The eighth prince nodded immediately: "Lao Jiu has such a temper. He will give his heart, liver, and lungs to anyone who treats him well."
As he said that, he also frowned a little: "By the way, go and get some interesting, new-looking birds and send them to Master Jiu later. He likes that one."
After hearing this, the steward nodded immediately.
Then Fa Ge, holding a teacup in his hand, looked at it carefully, seeming to be deep in thought.
"ah!!"
Brother Ba suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his head. He groaned in pain, held his head with both hands, and his face became ferocious.
He lowered his head and banged his head on the chessboard, causing all the messy chess pieces to fall to the ground.
When the steward saw this situation, he panicked and immediately came over and shouted anxiously: "Master, Master, what's wrong with you?"
He was frightened and a little confused, not knowing what to do.
Just when the housekeeper was about to call for a doctor, the eighth prince suddenly sat up.
Seeing that he seemed to be calmer, the butler wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked anxiously: "Master, where did you feel uncomfortable just now?"
The eighth elder brother frowned and looked at the steward in front of him: "Why are you here?" His eyes were clear.
The butler's face was full of shock. He didn't understand why his master was completely different for such a short time. He hesitated and said: "Master, you just met Nian Gengyao here."
"Nian Gengyao?" A trace of confusion flashed through the eighth elder brother.
Then he remembered this person, and frowned but did not continue. He turned his eyes around and didn't find his personal eunuch, so he asked: "Where is Quanfu?"
Manager Liu immediately replied: "Quan Fu is guarding outside, but you want to see him now?"
The eighth prince nodded, then rubbed his forehead, and drank the tea in one irritation. He knew that he had failed to control himself and had released the man who had returned from many years later.
Brother Ba was extremely irritable at the moment, and his fists clenched loudly. But then he realized something, and immediately took two more sips of tea, trying to calm down his mood.
…
Nian Gengyao, after much hesitation, went to Fourth Master's place.
This matter is not a trivial matter, and even if Fourth Master said it, he would feel a little unsure.
It happened that the fourth master was reading official documents in the front yard in the evening. He was surprised when his servant said that Nian Gengyao had arrived, and then he was immediately invited in.
"Why is Liang Gong free to come here today?"
Fourth Master said, pointing to the seat over there and motioning for him to sit down.
Nian Gengyao frowned and didn't have time to sit down. He went straight to the point and said, "Your Majesty, the Eighth Master has invited me down for tea today."
After hearing this, Fourth Master raised his eyebrows in surprise. If it was just to drink tea, Liang Gong wouldn't come here so late, right?
"What's going on? Liang Gong sat down and spoke slowly." For some reason, something suddenly popped into the fourth master's mind about what Chu Yu had asked him to beware of the eighth elder brother.
Nian Gengyao then told the Fourth Master about the matter, but concealed some of the more controversial words.
For example, if the Eighth Prince said something about his young self, it is very possible that he just made a slip of the tongue.
Don't let him tell these crazy things to Fourth Master, or Fourth Master will think that he is not normal again.
However, what Eighth Prince said seems to be quite abnormal.
"That's it... Wei Chen will come back later."
After hearing this, the fourth master also frowned in thought, with a slightly surprised look on his face.
Liang Gong was talented, and the fourth master was very optimistic about him. However, the fourth master always wanted to train Nian Gengyao as a civil servant. Lao Ba's words made him a military attaché.
Fourth Master guessed that Lao Ba's actions were probably to win over Liang Gong. If not, why would he bother to do so.
He didn't know that his eighth brother had such ambitions.
I just don’t know if Badi said this to Liang Gong because he wanted to use Liang Gong’s mouth to tell him, or because he didn’t expect that Liang Gong would tell him this?
Also, Fourth Master didn't believe him when he said he could tell fortunes.
It's not that I don't believe that he can tell fortunes, but I don't believe that these words will come out of his mouth. I always feel that something is wrong.
In addition, he actually knew about the governor of Huguang. The fourth master pondered for a while and then said: "What Lao Ba said is right. Your father has been in office for so many years and has achieved great results. If you want to be the next governor of Huguang, it is very important.
It belongs to him."
In fact, when Nian Xialing was an official in the capital, he was not particularly outstanding, but he did not expect that after taking office, he did several major things.
Nian Gengyao was surprised after hearing what Fourth Master said: "If this is the case, then it is really a good thing."
"Su Peisheng, go get a chessboard." He turned back to Nian Gengyao and said, "Liang Gong, do you still remember how you two laid it out?"
"Yes, I remember." Nian Gengyao nodded.
In the following time, Fourth Master and Nian Gengyao restored the entire chess game just now.
Nian Gengyao rarely experienced such setbacks. Therefore, he remembered these two games of chess very clearly, and he had a good move.
However, the fourth master felt that this way of playing chess was too strange. It was not his eighth brother's way, but there was a bit of his eighth brother's way, and it was completely different from his temperament. It was really a bit disappointing.
Puzzling.
After the two of them finished playing the chess game and frowned in thought, Jiang Fuhai arrived in the front yard:
"Brother Su, Fujin wants to ask the prince about when he will return. Today Fujin made the soup himself and will drink it together when the prince returns." After hearing this, Su Peisheng frowned. Before he could speak, he heard the sound from inside the door.
He said: "Tell Fujin that I will go back in a while."
Nian Gengyao's face also showed a bit of fatigue. After hearing Si Jie's words, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I won't bother you with that humble minister. I'll take my leave first."
The fourth master nodded: "Well, I know about this matter. There is no need to take it too seriously. It's getting late. Liang Gong should go back and rest early."
Nian Gengyao immediately crossed his fists and left quickly. When he went out, he was still thinking that a person like Si Fujin could make soup with his own hands.
After sending Nian Gengyao away, Fourth Master returned to the main courtyard as quickly as possible.
Chu Yu was sitting on the table, resting her head on her hands, waiting for him. When she saw him coming back, she immediately ran over.
The Fourth Master caught her and said, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"If I don't come back, how can I sleep? Look, Yu'er is alone in such a big bed, so lonely~ lonely~ and cold~" As he said this, he also winked at the Fourth Master, and his little hands were busy.
