Chapter 298 Turn your elbows outward
It was a dark night. Two people with nothing to do held hands and walked slowly along the eaves, back and forth, and finally arrived at Gong Shangjiao's Zhongchunju.
After picking up Gong Shangjiao, who had changed into a black velvet robe for home use and looked fresh and smelled of laurel, the three of them slowly walked back to Miaoxiaju.
Crying Bao Yu has left.
Jin Miao, who was guarding outside the palace gate, whispered to Gong Yuanzheng and Zhang Xueming: "Master Yu asked for an extra bag of orange candy."
Gong Yuanzheng sneered: "He must have used it to please his wife."
Zhang Xueming smiled and said, "It's good enough that he has this intention and can live a good life with Miss Lin."
Gong Shangjiao glanced at the three people who were openly gossiping, but said nothing. After entering, he said, "This piece of jade is in tune with you guys."
"I'm an old friend of the Zheng Palace. I'm very comfortable with it." Zhang Xueming asked casually, "Did you take your medicine today, brother?"
Gong Shangjiao took out the medicine bottle, poured out a pill and ate it: "This is all I need for today."
Gong Yuanzheng looked at the medicine bottle suspiciously.
Gong Shangjiao didn't wait for him to speak, he quickly put away the medicine bottle and asked him, "Have you copied the ten copies of the family rules that you need to hand over to the Council of Elders?"
"There are only a few more pages left." Gong Yuanzheng asked again, "Will you go to Gong Ziyu's wedding?"
"You have to show up." Gong Shangjiao asked him, "Where are you and Zhao Zhao?"
"Even if I don't go, I still get the courtesy." Zhang Xueming said with a smile, "Look at A Yuan, if he goes, I'll go too. But I can't sit for long, and in my situation, it would be impolite to sit for too long."
"Then don't go. He doesn't have that much face." Gong Yuanzheng made the decision immediately.
"Shall we prepare the gift for brother?" Zhang Xueming said lazily, "It saves us the trouble of doing it twice."
Gong Shangjiao agreed, his whole body relaxed, and he leaned against the table, half closing his eyes: "Zhao Zhao still has something to say today."
"It's rare to be ignorant in life." Zhang Xueming said lightly.
"It's fine if they are confused, but I can't be." Gong Shangjiao said, "They are unwilling to give up after getting such a great benefit. Dozens of generations have been studying meteorites persistently. I'm afraid there must be other reasons."
"But if we get the benefits, don't we also have to bear the consequences?" Gong Yuanzheng interrupted, "They have been guarding the aliens for generations. No matter how much the poisonous miasma hurts people, they can't move away. The creatures on the meteorite are powerful enough to decide our fate. The Gong family has few descendants from generation to generation, maybe it's related to the meteorite... Are they studying how to eliminate these consequences?"
"Hundreds of years have passed. To deal with aliens, we still have to drive them into the tunnels and train Red Jade Servant to take turns defending outside. Before you, no one has developed a medicine that can cure the miasma poison. Now that the Feng Palace is gone, Zhi Ren will just do the same as the four palaces in the front mountain and marry a bride from outside the valley. Do you think they are studying how to eliminate the bad consequences?" Gong Shangjiao refuted one by one.
Gong Yuanzheng was speechless.
Zhang Xueming waved his hand: "Brother, if you have the ability, ask the elders to allow me to enter the Wanxiang Pavilion to read books without any restrictions. Only after I finish reading can I be sure whether it is what I think it is."
Gong Shangjiao poured her some tea, picked up a pale yellow milk-filled tea cake and put it on a small plate, pushed it in front of her, and urged her: "There are only three of us here, what's there to be afraid of? Just chatting, no evidence is needed."
Zhang Xueming drank tea and ate snacks, but her mouth was kept tighter than a clam. When the midnight snack came, she asked someone to take her portion and then slipped away.
"Tsk, you're being cautious again at this time." Gong Shangjiao complained in a low voice.
Gong Yuanzheng took five or six slices of mutton from his bowl with his chopsticks and said, "Be careful and avoid disaster. Zhao Zhao has said enough today. Brother, why don't you let me take a break?"
"You're a disloyal person. I've raised you in vain." Gong Shangjiao glared at him angrily, protected the bowl, picked out the meat and ate it first.
