Transmigrating to the Song Dynasty: Water Margin Business Management
Chapter 14: Taking My Wife Shopping
Thinking of this, Zhao Tianming felt a surge of tenderness and said, "Fool, why can't you understand? We are husband and wife, one, inseparable. Only if one dies can the other have hope of survival."
"No! Go away! Go away!" He Xiang cried out, "Don't worry about me, just go!"
Zhao Tianming was furious upon hearing this. How could this woman be so foolish? Even at this critical juncture, she was still thinking of him.
Although Zhao Tianming thought this way, he pretended to be very angry on the surface and glared at He Xiang.
He Xiang, do you even know what's going on?
He Xiang cried out, "I don't understand! I don't understand anything!"
After saying that, He Xiang hugged Zhao Tianming, rested her head on his chest, and began to sob.
He Xiang kept crying, her tears and snot soaking Zhao Tianming's clothes. Seeing He Xiang so aggrieved, Zhao Tianming felt extremely sorry for her, but he still managed to suppress his own tenderness.
He knew that they were in the wrong and couldn't blame her.
At this moment, a Japanese man ran towards He Xiang and Zhao Tianming, a sinister smirk playing on his lips.
Zhao Tianming finally snapped out of it. "I'd completely forgotten I had a special skill!" he thought. "Damn it, system, why aren't you giving me a hint now?"
"You son of a bitch, Zhao Tianming, you now have hundreds of millions in assets and beautiful women by your side, have you paid me maintenance fees yet?" the system cursed.
Despite the system's scolding, it still granted Zhao Tianming superpowers at a crucial moment. Zhao Tianming used the Hundred-Step Freeze Technique to immobilize all the Japanese pirates. At this moment, Gao Qiu and Lu Da arrived and took all the pirates away.
He Xiang was stunned by the scene. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief as she murmured, "This...is this the legendary superpower?"
Zhao Tianming laughed: "He Xiang, this is one of my special abilities, called 'Hundred-Step Freeze.' I only need to use my telekinesis to control the objects in the surrounding space, then control their consciousness, and then use my superpowers to freeze them instantly."
He Xiang was shocked by Zhao Tianming's words.
Zhao Tianming said: I have many more superpowers, but I can't tell you too many, so as not to attract other people's attention. You'll know when you find out.
He Xiang looked at Zhao Tianming with eyes full of admiration and respect.
Zhao Tianming said: Stop staring blankly and go change your clothes.
"Oh," He Xiang said, "thank you."
Zhao Tianming smiled slightly and said, "Why are you thanking me? We're husband and wife, it's only natural for a husband to lead and a wife to follow each other."
Upon hearing this, He Xiang blushed and her heart raced several times faster.
Having received a good education since childhood, He Xiang knew that it was taboo for couples to say things like "thank you." Therefore, He Xiang immediately changed her words and said: "Husband, you are so good."
He Xiang's voice was very soft, as melodious as a wind chime. After hearing it, Zhao Tianming immediately felt refreshed.
"He Xiang, this time we captured the Japanese pirates, and my father-in-law has gained face before the Emperor again. When that happens, His Majesty will surely reward me with a jade pendant, and then you'll be set for life," Zhao Tianming said.
Upon hearing this, He Xiang's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Really?"
Zhao Tianming nodded and said, "Of course, you have to trust your husband, I won't lie to you!"
He Xiang nodded and said, "Yes. I know you wouldn't lie to me."
Seeing the joy on He Xiang's face, Zhao Tianming felt a little guilty.
Zhao Tianming realized that He Xiang's danger this time was due to his failure to protect her, which made him feel even more guilty. He secretly resolved to take good care of He Xiang in the future and make her the happiest woman in the world.
The two changed their clothes and hurriedly left.
Zhao Tianming led He Xiang straight to a small tavern in the north of the city.
On the way, He Xiang couldn't help but ask: Honey, what was your superpower just now? I don't know yet.
Zhao Tianming said, "My superpower is the ability to immobilize and freeze enemies; this is a martial arts technique from ancient China. However, I only know this one skill. In the future, I will definitely learn more powerful martial arts."
He Xiang asked, "Don't we have several martial arts styles in our family? You can learn the martial arts my mother taught me and the martial arts my grandfather taught me. Also, there must be many martial arts practitioners in your family, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianming laughed and said, "You're wrong. My family isn't a martial arts family. Don't be fooled by my years in the army, constantly fighting. I'm just an ordinary farmer."
He Xiang was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
Are you just an ordinary farmer?
"Of course. Do I look like a rich kid?" Zhao Tianming said smugly. "Actually, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child. My grandfather taught me these few skills, mainly for self-defense. But what would a farmer like me do with martial arts? I don't want to learn martial arts; there's no benefit to it. I just want to study hard, become a useful businessman, and earn money to support you."
Husband... Hearing this, He Xiang felt a warm current well up in her heart.
"Alright, let's go." Zhao Tianming urged He Xiang.
