Chapter 4 Family Banquet
"Sister Zhaoyan is so beautiful. No wonder she doesn't like to dress up on weekdays, but she has become famous even without singing." Xue Youling praised softly, even her voice became sweet.
Ye Zhaoyan just pretended not to understand the strong sarcasm in her tone, and said sincerely: "The jewelry my sister chose is good, but my sister is not suitable to wear these. It is a person like my sister who is suitable for such gorgeous jewelry."
"Haha, what did my sister say..." Xue Youling was a little embarrassed, unable to tell whether Ye Zhaoyan was serious or deliberately sarcastic.
In her impression, Ye Zhaoyan was naive, stupid, and very easy to fool.
"This hairpin looks very unique." Xue Zhiyan suddenly said. "Although the style is not fashionable, it is still somewhat interesting."
After saying that, he picked up a Tianbaopanyi hairpin at will and put it on Xue Youling's head.
Ye Zhaoyan's eyelashes trembled and he smiled silently.
This hairpin looks ordinary, but the material is very expensive. There are only two of them in the whole brocade, and the other one is with the Lord of Rongan County.
Xue Youling had known the name of this hairpin for a long time, but she couldn't find an excuse to "borrow" it. She naturally knew that the current Lord of Rongan County, who loved luxury most, wore such a unique and unique hairpin in his daily wear.
"It's indeed good, but it's too shabby to match sister Zhaoyan." Xue Youling agreed, feeling anxious.
On weekdays, Ye Zhaoyan would ask them what they would try on without them having to ask, and then they would "borrow" it in the name of attending a banquet. Today was really unusual.
Just when she was neither wearing it nor taking it off, and the hairpin on her head was about to become a hot potato, Ye Zhaoyan turned around and said with a smile: "My sister wears it so well."
"Then sister, can I part with my love and borrow it for a few days?"
"What are you talking about? There is no need to be polite between sisters."
Seeing Ye Zhaoyan's imprudent tone, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Zhiyan took the opportunity to step forward and choose a gold and mud Ruyi moire skirt for Ye Zhaoyan. She said in a rare and flattering tone: "My sister is full of pearls and emeralds, but the Suzhou embroidery pleated satin skirt is not suitable. This skirt is gorgeous and most suitable for my sister."
temperament."
"Sister, I have a very good taste. I'd like to ask you two sisters to worry about me." Ye Zhaoyan responded with a smile.
"You and I, sisters, are dependent on each other and it's our duty to help each other."
Ying'er, who was squeezed to the side, curled her lips in grievance. Such colors and fabrics, coupled with the jewelry on the eldest lady's body, made her look like a vulgar bride. But she knew very well that these two people had a domineering and petty past, so she only dared to
I complained in my heart and secretly cursed these two aunts for being disgusting.
Xue Youling was secretly happy when she saw this. It seemed that Ye Zhaoyan didn't find anything wrong with this dress, so he couldn't help but add jealousy: "Sister Zhaoyan's outfit is really outstanding, it makes us all look pale."
Seeing Xue Youling's exaggerated expression, Xue Zhiyan couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister, I have no choice but to do this. I didn't expect it to be self-defeating."
Ye Zhaoyan smiled and said nothing, quietly watching the two of them acting.
Xue Youling added: "Sister, this Suzhou embroidered Yuehua pleated satin skirt is indeed not suitable for sister Zhaoyan, but it is consistent with sister Zhiyan's style."
Ye Zhaoyan felt a little bored watching them singing together.
"Sister Zhiyan, please try on these clothes for me."
"This..." Xue Zhiyan hesitated.
Does this mean letting her "borrow" it?
She indeed coveted Ye Zhaoyan's clothes, not only because she had never seen the clothes she was wearing, both in fabric and style, but also because the clothes were originally made by her uncle Xue Huaidan according to her figure.
Although Ye Zhaoyan was one year younger than her, she was as tall as she was. When Xue Huaidan ordered the embroiderer to make this dress, Ye Zhaoyan was not in Jindu, and it was Xue Zhiyan who made it for her.
"Sister, it's hard to refuse sister Zhaoyan's kindness, just accept it!" Xue Youling saw Xue Zhiyan's hesitation and immediately dissuaded her.
Xue Zhiyan gritted her teeth and finally nodded.
Ye Zhaoyan hasn't finished dressing up here, but the front hall is already busy because of the dinner party.
The Xue sisters were accustomed to being in the limelight, so they found an excuse to leave Ye Zhaoyan early.
Xue Huaidan brought Ye Fu back, and Mrs. Xue sat at the top. On their left were Xue Zhiyan, Xue Youling and Mrs. Qin, and on their right were Ye Zhaochen and Ye Zhaoyu.
Xue Youling was talking and laughing sweetly with her head held high, feeling proud of the praise she received for the hairpin on her head.
Tonight, the two most outstanding cousins of the Ye family were present, so she had to perform even better.
When she thought of Ye Zhaoyan's rustic dress, the smile on her lips became even brighter.
Someone shouted "The eldest lady is here", and the slightly lively main hall fell silent for an instant.
Everyone looked at the door and saw a girl with a peach-like face walking slowly. Her long black hair was pulled up high with a ruby crown, revealing her slender white neck. Ye Zhaoyan wore a long green dress with a tie around her waist.
Wearing a lavender belt, it looks exquisite and elegant. The hem of the skirt is embroidered with complicated patterns, and it flickers in the wind and shines under the candlelight.
Xue Youling saw Ye Zhaoyan at a glance, his eyes full of disbelief.
The others also looked over.
When Ye Zhaochen saw Ye Zhaoyan, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
This appearance is actually 50% similar to Xue Zhiyan's, and she also has her own unique heroic appearance.
When Xue Zhiyan saw Ye Zhaoyan's attire, her face suddenly darkened. She felt like her throat was being strangled, making it difficult for her to breathe smoothly. She never thought that Ye Zhaoyan, who had always been in military uniform, would actually wear something like this.
The feminine dress, and the face was made up similar to hers, but it was even more stunning than hers.
There was more or less a bit of shock in the eyes of the rest of the people.
Only Xue Huaidan, the father, had deep and unpredictable eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Ye Zhaoyan stood still and saluted gracefully, with an elegant and generous posture.
Although she doesn't like wearing these jewelry, this outfit suits her look very well.
"Father, mother, grandmother, cousins, Zhaoyan is late, please forgive me."
Ye Fugui hurriedly helped Ye Zhaoyan up and praised happily: "My Zhao'er has grown up."
"Zhaoyan has just recovered from a serious illness. It's understandable that he came late. Take a seat." Xue Huaidan said in a cheerful tone, as if the person with the gloomy face just now was not him.
"Zhaoyan, thank you for your concern," Ye Zhaoyan said.
Mrs. Xue couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction when she saw that Ye Zhaoyan was neatly dressed and looked carefully groomed.
She is a very face-conscious person and likes to dress up gorgeously and exquisitely.
"Zhaoyan is very beautiful today." Ye Zhaochen said sincerely.
Hearing this, Xue Zhiyan's eyes flashed with disappointment. She has always been the most outstanding girl in the Xue family, and she was the most popular in the Ye family. If it weren't for Ye Zhaoyan's distinguished name in the past, it was Xue Zhiyan who was most praised by outsiders when they mentioned the Ye family.
