When Osie was irritated, she yelled loudly, but after she finished yelling, she immediately woke up and her face turned red.
The words "I was engaged to you" are really not a suitable topic to talk about now. After all, a girl has been engaged to two men one after another, and the two men are still brothers... This is really not very honorable.
things.
Osie suddenly said the wrong thing, and she felt very regretful, so she just waited to accept the ridicule of this hateful Tulip Duke.
What would he say? Well, he must be very proud! He must say to himself, "Humph, you have no vision! It was you and your family who looked down on me in the first place! You didn't expect that I would soar to the sky now."
Bar!"
Yes, he should be proud, he does have the capital to be proud.
But Osie waited for a long time, but did not wait for Du Wei's ridicule. She looked at Du Wei intently, but found that this guy had a gentle smile on his face... His eyes were still so clear and sincere.
He looks very nice when he smiles, his eyes are slightly curved, and there is a smile at the corners of his eyes, making him very friendly.
"You seem to be very angry... This matter must have been causing you trouble." Du Wei's voice was gentler, even with a hint of apology.
"You..." Osie was speechless.
Du Wei smiled. Suddenly he pointed outside the fence. In the courtyard of the Imperial Garden, there was a bench and several swings: "If you are tired of standing, go over and sit."
As he said this, he naturally stretched out his hand and pulled Osie's arm. Osie was confused and was led by this boy's arm into the garden.
The royal garden of the palace really doesn't have much to look at. After all, thorn flowers are planted here, and thorn flowers are not really an ornamental plant.
But at this moment, the stars and the cold moon are shining down, and the atmosphere is quite peaceful.
After pulling Oxi to sit down, Du Wei looked at the girl and smiled: "I just learned from your friend that you hate me very much, even...hate me. Right?"
"Yes!" Osie puffed up her chest: "I hate you very much. I hate your family!"
"I fully understand." Du Wei sighed. Fortunately, Manny had already said a lot to him while dancing. Du Wei understood what kind of situation the girl in front of him was living in. It was indeed cruel for a young girl.
.
"I can apologize, although I think it's not my fault." Du Wei shrugged.
Osie was speechless...she was not an arrogant and unreasonable person. Intellectually, she knew that this had nothing to do with Duwei. But after all, she had been treated unfairly because of this incident, which made her naturally
I felt disgusted with Du Wei.
She was about to stand up and looked at Du Wei: "Is this what you want to tell me?"
"No." Du Wei shook his head, but reached out and pressed lightly on Osie's shoulder. He smiled and said, "I just want to talk to you. Ocilia... Well, can I call you Osie?"
?”
"No!" Osie snorted.
"Okay, Osie." Obviously, Du Wei's face was much thicker than she thought: "You know, my brother will be an adult in less than a year. By then, I plan to let you get married...
That is to say, we are going to be a family, so I don’t want our relationship to be so rigid. Do you understand?”
After a pause, Du Wei sighed and said in a sincere voice: "I love Gabri very much. He is my only brother. I hope that since we are a family, we should love each other and live in harmony."
Ossie was obviously confused about him. Was he trying to show her kindness? Was he expressing goodwill?
After Osie became sensible, every time she thought about her first meeting with the Tulip Duke, she would always imagine various scenarios in her mind. But there was usually only one scene: the other party ruthlessly mocking and humiliating her.
Who told his family to blindly regret the marriage?
Scenes like that have been playing in her mind so much that even though she has never met Du Wei, Miss Oxi has already deeply regarded Du Wei as an "enemy" in her heart. Therefore, from a psychological point of view, the only reason why she is in Du Wei's mind is
Wei acted like a hedgehog in front of him, but it was actually a subconscious act of self-protection in order to prevent the other party from being humiliated.
This kind of psychology is very subtle, but fortunately, Du Wei can completely understand it.
"We are not enemies. We will become relatives in the near future. My brother is one of my closest relatives. He is a smart boy. Our brother's relationship is quite good, so you will become his wife.
I hope there can be harmony within the family." Du Wei looked at the girl with a smile. He could see that the girl was actually very simple: "I think we can become friends."
Oxi didn't say anything, but Duwei said with a familiar smile: "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise."
"Your Majesty the Duke!" Osie still tried to keep a cold face.
