Fourth Master's Little Cook

The arrival of the new year also means busy arrival.After entering the first lunar month, there were a lot more banquets in the palace, Fourth Master often drank very late before coming back, sometimes he brought Fujin into the palace together, and sometimes he entered the palace alone.

Ye Xue then took a break. Originally, she only needed to prepare dinner every day. During the New Year's period, she didn't even have to do this. During the day, she really didn't have anything to do, and she didn't have to think about new things. The dishes, but she is not boring, because the fourth master asked people to find a lot of interesting novels, so Ye Xue spent all day reading in the warm pavilion, and occasionally practiced calligraphy. Half a month has passed.

This Lantern Festival involves eating Lantern Festival, viewing lanterns, and guessing lantern riddles. Before nightfall, the streets are very lively.When fourth master returned home in the carriage, he bought a small and unique rabbit lamp, and put it on the desk after returning to the study.

When Ye Xue came to the study with the food box, she saw this unique rabbit lamp at a glance, and she was full of joy.But fourth master put down his book and sat down at the dining table as if he didn't see Ye Xue's eyes.Ye Xue had no choice but to look away and wait for fourth master to eat first.

Today Ye Xue only made Yuanxiao, and did not cook other dishes. When she took out a bowl of colorful Yuanxiao from the food box, Fourth Master did not show any surprise.Ye Xue looked at it, feeling as if she had run out of talent, Fourth Master didn't even bother to show her a surprised look.

Ye Xue sighed in her heart, her face was full of loneliness, the fourth master looked at it, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Look at you, everything you think is written on your face, it really makes me dote on you, otherwise you'd be gone sooner or later." dragged you out."

Ye Xue immediately changed to a nervous expression: "Drag it out to play the board?"

Fourth Master pretended to be profound, and when he saw Ye Xue's pitiful expression, he opened his mouth and said, "Drag me out and kiss you in the yard."

Ye Xue's face turned red all of a sudden, compared to being kissed by fourth master in public and having her butt spanked with a board, it seems... It seems that both are quite miserable.But Fourth Master knew at a glance that he was joking with her, Ye Xue also had a smile on his face, and scooped up Lantern Festival for Fourth Master.

"Is this glutinous rice flour with vegetable juice added?" Fourth Master looked at the colorful Lantern Festival in the bowl, picked one up to check the color, and then put it in his mouth.Ye Xue always puts so much thought into it, and tries her best not to repeat the dishes every day. This is the first time she cooks Lantern Festival for herself. It turned out that he seemed to have guessed wrong.

"It's not vegetable juice, it's fruit juice, and some fruit pieces are added to the stuffing."

Ye Xue smiled and introduced the composition of various Lantern Festivals to Fourth Master. She originally wanted to make vegetable juice, but on second thought, she changed to fruit juice and made some fruit-filled Lantern Festivals.It's not big, just make it fresh.

"The taste is not bad, but the sweet fillings you made, are you afraid that I won't like it and waste your time?" Fourth master tasted one of each flavor, and found that although the fillings were different, they were all sweet fillings. Bean paste, sesame, peanut, rose, this is the rhythm of all the sweetness in one breath.

After hearing what Si Ye said, Ye Xue stuck out her tongue and said, "Didn't Si Ye say that you would like to eat as long as I made it? Could it be that you lied to me when you said this before Chinese New Year?"

Facing Ye Xue blocking his mouth with his own words, fourth master was speechless for a moment, so he could only use his own mouth to block Ye Xue's little mouth.The study room was very quiet for a while, only the rabbit lamp was silently crying on the desk.

After the Lantern Festival, the busyness of the new year finally came to an end, and the fourth master let the five-year-old Hong Yun live in the front yard after the new year.Although this decision did not cause an uproar in the backyard, it was enough to give several women something new to think about.

Although Mrs. Li was a bit reluctant, Fourth Master asked Hong Yun to live in the front yard and concentrate on studying. It was indeed a good thing for Hong Yun, and it was also a good opportunity for him to get close to Fourth Master.

After Mrs. Li figured it out, she instructed Hong Yun, and beat the maid who had been taking care of Hong Yun, and then personally sent Hong Yun to the front yard, taking this opportunity to meet the fourth master.

However, to Li's surprise, the fourth master had personally appointed someone to take care of Hong Yun, and asked her to take all the servants he brought back with a straight face.Li Shi's face was stiff, but Fourth Master had already put on a straight face. If she said anything else, she might lose even more face in front of the servants.

Mrs. Li quickly took the people back to the backyard, and started pulling the handkerchief as soon as he entered the yard, not daring to get too angry, lest he be laughed at by others.But the more irritated, the more irritating things will happen. The third elder brother burst into tears for some reason. Li Shi only felt very upset, and asked the nanny to carry him to another room to feed him without even looking at the third elder brother.

Mei Xin, Li Shi's dowry maid, saw that Li Shi was walking around in the house, and she also had the same attitude towards the third elder brother, so she quickly persuaded: "Master, don't be angry, the third elder brother must be hungry, and he didn't mean to be with you." No trouble, wait until he is full."

