Chapter 8 Opening

After a busy day, Zhu Muchen lay tiredly on the rocking chair. Shang Ziyou knelt on the ground to help him beat his legs. Bai Xiaoman was beside him, pinching his shoulders and feeding Zhu Muchen a grape from time to time.

Yuan Xi brought Nanny Su to deliver soup to Zhu Muchen. There was a "crackling" sound in the house. They heard the sound and stopped in the corridor. Yuan Xi gently opened a crack in the door and saw two maids.

While she was squeezing Zhu Muchen's shoulders and beating her legs, Grandma Su was holding soup and peeking behind at the crack in the door.

"These two girls look pretty good. What do you think about letting them be Chen'er's roommate maids? If they can have a son and a half daughters, give them the title of concubine. What do you think of Granny Su?" Yuan

Xi looked at the two maids inside and said softly.

At Zhu Muchen's age, he should have gotten married a long time ago, but Zhu Muchen suffered from brain disease before. Many wealthy families did not want to marry their daughters to Zhu Muchen. After all, no one can predict whether the brain disease will relapse one day.

, the two maids in front of her are good-looking, and she doesn’t want to worry about their life experience so much, as long as they can give him a few fat grandsons.

"That's their blessing." Nanny Su replied while bending down with the soup in her hand.

Yuan Xi looked back at Aunt Su with a smile, then opened the door and walked in without saying anything. Aunt Su also followed in carrying soup.

"Queen Mother, you are here!" Zhu Muchen stood up and said, and Shang Ziyou, who was kneeling beside him, hurriedly put on his shoes.

"Chen'er, my mother has stewed pig brain soup for you. Come and drink it while it's hot." Yuan Xi picked up a spoon and filled the soup with a smile.

Since Zhu Muchen recovered, Princess Yuan Xi has been giving him pig brain soup every day. In the feudal society, many people still believe in this system of eating whatever he eats.

Pig brain soup? When Zhu Muchen heard this, he felt a little nauseous. It tasted quite good when he first started drinking it. He has been drinking it for half a month. Who can resist drinking it every day? Now he sees the white and soft pig.

Nao felt nauseous, and he felt that he really couldn't drink it today. If he drank more, he would rename it "Zhu Nao Soup".

Zhu Muchen took the pig brain soup from Yuan Xi's hand with a smile and placed it cleverly on the table beside him. He took Princess Yuan Xi's arm and walked to the seat on the other side. He wanted to distract Princess Yuan Xi's attention.

He wanted to chat with her for a while before sending her away. As for the soup, he would let the two maids drink it. After all, the princess stewed it for him personally, and he couldn't bear to throw it away.

Just when Zhu Muchen was feeling proud and felt that his plan was perfect, Princess Yuan Xi gently broke away from his hand, turned around and picked up the soup he had placed on the table aside.

"This won't taste good when it's cold. Come and feed me." Yuan Xi motioned for Zhu Muchen to sit down, scooped up a spoonful of pig brains and blew on it gently a few times, then fed it to Zhu Muchen one bite at a time.

Today's pig brain soup, the bowl is full of pig brains, it is no different from eating tofu curd. Yuan Xi has been stewing pig brain soup for more than ten years. Today she suddenly felt that Zhu Muchen's brain disease was caused by this pig.

The brain was cured, and she really couldn't think of any other reason besides this, so she specially asked her servants to prepare two more pig brains for him to stew soup today, and she felt that Zhu Muchen's brain was quite active now, so she asked him to eat two more every day.

Pig brain, maybe there is room for improvement.

"Mother, from now on, you don't have to work so hard. You don't have to stew pig brain soup for me anymore. Seeing you working so hard, I will feel sorry for you." Zhu Muchen wiped his mouth and said, looking like a filial son, Zhu Muchen

He was complaining in his heart, this is not pig brain soup, it is just tofu curd stewed with pig brains. If he continues to eat like this, he might be able to eat it raw one day.

"My Chen'er has really grown up." Yuan Xi held Zhu Muchen's hand in emotion and said.

