After the Legend Chapter 201: woman, woman

The days go by, and the May Day is getting closer

Ito Castle is filled with joy, people are actively preparing for the upcoming festival

The road is clean and there is a special person to patrol every morning, noon and night to prevent someone from dirtying the ground

The exterior walls of the houses on both sides of the street have been washed, and some of them have been repainted. Many people put beautiful flower pots on the windowsill, adding a bit of beauty to the house

Workers are erecting tall wooden poles and hanging colorful flags on the open space of the Heroes Square in front of the palace. The statues of heroes of the past dynasties have been cleaned and tens of thousands of pots of flowers are placed around them. Form a variety of patterns

People in and out of the city, whether rich or poor, have flocked to shops large and small to make big purchases for festivals. Nobles and rich people naturally choose gorgeous and expensive things to buy, and the poor will also add a tael to their homes. A new commoner, and a little more meat and wine

The young girls frantically search for the most fashionable dresses, shoes and accessories, and then try their best to dress themselves up. The boys seem to be calm, but they are actually secretly practicing one or two unique skills, intending to perform at the festival. Attract your sweetheart's attention

This madness swept the city, and even the Rose Garden did not escape

On Dora's orders, Winnie has been soaking in tailors and clothing stores in the city for four consecutive days, inquiring about what styles of skirts are popular in the aristocratic circle recently; Marcy went directly to her brothers, from Xiao They collected information from a beauty shop and waited until they were finally satisfied. They returned with the selected tailor and the latest fashion catalog. They planned to make a new dress for Minna. Jenny also joined the discussion with great interest

Jenny has been living a prosperous life since she can remember. Except for being called by Lilith to be a maid for a few days a few days ago, she has never suffered much. Now she arrives at the Rose Garden and takes off her maid uniform. She put on her original long dress, her hair was tied with a ribbon, she was pretty and lovely, she was more like a rich lady than Mingna, she was as interested in clothing as other young girls

The more the three of them chatted, the more excited they became. Mr. Tailor huddled pitifully in the corner. After the thirteenth proposal was rejected, he was completely ignored by the ladies.

Ming Na couldn't stand seeing them talking happily, so she moved quietly and planned to sneak out unwittingly, but she only took two steps before Winnie found out: "Miss Minna! Where are you going? Go?!"

Ming Na froze and turned her head with a dry smile: "I read the potions book, and I don't seem to have reviewed my homework today..."

Jenny rolled her eyes: "Oh Minna, it's May Day, everyone is on vacation, who would review her homework at this time? And hasn't the academy already replied? Preparing for final exams, new students won't be accepted until the fall semester, you don't need to be so diligent now, throw away your books and enjoy the holidays!"

She just wants to relax and enjoy the festival to escape, okay?

But Winnie glared at her with a disapproving face: "When Miss Minna left Meyton, Miss Dora asked Qian'e that you must attend the May Day dance! She also wrote a special letter to It is very important for me to prepare a few more sets of beautiful clothes for you, you must not escape!"

She rushed to the door and slammed the door shut, turned around and stared at Ming Na with unparalleled momentum. "It's just..." Her eyes wandered and she suddenly heard a tinkling sound outside the window, "I'm just thinking about the renovation project of the secret passage."

"It won't help you if you go, there are people from the security department watching, you should concentrate on choosing the clothes for the prom!" Winnie "snapped" and spread several large catalogues in front of her. On the tea table, "Pick one! Pick the one you like, don't choose red sequins, red sequins are not popular now, and you have enough red sequins!"

Ming Na glanced at the various color pictures of dresses in the catalog, and was a little discouraged: "Why is it so troublesome? I just wear it to play, in fact, my own clothes are very good" These gorgeous and cumbersome Clothes are really not her cup of tea...

