Chapter 924 Deliberately waiting for Fourth Brother?
Thirteen collected his thoughts and asked again, "How old is Miss Shanzhao this year?"
"I am two years younger than my master, and now I am eighteen." Shanzha was stunned and replied.
"Miss, have you thought about your future plans? You'll be released in a few years."
"Plans?" Shanzha's mind inexplicably showed someone's face, and she couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth. When she looked up, she saw Thirteenth Master staring at her closely, and she cleared her throat: "I don't really have any plans. I'll just listen to the master anyway."
Thirteen wanted to ask more, but they were already inside the house, so it was inconvenient to continue talking.
He immediately took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Shanzha: "Thank you for helping me prepare food today. This jade pendant is a thank you gift. Please accept it."
"No, no, no, this slave cannot be accepted."
"Take it. It's given to you by my master, and you refuse it?"
Shanzha turned pale with fear and immediately pushed it back: "Thirteenth Master! If I really accept your things, my master will probably break my legs! Thirteenth Master, please take them back immediately. Don't say such things again. I really can't bear it."
Having said this, Shanzha was about to kneel down.
Thirteen frowned and wanted to help, but saw Shanzha subconsciously retract his hand. He pursed his lips and said, "Don't kneel. I won't see you off. Hurry up and get up."
Shanzha let out a breath, stood up and bowed, then went into the house first.
Thirteen turned his head to glance at the sky, then suddenly curled his lips and patted A Jin's shoulder. "A Jin, look, after all these days since I came back, I finally saw a nice day. It's so nice."
Ah Jin was stunned: "Ah? Master, it's still a good day even with all this snow falling."
He turned around to look at his master, only to see that he had also followed him into the house.
Inside, Su Peisheng, Xiaodouzi, Liusu, and the personal guards of the Ninth and Tenth Masters were also having dinner together in that room. It was very lively.
Seeing Thirteen come in, Wenjiu smiled and said, "Master Thirteen, please call Ah Jin in quickly. It's very cold outside, let's go and have fun with them."
Thirteen was stunned for a moment and glanced towards the servants' table. He saw that Shanzha had also gone to Liusu. She was obviously cold at the moment, and Liusu was helping her warm her hands.
After a moment of hesitation, he responded, "Hey, listen to Little Fourth Sister-in-law."
This meal, perhaps because everyone hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, everyone drank a lot.
The fourth master and his friends were drinking the most enthusiastically.
I felt a little full after drinking the warm wine, so I stood up and stretched out.
He saw Tan Luan, who was just watching outside and was left behind by Liusu, and then he held his hand with a helpless look.
"They can all drink, but you can't. You still need to take good care of your body, don't you understand?"
It turns out that Tanluan is a fake monk. He accepts all kinds of food and wine. Wen Jiu thought that this is probably what people used to say: wine and meat pass through the intestines, but remain in the heart of the Buddha.
Tan Luan's clear eyes fell on Wen Jiu, and he pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly warm smile: "I will listen to you, benefactor."
Wen Jiu glanced at the child in front of him. He was smaller than the average person, but he looked quite well-behaved. He wanted to touch his forehead, but because he was a boy, he stopped himself.
Thinking of the doctor's words about his lifespan, Wen Jiu couldn't help but sigh. His health was not good, but it didn't look like he would die tomorrow. And she hadn't found a solution yet.
After taking another look, he poured him a small cup and said, "If you're really greedy, you can drink this much."
Tan Luan smiled again, revealing a small canine tooth: "Thank you, benefactor."
After drinking this glass of wine, Tan Luan felt weak and could not hold on any longer, so he went back to rest.
It can be said that both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal.
Except for Tan Luan who made Wen Jiu worry, everything else was fine.
After everyone had dispersed and she had warmed her wine and washed up, she began searching through the booklet. With only one day left, she had to hurry.
"Jiu'er, what are you still looking at so late? Go to bed early." said the Fourth Master.
Wenjiu searched for a long time but still found nothing.
Xiao Jin yawned tiredly. "Master, you're tired too. Go to sleep. I'll finish reading all these books today. If I find a way, I'll call you."
Wen Jiu sighed and finally put the book down: "I didn't read anything. Why did you come back so late?"
The Fourth Master laughed, "Thirteen, this kid is a little abnormal today. I don't know why, but he kept asking me to drink non-stop, and kept smiling and saying things like "That's great" and "It's perfect." Even the chatterbox Ninth Brother got annoyed by his nagging. Now he is drunk and unconscious, so he let us go back."
Wen Jiu listened and curled the corners of his mouth: "Isn't it possible that Thirteenth Master is happy for me?"
The Fourth Master also laughed, "I haven't seen him this happy in a while. This kid is usually more thoughtful than most people his age. Fourteenth is still riding horses and walking dogs, and look at Thirteenth, he's already following me to the court to fight those old men. Today, he drank heartily with the Ninth and Eleventh Masters, and I'm happy."
"Thirteen is happy today, I can see it."
As the Fourth Master spoke, he took Wen Jiu's entire body into his arms, burying his chin in the crook of her neck. "Let's not talk about him anymore. Go to sleep early and stop worrying. The child's illness is beyond help. It's useless to worry about him. All we can do is to see him off to his final resting place."
Wen Jiu was stunned: "Master, I know everything."
"Okay, be good, go to sleep. As you said, we'll only be separated for a few decades at most, and we'll meet again eventually."
It was rare that the Fourth Master was very obedient that night. He just put his arms around her waist and patted her gently from time to time.
Wenjiu was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and buried his face in the Fourth Master's chest.
The next morning, after the Fourth Master got up, he took a close look at the warm wine beside him and sighed softly.
This girl's brows were furrowed when she slept, and I couldn't help but reach out to cover her with the quilt: "Hawthorn, your master is in a bad mood, so you should take good care of her. She likes the red plums, so pick some more to take back."
"Yes." Shanzha bowed slightly and responded.
The Fourth Master glanced at the warm wine again and said, "I will send a carriage to pick her up later. Just pack up the gold and silver jewelry and let her sleep. When it's time to leave, let her get in the carriage. The carriage should have thicker bedding. It will take at least an hour and a half to get back to the capital. Don't catch a cold."
"Hey, I remember everything."
The Fourth Master nodded and hurried out. He would return to the capital soon. This time, he could finally take a break.
"Fourth brother! You're up!"
I had just left the garden and hadn't taken a few steps when I ran into Thirteen head-on.
The Fourth Master was puzzled: "Didn't you have a hangover yesterday? Why are you so early today? What? Have you been standing outside for a while?"
As he spoke, the Fourth Master raised his eyebrows: "Are you deliberately waiting for Fourth Brother?"
