Chapter 155 Su Jiuyue
"Excuse me? I expect it is something amazing since you look quite mysterious. But it turns out to be just a purse? My embroiderer can make two or three a day. Is this rare?"
"Don't say that. Maybe there are other things in it."
"Quite possible. Let's take a look!"
......
Su Yi's eyes fell on the embroidered pattern that an egret flies above the lotus. Why did she feel that the stitch and the embroidery looked familiar? Had she ever seen somewhere before?
The ladies beside her were all urging, so she took out the purse before she could think about it carefully.
As soon as Su Yi picked up the purse, she felt heavy, and it really wasn't empty.
"Is there anything in it?" Su Yi asked, pouring out the stuff in the purse.
Looking at the southern pearl lying in her palm, she didn't know what to say for a while.
Maybe such a pearl was rare for others, but her father had given many to her just a few days ago, which were bigger than this one.
Some of the ladies around her already exclaimed, "Wow! The southern pearl! This kind of gold pearl is worth a lot of money!"
"It's rare! You are cheesy and tacky to value it in terms of money."
"All right. You're not flashy at all..."
Cui Qingyun was satisfied with everyone's reactions. With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she slowly shook her head, "Although the pearl is rare, after all, I can still get it. Actually the most uncommon one is this purse."
When everyone heard that the purse was even more rare than the pearl, they all slowly fell silent, waiting for the explanation.
"On the surface, this purse looks like ordinary, and it is even much thinner than what we usually use, but in fact..."
She deliberately kept them in suspense, then turned to look at Su Yi, and grinned at her, "Sister Yi, turn over the purse and have a look!"
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and then following her instruction, she turned the purse inside out.
The other side was also an egret pattern, but it was a completely different style.
Only then did everyone discover that this purse could actually be used with both sides! Due to such a thin layer of cloth, they were even unable to see the thread residue at all.
Immediately, an expert exclaimed, "This is double-sided embroidery!"
Seeing someone told the origin of this embroidery, Cui Qingyun was even more satisfied, "Yes, it is double-sided embroidery."
Su Yi was also very happy, but her joy was different from their pleasure.
"Do you know Jiuyue?!" Su Yi was overjoyed, looking at Cui Qingyun with bright eyes, as if looking at her sweetheart.
"Jiuyue? Who is it?" Cui Qingyun frowned.
She really didn't know. She only knew that the woman doing the embroidery, her surname was Su, but it was a pity that she didn't have the same destiny as Miss Su, who grew up with love and was coddled at home. Although embroiderer Su had the same surname, she could only work and farm in the fields.
Not only that, she even had to spend her lifetime with a man she despised.
Su Yi was full of disappointment since Cui didn't know Jiuyue, so she asked, "Don't you really know?"
Cui Qingyun was keenly aware of the change in Su's mood, and the woman named Jiuyue may be very important to her.
She turned her head to the side and thought about it before she said, "I wonder if the lady you are talking about is a woman surnamed Su? And she looks thirteen or fourteen years old?"
Su Yi's eyes lit up again, "It's her! Did she embroider this purse?"
Cui Qingyun didn't expect that Su Yi could figure out who had made the purse just by having a look on it. Su Yi should be very familiar with the embroiderer Su, according to her reactions.
In this way, the purse that Cui had sent out seemed to be nothing fancy.
She was very confused and couldn't understand how did that village woman get involved with Miss Su Yi, a noble lady. But she wasn't able to get the answer no matter how she tried to guess.
"Yes, that's what she embroidered."
"Is she alright? I haven't seen her for a long time." This was the first time Su Yi had shown interest this day, and she seemed to want to have a long talk with Cui Qingyun.
But Cui Qingyun didn't know much about Su Jiuyue, and the only thing she knew was Jiuyue's husband, an unlucky guy that her father appreciated.
"I don't know very well. I heard that she had married a fool. It's too pitiful."
In order not to worry Su Yi, Su Jiuyue did not tell her about Wu Xiyuan's situation.
So Su Yi was stunned when she heard the words, "How could it be? She actually told me that her man was very nice to her last time?! This silly girl, why didn't she tell me directly? Was she afraid that I would not back up her?!"
She was anxious and angry, and said directly: "Miss Cui, don't go back today. Just stay and live here. You have to take me to Jiuyue tomorrow morning."
Cui Qingyun originally thought that the two were just acquaintances, but she didn't expect that Su Yi was going to support that woman in person.
Although she didn't know how the two developed their relationship, at this point, she had no choice but to agree first. "It's my honor to be able to help you, but I still need to tell my brother so that he won't worry."
Su Yi was a carefree and potent girl, since she had been coddled by Su Zhuang, so she immediately said: "It's easy to do. Xia He, you go to the front yard in person and tell Young Master Cui. Just let him go back alone today. Miss Cui will stay with me."
After speaking, she turned her head to Cui Qingyun and asked, "I'm wondering if Miss Cui can tell me your brother's name?"
"My brother's name is Qingjun."
Xia He, the principal maid of Su Yi, immediately went to the front yard after receiving her order.
Cui Qingjun was the subordinate of Prince Yan. Although he was only a little bodyguard, he served by the Prince. Therefore, a few people who came to the banquet had seen him before, and of course they had to avoid making him embarrassed. Therefore, he could also join well in this group of sophisticates like a duck to water.
Xia He passed on the order of her master to Cui Qingjun, and Cui Qingjun murmured in his heart, feeling confused. He didn't know what his sister had done, and even Miss Su asked her stay overnight.
But he pretended to be clam, "It's also Yunyun's luck that she can get in touch with Miss Su. I'll send someone to pick her up tomorrow morning."
Xia He had a decent smile on her face, saying, "Young Master Cui has been worrying too much. My lady says that tomorrow she will have someone put on a carriage to send Miss Cui back."
"Then it is really great. Thank you so much."
.
It was the first time that Cui Qingyun spent the night outside. She lived in the Su residence that she never dared to think about before. Even the silk bedding she slept under was not something her family could afford.
There were also perfumed fumes in the room. She didn't know the incense recipe, but the aroma lingered on her nose, condensing and not dissipating, making one smelling extremely great.
There was also a cabinet in the room, which was made of rose wood.
......
She was excited for most of the night before she fell asleep.
It's just that she hadn't slept for long when the door was pushed open from the outside, "Miss Cui?"
"Sorry, she hasn't gotten up yet. Why do you come over so early, Miss Su?"
"It's okay. I'll just sit here and wait for her. I just have come back from exercises in gymnastics. I'm worrying about Jiuyue, so we have to set off as soon as possible. Ask your lady be quick."
As Su Yi said that, she frowned, "When I think of the suffering of Jiuyue in her husband's family, my heart seems to be pinched by someone. I am extremely uncomfortable!"
