Chapter 484: Woman
Everyone was able to enter the main hall of Kuai Mansion, Kuai Liang didn't dare to hold it up, and Liu Mang didn't need to avoid suspicion, so the main seat of Kuai Mansion was Liu Mang sitting on it, and below was Kuai Liang's brother Jia Xu sitting on the other side.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, haven't you been able to meet Mrs. Cai?!" Kuai Yue came back with his younger brother this time, in addition to discussing his son's marriage with Liu Mang, another thing was to discuss the fact 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, and if he has no idea in two days, Liu Mang will be really hungry.
"Didn't His Royal Highness the King of Shu hand over the letter of recommendation we were waiting for?!" Kuai Yue continued to ask.
"Given!" Jia Xu on the side spoke, "We sent the letter of recommendation from the two gentlemen, but the reply we got was that the lady was not in the mansion, let us come back in a few days!" "If Mrs. Cai is not in the mansion, how can Liu Mang go.
"Someone is in the way!" As soon as Kuai Yue, the old fox, heard this, he knew that someone must have intervened, otherwise it would be impossible, the recommendation letter of the Kuai family brothers, not to mention Mrs. Cai, I am afraid that even Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, can see it, and Mrs. Cai has an alliance with the Kuai family, so she will give face to reason.
"Is it Cai Mao, Cai Deqi?!" Kuai Liang looked at his brother suspiciously and asked, Cai Mao is the only one who can make a hindrance and make Mrs. Cai listen to his invisible guests. After the end of that day, Cai Mao left with a blushing face, and the Kuai family didn't tell him as an ally for such a big thing, can Cai Mao be happy, and 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 knows, Kuai Yue shook his head: "It's not Brother Deju!" Cai Mao left angrily that day. But afterwards, Kuai Yue still chased after him. The relationship between the two is not bad, Kuai Yue immediately explained like Cai Mao, although Cai Mao can't forgive, but he won't get in the way, at most he will not help each other, not to the point of tearing his face.
For Cai Mao, although Liu Mang made him unhappy, the power of the Pang family also made him jealous, and he was even more jealous. After all, Liu Mang is just a dragon crossing the river, and he will leave sooner or later, and the Pang family and Lumen Academy are different.
"Who's that?!" Everyone frowned. Everyone thought for a while, and they all thought of the same person, that is, Liu Mang's current enemy, Pang Tong.
But what can Pang Shiyuan, a mere general, do to make the lady of a state obey his orders! Even the face of his Kuai family is not sold.
"You don't need to think about it, you'll see tomorrow!" Liu Mang waved his hand, tomorrow they will enter this Mrs. Cai's mansion, isn't it clear who is doing the trick!
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu has a way?!" Kuai Yue looked at Liu Mang and asked.
"Nature?" Liu Mang did not reveal how he met Mrs. Cai, but showed a kind of confidence.
"If His Royal Highness the King of Shu has any requirements, just send someone to say it clearly!" It is impossible for Kuaiyue to be neutral. Now the whole Jingzhou knows that the Kuai family is going to marry Yangzhou, and the Kuai family is also going to be tied to Yangzhou's chariot. Even the lord Liu Biao could hear this, and deliberately called Kuai Yue over to ask, Kuai Yue did not directly help Liu Mang say good things, although his Kuai family is Liu Biao's right-hand man, but one person is not good at words, and when all the preparations for Liu Mang are done, they can work together.
"Thank you, Mr. Xenomorph!" Liu Mang also nodded, it was already good to be able to let Kuai Yue, an old fox, do this.
……
On the second day, as soon as the day dawned, Liu Mang pulled up Jia Xu, the old fox, they had important things to do today, as soon as the things were ready, they got into the carriage directly and headed towards Jingshan, and even brought breakfast in the carriage to solve the problem.
"Lord, is it really good to dress like this?!" Jia Xu looked at the clothes in his hand and looked at Liu Mang very embarrassed.
"Why don't you want to wear it?!" Liu Mang also took out a set, a total of three sets, one of his and one of Jia Xu's and one of Jia Xu's subordinates.
