She knelt down and saluted calmly, and said, "Master Jinglan, is it His Highness who wants to make some clothes?"
Jinglan picked up the cloth in her hand and said: "The prince's palace needs to buy new clothes for the maids and maids. Let's make one for this girl first. If the color is suitable, I will go back and report it to His Highness, and then we can buy it in bulk."
"Yes." The proprietress nodded, looked at the girl who was as beautiful as a hibiscus in front of her, couldn't help but smile, and said: "What a beautiful little girl, it turns out that this white dress was also made for her."
Chu Jiaoli showed a polite smile and nodded towards her.
The landlady walked around her, took a closer look at her beautiful figure, and said, "This girl is beautiful. She can wear any color of clothes."
Chu Jiaoli smiled lightly and said, "The boss lady is too flattering."
The two of them were polite for a while, and then the proprietress measured the size for her, and then gave it to the embroiderer to sew. While waiting, she sent Chu Jiaoli to the private room to wait.
An hour later, the clothes were quickly finished. The landlady smiled and said, "Miss Jiaoli, do you like it if you put it on?"
Chu Jiaoli nodded, took the new clothes, and walked behind the screen to change into them.
Slowly walking out of the screen, she came to the bronze mirror. When she raised her eyes, what caught her eye was a light cyan gradient chest-length skirt. The delicate fabric on the chest was embroidered with lifelike pear blossoms, making her look like a heavenly garment.
She was a little stunned. She had never worn blue clothes before, so she never thought that it would not be against the rules.
She showed a faint smile and said: "Since you are serving as a maid in the Prince's Palace, you should go back to the Palace to ask His Highness for his opinion."
"Miss Jiaoli is right."
Just as he was about to walk out of the private room, he bumped into a familiar figure.
Chu Jiaoping was wearing a simple orange dress. The Chu Mansion had been in decline for a while. It had been heard before that she was attracted by Beigong Lingshao, the younger brother of the Crown Prince of Jin.
business identity.
Tight days have become more relaxed, so it’s natural to change your wardrobe.
Although Chu Mansion is a cloth merchant, there are also tailors who can make clothes, but the one with the most abundant styles is undoubtedly Jinxiu Pavilion. It is quite a sight to come to this most famous place to customize a gorgeous dress.
Before the new clothes were finished, she happened to meet Chu Jiaoli wearing very ordinary clothes.
She looked at Chu Jiaoli's elegant and beautiful clothes, and suddenly frowned in displeasure, clenching the fists in her sleeves, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Chu Jiaoli! Why are you here?!" Chu Jiaoping walked quickly to Chu Jiaoli and said angrily.
Chu Jiaoli glanced at her with an unkind look, then turned and left without saying a word.
This woman is not worth her breath.
The landlady broke the deadlock with a smile and said: "Miss Chu Er, your new clothes are almost ready. Please go back to the private room and wait."
Chu Jiaoping pretended not to hear, snorted coldly, walked quickly behind Chu Jiaoli, raised her hand and pulled off her robe.
"Hiss--" There was a sound, and a large piece of the finished clothes was torn off. Both Chu Jiaoli and the proprietress were extremely surprised.
The landlady immediately put Chu Jiaoli's old clothes on her body to cover her body.
Seeing the clothes being destroyed, Chu Jiaoping sneered and said, "What is your identity? Do you deserve to wear such beautiful clothes?"
Chu Jiaoli frowned and said, "Chu Jiaoping, you are too unreasonable."
"Miss Chu Er, you are so brave. This is a sample of the maid uniform custom-made by the Prince's Mansion. I am about to take it to His Highness for review." Jing Lan walked in from outside and said coldly.
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoping was suddenly startled and could not help but retreat in fear.
She originally only wanted to cure Chu Jiaoli, but she never thought that the skirt she destroyed with her own hands was Beigong Tengxiao's.
At this moment, her body was trembling slightly, and her lips and teeth were so panicked that she could not make a sound.
"Quick, tell the embroiderer to do it again!" the proprietress ordered to the maid behind her.
"yes."
The landlady sighed softly, then frowned and said to Chu Jiaoping: "Miss Chu Er, you are too rude. From now on, our Jinxiu Pavilion will no longer accept your business. Please come back.
"
"Wait a minute." Before Chu Jiaoping could move, Jinglan walked up to her with a serious face and said, "You have ruined such an important piece of clothing, so naturally you will come back to the Prince's Mansion with me to let His Highness do what you want."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoping knelt down with a plop, a little cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and said: "Sir, spare my life, I didn't mean it!"
Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips, stepped forward and said, "Jinglan, as long as she pays for this set of clothes, let her go. Your Highness, I have my own explanation." She turned to look at Helpless.
Chu Jiaoping said, "Second sister, you should have some silver to pay for it, right?"
Chu Jiaoping immediately nodded and said: "The clothes I customized should be enough for this set of clothes!"
The landlady snorted softly and said, "It's not enough, I need to add another twenty taels."
Chu Jiaoping was stunned for a moment. The price of her custom-made attire was not as good as Chu Jiaoli's maid uniform!
But her life was important now, so she gritted her teeth and took out twenty taels of silver ingots from her arms, handed them to the landlady, and left in a hurry.
She was trotting along the street with her skirt in hand when she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. She raised her frightened eyes and saw the groom tightening the reins.
Chu Jiaoping looked at the gorgeous carriage, her legs suddenly softened from fear, and she fell to the ground.
"Ouch! What are you doing!" Concubine Ling in the carriage quickly fixed the crown on her head, sat upright, frowned and shouted to the coachman.
Hongying quickly opened the curtain and saw the girl sitting on the ground.
She frowned and shouted: "You are so bold! The person sitting inside is Concubine Ling! If anything happens to your concubine, can you bear it?"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoping's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "My dear concubine, please spare your life! The daughter of the people did not do this on purpose!"
Concubine Ling narrowed her willow-leaf eyes slightly and saw the somewhat familiar face through the curtain, and asked, "What's your name?"
Cold sweat broke out on Chu Jiaoping's forehead, and her lips and teeth trembled as she said: "A commoner's daughter... A commoner's daughter's name is Chu Jiaoping..."
Chu Jiaoping...
Concubine Ling's eyes flashed with surprise, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you know Chu Jiaoli?"
Chu Jiaoping lowered her head and replied: "Back to your Majesty, Chu Jiaoping is the third sister of a common girl."
Hearing this, Concubine Ling was stunned for a while.
What a coincidence...
She slightly raised the corners of her lips and said, "That's all, please leave quickly. Be careful when walking and don't rush into each other."
"Thank you, empress, for your kindness! The daughter of the people will leave now!" Chu Jiaoping kowtowed twice, then got up and walked around the carriage and left.
The carriage continued to drive, and Concubine Ling turned the ring on her finger leisurely.
Hongying said in confusion: "Mother, why did you let Chu Jiaoli's relatives go like this?"
"Hmph." Concubine Ling sneered and said, "Keep it for now, it will be useful. You can send someone to check out her relationship with Chu Jiaoli."
