Chapter 96 Intrigue
The woman who came in was wearing a lotus-blue jacket, and underneath was a skirt of the same color, with several sachets and accessories hanging from her waist, which looked complicated.With a slight lift of his chin and a look of arrogance between his brows and eyes, he took a leisurely look around the store.
Song Qinghuan looked at her familiar face and thought to himself, why did she come to Los Angeles?
——The arrogant woman in front of her was none other than the daughter of County Magistrate Du they met in Huaining County that day.
But I don't know why she came to Los Angeles?
Fortunately, Song Qinghuan's face changed now, and this girl probably wouldn't recognize her.
As for Liu Yue and Shen Xing, they didn't come out when they met on the street.That day when she went to the inn with County Magistrate Du, Liu Yue and Shen Xing also avoided them, so she probably didn't notice them either.
Thinking of this, Song Qinghuan winked at Liuyue.
Liu Yue also recognized this Miss Du at this moment, she was slightly startled, and was wondering whether she should go forward, when she received a wink from Song Qinghuan, she hurriedly gathered herself together, stepped forward and greeted with a smile, "This girl, Please take a seat. Are you here to order clothes and jewelry?"
Du Yunxue sized her up and down, frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's the meaning of this customization?"
Liu Yue smiled and invited Du Yunxue to sit down, Shen Xing served tea again, and she said, "Miss also knows that most of the jewelry on the market is already ready. As for the clothes, although you can ask a tailor to tailor them, but The styles of clothes are often the same, and there is nothing new to wear, and it is difficult to attract the attention of others."
She paused, seeing that Du Yunxue seemed to be interested, she continued, "But our Qingyang Pavilion is different. For all the guests who come to our Qingyang Pavilion, we will take into account the situation of the guests themselves and where they are going. For different occasions, we can customize unique clothes and jewelry for our guests.”
Although Du Yunxue was a little ignorant, she understood the word "unique", her eyes lit up, and she looked at Liuyue with interest, "Then the clothes and jewelry you make here will be different from other people's." ?"
Liu Yue smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Song Qinghuan's heart moved, she got up and walked over.
Liu Yue saw her coming, greeted her, and introduced to Du Yunxue, "This is our boss, his surname is Qin."
The status of men and women in Chen Kingdom is similar, and there are quite a few women in business, so Du Yunxue was not surprised, but only looked Song Qinghuan up and down a few times, seeing that although her figure is graceful and pretty, her appearance can only be regarded as pretty, so she put away the look in her eyes , nodded slightly, "Boss Qin."
Song Qinghuan also nodded in response, and said with a smile, "I don't know what to call the girl?"
"My surname is Du."
"It turned out to be Ms. Du." Song Qinghuan nodded and said, "The biggest feature of this store is that it customizes different jewelry and clothes according to each girl's different situation, magnifying the advantages of each person's appearance and figure, and at the same time Weaknesses are cleverly hidden."
She took a few glances at Du Yunxue, "For example, Ms. Du, you have fair skin and a bright temperament. The lotus blue color is a bit dull for you, and you can't show the advantages of a girl. It's better to wear red."
Hearing what she said, Du Yunxue nodded in agreement.
Originally, she thought she looked best in red, and there are many reds in Huaining County.But after coming here, her cousins were all dressed in plain and elegant clothes, looking very refreshing and very good-looking, so she followed suit and changed into lotus blue clothes, but she couldn't wear the scent of books .
It turns out that the crux of the matter is here!
Seeing Du Yunxue's more convinced eyes, Song Qinghuan went on to say, "Besides, the girl's waist is not slender, but her chest is very full. It's best to have a slightly tighter top. The girl's wide body doesn't show off at all. Take advantage of the girl's figure."
When Du Yunxue heard the first half of the sentence, his expression couldn't help but soften, and only after hearing the latter sentence did his expression soften a little.
Song Qinghuan glanced at her, taking in all the expressions on her face.
There are still many problems with her dressing, but she doesn't intend to tell the whole story, so she just said here, "That's why we say that dressing must be based on personal characteristics, and you can't blindly follow it, otherwise it will only be counterproductive."
Her words pierced Du Yunxue's heart.
It's fashionable in Huaining County, no one dares to compete with her anyway, but it's different in Los Angeles.
There are more girls from aristocratic families in Los Angeles, all of them are well educated and reasonable, and they are as beautiful as flowers.She is nothing like a little county magistrate's daughter, she can only be cautious, lest she make a mistake and make others laugh.Unwilling to be reconciled in his heart, he carefully imitated their dress and behavior, but it became more and more nondescript.
Arriving here today, my heart is really enlightened.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows, "Then how long does it usually take for you to customize clothing and jewelry?"
Grandmother's birthday banquet is just three days away. If she can make a big splash at the birthday banquet, let's see if those cousins with high eyes will dare to underestimate her!
Du Yunxue has always been competitive.
When she came to Los Angeles this time, she was looking for the young master at the beginning, but it has been more than half a month since she was wandering the streets all day, and she never saw the young master again, so she was inevitably discouraged. .
And the grandfather's family didn't want to see her and mother, this time they came so early this time, and they were mocking them for the autumn wind, how could she swallow this breath?
If he could frustrate those people at the birthday banquet three days later, it would be considered that the trip to Los Angeles was not in vain.
Song Qinghuan's eyes turned, "Because it just opened today, there are a lot of orders received, and it usually takes about ten days."
When Du Yunxue heard this, she looked disappointed, "It will take so long? Can it be rushed? I can add money."
"I don't know what occasion Miss Du is going to wear?"
"In three days' time, my grandmother's birthday banquet will be held." Du Yunxue said without doubting him.
Song Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat.
It turned out that she came to Beijing for a banquet, so I don't know... who is her grandfather's family?
"I don't know the name of Miss Du's maternal ancestral family?" She smiled and asked casually.
"My surname is Han." Du Yunxue said, seeing Song Qinghuan's puzzled expression, the competitive temperament in his heart emerged again, "Boss Qin doesn't know my maternal ancestor's family? Han Jieyu in the palace is my own aunt!"
Her grandfather had been an official all his life, but in the end he was just a small servant of the Ministry of Rites, not a big man.Her aunt's name was much more famous, so Han Jieyu was brought out.
Although Han Jieyu is a concubine and her mother is just an unfavored concubine, others don't need to know about these things in the house, all they need to know is that she has an aunt who is Jieyu!
Song Qinghuan's snow pupils narrowed, and a touch of joy rose in her heart.
Her aunt is Han Jieyu? !This is really hard to find, and it's easy to get here!
There was only a look of envy on his face, "It turns out that Miss Du's aunt is Han Jieyu from the palace! The Six Emperor Ji Su Yan is Miss Du's cousin?"
Du Yunxue's vanity was greatly satisfied, she raised her chin proudly, "Exactly!"
Song Qinghuan smiled at her, "I don't know that Miss Du is actually a relative of the emperor, disrespect and disrespect!"
Du Yunxue gave a resounding "Mm", and her tone became more and more arrogant, "Then can you hurry up here? My grandmother's birthday party is a big event, and I cannot neglect it."
"Naturally." Song Qing replied with a smile, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
She didn't expect to catch up with Su Yan's line so quickly, but God really helped her!Since Su Yan is going to the birthday banquet in the Han Mansion, of course she has to accept Du Yunxue's order, and she has to use her housekeeping skills to do it!
After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Xing, "Shen Xing, measure the size for Miss Du."
Shen Xing complied, and came over with a soft ruler to measure Du Yunxue's size.
Song Qinghuan looked at her and smiled, "Our store has several prices, upper, middle and lower. The prices are different, and the materials are also different. I don't know which one Ms. Du wants?" She said, and handed over the price list.
Du Yunxue opened it, her eyes were straightened, and her heart ached.
Here you can customize a complete set of clothes and jewelry, the cheapest price is 100 taels, the price of medium materials is 300 taels, and the most expensive price is 500 taels.
