Because everyone present there knew that they were send there to please Gu Yanyan and form a closer bond with her but because of this one issue if Gu Yanyan got upset and angry with them then not only Gu Yanran but they would also be punished for not thinking wisely in such situations.
So all young ladies closed their mouths wisely and didn't mentioned about the dress being second hand in front of Gu Yanyan again.
But such a wonderful chance, how could Gu Yanyan let it go.
Gu Yanyan smiled and stepped forward and put her hand at the top of Gu Yanran's hand which were holding the white camellia dress.
"Wow. It's such a good chance for us both sisters to wear same kind of dress at the same time. Let's wear it at the banquet at the Duke Zhanglie's mansion next week. I heard he would turn seventy next week and so duke mansion is throwing the biggest birthday party ever for the old duke. I'm sure everyone from the big families in the capital would attend the party and I've heard from the servants that in the duke's banques even royals will be invited. Ah I'm so excited third sister. We sisters will surely be the highlight of the banquet, if we will appear in the same kind of dress, what do you say?" Gu Yanyan asked with an exciting and cheerful voice sounding so happy that even Gu Yanwen felt bad for her naivety.
"But it wouldn't be appropriate to wear same kind of clothes at the same time, would it?" Gu Yanran asked in hesitation.
Of course, she won't wear same kind of clothes as Gu Yanyan at the same time. It's not only about if it's appropriate or not, it's about.... where would she find the same kind of clothes with same design on it and that too within a week of time?
Even if she would pay ten times of amount she paid when she first made the dress, the embroidery house won't take the order.
Not to forget the fact that the whole capital is running to high end embroidery shops to made clothes for them for various occasions.
The spring is already in the middle and flowers are in full bloom, there are so many kinds of banquets from marquis mansion to the duke's house and if she wasn't wrong even the royal banquet would be held sooner or later to celebrate the victory in the north and to welcome and our brave soldiers officially.
"Of course it wouldn't be appropriate if others wear the same clothes as ours but if it's us two sister's then who will dare to question? We don't wear the same dress as other's because we fear to anger them or upset them by wearing the same dress as them but if we sisters would wear the same dresses, will you be upset or angry?" Gu Yanyan asked in her gentle and comforting tone.
Now put it logically, Gu Yanran felt her head spinning.
Did she had any choice other than shaking her head and saying no?
Would she dare to say that yes, she would be angry and not only angry, she would be livid if Gu Yanyan entered the banquet wearing the same dress as her.
What were they? Three year old kids who would appear in a banquet wearing same-same clothes showing that they were from the same house?
She could only grit her lowered her head.
"Of course I wouldn't be angry eldest sister. Why would you think so. In fact I would love to match my dress with you." Gu said with a forced but a wide smile on her face as her grip tightened on the dress so much so that it definitely would have left wrinkles on the dress.
"That's my good sister." Gu Yanyan said as she patted on the top of Gu Yanran's hands and then stepped back and took her seat.
Other young ladies also took their seats and lifted their cups to their lips and took sips on their tea.
"But eldest sister, I've to tell you this; it's the best tea I've had in my entire life." Gu Yanjie said after she tasted the tea and then looked up to see other's reactions.
Indeed.
As she had expected, other younger sisters also had the same expressions on their faces.
"Yes eldest sister. We really hadn't had such a fragrant and refreshing tea in our entire life. I've only smelled this kind of tea in father's study or in the grandmother's hall when some important guests visit." Gu Yanshi and Gu Yanwan also gave their feedbacks.
Only Gu Yanwen sipped her tea as if she was sipping on water with no expression while Gu Yanran's expression..... let's not talk about it.
"Haha. It's fine. It's fine. As long as you young ladies like it. It was sent from Hangzhou, my maternal cousin's family had some tea plantation there, so they had sent a batch of tea picked in the first session this year." Gu Yanyan casually threw a few more sentence in praise of her maternal cousin.
By doing this she killed two birds with one stone; first, she found an excuse to cover up the truth behind the tea and her business in Hangzhou city and the second was.... she wanted to make a craze in Gu family members about the wealth and power behind Lin Chenfeng.
The more powerful and wealthy Lin Chenfeng would be, the more impatient Gu family members would be to be associated with his and to build a bond with him and the more important Lin Chenfeng would be for Gu family members, the more treasured Gu Yanyan become in Gu Residence and then would start the show.
Gu Yanyan hide the evil smirk in her eyes as she talk about a few more things about her cousin and 'accidentally' revealed about the accessories she got as a gift from her cousin brother at the chinese new year.
Yang Xumei didn't hesitated and immediately brought a silver tray full of accessories.
Just as the gazes fell on the accessories, Gu Yanwan, the youngest one immediately screamed-
