Reborn Princess Chasing Her Husband Crematorium

Xu Jing was enjoying family leisure time with his wife and children today.

When someone came to report that "Mrs. Tang is visiting", Xu actually looked at the sky.

It's obviously a beautiful day with clear skies, so why is it cloudy?

In the main hall of Xu Mansion.

"Your Highness, Princess, came to this humble abode to welcome you from afar. I wonder what your Highness's instructions are?" Xu Jing said with a smile.

"I think you should know the purpose of my coming to the north this time." Shen Qing said.

"Your Highness, do you have an idea?" Xu Jing asked.

"Yes, I want to hold a banquet in your name, Governor Xu, and invite all the young ladies of the wealthy and noble families, especially the Chu family. I am going to openly challenge the Chu family at the banquet."

"This..." Xu Jing hesitated.

When Shen Qing came to the north this time, Xu Jing and Ding Hongyu had the same idea at first, thinking that Shen Qing was pretending to be a family member and it was a joke.

But it was obvious that Shen Qing was very serious.

In fact, if Shen Qing can really win the north, it will be a good thing for Xu Jing.

While Xu Jing was thinking, Shen Qing didn't speak.

After a long time, Xu Jing said slowly.

"Your Highness, what you are going to do is really not a joke."

"I'm not joking."

Shen Qing took out the drawings of cotton armor from his arms.

He repeated what he had said to Tang Zongjiu and others before.

Xu Jing's eyes kept drifting back and forth between Shen Qing and the drawings.

Finally, he nodded.

The Xu Mansion's banquet will be held in half a month, and all the guests will be distinguished young ladies from well-known families.

Mainly government officials, but also many merchants.

After Ding Yuhang and Ding Hongyu repeatedly looked at the women's clothing, they finally made it.

Soon the day came when the Xu Mansion held a banquet.

In the Xujia courtyard in the summer morning, the sun shines through the sparse clouds and falls on the bluestone road, forming mottled light and shadow.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a bit of coolness, and also blew the leaves and flowers in the courtyard, making a rustling sound.

The green vegetation exudes vitality under the morning light.

The flowers sway in the breeze, exuding a light fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

In a corner of the courtyard, many women were already chatting together.

Chu Jinyun has a graceful figure, elegant temperament, beautiful and refined face, and long hair flowing like a waterfall.

At this time, she was talking and laughing with several official ladies.

"Jinyun, are your family going to have new clothes?" a woman said with bright eyes.

"Yes, if nothing else, it will be hung on the clothes rack of our [Chutian Cloth Shop] during the Qiqiao Festival." Chu Jinyun nodded.

"Can you tell me what it's like?" another woman asked curiously.

"I can't say this..." Chu Jinyun said slightly apologetically.

"The Chu family's clothes are not bad." The other women said.

"Yes, we like the Chu family's clothes the most."

“It’s comfortable, smooth, and the color is pretty.”

“There are more styles.”

"My mother and sister-in-law also like the Chu family's clothes."

“It’s a honor to give it away~”

"Who gave the Chu family's clothes to others~"

The girls chatted and laughed, adding another layer of red flowers and greenery to the flower-studded courtyard.

There was always a faint but polite smile on Chu Jinyun's lips.

She found it very boring.

With the Chu family's current reputation, why do they still want to fawn over them and please them as before?

Just like today, she was invited to even the banquets held by the Governor's Mansion, which shows that the Chu family's status in everyone's hearts now.

As long as Chu Jinyun stood outside, someone would come to ask about her clothes and makeup.

She doesn't need to do any other unnecessary things at all, business will come to her in a steady stream.

With this idea in mind, Chu Jinyun did not follow Master Chu's instructions at all, but followed her own preferences, surrounded by other girls, and experienced the delicious taste of being "sought after".

"Chu Jinyun."

At this time, a ringing voice came from the side.

Everyone looked and saw a girl in green walking into the crowd.

Chu Jinyun took a closer look and saw that it was Zhao Chunrui, the legitimate daughter of the Zhao County Cheng family.

The daughter of a ninth-grade sesame official.

Chu Jinyun thought.

"Chun Rui." Chu Jinyun responded.

