The scroll in Dong Shuyu's hand shook, and her heart skipped a beat.
Why did you just pick up the scroll so confusedly?
"Yu'er, this huge... square of a wise son-in-law has never existed before. You should plan hard. I believe you can do it!" Dong Cheng said with some encouragement.
"Sister, I'm optimistic about you, don't worry, I will also come to help you!" Dong Shuzhen cheered.
"I..." Dong Shuyu hesitated for a while, looked at the scroll in his hand, and then looked at Zhu Xiuyuan vaguely.
But she didn't know that Zhu Xiuyuan had been staring at her. Seeing her looking at him, he couldn't help but smile encouragingly.
"Then...okay!" Dong Shuyu finally accepted this "arduous task", "Daddy, don't worry, Mr. Hou, I will go all out to build this square as soon as possible!"
Dong Shuyu felt inexplicably relieved.
This is an unknown challenge. The whole plan is too huge. Compared with the previous business of tea houses and restaurants, this is indeed a big deal and a new way of playing!
Faintly, Dong Shuyu's hands felt a little itchy...
"Then there's Lao Shuyu!" Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.
Dong Shuyu stared at him, and her heart skipped a beat. Her intuition told her that she had gradually fallen into Zhu Xiuyuan's "strategic plan"...
But this intuition is not very obvious, she just feels it.
"Shuyu, give it a name quickly." Zhu Xiuyuan smiled again.
Dong Shuyu held the scroll in his hand, thought for a while, and said: "Since this square originates from Wuyi Lane, why not call it 'Wuyi Square'?"
Wu Yi Square!
Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan both thought it was good, and even praised Dong Shuyu's clever mind.
Dong Shuyu was slightly excited after receiving the praise, but did not show it externally.
"Shuyu, this Wuyi Square is indeed too complicated. I briefly talked about it today, but it is not comprehensive. Tomorrow, I will take you to see the area in person..."
Zhu Xiuyuan smiled, showing his fox tail.
Dong Shuyu, who was feeling slightly excited, was stunned for a moment.
She understood, finally understood, her intuition just now was very clear.
As expected, she was "guided" step by step by Zhu Xiuyuan...
But now it's too late to regret.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree: "Okay, let's... go tomorrow!"
"I want to go too, I want to go too!" Dong Shuzhen suddenly shouted.
"Okay, you go too!" Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and touched her head.
It was already getting late, so everyone went back to their respective courtyards to prepare for rest.
Early the next morning.
After breakfast, Zhu Xiuyuan set off with his two sisters and took a carriage to the Qinhuai River.
The Qinhuai River bank in the early morning is the time when the flow of people is the least dense.
The all-night brothel had just finished its hustle and bustle, and the door was ajar. Occasionally, a disheveled man ran out, looked around, hugged his clothes and disappeared into a nearby alley.
Chaoku Street is built along the Qinhuai River. Many willow trees are planted on the bank. When the cool breeze blows in the morning, the willow branches sway left and right, which is really beautiful.
The carriage of Zhu Xiuyuan and his entourage stopped when it reached Wende Bridge, and everyone got out of the carriage one after another to enjoy the scenery while walking.
“It’s so quiet!”
Dong Shuyu glanced around and sighed softly.
Dong Shuyu looked very dull today. She was dressed in a simple and elegant long dress. Her face was thin and fair, and her three thousand hair was neatly combed, shiny and smooth, and fluttered in the breeze.
"It is indeed very quiet, which is rare on the Qinhuai River. We are at the right place!"
Zhu Xiuyuan followed Dong Shuyu slowly, glancing at her from time to time.
Somehow, after what happened that day, Zhu Xiuyuan felt a sense of intimacy every time he saw her. Her voice and every move she made seemed to be full of charm.
...I really want to hold it and take a bite!
“There’s food there!”
Dong Shuzhen, who was walking in front, saw at first sight a small vendor on the street not far ahead, selling a kind of scones, which were freshly baked and had a very burnt aroma.
Dong Shuzhen rushed over directly.
Xia Wu and Qiu Wen immediately followed behind, shouting "Miss, Miss".
