Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 107 Who will lead the red line under the moon

In the room, Tao Zhan had already put on makeup for Liu Jing, but Liu Jing was still in a semi-intoxicated state, squinting his eyes, savoring Tao Zhan's delicate and soft little hands caressing his face.

Sometimes I would open my eyes again, admiring her wrists as white as jade, and the scent of fragrance wafting from her sleeves.

Tao Zhan was so engrossed that he didn't realize Liu Jing's mind of becoming a disciple. Beside her, there were two pretty maids who were also concentrating on her, Xiao Baozi and Gillian.

"The most important thing about makeup is the shape of the face and figure. Mr. Jing's face shape is similar to that of Zhuge Kongming, both of which are donkey-shaped."

"and many more!"

Liu Jing woke up from the intoxication, and interrupted her dissatisfiedly, "What is a donkey-shaped face?"

Tao Zhan pursed his lips and smiled, "I thought you were asleep, so I wanted to test you, but you were still awake, okay! The face is a little longer, so it's okay!"

Xiao Baozi and Gillian both covered their mouths and giggled. Xiao Baozi and Liu Jing got to know his character after a long time, and Gillian was afraid of him at first, but slowly, she also discovered his kindness and tolerance, and felt in her heart My timidity disappeared little by little.

"And then there's the body."

Tao Zhan continued: "Mr. Jing's figure is similar to that of Brother Kong Fang, both of which are in the shape of a snake. They are both relatively long, so they are easy to dress up. Look, how are you doing now?"

Little Baozi leaned closer to take a closer look with his lychee-like round eyes, and exclaimed, "Ah! Young Master has completely changed."

Gillian also clapped her hands excitedly, "It's completely different."

Liu Jing said angrily, "Can you show me yourself."

Tao Zhan handed him the bronze mirror with a smile, Liu Jing took the mirror to look at himself, only to see that there was a completely different person in the mirror, seven points like Kong Ming, and three points, he didn't know who he looked like?

"This...isn't that much like him!"

Tao Zhan tapped him on the head, and said angrily, "Do you think I'm conjuring a spell? Make-up is that simple. If you haven't been together for a few months, how can you pretend to be good? Besides, I only watched him from a distance yesterday. At a glance, when you go out later, you can change into the Confucian uniform and the hibiscus crown he usually wears, and you will be inseparable."

"Then what about talking?" Liu Jing asked again.

Tao Zhan was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say...won't you enter the Huang's mansion?"

Liu Jing smiled wryly, "I'm afraid that Mr. Huang will force me in, that would be terrible."

"That's your business, it's best to be terrible, so as not to mess up the mandarin ducks like you."

Having said that, Tao Zhan repaired a few details of the eyebrows and eyes based on his memory, making them more similar.

"Okay, let's go."

Tao Zhan also changed into Confucian clothes, wearing a Zhangfu crown on his head, long clothes with broad sleeves, a pair of gorgeous hook shoes on his feet, holding a booklet in his hand, looking like a young and handsome scholar. Men's clothing, but if she doesn't go, there will be problems with her makeup and she can't solve it, hey!I don't know what the outcome will be today.

The two got into the carriage, and the carriage drove towards Longzhong at a high speed. They had made an appointment with Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping to meet up.

Huang Chengyan's mansion is in the north of Longzhong, at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, a clear and green river flows around the mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. More than two hundred families of the Huang family who moved from Nanyang live here.

The gray and white mansion in the middle is Huang Chengyan's residence. Of course, this is only the temporary residence of the Huang family. Their ancestral residence in Nanyang is several times larger than this.

Huang Chengyan is about forty years old this year. He married his wife Cai and had two daughters. The eldest daughter, Eying, married Kuailiang's eldest son. The second daughter, Yueying, is sixteen years old and is waiting to be married.

Huang Chengyan has been worrying about the marriage of his little daughter Yueying. Although Yueying is very talented and unparalleled in piano skills, it is a pity that she is not good-looking and no one comes to ask for marriage. Not only that, the local villagers also bully them as foreigners. The local rumor of "If you marry a wife, don't marry a daughter of Huang's family" came out and spread all over Xiangyang, which made Huang Chengyan extremely annoyed, but he was helpless.

Huang Chengyan actually understood his daughter's thoughts very well. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, Yueying played the piano, Kong Ming played the flute, and the qin and flute ensemble. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang declined his invitation on the grounds that he wanted to go on a study tour.

Huang Yueying fell ill because of lovesickness, and Huang Chengyan was really unhappy because of this, but he couldn't help it. His daughter's appearance is not good, so it's no wonder that people look down on her.

Huang Chengyan was sitting in the study reading a book, but he could faintly hear the melodious and melodious sound of the zither, which made him sigh in his heart, this child.

At this time, a housekeeper reported at the door, "Old Patriarch, Yingchuan Xu Yuanzhi and Cui Zhouping asked to see each other and said they would send a marriage certificate."

'Marriage letter? '

Huang Chengyan was startled, who was the marriage certificate for? He suddenly had an idea in his mind, it couldn't be for Kong Ming!Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping are both Kong Ming's close friends, and they are both married, so naturally they didn't propose marriage for him, Huang Chengyan's heart became hot, and he quickly ordered: "Please invite them to the living room!"

Huang Chengyan was a little excited. If Kong Ming really came to propose, then his daughter's lovesickness would be cured. He hurriedly put on a robe and hurried to the living room.

In the living room, Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping sat side by side. According to the prior agreement, the two of them presented the marriage certificate. Liu Jing dressed up as Kong Ming and waited outside the door. This was because Huang Chengyan knew Kong Ming. No, it was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth, so Liu Jing couldn't enter the house.

Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping exchanged glances from time to time, both of them felt a little nervous, once Huang Chengyan saw through, it would be a trivial matter to offend others, and more importantly, the marriage between Kong Ming and Huang Yueying would be completely over.

At this time, Huang Chengyan walked into the living room with a smile, "I kept the two nephews waiting for a long time."

Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping stood up and saluted, "Come here uninvited, to disturb Uncle Shi."

"You're welcome, my two nephews, please sit down."

The three of them sat down as guest and host, and the butler next to him hurried forward and said to Huang Chengyan in a low voice: "Mr. Zhuge is here too, just outside the gate, why don't you come in!"

Huang Chengyan was startled, and asked a little strangely: "Since Kong Ming is also here, why didn't he come in, but just stood at the door?"

Both Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping laughed, and Cui Zhouping explained: "Brother Kong Ming is thin-skinned, please Uncle Shi understand how he feels."

Huang Chengyan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What mood is he in?"

Xu Shu took out the marriage proposal and presented it with both hands, "This is Kong Ming's marriage letter. If he wants Yueying to be his wife, it should be the words of the matchmaker and the order of his parents. However, Kong Ming's parents are dead, his uncle is also dead, and there are no elders in the family, so I have to personally marry him." Come to propose marriage, as close friends, we also have a duty to do so."

Huang Chengyan took the marriage letter and read it again. He was so happy that Kong Ming finally agreed to propose to him. It's a good thing!He laughed and said, "What's the matter with this child, he still dares not come in."

He immediately ordered the housekeeper, "Mr. Zhuge please come in!"

Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping hurriedly tried to stop him, but Huang Chengyan waved his hands, "You don't need to persuade me, I still want to talk to him. I have no elders, so I can only do it myself, which is actually not bad."

Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping glanced at each other, and they secretly complained in their hearts, this is going to be bad.

. . . . .

In an embroidered building in the back house, Huang Yueying was wearing a plain skirt and sitting with her hair curled up. She was sitting on the balcony on the second floor burning incense and playing the piano.The sound of the piano contains her deep lovesickness.

Huang Yueying's hair is chestnut, not withered and yellow, with a kind of luster. In later generations, this kind of hair color made women flock to it, but in the Three Kingdoms era, this kind of hair color was extremely rare, and her skin was not fair, but rather dark. Not a dull black, but a healthy black and bright color.

However, people in this era can't understand her chestnut hair and dark skin, especially the villagers, who are always jealous of the aristocratic family, saying that she has yellow hair and black face, and spreads more and more, becoming the spokesperson of ugly women. In all fairness, Huang Yueying is actually not ugly, but her facial features are ordinary and there is nothing outstanding.

'Zheng! The sound of the piano changed a tune, and then there was a rush of people going upstairs, Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows slightly, a little displeased.

"girl!"

A maid rushed over, out of breath, but her brows were full of surprise, "Good thing!"

"What are you doing in a panic?"

Huang Yueying complained to her: "Even if it's a good thing, you can't lose your composure like this. How do I usually teach you?"

"Girl, Mr. Zhuge is here to propose."

"what!"

Huang Yueying was stunned for a moment, she stood up slowly, then sat down again, her heart started beating violently, did he really come to propose?

"Girl, what should I do?" Her maid was in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

Huang Yueying calmed down, and the sound of Ding Dong flowed out of her hands again. This time she was playing Feng Qiuhuang, and there was no longer the sound of resentment in the sound of the piano, but a secret emotion, eloquent.

. . . . . .

Outside the Huang Mansion, Liu Jing pretended to be Zhuge Liang, pacing back and forth in front of the steps with his hands behind his back. He was also anxious, the weather was a bit stuffy today, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, which made his eyebrows a little swollen.

Moreover, his skin is dark, while Zhuge Liang's skin is fair, so he put on a thick layer of powder. Now that the sweat is streaming down, his face is like a loess plateau with severe soil erosion.

At this time, the butler hurried out, bowed and saluted, "Mr. Zhuge, my master invites you in!"

Liu Jing was stunned, how could he get in?He covered his throat and waved his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "I feel a little sick, and it's hard to meet people. I'll visit Mr. Huang another day."

"Sir, it's okay to go in and sit down. The master wants to say a few words to you, and drink some tea to moisten his throat. It is not the way the Huang family treats guests by asking him to wait outside."

The butler insisted on inviting him in, Liu Jing was a little embarrassed, what should I do?He couldn't help but glanced back at the carriage in the distance. Tao Zhan looked at him with a smile in the carriage, as if he was watching a good show.

Liu Jing didn't know what to do, at this moment, Xu Shu and Cui Zhouping rushed out, shouting at the same time: "Uncle Shi, please stay, we really have something urgent!"

They rushed out of the gate, Xu Shu grabbed Liu Jing and ran away, "Go!"

Liu Jing also seemed to have seen the figure of the master, and he quickly said politely to the housekeeper, "Come again next time!"

After finishing speaking, he followed the two of them and fled in a hurry, almost jumping into the carriage. When the carriage started, Liu Jing raised his head and waved to Huang Chengyan on the steps, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Uncle Shi, my nephew, please."

With hands behind his back, Huang Chengyan watched 'Nephew Zhuge' go away with a smile, couldn't help but stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This kid has a very thin skin."

He turned back and told the housekeeper, "I'm going to hold a banquet the day after tomorrow, and many celebrities from Jingzhou are coming. At the same time, I'm going to make an appointment for Yueniang's marriage. Prepare well!"
