Golden Branch

Lou Dalang chewed the chewy dried meat hard, with the corners of his mouth raised high.

He was very happy. It wasn't that he liked the dried meat very much. He had been in the Lou family and had eaten all kinds of delicious food.

What he really cared about was that the fat girl took the dried meat out of her snack basket and fed it to him with her own hands.

and many more!

Lou Dalang seemed to have thought of something and stopped chewing suddenly.

Just now, the fat girl fed the fat cat in the same way!

I just thought the jerky was chewy and salty, but it instantly became tasteless!

A sinister glint flashed in Lou Dalang's eyes. He looked at Wang Heng and said, "Fatty, do you like Li Nu very much?"

What's good about a fat cat?

Moreover, it is not a rare variety.

Not to mention other places, even in Qi, there is a very rare lion cat.

I heard that it was first brought here by Hu merchants from the Western Regions, and then bred in Qi, forming a new variety: the whole body is snow-white, and the two cat eyes are one blue and the other golden, which is so beautiful.

The rich and powerful keep cats, and they all keep this kind of precious cats.

What a fat girl, she actually likes a fat, ugly and stupid cat.

Well, that’s not right. The cat is not stupid at all. It often comes to the fat girl to beg for food and drink, but it has never recognized the fat girl as its owner.

"...Humph, the fat girl is still dumber after all! She can't even control a raccoon!"

Lou Dalang secretly complained, but a smile appeared on his face.

Wang Heng felt a chill on her back. What evil thing was this little bully planning?

Wang Heng was on guard, but she still answered his question obediently: "Ajiu likes Li Nu!"

It's furry and fleshy, and it feels so satisfying to touch it.

That orange raccoon is also very cunning.

Wang Heng loves to engage in a battle of wits and courage with it – You won’t let me touch it? Hey, then I’ll give you something delicious!

Everyone else said that the cat was hard to tame, but Wang Heng remembered that when her mother left, it was the fat cat that stayed by her side, even turned over its belly and let her touch it.

"If you like raccoon cats, how about I get you a lion cat? Snow-white, with mandarin duck eyes..."

“…” Wang Heng still smiled sweetly, but her face did not show the desire to be seduced successfully.

Lou Dalang's smile froze.

Fat girl doesn’t like it?

Did she set her sights on that fat raccoon?

"Actually, there's nothing much fun about raccoons. Fatty, how about I get you a rabbit? It's also furry, with long ears and red eyes!"

Lou Dalang really got into a fight and insisted on making the fat girl "fall in love with someone else".

Wang Heng had already silently rejected Lou Dalang once, and she knew it was not good to refuse again.

The little bully of the Lou family is not a good-tempered person. He may tolerate it once, but may not tolerate it a second time.

"...Okay! Thank you, brother!"

Wang Heng nodded obediently and thanked him sweetly.

The slight anger that Lou Dalang had just felt slowly faded away when he saw the standard "glutinous rice dumpling".

……

After agreeing to get a rabbit for the fat girl, Lou Dalang ended the topic.

He looked around and found that there was no one else in the yard except the fat girl's mother and the maid.

"Where's the untouchable?"

Lou Dalang still remembers the delicious food made by Wang Mian. Although it was a bit rough, it was novel.

Moreover, Lou Dalang could feel Wang Mian's great ambition.

Humph, another lucky guy who likes to use "unconventional methods".

Although he was born in a humble family, he had a high aspiration and was good at sweet talk... Only the fat girl was easy to fool, which gave the untouchable some opportunities.

As the little bully of the Lou family, Lou Dalang even looks down on his brothers and sisters, let alone the lowly farm slaves?

Of course, Lou Dalang would not admit that the ugly girl not only knew how to make some novel foods, but also made up stories which were quite interesting.

Regarding that monkey that jumped out of the stone, Lou Dalang really wanted to know what happened next.

"She's been dying to get close to you, a noble man, and now she's finally got you. Why didn't she show her affection today?"

Lou Dalang clearly wanted to listen to the story, but he still acted as if he was disgusted.

When talking about Wang Mian, his tone was extremely harsh.

"Brother, are you talking about Amian?"

Wang Heng did not correct Lou Dalang's words, nor did she emphasize that "Amian is not a pariah" or "although their family used to be tenants of the Wang family, they are all free now."

Because Wang Heng knew that if she said that, it would definitely cause an argument with Lou Dalang.

If she is not careful, not only will she not be able to speak for Wang Mian, but she will also implicate Wang Mian.

The bully's arrogance is definitely not just a child's prank.