"Don't let me worry about one or two, tell me what it's called!" Li Shi stopped, feeling wronged and irritable in her heart, the third elder brother didn't understand anything, he just knew that he wanted to eat and cry. Hong Yun is already five years old, but she doesn't know how to help her. Facing Si Ye's words in the room just now, he actually said to her, "Emiang, don't worry, I will take good care of myself", which made her not even have an excuse. I can't find it anymore.

"Second elder brother will please fourth master like this, master should feel happy." Mei Xin persuaded a few more words, finally Li's anger almost subsided, and the third elder brother over there also fed and stopped crying Oh, but just as Li Shi picked up the third elder brother, the third elder brother took a shit, now Mei Xin felt that she had worked in vain again.

Fujin smiled when Yuhuan told him about the news, not surprised.This Hong Yun is already five years old, and he is the eldest son of the fourth master. It is time to go to the study. As for the fourth master personally sending someone to take care of Hong Yun, this can also be said to be for the sake of Hong Yun, although it is a bit of a slap in the face But the people in the backyard shouldn't have interfered with the matter of the study, and Li Shi could only swallow his anger.

"Just watch, there will be a good show next."

Fujin took a sip of tea, and his smile grew stronger.This mansion is so big, and news about Li's has always spread quickly. Although everyone usually lowers their eyebrows when they come to her house to say hello, some people are not easy-going.Li Shi has favored her for so many years, but now she has lost power, and there are many people who want to trample her down. After all, her two sons are too eye-catching.Fourth Master has entered the backyard so few times in the past six months, who wouldn't want to take this opportunity to compete?Isn't it a good opportunity for Hong Yun to go to the front yard now?

"The slaves also feel that it depends on who can lose their temper first."

Yuhuan also smiled. Since the eldest brother passed away, Fourth Master's temperament has become more ruthless, and his favoritism towards Li has also disappeared. He respects Fujin even more, and rarely comes to the backyard. She was with Fujin this time, and Li Shi was afraid that her teeth were itching with hatred, but she didn't know that other people's eyes were on her.

As the central figure of the topic, Hong Yun, who was only five years old, was a little uncomfortable after living in the front yard, but after a few days, he became at ease, because he found that the house he lived in was very close to the Nuan Pavilion where Ye Xue lived. However, the nanny who cares about him will not stop him from going to the Nuan Pavilion to play with Ye Xue, and Ye Xue will also prepare very delicious snacks for him, it can't be better!

For Hong Yun, the days of seeing beauties, eating delicious food, reading and memorizing books have become more pleasant.In his left hand is a piece of purple potato yam cake, in his right hand is a piece of peanut brittle candy, and a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" is spread out in front of him, and he feels that Confucius' words have become much more cordial.

When Fourth Master came to Nuan Pavilion, he saw Hong Yun's small mouth kept moving, he didn't know what he was chewing on, and at the end he licked his fingers, looking at the other side with aggrieved expression.

The fourth master cleared his throat and entered the Nuan Pavilion, and found that the person standing next to Hong Yun was Ye Xue, and she was holding a plate in her hand. I couldn't tell what it was, but the fourth master knew without thinking that it must be delicious .

The fourth master put on a straight face, and after telling the rest of the people to retreat, he "rebuked" Hong Yun: "Okay, I said why I couldn't find you, so I hid here to eat, Ye Xue, you are so brave , how dare you bring down the second elder brother!"

Fourth Master was not only fierce to Hong Yun, but also to Ye Xue, but in a place where Hong Yun could not see, Fourth Master secretly winked at Ye Xue.Although Ye Xue didn't know what Fourth Master sang, she acknowledged her mistake cooperatively: "Forgiveness, Fourth Master, it's all the servant's fault."

Seeing how ferocious the fourth master's expression was, Hong Yun quickly opened his small hand to block Ye Xue's face, "Ama, don't blame Aunt Ye, I'm the one who came to play with her. I also asked Aunt Ye to do it for me, one person does the work and the other person is responsible, if Ama wants to punish, punish me!"

Although Hongyun is small, he looks very tall when standing in front of Ye Xue.Seeing Xue Tuan'er helping her so much, Ye Xue's heart almost melted, and she couldn't help but glared at Fourth Master.

The fourth master snorted coldly, and slipped Hong Yun back to the study room. Hong Yun walked halfway and still didn't forget to look back at Ye Xue. Ye Xue waved at him, and after she couldn't see anyone, she ate the crispy peanut candy on the plate .

In the evening, Ye Xue made corn braised rice for Si Ye. The rice grains were soaked in milk beforehand, with a strong milky aroma. The shape of a six-petal flower was cut into a rhombus shape after absorbing the oil with a cotton cloth, and then sprinkled with a thick layer of white sugar.

Seeing this baked corn, Fourth Master didn't know what to say, but Ye Xue was very satisfied after eating a piece of it. Fourth Master thought that maybe this baked corn just looked sweet, but it wasn't actually that sweet?The unsure fourth master put a piece of corn roast in his mouth, God, is this really corn roast, not white sugar roast?

Facing Ye Xue's eyes of "you dare to spit it out", Fourth Master swallowed the mouthful with difficulty, and was about to stuff the mouthful from the chopsticks into Ye Xue's bowl, when Ye Xue's expression changed again It became the look of "If you don't eat, you don't love me anymore".
