Four Lords dote on his wife daily
Chapter 46
On the third day after fourth master came to Zhuangzi, Mingxi dragged him to plant vegetables in the field.He refused at first, but couldn't stand Mingxi's begging and acting like a baby, and finally agreed softly to grow vegetables with her.
At this time, Fourth Master and Ming Xi were both wearing coarse clothes and straw hats, with their sleeves and trousers rolled up, bending over to plant tomato seedlings.
Ming Xi has the most experience in growing tomatoes.In her previous life, she had planted several pots of tomatoes on the balcony of her home.
Tomatoes are not only edible, but also used as ornamental potted plants.When the tomatoes are ripe, they are beautifully red.
Mingxi's favorite vegetable is tomato, whether it is eaten raw or cooked, it is very delicious, and the most important thing is that it is rich in vitamins.
Fourth Master was reluctant at first, but soon after he went to the field, he felt the fun, and followed Mingxi to plant tomatoes seriously.
"By the way, Lord, let's plant tomatoes in flowerpots." Ming Xi suddenly remembered that she liked to plant tomatoes in flowerpots in her previous life. Not only are they edible, but they are also beautiful.
"Yes." Tomatoes were originally used as ornamental plants, not as food.Later, it was discovered that it could be eaten.
"Master, you can plant a few pots of tomatoes. When they are ripe, you can bring them to the palace and give them to the emperor and the concubine." Ming Xi thinks this is a good idea.
The fourth master thought that Kangxi seemed to like eating tomatoes, and felt that Mingxi's suggestion was not bad.As for Er Niang... If he gave Er Niang a few pots of tomatoes, maybe it would make Er Niang hate him, so forget it.
"Grandpa, let me tell you, there are many ways to eat tomatoes." At this time, there are not many tomato meals.Ming Xi introduced to the fourth master in detail, "Tomato egg soup and tomato scrambled eggs are what we often eat, and of course raw tomatoes."
Fourth Master responded cooperatively: "En."
"Stir-fried shrimp with tomato, fried eggplant with tomato, stewed tofu with tomato, stewed beef brisket with tomato, stewed noodles with tomato, beef soup with tomato, etc." Ming Xi mentioned many tomato-related dishes in one breath, making her salivate. "The most important thing is that tomatoes can be made into sauce. Tomato sauce is very delicious." When the tomatoes are ripe, she must ask the cook in the house to make tomato sauce from the tomatoes.
This is the first time Si Ye heard that there are so many ways to eat tomatoes. The taste of tomatoes is sour. Are these dishes edible?
"Suddenly I really want to eat tomatoes." Tomatoes are not cheap at this time. Like cucumbers, they are "luxury goods" among vegetables, and ordinary people cannot afford them.Her family's conditions are not very good, and she seldom eats tomatoes. There are a hundred ways to eat tomatoes, which cannot be realized at home.However, it is different now, she can realize a hundred ways to eat tomatoes.
"Sweet and sour, what's so delicious?" Fourth Master doesn't like tomatoes very much, he thinks the taste of tomatoes is weird.
"Grandpa, tomatoes are delicious, but you haven't eaten them well before." Ming Xi said with a smile, "When the tomatoes are ripe, I will show you a hundred ways to eat them, so that you will fall in love with them completely."
Fourth master looked suspicious: "Really?"
"Grandpa, just wait."
Next, the two transplanted the tomato seedlings into flower pots.
After a busy day, the two finally planted tomato seedlings.
There were ten pots of tomatoes transplanted into flower pots at the entrance of Yuexi Pavilion, Si Ye and Ming Xi each transplanted five pots.
"Now wait for it to mature and bear fruit." If it is planted in summer, it will take about forty days to mature and bear fruit.Forget it, we will be able to eat tomatoes at the end of August. "Master, I'm right, isn't it fun to grow your own vegetables?"
"A great way to pass the time."
"When the tomatoes are ripe and bear fruit, you will feel a sense of accomplishment in your heart."
"Maybe." I really didn't see that this girl was so good at growing vegetables.
"You will realize it when the time comes." When she had nothing to do in her previous life, she liked to grow some vegetables in flowerpots.
Fourth master raised his hand and gently tapped Mingxi's little head, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You are the only one with a lot of tricks." I really didn't see that this girl had such a side.
Ming Xi cast a sideways glance at Fourth Master: "Master, this is what I call living."
Fourth Master still agrees with Ming Xi's words, this girl knows how to live her own life.In the whole mansion, she is the only one who lives her little life very easily and comfortably, which is why he likes to go to her place.Because in her presence, he would unknowingly relax and feel very comfortable.
"Master, do you think I'm very virtuous?" Ming Xi winked at Fourth Master ambiguously, "Have you discovered another advantage of me?"
Hearing this, Fourth Master couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and gently pinched Ming Xi's face: "No."
When Ming Xi heard fourth master say this, she gave him a hard look: "Master, I seriously doubt your eyes." She is so virtuous and knows how to live, she can't find it even with a lantern.
Fourth Master raised his hand and tapped Ming Xi's forehead, with a rather helpless expression: "You..." However, his eyes were full of doting.
"Master, Gege, it's time for dinner."
"Let's go eat."
While eating, Ming Xi suddenly thought of a good idea, and his eyes immediately became sparkling: "How can we not eat barbecue in summer?!" A summer without skewers and beer is not a real summer.
"barbecue?"
"It's barbecue." Ming Xi looked at Fourth Master with glowing eyes, "Master, let's have barbecue tomorrow." It doesn't matter if there is no beer in this era, you can use fruit wine or other wines instead.
Fourth master doesn't like to eat barbecue very much. One is that the barbecue has a burnt smell, and the other is that the barbecue has a smell of mutton, which is not delicious.
"Eat it yourself."
"Grandpa, don't you like barbecue?"
Fourth Master nodded gently: "En."
"Grandpa, the barbecue I made tomorrow is very delicious, you will definitely like it." After dinner, she drew out the barbecue tools and asked Zhuangzi's people to make them.
"Really?" Fourth master wasn't interested.
After dinner, Ming Xi followed Fourth Master to the study.
Fourth Master was reading, and Ming Xi was drawing barbecue tools.
"What are you drawing?" Fourth Master pointed to a rectangular box that Ming Xi had just drawn.
"This is a barbecue stove. Put the charcoal in it, then put a barbecue skewer on top of the stove, and put the things to be roasted on the skewer."
Fourth Master slightly raised his brows: "Grilling meat with charcoal?" This is the first time I've heard of this way of eating.
"That's right, grilling meat with charcoal will taste good." Ming Xi said with a smile, "Master, tomorrow you will know that I didn't lie to you."
Mingxi called Zhang Dashan and handed him the barbecue tool she had just drawn, and asked him to have someone make it tomorrow, and she wanted barbecue tomorrow night.
"Don't worry, Ge Ge, this barbecue tool is very simple, and it will definitely be made before tomorrow night."
"That's good." Ming Xi suddenly thought that there is no shortage of wine when eating barbecue, "Butler Zhang, is there any fruit wine in the village?" The fruit wine has a low alcohol content, so it's not easy to get drunk.
"Yes, there are plum wine, pomegranate wine, plum wine, and wine." Zhang Dashan asked, "Ge Ge, which one do you want to drink?"
"Plum wine and wine bar."
"Ok."
After Zhang Dashan left, Fourth Master asked, "Why do you want to drink?" Fourth Master didn't like drinking very much, and basically didn't drink in the mansion.
"Grandpa, you have to drink alcohol when you eat barbecue, otherwise it's not interesting." Skewers and beer are more suitable, but there is no beer, so they can only replace it with fruit wine on the spot. "I know you don't like drinking, but fruit wine is not considered real wine, and you won't get drunk if you drink too much."
"You have a lot of fallacies." It was the first time he had heard of such a thing before eating barbecue.
Ming Xi stretched out her index finger and shook her head lightly: "Master, you don't understand, this is the truth!" On summer evenings, sitting on the side of the road with a few friends, drinking skewers and chatting about various gossips. most comfortable.She really misses the days when she had a drink with her friends in her previous life, but it's a pity that there will never be such a day again.
Fourth Master laughed angrily at Ming Xi's words: "I don't understand, do you understand?"
"Master, tomorrow night you will know what I said is right."
