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 a name in two days, our embroidery shop will be plaqueless . ” Mu Yunyao gave a “I’ll leave it all up to you” expression to Su Qing before lowering her head to continue her embroidery work .
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 mon 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 e up with their shop’s name, so Su Qing could take her time .
