Chapter 207 Fuxilou
Two months ago, in mid-August, Shen Li celebrated her ninth birthday.
It is now November. During these few months, the Shen family has been like a giant ship sailing through the waves of fate, undergoing earth-shaking changes and vigorous development.
The first major event was that Shen Li's aunt Shen Shaoxue got married to Bai Jin.
The grand scene of the wedding that day was like a magnificent scroll slowly unfolding in the world, and the lively atmosphere seemed to ignite the entire world.
The endless procession of 32 bearers of dowry was like a giant dragon covered in gold and colorful ribbons, majestically shuttling through the streets and alleys. Wherever it passed, people came like a tide, and the sounds of exclamations and discussions intertwined into one, echoing for a long time.
This dowry team has since become a legendary story that people in the villages around the county town have passed down from mouth to mouth and never tire of talking about. In their spare time, the villagers sit under the trees at the entrance of the village, excitedly describing the luxurious and dazzling dowry scene, their eyes full of longing and yearning for this glory and wealth.
When talking about this eye-catching dowry, we have to focus on the Fuxi Building, which has risen like a shining pearl under Shen Li's name.
Fuxi Building, a building that has passed through the business world like a comet in a short period of time, has become a dream place that many socialites and ladies dream of.
Stepping into Fuxilou is like stepping into a magical palace filled with rare treasures from all over the world, and a wonderful journey that shocks the senses begins.
The exterior of Fuxi Building features flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings. The vermilion gate is solemn yet elegant. A gold-plated plaque hangs on the lintel. The three large characters "Fuxi Building" are vigorous and powerful, shining brightly in the sunlight.
When you enter the building, the first thing that catches your eye is the spacious and bright lobby. The floor is paved with mirror-smooth marble. Each piece of marble has a unique texture, as if it were a painting carefully painted by nature.
The dome of the hall is extremely high, painted with exquisite caisson patterns in colorful colors, with gold, red and blue as the main colors, intertwined and entwined to form a magnificent scene of the heavenly palace. People can't help but look up and gaze, as if they are in a magnificent palace under the vast starry sky.
Around the hall, rows of antique shelves are neatly arranged. The shelves are all made of high-quality sandalwood and emit a faint wood fragrance.
The color of sandalwood is warm and mellow, and the texture is as delicate as silk, as if telling the story of time.
The shelves are filled with all kinds of merchandise, each carefully displayed like a treasure waiting to be discovered.
The clothing area is spacious and rich in layers. Hanging on the walls are exquisite silk scrolls depicting ancient clothing styles and fashion trends, which contrast with modern clothing, creating a unique charm.
There are several round display stands in the middle, which are made of transparent glass and sparkle charmingly under the light.
On the show stand, models dressed in the latest fashions, posing gracefully, showcased the charm of the clothes to the fullest.
The surrounding racks were filled with clothes of all styles, from gorgeous brocade dresses to simple cotton clothes.
The material of the clothes is soft and comfortable, and warm to the touch. Every detail is handled extremely delicately, whether it is the embroidery on the neckline or the lace on the cuffs, they all demonstrate ingenuity.
The jewelry hairpin and ring counter is like a small jewelry museum. The background wall of the counter is made of black velvet, which forms a sharp contrast with the dazzling jewelry, further highlighting the dazzling brilliance of the jewelry.
The counter is filled with exquisite glass display cases, in which the jewellery is classified and displayed according to type and style.
The gold hairpins and jade bracelets emit a charming halo under the refraction of light, the diamond gems sparkle with dazzling light, and the pearl necklace is warm and elegant. Each piece of jewelry is like a work of art, quietly telling its own story.
The beauty area is full of modern fashion. The white marble countertop is simple and elegant, and various exquisite beauty products are placed on it.
The mirror adopts a frameless design, and the frame is inlaid with silver metal strips, which looks particularly exquisite.
The mirror is surrounded by a circle of bright lights. The light is soft and not dazzling, which can clearly reflect people's faces, allowing every customer to see the most perfect effect when trying beauty products.
Upon entering the fruit section, the first thing that strikes your eye is a refreshing and refreshing scene. The space is spacious and bright, with rows of soft yet bright lights hanging from the ceiling, pouring down like brilliant starlight, illuminating every corner without reservation. The marble floor is mirror-like, reflecting the surrounding dazzling array of fruit shelves, adding to the neatness and orderliness.
The fruit stand is made of solid wood with a light woody fragrance. It is sturdy and rustic, complementing the vitality of fresh fruit. The shelf has been wiped spotlessly clean and has a warm luster under the light.
