Chapter 1008: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1008: Shu Yu, Disdained
After tidying up the counter and cleaning the floor, Shu Yu settled down behind the counter.
It was still early in the morning, so there wouldn't be much business.
It wasn't until the end of the morning hour that the old lady arrived with Hua Xian. Only then did a few customers trickle in.
When the customers saw Shu Yu behind the counter, they were momentarily taken aback.
Those who had been to the shop a few times knew that the current shopkeeper was Lu Xiangjun's sister. They were very willing to interact with this easygoing and friendly young lady.
But today, Lu Xiangjun's wasn't there, and a stranger was sitting behind the counter.
Yes, in fact, there were very few people who had seen Shu Yu and knew her identity.
The three words "Lu Xiangjun" were more famous than herself.
Shu Yu didn't bother introducing herself. It wasn't busy at the moment, and Hua Xian had already taken the carriage to attend to the customers.
Seeing her handling things well and with Ying Xi assisting on the side, the old lady told Shu Yu to stay put and continue sitting.
"You've been busy lately, going here and there. You hardly get any rest. It's rare for you to sit behind the counter and relax. The rest of us can handle the workload."
Shu Yu obediently sat there.
But after a while, two people came in for makeup.
Just as Shu Yu was about to stand up, the two people immediately declined when they saw that she wasn't Shu You.
They had heard that the shopkeeper Lu had gone to the capital and wouldn't be back for a few days. They expressed their regret and said they would come back in a few days before leaving.
Shu Yu was a bit confused—my skills are pretty good, hey!
The old lady couldn't help but chuckle. "They don't know you. How would they know that all the skills of the talented young lady are taught by you? Moreover, even if they knew you, they wouldn't dare let you do their makeup. After all, you're now the village lord."
Shu Yu had some doubts. "Grandmother, am I here to help my sister attract business or scare off customers?"
The old lady finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter, causing others in the shop to turn their heads and look at them.
Although they didn't know why the old lady was laughing, the joy was infectious.
Shu Yu felt somewhat helpless and sat back down.
Fortunately, more customers came soon, but this time they weren't there to buy clothes or get their makeup done. They were making appointments.
Shu Yu was taken aback. Appointments?
Appointments for what?
When she asked, the customer was surprised. "You don't know? I'm here to make an appointment with the shopkeeper Lu to do bridal makeup."
Shu Yu's eyes brightened. Had her sister already received a bridal makeup order?
She didn't have time to think much about it. She quickly wrote down the customer's information, wedding date, and some basic questions in her notebook.
The customer initially thought that Shu Yu didn't even know about bridal makeup and found her unreliable.
However, Shu Yu's subsequent serious and meticulous actions reassured her. She only said to come back the day before the wedding to confirm with the shopkeeper Lu before leaving.
As soon as the customer left, the old lady said to Shu Yu, "This bridal makeup appointment is a stroke of luck. Some time ago, a couple was about to get married, but the elder who was supposed to do the bride's makeup fell ill the day before and couldn't even get out of bed. It was difficult to find a suitable replacement, and no one knew who to ask. Someone mentioned that the shopkeeper Lu from Yiren Pavilion has excellent skills and can create beautiful and delicate makeup. If they can find her, it might leave the groom unable to take his eyes off the bride once he lifts the veil."