"It's not that I don't want to! Just this, this! Jia Xu looked at the clothes in his hand, this is no longer the clothing of the Han people, there is a hat and a chain on it, but the hat is not the crown of the Han people, but a round hat.
"Don't do this and that, don't you want a little pill, you don't want to wear these clothes, why weren't you embarrassed when you disguised yourself as the descendant of Taiwei Duan!" The clothes that Liu Mang took out were really not worn by the Han people, even the ethnic minorities around the Han Dynasty rarely wore them, which basically belonged to fancy clothes, like the costumes of the people in Arabia in the Western Regions.
"I wear it, I wear it!" For the sake of the little pill, Jia Xu is really fighting.
"And this mustache don't forget!" Liu Mang handed Jia Xu another beard and put it directly on his mouth, Liu Mang turned around, it was very good, and a fresh foreign merchant from the Western Regions who went to Dahan to trade appeared.
"The clothes are on, after the difficulty!"
"Is it just selling these things?" Liu Mang took out a few bottled items from another package.
"It's another day!" The sun soon rose from the east, and in a mansion at the foot of Jingshan Mountain, a beautiful woman slowly got up under the sun.
Although this mansion by Jingshan is not big, there are a lot of things in it, and there are not a few strange flowers and plants, which is not the key, the key is that a place here is really able to make people enjoy and forget themselves.
Beauty slowly got up, this is her mansion, she is the hostess of Jingzhou, she came to this mansion to enjoy, every month she comes here will feel an ethereal feeling, let her really relax, in the past, this kind of sunshine will make her very comfortable, but today she does not have this feeling.
Because of some people, the trip has changed its original meaning, and it has become tedious and boring.
She came here every month to leave Xiangyang, the center of power that represented the whole of Jingzhou, but now she had become deceitful, so she didn't like this kind of sunshine anymore. I just hope that the time will come to an end soon. Let her go.
Beauty sat up. Walking in front of the dresser, a beautiful figure appeared in the smooth bronze mirror, even if he had just gotten up, but there was still a graceful and luxurious beauty.
She caressed her face, such a stunning face was not appreciated, whose woman didn't think about spring, whose woman didn't want Prince Charming, but her identity was destined that she would never have such an opportunity in her life. In her marriage, she married a man who was a few years older than her father, even if this man was the master of Jingzhou, a member of the princes of the world, and a member of the Han family.
But I can't resist the fact that this man is already old, Fanghua passed away suddenly, and before he could bud it, he had already fallen.
The only one who can appreciate yourself is yourself!
Beauty stood in front of the bronze mirror. She groomed and dressed up, and she could only show herself several sets of clothes. It's still so beautiful.
"Huh?!" Suddenly, Beauty's brow furrowed, and she had found a flaw in the corner of her eye, where a large crow's feet were standing, as if mocking her. You're old, you're no longer twenty-eight years old, you're no longer the cardamom girl.
The beauty wanted to use the rouge gouache on the table to cover up the crow's feet, but the rouge gouache was applied over and over again, and the crow's feet did not change in the slightest, and even because of the beauty's anger, even the skin began to show other flaws, and the face was no longer blown, but became dry and withered.
"Ahhh The beauty couldn't stand it anymore, so she swept away the rouge gouache on the dresser and knocked it all down on the ground.
"Madame, ma'am! That's it, what's wrong! Hearing the movement in the inner room, the maid outside was about to go in to see what was going on, but was stopped by this beauty.
Beauty tried her best to calm her mind, "It's okay, it's just that the rouge gouache has fallen!" No need to come in! ”
After a long time, the beauty redressed and walked out of the room to the hall.
There was already a person standing there in the hall, who was it not Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan.
"Madame!" Pang Tong saw Mrs. Cai's arrival and saluted him, and Pang Tong got up quite early every day.
"Hmm!" Mrs. Cai also nodded politely, and then sat down at the table, and soon a servant brought the breakfast.
"Would you like to have some, sir?!" Mrs. Cai beckoned to Pang Tong.
"No, ma'am! The system is already eating! Pang Tong retreated, and Mrs. Cai did not force it, and ate breakfast alone.
"Madam, I don't know when Madame will return to the city!" Pang Tong waited for Mrs. Cai to finish eating, and asked Mrs. Cai.