Song Qinghuan glanced at her sudden change of expression, sneered in his heart, but said more affectionately, "Ordinary girls and young ladies usually choose the middle class, but Ms. Du's identity is different from them, and she is a relative of the emperor. You have to choose the best material to bring out your magnanimity, don’t you think so?”
Du Yunxue grinned in embarrassment, and answered vaguely.
Song Qing laughed happily, took away the price list in her hand, looked at Liuyue and said, "Liuyue, write down Miss Du's information well. A set of high-end prices, come to pick it up in the afternoon the next day, and Shen Xing just now. Record the data that came out."
As he spoke, he looked at Du Yunxue with a smile on his face, "Usually we have to pay extra for expediting, but today is the first day the store opens, and Ms. Du is sincerely taking care of our business, so this expedited fee will be waived for Ms. Du." Yes. But... I would like to ask Ms. Du to pay 200 taels as a deposit first."
Du Yunxue ordered a set with a high price in a daze, and she was still in pain. When she heard that the expedited fee was waived, she breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, her heart beat up again.
200 two deposits? !How can she have so much money on her? !
As if seeing Du Yunxue's embarrassment, Song Qinghuan smiled slightly, "Miss Du didn't bring so much money with her? It doesn't matter, Miss Du can go back first, and send a maid to bring it later, but it must be within today."
Du Yunxue opened her mouth, as if about to say something, but Song Qinghuan rushed ahead of her and said, "Miss Du knows that the clothes and jewelry we make are all tailor-made according to the individual's figure, and it is impossible They are sold to other girls, so they have to collect the deposit first before starting to make. If Ms. Du can't send the deposit today, it may be too late to make it."
Now that we've talked about this, how can Du Yunxue refuse?He could only respond awkwardly, and said, "Then I'll ask someone to deliver it when I get back."
Song Qinghua responded with a smile, "Does Miss Du have any other requests?"
Collect people's money and do things for others.Although she didn't like Du Yunxue, she still had the professional ethics that she should have.
Du Yunxue was still immersed in the heartache of having to pay so much money all of a sudden, and upon hearing this, she only looked up at her in a daze, and said absently, "Okay... just look good."
Song Qing laughed more and more appropriately, "Please rest assured, Miss Du, you will be satisfied."
She stood up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests, "Then... Ms. Du can leave now. I'll wait for Ms. Du's deposit to arrive, and then start making for Ms. Du."
Du Yunxue also stood up, forced a smile, and walked out of Qingyang Pavilion with Chun Xing's support.
Watching her figure disappear outside the door, the smile on Song Qinghuan's mouth faded.
Liu Yue cleaned up the teacups on the table, looked at Song Qinghuan and asked curiously, "Why did Your Highness agree to expedite her? Isn't this girl the daughter of the magistrate of Huaining County?"
Song Qinghuan said "Yes", "I'm interested in her identity. If it weren't for her relationship with Han Jieyu and Liu Diji, and because of her unlovable temperament, this business of hers would I definitely won't take it."
Liu Yue blinked her big eyes and understood a little, "Your Highness wants to use her to break into the palace?"
"Yes."
Song Qinghuan agreed, saw Shen Chuhan coming out from behind, turned around and smiled at him, "Things went much smoother than I imagined."
Shen Chuhan followed suit with a smile, "Congratulations, Ah Wan, from now on, just wait for the fish to take the bait."
In the evening, Du Yunxue really sent her maid named Chun Xing to bring the deposit over, Song Qing happily accepted it with a smile, sent Chun Xing away, and started to prepare.
Whether Du Yunxue can be a blockbuster at her grandmother's birthday banquet determines whether she can successfully catch up with Su Yan, so Song Qinghuan made extra serious preparations, and stayed busy until late at night every day. The cloth shop and Qingyang Pavilion ran at three o'clock and one line.
Although Shen Chuhan felt distressed, he had no choice but to stay up late with her every day.
After working for several days, I finally got the finished product back from the jewelry shop and fabric shop in the afternoon of the third day.After carefully checking and confirming that there were no mistakes, he let out a long sigh of relief and sat in the shop waiting for Du Yunxue to pick up the goods.
It happened that there was a customer in the store at this time, Liu Yue and Shen Xing were greeting that customer.
Du Yunxue arrived earlier than the agreed time, and she was indeed wearing a bright red jacket today, which was very bright and eye-catching.
Song Qinghuan thought it was a bit funny.
Although Du Yunxue has a bit of a domineering young lady's temper, she is a little cuter than those people who hide needles in their cotton.
Standing up to meet her, she nodded towards Du Yunxue, "Miss Du is here." Her expression was clear and calm, neither too warm nor too cold.
She is doing high-end business, so naturally she has to carry the shelf she should carry.
Seeing her reassurance, the suspicion in Du Yunxue's eyes really subsided a bit, and then she glanced at the other guests who were talking with Liu Yue and Shen Xing, and then she was a little more reassured.
After paying the deposit that day, she regretted it.
500 taels of silver, if normal, it would be enough for her to buy several sets of clothes and jewelry.I didn't look at any samples, and I didn't ask too many questions. I was fooled in such a daze. After thinking about it afterwards, I felt more and more uneasy.
In the past few days, Chun Xing has been sent to sneak a look several times, seeing that the store is still open as usual, and customers come to the door from time to time, so she is a little relieved.But in the end, he was still a little uncertain, so he came early with Chun Xing before the appointed time.
"Boss Qin, are all my things ready?"
"It's ready, Ms. Du please. Liuyue, bring Ms. Du's things." As he spoke, he raised the brocade curtain and invited Du Yunxue into the private room next door specially set up for guests to change clothes.
Liu Yue quickly came in with two big boxes.
Song Qinghuan put the box on the table and motioned for Du Yunxue to open it herself.
Du Yunxue dubiously opened the two wooden boxes, and when she saw the contents inside, her eyes immediately became straight.Take it out, feel it left and right, look at it, and still gesticulate on the body, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Song Qinghuan chuckled, not to mention the style, she used the best Yunwu brocade for this dress.The winter clothes themselves are relatively heavy, so using light and thin cloud brocade can reduce the bulkiness, bring an elegant and dusty feeling, and neutralize the vulgarity between Du Yunxue's eyebrows and eyes.As for the set of pearl and hairpin jewelry, it was even more exquisitely crafted.
"Miss Du is still satisfied, do you want to try?"
Du Yunxue nodded hastily, "Okay."
Song Qinghuan left the private room for a while, and asked Chunxing to wait on Du Yunxue to change his shirt.
Not long after, she heard a slight exclamation from inside, and she smiled, knowing that the effect of this jacket might have amazed Chun Xing and Du Yunxue, so she raised her voice slightly and asked, "Miss Du, are you still satisfied?"
"Satisfied." Du Yunxue replied with a trembling voice.
Song Qing smiled happily and turned to greet other guests without urging her.
After waiting for a long time, Du Yunxue changed back into her own clothes and came out with a strange blush on her face and eyes full of excitement.
Song Qinghuan smiled softly, "If Ms. Du is satisfied, please pay the remaining balance."
Why does Du Yunxue still feel that the price is expensive?Hearing this, she hurriedly asked Chun Xing to pay the rest of the money, thanked Song Qinghuan, hugged the two big boxes tightly in her arms, and went out happily.
With this set of costumes, she will definitely be a blockbuster at the birthday banquet tomorrow, and by then, she will impress those who look down on her!
What's more, I heard that at the grandma's birthday banquet tomorrow, several aunts intend to meet Mr. Ruyi for her cousins, so they invited many princes from aristocratic families to be guests.
She came to Luocheng this time to pursue Mr. Shen, but she didn't want to hear from him for more than half a month. Maybe Mr. Shen had left Luocheng long ago. If she could find another good son-in-law, she would not be in vain. Put up with the blank eyes and walk around!
Thinking about it this way, he became more and more elated, and was just waiting for tomorrow to shine at the birthday banquet!
Song Qinghuan looked at her buoyant footsteps, and curled her lips coldly.
Du Yunxue, please don't let me down!
