Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow
Chapter 190: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 70
Jiang Yueshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "But if that's the case, wouldn't the streets be full of rumors tomorrow about Miss Jiang and a masked man going out on the street?"
"Ah? Sorry, sorry, I didn't think that much!" Liu Jingxing was even more embarrassed, with sweat even on his forehead. He hurriedly took out another veil.
"I... have one more thing. I was thinking that if you don't want to wear a veil, then I'll wear it. If you want to wear it, that's fine too." Liu Jingxing explained nervously.
"Okay, then I'll wear it too." Jiang Yueshu smiled.
Liu Jingxing was no longer nervous and quickly handed the veil to Jiang Yueshu's maid.
After Jiang Yueshu also put on the veil, he looked at the veils that were exactly the same style and felt happy.
On the way, Jiang Yueshu saw some interesting and novel things, and before the maid could pay, Liu Jingxing paid for them immediately.
Jiang Yueshu didn't want to argue with him on the street, so she looked at him without saying anything and planned to give it to him when they had dinner later.
The two of them had lunch at Fuxianglou. The food here tasted good and many dignitaries would come here to eat. Jiang Yueshu had already bought the restaurant with money early on.
Liu Jingxing ate his meal while observing Jiang Yueshu's preferences quietly.
When Jiang Yueshu put down her chopsticks, he also put down his chopsticks.
"Mr. Liu, is it working?" Jiang Yueshu asked.
"Yeah." Liu Jingxing replied.
"Lu Ping, go and pay the bill!"
Just as Lu Ping was about to take action, Liu Jingxing quickly glanced at the servant who was closer to the door.
The waiter understood and hurried out to pay the bill.
Jiang Yueshu: "......"
She had no choice but to signal Lu Ping to bring the silver. "Mr. Liu, you saved me last time in Yun Mansion, and you paid me for the trip today. I really can't afford it. Why don't you accept this banknote?"
Jiang Yueshu said as she pushed the banknote to the other side.
Liu Jingxing hurriedly refused and pushed the banknote back.
"No, that was just a piece of cake. Today, we are hosting Miss Jiang Er warmly for my sister. My mother knows that the elders in the Jiang Mansion are very kind-hearted. When she met them today, she naturally wanted to show them some kindness. Miss, don't worry. My sister thinks so too."
The two of them pushed the issue back and forth, and Liu Jingxing always found a perfect reason to refuse.
Jiang Yueshu really felt that the man in front of her was very contradictory, smart yet rigid. When he rescued her from the water that day, he knew to use a stick to separate the two of them, but today he refused to accept her thank-you gift. It was really strange!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yueshu's expression suddenly changed. She frowned slightly and touched her lower abdomen.
"Excuse me, Master Liu, I need to go to the bathroom!"
Liu Jingxing's face instantly turned red again. He avoided Jiang Yueshu's gaze, not daring to look her in the eye, and spoke in a soft voice.
"It's okay, Miss, go to the bathroom first. I'll wait here."
Jiang Yueshu winked at the maid, and they left in a flash, leaving only Liu Jingxing and his servants in the box.
"Go back. Lu Ping, go tell the shopkeeper to go to the box and talk to Master Liu in a quarter of an hour."
Liu Jingxing was thinking about something with a dull look in his eyes, not noticing the passage of time at all.
After he finished recalling his encounter with Jiang Yueshu, he felt that a long time had passed. He felt uneasy, afraid that something might have happened to Jiang Yueshu, and kept asking about the time.
Seeing that it was almost a quarter of an hour and Jiang Yueshu had not returned yet, Liu Jingxing was about to find someone to inquire about her when he heard a knock on the door.
He thought it was Jiang Yueshu who came back, so he quickly stopped the servant who wanted to open the door, strode forward, and opened the door with a smile.
When the door opened, it was a strange middle-aged man.
"Sir, the lady in the same box with you asked me to come and tell you that she had something to do at home, so she left first."
"Ah?" Liu Jingxing was a little disappointed. Suddenly, he ran to the table quickly, picked up the silver bill on the table and stared blankly.
After that, Liu Jingxing somehow found out that Jiang Yueshu liked reading, so he began to pay attention to some rare books and miscellaneous notes intentionally or unintentionally. Whenever he accumulated some, he would send them to Jiang Yueshu's residence through his sister.
Since her brother had accepted the banknote from Jiang Yueshu, Liu Jingyan was naturally happy to help.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yueshu looked at the man walking towards her.
