Chu Qinghuan smiled slightly, she did not plan to hide anything, if not, with Old Mistress's shrewdness, she would not gain as much as she lost. Furthermore, it was understandable that she knew about some things, after all, she was someone who had lived with Chu Ning Bi for more than 10 years.
"My little aunt occasionally talks about the matters of the mansion, my granddaughter also knows a little about it."
It was normal for things to be pushed towards the dead, not to mention Chu Ning Bi extremely disliked the Old Mistress. She had also done such unfilial things before, so the Old Mistress's trust in her naturally wouldn't be as great as her trust.
Sure enough, when Old Mistress heard this, she couldn't help but frown, and a trace of disgust appeared on her face, "Don't take her words to heart." Towards that Concubinage, he did not have the slightest bit of good impression.
Chu Qinghuan advised as she smiled and agreed, "Yes, Qing Huan understands."
Seeing that, the Old Mistress nodded her head, then suddenly remembered something, and instructed: "There are a lot of noble people in the palace. When it's time to follow Fuer, the two of you can look out for each other."
Chu Qinghuan's heart moved, did Old Mistress entrust him to Chu Jinfu, or did she entrust Chu Jinfu to herself?
Furthermore, he was wearing clothes in order to enter the palace for the feast. It only took him one day and one night to finish making the clothes, so after dinner the next day, Concubine Liu brought people to deliver the clothes to the Pear Fragrance Garden.
Chu Jinfu was very satisfied, especially with the few wooden hibiscus flowers weaved on her clothes that were ingeniously embroidered, which made him look even more refined and elegant.
"Concubine Liu sure has good intentions." When she saw the pattern on Chu Qinghuan's clothes, Chu Jinfu could not help but ask in surprise, "Second Elder Sister, why are your clothes covered with orchids?"
Chu Jinfu was astonished, if she had to say it, she really couldn't say anything, especially these flowers. But for some reason, when she looked at the few ethereal orchids embroidered under the moon-white dress, these eerie orchid petals were an ink-black color, making it seem even more strange. Chu Jinfu felt that other than her Second Elder Sister, no one could wear any of these clothes.
The Old Mistress couldn't help but crease her eyebrows when she heard this, as if she was dissatisfied with something. She only saw the faint smile on Chu Qinghuan's face, and in the end, she still said softly, "It's been hard on you, go back and rest well. Fuer will pass this set of clothes to your Big Sis later. When you enter the palace tomorrow, you must be careful with your words, understand? "
Chu Jinfu smiled and agreed, but it was unknown if she heard it. Chu Qinghuan felt that the Old Mistress's gaze was always on him, or perhaps it was through him, watching the piece of clothes that the thrush hugged.
"I originally thought that she was a smart person, but who would have thought that at this age, she would actually start fighting again." Old Mistress muttered with a worried expression, as if she was hesitating.
The Nanny Lin at the side could not help but console her: "Perhaps it was her unintentional mistake, Second Miss's preference is indeed unfathomable, that's why she used Lady Yun's favorite, Mo Lan's. "Old Mistress, you …"
"It would be fine if he didn't mean it, but I'm afraid he did." Old Mistress let out a faint sigh, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and slowly said, "This time, I only made three sets of clothes. That good-for-nothing even knew how to complain, but she didn't utter a single word. It's likely that she secretly remembered it in her heart. "
When the news of Old Mistress giving clothes to the young misses spread, the Concubine Chen in the stone garden was elated. However, when she found out that it was only given to First Miss, the Second Miss, and the Fifth Miss, her expression became extremely ugly. If not for the servant girl beside him, she would have probably caused a ruckus long ago.
However, Concubine Liu remained silent, as if she did not care at all. Even though the three clothes were all made by her, none of them were meant for her daughter! Thinking about it, Nanny Lin felt a burst of fear, and heard her voice.
"You are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are only afraid of thieves missing. Forget it, didn't she always feel that she was quite capable? It's also a good opportunity for me to train and see who is stronger. "
Old Mistress didn't say who she was, but Nanny Lin knew that other than First Madame, there was no one else.
When Chu Qinghuan and Chu Jinfu arrived at the Embroidery Garden, Chu Changxi was coincidentally there as well.
The table was covered with jewelry, the pearl's brilliance was extremely eye-catching, Chu Changxi was currently thinking up a plan, "This string of East Ocean Pearls is crystal clear, most suitable for big sister's skin color, Bao Qin, what do you think?"
The pearl chain that was a little more than an inch was drawn on Chu Jinxiu's forehead, making her seem even more outstanding, like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world.
Chu Jinxiu shook her head lightly. Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Chu Qinghuan and Chu Jinfu coming and couldn't help but frown, "It's getting more and more unruly.
Bao Qin hurriedly apologized. Chu Qinghuan snickered in her heart, was Chu Jinxiu saying that she had no rules? Entering the house, she didn't allow the maidservants to report him.
"As expected, mother feels sorry for big sister. This is a set of clothes that the Old Mistress has ordered people to make. If big sister sees it, you can look at it." Chu Jinfu's voice was cold, her eyes did not even look at the jewelry, not even a little.
Bao Qin quickly took over the set of clothes. She felt that this set of clothes was even more exquisite and elegant than the set of clothes specially made for the young miss.
Chu Changxi was a little envious, especially that new set of clothes that she had seen with her own eyes, feeling even more stifled. But the identity of a Concubinage would decide everything!
