The Fourth Master's Dog

Su Peisheng looked at the mini fat dog on the cushion that was grinning at him, and couldn't help but smile. How could anyone not like such a cute and clever little thing?

Su Peisheng thought that even after he had said this, the little ancestor still had no doubts at all.

It seems that his master has a difficult road ahead, even if the master kissed the little ancestor in person and said that he liked her.

This little ancestor might even think that it was his father and was showing him love and care.

Now the master can't blame him, he really tried his best.

She has said what she should say and what she shouldn't say. This little girl is pure and innocent and she doesn't have any wrong thoughts at all.

I even thought about him, but not myself.

Also.

My little ancestor is living a very happy life now, and he is still young. He has not even thought about love affairs, and all he does all day long is eating, drinking and having fun.

Su Peisheng spent the rest of his time hanging out and chatting with this little ancestor.

We talked about the gossip about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then talked about the gossip about the Eighth Prince who got married not long ago.

Su Peisheng told the little ancestor everything that could be said in the palace.

Duofu listened with great interest, but he didn't know that the Eighth Prince's wife was not really as bright and generous as Su Peisheng said. Su Peisheng did say that the Eighth Prince's wife had a high status, even higher than the status of his own shit scooper's wife.

However, the Eighth Prince's first wife was very jealous and would not allow the Eighth Prince to spend the night with other people.

It’s good to have a high status and position, and the princes have to obey her.

Duofu thought about it and realized it was his owner's virtuous and generous wife.

Anyway, while living in the mansion, he had never heard anyone say that the concubine was jealous, and sometimes she even pushed the Fourth Prince to go to other people.

Duofu didn't see it with his own eyes, but heard it from the eunuchs who served him or from Su Peisheng.

In total, he had only met the Fourth Prince's wife a few times. Instead, he met his sons who came to study in the front yard more often.

When Duofu thought of the Fourth Prince's son, he missed his chubby little boy.

Li Gege really knows how to raise a son. When they set out for Jiangnan, her belly should have been four or five months big. Maybe when they return, she will give the Fourth Prince another big fat boy.

Little babies are sometimes quite fun, especially when they are about three heads tall. They are cute and pretty, but they are not fun anymore when they grow up a little.

I don’t know when he will be able to have a son to play with.

Duofu calculated his age. He should be 14 years old now, so he will have to wait at least five or six years.

Only then can he find a beautiful wife who will give birth to a fat baby as beautiful as him.

By then, the three of them will hold on to the Fourth Prince's thigh tightly, and they can all eat the golden thigh together.

Duofu thought happily that a few years ago his owner told him that he would find him a beautiful wife.

Why didn’t his owner tell him that he is bigger now? Is his owner afraid that he will be embarrassed?

Duofu shook his head and dismissed this possibility.

Certainly not.

Maybe the owner has been too busy recently, and the older he gets, the more responsibilities he has to bear.

Now the shit scooper has at least established his foothold in the court. Next time when Kangxi bestows positions, he might be able to become a prince.

Duofu's belly was full from the snacks that Su Peisheng gave him.

I don’t know if it’s because of the gossip we just had, but I feel energetic all over.

Now he didn't feel dizzy at all.

I just stay in this small place on the boat all the time, and the scenery outside is always the same. I get a little bored after looking at it for a long time.

Duofu is a very honest little boy. He chatted with Su Peisheng about gossip.

He resisted the urge to share and didn't say a single word in front of the Fourth Prince.

The next few days were spent on this boat. Duofu looked at the fish feast on the table and felt a little nauseous.

He has eaten fish for several days.

He doesn't want to eat fish today. He wants to eat roast duck, pork elbow, and lamb chops.

He didn't want to look at these fish. He had really tried all eighteen ways of eating fish in the past few days.

Braised, steamed, sweet and sour, hot and sour, pickled vegetables... He even got tired of eating his favorite squirrel mandarin fish at the beginning.

Duofu looked pitifully at the Fourth Prince who was sitting next to him and eating leisurely.

After so many days, isn’t his owner tired of eating it yet?

Su Peisheng was also helpless. Although there were other dishes in the kitchen, they had to be prepared for His Majesty. The ingredients brought out were limited, and only these fish were in unlimited supply.

And it’s fresh.

He has been eating these days and he has a bit of trouble eating.

Su Peisheng could only smile and hurriedly comfort Duofu, who had lost his appetite.

"My dear, hold on for another day or two. You should be able to stop by to rest and tidy up. Then ask the master to take you ashore to eat something delicious and pack some food that can be kept for a long time."

Duofu felt like his ears were callused after hearing this reason. Su Peisheng said the same thing a few days ago.

We said that when we get to the next pier, we will stop to sort things out and then we can go have some delicious food. But that pier is really far away and we haven’t arrived yet even after two or three days.

The speed of the ship was not slow. It had been sailing smoothly recently and the speed was even faster. However, it seemed like it had no end and it just couldn't reach the dock.

Duofu looked at the fish. If he ate any more, he would turn into a cat. He was a dog, not a cat, so there was no reason for him to eat fish all day long.

The dried meat he brought was gone a few days ago. If he had known earlier, he should have asked Su Peisheng to prepare more.

The Fourth Prince also looked at Duofu helplessly. They had only been walking for half a month, and it would take at least another half a month before they could go ashore to rest and replenish supplies.

It was also the first time for him to follow the Emperor on a dragon boat trip to the south of the Yangtze River. He had no experience on the road. He did not expect that the meat he had prepared for more than a month would be finished by this little ancestor in just half a month.

You can eat it whenever you want, so of course it will be consumed quickly.

The Fourth Prince put down his chopsticks and looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table.

It’s not just fish, there’s also a bowl of green vegetables.

However, in the eyes of my little ancestor, this little vegetable may not be as delicious as the disgusting fish.

The Fourth Prince did not force his little ancestor to eat, but asked Su Peisheng to stew a bowl of bird's nest for him. It would be the same if he didn't eat rice.

Just don't let him starve.

When Su Peisheng heard the order, he quickly calculated in his mind how much bird's nest he had prepared was left, as this little ancestor refused to eat.

He has been stewing bird's nests for three meals a day these past two days. People who don't know him might wonder what's wrong with the Fourth Prince. He doesn't bring any women with him, and he stews bird's nests all day long. His body must be so weak.

Su Peisheng did not want to arouse unnecessary suspicion.

I always go at a different time from everyone else, either earlier or later, and never get together with others.

Su Peisheng really wanted to tell his master that if he continued to eat bird's nest like this, his body would become weak.

I didn’t bring much bird’s nest this time, what should I do after I finish eating it?

Forget it, this is not something he should worry about. The master will definitely ask for it when the time comes anyway.

Either ask His Majesty for some, or ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for some.

I will never let this little ancestor starve.
