Chapter 317: Grand Opening (4)_1
All preparations were ready, just waiting for the opening day.
Early that day, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Jiaxin rose early and both changed into new clothes that Lin Yuan had prepared for them in advance. Lady Liu also put on the jewelry Lin Jiaxin had bought for her on their last trip to town, and with her well-maintained appearance, she looked even more radiant, causing Lin Jiaxin to stare in awe.
Lin Wei and Xiao Linshuang were dressed in tender pink short jackets and skirts, charming and cute. As the shopkeeper of the store, Lin Yuan wore a bright red short jacket and skirt of the same color, embroidered with gold thread outlining the auspicious peony. This was specially custom-made for her by Mo Sanniang, as peonies symbolize wealth, and she needed good luck for her new store opening.
After breakfast, the family hurriedly boarded the carriage, ready to head to Zhuma Town.
Since they had been using Fuman Building’s carriage, Lin Yuan felt quite guilty, so she planned to buy the carriage from Shopkeeper Liu.
But when Shopkeeper Liu heard this, his legs nearly buckled with fright. He knew perfectly well about Lin Yuan’s and Xia Zheng’s relationship from what Liuzi had told him, and if the Young Master found out he was taking silver from his future mother-in-law for personal items, his job wouldn’t be needed anymore.
After much persuasion, Shopkeeper Liu finally convinced Lin Yuan not to pay for the carriage, citing it was the Young Master’s private property.
Lady Liu was not in good health, and with several people in the carriage, Lin Yi had already removed the seats inside and laid down thick quilts, as well as prepared pillows and cushions. Thus, when Lin Yuan’s family sat inside, they wouldn’t be too tired.
Lin Yi’s driving skills were significantly better than Liuzi’s; traveling for two hours, the ride was not bumpy at all. Seeing that Lady Liu was sleeping soundly in the carriage and didn’t feel tired, Lin Yuan finally relaxed.
