Mu Yunyao sold out: "I'm here to try on the clothes for Madam today, why don't you put your clothes on and take a look?"
The maid on the side couldn't help but interject: "The pattern has been looked at, what's the difference between wearing it or not? If at the banquet, the lady's clothes are exactly the same as those worn by ordinary women, and this face will be embarrassed. ."
The expression on Mrs. Jin's face also faded: "I like this dress very much. You can follow Yinhong to receive the reward. Next time, if there is a chance, I will still ask you to make clothes."
Mu Yunyao still had a smile on her face: "I'm not ashamed, Madam will know when I put it on."
"Why is this girl so ignorant of the rules? Madam has already let you down, so come with me, the reward is indispensable for you." The maid called Yinhong scolded.
However, Mu Yunyao stood still, looking confident.
"If that's the case, I'll try it on." Mrs. Jin suddenly said, motioning for Yinhong to put on her clothes, then turned around and went to the inner room.
Yinhong looked indignant: "Madam, you are too embarrassing for that girl, you must know that you are going to attend the governor's wife's banquet, and you can't neglect one bit."
"I finally made it, just try it on in the room, and it's a must, why does it make you talk so much?" Mrs. Jin looked worried.
"It's the servant who talks too much."
At first, Mrs. Jin didn't take it seriously, but when the clothes were on her body, she looked surprised and happy, and the maid Yinhong was speechless.
The size of this dress is extraordinarily suitable. The neckline, shoulders, sleeves, waist and skirt are all satisfactory. Mrs. Jin regrets that her bowels are all green. If she knew this, she would not let Mrs. Chen say anything. Go to see clothes.
Thinking about it, I walked out. Just after taking two steps, I heard Yinhong exclaim: "Hu... Madam, look at the skirt!"
Mrs. Jin bowed her head, and there were golden lights disappearing on the skirt: "What was that just now?"
"It's King Butterfly. As soon as you walked around, it seemed that King Butterfly flew out of the skirt!"
Mrs. Jin hurriedly walked around, looking down at the skirt as she walked: "It's really ingenious!" At this point, she already understood why Mu Yunyao said that others couldn't learn the essence of it, and this Kingdee couldn't see it if she didn't move. Can you learn
Mrs. Jin carefully changed her clothes and ordered Yinhong to put it away: "In five days, I will wear this dress to the banquet."
Seeing Mrs. Jin walking out with a smile on her face, Mu Yunyao knew that she had discovered the ingenuity.
"You girl, didn't you guess Mrs. Chen's mind and let her watch it on purpose?" Mrs. Jin spoke with a hint of intimacy.
"Actually, there are only so many patterns in the clothes. I thought that if I was thinking about the pattern, it would be different from others. It is better to work on other delicate areas. It took me a long time to come up with such a method. , Madam likes it, just reward me with a few more coins."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely reward you a few more?" Mrs. Jin smiled brightly, and intimately wanted to keep her for dinner in the Cao Mansion. Mu Yunyao knew the proportions and quickly rejected it.
When she left, Mrs. Jin was still smiling.
Yinhong, the maid on the side, couldn't help but say, "Madam, it's just one piece of clothing, so you give her five hundred taels, isn't it too much?"
"Yinhong, have you been following me for a long time, making your mind bigger?"
"Slave doesn't dare." Yinhong knelt down with a plop, with a terrified expression on her face, "It's the slave who wants to be wrong. Seeing that Madam you like her so much, I'm afraid that you will accept her as a maid and take my place."
"Don't worry, no matter how skillful that girl is, she can't replace you." How could a little girl with such a temperament be willing to be a maid.
Returning to the inn with five hundred taels of silver notes, Mu Yunyao happily handed the silver note to Su Qing: "Mom, look, I have to reward you."
"Why so much?" A piece of clothing is worth five hundred taels of silver
"My daughter's craftsmanship is invaluable. Five hundred taels still feels cheap. Just wait. When my fame spreads, my mother will get cramps every day by counting the silver bills every day." In front of Su Qing, Mu Mu said Yunyao is always uncontrollably acting like a coquettish girl.
Su Qing couldn't help but tap the tip of her nose: "Okay, my mother is waiting to count the banknotes."
In the next few days, Mu Yunyao specially observed at the entrance of the inn, and really saw many girls' skirts embroidered with tangled peony, almost exactly the same as what she made for Mrs. Jin. She propped her chin and showed a sly smile. The shopkeeper of Caiyue Pavilion helped her a lot!
On the seventh day of June, the governor's wife's banquet was held as scheduled. Today is also the emperor's birthday. This banquet is a gathering of officials who did not go to Beijing to celebrate their birthday. They sincerely wish for the emperor's birthday. With the written congratulatory form, they send their loyalty to the Xiling of Kyoto.
Mrs. Chen arrived early and waited to see Mrs. Jin's face. It has not been a matter of a day or two for her and Mrs. Jin to be at odds with each other. All the ladies here are aware of the fact that peony tangled dresses have become popular in Jingling City recently. I know how many jokes I've seen.
"Mrs. Jin is here." I don't know who said it, and everyone looked over.
Seeing that she was still wearing that dress, she couldn't help showing a look of schadenfreude. Mrs. Chen stepped forward and said apologetically, "It's all my fault for being quick-tempered. Seeing the unique pattern of your clothes, I talked to others. Who knows that within two days, it will attract others to imitate."
"It's hard to paint a tiger's skin, and it's not unusual to just imitate some flowers." Mrs. Jin's smile did not change, and when she saw the governor's wife coming, she stepped forward to greet her.
Mrs. Chen sneered, and was about to turn around and say some gossip, when she saw everyone looking dumbfounded.
It took a while for the governor's wife to ask Madam Jin to get up, and she stepped forward and took her hand to look carefully: "I also heard about the imitation of your dress in Jinling City, and when I saw it today, I realized that such clothes are ordinary people. can be imitated.”
While walking, the peony branches trembled slightly, the king butterfly flew up and down, and the sun shone brightly.
"It's also my luck that I met a little girl with a clever mind. If Madam likes it, when you are free, I will bring her and let her do it for you."
The governor's wife had two more smiles on her face: "That's naturally good."
Looking at it alone, I didn't feel it, but when Mrs. Jin and everyone stood together, the contrast immediately became clear.
Although other people's clothes are close to the body, the waist and sleeves are somewhat enlarged. Looking at Mrs. Jin's clothes, the waistline is pinched to make the waist tighter. The bottom is wide, and the line of the chest is more obvious, revealing a mature and noble charm, which can be said to be a standout, suppressing everyone else.
Mrs. Chen had already hid behind the crowd and did not dare to lift her head up. She was wearing clothes newly sent by Caiyue Pavilion. It was said to be the most popular new style in Kyoto. The colors were solemn and gorgeous, and the skirt also had a peony pattern. , extraordinarily graceful and luxurious. It's just that compared to Mrs. Jin, she seems to be ten years older, and she is also a little bit too embarrassed.
At this time, no one paid any attention to her. Anyone who could talk to Mrs. Jin stepped forward to inquire about the origin of the clothes.
