vigorously: "Master, please, please! Just let Jiuer go out for a while, isn't it okay for Jiuer to take a stroll? I'm getting bored staying in the mansion."
As he spoke, he tugged at the Fourth Master's sleeve and shook it vigorously, saying in a pinched voice, "Master, please do it! Please do it!"
【Ugh... Master... Be normal! 】
Wen Jiu rolled his eyes: "What do you know, you stinky fish? Men all like women who can act coquettishly, understand?"
Fourth Master: "...Jiu'er, be normal."
Warming the wine: "..."
Hahahahahahaha…
[Ouch, it hurts so much! Master, why are you still using a secret trick?]
Wenjiu threw Xiaojin into the space like a ball, and only after seeing it fall flat on its butt did he feel relieved.
Coming back to his senses, he stared at the Fourth Master with wide eyes again.
The Fourth Master touched his nose and coughed lightly: "I agree."
Wenjiu let out a sigh. This was pretty good. It was worth her acting so coquettishly.
"Master, you are so kind."
The Fourth Master froze, lowered his head to glance at the warm wine, and after a while he said, "How about... I ask the imperial physician to take a look at you?"
Wen Jiu, who was originally smiling sweetly, froze: "...Hmm?"
The Fourth Master said seriously, "Are you feeling unwell? A couple of days ago, Datou felt unwell in his stomach and rolled around on the ground, making the same sound as yours."
Warming the wine: "..."
