Golden Branch

Chapter 358 Qin

She wore a crimson chest-length dress, with a wide-sleeved shirt in the color of autumn fragrance on top, and a crimson shawl casually draped over her arms.

The beautiful girl was not overwhelmed by the bright colors. Instead, they made her skin look whiter than snow and her eyebrows and eyes look more picturesque.

At this moment, this gorgeous person leaned down, with a hint of ambiguity in her clear and bright eyes, and made an "invitation" gesture.

She is charming without knowing it, and there is a hint of enchantment in her innocence and tenderness.

This can arouse someone's heart more than blatant seduction.

hum!
Something in Lou Yu's brain snapped. His throat tightened, as if he was under a spell. Like a puppet, he followed Wang Heng's raised finger and took two steps forward.

His men were almost sticking to the Dayuan horses.

Seeing that Lou Yu was so infatuated with her, Wang Heng's round, lychee-shaped eyes flashed with a hint of pride.

Under Lou Yu's gaze, she slowly lowered her head.

Wang Heng sat high on the horse, slightly taller than Lou Yu who was standing on the ground.

By constantly lowering her head, she could minimize the height difference between Wang Heng and Lou Yu.

Soon, Wang Heng and Lou Yu looked at each other.

not enough.

Wang Heng continued to bend down, and the tip of her fair and delicate nose rubbed against Lou Yu's tall nose bridge intentionally or unintentionally.

Lou Yu's breathing suddenly stopped and his Adam's apple rolled rapidly.

Is Ah Heng going to kiss him?

This is the first time the little girl has taken the initiative.

The sweet scent of lychees spread in strands, interweaving into a net that tightly bound Lou Yu.

The ultimate fragrance was already captivating enough, and the touch of those pink cherry lips was like a peeled lychee, becoming increasingly tender, moist, and sweet, making him feel like he was floating in the air and wished he could drown in it.

Wang Heng still felt it was not enough, so she hooked her finger and put it under Lou Yu's chin.

The soft fingertips gently caressed.

hiss!
It was a little prickly, and the newly appeared stubble left some red marks on the skin that was more delicate than mutton fat.

Wang Heng endured the pain in her fingers and continued teasing.

She looked straight into Lou Yu's eyes and opened her red lips slightly: "Look up!"

Lou Yu's eyes were cold and his face was as gentle and calm as usual, as if the confusion and infatuation just now was just an illusion of others.

Only the slightly pursed corners of his lips and the thumb tightly pinched in his sleeve revealed that his emotions were far from calm and self-controlled as he appeared.

Seeing Lou Yu like this, Wang Heng knew that this little pervert was not so easy to tease, or rather, he would indeed lose control with her, but he could also control himself in the first place.

This is a new round of competition between them as a couple.

As the initiator, Wang Heng naturally did not want to lose.

The finger supporting the chin suddenly exerted force.

Lou Yu "passively" raised his chin, and his thin lips almost touched the bright red.

The aroma of lychees became stronger and stronger, and the soft and tender lychee flesh was right next to his mouth. With just a light bite, he could taste the delicious taste that would make him insatiable!

The barely retained rationality and the thumb with a red tattoo were almost crushed. Bang! At this moment, Lou Yu's forced coldness and reserve finally collapsed.

He followed his heart and surrendered to the call from the woman he loved. Following the force of her fingers, he raised his head, trying to capture that softness.

Their thin lips touched, but at that moment, Wang Heng quickly pulled away.

The sweet fragrance of lychees fades away in an instant.

Lou Yu, who was in a trance, clearly heard a delicate cry of "Go".

"Brother, let's go! Don't be late. You won't keep the teacher waiting!"

These words were heard in the air, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves and the giggles of silver bells.

Lou Yu finally woke up from the mist of the sweet scent of lychees. His eyes quickly focused and he saw the back of a figure in red riding a horse as he rode away.

"……naughty!"

Lou Yu controlled the urge to reach out and touch his lips, and put his hands behind his back. In his deep eye sockets, there was helplessness, indulgence, and a hint of pride.

His little girl is so smart and proud. Even if she doesn't understand love, she won't be at a disadvantage because of her "ignorance".

If she is "bullied", she will find ways to retaliate.

do not know?

Not getting it?
You can learn it, even without a teacher.

Smart people can become the best in any field.

How could he not like such a little girl and hold her dear to his heart?
……

"Xu~~"

Wang Heng rode a horse to the villa that she and Lou Yu had given to Mr. Shen.

When they reached the gate of the villa, Wang Heng tightened the reins.

The slaves, guards, etc. following behind him also stopped.

Some guards were even more agile and dismounted first, running to Wang Heng's horse in just a few steps.

He knelt down swiftly and used his body as a riding stool.

But, there was another figure, like a flash of lightning, flashing from behind to the front.

He kicked the guard away, raised his hands high, and grabbed Wang Heng's slender waist.

"Aheng, I'll help you get off the horse, okay?"

He said "OK" as if he was negotiating something, but someone who came from behind and took the lead forcefully carried the man down from the horse.

Wang Heng: ...Tsk, as expected of my brother, he just lost a game and rushed over to try to win it back! However, having already won a game, Wang Heng's morning temper had been soothed, so she didn't want to continue the battle with Lou Yu.

