Chapter 286: Things Only Husband and Wife Can Do
Gu Tang did not sleep well that night. The wind outside was howling like ghosts and wolves, blowing all night long. The windows and doors also creaked all night long, which made people scared, fearing that the windows and doors would be blown away by the wind.
Fortunately, the houses on the Gu family's side are all made of bricks and tiles, and the roof is covered with double tiles.
Over the past few days, a thin layer of ice and snow has been frozen on one side of the roof, freezing the tiles together. They have stood up very firmly in the strong wind and remain safe and sound.
By dawn, the wind had died down, but the snow was still falling. Snowflakes as big as a baby's palm fell from the sky, making people feel depressed.
With the strong wind last night and the heavy snow today, I don’t know how many people will die outside!
Gu Tang originally wanted to catch up on some sleep as he didn’t sleep well last night.
Not long after I fell asleep, Gu Ping'an's voice was heard outside the door.
"Second sister, something happened in the village. Do you want to get up and go and see what's happening?"
Gu Tang turned over, covered his head with the quilt, and chased Gu Ping'an away in a muffled voice: "No, no, no, leave me now! Don't disturb my sleep!"
"Really not going? I heard someone froze to death in the village last night, and several houses collapsed. Dad was called away by the clan leader and others early in the morning, and he's currently rescuing people in the village."
This piqued Gu Tang's interest.
Even though she was still very sleepy, her dull brain began to become active. She pried her head out of the quilt like a cat's claw in her heart and said, "You didn't coax me, did you?"
"Even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to fool you with such a thing! It's true! You'll see when you come out. The snow is coming down hard, and it's all snowflakes.
I heard that it started snowing last night at midnight, and with the strong wind and heavy snow, many old houses couldn't hold on, so several collapsed and several people froze to death."
Gu Tang was no longer sleepy and immediately sat up to get dressed: "Wait for me! I'll be ready soon!"
"Okay!" Gu Ping'an responded, put his hands in his sleeves, and stomped his feet in the corridor.
Agou was stewing soup in the kitchen. After hearing the noise made by Gu Ping'an, he couldn't help but come to the west wing.
When they reached the west wing corridor, he glared at Gu Ping'an with great dissatisfaction: "It's so cold today that it can freeze someone's ears off! Why did you call your second sister to get up?"
Gu Ping'an looked puzzled: "My second sister likes to join in the fun. I called her to get up and join in the fun! What does this have to do with you? My second sister didn't even say she was cold!"
Agou knew what he meant by lively and bustling. He had heard it and felt the dead air.
That’s why Gu Tang can’t go!
She's already simmering with resentment, and if she's tainted with deathly aura, is that because she's already noisy enough?!
"If you want to go, go by yourself! Don't call your second sister! I made some peppercorn mutton soup and asked your second sister to stay home and drink it!"
"I was wondering why the whole yard was filled with the aroma of meat so early in the morning. I just asked you what soup you made, but you refused to tell me. Now you're telling me."
Gu Ping'an's eyes widened as he bargained with Agou: "It's okay if I don't want my second sister to go, but you have to give me a big bowl of the soup you stewed, including the soup and the meat!"
"What are you dreaming about in broad daylight? Don't even think about it! There's no place for you!"
Agou didn't take him seriously at all. He just stood outside the door without even looking at Ping An.
Gu Ping'an was so angry!
Just as he was about to lose his temper, the door behind him suddenly opened. Gu Tang came out with messy hair and a sullen face, scolding the two of them: "It's so early in the morning, if you two want to quarrel, go to your room! What's the point of quarreling in front of my door?!"
As soon as Gu Tang got angry, both of them became dispirited and admitted their mistakes with a smile.
"We were just bickering and joking around, not really quarreling."
"Yeah, we were just bickering. Think about it, he's just a little brat, his words are meaningless, why would I argue with him?"
Gu Pingan: ...What's going on? Looking for trouble, huh?
Gu Tang glared at Agou and said, "If you can't speak, shut up!"
Agou: ...He said the wrong thing again?
Gu Tang handed the basin in the room to Gu Ping'an, "Go get me some hot water and add some cold water. Bring it over later. I haven't washed up yet."
"Oh! I'll go right away!" Gu Ping'an took the basin and turned to run to the kitchen.
Gu Sanlang had previously boiled a full pot of hot water, and no one knew what he was going to use the hot water for, but now it's just a good deal for him!
Hehehehe!
Gu Ping'an looked very proud and quickly entered the kitchen.
Gu Tang also returned to the house and found a comb to comb his hair.
