Chapter 163
Refers to The Cat as The Tiger
The entire Su residence was lively . Waves of warmth had emitted from within the snow and ice .
Steward Qin chuckled as he watched the people playing around and even ran to the side of Yue w.a.n.g to encouraged him . "w.a.n.g Ye, you are also a junior of Madam Su . Why don"t you go over and help serve some dishes to earn a red envelope?"
Yue w.a.n.g"s expression grew tenser, and the light in his eyes become uncertain .
Steward Qin knew that he had to stop there . After he finished speaking, he immediately went to the kitchen to help out .
After enthusiastically eating lunch, Mu Yunyao saw that Jin Lan and the others all received the rewards and slyly suggested playing Poker .
Jin Lan and the others were a little hesitant . "Miss, this is the reward we just received . You can"t be thinking of winning again, right?"
Mu Yunyao blinked her eyes innocently, "This Poker doesn"t seem like an ice play, it all depends on luck to play it . Could it be that the heavens can still especially look after me?"
Jin Lan and the others agreed . Ice play relied on strength to play, but Poker didn"t . It was a great time to win against Young Miss . "Alright . If Miss lose later, don"t complain to Madam . "
"Of course . " Mu Yunyao replied with a smile . After she finished speaking, she immediately felt the Yue w.a.n.g"s cold gaze, causing her fingers to tremble uncontrollably . She hurriedly turned her head and asked with a smile, "Fourth Master, do you want to play a few games too?"
"I don"t know much about it . " Yue w.a.n.g said hesitantly . He had already stood up and walked to the table, sitting on the left side of Mu Yunyao .
Mu Yunyao originally wanted to say `it"s okay, but when she saw this scene, she silently swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue . Right now, she felt more and more amazed, as her understanding of Yue w.a.n.g changed all the time . She really doesn"t know what the real Yue w.a.n.g was .
In her previous life, Mu Yunyao had always been an expert at playing Poker . After playing two rounds, she had gotten used to it and then became an ever victorious general . Very quickly, she won over half of the red envelopes in Jin Lan and Jin Qiao"s hands .
Jin Lan couldn"t help but wail, "Miss, didn"t you say that playing Poker depends on luck?"
"Of course, what else can I rely on other than luck?" Mu Yunyao blinked her eyes innocently .
Jin Lan mumbled to herself as she pulled Jin Pei up . The red envelope in her hand had already flown away before it could even warm up . As a good sister, the others naturally had to do the same .
But in the following two matches, Mu Yunyao surprisingly lost .
Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but blink her eyes when she saw Yue w.a.n.g, who plays the card unhurriedly . She kept having the feeling that Yue w.a.n.g had already known what cards she held in her hands . As expected, in the next few rounds, the silvers taels on Yue w.a.n.g"s hands were almost unable to be put down .
"Fourth Master, why do you always win the cards?"
A trace of a smile flashed past Yue w.a.n.g"s eyes . It was rare for him to smile so easily . The arc on his lips was so small: "Good luck . "
Mu Yunyao"s breath tightened . When she saw that Su Qing had called for people to help her prepare the food, she immediately threw away her cards and followed her out .
Jin Lan and the others looked at each other . They dared to be at the poker table because Young Miss was sitting at the poker table . Now that Young Miss left, they didn"t dare to face Fourth Master alone . His eyes were really frightening .
Fortunately, Yue w.a.n.g also put down his cards, telling Yu Heng to keep the silver taels on the table, and went to the courtyard to enjoy the snow .
In the kitchen, Mu Yunyao helped out with the cooking and watched as Su Qing steamed the flour for the Chinese Zodiac to worship the sky . "I"m a rabbit . Mother, I want you to make the rabbit more lovely, and I still want to eat it after cooking!"
"Got it, every time you celebrate the New Year, you say the same thing . " Su Qing"s fingers moved nimbly, and with a few movements, a small and lively rabbit appeared in her hands .
Mu Yunyao rested her chin on her hands as she smiled . "If you don"t make it cuter, how can it be a match of me?"
