Chapter 360 Let’s go on a date
As soon as the parents left, the atmosphere in the private room became noticeably relaxed.
Seeing Gong Yuanzheng's expectant eyes, Zhang Xueming couldn't help but smile: [Wash your face first.]
She asked someone to bring hot water and new towels, dismissed the maid, and closed the doors and windows.
The two of them wiped each other's faces sweetly, kissed, hugged and cuddled each other, and after a while they tidied up their clothes and let Zhang Xueming use his golden needles to change their complexion.
They can't go out on the street without changing their faces, unless they want to be watched by people.
Zhang Xueming's face-changing skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, and he can complete it within five minutes. He can adjust it at will within the baseline, the outline remains unchanged, and the possible permutations and combinations are endless.
Today, both of them were wearing sky-blue clothes embroidered with cloud and water patterns, and their facial features after adjustments were more gentle and bookish.
After the adjustment, Zhang Xueming pinched Gong Yuanzheng's chin and looked around, then kissed him with satisfaction: "A Yuan, next time it will be your turn to help me modify it. It doesn't need the help of internal force. It can be maintained for about six hours, which is enough. 】
Gong Yuanzheng watched her adjust her own needles without the use of a mirror. No matter how many times he watched this scene, he was always amazed: [No problem, I'll go back and practice on Jin Miao.]
Zhang Xueming asked the maid to stay here and he led Gong Yuanzheng out through the back door of Xianpinju.
He scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense and made sure that no one could see him. He then put away the long sword and short sword that did not match his temperament. Hand in hand, the two of them walked through the alley and blended naturally into the flow of people.
The people in the northern border are open-minded, especially in the border towns. Both men and women walk outside with their heads held high and are very confident. There are many couples like them walking hand in hand on the street, and passers-by don't pay too much attention.
[On holidays other than festivals, temple fairs, etc., there aren't many people on the street. I'll take you to see every shop. If you go out alone in the future, you'll know what you can buy in each shop.] Zhang Xueming shook his hand.
Gong Yuanzheng felt good about whatever she said. Thinking that she was thinking about him, his breath was sweet: [Good.]
The street where Xianpinju is located is the most prosperous street in Changling City. Most of the people coming and going are wealthy people, and the shops and restaurants are all mid- to high-end.
For each type of store, Zhang Xueming picked out a high-end one and a mid-range one, and took him in for a walk around, letting him know what was sold inside and the prices.
The two people were of good appearance and their clothes looked very expensive. Even if they did not buy anything, they were still warmly received and sent off with smiles.
When he was with Zhang Xueming, Gong Yuanzheng's spirit and energy were different, and the smile on his lips never disappeared since it appeared.
He took note of everything Zhang Xueming taught him, and his eyes never left her, his eyes and eyebrows full of affection.
Zhang Xueming couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you so happy?"
Gong Yuanzheng also laughed: [A short separation is better than a new marriage. ]
Zhang Xueming pinched his hand and scolded: [Don’t learn from my elder sister to use random words.]
Gong Yuanzheng readily follows the advice: [One day without seeing you feels like three years? ]
Zhang Xueming laughed even more: [When have we not met? ]
Gong Yuanzheng said: [As the saying goes, every day feels like a year. We don’t see each other for at least half a year. We can only spend time chatting to pass the time. We can barely get by.]
Zhang Xueming smiled brilliantly, like a blooming flower, and her above-average appearance amazed countless people.
But looking at the young man next to her who was laughing so happily, anyone with a little sense of morality would not be able to convince himself to rush forward and disturb their happiness.
In the glass shop, the colorful and crystal clear utensils sparkled under the specially set lights, making Gong Yuanzheng stare in amazement.
He stopped in front of a pot of glass flowers that looked like they were about to bloom, looked at the wooden label hanging on the pot, and said in surprise: "Is this a lotus orchid? The flower shape is really similar to the Izumo lotus."
