Chapter 228
"Huang Huang Chengyan has a daughter who is seven feet tall, has yellow hair and a black face, and her nickname is 'The Ugly One'."
Guo Jia interjected,
"So tall, and yellow hair and a black face? That should be very hard to marry off."
Pang Tong nodded.
"The strategist is right. This Huang Huang Chengyan has already cried from worry about his daughter being unable to marry."
"I don't know where he heard that Kongming is handsome and talented, so he sent someone to test the waters, wanting Kongming to marry Huang Yueying."
"Kongming is naturally unhappy, but he can't offend Huang Huang Chengyan, as the Huang family has great influence in Jingzhou..."
Liu Bei finally understood.
Zhuge Zhang Liang was building his reputation in Longzhong, waiting for a wise master.
He hadn't expected to play it too far.
The wise master hadn't arrived yet, but a father-in-law had come to stuff an ugly woman at him, and he couldn't offend him.
In the end, for various reasons, he married Huang Yueying, but ran off to Nanyang to live separately.
Liu Bei nodded inwardly. No wonder Zhuge Zhang Liang and Huang Yueying had no children after marriage until he was forty-seven and had his son, Zhuge Zhan.
This naturally couldn't have been born by Huang Yueying, otherwise, she would be an extremely elderly mother.
Moreover, Zhuge Zhan's ability was mediocre.
Zhuge Zhang Liang's intelligence goes without saying.
Huang Yueying was also extremely intelligent, a great inventor who invented the repeating crossbow and the wooden ox and flowing horse, etc.
That two such good genes would produce such a mediocre child? It didn't seem realistic.
"No, no, she's so ugly, my Big Brother cannot sacrifice himself! Someone like Lady Cai, the greatest beauty in Jingzhou, would be more like it!"
Zhang Fei hurriedly defended Liu Bei.
Pang Tong was speechless.
"General Zhang, I didn't want the Lord to sacrifice himself like that..."
Liu Bei couldn't think of a good method for the time being either.
"In that case, Pang Shiyuan, help me send an invitation. I will visit Huang Huang Chengyan tomorrow."
"Yes!"
At noon the next day,
Liu Bei went to the Cai residence first.
Lady Cai took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to look at Liu Bei with affectionate eyes; the passion in her eyes could hardly be concealed.
Liu Bei performed acupuncture on her first and massaged her acupoints.
"Hmm, hmm."
Lady Cai groaned softly.
Liu Bei?? He was treating her illness seriously, but this Lady Cai was being a bit improper!
"Lord Liu Xuande, your massage is truly good."
Lady Cai's eyes were like silk, and her swan-like neck was red.
Liu Bei thought to himself,
"This Lady Cai is definitely an interesting soul!"
"Brother Brother Jingsheng, I have definitely saved you; otherwise, how many years less would you have lived?"
Liu Bei, who had done a good deed but was thanked by no one, felt somewhat sorrowful.
Lady Cai sent the maid away and threw herself into Liu Bei's arms, saying coquettishly,
"Lord Liu Xuande~"
Liu Bei looked at the luscious Lady Cai and naturally didn't speak, but took a fierce bite!
The two whispered some secrets.
The maid entered and was stunned.
"Ah! Mistress, your face is so red, and your forehead is so hot!"
Liu Bei coughed.
"No matter, it is just a recurrence of the illness; she will be fine after a rest."
The maid praised him.
"Lord Liu Xuande's medical skills are truly superb! Not only is the mistress's illness much better, but her mood has also improved."
Lady Cai secretly threw a few more flirtatious glances at Liu Bei.
The livestream chat was full.
"Damn, watching this makes my blood boil!"
"This Lady Cai is truly a little enchantress!"
"The Big-Eared Thief has found a treasure."
"As for Liu Biao's physique, forget it; even eating wolfberry as a meal wouldn't work!"
After the maid left, Liu Bei secretly gave Lady Cai a chicken leg.
"Lord Liu Xuande, you are truly good to me."
Lady Cai's eyes were like silk, luscious and alluring.
Liu Bei felt that if he came a few more times, he would be pushed back by this Lady Cai.
"She's determined to trap me."
Liu Bei left the Cai residence, returned to the guesthouse, and had Lady Ding Yuan cup him to remove the dampness.
Afterwards,
he took Pang Tong, Guo Jia, and the others to Huang Huang Chengyan's house.
The Huang residence occupied a vast area, showing the wealth of the Huang family.
"Lord Liu Xuande being able to come to my residence truly makes my humble home shine."
Huang Huang Chengyan was radiant and toasted Liu Bei.
Liu Bei smiled.
"Brother Huang Chengyan is a famous scholar of Jingzhou; your talent and integrity are worthy of our generation's study. I have come presumptuously, so please forgive me."
Huang Huang Chengyan repeatedly said he didn't dare; how could he compare to the world-shaking Lord Liu Xuande!
Everyone drank and toasted, the host and guests having a great time.
Huang Huang Chengyan and the others were already tipsy.
Liu Bei got up to go to the restroom. He arrived at the backyard.
The chat increased significantly.
"The Big-Eared Thief is going to the restroom halfway through again!"
"Huang Huang Chengyan's house only has an ugly woman; Big-Eared Thief, you aren't picky!"
"Be careful of being pushed back by the ugly woman this time!"
"Could it be that Liu Bei is going to sacrifice himself to gain Kongming's defection?"
Liu Bei found that the courtyard was piled with many wooden dogs and wooden oxen.
He walked over to take a look.
"Hey, the workmanship is truly exquisite. Could this Huang Yueying be a descendant of the Mohists?"
A crisp female voice rang out.
"Lord Liu Xuande, are you also interested in these wooden dogs and wooden oxen?"
Liu Bei turned to look. A woman about one meter seventy-five tall was staring at him intently.
"Yellow hair and a black face? Deep-set eyes, three-dimensional features. Is this Huang Yueying mixed-race?"
Liu Bei found that Huang Yueying's features were actually quite beautiful; it was just that her skin was bad, her skin was black, and her hair was a rare yellow. No wonder she was called 'The Ugly One'.
Huang Yueying realized something and bowed hurriedly.
"The Ugly One has startled Lord Liu Xuande; please forgive me!"
Liu Bei smiled.
"The young lady is graceful, tall, and long-legged, with three-dimensional features and quite a beautiful appearance. Why do you call yourself 'The Ugly One'?"
Huang Yueying??
