The Three Kingdoms: Home Travel

After eating the dinner that Xiuer had prepared herself, Jiang Zhe squatted at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for Xiuer to come inside.

Knowing that Jiang Zhe had received a raise, tonight's dinner was much more lavish than usual. Xiu'er even went to the market to buy some pork, which would have been quite a treat in the past...

"Why isn't she coming out yet?" Jiang Zhe was getting anxious. He paced back and forth in the yard, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful white figure walking out of the house.

She wore a white women's dress, her waist-length hair was tied up in a married woman's style, and a wooden hairpin was attached to it. There was a hint of shyness on her fair face, but in comparison, her lips looked a little pale.

Jiang Zhe was amazed but also felt a little regretful. If only he had a lipstick. Right, it seems there was no lipstick in ancient times? What did they use?

"Does my husband think Xiuer is too slow?"

"No, I'm thinking about a problem," Jiang Zhe said.

"Oh?" Xiuer asked curiously.

"Um... what do you women put on your lips?" Jiang Zhe asked, pointing at Xiu'er's lips. Before he knew it, Xiu'er was walking over, and before he could stop himself, Jiang Zhe's index finger accidentally brushed against Xiu'er's lips, making the scene instantly ambiguous.

"Is my husband asking about Rouge (helplessly)?" Xiu'er lowered her head, then seemed to remember something and raised her head again to look at Jiang Zhe.

"Yes...yes!" Jiang Zhe awkwardly turned halfway around, looking at his index finger as if he was thinking about something.

"This man!" Xiu'er was both embarrassed and angry. She pouted and said, "Didn't my husband say he would accompany me to the market? If it gets late, the shops will be closed..."

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go then..."

Xiuer gracefully stepped forward, took Jiang Zhe's arm, and followed him out, falling half a step behind.

It wasn't very late yet, probably around five or six o'clock in the evening in later times.

As Jiang Zhe walked along the road, he felt the soft, delicate body beside him and suddenly became a little distracted. He felt that Xiu'er was too young, and Jiang Zhe was a homebody who had never had a girlfriend. Even though they were sleeping on the same bed at night, Jiang Zhe tried his best to lean against the outer edge of the bed.

During that period, Jiang Zhe was most prone to fantasies. Listening to the soft, even breathing beside him, Jiang Zhe was extremely nervous. He could only fall asleep after exerting all his strength to control himself. For a man, this was nothing short of torture.

"If only it were bigger..." Jiang Zhe muttered regretfully.

"What is it, my husband?" Jiang Zhe, who was walking beside her, asked out of the blue. Xiu'er was puzzled and blinked her eyes to ask.

"Uh, it's nothing, it's nothing..." Jiang Zhe was extremely embarrassed, thinking to himself, how could I tell you this? Should I say, "You are very pretty, but you're a bit too young"? That would make me feel awkward...

"Oh!" Xiu'er nodded as if she understood, then happily said, "Xiu'er is very happy today. It's been a long time since I've felt this way. Xiu'er is always alone..."

"I'll take care of you from now on!" Jiang Zhe gently stroked Xiu'er's cheek, which immediately turned red.

"My lord, you mustn't treat Xiu'er like this... We're on the street..." Xiu'er looked around shyly, then suddenly saw something and exclaimed in surprise, "What a handsome young man..."

"Saw a handsome guy?" Jiang Zhe felt a little jealous, but when he followed Xiu'er's directions, he immediately burst out laughing.

There, a very handsome young master-like figure was strolling around with a maid, looking left and right.

"Is Xiuer interested?" Jiang Zhe joked with Xiuer.

Unexpectedly, Xiu'er's expression changed, and she said in a deep voice, "Why do you say such a thing, my husband...?"

"I was just kidding, don't be angry, don't be angry." Jiang Zhe then remembered that such jokes were not allowed in ancient times, and immediately lost the desire to tease Xiu'er. He leaned down and whispered something in Xiu'er's ear.

Xiu'er's ear burned instantly when Jiang Zhe's breath touched it, but she couldn't care less about being shy. Her eyes wide with disbelief, she asked, "My husband said... said she's a woman?"

"Nonsense! If you don't even have an Adam's apple, what are you if not a woman?" Jiang Zhe said smugly. Unexpectedly, the handsome young man not far away heard this and his pink face immediately turned half red. It was hard to tell whether he was angry or ashamed. He just stared at Jiang Zhe fiercely.

"Afraid of you?!" Jiang Zhe rolled his eyes at him and turned around to give the fake young master the back of his head.

As Xiuer walked, she kept looking back at the person. It was actually a woman? She still couldn't quite believe it.

"That scoundrel is truly despicable!" the fake young master in the distance said viciously; she was indeed a woman.

"Young... young master, cough cough!" The maid beside him quickly reminded him.

"I'm so angry!"

Jiang Zhe led Xiu'er into a shop selling rouge and accessories (let's just say they exist, for no other choice). Xiu'er looked at the colors and her eyes showed some interest.

"What do you think of this color?" Jiang Zhe picked up a pinkish rouge.

"Sir, you have a good eye..." the shopkeeper said. "This kind of rouge is in very short supply right now. I only have three pieces left, and I've already sold two. This is the last one..."

"Tch! I've seen this kind of trick a lot in my later years," Jiang Zhe scoffed, ignoring the shop owner, and casually asked, "How much?"

"Three strings of cash!"

"Three strings of cash?" Jiang Zhe said "Oh," and did some mental calculations. It was more than a quarter of his salary. Well, women's things are very expensive. He was about to speak to Xiu'er when he noticed that Xiu'er had already put down the rouge.

"Why don't you give it a try?" Jiang Zhe asked curiously.

"Husband..." Xiu'er looked at Jiang Zhe, wanting to say that it was too expensive and not worth it, but seeing that there were outsiders present, she didn't want to embarrass Jiang Zhe, so she began to hesitate.

Jiang Zhe immediately understood Xiu'er's thoughts, and sighed inwardly. Such a woman is incredibly rare, even rarer than a giant panda in later generations. Mom, your son has found you an exceptionally good daughter-in-law, it's a pity you won't live to see it… Pshaw! Pshaw! May you be healthy and live a long life… Your son is doing alright here, don't be sad, don't worry…

"Try it!" Jiang Zhe placed the rouge in Xiu'er's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said in a tone that made it hard for Xiu'er to refuse.

"Then Xiuer will try..."

"Boss! I'll take that rouge! Xiao Zhao, pay up!" A discordant voice abruptly interrupted the young couple's tender moment.

Jiang Zhe turned his head angrily, thinking to himself, "Where did this rude kid come from? Doesn't he know how to queue? I haven't even put my things down yet, and you want to buy them? Are you even being reasonable?!"

Huh? When Jiang Zhe saw the person, he was dumbfounded. Wasn't this the girl who was dressed as a boy earlier?

"Hmph!" The "young master" instructed her maid to pay the bill, then walked up to Jiang Zhe without ceremony, snatched the rouge from Jiang Zhe's hand, and looked at him with a provocative gaze.

Jiang Zhe's face immediately turned red with anger.

Xiuer sniffed and smelled a faint fragrance. Upon closer inspection, she exclaimed, "Wow! It really is a woman?"

Jiang Zhe was furious when he saw that "young master" ignoring everyone else as he tried on the rouge in his hand!
