Qin Mansion
The old housekeeper hurried to Qin Jin and whispered, "Sir, Miss Xia is here."
Qin Jin stood up nervously: "She came alone?"
"She is with Gu Changsheng. Xiaci will open tomorrow."
"Okay. Let's go check it out tomorrow." Qin Jin stroked his beard and asked with some disappointment, "Qin Xue... didn't come?"
"No."
Qin Jin was extremely disappointed.
… …
The next morning, Xia Qianqian got up early.
She picked a few peach blossoms from the yard and took them to the front shop for decoration.
The servants had already hung up red lanterns and red silk. Firecrackers were also hung at the door of the store, waiting for Xia Qianqian to cut the ribbon before setting off the firecrackers.
This is a downtown area, and the opening of the new store has attracted many people to watch.
"Xia porcelain? What kind of porcelain is that?"
"Isn't there only Song Dynasty porcelain and Qin Dynasty porcelain in Lu'an Prefecture?"
"That's right, this Xia porcelain was shipped from Pan County, and I heard it's very good!"
"A rising star? We'll have to wait and see."
"… "
Xia Qianqian was very satisfied with the momentum before the opening.
Qing Tong asked: "Miss Xia, it's time to cut the ribbon."
"Where's Gu Changsheng?" Xia Qianqian asked. She had been up for a while, but there was no sign of Gu Changsheng. Could he have collapsed from exhaustion from the journey
"The young master has gone out for something, so just let Miss Xia cut the ribbon to open the business." Qing Tong said.
Xia Qianqian felt a little disappointed, but since the time had come, she might as well cut the ribbon and open the business!
After getting Xia Qianqian's permission, Qing Tong stood at the door of the store and said proudly: "Dear fellow villagers, today is the auspicious day for the opening of our Xia Porcelain. The goods are of good quality and low price. If you buy, you will get free gifts. Please support us!"
"Okay, let's take a look at the goods first! Cut the ribbon quickly!"
"good!"
Xia Qianqian excitedly cut the ribbon in the presence of everyone.
This was her first time cutting the ribbon in ancient times, and her career ship officially set sail!
The firecrackers exploded, creating festive smoke, gongs and drums sounded, and the lion dance team jumped around in a lively manner.
Xia Qianqian held a tray and distributed candies and sunflower seeds to people entering the store and passing by.
Gu Changsheng watched from afar, holding a Polaroid camera in his hand, and took a picture of Xia Qianqian cutting the ribbon.
Although the pixels of Polaroid cameras are not very good, they were extremely precious visual memories in ancient times.
Xia Qianqian will definitely be very happy when she sees this photo in the future.
After taking the pictures, Gu Changsheng put the things into the space and returned to the store.
It was still early, and most of the visitors were from the neighborhood and businessmen. There were also those who knew about porcelain and praised the Xia porcelain highly.
In order to increase her popularity, Xia Qianqian organized a buy-one-get-one-free promotion. Business was pretty good, and she sold more than twenty taels of silver in total.
"Master Qin."
Xia Qianqian was enthusiastically introducing porcelain to the guests when she suddenly heard Gu Changsheng's voice. Her face darkened and she turned around quickly.
Qin Jin, not wearing his official uniform and accompanied by only a butler, had already entered the store.
"Lord Qin, would you like to take a look at the porcelain too?" people asked.
"Yeah, come and take a look." Qin Jin laughed dryly and walked towards Xia Qianqian.
Xia Qianqian looked gloomy and didn't like him: "Lord Qin's family is a porcelain manufacturer. You should have endless Qin porcelain at home. Why did you come to see my Xia porcelain?"
"I heard that Xia's porcelain has surpassed Qin and Song's, so I came here to take a look." Qin Jin was embarrassed. But he was in the wrong, so he could only keep smiling.
"Master Qin, please come this way." Gu Changsheng helped to smooth things over, led Qin Jin to sit down, and ordered someone to pick out a few beautiful cracked porcelains and bring them to Qin Jin, "Master Qin, how about the Xia porcelain?"
Happy birthday to Tangtang, and all the best!
