Chapter 193: Dress Up
She is not bad in her own right, and after a little powder, her ruddy lips and slender willow eyebrows set off her fawn-like clear eyes.
Her long hair was pulled up with a silver hairpin, the hair ornament inlaid with jade beads jingled in her ears, the shopkeeper clapped her hands, and the maid next to her handed over a crimson soft gold smoke yarn loose flower dress.
"It's so pretty!" After dressing up, the shopkeeper spared no effort to praise.
She looked at Jiang Cha's eyes as if she was admiring a work of art that she was quite capable of, "The little girl just has to wear bright and lively to be radiant." ”
Jiang Cha was praised by her and was a little embarrassed.
She turned her cheeks, and the delicate green jade earrings illuminated half of her face.
"Wouldn't that be an exaggeration?" Jiang Cha hesitated to take off some of the ornaments.
"Don't pick it!" The shopkeeper stopped her and muttered, "It's an exaggeration, I think it's good, the ladies in Beijing can dress up more than one another, Chacha is so good, it's a pity that it's not good to dress up." ”
After opening the fat powder shop for so many years, it is the first time that the shopkeeper has seen such a good skin condition like ginger tea.
"Mrs. Shangshu, you can rest assured, if you dress up well, she won't underestimate you."
The shopkeeper comforted, "I have been in the capital for so long, and the ladies, especially the ladies and ladies of the official family, are the most likely to worship the high and the low, and the more you are unattainable, the more people will respect you and flock to you." ”
"That'...... So be it. Jiang Cha thought for a moment, pursed his lips and smiled.
Although he is new to the capital, there is really no need to be too cautious.
What's more, the shopkeeper's craftsmanship is good, it is rare for her to dress up so carefully, if Sheng Nanqi is here at this time.
"Let's go, it's not too early."
The shopkeeper looked at the sky outside, and called to his girl, "Niannian, go and prepare the carriage." ”
"Okay."
Stepping on the twilight of the sunset, Jiang Cha and the shopkeeper rushed towards the mansion of the Ministry of Industry and Shangshu.
Shangshu Mansion is farther away than Shilang Mansion, and the boring ginger tea is a little drowsy in waiting.
Finally, the destination has arrived.
Jiang Cha, who was helped out of the car, looked at the mansion in front of him, judging from the decoration of the mansion, it is indeed much more magnificent than the waiter's mansion, and tonight's banquet seems to be not small.
"So many people ......," Jiang Cha asked the shopkeeper in a low voice, "Didn't you mean a family banquet?" ”
"Hey, it's a family banquet, maybe Mrs. Shangshu has arranged something else later." In fact, the shopkeeper does not know everything.
But in the end, it's someone who is used to big scenes.
She led the ginger tea to the maid at the door and made her intentions clear.
After hearing their identities, the maid hurriedly said enthusiastically, "It turned out to be the shopkeeper of the incense shop and Miss Jiang, Madame has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me." ”
Seeing that there was a special guide to lead the way, ginger tea relieved his heart.
Mrs. Shangshu did have other arrangements, this maid did not take them on the main road, but deliberately avoided the noisy guest compound outside, and went around the path from the backyard to the hospitality room specially arranged for them by Mrs. Shangshu.
This room is very elegant, the sound insulation effect is also good, the moment the door is closed, the hustle and bustle outside is suddenly isolated.
"Bringing us here alone, isn't that just not going to let us sit down?" Jiang Cha raised his eyebrows and thought, "In that case, why did you choose it on the day of the banquet?" ”
It's not better to just pick a time when no one is there.
Before the shopkeeper could reply, the door of the wing room was pushed open in a blink of an eye.
The person who came was Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and her dress today was more grand and gorgeous than that day's flower viewing banquet, and at the same time, after she entered the house and saw ginger tea, her eyes were fleeting with amazement.
Mrs. Shangshu's gaze stayed on her for a moment, and her mouth said with a slight deep meaning, "Miss Jiang is really hidden. ”
The shopkeeper of ginger tea and incense shop did not dare to slack off, and respectfully asked for peace in unison.
"Grass people, see Mrs. Shangshu."
"The folk girl participates in Mrs. Shangshu."
"No need to be polite, get up, I didn't call you over to the banquet today, and I didn't let you come here to be restrained."
Being able to leave so many people outside and rush straight here, Mrs. Shangshu has her own calculations for them, "It's a family banquet, but guess who the people from outside are?" ”
"This ...... The grass people are stupid, and please ask Mrs. to make it clear. ”
The shopkeeper's shame.
This is something they can simply guess.
Mrs. Shangshu smiled leisurely, "Concubine Shuniang also sent someone today." ”
"It turned out to be someone from the palace." The shopkeeper suddenly realized, she looked at Jiang Cha again, "What does the lady mean, maybe Cha Cha is going to enter the palace with you tonight?" ”
Mrs. Shangshu shook her head, "It's not enough tonight, but Miss Jiang had better take this opportunity to stay in my mansion today, and I will send someone to teach her good rules overnight." ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to be so fast?"
The shopkeeper was a little worried.
Jiang Cha met Mrs. Shangshu's gaze, knowing that she might not be able to hide, she quickly accepted the facts, "The people obey Madame's orders." ”
When Mrs. Shangshu heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she said with satisfaction, "Good boy." ”
Because there were so many foreign guests, it was impossible for Madame to stay in the small room here for long.
After saying these words, she said, "I have something to do, and I will go out in a while, and I will call you here in advance, and I will also remind you that the banquet in the front yard will begin soon, and you will also go to the hospitality hall in a while after I go out." ”
"Yes."
As soon as Mrs. Shangshu left, the shopkeeper regretted it a little, "Why did you ...... so quickly?"
Seeing her nagging, Jiang Cha had a hard time coming forward to reassure, "It's okay, it's a good thing to hurry up." ”
She admired Mrs. Shangshu's way of dealing with the world, at least putting everything on the bright side.
"It's okay, Chacha, you're smart." The shopkeeper patted Jiang Cha on the shoulder, "I may not be able to accompany you when you enter the palace, you have to be careful and adapt to your needs." ”
"The shopkeeper can rest assured, I understand."
It's not that ginger tea doesn't look at people's colors.
After the two stayed in the room for a while, they quickly went out as Madame Shangshu had ordered.
When I came to the hall, there were really many guests here, Jiang Cha was dressed quite exquisitely, many people thought she was a young lady of which family, and even the son took the initiative to come to greet her, but she refused them one by one.
She and the shopkeeper sat in an inconspicuous position, thinking that they would be in peace.
Unexpectedly, since the reputation of the incense shop spread out that day, it has been quite popular outside, and from time to time there are familiar official wives or young ladies who come to set it up.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was overwhelmed, Jiang Cha didn't want to make trouble for her around so conspicuously, so after making a look, he secretly slipped out of the banquet and ran to the back garden to relax.
