Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 389: Different from Before

Because the advertising was strong enough, the department store was extremely lively on its opening day.

Apart from free storytelling and opera, the items in the store were dazzling enough to captivate visitors.

A wide variety of things, all eye-catching, overwhelming, leaving anyone who entered praising with a "good!"

As for the storytelling, the storyteller recounted "Dream of the Red Chamber" vividly.

"It is said, when Lin Daiyu bid farewell to her father and entered the capital, a sedan chair was sent by Rong Mansion to serve her, along with vehicles for her luggage. The bustling market and prosperous crowd were beyond comparison anywhere else... At such a young age, Lin Daiyu had to live under others’ roofs, and upon entering Jia Mansion, she was cautious with every step and mindful at all times, not daring to utter one more word or take one more step, fearing ridicule... That day, Jia Baoyu, to avoid Mr. Jia, took a detour to visit the ailing Xue Baochai, who later asked to see his jade. After reading the inscription on the Spiritual Jade, she then reminded her maid to serve tea. The maid pointed out that the words on Jia Baoyu’s jade matched those on her mistress’s jade. Jia Baoyu didn’t believe it, but upon closer inspection, indeed, they matched..."

The audience below craned their necks to listen.

The charm of the Four Great Classical Novels is no joke; their influence is naturally addictive upon listening.

Just as the story reached a climax, the storyteller concluded with, "To know what happens next, please listen to the next episode."

The listeners below groaned in disappointment.

"This is too little! Just a bit more, won’t you? Isn’t this just keeping us in suspense? Waiting like this means waiting another seven days."

"Exactly, it cut off right at an exciting part; it’s too inconsiderate."

"It’s been so long since I heard such a good story, it’s too captivating. Can we not wait seven days and finish it all today?"

"You’re too greedy. They’re providing this storytelling for free, yet you ask for so much. I’d say, telling this much today is already quite generous."

"Exactly, finely crafted work takes time. Such a good script can’t be written all at once."

"Well, let’s wait then. After all, this department store has everything; if anyone feels bored, they can wander around elsewhere to pass the time."

"I’ve heard there’s free opera singing in the afternoon, performing the stories we heard this morning. I’m really looking forward to it."

"Yes, with such a good story, the opera performance will be even more fascinating. No matter what, I have to stay and watch!"

The crowd gradually dispersed, but the discussion about "Dream of the Red Chamber" did not cease; wherever you went, you could hear people talking about it.

"That Xue Baochai is really scheming, deliberately reading the words on the Spiritual Jade in front of the maid and then reminding her to serve tea, just to make the maid notice that the words on the jade match and say it aloud."

"Isn’t it so? If she intended for the maid to serve tea, she should have prompted her the first time the maid didn’t leave. But she waited until after reading the Jade Pendant’s inscription, which makes her intention too obvious."

"Poor Lin Daiyu, who grew up with Jia Baoyu, childhood sweethearts, and now Xue Baochai appears. Lin Daiyu, without parents, how can she compete with others?"

"You all are so one-sided. Where’s all this scheming with Xue Baochai? She’s just a teenager; it’s all just a coincidence."

"Exactly, Xue Baochai is so good at handling matters. Even before arriving at Jia Mansion, her reputation for being virtuous had already spread, which is much better than Lin Daiyu who is too petty, often getting angry for no reason, no wonder the servants don’t like her."

"Hey, you like Xue Baochai, but you can’t badmouth Lin Daiyu. When did she ever get angry for no reason? She has her reasons. She lost both her parents and is living under someone else’s roof, which is hard enough. She wouldn’t get mad for no reason. If you don’t understand, don’t speak carelessly."

"Stop arguing, I say both girls are fine. It’s Jia Baoyu who’s too affectionate, calling both Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai sister so dearly, not even sparing the maids, tsk tsk."

"Why do you only see the romance? Haven’t any of you noticed the corruption in Jia Mansion’s lifestyle? At this rate, Jia Mansion will be ruined by these scoundrels sooner or later."

See, this is the allure of a great novel. Everyone sees something different.

In the department store’s snail rice noodle shop, milk tea shop, pig’s foot rice shop, and other various shops, everywhere people were discussing the plot related to "Dream of the Red Chamber."

Because the storyteller recounted so brilliantly, everyone was in no rush to leave, all wanting to wait until the afternoon to watch the opera.

During this time, foot traffic in the department store peaked.

"This department store is so big, it has everything. It’s a one-stop shop, too convenient."

"Especially that supermarket, it has all kinds of daily necessities, and staff introduce products, with someone at the front counter to collect money, it’s too thoughtfully designed."

"I just took a quick look; there’s a range of cheap and expensive items, making it convenient for everyone to purchase according to their needs."

"There are guards patrolling around, preventing trouble, wow, this feels so safe."

"This department store is just great. From now on, whenever I need something, I’ll come here; there’s even parking available."

"I heard parking costs money too, but it’s based on time. It’s free if you don’t exceed an hour."

"Even if you park all day, it’s only a few coins, not expensive. The key is it provides shelter from the wind and rain, how great is that?"

...

By afternoon, the opera of "Dream of the Red Chamber" finally began.

But before the opening, there was an advertisement.

A certain boss needed to promote his wine, so a drinking scene was performed on stage.

"A good water brews good wine, different tastes for different wines. Each cup carries a fragrant aroma for miles. Similar happiness awaits in different wines. Xianggui Winery is waiting for you!"

After the advertisement, the actors entered the stage.

Today’s opera focus was on Lin Daiyu entering Jia Mansion and meeting its residents for the first time.

When Lin Daiyu appeared on stage, there were gasps from the audience.

"She looks just like from the book, so beautiful, exactly how I imagined Lin in my mind!"

"Mrs. Jia is quite fitting, a kind old lady."

"Look at Feng, she looks so fierce. I like her."

"Jia Baoyu is on, haha, so that’s what he looks like, like a grown child, even resembles a girl, no wonder he likes mingling with the girls."

"Look at how he stares at Lin Daiyu; he’s smitten, even in front of so many people, he doesn’t try to hide it."

"Might he have fallen for Lin Daiyu at first sight? Surely something will happen between them in the future."

"Here’s the jade-breaking scene. Who says Lin Daiyu gets angry for no reason? Clearly, it’s Jia Baoyu who frequently breaks his jade. Just because Lin Daiyu doesn’t have a jade, he wants to break it; he’s really naive."

The opening of Qu Fulan’s side was very successful, while on the other side, after Li Hua’s recovery, she continued to work at the tofu skin bun shop.

It just seemed like she had become much more silent, different from before.
