Chapter 54
Mu Yunyao brought the five hundred silver back to the inn and happily gave it to Su Qing . “Mother, look, this is my reward . ”
“Why is there so much?” How is it possible that a single clothing could cost five hundred silver?
“Your daughter’s creations are priceless, five hundred silver is already considered very cheap . Just you wait, when I become famous throughout the lands, Mother will be counting the money till your wrists become sore . ” In front of Su Qing, Mu Yunyao cannot help herself but act clever .
Su Qing tapped Mu Yunyao’s nose . “Alright, Mother will wait to count the silver . ”
For the next few days, Mu Yunyao specially went to the inn entrance to study the city girls . She saw that there were quite a lot of girls’ dresses with peony and vine patterns . The style was pretty much the same as Lady Jin’s . Mu Yunyao supported her chin with her hand . She gave a cunning smile . Colour Moon Shop’s shopkeeper has been busy, huh?
It was the sixth month’s seventh day, and also the date for the Provincial Governor’s wife’s banquet . Today was also the Emperor’s birthday . Today’s banquet is for the officials who are not in the Capital to gather and express their well wishes and loyalty to the Emperor who was in the Capital .
Lady Chen had arrived a long time ago . She was eagerly waiting to see Lady Jin’s expression . On the surface, Lady Chen and Lady Jin got along, but really, they disliked each other . This has been going for a long time already . The other Ladies present were also aware of this . They were also aware of the origin of the new trend of peony dresses . They also had quite a laugh about it .
“Lady Jin is here . ” Someone said . Everyone turned to look .
Seeing that she was still in that dress, everyone had a mocking smile . Lady Chen went up with an apologetic tone, “It was all my fault, I saw how perfect the dress was and could not help but talk to someone about it . Who knew, after just two days, there were so many dresses that looked so similar to yours . ”
“It is easy to draw the tiger and its skin, but it is difficult to draw its bones . It’s just a bunch of copycats, it’s not like it is anything new . ” Lady Jin’s smile was unchanging . When she saw the Provincial Governor’s wife coming towards them, she walked up to greet her .
Lady Chen sneered . Just as she was about to say more, she saw that the crowd was frozen .
The Provincial Governor’s wife was also frozen . It was a while before she asked Lady Jin to rise . She went forward to hold Lady Jin’s hand and take a closer look . “I have also heard of Jingling City copying your dress . Now that I see it, I have realised that not any person can copy this . ”
When Lady Jin walked, the peonies would tremble a little and the golden butterflies would fly around . It was all so bright and sparkly, if one said that this was a fairy from the Heaven’s dress, no one would disagree .
“It was my good fortune to meet such a talented little girl . If Lady likes it, when you are free, I can bring her over to help you make one . ,
The Provincial Governor’s wife’s smile became wider, “That would be nice . ”
If Lady Jin was standing alone, it would not be so obvious . But now that Lady Jin was standing with the crowd, the facts became too blinding .
Although the others’ dresses were all quite fitting, the fabric at the waist and the sleeves were a bit too wide . On the other hand, Lady Jin’s clothes pinched close to her figure, making her waist seem smaller . Her sleeves were also tight at the top and wider at the bottom, making her chest seem more full . She had a mature and noble aura . Everyone else was in her shadow .
Lady Chen had long hid behind the crowd, not daring to look up . She was wearing Colour Moon Shop’s new supply of clothes, also the Capital’s newest trending clothes . It was colourful and bright . There were also some peony patterns on it . She looked great, but beside Lady Jin, she looked ten years older, and she also looked like a fool for the things she had done .
At this time, no one bothered to notice her . Those who could talk to Lady Jin wanted to know who was the seamstress .
