The Female Supporting Role Shows Out Chapter 85

Published at 8th of July 2022 05:56:14 AM

Today, the believers of the Faxing Temple were gathered, and it was very lively. The Buddhist hall outside was filled with ordinary people who came to pray, and the Great Buddha's Hall and the back garden were a place for important people to rest. Many young talents and famous ladies were gathered under the ginkgo tree to talk about poems and paintings.

To stand out, the talents would talk to each other and display their literary talent; The ladies were all dressed up elegantly. Although they were sitting on both ends of the table, their eyes met from time to time. Some of them lowered their heads shyly, and some smiled brightly. Every move of them was full of affection.

Among all the talented ladies, Li Ran's sons and daughters born from his wife were naturally the most outstanding and the focus of everyone's attention. As the governor of the imperial city and the brother of Concubine Min, Li Ran's official career was not limited to the whole Jiangzhe. Maybe a few years later, when the ninth prince grew up, he would be transferred to the capital city as an official and have a meteoric rise.

With such a strong background, Li Jianrong and Li Xiudian were naturally the people who were flattered.

At this moment, Li Jiarong was sitting under a ginkgo tree and drinking tea from time to time. Her beautiful eyes glanced at the young talents who were talking happily. She was beautiful and graceful, so she was naturally very popular. Eighty or ninety percent of talents could not help but glance at her, and then looked away, pretending to be fine.

Catching another man who was peeping at her, Li Jiarong covered her mouth with her hand and smiled proudly.

“Sister Li, the dress you are wearing is so beautiful. I'm attracted by it! These hibiscus flowers were elegant and enchanting, and each of them was unique in charm and beauty. It was really a masterpiece! If an ordinary woman wore this dress, she would be crushed by these beautiful hibiscus flowers. But you are different. You are so beautiful that no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will be your foil. “A noblewoman praised sincerely.

Next to a few people quickly echoed, praised Li Jiarong as peerless

Li Jiarong held her hand with a smile and said, “Don't praise me. Sisi embroidered this dress for me. If I have seven beauty, then five of them must be from her hands.”(Note: Full mark is 10. She said she had seven beauty to be modest.)

Sitting next to her, Meng Si smiled shyly and gently, without saying anything.

To please Li Jiarong, all the ladies praised Meng Si too and said that they would never go to other embroidery shops to buy clothes in the future and would only go to the Meng's store.

Someone cut in, “Well, do you think Du Ruyan will come today?”

Li Jiarong stopped smiling and looked at the woman coldly. Another person quickly added, “How could she come? Did she dare to come? I've heard that she has been looking for precious cloth and good embroiderers in the city these days. However, with her background, which good embroiderer would like to make clothes? It's pathetic that she still doesn't want to see the reality in such a situation. “

“That's right. No matter how much money she has, she can't buy the silk we wear. She will make a fool of herself even if she comes. So why did she come? I guess she is crying at home! “As soon as the woman finished speaking, everyone covered their mouths and chuckled, with a look of schadenfreude in their eyes.

Li Jiarong's face softened. She pretended to be magnanimous and said, “Since she has come to this point, you'd better keep your words. Don't laugh at her anymore.”

At that time, as the most beautiful lady in the capital, Du Ruoyan was always better than Li Jiarong. Li Jiarong was narrow-minded and jealous. On the one hand, she cursed Du Ruoyan; on the other hand, she swore in her heart, when her family gets powerful one day, she will trample on them and crush them into ashes! Now that her wish had been realized, she was naturally happy, but she had to show her magnanimity in front of the many talents.

Hearing her words, the ladies nodded in agreement and pretended to sympathize with Du Ruyan.

While the ladies were chatting happily, the young talents all turned their heads to look at the entrance of the garden. First, they were amazed, then they were obsessed deeply. A woman was slowly walking in. She was wearing a long strapless dress, and the fabric of the dress was made into vertical folds with a hot copper pot. They had gathered together again, and a young yellow silk ribbon was inserted into a bowknot-like collar, tying it around the girl's slender neck. Every step she took, the hemline of her dress rose layers of waves, like petals blooming under her feet.

She didn't wear a belt. The snow-white chiffon fabric naturally fell down along her beautiful body curve, but it was more graceful than wearing a belt. This wave-like dress was unique and attractive, but what was more beautiful was the robe she was wearing outside.

The robe was made of transparent cicada wings gauze, which was not as smooth as the silk fabric, but more elegant and straight. Some embroiderers embroidered the cicada wings gauze with gold and silver threads, one by one, which was dotted with ginkgo leaves. From the round shoulder to the flying hem, the ginkgo leaves were embroidered more and more densely, until they were covered with a bright golden color. The girl stepped on the golden leaves all over the ground, and the end of her robe gently covered the leaves. The two merged together as if they were made by god.

The girl stood there like a fairy born from the fallen leaves, flawless and beautiful.

