Chapter 636 Meeting

next day

Yan Shu was awakened by Nanny Han early in the morning. Two maids, Cui Yan and Cui Xi, followed behind Nanny Han, holding mahogany trays in their hands. One of the trays contained a set of clothes, and the other tray contained some gold and silver jewelry.

Yan Shu rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at Nanny Han and the other two.

"This is?"

Nanny Han smiled and said, "This was sent by the master of the family. He said that he wanted me to help the young lady dress up and introduce her to several masters and ladies of the eldest branch of the Cui family."

Yan Shu nodded. She was going to stay at the Cui family for a while, so she had to build good relationships with the Cui family. So she immediately threw off the quilt and got out of bed.

Nanny Han brought the new clothes on the tray to Yan Shu.

"I don't know if you like the dress that the embroiderer just brought to you. If not, I will ask them to make you a few more that you like."

Yan Shu reached out to take the dress. It was made of the finest brocade material, with exquisite workmanship and lifelike embroidery on the fabric. It was rarely seen in ordinary ready-made clothing shops.

"I like this color very much, and the size seems to fit me well."

Seeing that Yan Shu was very satisfied with the clothes, Nanny Han felt relieved and took the initiative to help Yan Shu put on the clothes.

"The toiletries are all in the outer room. I will help you wash up."

There is a hot spring below Xinghua Garden, and there is always a charcoal fire burning in the house, so the temperature indoors should be around 20 degrees Celsius above zero, so you won't feel cold even if you wear light clothes.

After Yan Shu finished washing, Nanny Han took her to sit in front of the dressing table and asked Cui Yan to put all the jewelry on the dressing table.

"These jewels are all new styles this year. The girls in the mansion like them very much. Girls, please pick a few and let's dress up today."

Yan Shu took a look at the tray. There were pearl earrings, silver earrings, a gold and agate necklace, a jade and gold hairpin, a gold-plated and kingfisher-inlaid red hairpin, and a pair of emerald green bracelets. Each piece of jewelry looked very valuable.

It was obvious that Mr. Cui prepared these things with great care, but it was really unreasonable to accept such expensive gifts for no reason.

After a moment's silence, Yan Shu said to Nanny Han, "I am already disturbing Cui's residence by staying here temporarily. I cannot accept such valuable jewelry any longer. I will keep the clothes. As for the jewelry, please return it to Nanny Han later."

Nanny Han said with embarrassment: "Miss, this is a gift from the master of the family. If you don't accept it, I'm afraid the master will be unhappy."

Yan Shu said firmly: "Send all the jewelry back first, and I will explain it to Grandpa Cui in person."

Nanny Han saw that Yan Shu really didn't want to accept the jewellery, so she didn't want to force him and had to tell Cui Yan to take the jewellery away first.

"Then I will dress the girl."

"it is good!"

Yan Shu sat upright in front of her dressing table, letting Nanny Han comb her long black hair with a wooden comb.

A fragrance passed through her fingers, and Nanny Han praised: "The girl's long hair is soft and thick. I wonder what good things she uses to wash her hair. There is a fragrance in her hair."

Cui Xi then said, "I wanted to ask this question when I was helping the young lady take a bath last night. The young lady also had this kind of fragrance after taking a bath."

Yan Shu smiled faintly. Jiang Ci said that the reason she had the floral scent on her body was because of the sachet. The scent that Cui Xi and Nanny Han were talking about should be the scented soap she used.

"I usually use a homemade scented soap to wash my hair and bathe. I'll make more when I have all the ingredients ready and give you a few to try."

Nanny Han praised her: "Young lady is really clever and skillful. Not only can she make her own sheep fat cream, she can also make her own fragrant soap."

Cui Yan said: "The young lady is so kind to us servants."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "It just so happens that you guys like it. I can make some small things to kill time when I have nothing to do."

Because Yan Shu was generous and kind, Nanny Han, Cui Xi and Cui Yan were no longer as reserved as they were yesterday. They opened up and during the dressing process, they told Yan Shu about the preferences of the masters, ladies and daughters of the Cui family.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Shu's long hair was tied up into an exquisite bun. She still wore the red hairpins and flowers that she usually wore between the buns. The whole outfit was simple and low-key. She looked calm and indifferent, without any aggressiveness. This was the effect she wanted.

"The girl looks very pretty in this outfit. Even an old woman like me is stunned by it."

Cui Yan and Cui Xi on the side also smiled and praised him, and Yan Shu smiled slightly.

She walked into the inner room and opened the wooden box she had brought with her. This was something she had bought in advance when she was about to arrive in Qinghe County. It contained some of her fine jewelry, some medicines, and other things, as well as a gift for the Cui family.

"These are gifts prepared for the ladies. You can take them with you later."

"Yes!"

After packing up, Yan Shu took Nanny Han, Cui Xi and Cui Yan out.

Seeing that the door of the next room was closed, Yan Shu asked, "When did Jiang Ci go out?"

Nanny Han replied, "The eldest son sent someone to invite Master Jiang early in the morning. I don't know where they went."

Yan Shu didn't ask any more questions and took the three of them to Luoyuxuan where the Cui family was entertaining guests.

The Cui Mansion is really huge, with pavilions, towers, and trees, and it has a very ancient Jiangnan style.

Luoyuxuan is located near the garden. It is the house often used by the Cui family for daily gatherings and entertaining guests. As soon as Yan Shu walked into the yard, he saw a black shadow flying down from the roof and landed in front of Yan Shu in the blink of an eye.

"Little idiot, you're finally here. I just went to Xinghua Garden to look for you, but I ran into Jiang Ci. When he found out I was going to see you, he refused to let me in no matter what. Humph, he's really nosy."

When talking about Jiang Ci, Xiaozhenzi looked quite disgusted.

Yan Shu smiled and looked at the young man in front of him.

"What Jiang Ci said makes sense. You are no longer a child. From now on, you can no longer enter and leave a woman's boudoir at will."

Xiao Zhenzi crossed his arms and curled his lips in disapproval.

"I am not one of you mortals..."

Yan Shu quickly reached out and covered the little town's mouth, signaling him with his eyes to stop talking nonsense.

Although Xiao Zhenzi is more than 300 years old, he has only been in human form for two short years. At heart, he is still just a simple child and has no defenses against humans. I need to take some time to have a good talk with him about this.

Xiaozhen's dark pupils turned smartly, and then he blinked at Yan Shu. Yan Shu withdrew his hand only when he saw that he understood what he meant.
