Chapter 200 Showing Goodwill
Since Chunxue's accident, Yue Weiwei has stayed at home and stayed at Qingxiang Pavilion every day. In order to prevent Xiaobai from escaping, Yue Weiwei brought it with her and never left.
When the lilac wood was carved, Chengyunyuan sent its steward Wang Shu to visit Qingxiang Pavilion.
"I heard that the jewelry designed by Madam Ming is exquisite. The wife of the Grand Marshal is very pleased and wants to see your craftsmanship, so she sent me to ask you for a pattern of a hairpin!"
Yue Weiwei was overjoyed. Although the Taiwei Mansion seemed peaceful, she was often worried and in a state of panic all day long!
Now the Grand Marshal’s wife has taken the initiative to show her goodwill!
"Madame Li, pour tea for Uncle Wang."
Yue Weiwei invited the housekeeper to take a seat: "This pavilion is very well built. The weather is getting hotter, but there is a cool breeze here. It is a good place to cool off."
The housekeeper was very polite and followed her into the pavilion, where he saw the fish in the pond swimming happily.
"The fish in this pond are really lively. The Taiwei's wife also likes to raise fish. Madam Ming can walk around Chengyun Court more often and ask Madam for advice."
Yue Weiwei immediately thanked him: "Uncle Wang, I understand. I will go to visit my mother tomorrow."
The housekeeper said goodbye contentedly, and the tea poured by Nanny Li was still wafting with fragrance.
Yue Weiwei felt relieved.
"My mother took the initiative to invite me today. I'm so lucky that she still has trust in me."
Nanny Li's face suddenly turned red. "Miss, that's great. I've been living in fear these past few days. Fortunately, my son-in-law didn't cause any more trouble! The wife of the Grand Marshal also lent you a hand. She is the most forceful person in this mansion."
Yue Weiwei changed his gloomy expression and cheered up.
"Now prepare the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to design a unique hairpin for my mother."
Until night fell, Yue Weiwei stayed in the room without moving, spent dozens of sheets of paper, and finally designed a satisfactory draft.
She was so tired that her back and waist ached. She put down her pen, slumped in her chair, and smiled.
Nanny Li quickly brought a cup of tea.
"I'll go see my mother tomorrow and bring this work with me. I'll also feel out her reaction and add more details and color."
"Miss, you are very thoughtful. This pattern is very unique and rare on the market. The wife of the commander will definitely like it."
For so many days, Yue Weiwei seemed to have lost her sense of taste. Food had no flavor and tea had no taste. But now it was very different.
"Madame Li, what kind of tea did you make? It smells so good!"
With a smile in her eyes, she said, "When the lady is in a good mood, even drinking boiled water will taste sweet."
Yue Weiwei laughed and carefully put away the drawing paper.
The next day, she sat in front of the dressing table and looked at it carefully.
"Ah! Youth is really an asset. After so many days of hard work, my face looks haggard. Fortunately, my skin is in good condition. I will put on some rouge and powder today."
Changle was waiting on the side, looking her up and down, and said with a big smile: "Miss, you are naturally beautiful, and I have never seen you spend so much time on your face before. Today you are meeting the wife of the Grand Marshal, it is very important!"
"Yes, I haven't been out for several days. I feel helpless when I go out."
Changle thought for a moment.
"But I think that Miss should just make a little makeup. If she puts on heavy makeup, it will be so different from her usual self that it will only make things worse."
Changle's words awakened everyone involved.
Yue Weiwei wore light makeup as usual, only applying a little powder around her eyes to cover up her dark circles and tiredness.
Suddenly she saw the jade bracelet on her wrist in the mirror, which was given to her by the imperial concubine.
Yue Weiwei suddenly had an idea. She took off the bracelet and replaced it with the one that the wife of the Grand Marshal had given her a long time ago.
Everything was ready. She checked the drawing paper again, put it carefully into the brocade box, and set off for Chengyunyuan.
