Chapter 52
Mu Yunyao carefully took out the clothing . She smiled and nodded her head, “Yes . I was worried that Lady would be unsatisfied with some parts of it, thus I specially came here earlier to show it to you, so I could use the remaining few days to make the required corrections . ”
“Haaaa, this personality of yours……”
“Lady,” the servant hurriedly entered the room, cutting off Lady Jin’s words . “Lady Chen said that she had forgotten to tell you something . She is on her way back here again . ”
Lady Jin furrowed her eyebrows . She was about to say something when she heard a bright and clear laugh sound out .
“My memory is so terrible . I actually forgot to ask you of the most important matter, I hope that Lady does not blame me . Eh? You have a guest?” A beautiful lady about the age of thirty plus entered the room . She looked to be of similar age to Lady Jin, but her figure was unable to compare with that of Lady Jin’s as Lady Chen was chubbier .
Lady Jin long had a smile plastered onto her face . “How could I not understand you? You’re always so rushed to do things, what exactly did you forget?”
“I heard that the provincial governor’s wife also really loves tea, but I don’t really know her exact likes and dislikes . I don’t want to give her something that she hates and worsen her impression of me . ” As she spoke, her gaze was, however, completely fixed on Mu Yunyao . “I also heard that you did not order your clothes from Colour Moon Shop . Instead, you asked a little miss to help you make your outfit . This must be that little miss, am I right?”
Mu Yunyao stepped forward and bowed, “Greetings to Lady . ”
“No need for the formalities . Are the clothes done? Would you mind letting me have a peek?”
Lady Jin was very unhappy with this development, but she could not show it on her face . She glanced at Mu Yunyao and gave her a very slight nod . She knew that she could not stop this .
When Lady Chen saw the clothing, which was still packaged in white silk, she secretly smirked . Lady Jin’s getting old, how could a little girl make good clothes? Of course, she would be extremely happy if Lady Jin were to be disgraced at the provincial governor’s banquet .
But, once the clothing was pulled out, Lady Chen was so shocked that she froze .
Lady Jin had already walked towards the clothing and carefully studied it . She immediately felt regret; she shouldn’t have shown this outfit to Lady Chen . There was still five to six days to the banquet . If word of this outfit goes out to the public, there will definitely be many people who will try to copy it . If it was like that, no matter how beautiful this outfit was, she will never wear it .
The mountains and rivers screen had long been sent to the Capital . Naturally, Mu Yunyao cannot use the Flying Needle technique anymore . Instead, she was currently making use of the Suzhou embroidery technique . The Suzhou embroidery technique and the Flying Needle technique have different approaches but both end up with similarly satisfactory results . With these techniques, her works seemed very lifelike . She had also did her best to make this outfit, thus both Lady Jin and Lady Chen were mesmerised by it .
Lady Chen could not stop herself from feeling jealous . What kind of luck did Lady Jin have to dig up this treasure? Lady Chen carefully memorised all the details of the clothing . Then, she did a quick farewell and left in a hurry .
The moment Lady Chen left, Lady Jin sighed . “I really like this outfit . It’s a pity that I can’t wear it, however . ” At first she had been confused, Lady Chen did not at all like Lady Jin, yet she had come today to visit her . So this was the reason! Lady Chen was waiting for Mu Yunyao!
Mu Yunyao had a perplexed look on her face,“Lady, why do you say that?”
“You are still young, you are still unaware of some things,” Lady Jin said as she caressed the lifelike peony on the clothing . “Usually, if one wanted peonies on the clothes, actual peony petals would be directly sewed onto the dress . Yet, you were able to sew out not only the petals, but even the vines, the prosperous leaves……everything . They all look so real, I can’t help but love it . But, by tomorrow, perhaps all the women in Jingling City will have peonies on their dresses . ”
“Ah, I see . Lady is worried that other people would copy my creation . But you may be rest a.s.sured, I can swear that no one will be able to copy the essence of this outfit . ”
Lady Jin froze, “Why is that?”
