Chapter Fifty-Nine: Slim
After exchanging heartfelt words with Liu Mengling, the two returned to Liu Yanxue's yard hand in hand.
Liu Yanxue was reading a book, she was leaning lazily on the chair, wearing casual clothes that were casually matched, but she was more dazzling than Liu Mengling, who had carefully prepared her dress.
Glancing at Liu Mengling and Liang Ji outside the window, her voice was cold and indifferent: "If you two want to fall in love, go back to Liu Mengling's yard and let me be quiet." ”
"Fourth sister, what do you want to eat at night?" Liu Mengling really wanted to be alone with Liang Ji, so after hearing Liu Yanxue's words, she not only didn't get angry, but also readily agreed, "I'll do it for you." ”
"Everything." Liu Yanxue glanced at Liang Ji lightly, "It's rare for the third prince to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find you, don't cook for me, show your skills and let the third prince see your skills." ”
Liu Yanxue's words were rare to hear, Liu Mengling listened, two blushes flew on her cheeks, she glanced at Liang Ji shyly and timidly, and nodded: "Fourth sister, you're right, I'll make you something delicious tomorrow, and I'll cook some good food for the third prince today." ”
For the rest of this time, the Prime Minister's Mansion maintained an eerie tranquility.
Even the prime minister and the two elder brothers, who have always been nervous, felt that something was wrong, and secretly asked Liu Mengling about the situation, and Liu Mengling said that she and Liu Yanxue were sisters no matter what they said, and there was no overnight hatred.
The two elder brothers of the Liu family, who travel for business all the year round, did not believe that Liu Mengling could become a messenger of peace, but the prime minister did.
He bought a lot of clothes and fabrics for Liu Mengling and Liu Yanxue, saying that the two of them were his beautiful daughters, and they had to make several sets of sisters' outfits to wear.
The fabric found by the prime minister is indeed very beautiful, Liu Mengling personally discussed with the tailor, and cut it to fit her figure.
Standing in front of the mirror, she turned around, looked at herself in the mirror, and felt like an immortal descending to earth, and even she was beautiful.
Just when she was complacent, the tailor's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Third Miss, since there is no problem with your clothes, then the slave will go to make clothes for Fourth Miss." ”
Hearing the words "Fourth Miss", Liu Mengling's originally excited mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
Liu Yanxue is already better looking than her, if she wears clothes that fit her figure, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake?
When the two of them go out, Liu Mengling and Liu Yanxue stand together, and Rao can see which of the two sisters is better-looking.
Thinking of this, Liu Mengling looked at the person in the mirror again, and felt that it was not so good-looking, but this suit made her extremely irritable, and she couldn't wait to tear off the fabric on her body directly and cut it with scissors.
She thought about these things in her heart, but on the surface, she only paused for a moment, then opened the door with a smile and walked to the tailor: "The fourth sister doesn't know how to make clothes at all, so it's better for my sister to help make suggestions and help check the gates." ”
With that, she pulled the tailor and walked to the door of Liu Yanxue's yard.
Liu Yanxue was reading in the study, and she didn't know where she got a shelf full of books, every time Liu Mengling came to find Liu Yanxue, she was almost always reading.
Liu Mengling was sometimes curious, so she looked up at the books on the bookshelf in front of the bookshelf, and found that they were all obscure professional books, either about medicine, or about architecture and flower breeding.
No matter how Liu Yanxue learns, she is just a woman, and it is not a good thing to know so much, it is better to learn more about female celebrities, and she can embroider a few more purses for her husband in the future.
Thinking of this, Liu Mengling erased the unwillingness in her heart, and walked into the courtyard with a slight interest, until Liu Yanxue's window: "Fourth sister, come out quickly, the tailor has come to tailor it for you." ”
"Hmm." Liu Yanxue raised her head and saw the smiling tailor behind Liu Mengling, so she put down the book in her hand and walked out of the study.
She usually dresses mostly for the sake of lightness, and she doesn't need to show a woman's posture much, so when everyone sees her, they will only notice one of her cheeks, and they won't think she has a good identity.
But now the tailor is measuring Liu Yanxue's body data with a ruler, but he keeps praising it: "The proportion of the third lady is really good, I have been in the industry until now, I don't know how many women's body shapes have been measured, and few of them are so well-proportioned and perfect." ”
"The clothes that the third lady usually wears are really violent, and they directly cover the third miss's body, what's so beautiful?" The tailor walked around Liu Yanxue, carefully measuring and recording Liu Yanxue's measurements, while chattering, "The slave maid made a set of skirts for the third lady this time, and then made a set of usual casual clothes, the slave knew that the third lady liked to wear lighter clothes, and the slave maid also made a few more sets for the young lady." ”
"Whatever you want." If anyone heard the tailor praise her figure so exaggeratedly, and offered to make her a few more sets of clothes, I am afraid that they would be overjoyed.
