The whole family wears it! Roll it up together! The envy of all the rich in Beijing

Seeing that his daughter said she wanted to go, Hong Tianqiao didn't say anything else. He just asked the lady some more things to pay attention to that day.

Then she brought her daughter and son to the clothing shop on the street.

The lady gave two pieces of Shu brocade which were the best in the box and asked Hong Tianqiao to make two sets of clothes for Bai Jintong and Bai Jinan. However, Hong Tianqiao didn't know how to make them and was afraid of wasting such good Shu brocade.

Especially after Bai Jintong told her that an inch of brocade was worth one tael of gold, Hong Tianqiao became even more afraid to touch it.

I'm afraid it'll get snagged if I touch it.

Mother Hong knows how to make it, but Hong Tianqiao decided to let the garment shop do it.

At least it has to keep up with the trendy styles in the capital, otherwise it would be a waste of the lady's kindness and such fine brocade.

The shop they came to was Yunjin Pavilion, an upper-middle-class clothing store in the capital.

Most of the wives of officials like to patronize this shop because of its good craftsmanship and new styles.

In such shops, even if you cannot bring your own clothes and ask them to be made, the prices are the same as those of ready-made clothes in general shops, or even more expensive.

When Hong Tianqiao learned that his daughter had a mission, he had to spend a lot of money to help her complete the mission.

In fact, there was not much money left at home, but we didn’t tell the children.

She and Lao Bai have always raised their daughter in wealth to prevent her from being cheated away by others with a little benefit.

I'm only here to make clothes for Bai Jintong and Bai Jinan. As for clothes, I'll ask Mother Hong to look at the styles and then go back and make them for her.

Bai Jintong had just been helped down from the carriage by Bai Jinan when she was startled by a snow-white Persian cat that suddenly jumped out from nowhere.

"Meow--"

The cat was also frightened and was running around everywhere.

"Be careful, sister."

Bai Jin'an supported Bai Jintong and quickly moved away.

"I do not……"

Before Bai Jintong could finish her words, a child suddenly rushed over from the side and bumped into her legs. She staggered and was almost caught by Bai Jin'an.

Seeing the little potato falling backwards, Bai Jintong quickly grabbed it.

"Little sister, are you hurt anywhere?"

Bai Jintong saw Little Potato's appearance and smiled like an auntie.

Little Potato is so cute.

The weather was cold, and Little Potato was dressed like a ball.

The hood on her head fell off, revealing two cute little tufts of hair. The snow-white sable fur, together with Little Potato's own shiny black hair, made her snow-white face look rosy and her big eyes twinkled, just like a doll in a New Year picture.

At first glance, she is obviously a child from a wealthy family, otherwise Bai Jintong would have kissed her twice.

"Sister, I'm fine, my meow!"

The soft and chewy voice of Little Potato melted Bai Jintong completely.

"Are you talking about the cat just now?"

Bai Jintong looked for a long time but couldn't figure out who the little potato's family members were. The maid didn't see any of them either. Could it be that someone's child got lost while chasing a cat?

"What happened to Tongtong?"

Hong Tianqiao saw that his daughter did not enter the store, so he looked outside and saw a New Year picture doll in his daughter's arms.

"Where did this beautiful New Year doll come from?"

Hong Tianqiao's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to take action, a man came out of the jewelry shop next door and shouted to Xiao Tu Dou.

"Nan Sheng."

Little Potato, also known as Nan Sheng, saw the man with accusations in his big eyes. He ran over and opened his arms to ask for a hug.

"Daddy meow meow is gone~"

The man whom Little Potato called Daddy was a handsome young man in his early twenties.

What a handsome man on the street, as beautiful as jade, a gentleman unparalleled in the world.

The man picked up Nan Sheng and looked at Bai Jintong.

"It wasn't me…it went that direction."

Bai Jintong was so nervous as to explain immediately that she felt like the person who deliberately let the cat go.

Fortunately, the man had been watching the whole process when Nan Sheng ran out and knew the truth.

He nodded, and seeing how scared Bai Jintong was, he didn't say anything else. He nodded to Hong Tianqiao and turned to the servants behind him.

"Why don't you go find it?"

"Yes."

Bai Jintong pulled her mother and brother into the clothing shop.

That person is good-looking, but his aura is too strong.

"Daddy, that sister smells so good, can you marry her home and make her Shengsheng's mother?"

"No."

Nan Mingyu refused mercilessly.