"What are you talking about?!" Jenny sat next to her with wide-eyed eyes, "May Day, May Day! Don't you know what the May Day dance means? Whether it's aristocrats or commoners, it's a Carnival festival! Men and women who love each other can get tired of being together freely, and no one will laugh at them. So, how can we not go to the dance during the May Festival? How can we go to the dance without wearing beautiful new clothes?! How can a nice new outfit captivate a man?! Don't tell me you're not going to dance with Mr. Alex! He's so noble and handsome, if you don't dress up a bit, beware that other girls will seduce him Go!"

Ming Na was stunned: "What does this have to do with Alex? Why should I dance with him?"

"Of course it does!" Jenny slapped the armrest of the sofa vigorously, "Are you planning to dance with someone else? Frankly, Minna, you don't know any good men in Idong at all, do you? Except for Mr. Alex, Do you have any other options?!"

This is a bit weird, but it seems to make sense. If you really want to find a dance partner, of course it will be Alex

Wait...that's not the point, is it? The point is, why is she going to prom with Alex! She didn't plan to go at all, okay? Moreover, why did she dress up so that others would not seduce Alex? Isn't that what lovers do? !

On the other side, Jenny is already sighing: "A good person like Mr. Alex, where can I find Ao, who is handsome and tall, and has the ability and a noble birth. He came over that night. She was still wearing pajamas at the time, but it was custom-made in 'Wallen Waren'! Apart from the royal family, that shop only does business with the old family. I still remember last fall, when Chris from the Tuya family showed off her all over the world. She wants to marry a noble, and she said she would go to 'Wallen Varen' to customize a wedding dress, but she was ignored at all, which is really cool!"

She suddenly covered her mouth, glanced quickly at the serious-looking aunt, and coughed a few times uncomfortably: "Sorry, I got carried away for a while, but Mr. Alex is really good, he will politely ask me Hello, wearing very simple, but never forget to use incense! That is not the cheesy stuff used by nobles, the fragrance is mysterious and fresh, it is really noble and elegant..."

Ming Na's mouth twitched, hesitating whether to tell her that it was actually a medicinal incense she made, and it has a remarkable effect on repelling mosquitoes...

"I remember that you seem to have a sweetheart..." Could it be that Jenny was empathetic, and looked at it instead

Calendar?

Jenny winked at her: "Other, my good cousin, I love Henry, I didn't plan to take your lover"

Minna is a little helpless: he is not her lover, let his real lover go to this kind of thing...

As soon as this thought came up, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. What was that feeling of suffocation?

Winnie's words interrupted her thoughts: "Speaking of which, when I sent the cake to the Green Room yesterday, I seemed to see Master Alex finishing a dark blue dress, it was a big dress, Unless!"

Jenny clapped her hands: "That must be what he prepared for May Day!"

"But..." Winnie hesitated, "it seems a little too formal. If it's a prom, it's too serious."

"Oh, Winnie, that's not serious, it's noble and solemn!" Jenny quickly flipped through the catalog, "I see... there! How about this bright blue one? Mr. Lex's dress, and it has the most popular square collar...the one that shows the collarbone, and the irregular slit on the skirt...I remember that the Marchioness of Kiltas wore one last month. The peach red se dress with irregular slits went to a certain nobleman's birthday party, and everyone was fascinated by that dress..."

Minnazhe: "How do you know?"

Jenny replied quickly: "Mrs. Lilith was also in the superego at that time. I heard from the other maids in Cardo. It is said that Mrs. Lilith dropped six vases that night because no one paid attention to her specially made new dress. "

Minna quietly wiped a drop of sweat from her forehead

"If we really want to choose this dress, we'd better make some changes..." Marcy, who had been silent for a while, suddenly interjected, "Every customer can get this catalog, and maybe someone will follow suit. We picked the same model"

Mr. Tailor finally found the opportunity to speak: "We only make each dress for one customer..."

But his voice was quickly muffled by Winnie: "I remember that Miss Manda had a skirt, made of several layers of tulle to make the bottom skirt, and it was a little longer than the outer skirt, and it was layered. It's very pretty. Why don't you do the same with this dress? Use light blue yarn?"