But even if Liu Yanxue experienced such praise, her expression still did not change, and when the tailor finished measuring her figure, she returned to the study to continue reading.
And the tailor and Liu Mengling left Liu Yanxue's yard together and went to Dou Yue'e to get the fabric.
Along the way, the tailor was lamenting Liu Yanxue's perfect figure, and by the time she arrived at Dou Yue's yard, Liu Mengling had changed from jealousy at the beginning to speechless, because the tailor was so nagging that her ears were calloused.
The tailors usually used in the Prime Minister's Mansion are all maids who can cut clothes in the house, although the craftsmanship is okay, but the aesthetics and professional tailors are not the same.
This time, the prime minister was happy, so he found a tailor who was famous in Kyoto to come to the prime minister's house.
It is said that when she was young, she was the royal tailor of the imperial palace, and even the former queen liked the styles she made.
And such a tailor with high qualifications and level actually praised Liu Yanxue's figure after measuring it......
When Dou Yue'e heard the tailor's praise, she glanced at Liu Mengling, and sure enough, she saw her gritting her teeth.
"Mrs. Wu, you said all the way, Mengling is not happy." Dou Yue'e smiled and pulled Liu Mengling to her side, and quipped, "You don't praise Mengling either?" ”
Wu Niangzi smiled, secretly said in her heart that Dou Yue'e would do things, and then praised Liu Mengling a few words at will, and then took the fabric from Dou Yue'e's hand.
After paying the price of Mrs. Wu and sending her away, Dou Yue'e lowered her face: "I didn't expect Liu Yanxue to dress loosely on weekdays and look unkempt, it turned out that she was waiting for us here." ”
"Mother, Wu Niangzi is a well-known tailor in the whole of Kyoto, if she tells Liu Yanxue about it, wouldn't Liu Yanxue be even more famous?" Liu Mengling felt a pang in her heart when she thought that countless scholars in Kyoto would write poems to praise Liu Yanxue, "Originally, the first beauty in Kyoto was me, but now no one admits it ......at all."
"Don't overthink it." Dou Yue'e gently patted the back of Liu Mengling's hand and signaled her to calm down, "Even if Liu Yanxue's figure is in good shape, what is the use of spreading throughout Kyoto?" Could it be that this advantage can be directly stated during the beauty pageant? ”
"What literati value more is talent." Dou Yue'e looked at Liu Mengling expectantly, "And you, not only the number one beauty in Kyoto, but also a well-known talented woman in Kyoto, Liu Yanxue is a genius, can you compare to the temperament you have cultivated since childhood?" She's just a pair of skin, but she's actually a straw bag inside. ”
"Mother, that's what you said." Liu Mengling thought for a long time and nodded vigorously.
"But Liu Yanxue really can't stay any longer." After comforting Liu Mengling, Dou Yue's eyes darkened, and she began to ponder again, "Since everyone says that Liu Yanxue is in good shape, it is better to let her rely on her posture to steal a good relationship." ”
After being a sisterly with Liu Yanxue for so long, and finally being able to implement the plan, Liu Mengling's eyes widened suddenly, and the whole person became excited: "Okay! ”
"You come here." Dou Yue'e beckoned to Liu Mengling.
Liu Mengling immediately obediently put her ears in front of Dou Yue.
Listening to Dou Yue's whispered words, the smile on the corner of her mouth grew bigger and bigger.
"Mother, you are so smart, I will go and act according to the plan right away!" Liu Mengling silently thought about the plan in her heart, and after making sure that there were no mistakes, she couldn't wait to rush back to the courtyard and start implementing the plan.
After returning to the courtyard, Liu Yanxue was just about to walk into the house when she saw Su San falling from a tree.
"Master." He first bowed to Liu Yanxue, and then stretched out his hand to point to the room, "The fifth prince is here." ”
"I see." Liu Yanxue nodded and walked into the study.
She looked up and saw a familiar figure crouching on the beam overhead.
“…… Fifth prince, you can't squat on a tree, why did you go to the roof? Sighing helplessly, Liu Yanxue sat down on the chair.
Seeing Liu Yanxue, Liang Wei immediately jumped down from the beam: "No way, I originally planned to wait for you in the house, but your little secret guard didn't let me stay in the house, for fear of being discovered, I could only squat on the beam." ”
As he spoke, Liang Wei didn't forget to use his palm into a fan and fan the wind his cheeks: "Your roof is really gray, you have time to let your secret guard wipe it." ”
"I just wiped the beams of the house the day before yesterday, don't you want to talk about it." Before Liang Wei finished speaking, Su San's voice sounded in the tree outside the window.
Although his voice was very low, it could still reach the ears of Liang Wei and Liu Yanxue clearly.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later." Liu Yanxue didn't want to listen to the meaningless chatter, so she looked directly at Liang Wei, "The fifth prince suddenly came to me, what's the matter?" ”
