Chapter 238: Could Sister-in-law Si be a greedy person?
Thirteen looked at the two men's faces carefully without any expression, and saw that they looked frank and didn't seem to have any problems.
However, in his previous life, Ninth Brother hated women the most. Not to mention talking to a woman nicely like this, even Ninth Lady couldn't get a single good look from him. Or was it that the younger Ninth Brother didn't hate women?
I felt that the scene in front of me was too unreal.
"There's no need for you to compete with us, Sister-in-law Si. Just take your cooking skills for example. Even ten of you can't compare to them." In order to have a meal soon, Master Jiu kept saying nice things to us.
Seeing Wenjiu looking at Xiao Shisan with some confusion, Jiu Ye immediately slapped Xiao Shisan in the face.
"Hey, Little Thirteen, what are you thinking about? Didn't you say you were going to come and thank Little Fourth Sister-in-law? Why are you standing there in a daze?"
Thirteen was stunned by the slap from Ninth Master. It had been a long time since he had been treated like this. He suddenly frowned and looked at Ninth Master. Having held a high position for many years, Thirteen had already developed an aura that was even more terrifying than that of Fourth Master.
Jiu Ye was stunned. How come this little Thirteen suddenly became so imposing?
After a quarter of an hour's pause, Jiu Ye suddenly reached out and slapped Xiao Shisan on the head again.
"Hey, you little bastard, how dare you glare at your ninth brother!" He would beat even the tenth brother, let alone this little rascal.
Thirteen's momentum was instantly shattered. Even though he had been manipulating power for decades, he was still no match for his ninth brother's slap...
Come on, why bother with Brother Nine? The last time I drank with him in my previous life was when I went to burn paper for him at his grave. If you want to hit me, just give me two slaps.
Seeing Jiu Ye's hand rising again, Thirteen immediately said, "How dare I? I'm not glaring at Jiu Ge."
Then, feeling upset, he moved a little further away from his ninth brother and bowed to Wen Jiu. "Miss Wen, I never thought you were actually close to Fourth Brother. I was really rude to you earlier. Thirteen has specially prepared two gifts this time. One is to thank you for saving my life, and the other is to apologize to you for what happened yesterday."
"Ah? Two gifts?" Wen Jiu was stunned.
Thirteen chuckled, "Miss Wen, there's no need to feel embarrassed. This gift was specially chosen for you. It's not a valuable item. If it weren't for you, Thirteen might be bedridden right now."
Seeing that the warm wine had not been touched, Thirteen said, "If you don't accept it, does that mean you don't forgive Thirteen?"
"Little Fourth Sister-in-law, you're welcome." Jiu Ye said, "They are all given to you by our brothers, so just accept it. Fourth Brother will definitely agree if he is here."
"Oh," Wen Jiu came back to his senses and immediately laughed, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
As he said this, he took the box himself, smiling so hard that his teeth were exposed.
[Master, did you hear me? Why didn't you respond? Emperor Planet is angry, and it's raining in space!!!]
Wen Jiu pretended not to hear anything. It wasn't a heavy rain anyway, so he let it rain for now. The space wouldn't need watering for a few days.
[Xiao Jin: ...You're awesome!]
When Thirteenth and Nineth Master saw Wenjiu unpacking the box so skillfully, they were stunned for a moment.
As soon as the box was opened, the women subconsciously looked inside the box, their expressions varying.
Thirteen coughed lightly with an embarrassed look on his face and turned his face away.
Wenjiu's eyes widened with surprise: "Wow~"
Jiu Ye frowned. "Little Thirteen, who are you looking down on? Why did you bring a box of gold as a gift? Is Little Fourth Sister-in-law a greedy person?"
They were all princes of high rank, so who wouldn't give gifts of priceless value? Giving gold and silver was like insulting someone!
Although the Fourth Sister-in-law was of a low rank, the Ninth Master had never seen her clearly. He then waved his hand at the Thirteenth Master.
Thirteen Mo Ming also felt aggrieved. If he were giving a gift to someone else, he would never have thought of giving gold or silver. But she had accepted the ten cents from him earlier...
Thirteen thought, if you give something, you should give it in a way that pleases the recipient, right? Besides, Miss Wen's position wasn't high. Having lived in the inner palace, and knowing that many people, whose mother died young, lived in seclusion, were superficially glamorous but secretly misused every penny. Perhaps she was truly struggling financially?
If she gave him some valuable calligraphy and paintings or precious gold and silver jewelry and porcelain ornaments, she would probably have to exchange them for money.
After thinking about it, Thirteen asked someone to exchange it for a box of gold.
Of course, the gold was only one gift. The other gift was in the box, which was two sets of fine ink.
Thirteen looked towards Wen Jiu, and his heart was relieved. He had been a little nervous, worried that Miss Wen would not like her or think that she looked down on him. Now it seemed that Miss Wen was probably interested in gold and silver. His ink-loving nature made him not even glance at her.
"Nine Brother, Miss Wen seems to like it very much."
Ninth Master rolled his eyes at Thirteenth Master and said, "Little Fourth Sister-in-law is just giving you face!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wenjiu took out a large gold ingot from the box, put it to his lips and took a bite, then said with a smile: "I like it, thank you."
Jiu Ye: “???”
Wen Jiu: "This gold ingot looks really nice."
Jiu Ye: “…” He was overthinking it.
"Master, could you please stop being so useless? Didn't the Fourth Master just give you ten thousand taels? And you haven't even spent it all! Be a little more reserved, oh my!"
How can it be the same when you warm the wine but curl your lips?
How can the Fourth Master's money be the same as the money I get from others?
Xiao Jin rolled his eyes: "Aren't they all given by others?"
Wen Jiu replied in his heart: This is all earned by your master! The money from Fourth Master is the money I coaxed from men with all my efforts. As for Thirteen, this is the bonus I got for saving people!
Xiao Jin: "..." For a moment, I didn't know how to refute...
"Gentlemen, would you like to have some tea before leaving?" Wenjiu took the silver and said to the two men with a smile in a good mood.
"No."
"OK."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiu Ye and Shisan gave completely different answers at the same time.
Before Thirteen could come to his senses, he saw his ninth brother leaving first.
He touched his nose and finally followed his ninth brother in.
Wenjiu led them to the main hall. Her and the Fourth Master's bedroom was in the inner room, and the Fourth Master had also entertained guests in the outer room. But Wenjiu didn't take them to the outer room, thinking it would be better to stay in the main hall.
As soon as I sat down, Dashao brought a pot of tea. I took the warm wine, heated three tea bowls, and poured a cup for each person.
The expression on Thirteen's face froze again. This tea was actually poured directly into the tea bowl from a big pot?
Not even a teacup?
If someone else did this, Thirteen would have felt deliberately treated with disrespect, but this Miss Wen seemed a little different. This time, he wisely kept silent and went to see his Ninth Brother.