"No, call me Du Wei, or call me brother." Du Wei smiled and said, "You are my family, so you can call me that."
Brother? I don’t want it!
But when Osie looked at the gentle and elegant young man in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken in her heart.
Brother... I think of the brothers in my family. Each one of them is a standard playboy. On weekdays, they even talk flirtatiously with their close friends. Even when facing my sister, they rarely have anything to say.
She looks serious. She even has several cousins who have coveted her beauty since childhood...
In comparison, the guy in front of me smiled very gently, and what he said just now sounded like he was an eldest brother.
He... doesn't seem to be as bad as imagined.
There is no doubt that Du Wei is very eloquent and very good at communicating with people, and even leading the conversation. At least a naive little girl like Osie, who has no ambitions, will definitely not be able to defeat Du Wei.
In short, Du Wei easily opened up the topic and stirred up the awkward atmosphere. Then he easily brought up one or two topics that young girls were interested in, and then led Oxi to speak.
At first, Osie tried her best to show her resistance, but soon her defense was broken by Du Wei without her realizing it. Her tone of voice became much more relaxed, and her words gradually changed from one or two words to one or two.
One sentence, three or five sentences, seven or eight sentences...
Even if I hate Du Wei...well. At least he is really funny and considerate.
"We are in the castle on Rollin Plains. There is a yard in the back. I made some very interesting things there. Oh, that's where the hot air balloon was invented. Do you like it? I have given that place to Gabri now.
, you can let him take you to play there in the future... Do you like to fly to the sky in a hot air balloon? Haha, there will be opportunities in the future. There are several large hot air balloons in the castle. And those fireworks..."
"You mean, the fireworks of the Yujin family?" Osie was tempted.
Teenage temperament, how many half-year-old children don’t like to set off fireworks?
Du Wei's eyes flashed with a smile of success: "Of course! Fireworks were first made in the castle, and there are still a group of craftsmen there. Many of the New Year's fireworks are shipped from Luolin Plain. Now
Gabri has taken over some family affairs...Ah, by the way, I remembered something."
Du Wei pretended to suddenly remember something: "I almost forgot. Well. This New Year, Gabri wrote me a letter and prepared a gift for me to pass on to you."
"A New Year's gift for me?" Osie suddenly felt a little proud!
My fiancé sent a gift from the far south during the New Year...
Is this considered romantic?
The young girl's heart was instantly filled with such fantasy and romantic thoughts.
Du Wei saw it and snickered in his heart: Sure enough, young girls always like these.
But Gabri... is indeed too careless. Logically speaking, since he will be an adult next year, he should prepare some gifts and send them to the imperial capital for his fiancée during such a festival.
It's a pity that he is not by his side, and he doesn't have any brothers around him who can ask him for such things. Because his father passed away, his mother has always been depressed, so she rarely thinks about these little things.
"It's...what gift?" When Osie said this, her voice was already a little eager.
Du Wei spread his hands: "Sorry, I forgot to bring it tonight, but I can send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow. Ah... By the way, are you interested in watching the martial arts competition? You can go to my box,
I'll have someone bring you the gift."
A tourney?
Osie was immediately moved.
How could she not be moved by this great excitement that swept the entire imperial capital? Although martial arts competitions are something that men like, but for noble ladies, this competition is not too cruel and bloody, but it is lively enough, and there are many young people.
The handsome samurai participating in the competition...there is still a lot to watch.
But Osie has always been a little upset in her heart. Because...it's also Duwei's fault! The tickets for the game are too expensive!
Of course, this is relative to the actions of the nobles on the second and third floors.
A box on the third floor costs several thousand gold coins! Although her grandfather was the finance minister of the empire, he was a very honest official, and the family's property was not too large. This was all to avoid gossip, so life
Although it's good, it's not extravagant. For a young lady like her, her monthly expenses are only a few dozen gold coins.
Not to mention spending thousands of gold coins to watch a competition.
Not to mention the VIP box on the third floor, even the seats on the second floor are not something Osie can afford. As for the brothers in the family... they spend their days drinking and drinking, and there is no spare money in their hands. Grandfather and father are in charge.
The land is strict, and it is even more impossible to allow them to spend money randomly.
