Chapter 1383 [Updated on August 19]
Ruoyin's heart skipped a beat when he saw the familiar touch of navy blue.
The whole body also trembled suddenly.
She had never been so nervous before being made things difficult for Ms. Yu in public.
She looked at fourth master timidly, and saw him looking at her indifferently, without any emotion.
He walked towards her with his hands behind his back. His handsome cheeks and masculine profile made people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
Based on years of getting along, she felt that fourth master must not be as indifferent as he appeared on the surface.
He walked up to her and said coldly, "Is your lunch ready?"
"The servant went to the kitchen to look at it before. The cook is already making meals. You can eat when you come back." Ruoyin pursed her lips and was about to go down the stairs, "I think it's almost the same now, so I'll go right away Check out the kitchen."
"Come back." Fourth Master stopped Ruoyin coldly.
It was only when Ruoyin was about to slip away with oil on his feet that he stopped.
She gave fourth master a coquettish smile, and stood there obediently.
"It's not easy to handle the errands, but you have time to chat here?" Fourth Master said in a cold tone.
"That's not the case, fourth master, I..." Ruoyin wanted to explain.
But people outside didn't know her relationship with fourth master, so it was inconvenient for her to explain.
So, halfway through the conversation, I stopped again.
At this moment, Wen Qianmo seemed to discover something strange.
He witnessed with his own eyes that the woman in front of him changed from "not afraid of things" to "super afraid of Fourth Master".
Wen Qianmo thought that he was talking to Ruoyin, which delayed Ruoyin's errand, causing her to be ridiculed by fourth master.
He looked at Ruoyin's submissive, hesitant to speak, worried that she would be scolded and punished later.
I couldn't help but say good things for Ruoyin: "Fourth Master, it's like this. I was talking to Xiaoyin just now, which caused her to delay her errand. Please don't embarrass her too much."
As soon as the voice fell, fourth master's indifferent face showed a trace of sullenness.
Seeing this, Wen Qianmo was still acting as a peacemaker there.
"How about this, I treat guests, and ask the kitchen to cook a table of good wine and food, let's have a meal together, and it will be Wen's apology." Wen Qianmo said, and extended a hand of friendship to Fourth Master.
Because of hiding his identity, fourth master still shook hands with Wen Qianmo graciously.
Because, the real contest between love rivals is to let him know that you are stronger than him.
Instead of letting him know how vulgar and unmannered you are.
But the next moment, what he said was alienated and unkind: "There is no need to make amends. After all, this is a matter between our master and servant. No matter how much outsiders make amends, it will be futile."
Fourth Master's tone was indifferent, but his words and deeds revealed the arrogance of a superior.
He also automatically classified Ruoyin and him together, and also separated Wen Qianmo.
His woman, when is it someone else's turn to protect her? !
Then, he let go of Wen Qianmo's hand, turned to look at Ruoyin, and said coldly, "Don't prepare water yet!"
Wen Qianmo naturally saw fourth master's more gloomy face and more terrifying attitude.
He held his lips, and continued to persuade: "Fourth Master, really..."
"Mr. Wen, stop talking." Ruoyin interrupted Wen Qianmo before he could finish speaking, and then he turned to Si Ye, "Si Ye, I'm going in to prepare water."
After finishing speaking, she ran away and returned to Room No. 2 of Tianzi.
Wen Qianmo saw that fourth master became more angry as he persuaded him, and Ruoyin told him to stop, so he didn't say anything more.
After Ruoyin entered, fourth master followed closely behind in strides.
Su Peisheng took a look at Wen Qianmo and followed him into the room.
This Mr. Wen, shut up, otherwise the Empress Dowager will suffer disaster.
Although Young Master Wen has a good attitude and is full of sincerity, it shouldn't be too obvious that he wants to make friends with Fourth Master.
As for why he showed his favor, of course it was for the empress.
If it was just a random servant girl under the emperor, the emperor would definitely not care.
It's just that the servant said a few words to others, what a big deal.
The problem is that this maid is pretending to be the empress.
Therefore, this is not a question of treating guests to dinner and making amends.
This is a man's possessive problem!
Wen Qianmo and the servant looked at the door of Tianzi No. 2, and only heard a "bang", and the door was closed.
"Master, it's a good thing this slave has met such a good master as you," the servant said.
This fourth master is really cold.
If he was allowed to work under him, he would probably spend the whole day in fear.
I didn't look at that girl Xiaoyin, she was a very powerful maid, but when she saw Fourth Master, she was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Wen Qianmo pondered over what the servant said, as if thinking about something.
Then, he went back to the room.
Seeing that Wen Qianmo was a little disappointed, the servant also went back to the room disappointed.
Alas, the young master was rejected by Miss Xiaoyin just like that.
You know, the young master is almost thirty years old, and this is the first time he has taken the initiative to ask a woman out.
The ancients often said that a man stands at thirty.
This standard is placed on the imperial examination field, and it is also the standard.
Throughout the ages, most of the most powerful figures in the officialdom obtained their fame in their thirties.
There are also the vast majority of people who are over forty years old before they get their official titles.
Even, some people have gray hair all their lives and failed to pass the exam.
Of course, there are also prodigies who are admitted to the top prize in their teens.
But after all, it is a minority, only one out of millions of people, like a mythical existence.
Therefore, those who pass the exam at the age of 30 are already young talents with extraordinary performance and great potential.
In the officialdom, there is also the possibility of unlimited promotion.
Unlike those who are over forty years old, maybe they have not been promoted a few times before returning home and retiring.
That's why some people say "Thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi".
It is not difficult for a person to learn Mingjing before the age of thirty, but it is difficult to obtain a Jinshi after the age of fifty.
Because the Jinshi subject is to examine poems, songs, and political opinions, it is particularly difficult.
In addition, regardless of the local examination or the examination in the capital, the examination is held every three years.
It will take at least four years to go on the exam all the way.
But the young master is not because the exam questions are too difficult, nor is it because of time.
But because of filial piety.
When the young master was twenty-five years old, he passed the boy's style and was admitted as a scholar, and he was still the number one at that time.
Only those who passed the examination as a scholar can participate in the current township examination.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were nearly 400 million people, and only one scholar was admitted among every 15,000 people.
Therefore, being a scholar is not so easy to obtain.
And if you pass the test once, you will only be counted as a child.
If you pass the full exam many times, you can be regarded as a serious scholar.
However, when the young master was preparing for the provincial examination, his wife fell seriously ill.
In order not to affect the young master's imperial examination, the wife deliberately kept it from the young master.
But was oppressed by the aunt in the mansion.
By the time the young master finds out, it's almost time to die.
In order to see his wife for the last time, the young master missed the township examination.
If you miss it, you will have to wait for more than three years.
