Chapter 176: Dress Up (Add to favorites)

"Of course, I am giving this to my aunt. Our Gu family hasn't shown up in public for many years, so today's feast is indispensable. I thought that the clothes of my aunt, my sisters-in-law, and Lang'er might be a little more plain, so I prepared these."

After saying that, he picked up a royal blue stand-up collar and double-breasted jacket and handed it over.

"Look, Auntie, this is very suitable for your skin color."

It is embroidered with patterns of broken osmanthus branches, Buddha's hands, and melons and melons, which are auspicious and have good meanings at first glance.

Paired with a jewel hairpin and earrings of the same color, you can imagine how luxurious and wealthy the upper body looks.

Obviously, this was specially prepared for Old Madam Gu.

On the other tray was a tourmaline-colored double-breasted jacket embroidered with the butterfly pattern that girls often love.

Paired with a sky blue long skirt, she looks particularly charming.

To match it, there is also a tourmaline and aquamarine bead necklace, the colors are fresh and elegant, and very beautiful.

Seeing these things, Madam Gu looked up at Madam Xing.

This one glance really saw through her.

The two of them knew tacitly that this thing was obviously carefully prepared, but it definitely could not have been from Madam Xing.

It's not that Madam Xing didn't care, but this place is not Jinling City, not her territory, how could she do it so well? It's obvious that it must be Du Jingyi's work.

However, probably because she was afraid that Gu Xiaolang would be hesitant and refuse to wear it, she asked Mrs. Xing to lie and say that it was she who sent it.

And they picked this morning on purpose, wasn't it just to give them no time to think and make them do it right away?

Thinking of this, Old Madam Gu also remembered the good intentions of her granddaughter-in-law.

However, Gu Xiaolang fell silent again after looking at those things.

"Aunt, try it on and see if the two sisters-in-law look much brighter when they put them on!"

Mrs. Xing was afraid that Gu Xiaolang would find out what was going on and refuse to wear it, which would be troublesome.

So we hurried to get Madam Gu to take over.

It was a rare occasion for the two aunts to dress up, and they both looked much more energetic.

He said to Mrs. Gu with a smile.

"Mother-in-law and Lang'er should also give it a try. Cousin Yunqing made an excellent choice this time."

Since all three of them said so, they didn't waste any more words.

Nanny Qin helped Old Madam Gu, and Gu Xiaolang took her maid Shuzhen and they went to change their clothes.

After they put their clothes on again, as expected, they seemed like different people.

Madam Gu has regained her former charm and looks radiant.

Gu Xiaolang has also become much more lively than before, and at her age, she looks like a delicate flower in bloom.

It makes people fall in love with it at first sight.

"She's beautiful, beautiful, really beautiful. Our Lang'er is indeed from the Gu family of Jinling. Even the nobles in the palace don't seem as pretty as her in my opinion."

Mrs. Xing's words made Gu Xiaolang feel a little shy.

After all, she is a girl, so it is natural that she feels sweet inside when being praised like this.

But she also knew that clothes make the man, and without these things, the look would not be so good.

My thoughts about Du Jingyi are extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he envied and jealous that she received all the pampering and love from her cousin Shao Yu, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but admire her thoughtfulness in doing things.

Even if I want to hate someone, I can't seem to find a suitable excuse or reason.

"All the people who came today are from famous families in Sui'an City. I am determined to find a good wife for that boy. Liu also said that she would like to find a wife for Xue Niang. Let's take a look together when the time comes."

Mrs. Xing didn't say anything about Gu Xiaolang, but everyone could see what she meant.

She is almost seventeen now, which is the right age.

Logically speaking, a marriage should be arranged after the coming-of-age ceremony.

But on the one hand, she was worried about her cousin Shao Yu who was far away in Cezhou, and on the other hand, there was no suitable husband candidate in Jinling City.

Therefore, Madam Gu and the others did not force it.

After hearing what Mrs. Xing said today, everyone started to think about it.

"Okay, then let's help look at each other together."

After hearing this, Gu Xiaolang, who had been shy just now, felt even more depressed.

Since she couldn't marry her cousin Shao Yu, it seemed that no one was special to her anymore.

The group dressed up happily and then headed towards Xitang Courtyard.

At this moment in Xitang Courtyard, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were also dressed up.

Today they are the hosts, so the decoration must be both precious and dignified.

Therefore, Shang Ji looked particularly heroic in a crimson purple robe embroidered with gold patterns and a pure white fox fur cloak.

Du Jingyi also wore a light purple silk jacket embroidered with round flowers, a moon-white long skirt, and the same fox fur shawl, which made her look soft, charming, and elegant.

The hair bun is decorated with oriental pearls, which echo the moon-white long skirt.

The two of them stood in front of the free-standing bronze mirror and took a look.

Sure enough, they are all excellent.

"Madam, you look very beautiful today."

After hearing what her husband said, Du Jingyi also responded with a smile.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"The general is very handsome today. If you had stayed in Sui'an City all the time, I'm afraid you would have won the hearts of many women."

After being teased by Du Jingyi, Shang Ji stepped forward and shook her hand.

He said in a serious manner.

"Even if a fairy descended from heaven, she would not be as good as you, Madam."

After hearing this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but recall that when he was still at home, his father said the same thing to his mother every day.

At that time she felt it was disgusting, but now it sounds sweet.

When Madam Gu and others arrived, they happened to see the two of them being so clingy at the moment.

Everyone was smiling, except Gu Xiaolang, whose eyes darkened.

But in a situation like today, no matter how sad she was, she couldn't let others see the flaws.

So, he took a deep breath and helped Madam Gu into the house.

As soon as they came in, the couple bowed and spoke to Madam Gu and the others.

"I've met my grandmother, aunt, and uncle."

Similarly, Gu Xiaolang also returned the greeting.

"I have met my cousin and my cousin's wife."

Her calmness and generosity made Du Jingyi's eyes more peaceful, and he spoke calmly.

"Cousin Lang has recovered from her illness, and now she is dressed even better than before."

Gu Xiaolang could tell whether her praise was sincere.

After thinking about it, he said to her.

"Thank you, cousin, for taking the trouble to prepare these. Grandma likes them very much. My mother, my fourth aunt and I also like them very much."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xing raised her eyebrows.

As expected, how could there be any fools coming out of the Gu family?

Even though she didn't say a word, Gu Xiaolang still guessed it.

Du Jingyi wasn't that surprised, he just paused for a moment and then replied with a smile.

"As long as everyone likes it, it's winter now and there aren't many good materials. Let's ask Lu Ju to come over in the spring and make a few new ones for everyone. In spring, it's more beautiful to wear brightly colored clothes."

Ding~ 　　I'm here to announce a new condition for adding more chapters~ 　　I've received a lot of Xiaoxiang ticket recommendations recently, and I'd like to thank my sisters again for their support.

Because I first released it on Yunqi, there are no Xiaoxiang tickets in the background statistics.

But I think I should update more in order to live up to my sisters' kindness.

So to make it easier for me to count, I will add one more chapter for every 300 Xiaoxiang votes.

(The ones before that don’t count, I started at 900 votes) 　　900 votes plus one chapter, 1200 votes plus one chapter, 1500 votes plus one chapter…

And so on.

So it's already full of 900 words, and I'll add another chapter for you tomorrow～～～
