Chapter 31: Sadness
Yun Wan was not surprised that Emperor Jingxuan could have someone deliver something into Cuiwei Garden quietly. After all, the other party was the most powerful person in the world.
She wondered why such a box of precious spices was suddenly sent to her?
Yun Wan guessed that this was to allow her to prepare the fragrance as quickly as possible, especially when she found a small "Luo" character engraved on the inside of the box, she became more certain.
These spices are most likely the ones that the Hu merchant Luo Yongcheng brought back from the Western Regions during his trip.
She hadn't expected that these spices had been preserved so well in the fire a few days ago, and that they had finally landed in her hands after being passed around for several times.
Yun Wan felt complicated when thinking about the death of the Hu merchant and the identity of the enemy spy hidden in the capital.
I guess His Majesty believed what she said that day about the purpose of going to Anyifang, and these spices were also a disguised way of urging her to create that fragrance as soon as possible, right?
Yun Wan suddenly felt pressured and worried.
It rained for three days in a row in the capital, and everything was wet. If you went out, your shoes and socks would get wet, so Yun Wan simply stayed in the house.
Pushing open the window lattice, a breeze mixed with the scent of earth blew in my face, bringing a bit of clarity. Looking up, I saw a string of raindrops falling from the blue-gray eaves, like a bead curtain.
This kind of weather and scenery is perfect for being alone.
Yun Wan took off her shoes and socks, and lay on the beauty couch with her legs crossed. Her small and delicate feet were hidden under the thin blanket. She was holding a magazine in her hand and reading it with great interest. Her long black hair was casually tied up with a hairpin, and her posture was lazy and leisurely.
Because she was in her own room, Yun Wan was only wearing a lotus-colored underdress with a thin belt around her waist. The silk fabric had a faint pearly luster, wrapping up her delicate skin underneath.
As she posed, the cross neckline drooped slightly, revealing the snow-white color that was faintly visible, emitting a pearly luster that was dazzlingly beautiful.
When Lu Changning came in and saw this scene, he was stunned and forgot to look away.
Third Aunt, she was truly the most beautiful woman she had ever seen...
The light in front of her eyes was suddenly blocked. Yun Wan looked up and saw that she was in a daze, so she put down the book in her hand and called out, "Changning?"
Lu Changning came back to his senses and realized that he had been staring at his third aunt in a daze. His face suddenly turned red with anger.
She touched her burning earlobe and leaned forward to ask, "Aunt San, what are you looking at?"
Yun Wan glanced at the book cover and said, "I bought this book a couple of days ago to kill time."
Lu Changning just asked casually and was not interested in the dialogue book.
Seeing this, Yun Wan stood up and asked, "What do you want to see me for?"
Lu Changning hummed and was about to speak, but her eyes flashed and she blinked shyly and said, "Third Aunt, your clothes..."
I looked down along her line of sight and saw that the collar of her clothes was hanging down. She turned around embarrassedly and quickly straightened it out.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Lu Changning shook his head and didn't think there was anything wrong.
In her boudoir, especially in the hot summer, she liked to take off her shoes and socks, roll up her sleeves, sleep on the bamboo mat, and feel the breeze outside. It was so comfortable.
only......
Looking down at his flat chest and skin color, Lu Changning sighed slightly and decided to drink milk every day after returning home.
After re-tying her belt, Yun Wan got off the bed and picked up a green outer garment from the mahogany rack and put it on. She then returned to the table and poured a cup of scented tea for Lu Changning.
Lu Changning said seriously, "Third Aunt, Changning is here to express my gratitude today."
"What you said to me last time was a revelation to me. After I returned home, I thought about it for a long time. Two days ago, I found an opportunity to have a frank talk with my father."
She couldn't help but smile widely.
Yun Wan smiled and said gently, "You're so happy, I guess the result will be good."
"Yes!" Lu Changning nodded heavily, her pretty face filled with joy. "You're right! After all, I'm my father's only daughter, and he still cares about me. After listening to my thoughts, he called Aunt Zhong over and gave her a good scolding."
Thinking of the scene that day, she felt relieved, and the depression that had been pent up for a long time finally dissipated.
She said in a light tone, "Father promised to discuss my marriage after I reach the age of marriage. He will then ask for my opinion. Even grandmother cannot make the decision arbitrarily."
With her father's promise, Lu Changning finally put an end to a worry and exuded the aura of a young girl.
Yun Wan was happy for her, "That's really good, congratulations Changning."
"After all, I still have to thank Third Aunt. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would also be stuck in a dead end."
Lu Changning looked at Yun Wan gratefully and said sincerely.
"Oh, by the way, my father specially gifted me with some fabrics that are perfect for making spring and summer clothes. Changning wants you to pick out a few pieces as a thank you gift."
Yun Wan shook her head: "No need for a thank you gift, that was given to you by the Duke."
Lu Changning: "It's okay, it's okay. Since it's given to me, it's naturally my responsibility to deal with it. I just want to give it to Third Aunt, so don't refuse it!"
Then she shouted outside, "Quick, bring the things in!"
The servants waiting outside the house came in one after another with cloth samples and stood in position one by one.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Yun Wan pointed to two of them and said, "Let's take these two."
Lu Changning frowned. "That's a bit too plain. I think these horses are perfect for Third Aunt. They're gorgeous but not overbearing. The patterns are beautiful, and the colors complement your skin tone perfectly."
Yun Wan glanced at the pieces of fabric she had chosen and slowly shook her head: "It's too bright, it doesn't suit me."
Rouge red, lilac purple, Xiangfei color, how could she wear them now?
If she wore it, the old lady would call her to Ci Xin Hall to scold her that day.
Lu Changning disagreed and picked up the pieces of fabric to try on Yun Wan. "What's wrong with it? Third Aunt is so beautiful, she deserves to dress beautifully. Who cares what those people say?"
"At worst, you can make new clothes and wear them in your own yard. That will make you feel very happy!"
As soon as the material was draped over Yun Wan, Lu Changning's eyes lit up with astonishment. He gasped and said, "See, I told you these patterns suit you perfectly, right? Just a piece of cloth looks so beautiful on you. If it were made into a dress, wouldn't Third Aunt be a fairy when she wore it?"
She turned to the others in the room and asked, "Don't you agree?"
Yueya nodded hurriedly, agreeing: "Miss is right, this material is very suitable for you, Madam."
Yue'e: "Miss, what you said makes sense. Your clothes are all simple and elegant. Why not make some with different patterns this year? If you don't wear them, just put them in the closet."
Yun Wan was moved by their words and said helplessly, "You keep talking back and forth. If I don't accept it, won't my ears be irritated by your nagging?"
She agreed, and Lu Changning quickly ordered someone to send the cloth in the warehouse to Cuiwei Garden.
Each piece of cloth was of excellent quality, but she obviously couldn't wear them. I wonder why her father would have thought of giving them to her?
But it is especially suitable for Third Aunt!
