After the clearing, I was forced to tease the fourth master every day

Chapter 155 Didn't she say her wife is beautiful?
"Eat quickly." The fourth master looked at her in confusion, feeding warm wine piece by piece.

Wen Jiu couldn't keep it in his mouth, so he took another piece of meat and fed it to his mouth.

Wen Jiu had carelessly cared about Xiao Jin's words, but now he couldn't help but have doubts.

"I can't eat it anymore." The braised pork was delicious, but after eating seven or eight pieces in a row, it was too tired, so he waved his hand quickly.

The fourth master frowned, and added chopsticks and cabbage.

"This is not boring."

Wen Jiu ate the food with his hand, and felt better, but the fourth master continued to feed it one bite after another.

He didn't give up until his mouth was full of warm wine, and put a bowl of soup on hand for her: "Don't choke, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Wen Jiu: "..." In the end, am I in a hurry to eat, or are you in a hurry to feed?
"Master, why don't you eat it too?" Wen Jiu took a sip of the soup, swallowed the food in his mouth, looked up, and the fourth master was still looking at her, two hearts popping out of his head. .

For some reason, there is an inexplicable sense of panic about being sent to the slaughterhouse.
Fourth Master: "Hey Master, don't be distracted."

The fourth master suddenly found some fun. He only discovered today that feeding others is such an interesting thing.

No wonder that when he used to eat meals, Fu Jin and Fu Jin liked to serve him. Is it so fun to feed others?

The little girl in front of her was born white and tender, and her cheeks were bulging when she was eating, which reminded the fourth master inexplicably of the little white rabbit that she saw in front of the Queen Mother when she was a child, hugging and chewing carrots all day.

I couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and braised pork again: "Come, open your mouth, and eat."

Wenjiu: "." Can I refuse?

"Master, don't ask to see you."

Fourth Master didn't turn his head back: "Come in."

"Qi, Master, Liu Yu said he wanted something." Bu Yan entered the room and clasped his fists.

Fourth Master put down his chopsticks for a while: "What does he want?"

Wen Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and drank several sips of tea in a row to suppress the tiredness.

Bu Yan said: "Master, it's some calligraphy and painting, and I also need some pen and paper." He took out a painting in his hand: "Master, this is it, Liu Yu asked for it by name."

Fourth Master looked over and asked, "Who is this?"

"This is his wife." Before Wu Yan could speak, Wen Jiu replied.

"So young?" The fourth master was surprised, suddenly remembered, and turned to look at Wen Jiu: "Didn't you say his wife is beautiful?"

The fourth master looked at the portrait, and the people in the painting were just handsome. Compared to his back-principal, he was not enough, let alone Wenjiu.Will she think such a woman is beautiful?

Wen Jiu took a sip of tea: "They were young couples, Mrs. Liu was only twenty-three when she died, so she was naturally young."

Wen Jiu looked at the painting: "Brows, hair, tears and moles on cheeks are all very clear. This painting is so subtle as if a person is in front of him. He even remembers the color on her handkerchief. Don't you think it's beautiful?"

The fourth master looked over and frowned: "You mean Liu Yu's painting is beautiful?" This painting skill is not outstanding, and he is not incomparable, what is there to brag about?

Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Yes, what the lord said."

Fourth Master frowned slightly, always feeling that she still had something to say.

"Master, Liu Yu hasn't been in good spirits recently, and he doesn't use his meals very much. It seems that he has the will to die." Bu Yan hesitated for a moment before saying.

Fourth Master frowned slightly: "Don't give him anything, don't let him die." If Liu Yu was gone at this time, how would he explain to Huang Ama?Today's Jinyang still needs to use him.

Bu Yan frowned: "The doctor went to see it, Liu Yu's body is already in a state of dilapidation, Master, I'm afraid we have to make plans earlier."

Fourth Master: "If you don't eat, look for someone to feed it. If you are sick, you can get medical treatment. You must not let him die before you return to Beijing."

Silently clasping his fists: "Yes!"

"Hey, wait." Wen Jiu suddenly said: "Master, why don't you ask Lord Buyan to send this painting to Lord Liu, and let him have a thought."

Fourth Master: "Master is just afraid that he will lose his thoughts. If he has everything he wants, he can die without any worries."

Wen Jiu: "Master is right, but now he has no life. If things go on like this, I'm afraid it will be easy to get into trouble. Otherwise, Master will give him a picture? Sir, can you give me the picture."

Bu Yan looked at the fourth master, saw the fourth master nodded, and presented the painting.