At noon the next day, Mingxi's barbecue tools were ready.
Ming Xi asked Zhang Dashan to prepare some vegetables and some meat, and then put them on a skewer.
In the evening, Mingxi asked Little Pigeon and the others to put the charcoal that had been burnt into the barbecue stove, and then put the barbecue skewers on the stove.
Fourth Master walked to the courtyard and saw Ming Xi standing in front of the stove with a piece of cloth wrapped around her head, her sleeves rolled up, and wearing strange clothes.
"What are you doing?"
Ming Xi waved the brush in his hand, and smiled brightly at Fourth Master: "Master, I'll grill meat for you myself, what do you want to eat, mutton, pork, or beef?"
Seeing Mingxi's weird outfit, Fourth Master frowned dissatisfiedly: "What do you look like, let the servants do it?"
"Master, they don't know how to do it." Ming Xi patted her chest and said with a smile, "Master, don't worry, my craftsmanship is pretty good, and I won't make you have diarrhea."
The fourth master was amused by Mingxi's last sentence: "If the master eats up his stomach, I will ask you." This girl's tone is really serious.
"No problem." Ming Xi said with a smile, "Master, I will make you fall in love with barbecue."
"That's right, Master is waiting." Seeing Ming Xi's energetic look, Fourth Master did not stop her anymore, it was rare to see this girl in such high spirits.
"Okay." Ming Xi first used a brush to brush a layer of oil on the meat skewers, and then put them on the barbecue skewers for grilling.
Si Ye sat aside, watching Ming Xi's movements with great interest.Seeing her proficient movements, I couldn't help being a little surprised, this girl really knows how to do it.
Ming Xi first grilled the chicken wings for Fourth Master, and after the chicken wings were cooked, brushed them with a special sauce.
Fourth master could not help but move his index finger when he smelled the aroma of barbecue.
Ming Xi brought the grilled chicken wings to Fourth Master, and said with a treasure: "Grandpa, try it."
The fourth master saw that Mingxi had tested the chicken wings to a golden color, and disliked the oil a little too much, but seeing Mingxi's expectant eyes, he picked up a piece of chicken wing and took a bite. Immediately, a meaty smell filled the entire mouth, and the spicy taste stimulated the taste buds.
"Master, how does it taste?" Ming Xi looked at Fourth Master nervously.
With something in his mouth, fourth master couldn't speak, so he nodded slightly.Unexpectedly, the chicken wings grilled by this girl are delicious, the skin is burnt and the meat is tender.
Ming Xi's eyes suddenly became bright, and then he picked up a piece of chicken wing and took a bite, his eyes opened very wide: "It's delicious!"
Fourth Master finished a grilled chicken wing gracefully, and praised: "It's grilled well."
After being praised by the fourth master, Ming Xi's face instantly became smug: "I said it was delicious, sir, do you believe it now?"
"En." This kind of charcoal-grilled meat tastes better than fire-grilled meat.
"I'll go ahead and bake."
"Ge Ge, this servant will help you." Aunt Zhou and the others have long been drooling from the taste of barbecue. They didn't expect Ge Ge to have such a skill.
"Okay."
Next, Ming Xi told Aunt Zhou and the others the secret of how to barbecue, and then acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, sitting with Fourth Master to eat barbecue.
Ming Xi stood up, raised her wine glass to Fourth Master, and said with a smile: "Master, I would like to toast you, thank you for always pampering me, thank you for always being so kind to me!"
Fourth Master looked at Ming Xi with a grin, stood up and raised his wine glass and lightly touched the wine glass in Ming Xi's hand.
"kindness."
Ming Xi raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, very simply.
"Grandpa, I'm done drinking."
There was a hint of helplessness in fourth master's eyes, he slightly raised his head and finished drinking the wine in his hand.
"Grandpa, let me toast you again."
Ming Xi toasted the fourth master three glasses of wine in a row, and the fourth master drank all of them with dignity.
"This plum wine tastes good." Sweet and sour.
"No one is robbing you, drink slowly."
"Happy today." Ming Xi smiled at Fourth Master, "So I want to drink more." In the ten years since I came to the Qing Dynasty, I have never been so relaxed and comfortable as this evening. Drinking skewers, it seems that I have returned to my previous life in an instant.
Seeing Mingxi's hesitant childlike smile on Mingxi's face, fourth master couldn't help but feel better.What happened to this girl tonight, why is she so happy, just because she ate this barbecue?
"Master, let's not go home if we don't get drunk tonight." I really want to get drunk as much as I can.
Fourth Master frowned slightly, disapproving of Ming Xi's proposal.
Seeing Fourth Master's disapproval, Ming Xi stuck out her tongue mischievously at Fourth Master: "I forgot that Master doesn't like to get drunk, so can I be drunk?"
"Don't you like getting drunk?"
"I'm in a good mood tonight, I want to get drunk."
Fourth master raised his brows slightly, and wanted to get drunk when he was in a good mood. What's the reason?Shouldn't it be because you are in a bad mood that you want to get drunk?
Ming Xi blinked her big eyes, and looked at Fourth Master coquettishly: "Master, are you okay?" After finishing speaking, she added, "With Master by my side, I can get drunk with confidence."
Hearing what Ming Xi said, Fourth Master nodded slightly: "Only this time." When this girl wakes up tomorrow, she will probably have a headache, and she will scream again at that time.
Seeing that Fourth Master agreed, Ming Xi immediately rushed towards him, and kissed him hard on the lips: "Master is the best, thank you!"
Fourth Master raised his hand and patted Ming Xi's back, and said helplessly, "Don't complain about having a headache tomorrow."
"We'll talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow." Ming Xi said with a smile, "I'll be drunk tonight."
Seeing that Ming Xi was so interested, Fourth Master couldn't bear to refuse her: "Drink."
While drinking, Ming Xi told Fourth Master about her childhood.
While eating barbecue, fourth master quietly listened to what Mingxi said about her childhood.
Although the alcohol content of fruit wine is not high, you will get drunk if you drink too much.Ming Xi intentionally made herself drunk and kept drinking.
After drinking for a while, she finally got drunk as she wished, but not very drunk.
Ming Xi stood up unsteadily, put her hands on the table in front of her, and looked at Fourth Master with sparkling eyes: "Master, can I sing you a folk song?" Two days ago, Ming Xi and Fourth Master picked lotus. At that time, the fourth master was sung by a local girl to confess his love, and Mingxi has always been brooding in his heart.
Seeing that Ming Xi's face was flushed and her eyes were hazy, fourth master knew that she was drunk. "You can sing folk songs?" Unexpectedly, this girl still cared about the fact that he was sung by a local girl two days ago.
Ming Xi nodded: "Yes, I sing folk songs very well. I learned them in Horqin when I was young."
"Then you can sing."
Mingxi coughed twice, cleared her throat, and began to sing: "The sun is rising, my good brother, where are you..."
Mingxi sang Mongolian folk songs, naturally in Mongolian.This folk song is called "My Good Brother". It is a song for Mongolian girls to express their hearts to their beloved boys.
The lyrics of this folk song are simple and straightforward, and the tune is melodious and pleasant.
Ming Xi looked at Fourth Master burningly while singing this folk song.
Fourth master can understand Mongolian, so he can understand the meaning of this folk song.He looked at Mingxi with a deep and dangerous gaze.
Ming Xi, who was drunk, naturally couldn't detect the strangeness of Fourth Master, and still sang folk songs affectionately to Fourth Master.
Fourth Master poured himself a glass of fruit wine, drank it calmly, and continued to pretend to be calm while listening to Mingxi singing folk songs.
"My dear brother, I want to gallop on the grassland with you..." After Ming Xi finished singing, she staggered up to Fourth Master and asked with a blushing face, "Master, do I sing well? "
A faint light flashed in Fourth Master's eyes, he stretched out his hand to pull Mingxi into his arms, let her sit on his lap, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, and looked at her with burning eyes: "It sounds good."
When Ming Xi heard Fourth Master say that, his eyes became sparkling: "Really?"
"Tell me, what does this folk song mean?" Fourth Master's index finger gently rubbed Ming Xi's delicate lips.
Ming Xi blinked, and then said with a proud face: "Master, don't you understand Mongolian?"
