Chapter 157 Jiuyue is confident
"Because there are so many people, the first thing we see is the clothes." Xiao Jiuyue said: "If there were more people and the clothes were more uniform, it would be more shocking."
"Grandma, the piano music is good, but if there are too many people, the music will not be conspicuous enough. I plan to ask someone to play drums." Xiao Jiuyue thought of some drum music, songs with a strong sense of rhythm. As long as they are coordinated well, the effect will be achieved.
"How can we cooperate with this?" Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Jiuyue and asked.
Xiao Jiuyue's eyes sparkled with confidence as she said, "Grandma, I asked Shi Lizheng, and he said there's someone in the village who can play the drums. I was thinking since the opening is still a few days away, we could give it a try."
Old Madam Xiao nodded slightly.
Xiao Jiuyue said: "Grandma, I'm afraid that the constant drumming will disturb you, so I want them to go to the workshop." Anyway, the canned bayberries haven't been made yet.
"No need, we should stay in the Xiao family. We must keep a close eye on those clothes." Old Madam Xiao reminded.
Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Don't worry, Grandma. I will let them change into clothes when we officially leave."
The next morning, the Xiao family was filled with the sound of drums.
"Oh, what's the good news for the Xiao family?" Guo Sheng was dozing off. He had just showered and changed clothes after a night of vigil the previous night, and as he lay down on the bed, he was startled by the sound of the drums and ran out in a hurry: "Third Master, is there something wrong?"
"Go to sleep." Jun Lie glanced at him. Lian Xin came over to say hello early this morning. The Xiao family was going to play drums and music today, so it would be a bit noisy.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The sound of drums came in waves, and Guo Sheng felt that the sound of drums was louder than thunder. He felt his ears buzzing. Who could sleep after hearing this sound?
"Third Master, I'm going to see what's going on." Guo Sheng's sleepiness was disturbed by the sound of drums. He followed the sound of the drums and soon found the source of the sound.
"What is the Xiao family doing?" Guo Sheng watched for a long time but still didn't understand what they were doing. The drums were beating in waves, and the girls were walking back and forth under the shade of the trees.
Guo Sheng was confused. He returned to Jun Lie's side and met Jun Lie's gaze. He replied blankly: "I think Miss Xiao might..." Making money from girls? Or what is the purpose of hiring these beautiful girls?
You can't open a brothel, right?
"Hmm?" Jun Lie raised an eyebrow. Guo Sheng had also learned his lesson and stopped guessing. He told Jun Lie everything he had seen. After that, he asked, "Third Master, what do you think Miss Xiao is going to do?"
Jun Lie's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Maybe it has something to do with the opening of the cloth shop?"
"What does the opening of a cloth shop have to do with girls walking around?" Guo Sheng said with a puzzled and bewildered look on his face.
"We'll know on the opening day, won't we?" Jun Lie picked up a book from the side and started reading.
"Third Master, it's so noisy outside, how can you still read?" Guo Sheng was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes, but the drumming sound was neither far nor near, and he couldn't fall asleep.
Jun Lie took a sip of tea and turned a page.
Guo Sheng: “…” Well, just pretend he didn’t ask.
Guo Sheng yawned and returned to the room. As soon as he entered the room, he covered his head with the quilt. The sound of drums came in waves. Guo Sheng covered his ears with both hands. He picked and picked until a hole was made in the quilt. When he saw the cotton, Guo Sheng directly grabbed two balls of cotton and stuffed them into his ears.
Well, it’s quiet.
The Xiao family's drumbeats continued to ring for two days. On the day of Zhiyun Tower's opening, Xiao Jiuyue prepared to go out early. When she saw Jun Lie also preparing to go out, she was surprised: "Third brother is going out too? Aren't you going to ask a doctor to come? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing that there were so many people around, Xiao Jiuyue changed his words to "Third Master".
"I just want to join in the fun. Since no one invited me, I have no choice but to come uninvited." Jun Lie's gaze fell on Xiao Jiuyue. Beneath his calm eyes, there was a burning heart.
"Ahem." Xiao Jiuyue cleared her throat, pretending not to hear the hidden meaning in his words. "It's not that Third Brother came uninvited, it must be that he has something to hide. Third Brother is recovering from his injuries right now, and there are so many people around. If he bumps into something again, wouldn't that be a sin?"
Jun Lie's hands casually rested on his legs, "It's okay."
"Well, today is the grand opening of our Zhiyun Tower. Please come and visit, Third Brother?" Xiao Jiuyue called out "Third Brother" several times, and he became particularly fluent in calling him.
"Since Jiuyue invites me so warmly, I will go." Jun Lie's voice was steady and powerful.
Jun Lie's carriage moved steadily ahead. Xiao Jiuyue lowered the curtain and said, "Jin Wen, please be more careful later. Don't let the Third Prince get hurt."
"Yes." Jin Wen, who was driving the carriage, responded.
"Miss." Shang Ting had been waiting at Zhiyun Tower early. In less than half a month, a cloth shop was opened. In such a short time, Shang Ting was a little confused, but at the same time, a little expectant!
At the entrance of Zhiyun Tower, there was something similar to a stage. It was a long platform covered with red cloth. It looked very strange just by looking at it.
"A lot of people are crowding at the door asking questions." Shang Ting said excitedly, "I've already done what the eldest lady said. Anyone who buys anything here can enter the lottery!"
"Miss, how do we draw the lottery?" Shang Ting prepared the gifts for the lottery according to what Xiao Jiuyue had said, including eggs and meat.
"Jinwen." Xiao Jiuyue turned around and asked Jinwen to take out the small turntable she had prepared and conduct a small-scale test first.
The small turntable was quickly brought up. The turntable modules in several colors made people curious and excited just by looking at them.
"The things are ready." Xiao Jiuyue gave orders in an orderly manner. Most of the people he brought were from the Xiao family, including maids, Mama Geng, Mama Yu and others. Although none of them had ever done any work, as long as they were given orders, they would definitely do it properly.
Soon, gongs and drums sounded, and Shang Ting came on stage amid the sound of gongs and drums. Shang Ting's voice was full of energy. He stood on the stage and did not say much. He directly announced that their Zhiyun Tower would open today.
"Today, all customers who bought fabrics and ready-made clothes in Zhiyun Tower can participate in the lottery. The first prize is one or two taels of silver!" Shang Ting shouted loudly. Soon, the door of Zhiyun Tower opened and those people rushed in impatiently!
Xiao Jiuyue was standing in the teahouse opposite, drinking tea with Jun Lie. Jun Lie asked, "You, aren't you going to take care of it yourself?"
"No need. I have already explained everything that needs to be explained in the past few days. The rest is up to them." Xiao Jiuyue said it calmly, as if it was not her who opened the business, and the money earned was not hers.
"Jiuyue is quite confident." Even though there were only two of them in the teahouse, Jun Lie did not change his words. When he called out the name 'Jiuyue' in a cold voice, it was like a feather brushing against the tip of my heart.
