Chapter Thirty-Three: Informing the Details

  She and Dugu Feng joked around for a bit, resolving her worries, and finally made the furious Dugu Big Sister turn from anger to laughter. But it's unclear if she was addicted to Li Jiancheng or not, but she insisted on continuing to play with him several times. Helpless, he could only satisfy her wishes, so the two of them excitedly played in her room. As a newcomer, how could she be a match for Li Jiancheng, who had experience from his past life? So every time, she was left gasping for breath and raising her hands in defeat, but after a while, she would say she wanted revenge and continue to play, making Li Jiancheng suspect that she was using this as an excuse to get him to tease her.

  After gnawing for more than 10 times, she finally stopped. When Li Jiancheng asked her why she was so desperate, she said with a smile: "Brother Jiancheng, you're leaving in a few days and I don't know when we'll meet again, so I want to make up for the time you won't be here." Li Jiancheng was speechless! This is also okay. But her words touched me deeply.

  He suddenly remembered something, so he took out the toothbrush and toothpaste from his arms: "This is for you, this thing should be used like this." After explaining how to use the toothbrush and toothpaste once, he stopped talking after she nodded in understanding.

  However, after listening to Li Jiancheng's wonderful use of toothpaste and toothbrushes, she stared at Li Jiancheng with a suspicious gaze, making Li Jiancheng extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't help but ask: "Feng'er, why are you looking at me like that?"

  "Jian Cheng Gege, didn't you have plans to kiss me all along? Otherwise, how could you come up with something like this?" Dugu Feng looked at him suspiciously.

  "Cough, cough..." Li Jiancheng almost choked, "What were you thinking?! I saw this introduction in a miscellaneous book and made some for use, seeing the effect was good before giving it to you. I didn't expect you to think of me like that, it's really heartbreaking." After finishing, he made a distressed expression.

  "Brother Jiancheng, it's my fault, don't be like this!" Dugu Feng pouted again, and Li Jiancheng could only show helplessness. "But Brother Jiancheng, there's just this little toothpaste left, what if others get used to not having toothpaste in the future?"

  "Hehe, don't worry about this, later I'll take you to get something and tell you a place, then you can go pick it up yourself." Li Jiancheng said mysteriously.

  "What is it? Go get it?" Du Gu Feng said with a flirtatious tone, shaking his arm.

  Li Jiancheng leaned his face close to her ear, and Dugu Feng looked at him with an excited expression, perking up her ears. "It's a secret!" he said, bursting into loud laughter.

  "Jiancheng brother, you're so bad! I'm ignoring you now." After saying that, she pretended to be angry and turned her head to the side.

  "Alright, alright! I was wrong. I'll tell you later." Li Jiancheng raised his hands in a surrendering gesture and said, "My mother should have discussed it with your grandmother by now. Let's go take a look." Only then did she remember that there were more important things to attend to, so she quickly tidied up her clothes and the two of them walked together into the living room.

  "Cheng Er, when did you arrive?" Li Jian had just entered the living room when Du Xian already discovered him and shouted over.

  "The child just arrived a moment ago and knew that his mother was discussing something with Mrs. You, so he didn't dare to come in and disturb them." Li Jiancheng explained.

  "You little scamp, thinking your mother doesn't know what you're up to, and yet you say you don't dare come disturb me." Du Yan's face feigned anger.

  "Hehe, kids will always be kids, Mrs. Li shouldn't blame them!" Yu Chuhong intervened to mediate.

  Dugu Feng walked up to You Chuhong's side, coquettishly asking: "Grandma, what are you all discussing?"

  "You also asked Grandma, and the one who was eavesdropping outside just now didn't know which one it was. The conversation wasn't finished yet, but they ran back to their room to play with their temper." Yu Chuhong teased. At her level of cultivation, ordinary people found it difficult to get close to her, and any breath or sound could easily be detected.

