Chapter 145 Finale
The first taste is always addictive.

So much so that when Chen Zhi got up the next day, Xu Shuhe was unable to get up with him.

At the government office, the new official had to report to his post, so Chen Zhi couldn’t stay in bed. Xu Shuhe was still more free, so it didn’t matter if he didn’t go to the store for a few days.

So when I woke up, it was already noon.

“Madam has slept too long today. If you don’t get up, I will come in and call you. Breakfast is useless, and lunch cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise it will hurt your spleen and stomach.” Xinyue muttered.

Now that Chen Zhi is an official, and their family has been independent for a long time, calling them Young Master or Young Madam would seem inadequate, so Zheng brought it up at the celebration banquet yesterday.

From now on, they should call each other Master and Madam. Xu Shuhe felt that Master did not sound good, so he asked his subordinates to call Chen Zhi Master and Zheng to call Madam.

At this moment, Xu Shuhe stood up and listened to Xinyue’s nagging, and said silently in his heart, I did a lot of exercise last night, how can I not sleep in for a while.

Just after she finished washing up, Meixiang came in and said that the lady invited her to have lunch together.

Xu Shuhe nodded in agreement.

It’s boring to eat alone. Anyway, I’m not going to the restaurant today, so I might as well stay at home and accompany my mother for a day.

When she arrived at Zheng’s place, the mother and daughter started chatting, and Xu Shuhe vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

From what Zheng said, it seemed that he was trying to find out what happened last night.

But how could she tell others about such a secret? Even though Xu Shuhe prided herself on being thick-skinned, her face turned slightly red under Zheng’s repeated questioning.

Seeing this, Zheng felt happy, thinking that the pills would definitely be useful for conditioning.

Therefore, during the meal, he reminded Xu Shuhe to make sure Chen Zhi eat the meatballs on time to keep his body in good shape.

I was busy filling my stomach at that time and didn’t realize anything was wrong. But after I returned to the room, I thought about it carefully and realized that there was a problem.

A nourishing pill, after taking this pill, Chen Zhidu had a nosebleed yesterday. In addition, given what happened yesterday, even though he drank, he was not drunk, and the two of them got along normally. Although they were almost at the point of breaking the window paper, they were not that moved.

After thinking about it, Xu Shuhe immediately asked Xinyue to quietly take the pill out and ask a doctor to take a closer look at what it was.

Not long after, Xinyue came back with a red face.

After hesitating and explaining for a long time, Xu Shuhe finally understood that this thing can make a man more masculine.

I couldn’t help but hold my forehead.

She is such a good mother to her. She cares so much about her.

But you must not let Chen Zhi continue to eat it.

But Xu Shuhe didn’t expect that sometimes these external factors are not necessary. Wolves that have been thinking about eating meat for a long time are naturally fierce.

I can’t feed them enough. I can’t feed them enough at all.

But I am tired and happy.

In addition to the progress between the two, their respective careers are also going smoothly.

The Yunshang Pavilion branch has established a firm foothold in the capital. Today, due to its unique style and design, it is considered to be one of a kind and no one can imitate it. It has the potential to become a trend-setting store among the noble ladies in the capital.

After Chen Zhi officially took up the post of Chief Craftsman of the Ministry of Works, he soon gained some real power due to the support of the Fifth Prince. Now he is just waiting for a good opportunity to make meritorious service. If he seizes it, he will be promoted.

Of course, in front of the Fifth Prince, because of the matter of introducing the Taoist alchemist, his weight was much heavier. Although his official position was lower, he had a lot of say.

But Xu Shuhe also deserves credit for this.

After all, they were a couple, Chen Zhi served in the court, Xu Shu and Yu Ping filled the Fifth Prince’s purse. Both contributed.

Since the death of the Sixth Prince, the Crown Prince’s health has not yet fully recovered, and the Emperor has become obsessed with alchemy. In the court, the Fifth Prince has gradually begun to emerge and has gained control of some real power.

