Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Invitation
The Red Makeup Pavilion was really as Ling Qingyun expected, in addition to the "Red Jade Purple" with the elixir, other fat powders also began to sell well, and the business was even more prosperous, making peers envious and jealous. Even some people have bought most of the fat powder in the Red Makeup Pavilion with a lot of money, trying to unravel its formula, but they can't solve it.
The days were like flowing water, and half a month passed. On this day, before Ling Qingyun got up, Bi Lan walked over with something strange on her face. Ling Qingyun used to lie down for a while when she got up, so that she could wake up from the afterglow of her dreams.
Bi Lan knew this habit of her young lady, so she walked to the side of the bed and called softly: "Miss." ”
Ling Qingyun's eyes opened slightly, and then closed them again: "What's the matter?" ”
Bi Lan squatted down halfway on her feet and raised the things in her hand high, and said softly: "Miss Liu sent an invitation, please Miss to attend her, and the banquet." ”
"The Liu family? The young lady? Ling Qingyun took the invitation casually, glanced at it and closed it.
Bi Lan responded: "It's Miss Liu San, Miss Liu San is Liu Xiang's most favored daughter, this time Miss Liu San's banquet invited the men and women of Kyoto Gaomen, I heard that Miss Liu San has not allowed anyone, Miss Liu San only marries the person she likes, so this time, maybe the ceremony is not the main event, Mrs. Liu should be for Miss Liu San to find a husband." It's just that the time is today. ”
Ling Qingyun threw aside the invitation in her hand and sat up: "Bilan, change clothes." ”
While washing, Ling Qingyun thought in her mind, and the banquet is the most important coming-of-age ceremony for women, and generally only close handkerchiefs appear, but Miss Liu San is a high-profile banquet for Kyoto men and women, if it is said to avoid suspicion...... It's also okay, but why do you still feel wrong?
That's right, time! Today's gift is to send an invitation today, and such an important gift as Lu, especially the identity of Liu Xiang's concubine, which was supposed to be a few days or even half a month in advance, so as to prepare a gift for others, but now, she doesn't remember offending Miss Liu San. If this matter is not handled well, at best, it is a private matter of the daughter's family, and if it is bigger, it is the general's mansion that looks down on the prime minister's house, after all, both sides are concubines. However, this method is still weak, and it must not be the idea of the person above, but the woman's method. Thinking of this, Ling Qingyun's hand to arrange her clothes slowed down: "Bilan, you let people quietly go and see what the second and third misses are doing." ”
Bi Lan answered, called a clever attendant, and whispered a few words. waved his hand, signaled him to go and come back quickly, turned around, and said to Ling Qingyun: "This banquet of Miss Liu San, is Miss going to go?" ”
"Go, of course." Ling Qingyun sat down in front of the dresser and squinted her peach blossom eyes slightly.
"So, how is the young lady dressed today? Today, Miss must not be able to, it is too outstanding......" Bi Lan suggested with some caution.
Ling Qingyun glanced at Bi Lan, and was very grateful to her deceased mother, leaving a talent like Mama Yang behind, and using all the people in her yard with her carefully cultivated henchmen, so that she had a lot less worries. Hooking her lips, Ling Qingyun said to Bi Lan: "In this case, just the set of crystal jewelry that Shui Sei brought, and the clothes are the pale green smoke cloud butterfly dress." ”
Bi Lan took out a set of jewelry from the jewelry box, each of which was like a natural thing, with a faint luster, and there seemed to be smoke flowing in it. It is worthy of Ling Qingyun who made all the effort to find the water color, crystal, it is not very popular in Dayan, but it is very common overseas, coupled with the drawings given by Ling Qingyun, the things created are not deeply addicted to it, and even the master who played this set of jewelry was in a trance for it, and almost ruined this set of jewelry that is peerless for Dayan. Crystal, understated luxury. The exquisite workmanship reflects a little light, and it is beautiful.
That's right, following the big sale of the fat powder in the Red Makeup Pavilion, Ling Qingyun is ready to reach out to the jewelry industry in the next step, of course, everything is just going on in secret, and in the same way, this time Ling Qingyun hopes to be the same as the fat powder, and become an instant hit!
Bi Lan's hands and feet were neatly decorated for Ling Qingyun, and after a closer look, he couldn't help but breathe: the head was colorless, blue, and purple The flying phoenix with beads was not very brilliant at first glance, not as bright as gold, but its head had a unique charm between the light movements, plus a few hairpins of the same species, and the flowers, although they were patterns that had never been seen before, they were more transparent and lovely than usual. In particular, three of the flowers were carefully hollowed out by the master, and the gold edges were tired, adding to the luxury. The charming peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, the cherry lips pursed slightly, and the snow skin that could be broken by blowing was slightly flushed with fat powder, which was a noble elegance that others could not learn. A green coat, the placket is a very light color of cyan satin, the silver wire hook edge is not too cumbersome, the color of the lower skirt is darker, it is a specially treated fabric, there seems to be a faint smoke cloud on it, and then embroidered with a few vivid colorful butterflies, walking as if there are butterflies with each other, dancing on the side.
Just when Bi Lan was in a daze, the little waiter hurriedly walked in, saluted Ling Qingyun, and then cleverly said the things about a few courtyards, Bi Lan stuffed a few silver bills into the hands of the little waiter under Ling Qingyun's signal, and walked back to Ling Qingyun, who unconsciously held up a light smile.
These sisters, they are really playing a good trick, just a side concubine, do you really think that your status is noble? A concubine is a concubine, and the identity is a foregone conclusion!
After looking at the second lady and the third watch passed back by the waiter, she got up, tossed the ring in the room, and had already bathed three times, and even the water carried out was wafting with the aroma of fat powder, which was enough to imagine the strictness of her requirements for makeup at this banquet, and what Aunt Zhao opened the treasury and asked people to take the most luxurious face in the lady's dowry to the third lady Yunyun. Ling Qingyun couldn't help but clench her hands, what kind of things can be moved by those people? Ling Qingyun said coldly at the moment: "Someone will get Mrs. back, if she Ling Ziran doesn't give it, she will bring someone to surround her "Jiaoran Courtyard", and wait for Miss Ben to come back." Tell her that not everything can be moved by herself! ”
