Yueqin Teahouse is one of the most famous teahouses in Luoyang City. Ten years ago, this was just a shabby little teahouse that almost closed its doors. But who would have thought that Chu Zhuyu, the daughter of the teahouse owner, took years to make the teahouse so impressive.
Chu Zhuyu is a good tea. The difference between Yueqin Teahouse and other teahouses is that there are always many fresh patterns. Some time ago, several scented teas were launched, using flowers into tea, which attracted a group of literati and elegant scholars, and made them one of a kind in the teahouse industry.
But at this moment, in the Chu family's lobby, Chu Zhuyu's face could never find any happy expression.
She was wearing a goose-yellow skirt, which made her plump body even more rounded, cough, cough, she was plump, definitely not fat, and those bright black eyes were staring angrily at the two in front of her at the moment, " Uncle, what do you mean by that?"
"Zhuyu, this Yueqin Teahouse is also the property of the Chu family. You are surnamed Chu, but you are a woman after all. In the future, you will marry and have children, and the children will not be named Chu. It is difficult for our Chu family's industry to surrender. People?" Chu Xiang, who was called Uncle, stroked his goatee.
Chu Xiang's son, Chu Mucai, said, "Cousin, my father's willingness to pay 1,000 taels of silver to take over your teahouse is already a great thing. What else do you want?"
"Humph!" Chu Zhuyu snorted, her teahouse was worth more than this amount of money, "When my grandfather passed away, it was you who said they would split up the family. With so much grandpa's property, you only left this Yueqin teahouse for me. With my father. Now that the teahouse is making money, I want to benefit from it again! Tell me, if I sell this teahouse for 1,000 taels, how many people will come to buy it?"
Chu Mucai's expression changed, "Chu family's property, you can sell it if you say it is sold!"
"This land deed is still in my hands, why can't I sell it?" Chu Zhuyu rolled her eyes and saw shameless people, but she had never seen such a shameless cousin and uncle.
"Could it be that cousin wants to meet in court?" Chu Mucai threatened, "As the saying goes, people don't fight with officials, cousin wants to forget my identity, why don't you tell her, Er uncle."
The second uncle in Chu Mucai's mouth was naturally Chu Zhuyu's father, Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng had a weak temper, so he only pulled his daughter aside and whispered, "Yu'er, your cousin is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he is the official of the seventh grade, not to mention that he is still the current Dali temple minister. Our students, we can't afford it."
"Father!" Chu Zhuyu said with relief, what kind of background Chu Mu is, she naturally knew, "I'm not greedy for money, but I'm not reconciled. Back then when my grandfather passed away, my mother passed away, and my uncle and his family ignored us. At that time, the teahouse was dilapidated and had no business. Now that we have come over, it is not so easy for them to pick up ready-made cheap."
"Yu'er, what do you think of?" Chu Sheng knew that her daughter had always had many ideas.
Chu Zhuyu smiled lightly, then turned to face Chu Xiang and Chu Mucai, "Uncle, cousin, are you worried that I will marry someone and give birth to a child with a foreign surname, so you can't bear to hand over the Chu family's property to others? "
The Chu family looked at each other and nodded, "Exactly!"
"That's easy to solve." The smile on her lips became more and more obvious.
"How to solve it?" The father and son of the Chu family asked together.
"I'll just find someone to join the marriage." I believe that Chu Zhuyu only needs to climb up in Luoyang City, and the man who is willing to enter the marriage is not a lot of choices for her!
Four days later, Chu Zhuyu finally found out that it was not easy for her to find someone in the city to marry.
(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});
On the first day, she took pictures of the doors of 27 matchmakers in the city, but when she heard that Miss Chu was looking for someone to marry her, no matchmaker was willing to take over her business, calling her too demanding. In fact, her requirements are really not high, but she only requires the man to be knowledgeable, to be able to enter the kitchen and exit the hall, to understand tea, to taste tea, of course, the limbs must be healthy, and the body must be strong...
But before she could finish her request, the matchmakers had already kicked her out the door.