Fourth Master said without blushing without panting, "I don't understand!"
Mingxi heard fourth master say this, and laughed coquettishly: "It turns out that master can't understand Mongolian."
Fourth Master's eyes became deep: "Tell Master, what does the song you sing mean?"
Ming Xi said proudly: "This folk song is called "My Good Brother". It's about a girl expressing her feelings to the boy she likes, hoping that the boy will accept her feelings."
"En?" Fourth Master's voice was a little hoarse, he lowered his head and rubbed Ming Xi's nose, "Are you expressing your heart to Master?"
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "Yes, I like Master."
When Fourth Master heard Ming Xi's words, his throat tightened, and his voice became even deeper: "What do you like about Master?"
"I like my grandfather's good looks."
When the fourth master heard this, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he laughed in a low voice: "You just like how good-looking you are?"
"No." Ming Xi sat in Fourth Master's arms, said with fingers, "Master is not only good-looking, but also very gentle and considerate."
Fourth Master did not expect that he was a gentle and considerate person in Mingxi's heart, which surprised him, after all, no one had ever used the word gentle and considerate to describe him.
"Master is still very kind to me." Ming Xi tilted her head and looked at Fourth Master with a smile, "So, I like Master the most."
Fourth Master's heart swelled when he heard this confession.
"However," Ming Xi frowned slightly, with dissatisfaction showing on her small face, she pursed her red lips and said, "I don't belong to you alone, I can't like you too much."
"Why can't you like Grandpa too much?"
"Because I have other women." Ming Xi said unhappily, "So I can't like you too much, otherwise I will..."
"what can you do?"
Ming Xi did not answer Fourth Master's question, but continued to follow what she said just now: "I dare not like Master too much."
Fourth Master reached out and caressed Ming Xi's bright red face, and gently coaxed, "Why not?"
"Afraid of getting hurt." She is not someone who can't afford to love. Once she likes someone, she will not hesitate to like her with her sincerity. Even if she gets hurt, she can let it go.However, Fourth Master is not an ordinary person. He has many women and will become the emperor in the future. Summarizing the experience of watching TV dramas in his previous life, the end of falling in love with the emperor is usually miserable.
After hearing this, fourth master felt as if his heart had been stabbed severely by a needle, and it hurt very much.
"Master doesn't belong to me alone, I'm afraid he won't want me in the future..." Before Ming Xi finished speaking, she yawned, tilted her head, and fell asleep leaning against Fourth Master's arms.
Looking at the person in his arms, Fourth Master's mood was very complicated. He didn't expect this girl to have such deep affection for him, and he didn't expect this girl to be afraid that he would not want her. How...why is she so stupid? !
"Don't dare to like it too much..." These words made fourth master very distressed.
Fourth Master lowered his head and pecked Mingxi's lips lightly, and said softly, "What a stupid girl!"
Ming Xi leaned against Fourth Master's arms, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Fourth Master stretched out his arms to pick up Mingxi, and went back to the house.
"Master, let the servants take care of Gege to wash up."
"Get the hot water ready."
"Yes, master."
The fourth master bathed Mingxi himself, and Mingxi woke up during the bath, looked at him in a daze, and called softly: "Master~~~"
"woke up?"
Ming Xi rubbed fourth master's face, pouted and said, "Master, I'm so dizzy and sleepy..."
"Sleep when you're tired."
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "Okay."
This time, fourth master did not exercise with Mingxi in the bathtub, but bathed Mingxi very gently.
After taking a shower, he dried Ming Xi's body and hair again.
After being drunk, Ming Xi is very obedient, neither noisy nor disturbed.
When Fourth Master dried Mingxi's hair, seeing Mingxi lying in his arms with a peaceful face, his heart softened unknowingly.
"Don't worry, Master will never want you." This girl is so dependent on him, how could he have the heart not to want her. "So, please like me a lot."
Ming Xi, who was asleep, heard Si Ye's words, and complained in her heart, Si Ye can't be so greedy, if you want me to like you more, you have to like me more, otherwise I wouldn't do this kind of thing Things at a loss.
Fourth Master waited for Ming Xi to take a bath before going to take a bath.
After taking a bath, Fourth Master lay on the bed, stretched out his hand and hugged Mingxi tightly in his arms, with a care he never had.
After Fourth Master fell asleep, Ming Xi, who had been asleep for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Fourth Master in the dark.
Her drunken confession should have touched fourth master.
To be honest, she was a little drunk at first, and then sang "My Good Brother" uncontrollably. After singing, she was a little sober, and then followed Si Ye's words and confessed the truth after drinking.
She liked fourth master, but not to the extent she said.Also, what she said when she confessed to fourth master was not a lie. She really didn't dare to like fourth master too much.
The sincerity she showed would not get the same response from fourth master, so she didn't want to, nor would she.
Fourth master will have many women in his life, but she will only have one man in his life.If she fell in love with fourth master, it would be too bleak, because fourth master could not love her alone.
Even if fourth master can love her only, he will never belong to her alone.
She is actually very petty and doesn't want to share her things with others, so she doesn't dare and doesn't want to really like fourth master.
If the fourth master was not the fourth master, she would go all out and love once, but the fourth master is the fourth master, the future Emperor Yongzheng.
The emperor abolished the Sangong and Liuyuan and only loved one woman. This is a fairy tale and it will not happen in reality, so she should be more rational.If fourth master despises her in the future, she can still live with a smile.
A dreamless night!
When I woke up the next day, it was already midnight.
Ming Xi looked around, but did not see Fourth Master, guessing that Fourth Master had already woken up.
Aunt Zhou heard some movement in the bedroom and walked in. Seeing that Ming Xi was awake, she saluted her: "Ge Ge, you are awake."
Ming Xi felt her head hurt a bit, she raised her hand and rubbed her temples: "En." She wasn't too drunk last night, why did she wake up with such a headache?
"Ge Ge, this servant will take care of you to wash up."
"Where is fourth master? Where are you going back to the house?" Fourth master returned home after hearing her confession last night, it would be too scumbag.
"No, master got up early in the morning and went to the study."
"study?"
"Master seems to have something important to deal with." Aunt Zhou said with a smile, "Master ordered Ge Ge to wake up, and let the slaves notify him."
"Since fourth master has something to deal with, don't bother him."
Seeing Mingxi rubbing her temples, Aunt Zhou asked with concern, "Gege, are you feeling well?"
"Headache!"
"It deserves it." Fourth Master's voice suddenly sounded.
"Good luck, master!" Aunt Zhou saluted quickly.
Ming Xi raised her eyes and stared fiercely at Fourth Master: "Master, how can you say that about me?" It seems that her confession last night was eaten by dogs.
Fourth Master went to the bed and sat down. Seeing that Mingxi's face was a little pale, his heart ached, "Who told you to drink so much last night?" He knew that he would get a headache when he was drunk, so he got himself drunk.
When Ming Xi heard this, she snorted angrily: "Hmph!"
Fourth Master put his hand on Ming Xi's temple, and rubbed it unskillfully.
"Now that I know I have a headache, will I still be drunk in the future?"
Ming Xi closed her eyes and enjoyed Si Ye's massage.
"Don't drink anymore."
"Besides the headache, what else is uncomfortable?"
"No, just a headache." She wasn't too drunk, so she didn't feel nauseous.
"You..."
Fourth Master became proficient after rubbing and rubbing for a while, and Ming Xi was very comfortable after being massaged.
"feelling better?"
"It's much more comfortable." Ming Xi opened his eyes and praised Fourth Master, "I didn't expect Master to massage."
"I don't think so."
"But I was very comfortable being massaged by the master." Ming Xi said with a smile.
Fourth Master stopped his hands and pinched the tip of Ming Xi's nose, with a helpless expression on his face, but his tone was full of affection: "This is not an example."
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "I won't get drunk next time." Waking up with a headache in the morning is really terrible.
"Are you hungry?"
Just as Fourth Master finished asking, Ming Xi's stomach rang in response to the occasion: "Gurrrrrrrrrrrrr......"
Ming Xi reached out to touch her flat stomach, and looked at Fourth Master pitifully: "I'm hungry."
Fourth Master shook his head with a smile: "Get up when you're hungry."
Aunt Zhou and Lu Shui brought warm water in and waited for Ming Xi to get up and wash up.
