Chapter 340 - 202 - It Really Is Him_2
For this reason, Qian Yixiu specifically gifted Liang Fu two sets of the "Moisturizing White Series" from the popular Liancourt Cosmetic range. Qian Fu was very pleased, as he knew that Liancourt produced high-end products. Even the popularized versions cost eight taels of silver each, which was beyond the reach of ordinary families.
On April 4th, Qian Yixiu returned to the backyard through the rear door of the shop. Everything was ready at Liancourt Boutique, and the embroidery piece had just been lifted to the second floor, although it hadn’t been unboxed yet.
When she came out, she saw only Benben squatting in the yard, staring at the sky, and after scanning the trees and rooftops, there was no sign of a monkey. She frowned and asked, "Where’s Monkey Brother?"
Benben barked twice towards the back door, indicating that Monkey Brother had gone out this way.
Cross, Qian Yixiu stamped her foot. Monkey Brother didn’t listen at all; he probably thought this was the countryside, where if you slipped away, you’d be in the mountains. Here, slipping away meant you’d be in someone else’s house. What if it caused trouble or some villain had designs on him?
Several children from the nearby houses had already come asking around, and they would sometimes loiter at the door, all because of that monkey’s antics.
Just as she was feeling discontent, Monkey Brother pushed the door open and came in.
Qian Yixiu was about to scold him when she saw him hurriedly pull her to the entrance of the courtyard. He made her stand still while he ran out a few steps, then back to the entrance to look around. He repeated this back-and-forth four times. Then he barked at her a few times and vigorously gestured upwards with his hands.
Qian Yixiu was pretty good at understanding his "monkey language" and was surprised as she asked, "Does Monkey Brother mean that a tall person has come to our front door and circled around four times?"
