Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Fourth Master
The weather is getting colder, Xiaoyue is wearing thick clothes, and she has a big belly, fortunately, she is used to walking in the yard every day and exercising, but walking is also inconvenient. And Xiaoyue is reading a book very attentively, and it will be very unpleasant to be disturbed, such as this uninvited guest who came today.
There was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar standing at the door, but he was white and chubby, and he was not tall, Xiao Yue felt that he was like a wall fruit in Plants vs. Zombies, and like a tumbler that children like to play, anyway, he looked festive and kind. Satsuki was originally a little angry, but she felt that she couldn't be angry in the face of such a person. Xiao Yue had no choice but to ask, "Sir, what is the matter?" The man asked, "Is it Miss Xiao Yue?" Then he looked at her stomach again, and said to himself, "Did you recognize the wrong person?" Xiao Yue looked at his puzzled expression, and said with a smile: "I am Xiao Yue, you didn't recognize the wrong person." The man smiled slightly awkwardly. Xiao Yue asked, "What do you call Mr?" The man hurriedly said, "The surname of the contemptible person is Yun, and the person is called the fourth master of Yun." Xiao Yue remembered the task that Steward Huang had given her before leaving, which was to receive a person named Yun Siye, so she said, "Yun Siye, meet for the first time, please come into the house." Xiao Yue led Yun Siye into the inner house, and after knowing the identity of this person, she was not polite and took him to the study. Xiao Yue looked at this person secretly, I heard his big name Yun Zhilan before, and I thought it was a fairy-like character, but I didn't expect it to be so down-to-earth, this contrast is so huge that I think it's quite interesting.
The tea in the study was prepared in advance by Mu Shi, so Xiao Yue made a new cup of tea and served it to Yun Siye. The two sat down opposite each other, and Xiao Yue waited for Yun Siye to speak. Yun Siye was not polite, and directly explained the origin, he said: "When Steward Huang left the Imperial City, he went to the bookstore to explain to me, Mr. Pan is not in Anfu this year, and Steward Huang is also going to a relative's house for the New Year, so let me find Miss Xiaoyue to hand over Mr. Pan's manuscript fee this year." After speaking, he looked up at Satsuki. Xiao Yue knew that he had doubts in his heart, so he said: "Steward Huang also explained this matter to me, I am only responsible for signing the cashier, and I don't know anything else." ”
However, Yun Siye said again: "I'm afraid this matter is a bit tortuous. After a pause, he continued: "Originally, Mr. Pan was going to hand over the first draft of next year's book to me this time, and then plan for next year's new book. Then he looked up at Satsuki again, and said, "It's just that he didn't have time to come back this time, and the new book is said to have not been completed yet." Xiao Yue was a little suspicious in her heart, thinking that this Yun Siye was telling her what she was doing.
Yun Siye continued: "Actually, some time ago, Mr. Pan also sent me a letter. He took a sip of tea and said, "He also mentioned you in the letter, but he called you Xiaoyue Gongzi." Xiao Yue was happy in her heart, this Yun Siye was probably confused by her identity, a son for a while, a girl for a while, and now she is still a pregnant woman.
However, Fourth Master Yun looked calm, and he was probably well-informed, so he was not too surprised, and said: "But Steward Huang also told me, in fact, you are a woman." Then, after looking at Xiao Yue, he said, "Sure enough, it's a strange woman, extraordinary." Xiao Yue was suddenly praised by him like this, and she couldn't stand it a little, and blushed and said, "Fourth Master Yun praised it falsely, I really don't dare to take it." ”
Yun Siye waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, I don't know how to say polite words, Mr. Pan praised you in the letter, I rarely see him so optimistic about a descendant, so this time I came to admire the moon girl." "Thousands of clothes don't wear sycophants, Xiao Yue heard this, and was still a little worried, afraid that something was going to happen. Sure enough, as Xiao Yue expected, Yun Siye finally had a showdown: "Mr. Pan recommended you to me in the letter, saying that you have a strange idea, clear logic, ingenious ideas, and a rare genius who writes books, and this new book that will be launched next year needs your support!"
