There was a custom to pay respects to buddhas in Clear Water Town, especially in the homes of the rich, old madams, or the matriarchs of the rich, who would occasionally visit the temple for a few days. Today, the guests at these tables were said to be the guests of a wealthy merchant's wife who came to the town to invite them, filling up a few tables.

Although it was Su Li, but since the other party was generous, Shen Zhu did not want to lose his dignity, so he prepared a few special dishes to entertain the guests.

Shen Zhu cooked all of the raw materials into a single pot using the most timely vegetables, mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms and other mushrooms, adding in the six ears, fungus, bean products, melon and other ingredients.

Other than that, Shen Zhu had also prepared radish balls, fried tridin, winter melon balls and fresh mushroom bean curd soup. Although they were all vegetarian, from the looks of their appearance and taste, they looked no worse than meat.

It just so happened that Zhou Muqing was also in the shop today. After finishing cooking, Shen Zhu walked out of the kitchen and called out to the shopkeeper to go upstairs to look for Zhou Muqing.

Shen Zhu had interacted with him for a long time, and gradually understood his habits. Every time he reached the Hundred Fragrance House, besides showing up when it was necessary, the other times would be when he would stay in the most corner room on the second floor.

I heard that this private room is not a place to receive guests, it was specially left for Zhou Muqing.

The door to the private room was not closed, but out of politeness, Shen Zhu still knocked on the door.

"Come in." As Zhou Muqing was looking at the book in his hand, he heard the sound of someone slowly turning towards the door, and was surprised to see who it was.

"Lady Shen?" Zhou Muqing put down the book in his hand and asked: "Why are you here? "Is there something you need?"

"I do have something troubling me. I want to discuss it with you." Shen Zhu nodded.

"If Lady Shen has anything to say, feel free to say it." Zhou Muqing nodded. With his understanding of Shen Zhu, how could she waste time here? Although he didn't need to take care of Yuzhu Pavilion's business, he still had a little kid who wasn't even one year old.

"Today, I went to Yuzhu Pavilion, and now that Yuzhu Pavilion is officially on the right track, I think it's time to find a shopkeeper for the store, does Boss Zhou have any suitable candidate?" Shen Zhu walked to the seat opposite of Zhou Muqing and sat down.

"Manager?" Zhou Muqing knocked on the table with his fingers, he thought for a while and then said, "I can see that Su Yixuan is not bad, among the few people here, he is the oldest, so he has a good job."

"Big brother's work is indeed safe, but this is also his first time doing business and he lacks experience. I wonder if Boss Zhou has a better candidate?" Shen Zhu thought for a moment, then said.

She naturally had the same thoughts as Zhou Muqing, and felt that Su Yixuan was a pretty good candidate, but that Yuzhu Pavilion wasn't just her alone, she also had her own share. If the shop was full of her own people, and the shopkeeper's own cousin was, in the end, still a little inappropriate.

"I'll think about the other candidates."

Shen Zhu said gratefully: "Since that's the case, then I will have to trouble Boss Zhou."

"It's nothing."

"I have nothing else to do, so I'll be going back first."

The two of them chatted for a while before Shen Zhu took his leave.

"Take care, Lady Shen." Zhou Muqing sent her out of the private room, then turned and sat back on the bed to flip through the books on the table.

Shen Zhu went downstairs, took the profits from Manager Song, and returned back to Yuzhu Pavilion to bring Ruanruan back to Villa.

Before she entered the manor, the Mama called out to her.

"Did Mama need to call me?" Shen Zhu looked at the gatekeeping Mama who had opened his mouth with some suspicion.

"Lady Shen, this is a letter that a man surnamed Shen sent you this afternoon."

The gatekeeping Mama immediately gave the envelope to Shen Zhu, and said politely.

"Thank you, Mama." Shen Zhu took the envelope, thanked him, and continued to walk in.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." The gatekeeping Mama smiled as he watched her enter the Manor.

Returning to the courtyard, Ah Qiu was playing at the entrance with Ruanruan and Jingshu. Seeing Shen Zhu coming back, Jingshu immediately rushed over and excitedly discussed with her about what game they had played today afternoon.

"Sister-in-law, you're back." Ah Qiu also hugged Ruanruan and walked up to welcome him.