"Tomorrow, I've already cleaned up today!" Mrs. Cai replied. "What's wrong? Mr! ”
"Nothing!" Pang Tong waved his hand, he wanted Mrs. Cai to leave here as soon as possible, as long as Mrs. Cai returned to Xiangyang, then the pseudo-king Liu Mang would have nothing to do, but Pang Tong couldn't say it so clearly, because he was already very kind to Mrs. Cai if she didn't see Liu Mang.
Can't Mrs. Cai see that Pang Tong is in a hurry? She can see it, but it is impossible to change too much because of Pang Tong's people, if she goes back early, Liu Biao asked how to speak, saying that it was because Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan said that he wanted to support his young son Liu Zong, so Mrs. Cai would listen to his words and go back early?
"Madame, is yesterday's chess game going to continue?!" Pang Tong asked with a smile.
"Sir, if you have this Yaxing, then go on!" Mrs. Cai nodded and reached, the ancients did not have much entertainment, and this chess game is one of them.
Pang Tong nodded, and he went to the courtyard to prepare for the chess pieces.
"Xiaocui, I don't have much rouge gouache, go to the city to help me buy it!" Mrs. Cai thought of something and said to her maidservant.
"Got it, Miss!" Xiaocui nodded, the rouge gouache that I bought the day before yesterday is not available now, it can be used for half a month, and Mrs. Cai's sudden temper in the morning knocked over all the rouge gouache, so I need to go and buy it.
Mrs. Cai went to play chess with Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan under the service of another maidservant, and the matter of buying rouge gouache naturally fell on Xiaocui, not that she couldn't let the next person go, but that only he knew the rouge gouache that Mrs. wanted to use.
Jingshan is still some distance away from Xiangyang City. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a carriage to go.
……
"It's coming. Here it comes! Liu Mang and the others saw a carriage outside Mrs. Cai's mansion and was about to leave. The one who got into the carriage was a figure in the shape of a maidservant. The woman left naturally to buy rouge gouache and leave.
"Jia Xu, come, shout!" Liu Mang said to Jia Xu on the side.
"Lord, don't!" Jia Xu was very embarrassed.
"What a hypocrisy! Fast! Liu Mang directly kicked Jia Xu's body.
The old fox reluctantly shouted, "The best Western Regions rouge, the best Western Regions gouache, don't miss it when you pass by, there is no other home for this one" Let Jia Xu, a top strategist, stand on the side of the road to sing and shout, and only Liu Mang is such a wonderful lord.
"Huh?!" Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Cui frowned a little. Although I have been accustomed to it, usually in the morning, Mrs. will knock over the dresser, so the rouge gouache is to be bought again, but every time from Jingshan to Xiangyang, the road is uncomfortable, it is all dirt and stone pavement, although Liu Biao also sent someone to smooth it, but that can only change a little, this back and forth bump is still very uncomfortable.
Xiaocui is a maidservant, although she is by Mrs. Cai's side, but she is just a servant, and she can't make the kind of luxury carriage with a lot of cotton pads and down, she can only make this kind of ordinary frame. How she feels in this, only Xiaocui herself knows.
In the morning, Xiaocui was ready for another bump. However, the strange sound of the groom was heard, and the carriage slowed down.
"What's wrong?" Cui asked.
"Miss Yucui, there is someone selling things on the official road ahead! Blocked the official road! The carriage reported to Xiao Cui that Xiao Cui's status in the mansion is not low.
"Someone sells something?!" Xiaocui frowned, this place is close to Jingshan, and if you want to sell something, you have to sell it in Xiangyang.
"It also sells rouge gouache! How many girls are there on such an official road! The groom said with a smile.
"Rouge gouache?!" Xiaocui was stunned for a moment, she either came out to sell rouge gouache, but then she became vigilant, this is too much of a coincidence, she wants to buy, someone sells anything.
"Go straight to it!" Xiao Cui said to the groom, this is really too much of a coincidence, Xiao Cui was vigilant and prepared to let the groom directly hit the horse and ignore here.
"Yes, Miss Cui!" The groom nodded, raised his whip and was about to speed up to let the carriage go straight away.
