Chapter 239: The Fourth Master: Little Thirteen Has Made Progress
Jiu Ye picked up the teacup and finished his tea in one sentence, then he exhaled with relief: "Add another cup."
As he spoke, he took the teacup and drank three cups in a row. Then he casually picked up a piece of cake and said, "Hey? Are these French fries? They taste a little different from what Sister-in-law Xiao Si made last time."
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Last time I put sugar in it, but this time it's salty, sprinkled with some pepper and salt."
Jiu Ye nodded and ate one bite after another.
Thirteen hesitated for a long time, then hesitantly picked up the teacup. Looking closely, he saw that the tea was light green with a few broken petals floating on it. It really didn't look very pretty.
Thirteen hesitated for a moment, but finally brought it to his lips. The crisp floral fragrance mixed with a light sweetness, and the first sip he took felt warm and comfortable.
By the time he came to his senses, he'd already drunk several glasses without realizing it. For a moment, Thirteen's expression froze. He'd just thought Ninth Brother was being a bit excessive, but now, he'd actually drunk even more than Ninth Brother...
"By the way, Sister-in-law Si, we're going to be on the road tomorrow. Do you want to make some instant noodles for us on the way?"
Jiu Ye had long known that the instant noodles were made with warm wine and had been thinking about it. Remembering that they had to travel again soon, he suddenly became interested. His fourth brother, when he got going, he was like he was going to die, never stopping for a moment. Eating dry food all day was really uncomfortable. If he could have a bowl of hot instant noodles on the road, it would be so comfortable.
"If Master Jiu wants to eat some, I'll make some later. It will be convenient for us to eat some on the way," Wen Jiu answered straightforwardly.
"Haha, that's great! If I tell Old Ten, he'll definitely jump for joy."
Thirteen was a little confused: "Instant noodles?"
Jiu Ye explained to him with great enthusiasm: "Instant noodles are amazing. They look like pancakes, but when you put them in hot water, they turn into a bowl of hot and fragrant noodles. The taste is also unique. Xiao Si's wife made them. Isn't it amazing?"
Thirteen: “…” What’s with that ostentatious tone?
"Oh right," Thirteen suddenly remembered, "Nine Brother, Little Fourteen asked me to bring you a message."
Jiu Ye: "Hmm? What message do you want to bring?"
Thirteen: "He said he wants to eat this bread that turns into dough when it comes into contact with water, and he wants you to send him some."
Before, Thirteen thought that Ninth Brother was just teasing Fourteenth Brother, but now seeing how Ninth Brother was talking to Miss Wen, maybe there really was a pancake that turned into dough when it came into contact with water?
After hearing this, Jiu Ye turned around and looked at Wen Jiu: "Little Fourth Sister-in-law, can you give me some?"
Wen Jiu nodded, "Of course." Making instant noodles isn't difficult, actually. Ancient times are different from modern times. Nowadays, everyone makes everything themselves, and making more is both time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Nowadays, I have a lot of people serving me. I just need to teach them and ask them to do whatever I want.
When Master Jiu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: "Could you please make a little more, little sister-in-law? I want to give it as a gift when I get home."
If he could get more instant noodles from Little Fourth Sister-in-law, he wouldn't have to prepare gifts for the Emperor and his mother. This thing is both novel and delicious. I think the Emperor and his family haven't tried it before, so they must think it tastes good, right?
Jiu Ye thought that no one in the world would refuse instant noodles.
After hearing what he said, Wenjiu's face suddenly became a little strange. The prince, who was so precious, just disliked the gifts of gold and silver as tacky, but now he wanted to use instant noodles as a gift?
This is her personal experience. If someone had told her this before, she would have thought that person was crazy.
"What are you doing?"
Just when everyone was having a great time, they suddenly heard an extremely cold voice behind them.
Jiu Ye shuddered and turned around, only to see his fourth brother squinting at them.
"Fourth brother, could you please stop being so elusive? You scared me!" Jiu Ye patted his chest, pretending to be calm, and then looked at Fourth Master cautiously. Fourth Master squinted his eyes at him, walked over quickly, and sat in the seat between Wen Jiu and Jiu Ye. Then he turned to Jiu Ye and asked: "What have you done wrong?"
When Jiu Ye heard this, he shook his head violently and said, "I have done nothing wrong. I am upright." Then he straightened his chest.
Then he wondered, "Fourth brother, weren't you having lunch in the front hall? Why are you here now?" How could his fourth brother, who was always busy with official documents, be free now?
The Fourth Master was silent for a moment, then said, "I ate a lot, so I came out to help digest it."
Jiu Ye listened and immediately said, "Fourth Brother is really amazing. He thinks everything tastes the same. I can't do that. I didn't eat the food made by Fourth Sister-in-law at noon and it felt bland. Fourth Sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good."
Hearing this, Wen Jiu smiled. "Thank you for the compliment, Master Jiu. If you didn't have enough for lunch, why don't you stay and eat some with me? Master Thirteen hasn't had lunch either, right? You can have some more here. I just asked the kitchen to prepare the meal, and I think it should be ready soon."
[Master! There's thunder in space!!!]
Wen Jiu had just finished speaking when he suddenly heard Xiao Jing say this. He immediately turned around to look at the Fourth Master. Not only was his head covered with dark clouds, but his face was also as black as ink.
[Hurry, hurry, the wind is too strong, the fruit will fall and break soon! ]
Wen Jiu was silent for a moment, then immediately reached out and hooked Fourth Master's finger under the table: "Even though I've already eaten, would you please give me a bite as well? Just to accompany the wine?"
With just one word, the lightning and thunder above the Fourth Master's head suddenly quieted down.
"Didn't you say you weren't feeling well when you woke up in the morning? Why did you get up so early? Did those two disturb your rest?" The Fourth Master didn't say whether he wanted to eat or not. He just took a close look at Wenjiu's outfit and reached out to help her tidy up the messy hair around her ears.
Thirteen was so shocked that he was speechless. Was this man in front of him, acting so intimately with a woman, his fourth brother? If he remembered correctly, he had never seen such a scene offline until his death in his previous life. He rarely saw his fourth brother sitting with a woman!
Could it be that someone switched them?
The Fourth Master noticed that his two younger brothers were still staring at him blankly, and immediately frowned: "If you two are not hungry, you don't have to give me face. If you want to go back, go back."
Thirteen was the first to react after hearing this. He stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "Brother is indeed not hungry, so I won't bother Fourth Brother anymore."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Master nodded immediately and said, "Little Thirteen has made great progress recently." He then turned his deep eyes to the Ninth Master.
Jiu Ye, however, sat steadily, showing no intention of getting up.
Thirteen was also worried about him, and finally couldn't help but pull Jiu Ye and gave him a wink.
Jiu Ye blinked twice. "Thirteen, why are you so anxious? Little Fourth Sister-in-law invited us to have dinner, so just sit down and be quiet. Why are you being so polite to Fourth Brother and Little Fourth Sister-in-law?"
As he said this, he suddenly reached out and pulled Xiao Shisan to sit down.
