After Mu Yexiao left, Lord Shi and his wife were left staring at each other. Mrs. Shi was furious: "Lord Mu is so ungrateful. Master, I can't swallow this. And you two, get out."
After much difficulty, she came up with a plan to send the two sisters away, but it failed. She would have to look after them in the future. Thinking of this, Mrs. Shi became even angrier.
The sisters were also a little disappointed. At first glance, Lord Mu was younger and more handsome than Lord Shi. Everyone likes good-looking people. Unfortunately, they were not destined to be together, so they could only turn around and leave.
Lord Shi stared at Madam Shi. At this time, of course, he also understood some of Madam Shi's little thoughts. He snorted, "You can't swallow this breath. What else do you want to do? Well, this matter will never happen. You can go to the banquet outside if you want. I want to rest."
How could she just let it go? She had lost all her face. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. Didn't she want to use the farm tools to ascend? I will make sure you can't ascend in this life and stay in this small place.
He had no interest in the banquet outside, so he directly found the servant of Lord Shi who had come back with him and asked him to invite the person over.
Don't underestimate the servants around Lord Shi. As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, which almost means the gatekeeper in front of the high-ranking official, is more powerful than the officials in small places and should be flattered.
The prefect of this small place was nothing in front of the officials in Kyoto: "Greetings, Madam. I wonder what instructions you have for me?"
Madam Shi looked at the servant, told him her request, and then asked him to leave: "This matter, apart from you and me, cannot be told to anyone else. Do you understand?"
The servant knew this, and was obviously very experienced in doing this kind of thing: "I know."
Looking at the servant's back as he left, I believed that he would be able to do the job well. I was quite happy to think that I would be able to leave this small place soon while some people would be trapped here for the rest of their lives.
At the banquet outside, after Madam Shi Er mocked Qian Jiujiu for being useless, she went to greet other ladies in a sullen manner, not forgetting to take a look at her own daughter.
What my daughter is wearing today was bought in Kyoto. It is made of the finest materials and has designs that people here have never seen before. It will definitely dazzle these people's eyes.
When Shi Feixian came out, her gorgeous clothes were indeed eye-catching, but it was a pity that she lacked a certain temperament. She looked like a child wearing adult clothes.
Although it looks good at first glance, it will seem strange after looking at it for a while. Naturally, everyone started discussing the clothes they were wearing.
No matter where the girls are from, the things they like are similar, delicious food, beautiful things, new clothes, beautiful hair styles, etc.
"Have you noticed? Shi Feixian's clothes look really nice today."
The other little girl nodded: "Yes, it looks good, but don't you think it doesn't fit her well? It feels weird. On the contrary, the clothes worn by Miss Mu and the others are good-looking and fit her very well."
"It's a pity that we are not very familiar with each other, and she is the daughter of the county magistrate's mansion. I am too embarrassed to go up and ask where the dress was made. I just want it so much."
The girl who was talking sounded very envious, and Li Tong, who was standing by, heard the discussion. She was also Shi Feixian's classmate, so she was naturally invited.
After taking a look at Fang Xiaoxi, she found that the clothes she was wearing today were also very nice, so she couldn't help but lean over and said, "Xiaoxi, do you think the clothes Miss Beibei and the others are wearing today are very nice? I heard many people discussing it, and I don't know where they bought them."
Fang Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows. Sure enough, it depends on the person. She was dressed well today, so why didn't anyone pay attention to her? It must be a matter of identity.
"I know. They are from the newly opened Caiyifang in town. They specialize in custom-made clothes. Not only Beibei, but also Mo Yunyao, all of them have their clothes customized there."
Caiyifang needs occasions like today to increase its popularity. Beibei and the others naturally wouldn't do such a thing, and it's not appropriate, so this task fell on Fang Xiaoxi.
Although she is a peasant girl, she has a close relationship with Beibei and others, so it is understandable that she knows about it.
Li Tong was stunned: "How do you know?"
Fang Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Because the clothes I'm wearing are also from Caiyifang. If anyone doesn't believe it, they can go to Caiyifang and take a look. The clothes in Caiyifang are really beautiful."
I was thinking of promoting today's banquet. Since Caiyifang opened yesterday, there has been no promotion at all. We were just counting on today!
After Fang Xiaoxi gave the answer, everyone became interested in the name Caiyifang. If there really is such a place, they would go and take a look.
After all, Fang Xiaoxi, Beibei and others were wearing nice and tight clothes. Beibei heard the discussion but didn't say anything, after all, this was agreed upon long ago.