Her hair is still a little yellow, and only the new hair looks better.
The ends of her hair were all split and broken before, so she secretly trimmed some of it herself with scissors, and now it looks much better.
The hair is soft and fine, not easy to comb. Every time I comb my hair, it pulls my scalp. Not only does it hurt Gu Tang, but sometimes he gets annoyed and even pulls out some broken hair.
Today was no exception. She combed her hair for just a few times before her scalp was pulled, and she gasped in pain!
In addition, she was wearing a lot of clothes today, so when she raised her arms to comb her hair, her arms became sore after a while.
"Let me do it." Agou suddenly stepped forward and took the comb from Gu Tang's hand, saying that he would help her comb her hair.
Gu Tang looked skeptical: "You? Do you know how to comb your hair? Don't pull all my hair out."
"I can comb my hair. I learned from a master for a few days and I'm pretty good at it."
Gu Tang: "...You're looking for a master to learn how to comb your hair?!"
"Um."
"...Do you have any new plans or intentions for the career you want to pursue in the future?"
Otherwise, why would a grown man like you go to a hairdresser to learn how to comb your hair?!
This time it was Agou's turn to be confused: "What plan? What plan? Didn't you ask me to learn this?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Tang rolled his eyes at him. "When did I ever ask you to learn how to comb your hair?"
"Why not? It's written in the 'Servant's Code'. Besides learning to comb hair, you also have to tailor clothes, sew clothes, mend clothes, embroider cloud patterns and flowers, etc."
Servant Code...
Gu Tang remembered that it was indeed her who did it.
But she was angry at the time, and this servant code was made up to embarrass him!
She thought Agou couldn't do it because many of the skills involved could not be learned in a short period of time.
Moreover, human energy is limited, and it is impossible to learn everything. There will always be things that we are good at and things that we are not good at.
But Agou doesn't seem to be like that. He seems to have really learned the skills required by the rules.
Feeling the comb gently moving through his hair, Gu Tang's scalp felt numb. He couldn't help but ask, "Have you learned all the skills written in the rules?"
"Almost. However, some of them are not very proficient yet. I have been practicing. Once you are proficient, you can follow the instructions and test them one by one."
Agou said it lightly, concentrating on combing Gu Tang's hair.
Little did he know that after hearing his words, Gu Tang shuddered all over.
Oh my god!
He is truly inhuman!
She had completely forgotten what was written in the servant's rules!
Assess one by one?
Is this a test for her or a test for Agou?!
Gu Tang was a little upset and believed what Agou said.
With Agou's straightforward nature, he has no idea what lying is.
If he says he has learned it, then he really has learned it...
"Why are you shaking for no reason? Are you cold?" Agou stopped and asked with a worried look on his face when he noticed Gu Tang shaking.
Gu Tang: "...I'm not cold, my head was itchy just now, and when the comb passed over it, it just relieved the itch."
"Is your head itchy?" Ah Gou inserted his fingers into his hair and pressed his fingertips on the top of Gu Tang's head. "Here?"
"……right!"
"Let me scratch it for you." Agou rubbed the top of Gu Tang's head back and forth with his fingertips, which relieved the itch better than scratching with fingernails directly.
Gu Tang narrowed his eyes comfortably.
In her previous life, she often had dreams when she slept. She thought it was due to stress, so she often went to the beauty salon for massage, especially head massage, which was Gu Tang's favorite.
She has been here for so long, but she has never enjoyed a massage. Today is the first time.
Thinking of this, Gu Tang suddenly had another idea.
"Agou, have you ever learned massage?"
"I learned it. I learned all kinds of acupressure massage."
Gu Tang was happy: "Then give me a head massage. I haven't had a massage for a long time."
"Okay! I'll help you press it!" Agou agreed readily.
A complete massage session would take at least half an hour. He would delay it a little longer to make up an hour, trying to prevent Gu Tang from going out to see a dead body!
"Then go and bring in the rocking chair from outside. I'll lie on it so it's easier for you to move around."
Gu Tang pointed to the outer room and instructed Agou to move the rocking chair.
At this time, Gu Ping'an just came in from outside with hot water and happened to run into Agou who was carrying a rocking chair.
Gu Pingan: "...What are you doing?"
"Your second sister has a headache, I'm here to massage her head."
As he said that, he carried the rocking chair into the inner room, leaving Gu Ping'an with a confused look on his face.
What, what the hell?
Press the head?
What head?
How do you press it?
Gu Ping'an hurriedly stepped in.
As soon as he entered the inner room, he stayed where he was.
