The servant relayed the message and then left immediately.
Fang Hao got up and did quick grooming.
He took out the prepared clothes from the Book of Lords.
After all, he was going to the City Lord’s mansion. He had to dress up decently.
After grooming, he went to the next room, woke up the sleepy Anjia, had dinner in the first-floor hall, and then headed to the City Lord’s mansion.
The City Lord’s mansion, the back courtyard.
“Sir, it’s just ahead.” The City Lord’s mansion’s servant led the way in front.
The two went along the flower-lined path, gradually entering deep into the courtyard.
Past the path, there was a beautiful pond in front of them, with beautiful flowers clustering around the pool, butterflies and birds circling and fluttering around, and they wouldn’t be frightened even if someone passed by.
Rebecca was sitting on a white rocking chair next to the mirror-like pool, reading a book in the sunshine.
The rocking chair was rocking, the white gauzy skirt, and fair bare feet, gently following the ripples.
Who could resist such a woman?
“Madam, Mr. Fang Hao has arrived.” The servant spoke softly.
Rebecca put the book aside and looked at Fang Hao.
“Did you arrive last night?”
“Yes, Mrs Rebecca.” Fang Hao answered with a smile.
Rebecca stood up, bare feet touching the grass, and said, “The sample dress has been completed? Let me see, I hope your design has perfectly come to life.”
“Of course.”
Fang Hao took out the sample dress and stood aside.
A maid came forward and undressed Rebecca.
The fair and full-bodied figure was exposed, full of charm.
Fang Hao smiled, looking openly and uprightly, took in the sight with great pleasure.
She put on the sample dress.
Rebecca walked to the edge of the pool, looking at her reflection in the water, carefully observing.
The blue gown, tightly wrapped around her body, showed off the beautiful lines of a woman’s body.
Her beautiful neck, full, tender arms like lotus roots, were bare from the sleeveless dress, even though there was not any jewelry, it was already amazingly beautiful.
The tight gown raised her full breasts, extraordinarily full.
The round buttocks made the slight tightness at the waist stand out, showing off the curvy waist-to-hip lines.
Especially the daring miniskirt design in front, matched with white stockings, added a few sexy points to the dignified and elegant lady of the city.
She had originally intended to make some suggestions, but seeing the dress reflected in the water.
She was afraid that her lack of expertise would affect the effect of the dress.
This was only a sample dress, and she was already very satisfied with it.
She noticed that Fang Hao was also looking at her, and she turned around with a smile and asked, “How about it? Are there any needed modifications?”
Compared to herself, she trusted Fang Hao’s opinion more at this time.
“It’s perfect, Mrs. Rebecca. It makes you even more enchanting.” Fang Hao praised.
Rebecca’s usually reserved face turned a little red, she rolled her eyes at the young man with black hair in front of her and laughed again, “I have to be careful then, don’t let your preferences change, or I’ll be in trouble.”
There was a cloth merchant in town with a great design concept.
This merchant had a man’s body but a woman’s heart.
He loved everything about women, including handsome men.
The previous times, the dresses were designed by this merchant for Rebecca.
Fang Hao just smiled and did not offer further explanation.
At this time, a servant holding a large mirror came over and stood it on the grass.
Rebecca was looking at herself in the mirror while casually saying, “I heard that you opened a restaurant in Pruell City.”
Fang Hao was slightly baffled, it looked like Rebecca had arranged for someone to investigate him.
At the same time, he also started to feel nervous, wondering if his ‘effeminate’ act would be exposed.
But soon this worry was dismissed, as if he was exposed, Rebecca would have shown some reaction.
She probably just asked some merchants or someone about him and did not conduct a detailed investigation.
Acting as a cloth merchant, he wouldn’t have been investigated by a spy.
“Yes.”
“How’s business?” Rebecca was asking casually, just like chatting about everyday matters.
“Not bad, there are quite a few customers.”
“You are quite an imaginative young man,” Rebecca praised.
Fang Hao, being so young, not only designs clothing that is novel and bold, but also runs a successful restaurant.
“Thank you for your praise, Mrs. Rebecca. If I open a shop in Lyss in the future, I hope you will give me your advice,” Fang Hao replied politely.
“Of course. I can see that you are a capable young man, and Lyss welcomes capable people,” Rebecca continued.
“Thank you, ma’am. I was wondering if there are any shops for sale on the business street. If there are, I would like to take a look today,” Fang Hao said directly.
The sooner he could open a shop, the better.
He didn’t want to continue to delay.
Rebecca looked at Fang Hao with curiosity, taking her gaze away from the mirror.
She had not expected him to be in such a rush, wanting to look at shops today.
“Someone,” Rebecca called out softly.
A maid hurried over, “Madam.”
“Yes, check if there are any shops for sale on the business street.”
“Yes, madam,” the maid agreed and quickly left.
As the lady of the City Lord of Lyss, Rebecca had conveniences that Fang Hao did not have.
No matter how cunning the merchants were, even if they had great courage, they would not dare to provoke the City Lord’s Mansion, especially a woman.
Seeing the maid leave, Fang Hao thanked her again, “Thank you, Mrs. Rebecca.”
“No problem, it’s just a small matter. I also hope that you can open a shop in Lyss City as it will be more convenient,” Rebecca said with a smile.
The two continued to chat about fashion design.
Before long, the maid returned.
After bowing again, she said: “Madam, there is a shop on the business street that has registered the sale with the City Lord’s Mansion.”
“Well, take him to see it later,” Rebecca said.
She was very satisfied with Fang Hao’s sample clothes, which put her in a good mood.
She naturally wanted to help Fang Hao with this small favor.
The maid helped her take off the sample dress, folded it gently, and handed it to Fang Hao.
“Goodbye, Mrs. Rebecca, the finished dress will be delivered to you as soon as it is made,” Fang Hao said softly.
Rebecca nodded and smiled, then lazily sat back in her rocking chair.
The maid led Fang Hao out of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Outside, Anjia, who had been waiting all along, was eating a pastry she had bought from a street vendor.
When she saw Fang Hao, she quickly followed.
“Where are we going now?”
“To look at the shop.”
“What’s wrong with your throat? It sounds so strange,” Anjia asked curiously.
Fang Hao glanced at the maid who was averting her gaze, made a few hand signals to Anjia, urging her to stop talking.
The maid led them to a carriage and headed to the business street.
They passed many streets.
There were many people coming and going on the business street, and there were many shops lined up, as well as numerous street vendors.
The carriage stopped in the central area, and the three of them got off.
“Mr. Fang Hao, this is the registered shop. It used to be a very successful tavern,” said the maid.
The building in front of them was a three-story stone building.
All the shops on this street had a unified design and structure.
“Then why didn’t it continue to operate?”
“Because of some special reasons, the owner of the shop was arrested, and the shop is now being sold by the City Lord’s Mansion,” the maid took out a key and opened the door to the shop.
Both Fang Hao and Anjia entered the shop for inspection.
The items in the shop had been cleared out, and the floor was littered with stuffs.
He pulled out a poster-like sheet of paper from the cluttered counter. On it was a colorful image of a naked woman.
She was posing in a provocative style.
It seems that the business that this shop was running previously was quite diverse.
“I will take this shop.”
