Fourth Master's Little Cook

Fourth Master's enthusiasm quickly calmed down. He looked at the lively rabbits around him, and thought that if he really did something under the watchful eyes of so many little rabbits, he would really lose face.Suppressing his ready to move, Fourth Master answered Ye Xue's question with a straight face: "You are so free as Eighth Master, running to our house every three days? Next time you meet him, maybe you will be a year older gone."

Even if Ba Ye finds an excuse to come to his house, Si Ye will not let Ye Xue have a chance to see him, there is a one in ten thousand chance that the two will run into each other, and he will not let Ba Ye and Ye Xue talk alone Chance.It's just that Fourth Master felt that there was no need to let Ye Xue know about it.

"Oh." Ye Xue felt that what Si Ye said made sense. She had been here in the Qing Dynasty for four months, and in these four months, she had only met Ba Ye twice, but she had met Brother Thirteen. Three times, she saw the most times among fourth master's brothers.

The fourth master once explained to Ye Xue about the matter of defending against the prince, but he didn't say anything about why she was asked to avoid other elder brothers.Ye Xue still remembers the time when fourth master had broken his bone, many elder brothers came to see him, but fourth master only let her see thirteenth elder brother and eighth master, now thinking about it, it was probably eighth master and tenth master The reason why the third elder brother and the fourth master have the best relationship?

For some reason, Ye Xue put all her thoughts on Fourth Master, and forgot about the cute little rabbit beside her. Seeing that she was absent-minded, Fourth Master took her to see a few wintersweet trees planted in the backyard.This wintersweet is in bloom. Although the fragrance is very faint and the flowers are not large, it has a refreshing taste. It is no wonder that many literati have used plums to write poems and paintings throughout the ages.

"Axue, can you make plum wine?"

Fourth Master looked at the shy wintersweet flowers that were only half in bloom, and for some reason thought of the sweet and sour plum wine.Ye Xue shook her head. Master only taught her how to cook, but never how to make wine. He only saw flowers but thought of making wine with their fruits. Since when did Fourth Master become a drinker?He didn't seem to have drunk alcohol in front of him.

"I want to drink the wine you brewed yourself. It must taste different from other people's brewed wine. Unfortunately, you can't..."

Fourth Master sighed, looking very sorry.If it were someone else, I'm afraid that I would immediately say that I want to learn brewing, but Ye Xue just echoed, "It's a pity that I can't, I will disappoint the fourth master", and there will be no more words, which makes the fourth master feel relieved The feeling of being stuck in mid-air and unable to get up or down.

"You know how to fold plum blossoms, right? Go and make two good-looking ones for my grandfather."

Fourth Master regained his breath and thought of a new idea to torment Ye Xue.He can't drink the plum wine she made, so let's smell the plum wine she made.The wintersweet tree is not high, Ye Xue can reach the plum branches on tiptoe, it is not too difficult for her.

Ye Xue listened to Si Ye's instructions and folded the plum branches. Her cooking hands folded plum blossoms very beautifully. The slender hands paired with red plums made Si Ye feel very pleasing. When Xue folded the fifth branch, she felt that the fourth master was really enough, what about folding two as agreed?

"There are flowers that can be broken straight away, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches. What does A Xue think?" Facing Ye Xue's pause, the fourth master spoke plausibly.Ye Xue then changed her rhetoric: She can't hold it and she can't take it down anymore.

"Forget it, these few are enough to plug in. My master will take you to pick out a good-looking bottle."

This afternoon, the fourth master fully demonstrated what it means to be full and have nothing to do. He picked the bottle for a long time and instructed Ye Xue to put the plum blossoms in. The bottle also took a lot of time. It took Ye Xue to come to the kitchen to cook At that time, there was a feeling of finally coming back to life, and the feeling of the little rabbit's death also faded a lot.

Because of picking a lot of mushrooms, Ye Xue made several dishes related to mushrooms: mushrooms and green vegetables, double mushroom stew, and her favorite whole mushroom soup.When fourth master ate this all-vegetarian feast, he really had the feeling that his brain was flooded, especially when he saw that all the dishes Ye Xue cooked had something to do with mushrooms.

Fourth Master poked a whole mushroom in the soup bowl. Although the juice burst in his mouth when he chewed it was very refreshing, but he couldn't stand eating mushrooms. Ever since he came to the farm, Ye Xue The cooking was completely to her liking, and he didn't know whether to feel good or bad, so he could only complain, "Why haven't I seen you like eating mushrooms so much before?"

"I used to eat in the dining room, how does fourth master know what I like to eat?"

Ye Xue felt a little strange, Fourth Master seemed to know her taste very well, but in the past she only served Fourth Master for meals, and had never eaten at the same table with Fourth Master, how did he come to this conclusion of?Did he listen to what other people said?But who is so free to tell fourth master what she likes to eat and what she doesn't like to eat.

