Therefore shopkeeper Fang, looked around and approached Shu Yu quietly. He said, "County Princess Lu, most of our shop's goods have been sold. We'll be able to vacate today. Tomorrow morning, I'll bring two assistants to clean up the shop inside and out, and we can hand it over to you."
Shu Yu nodded, "No rush, we agreed to inspect it tomorrow afternoon. I just happened to pass by Futai Street today, so I came to take a look."
shopkeeper Fang, breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile deepened, "County Princess, feel free to browse around. If you find anything you like, just let me know."
"Alright."
shopkeeper Fang, went back to attending to customers; the shop was bustling with people today.
Ying Xi watched him serve customers and said, "Miss, shopkeeper Fang seems different from the last time we saw him."
"What's different about him?"
"It's like... he seems very relaxed and comfortable now?"
She wasn't sure if her feeling was accurate.
But Shu Yu felt the same way. She thought that shopkeeper Fang, was indeed not suited to be a shop owner; he seemed to prefer executing decisions made by others.
In the past, when he was the shop shopkeeper, he appeared restrained and troubled. Now that he knew he didn't have to be in charge anymore, he was full of energy.
Shu Yu smiled and took Ying Xi for a stroll inside the shop.
As shopkeeper Fang, had mentioned, there wasn't much inventory left in the shop. It seemed that business had been good these past few days.
After a brief tour with Ying Xi, they saw several waves of customers paying for various cosmetics and leaving.
Thanks to the big promotion, even ordinary people could afford these items. So, even without the patronage of wealthy ladies, they had no shortage of customers.
With too many people downstairs, Shu Yu decided to go upstairs.
Though there weren't many people on the second floor, every private room had its own customers.
There were also several young girls waiting in the outdoor garden, selecting powder boxes from the counter while waiting.
After observing for a while, Shu Yu was about to leave.
But just as she turned to go downstairs, she suddenly heard her own name.
"This shop, I heard it was bought by County Princess Wen'an."
Shu Yu halted her steps and looked towards the two girls who were talking.
The two girls had their backs to her, sitting in a corner of the garden. Although this area wasn't as private as the private rooms, there were beaded curtains separating several sections.
The two girls chatted while drinking tea, seemingly unaware that their conversation was being overheard.
Well, in the eyes of these noble ladies from the capital, Shu Yu might be a county princess, but she was just a county princess from a small place. They didn't see any reason to be discreet.
"Speaking of that, it's interesting. This shop used to belong to Young Madam Zhou. Now it's sold to County Mistress Wen'an, who happens to be the former young master of the Gong family's unwedded wife. The connections are quite intricate," the girl speaking chuckled softly. "Quite complicated, I must say."
"Really? Zhou Yi's shop was sold to Meng Yunzheng's fiancée? Wu Ling, are you kidding me?" The other girl seemed surprised by this news.
"I'm not kidding you. This news has spread everywhere. You know, that second daughter-in-law of the Wang family has always had a grudge against Zhou Yi. She's been watching closely. According to what she said, it happened just a few days ago. It seems that County Princess Wen'an wanted to open a shop in the capital, saw this cosmetics shop on Futai Street, and approached the owner. And guess who the owner is? It's Zhou Yi."
"County Princess Wen'an wants to open a shop in the capital? What kind of shop is she opening here?"