The man was wearing a sky blue brocade robe and his hair was carefully combed. Jiang Yueshu looked at the man's face with slight surprise.
"Your face..."
Liu Jingxing covered it up with a guilty conscience, "Miss Jiang Er, I've been trying to improve my skin tone recently."
He applied it specifically according to the skin color of the Marquis of Loyalty. Although he looked down on that man, he was the one Jiang Yueshu had been engaged to before, so she probably wouldn't reject it.
Jiang Yueshu took a look at the small area of Liu Jingxing's neck that was exposed without any concealment. The skin color was still the slightly darker color as before, but his face was naturally white.
"What's that on your face?" she asked suddenly.
"Ah? What?" Liu Jingxing nodded on his face in a panic.
Jiang Yueshu took a special look at his hand. It was clean and there was nothing on it.
"It looks good. I wonder how you maintain it?" Jiang Yueshu seemed interested.
Liu Jingxing was a little flustered and tried to explain haltingly.
"No, excuse me, Miss. This is just a way to hide my identity. I recently found a strange man who said he could change his appearance, so I asked him to slightly cover up my previous skin color."
Liu Jingxing was a little afraid to look directly into Jiang Yueshu's eyes. As a grown man, talking like this was almost like putting on makeup. He was afraid that she would laugh at him.
Jiang Yueshu's eyes lit up. What a coincidence! She was looking for such a person and unexpectedly found him.
"Look at this." She unfolded the page she had folded earlier and showed it to Liu Jingxing.
"Yes, that's what the street performers say, but I've never seen one in person, so I'm not sure." Liu Jingxing was a little uncertain.
"Could you please introduce me to Mr. Liu?" Jiang Yueshu asked directly.
"Okay, I'll ask the servant to go and invite him. He has been staying at the mansion these days because of my business."
......
The two waited for a long time, and then a middle-aged man with long, messy hair and untidy beard came in.
"Master Wang, come here and sit down." Liu Jingxing greeted him hurriedly.
Master Wang looked at Jiang Yueshu thoughtfully, then looked at Liu Jingxing with a strange expression. Liu Jingxing avoided Master Wang's silent teasing with red ears.
"Master Wang, I have something to talk to you about today. Is the skill you mentioned earlier true?"
"Of course it's true! Boy, I've told you many times, why don't you believe it! Apart from anything else, don't you have a pale face..." Master Wang glared at Liu Jingxing with his beard puffed out.
Seeing this, Liu Jingxing quickly covered his mouth with his hand and muttered something.
"I believe it! But my friend has never seen it, so I have to ask her about it."
"Okay!" He spoke proudly after Liu Jingxing let go of Master Wang.
After all, he was a craftsman who made a living by earning money. This silly boy had a lot of money, so he just asked.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you guys?"
Jiang Yueshu then spoke, "Hello, Master Wang. I have heard that you are very talented. I am a little ignorant, so I want to see you. I will give you some money."
Master Wang looked at this polite woman and responded in a gentle voice.
"Of course you can! But you have to go back home to get my tools. I left them behind today."
Liu Jingxing immediately cooperated and arranged for someone to go back and get it.
Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them moved to Fuxiang Tower, and Liu Jingxing cleverly paid the money in advance.
After the three of them had finished their meal and the tool box was in place, Master Wang began to demonstrate his unique skills. He selected a servant beside Liu Jingxing and Lu Ping.
After carefully observing Lu Ping, he began to tinker with the servant, and everyone watched attentively.
In less than half an hour, everyone at the scene was stunned, looking carefully at the two people in front of them who looked 80% similar to each other.
If it weren't for the different heights and shapes of the two people, they would hardly be able to tell who was who if they only looked at their faces.
It was clear that she was a servant not long ago, but with Master Wang's skillful hands, the servant looked like Lu Ping wearing men's clothes.
Two people who looked like Lu Ping stood opposite each other, one of them holding a bronze mirror. They looked at the face in the mirror in surprise and at each other in surprise.
Jiang Yueshu marveled at Master Wang's miraculous skills and bowed respectfully.
"Master Wang is really skilled. I have a business that I would like to discuss with you."
Master Wang stroked his messy beard and laughed, "Okay, okay."
"Master Wang is very knowledgeable. Does he know any ventriloquist?"
"Well!" Master Wang pondered, "I was lucky enough to have met him once, but that was a long time ago. It will take some effort to find him right now."
Jiang Yueshu's eyes lit up. It turned out to be the right decision to meet Liu Jingxing today!
