I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Chapter 147: The Reason for a Good Face

Looking at the ugly, ghost-like thing in the mirror, Zeng Qianer screamed in surprise.

"Hua'er, I'm so embarrassed! How can I face him in the future? I just confidently said in front of Zhou Huaizhi that I am beautiful and cute, but who is the person in the mirror? How can I be so ugly?"

"Madam, it's not ugly, it's just that the face is a little gray, the clothes have a few holes, the hair looks a bit like a chicken coop, and a lot of the beads on the hairpin have fallen off! Fortunately, there are still two beads that haven't fallen off and are still hanging in the hair."

"You're still talking! I don't want to see the ugliness in the mirror. Help me clean my face quickly. I want to take a shower. Oh! I'm so embarrassed. Ah, ah, ah! I'm going to die!"

Zhou Huaizhi was standing outside the door, listening to her cute cries in the house, with a slight smile on his face, "Qian'er, you finally have a business like you did ten years ago, and it's no longer dull."

……

"Madam, our packages are missing. Maybe someone stole them in the chaos. The clothes, jewelry, and silver inside are gone."

"Ah? Then what should I wear after taking a bath? This outer garment is torn. I can wear my inner garment tomorrow after washing it, but I can't go back in my inner garment!"

"Mr. Zhou has instructed that you can wear his clothes first and buy a new set of clothes tomorrow."

"...Okay then!" Wearing his clothes? It always feels a bit awkward.

"Madam, you seem to be much more beautiful today."

"How is that possible? Wasn't I beautiful before yesterday?"

"They are all beautiful! But tonight, your skin is as white as when you were eighteen, and all those little spots are gone."

"Oh? It seems so! The spots on my hands are gone too. The antidote of this miracle doctor is really amazing. My second and youngest sisters are the best to me. They were able to find me the rare elixir in the world."

Which woman doesn't love beauty? The more Zeng Qianer looked in the mirror, the more satisfied she became. Wow! Her skin and figure were obviously better than when she was 18 years old.

"Well, you are so lucky to meet the general's wife and the princess of Derong County. Mr. Zhou has already set the table in the side hall. Please go out and have your meal!"

"That's right. Okay. I'm so hungry now that I can eat a cow. Hua'er, this dress is a little big and the sleeves are too long. Fold it and tie it up, otherwise it will be inconvenient to eat later."

After everything was packed up, the master and servant walked towards the side hall, one after the other.

Zhou Huaizhi kept looking at the door of the side hall, wondering if the girl would not come to eat because she felt embarrassed just now.

Zeng Qian'er walked into the side hall with brisk steps. She felt fresh and light all over. Wearing men's clothes was even more comfortable and convenient. She could even walk with the wind.

From the moment Zeng Qianer came in, Zhou Huaizhi could no longer take his eyes off her.

Unexpectedly, she was dressed like a man and looked very fresh and refined. Without too many decorations, she was as pretty as a lotus flower emerging from the water. She didn't look like a mother at all. She looked just like a little girl.

Seeing her wearing his clothes, he felt a little shy and sweet in his heart, but he also felt that it was inappropriate for him to have such an idea.

Thinking of Cheng Rui, Zhou Huaizhi clenched his fists in his sleeves tightly, and then loosened them helplessly. Why didn't Cheng Rui cherish the person he cared about?

How could Zeng Qian'er not know Zhou Huaizhi's gaze? Although his gaze was sticky, it was not greasy or dirty. She did not feel uncomfortable, but even a little happy. Which woman doesn't like to be appreciated by a handsome man!

But I don’t hate him. Is it because he has a handsome face?

"Ahem, ahem, ahem! Why do you keep looking at me, Mr. Zhou? Am I too beautiful and have you bewitched by me?"

Zeng Qian'er wanted to make a joke to ease the strange atmosphere, but as soon as she opened her mouth she wanted to swallow back the words. How could she, a lady from a wealthy family, say such obscene words to a man other than her husband?

Oh! It's so embarrassing. Is there a crack in the ground for her to crawl into? I have to be careful with her mouth from now on. She has to think before she speaks.

"Indeed, Sister Zeng has always been incredibly beautiful, and I have long been fascinated by you. Come here! I know you are hungry, and you were frightened today, so eat more to replenish your body."

Zhou Huaizhi waited for Zeng Qianer to sit down and kept serving her food, but he himself didn't eat much.

When she heard Zhou Huaizhi say that he had been fascinated by her for a long time, her face turned red. Although Zhou Huaizhi was joking, she couldn't control her heart and it started beating wildly.

"Hey! Do you treat me like a pig? My bowl has become a small mountain. I don't want it. Give it back to you."

Zeng Qianer threw all the leftover food in her bowl back into Zhou Huaizhi's bowl.

Seeing that Zeng Qianer really couldn't eat anymore, Zhou Huaizhi picked up his chopsticks and ate all the food she threw into the bowl.

Zeng Qianer's face turned even redder. She didn't expect that he didn't mind the food thrown into his bowl and ate it all. She used her chopsticks to pick up the food!

"You, don't eat it, eat something else!"

"Why can't we eat this? They are all the same."

"........."

She wanted to say different.

"I want to go back."

"It's too late now. It's not safe. The driver is injured and can't drive. I'll take you back tomorrow. I've already notified the General's Mansion and told them to play in Qingshui Town for a day and go back tomorrow."

"Ah? Oh, thank you! I, I'm done eating. I'll go back to the house first."

Zeng Qian'er didn't want to stay with Zhou Huaizhi for a moment. She used to love making fun of him and treating him like his younger brother, but today was too abnormal. Not only was she abnormal, but Zhou Huaizhi was also abnormal. She should spend less time with him in the future.

Looking at Zeng Qianer who was fleeing in panic, Zhou Huaizhi's lips curled up slightly, and then he just let out a soft sigh.

"Master, Wang Jiu refused to confess and was tortured for a long time. He is really a tough guy."

"I know, I'll go take a look."

The dungeon was surprisingly dark and eerie in this hot summer day, and the smell of blood was so strong that it made people want to vomit. Wang Jiu, who was tied to a pillar, was covered in blood and was dying.

"Master Jiu, right? I never thought that the famous secret guard Commander Wang would end up like this."

"You investigated me? Who are you?"

"Do you remember what you did in Qingshui Town ten years ago? You were still a nobody at that time. In order to gain face in front of Xiao Shen, you made all the students who did not submit to Xiao Shen disappear.

I am the one who escaped the net among those students who refused to surrender. How about that? Pretending to be a bandit and killing people is a tried and tested trick, right? "

"Ten years ago? I, your grandfather, have killed more people than anyone you know. Who the hell would remember who you are? You should be thankful that I, your grandfather, am merciful and have spared your life if you can't even die."

"Merciful? Hahaha! Wang Jiu, you have finally become a commander, you are really promising! The scar on your face was left three years ago! What a pity, there should have been two scars crossing each other, but you avoided the other one."

"It's you! That person turned out to be you. Who are you? Who are you?"
