The woman's eyes were clear and bright. After Xu Lingqiao lowered her eyes and apologized, she said to the shopkeeper, "It's my aunt's birthday in two days. I was thinking of making her a winter skirt. Xiao Si said the other day that the shop had new goods, so I came to take a look."
The shopkeeper immediately wanted to invite the young lady in, but the young lady waved her hand.
Indicate to wait a moment.
She turned to look at Xu Lingqiao who was about to leave, and took two quick steps to catch up with her, "Excuse me, young lady, do you know the wife of the Fourth Young Master Pei of the Zhenguo Mansion?"
Ok?
Someone familiar?
Xu Lingqiao raised her head. Lianhua was beside her. She looked at the other person's dress and knew that he was not an ordinary person. After a moment's silence, she whispered, "That's my cousin."
"So they are sisters. No wonder they look so alike."
After that, she took the initiative to talk about herself, "My last name is Mu, my maiden name is Yunzhi, I don't know who is older between you and me, but Guanzhou calls me sister."
Xu Lingqiao told her name and birthday. Mu Yunzhi sighed, "I am only one year older than you. Is it rude to call you sister?"
"That's right, Sister Mu doesn't mind."
The cloth shop was bustling with people, and there were two dignified and good-looking young girls, with their maids and old women following them. It was really not a place for them to talk.
Mu Yunzhi was very hospitable. When she heard that she was Song Guanzhou's cousin, she immediately smiled.
"When I met the Fourth Young Master's wife, she was always talking about her sister, saying that she only had a brother since she was a child and had never gotten along with her sisters. But now that she has a sister, they are like twins, so when she saw the younger sister just now, she rashly asked questions."
"Sister Mu, you're welcome."
"This cloth shop belongs to me. Take a look around and see if there is anything you like. Just consider it as a token of our first acquaintance as sisters.
Xu Ling smiled softly.
"Sister, you are generous and magnanimous, and you are somewhat similar to Guan Zhou. But thank you, sister, for choosing the ancient satin and brocade today, which is enough."
Mu Yunzhi asked the shopkeeper to fetch the Xiuyunsha silk herself, "Do you like this, sister? I think it's simple and elegant, so I can make a skirt for you."
Xu Lingqiao quickly declined.
Lotus beside her knew that Xu Lingqiao never liked to accept favors from others, so she knelt down and said, "Thank you Miss Mu for your kindness. Thanks to Miss Mu, our daughter got pregnant early."
Ok?
Mu Yunzhi was puzzled, Xu Ling smiled, "Sister Mu sent two pieces of silk to Guanzhou when she left Beijing, and Guanzhou sent someone to make a skirt for me, but I didn't wear it this time."
The more they talked, the more they got along. Seeing that she had a noble character, Mu Yunzhi did not force her.
Instead, he pointed to the Rouge Building next to him and said, "Why don't I go upstairs with my sister to have some tea?"
It turned out that the Rouge Building was a women's business. In addition to rouge jewelry, there were also elegant seats on the second floor, providing a place for the women and girls who came into the store to rest and have a cup of tea.
Xu Lingqiao had already refused the Xiu Yunsha that the other party gave her, so she could no longer refuse the invitation to have tea.
After leaving the cloth shop, I talked to Linxi about the general situation.
Linxi pointed outside the door of Yanzhi Tower and said, "I'll be waiting at the door. When you come out, you'll be able to see me."
Xu Lingqiao pointed to the bustling market, "Linxi, why don't you go for a walk on your own."
After that, he wanted to give Linxi money, but Linxi waved her hand and declined, "Cousin, when I followed you out, the young lady gave me enough."
After saying that, he looked around and pointed at the teahouse diagonally opposite.
"Why don't I wait here? The girl is on the second floor. She can see me when she opens the window, so it will be cheaper to order her around."
Xu Lingqiao looked in the direction and nodded slightly.
Only then did he follow Mu Yunzhi and walk about seventy or eighty minutes to enter the Yanzhi Building.
"Is this the guard that the Fourth Young Master's wife sent to my sister?"
Xu Lingqiao was a little shy, "Guanzhou said that I was weak and only brought Lotus with me, so it would be bad if something bad happened, so he sent Brother Linxi over."
"Your sister is really considerate to you."
Xu Lingqiao lowered her eyes slightly, "We are not biological sisters, but we are better than biological sisters."
The Yanzhi Building has only a single room downstairs that serves as a storefront, with a wooden counter for greeting people, and a wooden staircase leading to the second floor.
From a distance, two girls in their twenties saw the two of them.
One of them smiled and said, "Miss, the weather is nice today. It's rare to see you. Please come in quickly."
Mu Yunzhi was familiar with the place and mentioned Caiwei Pavilion on the second floor.
"Okay, it just so happens that the seat in front is free just now. Please follow me, ladies."
After entering Caiwei Pavilion, Mu Yunzhi introduced to Xu Lingqiao, "Sister, you may not know this, but this is the proprietress of Rouge House, known as Sister Taohua. She is best at making perfumed powder and rouge. Many ladies and daughters love Sister Taohua's rouge and powder. It's also because our place is small. If she were in Jiangzhou or the capital, her reputation would surely spread far and wide."
Seeing this, Xu Lingqiao smiled subtly.
Chen Taohua saw Xu Lingqiao very early on and had already thought in her heart that this must be a girl from outside. If there was a girl like her in the local family, she would be truly famous.
"It's all because of the elder girl that I am respected."
The waitress below brought hot tea, and Chen Taohua personally poured tea for the two ladies, "If the young ladies don't mind, I will bring the newly prepared powder and rouge in a moment, please taste it."
Mu Yunzhi nodded slightly.
"Sister Taohua, please take a sample and let the two of us try it out. If you encounter any questions, it won't be too late to ask Sister Taohua for help."
As soon as these words were heard, Chen Taohua knew.
She smiled and knelt down to salute, "Please wait for a moment, ladies. I will personally bring it to you in a moment. The scenery outside the window of Caiwei Pavilion is pleasant. Although winter has arrived, it is not cold at the beginning of winter. However, the maple leaves after the autumn frost are still bright red, which is pleasing to the eyes."
Mu Yunzhi nodded, "Thank you, Sister Taohua."
Chen Taohua slowly stepped back, and the maidservant in front of Mu Yunzhi set up the window lattice. As expected, the Caiwei Pavilion was facing half of the courtyard. There were several maple trees in the courtyard, which were bright red and golden, and were indeed eye-catching.
Xu Lingqiao followed the look and also felt his mood become more relaxed and open.
Zhulan said to Mu Yunzhi, "Miss, it's just some tea, it's a bit boring, how about I go down and buy some snacks and fruits?"
Mu Yunzhi nodded slightly.
Looking at Xu Lingqiao, "I wonder if Sister Xu has any dietary restrictions?"
"Thank you, Sister Mu. I'm not that picky." At this point, she thought of Song Guanzhou for some reason. "Compared to me, Guanzhou is much more picky."
Mu Yunzhi waved her hand, motioning Zhulan to do it.
"Sister Guanzhou is generous and open-minded by nature. If she doesn't love someone, then she doesn't love them. I envy her character very much."
Mu Yunzhi felt a little disappointed when she thought about how she was just going with the flow.
Xu Ling's lips curled up, "There are few people in the world who live as freely as Guan Zhou. Fortunately, the couple loves each other and supports each other. Now it seems that it is not bad."
At least, Pei An indulged Song Guanzhou in many ways.
When Mu Yunzhi heard this, her eyes were full of envy.
"Is Guanzhou doing well these days?"