Wang Heng had already learned about Cui's experience from Fu's mother. Of course, she did not know the secret of Cui's miscarriage, but that Cui was chased around the yard by a swarm of hornets in public.

While running, my hairpin fell off, my hair got messy, I fell down, and my dress got dirty...

The noble lady of the Cui family and the mistress of the Wang family were howling and rolling on the ground like a shrew in the market. How could they have any dignity at all?

Cui was embarrassed.

This was not the most terrifying thing. Fu's mother also learned from the attendants following Wang Lin that many of the maids around Cui were stung in order to protect her.

In mild cases, the head will be covered with lumps.

The most serious one actually developed a high fever due to his injury.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to survive, but he also lost half his life.

Although she is a lowly slave, she is still a living person after all.

He almost lost his life because of Lou Dalang's "prank"!

In addition, Fu's mother asked someone to go to the Lou family manor to make careful inquiries and obtained more "evidence" of Lou Dalang's crimes.

From the young men and women of the Lou family to the slaves and guards... Lou Dalang is truly known for his bad behavior.

The more Wang Heng knew about Lou Dalang, the more cautious she became when facing him.

This person might not hurt her, but Wang Heng didn't want to implicate innocent people.

Therefore, even though Wang Heng was not happy to hear Lou Dalang constantly calling people "pariahs", she would not speak out against it.

She pretended not to hear and continued answering the question according to her own train of thought: "A Mian came yesterday and brought a new kind of food!"

"It's not something rare, it's just tofu!"

"However, Amian is very creative and can make many delicious dishes with just tofu."

Tofu pudding, dried tofu, fried tofu, tofu puff, frozen tofu, and bean curd sheets.

There were so many delicious foods that even if Wang Heng only took a bite of each, her belly was full.

"Oh, right, there's also moldy tofu and stinky tofu! They taste a bit weird, and Mother Fu stopped me from eating them!"

Wang Heng's eyes light up when she talks about food.

In front of Lou Dalang, she was like a happy bird, chirping and talking endlessly.

"Huh! It's just tofu, how can you make flowers out of it?"

“…”He actually made flowers!

Wensi tofu, when put into water, becomes a blooming chrysanthemum!

These words seemed to be a response to Lou Dalang. Although Wang Heng got excited when she mentioned delicious food, she didn't get too excited.

She pursed her lips slightly and stopped praising Wang Mian.

Amian is indeed very capable, but Lou Dalang looks down on her.

Wang Heng decided not to bring trouble to Amian!

"...What's up? Fatty, you're silent again? Are you dissatisfied?"

Lou Dalang is definitely a naughty kid. He definitely doesn't like to hear Wang Heng speak up for Wang Mian.

But Wang Heng kept her mouth shut, and Lou Dalang was still not satisfied.

He reached out his hand with great familiarity and pinched Wang Heng's little face with two fingers.

Wang Heng: …

"Brother, I'm not dissatisfied!"

Wang Heng remained calm and didn't even cry out in pain this time.

My mother also said, don’t complain all the time.

If you say the same thing too many times, it will be useless.

Wang Heng didn't cry out in pain, but her big eyes were misty, and she looked so pitiful.

"If you're not dissatisfied, why don't you speak?"

Lou Dalang still spoke in a harsh tone, but his fingers loosened.

Sure enough, a red mark appeared on the little face, which was as white and tender as a glutinous rice ball.

Lou Dalang felt a little guilty and couldn't help but hide one hand behind his back.

But then, he raised his chin again: This is not my fault! Who made the fat girl so delicate?

Tsk, this skin is just like tender tofu, a slight touch will leave marks.

Tofu?

Lou Dalang had just heard Wang Heng bragging about the tofu of that untouchable, but he didn't feel anything.

But at this moment, looking at Wang Heng's fair and tender face and the red mark, Lou Dalang actually felt a little greedy.

"Brother, I don't know what to say!"

Wang Heng was still answering questions obediently.

There was a layer of confusion on her aggrieved little face, as if she was saying: Brother, what do you want to hear me say?

"Tofu!"

Lou Dalang blurted out these words.

"what?"

Wang Heng opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at Lou Dalang.

It was as if he had completely lost track of Lou Dalang's train of thought - the topic changed too quickly.

"What? You fat girl, you're still feeling wronged when I tell you to be lazy!"

Lou Dalang also reacted, yes, why are you talking about "tofu" for no reason?

However, as a little bully, once you say something, it’s like spilled water, and you can never take it back.

