Chapter 158
Fourth Master didn't know that the woman was testing him.
But he has always only liked to control others, and he didn't like to be controlled or manipulated by others.
Be it business or love.
So, he said frankly: "Since the Lord has explained to you, there is nothing to worry about."
He mainly wanted to exercise her housekeeping skills.
In this way, if he has to go out to do errands, she can protect herself.
Ruoyin let out a long "oh", looking cute.
It seems that fourth master is very careful not to fall into the trap.
However, she just tried it out.
See if he cares, if so, it's the one who offended her.
Then, for his sake, she will definitely...be cruel!
Since he has nothing to worry about, don't blame her for being rude.
Mrs. Li was pregnant, so she could only find those servants to discourage her last time.
Everything has to wait until Li's delivery is over.
She doesn't want to wear the hat of the main room killing the concubine during pregnancy.
Otherwise, if it gets to Kangxi, her status as the main wife will be lost.
Fei Yanggu's family had to be implicated.
Besides, Li Shi hates her, but the child in her belly has no hatred against her.
As for the Niu Colu family, hehehehe......
As a result, when she was thinking about how to deal with Niu Gulushi.
I heard the fourth master say: "By the way, it will be Huang Ama's birthday in three days. You should prepare in advance."
"Okay, I'll get someone ready when I get back to the house." Ruoyin immediately recovered from her thoughts.
Kangxi's birthday, this is a big event, and it cannot be sloppy.
Fourth master immediately changed his face when he saw her, thinking that she could still distinguish between priorities.
He said: "The cake you made for Grandpa last time was pretty good. This time, let the servants make one for Huang Ama."
Ruoyin said "Ah?", and then suddenly realized: "This can be, but I don't know what style to make."
It seems that he was very satisfied with the cake she made last time.
Otherwise, I wouldn't think of asking her to make one for Kangxi.
It's just that she knew about Kangxi, except in history.
The rest, she knows nothing.
So, of course I have to ask fourth master.
"It doesn't need to be too fancy, filial piety and kindness are the most important thing. Anyway, there are birthday characters and birthday greetings, so you can figure it out." Fourth Master casually mentioned it.
During these days, he also saw it.
The woman looks a little silly, but at critical moments, she still knows how to measure.
Ruoyin memorized his words in his mind, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wrap this on me. However, I want to ask you, how many people are there for Huang Ama's birthday banquet?"
"It's not a whole life. There shouldn't be many people. Just some officials in the capital and members of the royal family. There are hundreds of people in total." The fourth master replied.
"Thank you for letting me know. I think I should know what to do." Ruoyin nodded.
It seems that she has to finish her work for a while, and then have a good time with Niu Gulushi.
For the next few days, Ruoyin stayed in the dining room making cakes.
In her previous life, she loved baking, whether it was biscuits or cakes.
Last time it was Siye's birthday, she was pregnant, so it was inconvenient to do it by herself.
On Kangxi's birthday this time, Hongyi had already been born.
With the help of servants and nurses, she can get out and do it herself.
One is that the cake made for Kangxi this time is a bit big, and there are more novel ideas.
She was worried that the servants could not do well, and if they messed up, it would be bad.
The second is that she hasn't done baking for a long time, and she also wants to practice.
On the eve of Kangxi's birthday, Ruoyin was wearing a dark apron with a white cat embroidered on it.
This apron was specially made by her servants.
The cat is specially embroidered according to the cat under the four-leaf clover arrangement.
She looked at the huge cake in front of her, nodded with satisfaction, and told the servants: "Be careful, you must remember to handle it with care, move this to the ice cellar and freeze it, it will be sent to the palace tomorrow morning."
"Yes." After the servants agreed, they carried the cake and walked out the door.
At this moment, someone outside sang an announcement: "The fourth master is here."
Ruoyin raised his eyebrows in surprise, it was really rare for fourth master to come to the dining room.
Before she had time to go outside, she saw that fourth master had already entered the house.
"Fourth Master is auspicious." She saluted with a blessed body.
"No." The man helped her up, then turned to look at the cakes being carried by everyone.
Originally, he just glanced casually.
However, the cake was so eye-catching, he looked at it a few more times.
At that moment, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
There is such a big cake...is it too big?
But he thought about it again, the birthday party tomorrow was full of people, so it seemed just right.
He was not very relieved at first, but he suddenly felt that women were reliable in handling affairs.
He just mentioned a few words that day, and she got the hang of it.
And many things are made according to Kangxi's preferences.
Then, with a big wave of his palm, he ordered the servant who was carrying the cake: "Go and do what you should do."
Hearing this, those servants dared to carry the cake away.
Ruoyin smiled and said, "Master, why are you in the dining room?"
Fourth Master didn't reply to her words, but just looked at the woman.
I saw her wearing a cute apron with white cats embroidered on it, which fit her usual image.
Her body and hands were still covered with cake powder.
When he went to the main courtyard just now, the servant said that she was here, so he was curious and wanted to take a look.
He pulled his lips and asked, "Did you make the cake yourself?"
"Yes." She replied with certainty.
"Let's leave these small things to the servants." After saying that, Fourth Master walked out, preparing to go to her main courtyard.
Ruoyin followed, and said, "This cake is a bit complicated, I'm worried that the servants won't be able to make it well."
Si Ye paused, "I've worked hard for you these past few days."
"It's rare for the lord to tell me something serious, and it's Huang Ama's birthday, so I should be more careful." I think that many princes will send Kangxi birthday gifts tomorrow to show their filial piety.
The cake she made represented fourth master's wishes.
Of course not careless.
Otherwise, both she and fourth master would be embarrassed and make jokes.
Fourth master gave a faint "hmm" and walked towards the main courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Ruoyin followed fourth master, thinking that he knew Kangxi better than she did.
Then he asked cautiously: "Master, do you think Huang Ama will like what I made?"
"I think it's good, but I still got tomorrow, depending on whether it suits Huang Ama's wishes." The fourth master said lightly.
Since fourth master was so picky, he said it was fine, Ruoyin felt half relieved.
After returning to the main courtyard, the servants prepared water for them to bathe.
Because Ruoyin was covered with various ingredients, he and fourth master bathed separately, and were served by different servants.
