Gu Yunxiao was full of admiration for this handsome father who seemed to be above the common world. After all, Yan Zixin was holding onto the Gu family's expenses, and Master Gu didn't spend much money this time to actually get the post back.

How could it be as difficult as Gu Xuanyi said?

Master Gu also wanted them to watch the show. Could it be that the scholars who were going to become the pillars of the country had turned into playboys or monkeys for people to enjoy?

After receiving the invitation, Gu Yunyan found it rare to be interested. She had Big maidservant and Qing Ya invite the embroidery lady of the First Pin Pavilion to the Jade Court and arranged a set for herself from top to bottom.

The Gu family spent silver but never showed mercy. Yan Zixin took the bill from the First Pin Pavilion and threw a cup in anger.

On the other hand, Gu Yunyan didn't hold back at all. She had already arranged a set for herself that was almost up to the cost of the whole month.

Yan Zixin also knew that the Gu family had always been obedient to Gu Yunyan. However, if she wasn't happy with the purchase of a set of clothes and accessories, it would seem too petty.

Since Gu Yunyan had disguised herself, how could she be short on Gu Yunxiao?

Thus, Gu Yunxiao was somehow tormented by the embroidery mother for two hours, adding two sets of new clothes, which she said she wore when she went out.

She knew that Gu Yunyan had set up a trap for him. Was Yan Zixin trying to treat him fairly so that he wouldn't be unhappy as her younger sister?

Yan Zixin was overthinking things. No matter how well-dressed Gu Yunxiao was, standing beside Gu Yunyan made her look like maidservant, so she didn't really care about these things.

However, Liu Xu was happy. She carefully packed up the clothes that the embroidery lady had rushed over to make the night before and said with a smile, "Still, Young Mistress is considerate. When this servant is worried about going to the poetry meet, what should I do if the lady doesn't have a proper set of clothes."

Not only did she make two sets of new clothes, she even had a pair of pearls on her head. She was so excited that she pushed the makeup case towards Gu Yunxiao. "Miss, which one should I wear tomorrow? This pearl hairpin is not bad, and this silver hairpin …"

Liu Xu grumbled for a long time, but she didn't hear any response. When she looked up and saw miss lying on the table, seemingly asleep, she couldn't help but sigh.

Third Miss was good at everything, but she didn't really care about him.

As Gu Yunxiao listened to Liu Xu's clear and melodious voice, she gradually fell asleep. She thought to herself that if she went to Qinfang House tomorrow, it would probably be another free-for-all.

She was pulled out of bed by Liu Xu early in the morning and started to dress up. maidservant tried her best to dress up miss beautifully no matter what. Even if she couldn't compare herself to Gu Yunyan's beauty, she still wouldn't lose completely.

Gu Yunxiao was dozing off as she allowed her to fall asleep. When she woke up, she was surprised to see someone with heavy makeup inside. She couldn't help but laugh. "Who is this old hag? When she walks out, those who don't know will think I'm an older sister, not a younger sister."

Liu Xu also felt that her hands were a bit heavier, and said in embarrassment: "Miss, why don't I wash off your makeup and put it on again?"

Gu Yunxiao looked at the sky outside and shook her head. "It's too late. Let's leave it at that."

In any case, she was just a foil. Gu Yunyan probably wouldn't mind if she dressed up like this.

Sure enough, Gu Yunxiao came out of the Fragrant Lotus Yard and met Gu Yunyan at the second door.

In comparison to her makeup, Gu Yunyan didn't put on any makeup at all. Her jet-black hair was tied up in a lazy bun, and there was only a plain white jade hairpin slanted diagonally in it. She wore a plain, flowery dress, and was even more exquisite and luxurious than usual.

Clothes and accessories were nothing more than decorations on Gu Yunyan's body. They were not even the least bit dazzling when compared to her peerless appearance.

She only glanced at Gu Yunxiao, her gaze unperturbed. It was as if her little sister was no different from how she usually was.

Qing Ya was also stunned for a moment. She quickly helped Gu Yunyan into the carriage.
