Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 216 Confucianism and Taoism Struggle ([-])

"But sister, didn't you just say that our place is too remote? Ladies and gentlemen probably won't come to patronize you." Yun Shu asked uncertainly.

"It's true, as long as the wall is not demolished, no matter what we do in this shop, we will only lose money." Chu Ningyan pointed to the wall outside, and said firmly, but there was no hint of disappointment on her brows.

"So, we can only go out and find customers."

"Oh." Yun Shu seemed to understand. "Isn't that similar to a salesman?"

Chu Ningyan shook her head, "Of course it's different. When we were in the prefect's mansion, we used to ask people from Xiuzhuang to come to measure and make clothes for all seasons every year."

"Oh, so we're going to be an embroidery shop?"

Chu Ningyan thought for a while, "It's kind of like, I have to hire an embroiderer, a tailor. Huh~, our money is too little. I don't know how much money to hire an embroiderer."

"The shop also needs to be repaired." Chu Ningyan and her stepmother had also been to the embroidery village before, and the layout of the embroidery village was quite different from that of the restaurant.Although it is said that no one comes here, but the owner of the shop must not be too shabby, at least let the neighbors see if they are right.

"By the way, Yun Shu opens the door a little more." Although Chu Ningyan had been concentrating on writing and thinking, she could clearly feel the scrutiny from outsiders.

"Sister, those people always look at us." Yun Shu whispered.

"It's okay, let them see it. It's really curious to come to this house that hasn't been owned for a long time and suddenly live there."

"Ok."

As soon as the door was opened, there were fewer prying people.Chu Ningyan raised her eyebrows, thinking of a truth, the more she hides it, the more curious she becomes.

With less eyes to look at, Chu Ningyan became more comfortable doing things, and soon drew several more pictures.She is actually a little strange, obviously her previous drawing skills were poor, but now she can draw so many beautiful characters and clothes, and the drawing is extremely smooth, as if imprinted in her bones.

As she drew, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

When Zhou Qi came to No. 10, West Fourth Alley, what he saw was such a picture. The girl was sitting by the door, with her head bowed and her long neck exposed, her mouth was smiling, her eyes were moving, exuding the unique atmosphere of a girl.

The snow-white wrist was secretly exposed due to the excessive movement of the hand.Glittering against the sun.

Zhou Qi just stood by the door and stared at it.

"Brother Zhou? What are you doing standing here? Isn't this at No. 10, West Fourth Lane?" The person who came with Zhou Qi gave him a strange push and followed Zhou Qi's line of sight, so , there was one more person who was stunned.

"Brother Yuanxing? Why are you here?" Chu Ningyan heard the voice and recognized it. When she found out that it was Zhou Qi, she hurriedly put down her pen.He lifted his skirt and went out.

"Oh, sister Ningyan." Zhou Qi came back to his senses, with a gentle smile on his face. "I have settled down in the army. Because I miss you, I asked the superior for two hours' leave."

When Chu Ningyan heard this, she felt a little hesitant, how should she answer this?In the end, he returned in a normal manner, "Thank you, Brother Yuanxing, for your concern."

Just as Zhou Qi wanted to say something, the people next to him couldn't help it, "Ahem!"

Chu Ningyan saw that this was also a tall and strong young man with wheat-colored skin and wearing ordinary clothes, but he looked heroic.

The martial energy on his body was stronger than Zhou Qi's.

"Who is this?"

"Hello, Miss Ningyan. I am Zhou Qi's comrade-in-arms, Ji Ying, and I have no ambiguity. Girls can call me Brother Ji." Ji Ying (yǐng) said boldly.Alas, no wonder Zhou Qi is thinking about Xiaoqingmei, if I have this Qingmei, I will think about it all day long!

"Hi Mr. Ji, little girl Chu Ningyan." Chu Ningyan nodded politely, and invited the two of them into the shop.

"I'm really sorry, I just moved in yesterday, and the room is still a little rough." Chu Ningyan led the two of them to sit at another table, and asked Yun Shu to prepare tea and snacks.

"Sit down and rest, both of you, and I'll clean it up." Chu Ningyan pointed to the table by the door, which was full of things and a little messy.

"Sister Ningyan, let me help you." Zhou Qi just sat down and stood up again.Chu Ningyan really couldn't refuse, so she could only let him go.

"Sister Ningyan, your painting skills have improved a lot!" Zhou Qi's eyes sparkled.

"Brother Yuan Xing is joking, it's just a waste of hard work and hard work." Chu Ningyan wasn't guilty at all.Although I don't know why my painting skills have improved so much, but after all, it is my own thing, and there is no problem with my memory.She only attributed these to God's compensation for her, and she didn't want to think about any more.

"Yes, sister Ningyan is the smartest." Zhou Qi nodded in agreement. "However, why did my sister draw so many pictures of ladies?"

Chu Ningyan didn't hide it either, "I want to open a ready-made clothing store to make tailor-made clothes for people. Brother Yuanxing, take a look at these clothes, do they look good?"

She looked at Zhou Qi expectantly with a smile.

"This...Sister Ningyan, you were raised in a deep boudoir since childhood, and you have never been in business...Why don't you think about it, although my current salary is low, I can...also support you." Zhou Qi At first, he disagreed, but then he blushed when he said it.

Chu Ningyan suppressed the anticipation on her face, and still smiled and said, "Brother Yuan Xing's intentions, I understand, survival in this world is difficult, and it is even more difficult for women."

"then you……"

"It's just that I don't want to be trapped in the back house, and I don't want to entrust my family and life to another person." Chu Ningyan looked at him seriously, "Just like this time..."

"I want to have my own business and be my own reliance."

Zhou Qi was captured by the firmness in Chu Ningyan's eyes, he recovered for a long time, concealed the discomfort in his heart, and smiled helplessly, "Forget it, do what you want, don't worry, I will always be by your side."

Chu Ningyan frowned slightly, why does this Zhou Qi always say something that people misunderstand?Didn't I just say it clearly enough.Forget it, he is also kind.

"Brother Zhou, you are wrong. Miss Chu has such ambition, so you should support her. How can you say something depressing." Ji Ying walked over and patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder with one hand. With a "snap", Chu Ningyan felt pain when she heard it.

Zhou Qi gasped, but in order to maintain his image, he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Is this Miss Chu's painting?" Ji Ying picked up a painting, his eyes brightened slightly, "It's really wonderful and pretty!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ji, for your compliment." Chu Ningyan smiled, she liked to hear compliments from others.There is no humility to say that I still need to hone more.

In her subconscious mind, her paintings are definitely handy.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that Yun Shu had come out from behind with a tray, and quickly put away the drawing paper and put it in the book. "Brother Yuanxing, Mr. Ji, the tea has been made, you should take your seats first."

Zhou Qi and Ji Ying looked at the empty hands with sadness.

"Ahem, Ms. Chu, I think that instead of such a tailor shop, you might as well open a painting workshop. Presumably there will be many people visiting."

"what?"
