Shen Zhu tapped on the table with one hand, "I want ten percent of your Hundred Fragrance House."

Zhou Muqing was stunned for a moment. "Lady Shen knows how many stores there are in the Hundred Fragrance House."

Such a big appetite!

Shen Zhu smiled lightly: "In our business, I promise that the little lobster's method can only be done in the restaurants that you, Zhou Muqing, open."

Zhou Muqing smiled. The temptation that Shen Zhu offered was very strong, if he bought all the lobsters and sold them, there would be a huge profit, which would not be a loss.

"Alright."

There was no difference in the opinions of the two. After modifying the cooperation, they signed the contract and each took a copy.

After the new contract was signed, Shen Zhu's identity rose a lot from the moment Hundred Fragrance House came out, and was a big step away from her predetermined plan for the next year.

After Shen Zhu left the Hundred Fragrance House, it was already late in the morning. He did not stroll around the town and went straight back to the Villa.

She had originally wanted to keep the Ah Qiu for a meal.

The Ah Qiu waved his hand and looked in his direction helplessly, "My Mother said that someone is coming tonight."

Shen Zhu understood, yes, Aunt Liu really wished that Ah Qiu could marry out.

She brought back the green ball she had prepared earlier and began to eat.

After the Ah Qiu had left, Zi Yi and Jingshu did not continue to play outside the courtyard either. They both squatted beside the cradle in the room and looked at Ruanruan, who was sleeping soundly.

Just as Shen Zhu carried the food to the table, Su Zongwen came back.

The two children caught a whiff of the fragrance of the dishes and hurriedly ran out of the house.

"Mother, is it time for dinner? "It smells so good!" Jingshu licked her lips, greedy for food.

Zi Yi swallowed his saliva as he stared at the table.

"Two greedy kittens, why aren't you washing your hands and eating?" Shen Zhu shook his head helplessly.

Su Zongwen played with the tableware, and said solemnly: "Today, I heard from the Uncle Chen that the main house of the capital is about to come to our Villa."

"They're coming to the Villa to celebrate the new year?" Shen Zhu asked suspiciously as he carried the last dish onto the table.

She felt that it was strange. It was the new year, why wouldn't they be staying in the capital? Why would they come to such a desolate place?

Su Zongwen could immediately see through Shen Zhu's suspicions, and explained: "With the conflicts in the imperial court, the situation in the capital is getting more and more complicated, and it is not a safe place. The Clear Water Town is far away from the capital, and it is the best place to avoid the imperial court."

"So that's how it is."

Shen Zhu nodded his head. This battle at the palace had always involved a fight to the death.

"En, I want to wait for me to take a break from school in a few days. Let's buy some New Year's goods and go back to the village. This year, the village is short of people, I'm afraid we won't be able to return."

Su Zongwen sat on the chair, his deep eyes dark.

Shen Zhu felt that the man was acting very strange today.

After finishing his meal and cleaning up, Shen Zhu returned to his room.

With a thought, she entered the Cloud Pavilion.

During this past month, Shen Zhu entered and left the Cloud Pavilion very frequently.

After leveling up, it was possible to refine pills — Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads, Detoxification Pills, Painkiller Pills, etc.

As for the ingredients needed to refine the pill, he would need to finish the Abel Incantation and plant the designated seeds to obtain them.

A few days ago, Shen Zhu used the gold coins he earned from cooking to buy a set of dishes, then he threw them into the open area outside the Cloud Pavilion.

When she went in, the vegetables had already been collected by Abu.

A Zhu said, "Congratulations, host! You have obtained the materials needed to concoct the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead. You can make two pills for 12 hours. The effect: Body Strengthening …"

Shen Zhu chose to accept them and carried a few bags of ingredients towards the Water Cloud Pill Furnace.

After she was done, she thought of the Cloud Pavilion.

Shen Zhu lied on the bed and picked up the drawing book under his pillow and casually flipped through it, smiling as he pursed his lips.

She felt that the surprises brought by this personal space were increasing in number!

A few days later, Su Zongwen Xiu Mu.

He rented an ox-cart from the manor and brought the family with him to the town in preparation to buy New Year's Eve groceries and return to the village.

Shen Zhu picked out a few pieces of cloth that were of good colour and prepared to bring them back to make a new set of clothes for everyone. He also bought a few fruits, cakes and other food that children liked to eat.

After walking around, their hands were filled with different sizes of items.

As the oxcart entered the village, it attracted the admiration of many.

Everyone muttered to themselves: The days of the Su Family are getting better and better.

The ox-cart stopped at the Su Family entrance, and when it came to a stop, Su Zongwen got off first, then turned and carried Zi Yi and Jingshu off the ox-cart.

Su Qingyi saw Su Zongwen's oxcart from afar and shouted excitedly, "Cousin."

Su Zongwen was helping Shen Zhu out of the car, and when he looked over to the source of the voice, he saw a group of people majestically walking over.

The tense expression on his face loosened a little. "Second Uncle, Second Aunt."

Shen Zhu hugged Su Zongwen's neck with both hands and looked over when Su Qingyi called out to him like that.

When they returned from the previous Hundred Day Feast, Su Qingyi was the only one to come over. This time, the whole family should have come …

She also called out, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt."

Before she came back, she had heard Su Zongwen mention that Su Qingyi's family spent every year with his family.

At this time, the one who was walking behind Su Qingyi should be his two elder brothers. Her elder brother, Su Yixuan, was one year older than him, while her second brother, Su Yian, was two years younger.

Su Yian walked closer and teased, "The relationship between sister-in-law and the sect's Brother Wen s is really good."

Su Zongwen coughed, a hint of happiness in his eyes, the hand that was placed on Shen Zhu's waist tightened.

Being reminded of this, Shen Zhu felt that it was really strange for her to be clinging onto Su Zongwen's body. She quickly jumped off the oxcart and carried Ruanruan who was sleeping in the simple cradle out, carefully protecting her head.

"Even if you have the ability, find one yourself."

When Su Yunyan heard Su Qingyi's voice, he ran out of the house immediately and gobbled Su Yian down.

Su Qingyi hurriedly took the sleeping Ruanruan from Su Yunyan's hands. "Sister-in-law, let me carry Ruanruan, let's quickly enter the house."

It had snowed yesterday, and it was cold.

Second Uncle and Second Aunt Su Family walked over. Seeing how loving Shen Zhu and his wife was, they were immediately gratified.

"Yue Niang, don't just ignore them. These two children are just like that, quarrelling right after meeting each other." Looking at his youngest son and Su Yunyan, he pointed at the two and laughed: "You two are too, you're already so old, and yet you're arguing in front of your children, don't you think it's shameful?"

"He's not as embarrassed as I am. I'm not afraid of embarrassment."

Su Yunyan ran to Second Aunt's side and held her hand intimately, not forgetting to make a face at Su Yian.

"This is called thick-skinned." Su Yian choked back.

"You!" Sure enough, Su Yunyan immediately brandished his fist to attack him.

Su Yunyan and Su Yian were around the same age, the two of them had always disliked each other, and had fought quite a few times since a young age.

Every time the two of them saw someone who was going to fight with them, they would always quarrel with them. If they lost, they would be beaten up. Even if they won, they wouldn't be able to escape a beating.

Yet, he was someone who would never forget a fight. The next time he met her, the next thing he should do was to argue.

Everyone laughed as they walked in.

Shen Zhu felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind, and subconsciously looked back.
