Opening a shop by oneself is not a trivial matter, and Shen Xiu has many things to ask Hui Niang for advice. Hui Niang is reluctant to let her go, so Shen Xiu decides to stay at Xiuzhuang for a few more days.
Except for Huiniang and Shopkeeper Liu, no one else knew that Shen Xiu was going to open another store.
One morning, Lu Yuhan sent someone to invite Shen Xiu to come over to discuss the dowry.
Lu Yuhan was very envious of the wedding dress that Li Miaoer wore when she got married, so after the engagement, she went to an embroidery shop to order a wedding dress with gauze embroidery.
But after the wedding dress was finished, Lu Yuhan felt that it was not unique enough, so she came to Shen Xiu to discuss it.
Shen Xiu knew that she had the same thoughts as Li Miaoer and wanted to wear a unique wedding dress.
She glanced at the wedding dress and quickly had an idea.
"I also feel that this wedding dress is missing something. Let me think about it, why not add a cloud shoulder."
Yun Jian, Lu Yuhan shook her head, "Ordinary Yun Jian is too ordinary."
Shen Xiudao: "I know there are not many patterns in Yunjian, but we also need to see who will make this Yunjian. Now that I have said this, I will definitely be able to make a unique Yunjian. Then you can take a look.
yes."
Lu Yuhan still believed in Shen Xiu's embroidery skills, so she nodded immediately: "Then I'll wait."
Shen Xiudao: "It's just that I'm busy choosing a store recently, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few more days."
"It's not urgent." Lu Yuhan said with a slight blush, "The Yuan family wants to wait until their son becomes a scholar before discussing the wedding date, but they have to wait until next year."
She was afraid that Shen Xiu would make fun of her, so after saying this, she quickly asked: "Why did you choose the store?"
Shen Xiudao: "I plan to open a store of my own. But I haven't found a suitable store yet."
When Lu Yuhan heard that Shen Xiu was looking for a shop, her eyes suddenly lit up, "I do have a suitable shop here. It's just not big, but it's in a good location. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Shen Xiu heard that the location was good, and she was immediately moved, "Then tell me in detail, whose shop this is?"
Lu Yuhan said embarrassedly: "This is my trousseau shop. My uncle just gave it to me last month. The owner who originally opened the shop quit, so the shop became vacant. Originally, my uncle said that he would help me rent it in a few days.
I'm going out, but since you want to rent a shop, I'll naturally follow you first."
This dowry shop is located in the center of County Street. It is easy to rent a shop like this. Shen Xiu was afraid that someone would beat her to it, so she couldn't wait to ask Lu Yuhan to take her to see the shop.
Lu Yuhan then spoke to Old Mrs. Lu. When Old Mrs. Lu heard that she was going to take Mrs. Shen out for a walk, she immediately agreed and sent two maids to follow them.
The carriage drove to the center of the street. Lu Yuhan and Shen Xiu got off the carriage and pointed to the shop in front of them and said, "This is the shop I told you about."
As Lu Yuhan said, the area of the shop is really small, only half the size of Xiuzhuang.
However, Shen Xiu opened an embroidery shop and did not require the size of the shop. In fact, this small shop just met her requirements.
She looked up and down, and felt that there were so many people coming and going around here that she would have no worries about running out of business in the future.
Looking at the expression on her face, Lu Yuhan knew that she liked this shop very much, so she pinched the handkerchief and said with a smile: "How about it? This shop is good, isn't it?"
"It's really good." Shen Xiudao, "I just don't know how much the rent is."
Lu Yuhan smiled and said: "Since you are one of our own, the rent is a little cheaper. I heard from my uncle that the annual rent of this shop is two hundred taels of silver, so I'll give you 150 taels of silver."
"
Shen Xiu said hurriedly: "That won't work. Two hundred taels of silver is two hundred taels of silver. If you really want to help me, just introduce a few more guests to me."
Lu Yuhan did not have the final say in this shop alone. Shen Xiu did not want to be known as taking advantage in front of the Lu family, so she insisted on renting at two hundred taels of silver.
Seeing her insistence, Lu Yuhan said: "Okay, then I will introduce a few more guests to you in the future. Although I don't have any brothers, I do have some sisters. Later I will help you say a few nice words in front of them, so that they can
They cheer you up."
"Then I'll thank Miss Seven here."
After the two of them looked at the house, Lu Yuhan wanted to hang out again. However, the two maids sent by Mrs. Lu said it was getting late and advised Lu Yuhan to go back early.
Lu Yuhan felt a little disappointed. When she came out of the shop, she was about to think of an idea to get rid of the two maids. However, before she could think of an idea, she saw a group of people coming from the opposite side.
That group of people were obviously students from the academy by their clothing.
Lu Yuhan's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at those people subconsciously, and then she saw Wei Yan's figure. Next to Wei Yan, stood a young man wearing a sky-blue satin shirt, who was her fiancé Yuan Ziwen.
At this moment, Lu Yuhan immediately lost all intention of shopping any more, and immediately lowered her head and said to Shen Xiu: "Let's go!"
Shen Xiu also saw Wei Yan, and then realized that today was a day off for the academy. She originally wanted to say hello to him, but Lu Yuhan urged her, so Shen Xiu nodded to Wei Yan from afar and got on the carriage.
The first thing Wei Yan saw was Lu Yuhan walking in front, and then Shen Xiu. He was shocked. He never expected that Lu Yuhan would know Shen Xiu, and judging from the relationship between the two, it seemed that
Have known each other for a long time.
Did Lu Yuhan know that Shen Xiu was his wife? Did she meet Shen Xiu intentionally or unintentionally? Wei Yan was thinking about these questions and didn't even know when the carriage left.
Qu Huan, on the other hand, patted Yuan Ziwen's shoulder carelessly, "Ziwen, everyone has left. Is the girl you were staring at just now the seventh girl?"
Yuan Ziwen accidentally bumped into his fiancée, and he felt very sweet in his heart. He immediately said: "What seventh girl, that is your future sister-in-law."
"What sister-in-law? You are obviously only a few days older than me." Qu Huan said with a smile, "The person standing next to the seventh girl is my sister-in-law!"
"Brother Wei, why is my sister-in-law with the seventh girl? Do they know each other?" Qu Huan asked.
Wei Yan also wanted to know this question. When Qu Huan and Yuan Ziwen looked over together, in order to prevent Yuan Ziwen from noticing his strangeness, he looked as usual and said: "I don't know either. I'll find out when I get home and ask.
"
With this on his mind, Wei Yan was not in the mood to hang out with them, so he quickly returned to the house.
Before Shen Xiu came back, Wei Yan taught Liu Hai how to read to pass the time.
Liu'er studied very seriously, but he was not naturally good at reading, so learning whether it was reading or memorizing was very difficult.
Wei Yan couldn't bear to hit him. No matter how many times he learned it, he always taught him patiently.
Half an hour later, Shen Xiu finally came back.
Wei Yan first asked Liu Hai to endorse it himself, and then he pulled Shen Xiu aside and said, "Axiu, I have something to ask you."
