Chapter 78 Is there any woman who doesn’t like jade jewelry?
When Wenjiu heard this, she shook her head like a rattle. With so many people around her, how could she put the things she bought into the space?
"I can really just go by myself."
"No." The Fourth Master's tone was firm this time, and it was obvious that there was no room for negotiation.
Wen Jiu had no choice but to agree. He stood up and tried to get off the carriage, but was held down by the Fourth Master. The next second, he saw the Fourth Master jump down the carriageway and said, "It's OK as long as Xiao Xizi follows me. You drive the carriage."
"Master, how can this be possible?" Su Peisheng was shocked.
The Fourth Master waved his hand and said, "Seventh Master's residence is just two steps ahead. Be careful and take good care of her."
After giving these instructions, the Fourth Master turned around and left.
The Seventh Master had been waiting at the door long ago, observing all of the Fourth Master's actions. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Fourth Brother, who is sitting in the carriage? How could they ask you to give up the carriage?"
The Fourth Master waved his hand: "Just an ignorant little girl."
Then he patted Qi Ye's shoulder and said, "It's so cold, and you're standing outside waiting. How are you? Is your leg feeling better?"
The Seventh Master looked curiously at the carriage that was gradually moving away. He rarely saw his fourth brother mention a woman with a smile in his eyes, and he didn't know who she was.
But in the end, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he smiled and replied to the Fourth Master: "Don't worry, Fourth Brother, I'm much better."
The Fourth Master patted the Seventh Master on the shoulder and said, "That's good. The Emperor has given the order, and I will be heading to Jinyang tomorrow. I think you should know that, right?"
The Seventh Master nodded coldly, "That's a good thing. If it's delayed for too long, it might just lead to trouble."
The Fourth Master nodded and said, "Let's go and talk in the study."
After the two brothers entered the study, the Seventh Master took two memorials to the Fourth Master and said, "These are documents that the spies we sent out recently secretly brought back. The situation in Shanxi is far worse than we imagined. Heavy snow has blocked the roads for more than ten days. The price of grain has skyrocketed. The people who are lucky enough to survive have no place to live and cannot afford to buy food.
I heard that many people were starving and cold, and had already started looting and chaos."
The Fourth Master took the document and read it carefully. His expression was terribly cold. "Good, very good. Big Brother really dares to use anyone."
The Seventh Master frowned deeply, "Fourth Brother, be careful this time. Bring as many guards as possible with you. I have a feeling this mission will not be peaceful."
The Fourth Master nodded: "Don't worry."
The two of them sat in the study for about two quarters of an hour before the Fourth Master stood up.
Before leaving, he also reminded the Seventh Master: "I will not be in the capital these days. If you have any problems, you can go find the prince."
The Seventh Master nodded and said, "Fourth Brother, you must be careful on this trip. Don't worry about the affairs at home, I will take care of them. If there is anything important, I will let you know by letter."
The Fourth Master nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and walked out.
There was still no one outside the door. The Seventh Master suddenly smiled and said, "Fourth Brother, it seems that the young lady hasn't come back yet."
Then he ordered the servants around him: "Go and get two horses."
"Brother, you'd better ride your horse. Otherwise, we don't know when we'll get there."
The Fourth Master did not refuse, but just smiled and nodded.
After this, the tense atmosphere eased a little.
The two brothers stood at the door and chatted for a while until the servants brought the horses over.
"Go back, I'm leaving."
The Fourth Master and the Seventh Master waved their hands, went out and headed straight for the most prosperous street in the city.
After searching for a while, he didn't find his carriage. In the end, he found the warm wine at the door of the rice store.
The Fourth Master had a rather strange look on his face. He did not go directly into the store. Instead, he went outside the store and stood in front of Su Peisheng who was guarding the carriage.
"Why is she here?"
Su Peisheng spotted the Fourth Master from a distance, and after bowing, he immediately replied, "My lord, the young lady said that her clothes and jewelry were boring and she wanted to see something new.
Today I not only went to the rice store, but also went to the kitchenware store over there.
Oh, by the way, the girl is also quite interested in farm tools and has been wandering around the store for quite a while."
"Farm tools? The fourth master glanced at the people outside the grain store who were walking back and forth, enjoying the wine. His expression became more and more strange.
As for Wenjiu, he had almost finished buying everything, except for the large beds, cabinets and other items, which he couldn't buy today.
These rice bags are small, and no one will care if you buy some and hold them in your hands. Just tell the boss that you have put them in the car, tell Su Peisheng that you bought less, and then secretly put them into the space.
But Wenjiu was not confident that he could take away that big item under everyone's noses.
When she came out of the rice shop, she was also holding a few small oil-paper bags in her hands. When she saw the Fourth Master, she ran over and said with a smile, "Look, Master, I bought a lot of seasonings."
The Fourth Master glanced at the thing in her hand, took it and examined it carefully: "Is this the thing you said you had to buy for your daughter?"
Wenjiu nodded: "Well, that's all, I've bought almost everything."
In the carriage, the Fourth Master glanced at the corner and found that he had bought quite a few things.
There were just a few small bags scattered in the corner, and a basin next to it. Inside the copper basin were pots, bowls, rice spoons and other things.
The Fourth Master looked at Wenjiu, then at the pile of things. He felt that there was no way to connect Wenjiu's face with these things.
"Don't you have any at home? Do you really need to go out and buy some?"
Wen Jiu was sorting her bags with her head down, and when she heard this she smiled and said, "Of course there are some in the mansion, but the things in the mansion are all limited, they are not mine.
If I ask the kitchen for wine, I might have to pay a tip, so it’s better to go out and buy it. Look at this pot, it only cost twenty coins.”
The Fourth Master's brows were knitted into a knot. After a long pause, he managed to utter, "There's a jade and jewelry store next door. Do you want to go take a look?"
Wen Jiu glanced out the window and said, "I don't lack any of these wines for the time being, and I don't lack any jewelry for wine. I'll come back and have a look when I have a chance."
"You don't have to think too much. If you want to see it, I can accompany you to see it." The Fourth Master always felt that it was a bit shabby to take her out shopping and end up buying only these things.
But Wenjiu still shook her head: "No." She was exhausted after a long day, and she was not in the mood to go shopping. She just wanted to sleep.
The Fourth Master didn't say anything else, but his eyes would fall on Wen Jiu from time to time, as if he wanted to open a hole in her head to see what was inside.
After returning to the front yard, the Fourth Master asked Wen Jiu to go back. Looking at her back, the Fourth Master frowned slightly and asked Su Peisheng: "Do you think there are really women in this world who don't like jade and jewelry?"
