Chapter four hundred and eighty fourth woman(1/2)
Everyone could enter the main hall of Kuai Mansion. Kuai Liang did not dare to be arrogant, and Liu Mang did not need to avoid suspicion. Therefore, the main seat of Kuai Mansion was Liu Mang sitting on the top, and below was Kuai Liang's brother Jia Xu sitting on the other side.
"Your Highness, did you not meet Mrs. Cai?" This time, Kuai Yue came back with his younger brother, in addition to discussing his son's marriage with Liu Mang, another thing was to discuss the matter that Liu Mang had not seen Mrs. Cai in the past few days.
"Yes!" Liu Mang nodded. These three days have been consumed in vain. If you don't have any ideas in another two days, Liu Mang will be really hungry.
"Have Your Highness the King of Shu handed out the recommendation letter we were waiting for?!" Kuai Yue continued to ask.
"Give it!" Jia Xu next to him said, "We sent the recommendation letters given by the two gentlemen, but the reply I received was that the wife was not in the mansion, so let us come again in a few days!" If Mrs. Cai was not in the mansion, how could Liu Mang go?
"Someone is interfering in it!" As soon as the old fox Kuai Yue heard this, he knew that someone must have intervened. Otherwise, it would be impossible. Let alone Mrs. Cai, I'm afraid even the leader of Jingzhou Liu Biao can see it. Mrs. Cai even has an alliance with the Kuai family, and will give face in terms of emotion and reason.
"Is it Cai Mao, Cai Degui?!" Kuai Liang looked at his brother in confusion and asked. The only one who could interfere with him and let Mrs. Cai listen to his lack of guests was Cai Mao, the brother. After that day, Cai Mao left with a slight face. He didn't tell him this ally about such a big thing about the Kuai family. Can Cai Mao be happy? Moreover, the Kuai family also joined Yangzhou, which made Cai Mao unhappy. Kuai Liang looked at his brother because Kuai Yue knew Cai Mao better than Kuai Liang.
Who knew that Kuai Yue shook his head, "It's not Brother Degui!" Although Cai Mao left angrily that day, Kuai Yue still chased after him. The relationship between the two was quite good. Kuai Yue immediately explained like Cai Mao. Although Cai Mao could not forgive, he would not interfere. At most, he would not help each other, and he was not as good as a breakup.
Although Liu Mang made him unhappy for Cai Mao, the power of the Pang family also made him afraid, and he was even more afraid. After all, Liu Mang was just a cross-river dragon and would leave sooner or later, while the Pang family and Lumen Academy are different.
"Who is that again?!" Everyone frowned. After thinking for a while, they all thought of the same person, that is Liu Mang's current enemy Pang Tong.
But what can a mere Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan have to let the wife of Yizhou obey the orders! He didn't even sell his face to the Kuai family.
"No need to think too much, tomorrow will be clear!" Liu Mang waved his hand, and they will be in the mansion of Mrs. Cai tomorrow. Who is the one who is doing it is clear at a glance!
"His Royal Highness of Shu has a way?" Kuai Yue looked at Liu Mang and asked.
"Natural?" Liu Mang did not reveal how he saw Mrs. Cai, but showed a kind of confidence.
"If Your Highness of Shu King has any request, just send someone to speak out!" It is impossible for Kuai Yue to be neutral. Now the entire Jingzhou knows that the Kuai family is going to marry Yangzhou, and the Kuai family is tied to the chariot in Yangzhou. Even the lord Liu Biao heard about this and deliberately called Kuai Yue over and asked. Kuai Yue did not directly say good things to Liu Mang. Although his Kuai family is Liu Biao's right-hand man, he can't speak alone. When all Liu Mang's preparations are done, they can work together.
"Thank you, Mr. Yidu!" Liu Mang nodded as well. It was already good to be able to make the old fox Kuai Yue do this level.
...
The next day, just as dawn, Liu Mang pulled Jia Xu, the old fox. They had something to do today. Everything was ready, so they got on the carriage and headed towards Jingshan. Even breakfast was solved in the carriage.
"Lord, is it really good to dress like this?!" Jia Xu looked at Liu Mang in embarrassment as he looked at the clothes in his hand.
"Why don't you want to wear it?" Liu Mang also took out one set, with only three sets in total, one of which is his, one of which is Jia Xu and the other is Jia Xu's subordinate.
"It's not that I don't want to! It's just this, this!" Jia Xu looked at the clothes in his hand. This was no longer the clothes of the Han people. There was a hat and a chain on it, but the hat was not the clothes of the Han people, but a round hat.
"Don't let this and that, do you want little pills? You don't want to wear these clothes. When you pretended to be the descendants of Taiwei Duan, why didn't you feel embarrassed?" The clothes Liu Mang took out were really not worn by Han people. Even the ethnic minorities around the Han Dynasty were rarely worn. This was basically a strange costume, such as the costumes of people from the Arabs in the Western Regions.
"I wear it, I wear it!" Jia Xu was really trying to do it for the little pill.