*
The next day, there was a birthday banquet for the old lady of the Han family.
In Luo City, although the Han family is not considered a top-notch family, the old man of the Han family has been an official in the court for many years and has his own connections.What's more, they also have a daughter who is a concubine in the palace. Although she is only Jieyu, she has given birth to the Six Empresses after all, so she can be regarded as an evergreen tree in the palace.
Therefore, many people came to Mrs. Han's birthday banquet.
Du Yunxue got up early, had a hasty breakfast, and asked Chun Xing to dress up for her carefully.At this time, her mother must have gone to show her courtesy to her grandmother, and she will not take care of her.
Everything was ready, seeing that it was almost time, Du Yunxue took Chun Xing to the front garden.
At this time, the luncheon has not yet started, and her cousins must have gathered there.Moreover, maybe the sons of the aristocratic families who came are also there.
Thinking of it this way, my heart suddenly became happy, and I showed a big smile to myself in the bronze mirror, and walked towards the garden with my head held high.
Before she got close, she heard laughter and laughter from the garden, among which were faintly mixed with a man's voice, which made her feel more happy and her pace quickened.
Turning around a bush, seeing the cousins gathered not far ahead, the smile on his face deepened, and he was about to walk quickly when he heard fragmented sentences drifting into his ears.
Faintly, it seemed that he heard his own name, and he couldn't help but stop with a serious face, and listened attentively with his ears.
"What do you think Du Yunxue will be wearing today?" The person who spoke was Han Xin, the daughter of the second wife's concubine, her second uncle's daughter.
"Who knows?" A disdainful voice sounded, "She and her mother came so early this time, so I don't know why they are interested in our family." The most arrogant and arrogant, quite dismissive of himself.
"No, she has to learn from us in everything, and she doesn't look in the mirror. As for her poor appearance from a small family, even if she learns our dress, isn't she just imitating us?" Han Xin said mockingly, " A few days ago, I saw my eldest sister wearing a lake green dress, which was fresh and pleasant, so she also went to find a lotus blue one to wear, and she wore so many gold and silver beads on her hair, nondescript, she looked like a nouveau riche, It's really laughable!"
"Eldest sister, second sister, what if someone overhears us talking about Cousin Yunxue behind our backs?" A timid voice rang out, it was Han Jing from the third bedroom.
The first room, the second room and Han Jieyu are both descendants of Mrs. Han, and the third room is the same as Du Yunxue's mother, but they are not the same aunt.On weekdays, Han Jing's status in the mansion is not very high, she is just a follower of Han Shan and Han Xin.
Hearing what Han Jing said, Han Xin seemed a little angry, and his tone was raised a little, "What? Are you pitying her? She is doing well, why should you be pitiful? I heard that she was looking for her aunt the day before yesterday. I paid 500 taels of silver at one time, who knows why I went there."
The sharp and harsh voice over there was still chattering, but Du Yunxue was already trembling with anger. She couldn't care about anything else at the moment, and stepped out with a gloomy expression, staring at the three people who were discussing in front of her.
Seemingly feeling a gloomy gaze on him, Han Shan, Han Xin and Han Jing all turned to look.When he saw this, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide open, and he froze in place.
The person walking in front of him clearly still had Du Yunxue's familiar face, but there seemed to be something different about it.
I saw that she was wearing a crescent white gown with narrow sleeves and a concubine-colored cloud skirt, which was as long as the floor.Different from the general top and skirt style, the hem of Du Yunxue's gown is tucked into the waist of the skirt, while the long skirt is raised to the chest, outlining the fullness of the chest.
Clusters of magnolias were embroidered with exquisite silver thread on the cuffs and skirt, which swayed vividly as she walked.The cloud satin skirt is made into a moonlight skirt, with as many pleats as it is faintly shining, it is really beautiful.
Because of the cool weather, she wore a shawl that fluttered in the wind, which not only kept her warm but also looked beautiful. She looked slender, charming and charming, with a special charm.
Du Yunxue's advantage lies in her fair skin and bright facial features.On weekdays, she either wears rich colors of bright red and green, which actually overwhelms the bright features, or she wears plain colors like the noble girls in Beijing, which makes her look more bland.Moreover, she has a slightly plump figure, and although wearing an ordinary top and skirt style can cover the shortcomings of the waist, it also covers up the advantages.
So Song Qinghuan specially designed Tang Dynasty skirts and shirts for her to maximize her strengths and avoid weaknesses, highlighting her unique charm.
For the first time, no gold, silver, pearls and jade were piled up on the blue silk tied into a weeping willow bun. There was only a jasper hairpin with orchid pattern, which echoed the magnolia embroidered on the skirt.Another piece of gilt and silver hairpin with double flowers in butterfly play is inserted, with tassels hanging down, and the butterfly spreads its wings and dances lightly, making it more realistic and agile.
Han Shan and the others were dumbfounded.
Was this beautiful and charming woman in front of them really the Du Yunxue they were familiar with?
Seeing their stunned faces, Du Yunxue felt a tinge of pleasure in her heart, and snorted coldly, pretending she didn't hear what she just said, "What are the cousins talking about?"
Han Shan and Han Xin looked embarrassed.
Originally, they were waiting to see Du Yunxue make a fool of themselves today, how did they know she was so radiant?
Han Xin glared at her, and said in a strange way, "Hey, my cousin is dressed up so beautifully today, who is it for?"
"Grandmother's birthday party, of course you have to dress brightly so as not to disgrace your grandparents." With confidence in her heart, Du Yunxue replied more calmly.
Han Xin snorted softly, and muttered, "If you want to lose face, you will lose face to your Du family. What does it have to do with my Han family?"
Du Yunxue's complexion darkened, and her temper flared up again. Just as she was about to refute, Han Shan rolled her eyes and came over with a smile to smooth things over, "Your cousin is so beautiful today, we couldn't even recognize her just now. "
Han Shan has the most high-spirited personality. Hearing that she actually praised herself today, Du Yunxue was immediately flattered, and said politely, "Cousin Shan, you're flattering yourself."
Han Shan reached out her hand to touch the dress on her body, and said with a smile, "The dress on my cousin's body is made of Yunwu Brocade? No wonder she walks so elegantly."
Where did Du Yunxue know that Yunwu brocade was not Yunwu brocade?Yesterday, I only felt that this material looked flimsy, but it was quite warm to wear. I didn't expect it to have a special name. I smiled a little guilty, and stammered, "Yes... yes..."
A shrewdness flashed in Han Shan's eyes, she paused thoughtfully on Du Yunxue's face, and said with a smile, "I don't know where Cousin Yunxue's suit was made? It's so pretty."
Du Yunxue is not a fool either.Han Shan and Han Xin are already better looking than themselves. If they also go to Qingyang Pavilion, they will overshadow the limelight that I have finally won, so I kept my mind on it and smiled vaguely, "Come on My mother asked my embroiderer to make it for me before."
When she said that, Han Shan and Han Xin would definitely think that it was made in Huaining County. Could it be that they would go to Huaining County to pull on their clothes?
Sure enough, after hearing what Du Yunxue said, Han Shan looked at her suspiciously, but didn't say anything more.
When Han Xin saw that Du Yunxue had attracted Han Shan's attention, he felt a little bit unwilling at the moment, snorted softly, stepped forward and took Han Shan's arm, and said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry about it, we Go over there and have a look, I see those young masters are chatting happily."
In Chen Kingdom, there is no such thing as a defense between men and women, and moreover, the purpose of inviting so many princes from aristocratic families today is to show them their husbands and sons-in-law, not to mention that they are already familiar with these princes, so there is nothing to avoid.
While speaking, she had already walked towards the young masters in front, and Han Jing naturally followed her.Du Yunxue rolled her eyes, regardless of whether Han Shan and Han Xin were welcome or not, she followed suit and walked over.
As soon as the few people passed by, the sons and brothers who were talking stopped and looked towards them.
Someone in the crowd knew Han Shan and Han Xin, and was about to say hello when their eyes fell on Du Yunxue behind them, but they couldn't take their eyes off of them anymore and stared straight at them.
