The Old Jiang Madame had always believed in Buddhism. After hearing Jiang Ruan's words, she said, "Eldest girl is right, the Jiang fu is not without consideration for others' feelings. Someone's eyes were gouged out right under your nose. In the end, it is your fault as the housekeeper's wife. Since she is only a servant, there is no harm in placing her in the courtyard. In any case, she is her person, and she can do as she pleases. "
Jiang Ruan smiled, "Thank you, zumu."
Xia Yan stared blankly for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Since Mother has said so, it would not be good for me to be meddlesome. However, what does Ruan niang want her to do after bringing her into the courtyard? Is it also to arrange for night incense to be poured?"
Jiang Ruan laughed in spite of herself, "Mother worries too much. Zhou momo is now Ruan Ju's person, so she will continue to serve as a momo."
Xia Yan's gaze flickered, "Ruan niang, you are an unmarried woman. If the momo serving you is blind, it would not be good for outsiders to see."
"Why not?" Jiang Ruan said, "In this world, not everything is based on appearances."
"Alright." The Old Jiang Madame seemed to be impatient, "Eldest girl is still young and does not need any face. It is fine as long as the servants are comfortable. It is still too early to worry about this. " She looked at Jiang Ruan's appearance and frowned, "In a few days, Assistant Minister Shen's furen is having a birthday celebration and has invited the Jiang fu's young ladies. As a mother, you should not only care about the matters of the courtyard. It is more important to buy some new clothes for eldest girl as soon as possible. Take a look at what eldest girl is wearing now. If others see it, they may say that our Jiang fu is treating the di daughter harshly. "
Ever since Jiang Ruan had returned to the fu, she had changed her clothes. She was still wearing a dark-green lined jacket. Although her appearance was bright and beautiful, even her old clothes seemed to have gained some color, when compared to Jiang Su Su, it was immediately obvious who was superior. Jiang Su Su's clothes were mostly white, and the decorations were extremely simple. At first glance, she looked simple and elegant. However, upon closer inspection, the materials used were all expensive silk and satin, and the embroidery on them were all top-notch. Although there were not many jewellery, the few simple pieces were worth a lot of money. At first glance, one could tell that a noble family had meticulously raised a good young lady with a refined temperament.
"Ruan girl's teachings are actually inferior to Li girl's. As the di mother, you should also pay attention," the Old Jiang Madame lectured.
Xia Yan said guiltily, "It's all your daughter-in-law's fault. These few days, Ruan niang will be coming back, and your daughter-in-law has forgotten about the Jiang fu's affairs. Later, your daughter-in-law will ask the tailor of Ruyi Lou to come over and take Ruan niang's measurements to make some new clothes. As the di daughter of the Jiang fu, how can she not be stylish?"
Not only did these few words indicate that she had worked hard for the Jiang fu over the past few days, but she also said that she would immediately hire a tailor. Being able to see the big picture and admit that she had made a mistake, the Old Jiang Madame's expression softened considerably. After a few more words of admonishment, Jiang Ruan and the others left the room.
Jiang Su Su called out to Jiang Ruan at the door, "Da Jiejie, don't you want to go to Su Su's courtyard for a while?"
Jiang Ruan replied, "Another day, there are still some things that have not been properly packed."
"Does Eldest Sister not like me?" Jiang Su Su was somewhat at a loss. "Did Su Su do something wrong?"
"How could this be?" Jiang Ruan's expression was somewhat astonished, and her tone became increasingly gentle, "I am your eldest di sister, and you are my younger sister. How could I not like you? Don't think too much. "
Jiang Su Su's expression was sluggish for a moment before she raised her head and said, "If Eldest Sister says so, then I am relieved. In a few days, when we go to Miss Shen's fu, I will also take good care of Eldest Sister."
After Jiang Su Su left, Lu Zhu looked at her back before saying, "Miss, why does Second Miss feel so strange?"
"What's strange?" Jiang Ruan asked.
Lu Zhu thought for a moment. "I don't know, but I just feel that she and Furen's temperament is a little too good. Just now, Miss was like that. If it were anyone else, they would have been angry, but Second Miss and Furen were all smiles and very amiable. How can there be such people in this world? Even a clay figurine has three parts of its soil."
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly. Xia Yan was educated and reasonable, while Jiang Su Su was elegant and refined. Both of their reputations were their burdens. It was destined that for the sake of their own noble appearances, they would not do anything that would be beneath their status, and would always be generous and appropriate in front of outsiders. Just now, she had repeatedly emphasized her status as the eldest di daughter. She wondered how hard it was for Jiang Su Su to hold it in? However, this was only the beginning.
Xia Yan's movements were also fast. In the afternoon, the tailor of Ruyi Lou arrived at Ruan Ju. The tailor of Ruyi Lou was a young woman named Liu Ruyi. Ruyi Lou was considered one of the best ready-made clothing stores in the capital. It specialized in making clothes for the young ladies of the capital's aristocratic families. Some time ago, the matter of the Jiang family's young lady had caused an uproar in the capital. Liu Ruyi was also very curious about this Jiang family's young lady. When she arrived at Ruan Ju, she saw the two large words on the signboard at the courtyard's entrance: Ruan Ju. It was truly imposing. The handwriting was elegant and unrestrained, like a sharp sword that had not been unsheathed, containing a faint sharpness. Liu Ruyi usually did business for wealthy families, so she was quite knowledgeable about the four treasures of the study. At this moment, when she saw this piece of calligraphy, she could not help but sigh in admiration. Ever since she had come to the capital to praise the Eighth Prince's elegant and unrestrained handwriting, she felt that the words on this signboard were not inferior.
Lian Qiao, who was leading the way, saw that Liu Ruyi kept staring at the signboard at the courtyard's entrance. She smiled and said, "This was written by my young lady."
Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "Good handwriting." It was said that seeing the handwriting was like seeing the person. Liu Ruyi also had a good impression of this Jiang family's young lady, who she had never met before.
After entering the room, Lian Qiao said, "Young Lady, Liu Gugu of Ruyi Lou has arrived."
Jiang Ruan put down the book in her hands and looked up. Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment. Even though she had seen countless beauties in the past few years, she could not help but be startled when she saw Jiang Ruan.
Jiang Ruan must have been tired from reading earlier. Her whole body leaned against the soft couch, as if her whole body had softly sunk in. When she looked up, there was a trace of unconsciously languid indolence. However, in her upturned charming eyes, there was a trace of coldness that had not yet been restrained. She was like a cold and elegant rose, with a kind of cool allure.
She smiled at Liu Ruyi, and in an instant, the coldness disappeared. She was as warm and beautiful as spring water. "Liu Gugu."
Liu Ruyi also put away the amazement in her heart. She smiled and said, "I have come to make clothes for Miss Jiang. Here are a few bolts of satin. Miss Jiang can choose one first."
There were several batches of satin on the table, all of them made of high-quality silver thread. The colors were clear after rain, fragrant autumn, honey peach, bright pink, and light yellow. All of these were the colors that young women liked. The few bolts of satin that Xia Yan had specially chosen for her were all bright and vibrant in color. It was impossible to pick out any flaws. However, if she were to wear such clothes, she would definitely become Jiang Su Su's foil. This was because the brighter the color, the more Jiang Su Su's white clothes would seem like a fluttering fairy.
Jiang Ruan pointed to a bolt of bright red satin in the middle and said, "That one."
