Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 196

Dan Xin took a long breath, and finally let it out, "How can my lady hold it back?"

"Hold back what?" Shen Xiniang looked sideways at her.

"Hold on to Shiba Niang and this lady Cai!" Jin Xiang said from the side.

Shen Xinniang didn't speak when she heard the words, but looked at Mrs. Yu in the gazebo.

At this moment, Yu's eyes did not fall on her, but instead chased after Miss Cai among the flowers.She had never seen Fang Yan smile like that, and Fang Yan had never smiled at her like that.

No matter what she did to Fang Yan, Fang Yan always treated her indifferently, and if she was entangled tightly, Fang Yan would still look at her with disgust.But just now, he actually smiled at the little lady he just met?That's the little lady of Cai Xiang's family, right?Because she is young and beautiful?Or is it because of her melodious piano sound?
Yu Shi raised her hand and covered her heart, thinking that as long as it wasn't for Shen Xinniang, she wouldn't feel bad.I thought she could take it lightly, just put a woman in his hands.

But now I know that she really likes him, even for the first emperor, she has never felt such jealousy.Even his smile to others, she was jealous and wanted to take it away!

"Empress Dowager..." Yu Zhuoying came to Yu Shi's side with a pale face.

"Don't worry," Mrs. Yu said slowly, "Aijia will make you Princess Qi."

Yu Zhuoying was taken aback when he heard the words, "Is there any hope?"

Yu looked at her coldly, "It's just that you don't have confidence in yourself, can't you trust Aijia?"

"Zhuoying dare not." Yu Zhuoying hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

When the banquet was over, Prince Qi's discussion still didn't stop.The little ladies chattered about how unique and dazzling Prince Qi is.

Mrs. Cai, who was praised by the prince of Qi as "not bad", should be praised by everyone.

"Cut, I'm really ignorant, the prince won't fall in love with that little lady, she's so stupid to be spoiled by her family! She doesn't understand anything!" Sitting on the carriage, Dan Xin said disdainfully, throwing the curtains of the carriage.

"Sister Danxin is getting more and more courageous now!" Jin Xiang said with a smile, "Dare to talk about the master in front of the lady!"

"No, I'm not talking about the master!" Dan Xin quickly waved her hand, and stepped on Jin Xiang's foot, "I'm just talking about Mrs. Cai."

"I took the prince's name card and invited Mrs. Cai out to play tomorrow." Shen Xiniang said.

"Ah?" Jin Xiang and Dan Xin were both taken aback when they heard the words, "What did the lady say?"

"Is it hard to understand my words?" Shen Xinniang asked sideways.

Danxin Jinxiang looked at each other, the words were not difficult to understand, but the meaning in the words was puzzling, "Why did the lady invite that lady Cai? Does the lady think she is easier to get along with than Shibaniang Yu?"

Shen Xinniang shook her head, "Whether she gets along well or not, what does it have to do with me?"

"The lady still..." Jin Xiang asked.

But Dan Xin came to his senses first, raised his hand and patted Jin Xiang's head, "You just have to do what the lady tells you, there are so many problems!"

Jin Xiang rubbed her head and muttered in a low voice, "It's as if you didn't ask just now!"

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and said, "Is there any movement at Yu Tai's place?"

Dan Xin shook her head, "After Jin Xiang comes back, Jin Xiang will send someone to take care of the matter over there."

Jin Xiang immediately said: "I don't know what Zhang Mingzhi and Huang Shuaiyin are busy with. They are not in the capital these few days."

"That is to say, now Yu Tai relies heavily on Lu Bei and his three brothers for everything around him?" Shen Xiniang asked.

Jin Xiang nodded quickly, "The main thing is to rely on Lu Bei. I heard that he has been in a good mood these days. He always goes to Mingxiangju with a smile every evening, and the rewards he gives are much more than usual."

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly, "This is a good thing."

Mrs. Cai, who returned home, was still immersed in King Qi's heart-pumping smile. Suddenly, she heard that someone at the door told her that Prince Qi's mansion handed over a name card, inviting her to go out together tomorrow.

Mrs. Cai was so excited that she couldn't hold it back, she grabbed the servant girl's hand and said, "I said that his smile was aimed at me, but Qiniang also said no! It's clearly jealous of me!"

The maid followed suit again and again.

"Look, all the famous posts have been sent, invite me to go out together tomorrow! It must be my piano music that has moved the prince!" Mrs. Cai was incoherent excitedly, "Which dress do you think I should wear tomorrow? That lilac-colored one How? No, no, have the newly bought spring grass and newly made clothes been delivered? I want to try!"

"My lady, whether I can go out tomorrow depends on what my wife says!" The servant girl reminded her.

"What do you mean if you can go out? Why can't you? Why can't you? Don't worry about it!" Mrs. Cai stared and warned, "Mother loves me the most, I beg, there is no answer!"

The servant girl didn't dare to say much, watching her wife busily rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

In the morning of the next day, the sky was bright and clear, and it really was a good time to play.

The large carriage of King Qi's mansion with the emblem of the noble phoenix parked outside the gate of Cai Xiang's mansion.

When Mrs. Cai heard that her daughter had agreed to go out in the carriage of King Qi's Mansion, it was too late to stop her. Madam Cai bought the gatekeepers at the main gate and the second gate early in the morning. Tell Mrs. Cai to know.

"Why are you?" Lady Cai sat in the luxurious and spacious carriage and asked with staring eyes.

Where in the carriage was there the handsome prince who made her blush and heartbeat?There was only the cold little concubine of King Qi, and the two maidservants beside the concubine who didn't look easy to provoke.

