Fourth Master's Pearl

Chapter 22

Yin Xiang happily stepped forward, saluted politely and greeted him first, and said with a smile: "fourth brother, the younger brother is looking forward to you, fourth brother. How is fourth brother?"

Yinzhen and Yinxiang held hands, shook hands firmly, and said with a smile, "Very good."

Chu Qing stared at Yin Xiang intently, he was half or half like Si Si, except that his face was tougher and his skin color was slightly darker.They are about the same height, but their figure is stronger than that of Sisi.Standing facing each other, his gestures reveal a refreshing and heroic demeanor.

Yinxiang also looked at Chuqing.With pink makeup and jade carvings, a pair of smiling eyes are bent into a crescent shape.There is a lovely dimple on Dudu's tender cheeks.

Yinxiang bent down and smiled, "little girl, who are you?"

Chuqing immediately liked Yinxiang's easy-going attitude, so she joked with him, "I won't tell you." After speaking, she pulled Yinzhen's clothes and hid behind his back.

Yinzhen patted her and said, "I have to be disciplined. Please greet me."

Yinxiang looked at Yinzhen slightly surprised.His fourth brother's tone of comfort just now was contrary to his style of not allowing people around him to ignore rules and etiquette.

Chuqing came out with a smile again to say hello.

"Chu Qing pays respects to Uncle Thirteen, Uncle Thirteen is auspicious! Uncle Thirteen is really like the legendary jade tree facing the wind, chic and suave, with a broad mind and strong arms——" Chu Qing read out smoothly, shaking her head A string of sublines.

Yinxiang's mouth opened slightly in embarrassment.Yinzhen sighed and said, "Thirteenth brother..."

Yinxiang quickly recovered his status.

"Fourth brother, is this...?"

"Chuqing is the little niece you have never met. She was born of the Crown Princess. Now she is being taken care of by Fujin in my residence."

Yinxiang was startled, and looked at his fourth brother's face, as usual.

Chuqing listened impatiently to her own identity again, and did not forget to emphasize: "Anyway, I am not Si Si's daughter."

Yinzhen's eyes fluttered and then returned to silence.

Yinxiang looked at his fourth brother in surprise again, what is "four four" called?
Yinzhen obviously had no intention of explaining, and said, "I'm a little tired after walking for a while."

Only then did Yinxiang hurriedly take his fourth brother and his eccentric little niece to sit down in the pavilion.

Chuqing first looked at the plaque on the pavilion, "The breeze accompanies the moon".It is an extremely elegant and moving simple four words, and a scroll of freehand brushwork seems to have been rolled out in front of my eyes.The spirit of the owner can be seen.Chu Qing nodded her head in appreciation.

As soon as she walked into the Qingfeng Pavilion, Chuqing smelled the lingering fragrance of wine.Looking at the ground, there is indeed a small stove with wine boiling on it.On the long table is a sapphire plate with chrysanthemum patterns, which contains several pastries, and there are also two frozen stone wine glasses.

After sitting down.

"Fourth brother, first drink a cup of hot wine to escape the cold." Yinxiang picked up the hot Yuquan wine and poured it for Yinzhen.

"Uncle Thirteen, what about me?" Chu Qing raised her hand like a primary school student asking a question.

Yinxiang looked at this little niece who didn't recognize her life at all and was not restrained at all with a smile, and said, "Do you want to drink too?"

"Yes!" Chuqing said as a matter of course, "Chuqing is also cold."

Yinzhen's voice was neither high nor low, "Chu'er."

The power of the faint words is infinite, Chu Qing automatically covered her forehead to prevent being attacked.

Yinzhen laughed, and said, "Do you also know that this is the right thing to do?"

Chu Qing pouted.Abdominal slander: the big bully the small, can't get enough to eat.If you don't wear warm clothes, you can't drink well!

Yinzhen pointed to the small dish and said, "Don't you want some snacks?"

Chu Qing had seen it earlier, and said, "You won't let me eat what I want. These are specially prepared by Uncle Thirteen for Si Si, and they are all your favorites."

Yinxiang smiled and said, "What does Xiaoqing want to eat? Uncle Thirteen asked someone to do it."

"Brother Thirteen doesn't need to worry about her. She has always been like this."

Chuqing muttered, as if you know people well.

Thirteen Fujin brought people over and presented several steaming dishes.One of them is simmering deer tendon in a casserole, which is still bubbling and bubbling.

"Master, drink and talk freely, and don't forget to eat some vegetables. It is important to cherish blessings and take care of yourself." Thirteen Fujin said with a smile.

Yinxiang said to the Thirteenth Fujin: "Fourth brother wants to say something important to me, you push the servants away, and take Xiaoqing to wander around in the garden."

After speaking, she said to Chuqing: "There are some good plum blossoms in Uncle Thirteen's garden, do you want to go and have a look?"