When Han Shan and Han Xin saw their expressions, their faces turned green.
Those sons and sons who happened to be born didn't see their displeasure, so they blinked their eyes and asked, "Miss Han, Miss Han, I wonder if the girl behind you is...?"
Han Xin snorted coldly, but didn't make a sound.
Han Shan reluctantly replied, "This is my cousin from Huaining County."
She didn't even introduce her name, and just said she was from Huaining County, obviously trying to make people look down on her.Du Yunxue is not a vegetarian either. Seeing everyone's gazes on her, she smiled complacently in her heart, but on the face she also imitated the Han Shan she usually saw, smiled lightly, and congratulated everyone, " The little girl, Du Yunxue, came here specially to attend my grandmother's birthday banquet this time."
As soon as she said that, everyone knew her relationship with the Han family. Seeing that she was also a serious relative, the expression on her face became warmer.There was that young man who likes to make trouble, and immediately went up to chat with Du Yunxue.
But in a short period of time, Du Yunxue was surrounded by several young masters from aristocratic families.
When had she ever seen such a scene, her little face was flushed, her eyes were shining brightly, and she tried her best to show the appearance of a lady who had seen the world.
As a result, Han Shan and Han Xin were pushed out of the circle instead.
Han Xin and Han Shan have always been the focus of attention in this small circle. When have they been ignored like this before? Now they feel extremely humiliated. They stare at Du Yunxue whose face is flushed with hatred, wishing to tear her face apart. , Let's see how she still hooks up with people.
After chatting there for a while, it seems that there is no momentum to end it.Han Xin glanced at Han Shan aggrievedly, "Sister, are we going to let Du Yunxue steal the limelight like this?"
Han Shan snorted coldly, "Why are you in a hurry? Isn't there a good master who hasn't come yet? When she comes, let's see if Du Yunxue can still be arrogant."
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the servant's shrill announcement came from outside the garden, "The Six Emperors have arrived—"
A sneer flashed across Han Shan's eyes.
The master who loves to show off is here!
It's just to attend a birthday banquet, and bring the servants along, in case others don't know her identity as Emperor Ji?I think it's because I was oppressed by that person in the palace, so I want to find some sense of presence outside the palace.
Disdainful in his heart, but with a calm expression on his face, he followed the crowd and saluted the Sixth Emperor Ji Su Yan who was walking slowly, "I have seen Your Highness."
Slowly appearing in front of the crowd was a woman in sea-blue color embroidered peony brocade double-breasted palace dress. Her head was full of beads, her eyes were like water, her complexion was delicate and white, her eyes were almond-shaped and her cheeks were peachy. Soft posture.
It was Su Yan, the Sixth Emperor of Chen Kingdom.
Compared with Su Rao's charming and charming, Su Yan's appearance is slightly inferior, but she also has an elegant and refined posture, which is better than a word of softness.
She came here in such a way, and with the blessing of the status of Emperor Concubine, everyone's eyes naturally turned to her in unison.
Su Yan covered her face with her hands, and smiled coquettishly, "We are all relatives and friends, so there is no need to be polite."
Han Shan suppressed the sarcasm in her eyes, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you are here. I was talking about you with Xiner just now."
Su Yan looked at them with a smile, lowered her voice slightly, and said angrily, "Father spent the night with my concubine last night, and my concubine woke up a little late this morning, so it's late."
Han Shan and Han Xin followed her words enviously, "It's a good thing for the emperor to love his aunt."
Su Yan smiled lightly, her eyes casually looked back, and fell on Du Yunxue, she couldn't help but pause, and hesitated for a moment before she asked, "That... is Cousin Yunxue?"
Seeing Su Yan's gaze, Du Yunxue hastily stepped forward and saluted Su Yan, "Yunxue has seen Your Highness." Although she spoke confidently in Qingyang Pavilion that day, in fact, the Six Empresses, she Haven't met a few times.Just now, he was hesitating whether to come forward to pay respects, but Su Yan looked over and seized this opportunity.
A trace of almost invisible disgust flashed across Han Shan and Han Xin's eyes.
Su Yan smiled and sized Du Yunxue a few times, "It really is Cousin Yunxue? I haven't seen you for a long time, but Cousin Yunxue is getting more and more beautiful."
Du Yunxue's cheeks flushed, "Yunxue is just a willow, she dare not compare with His Highness."
Su Yan smiled faintly, glanced at the faces of the people, and took a step forward to grab Du Yunxue's arm, "Cousin Yunxue's clothes today are quite unique."
Seeing her such an intimate behavior, Du Yunxue's heart was beating like a drum with excitement, and in response, her mind was in a mess.
Su Yan's smile became more and more pleasant, and she glanced at Han Shan, Han Xin, Han Jing and the others behind her, "Is it time for grandma's birthday banquet to begin? Let's go to the front hall."
As he spoke, he took Du Yunxue's arm and walked forward first.
Han Xin and Han Shan looked at each other, their noses twisted with anger.This Du Yunxue is just wearing a bright and beautiful skin, but does she really take herself seriously?
The two of them have never been ignored before, and the dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts are rising up.
At this time, Han Xin suddenly saw the pond not far away, his eyes lit up, and he blinked at Han Shan.Han Shan quickly understood, she curled her lips into a smile, and there was a look of resentment in her eyes.
"Speaking of which, His Highness hasn't been out of the palace for a long time."
Su Yan was carrying Du Yunxue and gossiping, when Han Xin suddenly stepped between the two of them, pushed Du Yunxue away, and deliberately pushed Du Yunxue.
Du Yunxue staggered, and managed to stabilize her body.Chun Xing behind her hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Su Yan glanced at the two of them lightly, her eyes were calm and there was a trace of disgust.
Du Yunxue couldn't be more reconciled, she raised her skirt and was about to catch up, but suddenly felt that someone bumped her body, her foot stepped on the ground, and she fell into the pond with a "plop"!
The water in the pool was bone-chillingly cold in winter, and as soon as Du Yunxue fell into the water, she shivered from the cold.
Chun Xing was terrified, and hurried forward and lay down by the pond and shouted, "Miss! Miss!" Then she turned her head and looked at the crowd crowding behind her to watch the excitement, "Come on! Come and save my lady!"
The culprits, Han Shan and Han Xin, just dawdled and did not move, pretending to be overly surprised and not knowing what to do.
The host has not spoken, so how can others say anything?
Du Yunxue splashed a few times in the pool, feeling cold and frightened, soon choked on the water, her face turned pale.
Su Yan frowned, looked at Han Shan and Han Xin who were gloating behind her, and said in a cold voice, "Why don't you get someone to save them soon?!"
After Su Yan spoke, Han Shan pretended to recover, and quickly called someone to jump into the pond to rescue Du Yunxue.
After finally being rescued, Du Yunxue was shivering from the cold, her lips were dark blue, her face was pale, and she looked like a drowned rat, the brilliance she had just now had completely disappeared.Chun Xing hurriedly ran over to support her, crying with tears and snot in her nose.
Seeing the slight displeasure on Su Yan's face, Han Shan didn't dare to do it again, and looked at the servant behind her, "Why don't you take Miss Cousin back to your room to change?"
"No need." Su Yan suddenly said lightly, looked at Han Shan meaningfully, and then looked at the maid following behind, "Baosheng, help Miss Cousin to change clothes in the palace room." As Di Ji, although she doesn't come to Han Mansion often, she has her own courtyard.
Han Shan's expression froze.
The maid named Bao Sheng responded, and together with Chun Xing, she supported Du Yunxue who was already frozen and went towards Su Yan's courtyard.
Su Yan glanced at Han Shan and Han Xin, "I'll go and have a look, and I'll go to the front hall with Cousin Yunxue later, and you can talk to your grandmother." After that, she didn't look at them, and went straight with her.
Han Shan and Han Xin's expressions became more and more ugly, and they suddenly felt a chill on their foreheads.
When I looked up, it was snowing!

