Luoyang Brocade Chapter 5 Part2
Chapter 5, Part 2: Thought
On the second day morning, Ling Jing Xian really came very early.
When met her, Ling Jing Xian called ‘Cousin Shu' very intimately, and then she took the initiative to choose clothes and jewelries for Ling Jing Shu.
“Cousin Shu, come and try this lotus colored dress, and also try on this red ruby head accessory.” Ling Jing Xian hung a bright smile on her face and she was very enthusiastic.
Bai Yu stood at the side looking at them, and she was angry and sulking.
This lotus color looked a bit dark and not bright enough. Previously, when picking fabric, this fabric was the leftover after all other misses had picked. Miss was good tempered, she was not calculative and brought this fabric back to make a dress but she had never wore it before.
There was also this red ruby head accessory. It was given by Old Madam Ling during Chinese New Year. Although the workmanship was superb, it was also more old-fashioned.
Ling Jing Xian picked those items, definitely had no good intention at all.
Bai Yu coughed and euphemistically said, “Eighth Miss, I think it is best to pick another one.”
“Cousin Xian's taste is good.” Ling Jing Shu smiled and interrupted Bai Yu, “I will wear this set. Bai Yu, come help me dress up.”
Bai Yu reluctantly responded, secretly biting her teeth in her heart. When she took the dress from Ling Jing Shu's hands, she couldn't stop herself from saying some sarcastic remarks, “Eighth Miss's taste is really good. Our Miss wear these today, definitely will left a deep impression on everyone.”
Bai Yu deliberately mentioned the words ‘deep impression' with more weight.
No matter how much little thoughts Ling Jing Xian's had, in the end, she had not yet cultivated to the realm of thick face and black heart, so she suddenly felt awkward.
Ling Jing Shu quietly made a look at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu shut her mouth and quickly helped Ling Jing Shu dress up.
When Ling Jing Shu appeared after dressed up, Ling Jing Xian's round eyes widened up in shock.
The not so pleasing lotus color, wore on Ling Jing Shu, it became very stunning. The cheek was as white as jade had a touch of pink. Her hair was tied up very beautifully like cloud, and a set of red gold and ruby red head accessory was worn neatly, showing the dignified and calmness of the girls of the same age.
Although she was not as stunning as usual, it was definitely more eye-catching and making people couldn't shift their eyes away.
Already deliberately picked a faint colored dress and old-fashioned jewelry, but worn on Ling Jing Shu, it became so glamorous.
Ling Jing Xian's heart was filled with jealousy and hatred, her eyes stared as though they were popping out.
Bai Yu saw Ling Jing Xian's somewhat distorted face, her heart felt much calmer. She deliberately smiled and asked, “Eighth Miss, please take a look at our Miss. She wear like this, it will not be rude in front of the guests?”
Ling Jing Xian squeezed out a smile, “Cousin Shu is so beautiful and well dressed, how will she be rude.”
Bai Yu pretended to felt relieve, “This is fine. At least it did not waste Eighth Miss's effort in choosing the outfit.”
Ling Jing Xian, “…”
Bai Yu did her best to protect her, this let Ling Jing Shu felt very warmhearted yet very funny. She let Bai Yu said a few insulting words before she smiled and said, “It is already very late, we should go to Yong He hall now.”
Ling Jing Xian's enthusiasm was dispelled more than half, and she responded with a not so friendly look.
The sisters held their hands together and they soon arrived at Hong He hall.
At this time, there were already many people in Yong He hall's inner hall.
Old Madam Ling was sitting at the top as usual. However, today, sited next to her was not her son or daughter-in-law, but her daughter that had returned from afar, Madam Ling.
Madam Ling was twenty-eight years old, she was very well maintained. She looked younger than her actual age and her face was rosy. The appearance was not particularly beautiful, but her eyebrows and eyes had a moving charm of mature woman.
The faint light that occasionally emerged between the her eyebrows and the eye waves was exactly the same as Old Madam Ling.
Her ruthless methods, even Old Madam Ling also couldn't compared to.
For her own status, she did not hesitate to push her own niece into the fire pit, and use her child's life to force her into submission. A few years later, she personally used the three feet white silk to kill her.
“This is fifth elder brother's daughter, Shu jie-er, right?” Madam Ling's smile and eyes were so kind, “Quickly come over here, let aunt take a better look at you.”
