"Second Master, there are the herbs you asked for outside the door. The Master specifically asked me to wait for them to be delivered." Wei Teng yawned, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, just leave it there. I'll take care of it myself later." He bowed his hands respectfully, glanced at the two little girls playing in the yard, and bowed down.
Little Aning stopped playing, turned around and asked Wei Cheng, "Brother Wei, do you want me and Niu Niu to help you?" Niu Niu was the little girl who was rescued that day, with gauze still tied on her head. With daily maintenance, the skin color gradually becomes rosy.
Hearing An Ning's words, she also looked at Wei Cheng, her little hand unconsciously holding An Ning's hand, and she was very dependent on An Ning.
Wei Cheng smiled and shook his head, put down the pestle in his hand, and said, "No need, you two go to the kitchen to see if the meal is ready." After hearing this, Aning nodded obediently and pulled Niu Niu towards the backyard. go.
Originally, there was no kitchen in this small courtyard, but after eating Wei's meals several times, Wei Cheng and others couldn't work up their appetite. In the end, there was no other way. Wei Cheng asked Wei Hao for a cook, and cooked in the backyard by himself I renovated the stove and used it as a private kitchen.
As luck would have it, this cook was none other than Niu Niu's mother. After she was rescued, she had been doing whatever she could in Wei's back kitchen, and she happened to be chosen to cook for Wei Cheng.
After the two girls left, Cai Yan and Xie Yu walked in from the courtyard door. Cai Yan's face was not very good-looking. When he saw Wei Cheng, he said with a bitter look on his face: "Husband, you have hurt me." When Wei Cheng saw this, he smiled and said, "Why, what do you want today?" Xie Yu Putting her precious Yunying Fire Gun on the wooden stand beside her, she said angrily: "I want shampoo this time. You girls from the Wei family really only know how to bully Sister Cai for being honest. I asked for soap the day before yesterday. Today I'm focusing on shampoo, but tomorrow I'm afraid if Sister Cai has something good, they won't let it go." Cai Yan pouted and sat in front of Wei Cheng, casually picking up a herbal rhizome and a small brush. Help sweep the dust off.
Wei Cheng looked at the young lady who looked very aggrieved, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just give it to them if they want it." Cai Yan was not really angry, but Wei Cheng had emptied all the inventory he had given her, and he There was only half a bar of soap and a small porcelain bottle of shampoo left. If I ran out of it, I would have to go back to the soap from before. It would be quite unaccustomed.
As for the reason why Xie Yu is so indignant, it is because she has been using Cai Yan's good things. Now the soap and shampoo are gone, and she will never be able to wash her face again. It makes her uncomfortable when she thinks about it. It's all because of Wei's selfishness. Old ladies.
In fact, this girl Xie Yu is to blame for this matter. Cai Yan has a relatively quiet temperament and will not deliberately publicize good things.
It's all Xie Yu. When I went to greet some ladies a few days ago, one of the ladies praised her a few times. This girl raised her fox tail to the sky and sold Cai Yan's.
When they learned that there was a bathing product in the world that was better than soap, all the ladies pulled Cai Yan and asked.
Cai Yan had no choice but to give some elders a gift, and did not want to offend the elders. Among them, Wei Hao's stepwife, who was Wei Cheng's stepmother, also specially gave them a small bottle of shampoo.
It was this bottle of shampoo that emptied her inventory. After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Wei Cheng smiled and tapped Cai Yan on the forehead.
"Okay, there are no more things. I'll make some more for you." Wei Cheng stood up and walked into the back room. He pulled out a box from under the bed, which contained some small items and a dozen porcelain bottles.
In the porcelain bottles are various shower gels and shampoos, which he filled. I found a bottle of standard Head & Shoulders shampoo and a bottle of shower gel labeled Johnson & Johnson. After thinking about it, I picked up a box of the Palace Facial Mask I made myself.
