The Shen family's Jiangnan silk and satin shop is the best in the world.
The foundation that goes back hundreds of years cannot be matched by the Song family.
If an imperial concubine or a good concubine wore such a dress, it would immediately trigger a trend, but if it were worn on Miss Zuo, it would not be too eye-catching, and everyone would just be slightly surprised and pass by.
Originally, Su Mo wanted to give her a birthday cake, but she told Wanchunyuan that she would give it to His Majesty on his Longevity Day.
Since it was a relatively unique and new thing, it was natural that she had to wait for the emperor to start it before others could use it, so she explained it to Mrs. Zuo and Miss Zuo along with the post three days in advance. They all understood and felt that Su Mo handled it thoughtfully.
.
Not many people came to congratulate Miss Zuo on her birthday, only a few people she knew well and a few family friends and children of the Zuo family.
Because of Princess An Ning's status, she allowed everyone to meet her, and then Mrs. Zuo accompanied her to the upper room to talk.
In addition, the prince also sent people to deliver heavy gifts, but they did not arrive.
Some people were clamoring to see the crown prince's congratulatory gift. After all, although the emperor had not announced it yet, every family had basically gotten the news from their own channels that the crown prince was going to marry Miss Zuo as the crown princess.
Therefore, some people look at the eldest lady with particularly ambiguous eyes.
The eldest lady cleaned her hands in person, and then opened the Xiangyun gauze covering the Huang Ling tray. It turned out to be two boxes of chess pieces, black and white, placed in two unique root-carved jars.
The opening of the jar is carved into the shape of a lotus, and there is also a picture of a spring garden carved on it, with rockery, begonias, and orchids. One is engraved with elegance, and the other is engraved with grace.
The carving is grand yet delicate, and the shape is elegant and regular.
Immediately, someone exclaimed at the chess pieces inside.
Miss Zuo's eyes also brightened, she pursed her lips, and her cheeks, lightly made up of makeup, also turned slightly red.
She reached out and picked up a sunspot and placed it on the marble countertop inlaid in the middle of the desk. The sunspot was a watery green, deep and steady, restrained and elegant.
She picked out a few more, each one the same size!
It turned out to be the finest emerald.
Su Mo's mind was quickly calculating. If all her boxes were converted into RMB, how much would it cost?
She couldn't help but laugh, but her eyes caught a glimpse of the eldest sister. She saw that the eldest sister's face was pale and her eyes were looking straight there.
If I could wear it back, I would give away a box of chess pieces like this.
