Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 175 - 173: Where Did You Go Wrong? (8th Update)

And right now, what Lin Yi was about to do was similar, he was determined to fashion this store into a top-tier luxury brand of the contemporary world.

And up to this moment, his endeavors were undoubtedly correct and exceedingly perfect.

Now, it can be said that the entire Capital City was abuzz with the legend of their establishment; one could say everyone was filled with curiosity about this place.

While the crowd continued to spectate, they saw that Master Mo showed no signs of stopping and began to write anew in the blank spaces.

After a short while, the phrase "Opening Countdown: 30 Days" once again appeared before the onlookers.

Although nobody understood what this sentence meant, it didn’t stop them from admiring it.

It must be said that Master Mo’s calligraphic skill was indeed remarkable; the characters he penned were truly beautiful and swiftly captivated everyone present.

Some individuals with ulterior motives even thought that if they could stealthily take away the cloth with the written characters, its value would unquestionably be immeasurable.

But when they saw the Soldiers around them holding sharp blades, they silently buried that thought deep in their hearts, daring not to reveal the slightest intention.

Wealth is indeed important, but when compared with life, it pales in significance.

After finishing writing these characters, Master Mo returned, laughing and talking with the young man.

What shocked everyone was that Master Mo was clearly very respectful when facing the young man.

This made them even more perplexed, all speculating about who this young man could be.

Could it possibly be the progeny of some Prince?

After all, the current Emperor had yet to have any offspring, so naturally, it could not be the Emperor’s son.

And someone with such a significant procession could only be one of the Princes.

But even if those Princes came personally, Master Mo would not likely show such courtesies, right?

Let alone the children of those Princes?

Yet, the news of this event quickly spread throughout Capital City.

The incident of calligraphy Master Mo personally writing the inscription spread at lightning speed throughout the entire Literary Circle of Capital City.

This prompted many literary scholars to flock to this location.

They just wanted to witness Master Mo’s authentic work.

To worship it respectfully, to copy it meticulously.

Thus, it caused the storefront to become surrounded by people in less than a few hours.

And looking at these people, each one was dressed with refined elegance.

Even in this slightly chilly autumn, every one of them held a folding fan in their hands, claiming to be the epitome of suaveness.

Of course, there were also scholars from poor families among them.

Although they wore simple cotton and ragged clothes, they held writing brushes and bamboo slips in their hands.

Their gazes fixed intently on the large characters, their hands began to copy the writing non-stop.

With the increase in crowd, Lin Yi had no choice but to deploy more manpower, ordering more Soldiers to patrol the perimeter.

After the promotion by these literary scholars, the establishment’s fame grew even more.

Originally, in this ancient society, these literary scholars naturally held a higher status, unreachable for the poor.

Thus, after their commotion, this place even more so became the subject of imaginative storytelling.

It also elevated the status of this place in people’s hearts.

Lin Yi was quite satisfied with these developments, seen from his perspective.

This was precisely the effect he desired.

However, the very next day, Master Mo emerged again from the courtyard.

Then, amidst the exclamations of a crowd of literati, he walked straight to the cloth where "Opening Countdown: 30 Days" was written.

Following that, under everyone’s watchful gaze, Master Mo had the cloth taken down and promptly replaced with a new one.

With onlookers puzzled, they witnessed Master Mo once again flourishing his brush.

In a moment’s work, a new line of large characters appeared on this cloth.

"Opening Countdown: 29."

It was at this moment that everyone seemed to have an epiphany.

Could the "29" following "Opening Countdown" be referring to the number of days?

Meaning, there were still 29 days until this store officially opens for business.

This undoubtedly made everyone even more anticipatory, they truly wished they could go and change that number to one, to see the shop open tomorrow.

Of course, all of this was naturally impossible.

Yet, this act of treating Master Mo as if he were a servant, coming here promptly every day to replace the cloth, also caused much confusion among the literary students.

After making all arrangements clear here, Lin Yi did not linger for long but instead directly led his people back into the mountains of Nanshan.

The glass workshop there was nearly complete, and at this moment, preparations to summon those foreigners were underway.

However, before meeting with those foreigners, Lin Yi still had specific arrangements to make at the workshop site.

When he rushed back to Nanshan, he saw that the row of supply courtyards in Nanshan had already been finished.

With that, the mirror workshop within was also officially in operation under Gou Shengzi’s leadership, who was overseeing a group of workers.

What Lin Yi did not expect was the capability of Gou Shengzi and others; within just several days, they had already produced an entire large wooden box of mirrors.

With a cursory glance, Lin Yi could roughly estimate that the wooden box contained no less than a thousand mirrors.

From this, it was evident that this group of people had not slacked off at all and were working day and night.

Upon seeing this wooden box of mirrors, Lin Yi immediately called Gou Shengzi over and told them that there was no need to continue making this type of mirror for now.

Upon hearing this, Gou Shengzi was startled and thought he had done something wrong, so he immediately fell to his knees in front of Lin Yi:

"Sir, Gou Shengzi knows he has erred, please punish me."

This act surprised Lin Yi, and he looked at the other party with some confusion before exclaiming:

"What is your mistake? Have you done anything behind my back recently?"

As he asked this question, Lin Yi’s brow furrowed.

He started to doubt his own judgment; could it be that he really misjudged the person?

Was Gou Shengzi, who appeared simple and honest, actually committing some wrong behind his back?

Or was this fellow secretly hiding some mirrors?

In any case, whatever this guy had done, it was a denial of Lin Yi’s judgment.

This would also make him reevaluate the people of the present.

However, as he asked these questions, not only was he bewildered, Gou Shengzi was even more at a loss:

"I, I, I, I don’t know what I did wrong."
