There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 155 Rebellious Auspiciousness

Gu Ziying chose to believe Li Shuchen after hearing this.

The girls had changed their clothes, and Gu Ziying led them to set up the banquet.

Li Shuchen then picked some fresh fruits and vegetables and went to the kitchen to think about making drinks.

What should we do with these soft peaches, firm peaches, dates, apples, and persimmons?

As the weather gets cooler, it's mostly girls who enjoy desserts, so cold drinks aren't really suitable.

But if you're making a hot drink, what should you make?

Li Shuchen paced back and forth, thinking as he walked: hot drinks, hot drinks, piping hot, mmm~, milk tea!

Tsk tsk tsk, milk tea is so good! It's made by stir-frying high-quality tea leaves until fragrant, then mixing them with milk, adding freshly squeezed fruit juice and fruit pieces, and topped with some brown sugar glutinous rice balls.

Isn't this a perfect little gadget for warming the uterus?

Women in this dynasty tend to give birth early, which takes a heavy toll on their health. She herself cannot change this situation, so making some desserts that are good for women's health is not a bad idea.

If we want all the girls to be able to drink milk tea, the price can't be set too high; we should just aim for low profit margins and high volume.

Having made up his mind, and seeing that no one was around, Li Shuchen happily opened the store to look for tea.

Since this is mainly targeted at women, let's try some good teas with different functions.

But there's just too much tea in this mall; her eyes are getting sore from looking at it.

I simply closed my eyes and said...

"Little Jizi, find me some beauty tea with anti-aging and antioxidant properties, a warming tea to regulate menstruation and relieve pain, a fatigue-relieving tea to soothe nerves, a stomach-nourishing tea to aid digestion, relieve bloating, soothe the stomach, and quench thirst, and a qi-regulating tea to soothe the liver, regulate qi, and promote blood circulation."

a moment later

[Host, suitable tea has been found for you]

Li Shuchen opened one eye and glanced at the price. Good heavens, the tea was priced at two taels of gold per tael, five taels of gold per tael, eight taels of gold per tael, and the most expensive was ten taels of gold per tael. How much did this little Jizi want to make money off her? Didn't she even consider whether she could afford it?

So he closed his eyes again and said softly.

"I need these teas for the sake of the inn's business. If the inn does well, you'll make a good profit. Just exchange them for some affordable, high-quality teas."

After a long while, Li Shuchen finally heard Xiao Jizi's voice.

[Host, we have found suitable tea for you]

Oh dear, when asked to change the tea leaves, he even changed his polite form of address from "you" to "you"—how unwilling he is!

Li Shuchen ignored him and opened her eyes to examine the tea leaves.

Not bad, not bad. She could afford the price, and the effects were good too. She bought one pound of each type of tea, spending a total of five taels of silver.

Hard peach with beauty tea

Red dates with warming uterus tea

Persimmon with stomach-soothing tea

Apples with fatigue-relieving tea

Soft peach with soothing tea

She is truly outstanding.

Li Shuchen spent a long time tinkering in the kitchen, frying tea leaves, boiling milk, juicing fruit, and peeling fruit pieces, before finally making these hot and sweet drinks.

Then they found a large tray, took the prepared drinks out for everyone to try, and received unanimous praise.

Ah, I'm so happy! She'll be able to earn so much money again.

As night fell, Li Shuchen instructed the eighth and ninth brothers to cover the two golden pomelo trees with a large red cloth and hang large red flowers on them.

Everything is ready

Waiting for tomorrow

September 15th, Year 9 of the Purple Star: Auspicious for buying and selling.

Following her elder sister's instructions, Li Lingxiao waited at the entrance of the Happiness Inn, and soon saw Princess Changning's carriage.

"Princess Changning, Princess Changning"

Princess Changning stopped her carriage and looked outside.

"Li Lingxiao, what are you doing here?"

Li Lingxiao stepped forward and bowed.

"Princess Changning, my elder sister asked me to wait for you here so we can go to the orchard together."

