Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 206 I Want a Shop

Dugu Xin and his family left Zhaoyang Palace. Along the way, they were all happy because the wedding date had been set. They looked energetic and even their steps were much lighter.

Chu Xiaoyi and the two brothers of the Chu family were originally going back home, but because they let their youngest daughter go back to the East Palace with her cousin yesterday, the little girl was still angry, so they decided to stay and accompany her and did not leave.

In order to make it easier for his uncle and cousins to return home, Li Chu also stayed. Moreover, since he had no time to come in the past few days, he stayed to accompany his mother and father.

The Dugu family boarded a carriage and headed for the Yunnan Palace. On the way home, Dugu Xin looked at his youngest daughter with a kind smile and said, "Yuer, why did you speak in Zhaoyang Palace today? You usually don't speak unless you're paying your respects!"

When Liu Jingyue heard Dugu Xin's words, she raised her head slightly and looked forward, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if it was a matter of course, and she said softly: "I just feel that this matter involves our family, and we must speak out. And I'm afraid they will bite back, so I have to say it in a way that will move the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. You two can't say it as well as me."

Dugu Xin looked at his daughter's smile and felt relieved. He knew that his daughter had grown up and had her own ideas and opinions.

Dugu Xin hummed softly and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Yue'er is right." Turning to look at the scenery outside, he added, "Yue'er, if there is anything you want, tell me. Today, as long as I can afford it, I will buy it for you!"

Liu Jingyue obviously didn't expect that just a few words could bring such benefits. She was stunned for a moment.

Dugu Jingyao's lips curled up slightly, and she chuckled softly, "Yu'er, are you so happy that you've lost your mind? Stop being dazed and tell me your wish! This opportunity is rare! If you miss this opportunity, there will be no such opportunity anymore!"

Liu Jingyue finally came back to her senses and looked at the father and daughter with a confused look. After thinking for a moment, she said seriously, "Dad, I don't want anything else. I just hope to get a shop."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Xin and Dugu Jingyao both showed astonishment on their faces. Dugu Xin quickly asked, "Yu'er, why did you suddenly want to open a shop?"

Liu Jingyue explained solemnly, "Dad, you see, you and sister are both admired heroes, while I'm completely useless. But now, I have my own specialty—my makeup skills! Even the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are full of praise for my skills! If I can pass this skill down and carry it forward, then at least it will be a contribution to our family!"

Dugu Xin was filled with joy and relief when he heard this answer. He thought of his eldest daughter getting married next year, and his youngest daughter being so sensible and obedient, and he couldn't help but feel deeply moved. According to Yue'er, he was simply a winner in life!

The more Dugu Xin thought about it, the more excited he became, and his eyes gradually became moist. Dugu Jingyao noticed that his father was acting strangely and asked with concern: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Dugu Xin quickly adjusted his mood and laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, I'm fine, I'm just too happy. Seeing you two sisters grow up and become more and more sensible, I feel very relieved!"

Dugu Jingyao's eyes turned slightly red when she heard this, and she said with a choked voice: "Daddy, please don't say that anymore, or I'm going to cry!"

Dugu Xin hurriedly soothed her, "Okay, okay, I won't say any more!" Then, he turned his gaze to Liu Jingyue and asked her gently, "Yuer, since you want a shop, have you thought about where to open it? After all, you are still young, so it is not convenient for you to run the shop yourself."

After hearing this, Liu Jingyue thought seriously: Yes, how could I have forgotten this? Now I am just an eight or nine-year-old girl. It is indeed inappropriate for me to go out and open a shop.

But he really didn't want to give up his plan. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind: "I just need a shop to sell my goods, and I just need to find someone to help me look after it. For example, I can choose a suitable shop in Chang'an, and after my sister gets married, I can ask her to help manage it. That way, this shop can be considered a 'dowry' left for her."

Dugu Jingyao was so moved that she almost cried when she heard this. She didn't expect her sister to be so considerate and consider her future. Dugu Jingyao choked up and said, "Daddy is right. Yue'er has really grown up. Not only does she have her own ideas, she also knows how to think about her family and me, her sister!"

However, Liu Jingyue muttered to herself: Oh, maybe you all misunderstood me. I just want to open a small shop to earn some pocket money, and by the way, promote modern makeup technology and become a master like Mao Geping.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still said: "Sister, don't cry, there is obviously a happy event today, but I made you sad."

Dugu Jingyao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't cry."

In a flash, the carriage came to a steady stop in front of the Prince of Yunnan's palace. The coachman swiftly jumped off the carriage, gently knocked on the wall, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Princesses, we have arrived at the palace!" Hearing this, the people in the carriage finally stopped talking reluctantly.

Dugu Xin was the first to step down from the carriage. His steps were steady and powerful, revealing a sense of confidence and majesty. Then, the two sisters gracefully stepped down from the carriage, one in front of the other. Their movements were light and dignified, like two noble fairies descending to earth.

After entering the mansion, they walked towards the backyard. Along the way, Liu Jingyue kept thinking about how to explain things more clearly. Finally, she mustered up the courage to speak, "Sister, if that shop really can be opened, I can invest in it with my technology and get a 20% dividend every year. Is that okay?"

When Dugu Jingyao heard what her sister said, she couldn't help laughing: "Haha, of course you can, Yue'er. I guess this shop can't be opened without your skills!" Her smile was full of trust and support for her sister.

Dugu Xin also smiled and agreed, "Haha, Yue'er, your sister is right. Not to mention 20%, even if you want to take it all, as long as the shop is profitable, your sister will not object. Moreover, Daddy will help your sister prepare a generous dowry and will never let your sister suffer any grievances!" His words were full of love and concern for his daughters.

Suddenly remembering something, Dugu Xin said to Xunfeng behind him, "Xunfeng, go see if there are any suitable shops in Chang'an City."

Liu Jingyue felt relieved after hearing this, and then said, "Don't worry, Dad, let me make a detailed plan, and then it won't be too late to find a shop. After all, our family can still afford to buy a shop."

Dugu Xin looked at his daughter's confident expression and inexplicably felt a little more trust in her. He said loudly, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to finish your plan before sending Xunfeng out to find a shop!"

Watching the two talking, Dugu Jingyao felt mixed emotions. In her previous life, she had missed out on so much because of her arrogance.

But she still said gently: "I'm also waiting to become a shareholder!"

After saying that, they smiled at each other and returned to their respective courtyards.