However, even so, he still bowed his head in front of the prince and the Jiang family, and acted like a subject who did everything for the prince. This not only did not arouse the other party’s suspicion, but also made the prince rely on him.

After all, sometimes the Jiang family, as ministers, have many words and many things that are inconvenient to act in front of the emperor, but the fifth prince is different. It will be more convenient for him to act and he can speak for the prince.

Now it seems that there is harmony in the court.

There was no fight for the throne, and all of the Sixth Prince’s followers were eliminated. The father was kind and the son was filial, the brothers were friendly and the younger brother was respectful, and there was harmony between the upper and lower classes.

Even in the harem, the queen took the initiative to promote the fifth prince’s adoptive mother, Concubine Wen, to the position of concubine, and also advised the emperor that the fifth prince was grown up and should be granted a title.

In this way, the fifth prince was given the title of Prince Dun, which means honesty, and Concubine Wen became Imperial Concubine Wen.

To outsiders, the mother and son seemed to be just like their titles, easy to control like dough.

In just a few months, the court has undergone tremendous changes. It seems that the prince is the only one in power and everything is a foregone conclusion. But somehow, one always feels that there are storms hidden beneath this calm.

But no matter what, the first Spring Festival after moving to the capital city finally arrived as scheduled.

Originally, the Zhou family was worried that Chen Zhi’s family would be lonely with few people at home, so they wanted to invite them to have a reunion dinner together. However, Chen Zhi said that it would be better to spend the first New Year at home, and to add some liveliness to the family, so why not have the Zhou family come to their place for a reunion dinner.

Old Mrs. Zhou had always loved her grandson Chen Zhi, but they hadn’t been close to each other for many years. Now that they were willing to get close to each other, she was naturally happy, so she decided to agree to this matter. This year’s New Year’s celebration would be taken care of by Xu Shu and her grandson’s wife, and they just had to eat, drink and have fun.

Therefore, the houses in Yuanbao Lane were more lively than ever before.

The two cousins’ children were all young, chasing and playing in the yard with laughter. The boys were more naughty and picked up bamboo poles to pick up firecrackers, setting them off while running. The girls covered their ears and watched with laughter. Some of the brave ones clamored for their brothers to take them to set off firecrackers together.

The women in the family had nothing to do, so Zheng suggested that they take out red paper and cut window decorations.

Zheng was in a good mood and rolled up her sleeves to cook two side dishes herself. Seeing this, Lin Hui followed her.

Everyone just smiled and said they were in for a treat.

The men were not idle either. They were drinking tea and playing chess. Suddenly, they heard Chen Zhi reciting a few poems that suited the occasion. The two cousins ​​then started to urge Chen Zhi to write Spring Festival couplets.

It is just that the new house should be designed by him, the male owner himself.

Unable to persuade them, Chen Zhi had to write down a few.

As he watched the servants pasting the characters, he felt that the wall was too empty. He was moved and called Xu Shuhe over and wrote a dozen copies with him.

People just joked that since the couple were of one mind and wrote together, this word “Fu” must be full of luck, and the coming year will be more prosperous.

“Master, Madam, the word ‘Fu’ on the gate has not been posted yet. Why don’t you two go and put it up yourselves?” Meixiang said with a smile.

Chen Zhi smiled, “Okay.”

After saying this, he took Xu Shuhe’s hand and went to the gate of the house.

Together they pasted the word “Fu” on the door, and then they smiled at each other.

As we bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, we only hope that the coming year will be as prosperous and full of blessings as this word “Fu”.

The road ahead is still long, and we have to move forward slowly and steadily step by step.

Due to some reasons, this book will come to an end for now. I was a little rushed when I started writing due to personal reasons, and I stopped updating for a long time. The story is not complete. You can think of this as the first half. If there is a chance in the future, I should write the second half. I would like to bow to all the book friends here and say sorry. I hope you can forgive me.

There should be a new book next. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it.
