"Wow, that little waist twist is so powerful!" Chen Ge glanced at the stage through the curtain and was immediately attracted. This was the performance of the Song Dynasty girl group!
"hiss!"
Chen Ge felt a pain in his waist and couldn't help but gasp. He looked down and saw a slender hand pinching the soft flesh on his waist, spinning and jumping without stopping.
"Does it look good?" Ouyang Qingqing glared at Chen Ge angrily, as if she was going to take action against him if they disagreed.
"It's okay, they're far inferior to you!" Chen Ge's desire to survive was instantly full. He looked at Ouyang Qingqing with affection and sang softly: "Qingqing's waist is not a waist, it's the scimitar of the Death-Taking Sanlang. Qingqing's legs are not legs, they are the spring water by the Caibian River. Qingqing's back is not a back, it's the rose of Daxiangguo Temple. Qingqing's mouth is not a mouth..."
"Hey, where are you touching? Just sing, don't use violence." Ouyang Qingqing's anger disappeared in the blink of an eye like a deflated balloon, and was replaced by endless shyness and tenderness.
A smile brings joy to our reunion, like Chang'e, descending to the Moon Palace.
It was so tempting that Chen Ge couldn't help but salivate and stepped forward: "Qingqing, I want to taste your rouge..."
"Hey, don't run. If you don't let me taste it, then don't try it. Slow down and don't fall."
Chen Ge felt the sweetness between his lips and teeth, slowly got off the carriage, trotted a few steps to catch up with Ouyang Qingqing, took her hand, and walked towards the [Medical Hall] together.
"I swear to God, I didn't arrange these dancers. I just asked Chen Pingping to build a high platform to attract passersby and advertise the opening of our new store to increase its popularity."
"advertise?"
“It means to advertise it widely.”
At this moment, Wang Rong, dressed in a spotless white robe, appeared on the stage, looking as if he had stepped out of a scroll of poetry, books and ink. He looked at the huge crowd below the stage with a cheerful look and asked loudly, "Are the girls beautiful? Is the dance good?"
"nice!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"One more!"
Wang Rong signaled Chen Pingping to strike the gong, then took advantage of the moment of silence to bow and say, "Dear fellow villagers, dear brothers and sisters, I am Wang Rong. I placed second in this year's provincial examination organized by the Ministry of Rites. My father, Wang Anshi, has solved many criminal cases in the capital."
"In our Wang family, fairness and integrity are what we value most. My good friend Chen Ge, the young master of the [Medical Hall], is an expert in medicine, especially in beauty and skincare."
"We've set up a platform today to gather everyone together. We're here to meet the urgent needs of the people and bring treasures to the ladies and young ladies of our capital. Chen Ge has recreated a top-tier skincare product only available to the empresses of the Tang Dynasty—the Jade Maiden Peach Blossom Powder. Would you like to see it?"
"Lord Wang is upright and honest, redressing grievances for the people. He is a true justice! I trust their friends."
"[Medical Clinic] Manager Chen has a good reputation. Last year, during the locust plague, he even provided free porridge outside the city!"
"There is indeed a recipe for Jade Maiden Peach Blossom Powder, but the secret recipe has been lost for nearly two hundred years..."
"You're kidding! If it were truly restored, it would be preserved as a family heirloom. Why would you take it out and show it to everyone?"
…
"Zi Zheng, come up quickly, it's your turn to perform!"
Chen Ge looked at Wang Rong who was lip-syncing with him on the podium, made a "received" gesture, took Ouyang Qingqing's hand, and walked towards the podium. It was time to make an official announcement.
"Make way, make way."
Chen Ge walked up to the platform and looked at the crowd below. He felt a little nervous unconsciously. This was the first thing he had taken the initiative to plan after traveling to the Song Dynasty. He could only succeed and not fail.
Ouyang Qingqing sensed something was wrong with Chen Ge, and she squeezed his hand tightly. Then, with a smile on her face, she resumed her overlordly demeanor and said like a big sister, "Don't be afraid. I'm familiar with this situation!"
“…”
Chen Ge gave Ouyang Qingqing a reassuring look, took a large step forward, and walked to the edge of the platform. He said loudly, "I am Chen Ge, the young manager of the [Medical Hall]. As my good brother Wang Rong said, I am an expert in beauty and skin care."
"Just now, when we were at the stage, I heard someone saying, 'If Jade Maiden Peach Blossom Powder is so precious, why should I show it to everyone? Do you want to know?'"
"Hahaha, I do!"
Chen Ge continued his style of never stopping until he made a startling statement, saying, "The secret recipe is valuable, but money is even more valuable. If it's for love, both can be discarded."
There was an uproar in the audience. The poem was easy to understand and they all understood it. The core of it was just four words: because of love!
This was the Northern Song Dynasty, when Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was still in its infancy, and the separation between men and women was not as severe as in the Southern Song and Ming Dynasties. Countless men and women were looking forward to sweet love and longing for romance.
Chen Ge took Ouyang Qingqing's hand, walked in front of everyone, and proudly announced: "This is the girl I, Chen Ge, like. Her name is Ouyang Qingqing. This secret recipe is for her."
"Qingqing said that everyone loves beauty, and sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone. That's why we have this event today. We just want everyone's free blessing."
“Together, together!”
"How romantic! If someone openly says he likes me in front of so many people, I will ask my father to increase the dowry by another three points." A chubby girl with a Tang Dynasty style and weighing about 200 pounds had stars in her eyes and a look of anticipation.
As soon as these words were spoken, the area within ten feet around the fat girl was instantly cleared, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Ouyang Qingqing had not expected that Chen Ge would be so bold as to say in front of thousands of people that he liked her. Her heart was pounding like a deer, and she did not dare to look up.
