Chapter 22 Sujin Streamer
The next day, as soon as the sky was dawn, Aunt Su ordered someone to invite Hong Gu, the head of Ruifu Tower, and said that she would tailor a few sets of clothes for the new Miss Ying'er, and also add two new sets of clothes for the other ladies in the mansion. If you want to say that this Ruifu Tower is not an ordinary ready-to-wear shop, it is a place that specializes in tailoring for the ladies and ladies of the wealthy families in Kyoto. The fabric and tailoring are naturally excellent. It is rare to have a clever thought. Hong Gu, the head of the family, was 27 or 28 years old, had a pair of skilled hands. Even a woman with an ordinary appearance could add three points of beauty after wearing her carefully designed and improved dress. Therefore, the business appointments in the building have been made in the building for a long time. Aunt Su was able to invite her temporarily to the lineup, which cost a lot of silver.
The air in the Zhuyi Garden in the early morning was particularly sweet. Yingluo and Qiaoer were about to leave the yard for a walk. At this time, Aunt Su and her men walked in from outside the door with a spring breeze on their faces. Seeing Yingluo ask with a smile: "Yinger, did you have a good rest last night?"
Yingluo replied: "I'm so worried about my aunt, Ying'er slept well last night."
Aunt Su's eyes were filled with joy, and she couldn't hide her smile, saying, "That's good, that's good. Ying'er, this is Honggu from Ruifulou specially invited by my aunt. She is here to tailor your clothes for you and make some new sets of clothes for you." As she said that, she glanced at Honggu behind her.
Yingluo thanked Aunt Su with a smile, raised her eyes and saw the young woman behind her, then smiled at her slightly, and said gently and brightly like spring water: "Aunt Hong."
It is said that I had met this Hong Gu several times in my previous life. This Hong Gu was not a native of Kyoto, but he settled here more than ten years ago. His parents died early and his fiancée broke up again. In anger, Hong Gu has since combed up and never married, and is devoutly obsessed with tailoring and making clothes. For more than ten years, he made the Ruifu Tower left by his father very vividly.
Hong Gu also saw the little girl in front of her and was secretly amazed in her heart. She has seen many ladies and wives in Kyoto for more than ten years, and she has seen countless people, but the girl in front of her has a very good appearance. Although her clothes are simple and elegant, her skin is as white as snow, her lips are as red as cherry blossoms, and her eyes are flowing. She does not deliberately charm all living beings. She is an unparalleled beauty. In addition to the faint coldness and slightness that flows out of her eyes, it seems that only the person who is known as the "No. 1 Beauty in Kyoto" can compare with her.
Honggu put away the secret sigh in her heart and smiled, "I'm here to cut clothes and make clothes for Miss Ying'er for the first time. I don't know what the girl likes. I have a few new satin pieces here. I can just choose it and tell me."
The few top-quality satin pieces on the table are dazzling in colors, with peach, pink, pink, tender yellow, and water green, all of which are the colors that young women like. If they follow their previous preferences, Yingluo must have liked those bright colors, just like her brilliant and beautiful life. But now, these dazzling colors can only tell her stupidity and embarrassment. Yingluo looked around and pointed to a plain moon-white satin, "Just let it go."
Hong Gu smiled with her eyebrows and eyes: "Miss Ying'er's skin is white, and she looks even more beautiful and unparalleled in this color."
Aunt Su was quite surprised and looked at Yingluo and said, "Yinger, why did you choose one? Choose a few more horses soon, don't be polite to Aunt."
Yingluo had a shy face and smiled slightly, "Yinger was grateful for her aunt's kindness, but this brocade was expensive. If you asked her aunt to spend so much money, Yinger could only feel even more uneasy."
Aunt Su shook her head and smiled, "Silly child, it's just a few pieces of brocade. Your Uncle Shen's family can still afford it. Just choose it with confidence."
Hearing this, it seemed as if Yingluo didn't choose, but she didn't give Chen's face, and she seemed too ungrateful. Then she smiled and said, "Yinger, thank Aunt Su." Then she pointed to three simple and elegant fabrics, one of which was quite rare, and was spread out in plain color brocade, but with the changes of light and shadow, the dark patterns flowed and the flowing light was full of colors, which was amazing. The Honggu next to her looked at it and said, "Miss has such a vision. This is a new product in the store, called "Liuguang Brocade". Not many people in Kyoto wear it. If the girl wears the clothes made of Liuguang Brocade, I am afraid that the fairy will be like this when she comes to the dust."
Yingluo just smiled and said, "Auntie is too rewarded. Then all of this will be done by Aunt Hong."
After measuring the jewel, Honggu followed Aunt Su out of the Zhuyi Garden and went to the yard of several other ladies for her to choose brocade.
The first yard I came to was naturally Xiafeiyuan of the second lady Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan learned that the new Ying'er was the first to choose, and she complained in her heart that her biological mother was so partial to outsiders. However, due to Hong Gu's presence, it was not easy to have anger. She just chose a few bright and beautiful colors and then ignored her on the excuse that she wanted to read the book. Aunt Su looked at her spoiled willful daughter and was quite helpless, so she had to smile awkwardly at Hong Gu.
It was Chen Lin and Chen Zhu's turn. The two of them chose a fashionable, tender yellow, light pink and other cute colors according to their usual preferences. When they arrived at Chen Yao's Yao Garden, they saw Chen Yao wearing a lilac pleated skirt, with fair skin and pointed face, cool temperament, and his eyes were full of charm. Hong Gu looked at Chen Yao's beautiful face in front of her and couldn't help but feel comparative. The appearance of these four ladies was indeed an outstanding beauty in Kyoto, but compared to the girl in Zhuyiyuan just now, this beauty seemed cliché, less noble, and less inferior.
Chen Yao looked at the satin that she had long been in love with for a long time from the remaining cloth on the table, but was replaced by disappointment and the light of her eyes faded. Chen Yao raised her beautiful eyes and asked in confusion: "Aunt Hong, I heard that recently a new satin named "Livering Brocade" has been launched on Ruifu Tower. Did you forget to bring it today?"
When Hong Gu heard this, she looked at Aunt Su and apologized to Chen Yao in embarrassment: "Miss Four, I'm really sorry. This streamer brocade is true, but it has been picked up by Miss Ying'er from Zhuyi Garden... Miss Four will look at other fabrics, these are all materials that have arrived in the store recently..." Chen Yao's expression changed slightly, and the anger in her eyes flashed, but she quickly regained her delicate smile and said, "So that's it... Sister Ying'er is a customer, so she should have chosen it first. Then I want this one." Chen Yao casually pointed to a piece of brocade with her fingers.
After watching Honggu and Aunt Su leave Yao Garden, Chen Yao's charming and soft eyes cut a sharp light. His face, which was always smiling, was now jealous and angry.
