Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

This dress is really beautiful.

The lake-blue satin, like clear water, shimmers with a delicate and soft sheen under the light. The intricate and exquisite Ruyi patterns embroidered with gold thread are intricate and exquisite. The folded hem of the dress is distinctly layered, giving it a three-dimensional and dynamic feel, reminiscent of the gentle flow of lake water, a vivid and lifelike effect.

"It's so beautiful!" Yan Xining exclaimed sincerely.

Chu Jinxun turned his head, his voice so gentle that it seemed to drip water: "Do you like it? If you like it, let's buy it!"

The steward stood aside with a smile: "If you like it, you can try it on!"

Yan Xueqi, who had just arrived, was furious: "Manager, I was the one who won the bid for this dress. Are you guys at Yunshangju trying to double-dip it?"

The steward still smiled: "Miss, please take a look at the order form in your hand!"

Yan Xueqi didn't want to look at the order form, especially when she saw that the person in charge was Yan Xining, who was calling her "Gui Ren". She was so angry that her face almost twisted. She said sarcastically, "Why, you extorted money from my family and now you act like you're rich?"

After she finished cursing, she saw Chu Jinxun and felt as if she was dazzled, her eyes a little dazed.

This man was so handsome that she couldn't even curse him. Even calling him a sick ghost seemed excessive.

But thinking of the Sixth Prince beside her, she immediately withdrew her gaze and stared coldly at Yan Xining.

The Sixth Prince said to Chu Jinxun in a graceful manner: "Fifth Brother!"

Chu Jinxun nodded gently, rather puzzled. "Why do you say that, Second Miss Yan? Marquis Yan loves his daughter and is generous and kind, ahem...how come you're saying this and I'm blackmailing you?"

"I, I didn't say anything about you, Your Highness..." Looking directly at Chu Jinxun, Yan Xueqi couldn't speak clearly.

"It was a gift from Marquis Yan, and your sister only reluctantly accepted it. Is Second Miss Yan questioning your father?"

Yan Xueqi turned her head inadvertently, and saw several pairs of eyes looking at her. She was furious and anxious, knowing that she couldn't let any words slip at this moment. She immediately put on a pitiful look, "I, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say hello to my sister!"

"I see!" Chu Jinxun coughed lightly and said, "Second Miss Yan's way of greeting is really unique. Are all ugly people's greetings so annoying?"

Yan Xueqi's eyes suddenly widened: "You, what did you say? I'm ugly?"

There were some noble ladies shopping nearby. Although they didn't dare to come closer, they were still paying attention to this side. When they heard this, they were all a little surprised.

"Aren't you ugly?" Chu Jinxun turned around and took Yan Xining's hand: "You are not as pretty as my princess, so you are ugly, right?"

Yan Xueqi's nose was almost crooked with anger. Does this sick guy have eyes? How dare he call her ugly? That country girl's face was rough and dark, how could she compare to hers?

The Sixth Prince laughed heartily. "As the ancients said, 'In the eyes of the beholder, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, while in the eyes of others, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.' This is absolutely true. Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law are newly married. Besides Fifth Sister-in-law, everyone else is ugly in your eyes! Second Miss, you have to admit defeat!"

Yan Xueqi naturally knew that the Sixth Prince was trying to help her out, and that continuing the argument would be disadvantageous to her.

She immediately turned to the Yunshangju manager and said, "I paid a deposit for this dress. How can you sell it to someone else?"

The manager's smile remained unchanged: "Yunshangju is honest and trustworthy. Miss, please take a look at your order form!"

Yan Xueqi thought, could it be that they did something to it?

She stretched out her hand and her maid Siqin quickly handed her a piece of beautifully folded paper.

Yan Xueqi held up the square piece of paper and said, "This is your order form, right?"

This special, one-of-a-kind paper can be recognized by everyone present.

The steward still smiled: "Yes!"

Yan Xueqi opened it, and on the paper was written: "A beautiful blue Ruyi embroidered water-rippled hundred-fold skirt, bought by the Second Miss Yan of the Weiyuan Marquisate for one thousand taels of silver. A deposit of one hundred taels has been paid. You must come to pick it up on the 25th of this month. No later than this date will be accepted!"

