In Cai Yong's room.
After all, the three old men were getting older. Although their tempers were still as irritable as before, they lost all their strength even after a little effort. In the end, they just sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Huh...huh...Zhang Boxen, if you don't give me an explanation today, there is no way you can walk out of this door."
Cai Yong pointed at Zhang Wen's nose and panted.
Looking at Zhang Wen again, he described it as extremely miserable. His clothes had been torn in the fight just now, and a lot of his beard had been cut off. The crown on his head was missing. His hair was disheveled, and he still had two big panda eyes.
The one on the left was made by Cai Yong, and the one on the right was given by Xun Shuang.
Although he had led the army for more than ten years and decided the lives of tens of thousands of people with one word, he could not withstand the sneak attacks of two old men who did not respect martial ethics.
Explain, what else is there to explain!
Zhang Wen said angrily: "I just said that marriage between your two families is the right way. Marriage has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Xun Ciming's side was only agreed to by Ziyi in private, so how can he do it? number?"
"This..." Cai Yong heard a trace of hesitation in his eyes, "Is this really true?"
"After all, I am a prince of the dynasty, how can I lie to you!"
Seeing that Cai Yong still didn't believe it, Zhang Wen felt a sense of aggrieved deep in his heart.
Even if you two beat me, you still dare to question my character!
Hearing this, Cai Yong stood up quickly, dusted himself off twice, smiled again on his face, and even stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Wen.
"Brother Boshen, I just misunderstood, I misunderstood..."
I misunderstood you, uncle!
I have never seen such a shameless person like you!
Zhang Wen knocked down Cai Yong's outstretched hand angrily, and stood up by himself.
Seeing that they were about to get back together, Xun Shuang on the side gave up.
"No matter how good you two are, it doesn't matter. Isn't it possible that Zhang Ziyi will listen to you?"
When Xun Shuang fled Luoyang, although he didn't get along much with Zhang Heng, he could see that Zhang Heng was a very independent person.
"Humph, I and his parents are both here, why shouldn't he listen to the important matter of marriage!" Zhang Wen said with pride on his face.
Xun Shuang smiled disdainfully, "Of course the elders have the final say in matters of marriage, but my Xun family's marriage to Liu Xuande is a major matter for the family and the country. Can't Zhang Ziyi understand the importance?"
Hearing this, Zhang Wen was suddenly startled, with a look of hesitation on his face.
He knew his nephew's temperament very well. It's easy to talk about personal matters, but when it comes to official matters, even his own father can't do it.
"Well, it's all my fault that the Xun family has so many talented people and so many heroes in our clan." Xun Shuang shook his head and sighed, "Liu Xuande wanted to attract my Xun family to help him, so he naturally married me."
Seeing his arrogant look, Cai Yong and Zhang Wen wanted to strangle him to death.
"So what if you, Mr. Xun, are you superior to others?" Cai Yong said angrily.
"I can't say that I am superior to others, but Zhang Ziyi wants to recruit me, the Xun family. He has to marry my daughter whether he wants to or not!"
Xun Shuang stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Cai Yong with pride, his brows and eyes full of provocation.
I have the entire Xun family as a dowry, what do you have!
"I……"
Cai Yong wanted to refute Xun Shuang, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he had nothing to say, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
I am alone, with only reputation but no capital. With the current situation of Liu Bei Group, any fool knows who to choose.
Zhao Ji, my father can’t help you!
Seeing Cai Yong's sad expression, Zhang Wen couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, he was the one who proposed the marriage to Cai Yong.
"Brother Ciming, I have a way to get the best of both worlds." Zhang Wen cupped his hands to Xun Shuang and said, "Let your concubine be married to Liu Xuande, and brother Bozhe's daughter be married to Ziyi. In addition, I will choose a concubine from your Xun family. My daughter is a concubine to Liu Xuande. In this way, wouldn’t it be wonderful if both of your families are married to Liu Xuande!”
When Cai Yong heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, this method is wonderful!"
But Xun Shuang shook his head simply, "I think it's inappropriate."
"Why?" Zhang Wen asked puzzled.
"Zhang Boxen, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?" Xun Shuang frowned and said, "In these troubled times, Liu Xuande, as a member of the imperial family, will definitely be crowned king if he makes great achievements in the future. Even... it is not impossible. I don't want to My own daughter is involved in the palace dispute."
"Then you marry your niece to Liu Xuande again?"
"With my descendants of the Xun family here, I am not afraid that my niece will not be favored." Xun Shuang stroked his beard and said proudly.
Zhang Wen:......
Faced with Xun Shuang's obvious double standards, the two old men were completely speechless.
"Then let's switch it over. Brother Bozhe's daughter will marry Liu Xuande, and your concubine will marry Ziyi." Zhang Wen suggested again.
Xun Shuang still shook his head, "That's not right. The marriage has been decided, so how can we go back on our word? Besides, my Xun family's legitimate daughter and Liu Xuande are a match made in heaven."
Good guy, you want it, you want it, you want it, and you want it!
I want everything but shamelessness.
Cai Yong was so angry with Xun Shuang that he could not speak. He only looked at Zhang Wen with cold eyes.
Zhang Wen suddenly felt guilty, "Brother Bozhe, Ciming insists on doing this, and I can't help it. Since you are eager to marry a daughter, why not find a good match for your wife from among the Xun family's children?"
"Okay, Brother Bozhe's daughter is a virtuous and virtuous man. This time, I, the Xun family, will take the lead!" This time, Xun Shuang agreed readily, even before Cai Yong could speak.
"Xun Ciming, you are going too far!" Cai Yong was immediately furious. At the same time, he turned to Zhang Wen and cursed, "Old man, who said I am in a hurry to marry a daughter!"
