Chapter 138 Riding Costume

 Gu Baiyi also looked at her, picked up the small bowl in front of her and gave her some chopsticks to eat. He smiled at her and said, "Try to see how it tastes and whether it suits your taste."

Shen Jintang smiled and thanked him.

Gu Jingnian and Cui He had also seen how considerate Gu Baiyi was to her at the Peach Blossom Forest in Puji Temple last time, so they were just slightly surprised and then got used to it.

As for Chi Qinghuai and Pei Yan, it’s even more surprising.

The servants who served Gu Baiyi and these young masters also looked at their noses and noses with their heads down and their toes, not daring to raise their heads.

At this time, the young eunuch also brought up the jar of peach blossom wine that Gu Baiyi had collected.

He specially brought this from the capital.

The little eunuch opened the jar of peach blossom wine, and the mellow aroma of peach blossom wine spread out.

He poured the jar of peach blossom wine into the jug again.

Then the mouth of the altar was sealed.

Gu Baiyi didn't need him to pour the wine. He directly took the jug and poured a glass into Shen Jintang's wine glass. He smiled at her and said, "Sister Shen, although this peach blossom wine is not as delicious as the mulberry wine you brew, it is as good as the mulberry wine you brew." Compared with other wines, it can be regarded as a treasure among wines."

After saying that, he put down the wine bottle and ordered the servants: "Pour some wine for them too."

The servant immediately responded respectfully, picked up the wine bottle, and poured a glass for Gu Baiyi first, and then poured it for Gu Jingnian and others one by one.

Shen Jintang picked up the wine glass, touched it with Gu Baiyi and others, and then took a sip.

Peach blossom wine is not as sweet and sour as mulberry wine and is more suitable for women, but as Gu Baiyi said, compared with other wines, it is already a treasure among wines.

The mouth is fragrant and the aftertaste is long.

"Good wine." Shen Jintang praised, then took a chopstick of braised shark's fin and put it into his mouth.

This dish is apricot yellow and translucent, the wing meat is soft and rotten, and the taste is mellow.

Fortunately, it was made by the royal chef in the palace.

"Brother Gu, how long will you stay in Yichang County this time?" Shen Jintang looked at him and asked.

The two are located next to each other.

Shen Jintang sits on Gu Baiyi's left hand side.

Gu Baiyi looked back at her and said with a smile: "There is nothing going on these days, I may stay here for a while."

As he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, looked at Shen Jintang, and said seriously: "I heard Shu Yue say that you once wrote to her about insecticide powder. Can you make the insecticide powder?"

Shen Jintang didn't expect that Gu Baiyi would suddenly ask this. He was stunned and nodded and said, "Yes. I also gave him Yin Zhuocheng's formula."

Shen Jintang kept her in mind and told Yin Zhuocheng about the fake formula.

The reason why she told this matter was because she trusted Gu Baiyi and Cui He.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Gu Baiyi was stunned for a long time and then shook his head and laughed.

Gu Jingnian, Chi Qinghuai and others almost burst into laughter, holding their stomachs and bursting into laughter.

"What's that called by Yin Zhuocheng? You're going to die if you do something wrong?"

Cui He added from the side: "Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by his own death!"

"It's his fault to trap himself in a cocoon and reap the consequences."

Seeing them chattering away, Shen Jintang also pursed his lips and smiled lightly.

"Brother Gu, I will write you the formula of the insecticide powder later. I'd rather trouble you to send someone to present it to the emperor." Shen Jintang said slowly.

Originally, she was supposed to write it today for Shen Mu to write a memorial and present it to the emperor, but she forgot about it.

But it’s okay to write to Gu Boyi.

Gu Baiyi, a great grandson, would never think of taking this as his own and taking advantage of Shen Mu's political achievements.

Moreover, Shen Jintang has been with him so many times and has become convinced of his character.

When Gu Baiyi heard this, he nodded happily and said okay.

After dinner, Gu Baiyi looked at Shen Jintang and asked with a smile: "Do you have anything going on this afternoon? Do you want to learn to ride a horse?"

Learn to ride a horse?

Shen Jintang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

She has wanted to learn for a long time, but has never had the time or opportunity.

These days, she can only see a doctor at the hospital in the morning, and then go for a walk in the village in the afternoon.

Now there aren't many things in Zhuangzi that she needs to worry about.

So Shen Jintang nodded decisively: "Okay."

After saying this, she looked at her clothes and said hesitantly: "My clothes are not good, are they?"

Don’t you need to change into smart riding clothes when learning to ride a horse?

Gu Baiyi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already prepared two women's riding clothes. You can go and try to see if they fit. If not, change them."

After he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman came over and looked at Shen Jintang's blessed body: "Miss Shen, this servant is an embroiderer. Do you want to try riding clothes now?"

Shen Jintang looked at Gu Baiyi in surprise. He actually brought not only the imperial chef, but also the embroiderer.

Gu Baiyi smiled at her and said, "Go."

Shen Jintang also nodded to Xiu Niang.

"Miss Shen, please come with me."

Shen Jintang followed Xiu Niang through the corridor and walked into a room.

The embroiderer pointed to the two sets of riding clothes placed on the bed and said: "Miss Shen, these two sets were ordered by His Highness to make for you. You can try which one you like first."

Each of these two sets is crimson, and the cuffs and neckline are edged with gold thread.

One set is moon-white, and the fabric has dark patterns embroidered with silver thread.

Shen Jintang took one look at it, pointed at the moon-white one and said, "That's it."

The embroiderer nodded, took the clothes and helped Shen Jintang put them on.

Shen Jintang waved his hand and said, "I can wear it myself. Please go outside and wait for me for a while."

After hearing this, the embroider girl nodded obediently and went out.

After walking out of the door, she was about to turn around and help close the door when she saw several of Shen Jintang's maids also walking out.

She glanced at Qingdai and the others in surprise, and asked, "Don't you have to wait for Miss Shen to try on clothes?"

Shen Jintang has never had the habit of letting others wait on her to dress.

Qingdai smiled and replied: "We girls have always dressed ourselves."

The embroider lady nodded after hearing this.

But in his heart, he thought that this Miss Shen not only has an appearance and temperament that is like a fairy, but also her behavior is different from that of the other ladies. It is no wonder that His Highness treats her differently.

This riding outfit also comes with a pair of boots and a hat.

The hat is very gorgeously made, with many tassels strung with crystal clear crystals hanging down from the brim, and tassels strung with soybean-sized pearls on both sides, hanging down to the chest.

After Shen Jintang finished dressing, she realized that except for the fat around her waist, everything else was just right.

She opened the door and walked out.

Qingdai and others were stunned as soon as they saw her. They put their fists on their chests and said in amazement: "Girl, you are so beautiful!"

The embroiderer's eyes also flashed with surprise.

This is the first time she has seen a girl who can wear the riding clothes she made with such a heroic look and full of fairy spirit.

"Miss Shen, is there anything that doesn't fit? I'll go and change it."

Shen Jintang shook her head, and the tassels on her hat jingled with her movements, which was very pleasant: "It's just a little bigger around the waist, but it's okay, no need to change it."

When the embroiderer heard this, she also glanced at her waist.

I sighed in my heart, this Miss Shen’s waist is really thin.

When His Highness told her the approximate size, she was worried that the waist would be too tight if it was too small, but she didn't expect that it was actually too big.

Since Shen Jintang said there was no need to change it, Xiu Niang didn’t force it.