  Dugu Feng's face was flushed, thinking about what had just happened with Li Jiancheng was like a dream, afraid that when she woke up, everything would disappear. Yu Chuhong thought Dugu Feng's red face was because the eavesdropping was exposed, but didn't know that Dugu Feng was actually blushing for another reason. At this time, Li Jiancheng standing aside was sweating profusely, fearing that Dugu Feng would accidentally reveal what had happened.

  "Grandma, you still haven't told me what's going on?" Dugu Feng continued to act spoiled, perhaps in the Dugu household only she received this treatment. Other people were trembling with fear in front of You Chuhong, even her sons Dugu Feng and Dugu Sheng were the same.

  "Alright, alright! Grandma will tell you." Yu Chuhong said with a smile: "Jiancheng and his family are moving to Taiyuan now, so your marriage with Jiancheng is a bit of a problem." After finishing her sentence, she paused for a moment, originally wanting to see Dugu Feng's anxious expression. However, she saw that Dugu Feng was only listening curiously, as if listening to a story. The old and cunning Yu Chuhong knew that Li Jiancheng had already comforted her, so she continued: "So I discussed with your mother, we will postpone the marriage between you two until they settle down in Taiyuan, what do you think?"

  At this time, Dugu Feng also knew the situation and was no longer angry. She said shyly: "Everything depends on Nainai's decision." Oh! This girl can still be shy, everyone looked at her as if they had seen something magical.

  "Grandma, you're so mean! I'm not going to talk to you anymore!" After saying that, she stomped her foot and ran outside.

  "Ah!" Suddenly, a voice came, and it turned out that Dugu Wen had been knocked over by Dugu Feng as he walked in. Dugu Wen was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground. "Huh? What's wrong with Feng'er?" Dugu Wen wondered, scratching his head and muttering to himself.

  "Wen'er, what's wrong?" Yu Chuhong asked.

  "I have come to inform you, Grandmother, that lunch is ready. Mother has asked me to invite you and Mrs. Li to join us for the meal." Dugu Wenke was not like Dugu Feng, who could speak casually; he always spoke with utmost respect.

  "Alright, I know! We'll go right away." Yu Chuhong replied, then pulled Duo Yin to leave. Before leaving, Duo Yin asked Li Jiancheng to call Dugu Feng over, not to let her starve, and she was so indignant! Not yet married into the family, Duo Yin had already begun to bully her, but still needed to listen to what she had to say. After asking the guard, he knew that she had run back to her own room, so he slowly walked towards her room.

  "Feng'er, dinner is ready, come out quickly." Li Jiancheng shouted from outside the door.

  "No, I won't eat anymore! Everyone is laughing at me." Du Guofeng's voice came from inside.

  "If you're not going, I'll go myself." He said that and stopped, standing by the door without saying another word.

  After a while, the sound of the door bolt moving was heard, and Li Jiancheng sneered: "You little kid, still playing this trick with me." "Brother Jiancheng is really bad, not saying a few good words, if you say so, others will agree." Along with the opening of the door, Dugu Feng's voice also rang out.

  "Feng'er, what are you saying about me again?" Li Jiancheng suddenly walked out from beside and asked.

  "No, no! I said Brother Gong worked hard to call me, and I will listen." Dugu Feng covered up, unaware that he had heard her words. However, in order not to make her embarrassed again, he didn't say anything and took her to eat instead. During the meal, the people of the Dugu family were amazed, knowing that Dugu Feng was usually hard to persuade, but now he easily called her over. Everyone looked at him with new eyes, and his mother was even more delighted. As the saying goes: "A mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and likes him more and more."

  After finishing dinner, I chatted with everyone for a bit before bringing Dugu Feng to the blacksmith's shop.

  "Boss, is what I want ready yet?" Li Jiancheng shouted into the blacksmith's shop.

  "Alright, sir! Here's what you wanted. Take a look and see if it's satisfactory." The boss asked respectfully, knowing that Li Jiancheng was a regular customer who had brought them a lot of benefits, so they made sure to complete his tasks with care and speed.

