Song Xiangsi was so stifled that she was almost unable to breathe after he pulled her into his embrace. She pushed him aside and slapped him angrily, "Hurry up and sleep. I can still work in the morning."

When she thought of this, she felt stifled in her heart. Normally, a person like him, who was usually confined to bed, would never sleep until noon until his butt was basked in the sunlight. But now, in order to survive, he had to drive to the county town to work every day before dawn.

Just thinking about it, Song Xiangsi felt that these days were unspeakably tough. Originally, Qiu Lingdi wanted to find a place for her to stay at the back of the store, but Song Xiangsi refused.

Meng Huaxuan raised an eyebrow, wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her into his arms once more. He then collapsed onto the bed, the corners of his mouth curving up into a smile.

Song Xiangsi grew anxious. She pushed him with her hands and legs, "You should go to your room if you want to rest. Come sleep here no matter what."

Meng Ling Xuan held her tighter. He had already closed his eyes. He said in a deep, nasal voice, "Don't move. I pick you up every day. I'm too tired. Let me have a good rest."

Song Xiangsi sighed and did not push it anymore. She rolled her eyes, still wanting to make the final effort, she advised, "It is against the rules for you to sleep here, didn't you say that men and women cannot sleep alone in the same room? If it gets out, it will be bad for both of us."

These words of hers were exchanged for a sneer from Meng Ling Xuan. "Do you think that just because we don't share a room, those people won't gossip?"

Song Xiangsi choked and suddenly felt that what he said made sense. However, she heard Meng Ling Xuan hug her and say, "The left and right sides are already tied together. There's nothing to worry about. After all, others' opinions can't be treated as food."

Song Xiangsi could not help but roll her eyes. Just as she was about to push him, heavy breathing could be heard. It was obvious that she was fast asleep.

She glared at the man beside her. Then, thinking that he was really tired, she could only give up. She closed her eyes and found a comfortable place to fall asleep.

After another two days, it was the day the furniture shop was reopened. The door was covered with a large piece of red cloth, and before that, Qiu Lingpi had already sent out invitations everywhere. According to Song Xiangsi, he had previously hired people to distribute flyers everywhere, saying that the furniture was actually going to be replaced.

Everyone was curious as to what this furniture shop was up to. On the opening day, they rushed over to watch the commotion. Even before the opening ceremony, there were already a lot of people gathered at the entrance.

Song Xiangsi was already disguised as a man by Qiu Lingpi's side, making it easier for her to get in touch with customers.

A few days ago, she had specifically gone to the embroidery workshop to customize it. Although it was made from ordinary materials and had a very simple look in her eyes, her figure was pretty.

Previously, Qiu Lingpi had teased her and said that if she was a real man and he was going to give her a girl in the future, he would definitely betroth his child to her.

Song Xiangsi felt embarrassed. She did not expect herself to be in such a state where both men and women were able to eat each other. This father was really cheating his daughter.

However, Qiu Lingpi was not wrong. Song Xiangsi put on the clothes and stood before the door valiantly, attracting quite a few gazes.

Qiu Lingpi smiled and said a few auspicious words before getting the apprentice to set off the firecrackers. With a pull of the red cloth, the furniture shop was officially opened.

According to Song Xiangsi, all kinds of furniture that she had designed were laid out inside. Every single one of them was original, and the entire county was made up of only one piece.

Everyone ran inside and found it to be extremely strange, especially that strange chair which was shorter than their usual seats. It looked like a big ball and was quite soft. If not for the introduction provided by shopkeeper Qiu, everyone would have thought it was a pillow.

Because Shopkeeper Qiu had been in the county city all year round, he had made friends with many dignitaries. Today, the county magistrate had come to pay his respects. With a wide smile, he personally led the way in.

The county magistrate looked around and saw Song Xiangsi, who was standing beside Qiu Lingpi. Although she was dressed like a man, he still recognized her. When he thought of that mysterious letter from the Ascension Hall that day, he could not help but feel respectful towards Song Xiangsi.

"Hehe …" "Song …" He rolled his eyes and changed his words under Song Xiangsi's nervous gaze. "Why is Young Master Song here too?"

Qiu Lingpi was secretly surprised. He did not expect the county magistrate to be so courteous to Song Xiangsi, but he was a powerful person after all. He could not show a single trace of emotion on his face. He smiled and explained to Song Xiangsi.

"This is the designer of our store. She designed all these new furniture."

"Oh?" The county magistrate's face revealed a look of astonishment. He looked at Song Xiangsi with a slightly better expression than usual before praising her, "Young Master Song is indeed a talent."

Song Xiangsi laughed heartily as she calculated how she should get this rich county magistrate to help her with her performance.

As they talked, they unconsciously walked to the spring mattress placed in front of the shop. Song Xiangsi rolled her eyes and smiled at the county magistrate, "Try out this mattress. It's very comfortable lying on it."

Liu Qingping chuckled and felt that something wasn't right. "This …" "If I lie down, how can you all sell me off?"

"Don't worry about that. All the things in this shop are for customers to try. If the customers are comfortable, they can book them. After paying the deposit, they can deliver the items to your door in half a month."

The county magistrate nodded as he beamed with joy. Under Song Xiangsi's guidance, he did indeed lie down on the bed. This feeling was much softer than the mattress at home.

He immediately fell in love with this item and pulled Qiu Lingzhi to ask for the price. Song Xiangsi cut in with a smile, "It would have cost a hundred and fifty taels of silver just to order it, but since the county magistrate is here, we'll give you a discount. Fifty taels of silver should be enough, right, boss?"

She turned her head and winked at Qiu Lingzhi, who understood. Although she did not understand why she did so, she still agreed and said some pretty words to coax the county magistrate into laughing. She picked up a few items and Song Xiangsi gave him a 50% discount.

After the county magistrate had left, Qiu Lingpi pulled Song Xiangsi to a corner and frowned. He could not help but say, "You've given the county magistrate such a big discount, but you can't even get the capital back."

Song Xiangsi smiled and explained to him, "Most of the people who can enter the county magistrate's mansion are nobles. He took them back and used them comfortably, so he naturally had to tell them to others. The county magistrate's wife is the target of all the madams' flattery.
