Chapter 220: Good luck in opening the business

Xing’er glanced at her mother: “It’s nothing. Xiao Fei said that there will be coats distributed in winter, which are also work clothes.”

Mrs. Qian’s eyes lit up, and she said happily, “There are winter clothes? That’s good. I won’t have to make clothes for you in the future. This way, I can save a lot of money.”

Xing’er frowned and wanted to say something, but she was too lazy to say it. She went to the side room with her bag.

The opening day was chosen by Gu Zhang after looking at the horoscope. March 19th was a good day for opening the market and breaking ground.

Gu Fei didn’t go home the night before, she just stayed in the store.

She carefully checked every corner to make sure there were no omissions.

Early in the morning, the Gu family dressed neatly and went into the city.

Xiao Cao changed into a newly made red flower jacket and tied two small tufts on her head with red hairbands, looking very festive.

Although Mrs. Chen had visited this shop many times in the city, she still felt new to it and tried everything.

Everything looked good.

After a while, the village chief came with his sons Gu Jinsheng and Gu Yinsheng, and smiled and bowed to Gu Fei at the door: “Xiao Fei is promising. Such a big shop opened so quickly. It will make a fortune in the future.”

Gu Fei smiled and returned the greeting: “Thank you for your good words. Grandpa Village Chief, please go inside and sit down.”

The village chief waved his hand and said with a smile: “Just call me Sixth Grandpa in the future. There is no village anymore, so how can there be any village chief.”

The village chief’s two sons, Gu Jinsheng and Gu Yinsheng were at the back, each holding a congratulatory couplet, Gu Zhang took it with a smile and asked Gu Erlang and Gu Sanlang to post it by the door.

On the left was: Business is booming all over the world

On the right was: Wealth is abundant and reaches the three rivers

After a while, the Eldest Aunt and Eldest Uncle, as well as the Third Uncle and the Third Aunt, also arrived. Several families jointly presented a plaque, black lacquer, and gold, which must have cost a lot of money.

Gu Fei hurriedly let them into the store.

Young Master Zhou and Sister Dan from next door also came over, followed by two servants, carrying an embroidered screen.

Young Master Zhou bowed: “Miss Gu, good luck in opening the business.”

Sister Dan looked at Gu Fei with a smile: “The little girl is really capable, this sister wishes you a lot of wealth.”

Just as they were talking, Shopkeeper Wang of Yipin Pavilion, and Shopkeeper Liu of Zuixianlou, also came over, and Gu Zhang hurried forward to greet them.

A few people stood at the door and talked, and saw two servants carrying a gift box coming over.

Zhang Ze walked in front of the two servants and bowed to Gu Zhang from a distance. When he came to Gu Fei, he smiled and said: “My young master wants to come here in person, but now he is studying in the academy, so he sent me to bring gifts to congratulate Miss Gu on her opening.”

Gu Fei bowed to Zhang Ze: “Thank you, Brother Zhang, and thank your young master for me.”

The two servants carried the gift box to the door of the store and put it down, then opened it, and the people standing at the door exclaimed at the same time.

In the box was a half-arm-long jade cabbage.

The cabbage’s body was transparent white jade, but the leaves were green and lush, with a very natural color transition, and the carving was lifelike, and the dew on the leaves seemed to be dripping.

Cabbage means wealth, which was a good omen.

The people standing at the door were all knowledgeable.

Young Master Zhou and Sister Dan owned a pawnshop, so when they saw the cabbage, they knew it was worth a lot of money at a glance. It cost at least one thousand taels of silver.

Sapphire was only a mid-range jade among jades, and mutton-fat jade was the top grade, but the carving of this cabbage and the natural color of this sapphire were rare.

This makes the sapphire cabbage surpass the value of the jade itself and rise to the level of a rare treasure.