"Leaving?!" Liu Mang also frowned, they are too abrupt, there is no market here, and there is not much flow of people, how can there be a business selling rouge gouache? Naturally, those who see it will have a wary look.
"Be louder!" Liu Mang kicked Jia Xu again, and now he can be useful by relying on the words he taught Jia Xu.
"With my rouge gouache, you are absolutely worth the money, eighty years old becomes sixty, sixty becomes thirty, thirty becomes eighteen! The skin is delicate and youthful! ”
"Stop!" Xiao Cui's voice sounded in the carriage again.
"Miss Cui?!"
Xiaocui was attracted by Jia Xu's shouting, eighty to sixty, sixty to thirty? Thirty to eighteen? Where is this rouge gouache, isn't this a miracle medicine, rejuvenation and rejuvenation pills.
Which woman doesn't love beauty, Xiaocui grew up with Mrs. Cai, and she also served Mrs. Cai, so Mrs. Cai is close to thirty, and she is too, she naturally has her own pickiness about her appearance, who doesn't want to be more beautiful! Even if she's just a maid.
Thirty to eighteen! This completely attracted Xiao Cui, Mrs. Cai has always wanted to marry her, although Xiao Cui is a dowry maid, but Liu Biao did not do it, that is because he does not have that energy, so Xiao Cui is still perfect, but the years will always leave traces on people's faces, Mrs. Cai will have wrinkles when she is such a beauty, let alone her such a maid.
Because of her age, Mrs. Cai is not easy to help her find a family, if it is a better one, those sons and sisters, people will dislike Xiaocui when she is old and unwilling, if it is a little worse, those old men, Mrs. Cai is also unwilling, he doesn't want his tragedy to happen to Xiaocui again, so he has been delayed.
Now when she hears this thirty to eighteen, Xiao Cui's heart is moved.
"Miss Cui, is this going to be a fraud?!" The groom said warily.
"This is outside Xiangyang!" Cui replied. This is on the edge of Jing Mountain. It is also on the edge of Xiangyang. Not to mention the guards and horses above Mrs. Cai's mansion in Jingshan, even if the large army of Xiangyang came here quickly, Xiaocui was not afraid of fraud. You might as well take a look.
A woman's curiosity is powerful.
"There's a chance!" Liu Mang looked at the figure walking down from the carriage, and the information he got from Jia Xu Liu Mang knew that this woman should be the maid Xiaocui next to Mrs. Cai.
"You guys sell rouge gouache?!" Xiao Cui stepped out of the carriage and asked Liu Mang and Jia Xu. The horseman on the side was on guard, and this man was also a man in the army.
"No!" Jia Xu subconsciously wanted to say no, but changed his statement under Liu Mang's kick, "Yes, yes, yes!" ”
"Girl. Our rouge gouache, we didn't blow it, it can be said that we say that we are the second in the whole world, and no one dares to say the first! Liu Mang stepped forward and said to Xiaocui.
"What a big breath!" Xiao Cui sneered and expressed her disdain, but it aroused her curiosity even more.
"Hehe, we don't brag, if not, then the girl can take all our rouge gouache without a penny!"
"Oh, I'd like to see it!" Xiao Cui stepped forward. When he saw the table under Liu Mang, he immediately frowned.
Because there is not the slightest rouge gouache on this tabletop, but a white liquid-like thing. There were also some plaster-like things, even with masks. It's just that the mask is so thin that it can cover the face!
"Who the hell are you?! What are the intentions? Xiao Cui immediately questioned Liu Mang and Jia Xu, and she also took a step back.
"We!" Jia Xu stood aside and was about to step forward to talk and prepare to make up a reason, but Liu Mang spoke first
"We are here from the Western Regions, for Mrs. Cai!" Liu Mang took a step forward and said.
"Lord?!" Jia Xu looked at Liu Mang, and Liu Mang directly told the old bottom.
"For Madame?!" Xiao Cui's vigilance is even higher.
