Golden Branch

Chapter 23 Yeah Yeah

"You fat girl, you're a coward, aren't you afraid of frogs or snakes?"

"I told you you have backbone, but you immediately gave in!"

Lou Dalang stared at Wang Heng blankly, then raised his right index finger and tapped her on the forehead. "Fatty, tell me, what kind of person are you?"

"pain!"

Wang Heng quickly covered her forehead with her hands, her voice soft and tender.

It was like a feather, gently brushing against Lou Dalang's hard heart.

"Does it hurt? I didn't even use any strength!"

Lou Dalang was used to playing pranks. No matter if it was to the brothers and sisters of the Lou family or to the servants and guards, he would basically beat them or scold them whenever he wanted. When his temper got riled up, he would throw anything he could get his hands on.

Those people cried and shouted in pain, and even knelt down to beg for mercy, but Lou Dalang only felt happy and never felt guilty or heartbroken.

At this moment, hearing the sweet and soft voice of the fat girl, Lou Dalang actually felt a little weird.

He couldn't describe how he felt, and could only continue to hide his discomfort by looking ugly.

He reached out and pulled Wang Heng's hand away, and saw a red mark on the little girl's forehead, which was as white and tender as tofu.

This, is it famous?

He really didn't use much strength.

"...Um, who made you so delicate? You get red just by a slight touch!"

Lou Dalang continued to make excuses for himself awkwardly.

If someone who knew him well heard these words, they would be shocked to the point of dropping their jaw.

The little bully of the Lou family is the most naughty and arrogant!
Even if he beat someone until he was bruised and bleeding, he never said such soft words.

It would be a good mood if he didn't laugh at me. But if he was in a bad mood, he would still ask people to get out. This would pollute his ears and eyes!
Now, he actually, actually would be so "humble" to coax a little girl?!
"..."

Wang Heng pursed her lips, with a hint of grievance on her chubby little face.

However, she could feel that this was Lou Dalang's greatest kindness and tenderness.

She sniffed, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm being squeamish!"

Lou Dalang: ...

What's wrong with this fat girl? Every time he talks to her, he always feels powerless.

"Just know you were wrong!"

Lou Dalang said this unhappily, but he couldn't help but glance at the red mark on Wang Heng's forehead.

On the other side, Lou Jin and Wang Lin have reached a consensus.

The so-called miscarriage was just a misunderstanding.

The Lou family and the Wang family are relatives by marriage, and Lou Jin and Wang Lin are both officials in Hedong, so they should support each other and work together!

Wang Lin warmly invited Lou Jin to have a cup of tea at the manor. Lou Jin looked around and found Lou Dalang in the corner next to the courtyard gate. Only then did he feel at ease and went into the courtyard with Wang Lin.

Lou Dalang was too lazy to listen to the two old foxes' vague words and just followed Wang Heng to play.

Seeing Wang Heng still holding the half honeycomb in her arms, Lou Dalang reminded her, "Fatty, are you stupid? Why are you still holding this thing?"

It's sticky and sweet, and easily attracts bees.

The fat girl is so delicate that even the slightest touch will leave a red mark. If she is bitten by a bee——

Lou Dalang couldn't help but recall the scene of Cui being chased all over the yard by a swarm of bees, and Cui's servants, who were stung by bees and had blisters on their faces and arms in order to protect Cui.

It looked so miserable.

Lou Dalang didn't want the fat girl's delicate face and hands to become so ugly.

"what?"

Wang Heng raised her little face and looked at Lou Dalang blankly, "Can't take it?"

Lou Dalang: ...

Forget it. This fat girl has never seen a beehive, so she doesn’t know that a beehive can attract bees.

"You don't want to eat honey? Take the honeycomb to the chef, and they will make delicious honey for you!"

Lou Dalang said this unhappily.

"Oh! Good! Thank you, brother. You are so nice!"

When Wang Heng heard the word "honey sugar", her eyes lit up.

Honey water is the best, so sweet.

This was the first time Lou Dalang had ever heard someone praise him as "good," especially in such a soft and gentle voice. Another feather landed on his hardened heart.

"Humph! If you know I'm good, then you have to listen to me from now on!"

Lou Dalang made up his mind and allowed the fat girl to play with him.

The fat girl is a little silly, but at least she is well-behaved and doesn't cry or make a fuss easily.

Lou Dalang reluctantly accepted this little follower.

"……it is good!"

A gleam flashed in Wang Heng's bright eyes, and she agreed obediently.

At this moment, a servant came running hurriedly on the path outside the courtyard gate: "Jiu Niang! Jiu Niang! Wang Daya is here!"

"Wang Daya? Ah! Soufflé!"

Wang Heng has been thinking about the delicious food that Wang Daya mentioned these days.

Wang Heng had never eaten pastries as soft as clouds. She even dreamed that she flew to the sky and ate clouds in her arms.

After waking up, there was a water stain on the pillow. Ahem, it was all the saliva of a fat girl!
After thinking about it for a few days, Soufflé, oh no, it was Wang Daya who finally came.

Wang Heng became excited.

"Where is she? Where is she?"

Wang Heng jumped up and looked around, trying to find the thin figure.

"At the west corner gate of the backyard!" the maid hurriedly reported.

"I'm going right now!"

At this moment, Wang Heng's mind was filled with the cloud-like cakes. She didn't care about anything else and ran towards the backyard with her short legs.

Lou Dalang's face turned black!

He gritted his teeth and said, "You fat girl! You actually ran away like this?"

He was such a big living person standing there, but the fat girl didn't see him.

He is Lou Dalang, the little bully of the Lou family, oh no, the entire Hedong!

Fat girl!
You! You!
If anyone else dared to treat Lou Dalang so poorly, Lou Dalang would sneer and say, "You're dead."

Unfortunately, this person was a fat girl, the little follower that Lou Dalang had just decided to accept.

Clenching his fists tightly, Lou Dalang took big steps and caught up with Wang Heng who was jogging along.

He wanted to see who that Wang Daya was.

It actually made the fat girl so anxious.

"Wow! This is soufflé? It smells so good!"

Arriving at the west corner gate of the backyard, Wang Heng immediately saw the two round snacks in Wang Mian's hands.

Before she even got close, Wang Heng smelled a strong fragrance.

"Huh! Isn't it just a snack?"

Lou Dalang, who was following Wang Heng closely, realized he had misunderstood when he saw Wang Heng's expression.

The one who really seduced the fat girl was not Wang Daya, but a plate of snacks.

The clever Lou Dalang found Wang Heng's "pulse" in an instant.

"Fat girl, do you like delicious food?"

"……Um!"

"Eat beef?"

In ancient times, oxen were hard to come by for plowing.

The "Da Zhou Law" even explicitly stipulates that it is forbidden to slaughter working oxen.

It is easy to break the law by eating beef!
The Wang family is a clan, and they only dare to override the royal law occasionally.

Therefore, Wang Heng only ate beef once when she was six years old.

Hearing Lou Dalang say this, Wang Heng's eyes sparkled with desire: "I want to!"

"You want to eat? Sure! But first, say yeah yeah to me!"

Lou Dalang opened his mouth and showed a wicked smile.
