Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 184 Good Luck

Today was destined to be a busy day. When Shen Shenshen arrived at Heyinlou by carriage, Zhu Yanxiao was already waiting for her. The post stipulated that she should arrive at Heyinlou at 9:00 pm and start the celebration activities on time at 3:00 pm. She looked at the water leak and saw that it would take more than an hour, so she quickly entered the building to arrange the final preparations before the opening of the building today.

Shen Shenshen displayed all the prepared jewelry. All the exquisite jewelry shone brightly like stars. The gorgeous hairpins swayed gently, as if telling an ancient story; the exquisite single and double hairpins complemented each other, exuding charming charm; the small and exquisite combs dotted in the display cabinet looked more graceful; and the hairpins shone with the gorgeous light of gemstones, which made people amazed.

At this time, Shen Shen ordered people to carefully place all the candles in specially customized glass lamps. The warm candlelight sprinkled all around through the thin glass cover, making the entire Heyin Building become like a dream, as if it was in a fairyland.

Today, everyone at Heyinlou saw for the first time the 'fairyland' that Heyinlou presented when it opened. They were all amazed and admired Second Miss Shen even more.

Seeing this, Zhu Yanxiao looked at Shen Shenshen with burning eyes and couldn't help but praise: "Shen Shen, very beautiful."

"Hehe, Ziyuan, are you praising Shenshen or our Heyinlou?" Shenshen couldn't help but gain confidence when he saw this scene. He felt that Heyinlou would be famous throughout the entire Dongxiang capital today. If there were social media in this life, it would definitely dominate the entire hot search list.

Zhu Yanxiao smiled: "They are all beautiful. But the most beautiful one is Shenshen." He approached her and gently smoothed the loose hair on her temples.

When the shopkeeper, maids, servants, and maidservants saw this, they all covered their mouths and laughed. They had seen such scenes so many times that they were used to it.

Zhu Yanxiao and Shen Shenshen quietly walked to a carefully renovated corridor on the first floor. A screen blocked most of their view, but everything going on in the hall on the first floor could be seen from the other side of the screen.

This morning, the sun is shining and there is a gentle breeze.

In front of the bustling Heyin Building, there was a constant flow of people and traffic. The most eye-catching thing was the magnificent and imposing glazed doors. In order to ensure the smooth opening of Heyin Building, Shen Shenshen specially selected six tall and handsome guards from the guards of the palace to assist. These six guards were not only agile, but also had extraordinary temperament.

As for the subsequent guards of the store, Zhu Yanxiao adopted Shen Shenshen's suggestion and first launched a guard recruitment within the palace. Interested guards voluntarily signed up to be the guards of Heyin Building. Once selected, the guards would take turns with the guards of the palace and would receive twice as much monthly silver as a reward. In this way, the guards fought hard for the quota, which largely ensured the safety of Heyin Building. This is a later story.

Just after four quarters past noon, the sound of a carriage was heard outside the door. The invited ladies and young ladies of the nobility had arrived.

No one expected that the first noble lady to arrive was actually an acquaintance of Shen Shenshen, Madam Xu from the Duke of Yunsheng's Mansion and Mu Chuchu, as well as an uninvited guest, Mu Yejun.

Mu Yejun got off the carriage, with a faint smile on his handsome face, still as gentle as jade. Mu Chuchu followed closely behind, with a light and agile figure, beautiful and heart-stirring, and long hair fluttering like silk. Finally, Mrs. Xu got off the carriage gracefully, with a dignified and kind face.

At the door, a tall and handsome guard and a servant saluted the three people and said, "Madam, Miss, Sir, please show us the invitation letter from Heyinlou."

Madam Xu looked at the handsome guard and was in a good mood. She waved to the maid Rongzhi behind her. Rongzhi handed over the invitation. The servant took it and checked it. After confirming that it was correct, Gao Sheng read out: "Madam Mu, the young master and the young lady of the Duke of Yunsheng's mansion have arrived."

Just as she finished reading, a maid in a green and white dress stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Please follow me, my three distinguished guests." She led Madam Xu and Mu Yejun through the glazed door and into the hall.