After washing up, fourth master led Mingxi to have breakfast.
Ming Xi looked down at her and Fourth Master's clasped hands, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled meaningfully.
"Grandpa, haven't you had breakfast yet?"
"No." Fourth master woke up early in the morning, but didn't have breakfast, in order to wait for Ming Xi to wake up and have breakfast with her.
"Why didn't you have breakfast?"
"no appetite."
"Master, you're not drunk." Ming Xi raised her head and said with a stern face, "Master, if you don't eat breakfast, you will starve to death. Breakfast is a must!"
The fourth master who was taught the lesson smiled slightly: "I will go have breakfast with you now."
When Ming Xi heard what Si Ye said, she nodded in satisfaction: "That's right." She thought that Si Ye ate too much barbecue last night, so she didn't have much appetite in the morning, and she didn't go to Si Ye at all to wait for her to use it together Think about the direction of breakfast.
Fourth master led Mingxi to the dining room, which is the dining room of Yuexi Pavilion.
What I ate last night was too greasy. It is best to have some light porridge for breakfast.
Ming Xi was really hungry, she lowered her head and concentrated on drinking the porridge.
"What do you want to do today?" Fourth Master asked suddenly.
When Ming Xi heard Fourth Master's question, she raised her head in surprise: "Huh?" When Fourth Master was eating, he basically didn't speak, and this was the first time he spoke while eating.
Seeing that there were grains of rice on the corner of Mingxi's mouth, fourth master reached out to wipe the rice grains away.
Seeing Fourth Master wipe a grain of rice from the corner of her mouth, Ming Xi quickly raised her hand to touch the corner of her own mouth: "Master, are there any grains of rice in the corner of my mouth?"
Fourth Master glanced at the grains of rice on his finger, then opened his mouth and ate it.
When Ming Xi saw this scene, her eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't believe her eyes.
Not to mention that Ming Xi was severely startled, even Su Peisheng and the others who were waiting at the side were so startled that their jaws dropped to the ground.
"How can you be like a child, eating rice grains all over your mouth?"
Ming Xi came back to her senses, and retorted with her mouth pouted: "It's just a grain of rice, how can a mouth be full."
Fourth Master asked gently: "What do you want to do today?"
"Grandpa, what do you want to do?"
"Grandfather asked you."
Ming Xi thought for a while, then shook her head lightly: "I don't know." Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, going out during the day is just looking for abuse.
"Want to ride a horse?"
"Horse riding?" Ming Xi's eyes lit up immediately, but thinking of the bright sun now, she immediately stopped thinking, "Although I really want to ride a horse, it's too hot and I don't want to go out."
"In the evening, I will take you to ride a horse and run around."
Ming Xi nodded again and again: "Okay."
"After dinner, I will take you to see something."
Ming Xi asked curiously: "What?"
Fourth master imitated Mingxi's trickery: "You will know later."
"So mysterious?" Every time Fourth Master gave her something good, I don't know what it could be?
"Have breakfast."
After breakfast, fourth master led Ming Xi to the study.
"Master, what do you want to give me?" When you bring her to the study, you don't want to give her a book, do you?
Fourth Master led Ming Xi to the table and opened a scroll.
When Ming Xi saw the painting on the scroll, she opened her mouth in shock, "Master, this is..."
"A painting for you." The fourth master had painted for Mingxi before, but thought he could not draw well, so he didn't give it to Mingxi.Fourth master got up early this morning and went to the study room, not to deal with important matters, but to paint for Ming Xi.
"Master, isn't this what happened when we went to pick lotus that day?"
The fourth master painted Ming Xi wearing a Hanfu and sitting at the stern of the boat, holding a lotus flower in her hand. She lowered her head and gently smelled the lotus flower in her hand, a gentle smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth.
At that time, Fourth Master was amazed by Ming Xi's smile, and was absent-minded for a long time.Ming Xi's inadvertently revealed gentle smile was deeply imprinted in Fourth Master's mind.
Ming Xi looked at herself in the painting, and couldn't believe it: "My lord, you have painted me so beautifully!" The self in the painting, sniffing the lotus flower, bowing her head and smiling softly, is so beautiful, she never knew that her smile would be so beautiful. so beautiful.
"satisfied?"
Ming Xi nodded heavily: "Satisfied, very satisfied."
Seeing Mingxi's happy look, Fourth Master felt that it was right for him to wake up early in the morning to draw this painting.
Ming Xi discovered that there was a poem inscribed on the lower right corner of the painting, which was "A Beautiful Woman in the North".
"Master, aren't you unwilling to write "A Beautiful Woman in the North" for me?"
"Grandpa fulfills you once."
Ming Xi threw herself into Fourth Master's arms, put her arms around Fourth Master's neck, stood on tiptoe and kissed Fourth Master's lips fiercely.
"Grandpa is the best!"
Fourth Master put out his hand to support the back of Ming Xi's head, lowered his head to deepen the kiss.
Ming Xi was kissed by Fourth Master until her whole body became limp, panting heavily: "Master, is this the painting you want to give me?"
"No."
"No? Then what else?"
"Go out with Grandpa."
Ming Xi followed Fourth Master to turn left and right, and came to the stable in the village, immediately guessing what Fourth Master was going to give her?
Fourth Master led Mingxi to a white horse, said with a smile: "This is what I gave you."
Ming Xi stared at the tall horse in front of him with glowing eyes: "Is it really for me?" This horse looked good at first glance, and it should be a horse that Mongolia paid tribute to.
"Like it?"
Ming Xi said with a smile all over her face: "I like it, what's its name?"
"You are its master now, you give it a name."
Ming Xi thought for a while and said, "Let's call it White Night."
"It's a nice name."
Ming Xi stretched out her hand, and carefully touched the steed in front of her.Seeing the steed raising its head and rubbing against her palm, Ming Xi smiled happily, "Bai Ye, hello, I will be your master from today on, and I will love you well."
Bai Ye seemed to know what Ming Xi was talking about, and stuck out his tongue to lick her face.
Seeing Bai Ye getting close to Ming Xi, Fourth Master felt relieved.Although this horse is tame, if you don't get its recognition, it won't get close to you.
Ming Xi rubbed Bai Ye's face, smiled and said, "Bai Ye, we will be partners from now on."
Bai Ye called out to Ming Xi as if responding to Ming Xi.
Ming Xi held Bai Ye's face and kissed Bai Ye's forehead.Bai Ye who was kissed seemed very happy, raised his head and hissed.
Seeing Ming Xi smiling happily like a child, Fourth Master also had a gentle smile in his eyes: "It seems that Bai Ye also likes you very much."
"I'm a beautiful woman, of course Bai Ye will like me." Ming Xi said proudly.
When fourth master heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry, this girl had everything to do with her being a beautiful woman.
"Master, Bai Ye is a Mongolian horse, right?"
"Yes, Bai Ye is a Mongolian tribute horse."
"Is it Horqin's horse?"
Fourth Master looked surprised: "How do you know it's Horqin's horse?"
"Horqin's horses are all tall and handsome." Ming Xi reached out and touched Bai Ye's face, "Bai Ye gave me a very familiar feeling, so I guess it is Horqin's horse."
Hearing what Ming Xi said, Fourth Master understood why Bai Ye was so close to her.
"You guessed it right, Bai Ye is indeed from Horqin."
Ming Xi had an expression of "I'm smart, praise me quickly".
Fourth Master was amused by Ming Xi's face begging for praise, as she wished: "Master's Xiao Xi is really smart."
When Ming Xi heard Fourth Master call her "Xiao Xi", she was surprised: "Master, what did you call me just now?"
"Xiaoxi." Fourth master called softly.
Mingxi blushed a little when she heard Si Ye call her that, a little embarrassed: "Master, why do you call me by my nickname?" No name has ever been called.When he first entered the mansion, he called her Qi Jiashi, but after he got to know her well, he called her "girl".
Seeing Mingxi's shy look, fourth master smiled lightly and said, "I can't call you by your nickname?" Xiaoxi's nickname was the last time fourth master accompanied Mingxi back to her natal home and heard Mingxi's father say so. call her.
"Yes, but I'm not used to it."
"What are you not used to?"
