There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 349 Another Date

Princess Changning was relieved upon hearing this.

Li Shuchen was equally relieved; she greatly admired Cheng Zhian's character. She looked at Princess Changning and said...

"In that case, I'll give it to you once I've developed the pill."

Princess Changning nodded and took out an exquisite invitation from her bosom, handing it to Li Shuchen: "I don't know if the banquet will be canceled, so I'm giving you this invitation first."

Li Shuchen reached out and took it: "Okay, I will develop the pills as soon as possible and do my best to ruin this son-in-law selection banquet."

Princess Changning nodded obediently: "Mmm."

Cheng Zhian glanced at the sky outside the window and said politely, "Dusk has fallen, I should go. I'll pick you up at 9 a.m. tomorrow. You don't need to get up early, get a good night's sleep."

"it is good"

Li Shuchen got up to see him off.

Princess Changning followed behind, saying, "I'm going back too. My mother ordered a dress to be made for me; they're waiting to see what they have to report."

Li Shuchen: "Okay, be careful on the road, and remember not to give yourself away in front of your mother."

I have come to this conclusion through self-reflection.

After Princess Changning finished speaking, she left the Happiness Inn.

Li Shuchen closed the door, picked up a grape, sat down on a stool, and began to ask the auspicious system.

"Little Jizi, you should have that kind of medicine I mentioned earlier, right?"

【Autumn Red Powder】

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen shook his head: "Qiuhong Powder won't work. Its side effects are too severe, and the rashes it causes will leave scars even after treatment. Changning loves beauty, and we absolutely cannot let her be disfigured."

The system store does not have the drug the host requested.

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen remained calm, leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed, and said languidly, "The system's marketplace has all sorts of rare and precious items from all over the world; it's impossible that it doesn't have this."

The system store does not have the drug the host requested.

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen stroked his chin: "You've been sleeping for a long time and have recovered a lot of energy. If it's not in the system shop, surely you have it in your program? Even if you don't have the physical item, you can give me the recipe, and I'll make it myself."

【…】

"Silence means you have the answer. Now give me the formula."

Li Shuchen walked to the table, picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and just as he touched the paper, a sentence echoed in his mind.

Developing the formula requires a large amount of energy.

The pen paused on the paper, leaving a large ink blot. Li Shuchen thought for a moment and promised, "I will go and earn money to help you recover your energy. You can rest assured."

[Developing the formula will take time; please wait patiently, host.]

The mechanical voice was tinged with helplessness and indulgence.

Li Shuchen smiled and agreed, her eyes crinkling, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

He then lowered his head and continued drawing the unfinished autumn clothing design from before.

The next day, Li Shuchen got up early. Although Cheng Zhian told her to sleep in, she wanted to dress up nicely.

So, she carefully selected her clothes, jewelry, and makeup before making a final decision.

An hour (two hours) had passed by the time this operation was completed.

"Miss, Young Master Cheng has arrived and is waiting downstairs."

After Grape finished speaking, Li Shuchen smoothed the bellflower hairpin in his hair and said, "Understood."

She then got up and went downstairs. The moment she saw Cheng Zhi'an, her eyes crinkled into a smile, and she said in a sweet, soft voice, "I've kept you waiting, Cheng Lang."

"Chenchen is so beautiful, it's worth the wait, no matter how long. Besides, I just arrived, I haven't been waiting long."

Cheng Zhian smiled and helped Li Shuchen towards the carriage.

This sparked a flurry of gossip among the crowd, with many speculating that the two had reconciled.

As soon as Li Shuchen entered the carriage, his smiling face disappeared, and he leaned lazily to one side, eating an orange.

Cheng Zhian sat opposite her and said, "Why are you so exquisite today?"

Li Shuchen spat out a seed and said, "When going on a date with someone you love, you always dress up carefully to show them your best side. My dressing up is proof that our feelings are real; it's a basic professional quality for an actor."

Cheng Zhi'an smiled upon hearing this: "That makes sense. I've also changed into new clothes today. What do you think?"

Li Shuchen chewed on an orange, sizing up Cheng Zhian.

"This azure robe really enhances your scholarly air, giving off a comfortable, peaceful, and very reassuring feeling."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhi'an lowered her head and smiled faintly: "If you like it, then that's good."

The carriage arrived at the bustling East Market.

The two then engaged in another tender, affectionate display, lingering together before finally leaving the carriage and walking side by side.

This action attracted the curious glances of many pedestrians.

Ignoring everyone else, the two continued walking inside, eventually arriving at a jewelry stall.

Li Shuchen stopped, glanced at the jewelry, then at Cheng Zhian, his meaning clear.

Cheng Zhi'an immediately understood and picked up a butterfly hairpin, inserting it into Li Shuchen's hair.

"This hairpin shines brightly in the sunlight, making it perfect for Chenchen. Wearing this hairpin, Chenchen radiates light and brilliance, just like the sun."

The jewelry shop owner chuckled and said, "Young master, you have an excellent eye. This hairpin is the most expensive and beautiful one in my stall; there is absolutely no other like it. Wearing it will not only make you look pretentious, but also highlight your uniqueness."

Cheng Zhi'an was very satisfied after hearing this and asked with a smile, "How much silver is needed to buy it?"

The jewelry shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he said, "It would normally cost one hundred and fifty taels of silver, but since your relationship is so genuine and beautiful, I'll give you one hundred taels of silver, young master."

Li Shuchen glanced at the shopkeeper's expression and, upon hearing the price of the hairpin, realized that the shopkeeper thought Cheng Zhian was a sucker and was going to rip him off.

A simple hairpin, ten taels of silver at most, so she spoke up in a delicate and weak voice.

"Cheng Lang, this hairpin is too expensive, I don't want it."

She then began to remove the butterfly hairpin from her head.

But Cheng Zhian grabbed him and held him down.

"This looks good on Chenchen. I have the money to buy it for Chenchen. Chenchen doesn't need to save money for me; all my money is for Chenchen."

These words drew envy from the surrounding girls, and even the married women couldn't help but glance at Cheng Zhian several times, their eyes filled with regret.

Cheng Zhi'an picked up his purse, took out a hundred-tael silver note, and handed it to the jewelry shop owner.

Seeing that Cheng Zhian had actually paid, Li Shuchen immediately sprang into action, clasping his hands together beside his face, contorting his body, and exaggerating his movements.

"Wow~ Oh~, Cheng Lang is so good to me~, he's even willing to buy me a hairpin that costs a hundred taels of silver~, I'm so incredibly lucky~, thank you Cheng Lang~"

Her voice was loud and sweet, giving many passersby goosebumps.

The passersby then stared at the two with even more intense gazes, as if they were gossiping about the most juicy gossip.

Li Shuchen pulled Cheng Zhian closer and whispered, "Are you stupid? That boss is deliberately ripping you off, can't you even see that?"

"I know, I'm willing."

Cheng Zhi'an returned quickly and walked forward calmly.

Li Shuchen didn't understand this behavior and followed absentmindedly.

"There's an accessories stall here, let's go take a look."

Cheng Zhian's voice brought Li Shuchen back to his senses, and he quickly followed after Xiang Kan.

Before he had even looked at anything he liked, Cheng Zhian bought a jade pendant and hung it on his waist.

Then, Li Shuchen was pulled by Cheng Zhian to another jewelry stall, where she bought a piece of jewelry, and then to another accessory stall, where she bought an accessory.