Immediately afterwards, carriages from other nobles' houses stopped in front of Heyin Tower. Shen Shenshen was very familiar with some of them: Deng Danxia, ​​the legitimate daughter of the Minister of War, Yuan Zimei, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, the princess and Zhu Zhixi, his mother and elder sister.

Even Zhou Yunxi, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Jing'an, came to attend the opening of Heyinlou today wearing a thick woven hat. The person who got off the carriage next was Zhou Yiran, the fourth son of Zhou Si.

People entered the building one after another, and without exception, they opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths slightly as if they had entered a world they had never been to. They were deeply shocked by the magnificent scene displayed by the Heyin Building before them.

The first thing that catches your eye is the colorful glass lamps placed on wooden frames as decorations. They illuminate the entire hall. They emit brilliant and colorful light, making the already magnificent Heyin Building even more elegant and luxurious.

There are also display cabinets inlaid with colored glass that have never been seen before. The cabinets are filled with luxurious jewelry, each of which is exquisite and breathtaking. Some are inlaid with precious gems and pearls, while others are carved with exquisite craftsmanship. The clever design and fine workmanship make people want to own them immediately. The transparent colored glass and the wooden frame complement each other, making the items displayed inside more precious and mysterious.

Finally, there is a wooden human-shaped display stand, which vividly displays various gorgeous necklaces and earrings, as if telling beautiful and moving stories.

Not only that, the maids, servants and housemaids in the building were all dressed in uniform and busy in unison. Their movements were light and graceful, and their faces were filled with "professional and friendly" smiles, giving the ladies a feeling of being at home.

In short, every detail here demonstrates unique taste and luxury, bringing unprecedented visual impact.

Mu Yejun vaguely understood what Shen Shenshen and Zhu Yanxiao were planning as an excuse for the previous math classes. For some reason, he felt that all of this was Shen Shenshen's idea, and the purpose should be to help Heyinlou defeat Zhaixinglou. He felt a little sad in his heart. After all, her heart was always biased towards that man.

Gradually, the invited noble ladies and young men from Dongxiang Capital arrived at Heyinlou. The whole first floor was bustling with people coming and going, but Shenshen had prepared in advance. The maids and servants arranged the guests in an orderly manner, with eight people sitting at a table. The tea on the table remained the same, but the snacks were something they had never seen before. In addition to the traditional bean paste and jujube paste cakes, Shenshen carefully prepared the osmanthus treasure clothes cake that Wei Dianyi praised. However, the shell of the cake today was replaced with hairpins, step-shaking, earrings and other jewelry.

At this time, a beautiful lady in gorgeous palace clothes came into the hall, followed by a group of eunuchs and maids. She was wearing a gorgeous brocade with exquisite embroidery, and a head of pearls and jade that only court concubines could wear. Her every move showed her nobility and grace, and her beauty was gentle.

As soon as the beautiful woman in palace dress came in, the faces of several royal relatives and ladies with titles all changed, because they had seen this beautiful woman at the palace banquet.

The emperor's concubine, Concubine Wu, one of the four concubines of Dongxiang Kingdom.

Zhu Yanxiao hurriedly pulled Shen Shenshen out of the hidden corridor and knelt down to pay his respects to everyone in the hall on the first floor.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine."

Concubine Wu was in a very good mood and said with a smile, "Everyone, get up." She then looked around at everyone and asked, "Who is Miss Shen II?"

When Shen Shen heard him being called, he just stood up and knelt down again: "Shen Shen from Anbohou Mansion greets the virtuous concubine."

"No need to be so polite, get up and come to me." Concubine Xian waved at her, and then said, "Ziyuan, you come too."

The two men stepped forward immediately.

Concubine Wu smiled at the two and said, "What a perfect couple! I am dazzled by their appearance. I heard that Second Miss Shen's Heyinlou opened today, and His Majesty was very curious, so he ordered me to come and join in the fun."

"Ziyuan doesn't deserve it. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Thank you for coming all the way from the palace today."

"When will the opening ceremony begin?" asked Concubine Wu.

"Your Majesty, it will officially begin at 3:30 pm." Shen Shenshen replied respectfully.

Concubine Wu nodded, "That's great. I'm also looking forward to today's grand opening ceremony."

At this time, a palace maid hurried over and whispered something in Concubine Wu's ear.