  "Not bad, pretty good!" He held three tokens in his hand, each with a "5" in the middle. It was unknown whether it was the boss's special favoritism or not, but there were some jade fragments added to the middle "5", making it look quite beautiful. Du Gu Feng beside him was even more starry-eyed, but in order to tease her, Li Jian Cheng pretended not to see it. Annoyed, Du Gu Feng kept blinking her eyes, wanting him to understand, but he just wouldn't let her have her way and never brought it up.

  Then he paid the money and brought Du Gu Feng to "West Travel Inn". Li Jian Cheng gave He Qing a wink, and went straight to the fourth floor. The Li family had a pass for entering and exiting the fourth floor, so no one would suspect anything, let alone that he was with Du Gu Feng. Everyone thought it was just the young master of the Li family trying to impress someone by going to the fourth floor to eat. At the same time, many people were secretly laughing in their hearts: This kid is going to the fourth floor to flirt with girls, and when it's time to pay, he'll be crying.

  He had reached the fourth floor, where he used his specially made jade utensils, on which was written "zero" instead of Li Yuan's "one". Since no one else could see it, he wasn't worried. But standing next to him, Dugu Feng found it strange - Li's family's piece wasn't a "one", how did it become zero? However, thinking that she didn't ask anything out loud, with so many people around, it was good that she was still the gentle lady of the house, and knew her place.

  Entering the fourth floor, I casually found a room with the character "bamboo" and sat down. Dugu Feng wasn't entering for the first time either, so there was nothing too strange about it. She just curiously looked around, comparing it to the room she entered last time. Indeed, each room had its own characteristics. A while later, He Qing came in and saw Dugu Feng without surprise. Nowadays, many people knew that she was the Li family's bride-to-be who hadn't crossed the threshold yet. As one of Li Jiancheng's trusted people, He Qing couldn't possibly not know. However, it was unknown whether he wanted to let Dugu Feng know, so she didn't speak up.

  Li Jiancheng couldn't help but admire her inwardly, and even He Qing, whom he had brought along, didn't relax, for years of management had honed her to be increasingly sharp.

  "Aunt He, don't worry about anything. This time I brought Feng'er here is to let her know some things." Li Jiancheng said to He Qing, then turned his head to say to Dugu Feng who was curious at this time: "You don't have to guess, the behind-the-scenes boss of this wine house is me. It was bought with the silver given by my mother in exchange for a ring when I was 7 years old. And it gradually developed into this."

  "Wow! You're not rich, are you? I heard that this wine house is very profitable. In the future, can't I just ask you for money when I want to buy something?" Li Jiancheng was sweating, how could he react like this?!

  "Of course! My money is your money, from now on if you want to buy anything just come find Aunt He and I'll give you two things." After finishing speaking, he handed over a jade card for entering the fourth floor with the character "two" written on it, as well as a bronze token. Li Jiancheng first pointed at the jade card for entering the fourth floor and said: "You also know what this is, I won't say more." Then he pointed at the other bronze token and said: "There are only three of these tokens, I'm giving you this bronze one, if you have something going on just bring this to find Aunt He for help, she'll do her best to help you. But remember, these two things can't be let known by anyone else, got it?" Li Jiancheng said seriously.

  "Or can't even my grandmother say it?" asked Dugu Feng weakly.

  "That's right, if it can't be used, then don't let her know." Li Jiancheng emphasized again.

  "Oh!" replied Dugu Feng.

  "Feng'er, from now on if you need help with anything, come find me, Aunt He will help!" He Qing said softly while pulling Du Gu Feng along, after all she was the Li family's designated daughter-in-law, and her own thoughts still needed her help!

  "Alright, Aunt He, you've seen the token and Feng'er has recognized it too. From now on, I'll rely on you to take care of her!" Li Jiancheng said, then he and Dugu Feng casually ate something - after all, everything here is expensive, and waste is not good. Then, he took a happy Dugu Feng away. The people eating below were still puzzled, why didn't they see their gloomy faces? But soon they forgot about these things!

  Feng'er was sent back to Dugu's residence, and Li Jiancheng also returned to make preparations.

  Three days later, it was time for Li Jia to leave.