"Old Mistress loves Big Sis the most, her cooking skills are unquestionable. Looking at how lifelike the peony is, Big Sis will definitely be able to take the lead and suppress everyone else … Second Elder Sister, you have one too? "
Chu Changxi looked at the clothes in her arms in disbelief, her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred! Originally, the rumors that she was not in the palace had already angered her, so who would be the one looking for trouble to tell Chu Changxi: Third Miss, I'll tell you this, you can't enter the palace to participate in banquets, but Second Miss can! Furthermore, Old Mistress even ordered the sewing room to make clothes for her, just like what Eldest Miss and Fifth Miss did.
Chu Qinghuan was helpless. She had originally planned to return directly. But Chu Jinfu insisted on pulling her over, and she even had to carry her clothes with her thrush as she followed behind. It was probably just to provoke Chu Changxi.
"Of course, Third Sister, don't you?" Chu Jinfu was completely flabbergasted, her face was filled with innocence, "Could it be that I was thrown in the sewing room by Concubine Liu? Why don't I go and urge you, Third Sister? "
Chu Jinfu acted as if she was going to leave, Chu Changxi immediately pulled her back, "Thank you Fifth Sister for your concern, I'm afraid that the workshop is busy, Mother already ordered someone to order a set for me."
Except, these materials were absolutely not comparable to these three. Chu Changxi gritted her teeth as she clenched her hands into fists to suppress her anger.
Chu Jinxiu did not notice the waves that were surging between the two of them, and pulled Chu Qinghuan along and said cordially: "Tomorrow, the palace will be filled with famous and noble young ladies from the capital, we will all bring our Prime Minister's face out, we definitely cannot lose our father's face, second sister, quickly come and see if there are any that fit our hearts."
Chu Jinxiu's words were said cleverly, those who were not aware of it would think that the young miss of the Palace of Generals had a heart of death, and that she shared all her beloved jewelry with her little sister, was truly a goddess.
But Chu Qinghuan was able to understand the profound meaning behind her words: So what if you have a new set of clothes bestowed to you by the Old Mistress? This temperament far surpasses that of the other young misses. I can only rely on these few pieces of jewelry to help me.
Raising her head to look at Chu Jinxiu, her beautiful face was filled with kindness and friendliness, as though she did not have any feelings for him. Even when Chu Qinghuan had her head lowered, Chu Jinxiu was still pulling on her hand, it was extremely warm.
With these thoughts and the Buddha's Heart, it wasn't wrong at all for him to lose to her back then.
"Then since little sister has taken big big sister's heart's love, big sister shouldn't feel any heartache."
Chu Jinxiu's expression did not change, but when she saw that Chu Qinghuan had taken out the green jewel with the hairpin, her voice couldn't help but tremble, "I didn't expect that Second Sister would like green gems."
Chu Qinghuan laughed, as expected, Chu Jinxiu's heart ached.
"I feel that this emerald is actually a little gold in colour. If you find it strange, you can choose from it. If elder sister likes it, Qinghuan wouldn't dare to rob it."
Before Chu Jinxiu could say anything, Chu Jinfu opened his mouth and said: "It's just an ordinary turquoise, how could it catch big sister's attention?" Her tone carried mockery, causing Chu Jinxiu to be unable to say the words that came out of his mouth. After a long while, she revealed a trace of a smile: "It's good that Second Sister likes it, there is no such thing as snatching away love."
Hearing this, Chu Qinghuan shyly smiled, but her mood was extremely happy.
Seeing Chu Jinxiu's pained expression, she was in a great mood.
Chu Jinfu grew up amongst riches, and thought that the green gemstone on the hairpin was just an ordinary turquoise, but Chu Qinghuan was clear of it. This gold coloured emerald was actually a golden green cat's eye. It was truly rare to see such a thing.
In her previous life, it was only by chance that she found out about this precious gem, but she didn't expect to see it in Chu Jinxiu's place today. Chu Changxi felt that the green was not transparent enough, and the golden color was too thin, so she did not choose either.
However, this gold and green cat's eye hairpin was not considered rare, because the color of the gems were not particularly beautiful. Chu Qinghuan had seen the world, but looked down upon the hairpin. The reason for choosing them was to piss Chu Jinxiu off.
"This hairpin is worthy of little sister's new set of clothes. Tomorrow will be an eye-opener."
Hearing this, Chu Qinghuan smiled shyly again. However, Chu Jinfu felt that those words seemed to be ridiculing Chu Qinghuan, and was instantly filled with dissatisfaction, "With Big Sis in front of me, how could Second Elder Sister dare to be so domineering?"
Chu Jinxiu did not expect her little sister to give him so much face, and immediately became serious, as though she was afraid of something. However, Chu Jinfu looked at her coldly, held Chu Qinghuan's hand and said cordially: "Second Elder Sister, send me back when it's dark?"
She had already picked out a few pieces of jewelry, but there wasn't even a word of thanks. Chu Jinxiu's expression was unsightly, but before he could get angry, Chu Qinghuan and Chu Jinfu had already left.
Chu Changxi was still happily picking out the accessories, and didn't notice Chu Jinxiu's abnormality in the slightest, "Big sister, I like Miao Yin's earrings."
He really had no foresight. The Miao Yin earrings were only an ordinary item, but the workmanship was a bit exquisite. They weren't outstanding in this pile of jewelry at all.
"It's good that you like it. These earrings and Third Sister's are really complementary to each other." They were both extremely stupid, and could not even support the mud on the wall!
Chu Changxi did not seem to hear the meaning behind her words, and saw that it was getting late, but she also took her leave.
Chu Jinxiu looked at the table that was filled with jewelry, and spoke after a while: "See everything clearly, why don't you hurry up and go?"
Someone answered softly from outside the door. Then, his body moved and quickly hid in the darkness.
