Yun Zhizhi gently hugged him back, slowly raised her head, and teased him playfully, "Are you really sure you'll have time whenever I come to find you?"
"Don't leave me all alone and neglected."
Her bright, star-like eyes sparkled with a hint of playfulness and anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin chuckled softly and replied gently, "As long as you come to me, unless it is something extremely important that requires immediate attention, I will always be available here."
His gaze was deep and focused, as if the woman before him was the only thing in the entire world.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi smiled in response, her smile as radiant and captivating as a flower blooming in spring.
At this moment, Zhao Yunjin spoke up again: "By the way, I also want to thank you on behalf of my eighth sister and tenth brother for the dolls you gave them."
"They love it so much that they hold it tightly all day long and won't let go, and they even have to hold it to fall asleep at night."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi's lips parted into an even wider grin, revealing a row of clean, even teeth:
"If they like them, that's good. Actually, I also brought twenty other dolls this time. You can pick some to send to the palace later for the Emperor, Empress, and Empress Dowager to use as cushions."
"The rest can be placed in the main hall, so that when guests come to visit, they can use them to cushion their backs, which is also very good."
She paused for a moment, then slowly reached out and took the adorable little seal pillow from Zhao Wu's broad palm.
Then he showed it to Zhao Yunjin: "Ta-da! This is a little seal pillow that I specially asked an embroiderer to make. Compared with the little seal pillow I sell, it is not only cuter and more charming in appearance, but also as soft as a cloud to the touch."
"Put it on the chair in your study. When you feel tired from reading or doing business, you can use it to support your back, which may make you more comfortable."
Zhao Yunjin gazed at her quietly, his eyes deep and gentle, like a clear lake.
He bent down slightly, gently patted her head, and a warm smile, like the spring sunshine, unconsciously appeared on his lips as he softly replied, "Okay!"
Today, with two more capable assistants at the stall, the happiest of all is Yun Zhizhi!
When everyone saw that Master Xuanzhen and Doctor Zhou were dressed as Bald Qiang and Salty Fish Stick dolls respectively, they all laughed so hard they almost fell over.
He Yang, in particular, had a laugh that was absolutely deafening.
"Old man Xuanzhen, your Bald Qiang look is absolutely amazing! Your bald head and that unusually prominent nose are exactly like Bald Qiang's!"
After saying that, He Yang glanced at Doctor Zhou lying on the chair and teased him, barely suppressing a laugh, "Old Zhou, you look so listless and lifeless, you're just like a salted fish!"
Wearing a salted fish stick mascot costume, Dr. Zhou, who was lying comfortably, sighed helplessly.
Then, he glared at He Yang and said irritably, "Shut up!"
Right now, he just wants to be alone!
It's all that old geezer Xuanzhen's fault; I promised to give him a surprise.
More like a fright.
Master Xuanzhen glanced at He Yang, who was dressed as Lazy Sheep, sneered, and retorted, "What makes you think you're any better? That thing on your head is no different from poop, it's hilarious."
At this moment, Xiao Tao leaned close to Zhao Wu's ear and whispered, "Those three are so funny! It's good that they're there for comparison, otherwise our master's strawberry bear outfit would look even cuter."
Zhao Wu nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement.
As evening fell, Yun Zhizhi and her group rode in three antique-style carriages and slowly made their way to the open space next to Chunfeng Tower.
The moment the carriage curtain was lifted, everyone was stunned and speechless by what they saw.
A large crowd of people could be seen thronging the open space not far from the entrance of Chunfeng Tower.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that most of the people in the crowd were adults, with young children tightly holding their hands behind their backs.
Some women also walked in groups, their faces beaming with excitement and anticipation.
At the edge of the crowd, there were many young men, either alone or in small groups, who had clearly come specifically to join in the fun.
In fact, it wasn't just Yun Zhizhi and the others who were shocked by the lively scene; Qin, the madam of Chunfeng Tower, had already felt the same way a quarter of an hour earlier.
At that time, Madam Qin was dressing up in the room when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Soon after, her servants rushed in to report that a large group of people had gathered at the door.
Upon hearing this news, Madam Qin was overjoyed.
She had assumed that all these people were there to support her Chunfeng Tower.
Overjoyed, Madam Qin hurriedly put down her comb, neglecting to fix her makeup, and ran to the door to greet them.
However, when she ran breathlessly to the door and saw so many children and women gathered there, her hopeful heart shattered into countless pieces, scattered all over the ground.
Isn't that obvious?
They were all there for Yun Zhizhi's stall; it had nothing to do with her.
Later, she discovered it.
Actually, it has a lot to do with her.
Because so many children and young women came, the young men were afraid of being caught red-handed, so they dared not come to their Spring Breeze Pavilion to enjoy themselves.
As expected, she lost a considerable amount of money.
As soon as Doctor Zhou got off the carriage, he regretted it again and again.
He pointed at the group of people and asked, "Didn't you say that Linhua Street is usually quite deserted, with hardly anyone around during the day?"
How can there be so many people!
This is so embarrassing!
He's a renowned physician in the martial arts world, yet he's reduced to dressing up as a salted fish doll to solicit business.
If word gets out, where will he put his old face?
My head is throbbing with pain.
He Yang touched the pile of poop on his head and flattered him with a grin: "There really weren't many people the other day. Could it be that they sensed that you two important people were coming and came to show their support?"
Master Xuanzhen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You've finally said something sensible."
Just when everyone was caught off guard, four lifelike live-action dolls—Bald Qiang, Salty Fish Stick, Strawberry Bear, and Lazy Sheep—suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
In an instant, the scene erupted as if a bomb had been detonated.
A series of exclamations and gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd.
The children were the most excited of all.
Like a flock of birds released from their cages, they screeched and rushed in from all directions, quickly surrounding Yun Zhizhi and the other three.