Ming Xi raised her head and looked at Fourth Master with resentful eyes: "Because Master has never called me by my name before, he will definitely not get used to calling me by my nickname all of a sudden.
At this time, Fourth Master and Ming Xi were both wearing coarse clothes and straw hats, with their sleeves and trousers rolled up, bending over to plant tomato seedlings.
Ming Xi has the most experience in growing tomatoes.In her previous life, she had planted several pots of tomatoes on the balcony of her home.
Tomatoes are not only edible, but also used as ornamental potted plants.When the tomatoes are ripe, they are beautifully red.
Mingxi's favorite vegetable is tomato, whether it is eaten raw or cooked, it is very delicious, and the most important thing is that it is rich in vitamins.
Fourth Master was reluctant at first, but soon after he went to the field, he felt the fun, and followed Mingxi to plant tomatoes seriously.
"By the way, Lord, let's plant tomatoes in flowerpots." Ming Xi suddenly remembered that she liked to plant tomatoes in flowerpots in her previous life. Not only are they edible, but they are also beautiful.
"Yes." Tomatoes were originally used as ornamental plants, not as food.Later, it was discovered that it could be eaten.
"Master, you can plant a few pots of tomatoes. When they are ripe, you can bring them to the palace and give them to the emperor and the concubine." Ming Xi thinks this is a good idea.
The fourth master thought that Kangxi seemed to like eating tomatoes, and felt that Mingxi's suggestion was not bad.As for Er Niang... If he gave Er Niang a few pots of tomatoes, maybe it would make Er Niang hate him, so forget it.
"Grandpa, let me tell you, there are many ways to eat tomatoes." At this time, there are not many tomato meals.Ming Xi introduced to the fourth master in detail, "Tomato egg soup and tomato scrambled eggs are what we often eat, and of course raw tomatoes."
Fourth Master responded cooperatively: "En."
"Stir-fried shrimp with tomato, fried eggplant with tomato, stewed tofu with tomato, stewed beef brisket with tomato, stewed noodles with tomato, beef soup with tomato, etc." Ming Xi mentioned many tomato-related dishes in one breath, making her salivate. "The most important thing is that tomatoes can be made into sauce. Tomato sauce is very delicious." When the tomatoes are ripe, she must ask the cook in the house to make tomato sauce from the tomatoes.
This is the first time Si Ye heard that there are so many ways to eat tomatoes. The taste of tomatoes is sour. Are these dishes edible?
"Suddenly I really want to eat tomatoes." Tomatoes are not cheap at this time. Like cucumbers, they are "luxury goods" among vegetables, and ordinary people cannot afford them.Her family's conditions are not very good, and she seldom eats tomatoes. There are a hundred ways to eat tomatoes, which cannot be realized at home.However, it is different now, she can realize a hundred ways to eat tomatoes.
"Sweet and sour, what's so delicious?" Fourth Master doesn't like tomatoes very much, he thinks the taste of tomatoes is weird.
"Grandpa, tomatoes are delicious, but you haven't eaten them well before." Ming Xi said with a smile, "When the tomatoes are ripe, I will show you a hundred ways to eat them, so that you will fall in love with them completely."
Fourth master looked suspicious: "Really?"
"Grandpa, just wait."
Next, the two transplanted the tomato seedlings into flower pots.
After a busy day, the two finally planted tomato seedlings.
There were ten pots of tomatoes transplanted into flower pots at the entrance of Yuexi Pavilion, Si Ye and Ming Xi each transplanted five pots.
"Now wait for it to mature and bear fruit." If it is planted in summer, it will take about forty days to mature and bear fruit.Forget it, we will be able to eat tomatoes at the end of August. "Master, I'm right, isn't it fun to grow your own vegetables?"
"A great way to pass the time."
"When the tomatoes are ripe and bear fruit, you will feel a sense of accomplishment in your heart."
"Maybe." I really didn't see that this girl was so good at growing vegetables.
"You will realize it when the time comes." When she had nothing to do in her previous life, she liked to grow some vegetables in flowerpots.
Fourth master raised his hand and gently tapped Mingxi's little head, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You are the only one with a lot of tricks." I really didn't see that this girl had such a side.
Ming Xi cast a sideways glance at Fourth Master: "Master, this is what I call living."
Fourth Master still agrees with Ming Xi's words, this girl knows how to live her own life.In the whole mansion, she is the only one who lives her little life very easily and comfortably, which is why he likes to go to her place.Because in her presence, he would unknowingly relax and feel very comfortable.
"Master, do you think I'm very virtuous?" Ming Xi winked at Fourth Master ambiguously, "Have you discovered another advantage of me?"
Hearing this, Fourth Master couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and gently pinched Ming Xi's face: "No."
When Ming Xi heard fourth master say this, she gave him a hard look: "Master, I seriously doubt your eyes." She is so virtuous and knows how to live, she can't find it even with a lantern.
Fourth Master raised his hand and tapped Ming Xi's forehead, with a rather helpless expression: "You..." However, his eyes were full of doting.
"Master, Gege, it's time for dinner."
"Let's go eat."
While eating, Ming Xi suddenly thought of a good idea, and his eyes immediately became sparkling: "How can we not eat barbecue in summer?!" A summer without skewers and beer is not a real summer.
"barbecue?"
"It's barbecue." Ming Xi looked at Fourth Master with glowing eyes, "Master, let's have barbecue tomorrow." It doesn't matter if there is no beer in this era, you can use fruit wine or other wines instead.
Fourth master doesn't like to eat barbecue very much. One is that the barbecue has a burnt smell, and the other is that the barbecue has a smell of mutton, which is not delicious.
"Eat it yourself."
"Grandpa, don't you like barbecue?"
Fourth Master nodded gently: "En."
"Grandpa, the barbecue I made tomorrow is very delicious, you will definitely like it." After dinner, she drew out the barbecue tools and asked Zhuangzi's people to make them.
"Really?" Fourth master wasn't interested.
After dinner, Ming Xi followed Fourth Master to the study.
Fourth Master was reading, and Ming Xi was drawing barbecue tools.
"What are you drawing?" Fourth Master pointed to a rectangular box that Ming Xi had just drawn.
"This is a barbecue stove. Put the charcoal in it, then put a barbecue skewer on top of the stove, and put the things to be roasted on the skewer."
Fourth Master slightly raised his brows: "Grilling meat with charcoal?" This is the first time I've heard of this way of eating.
"That's right, grilling meat with charcoal will taste good." Ming Xi said with a smile, "Master, tomorrow you will know that I didn't lie to you."
Mingxi called Zhang Dashan and handed him the barbecue tool she had just drawn, and asked him to have someone make it tomorrow, and she wanted barbecue tomorrow night.
"Don't worry, Ge Ge, this barbecue tool is very simple, and it will definitely be made before tomorrow night."
"That's good." Ming Xi suddenly thought that there is no shortage of wine when eating barbecue, "Butler Zhang, is there any fruit wine in the village?" The fruit wine has a low alcohol content, so it's not easy to get drunk.
"Yes, there are plum wine, pomegranate wine, plum wine, and wine." Zhang Dashan asked, "Ge Ge, which one do you want to drink?"
"Plum wine and wine bar."
"Ok."
After Zhang Dashan left, Fourth Master asked, "Why do you want to drink?" Fourth Master didn't like drinking very much, and basically didn't drink in the mansion.
"Grandpa, you have to drink alcohol when you eat barbecue, otherwise it's not interesting." Skewers and beer are more suitable, but there is no beer, so they can only replace it with fruit wine on the spot. "I know you don't like drinking, but fruit wine is not considered real wine, and you won't get drunk if you drink too much."
"You have a lot of fallacies." It was the first time he had heard of such a thing before eating barbecue.
Ming Xi stretched out her index finger and shook her head lightly: "Master, you don't understand, this is the truth!" On summer evenings, sitting on the side of the road with a few friends, drinking skewers and chatting about various gossips. most comfortable.She really misses the days when she had a drink with her friends in her previous life, but it's a pity that there will never be such a day again.
Fourth Master laughed angrily at Ming Xi's words: "I don't understand, do you understand?"
"Master, tomorrow night you will know what I said is right."
At noon the next day, Mingxi's barbecue tools were ready.
Ming Xi asked Zhang Dashan to prepare some vegetables and some meat, and then put them on a skewer.
