There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 341 Birthday Arrival

Birthday? She didn't know either. She only knew that her modern birthday was the 27th day of the sixth lunar month, but she didn't know her birthday in this world.

It's over, what should she say?

"Yuying... this..."

Li Shuchen's deep thoughts were broken by a voice.

"Yuying is here too."

Gu Ziying entered the room, and Li Shuchen's eyebrows arched slightly.

"Ziying, you're here. Please have a seat."

Gu Ziying sat down with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

Liang Yuying: "We were talking about Shu Chen's birthday."

Gu Ziying smiled upon hearing this: "Shu Chen's birthday has already passed. Shu Chen never invites us to celebrate his birthday with him. I thought he didn't like it."

Li Shuchen smiled awkwardly upon hearing this: "I don't want to trouble you."

Gu Ziying: "No matter what, I've prepared your birthday gift. I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Liang Yuying: "After all this talk, what is Shu Chen's birthday?"

Gu Ziying: "June 27th, that date is just like Shu Chen's personality, possessing both the warmth of spring and the intensity of summer."

Li Shuchen was shocked to hear this. Her birthday was exactly the same as hers in the modern world. Could it be that her soul had separated and entered two worlds at the same time?

Liang Yuying: "It was originally June 27th. I should have asked Shu Chen earlier. It's my fault."

Li Shuchen quickly waved his hand and said, "It was my own fault for not saying so, it's not your fault."

"What are you two talking about that makes you so happy?"

Princess Changning crossed her arms and strode over to sit down.

Gu Ziying: "Shu Chen's birthday"

Princess Changning looked at Li Shuchen with a wronged expression: "Li Shuchen, aren't we good friends? Why does Ziying know your birthday but I don't? We've known each other for two years, and you never told me."

Li Shuchen: "It hasn't been two years, it's clearly only been a year and a half."

Princess Changning: "I don't care, I need to know your birthday!"

Li Shuchen: June 27th

"So this is Shu Chen's birthday."

Ye Bingli moved gracefully to sit at the table: "I was thinking of a way to find out Shu Chen's birthday, but I didn't expect Shu Chen to tell me himself."

Li Shuchen scratched his head, not answering: "Just ask directly, why try to trick me?"

Ye Bingli: "A young lady's birthday is a taboo subject. If you don't bring it up first, directly asking about it will annoy people."

Li Shuchen was confused and greatly shocked: "How strange!"

Gu Ziying: "This is the custom in the Purple Star Dynasty, there's nothing strange about it."

Liang Yuying: "The more people know one's birth date, the more unfortunate one becomes, so... naturally, I don't believe in these things."

Li Shuchen frowned upon hearing this: "So even good friends have to be careful about what they say about celebrating a birthday? Our girls are so pitiful."

Princess Changning: "Yes, only girls born into wealthy families don't have to worry about these things. Ordinary people can't just say whatever they want."

Li Shuchen slammed his hand on the table in anger: "I think it's all nonsense. They just don't want our daughters to have many good friends, they want to confine us to our social circle, and they want us to stay at home obediently, be good wives and mothers, and revolve around our families all day long. That's why they have such fallacies!"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

Ye Bingli: "Shu Chen's words make sense, but fortunately, none of us believe in these things."

Li Shuchen crossed her arms: "Hmph, if we don't celebrate birthdays, there's no reason for sisters to get together. We'll celebrate, and I'll celebrate every birthday from now on."

Not only will I celebrate, I'll make it a grand affair, so everyone in the capital will know it's my birthday. You all should tell me your birthdays, and I'll celebrate it for you too.

"Good"*4

The group exchanged birthdays, which Li Shuchen noted down one by one. After finishing, he looked up and asked...

What do you want from me?

Gu Ziying: "Is it true that Shu Chen and Cheng Jieyuan went to Swan Lake together today?"

Princess Changning: "Did Cheng Jieyuan trick you into going? If he did, I'll definitely have someone beat him up."

Ye Bingli: "In my opinion, Shu Chen is the one acting."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen excitedly said, "You guessed it right, Bingli. I was just acting. How did you know?"

Ye Bingli: "These days, there are so many matchmakers trying to find a spouse for Cheng Jieyuan. I'm afraid Cheng Jieyuan is annoyed and that's why he asked Shu Chen for help. I just wonder if Cheng Jieyuan has any other motives?"

Li Shuchen: "I've talked to him about it. We'll pretend to be a couple and hang out for a few days. Once everyone knows, we won't have to act anymore. You two absolutely mustn't tell anyone."

Everyone nodded

Gu Ziying: "Since that's the case, I have nothing else to do, so I'll head back now."

Princess Changning: "I'm fine now. Li Shuchen, if you have a man you like, you must tell me. I'll help you choose."

Li Shuchen: "Understood"

Princess Changning: "Then I'll go back too."

Ye Bingli: Goodbye, Shu Chen

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Li Shuchen saw off the three girls, leaving only Liang Yuying.

"Yuying, it's getting dark, you should go back too."

Liang Yuying looked intently at Li Shuchen: "Next time, Shuchen, could you please tell me in advance if you have any plans? Otherwise, I'm very worried."

Li Shuchen nodded: "I'll tell you if there's time. This decision was made suddenly."

Liang Yuying: "Okay, then I'm leaving."

Li Shuchen: Be careful on the road.

After seeing the young ladies off, Li Shuchen collapsed onto the chaise longue. What a busy day she'd had!

"Miss, Grape will help you change."

"No, go fetch some hot water, I want to take a bath."

"Yes, miss"

a quarter of an hour later

Li Shuchen sat comfortably in the bathtub, sighing contentedly.

Grape poured hot water on Li Shuchen and wiped his body.

"Miss"

"you say"

Grape: "Xiao Feng wants to marry Yu'er. He begs Miss to arrange the marriage for him. He has already chosen a wedding date."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen immediately opened his eyes: "What? The wedding date has already been set, why didn't anyone tell me?"

Grape: "Miss has been too busy lately; no one dares to disturb her."

Li Shuchen: "So, what's the wedding date?"

Grape: "The 28th of this month"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen felt a little relieved: "Fortunately, there's still time to prepare the dowry. Yu'er and Xiaofeng are deeply in love; they should have been together long ago."

Grape: "Miss is preparing a dowry for Yu'er?"

Li Shuchen: "Of course, Yu'er is mine. When she gets married, I will naturally prepare a dowry for her."

Grape smiled and said, "I'm glad Yu'er knows a little."

Li Shuchen: "I'll be happy if Yu'er can live a happy life."

"Grapes are happy, and all the staff at Happiness Inn are happy."

After taking a bath, Li Shuchen turned off the lights and lay on the bed to check the progress of the inn's missions.

The floral essential oils are now completely sold out; they must have made a considerable profit.

[Profit value ≥ 2 silver]

Li Shuchen counted the silver and immediately sat up. Eight months had passed, and he still hadn't earned half of it.

This earning speed is a bit slow.

The rose essential oil sold very well; it should have earned her a profit of nearly two hundred thousand taels of silver.

It seems she needs to hurry and plant another batch of flowers, otherwise she won't be able to complete the task.

"Little Jizi, help me buy some flower seeds, suitable for planting in September. Buy enough for 100 acres. Also, buy ten wisteria saplings and put them indoors. Be quiet and don't wake the grapevines."