Wen Jiu dipped some tea on his hands, but he didn't have the heart to stain the person in the painting, so he only dipped some tea in the corner of the painting.At first glance, it seems that the dress of the woman in the painting is dirty.

"Okay, as long as you send this painting to Master Liu, he should be able to last a few days."

Fourth Master looked sideways at Wen Jiu: "What does this mean?"

Wen Jiu just smiled: "My beloved wife's skirt is dirty, he should put it on for her."

The fourth master was a little ignorant, but in the end he still let Wuyan send it to Liu Yu.

"Master, what will happen to Master Liu?" Wen Jiu suddenly asked, looking at the silent back.

Today, she also knows about the same thing in the mouths of everyone. Speaking of which, Liu Yu's initial mistake was that she didn't take good care of the grain depot.One wrong step, one wrong step, and now there is no way to go back.

The fourth master stared at Wen Jiu for a while: "Are you worried about him?" She probably didn't have any contact with Liu Yu, right?

Wen Jiu nodded: "I'm not worried, I just think his life is a bit difficult."

Looking up at the fourth master who listened to her carefully, Wen Jiu couldn't help but said again: "Master, you say, he should be a stubborn person, right? He stayed with him for the rest of his life after the death of his deceased wife. He has four walls and wants to be a good official. .

Now that he has ended up colluding with officials and bandits, I wonder if the people know that Heifengzhai was made by him, will they still love him as before?

Faith is broken, and at this age, how will I live in the future? "

Wen Jiu was born in modern times, and only thought that such people are in the history books. This is the first time I have met in my life. It is inevitable that I will feel a little sigh.There's really no way to feel bad about Liu Yu like this.

"Man, how can you be so vulnerable? In the eyes of the Lord, it is indeed cowardly." The fourth master frowned: "If you are not afraid of death, what is there to fear in living? It is a waste of so many years for a servant."

After the fourth master finished speaking, he glanced at Wenjiu whose eyes were turning red, and his whole body froze: "Why are you hurting your heart?" He wiped away her tears in a panic. A red mark appeared on his face.The fourth master froze, not knowing what to do for a while.

Wen Jiu snorted and said, "I don't know what's wrong. I just thought, if Madam is still alive, I'm afraid I want him to live well."

In fact, Wen Jiu couldn't figure out why it was uncomfortable.Maybe she was envious?
Such emotions are invisible in the modern era of monogamy, let alone the Qing Dynasty where men are superior to women.

Ming marriage is a married couple, unable to stay together for a lifetime, but they are each other's only.The beauty is like a bubble, something that Wenjiu will never envy for a lifetime.

"Okay." The fourth master responded suddenly: "Master, let him take care of him. I promise to keep him alive. Don't you cry?"

Wen Jiu was stunned for a while, but for some reason, he suddenly laughed out loud, seeing the Fourth Master's relieved appearance, Wen Jiu couldn't help rubbing against his shoulder: "Master is so nice. But, don't. I was influenced by Jiu'er. Jiu'er is the little thought of my daughter's family, don't influence my father to do business."

Fourth Master let out another breath, and pushed the plate of braised pork in front of her: "Do you want to eat some more?"

Wen Jiu nodded: "eat."

...

Coming out of Wen Jiu's room, the fourth master couldn't help but ask, "What did she mean just now? Do you understand?"

Bu Yan was stunned for a moment: "Master is asking, is the girl soiling the painting?"

Fourth Master just frowned slightly and did not speak.

Bu Yan said: "Master, just now the slave sent the painting to Liu Yu, and he began to paint. I also used a little more for lunch. It seems that the girl's method is indeed useful."

Fourth Master frowned and paused: "Do you think Liu Yu's paintings are beautiful? How is it compared to Master's Dan Qing?"

Bu Yan was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "The slave does not understand Dan Qing, but I always feel that the girl is not talking about Dan Qing."

Fourth Master frowned: "What is that?"

Bu Yan also shook his head with a stiff face: "The slave is not yet married, so I really don't understand the truth of the woman's mind. Why don't you ask the third master?"

Fourth Master frowned and thought for a moment, then waved his hand irritably: "That's it."

Let him ask his third brother, it is better to go back and ask Wenjiu.

But thinking about it carefully, the virtue of his third brother, the women around him seem to be particularly in love with him.It seems that among the brothers, he is the only one who knows women better than others.

The footsteps could not help but go to the yard where the third master lived, but after walking a few steps, he stopped and turned to go to the yamen.

When I was busy, I could never feel the passage of time. Fourth Master buried his head in the official document. When he looked up again, it was already dark outside.

