Liu Qi was thinking about how to deal with Huang Zhong's consent for Huang Zhong's craniotomy in Huang Zhong's absence, when he heard Huang Xu ask: "Butler, where is my mother? Why isn't she in the house?"
"Because the master is not at home, the madam went to the young lady's tailor shop." The old man who opened the door replied.
"So there is no need to close the door tightly in broad daylight?" Huang Xu asked again, looking at the deserted state of his own mansion, and comparing it to the mansion of the young master Liu Qi, he felt sad. After all, his father was also a high-ranking lieutenant general, so for
To treat my son's illness and reduce all necessary and unnecessary expenses, the guards and maids in the mansion were left with very few people. Even my sister Huang Wudie opened a tailor shop for several years to support the family.
Now, I can earn more and less to support my family.
"My master has told me not to have any contact with the outside world before I return to the house, but we can close the door day and night and wait for the master and the young master to return." The housekeeper in Huang Zhong's mansion replied calmly.
"Oh, since it's the master's order, then just do as the master said." Huang Xu felt helpless. If he didn't blame his bad life, it would be his bad illness.
Liu Qi heard clearly the conversation between Huang Xu and the housekeeper in the mansion. Just when he was worried that Huang Zhong was not in the mansion and thought that Mrs. Huang had gone to Jiangling with Huang Zhong, he learned that Mrs. Huang was still in the city, so Huang Xu's surgery was started.
It is also possible to obtain Mrs. Huang’s consent for the skull matter.
"Junior brother, General Huang is not in the mansion, and the housekeeper obeys the orders. Let's go see your mother now." Liu Qi still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, which was how to persuade Huang Zhong's wife to agree to Hua Tuo's surgery to open Huang Xu's head.
"Yes, senior brother, let's go." Huang Xu replied, and then said to the old man: "These dry foods and lean meat sausages are all given by senior brother. The housekeeper will take good care of them. My mother and sister will make more dishes when they return home.
, you should also take a supplement to enhance some nutrition."
"Yes, thank you very much, sir." Although the housekeeper in Huang Zhong's mansion did not carry a burden, he was still a person who knew etiquette. He gave Liu Qi a deep salute, and he could feel Liu Qi's care for the people in Huang Zhong's mansion, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Butler, you don't have to be polite. Master, I hope that the butler will take good care of you. Thank you for your hard work." Liu Qi also bowed to the older butler, then left Huang Zhong's house with Liu Zhong and Huang Xu, and led the way to Huang Zhong with Huang Xu.
My daughter Huang Wudie’s tailor shop.
After turning a few streets, we came to a bustling market, with archways lined with archways, wine flags waving, sellers selling candied haws, frozen rice candies, and windmills. All kinds of shouts filled our ears. It was so lively.
Liu Qi, who traveled through the Three Kingdoms, came to a busy city for the first time. It felt like he was traveling in a thousand-year-old ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River. It was quite novel. There were many people in the market, so the horse-drawn carriage ducked left and right and slowly arrived at a tailor shop. Liu Qi looked up and saw the door in the middle of the shop.
There is a wooden plaque with the words "Phoenixes and butterflies flying ready-made clothes shop" with seven large gold characters. There are people coming and going in and out of the door in twos and threes.
Huang Xu pointed to the store and said, "This is my sister Wudie's tailor shop. Senior brother, please come."
"Master Huang, is Miss Huang, the most famous tailor in Xiangyang City, your sister Huang Wudie?" Butler Liu Zhong asked, with a strange look in his eyes when he asked.
"Exactly, does the housekeeper know my sister?" Huang Xu was a little proud. It seems that his sister's tailor shop is very famous in Xiangyang City.
"Haha, we know each other, but I don't know that Miss Huang is General Huang's daughter. The cloth clothes on the young master were made by Miss Huang three years ago. Now they are still elegant and unique on the young master." Liu Zhong laughed loudly.
, smiled strangely at Liu Qi, as if to say, this is fate.
"Oh, I remember the housekeeper said that the clothes I'm wearing were made by Miss Huang three years ago. I've always wanted to meet her. Today is such a coincidence, so let's go in." Liu Qi was also surprised. He didn't expect this outfit on his body.
It was indeed fate that the decent clothes came from the hands of my junior sister. I suddenly felt an urgent desire in my heart to see who this most famous tailor lady in Xiangyang City was, and whether she was beautiful or not?