In the evening, Mingxi asked Little Pigeon and the others to put the charcoal that had been burnt into the barbecue stove, and then put the barbecue skewers on the stove.
Fourth Master walked to the courtyard and saw Ming Xi standing in front of the stove with a piece of cloth wrapped around her head, her sleeves rolled up, and wearing strange clothes.
"What are you doing?"
Ming Xi waved the brush in his hand, and smiled brightly at Fourth Master: "Master, I'll grill meat for you myself, what do you want to eat, mutton, pork, or beef?"
Seeing Mingxi's weird outfit, Fourth Master frowned dissatisfiedly: "What do you look like, let the servants do it?"
"Master, they don't know how to do it." Ming Xi patted her chest and said with a smile, "Master, don't worry, my craftsmanship is pretty good, and I won't make you have diarrhea."
The fourth master was amused by Mingxi's last sentence: "If the master eats up his stomach, I will ask you." This girl's tone is really serious.
"No problem." Ming Xi said with a smile, "Master, I will make you fall in love with barbecue."
"That's right, Master is waiting." Seeing Ming Xi's energetic look, Fourth Master did not stop her anymore, it was rare to see this girl in such high spirits.
"Okay." Ming Xi first used a brush to brush a layer of oil on the meat skewers, and then put them on the barbecue skewers for grilling.
Si Ye sat aside, watching Ming Xi's movements with great interest.Seeing her proficient movements, I couldn't help being a little surprised, this girl really knows how to do it.
Ming Xi first grilled the chicken wings for Fourth Master, and after the chicken wings were cooked, brushed them with a special sauce.
Fourth master could not help but move his index finger when he smelled the aroma of barbecue.
Ming Xi brought the grilled chicken wings to Fourth Master, and said with a treasure: "Grandpa, try it."
The fourth master saw that Mingxi had tested the chicken wings to a golden color, and disliked the oil a little too much, but seeing Mingxi's expectant eyes, he picked up a piece of chicken wing and took a bite. Immediately, a meaty smell filled the entire mouth, and the spicy taste stimulated the taste buds.
"Master, how does it taste?" Ming Xi looked at Fourth Master nervously.
With something in his mouth, fourth master couldn't speak, so he nodded slightly.Unexpectedly, the chicken wings grilled by this girl are delicious, the skin is burnt and the meat is tender.
Ming Xi's eyes suddenly became bright, and then he picked up a piece of chicken wing and took a bite, his eyes opened very wide: "It's delicious!"
Fourth Master finished a grilled chicken wing gracefully, and praised: "It's grilled well."
After being praised by the fourth master, Ming Xi's face instantly became smug: "I said it was delicious, sir, do you believe it now?"
"En." This kind of charcoal-grilled meat tastes better than fire-grilled meat.
"I'll go ahead and bake."
"Ge Ge, this servant will help you." Aunt Zhou and the others have long been drooling from the taste of barbecue. They didn't expect Ge Ge to have such a skill.
"Okay."
Next, Ming Xi told Aunt Zhou and the others the secret of how to barbecue, and then acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, sitting with Fourth Master to eat barbecue.
Ming Xi stood up, raised her wine glass to Fourth Master, and said with a smile: "Master, I would like to toast you, thank you for always pampering me, thank you for always being so kind to me!"
Fourth Master looked at Ming Xi with a grin, stood up and raised his wine glass and lightly touched the wine glass in Ming Xi's hand.
"kindness."
Ming Xi raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, very simply.
"Grandpa, I'm done drinking."
There was a hint of helplessness in fourth master's eyes, he slightly raised his head and finished drinking the wine in his hand.
"Grandpa, let me toast you again."
Ming Xi toasted the fourth master three glasses of wine in a row, and the fourth master drank all of them with dignity.
"This plum wine tastes good." Sweet and sour.
"No one is robbing you, drink slowly."
"Happy today." Ming Xi smiled at Fourth Master, "So I want to drink more." In the ten years since I came to the Qing Dynasty, I have never been so relaxed and comfortable as this evening. Drinking skewers, it seems that I have returned to my previous life in an instant.
Seeing Mingxi's hesitant childlike smile on Mingxi's face, fourth master couldn't help but feel better.What happened to this girl tonight, why is she so happy, just because she ate this barbecue?
"Master, let's not go home if we don't get drunk tonight." I really want to get drunk as much as I can.
Fourth Master frowned slightly, disapproving of Ming Xi's proposal.
Seeing Fourth Master's disapproval, Ming Xi stuck out her tongue mischievously at Fourth Master: "I forgot that Master doesn't like to get drunk, so can I be drunk?"
"Don't you like getting drunk?"
"I'm in a good mood tonight, I want to get drunk."
Fourth master raised his brows slightly, and wanted to get drunk when he was in a good mood. What's the reason?Shouldn't it be because you are in a bad mood that you want to get drunk?
Ming Xi blinked her big eyes, and looked at Fourth Master coquettishly: "Master, are you okay?" After finishing speaking, she added, "With Master by my side, I can get drunk with confidence."
Hearing what Ming Xi said, Fourth Master nodded slightly: "Only this time." When this girl wakes up tomorrow, she will probably have a headache, and she will scream again at that time.
Seeing that Fourth Master agreed, Ming Xi immediately rushed towards him, and kissed him hard on the lips: "Master is the best, thank you!"
Fourth Master raised his hand and patted Ming Xi's back, and said helplessly, "Don't complain about having a headache tomorrow."
"We'll talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow." Ming Xi said with a smile, "I'll be drunk tonight."
Seeing that Ming Xi was so interested, Fourth Master couldn't bear to refuse her: "Drink."
While drinking, Ming Xi told Fourth Master about her childhood.
While eating barbecue, fourth master quietly listened to what Mingxi said about her childhood.
Although the alcohol content of fruit wine is not high, you will get drunk if you drink too much.Ming Xi intentionally made herself drunk and kept drinking.
After drinking for a while, she finally got drunk as she wished, but not very drunk.
Ming Xi stood up unsteadily, put her hands on the table in front of her, and looked at Fourth Master with sparkling eyes: "Master, can I sing you a folk song?" Two days ago, Ming Xi and Fourth Master picked lotus. At that time, the fourth master was sung by a local girl to confess his love, and Mingxi has always been brooding in his heart.
Seeing that Ming Xi's face was flushed and her eyes were hazy, fourth master knew that she was drunk. "You can sing folk songs?" Unexpectedly, this girl still cared about the fact that he was sung by a local girl two days ago.
Ming Xi nodded: "Yes, I sing folk songs very well. I learned them in Horqin when I was young."
"Then you can sing."
Mingxi coughed twice, cleared her throat, and began to sing: "The sun is rising, my good brother, where are you..."
Mingxi sang Mongolian folk songs, naturally in Mongolian.This folk song is called "My Good Brother". It is a song for Mongolian girls to express their hearts to their beloved boys.
The lyrics of this folk song are simple and straightforward, and the tune is melodious and pleasant.
Ming Xi looked at Fourth Master burningly while singing this folk song.
Fourth master can understand Mongolian, so he can understand the meaning of this folk song.He looked at Mingxi with a deep and dangerous gaze.
Ming Xi, who was drunk, naturally couldn't detect the strangeness of Fourth Master, and still sang folk songs affectionately to Fourth Master.
Fourth Master poured himself a glass of fruit wine, drank it calmly, and continued to pretend to be calm while listening to Mingxi singing folk songs.
"My dear brother, I want to gallop on the grassland with you..." After Ming Xi finished singing, she staggered up to Fourth Master and asked with a blushing face, "Master, do I sing well? "
A faint light flashed in Fourth Master's eyes, he stretched out his hand to pull Mingxi into his arms, let her sit on his lap, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, and looked at her with burning eyes: "It sounds good."
When Ming Xi heard Fourth Master say that, his eyes became sparkling: "Really?"
"Tell me, what does this folk song mean?" Fourth Master's index finger gently rubbed Ming Xi's delicate lips.
Ming Xi blinked, and then said with a proud face: "Master, don't you understand Mongolian?"
Fourth Master said without blushing without panting, "I don't understand!"
Mingxi heard fourth master say this, and laughed coquettishly: "It turns out that master can't understand Mongolian."
