On the waterway of the Yangtze River, a large caravan composed of nearly 30 new-style paddle wheels is heading for the Xiangyang wharf. At this moment, Mi Zhenzheng had an angry look on her face, glaring at a woman of the same age as herself.

The woman's posture and appearance are not under Mi Zhen, and she has an intellectual temperament that Mi Zhen does not have, with a soft smile and quiet and generous, giving people an indescribable feeling of comfort. It's just that Mi Zhen can't figure it out, such a big beauty, when she goes out, she likes to make her face yellow, and she deliberately puts a lot of spots. If it weren't for being in the same room with her for the past two days, Mi Zhen really didn't know that the ugly girl who looked a little disgusting at that time was actually a big beauty. It's good-looking, it's just that it's not a good feeling to be firmly stared at by this beauty in the past two days. Oh yes, the most important thing is that most of the ships in his fleet have been temporarily called by Liu Bei.

Looking at the pastries on the table, Mi Zhen grabbed a piece of rice cake and bit it hard, even chewing it with gritted teeth. Seeing this, the woman on the other side smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "It's really good tea!" I have long heard that Yizhou products are unique, and the Tieguanyin sold in Jiangdong is a rare good product, and it is really gratifying to have a product today. ”

Mi Zhen snorted coldly and ignored her. The things she uses for herself are all high-grade products in Yizhou, and they are generally not sold.

The woman smiled: "Mrs. Mi, please don't be angry anymore." This time, it was just a loan from the Yizhou fleet, and after the matter was completed, it would naturally be returned in full, and Uncle Liu Huang would also pay double the fare. If you are a merchant, why don't you make such a good profit? ”

When Mi Zhen heard this, she almost jumped up and scolded: "Good money? What are you doing with my fleet? The goods have been emptied, and you have forcibly stuffed a large number of soldiers, and even I have been put under house arrest here and not allowed to get out, and I don't even know what you are trying to do! ”

The woman replied with a smile: "The fleet is going to Xiangyang." Mrs. Mi has also been up and down this waterway many times, how can she not see it? As for what to do, let my husband explain it to you later, and by the way, let him make a good compensity to you. ”

Mi Zhen hesitated and asked, "Who is your husband?" You've been staring at me like this for the past two days, and you haven't said a word, and I don't even know what your name is! ”

The woman smiled dumbly, Mi Zhen didn't give her a good look in the past two days, and Mi Zhen didn't want to talk to her, but now that she thinks about it, she is simply beating up...... Oh yes, there was no story of Zhu Bajie back then.

The woman took another sip of tea, and Wenwen quietly introduced herself: "Concubine Huang Yueying, the daughter of Jingxiang Huangshi Gong." The concubine's husband, Jun Fu's surname is Zhuge , his name is bright, his name is Kong Ming, and he is the one with the road name Mr. Wolong. ”

Mi Zhen suddenly pointed at Huang Yueying and said, "You are the ugly woman Huang Yueying that people legend?" ”

Mi Zhen was stunned for a long time, and asked with some unbelievable feelings: "You...... A beautiful woman, why do you want to pretend to be a little ugly in front of people? ”

Some people say that beauty is a woman's second life, and even many women will regard their beauty as more important than life, and Mi Zhen is no exception. Especially Mi Zhen has followed Lu Ren for so long, she has long known how to enjoy life, and she is usually very good at dressing up, so she feels unbelievable about Huang Yueying's almost self-destructive approach.

Huang Yueying smiled faintly and asked, "What does Mrs. Mi think of the concubine's appearance?" ”

At this moment, although Mi Zhen was annoyed that Liu Bei "borrowed" her fleet without calling anyone, she wanted to beat people and scold people to sulk, but angry is angry, etiquette cannot be lost, who let his eldest brother be an official under Liu Bei? Besides, facing a woman like Huang Yueying, who is soft and full of intellectual beauty, Mi Zhen's eldest lady really can't get out of her temper. After a little hesitation, Mi Zhen responded: "Rong Zi Ruili, generous manners." Although I dare not say that you are a country and a city, the country is beautiful, but you are definitely a beautiful party. Mr. Wolong is really blessed to be able to marry a woman like Mrs. Huang. ”

Huang Yueying still smiled softly, took another sip of tea, and swallowed a piece of tea in her mouth before saying slowly: "A female streamer has been favored by God, and it is a blessing to give birth to a beautiful appearance. It's just that Mrs. Mi, do you know that since ancient times, the best in the ointment often becomes what people call the red face and the water of disaster. What happens to us women is often not in our own hands. ”

Hearing this, Mi Zhen nodded thoughtfully.

