Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Yan Ci was really wrong about this matter.

The reason why Qiu Fuqiu had the confidence to say this was not because all the cosmetics shops in Dongdu were owned by her family, but because apart from hers, no one patronized other shops.

As time went by, hers was the only cosmetics shop still open in Dongdu.

Seeing Yan Ci just smiling without saying anything, Qiu Fuqiu felt that Yan Ci didn't seem to believe what she said, so she said, "Don't disbelieve me, I mean what I say, but I'm afraid no one will dare to laugh at us at this tea party."

"why?"

Qiu Fuqiu smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you go there."

As the sky gradually darkened, Qiu Fuqiu realized that she had been out for quite a while.

She immediately said goodbye to Yan Ci: "I'm going home first. My mother is waiting for me to have dinner. You must come to the tea party. I will pick you up at your house on that day. Please dress nicely."

After saying this, he ran away in a hurry.

Xie Chengyin just came back and looked at Qiu Fuqiu who ran out like the wind. He couldn't help but say, "Crazy girl."

To be honest, although he and Qiu Fuqiu always quarreled when they met, they still had a good relationship.

Moreover, compared to Xiao Yizhui, who married his brother Xie Chengyi in his previous life, he would rather marry his brother Qiu Fuqiu in this life.

At least Qiu Fuqiu wouldn't cause his brother to die in the fire.

The camellia party was supposed to be on the third day, but it started to drizzle at night on the second day and there was no sign of it stopping until the next day.

Summer rain is like this, not too big, not too small, and it can last for several days.

The nice tea party was postponed.

When the rain stopped, the weather that had been gloomy for several days finally began to clear up. The hot summer air had long been washed away by the rain, leaving only a cool and moist air.

Such weather is extremely rare in the hot summer.

Taking advantage of this rare cool weather, the day for the tea party arrived.

Yan Ci didn't have much expectation for this kind of gathering. It was just a gathering of young girls sitting together and chatting, and inevitably comparing themselves with each other.

If she had been like that before, she would definitely not have gone, but now she couldn't say for sure.

Temperament is largely determined by family background and family status.

In the past, she was the legitimate daughter of a general who guarded the country. She was loved and cared for by her father's brother, and had a cousin who was a prince. She was a true noble lady and had the capital to be willful.

But things are different now. She is only the stepdaughter of a fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and is not favored by her stepfather. She is neither a noble lady nor has anyone to back her up. Therefore, she has to consider everything before doing anything, and her temper has been restrained.

Moreover, she now needs to make friends with some noble ladies in Dongdu and get some information about Prince Xiang's Mansion from these noble ladies' circles.

Besides, Qiu Fuqiu had personally invited her and had begged her to go again and again, so she couldn't refuse.

Just go, can it be more terrifying than the battlefield? After all, she is a famous female general on the battlefield, how can she scare a group of little girls?

On the day of the tea party, Yan Ci got up very early. After a simple wash, she put on a rosy blue brocade dress. Her long hair was tied up in a bun with a jade hairpin, and a few pink pearls were pinned in her temples. The glittering pearls made Yan Ci look particularly good.

After everything was packed, Yan Ci took Chunzhi out. Chunzhi also changed into new clothes today and happily followed Yan Ci out.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a carriage parked on the side of the road.

The carriage was made entirely of golden nanmu wood, with a royal blue awning and golden tassels on all four sides. Two hollow golden balls were hung in front of the door. When the horse pulling the carriage snorted, the golden balls swayed, making a crisp tinkling sound.

Yan Ci was secretly marveling at the luxury of the carriage when he saw the curtain being lifted by a white hand, revealing Qiu Fuqiu's brightly smiling face.

"Aci, Aci, you finally came out. I've been waiting for a long time. Come up quickly."

As he spoke, he patted the seat beside him and invited Yan Ci to get in the car.

After Chunzhi helped Yan Ci get on the carriage, she and Qiu Fuqiu's maid Tongxiang followed beside the carriage.

As the carriage moved forward, the golden ball on the carriage began to jingle again.

In the car, Qiu Fuqiu was wearing a bright red wide-sleeved pleated skirt, gorgeous gold jewelry on her head, and a thin string of pearls around her neck. It was much more low-key than the one she wore during the last concubine selection, but still much more dazzling than the small pearl hairpin on Yan Ci's head.

Qiu Fuqiu looked at Yan Ci and said, "I knew you would dress so plainly, but I have prepared everything for you."

As she spoke, she pulled out a small box from under the seat behind her. It was filled with jewelry, including a complete set of gold jewelry that was even better than the one Qiu Fuqiu was wearing.

Before Yan Ci could react, Qiu Fuqiu picked up the jewelry in the box and put it on Yan Ci's head, one on the left and one on the right, until Yan Ci's head could not fit any more. Qiu Fuqiu then frowned and said regretfully: "Ah Ci, your head is too small. You can't fit any more after you put on a few."

Yan Ci touched his head and felt that it had become two points heavier. However, without a mirror, he could not see what it looked like. When he touched it with his hand, it felt like a hedgehog, with its whole head covered with it.

Qiu Fuqiu looked at her masterpiece with a look of joy but a little confusion. She had clearly seen Tongxiang putting it on her like this every day, so why was it wrong for her to do so? It looked very awkward.

She pouted, "Aci, it doesn't look right. It doesn't look good. Is it because of the jewelry?" Then she shouted outside the carriage, "Tongxiang, come up."

The carriage stopped for a moment and Tongxiang got on. When she saw Yan Ci's head full of ornaments, she immediately smiled.

"Girl, that's not how you wear hair accessories."

She guessed that the hairpins that had no aesthetic appeal on Miss Yan's head must have been made by her young lady. How could her young lady know such things? It was always her who did her young lady's makeup.

She immediately stood beside Yan Ci, took off all the gold ornaments on her head, and then put them on one by one according to the order and patterns.

After all the hairpins were put on, Tongxiang was surprised, "This set of jewelry really suits Miss Yan. Miss Yan looks so gorgeous in this outfit."

Qiu Fuqiu looked at the brand new look after being tidied up by Tongxiang, her eyes sparkling with envy and admiration.

"Sure enough, I wore it wrong. It turns out it looks better when worn this way."

Tong Xiang covered her mouth and laughed softly, then she put the last gold bracelet in the box on Yan Ci's wrist, "This is how it's complete."

Yan Ci didn’t know what she looked like now. She could only see the look in Qiu Fuqiu and Tongxiang’s eyes when they looked at her, which was full of amazement.

It really looks good.