"Chu Jinyun, last time you promised me that the wide-sleeved skirt would be ten taels cheaper, but I went to your shop a few days ago and the shopkeeper refused. What's going on?" Zhao Chunrui stopped in front of Chu Jinyun. Come ahead and get straight to the point.

who are you? Want me to give you a discount.

"Maybe the shopkeeper forgot." Chu Jinyun said apologetically, "I'll talk to him later."

"No, that's the new dress I want to wear on my birthday. It's meaningless after this time!" Zhao Chunrui said angrily, "I didn't buy it in the end!"

"When have the Chu family's clothes ever been cheaper? Zhao Chunrui, don't talk nonsense." The woman on the side said.

"Yes, yes, the Chu family's clothes have always been pure and innocent."

"Originally, everyone bought it at the original price."

"Zhao Chunrui, don't talk nonsense."

Everyone spoke one after another.

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Zhao Chunrui's eyes turned red after being criticized by everyone. "Because I was celebrating my birthday, Chu Jinyun said that I had liked that dress as a birthday present for me for a long time. She said it herself Give me a discount!"

"Jinyun, is this happening?"

"No way?"

Idiot, that's just to get you to promote me.

"Chun Rui is the birthday girl, so if she says yes, let's do it." Chu Jinyun said lightly.

"Chu Jinyun, what do you mean?" Zhao Chunrui heard something in Chu Jinyun's words, "You go back on your word and bite me back?!"

"Zhao Chunrui, stop looking for trouble and leave quickly."

"I think you're just making assumptions about your birthday."

"I didn't! I didn't lie!" Zhao Chunrui's red eyes began to become moist, like a misty forest in winter, dotted with crystals.

"Then you are saying that Jinyun is lying?"

"She is lying!" Zhao Chunrui shouted.

"How do you prove it?"

"I...!" Zhao Chunrui suddenly realized that she had no evidence to prove that Chu Jinyun was lying.

"Then how do you prove that Chu Jinyun is not lying?"

Suddenly, another voice came from the side. The voice was like a sweet piano, smooth and beautiful.

Under the summer sunshine, Shen Qing walked slowly. She was wearing a gorgeous emerald green smoked gauze horse-faced skirt, which seemed to condense the colors of the entire summer on her body.

Shen Qing's figure is as graceful as a willow branch.

The horse-faced skirt she was wearing had an emerald green base and was embroidered with cyan flowers. Each one was so exquisite that it was as if she could smell the faint fragrance of the flowers.

The skirt swayed gently as she walked, rippling like water waves, revealing endless elegance and charm.

Against the backdrop of the horse-faced skirt, Shen Qing's skin appears fairer than snow, exuding a natural luster.

She spoke the most confident words and had the warmest smile, like a clear spring in summer, dazzling and brilliant, making people irresistible to her charm.

She walked gracefully, as if she were dancing lightly with every step.

This was the first time for the girls to see Shen Qing. Everyone's eyes were attracted to Shen Qing, and the next second, they immediately turned to the hand-embroidered rose on Shen Qing's horse-faced skirt.

I saw the petals of the rose, layer upon layer, tight and orderly, swaying with the swing of the skirt, and even changing colors every time it swayed!

The girls were surprised by the changing colors.

From the time Shen Qing appeared until he stood in front of them, the colors of the roses changed from deep red to light pink, a total of four colors!

How is this done?

"What's going on here?"

Mrs. Xu's voice came from beside Shen Qing, gentle and warm.

These words seemed to be a heart-clearing mantra, and everyone's eyes finally turned away from Shen Qing.

The only one still staring at Shen Qing was Chu Jinyun.

"Mrs. Xu."

Everyone opened their mouths to salute Mrs. Xu.

And the next second, everyone discovered that Mrs. Xu’s new clothes today also had this color-changing rose!

At this time, the little lady held by Mrs. Xu said in a sweet voice: "Mom, Yue'er is hungry."

Her chubby little body moved in Mrs. Xu's arms.

Xiaotuanzi was wearing an official yellow skirt embroidered with sunflowers, and at this moment, the sunflower actually bloomed in everyone's eyes!

Finally, a woman couldn't help but speak.

"Jinyun, are these the new clothes your family is about to launch?"

"Jinyun, how on earth is this done?"

"This is too pretty!"

"Isn't it expensive?"

One person asked, and others stepped forward to ask.

Chu Jinyun also noticed the two pieces of clothing on Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu.

