A girl came in a hurry and said to Zhuo Zhonghai and Chang Meifeng, "The second young lady is here."
Everyone turned their heads and looked at the road leading from Yingyuexuan to the main courtyard. It was a path paved with bluestones and green grass and flowers were planted on the roadside. She walked slowly out from the shade of the trees, The wind gently blew the plain white skirt, the white tube top Confucian skirt, the white double-breasted blouse, a touch of light green on the waist, and a priceless jade wall hanging on the side. The light green tassels swayed gently with her gentle steps.
Chang Meifeng frowned: "Even if she doesn't like to dress up, she can't dress so plainly, right? People who don't know would think she is going to a funeral!"
Zhuo Zhonghai glared at Chang Meifeng and said displeasedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of funeral are you going to? Whose funeral are you going to?"
Chang Meifeng knew she had made a mistake and laughed dryly: "Didn't I just say this casually? Master, look, Master Ding is having a dinner at his house. What is she wearing? This -" She couldn't say the next words, because Xia Yuanqiu has emerged from the shade of the trees into the bright sun. The sunlight shines on her clothes, reflecting the light like fine wine soaked in a luminous cup.
The old lady who had been silent for a long time finally spoke: "This is Liuguang Brocade. We don't have it in our house, and it is even rarer in the cloth houses in the capital."
Qinlan suddenly remembered something and shouted softly: "Last time Pingyang Marquis came to our house, didn't he give her a big box of Liuguang brocade? Huh, there is such a good thing, but he can swallow it all by himself, and he doesn't know how to take it. Come out and honor your parents and grandmother."
She was so unscrupulous that she pushed Xia Yuanqiu to the point of being unfilial and unvirtuous with just one sentence. Zhuo Zhonghai and the old lady were the worst offenders, and they immediately disliked Xia Yuanqiu even more.
The flowing silk of her clothes made her snowy face without makeup look even more beautiful. If Qinlan just now was as beautiful and refined as a goddess descending to earth, then at this moment, Xia Yuanqiu's appearance made her truly appear from the clouds. Falling into the mortal world, the goddess turned into a vulgar woman.
Her dark eyes were fixed on everyone, and she glanced around their faces. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she said with a smile: "Are you waiting for me?"
Seeing her like this, Zhuo Qinlan couldn't bear it, and immediately said in a sharp voice: "Second sister, you are so arrogant. We, the whole family, have to wait for you."
Xia Yuanqiu's smile grew stronger and he said, "I'm really sorry, I got up a little late today, but fortunately, it's not too late. It's a good time to rush over now."
When Zhuo Zhonghai saw that a volcano was about to erupt, he felt a faint pain in his temples, and hurriedly said: "Go quickly, don't waste time." It must be said that Qinlan is a step behind Qinya in terms of beauty and temperament. For the most part, as long as a man is not blind, he will know what to choose.
In addition to the old lady, Zhuo Zhonghai and his wife, and the three siblings of the Zhuo family are all going to attend the banquet of Ding Mansion. The five masters plus their respective maids, the Prime Minister's Mansion has prepared two large carriages. Yes, there are only two decent carriages. Zhuo Zhonghai usually uses one and the inner palace uses one. The servants have other small carriages when traveling. The whole family never goes out together. Passing the door, not to mention there is an extra Xia Yuanqiu this time.
Normally, the master and his wife should share a carriage, the siblings should share one carriage, and the servants should take another carriage, but Zhuo Qinlan refused to ride in the same carriage as Xia Yuanqiu.
Zhuo Qinlan covered her chest with one hand and said artificially: "Sister, I'm afraid I don't know. Third sister, I have a problem. There are too many people in this carriage, and I feel so stuffy that I feel uncomfortable even breathing."
