Chapter 76
Chapter 76
Out of the ten female disciples, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were the most talented. Mu Yunyao got the two of them to help her ready the ornaments. For the remaining disciples, she gave two of the smarter ones silver to help her buy thread and cloths. The rest were given other different types of jobs. Everyone was busy.
Except for Su Qing.
As Su Qing helped Mu Yunyao cut the thread, she said in an oppressed tone, "Yao Er, do you need Mother to help you embroider some things?"
Mu Yunyao stopped her movements. She looked at Su Qing’s expression and her heart felt like it was squeezed as a result. It was all her fault; she had forgotten about Mother. "Mother, didn’t I say before, you are our shop’s Shopkeeper. Have you thought of our name yet?"
"Mother does not really know how to pick a good name……," Su Qing shook her head quickly.
"Even after we pick out a name. It would still take about two weeks to get it done into a plaque. If Mother does not think up
Su Qing stood up and walked around the room for a while before clapping her hands. "I remembered that we had just bought a huge stack of books the other day. I will go and take a look to see if there are any good ideas in them. "
Mu Yunyao chuckled as she nodded her head. "Yes, books are a good place to start. "
Su Qing gave her a look before she walked out and carried a stack of books back into the room. She started to carefully flip through the pages and scan the words. Mu Cheng had taught her how to read, so she was able to recognise a big portion of the words. Except, she needed to find a name that would fit their embroidery shop, which is no easy task.
"Yao Er, what do you think about Cai Xia Shop?"
(T/N: ‘Cai Xia’ means rosy clouds.)
"Alright, that sounds pretty good," Mu Yunyao nodded her head. However, before she could finish, Su Qing immediately cut her off.
"No, no good. Doesn’t it sound too much like Colour Moon Shop? That Shopkeeper of theirs is too eccentric and he obviously views you as his enemy. We can’t have too much in common with that Colour Moon Shop. Then what about Ru Chun Shop?"
"Mm. Not bad either. "
(T/N: I translated Colour Moon Shop from ‘Cai Yue’, which does indeed look like ‘Cai Xia’.)
"No way, no can do. This ‘Chun’ is such an unlucky word. That Spring Embroidery was so unlucky to the point that their business failed. "
(T/N: Spring Embroidery was translated from ‘Chun Xiu Fang’. Which also does sound like ‘Ru Chun Shop’. My goodness, Su Qing.)
Mu Yunyao burst into laughter. In reality, she was in no hurry to come up with their shop’s name, so Su Qing could take her time.
