Chapter 73 Do you like it?
Seeing their actions, Ji Zheng immediately dropped what he was holding and stood up to chase after them.
After running with the crowd for a while, I saw a puff of black smoke coming out of an empty field not far ahead.
This must be another failure in the research on gunpowder.
The smoke cleared and a figure emerged.
"Is Lao Ding okay?" People gathered around him and asked with concern.
The man stretched out his tightly wrapped hands and waved them slightly to show that he was fine.
"Failed again?"
One of them said this as if it was nothing.
No one else answered.
At this time, the official called Lao Ding saw Ji Zheng outside the crowd.
Old Ding took off his hood, pointed at Ji Zheng and asked the people around him, "Who is that gentleman?"
The person being questioned explained in a low voice, "He is a new arrival today, his last name is Ji."
"You don't look very old, so why were you assigned to our place?" Old Ding asked curiously.
The person next to him shook his head and whispered, "I think he must have offended someone."
After hearing this answer, Lao Ding stopped talking and shook his head slightly.
Ji Zheng didn't hear what they said, but when he saw them looking over here, he smiled at them politely.
Seeing Ji Zheng's smile, Lao Ding was stunned for a moment, then smiled back, but with a hint of pity and sympathy in his slightly cloudy eyes.
Of course Ji Zheng didn't notice it, he just walked forward, bowed and said: "I'm Ji Zheng, I'm new here today."
Old Ding took off his protective suit, and the person next to him immediately took it. He then returned the greeting, "Ding Mao."
Ji Zheng had heard from Gao Ji about Ding Mao, who was originally a wandering Taoist priest brought back by Emperor Rendi during his southern tour. Not long after that, gunpowder came into being.
Ding Mao was also appointed by Emperor Rendi to be in charge of gunpowder research.
So strictly speaking, Ding Mao is Ji Zheng's boss at this moment.
The two exchanged a few official words and then went their separate ways.
Ji Zheng returned to his seat and continued reading the material he had not finished reading before.
Every time they conducted an experiment with gunpowder, they would record it in a book, which made it convenient for Ji Zheng to check.
This continued for the entire day, and the more Ji Zheng looked, the tighter his brows furrowed, because he couldn't see any problems.
It seems that you still have to participate in the experiment yourself to find out.
When it was time to leave, Ji Zheng said goodbye to the others and left.
It is impossible to work overtime.
On the other side of the home.
"Baby, I'm back!"
Before anyone entered the living room, Ji Zheng's nonchalant voice was heard first.
The servants around didn't react. They continued to do what they were supposed to do because they had become accustomed to it.
"Where are the people? Why don't they come out to greet me?"
Seeing that the person didn't come out, Ji Zheng was surprised. Usually, people would come out as soon as he finished shouting, so why was there no movement today?
Just when he was wondering, Ji Hean came out, wearing a light blue suit with a belt of the same color that made her slender waist look even thinner. Her slender waist and rounded hips made Ji Zheng's heart flutter.
He hugged the person who was running towards him and said, "Hey, baby, why are you dressed so beautifully today?"
Hearing the compliment, Ji Hean's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Wasn't it good-looking in the past?"
"It's beautiful, extremely beautiful, so beautiful that I want to hide my baby and watch it alone."
Ji Zheng said with a smile, his words were very exaggerated, and Ji Hean felt happy and shy.
Pulling Ji Hean to the room in the backyard, Ji Zheng said, "I'll go change my clothes first, and then go out with you."
After changing clothes, Ji Zheng took the money and the two went out.
"Where do you want to go for dinner?" Ji Zheng asked gently.
Ji Hean tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go to Zuixianlou."
Last time he went there with Zhongzi, the drunken goose there was delicious.
"Can."
Zuixianlou is one of the largest restaurants in the capital. Ji Zheng heard from Gao Ji that it was owned by Sheng Wang Jingyi.
Prince Sheng is Emperor Ren's younger brother, and as Prince Sheng is eighteen years younger than Emperor Ren, they have a very good relationship. Emperor Ren treats Prince Sheng like his own son.
When he arrived at Zuixianlou, Ji Zheng asked for a private room.
"I want a drunken goose." Ji Hean said to the waiter, and then looked at Ji Zheng, "Alang, what do you want to eat?"
"I'm fine with that. I'll eat whatever you eat."
Ji Hean said "oh" and turned to the waiter to order some other dishes.
Looking at Ji Hean who was talking to the waiter with such a generous look on his face, Ji Zheng smiled with relief. Unconsciously, his baby had changed a lot.
I still remember that more than a year ago, Ji Hean didn't even dare to talk to strangers, but now they can talk freely.
This change made Ji Zheng happy but also a little regretful.
He was happy that his baby was well taken care of by him, but sadly he would never see the poor little one again who always stayed beside him.
