Chapter 160 - 136: Setting Out_1
Huang Yue’e was indeed the epitome of ancient beauty, with her petite figure, an oval face, fair skin, watery almond-shaped eyes, a small nose, and cherry lips—a classic beauty in traditional attire. Her appearance matched well with the handsome Zhang Yang.
Her mother, Lady Li, was also a beautiful middle-aged woman—graceful and reserved. She didn’t just bring her second daughter Huang Yue’e, she also brought her third daughter Huang Yuexian.
According to the introductions, Huang Yuexian was the same age as Huang Yue’e, both fourteen, with just two months apart. They were supposedly not born from the same mother. Seeing how Huang Yue’e and Lady Li were very close, while Huang Yuexian was more distant from Lady Li, it seemed Huang Yue’e was Lady Li’s own daughter, and Huang Yuexian was a concubine’s child.
Huang Yuexian was even more beautiful and flamboyant than her sister, half a head taller and dressed even more luxuriously.
Old Lady Zhang specifically introduced Qian Yixiu to Lady Li and her two daughters, and even asked Qian Yixiu to address Huang Yue’e and Huang Yuexian as "Second Auntie" and "Third Aunt."
Lady Li began by smiling and removing a jade and gold hairpin from her head to give to Qian Yixiu.
The gift seemed a bit too generous. Qian Yixiu didn’t dare to accept it at first, looking at Old Lady Zhang, who smiled and said, "If Landlord Huang’s wife gives it to you, just take it."
Qian Yixiu bowed her knees and thanked her before she accepted the hairpin.
Huang Yue’e then smiled and gave her a silk handkerchief as a meeting gift, adding, "This was embroidered by Second Auntie herself, take it for fun."