"Don't forget this little beard!" Liu Mang handed Jia Xu another beard and just put it on his mouth. Liu Mang walked around and it was very good. A fresh foreign merchant from the Western Regions who went to Dahan to travel to the Great Han Dynasty appeared.
"I've put on my clothes, it's hard to do it!"
"Is it just selling these things?" Liu Mang took out several bottled items from another package.
"It's another day!" The sun quickly rose from the east. In a mansion at the foot of Jingshan Mountain, a beautiful man slowly stood up under the sunlight.
Although this mansion leaning against Jingshan is not big, there are many things inside, and there are many strange flowers and plants. This is not the key. The key is that a place here can really enjoy it and forget itself by the mountains and rivers.
The beauty slowly stood up. This was her mansion. She was the hostess of Jingzhou. She came to this mansion for enjoyment. Every month she came here, she would feel an ethereal feeling, which made her truly relax. In the past, this sunlight made her very comfortable, but today she no longer felt this feeling.
Because this trip changed its original meaning because of some people, it became boring and boring.
She came here every month to leave Xiangyang, which represents the power center of the entire Jingzhou, but now she has become intrigue again, so she doesn't like this kind of sunshine anymore. She just hopes that time will end quickly and let her leave.
The beauty sat up and walked to the dressing table. A beautiful figure appeared in the smooth bronze mirror. Even though she had just woken up, she still had a kind of elegant and luxurious beauty.
She stroked her face gently, but no one appreciated her stunning face. Who doesn't miss spring? Who doesn't think of a prince charming? But her identity is destined to have such an opportunity in her life. In her political marriage, she married a man who would be a few years older than her father, even if this man was the master of Jingzhou, a member of the princes in the world, and a royal family member of the Han Dynasty.
But I couldn't resist the fact that this man was old, and his youth had passed away and had fallen before he was in bud.
The only one who can appreciate yourself is yourself!
The beauty stood in front of the bronze mirror. She dressed up, and she changed several sets of clothes and could only show her. She was still so beautiful.
"Hmm?!" Suddenly, the beauty frowned. She had found the flaw in that beauty. At the corner of her eyes, a big crow's feet stood there, as if mocking her. You are old, you are no longer in your 28th year, no longer the cardamom girl.
The beauty wanted to use the rouge powder on the table to cover the crow's feet, but the rouge powder was applied over and over again, and the crow's feet did not change at all. Even because of the beauty's anger, other flaws began to reveal their skin. Her face was no longer broken, but became dry and withered.
"Ahhhh!" The beauty couldn't stand it anymore, so she swept the rouge and water on the dressing table and knocked it all over the ground.
"Madam, Madam! So what's wrong!" Hearing the movement in the inner room, the maid outside was about to go in and see what was going on, but was stopped by the beauty.
The beauty tried her best to calm her mind. "It's nothing, but the rouge and water powder fell! There is no need to come in!"
After a long time, the beauty redecorated and walked out of the room and came to the hall.
There was a person standing there in the hall, who would be Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan?
"Madam, early!" Pang Tong saw Mrs. Cai's arrival and saluted him. Pang Tong got up quite early every day.
"Yeah!" Mrs. Cai nodded and turned her polite, then sat next to the table, and soon a servant brought the breakfast food.
"Sir, do you want to come some?" Mrs. Cai greeted Pang Tong.
"No need, madam! Tong has already eaten!" Pang Tong retreated, and Madam Cai did not force her to eat breakfast alone.
"Madam, I don't know when will my wife return to the city!" Pang Tong waited for Mrs. Cai to finish her meal and asked Mrs. Cai.
"Tomorrow, I have already cleaned up with my servant today!" Mrs. Cai replied. "What's wrong? Sir!"
"Nothing!" Pang Tong waved his hand. He wanted Mrs. Cai to leave here early. As long as Mrs. Cai returns to Xiangyang, the fake king Liu Mang will have no choice but to do anything, but Pang Tong cannot say so clearly, because he would be very favorable to Mrs. Cai without seeing Liu Mang.
Could Mrs. Cai see that Pang Tong is anxious? She sees it, but it is impossible for her to change too much because of Pang Tong alone. If she went back early, Liu Biao asked what to say, saying that it was because Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan said that she wanted to support her youngest son Liu Zong, so Mrs. Cai would listen to him and go back early?
"Madam, do you still have to continue the game yesterday?!" Pang Tong asked with a smile.
"Sir, please continue!" Mrs. Cai nodded and reached the point. The ancients did not have much entertainment, and this chess game was one of them.
Pang Tong nodded, and he went to the courtyard to prepare to set up chess pieces.
"Xiao Cui, I don't have much rouge and water powder anymore. Go to the city to help me purchase it!" Mrs. Cai thought of something and said to her maid.
"I understand, Miss!" Xiao Cui nodded. The rouge powder I bought the day before yesterday is gone now. It can be used for the first half of the month. In the morning, Mrs. Cai's sudden temper broke all the rouge powder, so she needed to go shopping.