"It's okay, Master Wang, just tell me what you need, and I will definitely cooperate!"
"Yes, yes, I can help too!" Liu Jingxing interrupted.
"Okay, thank you all very much!" Jiang Yueshu bowed to express his gratitude.
After the three of them had agreed, they parted ways. Jiang Yueshu entered the Marquis's Mansion several more times under the identity of Zhang Qinglin's medicine boy. After selecting her target, she specially arranged for a painter with excellent painting skills to accompany her. In this way, she painted the appearance of the Marquis's personal maid.
After handing the painting to Master Wang for review, she waited for news from Liu Jingxing with peace of mind. At the same time, she planned a replacement plan in her mind and made arrangements for the spies in the Marquis' Mansion to ensure that her plan was foolproof.
Fortunately, the wait didn't take long. After only five or six days, Liu Jingxing brought a petite woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was the famous ventriloquist, Mrs. Cen.
Everything was ready, and Jiang Yueshu's plan began.
The next day, it was the day when the Marquis's Mansion invited doctors to take the Marquis's wife's pulse.
Zhang Qinglin followed three medicine boys carrying medicine boxes as usual, and led by servants, he headed towards the marquis's courtyard.
Before he started taking the patient's pulse, a young medicine boy suddenly covered his stomach and cried out in pain.
He bent over uncomfortably, his face slightly pale, and spoke to Haitang, the Marquis's personal maid.
"Auntie, I have a stomachache. Can I..."
"It's okay, Lexi, go and lead Doctor Zhang's medicine boy to the outside." Haitang casually pointed a maid out.
Le Xi responded and led the medicine boy out.
As they were almost at the toilet, the medicine boy behind them glanced around casually, and seeing that there was no one around, he quickly patted Lexi on the back of the neck.
Lexi fell down limply, and the medicine boy quickly helped her up and found a fake cave to hide her in.
She immediately took the medicine boy's clothes that had been prepared in advance in the rockery and put them on, then listened carefully to the movements around her.
After a while, two more footsteps were heard slowly.
The medicine boy played by Jiang Yueshu quickly greeted the two of them.
The other two medicine boys also looked around and then quickly flashed into the rockery.
Master Wang quickly changed Lexi's appearance. The other medicine boy took off his outer coat, revealing the same clothes as Lexi.
Jiang Yueshu stood a little further away from the two of them, always paying attention to the movements around the rockery.
In preparation for today's plan, Master Wang processed Master Cen's face in advance before entering the mansion in order to save time.
So after a while, Lexi and Yao Tong successfully exchanged identities.
The three of them looked at each other, and Lexi bowed and quietly left the fake cave.
Jiang Yueshu pricked Lexi with a silver needle, and Lexi slowly woke up. When she was about to scream in fear, she found that she could not make any sound and her body was weak.
"Miss Lexi, I need your help. If you don't agree, I won't be able to use my needle!"
Jiang Yueshu was holding a silver needle and pointing it at Lexi's neck.
Seeing this, Le Xi nodded hurriedly and laboriously.
The three of them then returned to the courtyard where the Marquis's wife was, with Jiang Yueshu supporting Le Xi.
She looked at the people who were looking at her awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I have diarrhea and I feel a little weak."
There was a hint of disdain in everyone's eyes, and they moved away from the two without leaving a trace.
Seeing that the three people returned safely, Zhang Qingping's movements, which were originally intended to delay time, became faster. He waved his hand and handed over a prescription.
The four of them packed up their things and prepared to leave, and Haitang saw them off with a smile.
"Excuse me, doctor, please!"
"Thank you, Aunt Haitang. You took so much trouble!"
Jiang Yueshu responded before Zhang Qingping and met Haitang's eyes.
Haitang's eyes flickered, and she nodded imperceptibly.
......
A few days later, Zhang Qingping brought his medicine boy to check Madam Hou's pulse again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they successfully replaced the Marquis' wife, and Mrs. Cen lived in the Marquis' Mansion with the Marquis' wife's appearance.
With her unique ventriloquism skills and Master Wang's superb disguise skills, no one in the Marquis' Mansion had any doubts.
Jiang Yueshu provided closed-door treatment to Madam Hou, and news also came from the spies.
They secretly investigated the events of the past with the portrait of Marquis Zhongyi. There were indeed people near the border between the two countries who had an impression of him. They said that he had lived there for a period of time with a woman. At that time, the two did not often deal with outsiders, so the surrounding people had no idea of their identities. They only knew that they were a couple when they occasionally heard their conversations.
