Gu An'an hasn't found a suitable house yet, but the needlework shop next door, which was under renovation, has finally come to an end.
It was renamed Wenxiang Xiaozhu and officially opened on Qixi Festival.
The entrance is adorned with clusters of flowers and decorated with pink and pale yellow gauze, creating a visual feast.
The shop owners on either side saw the young woman leaning against the door with her waist exposed and her arms completely naked, and hurriedly looked away.
There were also some idle loafers who came here specifically to whistle and act like hooligans, only to be glared at by the young woman and burst into laughter.
They managed to get quite a share of it.
"Manager Gu, have you forgotten your promise to us? You said you would never let this brothel open! Look, look..."
"Manager Li, please be patient. Qixi Festival is just two days from now, and we haven't even opened for business yet."
"But……"
Gu An'an pressed her hand down, "Since I promised you all, I will naturally keep my word. Don't worry, this Fragrant Abode will not open, and it won't delay our business."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su San Niang from next door walked over gracefully.
Xiao Wu glared at her, which amused Su San Niang. "What, you don't welcome me when you're doing business? Xiao Wu, if I hadn't persuaded Manager Gu back then, who knows where you would have ended up. You might have ended up as a maid at my Fragrant Pavilion. Of course, it's not impossible for you to go now."
Her flippant words made Xiao Wu blush with anger, but he didn't know how to refute her.
Xiao You, however, glared at her with disdain upon seeing this, then laughed at Su San Niang, "So that's why there's such a strong stench, it turns out it's Boss Su."
Su San Niang's expression darkened upon hearing this, but Xiao Wu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You old slut."
shameless.
"Xiao Gu, look at the staff in your shop, is this how you treat your customers? What, are you not welcoming me?"
Gu An'an looked at the person who was accusing her and smiled sweetly, "Since you already know, why ask? Are you trying to show off that you have a mouth? But we're all the same, there's nothing to show off."
Hearing this, Su Sanniang, who had been complaining, was furious. "Gu An'an, you're really taking advantage of your big business!"
"I wouldn't dare say anything against you, Third Sister. My little shop is nothing but a place where I can say anything against you. I just don't welcome you. Please leave."
Su Sanniang, who had come to swagger around, left like a defeated rooster, uttering a harsh threat: "You just wait and see, this street will be either you or me!"
Gu An'an nodded in agreement, "Then remember to order a coffin from Boss Zhang first, and arrange for someone to collect your body. Otherwise, it would be too tragic to leave your body lying in the street."
"Gu An'an!"
Gu An'an's tone became even more forceful, "Get out!"
The argument that broke out in the shop left the shopkeepers who had come looking for Gu An'an speechless.
When they came to their senses, Gu An'an said in a gentle tone, "As you all just heard, Boss Su and I are sworn enemies. If I want to continue running my shop, I will naturally not allow her Wenxiang Xiaozhu to open."
Several shop owners nodded in agreement, saying, "Manager Gu, you've worked hard. If there's anything we can do for you, just let us know."
It was just a polite remark, and Gu An'an didn't take it to heart.
"Of course, I will trouble you all then. Now please go back, and we'll just wait and see what the show is like on Qixi Festival."
With that said, no one else could say anything more.
They all left the area. A few people glanced at the Fragrant Pavilion as they passed by and saw Su San Niang talking to a young woman leaning against the door. Su San Niang looked rather fierce.
"Why would you give up a perfectly good needlework shop to do this kind of shady business?"
I really don't understand.
Liu Jiuniang couldn't understand it either. These days, Gu An'an seemed to be busy looking for a house, but hadn't found a suitable one yet, and seemed to have no interest in what was happening next door.
Are you really sure about this?
"You don't trust me."
Gu An'an asked with a smile, "The day after tomorrow is Qixi Festival, it's only two days, can't you wait?"
"Not really." Liu Jiuniang was still uneasy. She pulled the person aside and spoke with her back to him, "Xiao Gu, tell me, are you really sure?"
If we're not confident about the outcome, wouldn't we make a huge fool of ourselves?
I don't do things I'm not sure about.
Liu Jiuniang hesitated for a moment, "You're not waiting for that Young Master Lin to come back, are you?"
She knew that Bai Qiaoyin of Taibai Restaurant was essentially working for that young master of the Lin family. If Lin Zixing said just one word, Wenxiang Xiaozhu would be impossible to operate.
The problem is that she has already inquired and found out that Lin Zixing left Anping County a few days ago. She didn't know where he went, but so far there has been no news of him returning.
Relying on Lin Zixing doesn't seem very reliable.
Gu An'an laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have no intention of looking for him. It's only been less than two days, so let's wait patiently."
Liu Jiuniang was both amused and exasperated. It was the emperor who was more worried than the eunuch. "Alright then. By the way, Xiao Gu, I heard that Jiang Yongshan is gone."
The news didn't shock Gu An'an much. That day, Sister-in-law Jiang and that woman packed their bags and ran away, even selling the courtyard.
The buyer has paid the money, so naturally they won't leave Jiang Yongshan in the way.
Old Mrs. Jiang hated her unfilial eldest son so much that she had no intention of taking him back.
It would be perfectly normal for someone who has been given fifty lashes to die.
“I went back to Jiangjia Village yesterday. Jiang Lao Er and his wife are holding his funeral.”
Gu An'an asked in surprise, "Jiang Yongshan was taken back?"
