The Female Supporting Role Shows Out Chapter 89

Published at 8th of July 2022 05:56:04 AM

When they saw Xu Ling, they all agreed that the dress embroidered with pearls, gems, and emeralds was the most beautiful and the best reflection of her embroidery skill. She was worthy of being called Master Meng. No one in the whole Zhejiang or in the whole country could find a second embroider as excellent as her.

But now, looking at the radiant Xu Qian, they finally understood what it meant to be refined and elegant like immortals. The style of her new dress was very simple, but it was just a slip skirt with a cross collar. The inner part was dark purple satin, and the outer part was pure white gauze. The inner part was heavy, and the outer part was thin. The two kinds of cloth overlapped together, and the thick color of the inner layer was faintly reflected through the half-transparent texture of the outer layer, giving a hazy and fresh feeling.

The match of two different materials and the faint color of each other was very ingenious, but the more wonderful thing was the embroidery of the outer shirt. The blooming Wisteria flowers extended from the shoulder to the waist and then dropped from the waist to the hemline of the dress. One by one, strings, thick or light, hung down, full of color. The colorful flowers were beautiful enough, but what was even more unbelievable was that the bunch of Wisteria flowers were not embroidered with silk but were cut into the shape of fingernail-sized petals with extremely thin silk fabric, and then sewed with needlework one by one.

The mixed color of light white and light purple dropped, and when it spread to the tip of the flower, spat out a thick purple. The color was so beautiful and natural. It was more accurate to say that it was a real Wisteria flower blooming on a pure white cloth than an embroidery. They were blooming in full swing, but they didn't seem to be heavy burdens. On the contrary, because of their thin and transparent texture, they looked a little lighter.

A belt made of Pure White Chiffon was tied to her slim waist without any embroidery or embellishment. It was just in the shape of a bowknot and then fell naturally, making it more elegant. With her head down, Xu Qian walked up to her grandmother and greeted her. A gust of autumn wind blew, lifting up her belt, and stirring up the thick or light Wisteria flowers. The tassels hairpin inserted at her temples shook slightly, flickering slightly, and looked somewhat naughty in elegance.

The eldest prince stared at her with burning eyes, but Xu Qian didn't even dare to raise her head. She stood in front of the jealous sisters and poured a cup of tea for Mrs.Xu.

Xu Lin, who was sitting next to Mrs.Xu, became her foil in an instant. Although peony was beautiful, it was just suitable for the rich. It was not as fresh and refined as the exotic fairy. The two of them stood at the same place. One of them was full of Pearl and the other was full of fairy aura. The others could easily figure out which one was more beautiful without hesitation.

Xu Lin was so angry that her face was tilted. She could barely calm down after being pinched secretly by Mrs. Xu.

Mrs.Xu looked back and forth at her granddaughter many times and sighed, “Your dress is so beautiful and ingenious. Did embroider Miss Lin make it for you?”

“Exactly.”Xu Qian said softly, “Last time when I went back to the temple, I saw the robe she made for Miss Du, so I booked this dress for her.”

When the Buddha meeting was held in the Faxing temple, the news that the eldest prince was about to visit Xu Lin hadn't been spread yet. Xu Qian was telling Mrs.Xu in a disguised way that she had made this dress for a long time, not to steal the limelight of Xus on purpose. Moreover, everyone was the daughter of the Xus. The eldest prince fall in love with whoever would be ok. Strictly speaking, there was no difference between the daughter of the wife and the daughter of a concubine.

Msr.Xu was really happy. She took her hand and sat down. Noticing the eldest prince frequently looking at her, she was happy and treated her granddaughter more kindly.

Only then did the eldest prince realize that he had lost his composure. He quickly withdrew his gaze, but the unworldly figure that had slowly walked over kept lingering in his mind. During the rest of the banquet, his words and behaviors seemed normal, but in fact, he was chewing and absent-minded, and his eyes would involuntarily float towards the female guests.

The ninth daughter of Xus, who was sitting on the left side of Msr.Xu was the simplest. She didn't notice the undercurrent between the sisters but stared at the dress wholeheartedly. “Sixth sisters, I saw it when you just arrived. It must be made by Miss Lin.”She said with a smile.

“Oh? How did you know that? “Asked Xu Qian softly.

“That's the style of Lin! Every dress she made was full of fairy aura. The one who wore it was the fairy lady. Miss Du looks like the goddess of a tree in that blouse last time. This time, this skirt makes you look like a goddess of flowers. Her clothes will double your beauty, not to mention you are already beautiful. “The ninth daughter said enviously.

“Thank you, the ninth sister.” Xu Qian covered her mouth and smiled. Her deep eyes finally showed a little pure joy.

As soon as she finished speaking, a crisp sound was heard from the other end of the male guest. All the ladies turned their heads to look, only to find that the eldest prince had somehow broken the wine glass and was sitting on the table with a cold face. Noticing that everyone was looking at him, he also turned his head and swept his cold and sharp eyes over, which scared all the ladies to be silent.

