Chapter 905 Is there something wrong with my vision?
Wen Jiu felt a little embarrassed by the compliment: "I've only seen others use a similar method before. This is my first time trying it, so I'm not very confident."
"What are you worried about? You have figured out people's hearts. Just wait and see, these people will use their strength soon." said Jiu Ye.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiu Ye couldn't help but approach Si Ye and said, "Fourth Brother, how did you find the fourth sister-in-law? Teach me, I will go find one too."
This remark successfully earned a cold look from the Fourth Master. The Ninth Master shuddered and immediately ran to warm the wine.
"You really don't have a sister?"
Wen Jiu: "My sister doesn't have one, but my brother has one. Unfortunately, he has been sent to the military camp, so I'm afraid he can't marry you."
Jiu Ye choked: "Is our brother also so smart? Has he married yet?"
Wen Jiu's face was filled with disbelief, and he looked him up and down: "Wait, do you still have any moral integrity?"
Jiu Ye met Wen Jiu's very strange gaze and immediately jumped up and down: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law! What are you thinking! I mean, if our brother didn't get married, we still have a sister who hasn't married yet, Fourth Brother, don't you think so?"
"You think too much." The Fourth Master rolled his eyes at him, raised his eyebrows and looked ahead: "Look quickly."
The Ninth Master followed the Fourth Master's gaze and immediately curled his lips: "I wonder if Eighth Brother will smile again later."
At the same time, the servant beside the Eighth Master in the distance also frowned and came over to report.
"Master, this is bad!"
The Eighth Master leaned back in his chair, took a bite of a dessert, and casually glanced at the servant beside him: "What's wrong with that? I saw it all. What have they done? Given Fourth Brother's temper, it's surprising that he didn't even use a knife."
"Master, not only has the Fourth Prince not used a knife, but now those unruly people are digging for gold on the ground. There are even some people outside who have volunteered to help clean up without asking for money. Judging from the situation, this job will be completed soon."
"What did you say!" Mr. Ba frowned, immediately put down his snacks, stood up and looked over.
As expected, he saw the bustling atmosphere and immediately clenched his fists: "How could this happen? Explain clearly!"
"Master, I heard that the Fourth Prince's purse was missing and was just found. It was said that there was a hole in it and all the gold and silver treasures inside fell out. They also said that someone will return it as soon as it is found."
The Eighth Master clenched his fists until they creaked. "It's nothing but a trick. These unruly people actually fell for it!"
The guard frowned slightly and said, "Master, these are just ordinary people. They can't be fooled by such tricks. Do you want me to secretly go over and tell them the truth?"
"No need." Mr. Ba gritted his teeth: "It's useless for you to say anything now. They won't believe it."
Glancing into the distance again, Eighth Master narrowed his eyes and said, "No, Old Nine has clearly run out of tricks. Fourth Brother is not that kind of person..."
"This matter is likely related to that concubine! If not, the Fourth Prince will surely be furious. If we suppress it with brute force, the best outcome will be losing the support of the people!"
"Warm the wine!" The Eighth Master had used this method to scheme against his Fourth Brother before, and it always worked. This was the first time Fourth Brother hadn't resorted to force. He was filled with resentment: "Do they think this is enough? It's not that easy! What can we do about this? There's still the wood. Even if we move it here, it won't be as easy as we think. Fourth Brother collapsed the altar on his first visit. He'll be criticized for this for the rest of his life. Just wait and see!"
"Fourth brother, hahaha, look, the eight bird's face has turned green. I can see it clearly from such a distance." Jiu Ye took a look from a distance and immediately laughed.
Wen Jiu shook his head in amusement. "It seems that the collapsed area can be cleared out in no time. However, it still needs some solid bricks and stones. These people still need to be handled with some control."
Jiu Ye suddenly became alert: "These unruly people, many of them have picked up gold and silver now, they probably want to finish their work early and go home to avoid being searched and having their silver found. If I can't catch them, then all my years of wandering around in the market will have been in vain."
After saying this, Master Jiu tutted his words again, "These common folk are quite shrewd. Looking at their faces, they're all more honest than the other. Honestly, this is quite amusing. No, I have to keep an eye on them.
