There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 306 Only belongs to you

Li Shuchen: "Eighth and Ninth Brothers, you two are in charge of the assessment."

"Yes, miss." *2

As soon as Li Shuchen turned around, he was greeted by a young woman.

"Miss, Ru'er and her brother are already familiar with the inn. When will they start working?"

Liu Ru stood in front of Li Shuchen and asked with a smile.

Li Shuchen looked at the beautiful woman with a rosy complexion and full of energy and smiled, "You look great. Has your injury fully healed?"

Liu Ru smiled and nodded: "Dr. Linglong's skills are miraculous; the scar has disappeared."

Li Shuchen: "That's good. Your life and your brother's life are very important. Don't get hurt. Let the eighth and ninth brothers teach you some massage techniques first. You'll be going to work in a couple of days."

Liu Ru smiled and said, "I will follow Miss's orders."

Li Shuchen walked to the counter: "Uncle Xu, could you please take a count of the body measurements of all the inn's staff and give it to me before closing time today?"

Shopkeeper Xu stroked his beard and chuckled, "I will certainly not fail Miss's expectations."

Li Shuchen turned and went upstairs, sat down at his desk, and began sketching clothes with his brush.

That's right, she's started designing clothes again. If Happiness Inn is to reach new heights, the clothing naturally needs to be upgraded as well.

The color of the clothes was almost identical to the colors the shop assistants usually wore; the only difference was the design.

The girl's dress had fresh flowers embroidered on the collar.

The man's collar was adorned with green bamboo.

The cuffs are embroidered with the words "Happiness Inn," the belt matches the neckline pattern, and she plans to embroider the hem with subtle silver thread patterns, so that the entire establishment will gleam under the light.

The clothes were elegant and neat overall, yet cool and comfortable. Satisfied, Li Shuchen left his desk, munching on grapes while waiting for his size.

Grape: "Miss, the staff size statistics are ready. Manager Xu asked me to give them to you."

Li Shuchen: "Put it on the desk."

"Ok"

Grape placed the measurements on the desk and immediately noticed the clothing designs for the shop's staff on the blueprints. Each garment was labeled with the staff's name and color.

"The clothes designed by the young lady are really beautiful."

Hearing this, Li Shuchen turned around: "Do you want some grapes too? I'll design one for you later."

Grape shook her head: "No, Grape belongs to Miss, not to the Happiness Inn."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen laughed so hard that grape skins got stuck in his throat, and it took him a while to get them out.

"The grapes belong only to me, not to anyone else."

Grape replied earnestly, "No, grapes belong to Miss."

Li Shuchen was equally earnest: "You belong only to yourself."

Grape stood before Li Shuchen and said, word by word, "Grape belongs only to Miss."

The other person spoke firmly, and Li Shuchen was slightly taken aback. "Forget it," she thought, "I won't argue with Grape. She's stubborn."

"Alright, alright, the grapes belong only to me."

Grape beamed with joy upon hearing this.

The next morning, Li Shuchen returned from the Flower Garment Pavilion after delivering the clothing design, only to find several rows of unfamiliar faces standing at the entrance.

Lao Ba clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: "Miss, all the people have been summoned."

Li Shuchen looked up and saw that there were twenty girls and two boys among the twenty-two people.

It seems there are many girls who practice martial arts; it must be because Yu Ying's Mulan Army has such a great influence.

"Make them sign the contract"

Eighth Brother: "Yes, Miss."

After signing the agreement, Li Shuchen left two girls to replace Coco and Xiaoxiao, and led the others to Zhaohui Fruit Manor.

"Seventh Sister, Seventh Sister"

Seventh Sister: "Miss Li has arrived."

Seeing the familiar girls, Li Shuchen suddenly felt a pang of reluctance. Suppressing his emotions, he forced a smile and said, "You can return to the military camp today. Quickly pack your things and go back. Your Yingzhu has been waiting for you for a long time."

Caiyi stepped forward and hugged Li Shuchen: "Miss Li, I can't bear to part with you."

"We also can't bear to part with Miss Li."

