"What's wrong?"
Rong Bailu just heard these three words and had a number in his heart. Fourth Master was indeed extraordinary to the young lady of the Ye family.
"There's no 'no', Ye Gu Niang has given birth to twins, a dragon and phoenix pair. The Ye family is overjoyed. They say they're going to have a big celebration. Brother thought to himself, this... should be told to Fourth Brother." Rong Bai Le smiled and said.
"Oh, Su Peisheng, tell Ye Shi about it." Fourth Master said.
Rong Bailu saw Siye notify Ye Zao and felt relieved, chatting and laughing with Siye.
I had lunch at home today.
He waited until he came out of the palace and then went to the Feng's house.
Feng Tianyun also saw him and hastily paid his respects.
Rong Bailan pulled Feng Tianyun: "Let's go, let's talk in your study."
In the study, Feng Tianyun saw Rong Bailu smiling and asked: "What's so happy about this?"
"First of all, let's talk about your family. Fourth Master is quite fond of your niece, I think he's spoiling her."
"Thank you, Prince Beile." Feng Tianyun said hastily.
"Hey, speaking of which, Fourth Brother has promised to find me a wife. I'm someone who lost my mother at the age of ten or so and now I've got an older brother like you - it's truly a blessing! That's the Emperor's own brother, after all! Never mind that, tonight I won't be leaving, let's just have a drink here."
Rong Bailu knows many people and has many friends who are of questionable character.
But there aren't many people who can really be serious about it.
"That's a great honor for my family." Feng Tianyun was also eager to make friends with this person, so he said happily.
In the mansion, Ye Zao received the news and first thanked the person who came from the front yard, then sat down to ponder.
"This is truly... auspicious." The legitimate dragon and phoenix twins.
That's enough to compare the children born out of wedlock to a yellow flower dish... Tsk, the legitimate mother is really good at giving birth.
"Girl..." A Yuan called out.
"Worrying is useless, the child has already been born. As for my elder brother, no matter what, he is still my biological older brother, there's no need to compare with others. If he doesn't have the ability, it doesn't matter if his mother gave birth or not, he will still live a poor life. As long as I have enough ability myself, even if another younger brother born from the same parents comes along, it won't affect me."
"Ah, the girl is right." A Yuan nodded.
"Now that I know about this, you tell me, should I give a gift?" Ye Zao asked, looking at her own fingernails.
"This... young lady isn't one who can easily go out, is she? And it's also not good for the young lady to ask about news, right?" Ah Yuan said with a smile.
"You said so, then I won't send it, how would I know about this? Oh?" Ye Zao blinked.
The master and servant laughed together in harmony.
In the evening, the Jin Yu Pavilion received the mountain goods sent by Rong Beile.
Stir-fried chestnuts, pine nuts and hazelnuts. At dinner time, there are also mountain mushrooms and wood ears. There is even a box of ginseng.
"This ginseng isn't very good, it doesn't have much age to it. Usually, it's just sliced up and given to the young ladies to make tea with." Xiangyu said with a smile.
"Keep it, I don't need such a big supplement now. Let's talk about it when I get sick in the future. Even if there is no expiration date, it's still good stuff." Wild ones are fine too.
"Ah, that rascal is finally going to be taken care of by the young lady." Amber said with a smile.
These things are all precious.
The girl has already received quite a bit here.
"What about Xiao Ting? Call him over and ask him if he's heard anything, see if there's any news today." Ye Zao said lazily.
Amber let out a soft cry and went out to look for Xiaotingzi.
After a while, he came back with peanuts in his arms.
"The slave had just given orders when the peanuts started making a ruckus, and then he carried them in."
Ye Zao nodded and then hugged Hua Sheng, starting to play with him.
Xiao Tingzi returned and knelt down to report: "There are some in the main courtyard, also some at Li's place, Gege and Song Gege have them too. The rest of the places don't have any."
"Hmm, you're still a scorpion's tail after all?" Unique one!
"The girl should be like this." said Xiao Tingzi with a smile.
"Alright, go take a rest, it's nothing." Ye Zao smiled and said.
The little pavilion sighed and smiled as she went out.
It's truly delightful for the young lady, and it's a great honor for Master to hold her in high esteem.
That night, Fourth Master went to Li's courtyard instead.
Li was overjoyed, but also felt a pang of sadness... her period had arrived.
However, after several months, Fourth Master refused to come, but now he has finally arrived, and Li is still busy welcoming him.
This good fortune is particularly low: "Give me a salute, also auspicious."
All the voices were choked with sobs, and it was also unpleasant for Siye to listen to.
"Get up, Second Brother is still in the front yard, where's Big Sister?" Fourth Master helped her up and said.
"Back...back to what Master said, Da Gege is tired from playing this afternoon and has fallen asleep." Li Shi got up, wiped away a tear, and smiled in response.
The fourth master looked at her for a few moments, then turned around and went inside with his hands behind his back.
Li didn't know that the fourth master was coming, and it was already late. After dinner, she changed into a casual home outfit, a pink padded jacket.
The hair was also loosely tied up, casual and warm.
She is quite different from her usual self in dressing up.
It's just that Fourth Master thinks that at times like these, being cold towards her would make her feel uncomfortable too.
This unintentional show of weakness is actually a misunderstanding.
However, Fourth Master's dislike for Li's family in his heart also decreased a lot.
After all, there are still two children, Fourth Master cannot ignore Li Shi forever.
After having tea, Li waited on Fourth Master to wash his hands before sitting down to talk.
"These times, I have thought a lot, it is indeed my fault, I couldn't tolerate others... From now on, I dare not again, Master... Please forgive me." Li Shi said with her head bowed and kneeling.
"Li, if you truly think so, I'll be relieved. You have Second Brother, Da Gege, and as the concubine of the manor, you will have your own status someday. From now on, don't compete with others or harbor evil intentions. Remember?" Fourth Master said seriously without calling out to anyone.
"Yes, I will take your instruction. From now on, I will definitely reform and be more respectful to the noble lady above and more considerate to the people below." Li also knelt straight and said.
"All right, get up." Siye said.
Li got up and smiled awkwardly: "Perhaps Master Xu didn't notice... I'm not very convenient to serve you today..."
Fourth Master nodded and thought to himself that in the past, Li had also been unable to attend to him at times, but she never mentioned it.
As expected, nowadays Li's descendants are timid and also know how to avoid taboos.
"Shall I... call Chang Shi to attend to me? She has been following me for a long time, she is a honest one." Li Shi said cautiously.
Actually wanted to recommend Gao Gege, but for a moment couldn't figure it out, Fourth Master's thoughts on Gao Gege were unclear, so didn't dare.
Fourth Master glanced at her several times: "You arrange it."
This Zhang person, Fourth Master doesn't have much impression of him. Good or bad, that's just how it is.
However, since I've come to the Li's place, I should at least give her some face. It was actually she herself who didn't dare keep Fourth Master here; if she had, he would have stayed too. Not doing that wouldn't be a big deal either.
