When Shen Zhu reached the private room on the second floor, he was already drinking tea and waiting for her.

"I heard that the Lady Shen has something to discuss with me?" Zhou Muqing heard the commotion and raised his head to look from within the tea.

"Yes, indeed."

Shen Zhu nodded and entered the house, sitting beside Zhou Muqing.

"How rare, I wonder what business does Lady Shen have?"

Zhou Muqing raised his hand and brewed a cup of tea for Shen Zhu, a slight smile on his face.

"It's like this, I want to buy a shop in town …"

Shen Zhu revealed the purpose of this trip.

Zhou Muqing placed the brewed tea on the table in front of Shen Zhu, and upon hearing that, he half-jokingly said, "Lady Shen wants to buy a shop? Are you trying to start a restaurant and steal my business? "

He had thought about it before, if Shen Zhu wanted to go out and cook alone, with his good culinary skills, he would definitely open a restaurant.

Shen Zhu took a sip of his tea unhurriedly and laughed: "Boss Zhou's Hundred Fragrance House is a well-known restaurant, when I open this unknown little shop, if there are any customers or not, why would I fight over it with you?"

"What's more, I didn't buy this shop to open a restaurant." Shen Zhu paused for a while, then continued, "Of course, if Boss Zhou wants to buy shares, I would welcome him."

"Cough, cough …" When Zhou Muqing heard that the restaurant was not open for business, he was stunned, and when he heard the latter sentence, he could not help but choke.

He raised his eyes to look at Shen Zhu, and saw her calm expression, with a smile at the corner of her lips.

"What does Boss Zhou think?" Shen Zhu calmly drank the tea in his cup and asked unhurriedly.

Zhou Muqing thought for a moment, he knew about Shen Zhu's cooking skills, whatever she made was always unique, there were many new ideas in her mind, no matter what kind of shop she opened, the business would definitely be booming.

"Alright, I'll take the shares." Zhou Muqing thought for a moment, and agreed to buy shares in Shen Zhu's shop. The two discussed for a while, and in the end, Zhou Muqing expressed that he would pay for the decorations of the shop, and he would also help find suppliers for the ingredients. The profit for the shop was twenty to eighty percent, and Shen Zhu was the main house, making up the majority of the profits.

"Then I'll have to trouble Boss Zhou." Shen Zhu was not surprised at all by Zhou Muqing's nod.

She could only open a small shop to sell some pastries, while the biggest bakery in the Clear Water Town was the Moon Treasure Pavilion. This time, not only was the Moon Treasure Pavilion an old bakery, I heard that there were also some big shots supporting her, which was why she was able to stand tall in the Clear Water Town after so many years, and was getting more and more famous.

If Shen Zhu's shop stole their business, it would inevitably cause people to become anxious and come for revenge.

For Zhou Muqing to be able to hold up such a huge restaurant with his Hundred Fragrance House, the power behind him must not be underestimated.

"It's fine, it's not a big deal. Tomorrow, I'll go visit that place." Zhou Muqing said straightforwardly. He also had his share of the shop, so he naturally had to be more hardworking.

After receiving the answer, Shen Zhu went downstairs with satisfaction, took some silver from the Manager Song, and headed straight back to the manor.

Beijing.

When Madame Ye heard that Ming Yuning had a fever for the past few days, he immediately went to his courtyard to see him.

Although Madame Ye didn't really like this grandson, he was still her grandson after all.

When Madame Ye went to Ming Yuning's courtyard, a servant girl was attending to him drinking medicine.

"Greetings to Grandmother …" Ming Yuning made a gesture to get up and pay his respects.

"Quickly lie down. You're sick, what peace do you need?" Madame Ye went forward and reclined on the bed, leaning on the headboard.

His eyes were filled with genuine heartache.

"Cough, cough …" Seeing the pity in her eyes, Ming Yuning immediately coughed.

"How did he get so sick just like that?"

Madame Ye felt that he lacked love and care for this grandson of his because of Meier.

Although Meier wasn't a good mother, this had nothing to do with the child.

"Grandmother, it's fine. It must be that the snow has turned outside in the past few days. The weather is a bit cold, so I accidentally caught a cold." Ming Yuning looked to be well-behaved.

Have you caught a cold? Then why is it that even after burning it for a few days, it still hasn't recovered? How can this continue? " "By the way, this is the best medicine in the hospital, Zhang Yuan. Grandmother will tell your grandfather to invite Zhang Yuan personally to have a look.

"This... "There's no need for that. It's a small chill anyway, so there's no need to trouble the Zhang Courtyard." Ming Yuning's expression changed as he quickly replied.

If the Madame Ye really invited him over, Ming Yuning would immediately inform them. This time, he feigned illness and understood that Mu Yu had spent a huge amount of effort to bribe an imperial physician in the imperial hospital. He definitely could not let this matter go like this.

"What's the matter? Please don't bother me. Your grandfather has some friendship with Zhang Yuan, so it wouldn't be difficult to get him to come and take a look at your illness." Madame Ye disapproved.

"Grandmother … "Grandson's illness isn't serious, it'll be fine in a few days." As Ming Yuning spoke, he once again let out a low cough, and then said pitifully: "It's just that mother isn't by my side, this grandson really misses mother, perhaps because I miss you so much that I can't recover from my illness for a long time …"

Hearing that, Madame Ye's eyes flashed, and automatically forgot about what he had said about Meier, "Since it's only going to recover in a few days, then I'll take care of it first. If it's still not good at that time, it's not too late to ask your grandfather to go and invite Zhang Yuan Zheng over."

Madame Ye got up after speaking, "It's getting late, Grandmother will be going back first, you can rest in peace."

"Grandson greets Grandmother."

Ming Yuning lowered his head and said unwillingly.

With a plan in his mind, Madame Ye didn't want to stay here any longer and prepared to return to his own garden.

Just as she walked out of Ming Yuning's courtyard, she saw a servant girl anxiously rushing over to inform her that someone from the palace had passed down an order, the Madame Ye had rushed over to the main hall.

In the main hall, a few eunuchs were waiting at the side. When they saw Madame Ye, they hurriedly greeted him.

"My family pays respects to Noble Consort Wangfei." The leader of the eunuchs said.

"Eunuch is being too polite. Eunuch, you've come all the way from the palace. Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?" The Madame Ye asked for tea to be served.

The leader of the eunuchs hurriedly refused. "Our family came on the orders of the emperor and is rushing back to the palace after reading the imperial edict. There's no need for this tea."

Seeing this, the Madame Ye did not say anything.

Before long, other than Ming Yuning who was still sick and Ming Chengyan who was not in the palace, everyone else had all arrived and knelt in the main hall to listen to his orders.

Following the will of the heavens, the emperor decreed that the second son of the Saint King, Ming Jinmo, was respectful and courteous. He was talented in literature and was a disciple of an influential family, and was bestowed the title of a Noble Heir of the Prince's Mansion. When the leader of the officials saw that everyone was present, he hurriedly spread out the imperial edict and read it aloud.

"This subject accepts the decree and thanks the emperor. Long live and long live the emperor …" Ming Jinmo lowered his head, respectfully extending his hands out to receive the imperial edict.

The eunuch passed the imperial edict to Ming Jinmo, and then immediately broke into a smile and congratulated Madame Ye.
