Chapter 7: The Beauty's Beaded Curtain, Seated Deep in Thought with Furrowed Brows

  Right in front of her was Jinzhu, a plump and delicate girl with a small stature, but she hummed coldly and said: "Every day you just have some tricks to bully me and let me tolerate you? Today there is no such good thing, this dress, even if I lose an eye, I will never give it to you!"

  The creek girl clapped her hands and laughed instead: "This is indeed unbearable, no need to bear it anymore? But you've miscalculated, this garment is counted as a reward, and I should be the one to choose first."

  "You've already made your choice and come back, why are you still arguing with me?" Jin Zhuang's expression turned cold: "I'd rather not let you have your way!"

  The rules of the Yan Yu Pavilion, new clothes and jewelry hairpins, must be selected by the most generous customers, starting with the most popular sister. This Zhe Creek girl, although new, has a big reputation, and many officials and nobles come to hear her play "High Mountain Flowing Water". Even Shen Shangshu praised her piano art, saying "This song should be in heaven, how can people hear it?" Her fame is even more outside, customers are willing to spend thousands of dollars to listen to a song, which is not uncommon. Recently, even the famous courtesan Yuanyuan girl has lost her luster, these clothes and jewelry hairpins are naturally available for priority selection.

  Jin Zhu's daughter has always been moderate and steady, although she can't compare to Ruo Xi's temporary fame, but she also has some stable and good relationships. Her temperament is the most gentle, easy-going, and not competitive, but this time, she unexpectedly got into a dispute with Ruo Xi, who is known for her sharp tongue, and it seems like she will be at a disadvantage. Bai Lian's husband's counterattack

  I hastily asked Luan'er: "Sister, I don't know which good clothes the two girls are fighting over?"

  The swan-like girl nodded towards the little maid behind Miss Yu: "Yes, it's that crimson coat with golden threads."

  I took a closer look, and the little slave girl was indeed holding a flowing, colorful brocade garment. The dyeing was bright and beautiful, and the workmanship was also extremely exquisite. Countless golden threads and silver lines were intertwined within it, and from afar, it seemed to be a pattern of stars rushing towards the moon. The craftsmanship was so ingenious that it made one sigh in admiration. No wonder even the aloof and detached Golden Pearl girl's heart was moved.

  "Joke, since the accountant calculated the reward money, I'm the first one to choose. Who else can compete with me for this prize? It's not my fault that you're not capable, and you don't have any guests to back you up. You're just a tiny insect trying to shake a big tree, it's laughable how you overestimate yourself."

  Xiao Xi laughed a few times and was about to take the little slave girl back to her room when Jin Zhu's maid Chun Yu stepped forward and grabbed the little slave girl, saying: "Miss chose first, that's the order calculated by the accountant, there can't be any mistake. However, Miss had already chosen eight pieces of clothing and eight hairpins earlier and took them away. This golden thread dress is what my mistress has been eyeing, but you didn't choose it earlier. Now that you see it, you're coming to fight for it? Let everyone judge, who's right or wrong?"

  The young lady of the creek coldly smiled and said: "Master is foolish, this servant has come to play hero, no matter what, the priority order is mine. Even if I regret it a bit, what's wrong with that? At most, I'll give you one piece of unwanted clothing, and that's it. Now don't make a fuss, I still need to go back to my room to try on new clothes."

  "Jin Zhu's hands and feet were shaking with anger: 'If you liked it, why didn't you take it earlier? Now that I have taken it, you come to snatch it from me. Is this not intentionally making things difficult for me?'"

  "Hey, look at what the girl is saying," Yu Xi smiled back: "Red lips and white teeth, can't I bully you? I advise you to be content with your lot, wear some dull gray or blue clothes, that's all. Such bright and beautiful dresses, if worn on you, how many more glances can you get? It would be a waste, wouldn't it?"

  “….” Jin Zhu's maid was indignant, but her words were not quick enough, and for a moment she couldn't say anything. Coincidentally, the maid Chun Yu was also a person who didn't give in easily. This time, her master had lost face, so she came to argue: "Miss has good relationships with everyone, naturally everyone knows that. But no matter how many times you look at it, you have to blame yourself for not recognizing this good clothing earlier and then regretting it later. You're relying on some reward money to bully people, what's the point of that? It's said that a person can't be lucky every day, flowers can't bloom forever, thirty years ago was the east side of the river, thirty years later is the west side of the river... I just hope Miss won't encounter any more misfortunes in the future. This time you didn't leave any room for maneuver, if in the future you fall behind our Miss, new and old accounts will be settled together, don't regret not having a good relationship with us!"

  When Creek Girl heard this, she was furious and shouted: "A little hoof, actually cursed this girl! This girl is not good enough, but a camel that has starved to death is bigger than a horse. How could I be friends with you, a girl nobody wants? You dare to be arrogant in front of me, are you tired of living?" As she spoke, she raised her slender fingers and slapped Spring Rain twice, causing Spring Rain's peach-like face to instantly become red and swollen.

  Jin Zhu's maid saw her being beaten by Ruo Xi's maid in public, and felt humiliated. She angrily said: "When beating a dog, one must consider its master! You're too arrogant, relying on your few talents and looking down on everyone! Don't forget that even a rabbit will bite when desperate. If you continue to bully me like this, I'll risk my life to accompany you to the end!"
