Sword One was surprised. She even suspected that she had heard something wrong – since when did Elder Miss start to care about what clothes she was going to wear?
Elder Miss was the most easily-served employer. Most of the ladies in the capital, including those from small mansions to those from noble families, would always care a great deal about the cosmetics they used and the food they ate. They were all living a very exquisite life.
On the other hand, her Elder Miss was always dressed in plain-colored clothes, and she had almost no ornaments in her hair. She did not even care about the food she ate, as long as she had tea and pastry. She was not particular, especially in the aspect of clothes.
She was always dressed casually.
So what made her think about the clothes she was going to wear today?
Sword One looked shocked.
At Sword One’s slow reaction, Gu Chaoyan turned around and saw the surprise on her face. Sword One looked totally unconvinced.
She explained helplessly, “It is Madame Min’s birthday banquet, and we can’t go dressed in plain-colored clothes. We need to get dressed up on this festive day.”
“…”
“I barely attend any banquets, so I can’t tell which clothes to wear. Qing has barely been to any banquet either, after spending so much time with me at the mansion, so she has no idea what to wear either. You must have a better knowledge about this, don’t you?”
“…”
“Some more festive clothes, but not extravagant. We are there to pass on congratulations,” Gu Chaoyan said.
These two girls had constantly reminded her that she should get better dressed to make herself prettier than Gu Ruxue. So she was worried that they would have the same idea this time, so she reminded them.
She had been to the Min Family before. She had not yet gotten to know people from the Min Family better, but she had heard about them.
The Min Family was a real noble family and they knew the rules. She did not want to make any mistakes at the Min Family, since Huaijin was going to take the throne, and she needed to make sure that the Min Family would be in a peaceful relationship with them.
Therefore, she was quite devoted to Madame Min’s banquet.
She hoped that the result would be good.
Sword One instantly understood what she meant.
She thought for a while. She had a good knowledge of the manners in the capital, but she hoped that Elder Miss could be nicely and properly dressed.
She had no way to help her, but Shadow Door could do that for her.
Sword One said, “Elder Miss, please, leave this to Lord Huai, he can arrange it well, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while and realized that it had always been Huaijin who had her clothes delivered, and all of them were very appropriate.
It was a very good thing that he took it over.
She nodded and closed the wardrobe, feeling relieved and then went to sit down.
She found picking out something to wear a very painstaking task.
“Sword One, you can pass on the message now,” Gu Chaoyan said, relaxedly.
Sword One left with a smile.
***
Two days later.
It was time for Xie Yan to leave the mansion. He had no luggage except for one change of clothes.