The next day, Chu Zhuyu began to look for some down-and-out literati in the city. This type of person usually has unfulfilled ambitions, lacks money and Bole, and is easy to start. After finally catching the thirteenth, after she explained her intentions, the other party actually said with a straight face: "How can we people who study, how can we humiliate the lintel and do this kind of thing."
Please, eldest brother, she didn't ask him to kill and set fire. Entering a family has nothing to do with humiliating the lintel. "I can pay you to take the exam, so that you can shine on your ancestors one day."
"How can I break the man's body for the mere silver tael!"
"… "
The meaning of these words is similar to what the twelve literati who rejected her had said before.
On the third day, Chu Zhuyu planned to start with a martial artist. Those who practice martial arts should have an open mind and would not be so disgusted with the matter of joining the family. She searched, found a suitable person and was about to speak, but who knew that the other party was arguing with someone, and with a wave of her hand, she beat the person out.
Chu Zhuyu trembled and fled. After all, she didn't want to have a dispute between husband and wife one day, and she would be kicked out by such a slap.
On the fourth day, she rushed directly to the most famous flower building in the city, and found a clerk, "I paid you to redeem and let you live in my house, okay?"
(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});
The shepherd knelt down in a hurry, but what he said was not the words of gratitude in Chu Zhuyu's imagination: "Miss Chu, I beg you, please forgive me, I don't want to die so early, and I also think that one day I can inherit the lineage. , and live a normal life.”
"I joined my Chu family, is it possible that my life is not normal?"
"Your uncle has already given up his words in the city. If any young servant dares to enter your house and let you conceive a child, he will be cut off immediately!" The little servant cried so sadly that she felt embarrassed. .
Walking out of the flower building all the way, Chu Zhuyu felt that her mind was a mess.
Is it difficult, finding someone to marry is also a huge difficulty? She just wants a child with the surname Chu, and doesn't even care who the child's father is.
"Hey, did you hear? That maid from Sun Yuan's family, even shamelessly seduced the master, and even conceived a child!"
"It's really shameless!"
"Who made that girl lucky, she was found by Sun Yuanwai's big house, and when she was about to be dragged out and beaten, she happened to find out that she was pregnant. I heard that Sun Yuanwai planned to marry that girl as her seventh concubine."
In that room, a group of three aunts and six women were talking about gossip. In this room, Chu Zhuyu listened with relish, but felt that there was hope in front of her.
"As a maid, is it easy to seduce the master to conceive a child?" She leaned forward and asked shamelessly.

"Seeing as you are still a girl, how can you ask these words?" said an old lady-like humane.
"Hey, you're a girl, it's normal not to know." Another woman whispered to Zhuyu, "This maid and the master can be said to be close to the water tower. From ancient times to the present, most maid mothers are expensive with their children, and they are pregnant. The master's child is someone else's concubine."
Chu Zhuyu's eyes were bright when she heard it. It turns out that being a maid has such wonderful benefits.
OK, it's decided! She wants to be a maid, and then works hard... uh, to be pregnant with a child, as for the concubine, let another woman do it!
The next day, Chu Zhuyu stood in front of a middle-aged butler.
"age?"
"eighteen."
"Are you married yet?"
"No."
"I know that there are many rules in the house, and you must pay attention to your words and deeds. Even if you are just a maid, you must keep your duties and don't be delusional."
"Yes, yes!" Chu Zhuyu nodded her head like garlic, only to feel that the housekeeper in front of her was warning her as if she knew what she was thinking.
"But seeing that you have a lot of flesh, I think you won't dislike it if you come to the general." The butler continued.
"General?" She is here to be a maid, what does it have to do with the flesh on her body
"From now on, you will be the maid of the General's Mansion, with a monthly bill of two taels of silver." Butler Xiao took out a contract and pressed Chu Zhuyu's handprint.
What? Shouldn't she be a maid in Kang's mansion, how did she become the general's mansion
Chu Zhuyu raised her head blankly and ran outside the mansion, looking at the three big characters "General's Mansion" on the door plaque, and then glanced to the side, the word "Kang Mansion" was on the door plaque of the next mansion.
wow! No!