"Master, please." Liu Zhong, who was surprised, took a step back and made a gesture of invitation, asking Liu Qi to enter the room first, maintaining the dignity of the eldest son of Jingzhou who Liu Qi was ahead of others.
Liu Qi entered the tailor shop and saw dozens of pieces of ready-made clothes hanging in the shop. There was a counter at the bottom of the room. There was a dignified and simple woman sitting inside the counter and a woman of great beauty. That woman must be Huang Zhong's wife.
, the woman is Huang Zhong’s daughter Huang Wudie.
Liu Qi took a look at Huang Wudie intentionally. Sure enough, there were many beauties in the Three Kingdoms, but Huang Wudie's eyes were as big as jujubes, her hair was like clouds, her chest was as tall as a peak, and her figure was like an immortal. She couldn't be described as beautiful.
When Liu Qi saw Huang Wudie for the first time, her body and mind were moved. It would be a great blessing for such a beautiful woman to accompany her throughout the life of the Three Kingdoms.
Huang Xu ran over from afar and shouted: "Mother, sister."
Mrs. Huang was overjoyed when she saw Huang Xu entering the shop, thinking that Huang Xu's illness had been cured. She did not pay attention to Liu Qi and Liu Zhong, thinking that they were customers who came to the shop to order clothes.
"Xu'er, is the disease cured? Thank God." Mrs. Huang walked out of the counter and took Huang Xu's hand and looked at it non-stop.
Huang Wudie was very happy when she saw that it was Huang Xu. She raised her head and stood up and called: "Brother."
After saying a soft greeting, Huang Wudie's eyes fell on Liu Qi, who was tall, handsome, and quite a gentleman. His watery eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe the sets ordered by an old man carrying a piggyback three years ago.
Ready-made clothes made of high-end materials and made into ordinary people's clothes were actually worn on the body of the handsome young man in front of me, and the old man carrying a piggyback was actually here too.
Without waiting for Xu'er to answer Madam Huang's question, Liu Qi stepped forward and bowed to Huang Xu's mother: "Meet the Master."
Mrs. Huang was stunned for a moment, but she had heard Huang Zhong say a few days ago that he had accepted Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, as his disciple, Grand Duke Liu Qi, but she had never met him. When I saw him today, it turned out that he was really good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was very polite.
He said, and then thought of the large cart of red dates, food, and the rolls of silks, satins and brocades that could be used in the tailor shop and many other apprenticeship ceremonies. He was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "You are the eldest master.
Liu Qi?"
"It's my disciple who wishes to pay my respects to Master." Liu Qi paid his respects again.
Liu Qi was very humble, without any of the arrogance and arrogance of the eldest son. Mrs. Huang saw it and was very happy in her heart. She waved her hands repeatedly: "Young Master is so polite, so polite." She turned around and called her daughter Huang Wudie, very happy: "
Die'er, hurry up and meet the young master, this is your father's disciple, the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi."
"Young Master is polite." Huang Wudie put down the scissors and measuring ruler in his hands, walked over to Liu Qi, and congratulated Liu Qi. His voice was as sweet as drinking liqueur.
"Junior sister, you are polite." When Liu Qi returned the gift, his eyes met with Huang Wudie's, and their eyes were like lightning. Both of their hearts were shaken by the invisible electric wave in autumn.
Huang Wudie's face turned red, as red as the azalea all over the mountains and plains; Liu Qi's heart was soaring, and he was dizzy with happiness. It was over, Liu Qi was surprised by the strong premonition that the love at first sight in ancient legends was about to happen.
.
Time was stagnant, as if there were only two people in the world, Liu Qi and Huang Wudie. Mrs. Huang was very happy when she saw this scene. With a woman's intuition, her daughter who was good at riding and shooting in her spare time but had an arrogant and self-sufficient nature could finally marry.
Out.
Parents in the world always like to worry about their children's marriage. Huang Wudie, who was left with a leftover daughter at the age of 16 or 17, once said in anger that there was no man he could like in the seven counties of Jingxiang. Once, when Huang Xu's illness was not serious
, and still had some financial resources. In the past three or four years, the matchmaking process had reached the threshold, but Huang Wudie just couldn't find the right person. She kept putting it off again and again. Mrs. Huang was first anxious about her son's illness and secondly anxious about her daughter's wedding. Her hair turned a lot white.
