Chapter 255 Abducting a handsome guy to be her husband 10
Gao Changgong walked into the study and saw a plate of pastries on the table. He frowned his pretty brows and said displeasedly, "Did she send it again? Tell her not to do these in the future."

What Gao Changgong said by her was Zheng Er. Zheng Er has been bringing him food these days, and he ate it a few times, but it was not to his liking.

"Fourth Lord, this pastry is not made by the concubine, but by Miss Xuewu." Qianping, the little maid beside him poured a cup of tea for Gao Changgong, seeing that he didn't look at the pastry, she couldn't help but said.

Yang Xuewu is very popular in the mansion, and most of the maids are familiar with her.

"It's nothing, you go down." Gao Changgong glanced at the pastry, his unemotional eyes were a little turbulent.

"Yes, Fourth Master." Qian Ping bowed and backed out.

Gao Changgong's gaze stayed on the pastry for a few seconds, but he still didn't eat it, so he picked up a book and read it.

"Brother Chang Gong, why are you still reading? Go out to play with me." Bai Shijing rushed in. She is the daughter of the accountant Mr. Bai Jingyu.

When Gao Changgong was very young, Bai Jingyu took care of him. Bai Shijing was two years younger than Gao Changgong, and they grew up together. They can be called childhood sweethearts.

Bai Shijing has always liked Gao Changgong, but Gao Changgong has no affection for her, and only treats her as a younger sister.

"No, go and play by yourself." Gao Changgong said calmly without putting down the book.

"Hey, there are cakes here, I'll try them." Gao Changgong's words did not annoy Bai Shijing, she saw the cakes, picked up a piece and ate it.

"It's delicious, hey, here's a note." Bai Shijing took out a note from the tray, and was about to read it, but was snatched away by Gao Changgong.

"Didn't you say shopping? Ask Qianping to accompany you."

"Okay, then I'm leaving." Bai Shijing picked up another pastry and hurried away.

"Fourth Master, happy Qixi Festival!" Gao Changgong unfolded the note, and there was a smile in his usually indifferent eyes that he didn't even notice.

Gao Changgong picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, it was delicious.

"I seem to have eaten this pastry before." Gao Changgong ate a few more pieces. The familiar taste made him fall into memory, but he couldn't remember where he had eaten it.

"Maybe I misremembered." Gao Changgong put down the pastry and continued to read.

...

"Sister Xuewu, why don't we sneak out like this?" Xiaocui was a little worried when she was dragged to the street by Yang Xuewu.

"Don't worry, I've greeted Master Cao, let's go." Yang Xuewu dragged Xiaocui to continue walking.

"Sister Xuewu, why are there so many people on the street today?"

"Today is Qixi Festival, also called Qiqiao Festival, so there are naturally more people."

"What is Qixi Festival?" Xiaocui came from a small place, and she only knew that it was enough to eat enough and dress warmly, so she didn't pay attention to any festivals.

"Qixi is the day when Cowherd and Weaver Girl date..."

Seeing that Xiao Cui was still puzzled, Yang Xuewu simply told the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

"It's touching, let's buy some gifts too."

Looking at the small stalls on both sides of the street, listening to the hawkers' shouts, Xiao Cui's eyes lit up, but she didn't know what to buy.

"This is fine, I'll put it on for you." Yang Xuewu picked up a hairpin and put it on for Xiaocui.

"This girl is really discerning. This is a top-notch hairpin..." The peddler smiled flatteringly.

There was a mirror on the hawker's shelf, Xiaocui took a look at it, nodded with satisfaction, and was about to pay.

"Today is Qixi Festival, I will give you this hairpin." Yang Xuewu rushed to pay the money.

"Sister Xuewu, thank you!"

The two continued to stroll around and saw many people walking in one direction, so they also followed.

There are several temples in Yecheng, Yuanyin Temple is one of them.

Yuanyin Temple is usually deserted and quiet, but today it is particularly lively.

At this time, the incense in the temple was very strong, and the main hall was full of people kneeling, and even a big unremarkable tree outside the temple was covered with red cloth strips at this time.

"Sister Xuewu, what do you think they are begging for?" Looking at the kneeling girls, Xiao Cui asked curiously.

"Of course I'm begging for a good marriage. Do you want one too?" Yang Xuewu said with a smile.

"I... I don't dare to expect anything extravagantly." Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, her eyes dimmed, she only entered the mansion to make money, as for other things, she dared not think about it.

"Every girl has a dream in her heart, and you should too." Yang Xuewu patted her on the shoulder and pulled her out of the hall.

"Xiao Cui, write what you want to say on it, and then we'll hang it up." Yang Xuewu also bought some red cloth strips, although she didn't quite believe them, but she still hoped to get a good start today.

"But I can't write, and my family was poor since I was a child..." Xiaocui said with a little embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you hang it with your own wish in mind." Yang Xuewu handed the two red cloth strips to Xiao Cui.

"Xiao Cui, throw it hard, the higher the red cloth is hung, the better your wish will come true."

"it is good"

The two threw out the red cloth in their hands vigorously. Seeing that the cloth was hanging firmly on the branch, the two laughed.

"Sister Xuewu, we should go back."

Xiaocui looked at the things in her hands, and then looked at the street. Although she still wanted to go shopping, she thought she had to go to work tomorrow, so she had better rest early.

After returning to the room two days later, Xiaocui fell asleep quickly, but Yang Xuewu couldn't.

She quietly walked out of the room and came to the pond. She bought a few lanterns today, but she didn't have time to put them on.

Looking around, seeing no one, Yang Xuewu took out the lantern from the space.

"It would be even better if someone could accompany me to set off the lantern, but unfortunately there is no one." Yang Xuewu looked at the lantern in her hand with some regret.

"Xue Wu, this king will play it with you." A pleasant male voice rang in his ears, and Yang Xuewu raised his head.

"Fourth Master, you haven't slept yet." Yang Xuewu looked at the man in surprise.

"Can't sleep, come out for a walk." Gao Changgong said lightly.

"Let's put the lanterns on." Gao Changgong's eyes fell on the lanterns.

"Okay." Yang Xuewu nodded, and handed him a lamp.

Taking out the torch that had been prepared earlier, the two lit the lamp.

"Fourth Master, have you made your wish?" Yang Xuewu suddenly asked as she watched the lanterns drifting away.

"Is this important?" Gao Changgong raised his eyes, his tone still calm.

"The lotus lantern is also called the wishing lantern, and the lantern is also for fulfilling wishes."

"Then what did you promise?" Gao Changgong asked back.

"I..." Yang Xuewu bowed her head in embarrassment, she made a wish, it was about him.

"It's late at night, I should go." Gao Changgong stood up, ready to walk away.

"I should go back too, let's go together."

Yang Xuewu also stood up.

The two walked back together, and when they reached a fork in the road, Yang Xuewu stopped.

"Fourth Master, don't you have anything to say to me?" Yang Xuewu bit her lip and asked nervously.

"What to say to you?"

"About the pastry, what do you think of after eating it?"

"What should this king think of?"

"Forget it, I'm leaving." Yang Xuewu turned around disappointed.

"Xue Wu, thank you for your pastry, I like it very much." Gao Changgong said suddenly.

Yang Xuewu was startled, and when he looked again, Gao Changgong had already gone far away.

"He said he likes it, so I will continue to give it to him in the future, and one day he will think of me." Yang Xuewu's face was filled with joy, and she walked quickly to her room.
