Zhou Jie reacted quickly. The Zhou family was originally in business and had a wide range of interests, which were usually managed by Zhou Yuan. However, Zhou Jie was not a naive young lady who knew nothing.
"I still need to test this part!"
There are many ways to help a lady become more beautiful, but three main things are targeted: complexion, figure, and clothing. Han Luoxue already had a plan in mind.
She needs to think carefully and come up with a plan. If this shop opens, business will definitely be booming.
"Xue'er, you're not feeling well, is there anything I can do for you?"
Du Linlang was eager to try. She knew how good Han Ruoxue's creations were, and she wanted to try it herself.
Besides, we can't just let a normal person like her wait around while Han Ruoxue, a pregnant woman, does the experiment, can we?
“Yes, Xue’er, let’s do whatever we need to do together!” Zhou Jie also wanted to participate.
Seeing the two of them looking interested, Han Ruoxue smiled and said, "That's fine, but please help me find a place to stay first!"
"Oh, Xue'er, why don't you stay at my house?"
Looking at Han Ruoxue's belly, even though her clothes were a bit loose, you could still see it if you looked closely.
"That won't do. Find me a quieter courtyard instead."
She has secretly come to the capital, not wanting to be noticed by the Crown Prince's men.
And then there's Mengyao, that woman is crazy. I'm not feeling well right now, so I can't confront her head-on.
Zhou Jie seemed to realize something, and her gaze towards Han Ruoxue became somewhat guilty. However, with outsiders present, she couldn't say much.
The Zhou family owns many properties, and there are several that meet Han Luoxue's requirements. After the three of them looked around for a while, Han Luoxue chose one.
It's not far from the General's Mansion; it only takes about half an hour by carriage.
It's a simple single-entrance courtyard; she lives alone, so a larger one wouldn't be useful.
"I'll arrange for a servant for you later."
Although Han Luoxue cannot live in the General's Mansion, given her status, the selection of servants must be more careful.
Han Luoxue didn't object. The courtyard still needed tidying up, so the three of them went to a teahouse to discuss what to do next.
"I need to test the products for a few days, and I'll get them ready as soon as possible. As for the shop's decoration..."
Han Luoxue thought about modern interior design and had an idea.
"Let me draw up a rough blueprint now. This way, the decoration and product research can be done together without wasting time."
That house is big enough; Han Luoxue is confident she can make it the most famous place in the capital.
"Oh, right, we also made some meat products. You can see how to sell them later."
Han Luoxue doesn't plan to send these meat products to the palace. She can't send all the good stuff to the palace, can she?
Is it delicious?
Zhou Jie knew how formidable Han Luoxue was; nothing Han Luoxue made was ever bad.
"You, sigh..."
Han Luoxue sighed. What a little foodie!
"Let's open a few more restaurants when it's allowed to open in Beijing in a while."
If Zhou Jie, a little foodie, were to manage the restaurant, she would definitely do her best.
"That would be great. By the way, Linlang, why don't you come along too?"
Although the two women hadn't known each other for long, Zhou Jie still liked Du Linlang very much and was willing to take her along when needed.
"Me? I guess I'll pass on that."
Du Linlin quickly waved her hand. She knew Zhou Jie meant well, but she was already happy to be involved in one shop and didn't want to take advantage of either of them.
"Linlang, don't be shy, come on over."
Although she hadn't spent much time with Du Linlang, Han Luoxue had a keen eye; the person she set her sights on was definitely not simple.
In addition, Zhou Jie also liked Du Linlang's personality, so she was willing to be with her.
"I...this..."
Du Linlang didn't know what to say.
"Sister Linlang, please come along."
Han Luoxue smiled and teased, "The two of us are fine playing around, but when it comes to running a business, neither of us is good at it. Did we call you over to do the hard labor for us?"
"I...then I'll take less."
Du Linlang had no choice but to agree. She knew that Han Luoxue was deliberately promoting her. In fact, she would be happy to get in touch with the Zhou family, even if it didn't make money, just by doing hard work for them.
I believe her mother felt the same way.
"Alright, let's use tea instead of wine then."
Zhou Jie picked up her teacup with a hearty laugh and drank the tea as if it were liquor.
Han Luoxue also smiled and took a sip. She was pregnant and couldn't drink alcohol.
Except for the fruit wine in her space.
The Zhou family worked quickly and finished cleaning up the yard by the afternoon, so Han Luoxue moved in.
There were six maids and four servants in the courtyard.
Han Luoxue was used to doing things herself and didn't have them serve her personally.
However, the two girls still followed closely behind her.
The two were quick and efficient, clearly hand-picked. There was also a study in the courtyard, complete with writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. Han Luoxue took out some wine, thought for a moment, and began to prepare skincare products.
Although the economy is not good now, there are many wealthy people in the capital. Skincare products are traded in silver, so business is not much worse.
"Madam, it's getting windy."
Han Luoxue was busy when she suddenly heard the little girl's shout.
Han Luoxue hurriedly got up and went to the door. Sure enough, the sky, which had always been sparkling with stars, was now covered with dark clouds. The wind in the air was also cool, even a bit cold. She shivered, and a maid quickly brought her a coat to put on.
Is it going to rain?
Han Luoxue sighed, and the girl's eyes also welled up with tears.
It's raining! After more than a year, is it finally going to rain?
Just then, a cracking sound was heard, and a bolt of lightning struck.
The wind grew colder, and several large raindrops fell, hitting people painfully.
But none of them felt any pain; in fact, they all burst into laughter.
"Haha, it's raining! It's finally raining!"
"Heaven hasn't forsaken us; God has still given us food to eat..."
"Great, it's finally raining."
Although it was already evening, the streets were already crowded.
Everyone jumped and shouted wildly, and many people couldn't help but shed tears.
Waaaaah, it's raining! It's really raining!
Who can know how everyone is feeling right now?
Hutouya Village.
The atmosphere was electric. Han Mingyuan stood in the courtyard, looking up at the gloomy sky. Large raindrops pelted his face, and he chuckled.
"I knew Xue'er was right, it really did rain."
"Xue'er, if it weren't for her, we would probably be..."
Thinking back to not long ago, he was still bedridden, and Yunniang was almost at her breaking point. Mengze was back then...
If it weren't for Han Luoxue, their family would have really fallen apart.
"Father, are you talking badly about my sister again?"
