When Xu Hanshan knocked on the door, Bai Yuzhi was taking off the hairpin on her head.
Nowadays, many girls no longer have long hair, so this hairpin is not something that all girls can use. There are very few people selling this thing during the winter solstice.
However, when Bai Yuzhi first moved into the mansion, Adjutant Chen was ordered to buy a lot of things. In the past half month, Xu Hanshan also sent people to deliver clothes and jewelry from time to time, so Bai Yuzhi was not short of things.
Bai Yuzhi, with her hair loose, hurried over to open the door.
"Master Xu, you're back."
She said this as if she were a wife waiting for her husband to come home late, which made Xu Hanshan feel happy.
"Yes, ma'am, I'm back."
Such an answer made the already ambiguous atmosphere even more ambiguous. Adjutant Chen followed behind Xu Hanshan. When Bai Yuzhi came to open the door, he had automatically stepped back a distance, but he still heard the conversation.
A pink hue appeared on her jade-like cheeks. "Adjutant Chen is here too."
Xu Hanshan's cold gaze made Adjutant Chen shudder. He smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Miss Bai, I'm here to help our general deliver something to you."
After Adjutant Chen said this, Xu Hanshan finally turned his gaze away. When he looked at the white jade, his expression was soft and gentle.
"Madam, I have prepared everything you need to wear for the ball. You can choose from some."
Adjutant Chen clapped his hands, and a lot of people came up from downstairs, carrying clothing racks and jewelry boxes.
Bai Yuzhi looked at the row of clothes and jewelry that seemed to have no end. There were old Manchu dresses like the ones she usually wore, as well as Western dresses, but the most common ones were cheongsams of various styles.
From this we can see Xu Hanshan's selfishness. He would rather see Bai Yuzhi wearing a cheongsam.
Bai Yuzhi did not refuse. They were just some clothes, and it was obvious that these clothes were tailor-made according to Bai Yuzhi's measurements. She had a great figure, with a thin and narrow waist, but the areas where there should be flesh were clearly visible. Therefore, even if Bai Yuzhi refused these clothes, no one could get this bargain.
She looked at each piece one by one, her fingers carefully running over the soft fabric.
Xu Hanshan could clearly see Bai Yuzhi's intentional expression of affection. Expressing appropriate needs would make a man feel needed, and this was the only way to maintain the current ambiguous but not overstepping relationship.
In the end, Bai Yuzhi chose a peach pink cheongsam.
I don't know if it's because of the oppressive environment of the times, but most of the colors on the market are deep or particularly bright. This extremely tender pink is very rare. Putting aside the fact that this color is very picky, Bai Yuzhi feels that perhaps her aesthetic taste does not tend towards light and tender colors.
But if you want to stand out in a party like this, where there is so much extravagance and glamour, you need rare colors.
This is a peach pink embroidered cheongsam. The style is very simple, with only a few silver buttons. However, starting from the waist, it shows that the embroiderer who made this dress has a deep foundation. A crabapple branch passes across and extends diagonally downward to the hem of the skirt. Some of the crabapples are in bud, while others are in full bloom. The delicate petals are outlined with silver threads, shining brightly.
Xu Hanshan didn't expect her to choose this. He thought Bai Yuzhi would prefer light colors like moon white and goose yellow.
"You want this?"
Bai Yuzhi nodded, revealing the charming dimple on her right cheek: "I can't embarrass Young Master Xu."
Bai Yuzhi walked into the inner room with brisk steps to change clothes. She didn't notice Xu Hanshan's dazed look.
It was the first time he saw Bai Yuzhi's lovely side, and he felt dizzy.
When Bai Yuzhi came out, Xu Hanshan was sipping tea with his head down, and Adjutant Chen was whispering something in his ear. Someone behind him dropped something inappropriately. Adjutant Chen was about to turn around and reprimand him when he saw Bai Yuzhi coming out from the inner room.
"……sky."
Adjutant Chen's rare aphasia made Xu Hanshan realize something. He looked up and saw Bai Yuzhi wearing a peach-pink cheongsam.
The girl has experienced life, but perhaps it is just a hazy state. She has both the tenderness of a woman and the innocence of a girl. Against the backdrop of peach pink, she looks like a juicy peach, making people want to get closer to her and touch her to see if she is as delicate and pink as she looks.
The waist of the cheongsam was pinched very thinly, but she didn't feel tight inside the dress at all. When she walked, her waist swayed and her calves were faintly visible in the slit.
White and pink, it makes people dizzy.
But she was still oblivious, tugging at her skirt shyly: "Why are you all staring at me? Doesn't it look good?"
Xu Hanshan was the first to come to his senses. He stood up suddenly and strode forward, covering Bai Yuzhi's entire body tightly with his own.
"Madam is a beauty."
Xu Hanshan took out a box from his chest pocket, opened it, and handed it to Bai Yuzhi.
Inside was a huge pink diamond necklace, which was obviously not an ordinary item.
"Put it on. It's the only one that's worthy of you."
This time, Xu Hanshan did not allow Bai Yuzhi to refuse. He took out the necklace directly, gently lifted Bai Yuzhi's long hair, and put the necklace firmly on her fair neck.
Xu Hanshan's eyes darkened.
"Madam, go to bed early. I'll call you tomorrow morning."
Come on, he actually left like that, and Adjutant Chen and others had no choice but to put their things down in a hurry and follow him.
Bai Yuzhi looked at Xu Hanshan's hurried back and smiled.
Is this, running away?
Bai Yuzhi looked down at the necklace hanging around her neck. This thing was priceless, but in Xu Hanshan's words, it was only worthy of her.
It's so simple that I'm already moved, Young Master Xu Hanshan.
Bai Yuzhi closed the door, slowly picked out a few pieces of jewelry that she liked from the jewelry box, and then went to sleep.
In fact, it was not for Xu Hanshan's face. Bai Yuzhi decided to outshine all the other girls at the Jinshan Dance Party in order to lure the snake out of its hole.
As long as she is dazzling enough, the jealous snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in the dark will definitely be unable to restrain themselves, such as Xu Lanyin who sneaks in, and Lin Xiaosheng who secretly plots.
Perhaps, there will be unexpected gains that will speed up the progress of her mission.
Bai Yuzhi touched her lower abdomen. The props she used on the night half a month ago were about to appear.
