Chapter 1926 The Zhou Family Sends Wedding Invitations

Now, seeing Jiang Fengshou taking his newly recruited employees around having fun, I find it all the more absurd.

Sure enough, they were right. What would a young girl like Princess Lu know about business? She probably just opened a shop because the imperial court had just granted her one.

Look, they started decorating the shop as soon as they got it, and the shelves inside are all weird. To this day, we still don't know what they sell in this shop.

County Magistrate Lu is probably just rolling in money and is using this shop as a practice run.

No wonder they don't know any recruitment skills and hired a manager who only knows how to flatter and fawn. They're doomed sooner or later.

Everyone scoffed at this, and some of the rumors even reached Shu Yu's ears.

Shu Yu didn't take it seriously. She wasn't idle either. On one hand, she had Jiang Fengshou write a plan, and on the other hand, she was also thinking about it herself. She wasn't very familiar with Changjin Prefecture, so she was also wandering around, learning about the consumption habits of the local people and wealthy families, and even visiting shops with good business.

It was at this time that Zhou's father arrived. He went to the inn where Shu Yu had stayed before to look for her, but Shu Yu was no longer staying there.

After the old lady and the others left, Shu Yu rented a courtyard near Fuyuan Street. Actually, she could have lived in the backyard of the shop, but the shop was under renovation, and there was a lot of noise and dust. Not to mention herself, Shu Rui and the other two were out during the day and needed to read and write their reflections when they came back at night, so they needed a quieter environment.

She simply rented a courtyard to stay in temporarily, but before she left, she left an address for the innkeeper, so that if anyone was looking for her, they could go to Fuyuan Street to find her.

Therefore, when Zhou's father arrived, he found no one at the inn, and only after wandering around did he finally find the small courtyard where Shu Yu was staying.

Upon seeing him, Shu Yu was quite surprised. "Did something happen to Zhou Tiedong?"

"No, no," Zhou's father quickly said, a beaming smile on his face. He then took out a box, opened it, pulled out an invitation, and handed it to Shu Yu, saying, "This, this is a wedding invitation. Our Dongzi and Ayue are getting married in two days. We wanted to ask if the county princess is free."

In the countryside, people don't send wedding invitations; they just pass on a message and tell the couple to come when the time comes.

But isn't Shu Yu a county princess? In the Zhou family's eyes, she has a certain status and must know the proper etiquette. So they specially asked the only scholar in the village to help write this wedding invitation, and even put it in a box to bring it over, so that it wouldn't get damaged or wrinkled on the way.

Shu Yu was surprised, "You're getting married?"

Father Zhou chuckled憨憨地, “Yes, our Dongzi has been favored by the county princess and can come to the prefectural city to work as a shop assistant. Now that he's a shop assistant, he has to do his best, otherwise he'll let down the county princess’s good intentions. So we thought we should get Dongzi married first. We originally planned to get married this year, and everything that needs to be prepared is ready. Once he gets married, one of the biggest things on our minds will be settled, and we can all rest easy.”

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Then I'll congratulate him in advance, but I probably won't be able to go. There's so much to prepare for the shop's opening, and I've been very busy lately, so I really can't find the time."

"It's alright, it's alright. We know the county magistrate is busy. It's just that the county magistrate is now Dongzi's employer. He's getting married, so we should at least tell the county magistrate about this happy event."

The Zhou family knew that the chances of Shu Yu going were slim, and they didn't have high hopes. But regardless of whether she went or not, they still wanted to convey their feelings.
