While he was making his clothes, Song Xiangsi did not stay idle either. She spent money to have people post Guorui Pavilion's specialty magazine everywhere, and also composed songs from the poems written by Meng Huihuan as a picture book to let the children sing praises.

Therefore, the Gui Rui Pavilion had already become famous before it even opened. It was both fiery and mysterious. Many people stretched out their heads to look around, wanting to see what this newly opened shop looked like.

On the first day of April, on a very good day, the first batch of clothes just happened to have been completed. Song Xiangsi asked Lian'er and A-Jiao to help her put the clothes on the puppets and show them off.

On this day, her shop was a bit more remote, but on this day, it was not deserted. There were many people gathered at the entrance to watch the fun, including the nearby women, and a few rich young masters and young ladies. They brought their maidservants along to watch the fun, thinking that if the clothes were beautiful, they could buy two pieces and try them on.

Song Xiangsi was wearing a long, pink dress with a small, moon-white jacket. She looked happy and cute.

She had helped him do that. He had endured countless days and nights, and although it was not perfect, it was the heart of Red City, the precious treasure of Meng Liangxuan.

Zhou Xiufang was also intentionally wearing the clothes Song Xiusi had given her back then. They were low key and had their own meanings, causing the women to feel jealous and itchy at the same time. They also wanted to buy two pieces of clothes from the store and try them on themselves.

Lian'er and A-Jiao were standing next to Old Madame Zhou with a wide smile on their faces.

The entrance of the shop was covered with a layer of red cloth, which completely covered up the interior. The onlookers stretched out their necks, but they could not see anything. They were all looking forward to unveiling the cloth.

In just a short half an hour, the entrance was already surrounded by many people. Some of them were watching the show while others were buying clothes. They surrounded the entrance of the shop as they chattered on.

"I heard that each piece of clothing from the Regeneration Pavilion was designed by the Lady Boss herself and is unique. She definitely doesn't carry any weight. Once you buy the clothes from her house, you will no longer need to be afraid of bumping into others."

A few well-dressed little girls were gathered around to discuss. Looking at their clothes, they were also the daughters of the rich families in the city.

"Yes, I also want to take a look. I also heard that one of the embroidery ladies came back from the palace and is well-known in the capital. The two younger ones also came back from the city's embroidery workshop and are skilled craftsmen."

"It's so interesting to hear that every piece of clothing is accompanied by a poem."

The others also joined in to watch the commotion.

"Crack, crack, crack ~ ~ ~"

The firecrackers of the red flames rang out. Song Xiangsi spoke a few jili words to everyone before turning around to take off the cloth.

On the bodies of the thirty cloth puppets, there were all kinds of dresses of different colors, each with its own unique style.

It was early summer, and the girls all wanted to make new dresses.

Song Xiangsi had been greeting people passionately when she suddenly heard an ear-piercing voice from the crowd, "Stupid girl, you actually opened a shop in the city. You have the money to open a shop and have the money to honor your father, that's unreasonable!"

Her smile froze on her face. Following the direction of the voice, she saw the furious Song Dabao with an ugly expression.

"Why are you here?" She rushed over, but due to the gazes of the surrounding people, she could only lower her voice and ask.

However, Song Dabao wasn't scared at all. Not only did his voice not decrease in volume, he even shouted at the top of his lungs when he saw that she was worried, "Why do you think I'm here?"

"Humph — you damned girl, unfilial daughter. You have money and yet you don't honor me with your milk. You are actually opening shops in the city and have all kinds of pleasure. However, you know that your family can't even keep the pot boiling, and your milk is already lying on the brick bed due to hunger!"

Many of the surrounding people turned to look at them and started pointing their fingers at them.

"What's going on?"

"Yep, it looks like my daughter has grown up and is able to earn money. I don't care about the life and death of father and milk, I just came to visit."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. These days, there really are all kinds of people. This kind of unfilial grandson with a heart of darkness should be dragged to the yamen and closed for a few days."

The person who spoke was none other than the shop assistants of the other clothing stores in the county. At the same time that they came to watch the show, they were also trying to find out what was going on with the shop that had caused such a commotion.

He didn't expect to run into such a situation. Without any hesitation, he immediately added insult to injury and started discussing.

Originally, the onlookers did not understand what was going on, but after being led by these few people, they immediately started to think about that aspect. They shook their heads and sighed.

Such a beautiful little girl, yet her heart was so black!

Several women curled their lips and went to help each other out.

Song Xiangsi's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on everyone's reaction. She could not help but turn sullen, and her gaze towards Song Dabao was also faintly unfriendly as she asked angrily.

"What exactly do you want to do? "We've already split up, and I've already promised to give you one silver a month. What else do you want?"

Song Dabao curled his lips and said sloppily, "How can one tael of silver be enough? Look at you opening such a huge store, yet you only give me and you one tael of silver per month. Is that even worth it?"

He harrumphed and put on a shameless face, as if he had made up his mind not to leave.

Song Xiangsi gritted her teeth. Since the store was opening today, she did not want to be entangled with Song Dabao any longer. Since she had no other choice, she took out three silver horns from her sleeve and stuffed them into his hands.

"That's it. Do you want it or not?"

Song Dabao held the silver in his hand and looked at the clothes in the shop. He thought about the bracelet that Bai Yi had asked for and how it was worth thirty taels of silver.

"Hmph — you opened such a large store, yet you're only giving me three taels of silver. You're the one who sent me out to beg for food, I'm your father!"

As he spoke, he threw the silver in his hand to the ground. He wanted to make his lover happy, so he decided to give it his all. He slapped his own thigh and started to wail.

"How can my life be so bitter? I finally managed to raise my daughter into a child, and now that I took money from my family to do business, I'm actually not filial to two old girls. There's no justice in the world that can't feed wild men."

Saying that, he looked at the people around him and complained to them, "Everyone, take a look. I'm a black-hearted daughter, please review whether or not my daughter, whom I've painstakingly brought up, should be able to support me."

"I have an elderly mother, and her health isn't too good either. This little girl relied on the strength of a man to bully me. Today, she has to support me while everyone else is around."