Know when to stop. Wang Heng, who is good at disguise, knows how to strike the right balance.

Without struggling, Wang Heng followed Lou Yu's strength and let him carry her down.

The red embroidered shoes inlaid with colorful gems landed steadily on the ground. She looked up and said sweetly to Lou Yu: "Thank you, brother!"

She is still so well-behaved and sweet, just like she has been pretending for many years.

There was no longer any of the charm and mischief that she had just used to tease and play with Lou Yu.

A hint of warmth flashed across Lou Yu's amber pupils: "Aheng, you're too polite! You and I are husband and wife, there's no need to be polite!"

The tips of Wang Heng's ears began to turn red, and her neck, cheeks, etc. also turned into an enchanting rouge color.

She just felt a little hot, so she quickly reached out and pushed Lou Yu away.

In order to hide her embarrassment, she turned around with a feigned cheerfulness, "Sir! Sir!"

Wang Heng shouted repeatedly, lifted her skirt, and walked quickly into the courtyard.

His hands were empty, Lizhi ran away, and Lou Yu had a smile on his face. He put one hand slightly bent in front of him and the other hand behind his back, and slowly chased after Wang Heng.

……

"Ajiu? Hanzhang? Are you here?"

When Shen Du saw the two disciples whom he loved and hated, joy and relief flashed across his slightly old face.

These two little guys are really ruthless in trying to trick him, their husband.

A book called "Clan Records" caused Shen Du to offend most of the aristocratic families.

Being besieged and attacked by countless people, Shen Du almost became a rat crossing the street.

His reputation is ruined and his integrity is gone!
However, Shen Du felt inexplicably happy——

As a clan from the southern border, it is almost impossible for them to restore the glory of their ancestors in Dayu.

In the past few years since entering the Honglu Temple, Shen Du's official career has been extremely difficult.

All his reputation as a famous scholar for many years was ruined by this small official position.

Unfortunately, he had no better way out and could only continue to be stuck here, neither up nor down, feeling angry and frustrated.

Lou Yu strongly recommended Shen Du to serve as the deputy editor-in-chief of "Clan Records", which was both an exploitation and an opportunity.

All the anger Shen Du had endured in Dayu over the years was vented through the "Clan Records" -

My clan in the southern border is not doing well, and you families in the northern border can't expect to have an easy life either.

Look down on the old family?

Then we should elevate the humble people who are looked down upon by the aristocratic families.

According to the rules of aristocratic families, the royal Yang family can only be considered third-rate at best.

But Shen Du ranked Yang as Class A.

There were also powerful families such as the Li, Lu, and Wei families, whose families were ranked according to the official positions and ranks of the heads of the families.

The Zheng, Cui, Wang and other northern clans were enraged and denounced the clan records compiled by Shen Du as Xun Ge.

Xunge?

What about Xunge?
Shen Du threw out the bone, successfully causing the Northern nobles, who had originally been united against the Southern nobles, to start a large-scale chaos.

Aristocratic families and poor families.

Aristocratic families and aristocratic families.

It was wonderful. At every court meeting, you could see those noble, reserved, elegant and dignified nobles from aristocratic families either cursing or fighting.

Tablets and tablets were flying everywhere, faces and noses were bruised, wow, what a lively show.

The southern families, who were destined to decline, secretly took sides and let out a sigh of relief.

Although it does not benefit us, it makes us feel happy when we see the other side having a hard time!

Shen Du got angry and his career was ruined.

He has offended too many people.

Fortunately, the two "traitors", while cheating others, still had some respect for their teachers.

They gave Shen Du a decent exit——

Lou Yu, Shaoqing of Lou Lou, made a big fuss and visited Shen Du three times to invite him to be the principal of Lishan Academy.

Shen Du: ...

Well, he is not suitable to be an official, and the old forces in the north will not allow him to come to the fore.

I might as well go back to my old profession and continue to be a teacher.

Shen Du resigned from his official position promptly, and left the capital in a high-profile manner, taking his servant and collection of books with him in a four-wheeled carriage sent by Wang Heng, and settled in Mount Li.

... Now, half a year has passed, and Shen Du's life in Mount Li is becoming more and more comfortable.

Teaching was what he was good at, and with so many students from noble families, Shen Du quickly adapted to the life in Lishan Academy and quickly regained the dignity and honor of a famous scholar in the country.

Now when people mention Shen Du, they no longer refer to him as a sycophant, but as Master Shen or Mr. Shen.

Not only did the students respect and admire him, but the teachers in the academy and the so-called "guest" teachers also often came to seek advice from him.

For example, Madam Wei, the Fourth Prince's wife who has been very popular recently, admires Mr. Shen very much.

Every ten days when she came to the academy to teach, she would take time to visit Shen Du.

Whether asking for advice or discussing academic matters, although Madam Wei is proud of her talent, she also truly respects the "strong".

In Madam Wei's opinion, Mr. Shen, who was able to teach a monster like Lou Yu, was an undisputed strong man.

When Wang Heng and Lou Yu arrived at the main hall one after another, Shen Du was entertaining Wei Banruo, who was asking for instruction on zither playing...
