Chapter 170 Hair Tangled
Amidst the jealous faces of his brothers, Tu Subo raised the corners of his mouth hypocritically and said with a smile: "After all, we are husband and wife. Your sister-in-law naturally regards me as her treasure, and you little guys are just..."
"Tu Subo."
"Um?"
Gu Yuexuan finally couldn't stand it anymore. She put down the rolling pin in her hand, interrupted Tu Subo's smug nonsense, and pointed to the kitchen door with a cold face: "You get out too."
Tu Subo's face couldn't help but twitch, then he lowered his head and said obediently, "Okay, I'll shut up."
"Xuanxuan, do you think it's okay to cut the mushrooms to this extent?"
Gu Yuexuan stuck her head out to check the results, while Tu Subo looked honest and simple.
Li watched the good show and couldn't help but smile and waved to the still angry brothers: "Go out and play quickly, don't make trouble here."
Tu Suminyang was still somewhat unwilling, and there was even a hint of expectation in his eyes, hoping to see Tu Subo make a fool of himself here.
But Tu Su Yanting grabbed his sleeve tightly and said, "We have to get up early to practice martial arts tomorrow, so let's not provoke Big Brother."
As the saying goes, adults are generous and usually don't argue with children.
But Tu Subo is obviously not among them.
He looks strong and powerful, but his heart is not much smaller than a needle tip.
Tu Su Minyang couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Tu Subo's tricks. He grabbed Tu Su Minxu, who was still confused, and ran away.
If you can't afford to provoke someone, can you just avoid them?
It is never too late for a villain to take revenge.
They will wait until the eldest brother is not around, and then go to the eldest sister-in-law to "create" something!
Without his younger brothers making trouble, tonight's dumplings became the most enjoyable meal Tu Subo had had in recent days.
There were no more strangely shaped doughs and no more mischievous surprises. Every dumpling in the bowl maintained a pleasing shape. In a good mood, he ate more than usual, and his appetite increased significantly.
After dinner, Yu took the initiative to wash the dishes and clean up the mess, while Gu Yuexuan could not wait to return to the house and start making a list. With the addition of a huge amount of money to the account, the purchase restrictions were greatly relaxed, and the things she wanted to buy this time also increased accordingly.
She lay on the bed, carefully checking every item on the list, fearing she'd missed something important. Meanwhile, Tu Subo finished washing up and walked in. He leaned against the door and asked softly, "Do you really not want me to come with you?"
Gu Yuexuan replied without even looking up: "No need."
Tu Subo walked to the bed and sat down, rubbing his fingertips, seeming a little hesitant: "Then is there anything you want to eat? I can buy it for you tomorrow."
Gu Yuexuan looked up at him, puzzled. Tu Subo handed her a mysterious object: "I'll give you something." She held out her hand and took it. It turned out to be a small dagger. The dagger was completely black, not a dirty color, but a deep color as if it had been baptized by countless blood. Even before it was unsheathed, it gave off a chilling aura.
Gu Yuexuan drew her dagger with curiosity, and unwittingly tested the blade on the ends of Tu Subo's still-dripping hair. The hair snapped cleanly the moment it made contact with the blade, making almost no sound. She gasped in surprise at the neatly severed ends of her hair in her palm.
"This dagger is so sharp?" she asked in surprise. "Isn't this a treasure?" Before Tu Subo could explain, he became the first "victim" of the knife. He rubbed his face helplessly, his voice slightly dull: "Xuanxuan, I gave you this new thing for you to use to protect yourself, not to torture me."
Gu Yuexuan belatedly remembered the ancient belief that one's hair and body are inherited from one's parents. She immediately grasped the broken hair in her palm, feeling somewhat amused and helpless: "I couldn't help but be curious."
Tu Subo looked at her and said softly, "This dagger may seem ordinary, but it's actually incredibly sharp. I gave it to you so you can defend yourself when you go out." He paused and continued, "If you encounter anyone with ill intentions, just protect yourself. I'll take care of the rest."
After hearing this, Gu Yuexuan felt that his worries were unnecessary. But no matter what, this dagger was his gift, and she would definitely keep it carefully and use it well.
There are endless crowds of people traveling between the county town and the villages every day. Even Xi Lanfang and others have traveled back and forth alone. Why is it that she alone seems destined to encounter trouble every time she travels?
Facing Tu Subo's frown, Gu Yuexuan was about to say something, but suddenly changed her mind and nodded vigorously to show respect.
"Okay, I understand."
"If I encounter trouble, I will definitely fight back! I promise..."
"Then you don't have to do that."
Tu Subo frowned and looked at Gu Yuexuan with a heavy gaze, who looked frivolous. He couldn't help but tap her eyebrows with his finger, his voice low and serious.
"It's natural for Second Aunt to want to visit Tu Su Min Fei, but you must never set foot in the gambling house."
"Just spend two copper coins outside the door and find a clever beggar to go in and tell him to lead Tu Su Min Fei out to meet you. Remember?"
Inside the gambling house, people of all kinds gather together, good and bad people are mixed together, and dirty things are flowing everywhere.
If Gu Yuexuan entered rashly, it would be like the bright moon in the sky falling into a mud ditch, which would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
His heart was filled with worry.
Gu Yuexuan held her chin and nodded continuously: "I remember, I remember. Is there anything else important that you forgot to say?"
Tu Subo stared at her expressionlessly, and suddenly reached out to push away her other hand hidden in the quilt.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Yuexuan said anxiously: "Tu Subo, it's wrong for you to do this, you..."
"What did I do wrong?"
Tu Subo firmly pried open her fingers, gently pulled out the black hair that was tangled in his palm, and smoothed it out. Under Gu Yuexuan's confused gaze, he quickly drew his dagger. A flash of cold light appeared, and a long strand of hair appeared in his hand.
Gu Yuexuan widened her eyes, and when she grabbed, she touched the prickly hair.
This person even cut her hair!
Sensing the anger flashing in her eyes, Tu Subo retracted the dagger, then hooked the red rope of the jade buckle hanging around his neck and calmly tangled the long and short hair together.
This was an extremely simple action, but under the slow pull of his slender fingers, the red rope and black hair were intertwined and entangled with each other, as if silently telling an indescribable attachment.
The black hair is tied with love.
The ceremony of tying the hair is the deepest trust between husband and wife.
This ceremony, which was supposed to be completed on the wedding day, was unexpectedly completed due to a series of coincidences.
Tu Subo stared intently at the object in his hand. It was a bundle of black and red hair, its unique color like the twinkling stars in the night sky. His eyes were sharp, like a connoisseur examining a treasure, not missing a single detail. He caught a glimpse of the astonishment and confusion that crossed Gu Yuexuan's eyes. His lips curled up slightly, and his low voice was filled with a hint of playfulness: "What's wrong?"
