Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 407 Chapter 407. Speechless
"Father-in-law's praise, son-in-law is ashamed. Father-in-law, Shuyu, this is not a place to talk, and now it's approaching noon, we might as well go back to the mansion first, the mansion has prepared a cleansing feast, and we'll be waiting for you two!"

"it is good!"

So everyone packed up their things and prepared to set off back home.

……

Half an hour later, Zhu Xiuyuan and his party arrived at the gate of Jiangcheng Uncle's Mansion.

"Jiangcheng Uncle's Mansion!"

Dong Cheng raised his head and looked at the black plaque with gold characters. He stood there for a long time. A joy spread on his face that he could not hide.

Dong Shuyu, on the other hand, lost his mind for a moment.

Because she saw the two big red lanterns and the word "囍" stuck on them.

Today, Dong Shuyu officially moved into Jiangcheng Bo's Mansion, but the word "囍" was pasted on the big lantern in front of the door...

It's strange that Dong Shuyu, who is thoughtful and considerate, doesn't have random thoughts in his mind.

Entering the mansion, you can see that every corridor, even the eaves, doors and windows, are all hung with red silk and plastered with the word "囍"...

It looks like they are going to get married!

Dong Shuyu's expression became inexplicably complicated...

Zhu Xiuyuan actually noticed her abnormality immediately. This scene was indeed too strange.

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan made a special excuse to reveal Dong Shuzhen's random decoration of the mansion, and Dong Shuzhen's embarrassment also dispelled Dong Shuyu's miscellaneous thoughts.

……

After the grand reception banquet, Dong Cheng worked tirelessly and without rest for a moment, he immediately went out to visit Shangguan, the governor of Runzhou Prefecture, to prepare for his appointment.

Zhu Xiuyuan stayed in the mansion to accompany the two Dong sisters.

The flower hall of the main house.

"Shuyu, the building of the Buddhist hall you want has been completed, and now the golden body of the Buddha statue is being molded. It will take more than a month before it will be completed."

Zhu Xiuyuan laughed, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and chatted while cracking them.

A few of them gathered together, and the table was filled with melon and fruit cakes, candied dried fruits, and tea.

"Then...thank you Xiuyuan!"

Dong Shuyu's face turned red and slightly unnatural.

That Buddhist temple was just something she blurted out last time "without restraint." If it were to happen again, she would definitely reject it and say not to build it at all.

But the only thing missing from that Buddhist hall is the golden statue of Buddha. Most of it has been built, so naturally it’s hard to say “Don’t build it” anymore.

"The horse farm has been built, and there are more than a dozen ponies raised...Sister, why don't Zhen'er teach you how to ride a horse later? Those ponies are really fun!"

Dong Shuzhen was smiling all over her face. Now that her father and sister were together, it seemed as if she had returned to the past. When she was in Jiangzhou, she always had a smile on her face.

"No, no, no..."

Dong Shuyu smiled and refused: "My body is not suitable for riding horses, so you guys should have fun."

"Oh, sister, think about it again, what else needs to be built? Just tell Yan Dashan to do it. Anyway, there are still a lot of empty spaces in the mansion."

"There's no rush. Let's talk about it later."

"By the way, Shuyu, how are you preparing for the tea house's relocation to the capital? I was wandering around the city a few days ago. I saw a shop on the bank of the Qinhuai River. The location was very good and the shop was quite big. I It's been taken down by someone."

"Let's take some time to take a look in person. If you're not satisfied with Shuyu, we'll change it."

"Well, that's fine too."

Dong Shuyu nodded, and her face lit up when she talked about business matters.

"The tea house in Jiangzhou is ready and can be moved to the capital at any time. Why don't we go to the Qinhuai River later and take a look at the location first. If there are no problems, we can move tomorrow."

"Well, that's fine too."

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded in agreement and came down.

Suddenly, he remembered "investing in a restaurant" again, so he continued:
"By the way, Shuyu, I see that the business of restaurants in Fengwu Port is very good. In the past few days, I have had the idea of ​​opening a restaurant."

"Oh, open a restaurant?"

Dong Shuyu was slightly surprised.

Dong Shuzhen was a little dazed.

