Chapter 38 The eyebrows are deep and the heart is long

Wake up on the morning of the third day of October. I looked outside and the weather was fine. I remembered what Brother Thirteen said when he came yesterday. Decided to go to the Fourth Master's Mansion. The fourth master supervised the grass bean fraud case. It's beautifully done. Even if there is no credit. There's always hard work. But Kangxi not only didn't have an award. Instead, he intensified his efforts to find fault and suppress the fourth master. The fourth master naturally felt uncomfortable. All day with a gloomy face. Brother Thirteen asked me to take a look. Come to think of it. Since the feast has been held in my house. It seems that he will never see the fourth master again. I'm tired of going out. Nest in the house all day. He's busy with government. Restless.

Hand the reins to the guy at the door. I went straight to my study. Didor was still at the door. Seeing me, as if he had seen a savior, he hurried over and asked for peace: "Gege. You're here. The minions are looking forward to you." I know that he has been affected by the bad mood of the fourth master in the past few days, and his injuries are not light. and tease him no more. Just asked, "Who's in the house?"

At this time, the fourth master and Mr. Wu are in their own study. Mr. Wu's little buddies haven't finished class yet. The fourth master himself sulked in the house. Gege, go and persuade." Dai Duo's tone was urgent. I was stunned for a moment. Is it so terrifying for the fourth master to be angry? I shook my head and said, "You go to Mr. Wu's place and keep guard. After class, I came back and forth." After speaking, I walked to the door of the fourth master's study. I listened to it and there was no movement. After thinking about it, I pushed open the door and walked in.

But just enter the door. A teacup flew in front of you. Accompanied by the fourth master's low roar: "Didn't you say that no one is allowed to come in."

I narrowly avoided it. Didn't get hit. But it's still splashed all over the water. The good thing is that the water is cold. Otherwise, you will have to bear it. I dusted off the water. Look up. The fourth master was half-lying on the couch in the room. Maybe when I closed the door, I thought someone had gone out. His eyes were still closed. The right arm is lying on the face.

I gently walked over to the edge of the collapse and sat down. Pulling his hand away to reveal his face. He has heavy dark circles under his eyes. Frowning. My right hand caresses the center of his brow. Say to him, "Don't frown."

The fourth master didn't open his eyes. Instead, he put his arms around me. Press me to his chest. I meekly lay on his chest. Listen to his heartbeat. Asked about the faint fragrance on his body.. That's the aroma of tea and the scent of ink mixed together. A faint taste over the years. The fourth master asked, "Girl. Is it hurt?"

"Hasn't the fourth brother been listening? Didn't hit me. How does the fourth brother know that it's me?" He knew it was me. No need to open your eyes to see. He knew it was me.

The fourth master finally opened his eyes. He looked at me and said, "My study. No one gives me permission. Dietor would only let three people in. As soon as you approach. I can smell you."

"My taste." I never used incense. There is no special rouge gouache. What do I smell like.

"The aroma of tea and a hint of ink. It's mixed with your peculiar smell." The fourth master said. I took a deep breath in my hair.

"Why did the fourth brother lose his temper so much today. When Mr. Fox saw me. It's like seeing a life-saving straw."

The fourth master sighed and said, "It's nothing. It's that he's exaggerating. You girl. Next time it's like this, knock on the door first. What if it hurts?" He said. Put your arms around me and sit up. I was held in his arms like this. The room was silent. I could hear my heart beating fast. Another heartbeat that was also beating fast was heard. The fourth master looked down at me. I was speechless. Can only look at him. He doesn't say anything either. Hold me with just one hand. One hand caressing my face.

After a long time. It was the fourth master who opened his mouth first: "Why did you come here today."

I cleared my throat and said, "Brother Thirteen went to my place last night. I've been complaining about it for a long time. Say your face is cloudy. It's all autumn. He is afraid of the cold. I can't stand you anymore. I'm not at ease. Just come over today and have a look."

