Chapter 64 Opening
February 20th is the day when Yuan Ziyu’s dim sum shop opens!
Early in the morning, Qingying and Qingzhi helped Yuan Ziyu to dress up. The weather was still cold, so Yuan Ziyu wore a thin jacket with narrow sleeves made of silver-red satin with gold and auspicious clouds, a light pine flower pleated skirt, a jade-colored cloak embroidered with broken branches, and a mutton-fat jade pendant with a jade-colored tassel hanging around her waist.
Qingzhi combed Yuan Ziyu's hair into a bun with her hair hanging down and adorned it with a few jade-colored pearl flowers and the jade hairpin that Huo Xifei had given her.
When Yuan Ziyu went to pay her respects to Madam Yuan, Ning was bringing Ning Shaozhen to show off in front of Madam Yuan.
"Are you going out?" Madam Yuan asked after looking at Yuan Ziyu's clothes.
"That's right, grandma!" Yuan Ziyu said with a faint smile.
Ning watched from the side and laughed, "Oh, I remember now. Today is the day when the second girl's shop opens, so she has to go out!"
The elder lady didn't know about this and just asked in surprise, "Second girl, you opened a shop?"
"I just used my mother's dowry shop to practice my skills!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile: "It's just a small fight. I don't know what will happen. I didn't disturb Grandmother's peace."
Madam Yuan nodded and gave Yuan Ziyou a complicated look. "Since your mother asked you to practice, you should practice hard and gain experience instead of just giving it a try!"
"Yes, Grandma!"
"Second sister, this dress is so beautiful!" Ning Shaozhen looked at Yuan Ziyu's clothes with envy, and took a few more glances at the jade hairpin in Yuan Ziyu's hair. "If you go out, can you take me with you? I want to go with you to broaden my horizons!"
Ning Shaozhen is the same age as Yuan Ziyu, but a few months younger.
"There are so many inconveniences today!" Yuan Ziyu was not going to tolerate Ning Shaozhen.
Ning Shaozhen pouted when she heard this. Relying on the face she had gained by acting cute and flattering the old lady in front of her these past few days, she said to her, "Old lady, please talk to my second sister. I'm not trying to mess with her. I just want to see what she's like!"
Madam Yuan, having hurt Liu and Yuan Ziyou's feelings a few days ago, naturally didn't dare to force Yuan Ziyou. She smiled and said, "Your second sister has something to do today, so I'm afraid she won't have time. Let's wait until she's free!"
Seeing what the elder lady said, Ning Shaozhen had no choice but to give up and stood beside Ning with a wronged look on his face.
After paying his respects, Yuan Ziyu took Qingying and Qingzhi to Liufengyuan and left the house with Liu!
Because Yuan Ziyu opened a shop without telling her, Madam Yuan was in a low mood. She just waved her hand and let Ning and Ning Shaozhen leave!
Nanny Bai and Shaoyao had to try to comfort her.
Ning Shaozhen returned to the guest house. Seeing that Ning Shaozhen looked aggrieved, Fan asked hurriedly, "Zhen'er, did you suffer any injustice when you went to see the old lady?"
"Mom!" Ning Shaozhen pouted and said, "I just found out today that today is the opening day of my second sister's shop. I begged her to take me to see it, but she refused!"
"What?" Ning Shaobo, who had just arrived, asked hurriedly, "Whose shop is opening?"
"It's the Miss Yuan Er you've been thinking about!" Ning Shaozhen snorted, "What's so great about that? She even ignores her relatives. Aren't you afraid of losing face if you tell others about it?"
"Which shop is it?" Ning Shaobo asked again hurriedly!
"How would I know? She didn't say!" Ning Shaozhen rolled her eyes to the sky.
"Hey, Bo'er, where are you going?" Seeing Ning Shaobo walking out without saying a word, Fan asked hurriedly!
"Mom, don't worry about it!" Before he finished speaking, Ning Shaobo had already hurried out of the yard. These days, he had been thinking about Yuan Ziyu all the time, but as a man, he couldn't go to the backyard without an invitation. Now that he heard Ning Shaozhen say that Yuan Ziyu had left the house, he couldn't bear it anymore and just wanted to leave the house quickly to see the beauty.
"Mother, look at my brother, he's obsessed with that vixen." Ning Shaozhen looked at Ning Shaobo's back with dissatisfaction, and said unwillingly, "He didn't even think of taking me, his own sister, with him when he left the house!"
Mrs. Fan was well aware of her son's thoughts and was feeling annoyed. Seeing Ning Shaozhen say this, she slapped her in the face and said, "He's your eldest brother, you have no right to criticize him."
"Hmph!" Ning Shaozhen was dissatisfied and turned around and went back to her room!
Only Fan was left cursing Yuan Ziyu in her heart.
It is said that Liu and Yuan Ziyu took a carriage to Chongping Street. It was still early and the shops on the street were not open yet, so Liu and Yuan Ziyu got off the carriage in front of the back door of the shop.
"Madam, Second Miss!" Hearing the knock on the door, the people in the backyard hurriedly opened the door. Seeing that it was Liu and Yuan Ziyu, they greeted them in unison!
"Shopkeeper Xiao, is everything ready?" Liu asked!
Xiao Ying quickly replied, "Madam, everything is ready. We're set to open at 9:00 PM. We'll open the main gate as soon as the time arrives, and hang the plaque after the firecrackers go off!"
"That's good!" Liu nodded and said, "Let's go take a look ahead!"
"yes!"
Xiao Ying accompanied Liu and Yuan Ziyu to the shop in front. At this time, the shop had been tidied up.
This shop has two floors. In the lobby of the first floor, rows of sleek wooden shelves are filled with different types of snacks on trays of different styles. There are also a few flowers on the trays as decoration. Because it has just opened, Yuan Ziyu did not put all the snacks on the table, but only put ten different flavors of snacks!
Yuan Ziyu was thinking that launching one or two new flavors of dim sum every month would, on the one hand, increase the variety of dim sum in the shop, and on the other hand, stabilize the customer base.
The second floor is divided into several small flower halls. If any ladies want to have snacks here, they can go to the second floor. Tea is also served on the second floor. The tea is made by Yuan Ziyu himself using spring water.
Liu and Yuan Ziyu walked around the first and second floors several times, then nodded with satisfaction. It must be said that Manager Liu had a good vision. Xiao Ying and several servants were diligent and smart.
Soon, it was time for the shop to open!
Xiao Ying asked the servant to remove the baffle of the shop door, and then ordered the servant to bring the firecrackers, and started setting them off in front of the shop door!
The sound of firecrackers attracted the curiosity of people on the street. They knew at a glance that a new shop had opened, and they immediately gathered around to watch with great interest!
Seeing everyone gathered around, Xiao Ying smiled. When the firecrackers stopped, he said loudly, "Everyone, today is the grand opening day of Xunxiangzhai. Welcome everyone to come. In the first three days, anyone who buys two pounds of snacks in the shop will get half a pound of snacks for free. Welcome everyone to Xunxiangzhai! Now let's put up the plaque!"
After he finished speaking, everyone saw several shop assistants carrying a large plaque and walking out of the shop!
At this moment, a shrill voice came from far away: "Propagate the Empress Dowager's decree!"
