Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 234 Doing Women's Business
The old lady put the box on the table, and said softly: "Tell me later, don't let those little girls hang out in the garden, it's not a rule."

Nanny Yang nodded in agreement.

A few days later, the Changchun Garden gradually returned to its former calm, and those idle figures disappeared.

As the day when the new store opened was getting closer, Shen Yuechen became busier and busier, getting up early and going to bed late every day, often so tired that his brain ached.

Sometimes, she also feels that if she asks for trouble, why bother to make such a fuss, the effort is not pleasing.

Although the incident of taking concubines has subsided, the aftermath has not disappeared.

After Zhu Jintang came back from the capital, he stayed in the main room every night and never went to other people's rooms.

After Li Shi heard about this, she was very sad, but she didn't want to say anything in front of her son, so she could only sulk secretly.

Shen Yuechen was grateful to Zhu Jintang, and took more care of his body, eating more, sleeping more and exercising more, going for a walk in the garden every now and then, and supervising the workers.

However, there are pros and cons to everything.Zhu Jintang was at a young age, full of energy, and occasionally became presumptuous, which made her very embarrassed, but she couldn't refuse, lest others would take advantage of it.Fortunately, most of the time, Zhu Jintang is still a very self-disciplined person and will not be too aggressive.

In order to take care of his body, Shen Yuechen almost ate the soup as a meal, but there was still no movement on his body.

Dr. Lu came and went so many times, and every time he checked her pulse, he said almost the same thing.

Shen Yuechen couldn't help feeling slightly annoyed after hearing this, and couldn't help but sighed: "Doctor Lu, every time you checked my pulse, you said it was fine, but... the time dragged on, but there was still no news, which is unavoidable. Very impatient."

She wasn't an anxious person at first, maybe because there were too many things going on recently, which kept her from being a little sensitive, so she became a little impatient.

She had had enough of eating tonic soup and soup medicine every day, and sometimes, just smelling the smell of chicken soup and ginseng soup made her feel sick and want to vomit.

When Dr. Lu heard this, he couldn't help saying earnestly: "Grandma, please don't be impatient. It's not easy to give birth, not to mention your thin body and weak blood. Naturally, it is more difficult than ordinary people to conceive a child." Some. However, persistence is the most important thing in everything, and if you are persistent, grandma, good luck will come sooner."

Shen Yuechen also knew that Doctor Lu was a safe person, so she nodded and said, "What the doctor said is reasonable, maybe my fate with that child hasn't come yet." After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something again, and said, "But , My menstruation has been delayed this month, and I haven't come yet, is there any problem?"

Her monthly letters used to be irregular and sometimes delayed, but in the past six months, this kind of situation has been rare.

Dr. Lu had just been diagnosed with the pulse, so he thought: "Grandma has been working too much recently, and she is nervous, resulting in a lack of energy and blood. It's okay to delay for a few days. Don't worry, eat more food that nourishes energy and blood. Take a good rest. After a few days, the old man will come and take a closer look for you."

Shen Yuechen originally had some expectations in her heart, thinking that there might be some good news, but the sky did not come true, Dr. Lu spoke carefully, which reassured her, but also disappointed her.

Afterwards, Mama Wu sent Dr. Lu out in person, and when she returned to the room, she saw Shen Yuechen sitting on the edge of the bed, stretching out her hand to gently cover her stomach, with a gloomy expression, and couldn't help but feel pain.

The lady has everything now, only one child is needed to be safe and secure.However, this good luck has not come for a long time, which makes people anxious and helpless.

Wu Ma shook her head secretly, thinking that it would be useless for her to be sad, she might as well go to the kitchen and give her more delicious food, that's the most important thing.

However, facing those supplements, Shen Yuechen completely lost his appetite, and couldn't even eat them, and felt like vomiting after smelling them.

Shen Yuechen pushed away the soup bowl and smiled helplessly.Look at what she looks like now, if she didn't know, she would think she was pregnant.Unfortunately, everything is for nothing.

Seeing that she didn't move a few mouthfuls, Mama Wu couldn't help worrying: "Miss's appetite is not as much as it was a few days ago."

Shen Yuechen said: "It's okay to miss a meal, it's really uncomfortable to eat and eat all day long. I want to go for a walk in the garden, maybe I'll have an appetite when I come back."

When a person is hungry, even simple food is delicious, so, she thought, it is good to let herself go hungry.

In the next few days, while Shen Yuechen continued to confirm the big and small things that needed to be paid attention to when the new store opened, she frantically flipped through the recipes in medical books, as well as the various secret recipes for giving birth that her grandmother had given her before, busy at both ends and worrying at the same time.

The opening day of the new store has been selected according to the almanac.However, the Zhu family seemed to have no interest in this, and they didn't intend to join in the show, so they just let her figure it out.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen didn't feel any displeasure in her heart, and just silently agreed.

However, on the day when the new store opened, although none of the elders came to support him, Zhu Jintang suddenly appeared and gave Shen Yuechen a big surprise.

"Didn't the uncle say that he was going out of the city? Why..." Shen Yuechen's eyes were shining, and he couldn't believe it.

Zhu Jintang deliberately smiled and said nothing, but ordered someone to bring up the congratulatory gifts prepared in advance.

Lucky bamboo, fortune tree, jade cabbage, and two long strings of firecrackers, almost everything he could think of was sent over.

