Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 235 Zhu Jintang's Cousin
Shen Yuechen's purpose is very clear, Tianxiang Building earns money from the rich, and it provides services and products exclusively for the wives and ladies of high-ranking officials, so that they can come and return with full enjoyment.

There are three floors in Tianxiang Building. The main body of the first floor is the reception hall, with tables, chairs, and flowers. At the left rear of the hall is the marble bath that Shen Yuechen spent the most time building. She named it "Beauty Soup" .

Beauty soup, as the name suggests, is a fragrant soup bath. There is constant temperature hot water in the pool. The water is mixed with floral dew and petals. .

Right in front of the bathing pool is a small pavilion with a qintai incense burner inside. A kabuki in fluttering white clothes is sitting in it, plucking the strings of the qin lightly and singing the lines from the Book of Songs in a low voice. The melodious sound of the piano and the sweetness of the singing complement each other, gently and softly echoing in the misty bathroom, making people feel as refreshed as if they were in a fairy mirror when they are in it.

After bathing, go straight to the second floor. There are many rooms of different sizes on the upper floor. In the rooms, maids in plain clothes and white clothes are waiting for guests to shave their faces, skin care, and massage with essential oils.After the guests feel comfortable physically and mentally, they go up to the third floor and redress. The rouge and gouache used by the guests are all the unique formula and fragrance of Tianxianglou.

Bathing, care, massage, make-up.As long as you enter the Tianxiang Building, you will be completely refreshed from head to toe.Distinguished treatment, pleasant enjoyment, and of course expensive prices.

For the sake of beauty, a woman can do whatever it takes, let alone a mere taels of money.What's more, a woman looks like someone who pleases herself, those men must be happy when they see their wives in pink, white and black, with a new look, and they are naturally willing to pour out their money.

The ladies and ladies who came in to visit looked at everything in front of them, all of them had expressions of shock and surprise on their faces. Five guests came in.

It is rare to have such good luck, to be able to enjoy such a luxurious place once, and naturally no one will refuse.

However, when they first started, they seemed a little shy. When they came to the edge of the bath, they didn't dare to wear bathrobes. They just rolled up their sleeves and gently stirred the fragrant pool water. Go into the bath with the courage... After washing up and dressing up, the guests looked at the lively and fragrant person in the mirror, and they all felt like they had changed, and they couldn't help feeling better.

It felt like a dream, and then everything changed.

When they walked out of the door, the people who were crowded to watch the excitement were really amazed. Why did the ones who went in just now look different from the ones that came out now? Could it be that there is some rare magic inside... The people in Xin'er saw them coming out happily, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of goods are sold in Tianxianglou today? How did you make people different?"

When the female guests heard the words, they all smiled and said nothing deliberately, but Ping Ping Tingting walked past the surprised eyes of everyone, her delicately made-up face was full of light pride.

The more hidden it is, the more curious it is.Sure enough, after only one day since its opening, Tianxiang Building became famous and became a hot topic of discussion among common people in Dezhou city after dinner.

As the grandma of the Zhu family, Shen Yuechen was already well-known, but she hadn't shown up for a long time. Everyone only knew her name, but she had never seen the real person. Tianxianglou attracts more attention than her identity.

The Zhu family is a merchant's house, and the news is the most well-informed, but whenever there is any big event or small situation in the city, news will be passed to their ears neatly.

That evening, when Zhu Feng returned home, he asked about Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen, with a stern face and a displeased expression, which made Li startled slightly, and hurriedly said: "They haven't come back yet? Master, you Is there a problem?"

Zhu Feng lifted up his robe, sat down, and said in a deep voice, "My daughter-in-law's shop is open today, do you know about it?"

Li Shi nodded, his face changed slightly: "Of course I know, the master suddenly asked her what she was doing here?"

After the previous incident, Zhu Feng and his wife, Li Shi, were deeply dissatisfied with Shen Yuechen, the daughter-in-law, so they deliberately avoided mentioning her to avoid being upset.

Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "That child's disturbance today is not small."

He was socializing with friends in business, but accidentally ran into a few acquaintances in a restaurant, and he heard a lot about Tianxianglou.

"What do you mean by master?" Li Shi didn't quite understand what he said, but he was very concerned.

Shen Yuechen's new store opened, except for Zhu Jintang who showed up in the past and Zhu Jinlun sent congratulatory gifts, the elders in the family were all indifferent.Li Shi didn't even know the name of her new store, so she was completely indifferent.

Zhu Feng said indifferently: "She opened a Tianxianglou for women's business, and now everyone outside is talking about it."

Li frowned and said, "It's really outrageous that such a big commotion has happened."

In her opinion, women are born to serve their husbands, carry on the family line, care for their husbands and teach their children, stay at home in a down-to-earth manner, and stay at home without leaving the house.It's a man's world outside, what's her name for a woman who goes out to fight?What can you do?

