Chapter 794 The Fourth Master is in Charge
The Fourth Master had a good sleep after a long time.
After getting up in the morning, I subconsciously moved my shoulders and neck, then got up quietly.
After getting up, the Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked to the side, only then did he realize that there was no one beside him: "Where is the person?"
He lifted the curtain and took a look outside. The Fourth Master frowned slightly.
"Master, are you awake?" Su Peisheng's voice came from outside.
The Fourth Master pulled aside the curtain and asked with a frown, "Where's the wine?"
Su Peisheng blinked and immediately smiled and said, "Master, Concubine Jin left early this morning. When she got up this morning, she asked me to tell you that she and Master Jiu are busy together. She said that you should take this opportunity to have a good rest."
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he suddenly remembered that the Emperor had previously given Jiu'er and Laojiu the power to promote trade on the grasslands. Speaking of which, Jiu'er probably never had a free day.
He nodded immediately, indicating that he understood. Then he asked, "What about the children? When will they start? I'll be home all day today. If you have anything, just bring it to me."
The Fourth Master originally thought that since he might not have any official business to do in the next few days, he would help Jiu'er deal with her daily trivial matters.
When Jiuer comes back in the evening, I can have some free time.
It was just what he thought, but when he actually did it, the Fourth Master was completely stunned.
"Master, the four young princes have been studying for an hour and a half, and their breakfast has already been finished.
Concubine Jin usually gave them some fruit at this time, and there were five or six kinds of fruit: grapes, strawberries, lychees, peaches, apples, oranges, everything was indispensable.
Then, just take them to drink some milk.
Take a short break, there is a calligraphy class in the morning."
The Fourth Master was stunned when he heard this, and he looked like he was in a bad mood the whole day.
I just realized today that he is already overwhelmed with the children's affairs alone.
The children were to take a nap at a fixed time during the afternoon, no longer than half an hour and no shorter than two-quarters of an hour. In the afternoon, when the servants escorted the children to the martial arts arena, they were to be provided with fresh shrimp and fish to replenish their energy.
Later in the day, I would play with the children again and ask them in detail about their gains that day, as well as their summary and opinions on the whole day.
If the children were to disobey him in the slightest, the Fourth Master would not be able to continue.
Fortunately, these guys didn't seem to be making things difficult for him. Instead, they were very caring towards him. The Fourth Master also cooperated with them when he spoke.
The Fourth Master finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the evening, I sat down on the chair, and before I could catch my breath, I realized it was time to do the accounting.
It was just one day, and there were so many small things happening, up and down, left and right, that the Fourth Master couldn't even count them all.
From small things like lamp oil to big things like kitchen purchases and travel expenses, all bills must be reviewed roughly to have a clear idea of what they are.
Although Mr. Wen's accounts were clear at a glance and much better looking than ordinary account books, the Fourth Master was still dizzy after looking through them for the first time.
After an hour of persevering, he finally finished cleaning up all these things. He couldn't help but rub his brows and asked, "Is Jiu'er always this tired every day?"
Liusu and Shanzha looked at each other, and then both shook their heads subconsciously.
The Fourth Master frowned slightly: "...What are you guys looking at?"
Shanzha laughed and said, "Your Highness, our concubine is used to doing this. It takes less than a quarter of an hour to go through these account books."
"That's right." Liusu nodded. "On weekdays, the Concubine usually reviews the homework of the young masters at this time of the day. From the morning's essays and calligraphy to their boxing and kicking exercises and the evening summaries, she reviews them again and makes some comments. She compares them with the previous day's homework to help the young masters improve faster."
Liusu carefully observed the Fourth Master's expression. She wondered what had gotten into the Prince today. He insisted on having them tell him everything he did every day, no matter how big or small. He even insisted on doing everything himself.
Normally, it seems very simple when the master does it, but it is a different story when the prince does it.
Seeing that the prince was busy all day and didn't even have a proper meal.
He then kindly reminded him, "Your Highness, you and the other young princes haven't had a good meal today. Is there anything you'd like to eat tonight? I'll have someone prepare it in the kitchen."
"No hurry, I'll finish reading this last bit." The fourth master said. He lowered his head and took the last bit of the booklet and started flipping through it.
Liusu took a look at the sky and finally ordered people to prepare.
However, just as Xiaodouzi went out to order the meal, Wenjiu rushed into the house, sweating profusely.
"Water! Bring me two bowls of cold tea!" Wenjiu rushed into the house, fanned himself, and said, "It's too hot today. I can hardly breathe. Looking at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain."
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment, and when he wanted to reach out to pour tea, he found that Shanzha had already brought over two large bowls of herbal tea.
Then he saw his little girl, who drank three bowls of wine in a row. She wiped her rosy lips and looked at him with a smile: "What are we having for dinner tonight? Do you have any cherry meat that I like? Bring some over quickly, I'm starving."
Siyan was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead with a slap: "This... I forgot!"
Suddenly I remembered that at noon, Jiuer took some time to come back, ate a bite of food, and then ran out. At that time, he also muttered to himself that he wanted to eat cherry meat in the evening.
The Fourth Master was so busy that he forgot to give instructions. Master, don't worry, I have remembered them. It's just that the meal will be served a little later.
Having said that, he immediately sent someone to rush to the kitchen to urge them to come.
"That's alright. Just bring whatever you have. I'm starving." Wen Jiu lazily leaned against the Fourth Master. "Master, how do you feel about staying at home today? Do you feel particularly free and don't know what to do?"
Fourth Master: "...It's my fault."
After saying that, he reached out to help Wenjiu tidy up her hair with a look of concern.
As he spoke, the Fourth Master suddenly remembered that after Jiu'er did so many things on weekdays, he still had time to instruct the kitchen to prepare some of his favorite meals.
"Master?" Wenjiu looked at the Fourth Master with a bit of confusion.
The Fourth Master just shook his head and said, "Well, nothing much." Then he smiled and asked, "How are you today?"
"Well, today went very smoothly." Wen Jiu said, smiling, "Ninth Master Meng and I have almost gone through all the places around you, including your residences and lifestyles, and have already made two preliminary plans. Master, I'm still a little undecided about this plan. Can you take a look at it for me later?"
The Fourth Master naturally did not respond, and while he was talking, he wanted to help warm the wine and look at the plan.
Fortunately, Wenjiu pulled him aside and smiled as he pulled them to sit down. "Let's talk after we finish our meal. Liusu Shanzha, hurry up and call them again, and ask them to come over quickly."
Just when I said it wasn't very loud, I heard a tapping sound after a while.
As expected, Dabao came running to Wenjiu with a small booklet in his hand: "Mother! Look! Dabao is angry!"