Under the service of another maid, Mrs. Cai went to play chess with Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. The matter of buying rouge and water naturally fell on Xiao Cui. It was not that she could not let the servants go, but that only he knew the rouge and water that the wife wanted to use.
Jingshan is still a distance from Xiangyang City. So you need to prepare a carriage to go.
...
"Here you come!" Liu Mang and the others saw a carriage outside Mrs. Cai's mansion and were about to leave. The person who boarded the carriage was a figure who looked like a maid. The woman naturally left because she bought rouge and powder.
"Jia Xu, come and shout!" Liu Mang said to Jia Xu next to him.
"Lord, don't!" Jia Xu was very embarrassed.
"What a pretentious thing! Hurry!" Liu Mang directly put his kick on Jia Xu's body.
The old fox then shouted reluctantly, "The best Western Region Rouge, the best Western Region Gouge, don't miss it when you pass by, there is no other family in this family." Only a top strategist like Jia Xu stood by the roadside and sang and shouted with him. Only a strange lord Liu Mang was the only one who made him stand by the roadside and sang and shout.
"Hmm?!" Xiao Cui frowned a little while sitting in the carriage. Although she had become accustomed to it, her wife would knock the dressing table over when she woke up in the morning, so she had to buy rouge and water powder again. However, every time she went from Jingshan to Xiangyang, it was uncomfortable. It was all the earth and rocky roads. Although Liu Biao sent someone to level it, it could only change a little. The bumps back and forth were still very uncomfortable.
Although Xiao Cui is a maid who is with Mrs. Cai, she is just a servant. She can't make a luxurious carriage with many cotton pads and downs on it. She can only make such an ordinary frame. Only Xiao Cui knows how she feels.
In the morning, Xiao Cui was ready to rush again. However, she heard the strange sound of the groom, and the carriage slowed down.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Cui asked.
"Miss Cui, there are people selling things on the official road ahead! Blocking the official road!" The carriage reported to Xiao Cui, and Xiao Cui's status in the mansion is not low.
"Someone sells things?" Xiao Cui frowned. It was close to Jingshan. If you want to sell things, you can also get it to sell in Xiangyang.
"You can also sell rouge and water powder! How many girls are there in such an official position!" the groom said with a smile.
"Rouge Water Powder?" Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment. She was not just selling rouge Water Powder, but then she became alert. This was a coincidence. Someone would sell whatever she wanted to buy.
"Go directly!" Xiao Cui said to the groom. This was really a coincidence. Xiao Cui was alert and prepared to let the groom go directly and ignore it.
"Yes, Miss Cui!" The groom nodded, raised the whip and was about to speed up and let the carriage leave directly.
"You want to leave?" Liu Mang also frowned. They were too abrupt. There was no market here and there were not many people. How could there be a business selling rouge and water powder? People who see it will naturally look alert.
"The voice is louder!" Liu Mang raised his foot to Jia Xu again. Now the words he taught Jia Xu can be useful.
"You are absolutely worth the money after using my rouge powder. You will be worth it. At the age of eighty, to the age of sixty, to the age of sixty, to the age of eighteen! The skin is so tender and youthful!"
"Stop!" Xiao Cui's voice sounded again in the carriage.
"Miss Cui?!"
Xiao Cui was attracted by Jia Xu's shout. Eighty-year-old turned into sixty, sixty-year-old turned into thirty? Thirty-year-old turned into eighteen? Not this is rouge powder? Isn't this a magic medicine? I'll rejuvenate the pill.
Which woman doesn’t like beauty? Xiao Cui grew up with Mrs. Cai and also serves Mrs. Cai. So Mrs. Cai is close to thirty years old, so she is so. Naturally, she has her own pickiness about her appearance. Who doesn’t want to be more beautiful? Even if she is just a maid.
Thirty turns into eighteen! This completely attracted Xiao Cui. Mrs. Cai, Mrs. Cai, always wanted to marry her. Although Xiao Cui was a dowry maid, Liu Biao did not do it. That was because he didn't have the energy, so Xiao Cui was still in a perfect state. However, time always leaves traces on people's faces. Mrs. Cai, such a beauty, would have wrinkles, let alone a maid like her.
Because of his age, Mrs. Cai was not good at finding someone else. If the better young men and brothers would despise Xiao Cui for being unwilling to be old. If it was a little worse, Mrs. Cai would not want those old men. He didn't want his tragedy to happen to Xiao Cui again, so he was delayed.
Now Xiao Cui was moved when she heard about this thirty-turning change to eighteen.
"Miss Cui, is there any fraud?" the groom said vigilantly.
"This is outside Xiangyang!" Xiao Cui replied. This place is on the edge of Jingshan and on the edge of Xiangyang. Not to mention the guards on Mrs. Cai's mansion in Jingshan, even the large troops from Xiangyang came here very quickly. They were not afraid of cheating Xiao Cui. It would be better to take a look.
A woman’s curiosity is very strong.
"Have a chance!" Liu Mang looked at a figure walking down the carriage, and the information he got from Jia Xu, Liu Mang knew that the woman should be Xiao Cui, the maid next to Mrs. Cai.
