Chapter 56: Preparations for the Feast

Looking at the dazzling array of silk in front of her, Huo Jiuge's eyes just fell to one place, and before she could speak, she was taken first, "This material is good, just right for me!" Huo Qingwu's hand fell on the gold silk flowing cloud satin she fancied, this material is made of silk as the base, and then embroidered with gold wire, the production process is very complicated, it is a genuine product that she has seen.

The reason why Huo Qingwu chose it was not because of how good-looking it was, but because it was Huo Jiuge's favorite.

"Sister Jiuge should choose something else, I fell in love with this piece of material first." She had an expression of victory, and at this time, the Qin family also stood up to support her and said: "Qingwu's vision is really good, the color of this piece of material is very good for you." ”

Call her well? Huo Jiuge sneered secretly, although this piece of material is a treasure, but because the material is too elegant, it has a mature style everywhere, and Huo Qingwu is only a fifteen-year-old girl, if she wears this kind of material, it will inevitably make people feel that she is stealing an adult's clothes.

Huo Jiuge smiled slightly: "Then let it be to my cousin." ”

Her expression seemed to outsiders to be reluctant but she wanted to pretend to be generous, Huo Qingwu thought that she had lost to herself, but she didn't know that she had already fallen into the trap of the Qin family's mother and daughter touting her.

Huo Qingshang smiled and said, "Jiu Ge's skin is snow-white, and you have always liked to wear plain clothes, why don't you choose that snow-silver silk clothes?" ”

The tailor on the side also echoed: "The fabric of this snow silver silk is indeed very worthy of Miss Five's complexion, and I don't know how good it will look if it is made into clothes and worn by Miss Five." ”

Huo Jiuge's clothes are mostly light-colored, which is very compatible with her cold temperament, but if she wears plain clothes to participate in such a festive banquet as the Qujiang Banquet, in the eyes of others, she doesn't know and thinks that something happened to her family.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, anyone who wore plain clothes at a major banquet would be tacitly regarded as having a funeral at home.

This person's well-known customs, it is impossible for Huo Qingshang not to know, if the original owner is still here, it is estimated that she will really choose the material she recommended by being so fooled, but Huo Jiuge will not.

She said lightly: "I'm used to wearing plain clothes, and I also like to change to other colors, but my cousin Qingshang has always been wearing colorful clothes, and this time I can try a different style." ”

In the face of Huo Jiuge's proposal, the expression on Huo Qingshang's face froze, she usually likes to wear brightly colored clothes, plus she is good-looking, she can indeed attract the attention of others, and she has attended banquets many times, and the entire capital knows that the Huo family has a fairy-like daughter.

And now that Huo Jiuge said this, he was undoubtedly mocking her for dressing up the same every time, no matter how beautiful things were, if they were often seen, after a long time, even Bai Yueguang would turn into a rice particle.

The sun shone faintly on Huo Jiuge's body, she was still dressed in plain clothes, her eyes were bright, and her gestures exuded a faint coldness. Whenever she saw her, she always looked like she didn't care about anything, but she was ingenious and vicious, and she had planted a heel on her several times, thinking of this, Huo Qingshang couldn't help but clench his fists, and still had a bright smile on his face.

She lowered her eyes, stretched out her slender jade hand and gently stroked the snow silver silk, and after a while, she spoke: "Although this piece of material is plain, compared to those magnificent and cumbersome brocades, it is extraordinarily elegant and has a unique charm!" In that case, I'll ask for this piece of material. ”

Huo Jiuge finally chose violet silk as the fabric for her clothes, Huo Qingwu looked at the golden silk and cloud silk she chose, and immediately regretted it, but since she had already made a choice, if she wanted to change it, it would be a little bit of nothing to do.

There was no way, she could only accept it.

Seeing that they had already selected the fabrics for the three days, the Qin family asked the tailor to measure their clothes, and when all this was done, they each went back to their own yards.

The clothes were made quickly, which meant that the Qujiang banquet was coming soon.

The Rongguo Mansion was busy early in the morning, and everyone attached great importance to this banquet, which was a good opportunity for the Qin family to make their children famous; For Huo Qingwu, although she does not have Huo Qingshang's alluring appearance, but she is not bad, although she is a concubine, but she has grown up beside the Qin family since she was a child, and Huo Qingshang is like a sister, compared to Huo Jiuge, who grew up in Jinling, she thinks she still has a great advantage.

The Hexiang Courtyard has been quiet, and after Huo Jiuge was woken up, he sat on the dresser, waiting for Dongmei to bring hot water to wash his face.

The skirt that was formulated before had been sent to their house, and the violet silk that Huo Jiuge chose looked particularly good after being made into clothes, and the tailor also intimately embroidered a few violets on the skirt, and after being worn on the body, with the movements of people, it was simply lifelike.

It's just that in the face of such a beautiful dress, how to match it has become a problem.

Most of Huo Jiuge's jewelry was left by the Shen family before, although it was precious, but Huo Jiuge, as a girl who had not left the pavilion, took these women's things, which was somewhat old-fashioned.

Thinking of her own young lady as the young lady of the Rongguo Mansion, the jewelry around her is not as good as those young ladies, obviously everything here is left by the general and his wife to his own young lady, but now that they are occupied, Qiu Cicada is angry.

When she was still hesitating about how to match her clothes, Dongmei had already brought hot water to wash her face.

Seeing that her young lady didn't wake up, Dongmei said anxiously: "Other people's young ladies got up early in the morning, and even washed their faces with several basins, so young ladies are still stunned here?" ”

"It's her business to be in the limelight, and it doesn't matter how early she gets up." Huo Jiuge held her face with both hands and said, in order to find out how much money the Qin family embezzled from the Rongguo Mansion, she has been studying the account book sent by the housekeeper for the past few days, but no matter how she looks at it, the account book is clean.

She slept late last night for this matter, and was shouted early this morning by them to dress up.

Dongmei and Qiucian knew that their young lady was reluctant to show her face in front of people, and they didn't feel strange when they heard her say this, but they just put a little more thought into her next makeup.

With jet-black hair hanging down her thin waist, Qiu Chan specially combed her with a chic Feiyun sideburns, because there was no extra jewelry, she deliberately found a few full and round pearls to embellish her hair, so that Huo Jiuge's already soft hair could be more beautiful.

These pearls were brought by Mrs. Qin when she came, saying that they were a specialty of Jiaozhou, and she specially brought them over as a gift to her own miss, but Qiu Cicada secretly observed that there were so many young ladies and sons in this house, and it was the most shabby gift that her own lady received, only such a small box of pearls.

This is obviously to watch people put down dishes, but the loss is that her own lady is open-minded and doesn't care about these, if she were someone else, she would have been angry.
