The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 351: Following the Trend

First, she went to the jade shop to collect the bottle, paid a hundred taels of silver, and then went to the porcelain shop.

At the porcelain shop, Manager Zhou was all smiles, "I thought Doctor Gu didn’t want these two bottles anymore, as I hadn’t seen you come to collect them for a long time."

Yun Jiao playfully said, "I forgot, and you didn’t even think to send them to me, aren’t you afraid I’ll really not take them?"

Manager Zhou stroked his beard, "These two bottles were made by our best craftsmen, using top-grade kaolin to mold overnight. Out of many fired, only these two looked decent, so I kept them for you."

"Even if you don’t want them, I won’t worry about selling them."

Yun Jiao thanked Manager Zhou, paid the silver, and left.

Upon exiting, she saw Manager Sun standing by the street.

Manager Sun was looking up at the shop’s signboard, tears seemingly glistening in his eyes.

Not greeting him, Yun Jiao quickly walked away.

She knew Manager Sun didn’t like her, and she didn’t want to upset him, so it was best to avoid him.

Back home, Yun Jiao opened both boxes.

The porcelain shop’s box was a huanghuali wood box inlaid with mother-of-pearl.

Inside were two small white porcelain bottles, one painted with a few pink peach blossom petals, the other with a few blue chrysanthemum petals.

The few strokes of petals made the white porcelain bottles less monotonous.

When she held them up to the light, the porcelain was fine and translucent, light in her hand, meeting her requirements for thickness.

Then, opening the brocade box from the jade shop, the two white jade bottles were exquisite and crystal clear, emitting a warm luster.

Even the lids were delicately crafted, with one using red coral and the other lapis lazuli for color matching.

The two bottles were so captivating that one couldn’t bear to put them down, inviting to be held and admired.

Yun Jiao carefully used a dropper to fill perfume into the jade and porcelain bottles respectively.

Held up to the light, the white jade bottle’s transparency enhanced the light red perfume inside, resembling a beauty’s blush, indescribably beautiful.

Yun Jiao decided to use the jade bottles, filled both with perfume, and capped them.

The next day, Yun Jiao got up early and went to Mrs. Chen’s room to have her hair done.

Still styled into a Ling Snake bun, adorned with the jade orchid hairpin Jiang Youzhi had gifted, exuding understated luxury.

Next, Yun Jiao returned to her room to change clothes, wearing a pure blue jacket and a water-blue translucent gauze robe.

In the Great Chu Dynasty, aristocrats and wealthy people loved wearing translucent gauze robes in summer.

For women, the jackets reached the chest, so while the gauze was transparent, it only exposed the arms and shoulders.

Men also loved wearing gauze robes, those with good figures were fine, offering a subtle allure, but some men wore them on the street, leaving nothing to the imagination, even showing chest hair clearly.

Yun Jiao really couldn’t bear to look.

Initially resistant to this transparent attire, having seen it often, she gradually grew accustomed.

Both Mrs. Chen and the silk shop’s proprietress had stirred her to make two such outfits; today was her first time wearing them.

She glanced reluctantly in the mirror, finding it acceptable, mainly because it was cool.

Mrs. Chen continuously praised, "They look great, make you seem even fairer dressed like this."

Taohua also agreed they looked good.

Mrs. Chen added, "I made a gauze robe for Sanlang too, I wonder if he’s put it on yet?"

Imagining Jiang Youzhi in a gauze robe, Yun Jiao mischievously chuckled.

Mrs. Chen then walked outside and shouted towards the east wing, "Sanlang, for today’s banquet, wear the white gauze robe I made for you."
