Chapter 59: Two Jin of Rouge
On the bustling street, Liu Hong and Lu Jianjia walked arm in arm, looking at this one moment and that the next.
Following behind the two women, Liu Chen wanted to curse out of sheer frustration.
After the grand battle between the Liu Clan and the Jiefu Gang, the massive courtyard was left in utter ruin. Houses needed to be rebuilt, people’s spirits needed reassuring, and the Liu Clan’s younger generation and promising guards required training.
There was a mountain of work to be done, yet as an elder, he was trailing after two women while they went shopping?
Wasn’t this a complete waste of time!
“Sir, how about one? Steamed buns, hot right out of the pot.”
The vendor handed over a piping-hot steamed bun. Only then did Liu Chen realize he hadn’t eaten, so he casually grabbed it and took a bite.
“Mm, tastes pretty good. Give me twenty of them.”
“Coming right up~”
The vendor packed twenty buns, each as large as the mouth of a bowl, filling the bag to the brim.
Holding the large bag of steamed buns, Liu Chen followed behind Lu Jianjia and Liu Hong, eating as he walked.
After walking for a while, the two women entered a rouge shop.
Liu Chen stood at the entrance, watching with sheer boredom.
Heh, women—if it wasn’t rouge, it was face powder.
The sound of horse hooves approached from afar, and seven women on horseback caught his attention.
Each of the seven horses had a knife scar across its face, and a strip of red silk embroidered with golden peonies hung across its back.
