Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 483

Whoa!
Dong Cheng continued to scroll down.

Every time he turned it over, Dong Shuzhen held his hand tighter.

When he was about to turn a third of the way, Dong Shuzhen not only tightened her grip on him, but her whole body was trembling slightly.

Moreover, she looked at Zhu Xiuyuan pitifully and winked frequently, asking him to help.

Zhu Xiuyuan knew that if Dong Cheng continued to read, he might see a problem.

Because the manuscript paper at the back was either written by Qiu Wen or Xia Wu...

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law read it carefully just now. Madam, she wrote very well and seriously. The small mistake that my father-in-law discovered just now is actually not harmful to my son-in-law..."

Zhu Xiuyuan held up his hands and started speaking from the side.

Upon hearing this, Dong Cheng stopped reviewing and looked at him sideways.

"Besides, today is the New Year's Day meeting and the New Year's Day banquet. My father-in-law has been busy for a day, so he must be tired. Since my wife has written so well, there is no need to read the rest. My father-in-law's health is very important."

"Yes, Dad, what Xiu Yuan said makes sense. You should take a hot bath first, take a rest, and then wait for dinner." Dong Shuyu also advised.

Dong Shuzhen's eyes turned between her husband and her sister, and finally focused on Dong Cheng.

She didn't speak, she just pursed her lips and held her breath.

"Hey, that's fine too!"

Dong Cheng put down the rice paper completely.

In fact, he didn't feel tired at first, but after hearing what Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu said, he suddenly felt tired again.

"Zhen'er copied well, but copying a book is copying a book, and you need to understand the deep meaning of the book!" Dong Cheng looked sideways at his little daughter again, his face looked a little tired, but he was still preaching.

"Well, dad, don't worry, my daughter knows." Dong Shuzhen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Dong Cheng glanced at her, sighed softly, then looked at his eldest daughter Dong Shuyu, and said: "Yu'er, I would like to trouble you to explain the profound meaning of this book to her. If you know what it is, you must also explain it to her." Know why!”

"Yes, daddy, my daughter understands!" Dong Shuyu agreed.

Dong Cheng nodded with satisfaction, then went to take a bath and rest.

When things happened, Dong Shuyu also left. She had to make arrangements for today's dinner.

Today is New Year's Day, there are special requirements in terms of diet, some specific food needs to be eaten, Dong Shuyu has to arrange it personally.

After Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu left, when only Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuzhen, and the two maids Qiu Wen and Xia Wu were left in the study, Dong Shuzhen finally "alive"...

The scalding hot water flooding the body is indeed a kind of enjoyment in this cold winter.

Zhu Xiuyuan lay on his back in a huge bathtub, with his hands on the edge of the bathtub and his head leaning on it. He looked up at the steaming white mist that filled the room and felt ecstatic.

It's so comfortable!
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a voice came: "My dear, the hot water has been delivered, do you need to add more?"

This was Yan Dashan's voice.

That's right, Yan Dashan was responsible for adding water when Zhu Xiuyuan took a bath every day, because it was more convenient.

Although Qiu Wen is his personal maid, she has not yet been brought into the room.

So things like adding water for bathing are still inconvenient.

Ever since, this job fell on Yan Dashan.

"Well...then add it!"

Zhu Xiuyuan soaked in the hot water, feeling so comfortable that he didn't even bother to move.

He was really exhausted today, especially during the New Year's Day meeting, where he stood for several hours without daring to move...

This alone exhausted Zhu Xiuyuan.

Squeak!

The door opened, and Yan Dashan held a bucket of hot water, as if holding a feather, and poured the hot water into the bathtub effortlessly.

After Yan Dashan poured the water, he went straight out and closed the door behind him.

After Zhu Xiuyuan soaked comfortably for a while, the bath water gradually cooled down again.

So Yan Dashan added water again.

When Zhu Xiuyuan finished taking a bath, Yan Dashan actually added it back and forth seven or eight times.