(End of this chapter)
The woman who came in was wearing a lotus-blue jacket, and underneath was a skirt of the same color, with several sachets and accessories hanging from her waist, which looked complicated.With a slight lift of his chin and a look of arrogance between his brows and eyes, he took a leisurely look around the store.
Song Qinghuan looked at her familiar face and thought to himself, why did she come to Los Angeles?
——The arrogant woman in front of her was none other than the daughter of County Magistrate Du they met in Huaining County that day.
But I don't know why she came to Los Angeles?
Fortunately, Song Qinghuan's face changed now, and this girl probably wouldn't recognize her.
As for Liu Yue and Shen Xing, they didn't come out when they met on the street.That day when she went to the inn with County Magistrate Du, Liu Yue and Shen Xing also avoided them, so she probably didn't notice them either.
Thinking of this, Song Qinghuan winked at Liuyue.
Liu Yue also recognized this Miss Du at this moment, she was slightly startled, and was wondering whether she should go forward, when she received a wink from Song Qinghuan, she hurriedly gathered herself together, stepped forward and greeted with a smile, "This girl, Please take a seat. Are you here to order clothes and jewelry?"
Du Yunxue sized her up and down, frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's the meaning of this customization?"
Liu Yue smiled and invited Du Yunxue to sit down, Shen Xing served tea again, and she said, "Miss also knows that most of the jewelry on the market is already ready. As for the clothes, although you can ask a tailor to tailor them, but The styles of clothes are often the same, and there is nothing new to wear, and it is difficult to attract the attention of others."
She paused, seeing that Du Yunxue seemed to be interested, she continued, "But our Qingyang Pavilion is different. For all the guests who come to our Qingyang Pavilion, we will take into account the situation of the guests themselves and where they are going. For different occasions, we can customize unique clothes and jewelry for our guests.”
Although Du Yunxue was a little ignorant, she understood the word "unique", her eyes lit up, and she looked at Liuyue with interest, "Then the clothes and jewelry you make here will be different from other people's." ?"
Liu Yue smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Song Qinghuan's heart moved, she got up and walked over.
Liu Yue saw her coming, greeted her, and introduced to Du Yunxue, "This is our boss, his surname is Qin."
The status of men and women in Chen Kingdom is similar, and there are quite a few women in business, so Du Yunxue was not surprised, but only looked Song Qinghuan up and down a few times, seeing that although her figure is graceful and pretty, her appearance can only be regarded as pretty, so she put away the look in her eyes , nodded slightly, "Boss Qin."
Song Qinghuan also nodded in response, and said with a smile, "I don't know what to call the girl?"
"My surname is Du."
"It turned out to be Ms. Du." Song Qinghuan nodded and said, "The biggest feature of this store is that it customizes different jewelry and clothes according to each girl's different situation, magnifying the advantages of each person's appearance and figure, and at the same time Weaknesses are cleverly hidden."
She took a few glances at Du Yunxue, "For example, Ms. Du, you have fair skin and a bright temperament. The lotus blue color is a bit dull for you, and you can't show the advantages of a girl. It's better to wear red."
Hearing what she said, Du Yunxue nodded in agreement.
Originally, she thought she looked best in red, and there are many reds in Huaining County.But after coming here, her cousins were all dressed in plain and elegant clothes, looking very refreshing and very good-looking, so she followed suit and changed into lotus blue clothes, but she couldn't wear the scent of books .
It turns out that the crux of the matter is here!
Seeing Du Yunxue's more convinced eyes, Song Qinghuan went on to say, "Besides, the girl's waist is not slender, but her chest is very full. It's best to have a slightly tighter top. The girl's wide body doesn't show off at all. Take advantage of the girl's figure."
When Du Yunxue heard the first half of the sentence, his expression couldn't help but soften, and only after hearing the latter sentence did his expression soften a little.
Song Qinghuan glanced at her, taking in all the expressions on her face.
There are still many problems with her dressing, but she doesn't intend to tell the whole story, so she just said here, "That's why we say that dressing must be based on personal characteristics, and you can't blindly follow it, otherwise it will only be counterproductive."
Her words pierced Du Yunxue's heart.
It's fashionable in Huaining County, no one dares to compete with her anyway, but it's different in Los Angeles.
There are more girls from aristocratic families in Los Angeles, all of them are well educated and reasonable, and they are as beautiful as flowers.She is nothing like a little county magistrate's daughter, she can only be cautious, lest she make a mistake and make others laugh.Unwilling to be reconciled in his heart, he carefully imitated their dress and behavior, but it became more and more nondescript.
Arriving here today, my heart is really enlightened.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows, "Then how long does it usually take for you to customize clothing and jewelry?"
Grandmother's birthday banquet is just three days away. If she can make a big splash at the birthday banquet, let's see if those cousins with high eyes will dare to underestimate her!
Du Yunxue has always been competitive.
When she came to Los Angeles this time, she was looking for the young master at the beginning, but it has been more than half a month since she was wandering the streets all day, and she never saw the young master again, so she was inevitably discouraged. .
And the grandfather's family didn't want to see her and mother, this time they came so early this time, and they were mocking them for the autumn wind, how could she swallow this breath?
If he could frustrate those people at the birthday banquet three days later, it would be considered that the trip to Los Angeles was not in vain.
Song Qinghuan's eyes turned, "Because it just opened today, there are a lot of orders received, and it usually takes about ten days."
When Du Yunxue heard this, she looked disappointed, "It will take so long? Can it be rushed? I can add money."
"I don't know what occasion Miss Du is going to wear?"
"In three days' time, my grandmother's birthday banquet will be held." Du Yunxue said without doubting him.
Song Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat.
It turned out that she came to Beijing for a banquet, so I don't know... who is her grandfather's family?
"I don't know the name of Miss Du's maternal ancestral family?" She smiled and asked casually.
"My surname is Han." Du Yunxue said, seeing Song Qinghuan's puzzled expression, the competitive temperament in his heart emerged again, "Boss Qin doesn't know my maternal ancestor's family? Han Jieyu in the palace is my own aunt!"
Her grandfather had been an official all his life, but in the end he was just a small servant of the Ministry of Rites, not a big man.Her aunt's name was much more famous, so Han Jieyu was brought out.
Although Han Jieyu is a concubine and her mother is just an unfavored concubine, others don't need to know about these things in the house, all they need to know is that she has an aunt who is Jieyu!
Song Qinghuan's snow pupils narrowed, and a touch of joy rose in her heart.
Her aunt is Han Jieyu? !This is really hard to find, and it's easy to get here!
There was only a look of envy on his face, "It turns out that Miss Du's aunt is Han Jieyu from the palace! The Six Emperor Ji Su Yan is Miss Du's cousin?"
Du Yunxue's vanity was greatly satisfied, she raised her chin proudly, "Exactly!"
Song Qinghuan smiled at her, "I don't know that Miss Du is actually a relative of the emperor, disrespect and disrespect!"
Du Yunxue gave a resounding "Mm", and her tone became more and more arrogant, "Then can you hurry up here? My grandmother's birthday party is a big event, and I cannot neglect it."
"Naturally." Song Qing replied with a smile, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
She didn't expect to catch up with Su Yan's line so quickly, but God really helped her!Since Su Yan is going to the birthday banquet in the Han Mansion, of course she has to accept Du Yunxue's order, and she has to use her housekeeping skills to do it!
After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Xing, "Shen Xing, measure the size for Miss Du."
Shen Xing complied, and came over with a soft ruler to measure Du Yunxue's size.
Song Qinghuan looked at her and smiled, "Our store has several prices, upper, middle and lower. The prices are different, and the materials are also different. I don't know which one Ms. Du wants?" She said, and handed over the price list.
Du Yunxue opened it, her eyes were straightened, and her heart ached.
Here you can customize a complete set of clothes and jewelry, the cheapest price is 100 taels, the price of medium materials is 300 taels, and the most expensive price is 500 taels.
