After enduring for so long, waiting for her mother to negotiate with Zhu Ni for so long, and finally giving in, Meng Yijiao finally couldn't help it anymore and decided to take action on her own.
Zhu Yan turned her attention to Zhu Ni. Zhu Ni came with her sister-in-law Yin. Although her grandmother, Mrs. Zhen Guogong, also wanted to come, she was old after all. There must be a lot of guests at the opening today. She was worried about disturbing her, so Zhu Yan went Advise her to come back another day.
Mrs. Zhen Guogong herself did not come. What she was most worried about was not how Zhu Yan's shop was, but her second granddaughter Zhu Ni. This was not because Mrs. Zhen Guogong was partial to her second granddaughter, but because Zhu Ni's parents were not in Ningdu all year round. Ni has always been with Mrs. Zhen Guo Gong. She herself is very competitive, but she often fails to win, gets sulky, and has a sensitive and suspicious personality. She always makes Mrs. Zhen Guo Gong think more, and is worried about her being outside. She offends others for no reason, and is also worried that others will offend her by unintentional words.
That's why he asked his eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yin, to take her with her.
Seeing that the morning was coming to an end, Mrs. Yin just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Meng Yijiao's words.
As soon as Meng Yijiao finished speaking, Mrs. Sun was startled and immediately scolded: "You kid, what are you talking nonsense? Everything is done on a first-come, first-served basis. If you don't like that Ruyi Dark Pattern Skirt, we'll go look for it in another store."
Then he said to Zhu Yan: "Sister Yan, let's say goodbye first. The princess is still upstairs, so I won't disturb her. Please help me talk to your mother."
With that said, he went to pull Meng Yijiao and take her away.
Meng Yijiao used to go to any store to buy clothes, and the store would give them whatever she liked. Even if that piece of clothing had already been ordered, she would always find a way to buy it back in the end.
Today, she thought the result would be the same as every time before, so she was unwilling to leave in such a dejected manner.
"Don't leave yet!"
When Mrs. Sun saw that she couldn't hold her daughter back, she shouted in a low voice.
Seeing this, the third wife of Yongqing Hou also came over to persuade: "Sister Jiao, I remember that there is a ready-made clothes shop on the street in front. The clothes in there are also very beautiful. I bought them for your fourth sister. Why don't we Go there and see!”
Meng Yijiao glanced sideways at the clothes of the fourth girl, Meng Yijing, and hummed, but said nothing, obviously she didn't like the clothes on Meng Yijing.
Meng Yijing's face turned a little red.
The female family members of the Yongqing Marquis were talking to themselves here, while Zhu Ni, who was being ridiculed by Meng Yijiao for no reason, how could she expose this matter so easily.
No wonder she waited for the mother and daughter to discuss it several times before thinking of fighting back. She was really in a daze. She had naturally met people who were not so friendly to her before, but due to her identity, even those people were not so friendly. If he likes her, he will only talk about her behind her back.
Even if there are one or two people who dare to ridicule her face to face, they are all sarcasm. Unlike this girl Meng Er, calling her fat in front of her is completely off the mark. She needs time to adjust her emotions.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Mrs. Sun was still thinking about how to take away her troubled daughter when she heard a burst of crying.
It was Zhu Ni who was sobbing quietly.
Zhu Yan frowned and came again.
Geng Xingshuang watched for a while, but Zhu Yan refused to let her come forward, but now it was Zhu Ni, the second girl, who was in a mood. Zhu Yan felt sympathy and boredom for Zhu Ni, her cousin, and her emotions were very complicated.
In this case, Geng Xingshuang could only step forward to comfort Zhu Ni.
"Second Sister Zhu, look at the dresses hanging in our store. They all come in four sizes. You can even wear the medium size. You're not considered fat. Look, I'm not as tall as you, but I still have to wear the medium size. , to put it this way, I am fatter than you. In fact, according to your height, the most suitable size should be the large size. Sister Yan is as tall as you. If she wears that Liuxian skirt, she must also wear the large size. Only by wearing it can you get the best effect.”
Geng Xingshuang spoke sincerely, looking at Zhu Ni with sincerity in her clear eyes.
Just now, Mrs. Yin advised her "stop crying" several times, but Zhu Ni seemed not to hear her at all and continued to sob quietly. The sound was not loud, it could be said to be very small, but it made people very irritated.
Geng Xingshuang's voice is soft and sweet, like a slowly flowing stream in summer, making people feel sweet and comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhu Ni also stopped crying. Although Meng Yijiao's words just now were unpleasant, she felt so uncomfortable not just because of her words. When she just tried on the last medium-sized Liuxian skirt, her upper body was very tight.
She had to inhale hard to stop looking so broken. Only the maid who went in to serve saw it. She liked that dress very much and was worried that her sister-in-law would see it and persuade her to buy a larger size, so After trying it on, he didn't come out to let Mr. Yin see it.
Zhu Yan received Geng Xingshuang's gaze. Although she was a little reluctant, she still persuaded her in a good voice: "Yes, second sister, I also have a fairy dress with flying flowers trailing to the ground. You can't wear this dress well." , it needs to be a few inches looser to look good in it. You are not fat, I have told you this a long time ago. Look at you, you can even wear a medium size, but you are not fat."
Zhu Yan didn't mean what she said. In fact, Zhu Ni's body shape was very similar to Jiang Xuefu's. The two of them were not fat, but had large frames and tall stature, so they looked tall and strong.
If you wear it appropriately, you will have a dashing and heroic appearance.
However, Zhu Ni's ideas are very similar to those of Jiang Xuefu's mother, Wang, who likes to dress herself or her daughter in colorful flowers.
The brighter the color, the better, and the more complicated the style, the more I like it.
Zhu Ni's mood improved a lot, but she still couldn't get down the stairs. She was still thinking about changing the size, but she couldn't say it.
Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan saw Zhu Ni's thoughts, but Zhu Yan no longer wanted to speak.
Geng Xingshuang didn't force it, and was preparing to give Zhu Ni a step up. It was up to her whether she would accept it or not.
At this time, a gentle female voice was heard from behind.
"What's going on here?"
Geng Xingshuang looked at the person who came. She was a middle-aged woman with a plum blossom-style gold-inlaid jade hairpin on her head, a pair of green jade bracelets on her hands, and a long skirt with a matching color. She had a few silk flowers plastered on her body seemingly casually, but she looked dignified but not rigid, noble but not ostentatious, and well-groomed.
She came out of the embroidered shoe area, followed by a maid, who was holding a new pair of embroidered shoes in her hands.
Geng Xingshuang didn't know this lady. She should be Zhu Yan's guest.
"Mrs. Li, have you chosen your embroidered shoes?"
Sure enough, Zhu Yan greeted.
Mrs. Li nodded and was about to speak when she heard the commotion outside. It seemed that many people were coming.
Geng Xingshuang and others hurriedly looked outside and saw two girls in gorgeous clothes slowly walking in surrounded by a group of servants.
Geng Xingshuang's first reaction was to look at Zhu Yan. The two girls looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. They were bright and elegant, with noble temperament. Although the clothes they wore were common styles outside, the materials... should be tributes.
The identities of the two people were about to come out, and people in the store had already recognized them, including Zhu Ni, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yongqinghou Shizi.
