Several people in the room were engrossed in the game, and no one noticed that the fourth elder brother was standing at the door. Zhuqi was facing the door of the room. Su Peisheng winked at her. , or Wu Ning was the first to catch a glimpse of the fourth elder brother. She was shocked immediately, stood up and said: "Greetings to... the master! Good luck to the fourth master!".

Several palace maids suddenly raised their heads, and only then did they see the fourth elder brother. They were so frightened that they fell to their knees. They all buried their heads and dared not lift up. The whole room was dead silent.The fourth elder brother saw Wu Ning's extremely happy appearance just now, and saw that everyone was so frightened that he didn't dare to show his breath. He felt that he had become a disappointment, so he raised his hand and said lightly: "Get up.".

Wu Ning raised his eyes and looked at him secretly, seeing that there was no disgust on his face, he was a little relieved, thinking that he was a little overbearing now, so he became restless.

The fourth elder brother smiled lightly: "What is this?" As he spoke, the person had already walked to the table and picked up a piece of cards. These crude things cannot enter the eyes of the master."

The fourth elder brother turned a deaf ear to it, looked at the playing cards carefully, and said: "It looks like a Western playing card, but the painting is exquisite!" Then he turned the playing card over and looked at it carefully, and said: "If you are bored, you might as well play with the leaves If you really like this kind of play, there are serious engraved and printed cards in the mansion, I will ask them to send you some tomorrow." Finally, he threw the cards on the table.

Zhuqi brought fragrant tea, the fourth elder brother picked up the teacup, took a sip, didn't speak, turned his head slightly, looked at Wu Ning, and said with a smile: "Do you want to rely on this for entertainment? We lived here Bored?".

Wu Ning hurriedly leaned forward and smiled, "Not boring! I'm a concubine..." She was thinking about how to explain it, but the fourth elder brother stretched out his hand and slowly pulled her in front of her, slightly raised his head and stared at her, Wu Ning Ning's face became hot when he saw him, and he couldn't help turning his head away. Zhuqi had already retreated out with a few court ladies.

Wu Ning lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with the fourth elder brother, so he had to rest on his hand.

The fourth elder brother's fingers are long and strong, and there are slightly thin calluses on the second finger in the middle of the food, which have been rubbed out with a brush for many years.Wu Ning cleared his throat, and was about to find something to say, when the fourth elder brother suddenly raised his hand, and stroked her right cheek with the pulp of his thumb, his eyes were extremely gentle.Wu Ning's eyes widened suddenly, and he instinctively wanted to back away, but then realized the identity of the person in front of him, and immediately froze on the spot.

Seeing her reaction like this, the fourth elder brother paused for a while, without any emotion in his voice, he said slowly, "Afraid of me?",

Wu Ning quickly shook his head, thought for a while, and felt that something was wrong, so he nodded again. Seeing that she nodded and shook her head again, the fourth elder brother saw that her appearance was quite funny, so she couldn't help laughing in a low voice. He looked at her and said, "Are you afraid or not? Or were you afraid before, but not now?".

Wu Ning's eyelashes trembled slightly, Yinzhen stared at her, suddenly raised his hand to clasp her chin, kissed her cheek brutally, then withdrew his hand suddenly, sat at the table, said with no expression but confidently: "I'm hungry .”

Wu Ning's heart was pounding, and he shouted: "Zhuqi!" After shouting twice, Zhuqi carefully lifted the curtain and poked his head in. Wu Ning was about to order the dining room to bring hot dishes , the fourth elder brother raised his hand and said: "Just order some hot porridge, it's lighter." Wu Ning was taken aback, and then realized that he must have eaten dinner elsewhere.

Now that you've even used your dinner, you come to yourself again?

It is self-evident what the fourth elder brother intends to do.

Wu Ning suddenly became unnatural.Zhuqi was so happy that his feet felt windy, directing a room of eunuchs and maids to turn around.

Wu Ning slowly grasped the fabric of the flag cloth beside him, and then let it go. On the other side, the eunuchs and maids carrying the food boxes had already walked in. Although the fourth elder brother ordered "light hot porridge", but How dare the dining room really only deliver this one?All kinds of delicate snacks and side dish sauces were spread all over the table. The fourth elder brother took a look and didn't say yes or no. He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.

After finishing his meal, the fourth elder brother began to look seriously at Wu Ning's bedroom.

Wu Ning's bedroom is furnished in a simple and elegant manner, especially on the east side of the room, several bookcases are joined together to form a natural barrier, just blocking the bed behind, and the books on the bookcase are sparsely arranged, setting off the whole The bookcase looked taller and darker, and the blackness was overwhelming, like the black mouth of a giant beast.The fourth elder brother glanced around, and said vaguely: "So I don't remember that you are such a book lover, you even have a bookcase in the bedroom, what do you usually read?".

Wu Ning thought for a while, and said: "I want to learn from Fujin and read more Buddhist scriptures, but my qualifications are limited, and my relationship with Buddhism is still shallow. So I only read some poems, which made me laugh."