It was a weekday. The other little sisters talked about this competition, especially the Marquis's daughter. The family had reserved a private room on the third floor. Although the location was very remote, it had become her capital to show off.
Du Wei was so cunning. He immediately saw the girl's thoughts from the change of expression on her face and said with a smile: "Well, let's play tomorrow afternoon. I will send someone to pick you up. You can watch it in my box."
game, and... I will play tomorrow."
Humph, it would be best if you were flattened into a pig's head.
Oxi thought maliciously in her heart, but looking at Du Wei's gentle smile, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, Du Wei finally stood up...
Bang!
There was a loud noise in the sky!
Immediately, I saw a gorgeous firework blooming suddenly, and then countless fireworks soared into the sky. Suddenly, the dark night sky was painted into a strange and bizarre scene.
"New Year's fireworks..." Du Wei laughed: "Is it already past midnight?"
But Osie raised her head, stretched her neck hard, and stared blankly.
"Okay, let's go back. It's very cold here. If you catch a cold, you won't be able to go out tomorrow." Du Wei said, and was about to take Osie back.
Osie seemed to have put down her hostility towards Duwei, but after taking two steps, she suddenly heard a snort. Osie suddenly exclaimed and jumped up with a sad face: "My skirt!"
I saw the rose-colored evening dress, the skirt was caught by the thorns on the roadside, and the hard thorns pulled out a long hole in the skirt. Osie's face was extremely annoyed, and she was even more confused: "My skirt...
…Oops, what should I do?”
Du Wei smiled and looked at the girl's torn skirt, exposing her calves and knees. Du Wei smiled and took out a long cloak from his ring storage pocket.
Seeing Du Wei conjuring a cloak out of thin air with a flick of his wrist, Osie was a little surprised.
"It's a little inconvenient to put it on if the skirt is torn." Du Wei said with a smile.
But Osie still looked helpless: "But the skirt is broken, I..."
"It's just a skirt." Du Wei curled his lips.
"This is not my dress." Osie suddenly hesitated, glanced at Du Wei a few times, and then whispered: "I borrowed this dress from my cousin... This is my first time attending a palace banquet. I don't have it.
A suitable evening dress...I. I have very little pocket money on weekdays. My cousin liked this dress very much, and I spent a lot of money to borrow it. Now it's broken..."
After saying that, she spoke out her request: "Your Majesty the Duke..."
"Call me Du Wei, or brother." Du Wei smiled.
Ossie hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth: "Duwei, can you help me..."
"Okay, I'll give you a new one." Du Wei smiled nonchalantly.
"No, I don't want you to give me a dress." Ossie shook her head, wondering: "You...did you just cast magic? Then can you use magic to change this skirt back to its original appearance..."
Du Wei smiled, and the way he smiled made Osie a little angry. He lowered his head and said, "If it doesn't work, forget it..."
"No, lovely Osie, my future sister-in-law, I need to correct your common sense. Remember: the cost of letting a magician perform magic is far more expensive than a dress! Do you understand?
?" As he said that, Du Wei suddenly squatted down in front of Osie and stretched out his hand to pull the hem of Osie's skirt.
"Ah! What are you doing!" Osie was frightened and jumped up.
"Don't move." Du Wei ignored her and directly grabbed a piece of the other party's skirt and turned it over to see where the stitches were. Then he found a small piece of cloth with several lines of text densely tattooed on it.
.
"Okay." Du Wei let go of his hand and stood up: "This is an evening dress from last year. It is red and medium size. I just wrote down her style and size. Don't worry, I will send it to you early tomorrow morning.
I’m giving you an identical red skirt.”
"You..." Osie was stunned. She couldn't help but look at the corner of her skirt. She didn't even know what the strange characters on the piece of cloth inside the skirt meant, but it seemed that Du Wei
But I do know: What is the color and style number?
Could it be...
Seeing Osie staring at him, Du Wei admitted and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, smart little sister. You guessed right, this skirt was made in our family's industry. But your cousin obviously
The taste is very average... This is just a style from last year, a new model for the New Year, and it seems that she doesn't have it yet. The piece of fabric above is something our tailors specially sewed on when it was produced. This is our specialty. "
When Osie and Duwei returned to the banquet hall together, Manny and several other girls immediately noticed that Osie and Duwei were walking together, and Osie was still wearing a cloak.
