"These two are facial creams. One is almond facial cream, with almond oil as the main ingredient; the other uses the "Wen Zhong Facial Cream Recipe" from the Tang Dynasty. Chop up asarum, radix dahuricae, astragalus, white aconite, yam, magnolia, chuanxiong, angelica dahurica, trichosanthes, and magnolia bark, wrap them with clean cotton, then wrap them with silk cloth and soak them in liquor overnight. Then take out the soaked herbs, add one qian of angelica dahurica, and fry them slowly over low heat with four pounds of lard. When the angelica dahurica is fried until both sides are golden brown, remove the residue, filter the lard until there are no impurities in it, stir it until it solidifies, then take it out and package it."

Gong Yuanzheng introduced the recipe. Seeing Zhang Xueming's smile, he felt sweet inside. "The Angelica dahurica, Magnolia officinalis, Radix Aconiti Lateralis, Asarum and Rhizoma Chuanxiong in this recipe can dispel wind, activate blood circulation, and ward off filth and make the body fragrant. Magnolia bark has a fragrant smell, clears away heat, detoxifies and dissipates stagnation, and is good for treating facial red blisters and rosacea. Trichosanthes kirilowii dissipates stagnation and reduces swelling. Fructus weirui moisturizes and nourishes yin, and can remove dark spots. Astragalus, yam and pig fat nourish the skin and make the fur thicker. The combination of these herbs can moisturize and resist wrinkles, brighten the skin, and remove dark spots and whiten the skin."

Speaking of lard, he explained: "The lard in the Zheng Palace kitchen is made from the best fat. They soak it in clean water, changing the water once a day for eight days until it has no smell. Only then do they dare to use it to make oil. The clinic occasionally uses lard to make ointments for frostbite and burns, but the kitchen doesn't dare to fool people."

He also improvised and recited the fat refining method from Qianjin Yaofang: "When preparing facial fat, you must first know the fat refining method. Buy very fatty pig fat in December, soak it in water for seven or eight days, change the water once a day, boil it, and submerge the clear fat in the water. The same method is used for refining goose and bear fat."

Zhang Xueming scooped out a little bit of both types of facial cream and spread them on the back of her hand. It was moisturizing and delicate, with a light fragrance, exactly to her liking. It showed how much care the maker put into it.

She really loved Gong Yuanzheng's cheerful look, so she clapped her hands and encouraged him without reservation: "A Yuan is awesome! Even if Wu Feng is eliminated in the future, Zheng Gong will stop selling poison, and he can still make a lot of money just by selling these cosmetics!"

Gong Yuanzheng smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. After a moment, he asked cautiously, "Can the money you earn... allow Zhao Zhao to live a better life than before?"

"Yes!" Zhang Xueming said affirmatively. No matter what era, women's money is the easiest to make.

In recent years, the Zhang family has controlled the northern border like an iron barrel. In the past two years, they have been implementing a policy of economic infiltration towards the magical southern land. They have so many profitable businesses. Zhang Xueming can confidently say that their Zhang family has no shortage of money from selling cosmetics.

Although they couldn't make gunpowder or better iron in the North, they had the technology to make salt (refined salt) and sugar (frost sugar), and they also produced glass and other valuable products. If the Zhang family's glass products and glass mirrors were brought to the South, any one of them could be sold at a sky-high price - although the royal family and the court didn't care, their purchasing power for luxury goods had not decreased at all.

Well, in fact, the medicinal materials and flower resources in the north are not as rich as those in the south, so it is impossible to make a name for yourself. It is better to let Gong Yuanzheng, the future master of pharmacy and cosmetics, do this business. Gong Yuanzheng will be hers sooner or later, and Zheng Gong will also be hers.

Gong Yuanzheng had no idea what Zhang Xueming was up to. He was extremely excited to receive the strong encouragement from his beloved. He promised with great ambition: "In the future, I will read more books on this subject, do more experiments, and develop more useful cosmetics for Zhaozhao. I will also take the time to ask my brother for advice on the tricks of doing business. When Wufeng is eliminated..."

