Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again

The sun sets behind the mountains and night falls.

In the Old Dust Valley, various ships that have been emptied of their cargoes are parked on the extensive river network.

In the early hours of the morning, these ships will leave here and head to the dock outside the valley, loaded with vegetables, meat, fruits, flowers, cloth and other daily necessities, and return here before the sun sets.

Not far away, the town streets were brightly lit, carriages and pedestrians were coming and going, and the shouts of store vendors were heard one after another, making this isolated valley full of people, in sharp contrast to the deserted high walls and deep courtyards of the palace.

After an afternoon of preparation, Zhang Xueming was full of confidence in this operation. He thought that since he had to go out anyway, he might as well go out a little earlier and take Gong Yuanzheng around to let this young man get in touch with the world.

Although she chose to take action at 11 p.m. when common people had gone home to rest, it did not mean that she had to sneak into Wanhua Tower dressed in black and wearing a mask like a killer.

Zhang Xueming prefers to dress up beautifully, smile sweetly, and then suddenly put on a mask, draw out her weapon and knock down all enemies within sight.

Therefore, Zhang Xueming deliberately put on her favorite dress: a white stand-up collar and pipa sleeves shirt, a round-necked top with a camellia red as the main color, and a sky blue horse-faced skirt. There were countless kittens of different colors and postures embroidered on the hem of the top and the front and back of the horse-faced skirt. A large long-haired cat with silver and white spots sat in the middle of the front of the top, looking down at the kittens playing, which made people smile.

She thought the moon-white robe Gong Yuanzheng was wearing this morning looked pretty nice, so she didn't ask him to change. She just asked him to tie his hair up in a bun like he did on the day of the marriage selection ceremony, with a dozen braids with little bells hanging down.

Before the two men came out, they stood in front of Gong Shangjiao. Gong Shangjiao praised them for a rare moment: "Not bad." At first glance, they were a pair of playful little kids. Who would be wary of them?

After exiting the secret passage, they crossed a forest and walked along the mountain road for nearly a quarter of an hour. Then, Zhang Xueming accompanied Gong Yuanzheng to watch the lively scene of the town from afar for a while. After he recovered, Zhang Xueming took his hand and led him slowly towards the bright street market.

Even though it is not Chinese New Year, big red lanterns symbolizing prosperity or paper lanterns for lighting are hung in front of shops and on vendors' stalls on the long street. Lantern vendors also set up poles and hang several rows of various colorful lanterns for sale. The lights make the streets colorful, and well-dressed men and women wander in the river of lights, making the scene very lively.

Gong Yuanzheng was not used to such bustle, and it was the first time in his life that he saw such a bustling scene.

The young master, who had never stepped out of the palace in the past seventeen years, looked around curiously, feeling indescribably timid and nervous. Fortunately, the hand holding him was firm and warm, and the inner strength that enveloped him was familiar and gentle, making him feel safe.

"A lot of people are looking at you." After the initial excitement wore off, Gong Yuanzheng muttered unhappily, "They're all staring at you like crazy."

Inside the palace gate, wherever Zhang Xueming walked, there would always be a pile of wooden stakes and geese left behind, but not as many or as frequent as in the street market.

Some people even came to their senses and chased after me, showing no manners at all. Humph!

"They watch their games, and we play our games." Zhang Xueming turned around with a smile and shook her hand, "Anyway, they can't touch us, and they can't hear what we are saying."

Having deep inner strength is so smooth. If you don't want to feel the hustle and bustle of others, all your attempts to scam or take advantage of others will be thwarted.

"Look, lanterns." Zhang Xueming pulled him to a lantern stall on the roadside that seemed to be doing good business.

The stall was a huge cart with many unlit lanterns piled on it. Behind the boss stood a tall pole with eight rows of nearly a hundred colorful lanterns of various styles hanging on it, all of which were lit.

After a careful inspection, he found that there was no dragon lantern like Gong Yuanzheng had mentioned, nor any interesting revolving lanterns on the car and poles. Zhang Xueming then pointed to a fairly delicate large red carp lantern and asked him, "Do you want to buy one to play with?"

"You choose one and I choose one?" Gong Yuanzheng asked back. He was dazzled by the wide variety of colored lanterns. The big red carp lantern that she pointed at was the only one he liked.

"But when you get busy, you'll be holding two lamps and you won't have time to hold my hand," Zhang Xueming said with a smile.

Gong Yuanzheng was stunned, his face slightly reddened, he held her hand tightly, and whispered: "Then just buy one, I will help you hold it when you have enough fun."

He untied the purse that Gong Shangjiao had tied around his waist before he left the house with one hand and handed it to Zhang Xueming: "You can't open it with one hand."

Zhang Xueming had just stretched out his empty left hand when the boss suddenly shouted, "Don't move!"

Gong Yuanzheng subconsciously reached for the hidden weapon bag at his waist.

The square-faced and righteous boss picked up the bamboo pole on the cart, took down the big red carp lantern, and held it with a thin bamboo stick and handed it to me: "You two are a perfect match. It is an honor for this auspicious red carp lantern to be favored by you. If you don't mind its crudeness, you can take it and play with it."

Zhang Xueming glanced at his face and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for your generosity, boss - Ayuan, take it. After we leave, others can come and buy lamps."

Although Gong Yuanzheng was very happy to hear people praising them like that, he also became alert, thinking that there might be some mechanism in the lantern, or that the boss was planning to take action while he was taking the lantern.

He was staring at the boss's hands sinisterly, thinking about using some poisoned hidden weapon. When he heard Zhang Xueming's words, his gloomy expression immediately cleared up, he took the lamp, and followed her forward.

He had walked quite a distance when he heard some strange noises behind him. He turned around and saw: Wow, a bunch of people were buying these big red carp lanterns there.

The boss took out several identical lamps from the cart and collected the money with a smile on his face.

"Zhao Zhao?" Gong Yuanzheng pulled Zhang Xueming's hand in confusion, "Look!"

Zhang Xueming looked back and explained with a smile: "Ayuan and I have good looks, good temperament, good manners and everything else. We are the most conspicuous and most compatible couple in this street market. No matter what we hold in our hands, it will look better than in the hands of others. Everyone wants good-looking things, so the boss foresaw that his business would be booming soon, so he was not stingy and gave us a lamp for free."

Gong Yuanzheng suddenly realized and looked at her with a red face: "I thought we met... ahem, that thing, I almost threw the hidden weapon out."

Zhang Xueming smiled and approached him, whispering, "He's not that, but he's your brother's subordinate, so it's good to let him make the money."

Gong Yuanzheng hurriedly bent his waist, leaned forward slightly, put his ear close to listen carefully, and praised in amazement: "Zhao Zhao, you are too good. You can see his true colors just by looking at him."

Zhang Xueming's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled even more happily: "That's right, this is the first time I've met someone who didn't stare at me in shock, but was shocked by your appearance."