Shen Yuechen was slightly taken aback, wondering when he had prepared so much.

Shen Yuechen originally wanted to keep everything simple, but he didn't expect that after Zhu Jintang came, the place would become full of ostentation and lively atmosphere in an instant.

The booming firecrackers crackled and ignited, and the sound was deafening, attracting many passers-by and merchants who watched the excitement.

Zhu Jintang stepped on the bamboo ladder himself, and pulled down the red silk covering the plaque, revealing the three big characters of "Tianxianglou" in gold and color.These three words were written by Shen Yuechen himself, and then a plaque was made by a master craftsman.

Shen Yuechen's calligraphy is amazing, and he wrote the three big characters gracefully, tall and straight without losing the grandeur.

Shen Yuechen originally wanted to name the new store "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance", but felt that the name was too evocative and easy to arouse people's imagination, so he simplified it and changed it to the current "Tianxianglou".

As its name suggests, just standing at the door, you can feel a faint fragrance coming. In addition, the inside and outside of Tianxiang Building are newly decorated. It looks exquisite and cute, which makes people want to go in and have a look. after all.

However, just when everyone was impatient to enter the door, Shen Yuechen clapped his hands suddenly, and motioned to the servant beside him to bring out a "No Male Customers" signboard and put it up at the door, causing everyone to be surprised and discussing: "What's going on? How does this store do business? It doesn't accept male customers... It's really unreasonable!"

Shen Yuechen stood in front of the door, smiled slightly at everyone, and said, "Everyone, today is the first day of my Tianxianglou opening, thank you very much for coming, but my Tianxianglou is a shop specially designed for women. Therefore, I would like to decline the male guests, and I hope that you will be more understanding."

However, she has also made sufficient preparations, and will not let these people who came to congratulate them return empty-handed, and prepared a lot of red envelopes as gifts in return.

The male guests stopped outside and were closely watched by more than a dozen young servants outside the door, while the female guests walked in twos and threes, and were warmly greeted by the neatly dressed maids all the way in.

As soon as Shen Yuechen said this, it once again caused dissatisfaction among the crowd. However, there were also many female guests who heard their hearts moved, and stepped forward again and again, eager to go in and see what kind of place it was inside.

In this huge Texas city, there has never been such a precedent, such a place that only entertains female guests.Moreover, the decoration is so exquisite and elegant that people can't help but be curious.

It was clearly written "No male customers" at the door, but the more people squeezed outside to watch the fun.People are born with a curiosity-seeking heart, the more they can't see it, the more they want to see it.

When Shen Yuechen opened the store, she had already decided that in order to avoid the embarrassment of showing herself in public and to concentrate on her business, her new store would not entertain men.

Standing beside Shen Yuechen, Zhu Jintang said with a faint smile: "It seems that I don't have the good luck either, so I went in to see what happened."

Shen Yuechen looked at him and said with a smile: "My uncle can come to support me, I am very grateful, but the rules are the rules. After I return home, I will definitely thank you very much."

Listening to her tone, Zhu Jintang really had the aura of a proprietress, and smiled and said, "You are the boss, so it's up to you."

Do women's business only.

Shen Yuechen's idea of ​​finding a different way not only attracted the crowd to watch, but also aroused a lot of discussion.

For the conservative and rigid ancient people, what is the meaning of having a house full of children and family members, it is nothing more than those things that are daubed and mended, and it does not seem like their men can gather together to drink and listen to music , looking for fun... Those men who were rejected, looked at the exquisite and dignified appearance of Tianxianglou, and the appearance of Zhu Jintang, the eldest son of the Zhu family, and his wife, Shen Yuechen, looking at each other and smiling, and started talking again for a while.

"It is said that young master Zhu is born to suppress his wife, but this kid is really blessed. The wives who have married are all beautiful and beautiful, like a fairy. It's really unreasonable." Although his tone was disdainful, he also There was a sour envy.

Someone next to him heard the words, and said, "What's the use of looking at someone's parents? The Zhu family is rich and powerful, and they can not only pick people, but also pick families. Don't underestimate this new grandma, she is a dignified fifth-rank grandma." The eldest daughter of member Shen Zhijian, she is a veritable official lady."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a sound of exclamation immediately.

"Tsk tsk tsk, after all, it's a lady from an official family. She doesn't eat the fireworks of the world. Isn't she just waiting to lose money when she creates such a small shop? Another prodigal..."

"The Zhu family has plenty of money. We don't have to worry about losing as much as we want... But, what's in this shop? It's so mysterious. I'll have to ask my wife to go in and see. See what's tricky in there?"

There is indeed a hidden cave in Xianglou today.

The magnificence on the outside is just decent to attract attention, the exquisite design on the inside is the most painstaking and fascinating place.

When Shen Yuechen was renovating this gatehouse, she spared no expense to hire the best craftsmen in Dezhou City, and made every place, every door, and every window into the look she wanted.

At the critical moment, Shen Yuechen's painting skills were finally not in vain. According to the blueprints drawn by her, the master craftsmen spent two full months before they finished all the rest.Afterwards, Shen Yuechen sent people to select all kinds of furniture and decorations to make the entire Tianxiang Building magnificent, so that people will have a sense of high-end luxury as soon as they enter the door.
