"Sister Yunjiao."
Xie Yunjiao couldn't help but happily approach Zhong Huaishuang when she saw her, and enthusiastically took her hand: "Huaishuang, how come you have time to come here today?"
"I'm a little nervous and want to chat with you." Zhong Huaishuang said as he looked around.
There were people coming and going here, and she felt that everyone's eyes seemed to be looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, which made her a little nervous.
"Wait for me."
After Xie Yunjiao gave some instructions in the kitchen, she took Zhong Huaishuang to the lounge. The moment she closed the door, Zhong Huaishuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s great, she likes this comfortable feeling.
"Have some tea." Xie Yunjiao poured Zhong Huaishuang a cup of eight-treasure tea.
Zhong Huaishuang took the Eight Treasure Tea, held the cup in her hand, and felt much more comfortable.
Xie Yunjiao didn't urge her and let her look around slowly while drinking tea.
Zhong Huaishuang put down the teacup, took a deep breath, and finally said, "Sister Yunjiao, I received an invitation from the county magistrate. His daughter is hosting a banquet and wants to invite me to go appreciate the plum blossoms, but I'm a little scared."
Yang Shuang asked her to go, saying that this was a rare opportunity and asked her to go and interact with the county magistrate's daughter and other daughters of wealthy families.
Yang Shuang said that if she could marry a daughter of a wealthy family, her life would be better in the future.
Maybe it will be a good marriage.
Although the Zhong family is wealthy in Qinghe Town, their status is not high.
Because of their low social status, coming from a merchant family and without any relatives holding official positions, the children of wealthy families looked down upon them.
She had followed her father to Qinghe Town for some time, but had never made friends with anyone.
She had been staying in her ivory tower for a long time, feeling safe and comfortable. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of her ivory tower and invited her to go out and see the world.
She felt a little excited and a little nervous.
She didn't know what to do.
After receiving the invitation, she tossed and turned in bed all night and came to see Xie Yunjiao early this morning.
"Sister Yunjiao, do you think you should accept the invitation?"
Xie Yunjiao saw through Zhong Huaishuang's expectation and fear at a glance. In fact, she wanted to go.
"Go ahead, it's good to get to know more people." Xie Yunjiao said.
Xie Yunjiao's words gave her a little more anticipation, but...
"But I'm also afraid that I won't be able to get along with those people," said Zhong Huaishuang.
"How can you know the result if you haven't even tried it? It's like when you try the food I cook. You won't know what it tastes like until you put it in your mouth.
Maybe you'll fall in love with the feeling after going there once?"
Those young ladies from wealthy families usually stay at home, and since they can't go out to meet people, they naturally like to drink tea, chat and gossip with other young ladies to kill time.
Sometimes, just to get a nice-looking piece of clothing or a nice piece of jewelry, etc., will make them want to share.
But strangely enough, Zhong Huaishuang said she had been in Qinghe Town for several years.
Those people had never invited her before, but they suddenly invited her this time. She felt that this must be something serious.
But she couldn't tell Zhong Huaishuang directly, for fear that she would be upset and even more unwilling to go out for a walk.
"How about this, if you are really scared, why don't I go with you to give you courage?" Xie Yunjiao said.
Zhong Huaishuang's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xie Yunjiao in surprise: "Sister Yunjiao, are you serious?"
"Of course it's true," Xie Yunjiao looked at Zhong Huaishuang. She felt that Zhong Huaishuang dressed too simply, and her clothes were too plain, which always gave people a sense of age, dullness and boredom. "But my clothes are ugly and old, and I'm afraid of being embarrassed. How about you accompany me to buy clothes?"
"Buy?" Zhong Huaishuang had people from a cloth shop come to her house to tailor her clothes. She was too thin, so it was difficult for her to buy clothes that fit her.
Xie Yunjiao also suddenly realized that people like Zhong Huaishuang, although their status was not as high as that of officials or young ladies from aristocratic families, their family conditions were not bad either, so they did not need to buy ready-made clothes like ordinary civilians.
"When is the banquet?"
"Ten days later." Zhong Huaishuang said.
"Okay, why don't you accompany me to pick out the cloth? I'll make you and me a new set of clothes so we can go to the party happily."
"We?" Zhong Huaishuang was stunned. "I have a lot of new clothes."
"But I want to wear the same clothes as you. We'll look like sisters, which will definitely look great." Xie Yunjiao looked at Zhong Huaishuang, "Don't you like me wearing the same clothes as you? If so, then I won't do it."
"No," Zhong Huaishuang shook her head, "I'm just happy that you're willing to wear the same clothes as me."
"Then it's settled. Let's go pick out some cloth together now." Xie Yunjiao took Zhong Huaishuang's hand and went out to pick out some cloth.
Zhong Huaishuang chose a plainer fabric as before.
Xie Yunjiao picked out some lively styles for her, but she didn't like any of them.
She is a person who doesn't like change very much.
But with Xie Yunjiao's strong encouragement, she finally picked a cloth with a slightly brighter color.
After choosing the cloth, Xie Yunjiao and Zhong Huaishuang went to a jewelry store to pick out nice jewelry. However, Xie Yunjiao didn't like any of the jewelry, thinking they were too exaggerated and gorgeous, and did not suit Zhong Huaishuang's temperament.
"Boss, can these jewellery be custom made?"
"Of course it can be customized. As long as you give me the drawings, our craftsmen can create jewelry according to your drawings."
"But my blueprints can only be used by me and you can't reuse them. Can you keep your word?"
As soon as Xie Yunjiao finished speaking, someone laughed disdainfully: "You think a country bumpkin like you can come up with any good jewelry designs and even prevent the shopkeeper from using your designs? You're dreaming."
Xie Yunjiao looked over and saw a young girl who was laughing so hard that tears came out because of what she had just said.
Xie Yunjiao just felt that she seemed to have seen this girl somewhere, but she couldn't remember where exactly.
"Girl, no matter whether my design looks good or not, it's my personal thing. Is it wrong for me to protect my own things?"
Zhong Huaishuang is timid and has long been afraid to speak.
Xie Yunjiao, on the other hand, was not afraid at all. She saw that the little girl was holding a hairpin which was gorgeous and looked elegant and luxurious, but it was a bit too much for such a young girl.
It will look old-fashioned.
I thought she had a unique vision, but it turns out she was just messing around.
"Gentlemen, there's no need to offend," the jewelry shop owner said tactfully, not wanting to offend anyone. "You two are both honored guests of our store. Please have a cup of tea and take your time choosing."