Under the cross-examination of everyone, Chu Jinyun's face became a little stagnant.

There was a hint of displeasure in this silence.

She had to admit that she was shocked by the embroidery that would change with the swing of the skirt or body movements.

Because the Chu family does not have such capable people.

The smile that always carried a sense of confidence and victory on Chu Jinyun's face had disappeared at this moment.

Her eyes were filled with scrutiny, and they rested on Shen Qing.

Seeing that Chu Jinyun remained silent, everyone gradually stopped asking, and then realized that the two clothes worn by Mrs. Xu and her daughter were not made by the Chu family.

Everyone's excited reaction just now was obviously embarrassing Chu Jinyun. "So," Shen Qing spoke again, "how do you prove that Chu Jinyun didn't lie?"

Coming full circle, things are back to where they started.

The woman who was asked by Shen Qing was still immersed in the changing pattern and did not react at all.

"What lie?" The woman was stunned, "Who lied? What did I say?"

Shen Qing smiled and shook his head.

Forget it, don’t argue with the little girl.

"Everyone should be kind and gentle," Mrs. Xu said, "It's hot today, so I ordered someone to prepare some iced fruits and deliver them to you soon."

"Thank you, Mrs. Xu."

"Mrs. Xu, this dress on you looks really nice."

"Yeah, where did you buy it?"

"The clothes Sister Yue is wearing are also good-looking. I want to buy them for my younger brothers and sisters at home."

The girls are all focused on the clothes now, and no matter how delicious the fruit is, they have been put aside for the time being.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Shen Qing.

"Mrs. Xu, please stop showing off."

"Mrs. Xu, please tell me quickly."

"its me."

Mrs. Xu paused and shook her skirt while speaking. The rose began to change color again, and the girls' eyes seemed to change color along with the rose flowers.

"It was given by the boss of [Zai Shuifang]."

"[On the water side]?"

"Which clothing store is this?"

"I don't think you've heard of it?"

"do not know."

"Have not heard."

Ladies, look at me and I look at you. I have never imagined that there is such a ready-to-wear shop.

"[On the Water Side] will be opened on Qiqiao Festival, and each woman can only purchase one piece."

Shen Qing spoke at the right time.

"Is this expensive?" a woman asked.

"One item is fifty taels. On the opening day of the Qiqiao Festival and within one week after the opening, all items are 50% off, which is twenty-five taels." Shen Qing said.

Before Shen Qing finished speaking, the girls were all frightened by the price.

"Fifty taels!"

"Are you robbing me?"

"What clothes cost fifty taels?"

"Oh my God, this is too expensive!"

"Then what if I say that this was hand-sewn by the number one embroiderer in the Xi Kingdom?" Shen Qing said with a confident smile.

"what?!"

"Is it Mr. Ding?"

"I do not believe."

"Mr. Ding is in the imperial capital, how could he come to our north?"

"fraud."

"People nowadays will do anything to defraud money."

"Believe it or not, Mr. Ding will make this special embroidery on the opening day of [Zai Shuifang]." Shen Qing said with a smile all the time.

At this time, another woman spoke.

"Then it doesn't cost fifty taels, right?"

"Yes, even if it is Mr. Ding's embroidery, it won't cost fifty taels."

"Then what if it is customized for each girl and is the only one in Xi Kingdom?" Shen Qing continued.

Everyone gasped at the same time.

Private custom!

Even Chu Jinyun not only opened her eyes.

Her gaze seemed to be filled with clay, sticking tightly to Shen Qing's body without moving at all.

New clothing stores, all kinds of unheard-of techniques.

Intuition told Chu Jinyun that this woman was here for the Chu family.

And the ultimate goal of coming towards the Chu family is naturally self-evident.

Shen Qing was very satisfied with the reactions of the girls.

She dangled in front of everyone, and the look of the roses in full bloom lit up the little faces of her daughters.

She stood upright and continued.

"What if we are not only for ladies and ladies, but also have clothes exclusive for men? We even say that we can also make custom-made clothes for brothers and sisters in your family. Please tell me, is such a piece of clothing really worth fifty taels? Is it expensive?”

For a while, everyone fell into deep thought.

Just for this "only share", fifty taels is not expensive.