Song Qinghuan glanced at her sudden change of expression, sneered in his heart, but said more affectionately, "Ordinary girls and young ladies usually choose the middle class, but Ms. Du's identity is different from them, and she is a relative of the emperor. You have to choose the best material to bring out your magnanimity, don’t you think so?”
Du Yunxue grinned in embarrassment, and answered vaguely.
Song Qing laughed happily, took away the price list in her hand, looked at Liuyue and said, "Liuyue, write down Miss Du's information well. A set of high-end prices, come to pick it up in the afternoon the next day, and Shen Xing just now. Record the data that came out."
As he spoke, he looked at Du Yunxue with a smile on his face, "Usually we have to pay extra for expediting, but today is the first day the store opens, and Ms. Du is sincerely taking care of our business, so this expedited fee will be waived for Ms. Du." Yes. But... I would like to ask Ms. Du to pay 200 taels as a deposit first."
Du Yunxue ordered a set with a high price in a daze, and she was still in pain. When she heard that the expedited fee was waived, she breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, her heart beat up again.
200 two deposits? !How can she have so much money on her? !
As if seeing Du Yunxue's embarrassment, Song Qinghuan smiled slightly, "Miss Du didn't bring so much money with her? It doesn't matter, Miss Du can go back first, and send a maid to bring it later, but it must be within today."
Du Yunxue opened her mouth, as if about to say something, but Song Qinghuan rushed ahead of her and said, "Miss Du knows that the clothes and jewelry we make are all tailor-made according to the individual's figure, and it is impossible They are sold to other girls, so they have to collect the deposit first before starting to make. If Ms. Du can't send the deposit today, it may be too late to make it."
Now that we've talked about this, how can Du Yunxue refuse?He could only respond awkwardly, and said, "Then I'll ask someone to deliver it when I get back."
Song Qinghua responded with a smile, "Does Miss Du have any other requests?"
Collect people's money and do things for others.Although she didn't like Du Yunxue, she still had the professional ethics that she should have.
Du Yunxue was still immersed in the heartache of having to pay so much money all of a sudden, and upon hearing this, she only looked up at her in a daze, and said absently, "Okay... just look good."
Song Qing laughed more and more appropriately, "Please rest assured, Miss Du, you will be satisfied."
She stood up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests, "Then... Ms. Du can leave now. I'll wait for Ms. Du's deposit to arrive, and then start making for Ms. Du."
Du Yunxue also stood up, forced a smile, and walked out of Qingyang Pavilion with Chun Xing's support.
Watching her figure disappear outside the door, the smile on Song Qinghuan's mouth faded.
Liu Yue cleaned up the teacups on the table, looked at Song Qinghuan and asked curiously, "Why did Your Highness agree to expedite her? Isn't this girl the daughter of the magistrate of Huaining County?"
Song Qinghuan said "Yes", "I'm interested in her identity. If it weren't for her relationship with Han Jieyu and Liu Diji, and because of her unlovable temperament, this business of hers would I definitely won't take it."
Liu Yue blinked her big eyes and understood a little, "Your Highness wants to use her to break into the palace?"
"Yes."
Song Qinghuan agreed, saw Shen Chuhan coming out from behind, turned around and smiled at him, "Things went much smoother than I imagined."
Shen Chuhan followed suit with a smile, "Congratulations, Ah Wan, from now on, just wait for the fish to take the bait."
In the evening, Du Yunxue really sent her maid named Chun Xing to bring the deposit over, Song Qing happily accepted it with a smile, sent Chun Xing away, and started to prepare.
Whether Du Yunxue can be a blockbuster at her grandmother's birthday banquet determines whether she can successfully catch up with Su Yan, so Song Qinghuan made extra serious preparations, and stayed busy until late at night every day. The cloth shop and Qingyang Pavilion ran at three o'clock and one line.
Although Shen Chuhan felt distressed, he had no choice but to stay up late with her every day.
After working for several days, I finally got the finished product back from the jewelry shop and fabric shop in the afternoon of the third day.After carefully checking and confirming that there were no mistakes, he let out a long sigh of relief and sat in the shop waiting for Du Yunxue to pick up the goods.
It happened that there was a customer in the store at this time, Liu Yue and Shen Xing were greeting that customer.
Du Yunxue arrived earlier than the agreed time, and she was indeed wearing a bright red jacket today, which was very bright and eye-catching.
Song Qinghuan thought it was a bit funny.
Although Du Yunxue has a bit of a domineering young lady's temper, she is a little cuter than those people who hide needles in their cotton.
Standing up to meet her, she nodded towards Du Yunxue, "Miss Du is here." Her expression was clear and calm, neither too warm nor too cold.
She is doing high-end business, so naturally she has to carry the shelf she should carry.
Seeing her reassurance, the suspicion in Du Yunxue's eyes really subsided a bit, and then she glanced at the other guests who were talking with Liu Yue and Shen Xing, and then she was a little more reassured.
After paying the deposit that day, she regretted it.
500 taels of silver, if normal, it would be enough for her to buy several sets of clothes and jewelry.I didn't look at any samples, and I didn't ask too many questions. I was fooled in such a daze. After thinking about it afterwards, I felt more and more uneasy.
In the past few days, Chun Xing has been sent to sneak a look several times, seeing that the store is still open as usual, and customers come to the door from time to time, so she is a little relieved.But in the end, he was still a little uncertain, so he came early with Chun Xing before the appointed time.
"Boss Qin, are all my things ready?"
"It's ready, Ms. Du please. Liuyue, bring Ms. Du's things." As he spoke, he raised the brocade curtain and invited Du Yunxue into the private room next door specially set up for guests to change clothes.
Liu Yue quickly came in with two big boxes.
Song Qinghuan put the box on the table and motioned for Du Yunxue to open it herself.
Du Yunxue dubiously opened the two wooden boxes, and when she saw the contents inside, her eyes immediately became straight.Take it out, feel it left and right, look at it, and still gesticulate on the body, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Song Qinghuan chuckled, not to mention the style, she used the best Yunwu brocade for this dress.The winter clothes themselves are relatively heavy, so using light and thin cloud brocade can reduce the bulkiness, bring an elegant and dusty feeling, and neutralize the vulgarity between Du Yunxue's eyebrows and eyes.As for the set of pearl and hairpin jewelry, it was even more exquisitely crafted.
"Miss Du is still satisfied, do you want to try?"
Du Yunxue nodded hastily, "Okay."
Song Qinghuan left the private room for a while, and asked Chunxing to wait on Du Yunxue to change his shirt.
Not long after, she heard a slight exclamation from inside, and she smiled, knowing that the effect of this jacket might have amazed Chun Xing and Du Yunxue, so she raised her voice slightly and asked, "Miss Du, are you still satisfied?"
"Satisfied." Du Yunxue replied with a trembling voice.
Song Qing smiled happily and turned to greet other guests without urging her.
After waiting for a long time, Du Yunxue changed back into her own clothes and came out with a strange blush on her face and eyes full of excitement.
Song Qinghuan smiled softly, "If Ms. Du is satisfied, please pay the remaining balance."
Why does Du Yunxue still feel that the price is expensive?Hearing this, she hurriedly asked Chun Xing to pay the rest of the money, thanked Song Qinghuan, hugged the two big boxes tightly in her arms, and went out happily.
With this set of costumes, she will definitely be a blockbuster at the birthday banquet tomorrow, and by then, she will impress those who look down on her!
What's more, I heard that at the grandma's birthday banquet tomorrow, several aunts intend to meet Mr. Ruyi for her cousins, so they invited many princes from aristocratic families to be guests.
She came to Luocheng this time to pursue Mr. Shen, but she didn't want to hear from him for more than half a month. Maybe Mr. Shen had left Luocheng long ago. If she could find another good son-in-law, she would not be in vain. Put up with the blank eyes and walk around!
Thinking about it this way, he became more and more elated, and was just waiting for tomorrow to shine at the birthday banquet!
Song Qinghuan looked at her buoyant footsteps, and curled her lips coldly.
Du Yunxue, please don't let me down!