Chuqing looked at Yinzhen, knew that they were going to discuss something, nodded and clapped her hands with a smile, "Okay! I want to fold everything and put it in the bottle!"

Yinxiang laughed and said, "Xiaoqing, why don't you leave a few branches for Uncle Shisan to keep you company, okay?"

"Okay, no problem!" Chuqing said boldly and generously.

Thirteen Fujin nodded to Chuqing, and Chuqing jumped over and followed.

Yinxiang's garden is very spacious, and there are not too many flowers and trees in the garden. Except for the cold green pines and cypresses, the ancient locust trees and pomegranate trees that have lost their leaves, the most conspicuous ones are a dozen pots of Suxin plum blossoms.The branches are blooming, and Ling Han sends incense.Stretch the pride of a cold winter under the thin blue sky.

The diameter of the flower pot is about one meter, taller than Chu Qing.The basin is covered with a wooden platform and tied with dry straw to protect the plum blossoms in winter.

Thirteen Fujin took Chu Qing by the arm and smiled, "These are your Uncle Thirteen's precious plum blossoms, which means that Xiao Qing has a lot of face. Xiao Qing can break whichever branch she likes."

Chuqing wrinkled her small nose and breathed in the cold fragrance, standing under the branches of plum blossoms and looking up.The peach blossom eyes are glistening and watery, and the bottom is pure and clear.The corners of the mouth raised involuntarily, looking obsessed.

Chu Qing recited word by word: "Three points of chivalry reward a confidant, and a heart of love goes to plum blossoms."

Flowers are good flowers, and people are even better.All are worth a reward.

Thirteen Fujin gently patted Chu Qing's head, and said: "Xiao Qing can recite poems, she is really a smart little person."

Chu Qing smiled and glanced at Thirteen Fujin, thinking: What a kind-hearted Gu Liang.

"Fu Jin has won the prize." Chu Qing was more polite when she went out as a guest, and she did not forget to be modest.

After looking at it for a long time, I carefully considered the selection, and finally settled on a branch with the charm of sparse shadows and horizontal slanting.Thirteenth Fujin called someone to help cut it out, and Fujin's accompanying maid was holding the beautiful shrugging jasper bottle.Thirteen Fujin took the plum blossoms from the servant and looked at them carefully, and then showed them to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing nodded with a smile, stretched out her finger and lightly touched the even and soft petals.

"It's so beautiful."

The plum blossoms were inserted into the bottle, and Thirteen Fujin ordered someone to fill them with water: "Remember to keep the water lukewarm."

The man came back after a while, and Thirteen Fujin reckoned that the two masters had almost finished chatting, so he led Chuqing back.

In the Qingfeng Pavilion, Yinzhen is playing chess with Yinxiang.Both of them like to play chess, and their chess skills are comparable.Yinzhen's success lies in his careful thinking and orderliness, while Yinxiang is good at winning by surprise and turning the situation around.

The two brothers each have their own strengths, so they often spend most of the afternoon enjoying a game of chess.

Yinzhen was concentrating on holding the white jade chess piece between his fingers, when Chuqing sneaked over and circled behind him bit by bit.Yin Xiang watched the development of the situation with great interest.Chu Qing made a "shh" gesture at him.Yinxiang blinked to indicate receipt.

"Being upright is the habit of a gentleman; being sneaky is the nature of a villain." Yinzhen said casually without raising his head.

Chuqing's action plan was clearly exposed, but she still covered Yinzhen's eyes with a "swish", and said with a smile: "It's hard to raise a gentleman and a villain."

Yinxiang couldn't hold his palm anymore, so he burst into a smile.He clenched his fist again and put it to his mouth, coughing and coughing endlessly.

"Guess who I am?" Chu Qing asked persistently.

Yinzhen took Chuqing's small palm and said flatly, "I'm getting more and more foolish."

Chuqing took advantage of the situation and lay on Yinzhen's back, looked at the chessboard over his shoulder, made a perceptive expression, nodded and said: "Well, good chess."

Yinxiang first smiled at his fourth brother's calm performance, and then heard what Chuqing said, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, who do you think will win this game of chess?"

Chu Qing said without thinking, "Four Four!"

The quick reaction made Yinxiang slightly startled, and then asked with a smile: "Oh? How did Xiaoqing see it?"

Chu Qing smiled and said, "You don't need to watch, Chu Qing hopes to win four or four."

Yinzhen smiled slightly.Smiles are like the breeze blowing goose feathers, very small.

Yinxiang made an aggrieved expression, and said: "So that's the case, Uncle Thirteen is so sad to hear that."

Chuqing waved her hand righteously, "It's okay, it's okay, Uncle Thirteen, if you lose, I'll give Uncle Thirteen a consolation prize!"

Yin Xiang was curious, and asked with a smile, "What consolation prize?"

Chuqing tilted her head and thought briefly, "Kiss Uncle Thirteen." If Chunhua was here, her understanding of her master's stinginess must have been raised to a higher level.