"Oh my God, Osie, where have you been?" Manny ran over in a big stride, followed by several other girls. It was obvious that these people were coming towards Duwei.
Osie opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
"Haha, ladies." Du Wei smiled gracefully: "I just went to discuss some family matters with my brother's fiancée, oh, including the future wedding arrangements between Osie and my brother. Just some family matters."
Then he suddenly blinked at Osie: "Osie, don't forget, there is a game tomorrow afternoon. I will send someone to pick you up... Oh, by the way, the box is big anyway, and you guys
If my friends are willing to go, they can all sit down."
Box??
That box where the tournament was held?
Who doesn’t know what the boxes on the third floor in the tournament mean? Anyone who can go up to the third floor belongs to the most prominent and noble circle in the empire! Moreover, Du Wei’s box is very close to each other.
The one next to the royal box! It’s the one with the best location!
"Oh, Ossie, can we go together?" Manny was the first to beg.
Oxi's expression was a little complicated. She glanced at Du Wei, hesitated, and then whispered: "Oh, yes, of course..."
The girls burst out screaming. Then Duwei winked at Osie, smiled, nodded and left.
"Oh my God! He is so charming!" Manny and a group of other girls looked at Du Wei's back. Then someone immediately turned to Osie and smiled: "Osie! He is your big brother! You must help.
Help us!"
"But he is already married. His wife is a magician!" Osie was still a little dissatisfied with these people's nymphomaniac attitude towards Du Wei.
"Who cares!" A noble girl looked at Du Wei in the distance: "It's not bad to be a lover, he is the most popular person in the empire now!"
Oxi also looked at Du Wei in the distance with a complicated expression... It felt really good to be surrounded by these girls. She had rarely enjoyed this feeling of being surrounded by stars and stars! Although all this
It's because of that Du Wei.
but……
He is indeed a good person and a good brother.
"Have you resolved your family conflict?" Prince Chen, who was sitting on the throne as Du Wei came back, curled his lips and said, "You have been gone for half an hour."
"I attach great importance to family harmony." Du Wei raised a smile, then picked up a wine glass and gestured to Prince Chen in the distance. The regent and Prince Chen responded by picking up the wine glasses, and they took a sip. Du Wei suddenly looked at
Prince Chuchen smiled and said: "Your Highness, do you even know about my family conflicts? I really can't think of anything in this world that you don't know."
Only Du Wei dared to say such words in front of Prince Chen. Prince Chen didn't take it seriously: "You know, as a monarch, there are too many things to control. Sometimes, I have no choice.
"
"Then I wish His Highness the good health." Du Wei smiled and drank the wine in the glass.
The young men who currently hold the most power in the two empires looked at each other and smiled.
The next day, the day after the New Year, the martial arts competition finally continued, but in order to take care of the New Year's carnival the previous night, the competition on this day was arranged to start in the afternoon.
On this day, the second round of preliminaries was held.
In the second round of preliminaries, nearly 400 players were still drawn by lot, but this time they were in groups of four. The rules were the same as in the first round. Only one winner from each group could advance.
Immediately after the draw was over, a helpless sigh broke out.
The three warriors who were in the same group as Du Wei showed expressions of grief, anger and helplessness...
For Osie, this day is almost wonderful! It is completely different from her previous life. It can even be said to have opened a new page!
In the morning, the Tulip family sent someone to deliver a big gift to Miss Osie.
This is an expensive wooden box, and inside is a fist-sized South Sea pearl. The price of this treasure on the market is at least 50,000 gold coins!
Of course, this was sent by Du Wei in the name of Gabri.
Along with this gift came a brand new red evening dress, the same as the one Miss Osie wore last night. In addition, there were several pieces of this year's latest women's evening wear and winter wear from the Tulip Workshop, and a
A very heroic leather hunting suit for women.
"My lord said that he might invite Miss Osie to go hunting with her in a few days. I remembered that Miss Osie might not have any new hunting clothes, so I sent these."
This was delivered to me personally by little Sandy, who was very articulate.
Although the finance minister lived a simple life in order to avoid talking about things, he accepted it as it was just a gift from his future in-laws.