Fourth Master's eyes became deep: "Tell Master, what does the song you sing mean?"
Ming Xi said proudly: "This folk song is called "My Good Brother". It's about a girl expressing her feelings to the boy she likes, hoping that the boy will accept her feelings."
"En?" Fourth Master's voice was a little hoarse, he lowered his head and rubbed Ming Xi's nose, "Are you expressing your heart to Master?"
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "Yes, I like Master."
When Fourth Master heard Ming Xi's words, his throat tightened, and his voice became even deeper: "What do you like about Master?"
"I like my grandfather's good looks."
When the fourth master heard this, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he laughed in a low voice: "You just like how good-looking you are?"
"No." Ming Xi sat in Fourth Master's arms, said with fingers, "Master is not only good-looking, but also very gentle and considerate."
Fourth Master did not expect that he was a gentle and considerate person in Mingxi's heart, which surprised him, after all, no one had ever used the word gentle and considerate to describe him.
"Master is still very kind to me." Ming Xi tilted her head and looked at Fourth Master with a smile, "So, I like Master the most."
Fourth Master's heart swelled when he heard this confession.
"However," Ming Xi frowned slightly, with dissatisfaction showing on her small face, she pursed her red lips and said, "I don't belong to you alone, I can't like you too much."
"Why can't you like Grandpa too much?"
"Because I have other women." Ming Xi said unhappily, "So I can't like you too much, otherwise I will..."
"what can you do?"
Ming Xi did not answer Fourth Master's question, but continued to follow what she said just now: "I dare not like Master too much."
Fourth Master reached out and caressed Ming Xi's bright red face, and gently coaxed, "Why not?"
"Afraid of getting hurt." She is not someone who can't afford to love. Once she likes someone, she will not hesitate to like her with her sincerity. Even if she gets hurt, she can let it go.However, Fourth Master is not an ordinary person. He has many women and will become the emperor in the future. Summarizing the experience of watching TV dramas in his previous life, the end of falling in love with the emperor is usually miserable.
After hearing this, fourth master felt as if his heart had been stabbed severely by a needle, and it hurt very much.
"Master doesn't belong to me alone, I'm afraid he won't want me in the future..." Before Ming Xi finished speaking, she yawned, tilted her head, and fell asleep leaning against Fourth Master's arms.
Looking at the person in his arms, Fourth Master's mood was very complicated. He didn't expect this girl to have such deep affection for him, and he didn't expect this girl to be afraid that he would not want her. How...why is she so stupid? !
"Don't dare to like it too much..." These words made fourth master very distressed.
Fourth Master lowered his head and pecked Mingxi's lips lightly, and said softly, "What a stupid girl!"
Ming Xi leaned against Fourth Master's arms, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Fourth Master stretched out his arms to pick up Mingxi, and went back to the house.
"Master, let the servants take care of Gege to wash up."
"Get the hot water ready."
"Yes, master."
The fourth master bathed Mingxi himself, and Mingxi woke up during the bath, looked at him in a daze, and called softly: "Master~~~"
"woke up?"
Ming Xi rubbed fourth master's face, pouted and said, "Master, I'm so dizzy and sleepy..."
"Sleep when you're tired."
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "Okay."
This time, fourth master did not exercise with Mingxi in the bathtub, but bathed Mingxi very gently.
After taking a shower, he dried Ming Xi's body and hair again.
After being drunk, Ming Xi is very obedient, neither noisy nor disturbed.
When Fourth Master dried Mingxi's hair, seeing Mingxi lying in his arms with a peaceful face, his heart softened unknowingly.
"Don't worry, Master will never want you." This girl is so dependent on him, how could he have the heart not to want her. "So, please like me a lot."
Ming Xi, who was asleep, heard Si Ye's words, and complained in her heart, Si Ye can't be so greedy, if you want me to like you more, you have to like me more, otherwise I wouldn't do this kind of thing Things at a loss.
Fourth Master waited for Ming Xi to take a bath before going to take a bath.
After taking a bath, Fourth Master lay on the bed, stretched out his hand and hugged Mingxi tightly in his arms, with a care he never had.
After Fourth Master fell asleep, Ming Xi, who had been asleep for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Fourth Master in the dark.
Her drunken confession should have touched fourth master.
To be honest, she was a little drunk at first, and then sang "My Good Brother" uncontrollably. After singing, she was a little sober, and then followed Si Ye's words and confessed the truth after drinking.
She liked fourth master, but not to the extent she said.Also, what she said when she confessed to fourth master was not a lie. She really didn't dare to like fourth master too much.
The sincerity she showed would not get the same response from fourth master, so she didn't want to, nor would she.
Fourth master will have many women in his life, but she will only have one man in his life.If she fell in love with fourth master, it would be too bleak, because fourth master could not love her alone.
Even if fourth master can love her only, he will never belong to her alone.
She is actually very petty and doesn't want to share her things with others, so she doesn't dare and doesn't want to really like fourth master.
If the fourth master was not the fourth master, she would go all out and love once, but the fourth master is the fourth master, the future Emperor Yongzheng.
The emperor abolished the Sangong and Liuyuan and only loved one woman. This is a fairy tale and it will not happen in reality, so she should be more rational.If fourth master despises her in the future, she can still live with a smile.
A dreamless night!
When I woke up the next day, it was already midnight.
Ming Xi looked around, but did not see Fourth Master, guessing that Fourth Master had already woken up.
Aunt Zhou heard some movement in the bedroom and walked in. Seeing that Ming Xi was awake, she saluted her: "Ge Ge, you are awake."
Ming Xi felt her head hurt a bit, she raised her hand and rubbed her temples: "En." She wasn't too drunk last night, why did she wake up with such a headache?
"Ge Ge, this servant will take care of you to wash up."
"Where is fourth master? Where are you going back to the house?" Fourth master returned home after hearing her confession last night, it would be too scumbag.
"No, master got up early in the morning and went to the study."
"study?"
"Master seems to have something important to deal with." Aunt Zhou said with a smile, "Master ordered Ge Ge to wake up, and let the slaves notify him."
"Since fourth master has something to deal with, don't bother him."
Seeing Mingxi rubbing her temples, Aunt Zhou asked with concern, "Gege, are you feeling well?"
"Headache!"
"It deserves it." Fourth Master's voice suddenly sounded.
"Good luck, master!" Aunt Zhou saluted quickly.
Ming Xi raised her eyes and stared fiercely at Fourth Master: "Master, how can you say that about me?" It seems that her confession last night was eaten by dogs.
Fourth Master went to the bed and sat down. Seeing that Mingxi's face was a little pale, his heart ached, "Who told you to drink so much last night?" He knew that he would get a headache when he was drunk, so he got himself drunk.
When Ming Xi heard this, she snorted angrily: "Hmph!"
Fourth Master put his hand on Ming Xi's temple, and rubbed it unskillfully.
"Now that I know I have a headache, will I still be drunk in the future?"
Ming Xi closed her eyes and enjoyed Si Ye's massage.
"Don't drink anymore."
"Besides the headache, what else is uncomfortable?"
"No, just a headache." She wasn't too drunk, so she didn't feel nauseous.
"You..."
Fourth Master became proficient after rubbing and rubbing for a while, and Ming Xi was very comfortable after being massaged.
"feelling better?"
"It's much more comfortable." Ming Xi opened his eyes and praised Fourth Master, "I didn't expect Master to massage."
"I don't think so."
"But I was very comfortable being massaged by the master." Ming Xi said with a smile.
Fourth Master stopped his hands and pinched the tip of Ming Xi's nose, with a helpless expression on his face, but his tone was full of affection: "This is not an example."
Ming Xi nodded obediently: "I won't get drunk next time." Waking up with a headache in the morning is really terrible.
"Are you hungry?"
Just as Fourth Master finished asking, Ming Xi's stomach rang in response to the occasion: "Gurrrrrrrrrrrrr......"
Ming Xi reached out to touch her flat stomach, and looked at Fourth Master pitifully: "I'm hungry."
Fourth Master shook his head with a smile: "Get up when you're hungry."
Aunt Zhou and Lu Shui brought warm water in and waited for Ming Xi to get up and wash up.
After washing up, fourth master led Mingxi to have breakfast.
