In front of Wuning's courtyard, a young eunuch with good eyes had long been waiting with his head poking his head. He saw the fourth elder brother and his party coming from a distance, and when he turned his head, he rushed to report like a rat.

Wu Ning heard the transmission and came out with a pearl chess set. She stood with her back to the lights in the room, her face could not be seen clearly, but her figure was Ping Ping Ting Ting.I personally lit a lantern in my hand and came to illuminate the fourth elder brother. The lantern glowed warm yellow in the twilight, directly illuminating the flowers and trees in the yard, making shadows faintly.

On the blue bricks next to the patio in the courtyard, an octagonal table was polished as clean as a mirror, almost shining on people, with sweet-scented osmanthus blooming and falling all around, and the night wind blowing, it is a dark fragrance, floating moon and dusk.

Several maids and maids stood by the table with their hands down. On the table were eight snack plates, a large cup of jasper and japonica rice porridge, a pot of bamboo shoots and ham, a pot of pear wine, and nothing else. Brother was taken aback, stood on the ground and said: "What? Do you want to eat here?".

Wu Ning waved his handkerchief, knelt down and said in a leisurely manner: "I have the courage to be the master, now the osmanthus is blooming just right, and it's a good time for neither cold nor hot, I see the moonlight tonight It's very clear and clear, thinking about being bored in the house, it's better to be here.".

The fourth elder brother heard her talk about the clear moonlight, raised his head, and saw the bright stars in the dark blue night sky, as if silver threads were running through a large piece of brocade, shining in it. The washed silver plate couldn't help but also became interested, brushed the hem of the robe, and sat on the stone bench.

The stone bench was wiped clean by Wu Ning's orders, and then placed with soft cushions.The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "You are very thoughtful, that's okay, let's have dinner here with you today!"

The eight plates on the table turned out to be eight authentic Beijing-style pastries, and what was put together was "Jing Ba Pieces", which are baked blessings filled with jujube paste, green plum, rose, red bean paste, banana, etc. Zizi cake, Luzi cake, Shouzi cake, Xizi cake, Taishi cake, silver ingot cake, rolled shortbread, jujube flower cake, etc.The shapes of dim sum are also made in the shapes of Ruyi, peach, apricot, kidney, jujube flower, lotus leaf, and oval according to the rules of the palace.

These cakes have auspicious meanings, such as blessing, salary, longevity, happiness, wealth and culture.Wu Ning was ingenious, instead of taking the traditional path of hot and cold vegetable soup, he came up with such folk delicacies to entertain the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother is used to fine clothes and fine food. Looking at these dim sums, he felt fresh. He took a lotus leaf-shaped dim sum and put it in his mouth. The dim sum looked extremely soft, but when he bit into it, there was a layer of crispy puff pastry on the outside. When the shell was inside, the stuffing flowed into the mouth as soon as the teeth were pressed hard, and the taste of wine was in the mouth, which was far from the expected sweet and greasy, so I couldn't help being a little surprised.

Wu Ning observed his expression, pointed to another plate, and said with a smile: "Master, why not try this again!" Seeing her rare smile, the fourth elder brother was a little dazed. According to her guidance, I took another dim sum from another plate. The skin of the dim sum was covered with a layer of green dumpling juice, but this time it tasted full of milk, it melted in the mouth, and it also had the sweet aroma of sandy honey. Crisp and fluffy.

Wu Ning personally put a bowl of bamboo shoots and ham in front of the fourth elder brother. The bamboo shoots in the soup were fresh and tender, and the ham had a pink luster. The knife skill was exquisite, and it was cut into balls the size of copper coins, floating in the sky blue porcelain bowl. Ups and downs, the soup is seasoned with chicken and abalone juice, but the oil is completely absorbed by the bamboo shoots.

Wu Ning said with a smile: "If you think the dim sum is too sweet, you can drink some soup. Although the soup is ordinary, it tastes very delicious."

The fourth elder brother nodded, drank a few sips of the bamboo shoot soup, felt that it was too salty, so he put it down, but pointed to the green rice porridge, Wu Ning understood, stood up and served some green rice porridge to the fourth elder brother, the porridge Not only jasper japonica rice, but also small amounts of corn, Beijing rice, purple rice, and job's tears are added. In addition, a layer of osmanthus petals is sprinkled as appropriate.

The fourth elder brother always eats abstinently, and even if he eats a meal that suits his appetite, he will not touch it again after a few mouthfuls. He put down his chopsticks, poured himself a glass of pear wine, held it up and smiled at Wu Ning. He poured a small glass of pear wine and drank it with the fourth elder brother.

The wine entered his throat, the fourth elder brother only felt that the wine was cold, and he was slightly taken aback: "What? Have you been frozen?".

Wu Ning explained: "My concubine felt that the wine was too sweet, and I was afraid that my master would not like it, so I asked the people in the dining room to freeze it with ice cubes in advance. If my master thought it was too cold, I also prepared hot wine.", Then he turned his head and said: "Pearl Chess!".

The fourth elder brother waved his hand to stop it and said: "No need, rough clothes and light food are enough for home, and it will be a clumsy life for a lifetime.".

Wu Ning was listening carefully, and when he saw it, he hurriedly left the table, got up and squatted down, and said, "Thank you for the compliment! While the master is happy, I dare to be bold, so I ask for a reward!".

This move was beyond the fourth elder brother's expectation, he put down his wine glass, looked at Wu Ning and said, "What do you want?".

