Chapter 145 - 73: Reporting Without a Change in Expression
"Miss, does it look alright now?" Lan Xiang carefully asked as she inserted a silver lotus hairpin into the bun.
Gu Fangzi lifted her eyes to look, and apart from the silver hairpin, there were also silver hairpins with flower designs on her hairdo. Even though the carving and craftsmanship were decent, silver was still silver, and it looked cheap no matter how one saw it!
"That will do, let it be!" Gu Fangzi snorted coldly, plotting in her heart to have her cousin get her some white jade or green jade jewelry no matter what. In the past, she only liked colorful and bright various gold filigree, gold carvings, kingfisher feathers, and ruby and sapphire cat’s-eye jewelry, disdaining jade for being too plain and pure. But now she couldn’t wear any of those previous pieces! Not only could she not wear them, but they had all been scavenged by that cheap woman Sang Wan!
Gu Fangzi couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache, secretly determined to make her spit them all out.
After she finished grooming herself, the maid brought breakfast, consisting of a bowl of eight-treasure lotus seed and lily porridge, a bowl of red rice porridge, a plate of crispy sesame cakes, a plate of vegetarian steamed dumplings, along with two or three small side dishes to go with the porridge.
"Is this all?" Gu Fangzi’s face darkened all of a sudden.
Lan Xiang understood her meaning and hurriedly whispered in response: "Miss, you are currently in a mourning period, so the food is all vegetarian..."
The mourning period again! The grievously tormented Gu Fangzi held back her anger once more and silently sat down to eat the completely vegetarian breakfast.