Ming Xi looked down at her and Fourth Master's clasped hands, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled meaningfully.
"Grandpa, haven't you had breakfast yet?"
"No." Fourth master woke up early in the morning, but didn't have breakfast, in order to wait for Ming Xi to wake up and have breakfast with her.
"Why didn't you have breakfast?"
"no appetite."
"Master, you're not drunk." Ming Xi raised her head and said with a stern face, "Master, if you don't eat breakfast, you will starve to death. Breakfast is a must!"
The fourth master who was taught the lesson smiled slightly: "I will go have breakfast with you now."
When Ming Xi heard what Si Ye said, she nodded in satisfaction: "That's right." She thought that Si Ye ate too much barbecue last night, so she didn't have much appetite in the morning, and she didn't go to Si Ye at all to wait for her to use it together Think about the direction of breakfast.
Fourth master led Mingxi to the dining room, which is the dining room of Yuexi Pavilion.
What I ate last night was too greasy. It is best to have some light porridge for breakfast.
Ming Xi was really hungry, she lowered her head and concentrated on drinking the porridge.
"What do you want to do today?" Fourth Master asked suddenly.
When Ming Xi heard Fourth Master's question, she raised her head in surprise: "Huh?" When Fourth Master was eating, he basically didn't speak, and this was the first time he spoke while eating.
Seeing that there were grains of rice on the corner of Mingxi's mouth, fourth master reached out to wipe the rice grains away.
Seeing Fourth Master wipe a grain of rice from the corner of her mouth, Ming Xi quickly raised her hand to touch the corner of her own mouth: "Master, are there any grains of rice in the corner of my mouth?"
Fourth Master glanced at the grains of rice on his finger, then opened his mouth and ate it.
When Ming Xi saw this scene, her eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't believe her eyes.
Not to mention that Ming Xi was severely startled, even Su Peisheng and the others who were waiting at the side were so startled that their jaws dropped to the ground.
"How can you be like a child, eating rice grains all over your mouth?"
Ming Xi came back to her senses, and retorted with her mouth pouted: "It's just a grain of rice, how can a mouth be full."
Fourth Master asked gently: "What do you want to do today?"
"Grandpa, what do you want to do?"
"Grandfather asked you."
Ming Xi thought for a while, then shook her head lightly: "I don't know." Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, going out during the day is just looking for abuse.
"Want to ride a horse?"
"Horse riding?" Ming Xi's eyes lit up immediately, but thinking of the bright sun now, she immediately stopped thinking, "Although I really want to ride a horse, it's too hot and I don't want to go out."
"In the evening, I will take you to ride a horse and run around."
Ming Xi nodded again and again: "Okay."
"After dinner, I will take you to see something."
Ming Xi asked curiously: "What?"
Fourth master imitated Mingxi's trickery: "You will know later."
"So mysterious?" Every time Fourth Master gave her something good, I don't know what it could be?
"Have breakfast."
After breakfast, fourth master led Ming Xi to the study.
"Master, what do you want to give me?" When you bring her to the study, you don't want to give her a book, do you?
Fourth Master led Ming Xi to the table and opened a scroll.
When Ming Xi saw the painting on the scroll, she opened her mouth in shock, "Master, this is..."
"A painting for you." The fourth master had painted for Mingxi before, but thought he could not draw well, so he didn't give it to Mingxi.Fourth master got up early this morning and went to the study room, not to deal with important matters, but to paint for Ming Xi.
"Master, isn't this what happened when we went to pick lotus that day?"
The fourth master painted Ming Xi wearing a Hanfu and sitting at the stern of the boat, holding a lotus flower in her hand. She lowered her head and gently smelled the lotus flower in her hand, a gentle smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth.
At that time, Fourth Master was amazed by Ming Xi's smile, and was absent-minded for a long time.Ming Xi's inadvertently revealed gentle smile was deeply imprinted in Fourth Master's mind.
Ming Xi looked at herself in the painting, and couldn't believe it: "My lord, you have painted me so beautifully!" The self in the painting, sniffing the lotus flower, bowing her head and smiling softly, is so beautiful, she never knew that her smile would be so beautiful. so beautiful.
"satisfied?"
Ming Xi nodded heavily: "Satisfied, very satisfied."
Seeing Mingxi's happy look, Fourth Master felt that it was right for him to wake up early in the morning to draw this painting.
Ming Xi discovered that there was a poem inscribed on the lower right corner of the painting, which was "A Beautiful Woman in the North".
"Master, aren't you unwilling to write "A Beautiful Woman in the North" for me?"
"Grandpa fulfills you once."
Ming Xi threw herself into Fourth Master's arms, put her arms around Fourth Master's neck, stood on tiptoe and kissed Fourth Master's lips fiercely.
"Grandpa is the best!"
Fourth Master put out his hand to support the back of Ming Xi's head, lowered his head to deepen the kiss.
Ming Xi was kissed by Fourth Master until her whole body became limp, panting heavily: "Master, is this the painting you want to give me?"
"No."
"No? Then what else?"
"Go out with Grandpa."
Ming Xi followed Fourth Master to turn left and right, and came to the stable in the village, immediately guessing what Fourth Master was going to give her?
Fourth Master led Mingxi to a white horse, said with a smile: "This is what I gave you."
Ming Xi stared at the tall horse in front of him with glowing eyes: "Is it really for me?" This horse looked good at first glance, and it should be a horse that Mongolia paid tribute to.
"Like it?"
Ming Xi said with a smile all over her face: "I like it, what's its name?"
"You are its master now, you give it a name."
Ming Xi thought for a while and said, "Let's call it White Night."
"It's a nice name."
Ming Xi stretched out her hand, and carefully touched the steed in front of her.Seeing the steed raising its head and rubbing against her palm, Ming Xi smiled happily, "Bai Ye, hello, I will be your master from today on, and I will love you well."
Bai Ye seemed to know what Ming Xi was talking about, and stuck out his tongue to lick her face.
Seeing Bai Ye getting close to Ming Xi, Fourth Master felt relieved.Although this horse is tame, if you don't get its recognition, it won't get close to you.
Ming Xi rubbed Bai Ye's face, smiled and said, "Bai Ye, we will be partners from now on."
Bai Ye called out to Ming Xi as if responding to Ming Xi.
Ming Xi held Bai Ye's face and kissed Bai Ye's forehead.Bai Ye who was kissed seemed very happy, raised his head and hissed.
Seeing Ming Xi smiling happily like a child, Fourth Master also had a gentle smile in his eyes: "It seems that Bai Ye also likes you very much."
"I'm a beautiful woman, of course Bai Ye will like me." Ming Xi said proudly.
When fourth master heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry, this girl had everything to do with her being a beautiful woman.
"Master, Bai Ye is a Mongolian horse, right?"
"Yes, Bai Ye is a Mongolian tribute horse."
"Is it Horqin's horse?"
Fourth Master looked surprised: "How do you know it's Horqin's horse?"
"Horqin's horses are all tall and handsome." Ming Xi reached out and touched Bai Ye's face, "Bai Ye gave me a very familiar feeling, so I guess it is Horqin's horse."
Hearing what Ming Xi said, Fourth Master understood why Bai Ye was so close to her.
"You guessed it right, Bai Ye is indeed from Horqin."
Ming Xi had an expression of "I'm smart, praise me quickly".
Fourth Master was amused by Ming Xi's face begging for praise, as she wished: "Master's Xiao Xi is really smart."
When Ming Xi heard Fourth Master call her "Xiao Xi", she was surprised: "Master, what did you call me just now?"
"Xiaoxi." Fourth master called softly.
Mingxi blushed a little when she heard Si Ye call her that, a little embarrassed: "Master, why do you call me by my nickname?" No name has ever been called.When he first entered the mansion, he called her Qi Jiashi, but after he got to know her well, he called her "girl".
Seeing Mingxi's shy look, fourth master smiled lightly and said, "I can't call you by your nickname?" Xiaoxi's nickname was the last time fourth master accompanied Mingxi back to her natal home and heard Mingxi's father say so. call her.
"Yes, but I'm not used to it."
"What are you not used to?"
Ming Xi raised her head and looked at Fourth Master with resentful eyes: "Because Master has never called me by my name before, he will definitely not get used to calling me by my nickname all of a sudden.
