Jing Zhe slept well that night.
Moreover, it was a feeling I had never experienced before, from my past life to the present.
That's when I understood why men like to hold women while sleeping; now I know why.
However, when he woke up, the beauty beside him was no longer there.
Liu Jinghong entered Jingzhou last night, and today she was going to the palace to report on her duties, so she rushed to court early this morning.
When Jing Zhe got up, Aunt Wu had already prepared the meal.
After finishing his meal, Jing Zhe spoke a few words with Wu Ma before leaving home, as he had a lot of things to do.
He had just stepped out when he was greeted by a large face.
"Holy crap, what are you doing here? You scared me half to death!"
He got beaten up, his face bruised and swollen, and his face looked even bigger, which was strangely comical.
Hanhan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Young Master, I only woke up this morning. I heard from the cavalry that you were here, so I rushed over!"
Seeing that Jing Zhe remained silent, Hanhan felt somewhat uneasy: "Young Chieftain, you're not angry with me, are you?"
Jing Zhe shook his head: "Why would I be angry!"
"What did Hammer do to offend the young chieftain this time?"
"..."
After standing there for a moment, Jing Zhe patted him on the shoulder. "Alright, I've decided. I'll forge you a hammer weapon later! Just as Cheng Yaojin had his axe in ancient times, we now have a big, clumsy hammer!"
"..."
...
The two arrived on the street, but the blacksmith shop was not yet open, so they had to postpone their hammering for a while.
As he strolled along, Jing Zhe spotted a pharmacy ahead and immediately became interested, deciding to go and try his luck.
This pharmacy is called "Da'an Pharmacy". The store is huge, and the name alone makes it look very grand, like a state-owned enterprise. It has a wide variety of medicinal herbs, and there are quite a few people looking around to buy medicine.
Jing Zhe turned around, and at that moment a young medicine boy ran over.
"Young master, what would you like to order?"
"that…"
Feeling guilty, Jing Zhe glanced around to make sure no one was watching before whispering, "Do we have any herbs here like dodder seed, yangqi stone, epimedium, morinda root, or cistanche?"
Upon hearing the name of the medicine, the young apprentice looked Jing Zhe up and down, his gaze lingering on his groin for a few seconds.
Then, her eyes held a hint of disdain, as if she regarded him as a dissolute playboy who frequented brothels and whose body had been weakened by alcohol and women!
Jing Zhe was extremely embarrassed, then subtly pointed to the dumbfounded man beside him and whispered, "It wasn't me, it was him, it was him!"
He's such a simpleton; he didn't even know what these medicines were for. He thought Jing Zhe was buying them to help him recover from his injuries.
He grinned widely and said with a憨憨 (simple and honest) smile, "Young chieftain, you don't need to buy medicine, I'm fine!"
"..."
"Really? What about last night..."
Jing Zhe glanced at him, "How come only two people have collapsed?"
The simpleton looked embarrassed and scratched his head: "Hey, those two are pretty strong to begin with, and they're armed with weapons, so I'm having a hard time keeping up! But don't worry, young chieftain, if it's one-on-one, I'm not afraid of them!"
What kind of indecent and lewd words are these?
One against two?
Item assistance?
You're having a lot of fun!
Playing it this way is definitely not easy!
The young apprentice felt he was still too young to listen any further. He said to Jing Zhe, "Please wait a moment, young master, I'll go look for it," and then disappeared into the medicine cabinet.
He still smiled sheepishly, unaware of what others meant by his perceived inadequacy.
...
"Brother Jing!"
Hearing this familiar address, Jing Zhe turned around and smiled back, "So it's Brother Zhou!"
It was Zhou Zhiwei, whom I got along well with at the poetry gathering the night before last.
Upon seeing Jing Zhe again, Zhou Zhiwei was visibly excited. He patted Jing Zhe on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Jing, I've been looking for you for ages!"
It turns out that after the poetry gathering the day before yesterday, Zhou Zhiwei heard that Jing Zhe was staying at the Zhang family's house. He went to look for him all day but couldn't find him. He got up early this morning hoping to catch him, but he still couldn't.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into each other at the pharmacy. Moreover, Zhou Zhiwei had just overheard some little secrets about Jing Zhe, so he pulled Jing Zhe to a secluded corner and grinned at him with a lewd expression, "Brother Jing, do you want to buy aphrodisiacs?"
"Well…"
Jing Zhe was extremely embarrassed. Damn it, how did this guy hear that?
Then Zhou Zhiwei glanced at Jing Zhe's crotch and chuckled lewdly again, "You can't do it?"
Holy crap!
Jing Zhe has such a fiery temper. I may not be able to handle it, but you can't say I'm not good enough, or we won't even be friends anymore!
His face darkened, and he was about to refuse when Zhou Zhiwei said smugly, "Want some aphrodisiacs? I have some here! Their aphrodisiacs are no good, mine are better!"
Jing Zhe was first surprised, then overjoyed.
If you say I'm no good, then we're enemies.
If you can't do that either, then we can still be friends.
"Brother Zhou, so you're not good at it after all!"
"..."
Zhou Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head awkwardly and looked at him seriously.
"Brother Jing, I'm capable! It's precisely because I'm capable that I don't need these medicines; I was going to give them to you!"
"..."
Jing Zhe suddenly felt like he had been abandoned by his friends.
We clearly agreed that we couldn't do it together, but you insisted on doing it anyway!
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Jing Zhe shouted angrily, "I can do it too!"
"But I clearly heard Brother Jing say he wanted to buy those aphrodisiacs..."
Zhou Zhiwei was completely confused. "And what you just said was 'So you can't do it either,' if you could, why would you add 'also'?"
"Pah! When I said 'also,' I meant you're just like that idiot, he's no good either!"
When the simpleton next to him heard Jing Zhe mention him, he grinned foolishly.
Zhou Zhi looked at Hanhan and thought to himself, "This strong and burly man doesn't seem like he's going to fail..."
Seeing that Zhou Zhiwei did not believe him, Jing Zhe said to Hanhan, "Hanhan, am I right?"
The simpleton didn't understand what Jing Zhe was saying, he just kept smiling and nodding.
"Yes, yes!"
"..."
Despite their simple and honest appearances, the two had different thoughts.
Jing Zhe: May good people have a peaceful and prosperous life!
Zhou Zhiwei: What a strong man!
At this moment, Jing Zhe asked again, "Brother Zhou, how do you know you can do it? Did you try it?"
He doesn't look very old, but I didn't expect him to be such a veteran in the brothel!
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Zhiwei blushed upon hearing this and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Brother Jing, don't talk nonsense. I'm not married yet, how could I have tried this?"
How do you know you can do it if you haven't tried?
"Well... I'm so young, why would I need to try? It'll definitely work!"
"whispering sound!"
Jing Zhe scoffed, "I'm young too, I'm not—"
He had only said half of what he meant when Jing Zhe realized he'd let something slip. Pointing at Hanhan, he quickly corrected himself, "Look at him, he's young too, but he's still no good!"
"..."
