Chapter 554

These wealthy daughters in Shangdu City hold a Hundred Flowers Conference every year, and there are also people in Wenguo’s Mansion, but in previous years, Bai Jinghong was the only one who attended, because she was the legitimate daughter.

Among the nobles of famous families, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is still very strict. The children of the main family and legitimate children generally believe that the concubine is the most unfair, and even worse than slaves. The concubine's sons and daughters are even more inferior to their faces, and they cannot catch their eyes at all, and they are not qualified to play with them.

Therefore, for many years, it has been an unwritten rule that Baihua Club only invites legitimate daughters, and every session has followed this.

But in the past two years, some families' concubine daughters have also participated, just because the organizers of the concubines have been invited to play together on weekdays. Although they are not happy, people usually give face to the organizers and do not stop them from going there.

But even so, the concubine's daughter is just a foil after all. Not to mention cooking tea, her understanding and understanding of flowers is not comparable to that of the legitimate ladies, so naturally she can't show any popularity and can only be a spectator.

This year, three young ladies in the Bai family were invited. Bai Yanyu was the first to get up. She got up before dawn and started to measure her clothes after washing. She carefully put on her new clothes, and asked the maid from time to time: "Is it good-looking? Does it fit? Will I look too high-profile in this color? Will those young ladies dislike it?"

She was very worried that the clothes were peach-colored and very gorgeous. She also chose the best yarn and hired a famous tailor to cut them. The finished product was released in just a few days.

Bai Yanyu liked it so much that this was the best-looking dress she had. And this style and material were only afforded by Bai Jinghong in the past. Although it was not as luxurious as Bai Zhenzhen's clothes, it was also full of charm. It was obvious that the noble lady from the family was not as good as a concubine.

Of course, she couldn't afford such materials and tailoring. This was what Bai Zhenzhen helped her, and it was also the money paid by Bai Zhenzhen. Although Bai Zhenzhen didn't care about this amount of money at all, Bai Yanyu remembered this kind of kindness and thought that she would definitely get rewards in the future.

The maid Lichun saw that her lady liked and was uneasy, so she quickly said, "Since it was prepared by Miss Fourth, please don't worry about wearing it. Miss Second Miss has also seen this dress, didn't it also say it looks good? It can be seen that there is nothing that cannot be worn."

"That's right, but I have never worn such good clothes. Even during the Chinese New Year, my family has never prepared such good clothes for me. I am a little embarrassed to walk in a sudden outfit."

Isn’t it true that I can’t walk? The shoes are all new, and the embroidery on the upper is added with silver wire, which is very luxurious.

"Miss, just practice more. In the future, when you interact with the second and fourth lady, there will definitely be more and more good things."

"That's right." Bai Yanyu nodded, "But we must also keep our position and duty. If we treat us well, we must not only know how to be content, but also be grateful. Beginning of the Spring Festival, remember that we must be sincere to the second and fourth lady in the future, but we must not have any bad thoughts. We cannot compete with others. Giving others is affection, and not giving them is duty. If we don't give them, we can take them. If we don't give them, we can't ask for them, do you know?"

Lichun quickly expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, Miss, I understand."

Bai Yanyu was so nervous that she couldn't sleep for a long time. Bai Zhenzhen slept until dawn. If Hong hadn't come into the house and called her, she would have put her sleep there, and the maid could not wake up even if she could.

Hongshi also had no choice but to treat her daughter, "This is the first time you attended the Hundred Flowers Festival. Even if you are not excited, you have to get up early and prepare. Don't embarrass your second sister. I saw that you didn't make a set of new clothes, so what should I wear? You can't wear them all the time, so how can you wear them?"

Bai Zhenzhen was helpless, "Mom, if I hadn't been growing, the clothes I hadn't had in my cabinet had enough clothes for ten years. What else could I do? What's wrong with my usual body? There are only dozens of pearls on my head, why can't I wear them? Besides, you don't know what the Baihua will do? I've been engaged now. If I wear them like a flower, I'll go out to show off, and then turn around and make the king of hell angry, what can I do?"

Hong Shi didn't expect this. After hearing what her daughter said, she felt that she was confused, so she didn't scream and simply said, "You can sleep as long as you like!" Then she lifted her legs and left.

However, Bai Zhenzhen still felt sleepy and had to go to the Baihua Club. Not only did she have to show off with Bai Yanyu, she also wanted to join in the fun and see what the scene was like for this noble daughter, Baihua Club, who was a nobleman in Kyoto.

Today, Bai Zhenzhen didn’t wear red, only a light yellow long skirt, but she still had pearl agate and other nagging on her head. There was no way, her clothes were not red, and there was no such nagging one. Who made her rich?

However, when she was in Nianxiyuan, she was rejected by Baihe Ran, "You dare to wear yellow flowers in the mountains. Are you afraid you are crazy? Have you learned these days in the Ge of Heaven? How many insects will you attract when you enter the mountain?"

