Chapter 34: Dividing the Loot (Third Update)
It was already late midnight when Wei Changtian returned.
Lu Jingyao had returned to her room a long time ago, and no one knew whether she slept or not. Anyway, Qiuyun and Yuaner had stayed up until now.
This was how they did it before. They would wait until the gong sounded at Chou time every day, and would only go to bed if Wei Changtian had not returned by then.
"Sir, aren't you going to Pingchangfang today?"
Looking at the tiger-dragon costume on Wei Changtian, the two women were a little surprised.
They recognized this outfit because Wei Xianzhi would occasionally wear it.
The only difference is that the tiger and dragon embroidered on their clothes were made of gold thread respectively.
"Who told you I was going to a brothel?"
Wei Changtian drank a sip of tea, took out the jewelry he had brought back from Zhang's house, and said with a smile: "It's just right, I brought back some small items for you."
"This is……"
Almost instantly, the two girls' attention was attracted by the pile of glittering jewelry on the table.
Just like the evil dragons in Western fantasy stories, women may indeed be born to like these shiny things.
What's more, this pile of hairpins, hairpins, earrings and other items are many times more valuable and exquisite than ordinary jewelry.
Even Wei Changtian could see that these things were of extraordinary value, let alone Qiuyun and Yuaner.
The two girls carefully held the jewelry in their palms one by one and examined them carefully, their love for them almost overflowing from their eyes.
Looking at them like this, Wei Changtian suddenly remembered the first time he hid in the quilt to "study" in his previous life.
He was also so focused, his eyes were bright, and he was excited and thrilled...
Although I got a girlfriend later and didn't have to entertain myself anymore, the feeling I had back then never returned.
After briefly reminiscing about his lost youth, Wei Changtian asked the two girls, "How about it? If you like any of them, just take them away."
"Young Master..."
Qiu Yun reluctantly put down the jewelry in her hand, with a somewhat touched and insistent expression: "We are not worthy of wearing such fine jewelry, you should leave it to the lady, she will definitely be very happy."
"OK!"
Yuan'er also nodded at the side: "Sister Qiuyun and I together are not as valuable as this hairpin. If I really wear it, I'm afraid my head will be pressed down so hard that I can't lift it up."
The two girls were talking to each other and were determined not to take such valuable things.
While Wei Changtian was listening to their reasons, he felt both angry and amused.
"What nonsense are you talking about, come here!"
Without saying anything, he pulled Yuan'er to his side and picked up the red pearl earrings that had drawn the most attention to her from the table.
Silver hook and gold thread, with a tri-color butterfly dotted between two red pearls.
It really fits Yuan'er's playful temperament.
"Keep your head down and don't move!"
Wei Changtian gave the order with a serious expression, and after a moment of hesitation, Yuan'er guessed what he was going to do.
After hesitating for a moment, the red little ears slowly moved closer.
The silver hook entered the hole and pinched Yuan'er's earlobe which was a little hot.
After hanging a pair of earrings, Wei Changtian looked at Qiu Yun again.
"Do you need my help?"
"this……"
Qiuyun hesitated for a while with a red face, and finally reached out and picked up a Linglong hairpin that was closest to her and looked relatively the cheapest from the table.
She gently inserted the hairpin with colorful jade beads, with a bit of trepidation and joy hidden in her lowered eyes.
"That's right!"
Wei Changtian smiled and looked at the two of them: "Why can't you wear it? I don't think your necks are broken."
"Sir, please don't make fun of me..."
Qiuyun lowered her head, as if she was really being pressed down by a hairpin.
On the contrary, Yuan'er adapted quickly, and her little face was now full of smiles.
Girls will definitely be happy when they get something they love.
Of course, you also have to show off a little.
Shaking her head slightly, she resisted the urge to go back to the room and look in the mirror, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, Sister Qiuyun, do you look good?"
“It has to look good!”
Wei Changtian nodded seriously: "She is so beautiful that she can make fishes sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground, and the moon hides in shame on the flowers."
Yuan'er blinked in confusion: "Sir, what does this mean?"
"Um?"
Wei Changtian was stunned, but he reacted quickly.
There are no four beauties named "West King, Diao Yang" in this world, so naturally these two idioms have not been created.
"Well, it means that fish will forget to swim when they see you, and wild geese will fall down when they see you..."
After a few words of explanation, Yuan'er was amused and laughed like a goose.
"Goose, goose, goose! Sir, where did you learn these coaxing words?"
"Do I need to learn this? With my talent, I can do it easily."
"Then praise Sister Qiuyun!"
"Let me think about it..."
“…”
Bursts of laughter echoed in the house, full of joy and harmony.
Lu Jingyao, who was hiding behind the door and eavesdropping, almost fainted from jealousy.
She actually hadn't slept at all.
When she heard that Wei Changtian went to a brothel, she couldn't sleep and has been sitting there waiting until now, but the result... This is worse than going to a brothel!
How am I worse than Qiuyun and Yuaner!
She is obviously prettier, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and comes from a wealthy family.
But why didn't he think about me when he brought the jewelry back? Humph! The more Lu Jingyao thought about it, the angrier she became. In the end, she didn't even notice when the voices outside stopped.
"Asshole! I hate you so much!"
She wiped her tears and cursed softly, but the next moment she was startled by a sudden sound in her ear.
"Who are you scolding here?"
"ah!"
Looking at the person in front of her, Lu Jingyao felt as if her heart had stopped beating for several beats, and then she fell to the ground with a thump.
“You, you…”
"What do you mean by 'I'? I've been watching you here for quite some time."
Wei Changtian glanced at Lu Jingyao as if she were a mentally retarded person, and asked knowingly, "Who were you angry with just now?"
“…”
Lu Jingyao didn't say anything.
She wanted to cry, but didn't want to show weakness in front of Wei Changtian, so she bit her lips tightly with red eyes, her eyes filled with both aggrieved and stubbornness.
Wei Changtian ignored her and walked into the house as if he didn't see her.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Jingyao quickly got up from the ground. Just as she was about to chase this annoying man out, she saw several pieces of jewelry that suddenly appeared on the table.
The delicate body trembled slightly, and soft waves entered the eyes.
All the depression disappeared in an instant, and I felt happy but also a little dissatisfied.
Sure enough, he still remembers me...
But why did they let Qiuyun and Yuaner choose first? Was it because he thought I was asleep just now….Hmm! That must be the case! Ah! That hairpin is so beautiful…
Lu Jingyao's mental activities were extremely exciting for a moment, and she even began to wonder whether she should pretend to be reserved and refuse first.
Then she heard Wei Changtian calmly say: "I won't be at home tomorrow, you can deliver these things to Qiaoling on my behalf."
“All, everything?”
"yes."
“…You won’t give it to others anymore?”
"To others? Yes! Thanks for reminding me!"
Wei Changtian slapped his forehead and took out the most gorgeous looking glazed flower: "Give this to my mother!"
"…What else?"
"It's gone. It's really gone now."
Wei Changtian counted on his fingers: "My mother, Qiaoling, Qiuyun, Yuaner... everyone has one."
Lu Jingyao: “…”
