After the meal, Leng Cangyuan left first because he still had things to do. Before he left, he did not forget to stroke Madame Lin's hair by her ear. He looked at her gently and attentively and said," I'll go to your courtyard to pick you up after I'm done with those things in the afternoon. We'll enter the palace together."”
Madame Lin lowered her head. Her cheeks were slightly red, like a young girl. She had a different flavor. She softly replied,"Mm." Her voice was like a shy and cute young girl, obediently listening to her husband's chirping.
In previous years, she would always go to the palace to look for Leng Cangyuan, but Leng Cangyuan was always cold.
Now that she saw how much he cared for her, all the bitterness in the past was forgotten. She only remembered the gentleness in this moment.
Leng Cang could not help but look at her obsessively when he saw how shy she was. Then, he smiled in satisfaction. Madame Lin was so docile. To a male chauvinist like him, it was indeed very useful and gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Leng Yunge ignored the others and left with Ying Xue. When she left, she seemed to be chatting with Ying Xue intentionally or unintentionally." I heard that the Empress likes the pink hibiscus the most. Because hibiscus has a delicate beauty and pure noble character, the Empress admires its character very much. In other words, since the Empress admires such a character flower, she must also like simple and pure women. She likes everything related to hibiscus.”
"Is that so? Although I have never seen hibiscus, I heard that the intensity of light in hibiscus flowers is different, which causes the concentration of cyanidins in the petals to change. The flowers of hibiscus are white or light red in the morning and dark red from noon to afternoon. It was very wonderful, so people called this color change of hibiscus hibiscus "three drunk hibiscus" and "color hibiscus".”Ying Xue followed behind Leng Yun Ge and answered casually.
"Little girl, you know a lot at such a young age.”
"No, even if I know a lot, it's because you taught me well. Moreover, you're well-read and knowledgeable. I'm just influenced by you. However, since that's the case, then Miss, you must prepare well to win the Empress's favor. After you marry the Fourth Prince, your days will be better.”
Concubine Su and Leng Yunxi's eyes flickered when they heard this. They exchanged glances and returned to the East Courtyard together.
After returning to Concubine Su's room, Leng Yunxi sat on the couch and said," Mother, we must not let Leng Yunge have his way tonight."”
"Of course. Look at how proud they are today. Your father didn't even look at us from last night until this morning. Just thinking about it makes me angry.”Aunt Su gritted her teeth and said angrily.
"That's right. This morning, Father only remembered whether that slut Leng Yunge was hungry or not. He served food to the mother and daughter diligently. However, we are going to enter the palace in the afternoon. How are we going to get clothes embroidered with hibiscus flowers? It was the new year, and most of the trading companies were already closed.”Leng Yunxi pouted and said angrily.
"What are you worried about? Mother has been managing this mansion for many years.”Aunt Su squinted at Leng Yunxi and said proudly," Come, follow me."”
When Leng Yunxi heard this, his heart was filled with joy. The unhappiness he felt just now was instantly swept away. He stood up obediently and followed Concubine Su out of the room.
Concubine Su took her out of the manor and asked the servants to arrange a carriage. After about an hour, the carriage arrived at Jingdou's most famous cloth shop, the " Splendid Silk Shop."
The Splendid Silk Manor would open for business even during festivals because sometimes, some noble ladies would suddenly need some clothes for banquets. If it was a noble family, the shopkeeper would receive them. However, this was something only the noble family knew.
Although he was not short of money for such a big silk shop, it was just that sending charcoal in the snow would be more popular. This way, his business would last longer.
Naturally, these spare clothes were also very exquisite. They were all top-grade goods, so the price was naturally not cheap.
The shopkeeper of this shop was surnamed Zhang. Everyone called him Shopkeeper Zhang. This Shopkeeper Zhang had a fat head and big ears. One look and one could tell that he was used to eating big fish and meat.
Moreover, he was a well-known slick person. From high officials and nobles to the richest families in the capital, he had the ability to manage their relationships in an orderly manner. He never offended any noble. This was also the reason why his business could be so big.
When they arrived at Jinxiu Silk Manor, Concubine Su and Leng Yunxi got off the carriage and asked the servant to pass the invitation to the manservant.
After a while, the shopkeeper quickly walked out from inside and said with a smile," I didn't know that Madam was coming and didn't welcome you. I hope you don't blame me." It was the first day of the new year, and Madam came to visit. It really brought light to the humble store.”
Because all these years, Concubine Su had always been favored by the Prime Minister's Residence, and Madame Lin had always been unknown, Shopkeeper Zhang had also politely addressed her as "Madam".
"It's also my sudden visit. I'm the one who disturbed you.”Concubine Su heard Shopkeeper Zhang address her as Madam and was very pleased with herself, so she said with a smile.
