Chapter 239 "My Beauty Secret" officially opens
After sending Li Chu away, Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue set off again to return to Dugu Mansion. After all, their luggage had not been completely packed yet.
The grand opening is ready, and Liu Jingyue has even planned the promotional plan for the opening, even using clothes from her previous clothing store to avoid waste and sell them in bulk. Any profit is a good thing!
Everyone fell into a sweet dream that night.
The next morning, after breakfast, Dugu Jingyao, Liu Jingyue, and the people brought by the Yunnan Palace began to pack their luggage.
When Xiaojiu heard that they were packing their luggage, she was very reluctant to let them go. She sighed, "Time flies! The two princesses are going back so soon."
Liu Ruyan also echoed: "Yes, not only we are reluctant to let her go, even Min'er and Ning'er are reluctant to let her go!"
Soon, Dugu Jingyao and his group loaded their luggage into the car and prepared to return to the Yunnan Palace.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the bedroom where Liu Jingyue and Dugu Jingyao were.
"Who is it?" Liu Jingyue asked.
"It's me, Min'er." A childish voice came from outside the door.
Liu Jingyue opened the door and saw Min'er standing at the door with a letter in her hand.
"Sister, this is a letter I wrote to you. Please accept it." Min'er said as she handed the letter to Liu Jingyue.
Liu Jingyue took the letter and opened it. It was written in childish handwriting:
"Sisters, thank you for taking care of everyone during this time. We will miss you."
After reading the letter, Liu Jingyue was moved to tears. She hugged Min'er tightly and said, "Min'er, thank you. We will miss you too."
Dugu Jingyao also came over, gently stroked Min'er's head, and said, "Min'er, remember to take good care of yourself, your mother, and your brother."
Min'er nodded, then turned and ran away.
Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue watched Min'er leave, their hearts filled with reluctance. But they knew that even if they didn't leave now, they would still leave and return to Yunnan once the store was back on track, so a short pain was better than a long one.
Dugu Jingyao and her group got on the carriage under the watchful eyes of Liu Ruyan and the female workers. They did not return to the Dugu Mansion until the Dugu family's carriage disappeared from their sight.
Time passed quickly and everything was ready. Soon it was the sixth day of May. Not only did Liu Ruyan and the female workers get up early to prepare, but even Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue, the two people who did not need to attend, were very much looking forward to today's opening ceremony, so they got up early.
However, when Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue arrived, Liu Ruyan had already tidied the shop with the female workers and was waiting for the auspicious time to start the opening process.
Xiaojiu was the first to see Dugu Jingyao and her sister arrive. She happily greeted them with a bright smile and said to them, "My two princesses, you are here!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the Dugu sisters who had just walked in, and ran forward to greet them.
Liu Jingyue nodded vigorously, while Dugu Jingyao nodded gracefully, and then said, "Let's come over to see how you are preparing."
Everyone was full of confidence, and Liu Ruyan said, "Don't worry, Princess. We've rehearsed this many times beforehand, so there won't be any problems!"
Dugu Jingyao was pleased to see the women workers so confident. She said, "Okay, then we'll watch your performance in the teahouse across the street."
Everyone nodded in unison, and Xiaojiu added, "Just wait and see!" Everyone was amused by her skilled hospitality tone, and seeing this, Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue felt relieved.
In order not to delay their continued work, the two sisters left the shop first. Because the auspicious time was 3:15 AM, which was still about half an hour away, the two sisters decided to stroll around the West Market first and then go to the teahouse across the street to watch the opening ceremony.
While shopping, Dugu Jingyao saw that Liu Jingyue seemed very relaxed and asked, "Yuer, aren't you worried that something might happen to them?"
Liu Jingyue shook her head and said, "I trust them. I've also prepared some emergency plans for them ahead of time. I'm sure they'll be able to solve any problems they encounter. Plus, they've been practicing over and over just for this day, so I'm sure they're all super focused."
Seeing that her sister was determined, Dugu Jingyao smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then take a look and see if there is anything you want. You have worked hard during this period, so I will buy it for you as a reward."
Liu Jingyue hadn't expected this surprise, so she asked cautiously, "Anything is fine?"
Dugu Jingyao immediately became alert and said, "It has to be something I can afford, and it can't be used to commit illegal activities."
Liu Jingyue was a little speechless and said, "Sister, am I such a person?"
Dugu Jingyao laughed and said, "Haha, I was just kidding. Tell me, what do you want?"
Liu Jingyue thought for a moment and said, "Emmm, sister, I haven't thought about it yet, so I'll owe it to you first and tell you when I think about it."
Dugu Jingyao nodded and said gently, "Okay, then tell me when you've made up your mind."
Seeing that it was almost time, the two walked back to the teahouse opposite the store and found a good place to sit down.
Not long after, Li Chu and the other two arrived. Li Ruo hadn't seen the two sisters for a long time, so she waved to them from a distance. Liu Jingyue also responded enthusiastically. Although Dugu Jingyao didn't make as exaggerated gestures as Liu Jingyue, she also kept smiling.
When they came closer, Dugu Jingyao said, "Now that you are here, please sit down."
Li Chu said, "Are we not late?"
Dugu Jingyao shook her head and said, "You've come at the right time. It's about to start." After that, they ordered tea and sat here waiting for the opening.
Soon, the sounds of gongs and drums could be heard from the shop across the street, and a crowd of passersby stopped to watch. Liu Ruyan and the other female workers began their performance.
Xiaojiu opened the show with a warm smile, saying, "Dear fellow villagers, please don't miss it if you pass by. Today is the grand opening of our store. We have many discounts, and everyone is welcome to come and shop!"
Ping'er then continued, "Our store used to be a clothing store, but now we're planning to change business. As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty, so this time we're reopening to sell products that can make people more beautiful. Our name is also related to beauty."
Xiaojiu continued, "I believe everyone is very curious about the name of our store. Now, our boss, Ms. Liu Ruyan, will unveil the store sign. Everyone, please give her a round of applause!"
Then the applause turned from a drizzle to a thunderous roar. That's right, because they used a shill. To avoid a dull moment, Xunfeng, Shijian, Sijian, Zhishu, and Shili were scattered in different corners of the crowd, clapping first and leading the others into the role.
So, amid everyone's applause, Liu Ruyan came to the bottom of the sign and pulled the red silk. The red silk gradually fell down, revealing the words "My Beauty Secret", and everyone read it out word by word.
Then Xiaojiu struck the gong to bring everyone back to their senses and said, "My Beauty Secret Book is officially open!"