Yan Dashan has a big body and a round waist. For him, adding hot water is as easy as bending down to pick up an object.

But in Zhu Xiuyuan's view, this matter is still too complicated.

It consumes too much manpower and material resources.

Not to mention that Yan Dashan had been waiting outside, and there were servants specializing in boiling hot water, etc. He was also very busy...

"Taking a bath is so troublesome. It seems that the artificial hot spring is about to be installed in the mansion..."

Zhu Xiuyuan muttered while dressing, thinking about the installation plan of the artificial hot spring.

When he came out of the bath, it was still early and it wasn't time for dinner yet, so Zhu Xiuyuan went back to his room and lay down on the couch to rest for a while.

However, just as he lay down, Dong Shuzhen broke into his room with Qiu Wen and Xia Wu.

"Madam, if you are not continuing to copy books in the study, why are you here when you are free?"

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, husband. I think we can finish copying it in two hours..."

Dong Shuzhen said, sitting on the edge of his bed and leaning over to look at him.

Suddenly, Dong Shuzhen fell down and lay half of her body on him.

She said delicately: "I haven't seen my husband all day today. When I was copying books, I missed my husband..."

Zhu Xiuyuan was hit, and he grinned, and a smile appeared on his face.

And he put his arm around her waist.

Beside the bed, the two maids Qiu Wen and Xia Wu covered their mouths and snickered, silently retreating outside the bed tent to wait on her.

"How much do you think?" Zhu Xiuyuan gently stroked her back. She felt slender and firm, and she had a very good figure for someone who practiced martial arts all year round.

"I really want to, really want to!" Dong Shuzhen twisted around and laughed non-stop. Zhu Xiuyuan stroked her back. She seemed to be ticklish and dodged there.

"What do you think?" The corners of Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth became wider and wider.

"Oh, husband, don't ask. Anyway, I really want to. If possible, I would like to attend the New Year's Day party with my husband..." Dong Shuzhen continued to dodge and laugh.

Suddenly, Dong Shuzhen broke away from Zhu Xiuyuan's hand and propped up her upper body with both hands. Her chubby little face was red and her smile was almost too big to hold. It could be seen that she was very happy from the inside out.

Zhu Xiuyuan was lying on his back, and his eyes accidentally moved down, and he caught a glimpse of her heart being slightly full, which was a little different from before.

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Dong Shuzhen was 17 years old after all...

Soon, the time came to You hour, and it was getting dark.

Dong Shuyu also sent someone to send a message, telling Zhu Xiuyuan and the others to prepare for dinner.

As a result, Dong Shuzhen, Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, the three masters and servants, waited on Zhu Xiuyuan to change clothes, and were busy running around.

Zhu Xiuyuan was too lazy to do anything and just let them do whatever they wanted.

Soon, Zhu Xiuyuan transformed into a troubled young man...

The flower hall of the main house.

The New Year's Day dinner of the uncle's house will be held here.

In fact, this New Year’s Day meal should be eaten at noon.

However, both Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng had to go to the palace to attend the New Year's Day gathering and the New Year's Day banquet, and there were only a few female dependents at home.

So I postponed this meal to evening.

"This is Tusu wine, this is peach soup, this is the five-spicy dish, this is the glutinous rice cake, this is the Tangzhongluo pills, and the rice cake..."

Dong Shuyu introduced today's special dishes to everyone.

Tusu wine, also called Jiaobai wine, is a must-drink during the New Year’s Day.

Peach soup is a secret soup made from peach wood using special cooking techniques. Drinking this soup has the implication of exorcising evil spirits.

The five-spicy dish, also known as the spring dish, contains garlic, garlic, leeks, brassicas, mustards, and seasonal vegetables.

Guayuan, which is actually maltose, is a dessert.Tangzhongluowan, similar to dumplings...

……

After Hehe's beautiful meal, everyone did not disperse. Instead, they cleared the table, placed tea, pastries, dried fruits, etc., and sat together to chat.

