I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

Chu Mingzhu was surprised and smiled happily, "This is too expensive. I can't accept it."

She waved her hands, her eyes sparkled, and she rubbed them with her hands. She looked very cute.

Shen Lianxin found it funny and handed the thing to her maid.

"This set of skin care products is for the general's wife. Although it is different from the set for the queen, this set is also very precious and useful."

Chu Mingzhu nodded, unable to hide the smile on her face.

"Sister Shen, thank you so much! Your skin care products are very popular. I know that many ladies have reserved them but still can't get them. And this set of glass lamps is priceless at first glance."

The two chatted about family matters for a while. Chu Mingzhu then shyly said, "Sister Shen, I'm getting married."

Seeing that such a straightforward girl like Chu Mingzhu actually showed a shy expression, Shen Lianxin thought that she must be marrying the person she liked.

"Which young man is so lucky?"

"Ergua Guangbo, the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion."

"Oh? What kind of person is he? Is he the one you like?" Shen Lianxin had just arrived in Kyoto and didn't know much about the people and things in Kyoto.

Chu Mingzhu raised her head slightly, a blush on her face, "Master Guangbo is very generous, we met at a poetry meeting held in Shangshu Mansion some time ago. I followed my father to learn martial arts since I was a child, I am good at riding and shooting, naturally I am not good at poetry and painting. When I was about to make a fool of myself, it was Master Guangbo who saved me, and it was at that time that we fell in love with each other."

Chu Mingzhu's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, fearing that Shen Lianxin would laugh at her. "Mr. Guangbo said he liked my heroic spirit, which was different from that of ordinary girls in the boudoir. He, he said he admired me very much!"

Shen Lianxin laughed too. Looking at the look of this silly girl, she must have fallen in love.

This dynasty was very harsh on women, requiring them to follow the three obediences and four virtues, and to be obedient to their husbands and sons.

Many people cannot even decide their own marriage. They rely on the marriage being of equal status, the parents’ decision, and the matchmaker’s words.

Chu Mingzhu's family was a military family, so it was reasonable to marry into the Shangshu Mansion. However, since ancient times, it was difficult for civil officials to marry military officials, mainly because most civil officials looked down on the rude and informal military families.

Just like Chu Mingzhu, although she was a good lady from a noble family, the wife of the Shangshu Mansion still looked down on her, thinking that she was vulgar, did not know the rules, and could not manage the household.

Shen Lianxin sincerely wished her well, "Mingzhu, congratulations. You will definitely be happy if you can marry your lover!"

"Thank you!" Chu Mingzhu didn't have many friends in the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto. Most of them were daughters of military commanders. Many of them followed their fathers to guard a place and left Kyoto. Those noble ladies thought she was rude, spoke without thinking, and was not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They didn't take her with them when they played. She was too lazy to pay attention to them.

It was not until Shen Lianxin came that she made a friend with whom she could talk.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Chu Mingzhu left.

Although Gu Dingbei had made great achievements, the emperor's obvious fear and targeting of the Gu family still made Gu Dingbei's life in dire straits in Kyoto.

Each family took a wait-and-see attitude, and no one was willing to take the initiative to make friends with the Dingbei General's Mansion, fearing that the emperor would make trouble one day, and the Gu family would fall and suffer. Of course, no one dared to offend them. The Zhenbei Palace was famous, had great achievements, and had the support of the Zhenbei Army. It was a person who had the strength to compete with the royal family. Who would dare to be an enemy of the Gu family?

As a result, there were few visitors to General Dingbei's mansion, and Shen Lianxin was happy to be free. Gu Dingbei finally had some free time after so many years, and lived a rare leisurely life.

Gu Dingbei and Shen Lianxin enjoyed this kind of time, but Princess Chaoyang had been the apple of everyone's eye since she was a child, and she felt uneasy when she was suddenly neglected.

So they always attended various banquets and poetry and singing parties of noble ladies in Kyoto. They did not dare to have close contact with General Dingbei's mansion, nor did they dare to offend Princess Chaoyang. Therefore, every time the princess appeared, everyone flattered her and then found an excuse to leave.

Princess Chaoyang felt that the reputation of General Dingbei's family depended on her. She was secretly proud of herself, and when she saw Shen Lianxin, she raised her head even higher.

Shen Lianxin took advantage of this time to buy a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing. She built a warehouse with a high gate and a three-meter-high wall. Gu Dingbei funded her a team of Dingbei soldiers to help her guard. The whole courtyard was surrounded by water and was filled with Shen Lianxin's goods.

Some glass products, gold and silver jewelry, various hairpins and rings, and some rouge and powder, of course, all of which were purchased from the Space Mall. Each of them can be said to be a highly profitable commodity. Looking at these things, Shen Lianxin felt like she was looking at countless money going into her pocket.

In one month, the three major stores were completely renovated. Baizhi and Yunniang came to Kyoto to train Manager Tan on how to run a barbecue restaurant.

Shen Lianxin also called several maids in the mansion to learn about the effects, ingredients, and skin types of various skin care products every day. She also hired scholars to copy the product descriptions according to the model of this dynasty and hung them in Yueyan Pavilion. The corresponding products were placed below, so that even if no one introduced them, the ladies could read the descriptions themselves.

Of course, personnel training is still very important, and we are doing this in a vigorous manner.

The ladies in the palace saw that the queen's skin condition was getting better and better. After asking around, they found out that it was because she was using the skin care set given by Shen Lianxin. They all sent people to get the skin care set at a large price.

Shen Lianxin made a fortune, and before Yueyan Pavilion even opened, she had already made a name for herself among the wealthy ladies in Kyoto.

The three shopkeepers were all very energetic and motivated. They competed with each other and did not want to fall behind.

The three stores opened almost at the same time. They were packed on the first day of opening!! Shen Lianxin expected the popularity of Shen's BBQ and Yueyan Pavilion, but she did not expect the popularity of Zhenbao Pavilion. Most of the items sold in Zhenbao Pavilion were novelties that were not available in this dynasty or were overwhelmed by technological products.

Many young men have a curiosity. Even a small lighter, which cost only one tael of silver in this dynasty, sold 5 orders a day. Not to mention other treasures and ornaments! Hairpins and rings.

The sales on this day were more than the previous year, and several shopkeepers were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. Shen Lianxin even counted the money until her hands cramped.

The initial investment was quickly paid back, a very profitable business! ! The feeling of owning a mountain of gold and silver made Shen Lianxin feel like she was floating in the sky.

After two months of good times, war reports came from the northern border. The Hu people were still determined to do evil and launched a large-scale attack again!

The four great generals of the Zhenbei Army came out together, and the entire army was on alert. Dingzhou once again entered the first level of alert!

Gu Dingbei was worried! The weather was getting warmer and spring was coming, but it was also the time when there was a shortage of food. The Zhenbei Army had run out of food.

Gu Dingbei went to court every day to ask for food and grass for the Zhenbei Army! ! Every emperor sighed helplessly, and the intention to send Gu Dingbei away should not be too obvious. The ministers in the court shook their heads and sighed.

If the Zhenbei Army really collapsed, the Hu people were so ferocious, who in the current dynasty could stop them?