Wu Ning pursed his lips and smiled: "The two poems that I just said are very good. I want to ask my master to give me ink to write down these two poems. I can hang them in my room."

The fourth elder brother couldn't help laughing, and said: "I made those two lines casually, very ordinary poems, if you like it, it's okay to write them for you." Then he stood up, walked to the sweet-scented osmanthus, held the branches and leaves with one hand, looked at the lights on the window paper, stroked the scars on the branches and leaves with his fingers, but fell into memory.

The fourth elder brother said after a while: "When you first entered the mansion, you were very cold-tempered and alienated from others. Now..." At this point, he looked back at Wu Ning with some joy, smiled slightly, and thought of the beginning of that year. The Wu family I saw: a moon-white dress, the color of the dress is cold, and the person is even colder. Under the pear tree, when I look back, the clothes are fragrant and my temples are shadowed.

The cold Wu Gege, the Wu Gege who rejects people thousands of miles away, the polite and alienated Wu Gege.

At the beginning, he liked the Wu family very much.

However, since he was a child, he was not a character who could chase after others with a shy face. The Wu family treated him so coldly, and after a long time, he also hid his thoughts.

But he didn't expect that when Wu Ning went back to his mother's house after being ill, he changed his temper!

Wu Ning heard that there was something different in the words of the fourth elder brother, turned his eyes slightly, and also tried to figure out the meaning of the fourth elder brother: could it be that the Wu family had always rejected the fourth elder brother in the past?

Regardless of how talented the fourth elder brother is, just in terms of identity: a little concubine Fujin has always resisted the dignified prince, living in a quiet place, away from troubles, what is the reason for this?

The fourth elder brother stared into the distance again and was fascinated, smiled and said: "Come on, let's go into the room to write!" Before Wu Ning could react, he had already held his hand and led him in.

Zhuqi's eyes, ears, mouth and nose became alert at this moment. Hearing that the fourth elder brother was going to write, he led his subordinates into the south wing to decorate. The south wing is a bright room with the most natural light.

A huge ginkgo tree in front of the window has been dyed golden yellow by autumn, and it is not a dazzling yellow. Thousands of ginkgo trees gather together to give a sense of brilliance.

Under the tree, there was also a thick layer of golden yellow leaves sparsely scattered on the ground. The eunuchs who were sweeping did not pay attention, and the leaves accumulated a thick layer. Birds landed on it, jumping and looking for it. Food, there was a "rustling" sound on the leaves.

The branches and leaves of the ginkgo tree are intertwined, like a pair of intimate lovers, and the gaps between the branches reveal the night.

The fourth elder brother looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, then turned his head and looked around the room.

Wuning's wing room is extremely concisely furnished, with pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the tables and tables.A yellowed Buddhist painting hangs on the west wall.The fourth elder brother walked forward and saw the male figure Avalokitesvara in the painting, dressed in white cassock, holding a dust whisk in his hand, sitting on the bodhi leaves.With beautiful eyes and long eyebrows, wide ears on one side, he has a graceful demeanor.The brushwork is so perfect that there is no trace to be found. There are a few lines of small characters on the top. The handwriting is elegant and has a strong character, but the color is very light. If you are not careful, you will almost ignore it. When he approached and read carefully, he could see Those are a few sentences from ordinary Buddhist scriptures, the handwriting is beautiful, it can be seen that it was written by a woman.

He never thought that Wu Shi would have such skill, so he couldn't help but glanced at her, and praised her sincerely: "Your skill in writing is really good.".

Wu Ning moved his lips. It was hard to say that this was drawn by the former "Wu Gege", so he nodded his head and smiled to prevaricate. The fourth elder brother was about to turn around, but he saw the picture, but signed his name at the end. "The landlord of the regret building respects the book".

Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and Bihai Qingtian is heartbroken every night.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen thought of this sentence for no reason, the smile on his face gradually faded, he turned to look at Wu Ning, and said indifferently: "Regret the landlord? What are you regretting?".

There was a buzzing sound in Wu Ning's mind, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. The fourth elder brother was originally suspicious.

Wu Ning heard that his voice was not good, looked up and saw that although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, there was no smile in his eyes at all.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen looked at himself condescendingly, as if he was a prisoner, Wu Ning also had some indescribable anger in his heart, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "If Hui Ye, this name is just a concubine. Yes, the so-called "sorry for writing new words", the concubine has very little knowledge in poetry and chapters, and can't come up with any good names. Such a pretentious, groaning without illness makes me laugh.".

For a moment the room was extremely quiet, only the sound of the two breathing, and the leaves falling outside the window, the fourth prince saw Wu Ning tilting his head slightly, with a sense of aggrieved expression on his face, a little bit of regret arose in his heart, and he doubted himself It's too much to make a big deal out of a molehill.So I went to the table, spread the paper and flicked a brush, started to write, stretched out the pen to dip the ink, but saw that the little ink remaining in the inkstone had been used up, the remaining dry and smooth, but it could not be dipped again.

The fourth elder brother raised his eyes to look at Wu Ning, Wu Ning walked over silently, and said in a low voice: "I am helping the master to grind the ink." As he spoke, he rolled up the cuffs of the flag, held the upper end of the ink ingot, and used it Inkstone drops poured a few drops of water into the inkstone and slowly ground it.

She rubbed it for a while, but felt that her wrists were sore, so she stopped, gently wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, and looked at the fourth elder brother, who was also looking at her, and the two eyes met, you and I were deadlocked After staring at each other for a long while, they suddenly felt that the two of them were a bit too childish, so they couldn't help but laughed lowly at the same time.
