Opening
Editor: Henyee Translations
On the eighth day of the ninth month, the weather was clear. It was suitable to marry, enter the house, and open for business.
Early in the morning, the Gu family tidied themselves up in high spirits. Other than Gu Dajiang, who was still going to the academy, everyone else went to Gu's Shop on Dahui Road.
At the same time, many people in the city rubbed their palms together and prepared. The fliers clearly stated that if they spent a tael of silver, they could receive a bag of dried fruits for free.
One tael of silver was not a lot to many people in the prefectural city. Even if they did not have it, some smart people wanted to pool it together with others. If each of them bought a little, they would be able to get a bag of dried fruits.
Among them was Madam Sun, the neighbor of the Su family.
