The embroidery workshop had been open for a few days, but business had been mediocre. Yun Xiangye calculated the accounts and found a small surplus in the daily income, so she felt relieved.
There are so many embroidery workshops, clothing stores and brocade shops in Chang'an City. It is not easy to compete for business among them.
On February 25th, Gu Yan had a day off, so he had time to come and help Yun Xiangye sell clothes.
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye in the embroidery workshop and said, "This Jinxiu Street is not like Zhuque Street. The wives and daughters of officials and wealthy merchants often go to Zhuque Street and rarely come to Jinxiu Street. No wonder your business is so mediocre."
Yun Xiangye said, "How could I not know that there are more customers on Zhuque Street than Jinxiu Street? It's just that the shops on Zhuque Street are not cheap."
"My family owns several shops on Zhuque Street." Gu Yan said, "Why don't you move to Zhuque Street?"
Yun Xiangye said, "No need. I think Jinxiu Street is quite nice. I'll go to the backyard to embroider clothes, and you go to the door of the embroidery workshop to greet the guests."
Gu Yan's eyes darkened and he frowned slightly, "You want me to stand at the door to greet guests?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Didn't you say you'd help me sell clothes during your day off? If you stand outside the door, you should be able to attract a lot of business for me."
After all, Gu Yan is indeed good-looking, and it is rare to find a man in this world with a face more handsome than his.
When she was in Yongxing City, Gu Yan's appearance had attracted many wealthy ladies to her business.
Gu Yan took a deep breath and said, "Yun Xiangye, you want me, a dignified fourth-rank Imperial Censor, to stand at the door to welcome guests?"
Yun Xiangye: "As the son-in-law of the Five Colors Embroidery Workshop, what's wrong with you standing at the door to welcome guests?"
Gu Yan frowned slightly. He looked into Yun Xiangye's eyes and said, "This place is not like Yongxing City. If you let me greet customers and sell clothes at the door, how can I hold my head up in front of my colleagues?"
Yun Xiangye didn't force it, saying, "If you don't want to, forget it. Then go back. Why bother pretending to be so hypocritical and saying you'd help me sell clothes..."
After Yun Xiangye finished speaking, she took Nuonuo's hand and went to the embroidery room.
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye's back, and finally took a deep breath, standing at the door to welcome guests for the Five Colors Embroidery Workshop. Well, if Yun Xiangye didn't go her way in this matter, who knows how she would make trouble again.
It would be better to greet customers for her. When her business gets better, she should be happier.
Although there are not as many daughters of wealthy businessmen and officials on Jinxiu Street as on Zhuque Street, there are still some daughters of small officials and businessmen who come here for a stroll.
Many ladies saw such an outstanding young man standing at the door of the Five Colors Embroidery Workshop and took a few more glances at him before entering the workshop.
Around noon, an official's daughter recognized Gu Yan, and she asked her maid to tell her close friends. By the afternoon, more and more daughters came to see the Prince of Ning.
Yun Xiangye was in the embroidery room, looking at the lists of clothes that the maid in front kept bringing her, and she hurried to the shop in front.
The shop, which was once deserted, is now finally crowded with customers.
Yun Xiangye looked up and saw Gu Yan standing at the door. She walked up to him and asked, "You didn't leave?"
Gu Yan said, "If I leave, won't you be arguing with me for several days? Forget it, reputation is not important, my life is more important."
Yun Xiangye murmured softly, "I won't make trouble with you anymore."
Gu Yan frowned slightly as he listened. He held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "It's a rare day off. I'll take you and Nuonuo for a walk around Chang'an City this afternoon."
Yun Xiangye said, "No, Nuonuo fell asleep during her nap. We've received so many clothing orders, we have to rush to make them as soon as possible."
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand tightly and said, "Did you recruit so many embroiderers for nothing? It's just right that Nuonuo is fast asleep. It's been ages since we've been boating on the lake together."
Gu Yan took Yun Xiangye's hand and went to the place where they had cruised on the lake last time.
The spring river water is warm and the sun is shining, and there are many cruise ships on the lake at this moment.
Yun Xiangye looked at the rippling lake water and recalled the day when she and Gu Yan first met. At that time, she fell into the lake. It was not that she could not swim, but her clothes happened to be cumbersome and tangled, so she could not paddle.
There were many cruise ships on the lake that day, but only Gu Yan was closest to her.
When Gu Yan rescued her, she had only one thought: this young man was so handsome.
After Yun Xiangye gave Gu Yan some silver as a thank you, she thought they would never have the chance to meet again.
Who knew that he would become seriously ill and dying because of saving himself from drowning, and had to seek happiness to bring him good luck.
After three years of marriage, they had a daughter. If they were still in Yongxing City, Yun Xiangye would like to live a good life with him.
The family of three lived happily and harmoniously in the small embroidery workshop.
After coming to Chang'an, everything changed.
Gu Yan embraced Yun Xiangye in his arms and said, "It's rare to relax in the lake, it's quite pleasant. It reminds me of the day when I first met you. Your smile was so bright that day. You should smile more often."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan. Who was the reason why she stopped smiling?
Yun Xiangye said, "If you weren't the Prince of Ning, but the young master of the Renyuan Pharmacy in Yongxing City, it would be fine. Before I married you, I saw your aunt speaking fluent Yongxing dialect, and she didn't even ask if you were from Yongxing. If I had known you weren't, I probably wouldn't have wanted to marry you."
Yun Xiangye still married Gu Yan. After Gu Yan recovered from his serious illness, she saw that he could not speak the Yongxing City dialect, and realized that he was not from Yongxing City. It was too late to regret by then, as she had already married him.
To tell you a funny thing, now many aristocratic families in Chang'an City look down on her because she was born in a small city, but three years ago, she really despised Gu Yan because he was not a native of Yongxing City, but a merchant from another place.
