After changing into several sets of clothes, the four finally selected outfits they felt good in.
To enhance their personal fragrance, the somewhat ostentatious Wei Zhe had even gone to the streets yesterday to buy incense, thoroughly perfuming all four of their robes.
Finally, in the afternoon, at the hour of Shen, the four fragrant young masters of the Wei family and their attendants stepped through the gates of the neighboring Lu residence.
Uncle Ding opened the door for them enthusiastically.
As the four dapper young gentlemen breezed past him, he was about to exclaim, "So fragrant," but before the word "fragrant" could escape his lips, he sneezed several times in a row.
Qing Yu looked back, concerned, "Uncle Ding, remember to wear more clothes, don't catch a cold."
Uncle Ding looked at the sky. It was the middle of summer, how could he wear more clothes?
His sneezing was actually triggered by the strong fragrance emanating from the young masters.
However, he naturally couldn't slight their esteemed guests, so he smiled gently, "Thank you, Eldest Young Master Wei, for your concern."
Next, Lu Tong and Lu Tie warmly led the four to the front hall for guests, and the two of them also sneezed non-stop along the way.
Once the four were seated in the reception hall, Qiu Dong and Dong Qiu immediately brought tea and politely offered it to them.
Having never been served by maids before, the group instantly stiffened their bodies, puffing out their chests and repeatedly saying, "Good."
Qiu Dong and Dong Qiu looked at them, holding back their laughter as they left.
A short while later, Lu Ye and Bai Sheng pushed the baby crib into the reception hall.
Qing Yu immediately had the others stand up and clasped his hands, saying, "Wei Qing Yu, along with my brother Wei Wei Han and attendants Wei Lin and Wei Zhe, pay our respects to Brother Lu and Sister-in-law."
Lu Ye was about to return the courtesy when he suddenly felt his nose itch and couldn't help but sneeze.
After sneezing, he helplessly glanced at his subordinates, thinking, "It's just a meal, why do they have to dress so elaborately?"
"These well-bred young gentlemen, they insist on acting like dandies, even learning to use all sorts of strange incense, nearly blowing out people's nostrils."
Bai Sheng actually also felt like sneezing, but the couple couldn't both sneeze when they first met their guests, as it would appear disrespectful. Therefore, she was determined to suppress the sneeze.
Having internally digested the urge to sneeze, Bai Sheng held her breath and smiled, "Eldest Young Master Wei, no need to be so formal. You are all close friends of my husband and our neighbors. Whenever you have time, come over for a meal."
"Yes, Sister-in-law, we will," Qing Yu thought, "I've never seen such a beautiful young woman!" He couldn't help but blush.
After removing the dark spots from her face, the sect leader's wife was even more beautiful than a fairy! No wonder the sect leader doted on his wife and was afraid of her. If it were him, he would also risk his life.
Alas, what was he thinking? *Slap, slap,* he slapped his own face!
On the way to the capital, Wei Han had already become somewhat familiar with Bai Sheng, and the two smiled and nodded at each other.
As for the two attendants from the Wei family, they immediately put their sweet-talking skills to use, praising Bai Sheng so much that she barely recognized herself.
These Wei family members were truly adorable and charming, and Bai Sheng smiled so much that she forgot to sneeze.
Lu Ye saw that these four temporary "dandies" had made his precious Bao smile continuously, and so far, he was quite pleased with them.
After meeting the hosts, the four from the Wei family rushed to the crib of the four little ones, each picking up a baby and doting on them.
As a result, the four babies started sneezing one after another. Even so, the four young masters of the Wei family hadn't realized how potent their fragrance was, and they refused to let go of the babies.
The third child, Jin Rui, became angry and, raising his little bird, he sprayed generously onto Wei Zhe's chest.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhe, who had been baptized by the infant's urine, not only wasn't angry but burst into laughter and praised, "Ah! Little Rui Rui, well done! Truly a man among men!"
Seeing this, Bai Sheng felt very embarrassed and immediately pulled Lu Ye back to their room, intending to find one of Lu Ye's clothes to change for Wei Zhe.
How could Wei Zhe dare to wear the sect leader's clothes? Moreover, he felt that the little baby's urine was cleaner than the tea he usually drank, and it would dry after a while, so it was no big deal.
But the sect leader's wife insisted, and the sect leader insisted on the sect leader's wife's insistence, so Wei Zhe naturally didn't dare to resist.
Seeing that he still couldn't escape this man who smelled so strongly that he kept sneezing, Jin Rui cried out, "Ah!" and his little hand slapped Wei Zhe's face with a *slap*.
At first, everyone thought that a gentle pat from a five-month-old infant's little paw would feel as comfortable as an itch.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhe burst into tears on the spot. Although no sound came out, tears glistened like luminous pearls, rolling down his eyes one by one.
Moreover, Wei Zhe's face actually had a small red handprint on it!
While shedding tears, he endured the immense pain and laughed, praising, "Ah, Little Rui Rui, you're too strong! With just a gentle pat from your little hand, Uncle Zhe's face is about to fall off."
Qing Yu glared at him, "You're so useless, getting cried on by a little baby."
Wei Zhe looked wronged but did not blame the third young master at all. He was just extremely astonished in his heart, how could the third young master possess such great strength?
That slap hurt several times more than being slapped in the face by a street thug when he was younger. Otherwise, how could such a strong man like him, so uselessly, shed tears?
He decided to let the first hall master personally experience this indescribable wonderful feeling.
"First Hall Master, please put down the second young master and help me hold the third young master. I need to change clothes shortly."
Qing Yu, of course, couldn't see Wei Zhe's dark little universe and did as he was told.
From being held by a smelly thing to being transferred to another smelly thing, the third young master naturally struggled and was unwilling to be held. Wei Zhe then smiled and said to Qing Yu, "First Hall Master, kiss the third young master, and he'll be willing to let you hold him."
Qing Yu held Rui Rui in his arms, puckered his lips, and prepared to kiss the third young master's little face. The strong, pungent smell grew closer and closer. The third young master Rui Rui, disgusted, leaned back, and his little hand went *slap*, hitting Qing Yu's face again.
Instantly, tears streamed from Qing Yu's eyes.
Was this... the slap of a little infant? This was clearly the slap of a strong, muscular two-meter tall man shouting "Ya—" as he swung.
Wei Zhe laughed heartily beside them.
The second child in the crib also giggled, "Agaga," clapping his little hands joyfully.
Wei Han and Wei Lin, holding the eldest and fourth child respectively, were both stunned into silence.
Their first hall master had actually been made to cry by Little Rui Rui!
At this moment, Bai Sheng and Lu Ye, who had come with clothes, saw Qing Yu shedding tears.
"What... what happened?" Bai Sheng immediately stepped forward and took the third child from Qing Yu's arms.
Once in his mother's arms, the third child hugged Bai Sheng's neck and whimpered, "Awu awu," affectionately.
The honest Wei Han said, "Brother Lu, Sister-in-law, Third Young Master made both my elder brother and Wei Zhe cry."
"Made them cry?!" Bai Sheng and Lu Ye exclaimed in unison, stunned.
Qing Yu and Wei Zhe both glared at Wei Han, feigning casualness, "Brother Lu, Sister-in-law, we're fine. It's just that Third Young Master's strength is truly immense. He must be a divinely gifted prodigy."
Bai Sheng and Lu Ye exchanged shocked glances. They had already noticed the extraordinary qualities of the eldest and fourth children. Could it be that the third young master Jin Rui was a Hercules?
However, now was not the time to verify this.
