Golden Branch

Wang Heng raised her eyebrows, Oh, it’s not forced love.

But it's just the little emotions between the couple.

Wang Heng was actually interested in hearing this: "Entanglement? How?"

Wang Mian put down the melon seeds in his hand, covered his face with his hands, and said softly, "That Yuwen Zhan grabbed Lu Jialan's sleeve with an anxious expression, as if he wanted to say something to her."

"Lu Jialan swung her sleeves vigorously, trying to break free, but she couldn't. In desperation, she raised her hand and slapped Yu Wenzhan!"

Thinking of the scene he saw on the boat, Wang Mian couldn't help but smile.

She put her hands down and began to gesture: "You've seen Lu Jialan's height before, he's about the same height as us two."

"But Yuwen Zhan is tall, a head taller than Lu Jialan." More than twenty centimeters.

Wang Heng roughly imagined it in her mind.

Well, the height difference between the two is indeed quite big.

Then, she thought of a technical problem: "Even if Lu Jialan raises his hand, he may not be able to hit Yuwen Zhan, right?"

“…”Haha, she is worthy of being her eldest daughter. When eating melons, she can also accurately grasp the key points.

Wang Mian was slightly excited: "Yes! She really couldn't reach it, so she jumped up and slapped Yu Wenzhan in the face."

Wang Heng hurriedly asked, "Yuwen Zhan didn't stop it, let alone hide?"

There is a huge inherent power gap between men and women.

Not to mention that Yuwen Zhan was a tall and strong military general, while Lu Jialan was just a weak and pampered noble lady.

If the two of them fought, Lu Galan would have no chance of gaining the upper hand unless one of them gave in.

After asking this question, Wang Heng seemed to have thought of something. Without Wang Mian's response, she nodded, "He must have succeeded! Yuwen Zhan probably saw that Lu Jialan wasn't really resisting. He must have sensed Lu Jialan's 'coercion', so he let him act like a spoiled brat!"

This is the fun between husband and wife.

Wang Heng was still ignorant and did not understand matters between men and women.

But when she went out, she often listened to Wang Mian telling various love stories.

Wang Heng does have some common sense when it comes to "theory".

Wang Heng became increasingly interested and continued to ask, "And then? Yuwen Zhan shouldn't just passively take the beating, right?"

Since it is an extreme tug-of-war between "husband and wife", there must be give and take.

Moreover, looking at Wang Mian’s excited look, the “plot” that follows should be even more exciting.

Wang Mian: ...Of course it’s wonderful!

The interaction between Lu Jialan and Yuwen Zhan is completely in line with the plot setting of a forced love novel.

The "female protagonist" slapped the "male protagonist", and the perverted "male protagonist" was not angry or annoyed, but felt great after being slapped.

His tongue was pressed against his cheek, and he looked playful.

Then, there was a forced kiss, and the tree went "dong" ahhhh...

Wang Mian's almond-shaped eyes were filled with excitement at seeing a good show.

She was about to share this part in detail with her best friend when she looked up and saw Wang Heng's clear and pure lychee eyes.

Uh, Jiu Niang is still a child.

Although she was also coveted by a little pervert, the little pervert was extremely tolerant and patient with Jiu Niang. He probably had not yet let her understand the relationship between men and women.

Talking to a half-grown child who was not very smart, saying kisses and bangs, Wang Mian always felt guilty of poisoning the flowers of the motherland.

She is a weird aunt who has lived two lives and has a head full of colored dyes. She should not pollute Jiu Niang's pure heart.

This is not only Wang Mian's moral self-cultivation, but also because he doesn't want to offend the little pervert -

Woohoo, if Lou Yu knew that I was telling Wang Heng some "unhealthy" jokes, he would definitely not let her off.

Wang Mian couldn't help but feel her heart tremble when she thought of a certain little pervert.

What was even more terrifying was that just as Wang Mian was thinking about Lou Yu, a little maid came over and respectfully reported: "Nine Lady, Master Lou is here!"

Wang Mian was shocked at first, Oh my god, it can’t be so weird.

Say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived?

Well, don’t be afraid... I didn’t say anything inappropriate, and I didn’t teach Jiu Niang bad things!

Just as Wang Mian was trembling with fear as she thought about what she had just said, and didn't find any problems, and continued to mentally prepare herself, she belatedly discovered the problem:

"Wait, Jiu Niang, when did Lord Lou become so 'polite'?"

To come to Wangjiazhuangzi, instead of just walking up, or climbing over the wall or window, you politely ask someone to pass the message?!

Wang Heng put down the melon seeds in her hand, sat up straight, raised her hand to take the wet handkerchief offered by the maid, and wiped her hands gently.