"Master, it's rare for the prince to have such filial piety. From now on, let me leave the soup-making to this old slave." Aunt Su bowed slightly and said.

Princess Yuan Xi nodded when she heard this and said: "Okay, I'll leave the stew to you. Remember to put three pig brains in."

"Old slave, I know." Nanny Su bowed slightly and replied.

When Zhu Muchen heard this, his eyes suddenly became moist, and two lines of tears fell down his face. Whether he was moved or crying, only he knew in his heart.

"What a silly boy." Yuan Xi saw Zhu Muchen crying and hurriedly stood up to help him wipe away his tears.

In the eyes of a mother, this is filial piety and a filial son. Yuan Xi looked at Zhu Muchen with joy, and her eyes slowly became moist.

Grandma Su and the two maids on the side shed tears of emotion when they saw the scene of a loving mother and a filial son.

Zhu Meng, who originally came to chat with Zhu Muchen, saw the loving mother and son outside the door, wiped his eyes with his hands, and then walked in.

"My beloved concubine is here too. Prince Chen'er and his father are here to see you." Zhu Meng pressed down Zhu Muchen who was about to get up with his hand and said.

"Father, you are here too." Zhu Muchen responded.

Aunt Su retreated with the two maids. Zhu Meng and Zhu Muchen set up the chess board, while Yuan Xi stood aside and watched the father and son play chess.

Aunt Su took Bai Xiaoman and Shang Ziyou to her room, smiled and motioned for the two maids to come in and sit down, and then she closed the door.

"Is there something wrong with Aunt Su?" Bai Xiaoman asked, and Shang Ziyou also looked at Aunt Su curiously.

"There are some things. There are no outsiders here today, so I won't beat around the bush. The princess wants you two to be maids who live with the young prince." Aunt Su poured a cup of tea for the two of them and said.

The two of them looked a little shy when they heard this. They both blushed, as if two pomegranate petals suddenly flew to their cheeks. They both lowered their eyes, and their long eyelashes were gently brushing.

move.

"We are the only ones here, girls, are you willing?" Grandma Su looked at the two maids with a kind look on her face and asked.

"I will obey the princess's arrangements." Bai Xiaoman lowered her head and agreed softly.

Aunt Su nodded with satisfaction to Bai Xiaoman, then looked at Shang Ziyou and said, "Are you willing? Girl."

Shang Ziyou's face turned as red as Guan Gong's, and he nodded lightly.

"Okay, serve the young prince well from now on. The princess said that if you can give birth to a son and a half, I will give you a title and I will not treat you unfairly." Aunt Su said with a happy smile.

The courtyard was quiet, the sky had just darkened, and the veil of night unconsciously covered everything near and far.

"Hoo~" Zhu Muchen blew out the candles. He went to bed earlier than usual tonight because tomorrow is the day when his supermarket opens.

Zhu Muchen had just closed his eyes when suddenly there was a "creak~" sound and the door was pushed open.

"Who?" Zhu Muchen hurriedly sat up and asked. He saw the clothes of the two girls fluttering. They were wearing white silk skirts with very low necklines. They were slender and had long hair draped over their vests. They were gently holding their hearts with a silver ribbon.

Heart and soul.

With a "bah" sound, the two girls closed the door, and Zhu Muchen couldn't help but stare blankly.

"Xiaoman, Ziyou? You... why are you dressed like this?" Zhu Muchen said a little shyly.

"Little prince, the princess has asked us to be your maids in the same room. From now on, we will serve you and sleep with you." Bai Xiaoman lowered his head and said softly. Shang Ziyou, who was beside him, also lowered his head.

Silent.

Roommate? When Zhu Muchen heard this, his heart was filled with ups and downs. What a disgusting feudal society! I can't stand even one lying next to me, and two more are coming? Who can withstand this, God! Who can accept such a test.

"I'm going to tell my mother, you guys, go back." Zhu Muchen stood up and said, with the soles of his feet interspersed with his shoes.

