He actually sched against Lady Changsheng. How should this end?
“A common man is innocent of carrying jade, but guilty if he knows its value, you fool. You’ve sched and now brought a disaster ho!” Hu Yihai staggered back one step and sat on the chair, his face shifting between light and dark.
“Father, why don’t we return the dical book?” Hu Tiandong followed with a step on his knees and opened his mouth.
“Return it, we must, otherwise, do you think we could really keep this dical book safe? We might even attract a deadly disaster!” Lady Changsheng had said it well; without the diamonds, don’t take on delicate tasks. This hot potato of a dical book, only soone as fierce as Lady Changsheng could keep it safe!
“Father, what exactly should we do?” Hu Tiandong’s heart was flipping wildly, completely unnerved, truly terrified.
...
“Return it! And we have to find a way to return it that will please Lady Changsheng! She is straightforward and spirited in her actions. As long as the result satisfies her, your life will be in no danger.” Hu Yihai stroked his beard in the shape of the number eight and bowed his head in deep thought.
…
The next day, as the sun set in the west and rumors filled the city, it didn’t affect Gu Changsheng in the slightest. She closed her door to the rumors and focused solely on living her simple life.
After dinner, full of food and wine, Gu Changsheng, looking like a street bully, waved her Little Willow Whip around. She stepped forward and knocked Little at Bun as he wobbled in his horse stance, and when Xiao Cui’s posture was wrong, she also stepped forward to mock him a bit, looking thoroughly pleased and at ease.
“Xiao Lei, are you so full that you’re about to fall over? Your butt’s almost touching the ground!” A Little Willow Whip swung out, conveniently landing right on Dong Lei’s backside.
Gu Changsheng was contentedly bullying, while Dong Lei pouted and resignedly lifted his bottom.
“Folk say, ‘Train in the cold of winter and the heat of sumr; externally strengthen muscles and skin, internally cultivate your breath.’ Cultivating breath is too profound for to help you, but toughening up muscles and skin is exactly what I excel in. Look at a few of you, attracting all the attention with your handso looks. If one day you want to beat street thugs and overturn bullies like , then you better train hard.” Little Willow Whip cracked “thwack thwack,” and Gu Changsheng had the air of only wanting what’s best for them.
“Mother, I’m a man; I won’t be attracting unwanted attention. Can I not practice?” Little at Bun straightened his little body, lifted his little bottom, and took the opportunity to speak.
“No way!” The Little Willow Whip accurately hit the raised little bottom. “Even though you’re not a woman, your mother has good genes, which will surely make a handso gentleman out of you. When that happens, you’ll truly attract unwanted attention. You’ll need to be able to beat female thugs and overturn female ruffians, understand?”
Everyone: “…”
They looked at the Young Master sympathetically. Bargaining with the Lady was digging his own grave; he didn’t even realize how he was being ridiculed!
And the Lady’s words, sothing about genes, it sounded like the blind leading the blind, blowing her own trumpet!
“Alright, enough with your constipated faces. Don’t ignore the good fortune at your feet. Had you not seen what devil-like training is, you’d really think this is suffering.” Gu Changsheng gracefully took a seat on the stone stool, picked up the already prepared cup of tea, and sighed in comfort.
Her homade oolong tea was much better than the tea cakes of this era. She was fed up with the food of this era; it barely qualified as simple fare in her eyes.
Thus, improving Xiao Lei’s culinary skills was of utmost urgency, sothing not to be neglected at any mont.
They have the silk clothes; how far could the exquisite food be?
Not far! The revolution has not yet succeeded, and Changsheng must still strive! She silently cheered herself on, utterly convinced that, even in this challenging era, she would thrive and feel as natural as a fish in water.
The others saw their Lady gradually abandoning her demureness, leisurely crossing her legs in an unladylike manner, swinging them back and forth, making their bodies sway while they held their horse stances…
Among them, the Han brothers, Han Qiu and Han Mo, were in a slightly better situation. One had kung fu at his disposal, making the horse stance a piece of cake, though unable to withstand the heavy sandbags tied to his limbs by the Lady. The younger one, because of his age, had a narrow escape. Being born in a family of military generals, he had so advantages over others. But Gu Changsheng wouldn’t let Han Mo feel superior so easily, occasionally calling him to hop in a horse stance to fetch things, never allowing anyone to feel comfortable!
“You all say, should our new ho have jade tiles and chili paste walls? What if I build a Golden House and keep a few handso n there, just for pleasure? In that case, my life would indeed be complete.” Gu Changsheng idly talked nonsense to distract those who were training their muscles tough.
Eunuch Yuan Bao, perched on the wall, trembled with his rounded body, nearly falling off. He scoffed internally, not knowing whether Lady Changsheng would feel complete, but if he dared tell his master this, he, Yuan Bao, would definitely be complete!
But could he dare to keep this secret? Eunuch Yuan Bao wiped the sweat from his nose and wept; he dared not! Woe is … Who will reign in this life-threatening Lady Changsheng!
“Lady, don’t exaggerate too much, or you might attract the Gentleman on the Beam,” Han Qiu warned good-naturedly as he dabbed the sweat from his forehead.
“Hmph, when you’re poor you worry about als, when you’re rich, you worry about not flaunting wealth. Being wealthy, why is it so difficult?” Gu Changsheng sighed with a hint of resentnt.
Everyone: “…”
The Lady knows how to draw envy, hitting the nail on the head with each word!
“In the end, being a cultured scholar is the true way. Let’s be low-key wealthy, poor on the outside, glorious on the inside. To appear noble yet only know it ourselves, how great!” Her phoenix eyes gleaming brightly, Gu Changsheng made up her mind.