"If it turns inward, it means a fracture." Gong Yuanzheng replied calmly, and picked up the mutton in the bowl and ate it all before eating the noodles.
It was too late, and Zhang Xueming didn't allow them to eat to their heart's content. Each person had a large bowl of mutton noodles in clear soup, three ounces of noodles and two ounces of mutton, which was gone after they finished eating.
There was a big box of yam and water chestnut cake and yam and date paste cake specially prepared for those who stayed up late.
After seeing Gong Shangjiao off and turning off the lights everywhere, Gong Yuanzheng went to the window sill of the study in Huachaoju to wait for Zhang Xueming.
After taking Zhang Xueming back to the pharmacy, he saw that she was not in high spirits, so he refused to ask her to help him: "Just lie on the couch and take a nap if you feel sleepy."
Zhang Xueming listened to him working quietly and quietly, smiling with relief, and soon fell asleep.
Gong Yuanzheng saw that she had to wake up and spit out blood after sleeping for only a quarter of an hour, and tossed and turned without any rest. He was scratching his head and wished that the Chuyun Chonglian would bloom immediately so that she would not feel so uncomfortable.
Zhang Xueming was a little used to it. If he couldn't get a full night's sleep, he could try to train himself to have deep sleep in fragmented time. Some sleep was better than no sleep.
Her training was really successful.
Seeing the water dripping in the corner, it was still early to get up. Zhang Xueming grabbed Gong Yuanzheng, pushed him onto the beauty bed, and took off his shoes and socks.
After a shoulder and back massage, she wrapped him tightly in the still warm blanket and patted his head: "Go to sleep, I'm here."
Gong Yuanzheng was rubbed until his bones and muscles were soft, and he felt so comfortable that his soul almost flew away. He curled up in the quilt, smelling the light floral scent in the quilt. He felt sleepy and looked at her busy figure with sleepy eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he fell asleep unknowingly.
I slept soundly this time.
When he woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Xueming facing him, concentrating on stirring the medicine. Her peacock blue thick velvet embroidered double-breasted skirt made her skin look even whiter.
Gong Yuanzheng watched quietly for a while before reluctantly leaving the bed, sitting up and hugging the quilt to rub his eyes: "Zhao Zhao."
Zhang Xueming put down what he was doing, came over to hug this spoiled baby, and urged him to wash up: "It's almost time for lunch. Today we have a pot, chestnut chicken soup base."
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes lit up, then he realized what was happening and was shocked: "It's so late?!"
He quickly got up and ran to see his Izumo lotus and flowers and plants. After washing and changing clothes, he ran to Huachaoju to see the flowers and plants he had raised for Zhang Xueming. They had all been taken care of.
When Gong Yuanzheng returned to Miaoxiaju, Zhang Xueming was already in the tea room.
She spread out her tools to prepare to bind the album, while Gong Shangjiao was busy painting opposite her. Hearing footsteps, both of them looked up at him.
Gong Shangjiao frowned: "Why are you running out without combing your hair?"
Gong Yuanzheng touched his long hair that was tied up with a hairband and muttered quietly, "I'm not wearing this either."
Before Gong Shangjiao could say anything else, Zhang Xueming brought him some tea, pushed the snack box in front of him, and took out the peony jade comb he brought with him. He smiled at Gong Yuanzheng and said, "Come here, Ayuan. I'll comb your hair for you."
Gong Yuanzheng was afraid of tiring her out, but he was reluctant to give up his kindness. After being urged twice, he finally went over and knelt down obediently, apologizing dejectedly: "It's all my fault. I overslept and made Zhao Zhao busy for so long."
"You can take advantage of your youth to stay up late every day, but your body can't stand it. When you get the chance, I'll ask you to have a good sleep and remind you not to treat it as a piece of iron that doesn't need rest."
When the issue of staying up late is brought up, Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao both start to act like wooden men.
Zhang Xueming didn't say much. He picked up a small box from the pile of boxes beside him, opened it and placed it in front of Gong Yuanzheng. It turned out to be a box of newly made small bells.
There are eighteen pairs of gold and eighteen pairs of silver, and the small and exquisite bells have various exquisite patterns on them.
"I ordered it at Shang Palace a few days ago. I drew the pattern and it was delivered this morning. We each have one set... Yuan, do you want to wear the gold or silver one today?"