Zhu Muchen was so panicked that he even wore his shoes backwards. A surge of blood surged into his heart. He didn't dare to look at the two girls in front of him, and he kept trying to control his inner fluctuations.

Bai Xiaoman gently took Zhu Muchen's hand and helped him sit on the bed. Shang Ziyou bent down to help him take off the shoes he had just put on inside out, neatly placed them under the bed, and then put them down.

Bai Xiaoman stretched out his hand to put down the brocade tent tied to one side. That night, Bai Xiaoman and Shang Ziyou slept on Zhu Muchen's bed. Chu Yun Xiang Yu, the fragrance was warm and jade was soft.

In the early morning, the sky gradually broke, and the light blue sky was inlaid with a few remaining stars. Inside the house, it was hazy, and Bai Xiaoman and Monk Ziyou were dressing up. They had washed up early and were waiting for Zhu Muchen to wake up and help him wash and change clothes.

"Little prince, you're awake." Seeing that Zhu Muchen had woken up, Shang Ziyou put the facekerchief into the prepared hot water.

"Well, wake up, why did you get up so early? You don't have to get up so early in the future." Zhu Muchen sat up and stretched.

"We are all used to it." After Bai Xiaoman said this, he picked up the shoes and helped Zhu Muchen put them on.

"Come and rinse your mouth first." Shang Ziyou handed a cup of tea to Zhu Muchen, and then picked up a spittoon.

The three of them were no longer as awkward as last night, and seemed much closer. The two of them helped Zhu Muchen get dressed in a tacit understanding, and playful laughter could be heard from time to time in the house.

Zhu Meng and Yuan Xi also got up very early today and were waiting for Zhu Muchen and the others in the dining room early. Princess Yuan Xi also specially asked Grandma Su to arrange two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.

As soon as Zhu Muchen entered the dining room, he saw Zhu Meng and Yuan Xi. He said with a smile: "Father, king, mother, queen." Two maids followed him.

"Xiaoman, Ziyou, come here and sit next to me." Yuan Xi said with a smile on his face.

"Come, have breakfast with the princess, don't be restrained and eat more." Zhu Meng waved.

"Thank you, Prince, and Princess." Bai Xiaoman and Shang Ziyou saluted the Prince and Princess, and then sat next to Yuan Xi.

"Don't be so formal. We will all be a family from now on." Zhu Muchen said with a smile on his face.

Yuan Xi kept sandwiching snacks for Bai Xiaoman and Shang Ziyou, and the two of them kept eating with their heads lowered. Seeing this, Zhu Muchen and Zhu Meng burst into laughter, and the atmosphere of the breakfast slowly became joyful.

This morning, there was a lot of traffic in front of a building in the market. Many vendors came in with their goods. Many people were curious and stopped in front of the door to look inside. More and more people were watching at the door.

Pang Man led a team of carts to the door of the building. The cart was filled with thick wooden piles and several baskets of axes.

"Put it up, place it neatly, be careful." Pang Man directed the people arranging the convoy to move to the designated location.

At this time, another cart arrived in front of the door, with three wooden turntables on it. The two men on the cart unloaded them on the ground one after another.

"Place the three wooden turntables at the door." Pang Man directed.

Zhu Muchen came to the scene with his two young wives. When Pang Man saw Zhu Muchen, he bowed his hands and saluted him. Zhu Muchen greeted him and took out an iron gong.

"Dang Dang Dang...".

Zhu Muchen rang the gong in his hand and said: "Good morning, fellow villagers, and welcome to Qianqianqian Supermarket." As soon as Zhu Muchen finished speaking, he reached out and removed the red cloth blocking the plaque.

Five big characters were revealed on the plaque: "Chop, chop, chop, supermarket". Bai Xiaoman, monk Ziyou and the two girls looked at each other. Neither of them said anything, but looked at Zhu Muchen and Pang with a strange look.

Man was very calm, because he helped Zhu Muchen find a carpenter to order this plaque.

“Cut chop chop supermarket????”

“What is this place for?”

"Ahem, there are so many wooden piles, they must be selling wood," the onlookers commented one after another.

