Chapter 868: Miserable! It’s so miserable.
The Thirteenth, Tenth and Fourteenth Masters beside him also looked over.
"Has Sister-in-law Shao Si cooked something delicious again?" Fourteen's eyes were shining.
Upon hearing this, the Tenth Master slapped his forehead in annoyance. "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have eaten so much. My fourth sister-in-law must have eaten well. She must have been thinking about it at the palace banquet just now."
"Master Zhu, our master has something to invite you all to his house today. I will prepare whatever you would like to eat when I get home." There were many things going on in the mansion today, and Miss Liusu thought he was a familiar face, so she sent someone out to look for him.
As soon as An Luhai said this, the Ninth Master and the Thirteenth Master looked at each other, and both saw deep meaning in each other's eyes.
"In that case, please lead the way." The Thirteenth Master's expression also became a little solemn.
Ninth Master followed closely behind, and waved to Tenth Master and Fourteenth Master behind him.
As he walked, Master Shi kept muttering, "What serious business could Little Fourth Sister-in-law have with us? Perhaps she wanted to know whether we want the crabs steamed or stir-fried?"
Fourteen: "Come here, take my deck of gold playing cards and go to Fourth Brother's house to play for a while."
After hearing what the two said, Jiu Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law must have something important to do while eating, so please stop making trouble."
Tenth Master: "...The last time Fourth Sister-in-law talked about serious matters, she asked us whether we wanted to eat the pelvic bones or the chopped pepper fish head..."
Jiu Ye: “…”
Thirteen: "Hurry up and get on the carriage. You both hate the cold. We'll know what's going on when we get there."
This statement successfully got everyone into the car.
They were chatting and laughing all the way, but when they arrived at the Fourth Master's residence and saw Liusu waiting anxiously at the door, they felt that the atmosphere was a little off.
"What's going on?" Thirteen quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Gentlemen, you are here! I have been waiting for you for a long time." Liusu bowed and said, "This is urgent. Gentlemen, please follow me in. I will explain everything to you on the way."
Jiu Ye and the other thirteen looked at each other, then quickly followed Liu Su into the yard.
Meanwhile, in the front hall.
Master Guangci also stood up.
"I have already finished my fourth cup of tea. Is Concubine too busy to attend to you today?"
Shanzha laughed and said, "Master, what are you talking about? Concubine Jin attaches great importance to meeting you and is preparing in her room right now."
Guangci frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. However, the little monk beside him blinked in confusion: "Her clothes are usually either black or white, she never picks and doesn't seem to mind getting dirty. Why did it take her so long to change today?"
Shanzha: "This... Master Pain's meeting is naturally different from that of others, and he needs to pay attention to his clothing."
Guangci put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I just have a few words to say to my wife. I am sorry to trouble you. But it is late today, so I cannot stay any longer. I will take my leave now."
"Master, I will send you off." Shanzha heaved a sigh of relief. His master had told him to be on guard against this man, and now that he was leaving, he could feel more at ease.
"I'm sorry to bother you, benefactor. I've noticed that the lake outside is very beautiful. I wonder if I could go to the pavilion and take a walk and get some fresh air."
"Master, it's winter now, and the lake is covered in ice. It's really not much to see. It's still cold outside, so you might as well wait a little longer. Our concubine will be able to come out to see you soon."
Shanzha thought that he couldn't let the master wander around in the yard.
Guangci smiled and nodded slightly: "I think I won't wait any longer. So I will take my disciple and leave first. I will visit you again another day."
After hearing this, Shanzha immediately stood up and signaled to the guards around him, and the group escorted Guangci out.
Guangci in front seemed not to see it, and just walked steadily towards the door.
Halfway through the journey, he suddenly stopped and looked towards the wing on the left.
Shanzha frowned slightly and stepped forward: "Master, what's going on?"
Guangci nodded and said, "Donor, are the young princes living in this room?"
Shanzha looked in the direction Guangci's hand was pointing, his heart skipping a beat. But he smiled and pointed to the right: "The young princes have been staying here. Master, it's cold outside, let's not delay any longer."
"Amitabha, speaking of which, His Majesty had earlier instructed me to help examine the bones of several young princes in the mansion. Now that the concubine is not available, could I ask to see these young princes?"
"Master...this..."
"It really is Master Guangci. So you've come to Fourth Brother's residence as well!"
Just when Shanzha didn't know how to make an excuse, he looked up and saw the Thirteenth Master.
"It turns out to be His Highness the Thirteenth."
"Master, there's no need to be so polite." Thirteen adjusted his sleeves, nodded to the master, and turned back to say, "Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, Fourteenth Brother, please hurry up, the master is here too."
Just as they approached, they heard Thirteenth Master say with a smile, "What a coincidence today! Ninth Brother just said he wanted to learn chess from the Master. He said that playing a game with you would be the best thing in his life. Ninth Brother, the Master is right here, you must seize the opportunity!"
Jiu Ye: “…”
"Yes, yes, yes, my ninth brother dreams of playing a game with the master!" Fourteenth also said immediately.
"He's such a lousy chess player... wuwu..."
Master Shi had only said half of his words when he was interrupted by Master Shisi, and he glared at Master Shisi in anger.
Fourteen gave him a fierce look, turned his back and made a gesture to him to keep quiet.
Master Guangci, who was standing behind them, had already looked over and asked, "Your Highnesses, do you have anything to say?"
Jiu Ye's mouth twitched, and he stepped forward to block his two younger brothers. He cleared his throat and said, "Master, I have waited for this day for a long time. Master, could you please fulfill my wish today?"
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and glanced at Thirteen beside him.
Shisanzhi turned his head away and looked at the sky: "Well, the weather is nice. Let's go back to the room and set up the chessboard."
Jiu Ye: “…”
Guangci: “…”
Master Guangci was confused for a moment. Why did he sit back in the room and play chess for no apparent reason?
A quarter of an hour later, the people in the room were petrified again.
Even Fourteen couldn't help but turn his face away.
It’s miserable. It’s so miserable.
"Ninth Prince, do you think we should continue playing chess?" Guangci looked at the Ninth Prince opposite him with a gentle expression.
Jiu Ye's eyes widened. "Hey, I still don't believe it! Three out of five games won't work. Let's play six out of ten games! Your chess game is really boring. I'll teach you a new way to play. Do you know Gomoku?"
Guangci's eyebrows moved slightly: "Yes."
Jiu Ye immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Still don't believe it? Come on!"