He still enjoyed the fact that Ji and An relied on him for everything, big or small.
After the waiter left, Ji Zheng took Ji and An's hands and rubbed them, "Tsk, An and I have grown up."
Ji Hean was a little confused by this incoherent sentence. "What did Alang say?"
Ji Zheng lazily leaned back, looked at Ji Hean with a smile and said, "I said my baby is so pretty!"
"Does Alang like it?" Ji Hean suddenly came up to Ji Zheng, staring at him with his round eyes and asked.
The magnified facial features made Ji Zheng's heart beat faster. He reached out and pulled the person into his arms, "Of course..."
He deliberately prolonged his answer, wanting to see Ji and An's reactions.
Ji Hean did not disappoint him and stared at him expectantly with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course I like it very much."
It was an expected answer, but Ji Hean was still very happy. The corners of his mouth curved beautifully, and his eyes were so bright that it seemed as if there were two stars hidden in them.
People in love are not only malicious, but also prone to being hypocritical, like Ji and An at this moment.
He was seen lying on Ji Zheng, and hesitantly asked, "If I get old and look ugly, will you still like me?"
Hearing this question, Ji Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pinched the soft flesh on Ji Hean's waist and said, "You think so much."
Ji Hean snorted twice, "Anyway, you won't look good when you're old, and I still like you."
"If you don't like me, I will lock you up and force you to have sex with me." Ji Zheng said shamelessly.
Another word he didn't understand, Ji Hean asked in confusion: "What does forced love mean?"
Ji Zheng smiled mysteriously, leaned over and whispered a few secret words in Ji Hean's ear.
It is not known what exactly happened, but it was visibly red to the naked eye.
"You, you you you..." Ji Hean's face turned red, his eyes widened, and he couldn't speak clearly when looking at Ji Zheng.
"What's wrong with me?" Ji Zheng still pretended to be innocent.
Ji Hean punched Ji Zheng in annoyance, "Why is your mind full of this kind of thing?" Ji Zheng held his hand, smiled and said, "This is called interest. My baby is so innocent." Ji Hean snorted and turned his head away.
Seeing this, Ji Zheng gently turned his face and said seriously: "No matter what you become, I will always like you. It doesn't matter if you are old or ugly. You will always be the one I love most in my heart."
The sudden earnest confession made Ji Hean stunned for a moment, and then he was deeply moved and his nose felt a little sore.
She suddenly buried her head in Ji Zheng's shoulder and said indistinctly in Ji Zheng's ear, "Ji Zheng, you are so nice. I like you very much."
Ji Zheng pinched Ji Hean's raised buttocks, and returned to his nonchalant look, saying with a regretful tone: "Tsk, if you don't like it, then I can force my love on you openly."
Then he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder; he was bitten by Ji Hean again.
Recently, Ji Hean always bites him for no reason.
He quickly pulled the person out of his arms and asked, "Baby, are you a puppy?"
Ji Hean snorted coldly with great arrogance.
Tsk, the good baby has turned into a spoiled baby.
"Okay, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said that." Ji Zheng apologized sincerely, "Please, this beautiful and kind young man, forgive me, okay?"
It was hard to coax Ji and An, so they were coaxed with just these two sentences, "Okay then."
At this time, there was a knock on the door. It seemed that the person who served the food had arrived.
Ji Hean got off Ji Zheng and went to open the door with a few clicks.
As soon as the door opened, waiters rushed in carrying dishes.
The aroma of the food whetted the appetite of the two people, "It smells so good!" Ji Hean stared at the colorful and delicious dishes on the table.
Ji Zheng was greasy, and no one knew what he was thinking. He suddenly said to Ji Hean, "Nothing smells as good as you."
Then he received a look of disgust from Ji Hean.
Ji Zheng: “…” Why did I say such greasy words?
Apart from this little incident, the two of them enjoyed a very satisfying meal.
"Let's go, I'll take you shopping!"
“What does shopping mean?”
Ji Zheng accidentally said it, and covered his face, "It means buying things."
Ji Hean nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Ji Zheng did not take the initiative to explain why he would occasionally blurt out words that did not belong to this era.
It’s not that he didn’t take the initiative to talk to Ji He’an about his time travel, but Ji He’an never took the initiative to ask about any details of the matter.
Not only that, whenever the topic was touched upon, he would subconsciously choose to avoid it, as if it was a taboo area that could not be touched.
This made him depressed for several days.
After leaving Zuixianlou, the two went to Caiyunzhuang, the largest clothing shop in the city.
Caiyun Manor has a total of three floors selling ready-made clothes, and the workmanship and materials are all top-notch. I heard that the embroiderers are all from the palace.
Of course, the price is also quite expensive.
