Chapter 317: What does Versailles Speak Mean?

After settling the shop, Ji Zhao began to design and renovate.

She locked herself at home for two days and two nights before finally drawing the design of the shop.

“Tad”

She handed the design to Shen Yao as if she was presenting a treasure. Ji Zhao raised her eyebrows smugly. “Quick, take a look at my design. It will definitely

Impress you-I'

Shen Yao put down the book in his hand and looked at it seriously for a while.

Although the process was a little difficult, he still understood the blueprint.

“Are you planning to change the second floor of the shop into private rooms?

What about the first floor? What are these strange marks?” Shen Yao pointed at the thick dot on the blueprint and asked curiously.

“This is the entry point. Look, there are dots on the side. I plan to build a koi pond. Only live water can invite money! I don't plan to use the first floor for guests. These four rooms are the four themes of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.'

“Look, I'll set up a winding staircase above this location. The second floor is the four rooms used to entertain guests. There are four private rooms, named zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They are independent from each other and don't interfere with each other.'

'What's Zhaozhao's intention in designing this?” Shen Yao asked curiously.

“In the beginning, I wanted to open an ordinary small restaurant, but after talking to Shopkeeper Qian, I realized that every restaurant in the prefecture capital has their own characteristics. For example, Tianxiang Restaurant is luxurious enough, and Gaosheng Restaurant has a deep meaning. I started to think about who my Spring Breeze Pavilion targets. Later, I thought of those madams and young ladies from wealthy families who don't leave their houses.”

“The Spring Breeze Pavilion is designed for this group of people. The highlight is that it's low-key and luxurious. It's elegant with a hint of mystery. Most importantly, the dishes in the Spring Breeze Pavilion are unique!” “To put it simply, it's a high-end custom-made luxury meal!”

Listening to her enthusiastic introduction, Shen Yao was at a loss.

Although he did not quite understand what high-end custom-made meant, he felt that his wife's culinary skills were indeed unparalleled.

After Ji Zhao finalized the renovation plan for the Spring Breeze Pavilion, she immediately chose an auspicious day to start construction.

Looking at the silver in her hand flowing out like water, Ji Zhao's heart ached. “It's only when you need money that you regret not having enough!”

“If Ah Tao is short of money, why don't you let me invest?” Qin Minghong, who was playing Go with Shen Yao, quickly raised his head and suggested, “Coincidentally, I still have some spare money on hand. It's not much, only about 800 taels.”

“Brother Qin, can you stop the Versailles speak?” Ji Zhao rolled her eyes at him.

'What does Versailles speakO mean? '

“It means to show off.” As Shen Yao placed another stone, the outcome was obvious.

Qin Minghong waved the folding fan in his hand in frustration and said, “How boring, I don't want to play anymore!'

He had lost three rounds in a row. If he continued to lose, where would he put his face?

“Brother Qin, why do you have to do this?” Ji Zhao rested her chin on her hands and said gloatingly, “You know that you're not my Shen Yao's match. Why do you have to torture yourself?”

Qin Minghong drank three cups of herbal tea in a row to calm his anger. “Ah

Tao, when do you plan to open your Spring Breeze Pavilion?”

“No hurry, no hurry,” Ji Zhao said with a smile. “When the time is right, it will naturally open!”

Qin Minghong felt that he had asked for nothing. Then, his gaze landed on Shen Yao's face. “The rankings will be revealed tomorrow. How are you feeling?”

“Nothing,” Shen Yao said calmly.

“So you're not nervous at all?”

“The die is cast. Nervousness won't change the outcome, will it?”

Qin Minghong nodded silently in agreement.

“I heard from my father that the questions for this year's provincial imperial examination are especially tricky.” Before Qin Minghong left, he looked at Shen Yao and said, “I wish you good luck.”

“Thank you.”

On the fifth day of the ninth month, on the day of the release of the provincial imperial examination results.

Before dawn, there were already many examinees gathered outside the examination venue.

Ji Zhao tilted her head to look at Shen Yao beside her and quietly held his palm.

Shen Yao looked at her and smiled back.

Halfway through the morning, the door of the examination venue was slowly opened.

After a while, the honor roll was pasted on the white high wall.

Those examinees were like carps crossing the river. They all squeezed forward to take a look

Those who saw their names were extremely excited and shouted excitedly.

There were also people with disappointed expressions who shed tears of sadness.

Ji Zhao tiptoed to see the name list on the list, but there were too many people. She could not squeeze in at all.

“Zhaozhao.” She smiled when Shen Yao pulled her into his arms. “You won.”

An hour later, as she listened to the gongs and drums outside and looked at the good news in her hand, Ji Zhao felt a little dazed.

Although she had long expected Shen Yao would be ranked, she never expected him to be first!

“Are you so happy that you've gone silly?” Shen Yao looked at her stunned expression and smiled helplessly. He tapped the tip of her nose dotingly. “I'm not silly!” Ji Zhao, who had regained her senses, deliberately made a face at him. “I just didn't expect you to be the Jieyuan!'

“Is Zhaozhao happy?'

“Of course!” Ji Zhao laughed and snuggled into his arms. She placed her hands on his strong shoulders and smiled brightly. “My husband is too awesome!'

“Then, is there a reward?” Shen Yao lowered his head and leaned close to her forehead, asking softly.

'What reward do you want?” Ji Zhao asked instead of answering.

“Of course…”

Crack! Crack!

Before Shen Yao could finish speaking, another firecracker sounded outside the courtyard!

Qin Minghong hired a team of lion dancers to come to Ji Zhao's courtyard door and begin the lion dance performance!

“Isn't this lineup a little exaggerated?” Looking at the scene outside the courtyard, Shen Yao held his forehead helplessly.

“Exaggerated?” Ji Zhao shook her head silently. “I don't think so. Actually, there are even more exaggerated ones. '

“Mm?”

It was not until Zhao Lanhua came to Shen Yao with a loud voice that he understood what Ji Zhao meant by even more exaggerated.

“Third Brother, you're finally successful. Boohoo, Mother is so happy!”

“Mother.” Shen Yao's eyes could not help but turn red. “I've made you worry.”

The news of Shen Yao getting first place in the provincial imperial examination instantly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the prefecture!

Zhao Lanhua and Shen Dashan were also overjoyed. They planned to hold a grand banquet to invite their good friends when they returned to Shanghe

Village.

“Mother, since you've all come to the prefecture capital, you should take a good look around the prefecture capital!” Ji Zhao intimately held Zhao Lanhua's arm and suggested with a smile.

“That won't do.” Zhao Lanhua smiled and shook her head. She patted the back of Ji Zhao's hand and said softly, 'There are still two little monkeys at home. Your father and I can be free these few days because your second brother is on leave for a few days. We still have to rush back in two days.”

“But Ah Tao, I think you've lost a lot of weight.” Zhao Lanhua pinched her face with heartache. “Have you been too tired recently?”

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
