When she entered, Shangguan Yanran was playing shuttlecock with the servants.
In ancient times, shuttlecocks were made of chicken feathers and were also called foot-throwing toys.
Just as the servant was about to report to Shangguan Yanran, Rong Qingqing stopped him.
Shangguan Yanran was engrossed in kicking the ball and had no idea that Rong Qingqing was there.
Rong Qingqing was not in a hurry and stood aside with the embroiderer to watch.
Just then, the servant miskicked the shuttlecock, and it flew straight towards Rong Qingqing.
"Young Miss, be careful!" the embroiderer exclaimed.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing calmly lifted her skirt, hooked her toe, caught the shuttlecock, and kicked it.
The servants nearby saw this and all cheered.
Upon hearing the sound, Shangguan Yanran turned around.
When she saw Rong Qingqing playing shuttlecock behind her, she was surprised and delighted. "Oh, Qingqing, what brings you here? I didn't expect you to know how to play this, and you're so good at it!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing gently tossed the shuttlecock over and said with a smile, "I haven't played for a long time, so I'm a bit rusty. I hope you'll forgive my clumsiness."
"No way, I think you play better than me." Shangguan Yanran smiled as she took the shuttlecock and handed it to a servant.
Rong Qingqing said somewhat embarrassedly, "I am sorry for coming uninvited today."
"How could that be? I was hoping you could come." Shangguan Yanran stepped forward, affectionately took her hand, and said sincerely, "Although it was a bit of a surprise, I'm really happy. You have no idea how boring it is to stay in the manor all day."
"Actually, the reason I've taken the liberty of coming to bother you today is to bring you some clothes. I wanted to see if they fit you," Rong Qingqing explained with a smile.
"It's truly my honor to have you, the boss, personally deliver these clothes to my door," Shangguan Yanran said with a smile.
“You’re one of our shop’s biggest customers, how could I possibly neglect you?” Rong Qingqing joked.
"Who do you think I am, a big customer? You're giving me too much credit. Come, come to my room and sit down. Zhu'er, quickly bring some tea."
Rong Qingqing followed her into her room with a smile.
After drinking two cups of tea, Rong Qingqing took the dress from the embroiderer and asked Shangguan Yanran to try it on.
"Try it on first. If it doesn't fit, we can alter it."
Shangguan Yanran took it, unfolded it, and was immediately amazed. She stroked the fabric of the dress with her fingers and exclaimed with delight, "This is so beautiful! It's even more beautiful than I imagined!"
“If time hadn’t been so tight, we could have done even better,” Rong Qingqing said with a smile. “But as long as you don’t mind.”
"It's already very beautiful," Shangguan Yanran exclaimed.
“Miss Shangguan, the fabric of this dress was made by our young lady using her private collection. Therefore, the finished product is more beautiful and outstanding than that made from other fabrics. This fabric is extremely fine and soft, and when worn, it is both dignified and elegant, making it perfect for banquets,” the embroiderer said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yanran put down her dress, took Rong Qingqing's hand, and said gratefully, "You are so thoughtful."
"We are honored that Miss Shangguan thinks so highly of our shop, so we will naturally do our best to please you," Rong Qingqing said with a smile.
Shangguan Yanran raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Are you serious about that?"
Rong Qingqing smiled without saying a word, and urged, "You'd better go try it on quickly, I can't wait to see it."
"Alright, then you can sit down for a while," Shangguan Yanran said, picking up her dress.
"Mm." Rong Qingqing nodded, watched her enter the inner room, and then sat down on the couch.
