In the blink of an eye, it was the opening day.

There were drums and gongs and firecrackers blasting on East Street.

Sihai Silk Shop, which has been renovated for more than a month, has reopened. Just looking from the outside, you can see that the layout inside has completely changed.

After the lively sound of firecrackers, Manager Liu stood at the door and unveiled a brand new sign, revealing a few large words - Juli Clothing Store.

For a moment, the people watching were talking and giving orders.

“What does a clothing store sell?”

"Never heard of it? It doesn't look like a place selling fabrics. Look, there are flowers and tables and chairs inside. Could it be a teahouse?"

Amid the discussion, Manager Liu stood at the door and bowed to the onlookers, "Thank you all for your attention to our shop. From today on, our Sihai Silk Shop has been transformed into a clothing store. A clothing store is a store that specializes in selling clothes and skirts. However, all the clothes in our store are unique. Not only in the entire Shangjing City, but also in the whole country, there will be no similar styles."

"It sounds amazing! There won't be another one like it in the whole of Shangjing!"

"Hey, the fabrics used to be brought back from other places. The carpet I saw last time was made of such beautiful fabric!"

Manager Liu reached out his hand to stop everyone from discussing this, and then continued, "Today, our store will only accept female relatives who have received invitations, and we have also prepared a special exhibition for everyone."

"Starting tomorrow, our store will only accept 50 customers per day. You can come in advance to queue up or make an appointment."

At once, the people gathered at the gate dispersed. Not far away, there were several horse-drawn carriages. They were all people whose families had received the invitations sent by Lu Tingxu, and they came here for the sake of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion.

Dozens of women came into the store one after another.

There were no counters or shelves in the lobby, and the silk fabrics and other things that were there before were all gone.

Instead, there were twenty neatly arranged desks and armchairs, with tea and snacks placed on the desks.

In the middle of the desk, there is a wooden platform about three feet above the ground, covered with red velvet. At the end of the wooden platform are layers of gauze curtains, and colorful flowers are placed around it.

The whole store is filled with the scent of honey, mixed with various floral and tea scents. The fragrances are too many and too chaotic, making people feel dizzy.

Those who came today were the wives of some officials from the capital, and the one with the highest rank in the family was the daughter of the Imperial Censor, Lu Qingqing.

As soon as Lu Qingqing entered the door, she couldn't help but frowning. The decorations in this store were so numerous and complicated that she wanted to cover her nose with a handkerchief just standing at the door.

When many noble ladies entered the store and saw Yan Liu coming out to greet the guests, those who originally did not know her identity thought she was Lin, the young lady of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. However, when they saw that her hair was still in a bun like a young girl and she was not dressed like a woman, they were not sure of her identity for a moment.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yan Liu. All the clothes in this store are designed by me personally." Yan Liu stood in front of everyone confidently, imitating Lin Wan, putting on airs and smiling proudly.

"Yan Liu? Who is this? Isn't the surname of the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion Lin?"

"Her surname is Lin, and she is the daughter of the Lin family, the Minister of Rites."

"Who is this then? Is he the steward?"

"How can a steward be dressed so well? I don't even have the hairpin she wears."

Several noble ladies stood by and talked among themselves, but no one responded to Yan Liu.

"Are you the girl that Master Lu bought from the brothel at a high price?" Lu Qingqing frowned and looked at Yan Liu with disdain.

The noble ladies present were all stunned. After all, they were all daughters of officials. If it wasn't for the face of the Marquis' Mansion, who would come to join in the fun? But now, the Marquis' Mansion actually let a prostitute receive them!

This is simply too much!

Yan Liu didn't expect that someone actually knew her identity and pointed it out directly. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but she never thought that she was inferior to these ancient women who had never seen the world just because she came from a brothel, so she smiled immediately.

"We can't choose where we are born, but we can learn our own skills. Although I have worked in a brothel, I know a lot of things. I promise to open your eyes today."

Lu Qingqing laughed, "Of course, we don't know what you can do."

Yan Liu was a little irritated by the mockery in her tone, but thinking that today was the first step in her business journey, she couldn't get angry.

She told herself to be patient in her heart. She was a civilized person who had seen high technology and would not bother with these feudal-minded women.

After finally calming herself down, Yan Liu continued to smile and said, "Ladies, don't be angry yet. I promise that the fashion show will bring you surprises. Let's take a moment, and the fashion show will start soon."

"Oh, fine. Now that we're here, I want to see what surprises you can come up with."

Lu Qingqing said disdainfully, and took the seat at the front. The others also sat down one by one.

When hearing Yan Liu's name, many people remembered her identity. More or less, they all had older brothers or younger brothers who were good friends with Lu Tingxu, so when Lu Tingxu sent invitations, he would think of sending them first.

It was also for this reason that, in order not to lose face for Lu Tingxu, many people were begged by their brothers to come.

They had also heard about this magical Yan Liu from their brothers, and also heard about Lu Tingxu and Zheng Qianjin redeeming the person, so they were all curious about what kind of extraordinary woman this was.

With such curiosity, everyone began to wait for the fashion show to begin.

After a while, the sound of a piano came from behind the veil, and a woman came out wearing a dress they had never seen before.

Each edge of the skirt is like a petal, with layers of yellow lace sewn on it. The big pink skirt is spread out layer by layer, inlaid with colorful bows. The sleeves gradually widen from the shoulders to the cuffs, and are sewn with flowers made of gauze.

The important thing is that the woman's hair is tied up high, with a pink gauze hat on top. In her hand, she holds an umbrella, which is made of white gauze with large pink roses embroidered on it.

The woman, wearing this dress, walked in front of the crowd, turned around and then went back.

Yan Liu looked at everyone's surprised expressions with a smug look on her face. "Right, I told you that no one can resist a Lolita outfit. I told you to look down on me. Just wait for your slap in the face."

Before everyone could react, a second woman came out from behind the curtain.

This time, everyone was more surprised, but also furious at the same time.

Because the dress the woman was wearing was a tube-top long dress, without any inner layer, just a green tube-top, with her shoulders and arms exposed, and she was wearing a light green gauze dress, which could not cover her body at all.

What's even more outrageous is that when the woman walked, everyone noticed that her legs were faintly visible from the edge of her skirt.

The ladies present all blushed with shame and were speechless.

Lu Qingqing threw the tea bowl on the table at the feet of the woman on the stage: "It's immoral! How dare you wear this kind of clothes in public? It's simply too much!"

With her leading the way, the other noble ladies stood up and threw the tea, snacks on the table onto the stage.

Suddenly the whole store was in chaos.