Dong Shuzhen was not able to participate, because Dong Cheng still remembered the punishment of copying "Nvjie" and sent her back to the study to copy the book.

In this flower hall, there are only three people, Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan, and Dong Shuyu.

The three of them talked about the upcoming restaurant over the New Year's Day delicacies on the dinner table.

"Judging from the current situation, everyone in the capital and the prefectures and counties surrounding the capital should be aware of the fine wines in our mansion. After this New Year's Day banquet, I believe that the reputation of our fine wines will follow this. Thousands of local officials were brought to every corner of the country!" Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu nodded in unison.

Yes, Zhu Xiuyuan's newly brewed wine is extremely delicious and deserves the title of the best wine in the world.

Now, through the publicity of giving a banquet on New Year's Day, its name will become even louder!
"Then when can our restaurant open?" Dong Cheng suddenly asked.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu looked at each other, and finally Zhu Xiuyuan said: "The new dishes and fine wines required to open the restaurant have been prepared. Most of the decoration of the restaurant has been completed. It is estimated that it will take five or six days. Our The restaurant is ready to open!”

"By the way, the specialties of our restaurant are fine wine, new cuisine, and artificial hot springs. This fine wine is already famous all over the world, so what about this new cuisine..."

"Well, Shuyu is right. We also need to find a way to make the name of the new cuisine famous. Just relying on the name of the wine is not enough. As for the artificial hot springs, there is no need to publicize it."

"Does your virtuous son-in-law have any good tips on how to make that new dish famous?" Dong Cheng asked again.

"Uh... let me think about this for a while, but I'm not in a hurry."

"By the way, dad, Xiuyuan, we have one more thing that we must solve first."

"what's up?"

"Name, what exactly should the restaurant be called?"

When Dong Shuyu mentioned this, both Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng fell silent.

Dong Cheng usually doesn't care about these things at all, so he naturally wouldn't think of naming.

Zhu Xiuyuan hadn't thought about this issue either. After Dong Shuyu mentioned it, he realized that indeed, it was time to name the restaurant and get it right.

Everyone brainstormed and tried to come up with several names, but everyone felt that it was not appropriate.

Suddenly, Zhu Xiuyuan remembered the names "Zhenjiu" and "Jade Wine"...

With a thought in his mind, he already had the name of a restaurant.

It's just... He glanced at Dong Shuyu and then at Dong Cheng, still a little hesitant. Was the name he chose too... too obvious?
Zhu Xiuyuan's "want to talk" expression fell into Dong Shuyu's eyes, and she couldn't help but encourage: "Did Xiuyuan think of any good names? You might as well say it, and dad and I will judge it together."

Zhu Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and was ready to speak out, because he even named the wines "Zhenjiu" and "Jade Wine", so what else were he afraid of?
If you are a manly man, you still need to be direct and have a little courage.

So, with the anticipation of Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu, Zhu Xiuyuan opened his mouth and spit out three words: "Dong Yulou!"

Dong Yulou? !

Father and daughter Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu had different reactions when they heard this name.

Dong Cheng's brows moved slightly, and his emotions suddenly started to fluctuate again. At that moment, he thought a lot... His eldest daughter's problem was always a thorn in his heart...

Although Dong Cheng was complicated in his heart, he didn't show much on the surface. He seemed to be as usual, as if he didn't appreciate the meaning contained in this name.

However, Dong Cheng did not speak. He was not eager to judge the merits of this name like before. Instead, he quietly observed the reactions of Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu.

Dong Shuyu was so smart that he naturally tasted the meaning of the name immediately and guessed Zhu Xiuyuan's little thoughts.

A blush like morning glow climbed up her delicate and fair cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She lowered her head and said nothing.

Zhu Xiuyuan was also observing the reactions of Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu, but did not say anything.

As a result, the entire flower hall suddenly became quiet.

Dong Cheng pondered for a while and quickly came up with an idea. He did not ask Zhu Xiuyuan or judge the name of the restaurant, but asked Dong Shuyu: "Yu'er, what do you think of the name 'Dong Yulou'? use?"