This was the first time that Xu Qian observed the eldest prince carefully. He was extremely tall, with deep and handsome features, and his temperament was cold and indifferent. He was exactly the same as the legendary prince. Could he really help her out of the hell? Xu Qian was not sure, let alone guessing whether it was a bigger fire pit. There was a touch of sadness and confusion in her calm eyes. She lowered her head slightly in the cold gaze of the eldest prince.

“Your Highness, your robe is wet. May I take you to change it?” The voice of Admiral Xu came faintly. The eldest prince responded in a low voice. In a short while, the two of them left their seats and went downstairs to change their clothes.

Without the distinguished guest and the master, Xu Ling, who had endured for a long time, sneered, “What fairy? It's just a cheap dress made of rags. How dare you wear it to make a fool of yourself!”

Xu Qian didn't respond, allowing Xu Lin to vent her anger. What was rag? Anyone with eyes could see how exquisite the dress was. Every petal was bound with a thread. The pale yellow pistils and the gradually changing color of the flowers were all embroidered by Lin Dan, and they were carefully sewed into the shape of Wisteria flowers. Not to mention using this piece of cloth as a dress, even if it was mounted into an embroidery screen, there were still many people willing to spend a high price to collect it.

At the sight of the dress, Xu Qian had completely understood why Lin Dan sent it here before the deadline. In fact, it was beyond Xu Qian's expectation that she could finish the complicated handcraft in sixteen days. Although the dress was simple in style, it was definitely not easy to make. Cutting these tens of millions of petals was enough to consume a lot of energy, not to mention dye them and sew them. No matter how magnificent the peony dress that Meng Si embroidered was, it was difficult to compete with the fairy dress of Lin Dan. The dress she made was no longer an ordinary thing.

The ninth daughter of Xus was quite favored, and she was not afraid of Xu Lin. She immediately said, “Since seventh sister dislikes her so much, don't go to find Miss Lin to make dresses in the future, in case her cheap dress will degrade you. I don't mind. The sixth sister, if you introduce Miss Lin to me, I'll ask her to make all my dresses from now on! “

“Of course you can. I'll take you to her embroidery shop next time.” Xu Qian nodded with a smile.

Hearing what she said, all the girls gathered around her. They touched the wisteria on her dress while asking about the situation of Lin Dan. How could they not know such a skilled embroider?

Several ladies had attended the meeting at Faxing temple. They had seen with their own eyes the ginkgo leaf robe of Du Ruoyan, which was very stunning at that time. But later, they were deceived by a few words of ridicule from Meng Si and stopped the idea of making clothes by Lin Dan. Xu Qian was the most observant. They immediately walked over to cotton up to Du Ruoyan and then got to know her. If it weren't for that, how could she make her amazing appearance today?

The more the ladies thought about it, the more regretful they felt. Naturally, their impression of Lin Dan had changed greatly. Now in their eyes, Lin Dan's embroidery skill was as good as Meng Si's.

Since Xu Lin had made up her mind, it was not a good idea to go to make clothes for her. She was angry and anxious, fearing that her sisters would compare her with her. If she had known that Lin Dan was so powerful, she wouldn't have asked Meng Si for help. The No.1 embroider in Zhejiang province? Bah!

Mrs. Xu smiled amiably, but in her heart, she was blaming Meng Si for her incompetence, which made her daughter a foil to others. If it weren't for her daughter's vulgar peony dress, Xu Qian's Wisteria flower dress would never be so outstanding now! The No.1 embroider in the province? The only one who could surpass Ye Jinxiu? Humph, She was really flattering herself.

As soon as the eldest prince left, the guests scattered one after another. When Xu Qian returned to her room and was about to change her clothes, she saw Mrs. Kou sneaking in. She asked expectantly, “Qianqian, how's the family dinner? Did the eldest prince notice you? “

“I don't know. I don't dare to look at him all the time.” Xu Qian shook her head and smiled bitterly. Although she was independent, she was not good at playing tricks. Naturally, she did not know how to attract the attention of a man.

“It's okay. I'm sure the eldest prince will notice you. No one can be more beautiful than you at the family feast today. Thanks to embroidering. She is really good at embroidery. I don't believe that she almost ruined your work! “Fortunately, her daughter was very tough and forced her to give up the ridiculous idea of pushing off the order and returning the deposit. Otherwise, how could her daughter be like today?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Kou wiped the cold sweat on her forehead. Thinking of Xu Lin's vulgar dress, she couldn't help but smile.

Xu Qian took off her dress carefully and said with a smile, “I will wear this dress tomorrow to walk on the street and make a name for Miss Lin. Thanks to her today.”

“Don't go. You silly girl. Miss Lin is such a good girl. It's not too late for others to hide her. How can you push her out? Let's try our best to win her over and ask her to only embroider clothes for you! “

Xu Qian shook her head and smiled, “Auntie, we don't have money or power. How can we win her over? With her skill, even if I don't spread it out for her, she will be famous in the country sooner or later. At that time, we want to see her, just like the rich women and ladies in the province want to see Meng Si. Without a hundred taels of silver, we can't get it. Now that we can build a good relationship with her, why not? Some people's talents can't be hidden at all. “

Finally, Mrs.Kou was convinced by his daughter. Shee looked around the fairy dress for a long time, and then carefully stroked it before she left. Every woman would love this dress to death, but unfortunately, she was too old to match it.
