Eldest Brother Looks Best
They saw Yu Fu wearing a pink, cloud-patterned brocade dress. The resplendent cloud-patterned brocade had been dyed pink, and its pink clouds were very eye-catching.
Her fine and soft hair had been styled into two small buns, with one on each side. There were all manners of gems in her hair, and little silver bells hung down on both sides.
With each step, the little silver bells quietly rang out. They made quite a pleasant sounding.
Because she was rather young, Aunt Li did not have anyone apply makeup on her. Just a touch of red was applied to the center of her forehead. This accentuated her snow-white skin and pink earrings.
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi looked at her in a daze.
“No wonder father wanted a daughter before we were born. It turns out that daughters really are much better looking than sons. Gu Xiang, don’t you think so?”
Gu Yi’s words praised Yu Fu, but this ended up offending all five of his older brothers and himself.
Gu Xiang did not want to admit it, but he could not help but nod.
This was because Yu Fu really was… too beautiful!
Yu Fu looked at their shocked expressions and lowered her head to look down at herself. She was also quite pleased.
Raising her head, she smiled at Aunt Li and the others and said: “This really is quite a beautiful look. Thank you, aunty. In the future, I will have sister Lian Zhu take care of my hair!”
As she happily said this, her head swayed a bit, and the two silver bells rang out beautifully. The cuteness was enough to melt their hearts.
“Young miss, these perfume pouches were sent by Lord Marquis and the four young sirs. Which one will you wear today?”
The dragon boat festival required that she wear a perfume pouch. This was something that Aunt Li had said yesterday, and Yu Fu remembered.
She, however, was in no rush to look at the perfume pouches. Instead, she went with Gu Xiang and Gu Yi to hang up the wormwood that the two had picked. Only after this did she turn to choose the perfume pouch.
“Did third brother also send a perfume pouch?”
Yu Fu hestitantly asked.
Who knew why, but Gu HanMo always had a cold expression. He was unlike his other brothers who frequently came to the Western Wing to play with her.
She always thought that Gu HanMo disliked her, thus she was a little reluctant to believe that he had also sent her a perfume pouch.
Lian Bi said: “That’s right. Young miss, look. This black one was sent by the third young sir.”
Black one?
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi looked at the platter. Sure enough, they saw a black perfume pouch with a qilin embroidered on it, and they could not help but burst out laughing.
“Third brother actually sent a black perfume pouch to Yu Fu. Hahaha, this really suits third brother’s personality. He has absolutely no understanding of girls!”
This sort of color and pattern made it immediately clear that it was for males. How could it be suited to use by a cute girl like Yu Fu?
Yu Fu was also unable to control the corners of her lips, but she did manage to stop herself from laughing.
“I am already very happy to have received a perfume pouch from third brother. At the very least, it shows that he doesn’t hate me, right?”
“Little Yu Fu, don’t think about it too much. This is just how third brother is. He stays aloof when it comes to all people. He also doesn’t like playing with others. Usually, he spends his time training with a sword or training with a sword. To say that he hates you would be wrongly blaming him.”
Gu Xiang hastily explained to Yu Fu to try and let her understand that nobody in this manor could possibly hate her.
Who could possibly be so blind?
Gu HanMo just never expressed it. In truth, he also treated Yu Fu the same way he treated his younger brothers.
Otherwise, the ice-cold him could not possibly have had someone send her a perfume pouch.
When Yu Fu heard this, she rejoiced and asked Lian Bi: “Then which one was sent by the general and which one was sent by eldest brother?”
Lian Bi pointed them out for her.
“The pink one embroidered with the five deadly venoms* was sent by Lord Marquis. The pale purple one embroidered with reed patterns was sent by the eldest young sir. Which one does young miss like?”
Yu Fu looked between the two and was unable to decide for a while.
She had been brought back by the general, and he was the one to give her status. He also allowed her to stay in such a nice place.
If she did not wear the one that he sent, he would definitely be heartbroken.
But the one sent by eldest brother…
Just as she was hesitating, Yao Lan walked up from behind her. It seemed as though she understood what Yu Fu was thinking and secretly smiled.
“Young miss, you are already wearing pink clothes. Wearing a pink perfume pouch would not look very good. It would be better to wear this purple one to match, don’t you think?”
Everyone heard this and thought it over carefully. They felt that Yao Lan’s words were a little reasonable.
Who knew that she would have such good taste at such a young age. It was no wonder Yu Fu valued her so much.
“Alright! Then I’ll wear this one!”
Yu Fu happily picked up the purple perfume pouch that had been sent by Gu ShuBai. Yao Lan carefully placed it on her hip. After it was put on, Yu Fu happily spun around.
“Does it look good? Does it look good?”
She rejoiced so much that it caused Gu Xiang and Gu Yi to feel suspicious.
“Little Yu Fu, you clearly just wanted to wear the one that eldest brother sent, right? I could tell. could it be that you like eldest brother most?”
“There’s no such thing!”
In the end, Yu Fu was a young girl. After hearing this, her complexion turned bright red and subconsciously refuted it.
Gu Yi kept a close eye on her mental state.
“Then why do you call us fifth bro and sixth bro but call him eldest brother?”
With just a few words, the difference in intimacy was instantly exposed.
Yu Fu puffed up her little cheeks, “Because eldest brother is a bit special. Others call eldest brother the heir and call you two young sirs. Why don’t you say anything about that?”
Despite her young age, she had all kinds of excuses.
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi exchanged a glance with the intention of teasing her.
“Then do tell, aside from this, what else is special about eldest brother? At the very least, three other things must be named.”
Aristocratic families needed to decide on an heir to inherit their position. Gu HuaiJiang was originally Eastern Ling’s head general. Because of his distinguished military career, he was conferred the title of marquis, and he became the Marquis General.
Given his status as the first son of the first wife, Gu ShuBai became the heir. It was what complied with the norms. This was not strange in the slightest.
“Eldest brother, h-he is oldest!”
Yu Fu felt that what she had said was truly a waste of words.
Gu Xiang, however, nodded and laughed, raising his thumb, “Good, that’s one. What else?”
Yu Fu thought for a bit longer, “He’s the tallest!”
Gu ShuBai was the oldest. This year, he turned 21 years old. It was natural that he would be taller than his younger brothers.
Gu Yi puffed out his chest with some dissatisfaction, “Wait until I turn 21. I will also be as tall as eldest brother! What’s your last one?”
She needed to come up with one more?
Yu Fu thought for a long time, and her face even turned red from thinking so hard. Everyone looked at her with expectation.
In the end, she loudly squeezed out, “Eldest brother looks the best!”
In an instant, everything went silent.
A quiet cough came from outside the door. Yu Fu turned around and saw Gu ShuBai’s tall and graceful body there. With a faint smile on his face, he stepped into the room.
Yu Fu’s face instantly turned red.