Li Shuchen patted Caiyi on the shoulder: "I'll miss you all too."

As she spoke, the girl began wiping away tears.

Li Shuchen forced a smile and said, "It's not like we're never going to see each other again, so why are you crying? If you miss me, just tell your Yingzhu, and I'll bring you some good food."

"Mmm"*n

The girls went to pack their luggage

Li Shuchen went back to his room to count the money, took out nine hundred and eighty taels of silver, put it in his pocket, and went into Seventh Sister's room.

"Seventh Sister, you all worked hard at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. This is your reward for your hard work. It's not much, ten taels of silver each. Please give it to the girls for me when you return to the military camp."

Seventh Sister: "Okay"

Li Shuchen went out of the house to settle the newcomers, and then took Grape, Lao Ba, and Lao Jiu to Baihua Manor.

"Brother Zhao, is Huazhuang still safe these days?"

Zhao Tianchuan: "It's safe, no one's bothering us."

Li Shuchen nodded, relieved that no one was causing trouble for the flower shop. She needed to quickly process the fresh flowers into essential oils and floral waters to avoid any unforeseen complications.

"Tomorrow at dawn, have all the brothers get up and pick fresh flowers, starting with roses, leaving only one acre unpicked."

Zhao Tianchuan: "Yes, Miss Li."

Grandpa Lin walked up to Li Shuchen, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, and said, "Miss, there's a pot of purple-gold roses you forgot to take with you."

Li Shuchen tilted his head slightly: "Purple-gold rose? I really forgot, where is it?"

Grandpa Lin: "In the greenhouse"

"Come on, I'll go with you."

Li Shuchen arrived at the greenhouse, hugged the purple-gold roses to her chest, returned to her room, and placed the roses on the windowsill.

"Grape, bring me the money box."

"Coming, Miss."

Li Shuchen counted out 390 taels of silver, put 30 taels in his purse, and the rest in his money bag. He then went to find Zhao Tianchuan to divide the money.

"Brother Zhao, these next few days will be tough. The money in this purse is your bonus, ten taels of silver each."

Zhao Tianchuan accepted the gift with a fist and palm salute, saying, "I, Zhao, will certainly instruct my good brothers to do their work diligently."

Li Shuchen nodded and walked into the kitchen, where he saw Uncle Yuan sifting through the soot at the bottom of the pot, while steam rose from the stove.

"Uncle Yuan, busy cooking?"

Uncle Yuan glanced at Li Shuchen and smiled, "Li girl's here! I just made some pork and scallion dumplings, you can eat three big bowls of them later."

"it is good"

Li Shuchen took out ten taels of silver from his purse and placed it by the stove.

When Uncle Yuan saw the silver, he exclaimed "Oh!" and quickly reached out to hug it to his chest, looking at it with great delight: "Is Li girl giving me a bonus?"

Li Shuchen moved a small stool and sat down by the stove: "Uncle Yuan, you even know this?"

Uncle Yuan stuffed the silver into his pocket and said, "Erhu often tells me that he and his brothers have found a good employer. They have more money than they can spend, their monthly allowance is high, and they get bonuses from time to time. They can't refuse the bonuses, or they'll get angry."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen said smugly, "Erhu is right, I'm going to give Grandpa Lin his bonus."

Uncle Yuan laughed and said, "Go ahead, he's probably still in the greenhouse at this hour."

"Row"

Li Shuchen entered the greenhouse and saw Grandpa Lin observing the flowers, looking as focused as if he were counting money.

"Uncle Lin, I am deeply grateful for your cultivation of the Purple-Gold Rose. This twenty taels of silver is a reward for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Lin turned around and said, "No, no, I am already extremely grateful that Miss is giving me work to do. My monthly allowance is already more than enough, how could I possibly ask for a bonus?"

Li Shuchen stuffed the silver into Old Man Lin's hand: "Everyone else in the village has some, so you and Zhuzi can't be left out. I'll get angry if you refuse."

Grandpa Lin held the silver in his hand, tears welling up in his eyes.

This gave Li Shuchen a huge fright. Was her silver poison?

"Uncle Lin, what's wrong?"
