His gentle voice was bewitching as he took her hand and led her inside.
Things went smoothly, and Wei Changsheng couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.
But before he could be happy for long, his progress encountered resistance.
It was Wen Xiaorou who stood still.
Wei Changsheng's smile froze on his face, but soon it returned to a gentle look like jade.
"What's wrong, Xiaorou?"
"No! Not now!" Wen Xiaorou shook her head.
"Xiao Rou, you don't trust me? I promise, I'll just hug you and nothing else."
"No, I'm going to Youyou's tonight. She's getting married tomorrow, and as her bridesmaid, I have to go and prepare her dowry, bedding, and showers.
Youyou’s adoptive father is a bastard. I am her only relative now. There is no elder to teach her about customs, so I have to learn them for her.
Although feudal superstitions are being suppressed now, I don't think customs are superstitious. Even if they are superstitious, I'd rather believe them. It's pitiful for Youyou to be fatherless. I hope she can live a happy and harmonious life after she gets married."
"But I..."
"I won't talk to you now! Youyou is alone at home now, without any elders around. I guess she's crying and feeling sad! I'm leaving first!"
When she mentioned her friend, the pink and charming feeling in her heart just now disappeared without a trace. Without waiting for Wei Changsheng to finish speaking, she waved goodbye and left.
Wei Changsheng: "..."
The duck that was in his hand flew away, and Wei Changsheng kicked the tree next to him hard to vent his anger.
Not to mention, with his slender figure and temperament, this kick looks quite handsome.
But the next second, he hugged his foot and jumped around in embarrassment: "Hiss - it hurts so much! Damn it, even a broken-bark tree is against me!"
Wen Xiaorou had no idea that after she left, Wei Changsheng became completely different from his gentle and polite self in front of others.
After she came to Song Youyou's place, she worked like a tiger, helping her to organize her dowry and make her bedding according to the instructions of the elderly neighbors. She also used water boiled from several kinds of flowers and leaves, such as pomelo leaves and pomegranate leaves, to give her a bath.
Song Youyou looked at the strangely colored bath water, her face numb, and asked in a desperate struggle:
"Xiao Rou, let's just say...is this bath really necessary?"
"Not so good!"
"I've asked at least five or six maids, and they all said to wash with this. Don't underestimate this bucket of water. Everything in it has a meaning. For example, the ears of grain here will bring you prosperity in the future. And the pomegranates here, if you use the water boiled with them to bathe, you will have many children and grandchildren, and you will be rich and prosperous."
"Come on, don't waste time!" Wen Xiaorou was impatient and simply started to take off the clothes.
"No, no, you're scratching me like a tickle. I'll do it myself..." Song Youyou gave in.
It can't be said that she gave in, although she didn't believe that bathing in rice ears would make one rich and prosperous.
But she was touched by Wen Xiaorou's desire for her well-being.
With Wen Xiaorou's presence, the usually quiet house became much more lively. Perhaps because she felt more at ease, Song Youyou slept particularly well that night.
However, Gu Xiao from the compound hardly slept all night.
Thinking that tomorrow night there would be a lovely girl in his bed whom he thought about day and night, he had no desire to sleep at all.
So the next day, Gu Xiao got up before dawn.
After mentally confirming that nothing had been missed in the arrangements, he put on his uniform and medals.
Then he carefully took out the watch Song Youyou gave him from under the pillow and put it on, as if he was protecting a piece of fragile tofu.
After the sky got a little brighter, Lao Wu and his brothers came over.
Seeing that the usually nonchalant Gu Xiao had already made all the preparations and was on full alert, he couldn't help but tease:
"Hey, our brother Xiao is different from before~"
Gu Xiao said seriously, "Do you also think the watch on my hand looks good?"
Everyone: ???
What watch?
The fifth brother was stunned for a moment, then he came forward with a chuckle: "Brother Xiao is hard of hearing. It seems that being a prince is very stressful?"
"Well, how do you know this watch is a gift from my wife?"
Everyone: “…”
Lao Wu: “…” Turns out he’s not hard of hearing, he’s showing off!
Naked show off!!!