"Ah Qiu, it's been hard on you, I think it's still early, help me meet Ruanruan again, I'll go to the kitchen to make some pastries, you guys can bring them back to eat."

Shen Zhu looked at the sky, and guessed that Su Yixuan and the others would need a while more.

"Ai, thank you, sister-in-law." Ah Qiu replied with a smile.

"Mother, I want to eat it too." Jingshu immediately followed behind Shen Zhu.

"Greedy Cat, you're a must." Shen Zhu tapped Jingshu's forehead, telling her to go play with Ah Qiu, he went into the kitchen.

Shen Zhu first made three servings of Green Bean Cake, then three servings of Lotus Root Aroma Cake, and finally Ah Qiu's favorite dessert. Then, he carried one serving out to each of them.

"Mother, what's this? It's delicious." Jingshu ate a piece of cake and immediately exclaimed in excitement.

This is called cold cake, if you like it then go eat it. But don't eat too much. Shen Zhu smiled and warned.

"Mother, I understand. We will eat two pieces each, and we will wait for father and brother to come back and eat together." Jingshu counted on his fingers as he ate a few pieces.

Not long after, Su Yixuan and the rest finished their work, the horse carriage stopped at the entrance of the villa and waited for the Ah Qiu.

Seeing that it was not early, Shen Zhu did not let them get off the car, so he quickly packed the pastries into two and gave them to Ah Qiu.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go back first." Ah Qiu returned the child to Shen Zhu, carried two servings of pastries, and happily bid her farewell.

"Be careful on the road. It's not too late yet, don't be too hasty." Shen Zhu warned her, and when she had left, she brought Ruanruan back to the house.

Ruanruan only slept for a short while in the afternoon, so he fell asleep in Shen Zhu's embrace not long after. Seeing that, Shen Zhu put her down in the cradle, and then took out the letter.

The letter was written by Shen Liyang.

Very quickly, Shen Zhu finished reading the contents of the letter. The main idea was that the entire family would move to the capital, and after thinking about the few siblings, Shen Zhu specially prepared a feast at home, inviting her to definitely return.

Shen Zhu thought about the fact that their relationship had improved a lot, it was not impossible for him to return, furthermore, the words in the letter were extremely hard to refuse.

Shen Zhu kept the letter, thinking to discuss the matter with once he returned home in the evening.

That night, at the dining table, Shen Zhu roughly told Su Zongwen about the contents of the letter he received during the day.

"Brother Wen, today, I received a letter from the Shen family. They want to move their entire family to the capital, and in two days they will organize a feast. They request for us to definitely return."

"Move the entire family?"

Su Zongwen was slightly surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it, Kong Linyuan had become a High Scholar and obtained an official position. With his help, the large family of the Shen Family could finally settle down in the capital.

"This is also a good thing." The man thought for a moment and spoke in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, let's go back and congratulate them."

Shen Zhu nodded, now, her relationship with the Shen family was not as tense as before, and Zhu Huiru and the rest had taken good care of Shen Chengjiu, so she could not reject them.

Two days later, it would be the time for the Shen family to set up a feast.

That day, Su Zongwen applied for a leave of absence and returned to the village with Shen Zhu and the three children.

When he heard the sound of the carriage, Madame Chen immediately came out of his room. Seeing the couple, his eyes were filled with smiles. "Zong Wen, Yue Niang, you've returned."

"Grandmother!" Zi Yi and Jingshu shouted in unison when they saw Madame Chen.

Madame Chen responded as he smiled and took Ruanruan from Shen Zhu's embrace, and said: "It's still early, let's enter the house to rest, it's not too late to head over to the Shen family later."

"Sigh, I'll listen to mother." Shen Zhu replied with a smile.

Today, when Su Yunyan went to Yuzhu Pavilion's place, the house was much more peaceful.

Zi Yi and Jingshu stayed in the room for a while longer before they both went out to play. Su Zhizhong and his father took out the Go Board to play when they had nothing to do, feeling extremely satisfied.

"Father, Mother, Yue Niang and I will be going to the Shen Family first. The few children will stay home, I'll have to trouble the two elders to take care of them."

Su Zongwen saw the sun rise outside and stand up from the brick bed.

"Go ahead, the children will be fine with me watching."

Madame Chen smiled and nodded, he then carried Ruanruan and stood up to send the couple out of the door.