The fourth master smiled. The smile is a little bitter. said: "Silly girl. What's not to worry about. What else can I do?"

My hand rested on his chest. said: "Prince Yong will not do anything. But the fourth brother will be sad."

I sat up. looked into the eyes of the fourth master and said to him, "Fourth brother. You're human. It will also be sad. I understand. It's not so much that you're angry. It's better to say you're annoyed. It's sad. I know that you will always face everyone as Prince Yong. But I always think. It can give you a break once in a while." Fourth Master. Just once in a while. Put aside the three words Prince Yong for a moment. Even if it's just for a moment.

The fourth master just stared at me like this. After a while, he hugged me tightly in his arms. The chin rested on the top of my head. Whispered, "Just for a moment." I reached out and hugged him. Fourth Master. I'm speaking to you. What it means. I have so many words. When will I be able to tell you? When are we. Only then can you have the courage to face yourself.

A while. The fourth master let go of me. Ask me, "Is it cold?"

I was stunned for a moment. Shook his head. He flicked my head and said, "Silly girl. It's autumn. I've poured so much water on you. You won't say it." That's when I remembered. Oh, yes. It doesn't seem good to wear wet clothes in the big autumn. I smiled wryly. Say, "Yes. I'd better go back to the house and change my clothes."

"No, I don't. I have prepared clothes for you in the house. I'll let Dinor take you to change. But you don't have a cloak with you. How can it be good to get cold while riding a horse. I'll have someone go to your house and pick up some clothes for you." The fourth master asked me softly. See me nodded. He shouted outside, "Dai Duo. Come in."

Talking. The fourth master put on his shoes. He returned to his old upright appearance. Didor cautiously entered. After listening to the fourth master's instructions, he retreated to the door and showed me the way. It's still the same room I used to live in. When she entered, she pointed to a small carved wardrobe in the corner and said, "Gege's clothes are inside. You choose your own set and replace it. The minion is at the door. Call me if you have something." I'm going to go out when I'm done. I stopped him and asked, "What is this dress?"

Dai Duo smiled and said, "It was made for Gegexin. I said it. Gege comes occasionally. If you drink again, you stay. You can't wear the clothes of the previous day as before. So I personally selected the materials and set the patterns for you to prepare a few clothes." After speaking. Didor walked out. Closed the door.

I open the closet. Inside are all kinds of garments. Pale pink flag outfit. Sky blue palace dress. Moon-white robe. There is even a set of jacket skirts worn by Han women. I took a pale pink flag suit and put it on. Thinking in my heart. Just so that I might occasionally get drunk and stay here. Has he prepared so much? Fourth Master......

When I got dressed and went back to the study. The fourth master was sitting at his desk writing something. See me come in. I put down the pen and looked at me and said, "Beautiful. You wear such light colors. It's always nice to look at."

I walked over to him. He said, "Then I don't look good in red. It seems that this year, when the Ministry of Internal Affairs bought me new clothes for the New Year. It's time for them to buy a different color."

The fourth master shook his head and said, "You look good in whatever color you wear." I walked over to him with a smile. I saw him write the word "stable" on rice paper. I looked at his still frowning brow. Pick up the pen and write down the word "quiet".

The fourth master looked at me puzzled. I looked him in the eye and said, "To the fourth brother. This kind of time. I'm afraid it's more appropriate for you to calm down." The fourth master smiled and nodded. Turn around and remove a sandalwood box from the bookshelf behind you. Open it and hand it to me. Inside is a golden hairpin with red coral and rubies and pearls.

The fourth master looked at me with a surprised expression. He picked up a hairpin and put it on my head and said, "This is your birthday gift this year. It's a pity they didn't make it out on your birthday. I just sent it yesterday. Do you like it?"

"The fourth brother sent it. I love them all."

Dai Duo's voice came from outside the door: "Master. Little buddies are out of class."
