"Today, there's finally some movement on this map. I've been waiting for decades. How can I accept this?"
The things in the cave were emptied before. Maybe we can find something that makes the map move, and then we can follow the clues to find the person who emptied the cave.
"But you're right. We have to hurry to Jiangnan and get that thing."
But today's thing is also very important to the map, and the old monk hesitated for a long time.
"The day after tomorrow, we will set off for Jiangnan early in the morning." The old monk said to the young monk.
The young monk was stunned, "Master, why not tomorrow?" Isn't it also very important? Why do we have to stay here for another day?
The old monk glared at him and said, "What we found today is also very important, so let's look for it again tomorrow. Maybe we can find it."
Anything that makes the map move must be a good thing, and it might be helpful to the place they will go in the future.
But they were destined to be disappointed.
——
Wen Mianmian and the others stayed here for two days. On the morning of the third day, they boarded a boat and headed south again.
We stopped at several places along the way, but the stops were all relatively short.
After traveling and stopping for about two months, they finally arrived in Jiangnan.
I heard that the emperor will stay here for about half a month, so Wen Mianmian and others can have a good time strolling around Jiangnan.
Moreover, Jiangnan is the original owner's hometown, and her father and mother are still here. Maybe this time it can go back home to visit on behalf of the original owner.
The accommodation had been arranged, and Wen Mianmian and her group came to a small courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but it was more than enough for the group of people living in the Fourth Master's Mansion.
Later, Wen Mianmian asked Wang An to find out where the Sixth Lady lived. It wasn't far from her, so she could still visit her when she was free.
The Fourth Master came back in the evening. In the past two months, Wen Mianmian had only seen the Fourth Master twice. The rest of the time, he was with Emperor Kangxi.
"Master, why are you here at this time?" Wen Mianmian was about to go to bed and didn't expect the Fourth Master to come over at this time.
After all, it was getting late, and Emperor Kangxi was some distance away from where they lived.
Looking at the tiredness and thinness on the Fourth Master's face, I knew that the master must not have had a good rest or eaten well during this period.
The Fourth Master hugged Mianmian directly, rested his head on her slender white neck, and smelled her unique scent.
He whispered, "I missed you and came here just because I had some free time."
"Master, have you eaten yet?" Seeing him like this, Wen Mianmian thought that he probably hadn't eaten yet.
Sure enough, the Fourth Master said, "No."
"Then I'll ask someone to cook for you. What do you want to eat?" There is a separate small kitchen in the yard where she lives, so it is quite convenient to cook something.
"Anything is fine. I'm not picky."
"Then let's eat noodles. I'll go cook a bowl of plain noodles for you, Master, okay?"
"Okay." He said okay, but his hands were still holding Wen Mianmian.
"Then Master, let me go first. I'll go cook noodles for you."
After being with the Fourth Master for so many years, Wen Mianmian has long understood his taste.
If it’s too late, he usually doesn’t eat anything greasy, and plain noodles are just right.
"Ask someone to do it. I haven't seen you for a while. Stay with me for a while."
Otherwise, I will be busy tomorrow and I don’t know how many days I won’t be able to see Mianmian.
"No one else's cooking is as good as mine and suits the master's taste. I see that the master has lost a lot of weight these days and needs to eat better. Please wait for me here. It will be quick."
Wen Mianmian broke free from Fourth Master's arms and went to the small kitchen to cook noodles for Fourth Master.
However, the Fourth Master did not wait for her inside as she asked, but followed her to the small kitchen.
As soon as Wen Mianmian entered the kitchen, she saw the Fourth Master behind her.
"Master, why did you come here too?"
"I'll help you."
Wen Mianmian raised her eyebrows slightly, "Master, can you wash vegetables?"
Fourth Master: “…”
The fourth master touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "Yes, it should be okay."
She had never done this before, but she thought it shouldn't be difficult to just wash something.
Wen Mianmian knew from seeing him like this that he had never done this before.
But it doesn’t matter. Washing vegetables is so easy. Almost anyone with hands can do it. Just wash the vegetables clean.
Then the Fourth Master followed Mianmian's example and rolled up his sleeves a little, then started washing the dishes that Mianmian brought over.
Wen Mianmian squatted down to demonstrate, then told him how to wash, then stood up and started to boil water to cook noodles.
Who knew that when Wen Mianmian turned around, she saw the Fourth Master frowning, with rotten vegetable leaves lying around him.
"Oh, Master, don't be in a hurry, just wash slowly."
Although Wen Mianmian saw that half of the vegetables were rotten after being washed, it didn't have much of an impact. It just looked a little ugly.
But this is already very good for the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master slowed down the speed of washing the vegetables. Gradually, perhaps he had mastered some skills, but the vegetables he washed later turned out much better, at least they were not so rotten anymore.
Wen Mianmian fried two more eggs, then added some chopped green onions, lard, and salt to the cooked noodles, and then added the vegetables that the Fourth Master had prepared and the eggs that had just been fried.
Soon two bowls of plain noodles were ready.
Wen Mianmian was also hungry, so she cooked a bowl for herself. The two of them did not go back to the house to eat. Since they were the only two in the kitchen, they sat at the table and ate.
"Master, please try it and see if it tastes good." Wen Mianmian handed the chopsticks to the Fourth Master.
Although I have cooked noodles for my master before, they were all other kinds of noodles. This is the first time I have cooked warm and cozy Yangchun noodles for my master.
The fourth master took the chopsticks and tasted a bite, praising: "Not bad, the noodles made by Mianmian are very much to my taste."
"Hehe, as long as the master likes it."
Wen Mianmian started eating and found it tasted really good and fragrant.
"By the way, master, Jiangnan is my mother's home. I want to go back home when I have time." Wen Mianmian said while eating.
I still have to tell the Fourth Master about this.
"Okay, bring the children over when the time comes. Your father probably hasn't even met them yet."
The Fourth Master naturally knew something about Mian Mian's family, and he had come here this time to talk to her about it.
"If you want, you can stay there for a few more days. I'm probably going to be very busy during this period, so you can spend more time with your family. When I'm free, you can take me on a nice stroll around Jiangnan."
"Really? Then I would like to thank you, Master."
Wen Mianmian didn't expect her master to be so kind. Although she wanted to stay for a few more days at first, she thought that she was now a concubine and it would not be appropriate to live in her parents' home. However, now that the Fourth Master said this, Wen Mianmian felt much more relieved.
