Fu Ciyi's heart skipped a beat. How could he be sincere?
If he had to express his sincerity, it would be to not let them know his true identity.
After a moment's silence, he said, "After all, I haven't broken off my engagement with the Cai family's daughter yet, so anything I say now is just empty talk. But I want to say that I will only have Fu Ning as my wife in this life, and I will never have another woman. This is absolutely true."
Yan Bojian and Yan Xinghe nodded in succession.
It is not easy for a man to do this. At least my grandfather had several women around him.
In their family, their father had made a good start, with only their mother by his side. In their generation, the eldest brother only married the eldest sister-in-law.
Yan Funing shook her head.
What he said was nothing more than a rehash of the old tune, but if he could really do it, it would indeed be difficult for an ancient man.
At this moment, a laugh was heard outside the hall.
The sound was very pleasant, and soon the owner of the laughter came in.
Before Yan Funing could speak, Hong Qingyi smiled and shook her head, "You two keep calling me 'boss'. You're calling me a man too old."
Yan Xinghe flipped through the manuscript and said happily, "Dresses like that will definitely be popular."
Anyway, I'm in a bad mood today.
Hong Qingyi nodded. "It's time to go back sooner. You heard his father say last night that Berkeley returned to the Imperial Academy early yesterday morning. My injuries are more serious than his, and I returned earlier than him. What do you think the Emperor will think?"
Yan Yan'er stared blankly at the carriage going away and stomped her feet hard.
Yan Funing took out a box of ointment and pushed it over from under the table: "For scar removal, that one is for Seventh Brother." Then she pushed another box over and said, "That one is for Mr. Fu."
--
The two shopkeepers immediately agreed.
"It was you who gave the order allowing him to set foot in Nanyuan." Berkeley's voice suddenly heated up. "Not yet. Don't call your Seventh Brother when you come forward."
Shopkeeper Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Father was wrong. I should have been wary of the man named Fu."
At that time, for some reason, Cai Tingzhou's steps became uncontrollable when he saw him. It was clearly a flat road, but Cai Tingzhou tripped over his left foot and fell.
Just as I was about to get on the bus, a man came running towards me.
The two shopkeepers nodded frequently and said, "Then go and prepare for the opening."
The two shopkeepers looked at the drawings in each other's hands.
"August 70th is an unlucky day, so we shouldn't open our two shops on the same day." You pulled out two sheets of manuscript paper, one of which you gave to Cai Tingzhou. "The requirements for the raw stone used for the jade-made injunctions are quite low, so let's make some first and put them outside the shop. We can also make some jade rings and bracelets first. As for the jade bracelets, jade plaques, jade pendants, etc., come quickly."
Seeing Yan Bojian's ugly face and seeing the prime minister of a country fall down at the palace gate, this is a happy event.
I am the son of Shopkeeper Zhu, the future Duke.
Calling Yan Funing "Big Sister" and not having personal freedom means that Berkeley is our backer. Running a shop like this makes me feel even less confident.
Why did these ten young men never think that calling you "Seventh Brother" was so disgusting in the past?
Yan Funing said, "They'll have to be prepared for that, because it's highly unlikely to happen. But have you thought about it? Chengwenlou will offer discounted packages. Diners who dine there will get another discount if they go back to their shop. If customers get a good deal, the first wave of business will come."
Yan Funing stood up and called out, "Daddy, why are you so happy?"
Yan Xinghe asked doubtfully, "But sister, what if there are no customers when we open?"
After saying that, he pulled out the sleeve that Yan Yan'er had pulled and got out of the car in small steps.
"Yes, but I haven't done much research." Yan Funing said, handing the remaining manuscript paper to Berkeley. "Those are samples of men's dresses and shirts. They make a batch according to the size and hang them in the clothing store. We do both ready-made clothing and custom-tailored clothing for customers."
Before we left, Berkeley hurried back.
--
"Cai Tingzhou has bad taste." Yan Funing smiled. "East Eighth Street has a small customer base, so you must do your best to attract customers to your shop. While the dress is beautiful, it must be paired with the perfect finishing touch. This way, it will become a complete whole."
But you never rested, you drew many drawings and made several large boxes of scar cream.
Among the seven young masters of the Yan family, who would you choose?
That day, August 11, Berkeley brought the owner of the jade shop and the owner of the clothing shop to visit Shopkeeper Zhu.
Could it be that Manager Yang’s outside journey is successful?
Yan Funing said, "Dad, Master Fu and Second Brother are not injured, and they can both drink."
Berkeley also said, "Boss, the clothing store is ready and waiting to open. But right now, there are only cloths outside the store, not ready-made clothes. What kind of clothes do you think you should make in advance?"
The bad thing is that although we are rivals, we were relatives in the past.
Hong Qingyi said gently, "Since they are your man's followers, they can just call you Big Sister. Honesty is important in business, and loyalty is also important in life."
All matters concerning East Eighth Street were handed over to Fu Ciyi.
His eyes rolled. Among the seven brothers of the Yan family, Yan Honghou would be the least powerful in the future.
"The embroidered patterns on my sister's dresses complement her forbidden steps perfectly!" Cai Tingzhou praised.
Berkeley took the manuscript, looked at the detailed drawing below, and saw that the dimensions were not marked. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Sister, have you ever been involved in jade making before?"
The two shopkeepers met Yan Funing in the Nanyuan reception room.
Yan Funing doesn't care about the name. It's your mother who speaks, so you naturally listen to her.
A few days ago, Yan Funing stayed at home because of her menstrual period.
Shopkeeper Yang took two boxes of ointment in one hand and said, "Give it to me tomorrow."
Cai Tingzhou said respectfully, "To reply to Madam Guo, Sister Yan Qi is indeed your boss."
I've rested long enough, it's time to go back to work and see if the official business has piled up.
"Let's eat now."
"Mother, sister, you plan to go back to the Hanlin Academy for duty tomorrow."
Yan Cheng smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just went into the palace and saw someone walking towards me. He fell at the palace gate."
The next morning, Berkeley went out and prepared to go to the Hanlin Academy.
It was the first time Yan Xinghe had seen the distinguished wife of the Duke. He stole a glance and immediately bowed in agreement, "That's indeed the case."
Fu Ciyi naturally followed suit: "Yes, father-in-law."
Cai Tingzhou said, "Boss, all preparations for the jade shop have been completed. When do you think we'll open?"
What makes people even happier is that the person who fell was Cai Tingzhou.
After all, it was his own sister calling him, and it was comfortable to hear it, and his mood also became relaxed.
"Seventh brother, Yan Funing bullied you again. When you heard that Seventh brother had to go back to duty today, you wanted to go to Nanyuan to inquire about his injury. Before you could even reach Nanyuan, you were chased away." You grabbed Shopkeeper Yang's sleeve, sobbing, "It seems it was your idea to let you see Seventh brother."
"I'm happy today. Fu Ciyi is here too, so please stay and have a drink." Yan Cheng said.
I glanced sideways and saw that the person coming was Yan Yan'er.