"Yes, for Mrs. Cai, we know that Jingzhou is rich and prosperous, and the business is developed, so we bought rouge gouache from the Western Regions from the Western Regions and prepared to buy and sell in Jingzhou, but girl, you also know that it is difficult for us to sell rouge gouache in Jingzhou!" Liu Mang explained.
It can be said that all the trade routes in Jingzhou have the shadow of the scholars, and the sale of rouge gouache is also controlled by the Wu family in Jiangling, and ordinary merchants must get their permission if they want to sell!
"That's why we're looking for Madame!"
"Chasing the lady?!"
"Yes! We know that Mrs. Fanghua is the peerless Xi Shi between this Jing Chu! Liu Mang hadn't seen this Mrs. Cai, but it didn't prevent him from patting his ass.
Seeing his wife being praised by others, Xiaocui's psychology is still very comfortable.
"If Mrs. uses it and thinks it's good, are we worried that we won't be able to sell it?!" Liu Mang smiled at Xiaocui and said, if Mrs. Cai also thinks it is good, then naturally those noble ladies will buy it, this is the noble effect, just like a modern advertising endorsement.
The rouge gouache that Mrs. Cai is buying now is the Wu family's Jiangling powder, so the Wu family's business is exceptionally good.
"That's what they think!" Xiao Cui's heart gradually began to dispel her worries, and now it hurts to explain, these people are waiting for themselves here, as long as they buy the rouge gouache here and go back to Mrs. If they use it well, naturally these businessmen can make a lot of money.
"It also depends on how your rouge gouache goes!" Xiao Cui dispelled her worries in her heart, and naturally she would take a look at these rouge gouaches.
"If the girl misses it, then there is no chance!" Liu Mang is also bragging about not making drafts, and he is about to blow his things to the sky.
"Take out the rouge gouache!" Cui was a little impatient.
"These are rouge gouaches!" Liu Mang pointed to the things on the table and said to Xiao Cui.
"These?!" Xiao Cui obviously didn't believe that these paste-like and liquid things could be considered rouge gouache.
"Girl, we are from the Western Regions, and the things we naturally bring are different, don't worry, watch me introduce them to you carefully!" Liu Mang opened it with a wooden box, and as soon as he opened it, a fragrance came to his nose.
"Girl, look at this, this is alabaster!" Liu Mang handed the wooden box to Xiao Cui. "This is made of the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, and there is the essence of the heavenly snow lotus in it. By boiling ninety-nine eighty-one days. It is made by boiling it in open water! ”
What Xiao Cui has in her hand is actually an ordinary alabaster cream. is still a miscellaneous brand, and the price in the previous life was no more than five oceans, but now in Liu Mang's hands, he is made of Tianshan Snow Lotus, otherwise it can't be called alabaster cream, isn't it!
"Made of Heavenly Snow Lotus?!" Xiao Cui was really surprised, Tianshan Snow Lotus is a very precious thing, Xiao Cui has seen it in the hinterland of Jingzhou, it is still worth hundreds of gold as tribute.
Originally, Xiaocui didn't believe it, but when she saw the white things in this box, and the real snowflakes looked like the most important thing was that this thing was so fragrant. A floral scent came to my nose!
The effect of using smoked flowers on Xiaocui's body is even better. A woman is worthy of being a woman, there is no difference between a woman thousands of years ago and a woman in later generations, smelling this fragrance, Xiaocui was fascinated, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Girl, girl?!" Liu Mang waved his hand in front of Xiao Cui, and waited until Liu Mang blocked the alabaster in front of him that Xiao Cui came back to his senses.
"How do I use this?!" Xiaocui already believed that Liu Mang was selling rouge gouache.
"It's easy!" Liu Mang took out a small piece from the small wooden box, which made Xiaocui feel a little distressed, and directly put it in the palm of his hand. I rubbed it carefully, and finally massaged it directly on my face.
"It's like this. Apply the essence of this Tianshan Snow Lotus evenly on your face, not only rely on your mouth to eat, but also eat other parts of your body The face can only maintain a good luster if you absorb these! Liu Mang was fooling this Xiaocui with a set of makeup theories that had been bombarded by Chen Yi.
