The night will eventually give way to the dawn.
The next day, the morning light shone through the carved window lattices and onto the bluestone path in the courtyard.
In the early autumn morning, with a slight chill, the air is filled with the faint scent of flowers and earth.
Because of the man in black, Jiang Yueyang did not sleep well last night, so even when she woke up at Si time (9~11), she still looked sleepy.
Jiang Yueyang sat in front of the bronze mirror with her eyes closed, allowing Xiangling to dress her up.
After a cup of tea, Xiangling put a plum blossom tassel hairpin on her head and said infatuatedly, "Miss, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."
Jiang Yueyang was wearing a moon-white long dress, the hem of which swayed like ripples, light and flowing.
Her eyebrows were like distant black ink, and the slightly curved arc was like a crescent moon.
Under the eyebrows are a pair of bright big eyes, as clear as autumn water, looking around with a radiant look, as if they could speak.
The corners of her eyes are slightly raised, which inexplicably makes her look cute and charming, making people fall in love with her.
Jiang Yueyang looked at her face in the bronze mirror and thought that she was very beautiful.
She is not as beautiful as the fishes that sink to the bottom of their bodies and the geese that fall, or the moon that hides in shame the flowers, but she is more than beautiful enough to be as beautiful as a painting.
Although she was pretty in her previous life, she was definitely not as stunningly beautiful as she is now.
"Xiangling, you have good taste. Keep up your high aesthetic standards and find a handsome husband in the future. I will prepare a generous dowry for you."
Xiangling is not a shy girl, but she gets shy when it comes to the issue of getting married.
She covered her face and said coquettishly, "Miss, you teased me again. It's so embarrassing."
"Don't be ashamed, I'm serious." Jiang Yueyang said seriously, "Although finding a good-looking husband can't make you eat, but if he's not good-looking, you won't be able to eat in the future."
Xiangling's eyes flickered with doubt. "Miss, my mother said that when looking for a husband, you should look for someone who is down-to-earth and hardworking. Appearance is not important."
Jiang Yueyang chuckled, "Your mother is right, but wouldn't it be better if we could have the best of both worlds?"
Xiangling nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, breakfast was delivered from the kitchen.
Jiang Yueyang ate a little, then took Xiangling and Qingzhi out in a carriage.
I went to Qingfeng Tower, Suxiangzhai and Linglong Pavilion yesterday, but I haven’t been to those places yet.
With the coachman leading the way, Jiang Yueyang and the other two quickly arrived at Linglong Pavilion, the largest silver shop in the capital.
Linglong Pavilion is different from ordinary jewelry stores. It not only sells jewelry made of gold and silver, but also jewelry made of gemstones, jade, and agate.
Moreover, the facade is very large.
The first floor is simple and clear, with a lobby and counter, and another corner used as a rest area, providing ordinary refreshments.
The second floor is a private room, which requires a certain amount of room fee. It usually receives wealthy people and children of officials, and has special people to provide one-on-one service.
The third floor is exclusively for the royal family and you cannot go up there even if you have money.
Jiang Yueyang took a look at the layout of Linglong Pavilion and asked curiously, "Xiangling, do you know who is the owner behind Linglong Pavilion?"
Xiangling shook her head, she didn't know.
Seeing this, Qingzhi took the initiative to say, "It's the imperial merchant Bai family. Currently, the eldest son of the first house is managing the silver shop."
As the former secret guard of Emperor Yuan, Qingzhi has a certain understanding of the situations of various families in the capital.
"The eldest son of the Bai family has a good business sense."
It gives you a sense of modern marketing.
"When doing business, the first thing to do is to provide good service. Only when customers feel our sincerity and care will they spend money to buy things. When buying things, what we buy is happiness and comfort. Linglong Pavilion has created a comfortable shopping environment, which is very good."
Jiang Yueyang commented as if no one was around, little knowing that her remarks were heard by others.
A woman in a gorgeous green dress walked towards them and said with a smile, "Is this your first time at Linglong Pavilion?"
Jiang Yueyang looked at the woman in front of him and nodded in confusion, "Who are you?"
The woman bowed to her and introduced herself, "I am the manager of Linglong Pavilion, my last name is Zhang. There are many people in the lobby, would you like to move to the second floor?"
There were indeed a lot of people on the first floor, including quite a few men. Jiang Yueyang accepted without much hesitation.
Manager Zhang led them to the second private room on the east side of the second floor. The layout inside was similar to that of the teahouse private room, except that there was an additional bronze mirror.
As soon as they entered, a waiter brought them tea and snacks.
Manager Zhang asked with a smile, "Miss, would you like to see some jewelry?"
"Of course, please, Manager Zhang, pick out some jewelry for me to choose from."
"Wait a moment, young lady. I will prepare it right away."
Just at this moment, four girls walked past their private room and stopped.
"Jiang Yueyang!"
Jiang Yueyang looked over when she heard the voice and saw a familiar face among the four girls. It was Lin Wan'er, the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites whom she had met yesterday.
"Miss Lin, what did you call me for?"
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I would be..."
"Wan'er!"
Before Lin Wan'er could finish her words, she was stopped by the girl in yellow beside her.
Jiang Yueyang was confused. She and Lin Wan'er didn't have any conflicts, right?
The girl in yellow smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, do you mind if we go in and sit down?"
Jiang Yueyang was unhappy because she was not familiar with them.
But since you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you, she couldn't refuse.
So, he reluctantly said, "Please come in."
Four people came in, and the girl in yellow introduced them: "I am Wan'er's sister Lin Susu, and these two are Miss Li from the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, and Miss Cao from the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites."
Because Lin Susu was already engaged, she was not among the candidates for the Crown Princess.
Jiang Yueyang nodded at them, and they were considered to be briefly introduced to each other.
[Xiaogua, why do I feel like they are here with bad intentions? ]
There was a flash of surprise in Lin Susu's eyes. She could really hear what was in her heart.
She originally thought that her sister Wan'er had gone insane, but she never thought it was true!
[Host, don't be afraid. I have their big melons here. If they bully you, just catch them by the braid.]
【What's the big news? Tell me about it. 】
"Jiang Yueyang, shut up!" Lin Wan'er shouted in a low voice.
She had seen how powerful that little brat was yesterday, and was afraid that they would say something unfavorable to her again.
Jiang Yueyang frowned. She had never been yelled at like this since she was a child!
Besides, she didn't say anything, why should she shut up?
"Miss Lin, is there something wrong with your ears? I'm not saying anything, how can you shut up?"
"Stop playing dumb, we can..."
The voice stopped abruptly, Lin Wan'er's face turned pale instantly, and a feeling of suffocation swept through her body.
"What?" Jiang Yueyang asked, suppressing his temper.
Lin Wan'er couldn't make a sound, which Jiang Yueyang thought was unwarranted and intentional trouble.
"baffling!"
Xiaogua: [Host, anger is harmful to your health. Come, follow my breathing, inhale~exhale~inhale~]
Jiang Yueyang: […Are you giving birth? I want to eat melons to calm down. ]
Xiaogua smiled shyly, [Host, let me tell you~ Lin Susu in front of you is pregnant! ]