When Shi Feixian heard these words, she was furious. She was wearing clothes brought back from Kyoto. How could the clothes in this place compare to hers? She looked very good in the mirror when she was wearing them. These people really have no taste.
She was originally waiting for Beibei to come over and try to get close to her! Unexpectedly, Beibei ignored her completely, which made her angry and anxious. The purpose of holding this banquet was to let these ignorant people take a good look at her.
What is the grace of a lady from a noble family? However, these people only saw the clothes on Beibei and others. They really had no vision at all.
Mu Yexiao also came out of Lord Shi's room at this time and came to Qian Jiujiu's side: "Today's banquet is boring, why don't you go back."
He still had a lot of things to do in the county government office, and he didn't have time to waste here. Qian Jiujiu nodded. He had already talked a lot, and it would be a bit too bullying to show his true colors with his hands. After thinking about it, he decided to go home.
He waved at Nanbeibei and said, "Have you had enough fun? If you've had enough, go home."
Madam Shi Er had made very careful preparations for today's banquet. I heard that the ladies from noble families in the capital all played games like throwing pots and competing in poetry.
Forget about poetry, as few people know what it is. But they still have things like pitching pots. However, this is overestimating the girls here, as few of them can throw the pots in. Fortunately, there are still many people who are interested.
So it was quite lively for a while. However, these things could not attract Nannanbeibei and others at all. When they heard Qian Jiujiu calling them back, they immediately expressed their willingness to go back with them.
Fang Xiaoxi saw that Qian Jiujiu and the others had gone back, and there was no point in staying here. She couldn't help but look at Li Tong: "Li Tong, do you want to go to Caiyifang to buy clothes? I'll go with you, there's nothing fun here."
Li Tong had never had a good impression of Shi Feixian, but after hearing what Fang Xiaoxi said, she immediately agreed: "I'll go tell my parents, and then we'll go back."
At a banquet like today, the worst that can happen is that the Shi family will use it to listen to other families bragging about their own family. There is really no point in staying. When Li Tong's parents heard what Li Tong said, they nodded in agreement.
After leaving the Shi family, they headed towards Caiyifang. Not long after Fang Xiaoxi and the others left, Shi Feixian discovered that Nannanbei and Fang Xiaoxi had both left, and they hadn't even met at the entire banquet, which made him extremely angry.
The person she wanted to show off to didn't care at all, which made Shi Feixian angry again. No, she couldn't bear it. What Caiyifang? Wait, she wanted to go and see what it was. But she couldn't go now, after all, she was the host of the banquet and couldn't leave.
After the banquet, she will definitely go to Caiyifang to have a look. If Caiyifang can't make clothes that satisfy her, she will just have to wait.
At the entrance of Caiyifang, Li Tong followed Fang Xiaoxi in and was warmly welcomed: "Li Tong, come in with me."
Taking Li Tong to the second floor, there was an office specifically for Fang Xiaoxi, where she could design and make clothes to facilitate her work.
He made a cup of tea and placed it in front of Li Tong: "Have some tea. What kind of clothes do you like? Tell me."
Li Tong was puzzled by Fang Xiaoxi's actions, and then she widened her eyes: "Xiao, Xiaoxi, you didn't open Caiyifang, did you?"
Seeing Li Tong's surprised expression, Fang Xiaoxi smiled at her and said, "No, it's Beibei who opened it, but I'm the designer here. Did you see the clothes that Nanbeibei and the others are wearing today? They were all designed by me."
Li Tong was surprised: "So you have this ability. Tell me, what other abilities do you have that I don't know about? Tell me the truth."
As he was about to tickle Fang Xiaoxi, Fang Xiaoxi dodged with a smile: "I am capable of so much! Stop it, what kind do you like? I'll give you one."
Li Tong began to talk seriously about what kind of clothes she liked. After the two of them had a little fun, they made the clothes that Li Tong liked, which surprised Li Tong.
"Do you think they will envy me if I go to the academy wearing clothes like this in three days?"
Fang Xiaoxi nodded aside: "Yes, that's for sure."
School will start in three days, and the busy farming season is over. It's a good time to wear new clothes.
Nan Nan also followed his parents home. When he learned that Fang Xiaoxi was at Caiyifang, he wanted to come over too, but was stopped as soon as he left the house.
"Master Nannan, please save my brother. My brother has been arrested by the prefect. He is now in jail. I have no other options, so I come to you for help."
Looking at Tong Ruyan who was crying in front of him, Nan Nan was somewhat helpless: "What's going on?"