Li Shi was slandering in her heart, but she heard the servant girl lift up the curtain and come in, walked up to her and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, Nanny Sun is back, and she brought back a girl..."

Li Shi was startled when she heard the words, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she thought: It's really time for her to come back.

Zhu Feng was beside him, frowned slightly and said, "Isn't the matter of taking concubines already settled?"

Since the old lady has already spoken about this matter, it is a certainty and a deal.

Li Shi only said: "Everyone is here, so we can't just send her back without saying a word, she is my niece after all, if I don't entertain her, it won't hurt my face in my natal family."

Zhu Feng didn't know what she was thinking, but he didn't want to make it clear, so he said: "It's okay to stay for a few days, you can figure it out yourself. However, the old lady must explain clearly, so that there is no misunderstanding. "

Li Shi knew it well, nodded and said: "Master, don't worry, I know how to measure."

At this time, the appearance of Nanny Sun and Tong Chuchu had already caused quite a commotion in the concierge.

Those stewards and servants all stood at the door in a daze as if they had been hit by a sap, their eyes staring at Pingting's leaving figure in unison, obsessively thinking about it, and they couldn't catch their breath for a while... ...The girl's skin is as white as jade, her face is as smooth as fat, and her eyebrows are picturesque...especially those slender red phoenix eyes, which are soft and full of light, curved like a crescent moon, and the light and floating eyes seem to have soft hooks. But it is sultry, as if you can see the bottom of a person's heart at a glance.

Tong Chuchu walked only a few steps from getting off the car to entering the door, but it was impressive. The eyes of those people followed her figure all the time, unwilling to leave for a long time... However, for such a situation, Tong Chuchu has long been used to it.From childhood to adulthood, every time she went out with her mother, she had to face those strange, suspicious, envious, and even malicious eyes outside.The people outside are like this, and so are the people at home. They say behind their backs that she is a reincarnated fox fairy, a natural fairy... Li Shi waited for a while, and then heard a sound of rustling footsteps outside. Looking up, I saw Grandma Sun, whom I hadn't seen for several months, letting in a slim girl in a light-colored dress.

Li Shi knew that Tong Chuchu was a beauty, but at the first sight, she was still stunned on the spot, and her hand trembled unconsciously, causing the handkerchief to drop to the ground accidentally.

As the saying goes, people are as their name suggests, charming and charming.Li Shi never imagined that she would be such an amazing beauty. Now she is only fifteen or sixteen years old. If it takes another two years, what will she look like?

As a junior, the first reaction when seeing an elder is naturally to salute and say hello.

Tong Chuchu stepped forward slightly, kowtowed to the rich woman in front of her and said: "Chuchu pays respects to my aunt, and wishes my aunt good health and all the best." After she finished speaking, she raised her head slightly. Looking at Li Shi and smiling slightly, that small face like a jade carving made Li Shi's heart move again.

Immediately, with a smile all over her face, Li Shi stepped forward enthusiastically, held her hand and said, "You are Chuchu. Good boy, my aunt has been looking forward to you for a long time, and now I see you at last." She said while continuing Looking carefully at the person in front of her, she exclaimed: "Let my aunt take a good look at it, whoops, you've grown up so much in a short while, you've become a big girl."

Li Shi had never met Tong Chuchu before this, but as an elder, he still had to say something polite.

Tong Chuchu's mother is the concubine sister of the Li family, she is the ninth eldest in the family, her appearance is mediocre, she has no special qualities, so she is not taken seriously in the family.However, Li Shi and her mother, Li Jiuniang, were about the same age, lived in the same courtyard since they were young, ate and slept together, and kept each other company, so their relationship was quite deep.

Although Li Jiuniang was two years younger than the Li family, she married before her. Her husband was the eldest son of a big landowner. His surname was Tong and his name was Jian.Fortunately, his character is not bad, and he treats his wife Li Jiuniang very considerately.

After Li Jiuniang married into the Tong family, she gave birth to two sons in a row, which made her position in the Tong family more and more stable. Tong Chuchu was her only daughter, and her status in the family was not low. The face is suspected by the elders.

Li Jiuniang's appearance is mediocre, and she can barely be regarded as an average figure. Tong Jian also has the appearance of an ordinary person. Neither the husband nor wife has any special features, but they gave birth to such an outstanding daughter. It really can't help but make people think .

At the beginning, because of Tong Chuchu's appearance, Li Jiuniang was almost misunderstood by her in-laws. Fortunately, she was usually cautious in her words and deeds, and behaved well, so she was not talked about.Later, the Tong family found a Taoist priest who could read Fengshui and physiognomy for Tong Chuchu. The fairy apparition gave her a daughter with outstanding appearance... The Taoist priest's few nonsensical words made the Tong family feel at ease and stopped thinking about it.However, as the child grew up day by day, her face, her eyes, and her beauty made it impossible for everyone to just treat her as an ordinary child, which caused a lot of trouble.
