Chapter 264: Peach Blossoms Blow Off White Clothes
The peach blossoms are light and deep, like evenly spaced makeup.
The spring breeze breaks my heart and blows off my white clothes.
The wind blew through the courtyard, lifting up the hem of You Jia's white skirt and the gold hairpin with a peach blossom-shaped pendant hidden among her black hair.
I like.
You Jia generously admitted her feelings, but Xu Qingwan remained silent for a long time.
She was not jealous of the former, but remembered that she had asked Wei Changtian the same question before.
"Changtian, do you like Miss You?"
"I'm not interested in her. You'll understand later."
“.”
Although Xu Qingwan didn't know You Jia's true identity, she knew that neither You Jia nor Wei Changtian had lied to her.
For a moment, she actually felt a little sorry for Youjia.
"Sister Xu, what's wrong with you?"
On the other side, You Jia noticed her strangeness and asked with a smile: "Are you jealous of me?"
"No."
Xu Qingwan took a deep breath and shook her head: "I just don't know what to say."
"If you're not jealous, how could you be like this?"
You Jia moved closer and tried to adjust the atmosphere: "Okay, okay, I won't say such things in the future, okay?"
"Sister Xu, please forgive me this time!"
"you"
Xu Qingwan bit her lip and was about to speak, but at this moment, a little maid suddenly ran over from not far away.
"Miss, the shopkeeper of Jijintang is here and said that your wedding gown has been made and he wants you to personally take a look at it."
Ji Jin Tang is the largest and most expensive cloth shop in Shuzhou City, and it also does "custom clothing" business.
Now that the shopkeeper has come in person, he undoubtedly wants to please Wei Changtian, the future concubine of the "King of Shuzhou".
"Oh, please ask him to come in."
Since it concerns her wedding gown, Xu Qingwan is of course very concerned. After giving an instruction, she looked at You Jia again.
After a moment's hesitation, she did not continue the previous topic, but just asked softly: "Miss You, can you give me some advice?"
"OK."
You Jia smiled and nodded, and returned to the house with Xu Qingwan. Soon, they saw a man with a big belly and a very gorgeous wedding dress.
A wide-sleeved shirt made of embroidered silk with a python pattern, and embroidered mandarin ducks and pomegranates on the edges.
The chest is fastened with a red gold collar buckle inlaid with rubies, and covered with a shawl embroidered with double peacocks and gold tassels.
The purple satin was embroidered with double flower and bird patterns, and the twelve-piece Liuxian skirt was inlaid with gold and silver. The tail of the skirt was about three feet long and the edge was rolled with inch-long gold thread. Although the whole wedding dress was indeed not as bright red as the "first wife" could wear, it was more luxurious.
"Miss Xu, do you like this dress?"
The shopkeeper of Jijintang stood aside with great respect, smiling and asking, "If there is anything you think is wrong, I will go back and correct it immediately. No! I will make another one right away!"
“.”
Hearing this question, Xu Qingwan and You Jia looked at each other and shook their heads.
Although the two girls had never had to worry about food and clothing since they were young, they had never seen such luxurious clothes, let alone be able to make any suggestions.
"Shopkeeper Liu, the clothes are already very good, thank you for your help."
Xu Qingwan was polite at first, then after hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "But I have something I want to ask the shopkeeper."
The man immediately became extremely nervous: "Girl, you can ask!"
"Okay, I actually want to ask how much silver this suit costs?"
"Uh-huh?"
The shopkeeper thought he had misheard at first, but when he saw Xu Qingwan's serious expression, he hurriedly rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly: "Miss Xu, what are you talking about!"
"It is my great honor to be able to make your wedding gown! How dare I ask for money!"
"Hmm?"
A hint of joy appeared on Xu Qingwan's face.
"Manager Liu, are you serious?"
"really!!"
The man patted his chest and assured, "I'm not lying!"
"That's good"
Xu Qingwan was finally relieved now, and when she looked at the wedding gown again, she liked it even more than before.
However, You Jia next to him was a little amused and helpless at this moment.
She knew that Xu Qingwan loved money.
But according to the rules, the money for the wedding gown should be paid by the man, that is, Wei Changtian.
But the latter is not short of money, so why is Xu Qingwan so happy? "Sister Xu, this wedding gown doesn't cost you any money."
Unable to resist her inner curiosity, Youjia asked in a low voice: "Why are you so happy?"
“.”
Xu Qingwan's face flushed, and after hesitating for a while, she pinched the corner of her clothes and answered in a low voice, very embarrassed:
"Before, my silver was my silver, and Changtian's silver was Changtian's silver."
"But now I am about to get married."
"If he spent more money than me, I would feel bad too."
“.”
Youjia: “???”
Shopkeeper: “???”
Both of them had a stunned expression and looked at Xu Qingwan for a long time without saying a word.
The afternoon sun came in through the window, shining on the wedding gowns held up by several servants at Ji Jin Tang, making them look even more luxurious in their dazzling brilliance.
The peach blossoms in the courtyard are hanging on the branches, complementing this beauty.
At this moment, somewhere far away in the deep forest of Jiuding Mountain, there is also a small peach blossom forest.
However, hidden in the forest, there is a completely different scene.
“Tick-tock, tick-tock”
The bright red blood twisted and turned, forming a strange pattern on a piece of bluestone.
The pattern seems to contain floods, strong winds, and thunder. Various elements are connected together with an obscure and mysterious pattern, and the overall look is quite creepy.
This pattern is not unique. If you count them around, there are actually ninety of them.
"My husband, you must be hungry, right?"
Kneeling beside a rotten corpse, the pale-faced woman tore off a piece of meat from the deer carcass beside her and immediately put it into the mouth of the rotten corpse, whose bones were already exposed.
“Snap!”
The venison fell to the ground from the big hole in the corpse's chest, emitting a disgusting stench.
"Husband, why don't you eat?"
The woman looked at the corpse in confusion. After a while, she suddenly clapped her hands and laughed shrilly:
"Yes! My husband likes to eat fish!"
"But, but where do the fish come from here?"
"Huh? That's me!"
"Hehe, my husband, I am the fish."
A trace of internal force passed through the fingertips and gently stroked the arm covered with mud.
Blood suddenly gushed out from the wound, but the woman ignored it and just put the still throbbing piece of tender meat into the corpse's mouth again.
“Snap!”
“Snap!”
“Pah.”
“.”
After feeding it four times in a row, the "fish meat" finally did not fall out through the big hole, but hung on the corner of the skeleton's mouth.
"Husband, please eat slowly."
The woman stood up shakily with satisfaction, pinched a finger of blood that kept flowing from her arm, ran to the bluestone and continued to draw the unfinished strange pattern.
“Boom!”
Overhead, the dark clouds gathering near Jiuding Mountain were getting more and more numerous, almost to the point of blocking out the sun.
A few peach trees had a few shriveled peach blossoms blooming crookedly, which looked equally strange in the strange formation painted in blood around them.
The peach blossoms are light and deep, like evenly spaced makeup.
The spring breeze breaks my heart and blows off my white clothes.
