Zhao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes: "You're not happy when I say nice things to you?"
Qiu Dayu smiled again: "I'm happy, Yuanyuan, I wish you would say good things about me every day."
Zhao Yuanyuan chuckled lightly: "If you want me to say good things about you, you'll have to do something worthwhile."
"The truth?" Qiu Dayu rolled his eyes. "So you didn't earn any New Year's money and came here begging for it?"
"It's alright, Brother Dayu will take it."
After saying that, he took out a string of copper coins and put them into Zhao Yuanyuan's palm.
Zhao Yuanyuan got annoyed and called him "Brother Dayu," as if he really considered her his brother.
"Who wants your New Year's money?" She threw the money heavily into Qiu Dayu's hand.
Qiu Dayu was puzzled; it was just a joke, so why was Yuanyuan so angry?
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong?"
Zhao Yuanyuan looked up and met Qiu Dayu's gaze. "I'm getting married."
"Marriage? So sudden?" Qiu Dayu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I wonder which young man is so lucky to marry our Yuanyuan."
"When the time comes, your brother Dayu and your brother will accompany you to your wedding."
Qiu Dayu smiled, revealing two shallow dimples.
He has a naturally smiling face. When he smiles, his two little tiger teeth are handsome and endearing, and he still looks very young.
"You..." Upon hearing Qiu Dayu's words, Zhao Yuanyuan's heart sank.
"I have a brother, do I need you to escort me to my wedding?" She turned around, wiped away her tears, and ran away crying.
Qiu Dayu ran a few steps and caught up with Zhao Yuanyuan. "Yuanyuan, getting married is a good thing, why are you unhappy?"
Zhao Yuanyuan felt an even greater pain in her heart. She looked up again and stared intently at Qiu Dayu.
"Don't you know why I'm unhappy?"
She wanted to hear something agreeable from him.
Didn't he know? Should he know? Qiu Dayu thought for a moment, "I know, you must be afraid that you won't have a good life after you get married."
Don't worry, if your young master bullies you, Brother Dayu will definitely stand up for you.
"Qiu Dayu!" Zhao Yuanyuan clenched her fists and glared angrily at Qiu Dayu: "What does it matter to you whether I'm doing well or not!"
"Yuanyuan, did I say something wrong?"
Qiu Dayu looked completely bewildered; he had no idea what he had done to offend Zhao Yuanyuan.
"You... I'm not talking to you anymore." Zhao Yuanyuan had a lot to say to Qiu Dayu, but she couldn't say it. In the end, she left Qiu Dayu with her back turned and ran away in an instant.
Watching Zhao Yuanyuan's figure recede into the distance, Qiu Dayu's heart suddenly felt empty.
He leaned against the willow trunk alone until lunchtime before going back.
Lunch on the first day of the Lunar New Year was also a sumptuous affair.
At the dinner table, Gu Xiaoran seemed to have forgotten yesterday's unpleasantness and ate with great relish.
Because he went to bed too late last night, he slept until late morning today and therefore did not eat breakfast.
Upon waking up, he found himself living at his master's house. He immediately dressed and went to find Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan did not punish Gu Xiaoran today.
The reason is that festivals are not to blame.
Seeing him constantly shoveling food into his mouth, Qiu Ling'er didn't forget to remind him:
"Xiao Ran, slow down, don't choke."
Gu Xiaoran took a sip of soup and ate his food. "Xiaoran is hungry." He had a great appetite and had gained weight again in the winter, his whole body round and plump.
Qiu Ling'er: "Why don't you eat with your father?" Gu Xiaoran often talked about Gu Qian when he wasn't around.
"Master is too fierce, Xiao Ran is scared." Gu Xiao Ran didn't want to eat with her master and mistress.
Furthermore, ever since he caused trouble yesterday, his father has become much stricter with him.