"You just praised that untouchable so much and said the tofu was delicious. Aren't you trying to treat me to some?"

In order to hide his embarrassment, Lou Dalang stretched out his hand that he had just hidden behind his back, and his target was naturally the little face of a fat girl.

Wang Heng quickly raised her little hands, one on the left and one on the right, and covered her little face tightly.

The little guy was quite strong, and his round face was a little deformed after squeezing with his two hands.

But she is so good-looking that even with this "funny" look, she is still cute.

"Hmph! Silly girl!"

His movements were predicted by the fat girl.

Lou Dalang was a little disappointed.

In particular, the fat girl's look of being on guard against thieves made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Having raised his hand, Lou Dalang did not put it down. Instead, he bent his fingers and gently tapped the fat girl's forehead.

boom!

The force wasn't too strong, but it still left a red mark.

"pain!"

"Serves you right! You were so busy covering your face that you forgot you even have a forehead!"

Hearing the soft sound of "pain" again, the unhappiness in Lou Dalang's heart disappeared.

He raised his chin proudly, his face full of arrogance, as if to say: You fat girl, you still want to hide? No way!

If I can’t pinch the face, can I tap the forehead?

You don’t have a third hand, cover your forehead!

Wang Heng: …

……

Lou Dalang wanted to eat tofu, so the kitchen in the farm became busy.

Dried tofu, tofu skin, fried tofu, tofu puffs... Lou Dalang even got a portion of the hairy tofu and stinky tofu that Fu's mother didn't allow Wang Heng to eat.

Everything else is fine, but when Lou Dalang saw the stinky tofu, his eyes sparkled.

Wang Heng: ...Oh no! The Little Overlord is causing trouble again!

Sure enough, a few days later, Wang Heng received news—

The gentleman hired by Lou Jinxin was driven away by Lou Dalang for the Nth time.

He poured the stinky tofu juice into the master's most precious inkstone. The ink that came out was so smelly that it almost made the master faint.

The gentleman didn't faint from the stench, but he fainted from anger. He blew his beard and roared, "What an insult to civility! What an insult to civility!"

"This is top-quality pine soot ink! It's ruined! It's all ruined!"

The inkstone was smelly and the ink was also "contaminated". After the gentleman roared, he just turned around and left.

Wang Heng was speechless upon hearing this, but she couldn't help but worry: "Uh, General Lou must be furious. He, he won't take his anger out on Amian, will he?"

After all, this thing that stinkier than shit was made by Amian!

Uh, and there’s also Wang Heng. It was she who let Lou Dalang know that there is such a delicacy as stinky tofu in this world!

However, Wang Heng was worrying too much.

Lou Jin is not the kind of person who takes his anger out on others.

Or perhaps, he was too aware of his son's virtues.

Or maybe, Lou Jin still remembered that whether it was Wang Mian or Wang Heng, they were not members of his Lou family, so he couldn't take his anger out on them.

Lou Jin simply tied up Lou Dalang and prepared to whip him severely.

But... seeing Lou Dalang raise his head stubbornly, the person he had been thinking about day and night emerged in Lou Jin's mind again.

Forget it, the child is still young and has no mother to teach him, so he is a little naughty.

He will intensify his efforts to find "her" as soon as possible. With his mother's discipline, Dalang may be able to change for the better!

As for sir, this one is not bad!

The world was in turmoil, the dynasty existed in name only, and many famous officials and great scholars were either caught up in court struggles, exiled, or retired from the world.

As a martial artist, Lou Jin knows best the principle that "force can defeat skill".

Well, as long as you have enough "martial virtue", it is very easy to "invite" a gentleman.

Wang Heng: ...As expected, a little bully like Lou Dalang was spoiled by General Lou.

Unfortunately, Wang Heng is not qualified to complain.

Because Lou Dalang, this little bully, may be extremely bad to outsiders, but he is still very good to her.

Just as the stinky tofu incident was over, Lou Dalang climbed up the wall of Wangjiazhuangzi again.

This time, Lou Dalang was not alone, he was holding a snow-white rabbit in his arms.

"Bunny?"

Wang Heng's face lit up.

She does like raccoons, but she also likes the equally furry and chubby little rabbits.

This rabbit is not big, probably only about two or three months old.

Snow-white fur, red eyes, long ears, and short tail.

Holding the tiny ball in her arms, Wang Heng felt like her heart was melting.

Seeing that the fat girl liked it so much, Lou Dalang was proud, but he couldn't help but feel a little jealous -

He's just a little beast, is he worthy of such joy from the fat girl?!