Their playfulness broke the rare silence, but it was also full of vitality and joy.
Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu behind them smiled and shook their heads, but did not stop them.
As if out of habit, the two of them looked at each other after shaking their heads.
For a short moment, the two of them looked away at the same time... The matter between them had not been revealed yet, and they were both a little embarrassed.
"Husband and sister, do you want to eat?"
In front of the stall, Dong Shuzhen turned around.
"No!"
Dong Shuzhen nodded, so she bought four copies, one for her, one for Xia Wu, and two for Qiu Wen.
In the end, it was Qiu Wen who paid the bill.
In this way, they walked all the way, admiring the scenery, starting from Wuyi Lane and walking along Chaoku Street for more than a hundred feet to the northeast.
"Along the way, there are many shops in this area of about one hundred feet. It may not be easy for us to buy them all!"
They were already walking back, and Dong Shuyu was a little worried.
"Shu Yu, don't worry. I will help handle this matter. I believe that with my reputation, the shopkeepers will be willing to do it." Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.
Dong Shuyu kept walking, glanced at him sideways, and said lightly: "Is it forced?"
After she finished speaking, she regretted it. She didn't know why she said such words with a twitch in her head.
Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "Shuyu, are you...still angry with me?"
Dong Shuyu felt anxious and turned to look at Zhu Xiuyuan. As expected, he saw his sister Zhen'er looking at them with a puzzled look on her face, her big eyes darting around.
"What did the Marquis say?" Dong Shuyu could only pretend to be stunned.
"Nothing, nothing! I'm just saying that if you have any difficulties regarding Wuyi Square, you can come to me and I will be responsible for helping you solve it!" Zhu Xiuyuan said hurriedly.
Dong Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief and responded casually.
Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance of Wuyi Alley, entered the alley, and went directly to Dong Yulou.
After walking for half a day, Dong Shuyu was a little tired, and they were going to rest for a while at Dong Yulou.
"It's so noisy here, sister, let's go to your small courtyard, it's quieter there!"
Dong Shuzhen sniffed, the air was full of the aroma of breakfast, but just now on the street, Dong Shuzhen had already eaten a lot and could not eat anymore.
Now smelling those fragrances again, Dong Shuzhen feels like she is being tortured!
Dong Yulou is one of the largest restaurants in the capital. It has a place to eat and guest rooms, and the rooms in the entire restaurant are almost full every night.
When guests wake up in the morning, they naturally want to have breakfast. This time period happens to be breakfast time, and the smell of food is everywhere in the air.
After Zhu Xiuyuan heard this, his eyes lit up in the dark and he remained calm.
"This..." Dong Shuyu hesitated, his face turned red, and he glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan vaguely.
"Sister, are you okay..." Dong Shuzhen used her coquettish technique.
"Okay!" Dong Shuyu couldn't bear it in the end, agreed, and took everyone to her relatively quiet little courtyard.
Dong Shuyu walked in front, walking a little faster, and the two maids Chun Xue and Dong Mei followed closely behind, looking back at Zhu Xiuyuan from time to time.
Zhu Xiuyuan followed the two maids. Looking at Dong Shuyu's slightly panicked footsteps, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Dong Shuzhen and Qiu Wen, Xia Wu, were among the three who fell at the back. They were holding their bellies with their hands and could not walk very fast.
Squeak!
The door to the room where Dong Shuyu handled daily affairs was gently pushed open. Dong Shuyu hesitated for a moment and stepped inside.
Then Chun Xue Dongmei, Zhu Xiuyuan, and Dong Shuzhen, the three masters and servants, filed in.
After Zhu Xiuyuan stepped in, he started to look around.
Seeing that Dong Shuyu was very reserved and pitiful, Zhu Xiuyuan's idea of "teasing Dong Shuyu" became stronger at this moment.
"This house is so neat!" Zhu Xiuyuan finally said this.
Dong Shuyu had already walked to the chair and was about to sit down first. After hearing these words, she felt as if she had been struck by thunder, her delicate body shook, and she almost lost her balance.
Finally, I used the backrest of the chair for support and sat down.