The girl walked slowly. A gust of autumn wind lifted up the hem of her dress and lifted up her blouse, making everyone look straight at her. The pleated skirt was not a single layer, but five or six layers of pure white chiffon were intertwined together, and no strange thing could be seen when walking. However, when the wind blew gently five or six layers of chiffon into a blooming white lotus, the beautiful and elegant scene could only be described as Soul Eater. Her robe was stirred by the wind and gently flew in the air. The ginkgo leaves embroidered on it also swayed in many ways as if countless leaves were circling around the girl. They were swept and pulled by the wind, unwilling to leave her side.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

The girl stood under a tree, covered in golden leaves. She was like the goddess that had been transformed from the ancient tree for a thousand years.

She walked to a corner with the least crowd, gently lifted up her robe, and sat down elegantly, with an indescribable charm in every move. When she completely turned around and revealed her beautiful face, the talents had completely lost the ability to think.

It was a rare visual enjoyment to see beautiful scenery, clothes, and girl. What was more amazing was that the three of them were still so integrated into one place. It was hard to tell whether the beauty turned into beauty or was set off by a beauty.

The lively poetry party became silent because of the arrival of the young girl. Many men held their breath, afraid of disturbing the goddess.

“Her skirt full of wrinkles is so beautiful, and the blouse embroidered with ginkgo leaves is so beautiful!” Another noblewoman couldn't help telling the truth.

Li Jiarong had no time to care about her manners. Her beautiful face twisted slightly, showing jealousy and hatred. She put down the teacup with a loud bang. When she was about to stand up to look for a fight, she was stopped by Meng Si, who pressed her shoulder.

“The design of the robe is ingenious, but what is not unusual,” Meng Si said, “You can take a closer look and find that the ginkgo leaves are all embroidered with very simple flat needles. Any apprentice in Meng's embroidering house can make the same clothes. Even if I give you such a cheap thing for free, you won't wear it. Why do you care? “

“You're right. It's just a few leaves. Who can't embroider? Du Ruyan couldn't get the top embroiderers, so she had to make do with it. “The noble girl sitting next to her immediately persuaded.

Li Jiarong took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Unlike Du Ruyan, who was arrogant, domineering, and had a bad reputation, she was a first-class lady in Ling'an Prefecture. Everyone knew her gentle temperament?

“Miss Meng, you are really an expert. You can tell good from bad at a glance. It was just a few leaves. Who cared? Maybe my embroidery is better than hers. “Several ladies tried their best to please Li Jiarong.

However, not all the noble girls wanted to cling to the Lis. Some of them ignored Li Jiarong's cold eyes and walked up to Du Ruyan to cotton up to her. They chatted with each other for a while and then asked her where the pleated skirt and robe came from.

This time, Du Ruyan came to amazed the all, and also to make a name for Lin Dan. She said without reservation, “This dress of mine is made by embroiderers Lin Dan. Do you know Lin's Embroidery house, which used to be the largest one in Ling'an Prefecture? Now, Lin Dan is the leader of Lin's Embroidery house. Her embroidery skills are superb! “

“Are you talking about Lin's embroidery house that has been destroyed by the Meng's?”Someone frowned.

“Yes.”

“I see.”Hearing this, the noble girls who were still in high spirits walked away. Although they didn't like to flatter Li Jiarong, they thought the embroidery of the robe was just so so by the words of Meng Si. As soon as they heard that embroiderer came from the collapsed Lin's Embroidery house, they would not invite her in.

Other noble girls invited the best embroiderers in the region, and even the imperial embroiderers, but they invited a broken down. Wasn't it shameful? Forget it. And when they came closer and found that the embroidery of the robe was just ordinary, but it was ingenious. They won't be tricked by this!

When they were almost done, a beautiful woman sat beside her and said with a smile, “Your earrings are also embroidered, aren't they?”

Du Ruyan touched her earlobe and nodded, “Yes, it was embroidered. She first embroidered a double-sided ginkgo leaf on the cloth, and then nailed three pearls on the top of the leaf. Then she cut it off, put it on a hook, and made it into an earring. This pair of earrings and this pair of shoes are the suits. “

To publicize the news, Du Ruyan also spared no effort. She crossed her legs and showed a pair of elegant feet to the woman. The embroidered shoes on her feet were also embroidered with gold and silver silk, and each leaf was nailed with fine and cute pearls.

The woman's eyes lit up at the sight. She was not a fool who would believe whatever Meng Si said. The pattern of the robe was simple, but the embroidery was not simple. The color of each leaf was different. Dark and Light golden color was very natural to be dyed together, and the veins of the leaf were embroidered with extremely thin grayish-white and dark yellow silk threads. It could be said that the leaves had different forms and were lifelike.

The woman bet that she couldn't cut the silk thread so thin, not to mention that Meng Si couldn't cut the silk thread, even if the imperial embroiderers in the palace was kneaded together, they couldn't do like this. The silk thread was thinner and the color was better. No matter how simple the pattern was, the skill couldn't be simpler. As the saying goes, the simplest is the most beautiful, and the simplest is the most complicated. Only in the ordinary can one see the true skills. It's ridiculous that a top embroiderer like Meng Si doesn't understand this at all
