Chapter 260 Good Ruren
An Qiao shook her head helplessly, "You two are just thinking too much. It would be easier to solve it if you told me. Why bother to suffer for half a year in vain?"
Qi Tao shook his head embarrassedly, "The young lady has been very good to us, there is really no reason for us to cause more trouble..."
She lowered her head, somewhat at a loss.
An Qiao didn't really blame her. The two chatted for a while and then changed the topic.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the old man's shop.
There are a lot of people coming and going at the door. Nowadays, whether it's moving land, getting married, or opening a business, which one doesn't need a gentleman's look?
Everyone wants to choose a good day.
An Qiao and Qi Tao also entered the shop. This was not the first time An Qiao came here. She skillfully took a number and stood aside. It was similar to a modern hospital, and someone would call out numbers.
The atmosphere at the scene was not relaxed. Everyone was sitting or standing. Some people had worried expressions on their faces, while others stood calmly to one side. You could tell whether it was a wedding or a funeral from their expressions.
After waiting for a while, I heard someone shout, "One hundred and eighty-three."
Qi Tao tugged at An Qiao's sleeve and said, "Young lady, it's our turn now."
An Qiao walked closer and explained her purpose to the old man.
The old man looked up at her and asked, "Young lady, your business is really big. You have opened a new shop in less than half a year."
An Qiao nodded and replied, "The old gentleman is still very capable. He knew it was a new shop when he saw me."
The old man counted on his fingers and said, "Three days later. Young lady, your business is big, and I dare not delay your good life. If we can't open the business in three days, we will have to wait until next month."
An Qiao thanked him, paid the money, and left the shop with Qi Tao.
The two walked along the wall, chatting casually along the way. Qi Tao said, "I still have to ask the master to check the date, so that I can feel at ease."
An Qiao nodded. Whether it was for peace of mind or for a good life, it was like this.
The two of them also had to go to the soap shop to see if there was anything else that needed to be purchased, and they also had to pick up the new plaque made by An Qiao.
Ten days later, we will have a lotus banquet, so we have to quickly finish the work of the soap shop and Kyoto Huancailou.
An Qiao looked around the house and felt that she had made the right decision to entrust this matter to Qi Tao, as she handled every detail very well.
Qi Tao was still worried whether there was something he had not done well.
An Qiao sighed, "I still have to leave it to you. You did a great job. You did everything I could have imagined and even expected."
Qi Tao felt a little embarrassed, lowered his head, and his face turned a little red.
……
Three days later, Kyoto Huancailou opened for business.
An Qiao got up early in the morning and put on some light makeup, if for no other reason than that other shops could allow her to appear without makeup when opening, but this Huancailou was originally in the business of rouge, powder, and scented soaps, so it was normal for it to be a little more elaborate.
"Wow, the young lady looks so beautiful today."
As An Qiao just went out, she encountered rain. She looked at An Qiao and gave him a thumbs up.
An Qiao smiled. This little girl... normally she can't even get anything out of her if you hit her with a stick.
"Stop making fun of me and go have breakfast quickly. Be careful, or the guests may come and you won't have time again." An Qiao reminded. Yu Shui was always procrastinating on these things. Many times, he didn't even have breakfast before he had to go to the kitchen to help.
You are really young and don’t know the power of hypoglycemia.
An Qiao walked into the yard. Qi Tao had gone to Huancai Tower early in the morning and looked very nervous.
In addition, the three Star Ring sisters have also arrived, and now they are just waiting for An Qiao to go over and cut the ribbon.
With a simple firecracker and a simple ribbon-cutting ceremony, Huancailou opened for business.
People love to join in the fun, and when they heard the sound of firecrackers, they all gathered around.
"What are you selling, young lady?"
"It smells so good in there, what do you sell?"
"It's actually a newly opened shop. If I remember correctly, this shop was originally a pharmacy, or a charity. I even took free medicine from it."
“I don’t know what they are selling now, but the sign of this charity house is still there, so it should still help the people.”
……
Everyone was talking at once, and for a moment An Qiao didn't know which question to answer.
"Hello everyone, this is Kyoto Huancailou. They sell aromatic diffusers, purse sachets, hair and facial oils... everything you need! There's also a good thing that no one has ever used, soap! A small piece can be used for more than half a year. It can be used to wash your face, hair, and clothes. It's very useful!"
An Qiao introduced in a hoarse voice.
Seeing that she was exhausted, Qi Tao answered, "Today is a big opening sale. All products are 78% off. First come, first served. You can try the soap first. If it doesn't work for you, you don't have to buy it."
The noise was already quite loud, and many people were crowding to look inside. The sound of horse hooves in the distance came and went.
It turned out to be the palace's carriage. Many people retreated when they saw it. An Qiao also lowered his head silently. No one dared to challenge the emperor's majesty.
The person who came was Eunuch Wei. She thought he was just passing by, but she didn't expect him to walk straight to An Qiao.
"An Qiao received the order—"
Eunuch Wei's voice was sharp and majestic. An Qiao was stunned. She didn't expect that it was actually related to her.
An Qiao and the others knelt down, "An Qiao accepts the order."
"The Emperor proclaims, by order of Heaven.
During the plague, An Qiao provided prescriptions to the court and the people free of charge, saving the people of Dayan Dynasty from dire straits. He also contributed a method for making masks, which effectively prevented the spread of the plague.
Today, Anqiao's Huancai Tower is opened for business, and I specially reward her with a thousand taels of silver and confer the title of Shanru Ren on Anqiao.
Admire this. "
An Qiao was filled with questions, wondering if this was just a fake title.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward. Long live the emperor."
An Qiao lowered her head and reached out to take the imperial edict.
Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "Mrs. Shan, please take good care of me in the future. The emperor said that he hopes you will continue to consider the people and make more friends in the future."
An Qiao responded immediately, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Eunuch Wei. Today is the opening day of our shop. Eunuch Wei, please take a look and see if there is anything that catches your eye. Feel free to take it."
An Qiao was not ignorant of the ways of the world, and she smiled as she handed a bag of silver coins to Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei looked as if he understood something. "Back then, your shop wasn't that big yet. Your cooking was really delicious. I'll go there more often in the future."
An Qiao also smiled and said, "It's still Eunuch Wei who is so supportive."
The people who were watching nearby, who were originally on the sidelines, now all rushed in.
This is Mrs. Shan, who was personally conferred the title by the emperor, and this is the Shanfang. It seems that Mrs. Shan helped the people a lot during the plague.
