Cen Xiyan didn't want to satisfy Cen Xiqin's little gossip, so he put on a pretty face and wanted to give the girl a few words. Yingxue downstairs came to report that the steward's wife, Mrs. Li, came with the tailor's wife, Mrs. Cheng, and wanted to give her some money.

Cen Xiyan and Cen Xiqin made clothes by measurement.

With this interruption, Cen Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to deal with Cen Xiqin's little gossip, while Cen Xiqin felt a little regretful, but had to give up the little idea of ​​gossip for the time being.

The two of them went downstairs together and saw Li's mother and a plump woman in her forties waiting. I guess the fat woman was the tailor's wife, Mrs. Cheng.

Seeing Cen Xiyan and Cen Xiqin coming downstairs, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Cheng quickly saluted Cen Xiyan and Cen Xiqin and said hello.

"Mama Li, Mrs. Cheng is exempt from the gift." Cen Xiyan said.

Mother Li stood up, smiled at Cen Xiyan and Cen Xiqin and said: "The old lady said that in one month it will be the hairpin ceremony for Miss Six and Miss Seven, and the two ladies' dresses must be carefully prepared.

The slave then brought Mrs. Cheng over to measure her size and choose the style of clothes." After a pause, he continued: "Originally, we were going to send someone to Miss Seven, but I heard that Miss Seven was in Six.

In the lady’s yard, that’s great, the two ladies can measure the clothes and choose the look together.”

"Okay, then let's trouble Mother Li and Mrs. Cheng."

"Well, I'll choose with my sixth sister, which will save us the trouble."

Cen Xiyan and Cen Xiqin nodded in agreement.

In fact, the clothes size is mainly measured by Cen Xiyan. The other ladies in the house will buy clothes every spring, summer, autumn, winter, and important festivals. Even the ladies who have nothing to do and love to wear clothes also like to make clothes for themselves.

When buying clothes, the tailors and embroiderers raised in the mansion know the sizes and preferences of the ladies very well. Only Cen Xiyan has just returned to Cen Mansion, and the people in the mansion have some preferences for her.

I don’t know much about the information yet.

Mrs. Cheng measured the sizes for Cen Xiyan and Cen Xiqin, and then gave them a pile of ready-made clothes to choose from.

Mrs. Cheng also said with a smile: "These styles of dresses are very popular among the noble ladies in the capital recently. Most of them are spread from the palace. Those ladies and princesses naturally have the best taste.

At present, these things are only found in Beijing, but not in other places outside."

When she said this, she glanced at Cen Xiyan, and that look was a little special. Obviously, she meant what she said to Cen Xiyan, and she thought that the sixth lady had just returned to Beijing from a small place outside, so naturally

I haven't seen much of the world.

Jingshuang and Yingxue on the side turned a little dark after hearing Mrs. Cheng's words.

However, Cen Xiyan seemed not to hear the meaning of her words, with an elegant and decent smile on his face, and continued to choose clothes.

Mother Li glanced at Cen Xiyan's face, then lowered her head and said nothing.

Cen Xiqin frowned, looked at Mrs. Cheng with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Talk too much! Where is the place for you to talk nonsense here?"

Mrs. Cheng trembled when Cen Xiqin scolded her. She raised her head and glanced at Cen Xiqin secretly. Seeing that her face was darkened, she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and did not dare to speak any more.

The clothes Cen Xiqin chooses are mostly neat and convenient, which are in line with her temperament.

Mrs. Cheng was scolded by Cen Xiqin and did not dare to say anything. Mother Li looked at it and suggested: "Miss Qi, the hairpin ceremony is a big deal. It is better to dress more luxuriously. How about you choose again?"

After hearing this, Cen Xiqin curled his lips and felt a little dissatisfied, but he still listened to the advice and chose two more expensive ones.

Cen Xiyan just pointed out two sets that looked pleasing to the eye, not too low-key, but also too luxurious.

When Mother Li saw that Cen Xiyan and Cen Xiqin had chosen the clothes, she said that she would send rulers in the afternoon and let them choose clothing materials, and left with Mother Cheng.

After lunch, Mother Li brought some maids with them to bring clothes for Cen Xiyan and Cenxi Qin to choose from.

The two sisters quickly selected the clothing materials, and Mother Li left with the maid.

Before leaving, I heard from Li's mother that some of Cen Xiyan's clothes would be made within two days.

Cen Xiyan understood that it should be made on the right day of her birthday, which could be regarded as a tactful compensation for Mrs. Cen's kindness to her.

In fact, Cen Xiyan really doesn't care about these things.

Is it a birthday? In her previous life, she liked to have dinner parties, karaoke, and dance with her family and friends. She could be very high-spirited. She felt happy and happy from the bottom of her heart. Those are her special days now.

In this life, most of them were master and people close to her, as well as Jingshuang and Yingxue, and it was considered warm and happy.

But this year, she is going to spend her birthday at the Cen family. How many people really care about her and want her to have a happy birthday?

The coming-of-age ceremony for the daughter of a big family is considered to be a marriage negotiation, but it is a contribution to the family. The parents' intention for the girl's coming-of-age ceremony is not a simple blessing, but mixed with too many interests-related meanings.

Birthday, just thinking about it makes people feel boring.

But it doesn't matter. Cen Xiyan doesn't care what others think of her coming-of-age ceremony. Her fate will only be in his own hands. It's impossible for her to be submissive and accept some of the family's arrangements.

After nightfall.

Cen Xiyan was lying on the bed, just about to fall asleep, when he was suddenly startled by a slight noise on the roof and lost all sleep!

She quickly rolled over from the bed and sat up, picked up the clothes and put them on quickly, took the purple and gold flute, opened the window, and flew out!

When Cen Xiyan climbed up to the roof, there was no ghost on the roof. However, she noticed that the branches of the plum tree not far away were swaying lightly. There was no wind at the moment, so the swaying of the branches was a bit strange.

.

Cen Xiyan narrowed his eyes, raised his Dantian, and jumped onto a wall next to the plum tree.

At this moment, a black spot, as fast as a meteor, flew towards Cenxiyan!

Cen Xiyan did not dodge or use the purple gold flute to hit the oncoming thing. Instead, he quickly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, faced the thing, and held the thing firmly in his hand!

Afterwards, Cen Xiyan looked down and saw clearly what was on the veil. Her pretty face darkened and the corners of her mouth twitched.

What she held in the handkerchief wasn't anything strange, it was just a snowball!

Cen Xiyan crushed the snow ball into snow powder, sprinkled it on the ground, then pointed his toes and flew towards the direction of the snow ball again!

Cen Xiyan's Qinggong was so good that she was as graceful as a giant. In just a moment, she chased her far away from Cen's mansion, but the direction she was chasing was towards the west of the city...