"In that case, you shall follow, follow..."

Princess Changning frowned. She felt uncomfortable sharing a carriage with a man from another family, and none of the guests were people Li Lingxiao knew. Finding a seat for him was a real dilemma for her.

"Brother Li, why don't you ride in the same carriage with me?"

"Brother Xiao, you're going too!"

Princess Changning looked at Xiao Xiuyuan and asked...

"It seems I didn't send you an invitation."

Xiao Xiuyuan took out an exquisite invitation card and said

"This is an invitation from Lord Gu Xiang. Princess Changning, please take a look."

Princess Changning glanced at the invitation and then looked away.

"Since Ziying invited you to the banquet, this princess need not look any further and may go with you."

"Thank you, Princess Changning."

Li Lingxiao put her arm around Xiao Xiuyuan and said...

"Brother Xiao, you should have said you were coming too! I could have just gone to find you."

"Brother Li and I have been studying diligently at the academy every day, as you know. It was only when I returned home today, during my day off, that I learned that Miss Gu had sent me an invitation, which is why I rushed over without stopping."

"I was so excited I forgot. I only found out this morning that I was going to my sister's fruit farm. I don't know what fun things my sister is up to."

"You'll see when we arrive, Brother Li, please."

"Brother Xiao, please."

The grand procession headed towards Guozhuang, with the princess's guards keeping a close watch along the way. Everyone arrived safely at Guozhuang.

Li Shuchen had arranged for people to stand guard at the door early in the morning. Upon seeing the guests arrive, they shouted in unison...

Welcome to Chaohui Fruit Manor

Li Shuchen wore a new autumn outfit today; the orange-yellow clothes matched the autumn season perfectly, and she greeted everyone with great enthusiasm.

"Please come in, please come in."

"Please come in, everyone."

"Please come in, please come in quickly."

Li Shuchen smiled radiantly at the guests; this was all glittering gold!

A girl in a pink dress got off the carriage road

"Such a rich fruity aroma!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen quickly went up to greet him.

"Young lady, please come inside. It smells even better inside, and the scenery is beautiful too."

"Really? Then I'll see what's so special about this fruit farm."

"Please, young lady."

Li Shuchen led the guests inside first, Gu Ziying stood among them, and Princess Changning handled the aftermath.

"Wow, these fruit trees are all adorned with red ribbons, fluttering in the wind—it's truly unique!"

"Yes, it's so lively and festive!"

"This fruit orchard has no sense of seriousness, which has made me quite relaxed."

Upon hearing this, the guests unanimously agreed. They had always been cautious and prudent at banquets in the capital, and had never felt so at ease before.

Li Shuchen smiled upon hearing this, saying, "It's good that everyone likes it."

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must be tired from your journey. Please follow me to the pavilion to rest for a while, enjoy some fresh fruit and the beautiful scenery. There will be some novel experiences waiting for you later."

The girl in pink asked excitedly

Do you really mean what you said?

Li Shuchen responded, "It's absolutely true. Li Shuchen wouldn't dare to deceive anyone."

"Then I'll believe Miss Li."

The pavilion gradually came into view.

"This pavilion is so lush with flowers and leaves that it seems to have a life of its own."

"How fitting for the occasion! This arrangement must have taken a lot of thought to create, and it's so thoughtful. It must have been done by Miss Li."

Li Shuchen smiled smugly

"No, no, this was created by Lord Gu. All the arrangements in this garden were designed by Lord Gu."

"I've long heard that Lady Gu is skillful and methodical; today I can have a good discussion with her."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen understood that it was Ziying's turn.

He then abdicated and beckoned Ziying over.

The girls ate fresh fruit while listening to Gu Ziying explain her decorating tips.

Li Shuchen found some free time and went to find Li Lingxiao. On the way, someone grabbed his clothes.

Looking back, it was the girl in pink.

The girl in pink, with her sharp eyes, had already spotted her beloved item. Unable to remain seated in the pavilion, she ran out.

"Miss Li, may I sit on that swing?"
