Comprehensive film and television: The Queen of Rolls Opens the Roll Again
Chapter 376 The Wedding Date is Approaching
Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng watched the excitement for a whole day and found a secluded place at night. Zhang Xueming turned back into a child and returned to the inn with Gong Yuanzheng.
After she and Gong Yuanzheng had toured the city where the inn was located, they checked out and went to find an inn to stay in other cities.
The two of them still pretended to be brother and sister. During the day, Gong Yuanzheng carried her out for strolling and shopping.
After returning to the inn at night, Zhang Xueming recorded what he saw and heard and the problems he found in a book, and drew a few line drawings as a souvenir.
Gong Yuanzheng either read the "Record of Medicinal Materials in the Northern Territory" given to him by Zhang Xueming, or made lace and headbands. He also learned how to weave wool and make small felt animals as accessories.
Although he only knew how to knit the simplest flat stitch, his current achievement was only to weave a rectangular piece of cloth, which he folded, threaded with a thick needle, and sewed three edges with the same color yarn to make a cross-body bag for Zhang Xueming.
However, Zhang Xueming happily pinned the ugly wool felt puppies and kittens he had poked on his woolen bag and carried them in and out as if to show off. His sense of accomplishment doubled and he studied even harder.
This happened several times, and after he had looked around Baimiao City, Zhang Xueming returned to his original state and took Gong Yuanzheng to visit the Zhang family members in the city.
She needed to review various work files of Baimiao City in the past three years, listen to work reports, deliver medicine, "instruct" the Zhang family members in martial arts, inspect the clan school and military camp, and finally send the summary of Baimiao City's work situation along with letters and gifts to her family back to Changling City.
About half a month later, Zhang Xueming repeated the same trick and sneaked away with Gong Yuanzheng to the next city.
The two of them take turns being the child, working and playing at the same time.
Sometimes they would climb to the top of a mountain to watch the sunrise over a sea of clouds; sometimes they would go into the vast forest to look for rare medicinal herbs, exotic insects and snakes; sometimes they would stand at the highest point in the city to overlook the bustling crowds and the lights of thousands of houses...
Time and travel are good medicine to soothe the soul.
On October 16, six days before the divorce period, Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng, who had just finished their territory-wide patrol, finally returned to Changling City on a drizzling morning.
Zhang Xueming did not hide her identity. The news of her and Gong Yuanzheng's return spread rapidly from the city gate to all parts of the city.
When they returned to the new house to bathe and change clothes, and took a carriage back to the third branch of the Zhang family, the scene that happened when they just returned from the South half a year ago was played out again.
The old, middle-aged and young people from the nine branches of the Zhang family's direct line, as well as elders from the collateral branches and representatives of the clan gathered in the third branch, making it extremely lively.
After not seeing each other for half a year, Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng have obviously become much more cheerful and calm.
The Zhang family felt relieved, and the Gong family also felt relieved.
……
After saying goodbye and having dinner, Zhang Xueming stayed in the third room, while Gong Yuanzheng followed Gong Shangjiao back to the house in Wuliu Hutong.
Gong Shangjiao teased his brother whom he hadn't seen for half a year: "Why aren't you reluctant to part with him today?"
Gong Yuanzheng raised his lips slightly: "A short separation is for a long-term companionship. When our hearts are together, the world is close at hand."
Gong Shangjiao looked at him in surprise.
Just now, he only felt that Gong Yuanzheng had grown taller, his body was not so thin anymore, and his patience and tolerance towards people other than him and Zhang Xueming had increased. Although he still didn't like to talk to people he didn't know well, he would no longer cross his arms to show a gesture of rejection.
I didn't expect Gong Yuanzheng to say such touching words.
"It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip." Gong Shangjiao patted his shoulder, "Go back and try on the wedding dress to see if it needs any changes. Go to your grandparents' house tomorrow and have a good chat with them. They must miss you very much. You have to be patient for the next few days. You and Zhao Zhao cannot meet before the wedding. Don't be impolite."