"Here, take it and use it. This bottle is the latest developed shower gel. Its usage is similar to that of shampoo. The fragrance and decontamination effect are slightly better than soap. See if you like it." Cai Yan looked at it as if he had found a treasure. Looking at the porcelain bottle in front of him, he pointed to the box of facial mask curiously, and said: "I still have this." There were a few boxes of facial mask cream that Wei Cheng made for Uncle Zhou before, and he gave one box to Cai Yan, and one box to Cai Yan. One box was given to Hao Niang and another to Aunt Fang. This box was the last one.
Wei Cheng said nonchalantly: "Take it. When they ask you why your skin is so good, give them the unused box. You can keep this box for yourself." Cai Yan's eyes were clear and he accepted it happily. After applying the facial mask, I said, "My husband is still thoughtful." At the same time, I was secretly happy because my husband complimented me on how good my skin is!
Wei Cheng smiled and said nothing, and continued to tinker with his medicinal materials. Ever since he read the ancient books in Wei's collection, he has been developing new medicines these days.
Xie Yu, who was next to him, saw this young couple spreading dog food again, and felt blocked for no reason. After struggling for a while, she picked up the Yunying Fiery Gun beside her and said, "There's still a while before dinner. I'll go practice shooting and then come back." Wei Cheng and Cai Yan lowered their heads to collect the herbs, and the two of them just nodded slightly and responded. .
Xie Yu looked back at the two of them, and finally stared at Wei Cheng, and said angrily: "I said I was going out." Wei Cheng raised his head to look at her after realizing it, and the setting sun fell on his handsome features. A refreshing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,
"Yes, I heard it. Go early and come back early. Let's have hot pot tonight, as well as scallion-flavored flower rolls." Cai Yan calmly lowered his head to wash the herbs, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and at the same time, there was a bit of sadness between his eyebrows. color.
As both women, how could she not know Xie Yu's thoughts? Knowing that her husband seemed...
"Master, there is an urgent message from Luoyang." Xu Ding hurried over at the gate of the courtyard, holding a letter with both hands.
Wei Cheng frowned slightly and motioned for him to bring it in. Xu Ding bowed his hands to Cai Yan and Xie Yu, then walked into the courtyard and handed the letter to Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng took the letter and after reading it for a while, he frowned and said, "This Cao Cao... is interesting..." This is a letter from Liu Bei.
The letter roughly stated that he had arrived in Luoyang, but he had not yet gone to find Dong Zhuo. Instead, he first visited his mentor Lu Zhi, and met Cao Cao at Lu Zhi's place. He learned that the Baibo Army was in rebellion in the east of the river, and Cao Cao claimed that he was willing to lead troops to help. Fight against the rebels.
The content is very simple, and there is no detailed description of the details of the conversation between the three people when they met. However, Wei Cheng, who knew the evolution of history, keenly discovered that Cao Cao had great ambitions and was in a worrying situation.
At this time, Dong Zhuo should be aggressively gathering military power. In addition to the military power under He Jin and Jian Shuo, he was also eyeing Yuan Shao, Cao Cao... and other strong men privately recruited from the former eight captains of Xiyuan.
It is almost at this time point in history, maybe a little later, but He Jin died a month earlier, so the timeline is obviously advanced.
When Ding Yuan was the first to stand up and shout slogans to challenge Dong, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others could not sit still, and could not watch the power and troops in their hands being taken away.
First, Yuan Shao left Luoyang in the name of fighting against the rebels, and then one after another others left. What Wei Cheng doesn't know now is whether the time and space he is in is the official history or the "Romance". If it is the official history, then Cao Cao will not stay to assassinate Dong Zhuo. There is someone else who assassinates Dong Zhuo. If it is the "Romance", then Cao Cao will assassinate Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo is still going to perform.
But now is not the time to dwell on this. Cao Cao, Cao Ahao, it doesn't matter if you meet him once. The corner of Wei Cheng's mouth slightly raised into a meaningful smile.