Huang Yueying continued: "When I was young, I saw the official families of Jingxiang go to the countryside to rob women, but any woman with a little bit of appearance will be robbed by them. Even if it is a small clan with a little family status, as long as there are women in the clan who are more outstanding in their affection, they can still be hired as wives and concubines by Ming Li. Is it to ask those local small clans, where do they dare to offend the official and wealthy families? As soon as the dowry arrives, even if they are unwilling, they have to send the women of the clan out, in order to ensure the safety of the clan's life, as for the life of the woman who marries out, where do they care? I've heard that the better ones can be mixed with three meals without being full, and the worse ones are ...... They have already lost their lives, and no one cares about their livelihoods. ”

Mi Zhen already understood a lot: "So...... You deliberately show your ugliness in front of people so that you don't attract attention? ”

Huang Yueying nodded slightly: "Yes." His father, Huang Chengyan, is a famous man in Nannan, but he is only famous for his talents, and he does not have much family power. However, a well-known person like my father is often very eye-catching, and some people in the family will always make people talk about it, if I don't hide it, I'm afraid that it will already cause unnecessary trouble. For the sake of my family, and for my own sake, I had to make this decision. In fact, I am also a woman, so where can I not love beauty? ”

Mi Zhen raised her head and frowned and said: "It sounds really reasonable, but you have definitely been coldly looked at by others for so many years, you can actually bear it, I can't stand it." ”

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "Where, just let go of your mood." And it's good to be ugly, because I can play around in a big way without worrying about people doing bad things about me. Compared to the average boudoir girl, I am really much freer. I even went to study at my father's friend, Mr. Shui Jing, but I was the kind who stood outside the window and eavesdropped. ”

Mi Zhen laughed and said, "Is this okay?" I've heard that Mr. Shuijing's disciples have a lot of talents, and most of them have a very high vision when choosing a mate, if you go there, you will definitely be cold-eyed, and you will definitely not eat less. ”

Saying that, Mi Zhen picked up another piece of rice cake and wanted to put it in her mouth, but Huang Yueying stretched out her hand to stop it. Mi Zhen was very puzzled, Huang Yueying smiled and said: "Mrs. Mi, in fact, there are tea and pastries on this table in life, and the tea is bitter and sweet. If you eat dessert first and then drink bitter tea, no matter how good the tea is, it will be bitter to the heart, and the aroma in the tea will be greatly reduced; However, if you choose tea first and then order, the bitter tea is flavorful and fragrant to the heart and lungs, and the dessert will be extra sweet. ”

Mi Zhen rolled her eyes: "It's so deep and regretful, I don't understand!" ”

Huang Yueying smiled, picked up Mi Zhen's teacup and presented it to Mi Zhen and said, "Mrs. Mi, please taste the tea first." The concubine also took advantage of this to compensate you on behalf of her husband. ”

Mi Zhen looked at Huang Yueying, who was smiling, and the anger in her chest had diminished a lot for some reason, and the tantrum she wanted to have couldn't get back up anymore. After hesitating, he took a sip of the teacup and slowly put it back on the table. After thinking about it, Mi Zhen suddenly said: "Mrs. Huang, you are very powerful, I was unconsciously persuaded by you in just a few words...... You remind me of a guy who both of you have the same mouths and are equally beautiful, and have similar temperaments. It's just that it seems that she is much more courageous than you, which may have something to do with her good martial arts. Oh yes, she's the husband she picked for herself, so I don't know what happened between you and Mr. Wolong. ”

Huang Yueying was shocked: "Really? If it is as Mrs. Mi said, then she is really too similar to me! In fact, my husband is really my own picture when I stole a teacher from Mr. Shuijing, and then secretly inspected him for more than a year, and I think it is a matchmaker who can be entrusted with a lifetime to ask my father to say, and I also deliberately asked my father to hide my true appearance from him first, only saying that it is a match, I really didn't expect him to agree happily...... I've been married to him for almost three years, but I still remember the look of astonishment he had when he saw my true face when I got married. Saying that, Huang Yueying covered her mouth with her sleeves, snickered for a while, and even laughed inexplicably with Mi Zhen. After laughing, Huang Yueying asked, "But I don't know who the woman who looks like me in Mrs. Mi's mouth is?" ”

Mi Zhen said: "The surname is Zhao Mingyu, don't look at how many years younger she is than me, she is still a little girl who has not been out of the cabinet, but she is really powerful." Oh yes! She is the third sister of General Zhao Zilong. ”

"Zhao Yu ......"

Huang Yueying muttered after reciting it a few times in silence: "If I have the opportunity in the future, I really want to meet her, maybe I will become a close friend with her." ”

Mi Zhen stretched her lazy waist and said, "Mrs. Huang, I will be a lot less angry when I talk to you." I haven't slept well in the past two days because I've been sulking, can you let me sleep alone? As soon as I woke up, I invited Mr. Wolong to meet me, and I wanted to know what Uncle Liu had done so inexplicably 'borrowing' my fleet. If I can help, I will do my best, after all, my eldest brother Mi Zhu is also a minister under Uncle Liuhuang, and I should do something. ”

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "That's how it should be!" In fact, the key point in borrowing Mrs. Mi's fleet this time is to invite Mrs. Mi to come forward. ”

Mi Zhen had a suddenly realized expression: "Oh, no wonder you want to persuade me, after a long time, you not only want to borrow my boat, but also borrow me as a person, right?" (To be continued.) )