…
Yingyin County Fair.
Shopping with a beauty is a pleasant thing to do, not to mention that this beauty is the one he likes, Zhang Heng is happy from the bottom of his heart.
It's just that... Xun Cai had a cold temperament and couldn't say a word for a long time. Zhang Heng wanted to start talking, but didn't know where to start, so the two sides fell silent, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.
When I didn’t time travel, I read cool stories. When the hero and heroine were shopping, there would always be prostitutes who came out to tease them, so that the hero could show off his talents, save the beauty as a hero, and finally capture the beauty’s heart.
But when it comes to myself, the script doesn't follow the routine. Not to mention gangsters and disciples, even passers-by on the street looked respectful and restrained when they saw the two of them. They didn't even dare to get close, let alone tease them.
In fact, this is normal. Looking at the clothes of Zhang Heng and Xun Cai, as well as the attendants and maids following behind them, they knew that they were either rich or noble. The people were afraid of offending the two, so they walked around.
Therefore, Zhang Heng did not get the opportunity to show off his talents.
Alas, the real world is so boring.
Just when Zhang Heng was bored, Xun Cai stopped in front of a shop.
Zhang Heng turned around and saw a shop selling rouge and gouache, and couldn't help but laugh.
Sure enough, no woman can resist the temptation of beauty, even Xun Cai is no exception.
Zhang Heng secretly smiled in his heart, but said: "Why, do you want to buy some powder?"
Xun Cai nodded, his beautiful eyes thoughtful.
They are getting married again, and they are marrying off their daughter. Although this Zhang Shixiong is a generous gentleman, he still has to dress up beautifully to win his favor and avoid his daughter suffering in the future.
Zhang Heng didn't know what Xun Cai was thinking, so he thought he had found an opportunity to show off. He immediately waved his sleeves and said with a heroic smile: "Then let's go in. Just take whatever the lady likes, and I'll pay the bill!"
Hearing this, Xun Cai suddenly smiled.
"In that case, thank you very much, brother." Xun Cai nodded and said, "Brother, you don't have to be so outspoken, just call me to express my name."
Zhang Heng nodded, waved and said: "Nv Xun, please!"
Entering the store, Xun Cai began to choose makeup, but Zhang Heng frowned slightly as he looked at it.
Xun Cai noticed Zhang Heng's expression and couldn't help asking: "Brother, do you think it's inappropriate?"
"No, no." Zhang Heng hurriedly shook his head and smiled, "Powder and makeup are naturally excellent for decoration. But this kind of flattering makeup was first created by the enchantress Sun Shou, and I don't like it very much. Nv Xun is naturally beautiful. Why use such vulgar powder?"
The so-called Sun Shou was the wife of Liang Ji, a famous cake-making master in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the domineering general.
This man was a villain, ruthless, greedy, extravagant and cruel, and brought trouble to the government and the public. He even brought his own husband, Liang Ji, who had power over the government and the public, into submission.
And this woman also invented a makeup technique, which is called Mei Shao. It is a combination of frown, cry, pony bun, bent steps, carious smile and other movements and gestures.
To put it bluntly, it is to let women pretend to be weak and sick, and at the same time put on charming makeup, so as to arouse the protective desire in men's hearts.
Although Sun Shou was a temptress, this makeup became popular all over the world after she committed suicide out of fear of crime. To this day, women regard this as their beauty.
This kind of charming makeup does not require high makeup skills, but it has extremely strict requirements for appearance.
Just imagine a woman dressed in a frail manner, and then when she opens her mouth, she spits out fragrance, and there is no sense of beauty left.
The reason why Zhang Heng frowned was because he hated Sun Shou, the founder, but not because he had any objection to Xun Cai.
Unexpectedly, when Xun Cai heard this, he threw away all the makeup and powder that he had just selected, and then selected some makeup for light makeup.
Afterwards, the two of them strolled around the market again, and Zhang Heng accompanied Xun Cai to buy clothes, spices and other household items for his daughter.
Zhang Heng has never been interested in these things. Even if the beauty is around, he can't help but feel a little irritated after walking around for a long time, but he can't show it.
When the two of them finished buying clothes and walked out of the store, Zhang Heng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Because not far in front, there was a little girl who looked to be one or two years old, as if she was a girl of pink and jade, jumping and playing by herself.
The summer was hot, but the little girl didn't mind the heat. She was running around and having fun by herself, and even her hair was stuck to her red face with sweat.
Seeing this, Zhang Heng couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe she was running too fast, and the little girl suddenly stumbled. Just when she was about to fall to the ground, Zhang Heng frowned and rushed forward to hold the little girl up.
"Little lady, you can't run so fast. I'm afraid you'll cry if you fall down."
This little doll was so cute that Zhang Heng couldn't help but stretch out his finger and scratch the girl's nose twice.
This move made the little girl giggle, revealing the baby teeth that had not yet fully grown in her mouth.
Seeing this, Zhang Heng smiled even happier.
Xun Cai behind him looked thoughtful when he saw this scene.
After a while, the little girl's mother came over, thanked Zhang Heng and took the girl away.
Zhang Heng's eyes followed them until the two of them disappeared into the crowd, and then Zhang Heng put away the smile on his face.
Xun Cai walked up and asked, "Brother, do you like female dolls?"
"Yes, it made Nv Xun laugh." Zhang Heng said with a casual smile.
Let me ask, who can resist a coquettish human cub?
Just this seemingly casual sentence made Xun Cai feel a surge of warmth in his heart, and his eyes towards Zhang Heng became a little warm.