Ye Xue's casual question made fourth master a little dazed, yes, the things he knew couldn't be said to be "the past" for Ye Xue now, but "the future".But thinking about it carefully, does he really know that Ye Xuexi doesn't like mushrooms?It seemed that he didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters at the time.

Facing Ye Xue's curious eyes, Fourth Master pulled away from his memories and replied, "I'm just guessing. I haven't heard you say you like mushrooms before, and you haven't cooked mushroom-related dishes for me."

Ye Xue let out an "oh" and continued eating mushrooms.What Si Ye said was also reasonable. The list Su Peisheng gave her was that Si Ye didn't like mushrooms, so she had never cooked any dishes related to mushrooms.This is the fourth master's responsiveness to her requests in the past two days. She forgot about this matter and only cared about her own taste when cooking.But it seems that fourth master has eaten a lot of mushrooms in the past two days?Could it be that he didn't want to waste all his heart, so he forced himself to eat it?

Ye Xue raised her eyes and secretly observed Fourth Master's expression when he was drinking mushroom soup. It seemed that he really didn't like mushrooms... But he ate mushrooms with him for two days, and went to pick mushrooms with him. Tonight The vegan feast is also to commemorate her dead little rabbit...

Ye Xue thought of the little things that happened in the past two days, and her heart was filled with emotion.Although fourth master didn't say anything, he did a lot. He took him around this afternoon because he didn't want her to be immersed in the sadness of the little rabbit's death.

Ye Xue didn't know how to repay Fourth Master's kindness and affection for her, she was suddenly a little uncertain whether she could repay him by cooking delicious dishes for Fourth Master.

"Go to bed early at night, we will return home early tomorrow morning, so don't stay in bed and not get up."

After a while of silence, fourth master spoke first.The two-day trip to the farm has come to an end, and he should take Ye Xue back home tomorrow, so as not to be caught by anyone.His hand was injured at the right time, but there are also many disadvantages. After all, he knows little about what happened in the court. Fortunately, all the conspiracies are just foreshadowing, and the position of the prince is still very secure. What is he in a hurry for.

Ye Xue didn't know what the fourth master was thinking, after all, her knowledge of the Qing Dynasty came from "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", she never thought about the twists and turns between the fourth master and his brothers, nor He didn't care about what fourth master saw, did, and met in the study.

After dinner, fourth master sent Ye Xue back to the house, and then went straight to the study.Ye Xue stood by the window and looked at the stars for a while, and then read the scriptures Fushun brought her for a while by the candlelight. Although most of them were in traditional Chinese characters, Ye Xue found that she did not have any dyslexia and could I don't know if it is the instinct left by this body, just like when we folded plums today.

Thinking of Fourth Master asking her to go to bed earlier, Ye Xue lay down on the bed after not long watching.It's just that she changed to a completely strange place, she didn't fall asleep so easily, and the picture of getting along with fourth master always appeared in her mind.She tried hard to fall asleep, but until fourth master entered the room, she was still tossing and turning.

Ye Xue didn't want fourth master to know that she was still asleep, so she quickly slowed down her breathing and remained still, pretending that she was asleep.But after waiting for a while, Ye Xue didn't wait for Fourth Master to extinguish the candle, but felt him lift her curtain.

Ye Xue didn't dare to breathe, she could feel that Fourth Master was close at hand, he was approaching her bit by bit... His hand touched her forehead... His fingers slid across her cheek...

Ye Xue's face turned red uncontrollably, under the reflection of the candlelight, it was not so obvious.Fourth master didn't notice that Ye Xue was awake. After he finished his hand addiction, he closed the curtain again.After a while, there was a rustling sound, and after a while, the candle was extinguished, and the room returned to darkness again.

Ye Xue stretched out her hand to touch her face, it seemed that the temperature left by Fourth Master's fingers was still there, and she was so burned that she didn't even feel sleepy at all.Fortunately, they will return home tomorrow, so she won't have the time to sleep in the same room with fourth master, otherwise she is afraid that she will have to eat some bitter gourd steamed buns to clear away heat and relieve fire.

***

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Xue boarded the carriage back to the capital.Probably because she didn't sleep well last night, she looked a little haggard and glum, and she looked like she hadn't woken up.

Fourth Master originally wanted to chat with Ye Xue on the carriage, but seeing her like this, he also stopped thinking: "If you feel sleepy, just sleep in the carriage for a while, the journey will take half a day."

Ye Xue fell asleep very obediently, she was very sleepy, just now when Fourth Master talked to her, she felt like a chicken pecking at rice.It's just that the space in the carriage is small, and she fell asleep when she fell asleep. Fourth master was afraid that she would hit her head, so he let her lean on his shoulder.This situation reminded fourth master of the time when he returned to the capital from Hangzhou.

In one's life, there are probably many decisions to be made. In the next life, fourth master does not want to let himself have any regrets and regrets.Looking at Ye Xue's defenseless sleeping position, he secretly made a decision: If Ye Xue really can't remember the past that wanted to hurt him, he is willing to start over with her, as if nothing had happened.