The fourth elder brother heard her mentioning Fujin, his face paled a bit, and he said flatly: "Buddha saves people who are predestined, and fate is meaningless, so you don't need to underestimate yourself." After a pause, he said: "Who do you like to read? ".

Wu Ning thought about it for a while, and felt that this question was not important, so he told the truth: "Everyone in the world despises the late Tang Dynasty, but I really like the poems of a few late Tang poets, and I only feel that the whole text has a decadent beauty.".

The fourth elder brother laughed and said nothing, and his eyes fell on a guqin hanging beside the bookcase. Wu Ning followed his gaze and saw that there was no dust on the guqin, and the board was bright.Suddenly, I vaguely remembered that Yongzheng in history seemed to like the lyre very much, and wrote many poems related to the lyre, which have been passed down to the world.

Once Kangxi asked the third elder brother to lead the compilation of a music encyclopedia monograph, in which there were ambiguous questions about modulation. Emperor Kangxi personally said to the editor: "You can ask the fourth elder brother!" From this we can see that, The fourth elder brother's musical attainments should not be underestimated.

Wu Ning was thinking wildly, and his eyes fell on the fourth elder brother's hand. Sure enough, he saw faint grooves on the cover of his left thumb with worn strings.I couldn't help but praise in my heart: It's true that politics, literature and art are both correct...

The fourth elder brother held the chopsticks firmly in his hands, and he ate slowly, orderly, one bite at a time.

Not impatient, not procrastinating.

This person always seems to have the ability to control the overall situation without making a sound.

Wu Ning was a little lucky.

Fortunately, it was the woman next to the fourth elder brother who transmigrated. If she fell by the eighth elder brother's side, I don't know what will happen in the future!

At least the master in front of me will be a million miles away in the future, so there is no need to worry.

Just thinking about it, when he looked up and saw that the fourth elder brother had finished eating, Wu Ning put down his chopsticks, took the tea for rinsing mouth from Zhuqi himself, and handed it to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother raised his head, took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, Wu Ning brought the copper basin again, the fourth elder brother spit out the tea for rinsing his mouth, Wu Ning immediately sent a warm towel, the fourth elder brother printed the water on his face, Wu Ning bit the bullet and said: "Master, my concubine asked them to prepare the bathing things.".

The fourth elder brother nodded.He got up and walked to the rows of bookcases, stretched out his hand and took out a book, casually sat on the chair next to him and flipped through it, Wu Ning was too late to realize that something was wrong, and it was too late to stop it.

What the fourth elder brother is holding in his hand is Wu Ning's "diary", which contains a lot of mental experiences after time travel.For the sake of safety, she wrote very vaguely, not only using simplified characters, but also marking many places in English.

The fourth elder brother read a few pages, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked up at Wu Ning in surprise. After a while, he turned his gaze back to examine, looked down at the scroll in his hand, and said slowly: "Do you know the characters of foreigners?".

Wu Ning calmed down, lowered his head and replied: "When I was in my boudoir, I had a good sister, because her family cleared a foreign doctor, so I was lucky enough to get in touch with some." With no doubts on his face, he turned a few more pages and said, "Do you still remember it now?" Wu Ning hurriedly said, "I only remember a few, and almost forgot everything else."

The fourth elder brother glanced at her, raised the book in his hand, and said: "You don't have to be too humble, you can't be regarded as a 'little bit'".

Wu Ning didn't dare to develop the topic any further, bowed his body and replied: "My concubine's qualifications are dull, learning these Western characters is a struggle, not to mention, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and my concubine still loves women's red embroidery the most. .”

The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said jokingly: "Really?" While talking, he picked up another book, and was about to continue talking, when he saw the words "The Analects of Confucius" on the cover of the book, his eyes suddenly changed After a pause, he suddenly stopped.He lifted his feet out of the main room and entered the bathing room, seeing that hot water had already been prepared behind the screen, and the mist was steaming, Wu Ning was following behind him, seeing this scene, he stopped involuntarily.

The fourth elder brother stopped in his tracks, glanced at Wu Ning who seemed a little nervous, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said, "Just stay outside.".

Wu Ning bowed his head and said: "It is my duty to serve the Lord." He rolled up his arms and sleeves as he spoke, and the fourth elder brother looked at her with dim eyes.

There was a splashing sound of water, and herbs were added to the water, giving it a bitter fragrance and elegant taste.Wu Ning was holding a towel by the tub to help the fourth elder brother scrub.

According to the rules, the towel that has been wiped once must not enter the bathtub again.

On the long table on the other side of the bathtub, there are at least dozens of white, clean and soft towels, each of which has been scented, and the used ones are placed in the wooden barrel on the other side.

The maids kept coming in to heat the water, keeping the water temperature in the tub. The fourth elder brother liked hotter temperatures, so the person who added the water was in a hurry.

Wu Ning held the towel in his right hand, and held the edge of the tub with his left hand, struggling to help the fourth elder brother scrub. The fourth elder brother was facing her, with a lean figure and broad shoulders. The water droplets rolled slightly on the muscles of his back. On the barrel, he closed his eyelids slightly, looking at Wu Ning through the thick water vapor.