"May I know what Madam has instructed me to do on this special day?”Shopkeeper Zhang had a flattering smile on his face, and his tone was full of flattery. As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of "please" to welcome Concubine Su into the shop. He then led them to the VIP reception area on the right side of the shop and asked the servant to serve them a cup of good tea.
"I want to find a pink dress embroidered with hibiscus flowers. I wonder if your shop has it?”Concubine Su took a sip of tea and asked.
"Yes, there is. However, this set of clothes was ordered by someone else a long time ago. He said that he would pick it up at noon.”Shopkeeper Zhang said with a troubled expression when he heard this.
"Which family's girl is more noble than my Yunxi?”When Concubine Su heard this, she was very unhappy. Who didn't know that Leng Cang was far below one person and above ten thousand people in the court? In Jingdou, who dared to offend him?
However, after hearing what Leng Yunge said just now, it was probably Leng Yunge who ordered this set of clothes. In that case, she would not do as she wished and snatch this set of clothes.
" This…But, I've already received the deposit. It's really…"
"How much deposit did you take from her? I'll give you five times the amount and take out five times the amount as compensation.”
"This, this is not a problem of money." Shopkeeper Zhang still looked troubled.
"Then why?" Leng Yunxi said unhappily.
" Our store has always valued integrity..." Shopkeeper Zhang wiped his forehead and answered nervously.
"Then aren't you afraid that I'll go back and tell the Prime Minister to raid your shop?”
"This, alright, then I'll give it to you.”
"That's more like it. Hurry up and bring the clothes over.”Leng Yunxi looked at his frightened expression and felt proud. She had always been pampered by everyone and did not dare to offend them.
Shopkeeper Zhang had no choice but to enter the inner room shakily and take out a set of packaged clothes.
Concubine Su took the clothes and looked at them carefully. She saw that the top layer of the clothes was embroidered exquisitely. It was really a rare piece of good clothes.
"Mother, this dress is really beautiful. These embroidery skills are definitely top-notch. I've never seen such good ones.”Leng Yunxi looked at the dress and was very satisfied. She was already fantasizing about stunning the Empress and Mo Qianyu at night.
"Yeah, just wait to be the main character tonight.”Concubine Su was also very satisfied. The workmanship of this dress was something that even she had never seen before. It was even comparable to the craftsmanship in the palace.
"Second Young Lady is born beautiful. If you wear this dress, you will definitely be a devastatingly beautiful woman. At the banquet, you will definitely be able to suppress the group of beautiful women and make all the men present fall for you.”Shopkeeper Zhang was also at the side, smiling obsequiously as he boasted.
"At least you have good taste." When Leng Yunxi heard this, she was instantly overjoyed. She couldn't bear to part with this dress.
"Alright, there are still many things to prepare. Let's go back first.”Concubine Su said with a smile.
"Then Madam, take care. I wish Madam all the best in the new year and that your beauty will last forever.”Shopkeeper Zhang said.
"You're so sweet." Concubine Su said. Then, she got into the carriage with Leng Yunxi and left.
Shopkeeper Zhang saw that Concubine Su and Leng Yunxi had left, so he closed the door and returned to the second floor.
"You've done what I instructed you to do.”A man's voice sounded.
"Ninth Prince, everything is done." Shopkeeper Zhang bowed slightly and answered respectfully.
"Very good. This is your reward.”Mo Qianchen pushed the wooden plate with a silver ingot on the table and said.
"It's just a small matter. This lowly one wouldn't dare to take such a large reward from a prince.”Shopkeeper Zhang's eyes lit up when he saw the silver ingots on the table. However, the person in front of him was a prince of the current dynasty, so he did not dare to accept them.
"What's wrong? Do you think it's too little, or do you look down on me, a prince?”Mo Qianchen said unhappily.
"This, this lowly one doesn't dare, this lowly one will accept it.”Since the other party had already said so, he did not dare to reject it.
Mo Qianchen didn't say much to him and left the satin store. She didn't know what Leng Yun Ge was planning. He had just discussed a collaboration with her yesterday, and now he had something to trouble him with. She asked him to prepare a set of clothes embroidered with hibiscus flowers for her and put it here, saying that someone would definitely come and spend a lot of money to buy it.
He did have clothes embroidered with hibiscus flowers, and there were many of them. Because his mother had always favored hibiscus flowers, many clothes were embroidered with hibiscus flowers.
After his mother left, he kept all her things. Whenever he missed her, he would go and look at her things.
This was the worst one, but it was a compliment for Leng Yunxi to wear it. However, he was very puzzled. How did this Leng Yun Ge know that he could help her with this?
However, no matter what, he was still very proud that she could ask him for help. This meant that she still remembered him.
There was a moment when he thought of this. However, in the next second, he shook his head and told himself that he could not think of it this way. She was the woman that his 14th brother loved. He must not have any improper thoughts.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 25PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