Fourth brother, you should go check on the wood. Big brother is watching over there. I left Old Ten there, but I'm still a little worried."
"Well, I leave this to you." After saying this, the Fourth Master patted the Ninth Master's shoulder.
Wen Jiu also smiled: "Come to my place for dinner."
Jiu Ye had already run more than ten meters away. After hearing what he said, he waved his hand without even turning his head: "Got it!"
Wen Jiu and the Fourth Master looked at each other and headed towards the back mountain at the same time.
"Jiu'er, you should go back first. I'll go check on Big Brother."
Wenjiu's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly waved to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master looked at her in confusion and then lowered his head.
Wenjiu put her arms around his neck and whispered a few words in his ear.
The Fourth Master was stunned when he heard this: "You."
Then he laughed: "I understand. You can go back and rest. Leave this little monk to me. If Guangci really comes, I'm afraid you won't be his match."
Wen Jiu was stunned and looked back at Tan Luan. He saw a hint of fear in Tan Luan's eyes, and the love heart on his head was slowly growing and a new one was born.
"Donor, I want to follow you. I only know you."
[Master, this little monk's love is of the highest quality, even reaching the point where it can be exchanged for mid-grade spirit stones. But why does his love have a hint of black energy? Never mind. It's a good thing anyway.]
Now it seems that this small world is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Master, why don't you keep me here? It would be helpful to save some spirit stones.
After hearing Xiao Jin's words, Wen Jiu's heart was also moved for a moment.
Come to think of it, I am familiar with Tan Luan, and I am afraid that his life will be better if he follows me.
After thinking about it again and again, Wenjiu nodded: "Okay, just do as I say."
[Master, what a great opportunity to improve your favorability and earn Spirit Stones, are you just going to give it up like this?]
Wen Jiu ignored Xiao Jin and looked at Tan Luan seriously, saying, "Tan Luan, don't worry. Your master is your master, and you are you. Even if he does something evil, it has nothing to do with you. Wait until this matter is over. If you still want to stay with me, I will help you arrange it. For now, you should just follow me."
"Donor..." Tan Luan frowned tightly.
"It's settled, you can go back." The Fourth Master suddenly stood up, blocking the way between Wenjiu and Tanluan, and said, "Buyu, you go and see her off."
"Master, that's not necessary. I've been running myself crazy these past two days. We're only a hundred meters ahead, so there's no need to send me off. I'm going to get some sleep and I'll make something delicious later. Before you come back, send someone to tell Master Nine and Master Ten to come over so we can have a good meal."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll be watching you."
"Um."
...
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Emperor Kangxi took the secret memorial and read it carefully, then nodded: "This time, you have handled the situation calmly. The fourth brother has lost some of his anger. This is something I never thought of."
"Your Majesty, you are right. From what I have seen, the Fourth Prince was always very serious in the past. Now, although he seems difficult to get close to, he is much better than before."
"He's clever at warming his wine, good at dealing with people, and knows how to adapt. Learning even a little bit from the fourth brother's personality is enough."
"Concubine Wen is a good woman, no one can compare to her. But Concubine Wen always says that she wants to learn from the prince in everything. I think our Fourth Prince is still better."
Emperor Kangxi laughed when he heard this, closed the memorial, and said, "Don't praise the Fourth Brother. I know my son well. I used to think that with his temperament, he should find someone gentler and softer to soften his temper. But I didn't expect that Ulanara looked like a little lamb, but in fact her methods were extremely cruel and she was not gentle to get along with.
To be honest, I haven't seen it clearly. The children and the first wife are just like a couple with grievances. Tell me, is there something wrong with my way of looking at people?
"Your Majesty, why do you say that? This old servant is wrong." Liang Jiugong smiled and offered tea to Emperor Kangxi: "Our Prince Zhi and his wife are also very loving."
"I knew you would pick this up. They have a good relationship, but Baoqing is so old. Even now, they haven't given birth to a prince. Their relationship is so good, but he doesn't even want a maid. Will his palace be used to fill the national treasury in the future?"
"Your Majesty, look at what you said. The two of them, Daqiansui and Dafujin, are still young. They will definitely have children to inherit the family. Good things come to those who wait. Your Majesty has made an excellent choice for our Crown Princess. Everyone who sees them will praise them."
