Chapter 1406: Chapter 1228: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"Then... then I’ll go get it for you right away!" Li Moxiu’s wife glanced at Xia Dabao again before turning to busy herself.

It was almost noon, and more customers had begun to arrive. Lu Jianxi told Li Moxiu’s wife to go ahead and busy herself, saying she would sit for a while and then leave, so Li Moxiu’s wife went on with her work.

Lu Jianxi quietly reminded Xia Dabao again: "You see, others pay seventy coins for a box, but I bought you a whole outfit for just the price of a box of facial masks. Strictly speaking, you’re still at a loss."

Xia Dabao had been watching for a while and knew that the shop was making a lot of money; she couldn’t help but whisper to Lu Jianxi, "My mom was quite impressive back then."

"Exactly, as your Uncle Long said, your mom started Spikenard Square when she was about your age," Lu Jianxi said.

"It’s really shameful. At the same age, I still don’t know how to do anything," Xia Dabao said, somewhat disheartened.

"How many in the world can compare to your mom? Just seeing how much your dad adores her, you should know. Being her daughter is a blessing from a previous life," Lu Jianxi comforted Xia Dabao.

"That’s true," Xia Dabao smiled again.

"Alright, you’ve also visited Spikenard Square, and you know the money you’re using is all your mom’s. From now on, you don’t have to be polite with Aunt Jianxi anymore, okay? It’s mealtime now; let’s hurry back and eat."

"Okay, good!"

"..."

In the afternoon, Xia Dabao took a nap in the house. After waking up, she took out the new clothes she had bought and looked at them again.

The clothes felt really comfortable, both smooth and light. Just then, Lanlan came in and, seeing Xia Dabao examining the clothes, couldn’t help but suggest, "Miss Dabao, why don’t you try on this outfit? Lanlan can help you change."

"Sure!" Xia Dabao had intended to change anyway, and at Lanlan’s reminder, she quickly did.

The clothes were changed quickly. She wore a pink underskirt with a white top. Besides the clothes, she had also bought shoes, as Lu Jianxi said, "The type of clothes determines the color of the shoes." Though they were all embroidered shoes, there were blue, pink, and red ones, and she chose a pair of pink ones.

"Miss Dabao looks absolutely beautiful. Let Lanlan comb your hair to set off your outfit," Lanlan earnestly suggested.

"Ok," Xia Dabao sat at the vanity, holding a copper mirror in her hand.

The mirror was only as big as a face, revealing only her upper body, but Xia Dabao was still startled by the person in the mirror for a moment.

She remembered a story her mother had told her about her first time coming to the city, dressed as a city dweller, and how her dad, after seeing her, was stunned for a long while and exclaimed, "Where did this fairy come from?"

She looked at herself again and guessed she might look somewhat like her mother had back then.

Having served Xia Dabao for two days, Lanlan knew her to be kind-hearted and thus became more talkative: "Miss Dabao, these clothes were bought by the lady from ’Xiangshe Square,’ weren’t they?"

"It seems to be that store name, but how do you know?" Xia Dabao curiously asked.

"Miss Dabao might not be aware, but Xiangshe Square is among the foremost workshops in our Fu County. Its headquarter is in the Provincial City, and only two years ago, they opened a branch here in Ping County. The clothes there are very expensive, only affordable for those with status and money," Lanlan explained. "I could tell from the fabric that it came from Xiangshe Square."
