Chapter 429 Garden Tour (2)

The round-faced lady chuckled and said with a bit of pride: "I have the most poisonous eyes. With just one glance, I can tell which jewelry house or clothes someone is wearing. You can't go wrong with Jiaxiu Studio!"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to Caiwei's clothes and said, "The embroidery on the young lady is made by Liu Sigu, the best embroiderer in Shu embroidery workshop. The embroidery work alone on this piece of clothing is worth three hundred taels of silver. The skirt It's also from Shu Embroidery Workshop, but it's not Liu Sigu's craftsmanship. It looks like the work was done by Aunt An, and the lady's embroidered shoes..."

The round-faced lady was very talkative and could not stop talking. She soon became familiar with Caiwei.

Through conversation, Caiwei learned that she was the eldest daughter of the Jian'an Hou Mansion, named Wu Xiangyun. She was sixteen years old this year and was attending the Queen's Shangsi Festival banquet for the third time.

Caiwei also told her her identity frankly. Xiangyun was a very good person and did not look down on Caiwei because of her humble background. Instead, she was very interested in Caiwei's experience.

"Caiwei, so the kebab you invented is delicious?"

"You could say that!"

"Oh, I will definitely try it myself another day. No, I will go tonight."

Wu Xiangyun nodded, "Well, that's it!"

Caiwei likes Xiangyun's personality very much. She is cheerful, straightforward, unpretentious, and sincere. She is many times better than the Du Wanqiu next to her.

Du Wanqiu hardly spoke from the moment she sat down. She looked like a reserved young lady, but her eyes looked left and right. From time to time, she glanced at the male guest seat on the left. Who did she catch her eye on?

Caiwei didn't understand her behavior, she just waited to see the noble queen. It was getting late now, and everyone was already here. The Queen had not shown up yet, and the royal family had only come with a few weak princes and a few lowly concubines, the big shots who could hold up the scene. , none of them arrived.

Caiwei had never attended a royal banquet and didn't know the rules of a royal banquet, but she secretly thought that it was bad behavior for the host to not even show his face when the guests had arrived. Others must have thought so too. It's just that I don't dare to say it.

Just as I was thinking about it, a big eunuch came over with a whisk in his hand and said in a sharp voice: "The Queen will arrive later. The Queen has a decree. Please enjoy yourself, gentlemen and ladies, without restraint."

Since the Queen has not come yet, and it seems that she will not come in a short time, many people have left the table and started playing in groups in the imperial garden.

However, everyone has a tacit understanding to avoid the waterfront pavilion in the middle. Most of them play on the promenade surrounding the lake. The beauties sitting on the corridor are leaning against each other, blowing the warm wind, and looking at the distant scenery. Not to mention How comfortable.

There were also a few young men from aristocratic families who went directly to the boat and let the little eunuch who was punting the boat take them for a closer tour to enjoy themselves.

Du Wanru dressed up as a girl picking Wei, and followed behind her. Her beautiful eyes were just like Du Wanqiu's. From time to time, she flew to the men's table and saw several young nobles leaving the table and walking along the curve of the lake. Corridor walked away, and then encouraged Caiwei to go out for a walk to relax.

Caiwei was only thinking about how to deal with the queen later. She was not in the mood to go out for a walk, so she flatly refused.

However, Wu Xiangyun, whom he had just met, was a lively person. Seeing Caiwei's provocation, he was moved unconsciously. Anyway, the queen won't be here for a while, so she might as well take the opportunity to go shopping. After all, it's not every day that they have the opportunity to visit the Royal Garden!