"That's a good one." Emperor Kangxi nodded. "That girl is well-educated, has a good character, understands the situation, and knows the pros and cons. Such intelligence is rare among women, and even rarer still, she has a sincere heart. She is worthy of being the Crown Prince."
"Your Majesty, you are right. Everyone in the harem, including the Empress Dowager, likes our Crown Princess."
Emperor Kangxi glanced at Liang Jiugong and said: "What's the point if the harem likes it? The prince doesn't like it."
Liang Jiugong choked and didn't know what to say for a moment. He only added dryly: "Maybe it will get better with time."
"The Crown Princess has been married for seven years. How much longer can it be?" Emperor Kangxi obviously didn't expect Liang Jiugong to say anything. He sighed and said, "That's all right. At least they are not like the third brother. They have become a pair of resentful couples and are like enemies when they meet.
I originally thought that since the third son was unreliable, he must have found a more capable wife. The Dong E family was a military family, so I thought the daughters they would raise would also be capable. The third son's wife was good, and capable, but that power was used on the women in the harem, not on the third son at all.
The ninth brother's wife is also from the Dong E clan, and she seems much more reliable, but unfortunately, she still can't control the ninth brother."
"Your Majesty, our Ninth Prince is the best right now. He is working for the Fourth Prince and his abilities are definitely not inferior to those of the other princes. Even the Tenth Prince is a bit more reliable now."
Emperor Kangxi glanced at Liang Jiugong and said, "They have nothing to do with the wives I chose for them. It's all thanks to Wen girl. Not only the ninth and tenth brothers, but also the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers, including the fourth brother, have become much better than before. This shows how good she is at warming wine."
As he said this, Emperor Kangxi sighed, "This Wenjiu, her downfall lies in her family background. If she had a better background, even from a poor family like the Ulanara clan, I would have definitely made her my fourth son's legitimate wife."
When Liang Jiugong heard this, he was shocked. How long had it been since he heard the emperor praise others like this?
He immediately suppressed his fear and said with a smile, "Concubine Wen is naturally very insightful. I think the reason is that Concubine Wen grew up in the palace since she was a child. She followed the Fourth Master from a young age, so she must have been influenced by him and established this kind of character."
"Come on, you only say nice things. There are so many bondservants. There are countless people who grew up in the palace. Even the maids who were raised with Concubine De are countless. How many of them have such a mentality?"
Liang Jiugong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are right. I am stupid. Now look at the young princes in the Fourth Master's mansion. Aren't they all very kind-hearted? It seems that their temperament is probably determined at birth."
"That's true," Emperor Kangxi beamed as he mentioned his grandchildren. "These grandchildren of mine seem to have picked out the good qualities of the Fourth Brother and Wen Jiu. Just wait and see, even their looks will surely surpass those two in the future. By the way, have they finished their martial arts training yet?"
Liang Jiugong glanced at the Western clock on the table and said, "Your Majesty, it looks like there's still nearly half an hour left. Prince Hongshi said when he got up this morning that he would take the younger princes out for more practice. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back when the time comes."
Emperor Kangxi frowned. "Erbao, that martial arts geek, has actually copied his father's stubbornness to its absolute perfection. It's hard for me to even glance at them."
"Your Majesty, the little princes are still young. If you are worried about them, how about I go and get them right away?"
"Why should I delay my grandchildren's martial arts training? They really have excellent personalities. Even though they are stubborn, they are not like the fourth brother who has a sullen face all day long, as if he owes him money."
Liang Jiugong: "...Your Majesty, let's..."
Emperor Kangxi: "Now? Now go and summon Wen Shoucai to the throne."
"Yeah." Liang Jiugong responded reflexively, and then he was also confused: "Wen Shoucai?"
Emperor Kangxi: "Yes, Wen Shoucai. Hurry up, I will go with him to pick up my grandchildren later."
Liang Jiugong vaguely remembered the name Wen Shoucai from the depths of his memory, and he wanted to slap himself.
This Wen Shoucai is Concubine Wen’s father. How could I forget him?
However, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out why the emperor called Wen Shoucai like that.
