Chapter 11 Demon King
When they first met Shangjing, Yan Yang and Yan Huan were dazzled by the prosperity of Shangjing.
"Dad, what a great thing that is." Yan Yang pointed at the monkey jumping through the fire ring in the circus, which was so novel.
Yan Huan was attracted by the stalls selling small toys, playing with them one by one and reluctant to let go.
Seeing them like this, Shen Changze felt guilty and distressed, and decided to take them out more often in the future to see the world.
"Okay, we have played for half a day, and it's time to find a shop. This is the real business." Cheng Jinchu was not used to wearing a veil hat, and always felt bored.
"Gugu..." Yan Yang covered his stomach and pouted: "Mom, I'm hungry."
Because they were too excited to go out in the morning, the two children didn't eat much at all. After playing for half a day, their stomachs were already empty.
"The Cuiyun Building is in front of us. Let's go. Dad will take you to eat delicious food." Shen Changze held one child in each hand, making the two children laugh.
Looking at the tall and majestic figure of the man and the happy and carefree smiles of the children, Cheng Jinchu was extremely satisfied.
This is her husband and the father of her children. No one can take him away from them.
No one can.
In the private room of Cuiyun Building, Shen Changze and his family of four were having dinner, and suddenly heard the sound of talking coming from the private room next door.
"If we talk about the latest news, it's that Marquis Jing'an asked for an imperial decree to establish a concubine. Wow, he is simply a role model for our generation. I admire him so much.
"When did a scumbag become a role model? If you sisters encountered this, would you still think it was beautiful?"
"Your Highness is right. What Marquis Jing'an did was really unkind. He could have taken a concubine if he wanted, but he had to go through the whole thing of having a concubine to insult people."
"I heard that Marquis Jing'an married the daughter of the Jiang family just for money."
"I know about this. There is a servant in my house who has a cousin who lives in Marquis Jing'an's mansion. He said that the mansion has been supported by the dowry of the marquis' wife all these years."
"Bah! You are a piece of shit for eating free food and still bullying others..."
"Pah! "Cheng Jinchu put down his chopsticks and stood up, wanting to find someone to argue.
Shen Changze quickly stopped her: "Stop talking about rumors, don't pay attention to them."
"No, I can't tolerate anyone insulting you like this." Cheng Jinchu was determined to go.
Shen Changze sighed helplessly: "Do you know who scolded me?"
"Who?" Cheng Jinchu wondered.
With his status as Marquis of Jing'an, is he still afraid of him?
"Yu Yuan, the prince of Rong Wangfu, is the devil in the capital. If you provoke him, you will get into trouble. Even the prince has to avoid him. "Shen Changze's eyes were filled with fear, and he had obviously suffered a loss.
Cheng Jinchu was stunned, as she had not expected the other party to be so powerful.
"So that's it?" She gritted her teeth unwillingly.
Shen Changze pursed his lips: "Just pretend you didn't hear it. If there is a commotion, we will be embarrassed as well."
The devil of the world is not called that for nothing. Seven years ago, he accidentally knocked down a lady, and Yu Yuan saw it and made up a story about him, making him a playboy, causing the ladies in Beijing to avoid him.
It was also because of this that his mother had been seeking marriage for him everywhere and had been rejected, and finally could only marry Jiang Shu.
They had a terrible meal, and they were not very successful in finding a shop in the afternoon. When they returned home in the evening, both of them looked unhappy.
The next day, they left the child at home, After three days of searching for a shop, they finally found a suitable one. After
paying the money and getting the deed, Cheng Jinchu smiled happily: "This will be our winery in the future. What should we call it?"
Shen Changze looked at the shop with a spacious backyard, feeling a little worried.
The Marquis' Mansion was already in financial difficulties, and buying this shop was a huge investment. If the business doesn't work out...
no, the winery business must work out, and he has no way out.
"Husband, what do you think the name should be?" Cheng Jinchu was immersed in joy and didn't notice Shen Changze's abnormality.
"Go back and think about it slowly. "
The most important thing right now is to brew the wine quickly, and there is no rush to make a name for it.
When the two returned home, it was already late. Cheng Jinchu saw that the two children were not in Suoyun Courtyard, so he called the maid to inquire.
"The lady took the young master and the young lady to Shouyong Hall."
So the two went to Shouyong Hall to pick up the children.
The old lady really loved her two great-grandchildren, and she could hear laughter from inside the house even when she was outside.
"Grandmother, mother." Shen Changze greeted Cheng Jinchu.
Mother Shen waved to them: "Come and talk to your grandmother. "
The two of them went over and sat down, chatting about random things.
"Have you found a suitable shop?" Shen's mother's eyes fell on Cheng Jinchu, a little unhappy.
It was really inappropriate for a woman to go out of the house and show up in public every day. Things outside the house should be handled by the grandfathers.
"The money has been paid and the signature has been signed. We will start brewing wine tomorrow." Cheng Jinchu replied complacently.
"How much silver did you spend?" Shen's mother asked.
The money in the house is tight, so they have to spend it frugally.
"Seven thousand taels."
"With so much money, what if the winery can't be run, wouldn't the silver be wasted? "Mother Shen was anxious.
The old lady was also very dissatisfied with this.
Not only had her meals been worse than before in the past few days, but the expensive herbs in the soup were also replaced with ordinary ones, which made her extremely unhappy.
Like Mother Shen, she did not approve of Cheng Jinchu being the manager of the family.
"Don't worry, mother. This shop was bought with the dowry my father left for me. Whether it succeeds or fails, it will not affect the Marquis' Mansion."
Cheng Jinchu was a little unhappy with the attitudes of Mother Shen and the old lady, but he still suppressed his temper and explained to them.
"It's all the same. You have to be careful. The Marquis' Mansion is counting on you. "
Having gotten used to spending money on Jiang Shu's dowry these years, Shen's mother naturally thought that Cheng Jinchu's dowry was also from the Marquis' Mansion.
Shen Changze blushed when he heard such shameless words, and took over the conversation and said, "We know what to do, mother, don't worry."
Shen's mother wanted to say something else, but Shen Changze made the excuse that he was tired and took Yan Yang and Yan Huan away.
"The son has grown up and is no longer under the control of the mother. She can't control him anymore." The old lady sighed, her pale eyes full of sadness and powerlessness.
Mother Shen's lips moved, but she couldn't say anything.
As the old lady said, they were no longer in charge of the Marquis' Mansion. They were now two idle people with no say.
Even if her bird's nest before going to bed every night was cancelled, she didn't dare to complain. Her
husband died early, her mother's family was not prosperous, and if she was separated from her son, she would be really helpless.
Forget it, she won't care about anything in the future, just let them be.
At dinner time, Tan Yu opened the food box and saw the food inside, her face was very ugly.
"It's the same again, not a single dish is good."
Chu Yu brought out the dishes one by one, and Jiang Shu looked at them and joked, "Scallion-fried shad, fish balls and tofu soup... ordinary people can't even afford them."
Since Cheng Jinchu cut down on the expenses of the mansion, the meals sent by the kitchen have been much worse, from the usual eight dishes to four, and the snacks of dried fruits and preserved fruits have also been reduced by half.
Jiang Shu's wife is like this, not to mention the servants, who only eat a little fishy food every two or three days.
"No wonder the lady can eat it, I can't bear to watch it." Tan Yu's face was puffed up with anger.