After asking, Dong Cheng looked at Dong Shuyu carefully without blinking.

He wanted to confirm something by observing Dong Shuyu's spirit.

If Dong Shuyu refused the name, Dong Cheng decided to give up that idea, and tried to find a way to send Dong Shuyu away, and even moved out of Jiangcheng Bo's mansion.

If she agrees, it means that there is something to be expected, and he will try his best to make it happen.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu understood what Dong Cheng's question was about.

Although Dong Shuyu was flustered and restless, she still retained a trace of reason. How could she not understand that Dong Cheng was testing her mind.

Moreover, she also guessed what different decisions Dong Cheng would make after knowing her thoughts...

For Dong Shuyu, this is really a difficult decision.

She raised her eyes slightly and stared at Zhu Xiuyuan. Little did she know that Zhu Xiuyuan was also staring at her. Their eyes met, and she clearly noticed the expectation in his eyes.

After a brief moment of eye contact, she lowered her head again, not daring to look further.

Moreover, Dong Shuyu's entire face was red and congested, and she felt hot.

Dong Shuyu wanted to refuse harshly, because she really couldn't marry Zhu Xiuyuan, she would kill him, and she couldn't harm him.

However, the anticipation in Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes was still lingering in her mind.

If she refused, maybe Dong Cheng would arrange for her to leave Jiangcheng Uncle's Mansion. At that time... she couldn't bear to not see Zhu Xiuyuan, nor could she bear to let Zhu Xiuyuan be disappointed.

Really tangled!
"Shuyu, don't think too much, just make your decision based on your heart." Zhu Xiuyuan said suddenly.

Do you do it with your heart?

Dong Shuyu's head felt hot, and emotions suddenly emerged in his heart, like a fountain, drowning everything in an instant.

She opened her red lips and whispered a few words: "I think it's okay..."

Dong Shuyu finally gave a positive answer.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Zhu Xiuyuan naturally hopes that Dong Shuyu can stay with him, so that he can continue to grind her. I believe that one day, she will agree.

From the bottom of his heart, Dong Cheng also hoped that Dong Shuyu would agree.

In fact, he didn't believe what Croft said and thought it was nonsense.

But if others believed it, even the matchmakers would not dare to come to the door, so Dong Cheng had no choice but to do anything.

Now, since his virtuous son-in-law is interested in Dong Shuyu, he might as well be betrothed to him directly.

Dong Cheng firmly believes that Zhu Xiuyuan will be a good husband.

Because his ability is so powerful and he is a good person, Dong Cheng, as the father-in-law, really likes Zhu Xiuyuan as his son-in-law more and more.

Although, marrying two daughters to the same man made his face a little dull.

But his eldest daughter has a bad "reputation" outside and may not be able to get married in her lifetime.

In addition, his son-in-law satisfies him so much that his future achievements are limitless!
These two phases, one decreasing and the other increasing, are just right.

By marrying Zhu Xiuyuan, she found a good home.

Or to put it more bluntly, it’s rare for someone to want her and not be afraid of her wearing the hat of “Kefu”... Just be content!

Thinking of this, the little bit of dissatisfaction in Dong Cheng's heart disappeared completely.

As for what his youngest daughter Dong Shuzhen would think, Dong Cheng really hadn't thought about it.

First of all, children must obey their parents' arrangements when it comes to marriage matters, and Dong Cheng firmly believes in this.He wants to marry his eldest daughter to the younger daughter's husband. How dare the younger daughter complain?

Secondly, Dong Cheng is actually not worried that there will be conflicts in the family in the future.

Because Dong Shuzhen and Dong Shuyu were born sisters. Although they serve the same husband together, their sisterly love should not change.

On the contrary, it will be more harmonious.

Dong Cheng has absolute confidence in just one point.

Because he watched the two sisters Dong Shuzhen and Dong Shuyu grow up.