"The soft gauze is better, three layers are enough" Marcy turned to look at Ming Na, "How about changing the skirt to gray and blue? I think this color suits your skin better"

Ming Na opened her mouth, sighed, and spread her hands: "Please feel free to..."

"How can this be arbitrary?!" Jenny looked disapproving, then approached her aunt and showed her the booklet in her hand, "How about embroidering the pattern of clouds on the skirt? It must be beautiful like a dream"

"Clouds are too simple, I think passionflower is better" This is Winnie's voice

Then Marcy: "Would you like to add some embellishment to the sleeves? Ribbons? Bows? Or lace flowers?"

The three ladies discussed themselves again. Ming Na looked at the depressed face in the corner of the room, sighed, and quietly retreated to the door. Suddenly, she remembered something and interrupted loudly. Ladies: "I only have one request! Never a dress! At least let me ride and walk, I don't want to step on my dress on the street!"

"What?!"

"This is ridiculous!"

"No one has ever shown up at a noble ball in a calf-less dress..."

Minna quickly closed the door, shutting all the screams behind the door, and was relieved

The sun is shining outside, green grass has been planted in the soil in the front yard, and there is a small cart next to it, full of flowers in small pots. A cousin placed the flowers of the same se into a small Fang Zhen, wiped his sweat, looked up to see Minna, and waved his hand to say hello: "How do you feel? The flowers just bought from the suburbs, take care of them for a few more days, and they will bloom well during the May Festival."

Ming Na squatted down and looked around, nodding her head repeatedly: "It's hard work for you, but why don't you study with this book like your second cousin, so that you can prepare for the TD exam?"

The cousin smiled: "I'm not that kind of material. I'm more interested in planting flowers. It's the best thing to be able to plant whatever you like, as you are now, look at the backyard. There's a large piece of land, I'm sure it's beautifully tidy, and it's no worse than the best garden in the city!" After a pause, he leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "When will those people be finished? Our backyard? They've taken half of it!"

Minna also lowered her voice: "The other half will belong to them, there is no way but part of the nearby woods belong to us, you can go and play with your ideas there"

Cousin can hear the interest: "Really? Then I want to plant some fruit trees. I used to be in charge of the orchard when I was in Gutenberg..."

The sound of a carriage came from the front door. It was a small carriage for shopping~IndoMTL.com~ Uncle and another cousin carried a few boxes and got out of the car, and greeted with sweat: "Berleigh, Come and help!"

Cousin Burley walked over immediately, and Minna helped to carry a box, which seemed to be quite heavy. She caught a glimpse of a dozen jars in the carriage, three packs of meat, some potatoes, melons, and vegetables. There were several bouquets of flowers, all wrapped in cardboard to avoid damage to the petals. She was a little curious: "What are these bought for? Are they in a bottle?" It seems too much, right?

"On the plug and on the clothes, use the leftovers to put in the bottle" Uncle Biao wiped his sweat, "It's all Marcy, Jenny, and Jenny's sisters, cousins ​​and cousins ​​for May Day. Sisters, they have to make new clothes and they have to go to the dance, so we have to spend money..."

Ming Nazhe looked at the box in everyone's hands, another cousin smiled wryly: "Satin, soft satin, various tulle lace knots, ribbons, fake pearls... Your box contains dancing shoes. , my brother went to buy fabric for long gloves, our girls like to do it by themselves"

Mingna is silent, after all, women are women. In such a carnival festival, no one is willing to give up the right to dress up

The sound of a carriage sounded outside the door again. Burley looked over to look: "Is it the hall brother back?"

It was someone from Cardo who came and handed a letter respectfully: "Miss Minna, our young master is back. His Excellency the Count said, please come over for dinner today"

Little Master? Do you mean Uncle's youngest son, Feld, who is only eleven years old?

Minna remembers that Bevin once mentioned that this cousin went to the south with his grandfather last winter to escape the cold, but she didn't expect to come back until May Day. ?

(It's late again, sorry...)
