After the Republic of China

Chapter 53
The aunt and nephew dressed together, it was as warm as yesterday.

Shao Yunshi looked at her aunt with joy in her eyes, and without the old lady staring at her, the pressure dropped suddenly and her mood lifted.

Shao Lanxiang was also in a good mood. She turned her head and looked in the mirror again, nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's better to be clever and have a good eye. After doing this, I immediately feel a lot more energetic."

Shao Yunshi didn't take credit for it, "It's still my aunt who combed her hair well, otherwise, if it's short hair or perm, I can't do it well."

Nowadays, fashionable women imitate the dress of Westerners, get their hair permed, and dresses become popular.

Shao Yunshi's words not only praised people, but also expressed their attitude.

After hearing this, Shao Lanxiang naturally ironed the post, and said with a smile: "I'm not used to that kind of dress, it's more neat to wear my hair in a bun."

"Madam looks good no matter how she dresses up." Xiaocui said sincerely.

Shao Lanxiang glared at her, "You are the only one with sweet lips."

Shao Yunshi smiled and glanced at Xiaocui, "Auntie really does whatever she wants."

Shao Lanxiang was so amused by the compliments of the two, she looked at herself in the mirror from side to side, and she was indeed prettier than before.

She rolled her eyes and said to Shao Yunshi: "In a few days, I'm going to a banquet, how about you help me with my hairstyle and clothes?"

What's wrong with this, Shao Yunshi nodded directly, "I still have some jewelry suitable for Auntie, I'll send them to Auntie later."

"Okay, my aunt missed your good things." Shao Lanxiang smiled, thought about it, and said: "At that time, you will also go to see the world together."

"I'm going too, is it just a simple gathering?" Shao Yunshi asked strangely.

Shao Lanxiang shook her head and said, "It's not, it's not. In short, it's okay for you to follow."

In Shao Yunshi's previous life, she attended too many gatherings of the wives of the aristocratic family, and she was very familiar with how to deal with them.

So, when she got here, she was a little tired of such meaningless gatherings.

So, she shook her head, "Forget it, I don't know anyone, so I can't help my aunt if I go there, and I'll hold back my aunt."

"Gu Gu, you always stay in the compound of the deep house, you can't do it, you should go out for a walk and meet people." Shao Lanxiang disagreed.

Shao Yunshi didn't want to suffer, so she politely declined, "Auntie is going to do business, so I won't make trouble."

Shao Yunshi feels that this era is different from the previous life where women were greatly restrained. Women don't have to rely on showing their faces at the gatherings of wives to earn fame.

Therefore, she did not procrastinate in her refusal.

"You child, it won't be troublesome for my aunt to ask you to go." Shao Lanxiang reprimanded, and then persuaded without any explanation: "In one, you are sixteen now, you should go out for a walk, don't tell people to call Miss Shao An old-fashioned ignorant woman."

Seeing that her aunt's expression was not right when she said this, Shao Yunshi rolled her eyes and said calmly, "What did you hear, aunt?"

Such a clever child, Shao Lanxiang didn't want her niece to be bothered.Then, she shook her head and said, "No, I just think you should go out and meet people."

In fact, Shao Lanxiang didn't think he had heard any bad rumors, it was just that he saw Qiao's family yesterday, and he said that his niece was not worthy of her young master.

These hints, to the point where she understands them, she will not lose her composure, let alone go home and tell her children.

Shao Yunshi saw that her aunt wouldn't say much, and she didn't ask any more questions. Her eyes flickered, she nodded her head to accept the invitation, and asked instead: "Auntie still wears a cheongsam that day?"

But all women love beauty, and when the topic was changed, Shao Lanxiang didn't care. She nodded immediately and said, "Well, nowadays, when attending a banquet, it's either a western dress or a cheongsam. What good ideas do you have?"

Shao Yunshi knew that the banquet was very important to her aunt, so she looked at Aunt Fan seriously and thought about it secretly.

Auntie's appearance is not very gorgeous, but her temperament is excellent, her temperament is broad, and she has a soft face, which makes people feel good about her when she sees her.

Such an aunt can dress elegantly or in fashion, which is not an exaggeration.

After thinking about it, Shao Yunshi asked: "What are the identities of most of the people who attended the banquet that day?"

By the way, this is the point of the question.

Shao Lanxiang consciously passed the exam for her niece, and said with a smile, "Well, most of the people who attended that day were celebrities and dignitaries from Nanjing."

so?Shao Yunshi nodded, "If that's the case, Auntie should still wear a cheongsam."

"Cheongsam, I didn't bring back a suitable one." Shao Lanxiang frowned, "I'll go out and buy some later."

Shao Yunshi smiled and said: "You don't need to buy it, most of the cheongsams outside are not suitable. I have modified cheongsams. Go back to my aunt to have a look. If you need it, you can wear that one."

Shao Yunshi has an old aunt who loves her dearly, and a mother-in-law from the Lu family who wants to make up for her, and her grandmother Lu who likes to dress up girls. There are many kinds of clothes in the closet.

This is not a secret in the Shao family. Shao Lanxiang knew it, and smiled at her, "Those are all the wishes of the elders, so you just gave them away."

Shao Yunshi pretended to be helpless, "Auntie is not someone else, besides, my closet is almost out of place, I really need Auntie's help."

"You girl!" Shao Lanxiang laughed at her.

In fact, what Shao Yunshi said is true, she has quite a few of the popular cheongsams nowadays.

Shao Yunshi's clothes were prepared for her by the Lu family and the Yan family. As she grew older, she couldn't pick out the accumulated clothes.

Every year, she sends out a lot of clothes, and the ones left behind are all made by the elders.

Shao Lanxiang knew the generosity and caring of the Lu family.

As for her, before her sister-in-law returned home with her, she often received gifts such as fabrics and clothes, and everything was the latest boutique.

Thinking of this, Shao Lanxiang was not polite to his niece, nodded and said: "Gu Gu's clothes are all exquisite, and this time I earned the money."

Seeing that her aunt didn't force her face, Shao Yunshi was delighted, so she discussed with her the silk scarves and collar buttons on the clothes.

The aunt and nephew were chatting happily, and Xiao Cui came outside to treat her to dinner.

In fact, in terms of Shao Yunshi's hearing ability, she should have heard the movement outside, but today she was really happy talking with her aunt, so she ignored it.

Thinking of the old lady's temper, she stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, and said to Shao Lanxiang, "I'm bothering my aunt for breakfast, so I'll be leaving now."

Shao Lanxiang grabbed Shao Yunshi and said, "Don't go, use some with me."

Shao Yunshi hurriedly said: "I've used it a long time ago, that's all right, auntie, don't tell the old lady to wait, I'll be leaving now."

Xiaocui also looked at her wife with some embarrassment. She helped to set the dishes, and the old lady didn't order another set.

Shao Yunshi didn't want her aunt to be embarrassed, so she got up directly and walked outside.

Shao Lanxiang's outstretched hand only had time to touch the corner of her niece's clothes.

Shao Yunshi heard her aunt's sigh, her feet stopped, she went out of the inner room, and bid farewell to the old lady.

The old lady always treated her casually. When she saw her, she sat at the table and waited for her daughter as usual. She didn't take a second look at her granddaughter before waving her away.