She raised the paper and held it in front of the steward: "What's the problem?"

The Sixth Prince took it and looked at it, his expression looking a little ugly.

There is another line of small words below: "Before the last minute of the night, remember this!"

The manager spoke in a gentle voice and with a professional smile, "It's past the hour of Wei and now it's the hour of Shen! We can indeed sell it separately!"

"It's just a little late, can't you be flexible?"

The manager smiled at Yan Xueqi and said, "Our shop is based on a first-come, first-served basis. If these two don't want it, you can still buy it!"

Yan Xueqi's eyes flashed, and Siqin immediately said, "Why? She's only a little late, and my young lady should have priority now!"

Yan Xueqi looked at the Sixth Prince with a gentle gaze that revealed helplessness, grievance and forbearance.

Chu Yunyan frowned slightly, and looked at the manager with a sense of oppression.

The steward spoke in a gentle tone, "After the last hour of the day, whoever arrives first will have priority! This has always been the rule of our store. Miss Yan, you are of noble status, so you must know this!"

"But did you also stipulate that the clothes you sold before were delivered before the last minute of the evening?" Yan Xueqi was dissatisfied and unwilling.

The steward nodded seriously. "It's not necessarily the case. Sometimes the auction ends at Si hour, so the stipulated time is before the last quarter of Si hour. Sometimes the auction ends at Shen hour, so the stipulated time is before the last quarter of Shen hour. In short, it depends on the time the auction ends. It's always been like this before."

He added, "After all, these are clothes made by Madam Feng Pianxian, and she set the rules. Others don't have these restrictions. Second Miss can go to the third floor and take a look. Although the clothes there are not as good as those embroidered by Madam Feng herself, they are still exquisite and unique in their own way!"

Made by Lady Feng, it is said that one will be produced every month, but sometimes there will not be one produced for three or four months. There are so many noble ladies in the capital, it is impossible for everyone to be able to take a picture of it, and the third floor of Yunshangju is their first choice.

But at this moment, how could Yan Xueqi be willing to look at the clothes on the third floor again?

She glanced at Chu Jinxun with resentment, then turned to the Sixth Prince, already forbearing and yielding, full of tenderness: "Your Highness, I never expected that my sister would like the clothes I took so hard to buy. Although I like it too, how can I compete with her if she wants it? If the news gets out, people will inevitably laugh at me. So... forget it!"

What a great way to endure and give in to the grievances for the sake of your sister.

Chu Jinxun coughed lightly, "Second Miss Yan's eyesight isn't very good, and neither are her hearing! The steward said this is the rule, and you're late as you please. By acting like this, are you trying to get others to sympathize with you and condemn your sister?"

"I don't!"

"Who wouldn't like something made by Madam Feng herself? You're talking as if your sister is trying to take away what you love. You're late. The goods are from the store, first come, first served, cough cough cough..."

He scorned her, "The steward has already made it clear, but you're being ambiguous. Ahem... you just want to throw this basin of dirty water on your sister. You're not a big person, but you have a very vicious mind!"

Someone nearby chuckled, and then someone else laughed out loud.

Yan Xueqi bit her lip. She had never been so embarrassed before.

The Sixth Prince said slowly, "Fifth Brother, the Second Miss is a woman, please be more polite!"

"Sixth Brother, you're so mean. Not only did you not show courtesy to your sister-in-law, but you also want to collude with outsiders to bully her?"

The Sixth Prince's expression changed. How could a country girl be worthy of his bowing?

He pretended not to hear and only snorted: "This dress costs one thousand taels of silver. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

Yan Xining blinked his eyes, very innocently: "With the financial resources of our Anwang Mansion, I definitely can't afford it. But you don't know, my father loves me and felt that he didn't give me a dowry, so he compensated me a little. Now it's more than enough to buy it!" "Small Theater:

Chu Jinxun: You old man, if you ignore me now, you will have to ask me for a vote if you want to become the crown prince in the future!

Sixth Prince: Brother, you are my real brother! May you live a long and healthy life, be happy and blessed with a happy family reunion, be carefree, and have everything go well! Please vote for me!

Bowing all around: Dear family members, one vote is not too little, ten votes are not too many, please vote, please vote!"
