In the past few days, Qi Er and his gang did not come to find him. His mother was right. He was considered a person with a family, so it was impossible for him to wander around outside all day. In this world, poor young men who came out at the age of fifteen or sixteen to make a living were everywhere. For seventeen or eighteen years old like him, even if his family was rich, it was impossible for him to really indulge himself.
Dandy would always be the minority.
On the morning of the third day, after exercising and eating breakfast, he was preparing to go to his mother's place to pay his respects and then start a busy day. However, he did not expect Aunt Caihuan to lead a few maids and women from the inner courtyard to rush in and surround him.
Looking at the various clothes, shoes, hats, jade ornaments, and powder in their hands, he immediately understood their intentions. He secretly complained about his carelessness and hurriedly called for Ping An.
"Go and greet Qi Er. Tell him that I'm in trouble today and need the help of my brothers. Tell them to wait for me at the Lake Outing Spring Festival!"
Auntie Caihuan laughed at the side. "This is not a fight. Everyone here is a cultured person, and they are doing elegant things. Why do you have to call your scoundrel friends over? Little husband, are you feeling guilty? Are you embarrassed?"
Lou Xiaoyi laughed awkwardly. He really had nothing to be embarrassed about. He was not a virgin when it came to matters between men and women. Although he did not marry in his previous life, he had many playmates. Some spent money, and some did not. Therefore, when he came to this world, he was not in a hurry to ask for such things.
In fact, in the first three or four months, Aunt Caihuan had hinted several times that the rough servant girls in his room could actually be used. This was also the rule of a big house. It couldn't be that they had reached the age of marriage and still didn't know anything, right?
It was precisely because their appearances and figures were very ordinary that they were arranged to be in his room. Even if they were used, there would not be any repercussions. Before marriage, they would be given more money to settle the matter.
Large households basically used this method in the process of the male offspring growing up. There were also male elders in the family who brought their children to the Turbid Hall to fool around. It was not out of line, but to train the children's basic willpower to not be tempted. Only in this way would they dare to let them handle the family affairs in the future. Otherwise, if a vixen seduced them and did something big that damaged the family, it would be troublesome.
The more he saw, the lighter it became.
However, these were all methods used by businessmen. They were not suitable for Lou Province. After all, a scholarly family had to care about their reputation. Most importantly, Lou Province did not have an adult male owner! There was no suitable elder to guide Lou Xiaoyi, and it wasn't appropriate for women like them to say these things out loud. Previously, Lou Xiaoyi was a blockhead, and now, Lou Xiaoyi was a sly old fox …
"I just showered last night …" Lou Xiaoyi struggled weakly.
Aunt Cai Huan refused to budge. "Wash it again! You call that a bath? Don't think that I don't know. Even after washing, the leftover soup can be used to make porridge!
Look at you now, the sweat on your body can be smelled from afar. People won't think that you're the young master of the Lou Family, they'll think that you're an early riser working outside.
Today's water needs to be spiced and petal. My family's young master needs to dress up nicely so that the young lady won't hate him! "
Under the giggling of a few maids in the inner courtyard, Lou Xiaoyi finally finished bathing. Originally, he didn't have such thoughts. He woke up early in the morning, but was washed by a few maids until he was full of anger.
What made him angrier was his clothes. Usually, he didn't care about what he wore. The two female elders in the residence did not ask him to dress up. Instead, they were proud of his frugality and indifference. However, this was not the case. When it came to an occasion like Lou Province, which was considered the top family in the Kingdom of Darkness, how could a group of country bumpkins in Pu City compare to them?
Aunt Cai Huan was even more outstanding. She was someone who once served the old master in the palace!
He was dressed in a pure lake-green scholar's robe, noble and simple. A pure white ribbon was tied around his waist with a delicate ruyi knot. He was wearing a pair of black boots with a thousand layers of ragged soles. His hair was tied up with a simple scholar's cloth and an ancient jade hairpin. His hair was draped over his shoulders, making him look dashing and unruly. He was not married, nor was he an adult, so his hair did not need to be tied up.
His entire body was just a decoration. The ancient jade tied to his waist was also green. The jade was of the highest quality, but the pattern was simple, which matched his scholar's robe perfectly.
As expected of a fashion expert's eyesight. This was not a pile of wealth. While the rich in Pu City were still competing to see whose family's warehouse was more well-stocked, Aunt Cai Huan had already broken away from this level of vulgarity.
She turned around in satisfaction and looked at him again and again. Only then did Aunt Cai Huan snort.
"The Li Family's third son is also at the Lake Outing Spring Festival. He also wants to eat swan meat, but how can he compare to my family's Xiao Yi?
I don't even need to think to know that that kid must be dressed in gold and jade. He's unbearably vulgar! Don't worry, Xiao Yi. That young lady from the Lin Family is a scholar. How can she not distinguish between good and bad, beautiful and ugly? With Xiao Yi's simple Dafa, that so-called son of the richest man in the Li Family is just a gold and jade peddler in front of you!
You don't even need to open your mouth to suppress him! "
Lou Xiaoyi did not have any temper in front of this aunt. This was because they had grown up together. In terms of time, they had spent together even longer than his mother, because his mother had to spend most of her time on how to maintain the operations of Lou Province.
"Aunt Cai Huan, why do I feel that this smell is a little too fragrant? It's making me dizzy. With such a strong fragrance, won't it make people feel that it's too feminine? "
As a mature soul, he had never used cologne in his previous life. In this life, he had also never dressed up so meticulously. He really could not accept this smell. This was not the reason for the fragrance and the stench.
Aunt Cai Huan glared at him. "What feminine? You're only saying this because you haven't been to this kind of occasion often enough!
Aunt dares to bet that among the young masters going today, you're the only one who smells this little bit! That Li Family's third son, he can't wait to pour a bottle on himself and drink a bottle in his mouth. Even his mouth is full of fragrance! "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed again. "I hope he didn't eat mutton and onions last night!"
Lou Xiaoyi and his group began to walk out under the escort of a group of servant girls. Aunt Cai Huan, who was at the side, was constantly reminding them.
"Your mother said that there's no need to go pay respects today. You've already spent more than half an hour dressing up. The lake party should have already begun, right?
Let me tell you, Xiao Yi. In this kind of situation, going too early or too late is very particular. If it's too early, it'll make you seem impatient, and our Lou Province will not lose face. If it's too late, it'll be disrespectful, and our scholarly family won't do it …
When you see young ladies, you don't need to deliberately show off. Someone like you, Xiao Yi, just need to stand there, and you'll naturally stand out. Don't talk too much. Young ladies generally don't like people who talk too much. That'll make them seem frivolous. But you also can't be as silent as you usually are. You have to focus on the main points.
You have to be steady. Don't laugh casually, and don't keep a straight face … "
Lou Xiaoyi was exhausted under Aunt Cai Huan's bombardment. He was just going to participate in a lake party, not to take an exam. Was there a need to be so serious?
Finally, he walked out of the main door. Accompanied by Ping An and an old soldier, he galloped away. Behind him, Aunt Cai Huan's voice could be heard.
"Xiao Yi, don't eat anything …"
