Chapter 60: Measuring the Body
When there was still a day before the celebration ceremony, Sun Qingyi obviously felt the change.
Even an idle general like Sun Qianzhong was not at home all day, saying that in order to maintain the safety of the imperial city, he took the Praetorian Guards to patrol.
Although he didn't need to take action in person for such a trivial matter, this Qingguo ceremony was not trivial, and Emperor Chu also attached great importance to it, so he was called away.
"Miss, the second lady sent someone to call you to her yard." Cheng Xue walked into the room and said to Sun Qingyi, who was reading.
"Did you say something was going on?" Sun Qingyi asked lightly, the Zhu family came to her, and there was generally nothing good.
Cheng Xue shook her head, and the servant who came to deliver the message left after finishing speaking, for fear that she would ask a few more questions.
"Miss, don't pay attention to her, you should be able to hear it." Cheng Xue hesitated and said, in addition to hoping for her daughter's well, that bad woman wished that others would disappear quickly.
Sun Qingyi put down the book in her hand with a faint smile, stood up and moved her already sore waist, no matter what, she still had to give face on her face.
Besides, she is no longer the Sun Qingyi she used to be, even if the Zhu family embarrass her, she is not afraid, but can bully her back.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.
After tidying up her clothes slightly, Sun Qingyi walked towards the courtyard of the Zhu family, she was just a second-room concubine, after the death of Sun Qingyi's mother, she moved into the largest courtyard of the General's Mansion in order to manage the family conveniently.
Although the position was occupied, Sun Qianzhong still had a trace of conscience, and did not directly support her as the main room, although he always took her all the way when attending the banquet.
These neatly built, unique flowers and plants were placed in the corner of the wall by the Zhu family, and these were Sun Qingyi's mother's favorite potted plants during her lifetime.
After a light glance, Sun Qing stood in the courtyard according to the rules, waiting for the servant to come in and report.
"Miss, second lady, please speak inside." A maidservant girl walked out of the door and saluted Sun Qingyi, and said respectfully.
Sun Qingyi nodded and walked straight to the room, the people in the General's Mansion seemed to be very lively these days.
Could it be that this celebration ceremony has anything to do with the General's Mansion? Although she was thoughtful, Sun Qingyi still remained calm.
"Second aunt, I heard that you are looking for me." Seeing Zhu's face, Sun Qing bowed and stood in front of her and said without humility or arrogance.
Zhu stared at Sun Qingyi quite majestically, and then glanced at the maid standing aside, and someone immediately came forward to measure her height and size.
"There will be a banquet in the palace in a few days, and you can't always wear this dress, people who don't know still think that the General's Mansion has treated you badly, and you are not allowed to embarrass the General's Mansion when you go out."
Zhu said with a reluctant face, and Sun Qingyi just obediently let a few maids fiddle with her body, did she treat herself badly, didn't she count it in her heart?
Tomorrow and tomorrow will be the celebration of the country, when all the wealthy families will enter the palace to say hello to the emperor, and within one day, no matter how the embroidery girls rush to work, they will not be able to complete the task of a dress.
Pretend, looking for her is just a formality.
"Yes, but don't bother the second aunt, Qingyi was playful a few days ago, and when she was wandering on the street, she happened to see a dress in the clothing building, so she reported it to her grandmother, and bought it back with a little from her mother's dowry."
Sun Qing said without being salty, but it hurt Zhu very much, and the dowry should have been in charge of his own hands.
Clothing Building That is the best place to make clothes in Chujing, most of the wealthy nobles are here to make dresses, not only good quality, unique, its price is also expensive.
His plan was shattered, but he could only force a smile and said bluntly: "It's okay, make a few more sets just in case."
"Then Qingyi is grateful for the love of the second aunt." Waiting for the maids to carefully record every size of their bodies, Sun Qingyi always maintained a faint smile, taking Zhu's embarrassment into her eyes.
If Sun Qingwen wasn't as stupid as she is now, maybe the Zhu family wouldn't have to be so depressed.
As for the dress that has been prepared, it is indeed in the clothing building, but it is a surprise given to her by Honglian, who has been plain all day long, and people who don't know still think that she has been cleaned of six roots.
I thought that the luxurious dress was useless at all, but I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
As soon as she walked out of the Zhu family's courtyard, Sun Qingyi met Sun Qingli, and her curly posture was particularly cute, but this little daughter's posture had nothing to do with the arrogance and coldness of the third lady.
"Qingsu has seen my sister." When Sun Qingli saw Sun Qingyi, her face was proud, but she still saluted her according to the number of courtesies.
Sun Qingyi nodded lightly, then turned around and walked towards his courtyard.
Women throughout the ages have all been the same, they are all so affectionate, and they feel that they are high and unstoppable.
She just wants to live quietly, she doesn't want to provoke others, and it's better for others not to provoke her, but these people are restless.
"Does my sister know that my second sister's illness has been cured?" Even after a few steps away, Sun Qingli still said to Sun Qingyi, the sound was just enough for her to hear.
Sun Qing looked back in surprise, she didn't know this, but did it have anything to do with her? She has always only focused on her own affairs, and for Sun Qingwen's troublesome spirit, her illness is a bad thing for herself.
"What does my sister want to say?" Looking at Sun Qing's arrogant appearance, Sun Qingyi said with a light smile, is it because the road is too smooth?
Sun Qingli thought that Sun Qingyi would be helpless and panicked, no matter what her expression was, it was better than her expressionless face.
Her inscrutable nature made her a little unable to guess what Sun Qingyi was thinking.
"Sister should know that when the time comes, the three sisters will go into the palace with their father to say hello to Emperor Chu, and this time, in order to let the surrounding countries know more about Chu Jing, the visiting envoys can choose the mansion to stay in at will."
"So what?" Sun Qing asked puzzledly, what does this have to do with her? She doesn't need to be married off to a small neighboring country by the most amiable envoy, so what's there to worry about?
"Isn't my sister worried about being favored by the messenger at all?" Sun Qingli chopped her feet and asked with a red face, did she have to say it so clearly?
What she was worried about was like a joke in Sun Qingyi's eyes, and this feeling made her inexplicably unhappy.