In response to Wang Mian's question, she replied calmly, "Today!"

Last night she complained about Lou Yu coming uninvited, so today Lou Yu strictly followed social etiquette and asked the maid to pass the message.

Oh no, not strictly followed.

After all, according to the rules, Lou Yu should send a visiting card before visiting.

Well, okay, Wang Heng admitted that she was "nitpicking".

After all, Lou Yu is not an outsider, he is her brother.

For such a close person, there is no need to send visiting cards or wait for appointments.

Lou Yu was probably also certain of this, so he was able to grasp the right measure perfectly.

Wang Mian blinked his eyes. Oh no, the little pervert is ready to "turn over a new leaf" and stop being domineering?

"Brother, please come here."

Wang Heng replied to Wang Mian and then turned to give instructions to the maid.

The little maid agreed and ran quickly to pass the message.

Soon, the little maid brought in a young man in a moon-white robe with wide sleeves.

Wang Mian couldn't help but raised his head: Wow! It's so high!

After not seeing him for half a year, Lou Xiaobian has grown so tall.

This person must be about 1.9 meters tall.

In modern times with abundant material resources and sufficient nutrition, this is also at the level of a "male model".

In ancient times, supplies were scarce and people were generally malnourished. Even nobles were subject to environmental, medical, genetic and other factors.

People this tall are definitely rare.

The young man was tall and slightly thin. His wide sleeves and the red silk belt tied around his waist only accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, giving him a distinguished appearance.

Wang Mian couldn't help but sigh in her heart, a man, not only is he so white, but he also has such a thin waist.

Tsk, it really proves the saying "Red beans grow in the south, and Lou Yu is a male model".

The young man in front of me not only has a good figure, but also has an outstanding appearance.

With black hair and fair skin, deep eyes and high nose, superior bone structure, perfect facial lines, and a slightly mixed-race look, he is a true oriental handsome man.

Ahhhh, if Wang Mian didn’t know how paranoid he was beneath this handsome face of an exiled immortal, he would have been unable to hold back his laughter.

Well, it’s not a pity.

The little pervert cannot be teased, she still has Xiao Lang.

Her son Xiao Lang also has a top-notch handsome face.

Secretly wiping his saliva, Wang Mian quickly stood up, bent his knees, and crossed his arms, "Greetings, Mr. Lou!"

"Ok!"

After all, he is half his own family, so Lou Yu would not completely ignore Wang Mian.

Even though he really didn't like the scene of this man lying on the table and whispering to Ah Heng almost in his body, but... Ah Heng didn't want a domineering husband, so he would be "gentle", generous and warm!

And this gentleness will definitely be shown to those close to her first.

"Brother!"

Wang Heng also stood up to greet him.

"I hope I didn't disturb Ah Heng by coming here rashly."

Lou Yu had indeed "changed his personality". Not only did he ask someone to pass the message, but he was also polite and modest when they met.

Wang Heng was stunned. Brother, the show is over.

The way you're doing this, we no longer look like brother and sister.

Wang Mian was somewhat flattered. Before Wang Heng could speak, she quickly waved her hand, "No! No! Mr. Lou arrived just in time. Jiu Niang and I were just chatting about our two families, and we weren't disturbed."

She didn't even say anything to Jiu Niang that was not appropriate.

Lou Yu glanced at Wang Mian from the corner of his eye. Hmm? Wang Mian looked so guilty. The topic they were discussing just now must have been a little off the mark.

He secretly took note of this matter, but his face was still as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Brother, sit down!"

Wang Heng also saw Wang Mian's self-confessing appearance.

She sighed in her heart: Amian is obviously smart, strong, independent and brave, but for some reason, she is afraid of her brother.

Wang Heng didn't know the reason, but she was willing to cover it up for her best friend.

She greeted Lou Yu with a smile, took the teacup from the maid, and personally handed it to Lou Yu: "Brother, have some tea!"

"Thank you!"

Lou Yu did not refuse. He sat down, had tea, and did not forget to express his gratitude politely.

When Wang Mian saw Lou Yu being so "strange", the villain in his heart became more and more frightened: Has the little pervert changed his strategy?

But, such a gentle and polite Lou Yu is even more frightening!

Wang Mian had a premonition that in the argument between Jiu Niang and Lou Yu last night, Jiu Niang not only did not win, but instead "lost" completely.

She must have exposed all her weaknesses.

Based on this, Lou Yu made a new plan.

He will use "gentleness" as a chain to bind Jiu Niang tightly.

This person not only won't change, but becomes even crazier!

"Aheng, when I return to Yizhou this time, I need to properly handle the properties in Yizhou."

Holding the teacup, Lou Yu was not in a hurry to drink.

