Chapter 336: Chapter 201: Taking the Fall for Someone Else_1
Qian Yixiu’s tears wouldn’t stop flowing; the more she cried, the sadder she became, until she finally sobbed out loud.
Lady Wei thought she was scared by the few military men and kept consoling her, "Don’t be afraid, sweet girl, those military men have already walked far away. Under the daylight, they wouldn’t dare to bully you."
Outside the carriage, Liang Gao also offered words of comfort, "Miss Qian, don’t be afraid. If they dare to cause trouble, I’ll show them the plaque from our residence. My family’s Master Duke is the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Army, they wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you even if they had the gall."
After crying enough, Yixiu silently thought, that place is the campsite for the Left Guard Army of the Imperial Army, right? Those military men appearing here, they’re likely to be officers and soldiers of the Left Guard Army, aren’t they?
Well, when there is time later, she would carefully inquire about that General Qian.
If he’s just a passerby, it’s rare to find someone so much like her little daddy and also seemingly quite just. It’s fate, and she might as well establish a good relationship with him, creating good karma.
If that man really is her not-dead Ghost Daddy, living well and not coming home, looking like he’s even become an official, then he must have abandoned his parents, wife, and daughter for wealth and status. If that’s the case, hmph, just wait.
All along the way, Yixiu wiped her tears and clenched her teeth in secret, not even caring to look at the scenery. Half an hour later, they entered the South Gate of the Capital City. A quarter hour later, they reached the Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop.
The Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop was located in Qingyang Alley on Luonan Street in the Capital City. It was not the most prime location, but it was still a bustling area.
They didn’t take the main street and went directly into an alley, arriving at the back courtyard of Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop.
At the front of Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop was a three-storied shop, with a courtyard behind it. The courtyard was quite large, with two rows of four rooms each and a two-room building at the back. Inside the courtyard, there was a well and an ancient banyan tree.
The building at the back housed the kitchen and the toilet. Two rooms in the right wing were used as a storeroom, two as a bedroom, which were temporarily being used by Su Dawu, Master Lu, Master Jin, and others.
In the left wing, Yixiu had one room; Qian Hua and Lady Wei shared another; the two maids occupied another room; and the last one was used as Qian Yixiu’s guest room.
Divided in this way, the space was not only tight but also very cramped.
After setting their things, Qian Yixiu suppressed some small thoughts and followed Qian Hua to tour the shop.
She didn’t enter the shop from the back door of the courtyard but exited the courtyard and took a detour to the main street to enter through the shop’s front door.
The main entrance of the shop faced the street, and most neighboring shops were Embroidery Buildings, Silver Towers, study rooms, restaurants, and carriage shops.
The street was very wide and could accommodate six carriages running side by side. Even as the sun was setting, there were quite a few pedestrians, creating a lively scene reminiscent of a river of cars and horses.
This sight did indeed resemble the prosperity depicted in the "Qing Ming festival in Shanghe" painting from her previous life.
Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop was a three-storied building. The first and second floors were sales areas for Liancourt Cosmetics, with a silver plaque hanging between them, inscribed with the words "Liancourt Boutique." The third floor was the office space for Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop, topped with a gold plaque that read "Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop." Given the current conditions, they had to squeeze together temporarily. Once they had more money, Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop would rent another place.
Like most shop fronts, the exterior of Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop was made of green bricks and black tiles, with red carved doors and windows, and colorful lanterns hanging along the periphery.
To the right, there was a small door. Entering through this door led upstairs to Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop on the third floor.
And those eight luxurious and imposing carved red doors were the facade of Liancourt Boutique.
Since it was not open for business yet, the doors were closed. Qian Hua opened and folded them up, and as everyone entered, it was as if they had stepped into another world. They couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder, could a shop really be decorated like this?
Qian Hua strictly followed the style Qian Yixiu had mentioned for the decoration.
When he first heard it, he was very surprised, not understanding why the young master’s ideas were so peculiar. But after the real decoration was completed, it opened his eyes; indeed, it captured people’s attention.
In fact, this decoration style incorporated some modern elements. They didn’t have enough money to compete in luxury with others, so they had to strive for novelty.
The counter was not the traditional one against the wall, but instead, it was placed in the middle, taking up half the room’s space in the shape of a rectangle. The counter surrounded the space, efficiently using the front, back, left, and right.
In the center of the counter was a ring of tall shelf cabinets resembling a Bogu shelf, with various cosmetic samples displayed on top, interspersed with some eye-catching and attractive ornaments.