And then, Osie immediately became the focus of a group of little sisters in the family. Obviously, teenage girls enjoy this feeling very much, and this is human nature.
In the afternoon, the surprise became even bigger.
Duwei sent a carriage to pick up Miss Osie and her friends to watch the game. And this carriage was the Duke Tulip's own car!!
Duweidi's carriage was famous among the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital for being gorgeous and extravagant, and extremely fashionable!
Every piece of wood is made of the best quality. Even the horses that pull the cart are the finest horses obtained from the grasslands! I am afraid that only officers at the level of general would be able to send such good horses to the army.
It is qualified to be used as a mount. But here in Du Wei... it is only used to pull a cart!
The spacious carriage is more than twice the size of an ordinary noble carriage, and the activation of the magic circle under the wheels makes the carriage drive briskly and without any bumps.
The gorgeous and almost luxurious furnishings in the carriage also stunned everyone.
This extravagant Duwei actually used magic gems as lighting in the carriage!
And the velvet cushion underneath... Osie remembered that her cousin had such a piece at home. It was used to make bed quilts, and it was not taken out easily on weekdays. It was only used on important holidays.
But here in Du Wei, it is used to put it in the carriage and spread it on the ground...
Several knights from the Tulip family rode war horses to guard the carriage.
Osie was a little uneasy...she felt that she shouldn't accept too much of Duwei's kindness.
But Sandy, the little housekeeper, said to her: "My lord, you are welcome. After all, you are the wife of the second young master. It can be said that you are also the future half-mistress of the family. You are entitled to enjoy everything in the family.
"
Although she was still a little uneasy, the envious looks from the other girls next to her still made Osie feel a little elated.
And after arriving at the venue...
The carriage of the Tulip family walked in front, and even soldiers from the public security station drove along the road, opening a path through the crowded crowd to let them in. They then entered the third floor directly from the VIP passage behind the Knights Association.
And when walking past the Tulip Family box, a group of girls stared at the boxes around them with their mouths open...
God!
Right next door, the lord of the empire, the Prince Regent, and the young prince Charlie were sitting in a box together! On the right was the box of the Prime Minister's family, but the Prime Minister did not come, instead Camisillo and his wife came. Behind them
It's the Villa family, each and every prominent family...these are the big guys who really have the power of the empire!!
When they saw little Zach, the business manager of the famous Tulip family in the imperial capital, opened the door of the box with his own hands and respectfully greeted several ladies in with an elegant gesture, the group of girls felt a little embarrassed.
Because although little Zach is not a noble, in fact, everyone knows that he is one of the top five core figures in the Tulip family! In the imperial capital, little Zach's status is even much higher than that of many nobles! Many real big shots
, are always polite when facing him.
But in this box, little Zach was on the side, as gentle as a butler: "Dear ladies, if you have any needs here, please tell me."
Order?
How many people in the imperial capital dare to "order" little Zach to do things?
As little Zach walked out of the box door, Manny beside him suddenly shook Ossie, who was already a little distracted.
"Ossie! Ossie!" Manny looked excited: "We are actually sitting here! Do you believe it? I feel like I am in a dream! Oh my God! The Duke is so kind to you!! You will marry me in the future
After joining the Luo Lin family, you can officially become a member here!"
"Yes! The Duke treats his family well... Oh, Osie, it would have been better if you had continued to marry the Duke."
I don’t know who said this suddenly.
Osie's expression suddenly changed...
Manny noticed the change in her friend's expression and was about to persuade her when she heard a burst of noise and cheers below.
"Look! The Duke has appeared!!"
Du Wei was the first to step onto the ring with his head held high.
He is very confident in today's game, and... he hopes to use today's game to wash away the shame of the farce-like preliminaries! Let everyone see his strength instead of being treated as a joke!
After all, Du Wei still has a temper. He has been practicing martial arts hard these days. At this moment, his mind is like a child who got an interesting toy. He always wants to show it off to others. But the preliminaries a few days ago were really...
It made him so angry that he vomited blood!
However, it will definitely not happen today!
Because today Du Wei's opponents in this group, his three opponents, are all Holy Knights!!
The holy knight of the temple would definitely fight with me! Humph!
Today, let me, Du Wei, show off my martial arts skills!!