He saw his second sister lying comfortably in the rocking chair, covered with a rabbit fur blanket, while Gu Sanlang was standing behind the rocking chair, combing his second sister's hair.
Gu Pingan: ...How can a man outside the woman touch her hair? Especially when it comes to something as intimate as combing her hair!
He immediately put down the basin in his hand and walked forward to snatch the comb from Agou's hand.
"How dare you! How dare you humiliate my second sister!"
Just when he was about to touch the comb, Agou dodged it swiftly, leaving Gu Ping'an empty-handed and his cheeks flushed with anger.
"Put the comb down! If you dare to touch my second sister's hair again, I'll chop you into pieces!"
Agou looked confused, not knowing what was going on.
"What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? I also want to ask, what are you doing?"
Gu Ping'an was rarely so angry. This look scared Gu Tang, who asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
"Second sister! This Gu Sanlang has bad intentions! He actually used a comb to comb your hair!"
"I know. I asked him to do it."
"Ah?" Gu Ping'an was dumbfounded. "You, you asked him to comb your hair?"
"Yes, I asked him to comb my hair. You know how bad my hair is. My cousin said he could comb my hair and press it, so I asked him to press my hair and comb it at the same time."
Gu Pingan still couldn't understand: "He is a stranger..."
"Why don't you just treat him as your woman?" Gu Tang knew what Gu Ping'an meant, but she just wanted to enjoy herself at the moment.
Besides, we are at home, not outside, so it’s not that important.
Gu Tang's words made Gu Ping'an gasp.
Comparing a man to a woman...that's not a nice thing to say!
He looked at Agou, and saw Agou said with a look of agreement: "Your second sister is right, just treat me as a woman."
Gu Pingan: ...He is overthinking it, these two people are nothing!
Before Agou started, Gu Tang was a little nervous, worried that he might not be able to press it well, but after Agou started... well, it was okay!
She pretended to be fine, but in fact, she fell asleep comfortably after a while.
Agou's movements became more gentle and the strength was just right, making sure not to wake anyone up.
Gu Ping'an didn't leave, but kept staring at them from the side. Agou thought he was an eyesore, so he asked him to go to the kitchen to watch over the fire.
"There's still soup stewing in the kitchen. Go and light the fire so it doesn't dry out."
Gu Ping'an didn't want to go, but when he remembered what Gu Sanlang said about not burning it dry, he hesitated for a moment.
It would be such a shame if such a delicious pot of mutton soup were really burned dry!
But if he left, he would be worried about Gu Sanlang staying here...
Agou noticed his hesitation and asked, "What are you worried about?"
Gu Ping'an rolled his eyes and whispered, "What do you think I'm worried about? You're also a scholar, you should know the rules of propriety and morality! Look at what you're doing now. Combing your hair, this kind of thing is an intimate thing that only husband and wife can do!"
couple……
Agou paused and said, they are not husband and wife, they are master and servant.
"People with a heart see everything as dirty."
Gu Pingan: …? ? ? ! ! !
"You mean my heart?!"
The originally low voice rose a little. Gu Tang seemed to be disturbed and frowned and turned over.
Ah Gou immediately glared at Gu Ping'an with a bad look in his eyes: "Shut up! Go to the kitchen and check the fire!"
Gu Pingan: ...Okay, okay! This is really the opposite of Tiangang!
This is the Gu family!
"If you don't go, when your second sister wakes up, I will tell her that you made up bad things about her!"
Gu Ping'an was dumbfounded: "Don't slander me! Who made up bad things about my second sister?"
"You said your second sister and I are husband and wife. Isn't this a fabrication?"
These words made Gu Ping'an's eyes go dark, and he almost died of anger.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "What I just said is that combing hair is something that only married couples can do..."
"Look! You're saying it again." Ah Gou said with a look of "I've caught you with something bad." "I'm combing and massaging your second sister's hair, and you're saying this again. You're just making it up."
Gu Pingan: ...Gu Sanlang!!!
I'm gonna knock your uncle!
Did you hear that?
I'm gonna knock your uncle!!!
"It's no use secretly cursing me in your heart. If you don't go to check on the fire, I'll complain to your second sister!"
“…You, you have no shame!”
"What face do I need? I already have my own face, what do I need?"
Talking at cross purposes.
Gu Pingan was extremely tired.
But Agou still refused to let him go: "Your second sister is sleeping soundly. If I stop, she will get angry later. Will you take the blame or me?"
Gu Ping'an stopped talking and refused to take responsibility.
"You definitely won't argue, so I won't argue either. I'll just say it was you who started the quarrel. Who do you think your second sister will get angry at?"