Now Mrs. Huang doesn't have to worry. Judging from the slightly obsessed look on her daughter's face when she saw Liu Qi, it seems that this is possible. It's just that her daughter has fallen in love with Liu Qi, but it's hard to say whether the famous and promising eldest son Liu Qi likes his daughter.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Huang felt a little worried again.
"Die'er, go and get the young master a cup of tea." Seeing Huang Wudie still stunned, Mrs. Huang couldn't bear it anymore, and her face became cold. What if Liu Qi and her daughter were in trouble?
Did you miss your daughter’s life?
"Madam, you're welcome. I'm here today because of my junior brother's condition. Can you please help me?" Liu Qi was a little uncomfortable with Madam Huang's attitude of greeting her with a smile at first and then turning indifferent. She saw a small door on the inside of the counter, which seemed to have a
Liu Qi raised his steps first and made a gesture to go to the room.
Mrs. Huang saw Liu Qi's serious face and heard that he had come here again specifically for Huang Xu's condition. She did not dare to neglect and quickly responded: "Master, please come in."
Mrs. Huang led the way, and Liu Qi followed behind. Huang Wudie wanted to stop him when he saw this, but hesitated for a moment, but still did not say anything. He lowered his head and sat back at the counter to think. However, due to the visit of Liu Qi and his entourage, several people looked at the shop.
The clothes customers all left happily.
When Liu Qi and Mrs. Huang were walking around to the small room inside the counter, they faintly heard the housekeeper Liu Zhong and Huang Wudie chatting.
"Miss Huang is the rebirth of a female snail. She has never seen the young master three years ago, but she can sew such a decent garment. It is truly a heavenly garment. My young master is wearing the heavenly garment sewn by the young lady, and he is like a heavenly being descending to earth. It is really a strange and wonderful thing."
"The old man praised me, a good saddle and a good horse, a sword to be a hero. It is not a little girl's dexterity, but it all depends on the gentleman's dignified appearance..." Huang Wudie's voice came from behind.
"Haha, since ancient times, swords promise heroes, and beauties love heroes. Fate, fate..." Liu Zhong laughed wantonly again, as if he wanted Mrs. Huang and Liu Qi who were walking into the small room behind the counter to hear it.
.
When Liu Qi heard the conversation between Liu Zhong and Huang Diewu, her heart warmed up. This housekeeper Liu Zhong was a bit interesting. He killed four beautiful maids, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, to prevent women from getting close to Liu Qi. Now he seems to have taken the initiative to make a light bulb.
He wanted to talk about Huang Zhong's daughter Huang Diewu. Liu Qi knew clearly what was on Liu Zhong's mind. It was simply that Liu Zhong wanted to find a serious woman for Liu Qi, so as not to go shopping secretly when the time went by and he was unbearably lonely.
Fireworks are in the willow alley.
When Liu Qi was reminiscing about the interesting conversation between Liu Zhong and Huang Wudie behind him, the door to the small room inside the counter was opened. Mrs. Huang made an invitation gesture, and Liu Qi entered the small room inside.
Liu Qi looked around. The small room was not big, very simple but very neat. It had a single bed. There were some fabrics and tailoring tools neatly placed on the bed. There were several pieces of fabric that were given to Huang a few days ago.
Zhong's apprenticeship ceremony. There is a small table next to the bed, with two small stools beside the table. There is a delicate small curved bow hanging above the small table. It can be seen that Huang Zhong belongs to a family of bows and arrows, and his children never leave their bows and arrows.
Following Mrs. Huang into the room, Liu Qi quickly scanned the small room. When he lowered his head and crossed the small threshold, he found a small bamboo tube the size of a wastebasket in the corner of the door. In the bamboo tube was an incense ash bag with dark red blood stains on it. The sachet
It exudes a fishy smell of menstrual blood. I don’t know whether it was Mrs. Huang’s use or Huang Wudie’s menstruation.
Mrs. Huang also noticed the special smell of blood floating in the small room. She felt a little embarrassed and felt the need to explain. She calmly picked up a piece of leftover material from the table and covered it on the bamboo tube, making a pun.
He said: "My lord, please forgive me, but my daughter will stay in the boudoir."