If he was not mistaken, the girl was not yet of marriageable age, so he changed the subject.

"Your grandmother made roasted squab, don't you want to eat it?"

“Eat, eat, eat!

Daddy, let's go home and eat squab!"

Bai Jintong and Hong Tianqiao were dazzled by the choices in the clothing store.

They think all clothes look good, which is something that cannot be compared with the replicas of later generations.

Now that it is winter, Bai Jintong and Hong Tianqiao both consider keeping warm as the main consideration, and finally decided to make a long jacket with a front opening and a skirt, which is very ethereal and warm.

Yunjin Pavilion is a century-old ready-made clothing shop, and Bai Jintong’s clothes were made and delivered the next day.

The clothes are well made, but of course they are very expensive.

Bai Mengshang came home from get off work and was about to tell his family about the princess' choice of a companion, but he didn't expect that everyone knew about it.

"Then tomorrow morning, Tongtong should go to the palace with dad."

As soon as Bai Mengshang finished speaking, Bai Jintong, Hong Tianqiao and Bai Jin'an all looked at him with their mouths wide open.

"The princess is choosing a tutor. Do we have to let the princess go outside to choose?"

Bai Mengshang saw that his wife and children looked incredulous, and he couldn't believe it either.

"Then sister, you are going to enter the palace!"

Bai Jin'an was very envious.

"What's there to envy? It's not like you haven't been to the Forbidden City before, but the new one has a more historical feel."

"Then can't I go along?"

When Hong Tianqiao heard that the selection would be held in the palace, she estimated that she would not be able to accompany her daughter.

“Of course, there will be people waiting to pick them up at the palace gate.

If you are not selected, there will be eunuchs to send you out, and you can only wait at the palace gate when you go there.

I'm here, you might as well wait at home."

Bai Mengshang found out all these things when he knew that his daughter would also participate in the princess's companion selection.

"That's all it can do."

Early the next morning, Bai Jintong was woken up by Hong Tianqiao and asked to dress up.

Wearing the newly made lilac-colored dress given by the lady, Bai Jintong's face looked rosy and tender.

Mother Hong combed her hair into a bun, which made her look like a talented young lady.

"My daughter is so pretty!"

Hong Tianqiao couldn't help but admire her, saying that her daughter could never be pampered enough.

"Yes, the girl is naturally beautiful, and has inherited all the good qualities of the master and the lady."

Mother Hong also thinks her daughter is beautiful no matter how you look at her.

"With such handsome parents, I naturally can't be ugly."

Bai Jintong was very satisfied with herself when looking at herself in the bronze mirror, and was not at all modest about the praise from her mother and Mother Hong.

After the family finished breakfast, they went to pay their respects to the lady dowager, and then Bai Jintong followed her father to the palace.

Before leaving, Hong Tianqiao stuffed a purse of silver into her pocket in case of any emergency.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate. Bai Jintong got off the carriage and was taken aside by the waiting eunuch.

She didn't even have time to say another word to her father.

There are already more than twenty girls waiting here, all of them are plump and thin, and all of them are pretty girls of different looks who have not yet reached the age of marriage.

Little did she know that she herself was also a beautiful flower in the eyes of others.

Soon, seven or eight more girls came and the young eunuch led them to the harem.

Following the eunuch along the way, turning left and right, Bai Jintong felt that she had no sense of direction and would definitely not be able to find her way back.

When passing by the corridor of a hall, Bai Jintong saw Nan Sheng, who bumped into her on the street the day before yesterday, from afar.

Nan Sheng is wearing a bright red fox fur coat today, which looks very festive.

Nan Sheng was brought to the palace to play by her grandmother today. Suddenly she saw Bai Jintong and came up to her and held her hand.

"Sister, why are you here too?"

The team stopped because of Nan Sheng.

Bai Jintong, who has attracted much attention, is already nervous.

It’s really fatal!

This is in the palace!

But Nan Sheng looked like he wouldn't let go unless she answered, so Bai Jintong was afraid of wasting time and answered honestly.

"I'm here to participate in the princess's selection of a tutor."

"What is companion study?"

"Little Princess, the Queen Mother is still waiting for you.

I will tell you what it means to be a tutor."

Fortunately, the nanny who was taking care of Nan Sheng came over and coaxed her away, and the team was able to move on.

Bai Jintong was surprised. She was really capable. The little potato she met on the street turned out to be a princess.
