Xiao Jinyan curled his lips silently opposite Xie Youwei.
"Ms. Xie, how do you think it compares to last time?"
Xie Youwei picked up the tea cup, took another sip, then put the tea cup down respectfully, turned her head towards the window, pretending to be cold and arrogant, and spoke.
"Just like that, so-so."
After all, Xie Youwei has never experienced any real palace battles. Whether it was in the Xie Mansion or her maternal grandfather's house in Suzhou, Xie Youwei was always a child who grew up being pampered by thousands of beauties.
What's more, the tutors in the Xie family and Suzhou's maternal family are very strict, and there are no fights in the back house.
Even though Xie Youwei had the skills of two lifetimes, he could control his emotions better than Xie Nianzhu who grew up in the same environment, but in the end he still couldn't hide it from the eyes of the commander Xiao Jinyan.
Xiao Jinyan looked at the awkward expression on Xie Youwei's face and just smiled. He didn't say anything more. He just nodded lightly and agreed with Xie Youwei's evaluation of himself.
"I will continue to work hard next time and strive to satisfy Miss Xie one day."
Xie You pursed her lips slightly, thinking that today Chu Qin brought her out again, gave up the opportunity to make a lot of money and left Biluo Pavilion to let her come here to watch the oiran tour, and brought out such good tea.
After all, he didn't have the nerve to continue his previous attitude, so he just nodded lukewarmly.
Then he took another sip of tea from the teacup.
Xiao Jinyan didn't say anything more, he just made himself a cup of tea, sat opposite Xie Youwei and started drinking tea leisurely.
"It is said that the jewelry worn by the oiran was designed by a little-known designer Xie Ning, and was made by craftsmen from a shop called Yuanyang Hairpin in the capital. I didn't go to the game that day, and I didn't even watch it.
How was your reputation after being praised by everyone in the capital? I heard that Miss Xie went there, can you tell me?"
Xiao Jinyan started talking.
Hearing Xiao Jinyan talk about his work, Xie Youwei's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, I saw it that day. It was really beautiful! The designers and craftsmen were so amazing!"
Xie Youwei kept praising herself without blushing or heartbeat.
After that day, many people went to the Yuanyang Hairpin to find out who designed the head and face of the Yuanyang Hairpin. Lin Qi did not ask for any work. He had discussed this subject with Xie Youwei before, and simply reported it when people asked.
The pseudonym "Xie Ning" given by Xie Youwei.
In the past few days, the name Xie Ning has swept the entire capital, causing everyone in the capital to guess who the person who designed such a wonderful work is.
Xie Youwei had nothing to do these two days, so he sent Xicui out to find out what people outside were saying about him, so Quan thought it was to relieve his boredom.
Chu Qin naturally didn't know that Xie Ning was her, so she felt free to brag about her rainbow fart here.
Under the mask, Xiao Jinyan couldn't help laughing.
Of course Chu Qin doesn't know who Xie Ning is, but Xiao Jinyan does.
Xiao Jinyan silently watched the woman sitting opposite her beaming and praising herself.
Xiao Jinyan didn't talk much and was a very qualified listener. He listened carefully to Xie Youwei's speech and nodded at the appropriate time.
This undoubtedly made Xie Youwei, the confidant, very happy.
After boasting about his vest number from beginning to end, Xie Youwei finally stopped talking.
After talking for so long, Xie Youwei inevitably felt a little dry, so she took another sip of tea.
The tea cup is not big at all, but it is important to have a few but fine ones. After a few mouthfuls, the tea cup has already reached its bottom.
Xie Youwei put down the empty tea cup, with a trace of imperceptible loss in her eyes.
Xiao Jinyan seemed not to notice, just looked at Xie You and smiled, with no intention of taking action.
Fortunately, the oiran tour was about to start, attracting all of Xie Youwei's attention.
Because the window was open, Xie Youwei could hear what the people below said.
At this moment, the people guarding near Xiang Lake began to become restless.
There were too many people talking, and the voices were very noisy. Xie Youwei could only vaguely hear a few words.
It probably means that the Oiran tour is about to start, and Yazhu will be here soon.
Xie Youwei's eyes lit up, he stood up from his seat, walked to the window, leaned out half of his body, and looked outside with excitement.
Xiao Jinyan also stood up, stood beside Xie Youwei, and leaned against the window.
There was a smile in Xiao Jinyan's eyes, but his eyes were not focused on the direction of the oiran who was about to approach, but on the profile of the excited little girl who was so close.
Xie You smiled happily.
She had never laughed so happily with him.
This is the first time.
Xie Youwei didn't notice Xiao Jinyan's gaze. Now all of Xie Youwei's attention was in the same direction as the group of people below.
Even though the sound was noisy, Xie Youwei still heard the sound of gongs and drums over there.
In order to make the people in the front give way and make way for them, someone was always in charge of beating gongs and drums in front of the touring courtesan's stage to remind the people.
Soon, Xie Youwei saw it.
It was a very high sedan chair, more like a chariot than a sedan chair.
A luxurious tour platform was built out of red wood, and on the top of the platform stood the much-anticipated Yazhu.
Today, Yazhu was wearing a red suit, with something thinly embroidered with gold thread on it.
The distance was a bit too far for Xie Youwei to see clearly.
But based on the information provided by Xie Lianzhu in the past two days, she remembered that the embroidery on Yazhu's clothes today was embroidered by Mei Zhener.
Mei Zhener is a hard-working person, but her embroidery skills are really nothing to say.
It is said that as soon as Mrs. Xu saw Mei Zhen'er's work, she immediately stopped making the oiran clothes and hired Mei Zhen'er to do the embroidery herself with a huge sum of money.
After all, this is the biggest event in Hua Cai Lou in so many years, so Mother Xu naturally wants to keep improving.
That face is so beautiful, wouldn't it look very inappropriate if the clothes were ordinary?
Mei Zhener's craftsmanship was really good. Although Xie Youwei couldn't see clearly, he could hear the noise of discussions among the people around him.
Many people are praising Yazhu's beautiful clothes today.
Next, the one who was praised was the set of masks designed by Xie Youwei himself.
The head and face complement the beauty, and the beauty also complements the head and face.
Originally, that set of clothes had already made many people marvel at its beauty, but now it was brought to Yazhu's body to complement each other.
Yazhu's beauty adds color to that set of hair and face.
Yazhu was getting closer and closer to Xie Youwei, and Xie Youwei could see Yazhu's appearance clearly bit by bit.
