Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Brocade Silk & Peerless Customers!
Returning to the General's Residence, Xiu Qixuan was greeted by an old servant in his indoor courtyard.
Xiu Qixuan looked around. Two servants outside came carrying a washcloth, and wiped a large wooden flower-carved board box.
Didn't stop her from entering the room. He gestured Xiao Rou to open the box.
In Xiao Rou's hand was a beautiful silk brocade. Xiu Qixuan stepped forward to take a look. He placed his hand on the patterned silk, feeling the softness of the luxury under his fingers.
The old servant on duty, spoke; "Because in three days, the bridal class will take place and you enter the palace. Madam Fan prepared a gift for you. If you like something but it is not available. Please tell me immediately!"
Welcomed a bright smile from Xiu Qixuan. She said cheerfully back; "Auntie is very considerate! Tell him, this nephew is very grateful."
The old servant sent by Xiu Lingze respectfully left and retreated as directed, he had finished his task.
Xiu Qixuan ordered all the servants to retreat and only Xiao Rou remained.
He leaned back on the long chair by closing his eyelids. The sun almost sets in the western horizon, making the atmosphere around the room bristling with a dim candlelight. The sound of her calm breathing filled the silence of the room.
"They sent these old quality silks. Not even a tailor can be hired. How rude!" Xiao Rou let out a curse of annoyance as he looked at the pile of silk dissatisfiedly. He was always dissatisfied while he was here.
Looked at the dusty box. With a pattern that looks old and the color fades a little if examined further, it is indeed a pile of brocade like it has been too long in storage and unused.
For some reason, xiu Lingze's main intention seemed to want to show her slightly disheveled dignity that in this way she told everyone that she thought of Xiu Qixuan and took the role of a mother for her to take care of basic needs woman.
From the tip of his mouth, Xiu Qixuan chuckled at Xiao Rou's hateful gaze on the innocent silk cloth. "Don't waste your energy getting angry. Besides, I have you as a dressmaker. So, none of this is going to bother us" he said

The next day...
The sun appeared from the east, its rays reflected at the end of the road, making the sky slowly shine brighter than the sparkling red jade.
Fengxuan shop was located in the center of the capital. A large building that has three floors with many hanging lanterns adorn the walls of the roof.
Fengxuan's business is growing rapidly with many new product innovations. Starting from making clothing designs that are comfortable for women, and cosmetic products that are safe to wear. It crept with elegant gold and jade jewelry designs.
They also sell a lot of strange trinkets. Like the progress of pen stationery that has refill ink. Beautiful bags are also high heels that increase the size of a person's body height. And, many scholars came to research this unique idea.
This place is always crowded with visitors. Moreover, the noble ladies who will enter the palace come crowded to make beautiful dresses.
Behind the shop building there is a pavilion that can only be accessed by the business owner and his assistant.
It seemed Xiu Qixuan was deep in his thoughts designing some useful memories. He lowered his gaze, his slender fingers stroking the hanging blue silk pattern.
He turned his head with a smooth flat smile on his face, and said; "Xiao Rou, I leave it to you. Make it simple. It was uncomfortable for me to enter the palace and attract a lot of attention."
Bridal classes will be held in advance for the ladies. After that seven days there will be an official banquet for opening remarks with the empress and the imperial concubines. And, the competition of women skills such as painting, embroidery and other— will take place for a few days after the banquet, it will end with the selected seven women winners.
Dang. Bruck..
The wind blows strong from outside. Followed by a rumbling sound that sounded from the main building of the store. It was very noisy with the screams of some people who were screaming in shock.
"I'll go out to check it out!" Xiao Rou cleared his throat skeptically, he looked unconvinced.
Prevent him from leaving when he's busy. Xiu Qixuan generously immediately moved up and said with gentle instruction: "No need. Just finish your job. Let me go out to see."
Xiao Rou nodded obediently, she was silent for a moment watching Xiu Qixuan's back go away.
Xiu Qixuan walked through the back garden towards the entrance. From a distance he saw a great mess.
"Crazy girl, get down and get on your knees!"
"Your little Majesty, you should be more generous! That was an accident!"
"After making a troublemaker and making me lose?! Sassy!"
Blarrs...
"Come down or burn somewhere around you!"
Suddenly, the fire carried by the roar of the wind grabbed the fabrics in the shop. A young man with childish behavior ignited the fire with anger. He set fire to a nearby cloth cabinet shelf that was being climbed by a young girl.
Xiu Qixuan immediately lifted her skirt and walked quickly in a hurry into the shop room.
"Customer please stop!" Xiu Qixuan said with sharp pressure.
The shopkeepers present saw his arrival slightly breathing a sigh of relief.
The young man around sixteen years old had his unique brown hair and eyes that were dressed in luxurious quality. His face was small and gentle to the size of a man.
His two dark brows were bent with a fierce look on his face. He held a burning cloth on his arm.
"Who?! Don't interfere!" He said by grinding his teeth.
"Young master, can we talk well?" Xiu Qixuan said persuadingly, he smiled tangled with a cold vibe.
The young man gave a sharp grin and said cynically; "Young master, heh? You don't know who I am?!"
Xiu Qixuan's lips puckered forming an irresistible sneer. He forgot that he had heard the name 'noble' for this young man.
One of the store employees approached and whispered lowly telling the information in his ear. "Leader. This is the ninth prince. You must be careful not to offend her."
Obtained. Xiu Qixuan took a quick glance at the girl lying face down on the shelf of the closet. "Miss, can you come down and explain to me?"
A young miss with her adorable round face stared innocently at Xiu Qixuan with her large almond eyes.
"You're the manager's employee here?" He asked doubtfully.
Xiu Qixuan only nodded back and put on a thin smile with her hands outstretched intent on helping the young lady down from the top of the closet shelf.
"I don't want to go down! He's so creepy!" The young lady whispered in a trembling voice refusing.
