Bai Yujun was very satisfied with the new shop.
The sky was overcast, and the hour was unknown. The meticulously crafted pavilion had lanterns lit one by one. She had originally planned to set up some glittering flashing lights, but later decided they were too vulgar and would disgrace refinement, so she gave up on the idea. A few spotlights might still be worth considering.
Dressed in a scarlet gown, Bai Yujun sought auspiciousness in all things and carefully calculated the time, confirming that it was a lucky hour.
"Fat Head, hurry up and help me get things ready. If we miss the hour, I'll dock three months of your wages!"
"?"
Fat Tiger froze at those words. He actually had wages?
With a shake of his fur, he transformed into the size of an ordinary tiger.
Dazed, he picked up the sacks in his mouth and followed his lord into the shop. They stepped up white jade stairs and entered. The first floor was lofty and spacious. A table of some unknown wood stood in the place of honor, surrounded by empty antique display shelves of various sizes. Staircases on either side led to the second floor. Lanterns drifted about, and the jade tiles beneath their feet carried faint streaks of gold.
Fat Tiger made several trips, carrying all the sacks into the first floor, while Bai Yujun busily arranged the merchandise, seemingly in an excellent mood.
After moving the sacks, Fat Tiger turned into Fat Head Cat and sprawled by the entrance, watching his lord bustle about with blazing enthusiasm.
Bai Yujun was especially lazy. She certainly would not arrange the goods personally.
Sitting atop the desk, she idly swung her legs. A pair of rosewood slippers swayed back and forth, smacking against her soles with crisp slaps.