He is tall and has long fingers.

A hand, white, with distinct joints, and on the back of the hand, blue veins slightly protruded.

If she wasn't too afraid of Lou Yu, Wang Mian, who is obsessed with both faces and hands, couldn't help but take a closer look: Ahhh, this hand is so perfect, so alluring and abstinent.

The tea cups of the same size appear slightly larger when held by Wang Heng and Wang Mian.

But in Lou Yu's hands it was like a small gadget.

Lou Yu was completely unaware that his actions were quite seductive. He looked at Wang Heng and continued, "However, I also have a lot of official duties to hand over to the Yizhou and Hedong government offices, so I really don't have the energy to take care of mundane matters at home."

"Aheng, you and I are like brother and sister, relying on and supporting each other. Could you help me with some of the chores?"

Lou Yu's attitude was humble, and his tone was even more negotiating.

Wang Heng, however, continued with a numb expression: Wow, what a good “brother and sister”.

Last night she kept asking to be brother to Lou Yu, and today, Lou Yu came to her as his brother and asked her, his sister, for help.

She simply couldn't refuse.

Well, okay, Wang Heng didn't want to refuse.

After all, if they could really be brother and sister, that was what Wang Heng had always wanted.

Now Lou Yu just respects her and satisfies her... Then, they will be brother and sister for life!

"Brother, you're welcome! You've taken such good care of me, so it's only natural that I help you with some chores."

Wang Heng quickly agreed.

Wang Mian wanted to hold her forehead with her hands, and she wanted to tell the "brother and sister": Please, you two, please don't be so "polite", okay?

Given your affection and tacit understanding, there is really no need for such politeness.

Wang Mian listened and watched, feeling embarrassed for the two of them.

Her toes were itchy and she wanted to dig a hole out of them!

“Also, in the capital, the saint is so kind that he has granted our country a public residence.”

Seeing Wang Heng's ready agreement, Lou Yu exuded a comfortable and peaceful aura.

He put down his teacup and pulled out a stack of blueprints from his sleeve pocket. "This is what the new mansion will look like. The gardens and waterside pavilions haven't been built or furnished yet, and I'd like to entrust them to Ah Heng."

"...Okay! I'll take care of it!"

Wang Heng did not refuse.

As a good sister, she not only looks after her brother's home and property while he is away at war, but also helps decorate the new house.

"This is my eldest brother's seal! Take it and use it to manage the estate, the people, money, and grain needed to build the new house. You can allocate and withdraw anything you want!"

Lou Yu took out a small seal from his waist pouch.

This was returned to him by Wang Heng last night. After a night, Lou Yu stuffed it back into Wang Heng's pocket.

Wang Heng did not refuse, but raised her hand to take it.

Just as Lou Yu said, whether it is to manage the industries in Yizhou or to build a mansion in the capital, it requires manpower, money, food and other supplies.

Wang Heng can help or pay in advance.

But Lou Yu has no shortage of these.

Instead of going through all this trouble again, it would be better to take over the seal early on and directly use Lou Yu's resources.

Wang Mian held his chin with one hand and pinched melon seeds with the other, watching silently:

Oh, Jiu Niang, judging from the interaction between you two, are you sure this is called "brother and sister" and not "husband and wife"?

Isn’t it the bride’s duty and right to deal with ancestral property and decorate the new home?

It's just a change of words, but in reality it's still——

But Jiu Niang was unaware of this and was very enthusiastic in "helping".

Wang Mian's mouth moved, she really wanted to remind Di Changgui.

But just when Wang Mian had this thought, she suddenly felt a sharp and terrifying chill.

All the hairs on her body stood up and her heart was pounding.

Wang Mian was shocked and hurried to see Lou Yu.

Lou Yu was still concentrating on looking at Wang Heng, not even glancing at her from the corner of his eye.

Not Lou Yu?

If not him, then who else?

Wang Mian felt a palpitation in his heart and was about to break out in a cold sweat: Ahhhh, I was right, the little pervert has really become even crazier!

……

Lou Yu handed everything over to Wang Heng again. Wang Heng did not refuse, but excitedly pulled Wang Mian, Zheng Shisan, and the craftsmen borrowed by Lou Yu from the Ministry of Works to discuss the matter.

While waiting for the imperial edict, Wang Heng not only continued to make her presence felt at the bedside of Wang Lin and Madam Xie, but also spent most of her time taking care of miscellaneous affairs for Lou Yu.

When Xie Yanzhi came to say goodbye, Wang Heng took a blueprint and gestured with Wang Mian:

"My brother's Duke's Mansion is so big that it even has a small hill enclosed. I want to make a rare animal garden here..."
