CH 7.1

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

The event of the snow banquet that day has been widely spread throughout the capital.

The Third Miss Ji’s poor vision was confirmed once again.

Those families who have female elders at home, all used Ji Yunxi’s matter as a bad example and talked to their daughter about it.

As a girl, one should have a good match when they marry. One really shouldn’t learn from the Third Miss of the Ji family, blindly choosing partners that all do not match with oneself. Moreover, even got refused when going to the other party’s house to propose a marriage.

How shameless is it? Even the face of the ancestors has been lost!

Therefore, as the saying goes, the marriage of children must be controlled by the parents and introduced by a matchmaker.

One has to listen to their parents! Their parents won’t hurt them.

The gossip all over the city could not affect Ji Yunxi’s mood at all.

This morning.

The cloth shop that the young masters and young ladies from the prominent families like to visit most, which happened to be the hottest business in the upper society in the capital, has delivered the skirt that Ji Yunxi ordered there half a month ago.

The color of the skirt is like pomegranate red, and the skirt is embroidered with black and gold patterns that resemble pomegranates. The needle work is extremely exquisite and prosperous. When walking, layer upon layer of the skirt will stack like blossoming pomegranate flowers.

It is matched with white short coat and in the two colours of red and white, it makes Ji Yunxi as gorgeous as a peony.

In the plum blossom banquet set by the Imperial Censor’s family.

The Fifth Miss of the Li family, who had a good relationship with Ji Yunxi, said with a smile: “This pomegranate skirt is still the best when you are the one who wears it.”

The Imperial Censor’s surname is Feng, and he is also in the Crown Prince’s party.

All the other young ladies of the Feng family are married and only their fourth young lady is still waiting in the boudoir.

This time, the plum blossom banquet was organized by the Fourth Miss Feng.

Fourth Miss Feng is also dressed up today. Although she is not wearing the same style of pomegranate skirt, the color of her dress is also red, which somewhat clashes with the one worn by Ji Yunxi.

Fourth Miss Feng is not bad looking, and she doesn’t think that she is worse than Ji Yunxi too, but she feels unlucky in the end. There was a bit of sarcasm on her face that was full of nobleness: “I thought that Older Sister wouldn’t come to the banquet today. After all, one will definitely feel uncomfortable when their engagement is cancelled.”

Ji Yunxi took a sip of the flower scented tea and replied calmly: “It’s nothing. I never thought that I would meet a better one instead. So, I am very satisfied.”

Fourth Miss Feng laughed lightly and said: “Older Sister, do you really think the eldest son of the Wu family is better than the second son of the Yang family?”

Ji Yunxi nodded, like it is a matter of course: “Yes.”

Fourth Miss Feng and her close girlfriends gave each other several glances, and their eyes were full of self-evident ridicules.

This Third Ji is really blind.

Because the sworn enemy is too blind, Fourth Miss Feng feels no sense of achievement.

She blew on her newly dyed nails, and said perfunctorily: “It’s good if Older Sister likes it.”

Then she left the table and went elsewhere.

Although the Feng family and the Ji family are both in the Crown Prince’s party, Fourth Miss Feng doesn’t like Ji Yunxi very much.

Just because they both look good, and their family is either rich or respectable, they have been compared since childhood.

Although the Feng family does not have the century old heritage of the Ji family, they are now thriving and their momentum is just right.

Unlike the Ji family, whose two elders died of floods and can only be sustained by the younger generation.
