The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

"Okay, but you have to go with me to tell my mother first."

Tong Jia Wanying, who had not expected to have to report it, rolled her eyes at Qing Yin in anger and said, "Do you need to tell me? Of course I know."

After talking, the two walked out of the boudoir, crossed the corridor, and headed towards Madam Tong Jia's Fanghua Courtyard.

In Fanghua Courtyard, Madam Tong Jia heard her two daughters coming into the courtyard together and thought that they had reconciled, so she happily welcomed them in.

Seeing the elder daughter's one-sided indifference towards the younger daughter, she looked at Qingyin's hurt eyes with worry. She had flesh and blood on her hands. Although she showed more concern in her words because of her younger daughter's illness, she actually treated both daughters the same spiritually and materially.

Tong Jia Wanying said stiffly: "Mother, I want to go shopping for clothes with my sister."

Listening to her eldest daughter's stiff words, Madam Tong Jia thought it was something that happened before she was born, so she didn't care. She said to the two of them with relief, "Okay, okay, you all go out for a walk and relax. Mother has four hundred taels of silver. You each take half and spend it. If it's not enough, send the servants back to the mansion to get more, okay?"

Tong Jia Wanying's smile became more genuine as she got the money, and Qingyin also obediently took the silver from her mother.

Having agreed to the matter, Tong Jia Wanying shook off Qing Yin and returned to her own yard to prepare her things for the trip.

Looking at the young lady's back, He Lu was a little angry:

"Miss, the eldest lady was smiling when she came to see you just now, but now that it's done, she won't even wait for you."

Qingyin comforted Helu who was standing up for her: "It's okay, elder sister may have something urgent to deal with."

After being comforted and stopped by her master, He Lu also knew that she could not criticize her master's words, so she obediently did not say anything.

The next day, early in the morning, Qingyin was dragged by the enthusiastic Helu to change into a delicate pink cheongsam with lotus-shaped patterns. It was rare for Qingyin to be dressed so pink and tender. With her short hair in a bun, Qingyin looked even cuter under this pink cheongsam, like a plump peach that was about to burst with water.

"Miss, the clothes are worthy of being chosen by Madam. They suit you very well." He Lu looked at the young lady with a cold appearance wearing pink. She seemed to have melted away all the alienation and coldness on her body, making people feel that she could be touched and caught up with.

Especially after the young lady smiled, it was as if the snow-capped mountains melted and all things revived in spring. Qingyin also praised the sweet-mouthed He Lu.

Tong Jia Wanying arrived just in time for this scene. Looking at the outfit she had carefully selected, which was not even as good as the young Qing Yin's, her good mood to show off her new dress was gone.

She said angrily, "Why haven't you packed yet? It's so late. I should have known not to wait for you!"

Qing Yin lowered her head slightly, her thick and long eyelashes trembled, her eyes were slightly red, and she choked up a little, "Don't be angry, elder sister, I'm fine now."

Looking at the aggrieved young lady, He Lu glared at the eldest young lady angrily. Tong Jia Wanying, who received all kinds of complaining and angry gazes, avoided them guiltily, especially the suspicious gaze from Cuihua, her personal maid. She softened her tone and said, "I was just anxious to leave. Let's go, sister."

"I know, elder sister."

The stagnant atmosphere along the way was broken only after leaving the house. The streets were bustling with people coming and going, cars and traffic, and shops lined up on both sides. It was very lively.

The crowds were bustling, shoulder to shoulder, with sounds of hawking, bargaining, arguing, quarreling, and laughter mixed together, creating a scene of a prosperous market.

Tong Jia Wanying was attracted by the scene before her, her eyes full of curiosity. Although she inherited the memory of her original body, this was the first time she saw it in reality. These streets in ancient times were quite lively.

She simply grabbed Qingyin's wrist and walked towards the market.

"Sister, aren't we going to choose jewelry and clothes? The Treasure Pavilion and Xuanyi Pavilion are over there." Qingyin guessed that this person's previous focus was no longer on clothing stores and jewelry stores, but she didn't expect that she would go to other places as soon as she left the house.

Tong Jia Wanying said impatiently: "Go back to those people from the Treasure Pavilion and Xuanyi Pavilion, aren't you annoyed? What are you afraid of following the guards?"

Tong Jia Wanying took Qing Yin through various stalls, shops, and food. Looking at these simple foods, she felt excited. She didn't come out just to have fun. These foods were so simple. If she opened a shop with modern ideas, she would make a lot of money!

Qingyin looked at Tong Jia Wanying with pride in her eyes. This elder sister must have thought of something good again and was standing there in a daze.

Qingyin called her back to her senses while smilingly rejecting the enthusiastic invitation from the red bean cake shop owner in front of her.

The shopkeeper who was rejected was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. Looking at the two young girls in front of him who were wearing luxurious clothes and veils, he also greeted them tentatively. The two girls in front of him were obviously ladies from wealthy families, and they were followed by guards and maids. He didn't dare to offend them.

But isn't the older girl standing in front of him a little silly? She doesn't say anything and just stands in a daze in front of him. The other girl is really smart. She looks like a sensible and pretty girl. It would be great if his daughter could look as pretty as this girl, the man thought enviously.

Qingyin had no idea what the uncle in front of her was thinking. Looking at the kind eyes of the uncle, she asked Helu to buy a big bag of snacks. When she got back, she would share some with her father, mother, brothers and servants, and the rest would not be wasted.

After waiting for Tong Jia Wanying to come to her senses, she frowned when she saw Qingyin buying such a big bag of snacks. However, since it was all Qingyin's own money, she didn't say anything and just took Qingyin away.

After finding out about the food, she also wanted to see the styles of the clothing shop. Qingyin, who was being pulled, did not struggle. She followed Tong Jia Wanying obediently.

"This is the largest and most famous treasure house in the capital? Not that great?" Tong Jia Wanying said with a little contempt as she stood in the store. She looked at the simple and ordinary hairpins and jewelry in front of her, her tone somewhat contemptuous.

"Sister, these styles are relatively simple. The better-looking ones are upstairs." Qingyin explained in a low voice.

"Miss, you are right. Our Treasure Pavilion is the largest store in Beijing. The styles here are the latest. If you can't find something satisfactory here, you will probably find it somewhere else." The salesman said to Tong Jia Wanying with a forced smile.

Seeing that she had been in the Qing Dynasty for so long and no one had ever glared at her so brazenly, Tong Jia Wanying was so angry that her face turned red, "You!"
