Chapter 17: The Matter of Dim Sum

  The gege is one level higher than the shiqie, but at present, it doesn't mean much.

  After everyone has paid their respects, the concubine can also take a seat.

  At this time, Fu Jin and Ce Fu Jin did not come, Ge Ge was in charge. Song Shi took the lead.

  After all, she was the first to enter the mansion as a gege, a whole month earlier than Li Ce Fu Jun. The Fourth Master had also doted on her before.

  It's just that she herself is too weak-willed, and after giving birth to a child, she couldn't even keep it safe. Gradually, Fourth Master stopped loving her.

  Fourth Master doesn't like women who are too overbearing, but he dislikes even more those who are too soft and weak.

  The Song family's loss of imperial favor was inevitable.

  Nowadays, Song Shi, although she may not be able to serve Fourth Master once a year, after all, she is still the first woman of Fourth Master, so there is still some status.

  She sat down, and then everyone else followed suit.

  "Today is a good day for Wu Gege, let's have a few more cups, it's our celebration for you." Song Gege said with a smile, raising her wine cup.

  Wu Gege hurriedly followed and said: "Thank you, Sister Song."

  Song smiled and drank a cup with her.

  Then there is Yin Gege, Yin Gege should be a talkative person, but after entering the mansion for several years, she didn't gain favor and was also suppressed by Li Ce Fujun, now she also tries not to speak as much as possible.

  After the two princesses finished their toast, it was the turn of the concubines.

  Chang's first, Zhang's second, and Ye is last.

  "Here's to you, Princess, may you soon gain favor."

  "Thank you, Ye sister, but Ye sister is even more spoiled. I hope you give birth to a little brother soon." Wu Gege was still young and inexperienced, so her words revealed some of it.

  Ye Zao was stunned at the time, then forced a smile, with a look of being struck.

  But in her heart, she was disdainful and scornful. Can't you tolerate this? With your appearance... think about it carefully.

  Everyone was stunned for a moment, and in their hearts, each had their own thoughts.

  After dispersing, take advantage of the night to go back.

  Song Gege and Zhang Niang walked together.

  "This Wu Gege is indeed hot-tempered." Zhang Shi smiled and said: "Actually, you don't have to go today."

  "I just entered the mansion a bit earlier, where is the nobility? Wu Gege has just entered the mansion and it's not uncommon to feel a little unfair." Song Gege said calmly.

  "It's not that I blame Ye for serving Master yesterday, but it shouldn't be said out loud." Zhang said quietly, twisting her handkerchief.

  "Yè is just a concubine, she didn't go to find the master, it's still the master's idea. You also have some thoughts in your heart." In fact, living with her, Sòng doesn't want Zhāng girl to get into trouble.

  "There are many slaves, let's go back, it's quite cold." Zhang also had nothing to say.

  She was destined to be out of favor, Changshi was obviously several years older than her, but she could still see the fourth master, while she couldn't...

  Ye Zao hasn't returned yet and was hijacked halfway...

  Arriving at the front yard, Ye Zao greeted Fourth Master and then said in a spoiled manner: "Master, please give your servant some snacks to eat..."

  That tone is pitiful beyond words.

  Fourth Master was taken aback: "Didn't you just come down from the banquet?"

  After saying that, I also feel redundant, there's nothing good to eat at the banquet...

  "Go to those points." Fourth Master ordered.

  Yun Ning responded with a sound and turned around to leave.

  When the servants brought in the refreshments, she accepted them but did not bring them inside, instead going straight next door.

  No one asked, Su Peisheng had a number in her heart, she didn't dare to be naughty, at most it was just making things difficult for Ye Shi...

  Su Peisheng shook his head, this is courting death, although Ye Shi wasn't a public one, but after all, she was the legitimate wife of Fourth Master, wasn't she?

  You're a servant... Are you looking for trouble? Fine, let's call him over and see how this play unfolds.

  But in fact, Yuning did nothing.

  Originally, it was supposed to be sprinkled with salt on that plate of salty pastries, and expected Ye Shi would also not dare to say much.

  But... she couldn't be certain either, after all Ye Shi was currently in favor.

  What if she dares to? At that time, I'm afraid Fourth Master will blame the kitchen, and if the kitchen is blamed, they won't let it go. Once they start investigating, things will get ugly.

  At least Su Peisheng will definitely not help her cover it up.

  So, gritting his teeth, he still sent it as is.

  Four dim sum dishes: red bean pastry, pea shoots and egg tart, pepper salt pastry, pumpkin cake. Served with a jug of milk.

  Yun Ning hummed and the kitchen was also clever.

  After sending it in, Ye Zao took a look and smiled softly: "Thank you, Miss Yu Ning."

  Yun Ning also smiled: "No need for formalities."

  After Yu Ning left, Ye Zao poured himself a glass of milk: "We have this at home too."

  Fourth Master nodded and said, "Since you're hungry, then eat."

  Having said that, he went off to write big characters by himself.

  Bayberry is very carefree when eating, and after these days of getting along, she has also figured it out.

  Fourth Master is not easy to deal with.

  You can't touch his reverse scales, alas, and still don't know where the reverse scales are... Failure...

  Then, you can't be too casual and break the rules, such as provoking someone of a higher status than yours.

  Can't be too tough, but can't be too weak either.

  A woman who dares nothing is easily out of favor... Example one: Song Gege. Example two: Yin Gege.

  So, Ye Zao gradually let loose his behavior, just like asking Fourth Master for small things.

  Yes, today's dim sum is very good.

  Even if she was just a concubine, as long as Fourth Master was willing, Ye Zao could be carefree.

  It's obvious that he's a self-abasing man who kneels down at the slightest provocation and apologizes for every word, what kind of masochistic man would like that...

  Ye Zao eats leisurely and contentedly, but Fourth Master can't concentrate on writing.

  From time to time go listen.

  Ke Ye's dates are too regular, no matter what he eats, there is no sound.

  Only occasionally was there the sound of her feet moving slightly.

  The less sound there was, the more Fourth Master felt like listening; this went back and forth, so he simply put down his pen and stopped writing.

  "Grandfather... did I disturb you?" Ye Zao looked up at Fourth Master with wide eyes, still holding half of a salted pepper pastry in his hand, this is really delicious.

  Fourth Master smiled wryly: "Eat yours then."

  This girl can also eat a lot, four plates of dim sum are almost gone.

  Subconsciously glanced at her belly, but didn't see it getting bigger, she really can eat.

  "Does the master need me to help him wash his hands?" Ye Zao hastily swallowed that piece and stood up, saying.

  "Have you eaten enough? Although I'm not wealthy, it's not like I'd let you go hungry. Not enough? Let me add a few more dishes?" Fourth Master looked at her.

  Her face turned red: "Delicious..."

  Fourth Master wanted to say something, and then thought about it again, oh right, there's no dim sum in the concubine's allowance...

  They either eat what is given to them by their masters or spend their own money.

  The Ye family is also good, but it's not worth spending so much money on... especially since she's a concubine-born daughter.

  Fourth Master thought this girl was quite pitiful.

  But this time, it's really Fourth Master's own imagination, Ye Zao didn't mean that at all.

  So, on the next day, after seeing the point heart, I was stunned... Fourth Master is too... considerate!