Because many people often ask the Chu family to make clothes, and some clothes from the Chu family even cost a hundred taels.

At this time, Chu Jindu stood up and faced Shen Qing: "Are you here to see the Chu family?"

Shen Qing nodded: "Of course, I heard that comparing sales is the rule of the Chu family."

"Yes, you have to go to the Chu family to discuss this matter and sign a contract." Chu Jindu said.

"Then I'll trouble Miss Chu." Shen Qing said.

With these two simple sentences, everyone fully reacted.

This woman who has never met before and her unique and creative clothes, under the banner of a new clothing store that has not yet opened, actually came to challenge the Chu family, the leader of the Northern Chamber of Commerce!

How long has it been since anyone challenged the Chu family?

It’s been almost a year, right?

For a moment, everyone could almost see the sparks radiating between Chu Jinyun and Shen Qing!

At this point, Chu Jindu began to look at Shen Qing seriously.

Such appearance, such temperament, such connections...

After a while, Chu Jindu asked: "What's your name?"

"My husband's family name is Tang."

Shen Qing has been particularly fond of "hiding his name" recently. Every time he brings out Tang Zongjiu's name, it's always "my husband's family" or "my husband", and he never gets tired of it.

"Don?"

"Ah...could it be...!"

"It can't be Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang who won the first place on the Dragon Head Festival!"

Shen Qing admitted readily.

"Exactly."

The title of "Leader of the Dragon Head Festival" is more useful than Shen Qing imagined.

It was a whim at the time, and I didn’t expect it to still be effective to this day.

"Oh my god, the rumors are indeed true."

"Yes, at the beginning of the year, the first person in charge will be the new president of the Chamber of Commerce."

"The Chu family was also such a blockbuster back then, right?"

"No wonder everyone attaches so much importance to the Dragon Head Festival competition..."

"So... do you think there will be a replacement this year?"

Chu Jindu was a little impatient amidst these discussions and said in a serious tone.

"of course not."

She looked directly at Shen Qing, with a strong look in her eyes that could not be challenged or questioned.

"The Chu family welcomes anyone to challenge and will not lose to anyone."

"That's perfect." Shen Qing said with a smile, "Then I will come to your mansion to visit you tomorrow."

"You can do it at any time." Chu Jindu said.

Having achieved her goal, Shen Qing naturally stopped talking and turned to everyone: "Today I met you all for the first time, and I brought a meeting gift for everyone. Although it is not as good as the embroidery on the skirt, it is still Mr. Ding's leisure work. , please don’t dislike it.”

When the girls heard that there was a gift and it was Mr. Ding who added the embroidery, they felt happy.

"No, no!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Tang."

"This is so embarrassing."

A small piece of silk handkerchief, a small means to win over people's hearts, it was Shen Qing's first time to practice it.

When sending it to Zhao Chunrui, Shen Qing gently placed the only double-sided embroidered handkerchief in Zhao Chunrui's palm.

"I missed your birthday, but I still wish you peace and happiness and longevity."

Zhao Chunrui's nose was a little sore.

She had been very unhappy because of the incident of ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver, not ten copper coins. Ten taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live for a year.

She liked the dress that Chu Jinyun promised her so much that she was still short of money until Chu Jinyun agreed to sell it to her at a discount of ten taels.

After that, she lived frugally and saved for more than half a year, and finally got enough, but Chu Jinyun went back on her word.

Therefore, when the girls were chatting and laughing, she remained glum and silent.

At this time, the silk handkerchief with different patterns on the front and back made Zhao Chunrui feel a lot warmer.

"Thank you." Zhao Chunrui finally had a smile on his lips.

This scene was seen by Chu Jindu, and his eyes gradually showed a hint of jealousy.

"Did I say I would introduce you?" she said coldly, bowing to the girls and Mrs. Xu: "Jinyun is a little unwell, please leave first."

After saying that, he took his own steps and left without looking back.

Mrs. Xu hugged Sister Yue. Seeing the servants bringing the fruit, she relaxed the atmosphere and said, "Everyone, let's eat the fruit."

Shen Qing looked at the direction Chu Jinyun left and squinted his eyes.

The purpose of today's banquet has been achieved. As for going to the Chu family to officially launch a challenge, Shen Qing does not need to rely on Chu Jinyun at all. (End of chapter)