*
The next day, there was a birthday banquet for the old lady of the Han family.
In Luo City, although the Han family is not considered a top-notch family, the old man of the Han family has been an official in the court for many years and has his own connections.What's more, they also have a daughter who is a concubine in the palace. Although she is only Jieyu, she has given birth to the Six Empresses after all, so she can be regarded as an evergreen tree in the palace.
Therefore, many people came to Mrs. Han's birthday banquet.
Du Yunxue got up early, had a hasty breakfast, and asked Chun Xing to dress up for her carefully.At this time, her mother must have gone to show her courtesy to her grandmother, and she will not take care of her.
Everything was ready, seeing that it was almost time, Du Yunxue took Chun Xing to the front garden.
At this time, the luncheon has not yet started, and her cousins must have gathered there.Moreover, maybe the sons of the aristocratic families who came are also there.
Thinking of it this way, my heart suddenly became happy, and I showed a big smile to myself in the bronze mirror, and walked towards the garden with my head held high.
Before she got close, she heard laughter and laughter from the garden, among which were faintly mixed with a man's voice, which made her feel more happy and her pace quickened.
Turning around a bush, seeing the cousins gathered not far ahead, the smile on his face deepened, and he was about to walk quickly when he heard fragmented sentences drifting into his ears.
Faintly, it seemed that he heard his own name, and he couldn't help but stop with a serious face, and listened attentively with his ears.
"What do you think Du Yunxue will be wearing today?" The person who spoke was Han Xin, the daughter of the second wife's concubine, her second uncle's daughter.
"Who knows?" A disdainful voice sounded, "She and her mother came so early this time, so I don't know why they are interested in our family." The most arrogant and arrogant, quite dismissive of himself.
"No, she has to learn from us in everything, and she doesn't look in the mirror. As for her poor appearance from a small family, even if she learns our dress, isn't she just imitating us?" Han Xin said mockingly, " A few days ago, I saw my eldest sister wearing a lake green dress, which was fresh and pleasant, so she also went to find a lotus blue one to wear, and she wore so many gold and silver beads on her hair, nondescript, she looked like a nouveau riche, It's really laughable!"
"Eldest sister, second sister, what if someone overhears us talking about Cousin Yunxue behind our backs?" A timid voice rang out, it was Han Jing from the third bedroom.
The first room, the second room and Han Jieyu are both descendants of Mrs. Han, and the third room is the same as Du Yunxue's mother, but they are not the same aunt.On weekdays, Han Jing's status in the mansion is not very high, she is just a follower of Han Shan and Han Xin.
Hearing what Han Jing said, Han Xin seemed a little angry, and his tone was raised a little, "What? Are you pitying her? She is doing well, why should you be pitiful? I heard that she was looking for her aunt the day before yesterday. I paid 500 taels of silver at one time, who knows why I went there."
The sharp and harsh voice over there was still chattering, but Du Yunxue was already trembling with anger. She couldn't care about anything else at the moment, and stepped out with a gloomy expression, staring at the three people who were discussing in front of her.
Seemingly feeling a gloomy gaze on him, Han Shan, Han Xin and Han Jing all turned to look.When he saw this, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide open, and he froze in place.
The person walking in front of him clearly still had Du Yunxue's familiar face, but there seemed to be something different about it.
I saw that she was wearing a crescent white gown with narrow sleeves and a concubine-colored cloud skirt, which was as long as the floor.Different from the general top and skirt style, the hem of Du Yunxue's gown is tucked into the waist of the skirt, while the long skirt is raised to the chest, outlining the fullness of the chest.
Clusters of magnolias were embroidered with exquisite silver thread on the cuffs and skirt, which swayed vividly as she walked.The cloud satin skirt is made into a moonlight skirt, with as many pleats as it is faintly shining, it is really beautiful.
Because of the cool weather, she wore a shawl that fluttered in the wind, which not only kept her warm but also looked beautiful. She looked slender, charming and charming, with a special charm.
Du Yunxue's advantage lies in her fair skin and bright facial features.On weekdays, she either wears rich colors of bright red and green, which actually overwhelms the bright features, or she wears plain colors like the noble girls in Beijing, which makes her look more bland.Moreover, she has a slightly plump figure, and although wearing an ordinary top and skirt style can cover the shortcomings of the waist, it also covers up the advantages.
So Song Qinghuan specially designed Tang Dynasty skirts and shirts for her to maximize her strengths and avoid weaknesses, highlighting her unique charm.
For the first time, no gold, silver, pearls and jade were piled up on the blue silk tied into a weeping willow bun. There was only a jasper hairpin with orchid pattern, which echoed the magnolia embroidered on the skirt.Another piece of gilt and silver hairpin with double flowers in butterfly play is inserted, with tassels hanging down, and the butterfly spreads its wings and dances lightly, making it more realistic and agile.
Han Shan and the others were dumbfounded.
Was this beautiful and charming woman in front of them really the Du Yunxue they were familiar with?
Seeing their stunned faces, Du Yunxue felt a tinge of pleasure in her heart, and snorted coldly, pretending she didn't hear what she just said, "What are the cousins talking about?"
Han Shan and Han Xin looked embarrassed.
Originally, they were waiting to see Du Yunxue make a fool of themselves today, how did they know she was so radiant?
Han Xin glared at her, and said in a strange way, "Hey, my cousin is dressed up so beautifully today, who is it for?"
"Grandmother's birthday party, of course you have to dress brightly so as not to disgrace your grandparents." With confidence in her heart, Du Yunxue replied more calmly.
Han Xin snorted softly, and muttered, "If you want to lose face, you will lose face to your Du family. What does it have to do with my Han family?"
Du Yunxue's complexion darkened, and her temper flared up again. Just as she was about to refute, Han Shan rolled her eyes and came over with a smile to smooth things over, "Your cousin is so beautiful today, we couldn't even recognize her just now. "
Han Shan has the most high-spirited personality. Hearing that she actually praised herself today, Du Yunxue was immediately flattered, and said politely, "Cousin Shan, you're flattering yourself."
Han Shan reached out her hand to touch the dress on her body, and said with a smile, "The dress on my cousin's body is made of Yunwu Brocade? No wonder she walks so elegantly."
Where did Du Yunxue know that Yunwu brocade was not Yunwu brocade?Yesterday, I only felt that this material looked flimsy, but it was quite warm to wear. I didn't expect it to have a special name. I smiled a little guilty, and stammered, "Yes... yes..."
A shrewdness flashed in Han Shan's eyes, she paused thoughtfully on Du Yunxue's face, and said with a smile, "I don't know where Cousin Yunxue's suit was made? It's so pretty."
Du Yunxue is not a fool either.Han Shan and Han Xin are already better looking than themselves. If they also go to Qingyang Pavilion, they will overshadow the limelight that I have finally won, so I kept my mind on it and smiled vaguely, "Come on My mother asked my embroiderer to make it for me before."
When she said that, Han Shan and Han Xin would definitely think that it was made in Huaining County. Could it be that they would go to Huaining County to pull on their clothes?
Sure enough, after hearing what Du Yunxue said, Han Shan looked at her suspiciously, but didn't say anything more.
When Han Xin saw that Du Yunxue had attracted Han Shan's attention, he felt a little bit unwilling at the moment, snorted softly, stepped forward and took Han Shan's arm, and said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry about it, we Go over there and have a look, I see those young masters are chatting happily."
In Chen Kingdom, there is no such thing as a defense between men and women, and moreover, the purpose of inviting so many princes from aristocratic families today is to show them their husbands and sons-in-law, not to mention that they are already familiar with these princes, so there is nothing to avoid.
While speaking, she had already walked towards the young masters in front, and Han Jing naturally followed her.Du Yunxue rolled her eyes, regardless of whether Han Shan and Han Xin were welcome or not, she followed suit and walked over.
As soon as the few people passed by, the sons and brothers who were talking stopped and looked towards them.
Someone in the crowd knew Han Shan and Han Xin, and was about to say hello when their eyes fell on Du Yunxue behind them, but they couldn't take their eyes off of them anymore and stared straight at them.
