Lingyun Pavilion purchased another mansion in Shouchun City.

The steward had the place converted into a workshop specializing in the production of women's products.

It is said to be a workshop, and the scale is not much different from that of a factory.

More than 300 newly recruited women entered the house.

The foreman in charge of the workshop divided them into several groups and taught them what they were going to do in the future, as Cao Shuo had previously instructed.

The women find it strange to learn what they are going to do.

Either the materials that reach them have already been processed, or the raw materials are halfway processed and sent somewhere else.

They were puzzled, but they didn't ask much, just seriously learned the skills that could earn more money for the family.

At this time, Cao Shuo was sitting in Xiao Qiao's room.

Big Qiao and Little Qiao put their heads together, looking intently at the liquid in the clay pot in front of them, as if they were studying something.

"Husband, it didn't work out again." After a while, the sisters raised their heads and looked at Cao Shuo, and said in disappointment: "This is more than the thirtieth time. ”

"I don't know the recipe for the toilet water." Cao Shuo pursed his lips and said to the sisters: "We can only grope little by little. ”

"I don't understand, where did my husband come up with these wonderful ideas?" Da Qiao said: "Look at the list that my husband gave us, eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, toilet water, body lotion, lipstick, ......"

"These are all things that women use." Cao Shuo said: "If it is developed, we will only make women's money in the future, and we will make non-stop." ”

"But these things are too hard." Xiao Qiao said with some annoyance: "Husband can only name one or two of the ingredients, and we have to slowly explore the rest, and if we really find out, I don't know when." ”

"The things I'm talking about must be something that can be made." Cao Shuo said: "When lipsticks and other things are developed, those yellows and blushes can leave the woman's dressing table." ”

"Husband-kun has been to Izumo before, I wonder if these things were brought back from Izumo?" Big Joe asked.

"Izumo is just a small island, we don't have it in the Central Plains yet, how can they have it." Cao Shuo grinned: "I just had a whimsical idea, among the ladies of the back house, you two know how to dress up best, so these things still have to be developed by the two of you." ”

Xiao Qiao pursed his lips: "The other ladies are busy outside all day long, but our sisters can't leave the house even half a step." I don't know what year or month all these things listed by my husband will be developed. ”

"When you really make one or two of them, you'll like it slowly." Cao Shuo smiled: "They can really make women more delicate." ”

Big Joe and Little Joe both pouted.

According to Cao Shuo, these things were all imaginary by him.

Unlike Cao Shuo, who has the same cognition as 2,000 years later, of course they will not easily believe these things that they have never seen before.

Cao Shuo, who returned to Shouchun, pondered all day long about how to make money from women.

At this time in Yecheng, Cao Cao was very annoyed,

Xiliang Ma Chao united with Han Sui Xingbing and declared a crusade against the Cao family.

Cao Cao was furious and put Ma Teng in prison.

In Yecheng Prison, the unkempt Ma Teng sat on the haystack.

He stared vacantly at the wall.

He had been in this position for a long time, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.

There was a sound of footsteps in the hallway of the cell.

Someone came to Ma Teng's cell.

"General Ma." A familiar voice called him softly.

Ma Teng did not look back, nor did he pay attention to the man outside the cell.

"General Ma, please, turn around." It was Xun You who came to the outside of the cell, and seeing that Ma Teng did not react, he called again.

"When Duke Xun came to see me, could it be that he was deliberately ashamed?" Ma Teng still didn't look back, and said leisurely: "My son Meng Qi raised troops to fight against Cao Gong, and I am also to blame for being locked up here......

"General Ma has made countless feats for the Han family, how can his reputation be lost in prison?" Xun You said: "I came here to rescue General Ma. ”

"Help me?" Ma Teng finally turned around and asked Xun You in surprise, "I don't know how Xun Gong plans to save me?" ”

"Ma Meng raised an army to rebel, and Cao Gong swore to kill General Ma." Xun You said: "Even if someone in the Cao family wants to intercede for the general, they will definitely not dare to do it at this time. ”

"Duke Xun has said so, what else can I hope for?" Ma Teng smiled bitterly and said, "There is only one road in front of me, which is just shown to the public by Cao Gongxiao." ”

"Cao Gong hates the general to the bone, is it so simple to be the head of the sword?" Xun You said: "If the general must die, I think it is either Ling Chi or the corpse of the five horses." ”

"Xun Gong said that he was here to save me, but in the end, it wasn't for ridicule?" Ma Teng said: "I know that Xun Gong has followed Cao Gong for many years, and it is absolutely impossible to do anything unfavorable to Cao Gong. ”

"The general is right." Xun You said: "I really won't do anything unfavorable to Cao Gong, but the general is dead, and the disadvantage to Cao Gong is even deeper, so no matter what, I have to try to rescue the general out." ”

"Speaking of which, Xun Gong still didn't tell me how to rescue him." Ma Teng asked, "Could it be that you and I can get me out by talking here?" ”

"I'm here to ask the general to write a letter." Xun You said: "No one in Yecheng can save the general, but there are other places. ”

Ma Teng is not a stupid person, Xun You said these words, and he immediately understood that the only one who could save him was Cao Shuo.

"Cao Zirong?" Ma Teng's eyes lit up first, and then dimmed again, and he said unconvincedly: "No matter what he says, he is also the son of the Cao family, and he will be biased towards Cao Gong no matter what." I didn't have much friendship with him, so I asked him to come to the rescue, but I was afraid that he wouldn't ......."

"As long as General Ma writes a letter to the eldest son, I will mediate between it." Xun You replied.

"Where is there ink in prison?" Looking around, Ma Teng shook his head helplessly.

"Since I asked the general to write a letter for help, of course I will be prepared." Xun You glanced at the entourage behind him.

The attendant put his hand into his arms, took out the pen and ink he used to write, and presented his hands to Ma Teng, who was sitting in the cell.

People are about to die, and they have an extremely strong desire to survive.

The pen and ink were handed over, and Ma Teng hurriedly got up and took it.

looked at Xun Yu with some doubts, but he didn't start writing immediately.

Seeing that he didn't write for a long time, Xun You urged: "Please also ask General Ma to hurry up, I can't stay here for too long, otherwise I'm afraid that something will happen." ”

There was no choice, although he didn't believe in Xun Yu very much, Ma Teng still held the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and wrote a letter to Cao Shuo with enthusiasm.
