Chapter 116 Falling from the Building
"Lu Qinghui! What are you standing there for?"
Lu Jingshu looked at Lu Qinghui standing motionless in the distance and shouted angrily. She was already very reluctant to bring Lu Qinghui out in the first place, and now she was still standing there motionless, which was annoying.
When Lu Qinghui heard the voice, she came back to her senses, looked at the white silver ingots, and then looked at her arrogant elder sister. Her heart was filled with resentment, but in order not to cause trouble, she still walked over.
He apologized in a low voice, "Sister, I'm sorry. I was so fascinated by the clothes that I didn't notice you guys walking away."
Lu Jingshu looked at her with disdain and said, "The ones in front are not custom-made. At most, they are just high-end goods from ordinary stores. But here, these are nothing. The ones inside are truly top-notch goods!"
Having said that, he took Lu Qinghui inside.
Lu Qinghui followed behind, her eyes constantly glancing to the side, looking at the well-made clothes with envy. It seemed that these were all the patterns that Madam Ying had taught Guo Zhi privately.
Unfortunately, she had asked Madam Ying many times, but Madam Ying always refused, saying that the time was not right. Otherwise, she would be the one to open the store, and Guo Zhi and Ye Minzhi would not have had the chance.
"This pattern is really beautiful and novel. None of the embroiderers in the mansion or the clothing stores I often go to can make a style like this." Lu Jingshu exclaimed as she picked up a piece of clothing in front of her.
After a pause, she turned around and looked at her concubine sister, chuckled and said, "I heard that the owner of this store is your classmate in Yuanlin Academy, and he has the same teacher as you. Tsk~ How come you haven't learned the essence at all? You are worthy of being a concubine's daughter. You are not smart enough after all."
Because she didn't want to go to Yuanlin Academy to study and live with other people, her mother hired a nanny for her. She heard that she came from the palace and could teach her the best things.
At that time, my aunt wanted Lu Qinghui to be educated at home with her, so she begged my father for this.
But my mother and my aunt didn't get along well, so how could she let Lu Qinghui take such a big advantage? In the end, my father sent Lu Qinghui to Yuanlin Academy to appease my aunt. Otherwise, how could this concubine sister have such good learning conditions.
Even if she was the daughter of a fortune teller, she had to be distinguished between favored and unfavored. If she was unfavored, it would be good enough if she could learn to read and write and learn some housekeeping skills. This Lu Qinghui was obviously favored...
When Lu Qinghui heard this, it was as if a firecracker had been set off in her heart, and the long fuse was lit, but she did not show it on her face. She said, "Yes, I am not as smart as my elder sister. But my elder sister is the eldest daughter of the transport envoy."
Then he changed the subject and continued, "It's just that the store opened by my classmate was given by her second sister. The entire mall belongs to her second sister. Everything with the word Shunan was made by her second sister step by step. When will my eldest sister be as good as a country girl?"
Lu Jingshu said: "No matter how powerful he is, he is just a businessman. Although the Great Zhao Dynasty also values businessmen, he is just a businessman after all. How can he be a scholar? I want to marry a marquis and become a noble lady in the future!"
Lu Qinghui sneered in her heart and was very contemptuous of her elder sister's words.
One has to marry to get rich, while the other can get wealth by relying on herself. Comparing the two, any discerning person can tell who has a brighter future. Only an old-fashioned person like my elder sister would think that it is glorious to marry to pursue a bright future.
Lu Jingshu, who was picking out flowers, mocked again: "But she is a country girl and can achieve such results. You, the daughter of a high-ranking official, also studied together, so why are you often punished by the teacher~"
Lu Qinghui didn't say anything. When she came out, she was already prepared to be ridiculed.
But the mocking voices in my ears never stopped. "Besides, when I was in the mansion, I often heard my aunt bragging about someone studying at Yuanlin Academy, saying that he could earn a good future for himself in the future. But~ I think the good future is fake, and being a wooden man is real."
After saying that, he smiled at the maid beside him.
Even though Lu Qinghui had made sufficient preparations, she couldn't help but hear the repeated ridicule. She walked aside silently, trying to calm herself down.
She walked to a corner and came out from the door next to it. It was the street scene downstairs. The bustling crowd made it impossible to see the original appearance of the street. She looked at her elder sister who was busy picking cloth in the distance, and an idea came to her mind.
"Sister, please come and take a look at the scenery here. It's quite unique. You will definitely regret it if you don't see it." Lu Qinghui greeted Lu Jingshu.
Lu Jingshu said impatiently: "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, can it be as beautiful as the mountains and waters in our mansion?"
After saying that, he didn't plan to go over and continued to compare different clothes with the maid.
A beam of light came in and hit the clothes in front of Lu Qinghui. The clothes reflected different patterns under the sunlight. The orchid hidden under the stitches emitted a silver light, and waves of orchid fragrance penetrated into her nostrils.
"Big sister, look." Lu Qinghui risked being scolded by Lu Jingshu, and held up the dress towards the sunlight, saying, "Only you can wear this dress with such charm."
Lu Jingshu looked back and saw the silver light shining. She was instantly attracted. She put down the clothes in her hand and walked over, saying, "This dress is really very beautiful. Your classmate is really talented. It's a pity that you are so stupid that you didn't learn even a little bit."
Lu Qinghui didn't say anything. She swallowed her saliva. The fuse of the firecrackers in her heart seemed to have reached the critical point. She pulled Lu Jingshu and the clothes in her hand and walked out, saying, "Sister, look, this is the only way to see clearly."
Lu Jingshu didn't notice that she had already reached the fence outside the small building. She just kept admiring the clothes in the sunlight and kept exclaiming in admiration.
Lu Qinghui looked at the crowd downstairs again and saw that there were still as many people as before, so she quietly changed her position and stood close to the railing. She pushed Lu Jingshu inward and said, "Sister, be careful not to fall down. This is too close to the fence."
Lu Jingshu was completely defenseless. She had bullied Lu Qinghui a lot in the past, and when she was pushed back by her, she didn't have time to think too much. She pushed Lu Qinghui outwards with force in anger, and Lu Qinghui was pushed out of the railing and fell straight down.
But Lu Qinghui was not a fool. After all, the person who could destroy Guo Zhi's embroidery for several months without being discovered was not a simple person. The moment she fell, she grabbed Lu Jingshu's arm tightly.
They both fell down together.
"Sister, what are you doing?!" Lu Qinghui shouted in horror.
"It's you! What do you want to do?" Lu Jingshu fell face down, panic filled her heart, and cried, "You are really crazy, help me!"