When Han Shan and Han Xin saw their expressions, their faces turned green.
Those sons and sons who happened to be born didn't see their displeasure, so they blinked their eyes and asked, "Miss Han, Miss Han, I wonder if the girl behind you is...?"
Han Xin snorted coldly, but didn't make a sound.
Han Shan reluctantly replied, "This is my cousin from Huaining County."
She didn't even introduce her name, and just said she was from Huaining County, obviously trying to make people look down on her.Du Yunxue is not a vegetarian either. Seeing everyone's gazes on her, she smiled complacently in her heart, but on the face she also imitated the Han Shan she usually saw, smiled lightly, and congratulated everyone, " The little girl, Du Yunxue, came here specially to attend my grandmother's birthday banquet this time."
As soon as she said that, everyone knew her relationship with the Han family. Seeing that she was also a serious relative, the expression on her face became warmer.There was that young man who likes to make trouble, and immediately went up to chat with Du Yunxue.
But in a short period of time, Du Yunxue was surrounded by several young masters from aristocratic families.
When had she ever seen such a scene, her little face was flushed, her eyes were shining brightly, and she tried her best to show the appearance of a lady who had seen the world.
As a result, Han Shan and Han Xin were pushed out of the circle instead.
Han Xin and Han Shan have always been the focus of attention in this small circle. When have they been ignored like this before? Now they feel extremely humiliated. They stare at Du Yunxue whose face is flushed with hatred, wishing to tear her face apart. , Let's see how she still hooks up with people.
After chatting there for a while, it seems that there is no momentum to end it.Han Xin glanced at Han Shan aggrievedly, "Sister, are we going to let Du Yunxue steal the limelight like this?"
Han Shan snorted coldly, "Why are you in a hurry? Isn't there a good master who hasn't come yet? When she comes, let's see if Du Yunxue can still be arrogant."
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the servant's shrill announcement came from outside the garden, "The Six Emperors have arrived—"
A sneer flashed across Han Shan's eyes.
The master who loves to show off is here!
It's just to attend a birthday banquet, and bring the servants along, in case others don't know her identity as Emperor Ji?I think it's because I was oppressed by that person in the palace, so I want to find some sense of presence outside the palace.
Disdainful in his heart, but with a calm expression on his face, he followed the crowd and saluted the Sixth Emperor Ji Su Yan who was walking slowly, "I have seen Your Highness."
Slowly appearing in front of the crowd was a woman in sea-blue color embroidered peony brocade double-breasted palace dress. Her head was full of beads, her eyes were like water, her complexion was delicate and white, her eyes were almond-shaped and her cheeks were peachy. Soft posture.
It was Su Yan, the Sixth Emperor of Chen Kingdom.
Compared with Su Rao's charming and charming, Su Yan's appearance is slightly inferior, but she also has an elegant and refined posture, which is better than a word of softness.
She came here in such a way, and with the blessing of the status of Emperor Concubine, everyone's eyes naturally turned to her in unison.
Su Yan covered her face with her hands, and smiled coquettishly, "We are all relatives and friends, so there is no need to be polite."
Han Shan suppressed the sarcasm in her eyes, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you are here. I was talking about you with Xiner just now."
Su Yan looked at them with a smile, lowered her voice slightly, and said angrily, "Father spent the night with my concubine last night, and my concubine woke up a little late this morning, so it's late."
Han Shan and Han Xin followed her words enviously, "It's a good thing for the emperor to love his aunt."
Su Yan smiled lightly, her eyes casually looked back, and fell on Du Yunxue, she couldn't help but pause, and hesitated for a moment before she asked, "That... is Cousin Yunxue?"
Seeing Su Yan's gaze, Du Yunxue hastily stepped forward and saluted Su Yan, "Yunxue has seen Your Highness." Although she spoke confidently in Qingyang Pavilion that day, in fact, the Six Empresses, she Haven't met a few times.Just now, he was hesitating whether to come forward to pay respects, but Su Yan looked over and seized this opportunity.
A trace of almost invisible disgust flashed across Han Shan and Han Xin's eyes.
Su Yan smiled and sized Du Yunxue a few times, "It really is Cousin Yunxue? I haven't seen you for a long time, but Cousin Yunxue is getting more and more beautiful."
Du Yunxue's cheeks flushed, "Yunxue is just a willow, she dare not compare with His Highness."
Su Yan smiled faintly, glanced at the faces of the people, and took a step forward to grab Du Yunxue's arm, "Cousin Yunxue's clothes today are quite unique."
Seeing her such an intimate behavior, Du Yunxue's heart was beating like a drum with excitement, and in response, her mind was in a mess.
Su Yan's smile became more and more pleasant, and she glanced at Han Shan, Han Xin, Han Jing and the others behind her, "Is it time for grandma's birthday banquet to begin? Let's go to the front hall."
As he spoke, he took Du Yunxue's arm and walked forward first.
Han Xin and Han Shan looked at each other, their noses twisted with anger.This Du Yunxue is just wearing a bright and beautiful skin, but does she really take herself seriously?
The two of them have never been ignored before, and the dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts are rising up.
At this time, Han Xin suddenly saw the pond not far away, his eyes lit up, and he blinked at Han Shan.Han Shan quickly understood, she curled her lips into a smile, and there was a look of resentment in her eyes.
"Speaking of which, His Highness hasn't been out of the palace for a long time."
Su Yan was carrying Du Yunxue and gossiping, when Han Xin suddenly stepped between the two of them, pushed Du Yunxue away, and deliberately pushed Du Yunxue.
Du Yunxue staggered, and managed to stabilize her body.Chun Xing behind her hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Su Yan glanced at the two of them lightly, her eyes were calm and there was a trace of disgust.
Du Yunxue couldn't be more reconciled, she raised her skirt and was about to catch up, but suddenly felt that someone bumped her body, her foot stepped on the ground, and she fell into the pond with a "plop"!
The water in the pool was bone-chillingly cold in winter, and as soon as Du Yunxue fell into the water, she shivered from the cold.
Chun Xing was terrified, and hurried forward and lay down by the pond and shouted, "Miss! Miss!" Then she turned her head and looked at the crowd crowding behind her to watch the excitement, "Come on! Come and save my lady!"
The culprits, Han Shan and Han Xin, just dawdled and did not move, pretending to be overly surprised and not knowing what to do.
The host has not spoken, so how can others say anything?
Du Yunxue splashed a few times in the pool, feeling cold and frightened, soon choked on the water, her face turned pale.
Su Yan frowned, looked at Han Shan and Han Xin who were gloating behind her, and said in a cold voice, "Why don't you get someone to save them soon?!"
After Su Yan spoke, Han Shan pretended to recover, and quickly called someone to jump into the pond to rescue Du Yunxue.
After finally being rescued, Du Yunxue was shivering from the cold, her lips were dark blue, her face was pale, and she looked like a drowned rat, the brilliance she had just now had completely disappeared.Chun Xing hurriedly ran over to support her, crying with tears and snot in her nose.
Seeing the slight displeasure on Su Yan's face, Han Shan didn't dare to do it again, and looked at the servant behind her, "Why don't you take Miss Cousin back to your room to change?"
"No need." Su Yan suddenly said lightly, looked at Han Shan meaningfully, and then looked at the maid following behind, "Baosheng, help Miss Cousin to change clothes in the palace room." As Di Ji, although she doesn't come to Han Mansion often, she has her own courtyard.
Han Shan's expression froze.
The maid named Bao Sheng responded, and together with Chun Xing, she supported Du Yunxue who was already frozen and went towards Su Yan's courtyard.
Su Yan glanced at Han Shan and Han Xin, "I'll go and have a look, and I'll go to the front hall with Cousin Yunxue later, and you can talk to your grandmother." After that, she didn't look at them, and went straight with her.
Han Shan and Han Xin's expressions became more and more ugly, and they suddenly felt a chill on their foreheads.
When I looked up, it was snowing!
