"Who is this? So cool!"
Such a grand scene caused the onlookers to ask soul-searching questions.
"I don't know. Maybe she's the wife of some family?"
"She doesn't look like that. If she were any other family's lady, she would be a little too petty."
"Stop talking, it's coming out."
The thick indigo curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a beautiful woman in a pink brocade cloak walked out.
The beautiful woman was about thirty years old. She lowered her head slightly, supported the maid with one hand, and held up the hem of her rose-red brocade skirt with the other hand. She stepped on the stool and got off the carriage gracefully.
After getting off the car, she raised her head, and the onlookers could see her true face.
She was tall and slightly plump, wearing a rose-pink brocade gauze dress. She had fair skin, pretty features, and slightly round cheeks. Her every frown and smile was unconsciously charming.
What is particularly eye-catching is the gold hairpin with three-feather golden phoenix and pearls pinned on her high piled hair.
Following the beautiful woman, a plump woman got off the carriage. She was holding a pink swaddling cloth in her arms. In the swaddling cloth was a tiny, pretty baby, who was looking around curiously with a pair of black eyes open.
"Hey, let me ask you, have you ever met this lady? Which noble family's legitimate wife is she?"
"I haven't seen him before! I'm also a well-known street stalker in Beijing. I've been around the city and have seen all the ladies. This guy looks completely unfamiliar to me."
"Yes, you are right. This lady is beautiful, but the way she dresses, her features, and her aura all reveal a hint of... well, vulgarity."
"Now that you mention it, it's true. I don't know where this little family came from, but she came to pretend to be a lady. The world is so big that there are all kinds of things."
Most of these onlookers were street urchins. They had seen many noble ladies out on the street, and their eyes were very sharp.
They pointed at Lu Meimei and talked about her.
Lu Meimei curled her lips in disdain, as if she didn't hear the discussions. She placed her slender hand on the hand of a maid and walked towards the gate of Linglong Pavilion in a graceful manner.
The shopkeeper Qiao of Linglong Pavilion, with a big smile on his face, went up to greet them happily.
"Oh, Madam Xiahou, you are here. It is a great honor for us to have such a distinguished guest visit our humble inn. Please come in."
The shopkeeper Qiao smiled in a very attentive and fawning manner as he greeted Lu Meimei and walked into the gate of Linglong Pavilion.
But when he entered the store, he inadvertently winked at the waiter next to him. The waiter raised his eyebrows slightly and quietly left. Then, the shopkeeper Qiao hurriedly caught up with Lu Meimei and introduced the new jewelry in the store to her.
Lu Meimei was very satisfied with the reception that was like the moon surrounded by stars. This was exactly the effect she wanted.
She had made careful preparations for going out today, striving to steal the show on East Street as soon as she appeared, and to warm up for her future trips as the marquis's wife.
Yesterday, on the occasion of Xiahou Zixuan's full moon, Old Lady Xiahou and Xiahou Wenyuan personally promised that they would formally welcome her into the mansion in three months at the shortest and half a year at the longest, and make her the true mistress of the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion.
She had heard about the jade headpiece a few days ago, and begged Xiahou Wenyuan for a long time before Xiahou Wenyuan agreed to buy it for her. As soon as she was out of confinement, she dressed up and went out in a high-profile manner.
She had made an appointment with the shopkeeper Qiao long ago, but the annoying thing was that he did not promise to kill her, saying that the set of headgear would only be available to the highest price.
In the future, Lu Meimei will be the wife of a first-rank marquis. She has never owned such top-quality jewelry that shows off her status, so she must buy this set.
"Come, come, don't miss it if you pass by. Today is the 72nd anniversary of Linglong Pavilion. In order to give back to everyone's long-term support, the head shopkeeper will give away free silver hairpins today.
These silver hairpins were all made by the masters of Linglong Pavilion. They are exquisite and gorgeous. On weekdays, they cost two taels of silver each! Free draw today. If you miss the chance, it will be gone. Come on, free draw, free, free..."
The waiter stood on a high platform that had been prepared long ago, next to the store entrance, and shouted loudly, introducing the content of today's activities to the crowd gathered at the entrance of Linglong Pavilion.
As soon as he finished speaking, two waiters came out, each with a small ebony tray. Ten silver hairpins were neatly placed on each tray.
These silver hairpins are of excellent quality. Under the sunlight, they shine with a soft silver-white light. Against the backdrop of the ebony background, they appear even more cool and beautiful.
Not only is the quality excellent, each silver hairpin is small yet exquisite, especially the shape of the hairpin head, there is a five-petal peach blossom shape, and an exquisite ginkgo leaf shape, the workmanship is exquisite, the onlookers were so amazed that they smacked their lips and drooled, and they were eager to get them.
"Okay, okay. I want it. I want it. Hey, bro, when does the lottery start? Hurry up."
"Yes, yes, yes, don't just talk, start now, I'm so anxious."
The onlookers couldn't wait any longer and urged the young man to start quickly, as there were too many wolves and too little meat, and they were afraid that they would miss out if they were slow.
The big guy waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. He had a smile on his face, very satisfied with the performance of the onlookers, and continued.
"Everyone, don't be impatient. Listen to me. This first batch has 20 silver hairpins. We will draw them every half an hour until they are all gone. I hope you guys will tell each other and don't miss this rare opportunity. Now, the first batch of draws will begin."
"Clap clap clap clap..."
As soon as the big brother finished speaking, the people who were taking advantage of the situation applauded enthusiastically and urged the young man to hurry up.
The head waiter waved his hand behind him, and a young waiter came out from Linglong Pavilion, holding a wooden box framed with red paper. There was an opening on the top of the box that was only big enough for a hand to fit in.
"Come on, there are slips of paper in this box. Each person can only draw once. Don't be impatient. Follow the order. Whoever squeezes will be disqualified from the draw. Come on, start with the young lady on the left."
She was called a young lady, but she looked to be over 30 years old. Being called "young lady", the woman smiled happily, reached into the wooden box proudly, and took out a small paper ball.
After a while, all the wool-gathering party members present had a small paper ball in their hands, and those who were impatient opened it and took a look.
I saw that there were patterns on the paper balls, some for chicks, some for ducklings, some for peach blossoms, some for green bamboo, and so on.
"Now I declare that the person with the paper ball with green bamboo leaves painted on it is the winner."