When the two arrived at the tavern, Zhao Tianming found the innkeeper.
Shopkeeper, could you please help me calculate how much silver I'll earn tonight?
Okay, please wait a moment. After saying that, the shopkeeper picked up a pen and started calculating.
Zhao Tianming sat down on the stool next to He Xiang and waited quietly for the shopkeeper to announce the numbers.
After a while, the shopkeeper said: Sir, there are a total of 3,976 copper coins here.
Zhao Tianming was startled when he heard the number. He hadn't expected these Japanese to be so poor, even calculating the cost of their meals so precisely. Nevertheless, Zhao Tianming still took out a silver note from his pouch and handed it to the innkeeper.
After counting the silver, the shopkeeper bowed to He Xiang before turning and leaving.
After the shopkeeper left, He Xiang couldn't help but sigh: "Husband, your family is so rich, why do you still want to be a farmer? Our country has such abundant food, you could easily be a millionaire."
Zhao Tianming laughed: "What can we do? There are too many things in this world more important than money. We can endure hardship when we're poor, but if we have money, we become spoiled brats and lawless. Then, no one will respect us anymore. So, I'd rather be an ordinary person."
You're such a fool.
"Yes. I'm such a fool, what can I do but love you?" Zhao Tianming laughed.
Upon hearing this, He Xiang casually remarked, "Wow, honey, I never knew you were a philosopher."
Zhao Tianming said with a smile: This isn't a philosopher, it's called a worldview, values, and experiential perspective. However, my wisdom combined with philosophy represents a new realm.
"Tch, I can't be bothered with your newfound level of sophistication." He Xiang rolled her eyes at Zhao Tianming.
Zhao Tianming said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. I'll take you somewhere and show you what real beauty is."
Zhao Tianming pulled He Xiang away from the tavern.
Arriving in the suburbs, He Xiang could see a sea of bamboo in the distance.
"Wow, honey, this place is so beautiful!" He Xiang exclaimed. "It's like a fairyland!"
"Yes. The bamboo here is very large and dense, seemingly stretching as far as the eye can see. In fact, the distance between each bamboo stalk is roughly the same, so they don't obstruct each other's view or easily become scattered. Moreover, these bamboo stalks grow so lushly that they can't be cut down or transplanted at all," Zhao Tianming said.
"Oh, I see! Honey, I thought your house was a vegetable farm," He Xiang said playfully.
Zhao Tianming laughed and said, "How about it? Don't you admire me a lot now?"
"Yes! Honey, I've found myself admiring you more and more!" He Xiang said with a smile. "I definitely want to marry you someday!"
"You said it yourself, so don't regret it later," Zhao Tianming said with a smile.
Absolutely not!
Hahaha...
The two of them frolicked in the bamboo forest, their laughter echoing in the air.
"He Xiang, do you still remember the Journey to the West that I told you back then?" Zhao Tianming asked.
Of course I remember, you even wrote this story!
Zhao Tianming smiled slightly and said: Actually, that story is not complete. It simply combines the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures with the journey to the Western Paradise to obtain scriptures, and tells about the experience of the journey to the West, but the process of the journey to the West.
Journey to the West? Could it be that the journey to the West has something to do with me? He Xiang asked curiously.
Zhao Tianming said: "Didn't you once suddenly want to go hiking? You asked me if I would go with you. Do you remember how I refused you that time?"
He Xiang shook her head; of course she couldn't remember.
I said no. Zhao Tianming said with a smile.
He Xiang was taken aback.
Because I'm afraid you'll fall and get hurt while climbing the mountain.
"Ah! Honey, you...you actually dislike me! Humph, I'm ignoring you!" He Xiang pouted.
Haha, how could I possibly dislike you? But I did see you get bruised and battered during that hike, and it broke my heart.
He Xiang smiled shyly, feeling sweet inside.
At this moment, He Xiang asked in confusion: "Then why did you agree to let me go hiking with you later?"
Zhao Tianming laughed and said, "You were injured that time, and although I healed you later, you were always sullen during that time, which I noticed, so I agreed to go hiking with you."
"Honey, you're so wonderful!" He Xiang threw herself into Zhao Tianming's arms.
The two embraced affectionately.
After a moment, Zhao Tianming released He Xiang and said, "Come on, let's go buy some clothes first, and then get something to eat. You definitely haven't been eating properly these past few days."
"Honey, I want to wear that outfit," He Xiang said, pointing to a pink dress.
Okay, let's go shopping for clothes now.
......
......
After buying clothes, the two of them went out for a meal.
It was already past 7 p.m. when we got back to the village.
Zhao Tianming said, "He Xiang, it's so late, you should get some rest too. You have to go to work tomorrow."
He Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, then you should go to bed early too."
The two lay down together, snuggling close, and He Xiang quickly fell asleep.
Zhao Tianming lay on his side, looking at He Xiang.
His eyes were filled with pity and doting affection.
Oh, my silly girl, meeting you in this life is the greatest blessing I've ever had. Do you know that?
