Gu Yanran ordered a full forty sets of dresses, all of which were of the best materials, and a total of 5,795 taels of silver was calculated.

The shopkeeper of the garment shop was so happy that he wiped the odds directly. "I'll charge you 5,700 taels, and come back when you're well dressed!"

"Definitely." Gu Yanran gave the silver votes to the shopkeeper. "Oh, five thousand seven hundred taels, you count."

The shopkeeper of the garment shop is a lover of personality, and when he saw Gu Yanran clearing it at one time, he made a decision on the spot. "The girl is refreshing, just rush you to be so refreshing, I will have a big bloodletting today, and I will give you the treasure of the town store!"

"The treasure of the town shop?" Gu Yanran became interested. "Shall I take a look?"

"Wait a minute!" The shopkeeper turned around and went to the inner hall, and soon came out with a delicate box.

The shopkeeper rested the box on the counter and carefully opened it.

In the wooden box, there is a set of neatly folded lake blue skirts, and the collar is embroidered with intricate flowers on the other side with gold silk threads, which looks particularly eye-catching.

Gu Yanran raised her hand to caress the flowers on the collar, and she could clearly feel every vein of the silk sleeves under her fingertips.

The shopkeeper pinched the collar and shoulders of the long skirt, and threw out the waistline and skirt that were hidden underneath, and his eyes were full of pride. "Come, enjoy first! This is my late master's last embroidery, it took three full years, until the death of the production was completed, she left her last words, said that this skirt is not for sale, only for the destined person, today, I will make the decision to give this skirt to the girl, I hope this skirt can be the icing on the cake for the girl, to help you get what you want. ”

Ling Yuan smiled from ear to ear. "The shopkeeper will really come to work, and in the future, your garment shop will also prosper and become an industry leader in this imperial city."

"Inherit the girl's auspicious words." The shopkeeper was very happy to be coaxed by Ling Yuan.

Gu Yanran didn't seem to hear the communication between the two on the side, and her eyes always lingered on the lake blue dress, as if she was fascinated.

“…… Really, it's beautiful. Gu Yanran couldn't help but mutter.

The shopkeeper's grin revealed eight large teeth. "Seeing that the girl likes it so much, Master, her old man's spirit in the sky is absolutely pleased. You see, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, or why don't you change into your clothes now? ”

"No, no." Gu Yanran shook her head. "Pack it up and put it on when the time is right."

"Okay, then I'll fold it up for you and put it back in the box." The shopkeeper folded the dress and put it in the box and locked it.

Ling Yuan took the initiative to step forward and took the box with both hands. "There is a shopkeeper of Lao."

Gu Yanran and Ling Yuan said goodbye to the shopkeeper and left the garment shop.

"Miss Yan, where are we going now?" Ling Ji asked, hugging the box.

Gu Yanran said. "The box is cumbersome, let's not go shopping today, the front is Qing Zuixuan, let's have lunch first, and after lunch, let the shopkeeper Ge arrange a carriage to send us home."

"Listen to you."

## #卿醉轩, Tianzi No. 1

He Yun, the shopkeeper, waited aside after handing over the menu. "Master, what kind of dishes do you want to eat today?"

Gu Yanran flipped through the menu and glanced at it a few times, and asked Ling Yuan. "Do you have any dishes you'd like to eat?"

"It's okay, I'm not a picky eater." Ling said.

Gu Yanran had no choice but to order a few appetizers at random. "Sweet and sour tenderloin, fish-flavored eggplant, cold salad, and tomato and egg soup."

"Okay." He Yun withdrew the menu, and then walked out of the Tianzi No. 1 room.

Gu Yanran thought that she would have to wait for a while, so she came to the window with her own cup and sat down.

"This street is as lively as ever." Gu Yanran leaned on the window frame, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, and sighed.

Ling Yuan also followed to the window. "Miss Yan likes to be lively?"

"I don't like it." Gu Yanran didn't even hesitate at all. "Where there are many people, where there are many people, where there are many people, there are many rights and wrongs, and where there are many rights and wrongs, there are many troubles, and I ...... Hate the hassle. ”

Ling Yan carefully tasted Gu Yanran's words, but she didn't answer. “……”

Just when Gu Yanran was lying by the window and closing her eyes to recuperate, the discussion downstairs came.

"Hey, hey, have you heard, the monarch is going to hold a hundred music banquets for the second prince in the palace, saying that he wants to catch the wind and wash the dust for the second prince."

"Catch the wind and wash the dust? The second prince has been back for more than two months, and only then did he pick up the wind and wash the dust? ”

"It is said that it is to catch the wind and wash the dust, but I heard that the monarch conveyed an oracle when he asked the palace people to send a post, and asked the people attending the banquet to bring the daughters of each family."

"My God, is this going to choose a concubine for the second prince?"

"Isn't it just choosing a concubine!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the second prince should be more than twenty-one years old now, and he will be twenty-two by the second half of the year."

"Twenty-two, it's really time to choose a concubine."

Gu Yanran frowned and opened her eyes, and gestured to Ling Yuan beside her. "Hey, go and ask me about it."

"Yes, girl." Ling Yuan responded.

Not long after, Ling Yuan came back.

"How's it going?" Gu Yanran asked a little anxiously.

Ling Ji will inquire about the news. "The palace does want to hold a banquet for the second prince, the time is set for ten days, and the ministers who have the right age in the family have been invited, and when the banquet is over, the second prince will be asked to choose a concubine from the daughters of each family who participated in the banquet. However, this banquet chose a side concubine, not a wife. ”

"The side concubine can't do it either!" Gu Yanran's hands clenched tightly.

Ling Wei was stunned. “…… Girl? "What's going on? The girl doesn't want the second prince to marry a side concubine?

Gu Yanran sensed her gaffe, but she didn't plan to explain it to Ling Yuan. "You didn't think you heard what you just said."

"Huh? When did you just speak? Ling Yuan said in surprise.

"Good girl." Gu Yanran was very satisfied.

Ling Yuan hesitated for a moment and said to herself. "Suddenly, I miss A-Niang, I remember that A-Niang always said to me when she was alive, 'If you like it, you can get it, and if you can't get it, it's better to destroy it', what I can't get myself, I'd rather destroy it than fall into the hands of others."

"If you like it, you can get it, and if you don't get it, it's better to destroy it......" Gu Yanran took Ling Yuan's words to heart. So, how likely is it that I will ruin this concubine selection feast?

Ling Yuan. "...... my God, I want to destroy it directly, that sentence means let you get it, if you like the second prince, you can get him!"

This meal, Gu Yanran didn't know the taste.

After lunch, Gu Yanran and Ling Yuan boarded the carriage arranged by Shopkeeper Ge and returned to Yingyue Mansion.

###映月府

Gu Yanran leaned on the chaise longue in the pavilion, looking stunned, not just thinking about something.

Ling Yuan and Gu Qiqiao stood on the periphery of the flower garden, looking up at the pavilion on the top of the rockery.

"Woo." Gu Qiqiao couldn't help but tug at Ling Yuan's sleeve. "Why is Miss Yan so preoccupied? She didn't pay attention to me when I talked to her, and she didn't even look at me when I brought her refreshments. ”

Ling Ji didn't say it directly, just said. "She's making a choice, a decision about her life."