"Your face is not like a rabbit"s, but like the last one in the Chinese Zodiac . " As Su Qing said this, she used her hand to scratch the tip of Mu Yunyao"s nose .
Mu Yunyao wrinkled her nose and didn"t wipe the flour on the tip of her nose . Instead, she said to Su Qing, "Who said that? Mother, touch it and see if my face is so thin and fragile?"
"It"s as thick as a city wall!"
"Who said that I wanted to find someone to judge . Where is Steward Qin?" As Mu Yunyao spoke, she turned around to look for someone . She didn"t expect that she couldn"t find Steward Qin, but she saw Yue w.a.n.g holding his hand as he slowly walked in . She immediately shut her mouth, almost biting the tip of her tongue . Why did it seem like this person was lingering around like a ghost?
Yue w.a.n.g had long since heard the conversation between Mu Yunyao and Su Qing, and his gaze couldn"t help but fall onto the bamboo steamer . The complete set of Chinese Zodiac signs had made, and it looked so adorable in different shapes .
Su Qing also saw Yue w.a.n.g . She hurriedly smiled and said, "Young Master Ning, why are you here as well? The kitchen is very stuffy . Don"t dirty your clothes . "
"Madam, may I help you?"
Su Qing"s face was full of astonishment . Dali Dynasty paid attention to the fact that a gentleman was far away from the kitchen . Someone like Young Master Ning would never know what the kitchen looked like all his life . "This …" Yue w.a.n.g went to the water basin to wash his hands, picked up a lump of dough, and gently kneaded it in his hands . Not long later, he squeezed out a chubby mandarin duck cat, which had coiled into a semicircle, slightly squinting its eyes, and its tail wrapped around its body . It looked like sleeping soundly and extremely cute .
Su Qing was even more surprised . "I can"t believe that Young Master Ning is this skilled!"
"I"ve carved some small items before . I think the dough is about the same . " After he finished speaking, he placed the mandarin duck cat on the steaming tray . He put it right next to the rabbit that Su Qing had just finished pinching . After he put it out, he glanced at Mu Yunyao .
Mu Yunyao felt extremely displeased and couldn"t help but point at the cat and ask, "Fourth Master, are you pinching a tiger?"
Yue w.a.n.g moved his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile in his eyes .
Su Qing couldn"t hold back her laughter, "How can there be such a small tiger? It is a cat . I"m afraid that it"s not even enough for a tiger to eat!"
"Mother, it looks like a tiger …" Mu Yunyao didn"t admit that she had seen it wrongly .
Yue w.a.n.g did not make a sound . He picked up a larger piece of dough and pinched a tiger out in a few strokes . In order to emphasize his ident.i.ty, he picked up a knife from the side and carefully engraved the word w.a.n.g on the tiger"s head . Then, he casually placed the tiger next to the mandarin duck cat .
With this, the contrast became even more intense . The tiger really could eat the cat with its mouth open .
Yue w.a.n.g looked at the fuming Mu Yunyao, and his gaze wavered slightly . "Miss Mu, do you want to pinch one as well?"
Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but raise her head and fiercely glare at Yue w.a.n.g .
Su Qing laughed directly, with tears in her eyes: "Haha, don"t let her do it . She can"t even rub the steamed buns well, much less pinch animals . Let her pinch a cat . She can pinch it and turn it into a toad!"
"Mother!" Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but blush . How could her mother say anything about her old bottom? Furthermore, she was in front of Yue w.a.n.g, and this person had lost a lot of faces .
Yue w.a.n.g looked at Mu Yunyao, whose face was slightly red . His gaze gradually turned gentle, and his heart had actually calmed down as well . Before, no matter what he did, his heart would always carry a ruthless killing intent . But now, he only felt tranquil, and the beauty made him unable to help the corners of his mouth to smile . Su Qing also felt a little unkind: "Alright, can"t Mother say anything? Quickly steam these exquisite membranes, and later we will have to sacrifice them to the heavens!"