Qiu Wen, who was serving as one of the side maids, suddenly had bright eyes.

If you open a restaurant, won't you have something to eat in the future?
Qiuwen couldn't help swallowing secretly.

"Well, I have already thought about opening a restaurant. Shuyu, do you still remember the new dishes we cooked for Master during those three months?"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled meaningfully.

"Xiuyuan, you mean...the newly opened restaurant specializes in new dishes?" Dong Shuyu guessed Zhu Xiuyuan's thoughts immediately.

this is a good idea.

Her eyes also lit up.

"Yes, we specialize in new dishes. I believe that with a little bit of skill, the new dishes will become an instant hit. This is a unique new dish that cannot be found anywhere else. By then, the restaurant's business will be booming! "

"Hmm, good idea!"

"But Shuyu, I don't have this ambition, and my wife is too young, so... I would like to ask you to be the shopkeeper of the restaurant and be responsible for all the affairs of the restaurant. I wonder what Shuyu wants?"

Zhu Xiuyuan asked tentatively.

"Yes, sister, Zhen'er hasn't grown up yet, so she doesn't know how to run a restaurant. Sister, just agree to your husband!"

Dong Shuzhen also started to dawdle.

"That's fine, I'm familiar with those new dishes anyway..."

Dong Shuyu thought for a moment and agreed. In fact, she was secretly excited.

She likes business affairs.

Only by devoting herself to this matter and being busy can she forget all her worries...

After finalizing the matter, without further delay, they set off immediately to the Qinhuai River to see Zhu Xiuyuan's shop, and also to see which place was suitable for opening a restaurant.

……

Zhu Xiuyuan's shop is in a good location and has a lot of traffic. It faces the Qinhuai River and is flanked by an alley called "Wuyi Lane".

This is a golden pavement.

Zhu Xiuyuan spent a lot of money to get it.

However, Emperor Chen's reward was a lot of money and food, and he had a lot of money in his hands. The money he paid for this shop was only a drizzle.

This shop is a three-door shop, very spacious, with three rooms at the back that can be converted into a warehouse, reception room, and office.

Dong Shuyu was very satisfied.

So it was happily decided that Dong's Tea House would be moved here.

Without further delay, Zhu Xiuyuan immediately hired craftsmen to renovate the shop according to Dong Shuyu's wishes...

After handing over the craftsmen, Zhu Xiuyuan led the Dong sisters to wander along the Qinhuai River, firstly to find a suitable location for opening a restaurant, and secondly, to take a walk and play.

They really ate a lot of delicious snacks from street vendors...

However, after walking around for a long time, they couldn't find a suitable location, and it was getting dark, so everyone set off back home.

They returned to the uncle's house, and as soon as they sat down, their father-in-law Dong Cheng also came back, his face full of joy.

Zhu Xiuyuan hurriedly asked how the trip was.

Dong Cheng smiled and said: "Very good, Lord Fu Yin was very accommodating and handed over all the official uniforms, official seals, etc. that he had prepared to me... But..."

The smile on Dong Cheng's face was slightly restrained, and his brows were slightly frowned.

"Father-in-law, what is it?"

"But I always feel that Mr. Fu Yin seems... a little cautious and treats me too well, but he also has the intention of sending me away as soon as possible..."

Dong Cheng murmured, looking very confused.

Zhu Xiuyuan naturally knew what was going on.

He laughed dryly for a while, and then told one by one the major events that had happened in the capital in the past few days since he arrived in the capital.

Including the "Other Country's Detailed Work" case and the "Shenlei Army Camp" case.

And those two rumors.

And the fact that the "catastrophe" hat on his head is getting tighter and tighter.

Zhu Xiuyuan told everything without omitting anything.

When he was in Jiangzhou, Dong Cheng was Zhu Xiuyuan's "life mentor". When he was indecisive, Zhu Xiuyuan would ask Dong Cheng for advice.

He explained these situations clearly this time, with the intention of explaining to Dong Cheng that he could help him plan when the time comes.

After hearing this, Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu stayed there.

Zhu Xiuyuan came to Beijing and caused so much commotion in just a few days. This is really...

It's speechless!

In this way, the governor's strange attitude makes sense.
