Chapter 1372 [Updated on August 14] Black Faced Fourth Master
One category is the kind with strong independence.
They all sat by the window alone, reading, reciting, and writing.
The book boy beside him grinds, pours tea, and massages for him.
This category is probably a relatively independent academic bully who likes to be clean.
There is another category, which is surrounded by twos and threes.
They recite poems and have fun together, drink tea and talk and laugh.
It looks like a relaxed reading atmosphere.
Judging from their situation, they should also enjoy reading.
The third type of people is a group of people gathered in one corner.
There were quite a few books in front of them.
It's just that they basically don't read, study, or endorse books.
Some people even hold the books upside down in their hands.
I saw them pretending to glance at the book, and looking furtively at the door, as if they were waiting for someone.
Then, they whispered some whispers.
One by one, wearing gorgeous brocade robes, the maids around them all looked strange and lovely.
At first glance, it was not An Sheng who read books.
On the contrary, he looks like an ignorant son who came to dawdle.
Or a scumbag who wanted to find an opportunity to cheat and be admitted by the court without any effort.
After about a cup of tea, a man in a gray robe came in.
The man glanced around in the lobby, and finally set his sights on the group of scumbags.
Then, he walked up to the group of scumbags, whispered a few words, and the group went upstairs to the room, as if they were plotting something shady.
Seeing this, Fourth Master called the person in charge to his side and whispered, "Go over there and see what they are talking about."
"Yes." After the steward agreed, he went upstairs cautiously.
Fourth master, Ruoyin and the others had enough to eat and drink, so they went back to the Tianzihao room upstairs.
After a while, the manager came in.
He closed the door and reported in a low voice to the fourth master in the room: "Fourth master, those people are very cautious. Before I got to the door, I saw someone guarding them outside. After I approached, let the little one When I went in under the name of delivering tea, someone sent a message before me. After entering, they all stared at each other without saying a word."
"It seems that they are very cautious, but the more they are like this, the more unusual they are," Ruoyin said.
The manager nodded and echoed: "Although I haven't heard anything, I am familiar with that group of people. They often gather together, others sing poems and have fun, they drink and have fun, and they make appointments at the best place in Suzhou City every now and then. Wandering around in a brothel doesn't look like a scholar at all."
"I saw this too, it's just the man in the gray robe, do you recognize him?" Ruoyin asked.
The manager tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied: "That, that person is, is..."
"If you know it, just say it, if you don't know it, just say you don't know it, it's useless to think about it." Fourth Master said coldly.
Hearing this, the steward smiled awkwardly, "Well, the little one really doesn't know."
Seeing that the steward didn't know, Ruoyin let him out.
Let him stand under fourth master's cold gaze again, it would be a kind of torture for him.
After the manager left, Ruoyin said calmly: "Fourth master, since those people are tricky, and we live in the same inn with them, I think they will show their tails sooner or later, let's check slowly, and we will always find the problem here."
"Um".
After resting for a while, fourth master took Ruoyin out for shopping.
It’s all here, business is important, but fun is also the main purpose of this southern tour.
In the Forbidden City, he was tense all day long, and it was nothing more than dealing with political affairs.
Going out on a southern tour, if you still deal with political affairs all day long and never relax for a moment, that would be too boring.
At this moment, they are shopping in Guanqian Street, which has the reputation of "Suzhou's No. 1 business district".
The small streets and alleys in Suzhou City are quite unique.
Long, thin, curved and curved.
There is always a small river lying on the side.
The same is long, thin, curved and curved.
The surface of the water is smooth, and when the wind blows, there are gentle ripples.
Every twenty or thirty steps, there is a small bridge.
Small bridges with shrugged shoulders.
There are delicate and exquisite stone bridges.
There are also small brick bridges and small wooden bridges with painted railings.
Ruoyin didn't lack for anything, but what attracted her most was food.
Whenever she saw sauced duck, sauced meat, sauced tendon, as well as Su's melon seeds and chicken soup wontons, she would stop and eat some.
If you come across something you like to eat, you have to buy some and take it home.
Because it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Many merchants sold Su's mooncakes in advance.
Ruoyin had almost eaten.
But it's a pity that I don't buy some Su's mooncakes to try.
So, she took Banmei into a mooncake shop.
Seeing her entering another store, fourth master frowned impatiently with his bushy eyebrows.
However, as a straight man, he had no patience for things like shopping.
But last night he promised her to take a good stroll with her, so he had to stand beside her with a dark face and wait for her.
Ruoyin has long been used to fourth master who dislikes integrity.
Ignoring his black face, she ordered dozens of mooncakes in one go.
Because she's not the only one eating it, she also has to reward some of the guards and servants who protected her and fourth master along the way.
After choosing the mooncakes, Banmei handed over the corresponding money to the shopkeeper.
When the shopkeeper saw the selection of mooncakes, it was Ruoyin who had the final say, and smiled and gave Ruoyin some special pastries.
If Ruoyin was not wearing a maid's costume, others would think that she was the hostess and fourth master was a personal bodyguard.
After leaving the store, the stern-faced Fourth Master asked impatiently, "Are you ready?"
Ruoyin looked at the food in his hand, as well as the large and small bags that Banmei, Su Peisheng, and the guards were carrying.
"Almost."
"Then go back." Fourth Master said and took a shortcut.
But as he walked, he himself entered an antique shop.
Seeing his impatient look, Ruoyin didn't want to go shopping with him.
But think about it, he is such an impatient person, his face is a little dark, after all, he has been shopping with her for so long.
So, she followed in and gave him some advice, saying that this one looks good.
However, fourth master didn't listen to any of them.
He still looked at her with that disdainful look in his eyes.
Well, Ruoyin just took a look at it by himself, and didn't bother to give him any advice.
Until the fourth master took a fancy to a white horse ornament made of Tang tri-color craft in Tang Dynasty, he raised his hand and was ready to hold it in his hand to admire it.
However, at this time, a slender jade finger painted with translucent pink tan also took a fancy to Fourth Master's Tang Sancai.
The two reached out to the three-color glazed pottery pony at the same time.
However, the opponent's hand just touched the pony, and the moment he saw fourth master, he immediately let go in panic.
"Bang!"
The exquisite and precious three-color glazed pottery little white horse just fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
Ruoyin and fourth master had their own opinions.
Now after hearing such a big movement, I turned my head and looked.
The girl who ran into fourth master's arms this morning appeared here again.
In the morning, she heard Xiaoer calling Miss Yu.
Miss Yu's eyes were startled, and then she complained coquettishly to Fourth Master, "Oh, why is it you again?"
