Chapter Thirty-Six Each Has Its Own Merits

  "It's the big red one that girls like the most." A matter-of-fact reply from the mandarin duck.

  "Who said my favorite color is bright red?" Qing Jin asked in puzzlement.

  "Isn't it? Most girls' clothes are mostly bright red, and she's never said she didn't like them!"

  When Qing Jin heard Yuanyang's words, she was taken aback and began to think about when red had become her favorite color. Ah yes, it seemed to be after she had crossed over and became the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Hou's household. With her delicate features and wearing a bright red dress, not only did it symbolize her status but also gave off a fiery passion. So in her previous life, she loved wearing red clothes the most. After marrying Long Hanshan, as a concubine, she couldn't wear bright red, so she put away all her red clothes, yet became even more fixated on the color red. Unable to wear bright red, she leaned towards pink, peach red, and rose red instead.

  After rebirth, perhaps due to the regret of not being able to wear bright red in her previous life, she had a deeper affection for it. When did this start, even she couldn't remember. In fact, she wasn't originally fond of bright red either.

  In an era where people can wear clothes of various colors, red was not her favorite color either. At first, she liked wearing red because it could set off her temperament better. However, one day someone told her that she couldn't wear bright red anymore, so she started to be obsessed with red in her bones. Because she couldn't wear it, she became fixated on it. Unconsciously, she leaned towards bright red. Originally, she had forgotten that her favorite color wasn't actually bright red!

  "Miss, come try on the new clothes I just made!"

  "Still red, I suppose!"

  "Really!" The mandarin duck's eyebrows opened with a smile, thinking that the girl didn't like red just now, but it seems that the girl still likes it very much!

  Seeing Yuanyang's smiling face, Qingjin gave her a glance and stood up. "Come on, help this young lady change clothes!"

  "Yes, ma'am!" Yuanyang pretended to be serious and curtsied, then walked over with measured steps and helped Qingjin put on the newly made clothes. The bright red wide-sleeved robe with a long skirt that trailed on the ground had an embroidered pattern of flowers at the neckline, cuffs, and hem that Yuanyang had never seen before, and it suited Qingjin perfectly, making her look even more beautiful and elegant.

  In three years' time, Qing Jin's slightly immature beauty had fully blossomed, and under the reflection of this fiery red silk dress, her beauty was even more stunning.

  The mandarin duck, who was still smiling, suddenly froze and didn't come back to her senses until half a moment later. "Miss, what kind of flower is embroidered on this skirt? It looks strange and beautiful, I think the mandarin duck has never seen it before." The mandarin duck couldn't help but ask out loud.

  "The name of this flower is Manzushage, also known as Higanbana......" Qingjin gently stroked the sleeve mouth of the flower, facing the swan's faint opening, and when she said this, her thoughts also drifted to somewhere unknown.

  "Manzushage, that's a nice name, and the flower is beautiful too." Yuanyang said, looking at Qingjin's new dress.

  "Hmm..."

  "Right, Miss, wear this one when you go out with the girls in the afternoon! It's really beautiful." Yuanyang continued Qingjin's words.

  "Go out?"

  "Yes, didn't Old Madam agree to let a few girls go out for a stroll today?" Yuanyang looked at Qingjin.

  "Oh, I forgot." Qingjin said casually.

  "Miss, is there something wrong with you? The mandarin duck saw that the miss was always distracted." It seemed like the miss had been like this since yesterday, and the mandarin duck finally couldn't help but ask.

  Qing Jin turned around, "What did you just say?"

  The girl's inquiry was clearly a gesture of not knowing what to say, and Yuanyang, who had been following Qingjin for three years, knew her habit, so she slightly bowed and stood aside.

  Qing Jin saw that the mandarin ducks were not in action, so she turned around and stood in front of the copper mirror, looking at the delicate and beautiful girl in the mirror. Her charming face was reflected in the mirror, and her mouth slightly raised, making her lovely face look even more radiant and vibrant. Against the backdrop of a red dress, her beauty shone even brighter, stunning and captivating.

  If she wasn't mistaken, it was during this period that she first met Long Han Yuan on the street. She didn't know whether she should go out or not, and her desire to do so wasn't because she still had lingering feelings for Long Han Yuan. At the moment she chose to burn her past life's emotions, all her love for him had been abandoned. Going out was just to confirm some things that she had never noticed in her previous life. Thinking of this, Gu Qing Jin made up her mind.

  On the other side, Qingyao, who was dressed up and made up, looked at herself carefully in the mirror. The three years had also turned the once chubby and lovely girl into a beautiful and moving young woman. Her elegant face, gentle and kind temperament, and pure beauty were different from Gu Qingyan's stunning beauty. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with an even more captivating charm.

  "The girl is getting more and more beautiful." The green tea beside her couldn't help but praise.

  Gu Qingyao's face in the mirror turned slightly red under the praise of Lu Cha, "No way, the most beautiful one in the manor should be Second Sister."

  "It's not, the beauty of the young lady and the second young lady are completely different. Compared to each other, everyone still likes the beauty of the young lady, the second young lady is beautiful but her beauty has fallen into a common pattern, unlike the young lady who is pleasing to the eye."

  "Green tea, you're really too bold, even daring to fabricate things about Second Sister. Second Sister is naturally beautiful and elegant, how could she be like what you said? Don't ever say such words again in the future."

  "The young lady is redeeming herself, I know that the young lady is doing this for my own good, but I still think that the young lady is more pleasing to the eye than the second young lady."

  "Alright, since you can talk, perhaps Second Sister and the others are already waiting, hurry up and change your clothes!"

  "Yes."

  Luocha brought out a set of white undergarments and thought to herself, "This seems to be newly made?" Qingyao saw the clothes in Luocha's hands through the mirror, "Huh, when was this made?"

  Luocha flipped through the clothes in her hand and said, "This dress seems to have been sent over by Second Miss a few days ago. Do you want me to change into another one?"

  "It's fine, just wear this one." This was what the second sister said while chatting with her grandmother that day. Coincidentally, the Flowing Cloud Pavilion had sent over a set of clothes made by the second sister for her grandmother. The second sister was in a good mood and let her sisters each choose a set, and she chose her favorite white one.

  "That green tea will help the girl put it on." Upon hearing Qing Yao's words, Green Tea quickly changed into her clothes with nimble hands and feet.

  The white flowing Hanfu long skirt on Qingyao's body shows more warm and beautiful, and adds a few more elegant and holy atmosphere. The green tea next to her can't help but speak out when she sees Qingyao wearing the long skirt, "Second Miss Liuyun Pavilion's clothes are really beautiful, you're even more beautiful than before!"
