The next day, at dawn, Mrs. Wei got up to prepare things for the banquet. The most important thing was to buy a few sets of decent clothes for her goddaughter.
As expected, Mei Yunfeng did not return home all night.
An Xiyue originally planned to go back home directly, but she couldn't bear to have her aunt go shopping in a clothing store alone, so she went with her.
An Xiyue seldom went shopping, and the folk customs in the Northern Dynasties were considered open. Misses from various aristocratic families could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys.
Kyoto is also a prosperous scene.
She and Wei visited the clothing store, jewelry store, silk and satin shop, and even a rice and grain store. Wei wanted to go in and have a look. An Xiyue also patiently walked with her aunt from shop to shop. After going around, Mrs. Wei didn't buy anything herself. Instead, she bought seven or eight sets of gorgeous clothes for An Xiyue. She even bought everything for her uncle and cousin.
Then she prepared several sets of clothes and jewelry for Li Yun'er according to An Xiyue's figure, thinking about everything very thoughtfully.
Wei said: "I want to dress up my two daughters like gods, so that the young masters in Kyoto will blind their eyes."
An Xiyue didn't resist. Looking at the happy smile on her aunt's face, she couldn't bear to let her down. As long as her aunt was happy, she could do whatever she wanted.
"My aunt has never met Yun'er, how can she be sure that she will fall in your eyes." An Xiyue was surprised.
"Because Aiwujiwuya is regarded as a sister by Yue'er, how can aunt not be nice to her?" Wei Shi gestured to An Xiyue's hand while choosing jewelry.
"Isn't this the general's wife? Humph, isn't the general's wife very busy when she comes shopping in such a leisurely and elegant way?"
The speaker was a noble lady wearing gold and silver. An Xiyue knew her as Mrs. He from the Earl's Mansion. I heard that her old lady celebrated her 70th birthday yesterday and it was very lively. The He family also sent a message to the Mei Mansion, but Mrs. Wei didn't go, so Mrs. He thought that Mr. Wei didn't like the Earl's Mansion.
But I met it here today.
Mrs. Wei didn't know Mrs. He at all, so she said directly: "Excuse me, do we know you?"
"Mrs. Mei is so arrogant." Mrs. He's face turned cold on the spot, and she suddenly felt very embarrassed. After all, their Earl's Mansion was from a noble family, and Mrs. Wei didn't recognize her. What was even more annoying was that Mrs. Wei refused the Earl's Mansion's offer. Invitation is just putting on airs.
Mrs. Wei was stunned and confused. When did she put on airs?
Another lady said: "Mrs. Mei is not in Kyoto all the year round. She has been stationed at the border fortress with General Mei for more than ten years. It is normal for Mrs. Mei not to know Mrs. He. I heard that the frontier fortress is a bitter cold place and the people there don't know much about etiquette. It's difficult. Mrs. Mei also suffered ten years of hardship in the frontier, let me introduce you, this is Mrs. He of the Earl's Palace, my husband's minister Zhang in the Ministry of Rites."
She was the wife of Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. What she meant was that Mrs. Mei had lived in the frontier for ten years and had naturally acquired the habits of the frontier fortress people.
After only one night, Wei was invisibly labeled as a self-reliant person, looking down on others just because she was the general's wife.
Mrs. Wei was dressed casually, with a simple woman's bun. Because she had been in the military all year round, she didn't like to wear heavy jewelry. She kept everything simple and convenient. She was in a hurry to go out today, so she didn't bother to tidy up. , but it still looks very eye-catching. Without too many decorations, it looks more gorgeous than many ladies.