"My concubine is Shen Shi, the prince has to go to court today, I don't have time to spare, so I will accompany Lady Cai around." Shen Xiniang said slowly.

"What's the difference between me and you? You'd better send me back!" Cai Niangzi said.

"This is not good, I can't wait for Miss Cai." Shen Xinniang said, "I heard that there are a lot of new jewelry in Fuyue Silver Building in Dongshi City, and many bright colors in Yunxiang Cloth Store. Let's go to the place where women love to go."

Lady Cai frowned, she was thinking of going out with the prince, but she didn't bring a lot of money with her?
"Although the prince is not here, the concubine is here to entertain Mrs. Cai." Although Shen Xinniang didn't have a smile on her face, her tone was very gentle.

Mrs. Cai looked at her when she heard the words, "Are you entertaining me?"

Shen Xinniang nodded.

Mrs. Cai stopped coddling when she heard the words, and smiled, "Alright, let's go to Fuyue Silver Tower!"

A concubine wants to curry favor with her, the future mistress, and if she politely shirks, isn't she not giving her a chance to do her best?

The large and luxurious carriage headed for Dongshi.

The Fuyue Silver House stood on the street of Dongshi, the carriage was parked outside the building, Jin Xiang jumped out of the carriage first, and ordered the attendants of the Wangfu to clear the place, and asked all the customers in the Silver House to leave, and surrounded the Silver House to block the sight of passers-by. , then turned around and asked Shen Xiniang and Cai Niangzi to get off the car.

"You girl, you are very polite." Mrs. Cai said with a smile. She usually doesn't have such a big fight when she goes out, but the treatment she received today made her back stand extraordinarily straight, as if she was already the mistress of the palace.

The shopkeeper in the silver building saw the phoenix emblem on the carriage outside, and knew that it was a female family member of Prince Qi's mansion. He didn't dare to neglect, and eagerly introduced all kinds of rare objects to them. Apart from jewelry, there are also small gold pieces, which symbolize auspiciousness. Peanuts, golden gourds, and golden ruyis.Luxurious gold-encrusted heads of colorful treasures, gold-encrusted red jadeite bracelets...the list goes on and on.

Some of Mrs. Cai looked away after just one glance, and some looked more often, and some couldn’t put it down, but she had a good family education, and she didn’t want to ask for this or that. She only picked the two sets of hairstyles she liked the most. noodle.

When the shopkeeper made an offer, she couldn't help but click her tongue. These two sets of appearances alone almost caught up with her father's half a year's salary.

Shen Xinniang has a good memory, pointing to all the objects she has seen and touched, "I want them all."

Lady Cai's eyes widened in surprise, her expression couldn't even be described as surprise, but panic, "No, you don't need all of them, do you?"

They are all so prodigal like her, even if there are mountains of gold and silver in Prince Qi's mansion, they must be ruined by her, right?
She was speechless inwardly, but she still suppressed her emotions. A concubine can spend so much money. She is the future mistress, so what is she talking about!
When the shopkeeper delivered a large box of gold ornaments to the car, Mrs. Cai's footsteps were a little pretentious.

After getting in the car, Dan Xin smiled and handed the box to Mrs. Cai's maid, "Your wife picked it out, take it!"

Mrs. Cai's maid was holding the huge box on her knees, as if she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.It's not that my wife doesn't have jewelry, the lady is the granddaughter of Xiangye, and the master and wife love her very much, so there is absolutely no shortage of jewelry.But I have never bought so many brand new jewelry in one go!Is it really good to walk around the streets with so many jewelry in your hands?

The carriage stopped outside Yunxiang Cloth Shop.

Once the scene was cleared, Shen Xinniang and the others got out of the car.

Mrs. Cai's maid got out of the carriage with the heavy box in her hand, but Danxin refused to put the box on the carriage.You have to watch it for yourself.

"This Yunxiang Cloth Store has a daily purchase limit, are we too late?" the maid asked in a low voice.

Jin Xiang shook her head and chuckled, "It's not too late, my lady...uh, the prince has explained it early in the morning!"

Mrs. Cai had already stepped in first, looked left and right, and felt that her eyes were not enough, "When I came here a few days ago, why didn't there be so many fabrics and so many colors?"

Ye Guiniang greeted her with a smile, "This is a new cloth color, the downstairs is just a test, the pre-ordered one is not in stock."

Mrs. Cai was a little disappointed when she heard the words, "Ah, the scheduled payment, will the line be queued until next month?"

Seeing Shen Xinniang standing behind her, Ye Guiniang blessed her body calmly, "If someone else comes, they will naturally wait until next month."

When Mrs. Cai heard this, her eyes lit up, "Is this unusual from the shopkeeper?"

Ye Guiniang smiled subtly, and stretched out her hand to invite, "Also ask the lady to move upstairs."

Mrs. Cai looked back and saw that Shen Xinniang and the maid were following, so she walked upstairs with confidence, and her steps landed on the newly replaced wooden stairs. generally.

Ye Guiniang led the way to the front, went up to the second floor, and pushed open the doors of private rooms one by one.

All kinds of fabrics are neatly placed in each private room. Not only does the fabric not have the peculiar smell of starch, but it has a faint pleasant fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.The fabric is rich in color and bright in colour.

Mrs. Cai let out a slight exclamation, and stepped forward quickly, caressing the pieces of fabric with both hands lovingly, "These colors are more complete and more beautiful than those downstairs."

Her maid felt a little regretful that she was holding such a heavy box, and she couldn't move her hand even if she wanted to touch the fabric. She looked around, took two steps to Dan Xin's side, and put the heavy wooden box in her hand towards Dan Xin. With a push in his heart, "Miss, please help my wife hug first!"
