Chapter 127 Family Reunion (13)_1
At the entrance of ’Xuji’s Tailor Shop’, a fourteen-fifteen-year-old maiden walked in. Her face was long, her cheekbones high, her lips thin, giving her a look of cruel ungraciousness. Moreover, she had covered her already ugly face with such a heavy layer of makeup that she looked like the madam of a brothel.
She was wearing a big red orangutan woolen cloak, a large ermine collar around her neck, and holding a hand warmer cleverly embellished with colorful embroidery and jade beads. She walked in with her head held high, with a posse walking behind her.
Cai Wei paused momentarily; she had seen this young lady at Old Madam An’s birthday feast. Word has it that she was the county magistrate’s daughter born of a concubine. Despite her illegitimate status, her display of overbearing arrogance seemed to surpass even the daughters born from a legitimate wife by tenfold, a hundredfold.
The young lady also noticed Cai Wei, she curled up her thin lips and snorted dismissively.
Cai Wei turned her head, shrugged and continued admiring the ancient brocade art.
"Third Young Lady...."
"The shopkeeper ran down from upstairs and said with a smile, "The clothes you ordered have just been completed. We were just about to deliver them to your mansion. How come you are here in person?"
Li Jinzhi glanced at the shopkeeper disdainfully, and asked coldly: "What? Can’t I come?"
"No, not at all, Third Young Lady, you misunderstand." The shopkeeper waved his hands to clarify, "What I meant was that your distinguished presence graces our humble place, it is our good fortune. We could have delivered your order to your mansion, why had the Third Young Lady herself needed to trouble herself with this trip?"