In the tropical fruit area, the durian is like a king covered with thorns. It is huge in size, and the sharp thorns on the shell flash coldly under the light.
But once it is opened, the rich and mellow flesh is revealed. The golden color exudes an attractive luster, and the unique aroma fills the air. It is strong and highly recognizable, making those who love it salivate. It is as if they are in a durian orchard in Southeast Asia, feeling the unique tropical atmosphere.
The mangoes are like gold nuggets kissed by the sun. They are huge in size, and the skin has an attractive golden luster. The rich fruity aroma carries the passion and unrestrainedness of the tropical island, as if telling a story of sunshine near the equator.
In the subtropical fruit area, cherries are like sparkling rubies, hanging delicately on the branches, and their appearance is replicated on the fruit stalls.
They are clustered together, with bright colors and smooth and delicate skin, shining with a charming halo under the light. Take a bite, and the sweet and sour juice will instantly spread in your mouth. The wonderful taste is like a symphony for your taste buds.
Sugarcane is like a straight green bamboo, slender and upright. The sugarcane skin is green with purple, exuding a fresh scent. The nodes are closely connected, as if telling of its toughness during growth. Use a knife to peel off the skin to reveal the tender and juicy sugarcane flesh inside. Take a bite, and the sweet sugarcane juice will flow out like a trickle. The pure sweetness flows on the tip of the tongue, bringing full natural vitality.
The temperate fruit zone is equally impressive. The peach's rosy cheeks resemble a shy young girl, softly covered with fuzz, like a layer of gauze. A gentle sniff of the sweet peach fragrance instantly fills the heart, transporting you to a peach orchard in full bloom.
Pears are like round gourds, with light freckles on the yellow skin. When you bite them, the juice overflows and the sweet taste spreads on the tip of your tongue, as if they are sweet juice bombs gifted by nature.
There is also the kiwi fruit, whose furry skin looks like the fur of a little monkey, and whose emerald green flesh is embedded with small black seeds. It is rich in vitamins and tastes sweet and sour, equating health with deliciousness.
The entire fruit area is filled with rich and refreshing fruity aroma, which is the symphony of life played by fresh fruits, attracting every passing customer to stop and immerse themselves in this wonderful world of fruit.
According to the servant at Fuxi Tower, most of these fruits are grown on the fruit trees in Fuxi County Master's farm, and some are from overseas.
The items included in Fuxilou are like an all-encompassing picture of life, from the basic necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation to those novelties that will brighten your eyes and make your heart flutter, such as the adorable and cute Bugs Bunny doll, which seems to bring the spirit and playfulness of the forest;
The Popeye doll, full of power and justice, seems to be able to give people endless courage and strength;
There is also the charming, enchanting and amorous Su Daji fox doll, which seems to be able to bring people into an ancient and mysterious mythological world.
In this small world, all things in the world come together, satisfying all people's fantasies and aspirations for a better life.
Because of this, in just two months, Fuxilou, like a dazzling star that suddenly rose in the commercial night sky, went from obscurity to fame, becoming a place of yearning in the hearts of people in several surrounding counties and even further away. Its reputation, like a strong east wind, passed through mountains, rivers and lakes, and slowly spread to the prosperous and bustling center of the capital.
Shen Shaoxue's enviable and generous dowry was precisely due to the fruitful results of the flourishing business giant Fuxilou.
The various items that were continuously sent to the capital from afar and finally presented to the emperor often made the ministers marvel and marvel.
Among them are wines from foreign countries, the wine rippling in exquisite containers, as if carrying the exotic customs and mysteries;
There are also exquisite glass cups, whose transparent texture and gorgeous colors reflect dazzling brilliance under the sunlight;
There is also the magical solar lamp, which was undoubtedly beyond imagination in the eyes of people at that time.
Every once in a while, the emperor would show off these strange and unusual gifts presented by Princess Fuxi to his ministers in the court or in the palace with great interest.
When the ministers saw this situation, although they were filled with envy and jealousy, they did not dare to complain at all. They could only swallow their emotions silently. When they returned home, they either sighed alone or mentioned it vaguely to their families, feeling a sense of emotion.
The emperor had officially handed over the weapons of Zhao Lin and the other six people to Shen Li, ordering them to protect Princess Fuxi.
Several people followed the order and secretly contacted Shen Li, secretly telling her their identities as royal spies and the fact that they had come to protect the Shen family.
No one knows what new chapter their fate will open from now on, leaving only endless imagination and suspense quietly spreading in the changing situation of the court and the aristocratic family.
The emperor's rewards and praises were also continuously passed on to the Shen family, and the Shen family became the most powerful family for a time.