He suddenly thought that he shouldn't easily promise something that hasn't happened yet, lest something unexpected happens and disappoint Zhang Xueming, so he changed his words and said, "Zhao Zhao said I can do it, so I can definitely do it!"

Zhang Xueming pretended not to know why he changed his words and just looked at him with bright eyes. His voice gradually became smaller and smaller. Finally, he looked at her without blinking, and the smile on his handsome face became gentle.

How could she not be happy when her fiancé, a makeup artist with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs, expressed his loyalty and wanted to support her in wealth? It was impossible for her to let go of this caring young man who could give her countless positive feedback every day!

Zhang Xueming picked up the box of light pink lithospermum lip balm with a smile, lightly touched it with her fingertips, and applied it carefully on her lips.

Snow-white skin, red lips, and seductive eyes.

Gong Yuanzheng's gaze fell on her bright and plump lips, his breathing stagnated, and his eyes could no longer move.

After staying there for a long time, he finally couldn't help but slowly moved over and kissed her.

It was very gentle at first, with the two of them slowly rubbing their lips against each other.

After a while, Gong Yuanzheng felt uncomfortable bending over, so he pinched Zhang Xueming's waist with both hands and carried her to sit on the table.

Zhang Xueming took the opportunity to put his arms around his neck.

The battle became intense, with verbal battles going on back and forth.

For a moment, the room was filled with the flashing of swords and the temperature was rising steadily.

In order to avenge his previous humiliation, Gong Yuanzheng worked very hard, learned from his experience and gradually got into the better stage... Well, someone was ringing the small bronze bell outside the palace gate to inform them that it was time to go to dinner.

There was no way. No matter how kind Gong Yuanzheng had been these days, Su Rong and the others still knew about his great reputation in the Zheng Palace. Without his permission, no one dared to enter this side hall.

As for the various irregularities of the engaged couple after they returned to Zheng Palace, except for the guards who had not yet figured out the situation, everyone else in Zheng Palace had already turned a blind eye. Anyway, Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng just had to behave properly outside. The fence of Zheng Palace was well-guarded, and no one outside would have the time to come and see what the two were doing in Zheng Palace.

In the pharmacy in the side hall, the two people reluctantly separated. They fixed each other's hair and collar. Their lips were slightly swollen, red and delicious.

After tidying up, they were ready to go, but Zhang Xueming suddenly wanted to be willful. With a roll of his eyes, he grabbed the box of lip balm and handed it to Gong Yuanzheng. He raised his face, pursed his lips, and dangled his legs in the air, "Ayuan, help me wipe it off."

Gong Yuanzheng's scalp and tongue were still numb. He almost lost his soul to her just now. He didn't dare to test her depth again for a while. He was afraid that he couldn't resist the temptation. He could only frown and say seriously: "Zhao Zhao, we should go to eat. If we don't eat on time, our stomach will be damaged."

Zhang Xueming glared at him, turned away, and let him coax her for a long time before she said "reluctantly": "I don't want to walk, you carry me."

She was not talking about the modern way of carrying someone with the legs apart, but the kneeling style. People without arm strength would not dare to carry someone like that.

She planned to let Gong Yuanzheng carry her on his back and swing around for a small half circle to exercise his arm strength, and at the same time let her see if anyone in the Zheng Palace dared to spread rumors about her, and if anyone dared to spread rumors outside the Zheng Palace.

This is easy. Gong Yuanzheng immediately turned his back, put his hands behind him, held her up steadily, and walked out.

He took two steps and then stopped: "You don't want the things anymore?"

"Come and get it after you finish your meal. It will help you digest your food after the meal."

Gong Yuanzheng thought so too, and walked out with her on his back in a swagger.

Su Rong, who was about to ring the bell again outside the side hall door, was stunned: It's just these two steps...what are these two young masters trying to do?
