Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

Anyway, the shop was very big, with upstairs and downstairs, and the business was stable, accumulating a lot of regular customers.

Adding ready-made garments to the shop, as long as the styles are novel, might even boost the silk shop's business to a new level.

Customers can buy ready-made clothes they like from the shop, or have them custom-made if the size doesn't fit.

Choose the fabric and take the measurements at the shop, then take it to the workshop to have it made. You can pick it up a few days later.

She herself cannot draw new designs, so her sister-in-law has to keep providing the designs.

Asking her sister-in-law to occasionally draw some blueprints is a favor, but she can't take it for granted if it's a continuous request.

Or should we also partner with my sister-in-law and split the profits?

How should it be divided?

Mu Xia sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, resting her chin on her hands and tilting her head in thought.

The eldest sister-in-law is providing the blueprints?

So, for every piece of clothing sold, the sister-in-law gets a cut?

Sigh! How about we split it 30/70? This time, my sister-in-law gets 30%, and I get 70%. My sister-in-law doesn't have to contribute anything; she just needs to draw up the blueprints.

That's the decision. I'll talk to my sister-in-law about it tomorrow.

"Young Madam, dinner is ready," said Cuizhu, the maid Muxia brought from her maiden home, as she entered the pavilion.

Mu Xia asked, "Alright, have you gone to the study to invite the young master yet?"

Cuizhu replied, "Yes, I have."

When Mu Xia arrived at the dining room, Lin Shen was already sitting at the table. Upon seeing his daughter-in-law, he hurriedly greeted her, "Xia'er, come and eat quickly. Mother sent someone to bring you chicken soup to nourish your body."

Mu Xia smiled and agreed to sit next to him. She picked up a spoon, ladled a bowl of chicken soup, and handed it to Lin Shen, saying:

"My husband has worked hard studying, so he should have a bowl of this to nourish himself."

"Okay, Xia'er, you drink too." Lin Shen said, serving Mu Xia a bowl as well.

Mu Xia had been married for more than half a month, and Lin Shen treated her extremely well; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he took meticulous care of her.

Whenever he sees something delicious or tasty while he's out, he always buys some to bring back home and give to his wife.

After the two had dinner, Lin Shen originally wanted to go back to his study to review his lessons, as he would be going to the capital to take the imperial examination next spring.

His mother kept a close watch on him, and he dared not slack off, for fear of displeasing her.

But he felt dizzy and disoriented, as if he were drunk, his body was hot, and a certain part of him was erect.

He looked at Mu Xia with a dreamy gaze. Mu Xia's face was also rosy, and her red lips were even more vibrant and luscious.

"Xia'er." Lin Shen walked over and called softly, then embraced his wife and kissed her red lips.

Although Mu Xia was also feeling hot all over, she still retained a sliver of consciousness and knew that she was still in the dining room.

Mu Xia pushed Lin Shen away forcefully, slightly out of breath, and reminded him:

"My lord, this is the dining room."

"Let's go back to the room." Lin Shen said, trying to pick up Mu Xia, but his body was too heavy to lift her. He tried once but couldn't, and felt a little embarrassed.

To ease the awkwardness, Mu Xia gave him a captivating smile, then pulled him into the room.

"Xia'er, I..." After a night of passionate lovemaking, Mu Xia was exhausted and lay panting on her husband's chest before drifting off to sleep.

Lin Shen gently stroked his wife's black hair, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't.

Lin Shencai realized how difficult it was to control himself during sexual intercourse. What about his previous performance? Impotence?

If he is impotent, why is he able to get it today? Could it be that there was something wrong with the food he ate tonight?

He spent his days interacting with his classmates at the academy and had heard that some drugs could enhance one's sexual performance...

But who would administer such a drug to them?

Mother? Chicken soup, it must be that chicken soup.

Why would a mother do such a thing? Did she know she was impotent and therefore drugged herself in order to have a grandson?

How will he face his wife after this?

He didn't understand before, and thought that all men were like that.

In the past, after he finished, he would see his wife looking at him with tender eyes and expectant expression, and he would think that his wife was happy.

I only saw my wife at her peak tonight, and it was completely different from before.

How are they going to deal with this situation? They can't let his mother drug him every day.

The next morning, when Mu Xia woke up, she found that Lin Shen was no longer in bed.

Thinking back to what happened last night, I couldn't help but blush and feel my heart race again.

But after calming down, I realized something was wrong last night. Why was my husband able to do it all at once?

After thinking it over carefully, she realized that she seemed drunk last night, but she hadn't drunk any alcohol. How could she be drunk? The feeling of heat all over her body didn't seem like she had been drinking either.

"Is there something wrong with the chicken soup my mother-in-law sent?" She covered her mouth in surprise.

How could a mother-in-law do such a thing? She would even drug her son and daughter-in-law for the sake of her grandson.

Didn't she know these drugs were harmful to her son's health?

"Young Madam, are you awake?" the maid Cuizhu asked from outside the curtain.

"Oh, I'm awake. Help me wash up and get ready."

Cuizhu helped Muxia get dressed, and several maids brought hot water for her to wash up.

They went to the small dining room to have breakfast, and after breakfast, they had to pick up Lin Yu and Jingyi to go to the shop together.

Yesterday she sent someone to both the Lin and Jing families to discuss the matter, and both agreed to go.

"Did the young master go to the academy?"

"Young Madam, the young master went to the academy early this morning. He said, he said..." The maid stammered, unsure how to tell the young master what he had instructed.

"What did you say, young master?"

“Young Madam, the young master said he will be going to the capital to take the imperial examination next year. He wants to study hard, so he has moved to the academy. He asked us to take good care of you and he will come back to see you when he has time.”

"Cough cough..." Mu Xia choked on the porridge she had drunk and kept coughing.

Cuizhu quickly patted her back gently. She knew that after last night, the two of them would definitely feel a little awkward together, but she never expected that Lin Shen would not go home at all.

"Young Madam, please have some more." Cuizhu had the food replaced.

Mu Xia said, "Uh, I'm not eating. What time is it now?"

Cuizhu replied, "Young Madam, it is already three-quarters past Chen Shi (7:45 AM)."

"Let's go outside." Mu Xia got up and walked outside.

"Young Madam, aren't you going to pay your respects to the Old Madam?" Cuizhu asked, puzzled. In the past, the Young Madam would always pay her respects to the Old Madam before going out.

The young master is the same; he always greets the students before leaving the academy, but he didn't go today.

Moreover, the young master said that he would not return to the mansion in the future, but would live in the academy.

Did something happen that she doesn't know about?

"I'm not going." What her mother-in-law did last night was simply unbelievable, and Mu Xia didn't know how to face her.

Before, she had a gentle and considerate husband who would fuss over her every night, serving her food and massaging her shoulders.

But her husband couldn't face it and said he wouldn't come back and would stay at the academy.

Mu Xia glanced around. In this huge courtyard, apart from the maids and servants, she was the only person there.

Mu Xia went out through the back door, where a carriage was already waiting in the alley.
