Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 237 Auspicious Day for Opening

Now that the name has been chosen, the only thing left is the opening date, which will be completed in about half a month.

Dugu Jingyao recalled that it seemed that Xunfeng had asked someone to help calculate the last time they moved, so Dugu Jingyao said to Sijian: "Sijian, go find Xunfeng, I have something to ask him."

Si Jian took the order and went to the front yard. When she arrived, Xun Feng was writing something there. Si Jian deliberately wanted to go over and take a look, but this time Xun Feng heard her movement and suddenly turned around when she was about to approach, which scared her.

Si Jian immediately gave Xun Feng a slap on the head, causing him to rub his head and cry out in pain: "Si Jian, can't you be a little gentler? It hurts so much!"

Si Jianze was not panicked at all: "Who told you to scare me first? You deserve it!" After saying that, he made a face.

Xun Feng felt a little wronged after being beaten, but he didn't dare to fight back, so he could only continue to write. Si Jian looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, the princess wants to see you for something."

Xun Feng then raised his head and asked with a puzzled look, "What does the princess want to see me about?"

Si Jian shrugged. "How should I know? The princess just asked me to come to you and said she had something to ask you. You'll know what it is when you see the princess, right?"

Xunfeng nodded, put away the things on the table, and followed Sijian to the backyard. Along the way, the two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Arriving at the backyard, Xun Feng bowed and greeted Dugu Jingyao, then asked, "Princess, what do you want to see me about?"

Dugu Jingyao smiled and replied, "Xunfeng, I want to ask you, when you moved last time, you asked someone to help calculate an auspicious date. Can you also help me calculate a suitable date for opening my new store this time?"

Xun Feng listened and said with a smile, "Of course, no problem. Princess, please wait a moment. I will find someone to calculate it tomorrow."

At noon the next day, Xun Feng returned with a piece of yellow paper with several dates written on it. He handed it to Dugu Jingyao and said, "Princess, these are all auspicious dates for opening a business. You can pick a date you like."

Dugu Jingyao took the yellow paper, looked at it carefully, and finally chose the 20th day later, that is, the sixth day of the fifth lunar month as the opening date for the new store. During the meal, Dugu Jingyao told Liu Jingyue and the female workers about this matter. They all agreed that this date was very good.

After confirming the opening date, Liu Jingyue began to think about the business strategy in the early stage of opening the store. Dugu Jingyao also went to check the store from time to time. The female workers repeatedly practiced their skills to ensure that all preparations could proceed smoothly.

Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye. One day, Li Chu finally got some free time and decided to go to the store to check it out.

Coincidentally, Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue were also there, as the work upstairs had been completed and the cabinets delivered by Carpenter Zhang had arrived. They had come to inspect these achievements.

Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue were carefully checking the cabinets on the first floor when Li Chu walked in. Everyone greeted him first, and then Liu Jingyue said with a mischievous smile, "My future brother-in-law is here?"

Li Chu was obviously very pleased with his sister-in-law's affectionate address and couldn't help but laugh heartily: "Haha, yes, I'm free today and came here to see the progress on your side. Now it seems that everything is ready, right?"

Dugu Jingyao blushed shyly when she heard her sister address Li Chu like that. She nodded slightly and replied softly, "Well... yes, it's almost ready. The opening date has also been set, on the sixth of May."

Li Chu smiled, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, and whispered, "Then on the opening day, I will bring my brother Dan and Ruo'er to show our support." His tone revealed a strong interest in this store, as if he couldn't wait to witness its prosperity.

However, Dugu Jingyao suddenly reached out to stop him and said seriously, "No!" Her voice was firm and powerful, which made people feel confused.

Li Chu frowned slightly, a trace of confusion flashed across his face, and asked in confusion: "Oh? Why not?" His eyes were fixed on Dugu Jingyao, trying to find the answer from her expression.

Dugu Jingyao sighed softly, slowed down her speech and explained patiently: "It's not that I don't want you to come, but even Yue'er and I don't plan to show up on the opening day. On the surface, this store will be run by Boss Liu and the female workers. After all, we are both still young, and we are worried that if people know that we are the boss behind the scenes, it will cause unnecessary trouble." Her eyes revealed deep worry, as if she had already foreseen the difficulties she might face.

Li Chu suddenly understood. So that was the reason. He smiled and consoled them, "Don't worry. Even if you two open a shop, it won't matter, especially with the royal family's support in the future. But since you don't want to show up, it's fine. It'll save you from unnecessary trouble." His words were filled with confidence and determination, as if any problem could be easily solved.

Dugu Jingyao looked at Li Chu gratefully and said with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding. In fact, Yue'er and I will watch the opening ceremony in the teahouse next door that day, so we can also be involved. If you want to come, you can go together." There was a hint of expectation in her eyes, hoping that they could share this joy.

Li Chu nodded and said, "Well, okay. If I have time that day, I will bring them to see the opening of your new store."

Li Chu had thought that he had met her and was going back, but Liu Jingyue saw that Li Chu was about to leave and asked, "Are you going back now, my future brother-in-law? Why don't you have dinner together?"

Li Chu said, "We've seen what we need to see. It's still early, so you guys should get busy. I'll be leaving now."

Seeing that her couple was so weak, Liu Jingyue thought to herself: This couple would break up without me! So she said, "You came at the right time. My sister and I have almost finished the examination and are about to go back home."

Dugu Jingyao looked sideways at Liu Jingyue with a suspicious look on her face. Liu Jingyue secretly winked at her, as if to say, "Sister, please agree!"

Dugu Jingyao seemed to understand, so she nodded and said, "Well, Yue'er is right. We have finished the inspection and are preparing to return home. Why don't you come to your house and have a seat."

Li Chu finally reacted and asked, "Oh? Are you guys back in the Yunnan Palace?"

Although they had not moved back completely yet, they were planning to move back because the business was about to open, so Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue nodded in agreement.

A glint of light flashed in Li Chu's eyes, but it was only for a moment, and then he returned to normal and said: "If you return to the palace to live, I will respectfully obey your order."

So Li Chu waited for Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue to finish checking the cabinets, and then returned to the Yunnan Palace with them.