Zhu Muchen held up the drum stick and said: "Quiet, everyone, everyone, everyone who purchases any item in this supermarket today can participate in the axe-cutting activity."

"An axe-cutting activity???" The onlookers started talking in confusion.

"Dang Dang Dang~Quiet, quiet, listen to me," Zhu Muchen knocked on the gong again.

"When you purchase any item in this supermarket, you can get a chopping scroll. A chopping scroll can only be used to cut a wooden stake once. Anyone who cuts a wooden stake will be rewarded with one or two cash red envelopes. There is no upper limit for cutting as much as you want."

Zhu Muchen pointed to the wooden pile and said.

"One tael of silver? Go and buy it quickly." The onlookers' eyes lit up after hearing this. When they were about to rush in to buy, they were stopped by Zhu Muchen.

"Don't worry, don't worry. When I finish, you can also invite your relatives and friends to come and help you chop an axe. You can get one or two cash red envelopes by just chopping the wooden stakes." After Zhu Muchen finished speaking, Zhu Muchen used

The drum stick in his hand pointed in the direction of the three wooden turntables, indicating to everyone to look over there.

Zhu Muchen walked to the three turntables and said: "These are the three lottery tickets launched by this supermarket. Each one costs two cents. You can choose any of the three turntables. The three numbers you like will be played at noon every day.

The lottery will be drawn in front of everyone, and the winner will receive ten taels of silver. There is no limit to the number of winners. The specific gameplay is written on the board below the turntable."

"What's the winning prize? Twelve taels?" The onlookers made a roar.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

Zhu Muchen banged the gong several times and shouted: "Open the door to welcome guests."

There were already impatient people outside the door, swarming into the supermarket. Some people were studying how to play the three-place lottery by the wooden plate.

"Staggered gameplay, the winning numbers do not need to be in order, and you can get five taels of silver if you win."

"For correct play, the winning numbers must be arranged in the order of purchase. For example, if you purchase: 123 and draw: 321, you will be deemed not to have won. If you must draw 123 in the same order, you will be deemed to have won. If you win, you will receive

"Ten taels of silver" A group of people carefully studied the gameplay on the wooden board, and many people were interested in this three-place lottery.

The supermarket building was crowded with people. The vendors inside were stunned by the crowds of people rushing in to buy. Many people did not bring much goods today and felt like they were regretting it. No one would have thought that so many people would flock to this building to buy things.

.

The third floor has the most people. Zhu Muchen invited a juggling troupe to perform on the third floor. You only need to spend ten cents in the supermarket to watch it for free. During this year, juggling performances can be regarded as high-end variety shows, and the temptation is still

Very big, especially for children.

There are a lot of people on the second floor. There are some snacks on the second floor. Many people choose to buy some snacks on the second floor and then go up to watch the sideshows. But today, the owners of these snack stalls are very busy and busy. They have never

I have never received so many guests, and collecting money is a bit overwhelming, it feels like a dream.

This floor is a bit deserted. The first floor mainly sells vegetables, meat, etc. Today, these vendors did not bring many goods, and they were sold out in a short time.

The gate was even more exaggerated, with people queuing up for dozens of meters to buy prize tickets from three places, and people participating in the axe-cutting activity had an endless line in sight.

"Little prince, you are so awesome." Bai Xiaoman and Shang Ziyou instantly became Zhu Muchen's little crush.

Pang Man wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back. He felt that it was necessary to re-examine the prince Zhu Muchen.

"Let's go up and watch the sideshow." Zhu Muchen said, holding the hand of Bai Xiaoman and Shang Ziyou.

"The prince's side is also blocked and the carriage can't pass," a coachman shouted.

"What's going on in this market today? Why is it so crowded?" Zhu Meng asked in confusion.

Zhu Meng originally wanted to take a look at Zhu Muchen's opening today, but the carriage was blocked and couldn't pass. He wanted to walk over, but found that it was difficult to walk past the scene in front of him.

"Forget it, turn around and go back to the palace." Zhu Meng shook his head and said.
