Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Shen Shen looked through the tea purchase account book that Zhenying had found, which was recorded by Madam Liu, but she did not find any clues. She closed the account book and thought to herself: I don't know who the owner of Ting'an Tea Shop is. It seems that I have to go there again tomorrow.

And don't alert the enemy for now, just go over there and take a look tomorrow.

After having dinner in the main courtyard, there was no conversation all night.

At the hour of Mao the next day, the whole family went to pay their respects to the old lady in an orderly manner.

The old lady told Shen Shen Shen to be careful when leaving the house and to go out early and come back early. Shen Shen Shen obeyed obediently.

After returning to the main courtyard, Madam Shen worriedly reminded her second daughter again, and asked her personal maid Ban Xing to give Shen Shen Shen ten taels of silver: "When you go out, girls should keep some money with them. Don't be too frugal. If you run out of money, come to your mother for more."

Shen Shenshen felt extremely warm inside. She leaned towards her mother in this life and said, "Mom, you are so kind."

Mrs. Shen was a little flattered and turned to look at her daughter, who had never been close to her, and said excitedly, "You are so old, and you are still acting like a spoiled child with your mother. Go quickly, or you will be late. Remember to return home early before dinner."

"Yeah." Shen Shenshen nodded obediently.

After saying goodbye to her mother, Shen Shenshen returned to her own Qinghua Garden, had a quick breakfast, dressed up simply, and led Zhenying out of the house.

The Marquis' Mansion was not located in the downtown area because of its large area. Instead, it occupied half a street in a neighborhood of high-ranking nobles. Therefore, it would take at least an incense stick of time to take a carriage from the Marquis' Mansion to Zhuque Street, the most prosperous main street in the capital.

Shen Shen looked out through the curtain of the carriage and couldn't help but sigh.

The capital city of Dongxiang is really prosperous.

I saw the buildings on both sides of the road gradually transitioning from the majestic and solemn walls of noble houses to two- or three-story buildings with shops along the street. One building after another was neatly arranged on both sides of the road, crowded but neat. In the gaps between the buildings there were all kinds of small stalls selling small gadgets or food. Peddlers, merchants, pedestrians and carriages were entangled together, passing each other, and the place was bustling with people and very lively.

When they arrived in the downtown area, the carriage was moving very slowly. When Shen Shenshen was leaning against the carriage and dozing off because she had gotten up early, she finally heard the coachman's voice: "Second Miss, we're here."

Shen Shenshen suddenly woke up, quickly lifted the car curtain and took a look, he was so surprised that he almost cried out.

The Silver Crane Tower is located in the center of Zhuque Street, Dongyang City, the capital of Dongxiang State. It covers an area of ​​2 mu. The facade of the whole building is dark gray with vermilion columns. It looks stable and majestic. There are three floors in the building. The three characters of Silver Crane Tower on the plaque were bestowed by the current emperor. It is definitely the most iconic building on Zhuque Street.

Just by looking at the exterior, you can tell that the things sold inside the building are not cheap. The carriages at the door are bigger than the last, and the customers coming in and out are all dressed in fancy clothes, and they must be either rich or noble.

Isn’t this a building that sells luxury goods in modern society!

Shen Shen Shen quickly jumped off the carriage, holding up her skirt. She wore a grass green embroidered dress with a pink shawl on the outside, and her hair was tied into two girlish buns. She creatively put two small glass peach flower hairpins on one bun, and a jade and cat's eye pearl flower on the other bun, which contrasted with the color of her clothes. Shen Shen Shen had lost a lot of weight in the past thirty years. She still looked chubby, but not bloated. Because of her fair skin and tall stature, her clothes and jewelry were relatively expensive, and she matched them in a unique way. She looked energetic and attracted the attention of a few passers-by as soon as she got off the carriage.

She told the coachman and the guards to wait at the door, and she couldn't wait to take Zhenying in.

The entire Heyin Building can be described as magnificent, glittering, full of gold and jade, extravagant, and luxurious. No, these idioms cannot describe how luxurious this building is. The pillars on the first floor are inlaid with hollow white jade, and the floor should be polished with some kind of precious stone, which is very smooth. There are many dark brown wooden cabinets standing by the wall, which are filled with all kinds of women's accessories.

But, why did she feel that the whole hall was a bit deserted? Was it because the jewelry was too expensive? So there were few people? That's right, in the past, there wouldn't be too many customers in luxury stores. If there were too many customers, they would have to limit the number of people entering and let everyone queue up at the door.

"Miss, can you close your open mouth? It's really ugly." Zhenying couldn't help but speak.

"Zhenying, this is so extravagant, it's even more extravagant than any other luxury store I've ever been to."

"Miss, what is a luxury store? I have never heard of it."

"Ah, no... I just made it up. Whose property is this?"

"Miss, this is the property of Prince Zhong's family. Zhenying looked at her mistress in confusion: "Who else but the prince can run such a big shop in the middle of Zhuque Street?"

Prince Zhong’s Palace.

As soon as he heard the name, memories about the original owner and the palace slowly flooded into Shen Shenshen's mind.

The current emperor of Dongxiang State is surnamed Zhu (which made Shen Shen think he had traveled to the Ming Dynasty at first). His name is Zhu Haochen, and his younger brother is the prince Zhu Haoyu. Because the title of the emperor should be avoided, the previous emperor gave Zhu Wangye the title of Prince Zhong, and established a palace. In the entire Dongxiang, besides the royal family, the Prince Zhong's Palace is the most prominent. Zhu Haoyu has one wife and three concubines, and many children. Among them, the ones Shen Shen Shen is slightly familiar with are of course the legitimate sons and daughters.

The most crucial point is that the ancestors of the entire royal family and the ancestors of Shen Shenshen’s mother belong to the same clan. Although they are no longer considered relatives if they are beyond the fifth degree of mourning, the bloodline of the entire royal family still inherited her stunning beauty.

The legitimate daughters and sons of Prince Zhong’s mansion are all gods who have descended to earth.

The eldest son, Zhu Yanxiao, is five years older than Shenshen. The second son, Zhu Yanji, is three years older than Shenshen. The third son, Zhu Yanyou, is two years older than Shenshen.

The eldest daughter, Zhu Zhixi, was of similar age to her, and they were close friends known throughout the capital.

Shen Shen was a little puzzled about this. Why would the eldest daughter of a legitimate family be friends with the silly and stupid second daughter of a marquis's mansion?

As she was recovering her memory, she suddenly heard a slightly deep male voice coming from the stairs: "Second Miss Shen?"

Shen Shen turned around and took a look.

A man with black hair and black clothes stood on the stairs.

He had a handsome face, fair skin, dark eyes, a high nose, thin lips, and black hair that looked like pearls in the autumn moon. His long hair was tied up high beside his ears, fixed with a crown, and then tied with a black ribbon, which casually dangled on the remaining long hair behind his head.

The man was very tall and slender, wearing a dark blue gown, a black belt, and a black coat embroidered with silver patterns. According to the standards of his previous life, Shen Shenshen estimated that he was at least 185cm tall.

The black clothes made him look even more handsome.

The appearance of the handsome man attracted the ladies in the store to look back frequently, feeling very embarrassed. Two servants followed behind him, and it seemed that they were about to go downstairs and leave.

Shen Shenshen had never seen such a handsome man in her past or present life.

After her memory flashed through her mind, she smiled at the handsome man and said:

"Hello, Xiaozhu!"
