Chapter 40: The Chinese Beauty's Boudoir
Jacqueline is a gentle French beauty, often looking puzzled at the messy things, pulling her to ask this and that.
"Hey, what's this red handkerchief for?"
Red handkerchief? Ning Mengxiu wipes her forehead.
"No, this is a red cap, used to cover the bride's head at weddings." She patiently explained one by one, Jacqueline furrowed her brow sometimes, and was surprised sometimes, most of the time seeming to understand but not quite getting it. Alas, it was all because she wasn't fluent in French, almost causing a laughable situation.
While shopping, Ning Meng couldn't help but ask about Ye Xiner, deliberately making a fuss, "I heard that our boss's girlfriend is a great beauty and also very good at painting, unfortunately I haven't seen her before."
"Are you referring to Miss Ye?" Yalun smiled at her and said in Chinese, "She's a modern-day lady of leisure."
Sweat. Generally speaking, the term "闺秀" (feminine elegance) refers to women with classical temperament, elegant and refined, cultured and tasteful... Can add two modern words... Ning's brain is muddled, haha, a highly difficult combination.
"Has Mrs Smith ever met Miss Ye in person?"
"Jacqueline smiled and said," I saw her once in France. Guan Xian brought her to our estate as a guest. Miss Ye was tall and slender, with long hair down her shoulders, and looked very beautiful. And she was very talented. I remember that at the time, she and Guan Xian played a duet together, the melody was so moving and touching, I still remember it today. When she left, she even painted an oil painting as a gift to us as a memento, so my impression of her is particularly deep."