Gong Yuanzheng nodded obediently: "I understand, brother."
Gong Shangjiao still trusted his younger brother whom he had raised, so he stopped talking and only used his and Zhang Xueming's trip as a topic to start a conversation and listen to him describe what he had seen and heard in the past six months.
When he arrived at the house in Wuliu Hutong, Gong Yuanzheng was surprised to find that this house was not only connected to Zhang Xueming's five-courtyard house, but also to another adjacent five-courtyard house with a back garden.
It’s not as big as the residence of the third branch of the Zhang family, but its area is as large as that of the Zheng Palace.
Although it would be just him and Zhang Xueming living there from now on, they still had a front and back yard.
The front yard is used for office and reception. The pharmacy and medicine garden are all set up here. Two martial arts arenas are also built, both open-air and indoor.
The backyard is a place for living and playing. There are peach trees, plum trees, bamboo forests... There is no shortage of elegant places, and a small lake has been dug. An exquisite two-story building has been built on the island in the lake, there are boats on the shore, and there is a wooden bridge with a fence on the lake...
Gong Yuanzheng felt like he didn't recognize this place anymore: "Brother, why has this house become like this?"
In the past six months, he and Zhang Xueming have been communicating with Changling, but the Zhang family has not mentioned the reconstruction of the house.
"When I arrived at Changling, the house was already like this."
Gong Shangjiao was also helpless.
"I asked Uncle Tong about it. It should be not long after you and Zhao Zhao left Changling that the Zhang family sent people to rebuild it. The guards and servants you left in this house were taken away by the Zhang family and retrained before being sent back."
It goes without saying who the people trained by the Zhang family are loyal to. However, Gong Shangjiao did not bring it up, nor did he mean to stand up for Gong Yuanzheng.
Gong Yuanzheng was so eager to get married, could he really be interested in someone else? Being nice to him was not as good as being nice to Zhang Xueming, which would win his favor.
"Oh, by the way, my eldest sister is pregnant and can't travel far. Young Master Hua and Elder Hua stayed at the palace gate to take care of her. The three of us who came here to attend your wedding are Xue Zhongzi, me, and others..."
Gong Shangjiao kept talking about the palace gate, and Gong Yuanzheng listened quietly, a little dazed.
It has been less than a year since he left the palace, and now when he hears Gong Shangjiao talking about those people, he feels as if he were in a different world.
There were too many happy things and beautiful scenes worth remembering in his memory, and the good and bad things in the past were pushed into the corner. If he never saw them again, he might forget them completely soon.
"Expedition."
"Expedition?" Gong Shangjiao raised his voice. Seeing him come back to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh, "Why, are you missing home?"
Gong Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, but did not say directly that Gongmen was not his home. He lowered his eyes and smiled: "No, I was wondering how long my brother can stay this time."
In six days, he will have a home, a home for life.
From then on, wherever his wife was, that was his home.
……
Three bedrooms with backyard.
Zhang Xueming sat on a low stool, leaning against Yang's legs.
Yang wanted to talk to her in private, so she drove away Zhang Wenling and his two sons, and the maids and nannies also left.
"Time flies. In the blink of an eye, Zhaozhao is going to get married." Yang gently touched her daughter's head, feeling a little melancholy.
Zhang Xueming chuckled: "Mom, what Ayuan and I did was called a marriage, or simply a marriage. It's not marrying into another family, and it doesn't count as Ayuan marrying into the family.
Also, our wedding room is in Wuliu Hutong, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there by horse carriage, not at the end of the world...
"Mom, didn't we agree that we would take turns eating dinner in the third and sixth rooms every day? Are you going back on your word?"
Suddenly all the atmosphere was gone.
Yang raised her hand with a fierce look on her face, wanting to slap Zhang Xueming on the head. Thinking about how this silly girl was so soft-hearted that she almost drove herself crazy, and the Zhang family valued her brain the most, she still didn't dare to hit her precious head, and slapped her on the left arm.
"Go, go, go! Go try on your wedding dress!"
