Chapter 27: Tailoring

Regardless of what kind of turmoil in the city of Dingjing, or the dark current, the appearance is always peaceful. The annual chrysanthemum feast is also coming soon, because of the Guangwen Hall of the school test happens to be with the chrysanthemum feast soon after, this year will also simply put together.

Unlike previous years, in this way, the calibration became nothing more than a great feast in a large court of honor and nobility.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Shen sent the big maid Xie’er to the west courtyard, saying that she had asked the tailor to come to the chrysanthemum banquet on the clothes, and also asked Shen Miao to go and pick one.

Shen Miao nodded in agreement.

In the past, Shen Miao is casually dressed to go, because she is only the tail, wearing conspicuous instead of inviting people to snicker. But now the school inspection and chrysanthemum feast together, do not do clothes but also can not be said.

At the Chrysanthemum Banquet, the wives of all the ministers were there, most of them came to look at their daughters-in-law. So all the daughters, will be dressed up to attend, just looking forward to dress up more and more beautiful. Although Mrs. Shen is not accustomed to the big house, face but still have to do. What’s more, Mrs. Shen is a person who only cares about her own interests, and if she can use Shen Miao to exchange for a marriage with a helping hand, it’s not a bad idea to sell her.

Bai Lu looked a little happy, while accompanying Shen Miao to the Rongjing Hall side of the walk, while saying: “I did not think that so soon to the chrysanthemum feast, the girl is not the most favorite chrysanthemum feast, when there can enjoy the flowers.”

Shen Miao likes the chrysanthemum banquet, but not to enjoy the flowers. But all such banquets, she is always isolated if not one, which is certainly Shen Yue Shen Qing’s push and pull, her own nature is also stupid and dull, often dressed and not very decent, only back people behind the scenes ridicule still do not know.

She loved the Chrysanthemum Feast, but only because of Fu Xiuyi.

Fu Xiuyi was present at the chrysanthemum banquet a year ago. On that day, she was again ridiculed and isolated, chrysanthemum garden beautiful purple and red, everyone is looking for the reddest and most colorful, she went to the corner, but far from seeing a pot of white chrysanthemums.

White chrysanthemum such a thing, about are used to do funeral time with, will be inherently unpleasant, and this chrysanthemum bloom is really miserable some. The petals are a little withered, I do not know whether it is beaten by the rain or the wind, a lonely branch bloomed in the corner, no one attention.

About to rise the heart of the same disease, Shen Miao only felt that he and that chrysanthemum are also the same. A lonely person, no one to see the little poor. When he was sighing, he saw a man in a fancy dress walking in front of the chrysanthemum.

He reached out and picked up the flower branch, caressing the petals with his hand. The man beside him asked him, “Ninth Brother, what’s so beautiful about this dismal flower?”

The man in fancy dress smiled, “Pity it’s delicate and pitiful.”

It is this sentence “pity it is weak and unsupported”, let Shen Miao have a good feeling about the man. When the man turned around, he was even more fascinated by his handsome appearance.

Later, Shen Miao learned from the mouths of the ladies that over there was His Majesty’s ninth prince, Ding Wang Fu Xiuyi.

Perhaps young adore a person is always unreasonable, FuXiuYi that clearly is talking about chrysanthemums, but she felt that she empathized. She thought, such a gentle person, married to him, he will also be as compassionate as a lonely flower general compassion for her.

It was a pity that she had thought wrong after all. FuXiuYi pity delicate flower, pity the world, pity lintel lady, but unfortunately never pity her. For her to pay for everything, in his view are based on the wife’s “responsibility”. Those days of respect for each other as guests, but also is Fu Xiuyi forced to endure the disgust with her play a drama.

He also did not pity the chrysanthemum, but just casually mentioned, then she took it for real.

“Miss?” Unconsciously lost in thought, actually did not realize that he had already arrived at the door of Rongjing Hall. Bai Lu busy voice to remind, Shen Miao then followed Xi Er lifted his feet and walked in.

Shen Yuanbai today has not been in, Shen old lady in a green and white brocade long buttoned clothes, she is such a old and thin, but also wear such a bright green color, straight set off the face as a ghost. Favorably, she herself is still oblivious.

Shen Yue and Shen Qing are standing beside their mothers, the second house there are two concubine daughter, helpless Ren Wan Yun himself is too strong and domineering, such a banquet, since it is not allowed to go out to grab the limelight of the concubine daughter. As for the third house, Shen Wan in addition to Chen Ruoqiu the wife, only a house, not to mention what the concubine son concubine daughter.

So in this way, only the first daughters of each house got the post to attend the flower banquet.

Shen Miao rushed Old Lady Shen to ask for peace, Ren Wan Yun looked at Shen Miao and smiled, “Xiao Wu is here, come and pick the fabric. Later on, I will let Li Niang give you the measurements.”

Shen Qing smiled and said, “Second sister and I have already chosen, just waiting for you to pick.”

Clearly, it is Xie’er who came late, but it seems like she is not, leaving a group of people to stay in the Rongjing Hall. Shen Miao did not bother with her, only walked to the soft couch with fabrics spread out.

Li Niang is a middle-aged woman in her thirties, Shen House up and down the new clothes every year are cut and bought from her family’s store. When she was young, she learned some embroidery skills from the female officials in the palace, and she made very nice clothes.

In front of the spread five or six cloths, a Begonia color and a smoky pink has been selected to the side of the pick out, that is, was picked away. Do not mention, must be Shen Qing and Shen Yue two people.

The scene of the previous life is vivid in my mind. On that day of the chrysanthemum banquet, Shen Qing was wearing a begonia-colored floral smoky cloud dress, looking enthusiastic and generous, and even more so than the flowers. And Shen Yue a colorful pink embroidered white pear satin lily thin jacket dress, is more delicate and pure beauty. And she wore a tender yellow dress, with a golden collar and jewelry given by old lady Shen, looks like a joke on herself and still don’t know it.

And that tender yellow fabric was picked at the urging of my machine aunt and sister.

Shen Yue laughed out loud and said, “Fifth sister’s skin is white, not if you pick that tender yellow color of the clothes how, and also can appear lively and lovely, is really very lined.”

Shen Qing also nodded repeatedly, “Good, across the rest of the material, it seems that the tender yellow color more set off the fifth sister some.”

Chen Ruoqiu had a smile on her lips and didn’t say anything. A hint of sarcasm passed through Ren Manyun’s gaze.

Shen Miao doesn’t know how to pick out clothes.

Mrs. Shen is always away from the house, the mother is not there, small children inevitably have many fewer advantages. The other people in this Shenfu are all harboring their own agenda, where will they sincerely teach the little girl to match? So in the long run, Shen Miao will only follow the side of Shen Qing and Shen Yue, what the two of them say, Shen Miao will pick what.

For example, that tender yellow material, lining her skin color is not false, but looks too childish some cheap. Coupled with those golden jewelry, live off a landlord’s daughter.

Gu Yu a few want to persuade her to throw away those jewelry, bias she is still stubborn not feel, rushed to disgrace.

It’s ridiculous.