Bai Zhenzhen really doesn’t have this common sense, but she has a trick, “Didn’t you give me a sachet to prevent mosquitoes? I’ve brought it all day long. Could it be that it’s not working in the mountains?”

Bai Heran touched his nose, "Yes, I forgot, so wear it!"

After saying that, she turned her head again and Bai Yanyu also came. Her long peach-colored dress made her little face look even more beautiful. Bai Heran had to sigh that the Bai family's genes were really good, and all the children were born beautiful. Although Lin's family was also good-looking, it would have an impact if her father's genes were poor. She couldn't help but think about Bai Xingyan's appearance after shaving, and she thought she was a tiny white face when she was young.

The two sisters didn't know what she was thinking, so they surrounded each other and asked about the Hundred Flowers Club. But Bai Heran was the first time the big girl got into the sedan chair, so the three of them went out in confusion.

Ma Pingchuan recently made a new carriage with people, and chose the best huanghuali wood with the silver given by Baiheran. He built a large carriage. If there were no crowds inside, it would be possible to sit a dozen people. Even if it was spacious, it would be fine to sit seven or eight.

The layout of the carriage is even more delicate, so there is no need to mention the tables. What is thoughtful is that corner cabinets are built in all four corners, and the corner cabinets are divided into multiple layers. One of the two cabinets next to the door contains two sets of teapots, tea bowls, tea jars, and snacks and fruits prepared every time you go out. The other corner cabinet contains a few oil paper umbrellas and rain ponchos.

The two cabinets inside were equipped with dressing boxes for girls, and the other was filled with two sets of brand new clothes.

The clothes were naturally dyed by white cranes. After the carriage was finished, the carriage told Yingchun about the purpose. Yingchun thought that the new carriage was really practical. If there was an emergency, I needed to change my clothes, wouldn’t it be possible to change it in the car? So I quickly chose two sets of spare clothes from the house to put them in case of emergency needs. Even the makeup box was filled and a few pieces of jewelry were placed.

That's how this car is extremely expensive and you have to look forward to it. But if you think about it now, you feel at ease.

In addition, the windows in the car are also very exquisite. It is not like when I used to only hang curtains, but this time I installed a small window, which can be pushed outwards, and the curtains are inside, just like the living room.

There is also a secret lattice under the seat, which can store many things. Yingchun even put a brand new night incense bucket inside.

Such a car has a certain weight, and if you want to pull more people, it is not enough to specify a horse.

Ma Pingchuan took three horses this time, all of which were good horses he tamed, and even the saddles were replaced. The three horses were shiny in color, one black, one brown and one white, which was very beautiful. Three horses were driving a cart, and even a few thousand pounds were weighing no problem, and Ma Pingchuan was very proud of traveling hundreds of miles a day.

When the white crane arrived, the car was very satisfied from the outside. Although it was made of yellow rosewood, it was not painted very brightly. If it was not bright, it would not be dazzling, and if it was not dazzling, it would not attract wind. In addition to these three horses being more conspicuous, the others could be considered low-key luxury.

But when I got on the car, I was stunned. Not only was there a big night pearl hanging on the top of the car, but there were also many gems embedded in the four walls, which looked a bit like Bai Zhenzhen's clothes.

She turned her suspicious eyes to Bai Zhenzhen, and Bai Zhenzhen quickly raised her hand and sweared: "It's not what I did. I don't know that you have hit a new car. Besides, if I did it, there will definitely be more gems in it than now. Although this car has my style, it is not entirely my vision. I may cover it with beads."

Bai Heran touched his forehead and couldn't play with the rich.

Ma Pingchuan was very proud, "Miss is famous and famous. She is too extravagant to be told, so the car cannot see the way from outside. Only by entering the car can you see these."

Bai Heran sat down and touched the table made of jade and asked Ma Pingchuan: "I only gave you three hundred taels of silver to make a new carriage. How did you spend three hundred taels of money to achieve this effect?"

Ma Pingchuan laughed dryly, "Thirty hundred taels are not enough. In fact, 300 taels are not enough for this. In fact, 300 taels are not spent on a single penny, and they are still in the servant's pocket! When I was looking for someone to get a carriage, I saw His Highness Ten. When I heard that the servant was going to get a carriage for the lady, His Highness Ten drove the slave back. He said that he had already prepared to get off the other end, but he had not yet started work, so he didn't tell you. Now, I finally got a job yesterday, so I quickly sent someone to send him here."

Bai Heran felt helpless when he heard this, okay, that unlucky person actually did such a big thing silently. This carriage, the materials, these pearls, gems and jade, how much money does it cost? A prodigal thing!

Bai Yanyu is even more novel. She looks left and right, and her mouth can't be closed.
