Ji Yu Shu's expression also slowly sank.
"Third Xie once said that no matter what, the First household of the Shen family would not be able to escape the fate of destruction." Gao Yang stopped fanning and his eyes slightly flashed, "Just like the Xie family."
…
On the second day, the weather was fine and in the side courtyard of Rong Jing Tang, Tao Yuan took out a few pieces of clothing for Jing Chu Chu to choose.
Ever since the Jing family's husband and wife came, the courtyard that Old Shen Furen previously gave to Jing Chu Chu and Younger Sister became somewhat crowded. The Jing couple entered the house and unreasonably occupied the biggest courtyard in Rong Jing Tang other than Old Shen Furen's. Other than that, they even ordered the servants in Rong Jing Tang around. If one did not know, one would think that the one staying in Rong Jing Tang was not Old Shen Furen but the Jing couple.
Jing Chu Chu sat in front of the table and carefully drew her brows in front of the bronze mirror. Every stroke of her brush was extremely serious. Her lips were pursed with a touch of rouge, and her hair was combed neatly. It was obvious that she had dressed up meticulously.
"It is that moon white one." Jing Chu Chu said. Her moon-white clothes were plain and clean, but it could better display her delicate and pitiful temperament. Today was the day that she was going to meet Sun Cai Nan. Whether or not Sun Cai Nan could not forget about her depended on this.
Perhaps it was because of a woman's vanity, or perhaps it was because she truly had some affection for Sun Cai Nan. Even though she knew that meeting Sun Cai Nan now was extremely risky, she still wanted to give it a try.
Tao Yuan put away the rest of the clothes. Someone pushed the door open and came in. It was Madam Jing.
When Jing Furen saw Jing Chu Chu's dressing, she was somewhat puzzled, "Chu Chu, you are going out?"
"I want to go out and buy some jewelry." Jing Chu Chu complied, "In the future since one will become the Young Furen of the Shen family's Second household, one cannot wear the previous jewellery as one will be looked down upon by others."
"That should be the case," Madam Jing said. Anyway Jing Chu Chu's money to buy the jewellery would be spent from the public purse, thus these days Jing Furen had also made a lot of money. Madam Jing said, "How can you go alone? I will go with you."
"No!" Jing Chu Chu quickly refused.
Madam Jing was puzzled. "Why?"
"I … I agreed to go with Miss Yi." Jing Chu Chu shook Jing Furen's hand, "In the future in the Ding capital, one must build a good relationship with these young ladies. Mother, you don't have to go. Miss Yi doesn't like to meet strangers casually. You know that these noble young ladies have strange temperaments. "
Madam Jing was a little dissatisfied, "What noble family's young lady, what's so great about it? In the future, you will still be the wife of an official. Forget it, since you want to build a good relationship, then go ahead. Bring a few more guards with you. "
"No need." Jing Chu Chu declined, "There are so many guards in the Yi family, how would it look if I bring them over. Mother, don't worry about it. When I come back, I'll buy you some jewelry. "After saying that, he continued to draw his eyebrows.
Madam Jing could only give up.
When they left the residence and boarded the carriage, Jing Chu Chu's heart was somewhat nervous as she asked Tao Yuan, "Is the restaurant that you chose reliable or not?"
"Don't worry, Miss." Tao Yuan said, "That restaurant is very far away and remote. Usually, very few people go there. Xiao Jiu is wearing a bamboo hat and her face is covered, so no one will recognize her."
Jing Chu Chu then calmed down.
The carriage passed through the Southern part of the city and finally stopped in front of a remote alley. Jing Chu Chu straightened her bamboo hat and adjusted her veil before walking towards the restaurant with Tao Yuan's support.
Even though Jing Chu Chu often wandered around with young masters when she was in SuZhou, but now her identity was different. Ming Qi's folkways were open, but for a female who already had a fiancé to meet with other males in private, it was not a small crime.
That restaurant only had two floors and was really as what Tao Yuan said, remote and deserted. The guests were in twos and threes and it was not crowded. Seeing that she came in, Tao Yuan gave the innkeeper an ingot of silver and said with a smile, "Innkeeper, where is the guest room that was booked yesterday?"