"The face wants to eat too?!" Xiaocui is also the first time to hear of this theory, under the instigation of Liu Mang, she also dug out a small piece herself, and applied it directly on her face, as soon as she applied it on her face, a cool feeling suddenly came over, and after Xiaocui smeared the whole face, she was touching her skin with her hands, and she was dumbfounded.
"It's so smooth!" If the face is not maintained, although the ancients, who are most likely to lose moisture, know how to maintain health, but it is not for the body and the skin.
"Of course it's smooth!" Liu Mang smiled in his heart, the ingredient of this alabaster is not some kind of bullshit Tianshan Snow Lotus, but oil, the oil is not smooth on the face, and the alabaster is originally moisturizing.
"It smells so good!" Xiao Cui's own hands are also fragrant.
"How's it going, girl, our rouge gouache is alright!" Liu Mang hit the railway while it was hot.
"What about the others!" Xiao Cui asked, pointing to something else.
"This is hand cream!" Liu Mang said to Xiao Cui: "This is the same as alabaster, except that he applied it on his hands!" ”
"What about this!"
"This one!" Liu Mang looked at what Xiao Cui picked up, "This is a flower fragrance!" ”
"Is this also smeared on your hands?!"
"This is not on your hands, it's on your head! It's used to protect the girl's green silk! ”
"Hair?!" Xiao Cui wondered.
"That's right, girl" Liu Mang gradually approached Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui didn't notice it just now, but now she reacted, her face was a little blushing, because Liu Mang was too close, Xiao Cui could feel the heat emitted from Liu Mang's body.
"What do you want to do!" Xiao Cui asked with a little blush.
"Nothing!" Liu Mang gently wiped it on Xiaocui's shoulder, and stretched out his finger to show Xiaocui, "Girl, look, the girl's green silk is not well protected!" It turned out that Liu Mang stroked Xiao Cui's clothes and peeled it out for Xiao Cui to see.
"This!?" Scalp peeling natural desquamation is a product of the normal physiological metabolism of the scalp, which happens to everyone, and the ancients didn't have any dandruff shampoo, but girls would normally clean him up.
"This floral lotion can be removed, these!" Liu Mang said to Xiao Cui.
"This one can too!?" Scalp shaving is very rare for some people, and it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but some people are different, it is okay not to pay attention, if you pay attention, you can comb out a lot on your head. Xiaocui is such a girl.
"If you don't mind, you can try it!"
"Try?!" Xiaocui was stunned for a moment, the ancients didn't wash their hair alone, basically washing their hair is taking a bath, how to try it!
"If you don't mind, girl, you can help!" Liu Mang pointed to the basin and water on the other side and said.
"Hmm!" Xiao Cui didn't know why she agreed.
Liu Mang fiddled with the water temperature, and after it was moderate, he helped this Xiaocui wash her hair once.
"Girl, look!" Liu Mang pointed to the basin of water and said to Xiaocui, no matter what shampoo it is, he can give you an illusion, that is, your hair is very dirty, because the shampoo is foaming at the end, as long as it is a little dirty, it can be revealed.
And now Liu Mang shows Xiaocui that this shampoo is the effect of washing her hair.
"It's dirty!" Xiao Cui covered her mouth and said dumbly.
"Girl, look at your green silk again!" Liu Mang gently picked up a strand of green silk and gave it to Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui took it in his hand, and a fragrance wafted out of her hair, and the tips of her hair that were originally a little dry also became rollerly.
"How so!" Xiao Cui simply covered her mouth and watched the change in her hair, not only was it fragrant, but her hair became smoother. The comb can be combed down very smoothly on it, and although it does not fall directly from the advertisement, it is also very good.
"What else?!" Xiaocui is now more and more interested in Liu Mang's things.
"Naturally! Girl, your skin belongs to neutral skin, it should be this, this! Liu Mang stood aside to help Xiao Cui choose cosmetics, Liu Mang's knowledge was taught by Chen Yi's witch, and a few people who play anime don't know a little about makeup and maintenance!
In an instant, Xiaocui's whole outlook on life and values have been subverted, originally she thought that women only need to apply powder and rouge, who knows that it can be like this, from head to toe, almost Liu Mang fooled Xiaocui to take off her clothes! (To be continued......)
