"Let me tell you ladies, this dress of the common girl is from Yuhualou."
Xu Zilan walked in from the outside and responded to everyone's words openly. The reason why she wore the clothes made by Jiang Miao today was to help her publicity. It was in line with her plan that the ladies of the aristocratic family took the initiative to inquire.
"We didn't buy it, why did you buy it?"
It's not that everyone looks down on her, it's just that Xu Zilan's status is really low. If it weren't for this dress, no one would even say anything to her, for fear of being lowered.
"A common girl came from a humble background and had never participated in such a grand banquet. She was afraid that something would go wrong, so she became a member of the Yuhua Building and asked the embroiderer to rush to make this dress at a high price..."
Xu Zilan didn't need to say the rest, others could understand that she was a rich man, and relying on her family's money, she asked the owner of Yuhua Building to jump in and make clothes for her.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a little heartbroken. Even though they have noble status, they may not be as rich as Xu Zilan, a businesswoman, let alone running Jade Guifang, which makes a lot of money every day.
Everyone must be lying if they say they are not envious, but they really can't afford so much money, so they can only wait for the next new arrival of Yuhua Tower and queue up in advance.
Xu Zilan, Zhao Mingzhen and others made Yuhualou's ready-made clothes popular. Those young ladies who bought Linglong Pavilion brocade clothes were ignored by everyone, and they felt hateful and angry.
All their money was wasted. They just let County Master Mingzhen steal the spotlight. A merchant girl dared to go against them. This banquet was really open to everyone.
"You can let in all kinds of cats and dogs, and the smell of copper all over your body will not be afraid of staining the flowers in the garden."
"It's just that no matter how beautiful some people wear, they can't pretend to be superior people. They just have the blood of inferior people flowing in their bones..."
Young ladies love to be picky, let alone a person who is inferior to them in every aspect, and they will never stop saying mean things.
Liu Ruyan watched with great interest. Not only did she not stop him, but she also added fuel to the fire from time to time. Who allowed Yuhualou to steal her business? And Xu Zilan, as an accomplice of Yuhualou, was regarded as a thorn in her side.
"Ms. Xu is only attending this banquet, and we won't have the chance to see her in the future. Why do you care about her?"
Liu Ruyan spoke softly, seemingly to rescue Xu Zilan, but he underestimated her identity every word, and the people next to her covered their mouths and laughed.
"What Mrs. Liu is saying is that we really don't need to pay attention to her. We have lost our position for nothing."
Xu Zilan stood in the crowd and listened to their humiliation, feeling nothing in her heart. These words were no match for the emperor's words. She just wanted to go home quickly, sort out what she had heard today, and send the news to Jiang Miao as soon as possible.
Today, she could not withstand the pressure of the emperor and tell the truth about Jiang Miao. Xu Zilan felt guilty in her heart. Fortunately, it was not a bad thing this time. If she had harmed Jiang Miao, she would definitely not be able to forgive herself.
"You people don't look like noble ladies. You are all meaner and meaner than country wives."
Xu Zilan didn't care, but some people couldn't stand it anymore.
Zhao Mingzhen usually attends banquets impatiently because she doesn't like the appearance of these noble ladies. She has nothing else to do except vanity and comparison. This lady of the Xu family seems to be neither humble nor arrogant and is a little more pleasing to the eye, so she can't help but stand up for her.
"County Master Mingzhen, how can you help outsiders..."
These noble girls from aristocratic families are together. Zhao Mingzhen helped Xu Zilan fight against them in public. The young ladies looked a little confused, and even Liu Ruyan next to her looked a little ugly.
Before, Zhao Mingzhen was so far away that you couldn't tell, but now they were standing together. Zhao Mingzhen was bright and majestic, which made Liu Ruyan look like a petty and unattractive person. There was a flash of jealousy in her eyes, and she always felt that everyone around her was...
He was laughing at her for not living up to her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the capital.
However, Zhao Mingzhen has no such intention at all. She is not qualified to be the most beautiful and talented woman. Compared with these, she would rather enjoy eating something delicious.
"Okay, I don't know that you are the best at bullying others as a team. With your arrogant and domineering appearance, I think you will be taught a lesson sooner or later. Madam Xu, the banquet is over. If you have nothing else to do, let's
Just leave together?"
When Zhao Mingzhen saw that Xu Zilan was in love with her, he not only helped her out, but also went to the end to take her away from the place of right and wrong.
Xu Zilan's heart has already flown far away, and she wishes she could leave her as soon as possible.
"Thank you, Lord County, I will go out with you."
With Zhao Mingzhen's support, others did not dare to embarrass her anymore. The two left the garden with everyone gnashing their teeth. Behind them, Liu Ruyan's mouth was straightened, and her eyes were cold and without any warmth. She was indeed Jiang Miao's bitch friend.
As annoying as she is.
"Sister Yan'er, let's go too?"
Jiang Ru's goal today has been achieved. Zhao Jing and the eldest princess have left. She wants to please but can't find anyone, so she might as well go back home first and think about her future plans.
"Let's go."
Liu Ruyan and Jiang Ru left hand in hand, and Xu Zilan on the other side also came out of the garden with Zhao Mingzhen. Zhao Mingzhen knew that she opened Yugui Fong and admired her ability, especially the hot pot she loved recently was also made by the Xu family.
Yes, after several conversations, Zhao Mingzhen was even more excited to see Xu Zilan.
"The hot pot that the county leader mentioned was made by Min Nu's friend. She not only knows how to make hot pot, but also knows a lot of delicious food. She made all the snacks in the famous food street in Zhenjiang Prefecture."
"Oh, the friend you are talking about is the wife of Magistrate Shen of Zhenjiang Prefecture?"
The deeds of Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao were spread throughout the aristocratic families in the capital. Both of them were capable. They developed Zhenjiang Mansion in less than a year and slapped Prime Minister Liu hard in the face.
People like Zhao Mingzhen, who have long been dissatisfied with Prime Minister Liu, felt very happy. If Princess Duan hadn't allowed her to travel far away, Zhao Mingzhen would have gone to Zhenjiang Prefecture to visit Jiang Miao's food street.
Although she had never met Jiang Miao, she felt from the bottom of her heart that the two would be very compatible, especially since the hot pot she liked was made by Jiang Miao. Zhao Mingzhen was even more interested in Jiang Miao.
"It was she who opened Minnv's Yugui Fong together with Miaoya. She not only makes delicious food, but also makes aromatherapy..."
Perhaps Zhao Mingzhen looked too kind, which made her let go of her coldness and tell all the good things about Jiang Miao. Zhao Mingzhen listened with rapt attention. Such a little lady is simply a strange woman, knowing everything and being omnipotent. Her
Interest is getting stronger.
"If I have a chance, I must meet her to see what kind of fairy she is!"
"Um."
The two of them broke up at the gate of Yujingyuan and each got on the carriage to go home. Zhao Mingzhen's trip was not in vain. Although she didn't fall in love with a husband of the right age, she made acquaintance with a lovely young lady and got to know her through her.
Zhao Mingzhen was very happy about the other young lady. She didn't know that the young lady she was interested in would be meeting soon.
