Chapter 129 - A Hibiscus Out of Water
[TL note: The idiom ‘A Hibiscus out of water’ is used to describe a naturally enchanting and beautiful woman]
Feeling extremely joyous, Little Bell threw herself at Yun Qianyu and hugged Yun Qianyu’s waist, “Big sister Yun, you are very kind to me. I like you, I really like you.”
Yun Qianyu grabbed the collar of Little Bell’s clothes and pulled her away from her waist. since she was not used to being so intimate with other people.
Little Bell didn’t care at all though and rushed back into Yun Qianyu’s arms. This time, she placed her arms around her neck.
“Big sister Yun, I promise I will listen to you in the future. Please don’t drive me away.”
Unable to stand her anymore, Yun Qianyu shook her head, “Alright, alright. We’re going to eat soon, aren’t you hungry?”
When she heard about food, Little Bell’s eyes immediately sparkled. Like a hungry predator, she darted out happily and said, “Time to eat, time to eat!”
Yun Qianyu’s face darkened as she recalled how much food Little Bell had eaten last night, only to be hungry again already. Yun Qianyu really couldn’t figure out how Little Bell could eat so much.
When Yun Qianyu finally arrived at the main hall of Black Bamboo Pavilion, Little Bell was already happily enjoying her food.
Too lazy to pay attention to Little Bell, Yun Qianyu looked toward Hua Mei and said, “You too, go and pick something suitable for yourself.”
“Ah?” Hua Mei was startled and shook her head immediately. “Young miss, I feel more comfortable with what I’m wearing right now.”
Yun Qianyu gave her a look and explained, “I’m going to Xuantian Auction House today so I can’t have you walking around in that.”
“Oh, in that case,” Hua Mei said in a worried tone; she was really not used to wearing such good clothes. On the other side, Little Bell was very comfortable in her new clothes; it seemed that she was already used to this type of clothing.
“How about I go find another set of clothing that servants wear?”
Yun Qianyu glared at her and said, “I told you to go pick something out. Why are you being so reluctant?”
Hua Mei didn’t dare to say anything more since she knew that Yun Qianyu was a pretty stubborn person. With that in mind, Hua Mei went and picked out a dress and put it on.
After the three had finished breakfast, they left Black Bamboo Pavilion.
Along the way, they attracted a lot of attention. With a white veil covering her face, Yun Qianyu walked gracefully in her lake blue dress. In her hair, she wore a piece of white jade jewelry. Enhanced by her graceful demeanor, Yun Qianyu seemed surpassingly enchanting.
Following closely behind, Little Bell also looked cute and lovely. Hua Mei on the other hand was a little uneasy, but she was definitely much more presentable.
The group of three instantly attracted the attention of a lot of people. The onlookers would watch as they walked by and then discuss among themselves about how beautiful they were.
Most of the people talked about how even though the eldest lady Yun had her face ruined, she still had a graceful demeanor.
Not paying attention to the onlookers, Yun Qianyu led Little Bell and Hua Mei to the carriage at Eternal Peace Marquis’s Residence. They then stepped into the carriage and headed to the Xuantian Auction House.
The Xuantian Auction House was the most famous auction place in the state of Dong Li. Besides having an auction house in the state of Dongli, they also had auction houses in other states.
Every month, they would auction a lot of valuable treasures, ranging from all kinds of spirit animals to all kinds of elixir pills, spirit crystals, and spirit items. In short, they offered many good items each time, which made their monthly auction very successful.
When Yun Qianyu, Little Bell, and Hua Mei arrived, there were already many people in front of Xuantian Auction House. Because there was still some time before the auction, the people there were not in a hurry to enter the auction house; instead, they gathered together to chit-chat.