The ninth master on the side couldn't help complaining: "Fourth brother, take a rest, if you go on like this, you will all be exhausted."

The fourth master looked sideways, and saw that the expressions of the third master, the ninth master and the tenth master were somewhat sluggish.

There is no way, Liu Yu has an accident now, and he is lost all day, and the officials in front of him are also investigating. First, I don't know who can be trusted.

The burden of Jinyang City naturally falls on the fourth master and several people, and it is necessary to understand the deployment as soon as possible.

"Then take a break, these dossiers will be finished in one day."

As soon as these words came out, the three immediately cheered.

The third master said: "the fourth, why don't we go to your place to eat in the evening? Let the younger brother and sister make some pots. I haven't eaten in a long time."

Jiuye nodded quickly: "yes, fourth brother, I've been thinking about it for several days."

The tenth master also nodded: "If you want to eat fish and meat pot, red soup pot is also fine. Now I just put some noodles in the pot, and my master also thinks it is very fragrant."

The fourth master glanced at the sky and said, "It's okay." He looked back at Su Peisheng and said, "Let's see if Jiu'er is asleep. If she is asleep, don't call her, ask An Luhai to prepare."

He turned around and said to the third master: "If it's too early today, we need to prepare the pot for a while, or should we all go back to rest first? Are you ready to send someone to call you."

Several people were indeed a little tired at the moment, so they nodded immediately.

The fourth master glanced at the third master: "third brother."

The third master walked out for a while, then looked back at the fourth master: "Ah? Is there something wrong?"

Fourth Master: "...It's fine. Be careful on the road."

The third master had a question mark on his forehead, but in the end he said, "Thank you." He turned his head and left.

Fourth Master went out of the yamen and paced slowly.

Today's moon is so bright that it shines on the snow, as if it were daytime, and the patterns on the clothes can be clearly seen.

"How is Liu Yu?"

Bu Yan replied immediately: "I eat dinner as usual, and I have been busy painting, so there is nothing unusual about it?"

Fourth Master nodded: "Where does he sleep?"

Bu Yan immediately pointed: "He lives in the main house."

The fourth master raised his foot and walked over.

The place where Liu Yu lives is actually not big, and most of the furnishings in the house are in pairs.

Even, the candlestick is still auspicious, and it looks like it has been used for decades, and the patent leather on it has fallen off.

"Master, I heard that this candlestick is still what he had when he got married. The old man in the house said that most of the objects in this room are from the past, and they have not been replaced except for those that are worn out."

Seeing that the fourth master was staring at the candlestick, Bu Yan explained and said, "There is a study next to it, and the portrait was taken by the servant in the study."

Fourth Master nodded slightly, turned and walked over.

As soon as he entered the house, he was stunned.

In this study, in addition to the documents and files on the desk, all the portraits are overwhelming, and without exception, all of them are his wife.

Either still or moving, or the red dress is flying, or the white clothes are quiet.There are even portraits of farming in old clothes and hats.

The portrait is so detailed that you can even see the tear mole at the end of the eye.

"Liu Yu's wife has been dead for more than [-] years, right?" the fourth master asked, but it was more like talking to himself.

He didn't answer: "The servant asked carefully, and he has passed away for 30 years."

Bu Yan had been to Liu Yu's room earlier, and after seeing such a scene, he vaguely seemed to understand the meaning of warm wine.

After a long time, the fourth master sighed: "Let's go."

When he turned around and was about to go out, he saw three heads looking inside from outside the door.

"Hehe, fourth child, we just came to take a look, take a look." The third master laughed dryly.

Since he was arrested, the third master, the ninth master and the tenth master immediately entered the house calmly.

"In the middle of the night, what is the fourth brother doing in the study if you don't sleep?" The tenth master said in a puzzled tone, then turned to pick up a portrait: "This woman has a normal appearance."

"What do you know?" The third master gave the tenth master a blank look: "This should be painted by Liu Yu, right?"

He picked up a portrait and looked at it carefully, his eyes gradually turning red.

He sighed: "This painting is really beautiful." Rubbing his red eyes, he carefully helped him roll up the portrait.

The ninth master and the tenth master were also shocked, not because they were shocked by the portrait, but at the fact that their third brother was crying! ! !
The fourth master's eyes fell on the third master. This was the second time he heard someone say this painting was beautiful, and it was also the second time that his eyes were red.

"Third brother, what do you think?"

The third master just shook his head and sighed: "what a pity, what a pity."

The fourth master was also anxious: "What do you mean? Did you say it?"

The ninth master and the tenth master also stretched out their heads curiously to see his third brother.