Although Xiaoyue can be regarded as a rich school, she has a specialization in art, and she is not a literary youth and a lover of literature, so this writing book is too difficult for her, so she is silent and unwilling to talk. Seeing her embarrassed, Yun Siye said a little anxiously: "If the new book is new next year, the time required is a little rushed, so please don't worry about the manuscript fee." "Satsuki is not a vassal and elegant person, nor is she a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and the habit she has cultivated from her years of professional training is to do everything according to pragmatism and maximize profits, so when she heard about money, her eyes suddenly lit up. After all, it is not a long-term solution to eat and drink with Wen Youyou now, and she doesn't think it is in line with her current situation if she has money or not. Seeing her expression, Yun Siye thought that Mr. Pan was really accurate in looking at people, and he could lure this person after calculating it, so he struck the iron while it was hot and said, "Miss Yue, in addition to Mr. Pan's manuscript fee, I also brought the deposit for the manuscript with you." Saying that, she took out the silver ticket from her sleeve, Xiao Yue squinted at it, and thought, this is real money, but what if the book is not written well, what is the difference, so she said slowly: "Fourth Master Yun, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I don't have any experience in writing a notebook, I'm afraid I won't be able to take this errand." Yun Siye smiled and said, "Miss Yue, don't worry, Mr. Pan said in the letter that after you finish writing the first draft, he will be responsible for finalizing it." Xiao Yue thought to herself, this old fox is really powerful, everything is fine. So, she didn't shirk and agreed. Yun Siye continued: "In a few days, I will send a scholar to help Miss Yue write, whether it is related to writing or unrelated, you can let this person run errands." Xiaoyue thought to herself, and she also got a secretary, which is really good, and she happily agreed. Yun Siye handed over the silver ticket to Xiaoyue and took his leave.
Xiao Yue sent Yun Siye away, and was alone in the study thinking about what to write in a notebook to deal with errands, and her scalp was cut off a lot, but she still didn't come up with it.
At this time, Wen Youyou walked into the study, saw Xiao Yue's distorted expression, and laughed directly, which startled Xiao Yue.
"Wow, you can't make a sound when you walk, Wen Ghost!" Satsuki glared at him angrily.
Wen Youyou scratched his head and said, "Wen Youyun, poker face, Lan Yan, how many names are you going to give me?" Xiao Yue didn't get angry when she heard this, she stopped taking advantage of it anyway, and said, "That's not your own fault!"
Wen Youyou smiled and said, "Looking at your distressed appearance, is that book stumped you?" Xiao Yue said flatly: "The probability of this kind of thing happening is very low, I have other worries." Wen Youyou didn't answer, he poured a cup of tea, and was about to drink it, when he saw a cup of cold tea on the table, he was wondering, and wanted to ask Xiaoyue who had come. As a result, Xiao Yue asked mysteriously: "Wen Youyou, do you know who the owner of this Anfu is?"
Wen Youyou thought to herself what the problem was, and said, "Didn't you say that it was your relative before?"
Xiao Yue smiled and said, "No, no, no, it's a nobleman below." ”
Wen Youyou looked puzzled. Xiao Yue thought that Old Man Pan would return to Anfu after a while, and he would not be able to hide Wen Youyou at that time, so it was better to tell him earlier, lest he feel that he was not a friend enough. So, Xiao Yue told Wen Youyou how she met Old Man Pan and the trust of the fourth master just now.
Wen Youyou couldn't believe that he was actually in the house of a well-known book writer, and Xiao Yue might become a well-known book writer in the future, and his expression was a little trance-like. Then Xiao Yue said with a sad face: "Actually, I don't know if I can write a good book." Wen Youyou listened to it, and immediately encouraged her: "What kind of character is Mr. Pan, he thinks you can do it, don't worry, first look at Mr. Pan's previous works, and then start writing." Xiao Yue had no choice but to nod when she heard this.
