Chapter 119 Plum Blossom Fairy
"The theme chosen for our Twelve Fairies this time is plum blossoms!"
Qin Huanyan's voice was as rhythmic as ever.
Everyone listened in a daze and grasped the key word - plum blossom?
"Her jade bones don't worry about the miasma, her icy figure has a fairy-like air. The sea fairy is sent out from time to time to explore the fragrant bushes. She is like a green-haired phoenix hanging upside down. Her plain face is displeased with the powder stains, but her lip red cannot be washed off after washing off her makeup. Her lofty sentiments have followed the morning clouds to the sky. She will not share the same dream with the pear blossoms." Pu Qiongzhi came down from the upstairs in a few steps and recited a poem.
Her words quickly sparked discussion among the crowd.
"She dislikes powder stains on her bare face, but her lipstick remains red even after she has washed off her makeup. It's true! Look at this girl, with a cool and elegant temperament and a beautiful face. She really deserves to be called the Plum Blossom Fairy!" The lady in the lead took a liking to Chu Yuwan at first sight and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Seeing that the girl had a calm and shy expression, and every frown and smile was extremely well-mannered and generous, all the ladies couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Qin Huanyan then took a few steps forward and greeted Chu Yuwan, "Since you have been chosen as the Plum Blossom Fairy, I have a set of clothes and jewelry here. Would you please go to the upstairs wing room to dress up?"
"Thank you." Chu Yuwan hesitated for a moment, then slowly bowed, as if it was hard to refuse such a kind offer, so she reluctantly agreed.
"You have only seen how these rouge and powder look on my face, but now you can see how they look on others!" Pu Qiongzhi smiled and paved the way for Chu Yuwan. "I also want to know whether these rouge and powder are suitable for a beauty like this who thinks even a little makeup is too heavy!"
"I heard from Manager Qin that she has a unique skill in putting makeup on people. We are all looking forward to seeing her!" Yan'er was also there to liven up the atmosphere.
After a while, there was a rustling sound and a beautiful woman appeared upstairs.
The woman actually had a flower ornament made of colored glaze between her eyebrows!
Below the colored glaze is a plum blossom pattern outlined with rouge, which looks like a plum blossom falling between the eyebrows.
Not only that, she was wearing a blue dress. Although it was not snow-white, it looked particularly bright under the sunlight, as if it was the color of snow in people's minds.
Despite wearing such pure clothes, her face was covered with a large amount of rouge, which made her look flushed, as if she was slightly drunk.
"This is a drunken makeup, which shows the girl's good looks. The girl is born beautiful, with a pair of sparkling eyes. She really looks like she is drunk before drinking, which is really embarrassing! I wonder which family this girl is from, and whether she is married?" Qin Huanyan kept saying nice things.
She always speaks her mind in front of guests, and her bold and aggressive personality is the reason why women admire her.
Chu Yuwan was about to say it, but she saw Pu Qiongzhi shaking her head at her in the crowd.
She turned her eyes away, lowered her eyebrows, and remained silent.
"Oh! Are you shy, girl? I'm sorry for being rude and offending you! I apologize!" Qin Huanyan was not embarrassed at all and apologized generously.
Pu Qiongzhi recited a poem again, "Outside the post station, beside the broken bridge, lonely flowers bloom without an owner. It's dusk, and I'm alone in my sorrow, made worse by the wind and rain. I have no intention of struggling for spring, and I let all the flowers be jealous. They fall into the mud and turn into dust, but the fragrance remains the same."
"This young lady is truly a wonderful person! Manager Qin, it's not enough to just give her a good word and apologize lightly! Today, for this young lady's sake, I'm going to make a deal. If you want to buy any of the Plum Blossom Fairy-related clothing, jewelry, rouge, and powder that this young lady used, I'll reduce the price by 20%!"
Qin Huanyan glanced at her calmly, "Okay! Since you've already spoken, how can I not comply?!"
No wonder the young master asked her to raise the price of the new product by 10% yesterday. It turned out that he wanted to bleed money today. He was ready early in the morning and was waiting here!
Pu Qiongzhi stepped forward and grabbed Chu Yuwan's hand. "Miss, you have to walk around outside more today and promote the shop! I will definitely reward you handsomely one day!"
"Of course that's a good idea..." Chu Yuwan felt her heart burning at the moment, so she naturally agreed.
However, Pu Qiongzhi squeezed her palm and said quickly as they passed by, "Go home immediately and don't go out again. Wait for good news!"
"!" Chu Yuwan had no time to react. She quickly walked out of the shop and went home obediently.
Her cousins are going crazy with jealousy!
It was clearly their shop that had taken the lead, so why did Wen Shugong and Manager Qin choose her when they were mistaken?!
She doesn't look any prettier than the others, so how come she has such good luck!
"My cousin said she would buy rouge for us, but she just turned around and ran away! How can this be possible?" Ye Pei'er, who was getting impatient, had already started muttering.
Chu Yuwan was too lazy to talk to her. "It's just a coincidence today. After all, we are all girls. My uncle taught us to stay out of the spotlight. Did my cousin forget?"
"Cousin, you are really good at making excuses! If you don't want to spend money on us, just say so!" Ye Yuelan, the eldest daughter of the Minister of War, sneered unhappily.
Ye Yurong, who was a bit scheming, looked at Chu Yuwan and said, "Cousin, do you know that Wen Shugong lady? From what I see, she seems to be very kind to you."
"I always go out with my cousins, how could I know such a person?" Chu Yuwan flatly denied.
Ye Pei'er didn't get any advantage and was furious. She rolled her eyes and said, "They both come from merchant families, so it's not surprising that they know each other!"
"Have you forgotten that your mother hates you talking about your background the most?" Ye Yuelan scolded harshly.
Ye Pei'er shrank her neck and pouted in anger.
Ye Yurong didn't get the reason, and stared at Chu Yuwan secretly, as if thinking about something.
The faint fragrance of plum blossoms filled the carriage.
It only echoes the line, "I have no intention of struggling for spring, I just let the flowers be jealous. They fall into the mud and turn into dust, but the fragrance remains the same."
…
The Earl of Gongning's Mansion.
There was a large group of people gathered at the door, making a lot of noise—
"What do you mean you can't come in without a visiting card? Go tell Earl Gong Ning that the Marquis is here to visit!"
"I held your uncle in my arms when he was little! Go quickly and tell him that an elder has arrived. Ask him to come out and see me!"
"How dare a mere earl's mansion put on airs! Do you really think this is some precious place?"
“…”
Gongsun Ying got off the carriage, dressed in gorgeous clothes, exuding a strong aura.
When they saw the eldest princess, the people who were originally crowded together immediately moved to both sides.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Everyone knelt and watched Her Royal Highness the Princess strut into the Duke of Gongning's Mansion, and they were so anxious that they jumped for breath.
"I... I have a very good relationship with the Princess. Please let me follow Her Highness the Princess in!"
"Why was Her Royal Highness the Princess allowed in? The Earl's Mansion is ranked at the bottom of the hierarchy, and yet it still looks down on others?"
"How come she is Wen Shuren's honored guest? Does she look down on us? I just have a few words to say to her! How can I bring gifts to someone's house and still be turned away?"