Zhang Xueming also felt like: [Take two pots back, put one in the pharmacy, and put one in your bedroom? It's my own property, no need to be polite. ]
Gong Yuanzheng didn't want it, but he was interested in ordering a batch of experimental equipment.
Zhang Xueming said: [What kind of model do you want? Go back and draw a blueprint and have the workshop staff come to pick it up. This way the blueprint won’t be leaked.]
Gong Yuanzheng thought for a while and said, “Then let’s order three more bonsai of laurel trees and the puppy, one for us and my brother, and two more of snow palaces and lotus ponds for Xue Ge and the others, to prevent them from missing home.”
The gifts from the two rooms, the man gave "Tangli Jianxue" and the woman gave a large cosmetics set and "Mrs. Jin Wengong Pills"? 】
Zhang Xueming laughed at him: [It’s fine if my brother and his family are with your grandparents, but it’s not a festival, so why are they sending gifts to my family? ]
Gong Yuanzheng smiled brightly: [Of course it is a gift to please my father-in-law and mother-in-law. ]
The East Market was where livestock were sold. The environment was too bad and not suitable for a date, so the two went to the West Market.
Gems and spices from the Western Xinjiang, seafood, corals, and giant clams from the East China Sea, wool tapestries and furs from the Northern Border... everything is available.
There are also vendors selling all kinds of gadgets and a wide variety of snacks.
I want to buy a few bucket-shaped satchels made of snow cashmere in the shape of lambs, some fat straw-woven finches and poultry and livestock, a few sets of courtyard models made of wood and stone, a batch of animals and Three Kingdoms figures made of colored clay, and fans and hair accessories made of various colored feathers and shells...
If they couldn't take it, they would ask the vendors to deliver it to Zhang's shop, and then the shop assistants would deliver it to the third room. They would wait for them to go back and pack it before delivering it to each family, so that everyone would get a share and no one would be left out.
The two of them enjoyed the date and shopping to the fullest, and were happy to be able to only choose a few sweet snacks to try.
Good-looking people's actions can always inspire a group of people to imitate them, not to mention that the happiness that lingers around them is particularly contagious.
At first glance, you can tell that young people from well-off families like it, so it must be a good product. No matter whether it is useful or not, just buy it!
In the evening, when the West Market closed, the newly appointed tax inspector checked today's tax statistics and found that the small vendors paid more taxes than the shops. He was confused and asked, "Are all the schools in the city closed today?"
He remembers that the vendors sell things that children like, right?
It turned out that they were a strange young couple from the third branch of the Zhang family who were having a great time shopping. They inadvertently promoted the goods on the spot, which attracted passers-by to open their wallets and rush to buy them. The new tax inspector was so scared that his scalp went numb.
His old boss had just been punished for embezzlement that morning. He didn't believe that there would be any young men and women from the third branch of the Zhang family who would come to the West Market to hang out at this time.
The new tax inspector hurriedly summoned his clerks to ask, "You didn't ask for red envelopes from anyone, did you? You didn't charge any fees for any reason, did you?"
Fortunately, there are none.
He let out a long sigh, slumped down on the armchair, stroked his throbbing heart, and then, he pulled himself together and admonished: "Keep your skins tight from now on! I don't give you such a high monthly salary to invite you to eat both sides. The North has only been stable for a few years, don't forget how the good days came about for the sake of money. The heroic spirits in the city's forest of steles are watching us!"
Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng had no idea that a date could have such an effect. They hurried back to the private room of Xianpinju to have their faces replaced before dinner and took a carriage back home.
Although they have to be separated again, being fully charged is still different.
Seeing their grandson in high spirits, the Sixth Old Master and his wife took the initiative to chat and laugh with them. They were no longer as reserved as before and even ate an extra bowl of rice.
Back in the courtyard, Gong Shangjiao smiled and pointed at him: "You have made great progress in the expedition and have learned how to plan."
Gong Yuanzheng grinned, revealing a bit of a rogue tone: "As the old saying goes, a good teacher produces good students. Thanks to my brother for teaching me well."
