Seeing that the success aroused Shen Changze's interest, Cheng Jinchu said proudly: "Do you remember that I told you that my ancestor was a wine merchant and has a secret recipe passed down from his ancestors."
Shen Changze was shocked when he heard this, and then his face showed joy.
All men like to drink. This is indeed a good business, and you will definitely make huge profits without losing anything.
"Tomorrow we will go look for a suitable shop and take the children to see what it is like to go to Beijing." Cheng Jinchu couldn't wait.
After worrying for many days, she finally found a solution to this big problem, which made her very happy.
Didn't Jiang Shu want to embarrass her? She needed to let Jiang Shu take a good look at how she was able to control the Hou Mansion.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work these days." Shen Changze pulled her into his arms apologetically, lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Cheng Jinchu responded shyly and put his arms around his neck.
The two were making out when the maid's voice sounded outside the house.
"Master Marquis, the Madam has invited you."
"It's so late, what does mother want to do with you?" Cheng Jinchu asked, panting slightly, as the two separated.
Shen Changze arranged his clothes and stood up: "I don't know, I'll be back as soon as I go, you rest first."
The night wind blew all the way, and when they arrived at Tinglan Courtyard where Shen's mother lived, Shen Changze had returned to normal.
"Why did mother call me here?"
Shen's mother ate the bird's nest and said, "It's been a few days since you returned to Beijing. It's time to accompany Shu'er back to your parents' home. I think tomorrow will be good."
"Let's go in a few days. Tomorrow I..."
"You didn't accompany her back home six years ago. The matter of Li Ping's wife has made her resentful again. It's not reasonable or reasonable to delay it any longer. Is there anything more important than her now?"
"Yes, Lord Marquis, Madam is the first wife you are marrying. You should respect her and love her. Your neglect in the past few days has caused rumors in the house." Shen Changze's wet nurse, Aunt Su, was also speaking sincerely. admonishment.
She brought up Shen Changze and loved him as if she were her own son. She also saw Jiang Shu's contribution to the Hou Mansion in the past six years, and she really didn't deserve to be ignored.
Shen Changze was silent for a moment: "I understand. I will accompany her back to Jiang's house tomorrow."
"Go and inform Shu'er so that she can be prepared." Mother Shen waved her hands in relief, and Grandma Su also smiled with relief.
"Mother and grandma are worried about me." Shen Changze stood up and went to Tingzhulou with heavy steps.
Jiang Shu had just finished taking a bath and sat on the beauty's couch to let Chu Yu wipe her hair.
As soon as Shen Changze stepped into the house, the delicate fragrance with water vapor hit his nostrils.
"Master Hou." Chu Yu quickly saluted.
Jiang Shu was wearing apricot-colored pajamas, with a large piece of snow-skinned skin on her neck exposed, her slender waist looming, and a pair of clear water eyes looking at her.
Shen Changze suddenly felt his waist and abdomen tighten, his back felt hot, and he swallowed unbearably.
"Master Hou, is there something wrong?" Jiang Shu motioned to Chu Yu to continue wiping his hair.
Shen Changze glanced at Chu Yu, suppressed the heat in his chest, and said in a low voice: "I will accompany you back to Jiang's house tomorrow."
Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't hide his joy and said: "Seriously?"
"Yeah." Shen Changze nodded: "What do you need me to prepare?"
Jiang Shuzhan said: "No, I have already prepared it. Lord Marquis can just go with me."
It took another six years before he returned. This return to the Jiang family was of great significance, and Jiang Shu had already prepared the gifts. It's just that Shen Changze always leaves early and comes back late, so she has no chance to mention this to him.
It was rare for him to take the initiative to bring it up today.
"Then I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning." Seeing how happy she was, Shen Changze also curled his lips with a bit of joy.
"Okay." Jiang Shu agreed happily. When he finally saw that Shen Changze hadn't left, he frowned and asked, "Is there anything else, Lord Marquis?"
He was her husband, but she didn't want to keep him at all. Instead, she drove him away.
Shen Changze pursed his lips, feeling irritated and unhappy in his heart.
Looking at Jiang Shu's beautiful face and slim figure, Shen Changze wanted to stay the night, but he had to give up because he hadn't said hello to Cheng Jinchu.
"You should rest early." Shen Changze turned and left.
"Madam!" Chu Yu looked angry and anxious.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Shu was confused.
"The Marquis finally came here once, how can the Madam drive him away? If this continues, when will the Madam and the Marquis consummate their marriage?"
Jiang Shu's heart skipped a beat.
She was used to being alone, and because of Cheng Jinchu's resentment, she never thought of this.
Now when she heard Chu Yu talk about it, she lowered her eyes and started thinking seriously.
When she married into the Hou family, she wanted to live a good life as her husband and the head of the family. But when she thought that Shen Changze had children with others, raised them with others every day, and slept on the same bed every night, she felt very uncomfortable.
If she stays with Shen Changze, then who is she? A sleeping attendant?
She smiled wryly at herself, if she had known what it would be like to marry into the Marquis Mansion, she would never have reached such a high level.
"Madam, next time the Marquis comes, you can't do this again."
"Mrs. Jin's eldest son is already five years old. If madam doesn't act fast, in the future this prince's mansion will..."
In the future, this Hou Mansion will belong to Cheng Jinchu, mother and son.
It was natural for the eldest son to succeed to the throne, but it was too late for her to be born now.
When Shen Changze returned to Lanyun Courtyard, Cheng Jinchu was still awake.
"My husband is back." Cheng Jinchu smiled and welcomed him into the house, pretending to be casual and asked: "What does mother want from you?"
Shen Changze walked to the bed and sat down. Cheng Jinchu waited on him to undress and go to bed.
"Mother asked me to accompany Jiang Shu back to Jiang's house tomorrow."
Cheng Jinchu's hands stiffened when he untied his belt: "Does it have to be tomorrow?"
Shen Changze nodded: "Sorry, I will accompany you to visit Beijing the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Cheng Jinchu suppressed his annoyance and said with a smile, "Then tomorrow I will tidy up the Marquis Mansion and reduce expenditure."
"I feel sorry for you." Shen Changze held her hand, hugged her and fell to the bed.
After some lingering, Cheng Jinchu's dissatisfaction dissipated and he fell asleep contentedly on Shen Changze's arms.
Early the next morning, Tingzhulou was busy opening.
"Quickly, bring me that set of red emerald beaded gold walking rockers. It will match Madam's Luanfeng Lingyun bun."
"Madam, the Marquis is already waiting downstairs."
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Marquis, Madam will be ready soon."
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Yu was finally satisfied with his results and helped Jiang Shu, who was dressed up, to go downstairs.
Shen Changze stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, watching the people carrying gifts back and forth to the carriage, his eyes dark as he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Madam, please slow down." Tan Yu said crisply, holding the corner of her skirt.
Hearing the voice, Shen Changze raised his eyes and saw Jiang Shu, wearing an emerald smoke-like cloud skirt, walking slowly down the stairs. The beads in her hair shimmered in the morning light, making her look as graceful and beautiful as a fairy.
Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment when she met Shen Changze's gaze.
Today, Shen Changze also wore a blue robe embroidered with silver and bamboo, a gold crown on his head and a white jade belt around his waist. He stood in the courtyard with a handsome figure, making the maid Sasao look at him frequently.
What a coincidence that the two of them were wearing the same color clothes.
"Madam, be careful where you step." Chu Yu reminded in a low voice.
Shen Changze walked to the stairs in a few steps and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Shu.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Shu put the hand supported by Chu Yu into Shen Changze's broad hand.
