Chapter 284 Naming (I)

After lunch, the sun shone through the clouds, casting dappled shadows. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves in the courtyard. Zhu Qingqing gracefully put down her bowl and chopsticks and said softly, "I want to go to the East City house and check on the situation."

Upon hearing this, the Second Madam hurriedly stood up and personally arranged for someone to escort Zhu Qingqing to the East City residence. She carefully instructed, "Master Zhu, Yang Wu, Yang Jiu, and Li Quan, several capable men, have already been dispatched there. If you have any needs or encounter any problems, don't hesitate to ask them. Just give them your orders!"

Zhu Qingqing smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood, and responded, "Don't worry, Second Madam. I know what I'm doing and I will definitely not be shy with them." After that, she went out and got on the carriage to the East City house.

As Zhu Qingqing sat in the swaying carriage, her mind already preoccupied with her soon-to-be-opened shop. Her brow furrowed slightly as she pondered the numerous complexities of opening a shop, such as renovations, merchandise procurement, and staff training. She was completely absorbed in planning her future business, lacking the leisure and inclination to appreciate the beautiful streetscapes that might normally draw her to her.

The carriage slowly entered East City, its wheels creaking. As they passed the renowned Zuifenglou, Zhu Qingqing noticed a group of people gathered there, pointing and talking, seemingly discussing something interesting. However, Zhu Qingqing, preoccupied with the business of opening a shop, paid little attention. She simply glanced at them and then turned away, continuing to ponder her own affairs.

Before long, the carriage finally arrived at its destination—Wutong Street. From a distance, Zhu Qingqing spotted several figures standing outside her home, huddled together, engaged in a lively discussion. As the carriage drew closer, Zhu Qingqing could see that it was her parents, her younger sister Zhu Yingying, and her daughter Didi.

After the carriage stopped steadily at the gate, Zhu Qingqing jumped off the carriage impatiently, walked quickly towards her family, and asked, "Mom, Dad, Yingying, Didi, what are you doing standing here?" Didi waved his hands excitedly and answered first, "Mom, we are discussing giving this new home a nice and loud name! And then we need to make a big plaque and hang it above the gate. It will be so grand!" As he spoke, he pointed to the empty space above the gate.

At this time, Zhu Yingying also smiled and agreed, "That's right, sister. And I think we should ask a respected celebrity to write this plaque. Only then can it match our house given by the emperor!"

Zhu Qingqing: "So what name have you guys thought of?"

Wu Di looked up at the sky. "Children shouldn't get involved in adult matters. This isn't something I should be concerned about."

Mother Zhu: "I just want it to be high-end and classy."

Father Zhu: "Actually, I think we should let Old Master Zhu take it. After all, this house belongs to someone else. We can't use the house and take away the naming rights."

Zhu Qingqing: "Dad is just kind."

Father Zhu said proudly: "That's right. I have always been a kind and upright person."

Zhu Qingqing: "So none of you have figured it out yet. Why are you still standing here wasting time? Don't you know there are so many things to do...

Seeing Zhu Qingqing was about to lose her temper,

Mother Zhu said hurriedly, "Don't we have something ready? The Yang family's Pinxiangyuan is pretty good, we can just use it. We're all from the same family anyway..."
